Mac Help! Serious! :(( will give cookies and tell santa you been a good boy/girl :)

[Marsh_Davies]

I bought Mac, left it on a shelf for AGES then after a bit got interested in fixing it and using it, I found it had no OS, so I DLed one (shshshs) then I found that apple is retarded and wont Verbatim DVD-R discs, and when I tried to reset the powerbook G4, it didnt help, nothing has :(, anyway so I bought a mac os disc, me being a PC guy didnt really think, I just bought and foundI had bought a cd that after looking online is set to a specific computer, although the disc is for a powerbook G4, its not specific enough for the disc to install and so I'm sat here with a unusable laptop, 2 retarded and even more unusable discs and a sad face. I did manage to erase my hard drive on the mac when it booted up, it gave me limited access to the computer like Abuntu does, and I erased the HD, that however probably made it worse because now all I can do is do the disc, get into the freeware menu, the option menu (option key on boot up) and get an annoying flashing folder icon which has a question mark also flashing which changes to a weird happy face which reminds me of the guy from batman the dark knight... PLEASE HELP! :(

Search for a guide and follow the instruction, hope it might helps you with anything. To be honest, I'm still not able to understand what exactly you wanted to ask or know. Also, we can tell you little bit about it, nothing else, as it's not related to Game or Server related question. Contact Apple - Support for further guides and instructions.
Oh, and apart from that if your laptop is fucked up by your own hands, then you should try to get it fix by visiting an electronic shops. As you yourself admitted that you've spoiled most of the things in it. Buy some good discs and then install the game.

*Can't goto a apple shop because there isn't a apple store near me, they are all in London.

*Can't goto a computer shop because they charge an arm and a leg.

*I have torrented discs so I can't really bring those along and ask how to boot them.

- I need to be told how I can fix this stupid flashing folder with a question mark then the apple smiley face on the laptop.
I have tried "reset-all" in the freeware menu.

- I need to be told how to correctly burn the stuff from the DMG or the actual DMG onto the disc in such a way that makes the laptop pick it up.

- I have looked all over the web, posted copies of this request on every game site I go on, Erepublik, 5 minecraft servers, 2 SA-MP servers. And I have of course looked on the apple website.

Just contact them using apple forums, not saying you to go to an apple store.

[Marsh_Davies]

McRoyal, this isn't a problem with GTASA, I'm using a windows (thank god for simplicity) to talk on here and play GTASA, I just don't want to have wasted nearly a grand trying to fix my powerbook G4.

SIMPLES:

HP laptop, Windows 7 <- Working fine.
Apple Powerbook G4, God knows what its running... <- Not working and is what I'm talking about in the post.

[Marsh_Davies]

how do I contact them? and say what?

Me>" Hello, i need help with a apple powerbook G4 I bought at a auction."
Mr.Bob working for apple>" Ok sir, whats your problem?"
Me>*says everything I told you lot on this forum*
Mr.Bob>"Sir if you torrented our software, that's illegal and I should call the police"
*end of conversation*

You think it's funny? Even though this question is not related to game or server, but still we're trying to help you, instead of giving some positive response you're making fun of it. So let me make you quite clear, also take this as a warning, any absurd comment/post will force me to close this thread without any further prior notice.

Can't goto a apple shop because there isn't a apple store near me, they are all in London.

Get something better then, if you can't even contact the apple store in /any/ way. No matter, if its too much away from you.

*Can't goto a computer shop because they charge an arm and a leg.

We can't do anything with it.

*I have torrented discs so I can't really bring those along and ask how to boot them.

Buy an original version.
