Can I use my installation disks came with ibook g4, use on imac g3 to upgrade it from 10.2 to 10.3 ?

I think the bundled install discs started becoming model dependent with 10.3, eg. ibook installer only works on that model of ibook etc. If you've got a retail copy of 10.3 it should be fine.

Go to Majorgeeks.com and look for your upgrade program and download it for free. I can promise that you will find your answer there.

go to options or tools ... if its not there ... download the thing off apple ... then you know for sure if you have the newest version ... it will delete the old and install the new ... without losing your files and settings

See if you can upgrade to a later version. Later versions may support your drive.

Download and install this. It will open the .dmg file. If you already have Stuffit just double click to open iSquint.\nhttp://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/182

It will still run the older copies of Microsoft office that were released for Mac. Also, if you have installed Bootcamp and a copy of Windows then you can pretty much run anything on it. More info at: http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/

Yes, it's possible.  Simply go into the Reader application, and select the Upgrade option (should be under one of the tabs on the top...possible Tools?). \n\nDoing this will only upgrade the READER application, and not the full version.

No. The installed update on your computer would automatically apply to your older version and replace it, I think.

Boot the Mac OS CD, and copy off anythng you really need.  Then, reboot and re-install the OS.

The hardware itself should work for both but I have seen hard drives that said MAC formatted on it (From a really old Mac) Just make sure it is formatted to Windows compatible (Fat32 or NTFS)and it should work.

Absolutely Not!!! I have had an IBook for about 4 years now and have had no problems. I still have my PC but never use it. Mac's are way easier to use - rarely have the same problems as PC's and if you have any problems Apple has incredible service. What I am hearing about their latest releases are awesome. I'd say take the leap - never heard anyone regret it.

Well, you can't, I'm not a Mac user but I'm pretty sure that you can't purchase OSX 10.2 anymore.  The latest version is OSX 10.4 Tiger.  I'm going to say that you'll have to buy Tiger and reformat your computer.  I don't know if you can upgrade from 10.1.5 to Tiger or not but I'm pretty sure you can't.\n\nWhether or not you can run Tiger also depends on your system specs which requires you to have a PowerPC G3, G4 or G5 processor at 600MHz or faster and 256MB of memory and a DVD drive.

Hi, if you go to the OpenOffice site you can download and install the mac verison.   OpenOffice is 'open source' software that provides all the funcions of MS Office and support all the same file formats that Office supports.  You can find complete information here: http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/\n\nGood Luck

well, if you are in fact going to buy the imac, then you'd be just fine with the 1.5 core solo.  it's still faster than the G4, which I thought was already a fast computer.  If you plan on using iLife though, and you want to burn to DVD's with iDVD, just be sure to upgrade to the superdrive.  The 1.5 solo doesn't come standard with one.

Hi there...it's not too difficult to do the installation yourself.  Here's the step-by-step instructions on how to do the installation: \n12" model:\nhttp://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac/iBook-G3-12-Inch/Optical-Drive\n14" model:\nhttp://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac/iBook-G3-14-Inch/Optical-Drive\n\nYou can purchase and upgrade to Tiger, however you'll need much more RAM and the maximum for iBook G3's 600Mhz is 640MB or it will run painfully slow your iBook.\n\n\niBook G3/600 Combo Drive: http://www.pchub.com/uph/laptop/24-15534-1457/Internal_DVDCDRW_Combo_Apple_IBook_M8413_G3_60014.html
