I have an Ibook G4 Laptop — I cannot find a control panel where I can uninstall Skype. I have looked under File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Window & Help. I am using Firefox. I made a mistake when installing Skype and I can neither uninstall it or correct it — I cannot even get past the sign in because they do not recognize my e-mail —— frustrating.

I’ve looked everywhere for a small hole to stick a pin in, and it’s not there.

I have a MAC Ibook G4 Laptop with a stuck CD in it. I can’t take it apart and it won’t even turn on. I don’t have enough money to get it looked at.. is there any other way?

I want an Ibook g4 but is it to outdated to run microsoft programs?

Microsoft Office should run for Macintosh’s but make sure you get the one for mac.

I have an Xbox 360 Arcade with a wireless controller, 2 games (midnight club LA and forza 2 motorsport), and all cables and a memory card.

Someone wants to trade for an Ibook G4 1.33GHz 512mb of ram
Mac OS X 10.3.

Is this trade worth it?

no, keep the 360.

I am charging my Ibook and I turn it on. The green light appears and i hear it turn on but there is no screen it is still black. what do i do? do i leave alone for a while? help!
Ivan, thanks for your suggestion. I tried to hold down the keys, but never got a white screen.

Any other recommendations?

Try clearing the N-Vram. Do these steps.

Make sure the computer is off.
Turn on and hold the apple key, option key, and the O and F keys. (Wait until you see a white screen)
Then type reset n-vram then press enter. Then type reset-all and press enter.
The computer will restart that should do it.

I’ve had my Apple Ibook for 4 and a half years. It’s slowing down. If I change the RAM from its current 512MB to 1 gig and buy a new battery and recharging cable, it will cost nearly $500! Should I retire this machine and get a new MacBook? The replacement parts for the iBook are not easy to come by in the Philippines.

yes get the white macbook, unless you like the aluminum better

white ($999)

2.0 Ghz Core 2 Duo
2GB DDR2 RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 9400M
120 GB HDD

Is it possible to clone a harddrive from a imac desktop to a Ibook Laptop?

anything is possible…

I want to buy a laptop, bit i don’t much difference in between them. I know Ibook’s price is lower then iMac’s. That’s pretty much all… Help please!!!!!!

Well the most obvious difference is that the iMac is a desktop computer and the iBook (although old and out of production since 2005) is a Laptop which is why the price is MUCH lower. The current MacBooks start at $999 for the previous gen white plastic one and go up to $1299 for the latest unibody aluminuim MacBook (starting price)

I would suggest the $999 MacBook – why? Its still current, the iBook isn’t.

The current iMac is a slim all in one desktop computer

Macs run Microsoft Office:mac
or
iWork08 from Apple which works with MS office
http://www.apple.com/iwork/

All Macs can also run Windows with Bootcamp, VMware or Parallels which contrary to some opinions DOESN’T run Windows slowly.

You can also develop apps for the Mac or iPhone with the iPhone SDK
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/program/

Or you can download OpenOffice3.0 which is native to Mac and FREE
- it works with MS Office too.

All Macs come with iLife08

PhotoBooth and Garage Band and Safari web browser.
There is also HEAPs of FREE stuff for Mac

Im trying to reset a password on an Ibook, the os is mac os 9.1. Is it possible to reset the password without the original os disk?

Any disk with system software on it that you can start up from would work. If you have an old copy of Norton’s etc. If not, buy a copy on eBay, just make sure it is not computer specific.

The problem is that I’m selling my old Apple Ibook online and I can’t erase the hardrive because it won’t turn on. If the person that I sell it to ends up fixing it, I don’t want them finding my files. What can I do?

Is the hard-drive broken?
If not, you should get the hard drive out try to find a computer to put it in, put it in the other computer, boot up, erase the files, put it back in your computer.

Or

Bring it to a computer shop so they can clear it.

If your computer won’t turn on you can’t really clear the hard drive. Also the problem may lie in the hard drive itself.
