Introduction

Hi, I was exploring help options for MAC OS X and found this site. I switched from Windows to MAC about a year and a half ago. I now have an I MAC and both of my daughters have I-books. One of my daughters took her I-Book to a Genius Bar because the internal speakers were not wotking. The Genius Bar person recommmeneded reinstalling the OS using archive and intstall. The computer was running OS X 10.3.9. Using the disks I had, I could only reinstall OS X 10.2.4. This version turned out to be incompatiple with my airport software. When I attempt to reinstall the airport software, I get a message saying that my airport software is up to date. I cannot connect to the internet to upgrade my OS software. What should I do?
Thanks for any help.

01. Connect, via a FireWire cable, the iBook to your iMac.
02. Boot the iBook in Target mode.
03. Copy the appropriate software from the iMac to the iBook.

'I am not sure which files to copy from the iMac to upgrade the iBook.' - 'I cannot connect to the internet to upgrade my OS software. What should I do?'

Prior to performing the above 01. through 03. steps, download the appropriate 'OS software' - via the iMac.
