PowerPC:: How To Get A Recovery Disk For Apple Ibook G4 Jul 1, 2008 I just got an apple ibook g4 from a pawn shop. But it did not come with a recovery disk.
The master password is still on there and I don't know it. What should I do? Who ever had it before me did not clear everything off of it.

There were no signs of the display going bad, it's just went. Am I able to boot the iBook via Target Disk Mode on my PowerBook and run the iBook Hardware Test CD on it? Also, can I reboot my PowerBook and choose the iBook as the startup volume?

I know how to do Target Disk Mode but the latter I'm not sure about. Sep 19, 2008 I am changin my iBook G4s hard drive. I am referring to a well written guide published on [URL]. But I am stuck on a step.
For removing the front panel, there is screw hidden under a magnet. Somehow I can not remove that magnet. I have tried using L end keys, screw drivers, nose pliers and even a powerful magnet. This disk would not come out! Jan 25, 2007 I have a few year old iBOOK G4 with the glowing apple on the back of the screen much like, if not the same as, the newer Macbooks. I have seen some pictures of people modding the lit apple on the back to a color of their choice.
I was wondering if anyone has any ideas, links, or 'how-to's' on this subject. Oct 5, 2008 I'm looking to upgrade to a better mac book and I was just wondering if the apple store or apple retailers (specifically my mac dealer) would allow me to trade-in my ibook g4 for a discounted price on a new mac? I've searched the forums and apple site, but I can't find any information about this, and I'm not really comfortable selling it on ebay!
Aug 13, 2006 The last time I tried to insert a disk it would not go in, something (not a disk) was stopping it once it had traveled about half way in. I then noticed that when waking from sleep or turning on, the normal noise was very different, cut short, and sounded like it was struggling against something. I believe the mechanism of the drive has somehow failed. Does anyone have any solutions? It is a iBook G4 1.33GHz with 1.25GB ram installed if that helps. Dec 11, 2006 I'm trying to zero the data on an iBook hard drive before selling it. When I connect it to my Powermac via firewire in Target Disk Mode, it shuts down completely about 30 minutes into the proceedure (and yes, the power adapter is connected).
Back up before updating Before you perform a major operation like installing a new OS, you should always perform a system backup to protect your data. Should the installation go awry, you don't want to lose important documents along with your photo and music libraries. Thankfully, Macs include a tool that make backups easy: Time Machine. Kings prep for mac.
