Will this mac run garageband and if so what version? the mac i am considering is a Apple Power PC G5, Dual 2GHz Processors, 160GB hard drive, 2GB RAM, OS X 10.5.1 installed .

Hi, I am a newbie to mac's , but i am considering buying the following mac to hopefully run a version of garageband(though i am unsure as to the versions available and what will run on this mac?).
The mac is a power pc g5 with a 160gb hd 2gb ram osx 10.5.1 is installed(i am now aware that i can update this to 10.5.8 via apple) what verisons of garageband work best on this set up ?  the mac would come with a disc ilife08 though i am not sure if this has any music software on it?
any help would be nice.
Many thanks J

Thanks for the reply, i am interested in this mac to try out this platform....i understand what you are saying.....but i do not wish to spend too much money on something i may not get on with(even though people say macs are the best).
I thought that the price i can buy this mac(£100 all in) was a good entry level to look at this platform and if i like it i can always invest further money down the line in an intel based mac.
Can anyone advise if this spec can run the garage band on the ilife disc?
Is it possible on the version on ilife 08 to use appleloops?
ANy help would be nice
Many Thanks Jay

  • What is the strongest iPad that will work in New Zealand and Australia?  What is the cost plus tax, please?

    What is the strongest iPad that will work in New Zealand and Australia.  What is the cost including tax, please?  Can I purchase this at the Brea, California Apple shop?

    You can see the American retail prices on the Apple website. If you look at 3G, make sure not to get the Verizon model, as it won't work outside of the US.
    Otherwise, sales taxes are different from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, so you'll have to Google to find out the local sales tax in Brea as well as the California state sales tax.

    Connect the HDD to your MBP.  Open Disk Utility>Erase and drag the HDD icon inrt the Name field.  The format should be Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  Click on the Erase button.
    Then try the clone process again.  You may use Disk Utility>Restore or a third party cloning application such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper.

  • Will this setup run okay and audio interface advice please!

    Okay, please forgive me any stupid comments. I am merely a humble musician been thrown into the deep end by some friends looking for a sound tech for their show.
    Will all this play nice with each other in this setup?
    2 x radio mics > 2 channel receiver > audio interface > macbook (mainstage)
    1 x radio mic > receiver > (line-in) macbook (mainstage)
    then....
    macbook > audio interface > pa
    I don't yet have an audio interface. Any reccomendations and suggestions welcome. USB preferred, nothing flashy just something that does the job.
    Thank you!

    Hi
    For this to work, you would need to set up an Aggregate device using Audio MIDI Setup, and then to set Mainstage audio preferences to use this aggregate as the audio input device.
    You might do better to get an audio interface with more than 2 inputs?

    trying to launch photoshop cs3 on a mac running OS10.6.8 i keep getting the error message: Licensing for this product has stopped working  you cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT adminstrator or Adobe customer support for help
    I already Uninstalled and reinstalled the product and it still does not work.

    Hi,
    Try to uninstall the software again and you have to manually
    Delete the following folders:
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/caps
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/backup
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/FLEXnet Publisher/
    Go to Applications-->Utilities-->Disk Utility, Open it and Select the MAC HD and then click on Repair permissions.
    After that try to run the cleaner tool as mentioned by kglad.
    Restart machine and then try to install again.
    *** Make sure , you only delete these folders if there is no other adobe applications installed on the machine. As if you have any other Adobe application of the suite ( not free applications ) then it will be a problem.

  • Hey i dont have a mobile phone i have toshiba "laptop" to say this way and i cannot install firefox becuase this laptop runs android and cannot install linux version...can u help me?Also i cant install adobe flash player...Any advices??

    Hey I have a toshiba laptop and I cannot install firefox because the laptop runs android and there's only version for linux...and if u can tell me how to install adobe flash player too...Any advices??

    This is a known problem, but we don't have a solution for it. If your device has the Toshiba Market app, you might be able to download a (possibly outdated) version of Firefox from there.

  • Can't seem to sync my iphone 4 running ios 7 with itunes 10.6 running on a mac running osx 10.5.8 What can I do to fix this?

    can't seem to sync my iphone 4 running ios 7 with itunes 10.6 running on a mac running osx 10.5.8 What can I do to fix this? Is there an itunes update? or How can I return to the previous ios?

    To sync an iOS 7 device you need to be running iTunes 11.1.1; iTunes 10.6 is way too old and won't work. You need to install iTunes 11.1.1, but to do that you need to be running at least Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    So you need to do the following:
    1. Upgrade your Mac to at least OS X 10.6.8 (later preferably, but 10.6.8 at the miniumum).
        a. Check first to see if your model Mac can be upgraded, check that it has enough RAM and so forth (2GB at the least, more if possible).
        b. If you can't upgrade your Mac, or don't want to, then you will have to buy a new Mac with the latest version of OS X (currently 10.8.5, soon to become 10.9) and iTunes 11.1.1
    2. Install iTunes 11.1.1 on your newly upgraded Mac.
    3. Sync your iOS 7 iPhone with iTunes.

  • How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?

    How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?

    No, nothing will prevent the computer from going to sleep when you close its display except third-party hacks that are designed to do exactly that. I strongly advise against using any of those, as they may interfere with successful entry into clamshell mode (and they carry other downside risks as well). Just wait until the computer is asleep (with its sleep light pulsing), then press any key on the keyboard. It sounds as though your setup is working as it's designed to do.

  • Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified. Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!

    Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified.
    Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!
    So my options are:
    Create a new Apple ID, use that and lose all the apps I've purhcased with it (a fairly substantial amount)
    Somehow Migrate these purchases over to a new Apple ID
    Apple let me change the primary ID for the account
    Anyone else ran into this before?
    I've tried accessing the mail through a mail application using the correct server information, and trying both the old 6 character password and the one I had to change it too after they updated the security guidelines - neither work.
    Help would be greatly appreciated as I can see more services down the line not working without the address being verified!

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You should not need to verify the old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
