ÜberFly Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 So my wife's iBook pooched out (logic board needs to be replaced but that part is apparently obsolete so cannot get the thing repaired) so we ca no longer get power to the computer and therefore cannot charge the battery (which is only holding a charge for about 15 minutes)... Anyone out there have a iBook G4 that we can borrow the (charged) battery from so that we can back-up the hard drive (to which I should have done a while ago!) prior to getting a new MacBook Pro?! Please let me know. Thanks, Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrinhurst Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Peter, Could you not bring directly to Apple and have them do that for you? I am sure they would be more than happy to help, especially if you are planning on getting a MacBook Pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ÜberFly Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 If it comes to that, but we need to get to a particular file at this point in time (not super critical)... Also, not sure when we will be getting a new one as macBook Pros will go out of production in the next little while (6 months or so) so might want to wait until whatever the latest and greatest is that will replace them...

midgetwaiter Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 You are better off to pull the drive and use a USB connector to copy everything elsewhere. I know this is a couple weeks old but I'd be glad to pull the drive for you if you still need that drive. Takes about 20 minutes on that model, it's really in a bad spot. http://www.sterpin.net/uk/ddibookg4uk.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
