I remember I had the tangerine 🍊 one when I was in college. We were required to have this model for our digital design and web building classes. I still have mine and it still works.
This is just the best vintage Mac vídeo I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen plenty! These machines are not just to be collectible, they’re meant to be used like you do! Amazing video 😍
Oh sweet! I'm delighted you found it useful. Also insanely jealous you have the key lime version, I'd love to collect that (which seems impossible) and a tangerine (nearly impossible!)
Admittedly I haven't really used it since. I was more curious of what one could technically do with it 20 years later. COMING SOON: Editing Arri Alexa on a 2008 MacBook Pro! :D
Great video! I feel the exact same way as you. I feel so emotionally attached to the iBook clamshell. I desperately want to make it do as many modern features as possible. It’s easy to forget that the internet was a baby when it was released, and today we rely on internet for almost all daily tasks. Do you still use the iBook these days?
Hi Mectojic, Glad you enjoyed the video. No, I don't really use the iBook these days - I thought the concept of the video was a fascinating experiment and seeing how far you could push old Tech.
I really wanted to be like Elle woods and use it for college, but now knowing it’s runs Microsoft word pretty slowly, ill just have to find a modern laptop.
Great info plan on doing some mods on a iMac g3 400 dv just got the 2 512mb ram sticks in just waiting on the HDD replacement. This is the first I've heard of that browser and getting RUclips to work without using youview while I mostly plan on booting 9.2 and playing old games I'm definitely inspired to push it to the limits now good work!
Very cool. The iMac should definitely get a speed boost with the new hard drive. It's always fun to push old Tech to it's limit - stay tuned as I have a video dropping really soon of how to revive an Old Netbook!
I have one of these and I'd love to make it into something useable. It's indestructible. It was made for kids with its own handle. The sockets are all recessed so they can't be bashed. And no camera... you have to pay extra for that these days. It's going to need more processor though isn't it? Needs an M1 I think. Keep the original screen. 480p is plenty.
Why wouldn't you want a camera - were you immune to all the ZOOM calls needed the past year? I think there's people on RUclips who mod iBooks with MacBook Airs inside!
@@ImLeeLoi Yeah - or this: ruclips.net/video/gq7nroTj-LA/видео.html It's only a matter of time before he makes a silicon version. Although I'd love the the clamshell to work - I really don't think it ever will. Great video there - cheers. An M1 logic board might be amazing - you never know - and it might work fanless.
@@mzs112000 I don't think Modern Wi-Fi cards exist for it unless you go USB route. The airport card in mine couldn't even connect to new unsecured Wi-Fi.
Umatrix plugin will block tracking and ads and will speed up your browsing. Also look in to tethering an android phone to your iBook via usb. You will then be able to connect to any WiFi hot spot. The airport card only supports WPA and limited WPA2. Great video!
Unfortunately I am an iPhone user! Did a bit of digging and from what I personally remember when I had older Wi-Fi it works with WPA but not WPA-2. Stay tuned, next up I try editing Arri Alexa 2K footage on a 2008 MacBook Pro! Hoping to have it out end of this week or next.
Great video! Subbed. Great content. I have a blueberry clamshell with 10.4 that I really don’t intend to use for internet, but I want to download old games onto it. I can get it on the internet easy, but safari won’t get past Google. Dumb question-how did you install a new browser?
@@ImLeeLoi on second thought... now I realize that Big Sur’s looks actually makes me feeling more comfortable because how it’s similarly with iOS/iPadOS 😁
Hmm... I mean I have the basic 300Mhz one. I did upgrade the ram to 512MB. If your buying the cheapest one without a ram upgrade the games you'll be playing will be in Mac OS 9. A great place to start is Macrumors forum they have an entire community of PPC hobbyists.
Thanks man, I appreciate it! I checked your channel and saw your quite a PowerPC enthusiast, hopefully there was something in the video your able to use! :)
@@seriesretrogis5010 I use quicktime player. Did you change the browser user agent. I have read reports on Mac Rumours that apparently that this hack on RUclips doesn't work in some Countries like the UK but can't confirm. :)
@@ImLeeLoi is there any place where i can turn on how to configure quick time to open youtube videos? I already managed to install imovie but it asks me for more screen resolution than clamshell supports to open it
I´m wondering if i can be able to listen to spoitfy via the browser on my g3 imac. it´s currently running on the latest version of 10.3, but i would try to get 10.4 running...
@@ImLeeLoi I will give it my best :) although I am already enjoying the built in speakers whilst listening to my old iTunes playlists, I used to play on my iPod ...
So if you watched the video, what I did was actually copy the Tiger CD 1 contents onto the iBooks second partition, booted into open firmware and executed the code mentioned in the video which eventually boots into the Tiger install on your internal HDD. As for when it asks for Disc 2, 3 and 4: Those install off the USB stick fine as the Tiger installer is smart enough.
I used to have this same exact iBook in 2007 I loved it. I used Mac OS X and Mac OS 8.6 -9.2 I even used Ubuntu too I wish I could find a tangerine 🍊 one ☝️ like Elle woods had but they’re so hard to find

Thanks Adriano, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! :)
Lol, I keep coming back to watch this beacause I wanna do the same with my Tangerine ibook and use it for college work. :)
Go for it! Why not. :)
Thanks so much for the video. I’ve been desperate todo this with my key lime and haven’t been able to until I saw this
Oh sweet! I'm delighted you found it useful. Also insanely jealous you have the key lime version, I'd love to collect that (which seems impossible) and a tangerine (nearly impossible!)
Is this in-depth I can't exactly tell it seems pretty in depth but I'm still a bit confused do you have any tips
What an entertaining video! Thank you so much for the review of a beloved retro machine.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’m surprised this video didn’t blow up! Great content!
Thank you for the kind comment! Hopefully will have a new Tech video out this week! Stay tuned. :)
My sister had the orange one years ago and never let me touch it. It's cool the stuff you were able to do with it
Awww pity! You can always buy one off eBay!
Can’t wait to go into a coffee shop and look like a total hipster
Haha Chris that's great. It'll be very trendy when Coffee shops re-open! :)
Great video! I'm glad I'm not the only one trying to find uses for an iBook clamshell in 2019!
Admittedly I haven't really used it since. I was more curious of what one could technically do with it 20 years later. COMING SOON: Editing Arri Alexa on a 2008 MacBook Pro! :D
I really like old technology this is really interest me in technology that can do that's old they can do modern things that's just amazing
bouncyCatuslikesthings for sure! I love pushing old things to their limit! I managed to edit Arri Alexa footage on my first ever MacBook!
Thats really cool

Yeah that will be hard to do! I think you might get frustrated!
When editing the video and he says “who are these kids?!!” I spat my tea all over my MacBook 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha! I'm glad you enjoyed that moment! The footage comes pre-loaded!

These things are way more powerful than people give them credit for, I’d love to get one and play some Mac OS 9 games.
Get one!!
Very nice video ! I just wonder how do you mange the opening youtube video in quicktime… and is there a way to install a user agent ? Many thanks
I'd look for the Macrumors post for more updated information as this video is nearly 4 years old!

I bet I could use an iBook G3 in 2021. I’ve got a 900MHz one with 640MB of RAM and a similar SSD setup.
Challenge time! Make a video and drop a follow up comment to let me know how it went; so many more MHz and Ram!
@@ImLeeLoi Will do, just got to get a new charger, and probably a new WiFi card, since mine also has no support for modern WiFi networks.
@@mzs112000 I don't think Modern Wi-Fi cards exist for it unless you go USB route. The airport card in mine couldn't even connect to new unsecured Wi-Fi.

My Pismo will do WPA2, if it's AES encryption..it's TKIP that it trips up on.

Gonna be my gaming setup
So many FPS!!
Man i missed good old macOS interface tho... This is way cooler than the current theme rn
Old Aqua is nice but I also like Big Sur. I think Mojave era was a real bore for UI design. :)

How did you get RUclips to play and the user agent stuff with ArcticFox?
The Macrumors forum explains it all in more detail. I didn't reinvent the wheel. There's a great community there of PPC preservationists. :)
Done for the user agent but it seems like it doesn’t apply changes and load the same youtube page without asking for quicktime to load the media …
I've seen others mention that it's country dependent!
Hi I have put artixfox on how did you play around with the “user agent mode “ to get RUclips videos to play ?
If you find the MacRumors forum posting it has much better instructions than what I can give as it's been 2 years since I've done this. Apologies.
How can I tell if a used Apple clamshell will let me play games? I would really love to buy one!
Hmm... I mean I have the basic 300Mhz one. I did upgrade the ram to 512MB. If your buying the cheapest one without a ram upgrade the games you'll be playing will be in Mac OS 9. A great place to start is Macrumors forum they have an entire community of PPC hobbyists.
sad that the IDE to mSATA adapter didn’t work, have you tried the one that Action Retro uses?
Nope. Feel free to give it a go and let me know the results. Pretty happy with the card to IDE device I'm using now. :)
Great video man :)
Thanks man, I appreciate it! I checked your channel and saw your quite a PowerPC enthusiast, hopefully there was something in the video your able to use! :)
What were the steps for messing with the user agent to get RUclips to work?
I found out on MacRumors it doesn't work in all countries but if you type out the user agent I show on screen that should do it.
What software did you use to play RUclips and to install imovie, my ibok does not allow it, it says it is not compatible, I have the same model as you
Make sure your running 10.4 Tiger. :)
@@ImLeeLoiif it is in this system but it won't let me run, what did you use to open the youtube videos?

Great video! I will subscribe
Thanks dude! I really appreciate the support. Hope your enjoying the new videos too. :)
Ello mate Do ya know some classic games for old mate here?
Have a browse through the Macintosh Repository.
I´m wondering if i can be able to listen to spoitfy via the browser on my g3 imac. it´s currently running on the latest version of 10.3, but i would try to get 10.4 running...
Spotify is such a resource hog tho... Maybe RUclips music? I don't know is the answer - all you can do is try!
@@ImLeeLoi I will give it my best :) although I am already enjoying the built in speakers whilst listening to my old iTunes playlists, I used to play on my iPod ...
Same machine with you, I've tried both tenfourfox and Arcticfox, but they all run EXTREMELY slow. How can I disable Spotlight?
The 8 bit guy has a video called "iBook G4 - Getting the Most out of your iBook" which has the guide. :)
He removed the video because of copyright reasons.
Cool! That’s for sharing
I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
@@ImLeeLoi thank you
Great video! Can it run Minecraft though 😅?
Highly unlikely LOL.
Do you know how to reset an eMac to fabric systems?
I do not my apologies.
@@ImLeeLoi no problem thanks
Lmao my friend has an iBook and he still uses it as his daily driver. He uses the same browser, but he was able to fir it into os9.
Cool!
How did you get it to boot from usb?
So if you watched the video, what I did was actually copy the Tiger CD 1 contents onto the iBooks second partition, booted into open firmware and executed the code mentioned in the video which eventually boots into the Tiger install on your internal HDD. As for when it asks for Disc 2, 3 and 4: Those install off the USB stick fine as the Tiger installer is smart enough.
@@ImLeeLoi Ok thanks
i feel like if i tried what u did, i would break mine lol
Yeah if you don't feel confident - don't do it!
How do you download games?
As mentioned in the video, all software seen on the iBook was downloaded from the Macintosh Repository. :)
Lee-Loi Chieng I think I missed that part sorry 😂💛
Interesting.
Glad you think so!
Can you try zoom?
Haha Zoom would kill this! Also the software wouldn't exist for 10.4
Oh ok
I asked this because I tend too see a zoom icon on the laptop on one of the videos
I used to have this same exact iBook in 2007 I loved it. I used Mac OS X and Mac OS 8.6 -9.2 I even used Ubuntu too I wish I could find a tangerine 🍊 one ☝️ like Elle woods had but they’re so hard to find
