my elementary school had a ton of these. this brings back memories of spinning beach balls and falling behind because my computer wouldn't load anything... ever
I loved this! Makes me miss using my old iBook. I still have it but it's still in pieces and needs a drive. Might have to play with it some! I remember using it with linux and in college as a wifi router and DVD player. This was 2017!
You could just use a real ssd. You said that the ssd is the same size, however if you remove the casing you would find out it’s half filled with air and that it could easily fit together with an adapter into a 2.5 inch hard drive bay.
Hello! I have bought a Notebook-Digital Memory Card SD/SDHC/SDXC/MMC to IDE, 44 Pin Male Adapter, SD 2.5 Converter, Hard Drive Adapter Card, 3.0 inches, a 512G Micro SD Lenovo pro plus xc A2 and Lenovo 256G thinkplus pro plus xc A2 and by installing it in the connector of my iBook G4, like yours, from the same year, detects the micro SD, but when I want to format them and/or do the partitioning for Mac and use it as HD, the action bar does not advance me (formatting Mac OS with registration or partitioned for Mac)"?", I do not understand. Could you tell me which adapter you use?I have to use a micro sd like yours?thank you and sorry for the inconvenience,I look forward to your reply,thank you and take care of yourself,XAO!
I used a msata ssd on miniide adapter and is not as fast as you beleive…. This kind of mod only works fine when you open a heavy game but when you start the ibook not so well…
I have one of these with 768 MB RAM. I want to upgrade it to 1 GB ram and a big SSD or sd card, but, man, the procedure for doing that on these Apples is insane! Typical PC laptop you have a couple screws and a panel to remove, pop out the old RAM chip pop in a new one, good to go. For right now, I'm going to deal with the RAM and HDD it has, but at some point I'm going to tackle taking it apart and upgrading it. 🙂 You might want to upgrade the OS....I think these things would actually run FreeBSD better. Most linux distros have dropped support for PowerPC G4 but FreeBSD still supports it. You should be able to dual boot using OpenFirmware. The MacOS I have on mine is 10.4.11....that's what previous owner put on it (I got it from ebay). I would suggest using that or 10.5, I hear 10.5 actually runs faster on PowerPC G4. The only downside that I know of is that it means you can't run older 68k Mac software on it. (well there might be another emulator you can use for that, but there isn't one built into 10.5.) 🙂
that ibook looks really nice i wish i had but my parents dont wanna spend 50 bucks for a good condition since its e waste but i wanna play with it and try to install a very old version of minecraft alpha on it
Upgrading from a hard drive to sdcard was the second best thing I've ever done to my Dell Inspiron 700m. The first was the ram upgrade, and the third the wlan card upgrade.
Wow you can play Minecraft? Sure it's a super old version and sure it's super laggy, but if you haven't seen Minecraft in too long and you just NEED to play then it's better than nothing!
Nice intro.
It’s a clone of your Intro XDD
But yeah it’s a good intro too
Blud copied your legendary intro
The translucent keyboard was from a iBook G3 snow. Same looking as a iBook G4 ... Identical only for the side and the keyboard.

My IBook lasted forever, man.
I finally replaced it in 2015, lmao.
Alright, you've convinced me.

09:12 I got a 2006 white MacBook with the exact same display issue

The backlight cable on these gets pinched in the hinge easily causing that connection issue. RDKL explained it in his iBook G3 14" video.
You need to put a hard drive clicker in there! Then it will be authentic. My HDD in mine still works but I'm still going to replace it.
I wonder if there is a way to adapt m.2 drive to IDE in that space...
My iBook G4 all those years ago, shipped with MacOS X Tiger not Panther. It also included an upgrade disc for Leopard. I loved that machine.
That intro tho. Very cool it can run minecraft considering these were the lowest end G4s I think. Now try using one as your daily driver :3

I.. didnt think of that. thanks :3
@@WindowsG well if you want the ultimate iBook G4 you can always disassemble it again xD

Hi,

I've been waiting for your video all week ❤

Good video, but wouldn't an msata ssd in a caddy be a better option?
The boot up time is definitely faster that the Computers at my school
Where can I find the adapter at 1:35?
Etsy and EBay and amazon

Ram replacement is easy, you pop up the keyboard and undo the wifi card tray. The hard drive is a pain in the ass

hey i don't remember writing this comment
To this day the ibook g4 is my favorite laptop form factor/design. Modern internals same design I would buy it in a heartbeat.
the most efficient unboxing ive ever seen
ive been meaning to fix my computer please help me
Unsupported Mac OS 9 in a future video??
Hmmm..
im not a fan of using SD cards as hd's. sure they make some that are intended for OS use but its still slower than a sata M.2 or direct SATA ssd
Wow you can play Minecraft?
Sure it's a super old version and sure it's super laggy, but if you haven't seen Minecraft in too long and you just NEED to play then it's better than nothing!
Hey, there are IDE SSDS now
mm yes I think you should un blur the artist >:3
Holy moly that pc is a gaming pc!
Umm...you could have tried this with one of the infinitely easier to upgrade G3 iBooks...
G4 more plentiful and interesting imo.
Might've bought this one for a very special project (coming soon) :3
nixboox, the G3s don't have 100 screws or whatever? I thought both were like that. Maybe I will get a G3. 🙂
nice intro lol :D
