Apple ID

If you are asked to setup a credit card you do the following:

goto Apple - My Apple ID 

* Change your email address to a valid dummy address ie: dummyaccount1@company.com

* go back to Itunes Store - logout, browse to a free item and add it to your Ipad - it will ask you to create a new account or login with an existing account. Choose new account, setup the new account, verify email address and off you go.

Project: Loading Linux on iMac G5

I've got a few iMac G5's hanging around gathering dust and I'm going to sprooch them up and load Ubuntu with Java JDK and BlueJay to be used as programming stations.

DOWNLOAD UBUNTU PowerPC

Get Ubuntu from here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCDownloads/

I've gone with the  Ubuntu 12.04-alternative ISO http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04.2/release/

STEPS

1. Boot iMac holding down C 

2. Followed installation instructions

3. Had a problem connecting to DHCP for IP Address allocation so I've just allocated a static IP Address

4. Installation ran fine until it got to the "Install" part and it just failed with "Install the System: Installation step failed" no further explanation..

So I downloaded MintPPC and I've just finished loading it... worked a charm!
