I have a used G4 from a university surplus materials auction. The cpu had been purged of all programs and operating system. I attempted to install Tiger but installation stops at designating drive location.
View 1 RepliesI have a dual 2ghz G5 that i wanted to clean off and start fresh. I wiped the drive with disk utility and tried to install os from tiger install dvd.

Cord is good as it will power my display.
Several months ago.... came home and mini was powered off and would not turn back on. I have replaced the unit but would like to try to revive the old one if possible.
I have replaced the ram with its original dimms. Still no good. I have also removed both the dvd and hard drive. Would be happy if i could atleast get the white light and mac sound... but nothing

It hung tonight while trying to burn a CD using Toast 9, which I could not even Force Quit. I closed it down using the Power button but when I rebooted it wont play, burn or recognise any media in the CD/DVD Drive! I have had the original replaced a year ago. Has it died or is it a more complicated software or OSX problem? I am running Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L30) Kernel Version:Darwin 9.8.0 on my Mac. The DVD drive has been making some strange whirring noises occasionally as I ripped CDs to my hard drive.
The machine is in a very cold area, was on for about 10 to 15 minutes before it just shutdown (like the plug was pulled) I checked the powercord by using another , same problem. I try to push the power button but nothing happens.

I installed leopard on it while back but it originally came with tiger. lost the recovery cds. I want it back to tiger. When i put the original tiger dvd in it will say in cannot install the software. so i figured i use TDM to connect it to my imac(running leopard) I used disk utility to erase the HD and did repair disk afterwords. I tried to boot the dvd using the c button on the MB but i would respond and went to the question mark folder.
How can i get tiger back on my MB
please don't ask me why i want tiger back and what leopard off its not really relevant.
I have a 1.8 GHz G5 PowerPC with 768 MB Ram and 160 GB Hard Drive running OS 10.3.9.Many internet sites don't work well due to incompatability and the computer runs kinda slow.Should I upgrade to Tiger? Would this improve performance on the internet and the overall speed of the computer?

It is a B&W G3 Desktop rev 1 350 mhz 1GB with 6GB Quantum startup volume with 9.2.2, and an aCard, Maxtor 120GB that is going to have Tiger on it.
Two OSs on Two Hard Drives and one OS on each hard drive on one apple desktop.
The hard drive is connected and the Apple System Profiler on 9.2.2 6GB startup volume detects the aCard and the Hard Drive, but when I select which hard drive to install, there is the original hard drive, and nothing else.
How do I install 10.4 on the Maxtor Hard Drive? Is there a key combination that I have to hold down while it is starting up?
I have a 20" Intel based iMac (model A1224) running Snow Leopard. It is just over a year old and only had the original Apple keyboard and mouse plugged into it. Today when I tried to start it I got only a blank gray screen. I tried all the keyboard combo start-up suggestions in the Apple help screens, unplugging/replugging everything, and booting with the Original disk and the Snow Leopard disk. A couple of those attempts produced a minute of the gray apple logo screen, then back to blank. While the disks were in it did sound like it was trying to read them, but spit out the disks after about 5 minutes.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've just installed the BRL-CAD application and it need a command line input (/usr/brlcad/bin) to the System - see below. I am not that familiar with the commands although no problem getting into the Terminal. I just don't want to screw this up. I am running a Mac Mini, 2.66 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, OS 10.6.5. I need some step-by-step info in getting this embedded and the application up and running.
Setting Up the Path:
Once installed, you will need to add /usr/brlcad/bin to your system
PATH. For Bourne shell users, you can run the following:
PATH=/usr/brlcad/bin:$PATH ; export PATH
For C shell users, this should do the same thing:
set path=( /usr/brlcad/bin $path ) ; rehash
I had some great last night regarding the need to get a "Black" retail disk in order to install Tiger onto my iMac, I have searched on ebay and have found some grey disks which read - "For Mac Computers" on the left hand side. In small print at the bottom they have 'Mac OS version 10.4.10, AHT version 3a133, disc version 1.0, 2z691-6089-A'
View 3 Replies View RelatedInstallation of Leopard on my Power Mac G5 failed. After that, I can't even boot into Tiger. Whenever I power on, it just stays at the grey Apple screen. I thought changing the hard disk might help. But my experiments proved that the same behavior persists even without any hard disk. Power on, "dong", grey apple screen: that's it. What happened?

Ive tried over and over to upgrade. I uninstalled the old flashplayer, installed the new version, did a disk repair and nothing.The only way for me to view a flv video is to go to “open with” and use Realplayer. It says it’s successfully installed but when I try to view a video the only thing that happens is that another window pops up that is completely blank but has a title that reads:

I have a 17" iMac G4 that I was rung Tiger with, then I installed Leopard 10.5. I use this as a second computer. All is fine except that my Epson scanner does not work with 10.5. I've tried the latest drivers. I'd like to reinstall Tiger. I used the 10.5 disc to reformat the drive and start from square one. When I boot from my original Tiger disc it starts opening it's windows, but when I get to the point where I can choose Install or use Disk Utility to reformat from the Tiger disc, all windows freeze and I need to hard reboot from the power switch. Am I correct to assume that 10.5 won't let 10.4 to reinstall. Is this correct?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI just obtained a PowerPC G4 Tower, but there was no hard drive in it. Because of this, I put in an older 20 gb hard drive I had just laying around. It is from an old Windows PC I had, but I don't know if thats a problem or not. Anyways, when I try to boot from the Tiger disc, nothing happens. I have tried holding down C when I turn the mac on, but that doesn't help at all. I just always get the mac icon with a question mark in the middle of the screen. I am just wondering, is this anything to do with the PC hard drive I put in the mac? Or is there something else that I am doing wrong? I just want Tiger to be installed on the computer.
View 13 Replies View RelatedRecently my parents just bought a Macbook with Leopard on it. I own a three year old Macbook that runs Tiger. I saw this as a chance to upgrade to Leopard. I tried to install Leopard on my Macbook but it says that it can't install on my machine. I've searched various places but I've gotten vague answers. Is it because the disk is hardware specific (From what I've heard) or is it something else and I'm not getting it?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a late 2007 MBP running Tiger (10.4.11). I recently purchased a new iMAC that came with SL (10.6.1). I have tried twice to use this DVD to upgrade my MBP from Tiger to SL, but it keeps telling me that OS X can't be installed on this machine. Do I need to use an UPGRADE DVD to actually do the Upgrade?

I have the Tiger CD's and a 80 GB HD that was on a PC before. Since it only holds one HD how can I format it and install this OSX on this machine? Can the BIOS be set to boot from a CD?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an original Tiger 10.4 install disk for a G-5 computer. When I boot up the computer with the install disk everything is fine. However when I run Disk Utility the only option I have for formatting the partitions is MS-DOS or free space. No Mac OS X formats are offered. If I run a 10.5 Install disk I am offered the options in Disk Utility to use Mac OS X HDD formatting. Any one have any idea what I need to do to get DU in Tiger to format the HDD in Mac OS X format? BTW, the HDD's in the unit are pre-formatted in Windows NTFS if that makes a difference. I just want to make sure Tiger supports Mac OS X format before doing anything else.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSo I have a few ibooks at the time I didn't have actual copy of mac os x and needed to erase the HD so I hooked 2 of them up by firewire cable in target disk mode. I was able to erase that way except I don't know if messed anything up there are 2 spaces in disk utility that will something like 37.0 fujitsu and then underneath it would say Macintosh HD well I wrote zeros to both took about 25 minutes then I get a copy of mac os a few days later try to drag the source mac os x tiger into destination the one that says fujitsu 37.0gb (by the way I'm doing this all with external monitor cause they have cracked screens). I shut the ibook off then power it on by itself it will start the installer for tiger and ask what volume I want to install it on and the picture of the harddrive that you are supposed to click isn't coming up I can't select anything it's blank. If the harddrive is bad then why would I be able to copy the source mac os x tiger onto it ? but won't let me install on the HD.
