i just bought a logitech quickcam zoom that i’ve used with skype messenger fine yesterday and then later and today, the video will not show up. sometimes its a totally black screen but most of the time it’s nothing. i’ve reinstalled software, restarted skype and my computer, played with all the video settings. i have a mac ibook G4. i just dont get why it worked before but wont work now when im doing everything the same!! HELP ME PLEASE!

Ok, here’s the deelio, my iBook has nothing saying about system preferences like it should. I had an iBook last year, and when i clicked the apple in the left corners, it says: About this Mac, Software Update…, Mac OS X Software…, Dock, Location, Recent Items, Force Quit…, Sleep, Restart…, Shut Down…, and Log Out. Where’s the system preferences?!?! HELP!

my ibook g4 say “unable to find driver for this platform” wat do i do?

i.e. lock it …so u need a password to see it

I recently put a new hard drive in my G4 Ibook.
Now I go to install MAc OS 10.4 by inserting the CD and holding down the “C” key upon start up.
The apple comes up however shortly after this I get a “Kernel Panic” and the screen says something about Power book 6.5 and driver error of some sort.
What should I do???
Please help! Thanks!!!
It is a MacBook CD that was my sisters, it’s also scratched. I was finguring that is the problem but I wasn’t sure.
I got my guide to take the computer apart from Ifixit and I don’t think the reassembly is the problem.

The hard drive was a brand new SEALED 80 GB Hitachi/ IBM travelstar for a G4 Ibook.

I am going to purchase system software tomorrow and hopefully that will help.
No, I have not partitioned the hard drive I didn’t think I would have to considering it was brand new.
