[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 942951, member: 42497"] G'day and welcome to the forums. What install discs do you have for the iBook? If you have or can buy Tiger OS X.4 black coloured full retail install DVD, that is the way to go. Pop your disc into the drive and reboot, holding down 'C' after the chimes. Go to Utilities in the Menu Bar after booting, select Disk Utility and run Repair Disk, and if all is well hit Erase. Then format Mac OS Extended (Journalled) and go back to the Installer and let it run. Connect to the net and update your OS. Updates are free from Apple, OS upgrades alas you have to purchase. Here are the specs for the iBook G4 1.42GHz processor which is as high as the G4 went. Note you can install up to 1.5GB memory which will help with OS X:- [url]http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/stats/ibook_g4_1.42_14.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
