10.3.9 udate to 10.4.3 crash...HELP

Yesterday I updated a colleagues 1.25ghz powerbook. It had 512 or ram and I replaced a 256 chip with a 512 that was purchased from the apple store. The computer booted and was fine. After that I put in the tiger (10.4.3) install disk, also purchased yesterday from the apple store. I did a typical upgrade and everything was going fine until the very end after the progress showed it was all complete, the installer crashed.. ahhh
After that the computer would restart. I was able to start from up from the tiger install disk, and tried to run a repair disk permissions, that also crashed….
So my next step was a reinstall using the archive and install option. That seemed to go well until the reboot. At that point it got hung up on the starting up os x screen. The next restart got us to the log in window, and the next restart got us to the desktop but then froze there…very frustrating, any idea what is going on here?????
I am going into work today and after hours of scouring this board I didn’t find anything else exactly like this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am bringing in disk warrior and will try to repair the permissions again, but I am very confused by this one and since it is not my computer and I am just helping out a computer illiterate friend, I would really prefer not to do a clean install and then have to restore all his old stuff.
Thanks!!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I think what you are saying is that you'd prefer to do an erase and install and then restore:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607614
That has its own set of complications, if you aren't backed up more than once, since the moment the data is erased on the original drive, if there is something wrong with the backup, then you may be stuck with no data at all!
It is possible that the RAM was not installed correctly, and if you do use Disk Warrior, I'd use version 3.0.3. If the installer disk is a 10.4.3 installer disk itself (and not 10.4), go ahead and repair permissions and repair disk. If it is a 10.4 installer disk don't repair permissions from the installer disk, wait till you can successfully boot off the hard disk to repair permissions from Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility. Of course you can only Repair Disk from the installer disk.
Make sure there are no third party peripherals connected when you attempt to install. In addition, remove any haxies, or other third party software like anti-virus or system related software that might not be Tiger compatible.

    pleaase help me

    No you can't.  It is iOS 7 or not at all.  You need to update to the lastest software or not at all, so the choice is yours.  Update to the latest software or not at all.  Stick with what you have.
    Also stop trolling this forum with the same stupid question to which you have had the same answer time and again.

  • Retrieving latest changed date UDATE for Vendor.

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement to retrieve latest changed date UDATE field from CDHDR table based on company code wise??.
    As the vendor can be same for different company codes, I need to retrieve the company code wise latest changed date of vendor.
    Hope am clear.
    Currently am doing this 
    SELECT objectclas objectid tcode udate
        FROM cdhdr INTO  CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_cdhdr
        FOR ALL ENTRIES IN it_lfa2
        WHERE objectclas = 'KRED' AND
              objectid   = it_lfa2-objectid
        AND   change_ind = 'U'.
    SORT it_cdhdr BY objectid udate  DESCENDING.
    Its giving me the latest changed date. But I need latest changed date -company code wise?
    Any help is highly appreciated.
    Thanks & regards
    Himayat.

    Hi,
    Use function module CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ to get the details of CDHDR as well as CDPOS data. Records of table CDPOS where TABNAME = 'LFB1' will have the details related to changes in company-specific data.  Structure EDITPOS of above function module will give you detail information.

  • My iPhone 4 will not udate to the ios6

    I have tried 3 times on 2 different PCs to udate my iPhone 4 to the ios 6 update. It says on my phone that the udate is available, and it says on my iTunes that the udate is available. I connect my phone to the PC and to iTunes and the udate starts to download (at a snail's pace). It says it will take anywhere between 17 and 20 hours to complete so I do it before I go to bed. In the morning, is says an error has occurred and the phone has not udated. I do not remember what the exact wording of the error is at this time. I'm in the middle of my 4th try, but am losing hope, hence the attempt at a solution on here. Any suggestions are welcome and very appreciated.

    Hi Li,
    Thats was really helpful information , infact my requirement is same as what you said. I even checked in the table entries there is only one changenumber.
    You said we can take the first record, i even did the same. But for TABNAME I have to pass 3 table name 'LFA1', 'LFB1' and 'LFM1'. For FNAME 'LOEVM', 'SPERR'. I have written the code as below.
      SELECT objectclas
                   objectid
                   changenr
                   FROM cdpos
                   INTO TABLE i_cdpos_a1
                   FOR ALL ENTRIES IN i_lfabm1
                   WHERE objectclas = c_kred               "KRED
                   AND objectid EQ i_lfabm1-objectid       "Lifnr
                   AND ( tabname EQ c_lfa1 OR tabname EQ c_lfb1 OR tabname EQ c_lfm1 )          "LFA1, LFB1 and LFM1
                   AND ( fname EQ c_loevm OR fname OR fname EQ c_sperr )    "LOEVM, SPERR
                   AND value_new EQ c_x.
            IF sy-subrc EQ c_0.
              IF i_cdpos_a1[] IS NOT INITIAL.
    Select UDATE from CDHDR based on CHANGENR in CDPOS.
                SELECT objectclas
                       objectid
                       changenr
                       udate
                       FROM cdhdr
                       INTO TABLE i_cdhdr_a1
                       FOR ALL ENTRIES IN i_cdpos_a1
                       WHERE objectclas = c_kred             "KRED
                       AND  objectid EQ i_lfabm1-objectid               "Lifnr
                       AND changenr EQ i_cdpos_a1-changenr.   "(this is coming from CDPOS above selection)
    Here i got UDATE which have all the dates from 3 tables. I have to display in the output the field value (X) of LOEVM and UDATE for LFA1, SPERR value and UDATE for LFA1.Same way for other two tables, I have to display the UDATE and its field value (X). Where UDATE should be most recent date respectively.
    How can I populate the Recent date (UDATE) from one interal table for indvidual field values and table names.

  • Udating material master with changed planned delivery time in contract

    Hi experts ,
    My question is while we are changing the planned delivery time in the contract we need to udate the same in the material master table . so how to update the material master table with new planned delivery time. Is there any FM exits to udate it and if it is then how to use it.
    thanks
    Anshuman

    Hi Madhu ,
    You are right we can use BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA but if we use it then we have to use BAPI_COMMIT also to make sure that all the changes are saved completly and if we do BAPI_COMMIT then it maye commit all the task which is in queue and it need to update later. So it is again a issue .
    Thanks

    My time machine backup disc has apps from Mountain Lion that won't open now that I have Yosemite.  They all say need to be upgraded to Yosemite. Go to app store. But app store sees that I have yosemite so doesn't even show me an udate option. How can Update these files??

    How do you know they won't run in Yosemite? You're not trying to fiddle with stuff in your backup from the Finder, are you? If so you are likely to render that backup unusable.
    WHen when you restore them from your backup, they should be updateable.

    I have updated my ipod touch but i have to update iphone and ipad 1 and ipad2 . How can I save the udated software in order to avoid teh time for downloading it again each time

    Even though the downloads are for the same iOS version number, they are different downloads and you can't use an iPod iOS update to update an iPhone or iPad etc. The iPad 1 and iPad 2 are also different downloads. So you will need to download different updates for your iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad 1 and the iPad 2.
