I have an iBook G4 Mac OS X and it only came with 27 Gb of memory. My iPod has 80! How do I get more memory? Do they sell something at Wal-Mart or Best Buy that I can hook up to my computer? Or do I need to take my laptop to the Apple store and add more memory? What would that kind of thing cost?

take these few steps.
get a cheap external non-apple USB or firewire drive,
move all your music to that disk, move off stuff you don't access often.
That should more than clean up the hard disk inside the iBook.
You can connect the disk when you are at home, and leave it disconnected while you travel.
And of course we're talking about disk space not internal memory! (you don't have 27 gb of internal memory on an iBook)

Memory complete as in RAM is complete or the difficult force is complete? In both case, macs are designed to be opened through licensed Apple specialists, and you can also have got to take it to an Apple retailer and feature them determine it out. If you dont wish to do this, you would constantly simply purchase a pair flash drives, and even an outside difficult force. Those are lovely low cost at the moment besides.

You'll either have to add a memory chip, or upgrade your existing one. I don't have an iBook, just a G4, mine has expansion slots for adding more memory chips.
Go to macmall.com and see what the memory chip prices are on there. They fluxuate a lot, seems like I paid $128 for one and a few months later it was selling for $30. Memory chips are easy to install yourself or you can go to the Apple store and have them do it.

If you want a bigger hard drive than the one you got now, go to the link and input your model iBook. Or you can get an external drive from the same link.

You are confusing memory with hard disk storage. Your current computer has 27GB of hard disk storage. Notebook hard disks are expensive upwards in the range of $200 in some cases. You can contact Apple and ask what it would cost for a hard disk upgrade for your notebook.

Just get a new HD and install it. Correct me if i'm wrong but as far as i am aware macs don't use "special" HD's, and should therefore be compatible with the majority of HD's
