OK so i decided to give Macs a shot and i bought an iBook on eBay....it looks nice....it seems to work...but lets get into my problems(i'm good with computer but i've never used a mac,but am profficient in linux)
so this iBook has 10.1.....my friend lent me 10.2 to install...and i bought 10.3 online and its coming in the mail...
First off the seller never gave me admin password. so that's most likely the problem but,
i cant even use the cd-rw/dvd it opens and sounds like it spins when i put it in ...but i cant find it on the computer, i dont know if there's a mounting command on 10.1(i'm assuming there is cause its unix)
i cant get into utilities it says" The application Disk Utility has enexpedtedly quit"
all i want is to be able to boot from the CD...OR format my harddrive OR somehow get admin privlages to do what i want
(i tried restarting and holding down "c" and it didnt work)
pleeez help...
