Hi There,
I hope you can help. I recently purchased an ibook g4 off of ebay. I went to run the software updates for iTunes 8.1 and Quicktime 7 that it told me to do. Afterwards its asked for a restart...once I did that...it started up to the grey screen, apple logo and a spinning wheel showing that its reading/loading...but never leaves that screen. ever.
I've tried all of Macs suggestions other than re-installing the 10.4 Tiger software the machine came with. Obviously I don't ahve that disc...as it wasn't part of the auction I won. I was planning on buying and upgrading to Leopard anywayu....my question is. If I do that, and try to boot from the Cd. will this fix the situation? Will it read that its the upgraded version and work properly ...and finally will it get rid of the iLife, iWork, iMovie, etc...that came with the machine?
please....any thing will help.
