Loading OS on new HD

Hello I have a 12" ibook 500. I just replaced the HD, RAM and installed an Airport card.
I do not have any of the system restore disks, as I bought this laptop used.
I do have a copy of tiger and I have tried to copy tiger onto a bootable iso DVD. Its not working and the computer is not recognizing the disk.
Any thing I can do at this point?
I suppose, I could buy a HD enclosure and load the old HD onto the new one, but I wanted to save the expense of the $20 or so $$ as I already spent about $200 on the new goods.
Thanks for any help
j

so i bought an external HD enclosure USB, and i hold down the option button and it goes to that screen with the 2 buttons, but my laptop doesnt see my old HD in the enclosure.
The enclosure light is on, and i can hear the disk spinning in it, whats wrong?

  • HT1386 I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S).  I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone.  But not sure how to do that.

    I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S).  I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone.  But not sure how to do that.  When I open iTunes it has a button that say "Back Up iPhone", but I'm not sure what that does.  When I go into the sync options it say I have another user account and asks me if I want to merge of replace. I'm assuming it's trying to tell me I have an older iTunes Library, but don't know that.  Geez, maybe people over 60 shouldn't have iPhones, iTunes just bafles me.

    How can I activate an old version of Photoshop that I've loaded on my new tablet? The web activation doesn't work, and when I call the number, it says it's not being used anymore. Meanwhile, I'm down to 13 days till it stops working due to not being activated. HELP?  I really need to continue using this product for my home business.It works fine not activated but the threat is that it will stop working in 13 more days if I don't get it activated, and none of the activation methods they list seem to work.

  • Unable to load CS4 to new iMac

    I purchased CS4 from Adobe a few days ago and followed the instructions to load to a new iMac (OS 10.5 4GB Ram) which is a couple of weeks old. This is the first software I have attempted to load onto it.  After trying twice and getting an error message both times  'some of the application components are missing please re-install the application' I contacted tech support at Adobe who walked me through uninstalling and re-installing.  The program appeared to install but the error message came back and now the program is not loading at all. Tech support said they would call me back but I am still waiting many hours later.
    I had many years with PCs but this is my first iMac and I am unsure if the error is with the Mac or the software.I would be grateful for any advice as I am totally lost.

    Gotta say Ann, that sounds an absolutely dreadful solution to your problem, you had to install a DEMO version?!! WHAT!!! seriously?!
    Ya know, with Adobe (and many other software providers) it's kind of like if you bought a brand new car from a car dealership but the driver door had a seal across it saying on it "if you break this seal you agree to the terms and conditions that said manufacturer are imposing", you then break the seal (cos you have to to get in) and then drive the car out of the showroom only to find that on the first turn of the wheel the wheel comes off in your hands, you then go to the dealers and say, "hey, this car isn't working properly, it's rubbish", to which they say "yeah but you agreed to the terms and conditions so it's your problem, but hey, as we're feeling kind we have some sticky tape in the showroom, we'll tape it back on again for you"
    This ain't good enough Adobe, somebody SERIOUSLY needs to look into the licensing issues with software manufacturers, you couldn't get away with this junk anywhere else in industry, so why so for software???!!!
    Either Adobe should produce rock solid software or they shouldn't produce software at all.

  • How do i get my stuff back from icloud. only part loaded to my new phone

    I backed up my Iphone4 before it was switched to a new one by the Apple Store.  My new phone uploaded, but it appears not all of my pictures from Icloud loaded on my new phone.  I did not go over my storage space.  I believe the upload was interupted and that may have cause the remaining items to load.  How do i go out and get the rest of my pics.  I can tell that last pic loaded was May2013.  No pics since then are there.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Camera roll photos may take a while to repopulate your new phone, are you sure you have given it long enough.

  • TS3408 why will some websites which loaded fine before now not load - when other favourites load fine, and new searches are fine?  This only affects 2 websites, both of which were bookmarked.  I have removed them as bookmarks and this makes no difference.

  • Loading in a new runtime-me​nu

    Hello,
    I was wandering if anyone can help. I am looking for a bit of code or a way in which I can be running a program then on a particualar button press, load in a new run time menu to the program so that all the options are now changed.
    I am assuming that it is possible. I just couldn't find a simple property node, etc. for doing it. If anyone knows how to then I would really appreciate them showing me.
    Best regards
    Peter

    VI property node ->RT menu path.  This will load a menu from file, can be done at runtime.
    (very nice for internalization since the menu items and tags are independent strings)

  • SSMA "Loading to database new table File Name.dbo[Table] ...sql execution failed

    In this case I had already processed this table once before 'no changes' and processed the second time I received this error ...sql execution Failed. It's like the sql server 2008 R2 doesn't see or detect the process. Starting Phase #0 Synchronizing Database:
    then it shows 'Loading to database new table file name.dbo[table] ... sql execution failed (this is my issue)

    Hi TheJudge2,
    Based on my understanding, you have installed SQL Server Migration Assistant successfully then you perform migration. After migration, you can’t find the table which you want to migrate to SQL Server 2008 R2 under the database in your SQL Server Management
    Studio, then you perform migration again. Then error message “Loading to database new table file name.dbo[table] ... sql execution failed” is thrown out. Please correct me if I misunderstand your meaning.
    Firstly, I would like to know whether you perform migration from Access database to SQL Server. I have performed migration from Access database to SQL Server in my lab environment.  Based on my test, I could migrate Access database to SQL Server successfully
    and table existed under the database in SQL Server Management Studio after migration.
    Besides, “sql execution failed” is a general error message. It is hard to find out the cause from this error message. Please check the information under the Output in SQL Server Migration Assistant again. It would be better if you can provide the complete
    output information for our deep analysis.
    Best regards,

    ;You can’t open the application “eFax Messenger” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
    when is hp, efax, or apple getting their act together to fix the issue?

    Hi,
    The eFax service provided with the HP device is a remote cloud feature and have nothing to do with installing any software on your computer.
    Any software named eFax you may trying to install is not affilated with HP in any way, as well I doubt if it is affilated with the eFax service in any manner.
    In order to enable and use the eFax feature please follow the steps below:

  • Will a FCP 3.0.4 upgrade from FCP 1 load onto a new Mac Pro

    Will a FCP 3.0.4 upgrade from FCP 1 load onto a new Mac Pro. I have tried loading in onto a mac book with no luck. I think its because my original FCP 1 loades using OS9 and because the new Mac Pro does not have an old operating system on it I cant load my original FCP.

    You should upgrade to FCP 5.1 or 6 as Jerry says.
    However, if you are desperate you could try this :-
    Install just your FCP 3 upgrade and also put in your FCP 1 serial number when asked.
    Whenever you try to open FCP you will probably get an error message. Click the "esc" key and FCP should open.
