Can I use my DVD Drive from my pc to load Tiger on my Mac
Can I use my DVD Drive From my pc (compaq R4000)to load Tiger onto my Mac G3 Blue & White?
The short answer is no
long answer is maybe but if you manage to get a DVD drive from a Compaq into a G3 then install Tiger it will be so slow (Tiger on a G3 iMac) it'll bring tears to your eyes.
What are talking about this sloww nonsense! I've been using Tiger since it came out on my Summer 01' 'Snow' iMac 500Mhz and it works quite nicely! Sure garageband is sssllooww but who needs it. Everything elese is good! Just bump up the ram and your good to go as long as the processor is 450Mhz or higher! Although after looking at your post, you were using OS 8.6 so I assume its a 233Mhz. So ya that would be slow...BUT I've found 10.2 Jaguar to work well with my Bondi 233Mhz with 192MB of Ram...

HPHi there,
Thanks to all. I've checked ebay already. Maybe these products are not available in Germany. I'm located near frankfurt/m.
I found only some "auctions" in UK with fixed price starting at 20 pounds or so. Nothing available in Germany at all! really exciting.
It would be very nice if one of you could provide me some links to these real auctions you found. ebay and google found nothing.
Thank you again

Can I use the internal drives from my PPC on a mac pro for storage?
Hi guys, I have a PPC dual G5 2.0 with 2 internal HD serial ATA (both). Im getting a mac pro today (mac pro 2.66 dual intel xenon) and I was wondering if I can use my drives in the new mac to have more space. Im not trying to have both osx 10.4 and 10.6 on the same machine, just storage. Also, do RAM memory will work?
Thanks guys!If you check OWC, www.macsales.com you can get an idea of ram prices and internal hard drive prices for that machine. OWC specializes in Macs and has an outstanding reputation for customer support.
With terra byte drive prices down at $100 or so, it is hard to justify the older, smaller, slower drives...you will just get frustrated -

Can I use my back drive from my PC with my new Macbook Air and Time Machine? Or do I need to get a whole new back up external hard drive?
You should be able to use a drive that was previously used with a PC. You will likely need to reformat it. Note the following quote from Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support
Your Time Machine drive needs to be formatted as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled). If you select an NTFS or FAT-formatted drive, Time Machine prompts you to reformat the drive. Important: Reformatting erases any files on the destination drive. If you're not sure if you want to erase the drive you connected, choose a different drive.
The following gives instructions on how to reformat to Mac OS X Extended. It refers to Aperture but the instructions would be the same: Format external drives to Mac OS Extended before using with Aperture - Apple Support -

How can I install Snow Leopard on my 15" MacBook Pro without using its DVD drive?
I'm assuming your dvd drive is broken? if you have a thumb drive large enough (8GB or better), you can use another computer to make a bootable image from the install dvd to the thumb drive. then you can install from the the thumb drive.

I want to upgrade my iMac to Snow Leopard, can I use the (DVD-Mac OS X 10.6.3) that I got with my purchase of the 15" MacBook Pro that totally died, and upgrade the iMac from that DVD that came with the laptop ? Thanks
No, that 10.6.3 DVD is system specific to the MacBook Pro.
You need a Snow Leopard Upgrade > Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.)

Might have a couple of other ideas if it doesn't.
Hmmmm, looks like 10.5.2 might be required for that, let me know...

Can I use a flash drive to back up my iTunes?
Did a search on backing up my iTunes, and only get the option of backing up to a disc (Which is what I've done over the past 3 years. I now have 6 discs accumulated).
Can I use a flash drive to back up my apps, music, and videos?
I only have a total of 1.6 GB of apps, music, & video.
If so, would I then be able to transfer everything from the flash to a new hard drive when I replace the current one?
Thanks for any advice or help.The backup built into iTunes works only with CDs and DVDs, but you can back up onto a flash drive or hard drive manually. Just drag the entire iTunes folder (normally in your user's Music folder) onto the backup device.
would I then be able to transfer everything from the flash to a new hard drive when I replace the current one?
Yes. If you back up the entire iTunes folder, you should be able to just copy it back to the new drive in the same location (user -> Music folder).
