Will Tiger OS 10.4.6 work on my Powerbook G4

Thinking about buying the latest OS, but want to make sure it works well and no problems with my Powerbook G4. Has anyone had any problems with it?

Some things to consider with 10.4: It is more demanding of RAM and hard disk space requirements. If you only have 256 MB of RAM, at least double it. Secondly, don't go overboard on dashboard widgets. They eat up a lot of RAM. And let Spotlight finish its indexing before managing files. I've written this FAQ on upgrading which should help you:

1st Gen Intel IMac - Will Tiger to Snow Leopard upgrade work?

My IMac dates from late 2006 & was purchased when Apple first started selling the Intel Dual Core machines. Here's my specs:
Model Identifier:    iMac4,1
Processor Name:    Intel Core Duo
Processor Speed:    2 GHz
Number Of Processors:    1
Total Number Of Cores:    2
L2 Cache (per processor):    2 MB
Memory:    2 GB
Bus Speed:    667 MHz
Graphics card is an ATI Radeon X1600
Current Tiger version is 10.4.11
Disk space not an issue, have > 177 GB available
Snow Leopard supposedly requires only 1 MB of RAM, but I've seen other discussions with commenters recommending 2 MB minimum (kinda took me back to my PC days..."look at the specs on the Microsoft package and double them"). I haven't opened the Snow Leopard package yet, so I can still return it if necessary. So what do the community's experts think...will I be able to do the upgrade without any problems, or am I setting myself up for a world of pain? Thanks in advance to all!

Yes you can, as the great Kappy guy sez, but the Core Duo only supports 32 bit mode, not 64 bit mode. & 10.6.x is as far as you'll ever be able to upgrade it.
Do max the RAM out if it isn't already...

Will OS 9.0 or Classic Work on a PowerBook 17 inch

I need to run OS 9.0 applications, and have an opportunity to purchase a 17" PowerBook G4.
Can I partition the disc and install OS 9.0 on the partition, and boot into OS 9.0?
If not, can I install Classic on OS 10.4.7?

In addition, you can only get Mac OS 9 from the restore disks which came with your 17" Powerbook. See this article to find out which one came with it and how to install it:

Tiger OS X disc from G5 PowerPC work on my Powerbook G4

I hope not to have to pay for another upgrade.
2nd ?, If I upgrade to Leopard will I be able to use on both PowerPC and Powerbook or do i need to upgrade both at double cost?
Thanks in advance for you help.

Tiger OS X disc from G5 PowerPC work on my Powerbook G4
No.
If I upgrade to Leopard will I be able to use on both PowerPC and Powerbook or do i need to upgrade both at double cost?
If both the computers are in your house, purchase the Family Pack, which is cheaper than two separate copies.

Will Tiger run well on my Powerbook G4?

Hi everyone. My 12" Powerbook G4 has the 867 Mhz processor, and an additional 1GB of RAM installed, which brings the total to either 1.25 Gb or 1.5 Gb (I can't recall at the moment, and my laptop is not with me at work today). It also has the built-in Firewire, DVD-rom, and everything else. It was purchased almost 3 years ago now, and was shipped running Jaguar. Although I am currently running Jaguar at the moment, that is due to a recent wipe of my system that was previously running Panther, of which I have a full install DVD currently being shipped to me (Panther ran great prior to the wipe).
I know that this means my laptop passes Apple's stated system requirements, but I want to know if it passes system requirements in reality. If the new features in Tiger are more processor/memory intensive, I'd rather stick with Panther and continue using a smoothly running OS than upgrading and having to deal with sluggishness. However, if Tiger would perform well on my current system, I'd prefer to run the latest version of everything.
So, any insight will be greatly appreciated! Thank you all.
Powerbook G4 12" 867 Mhz Mac OS X (10.2.x) 1.25/1.5Gb(?) RAM, OS v10.2.8

I have Tiger running fine on a G3 400MHz Pismo laptop with 384MB RAM.
Yours will run excellent on Tiger. You won't notice any operational/speed differences between Panther & Tiger.
 Cheers, Tom

Will Office Web Apps Server 2013 work with SharePoint 2013 sites hosted in SP2010 compatibility mode?

We are planning a upgrade of a SP2010 farm to 2013. There has been a bit of customization so we wish to run the old sites on the new SP2013 platform in SP2010 compatibility mode.
So my question is will Office Web Apps Server 2013 work with the old sites hosted in compatibility mode?
I found a similar query from March 2014 found here
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/93101/office-web-apps-2010-running-on-sharepoint-2013-for-compatibility-mode-sites/116281#116281
Has there been an update released to resolve this
Cheers D

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you need to know whether Office Web Apps 2013 is working with SharePoint 2013 sites which is in SharePoint 2010 compatibility mode.
For my test, Office Web Apps 2013 with SharePoint 2013 sites which is in SharePoint 2010 compatibility mode is working fine.
Thanks,
Eric

Will this VGA to DVI adapter work on Mac Mini 2006

This is a simple question which ssomeone should be able to answet
will this DVI to VGA adapter work on a Mac Mini 2006
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000067SOH/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1419898227&sr=8-3&dp Pl=1&dpID=41daTmtKEEL&ref=plSrch&pi=AC_SY200_QL40

Mini display to VGA adapters. Will older ones/non-Apple ones work?

(MacBook Pro 17", 2 years old)
What's the 411 on mini display-to-VGA adapters? I'm not particularly thrilled about the prospect of paying $30 from Apple. Will the older "roundy" style adapters work just as well? Ebay is flooded with 'em for cheap. What about the aftermarket ones? Or are Apple's adapters proprietary (I wouldn't put it past them if theirs were!)?
Thanks-

Hello,
I have a weird problem with my Macbook pro 13" bought in sep 09. I have connected my Samsung HDTV 720p via mini display of Macbook pro 13 to DVI adapter n thn DVI to HDMI cable to HDMI port of TV.
When the display cable is unplugged, i am able to surf the internet and watch videos, as soon as I connect the mini display port to macbook pro, iternet freezes.
I even tried to move my macbook far away from the HDTV, but it never helped.
I noticed, macbook was connected to wifi in this situation but internet was not working, even i tried to ping my Netgear wifi router, it could not ping. and turned off the Airport and again turned it on (while the Display cable was connected to HDTV), it was not accepting password for my wifi router.
I dont know what is the problem, i tried all I knew to solve but still helpless.
Anybody please help me get this resolved.

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data.

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

I have an iPhone 4 on IOS5. I signed up for itunes match. After everything uploaded to the cloud, my songs are messed up. I'll select a song and the title will show with the right art work but a different song will start playing. Anyone have a solution?

I have an iPhone 4 on IOS5. I signed up for itunes match. After everything uploaded to the cloud, my songs are messed up. I'll select a song and the title will show with the right art work but a different song will start playing. Some songs won't play at all even though they do appear in the itunes store. The artwork almost always shows u blank until you turn it to landscape then it will appear. Anyone know what's going on?

I have found that scrolling through the album list (past albums without art) triggers the progress wheel next to the wifi symbol. You can scroll quickly through the whole collection and then wait! Artwork will appear gradually...
However, repeat visits to the Music App might initially show no artwork again, but it might spontaneously appear more quickly this time. The bad news is that the whole Music App is now sluggish as ****...

I just purchased a MacBookPro after having a MacBook. I have ILife, IWorks and Office for Mac. How do I get those programs on to my MacBook Pro? I will still use my MacBook at work so I need those programs to remain on it as well.

You need a Firewire cable to run between the two Macs. Using Utility>Migration Assistant running on your new MacBook Pro, transfer what you want (with all the preferences and such) from your MacBook to your MBP. Here's more info from Apple.
You might have an issue with the Serial number for Office, but hopefully you have that around.
Hope this helps.

I have been working on movies in iMovie but after downloading dropbox and exporting iMovies as large files I can no longer open up imovie on the computer. If I download imovie again, will I have lost all my work ?

Yesterday I was working in imovie. I exported the files as both Quicktime movies and as large files which I then placed in a Dropbox account. Subsequently, perhaps because the files were so large, I have been unable to open the imovie programme. The menu appears but nothing else happens. If I download the software again will I loose all my previous work ? Has anyone any suggestions ?
Thanks.

Hi Ijergen,
Yes you can use AirPrint as long as the printer is on the same network as the iPad.

When I get a phone call or text message it will not make the sound. Just vibrate. But the switch is on normal. When I change it to vibrate the volume thing will not show. Nor will my up volume up key work. Is there any way to fix it?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Will Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Standard Work With Adobe Reader 8.2.4?

Hello,
I have a question, but haven't found an answer to this yet.
Can anyone tell me please: Will Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Standard work with Adobe Reader 8.2.4?
I had Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard on my computer & it was working with Adobe Reader 8, but don't remember what the version it was.
I was using Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard to scan very old family pictures & documents & I realize that this version of Acrobat is outdated.
To make a long story short, my computer had crashed, so we built another computer & just replaced the hard drive. When I went to Adobe, I had to download the newer version of Reader 9.0 & it didn't work with Acrobat 6.0., so I removed Adobe Reader 9 & I found Adobe Reader 8.0 & have downloaded the patches, so now I have Adobe Reader 8.2.4 back on board.
Thank you.

Adobe doesn't recommend any version of Reader with any version of Acrobat on Windows. It will cause problems. It just is a matter of how and when. The problem has to do with shared resources causing conflicts. If you have Acrobat 8, you can update it to Acrobat 8.2.4. You must apply the updates sequentially.
