Can Snow Leopard Work Run On Apple iBook G4?

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

I’m deciding whether to upgrade my old Ibook G4 or just sell it. It still runs great but I was just wondering if Snow Leopard is compatible with it?

Thanks.

Snow Leopard will only run on Intel chip Macs. Your iBook is a PPC Chip Mac. Leopard is as high as you can go.

Snow Leopard doesn’t offer any new features over Leopard, just a revamped OS the runs better on the Intel machines.

I want to wipe everything from my iBook G4 want are some simple ways to do it?

Monday, March 29th, 2010

Im giving my Ibook G4 to my neighbor and need everything gone he said he’ll do all the reinstalling. I heard about holding a big magnet to the hard drive does that realy work and what kind of damage does it do. if you know of any other simple ways please tell me and please explain how to do them because i am not very good with computer

A big Magnet damaged the hard drive and you will not be able to use it again,best way is to format it ,if you want to be safe format it few times,then reinstall new OS on it,some people go further and format it in windows format too like NTFS ,BUT believe me once or twice format makes all your hard drive to be clean ,even if you format it once take at least 100 hours and special software and also lots of money to retract anything from your hard drive…
