Error message after trying to install Tiger on a B/W G3

I've tried several times now to install OS 10.4 Tiger from the black install DVD onto my B/W G3. Every time, it gives me a error message saying there were errors during installation and to restart. I've got 512-640 MB of RAM (I've removed one after market 128 RAM hoping that would help). I upgraded the HD to a Maxtor 200GB a couple years ago. I'm at a loss as to where to go from here. We just got new iPods and can't even load them until this OS is upgraded. Other than buying a new Mac, what can I do to resolve this issue?

I would, but I don't have it on CD. I finally got the drives switched and the drive was ready to be rebuilt when DW gave me an error message saying there was a file open on the HD. I've basically figured that it is beyond repair until I can get my files backed up and reformat the drive.
In the meantime, my brother is going to give me his iMac G5 and upgrade to a new Mac.
Thanks for all the help.

  • HT1926 I received an error message after trying to install the update of itunes.  Now I can't even open up my itunes.  When I tried to download itunes again it showed it was already a file.  Still can't get into my music.  What should I do?

    I received a notice to download a newer version of itunes.  After starting the process of downloading I got an error message which then suggested I try to download itunes again.  When I did this it showed the file was already in my system and stopped the download process.  Now I can't open my itunes to play my music.  What can I do to get it back?

  • I receive the following error message when trying to install QuickTime for Windows "Error writing to file C:/Program Files/QuickTime/QTSystems/QuickTimeCheck.ocx. Verify that you have access to that directory."

    I recieve the following error message when trying to install Quicktime for Windows "Error writing to file C:/Program Files/QuickTime/QTSystems/QuickTimeCheck.ocx. Verify that you have access to that directory."  I just trying to get the latest version of iTunes.  Thanks

    "Error writing to file C:/Program Files/QuickTime/QTSystems/QuickTimeCheck.ocx. Verify that you have access to that directory."
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Error Messages when trying to install, uninstall or run iTunes 9

    I get the following error message when trying to Install iTunes:
    The path C:\DOCUME~1\Frank\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP206.TMP\iTunes.msi cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install the product iTunes.
    I search my entire computer for the file but it's not there.
    Then, when I try to uninstall the iTunes and start the install from scratch I get another error:
    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable"
    Catch-22, I can't install or uninstall and when I try to run iTunes I get:
    "The action is only valid for products that are installed"
    Very frustrating but I'm stumped and I don't know how to proceed. Any help would be very much appreciated.

    wooooooooo!!! got it working again!! having spent the last 6 hours..no joke six f*cking hours trying to sort it ive finally got iTunes back!!
    ok here is what you need to do:
    go to the link below and download the Microsoft Windows Installer CleanUp Facility.
    http://www.locksleynet.com/2009/06/09/missing-itunesmsi-problem-resolved/
    once you have downloaded it, install it and run it from the start menu. once its up and running remove everything to do with iTunes (so iTunes itself, quicktime, bonjour......the lot). Dont worry about removing iTunes completely, all the music is still there when it works again trust me!!
    ok once you have removed everything restart your computer, im not sure if this is a must but i did it.
    next download quicktime from the apple website (go to the 'downloads' tab near the top. download and install quicktime and restart your computer so the new settings are put in to place ( i think it asks you to restart anyway).
    go back to the apple website, 'downloads' tab and download iTunes itself. install that bad boy and you will be up and running with all your library intact!
    Hope it works for you mate!

  • Error message when trying to install Flash 10.0.45.2

    I am running IE 7 on windows XP. We had some issues with Flash active active control version 10.1.53.64 and higher so I unistalled 10.1.53.64 and downloaded the older version (10.0.45.2) from the adobe website but when I try to install it I get the following error "The version of Adobe Flash Player that are trying to install is not the most current version. Please visit http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer to obtain the latest more secure version". I am however able to install version 9.0.289.0
    Is there any particular reason that i cannot install 10.0.
    The reason that I don't want to use 10.1 is because it has a bug that affects the working of my application and the audio some times does not play.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the information. I downloaded the Active X from the link you provided but I am still getting the same error message

    Subject: Error message when trying to install Flash 10.0.45.2
    If I remember correctly, there were two different installers for 10.0.45.2: one that did the checking for a newer version, and one that did not.
    The forum search is currently disabled, and I cannot find the topics that were discussed at the time.
    However, I still have the installers for the non-check version available for download on my servers:
