Re: How to update Apple software on tangerine iMac now at OS X 10.4.11
I don't think you can use the Macbook to connect to the internet. I have tried it my iMac 333 and it would not connect like that no matter which OS it was running. My suggestion would be to buy an AirPort card (around $25-$35 on eBay) and use a WiFi network so it would use less cables and would be simpler to work with. Also, the best OS I think would be 10.2. It runs great on my iMac and it only has 160 MB of RAM.

Re: How to update Apple software on tangerine iMac now at OS X 10.4.11
I've done it as well, even from OSX to OS9. OS 9 is a little tricky to get to see the internet; in the TCP/IP preference, set it to DHCP, connect through Ethernet (if that is an option...) and it should connect. Also, check the AppleTalk pane to make sure it's not using Ethernet. File sharing from OSX to OS 9 is another hassle in itself. -Elliott I don't think you can use the Macbook to connect to the internet.

How to update Apple software on tangerine iMac now at OS X 10.4.11
Hi, I'm hoping to prepare this machine for some of my grandchildren to use for homework and educational games.I'm trying to figure the easiest way to update Apple's software on this machine, which has 192 MB of RAM on a 400MHz CPU. I only have a wireless signal at my location, and not a way to connect this machine to the internet via a dial-up telephone-line-based internet connection or account using the iMac's internal 56KB/s modem.One way might be to hook up my MacBook late 2009 2.26MHz to the iMac via an Ethernet cable, and use the MacBook to connect the iMac to the internet. I don't know if this is a workable approach, and I don't know how to do it.Or, if I knew what updaters I need for OS 10.4.11, Safari, Mail, iTunes, I would be able to download them to my MacBook, and then copy them to a USB Flash Drive to transfer them to the iMac. Once on the iMac's hard drive I'd then be able to run them.Of course, I don't know whether a combined updater would be feasible for this task, or individual updaters. I also don't know what order I'd have to follow to install them each properly. -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: How to update Apple software on tangerine iMac now at OS X 10.4.11
Hi, This iMac is going to struggle if you install OS X 10.4 and then upgrade it to 10.4.11. It is not the upgrade that is the issue it is the G3 400MHz processor. This Mac would run very well with OS 9.2 for home work and educational games. If you choose to go with OS X 10.4, You need more RAM than 192MB. I suggest 512MB at a minimum for OS X 10.4.

Re: How to update Apple software on tangerine iMac now at OS X 10.4.11
Hi Stanton, Glad you're enjoying your grandchildren! There are actually several workarounds for that. 1) You could share your MacBook's connection with an ethernet cable, which is not hard to set up at all. The instructions are in your Mac's help section. 2) Depending on how far is the router from the computer, you could use a long ethernet cable to connect both of them. 3) You could get a USB wireless adapter. They are inexpensive and easy to find these days. The LEM list and eBay are two good sources. It won't be very fast, since it's limited by the USB 1.1 interface, but that iMac is not exactly a speed demon, anyway. 4) If you want to keep the iMac offline (understandable, since it's meant for children), you can simply look for the updates in Apple's website, burn them to a CD, and then install them in order. They are all here: http://www.apple.com/support/tiger/ Whichever way you choose to go, I'm with Bob --you'll need more memory. As a habit, I max out my computers' RAM as soon as I get them, or at least get as much RAM as I can afford. You'll be surprised how much aggravation you'll save yourself in the long run. Oh, and whatever you do --get them Myst. :-) Best of luck, Felix -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
