HELP how to install OSX on power book ge prismo running OS 9.2

HELP how to install OSX on powerbook G3 prismo running OS 9.2  help.

First you need to install firmware update 4.1.8. Download at http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1395
I used to have a 400MHz G3 Pismo model running Tiger 10.4.11. It ran quite well, however videos will be very slow.
On your Pismo, what is the processor speed, how much RAM and what size hard drive? I maxed out the RAM on mine & installed a 40GB hard drive.
Tiger install DVDs are in short supply. Tiger is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available for $129 by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753). For other sources, do a Google search for MA453Z/A (10.4.6), MA190Z/A (10.4.3) and M9639Z/A (10.4) . Also look on eBay. Be sure & buy a retail version (black with silver X) and not a model specific version (gray) See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1976068 Can I use another Mac's system restore disc on my Mac?
Also check these web stores: http://www.lacomputercompany.com/cgi-bin/rpcart/index.cgi?command=dispitem&type= sku&sku=19521  http://www.allmac.com/shop/index.php?cPath=5_10003
After you install the base 10.4.x, update to the final Tiger version 10.4.11. Here's the link for the 10.4.11 combo update http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Look at this link Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger Installing Software Support Page
http://www.apple.com/support/tiger/install/
You can also download the Tiger Installation and Setup Guide
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/Tiger_Install_Setup_Guide.pdf
When you upgrade the OS, do it via Archive & Install. See About the Archive and Install feature http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710 Be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings. Also, repair permissions before and after the install.
 Cheers, Tom

  • How to install OSX 10.7 on a reformatted HD Macbook Pro 13?

    Is there any way of installing OSX 10.7 or 10.8 on a reformatted hard drive of a macbook pro 13 inch late 2009 that originally came with Leopard (OSX 10.5). I have just bought a macbook pro i5 and once all the data was transferred to the newer macbook I reformatted the hard drive of the old MBP in the xpectation that I could simply reinstall Lion. The recovery disc starts up ok, but curiously the installer points to mountain lion only and I keep getting a dialogue box informing me that my apple Id has not previously bought Lion (not Mountainlion, Lion). For starters that is untrue, I bought Lion on the app store to upgrade from Snowleopard to Lion on the original macbook and that shows up in the previous purchases screen in the App store application. Annoyingly this whole process does not allow me to re-purchase Lion on the old macbook pro and I am also now unable to restore the system from Timemachine as this now appears to be associated with the newer machine. And yes, you guessed it, I no longer have the original installation CDs, not realizing that I would still need these after upgrading the operating system (twice).
    Attempts to start up from the only disc that I do have (snowleopard) results in hopeful crunching of the optical drive followed by a grey screen descending across the monitor followed by the message that I must restart the computer and then this process starts again, so getting nowhere and frustration mounting.
    I am now left with a machine that is clinically dead with otherwise perfectly functioning hardware
    I would be most grateful for any advice.
    Thanks

    Purchase the white Snow Leopard 10.6.3 disks Apple sells on their online store.
    Follow these directions, you need to zero erase the ENTIRE drive of the older Mac. (important!)
    How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
    If you don't, the 10.8 RecoveryHD partition will remain and the 10.6 install disk can't repair the 10.8 drive later if there is a issue. There likely also will be a problem installing Lion, as the Recovery HD will be 10.8.
    If you install Lion, it will create it's own Recovery HD for it.
    Once your up, Software Update until 10.6.8, then you can log into AppStore and install Lion if you have already purchased it, or call Apple and special order it, because AppStore goes to 10.8 from 10.6.8 supposedly now.
    You then can reinstall iLife from the 10.5 disks by running the installer or using Paficist from Charlessoft.
    Just to let you know, you cannot sell the machine with 10.7 or 10.8 on it because the next owner needs your AppleID to reinstall or update the OS. 10.7 or 10.8.
    So if your selling it, just install 10.6.3 and press the power button down, it will reboot to the Welcome Video for the next owner.

  • OK HERE IS WHERE I AM AT HARD DRIVE WENT DOWN UPGRADED TO A 250 GIG AND NOW NEED TO KNOW HOW TO INSTALL OSX ON THE POWERBOOK G4 17

    I have a powerbook g4 17 and it recently went down the hard drive sounded like it was eating itself so i replaced the hard drive with a 250 gig and now i need help on how to get osx onto the powerbook it will not boot from disk i will start all the back at 0s9 if need be can anyone please help me i miss my g4

    Do you have any OSX disks?
    It won't boot from the new hard drive yet because there is no OS installed.
    You need to use an OSX disk, put in your mac, then when turn on, hold down the C key (to boot from the CD).
    Hold it down for a long time until you hear it noisily reading from the CD drive.  Once OSX starts up (from CD) you should go to Disk utility and you will need to format your new hard drive.
    Once formatted, you can then install OSX. 
    Everything is done from the OSX install disk.
    If you don't have one, you can buy a retail copy from Apple (not Snow Leopard), or from Ebay.  Make sure it is a retail copy, not disks that came with a Mac as they only work with the exact model of Mac it came with.

  • Help formating and installing osx tiger

    hi everyone!
    can anyone help on how to uninstall osx tiger from a mbp-that is clean clear my hard drive- and installing it again.is this even possible?
    thanx!

    ola aqua!
    ok thanx.look in the mean time i was having a look at the documentation on the osx installation guide that came with my mbp and there is a part that explains how to erase the hd.should i follow those steps?they seem very right to me..
    thanx in any case
    star will follow
    this is the info i gathered:
    "Erasing and Formatting Your Disk
    When you install Mac OS X, you can erase the destination disk. To do this, click Options in the "Select a Destination" pane of the Installer. Select "Erase and Install" and then choose a format. In most cases, choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    Important: Because the "Erase and Install" option erases your destination disk, you should back up your essential files before installing Mac OS X.
    You can also divide your hard disk into several partitions before you install Mac OS X. To do this, choose Utilities > Open Disk Utility and click Partition. Partitioning erases the entire hard disk, so be sure to back up your essential files first. Follow the instructions above to install Mac OS X and applications.
    Note: Before you can install the applications that came with your computer on a partition, Mac OS X must be installed on the partition."
    im just not sure i understood the partition thing but ill have a closer look and ill sort it out ,i guess-hope!!
    many thanx

  • How to install OSX 10.6 client in Mac Mini Server 10.7 Lion Server

    I am ordering a Mac Mini Server with Lion Server 10.7, with 256GB SSD and 750GB HD.  I want to use Snow Leopard (client/workstation) instead.  Previously I have already purchased retailed version of 10.5 clients and 10.6 client upgrade.  Please advise the best approach from the followings (or more suggestions from you guys...). 
    (A) The boot disk (likely to be the SSD) will be re-formatted and re-installed by "clean" installation of 10.6 client.  But I am not sure whether all hardware drivers for the new Mac Mini (2011) are available in the 10.6 client disk.  Also, it seems to me that installation disk of 10.7 server will not be provided.  So I shall not be able to re-install server version again if I want to change this Mac to a server sometimes afterwards.  Of course I would like to keep this server software for investment protection, no matter I use it or not.  If 10.6 client can be installed, I shall use bootcamp to install Windows 7 also.  So there will be 2 partitions to be usable aparently.
    (B) The factory-installed OSX 10.7 server is kept, and one more partition is created (with Disk Utilties).  Snow Leopard workstation 10.6 will be installed at this new partition.  If 10.6 client can be installed, I shall use bootcamp to install Windows 7 also.  So there will be 4 partitions, including 10.7 server, 10.6 client, 10.7 recovery drive and bootcamp for Windows 7.  Since I want to put all OS software at the SSD (faster boot-up and better performance), the drawback is that each partition is with less space.
    Do you guys have other ideas or suggestions?
    [Background]
    In fact I want to make use of its strongest computing power (amongst available Mac Mini computers in store), quad-core CPU & dual disks,  to run music applications (DAWs).  Operating systems are put at SSD, and data is put at traditional harddisk.  As some music applications (e.g. Calkwalk Dimension) only support 10.6 currently, I need to down-grade from Lion server to Snow Leopard workstation.  Also I think applications can run faster in a hardware with  workstation OS (rather than server version). Please correct me if this belief is wrong. 
    Thanks / Howard.

    If you completely wipe the original Mac mini boot drive you will wipe the Server.app software an dlose it. You should make a backup first, perhaps by saving the entire boot drive as a Disk Image file on to another drive.
    In terms of install 10.6, the 10.6 DVD will not boot on the new Mac mini even if you connect a DVD drive. You need to put the Mac mini in to FireWire Target Disk Mode and connect it to an older Mac that will allow booting from that DVD, then install on to the Mac mini (over FireWire), you then need to upgrade it using the 10.6.8 Combo Updater this will add the drivers needed for the new Mac mini.

  • How to install OSX on new SSD?

    I just purchased the 2012 i5 Mac Mini and replaced the 500GB hard drive with a new 128GB Samsung 840 Pro. Built many PCs in the past, but this is my first Mac.
    What are my options for installing OSX on it? When I first boot up I am greeted with a folder with a question mark in it. I hope this is typical? Also, did the SSD need to be formatted first? I just opened it up and put it in. I thought I could just hit command+r to do an internet install, but I have had no luck getting that to work with my Windows keyboard.
    If at all possible, I would prefer not to have to remove the drive again since it's so cumbersome.
    I don't have an external optical drive.
    I do have an external hard drive.
    I do have a few 8GB and 16GB flash drives.
    I have an ethernet cable for internet connection.
    I probably could have done a little more research before doing this, but I would greatly appreciate any help.

    Finally was able to get keyboard to start disk util/internet install. When I started internet install disk was nowhere to be found. I used a SATA to USB cable to boot from the 500GB drive and formatted the SSD. Then rebooted again, and currently finishing internet install. Hope it goes well.

    Adobe is a company. They make lots of software products. Which one(s) did you want to install? Adobe Reader? Adobe Acrobat? Adobe Flash Player? Adobe Creative Suite?
    The general outline is to go to the Adob website, pay for the software if it is pay software, download the software, and run the installer.

  • How to install OSX on 2nd HD and get rid of 1st HD?

    (thanks to this forum) I managed to install a second HD on my MacPro (I have to specify that I'm degree below z-e-r-o in hardware...).
    now, my second HD appears on the desktop (it's set for 1 partition in D.U.)
    AND THE BIG QUESTION IS:
    HOW CAN I INSTALL OSX ON THIS NEW DISK AND GET RID (once it's done) OF THE OLD CRAPPY SEAGATE HD?
    I know that it can be 'cloned' (I've read about for that here on the forum) but, is this the best thing to do? or shall I restart from the original APPLE CD? but how to do that...?
    thanks!

    Why is your Seagate "crappy?" Is it not behaving well in some manner? Because if you were to clone, the exact software issues that it has would appear on the clone. If you simply erase and install on the second empty hard drive, none of the other hard drive's software issues would be present. However, I would make sure your data is backed up before installing anything, and attempt to isolate whatever issues you are having first. If there is nothing on the second hard drive, you can go ahead and install and find out if you have the same issues on that drive. Erase and install is one of the installation options from the installation disks included with your Mac Pro. Be careful not to erase and install your original hard drive unless you are totally backed up as my FAQ explains:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    P.S. in case you didn't realize it, on the internet using ALL UPPERCASE means you are attempting to shout and be rude. Please avoid it so people don't misunderstand you.

  • My iPad 2 , safari missing new page button - please help how to instal it

    I am total novice in using ipad2 . Can some please advice me on how to install missing new button page on safari iPad 2?
    Also sorry it may be daft question ,my old computer crashed and I had to instal iTunes on  a new laptop but how  do I transfer iTunes music onto new laptop?
    It just seem to be suggesting to reinstall the I.e. iPod which would mean that I lose all my music on it....THANK YOU.

    Safari on iOS 5 uses tabbed browsing, not the thumbnail/paged browsing as on previous iOS versions - to open a new tab tap the '+' to the right of the tab bar, and to close the current tab tap the 'x' on its left-hand end (you can't close the last tab).
    In terms of your music, then if you haven't got a backup of your library which you can copy onto your computer, then you should be able to copy your iTunes purchases from the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. For music bought from other sources or copied from your own CDs you will need to find a third-party program that can copy them off.
