10.4 installation disks - nowhere to be found

How do I get the pair of installation disks for Tiger?
My husband installed the first of the two 10.4 disks that came with his iMac, but he gets errors when he puts in the second disk. Now his iMac G5 cannot boot off a CD by holding down the "c" key. It can do nothing until its demand is met.

If your system can't run Leopard, or you have a business need for Tiger, call and speak to Apple about it. They may be able to assist you, although you may need to speak with a product specialist.
That second Disk thing happens frequently, the best way around it is to do a Custom install, and eliminate enough Printer Drivers, Languages, Fonts, and Applications you don't need... then it may skip #2 altogether.

  • Installer Disk Could Not be Found

    I tried to install Windows 7 RC on my Boot Camp Assistant, but after I click "Start Installation", the message "Installer Disk could not be found" appeared.
    Note:
    The disc is recognized already, i.e. I could see the DVD appearing on my desktop.
    I downloaded the 64bit ISO, and burnt it into a DVD.
    Any idea in the solution to troubleshoot? Thanks!

    I have the same problem only with the 32-bit ISO. Is there a way I could do the installation from an SD card or an external hard drive? Or, is there a way I can boot from the DVD I burned?
    I used a DVD+RW disc if that makes a difference. I will try burning the ISO image at half speed as I've seen recommended in other topics.
    I burned the ISO image to the DVD using the MacBook Pro if that makes any difference I can try burning it from my HP laptop when I get back home next week.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    PS, my account is identified as an Admin when I look at it in the System Preferences > Accounts.

  • Bootcamp: installer disk could not be found - but MAC desktop can see it

    Hi,
    I have an iMac intel - 17" 1.83 GHz that I put together from a box of junk. Mechanic friend took it all apart, don't ask. Installed a new hard drive of 1 terrabyte. The internal optical drive does not work so we got a new Iomega optical drive that works just great.
    We want to run Windows XP Pro on this iMac - and after updating all of the software in Mac (OS 10.5.8), and running Bootcamp set up assistant, partitioned the drive to 500 GB MAC; 500 GB PC, got this error message saying that the Windows XP installer disk could not be found.
    The disk appears on the desktop. I can click on it and see all of the pc files in it. I clicked on a couple of the files and got a simple text document of gibberish. But the set up assistant in Bootcamp still doesn't recognize the disk. So I have been unable to install Windows.
    The disk itself is a burned copy from my university that gave me a full license for Windows XP Pro, SP 3. It's 32 bit. And it shows up as an install disk when I pop it into a PC.
    I've run Disk Warrior and Disk Utilities to repair permissions and to check that the new hard drive is ok...and it's all set.
    I wonder if this is because of the external dvd drive that I'm using. I can use my Macbook Pro and get the imac into target mode. But don't know if this will have me continue to bark up this tree.
    Has anyone had success with the same kind of problem that I'm not facing? Thanks much in advance.
    Sheila

    I too got a version of Windows 7 64 Professional from the the Microsoft Software Distribution Network through Uni. I burnt the iso file on a PC to a DVD with power ISO and then tried to use it as the install disk. After some umming and arrhhing Mac OS X recognised it, the installer started, allowed to select language etc, then suddenly a box appears announcing that a required cd/dvd drive device driver is missing.
    I have rang up apple support and they are pretty much saying it is a disc quality issue, but I have checked all the disc drive regimes and permissions and they all seem to be fine. I have also done it with multiple brands and a number of times, everytime the same message returned. All the latest firmware has been downloaded. One thing that was briefly mentioned by the guy at Apple support was that there was the possibility that it may be the "logic board". So the previous poster may be right. They said this was unlikely, but everything is possible. The drive works for everything in the OS X side though, so has pretty much stumped me and the Apple support people. I think the only option is to take it to an Apple shop and let them see it for themselves, not really an option for me as I need the Mac Book to write my dissertation, due in about three weeks so can't afford to lose it.
    Sorry if I have slightly "jacked" the thread, but the issue sounded pretty close to mine. Any resolution or insight into what might be the issue would be amazing.

    Duncan

  • Installer disk could not be found bootcamp problem

    Hi everyone,
    I am trying to download windows 7 on my mid-2011 iMac with bootcamp assistant. After selecting the option "Save a copy on an external drive", downloading the WindowsSupport helper, and partioning the disc and clicking install, it comes up with "The installer disk could not be found". Could someone please help me come up with a way to solve this problem please.
    Also, how do you tell if you are going to download the 64-bit version of windows 7 ultimate/premium/starter?

  • Boot camp displays "the installer disk could not be found"

    I have burned the Windows 8.1 .iso image 3 times and for some reason when I try to start the bootcamp utility I get the message "The installer disc could not be found"... I have the Win 8.1 Pro disk in my superdrive and nothing happens! Very frustrating!

    Reading other posts like this I have verified the installer disk.

  • "Installer Disk Could Not Be Found"..help? Please?

    I'm trying to install Windows 7 using Boot Camp, but when I come to the part that lets me decide how many GB I want to dedicate to Windows and how many GB to my Mac, I click the install button only to have a window pop up that says my install disk cannot be found. The disk IS in the computer, and I have burned the img file to the disk (a dvd-r disk). I'm going to try my friend's copy of Windows 7, maybe my disk is just acting up. If that is NOT the case, what should I do? And why am I recieving these error window-pop ups? I'm extremely new to my MacBook Pro, and I'm okay with using a PC but by no means am I anywhere near to be tech savvy. I'm running Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.3 by the way.

    If the Optical drive is good, and it can read the DVD, the only missing link that I can see is the Driver that Windows has to access the Optical drive.
    Can you verify that you meet the requirements fork Windows 7 - Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems
    What version of OSX are you running? (Your signature says Mavericks, so you should be installing a 64-bit W7). Is your disk a 64-bit W7 installer?

  • Desperately need CS5 web premium installation disks (or download link)

    Hi there, I need a little help.
    My hard drive had to be reinstalled last week, and I don't have my disks for web premium cs5 and indesign 7.0
    I don't have my installation disks, my brother got me the program, emailed me the serial numbers and I downloaded from the website. Now my brother is (seriously, no jokes) riding a pony across mongolia and the disks are nowhere to be found.
    I just spent heaps of money to fix the computer, I'm definitely not going to spend heaps more to upgrade to a version I don't even want (have not heard good things about 5.5, going to wait until cs6). Do you know of any way to get my hands on a set of those installation disks? For windows for extra fun.
    Thanks so much, looking forwarding to hearing from you!
    Jenn

    I'm in a similar situation. In my case we had a sewer flood in the basement (where my office is) and the clean-up crew (running around in hazmat suits) were a bit overzealous tossing everything in the dumpster.
    Adobe's scripted response: "We only keep copies of the current version." When I pointed out that several of Adobe's own License Agreements state that copies of DVDs are available for several years (i.e. of versions other than the current one) I was promised that they'd get back to me "within 2 or 3 business days". Several weeks later I finally received a reply; no replacement DVDs are available but I could upgrade to the latest version (at the regular upgrade cost)...
    Given that some of the License Agreements state that replacement DVDs will be available for some time after the new version has been released contrary to Adobe's stock answer that such copies are never available, I wonder if it would help to contact the Attorney General in my state and/or whether there's ground for a class-action lawsuit?

    You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

  • Boot Camp Assistant "Windows 7 Installer disc could not be found"

    I'm attempting to Boot Camp a partition on my MacBook Pro Retina (13", early 2013) and it's not working. I purchased a Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit DVD and i'm accessing it through the optical drive on my desktop iMac. So far so good; MBP shows the disc on its desktop through remote disc sharing. The USB drive with downloaded Windows drivers is in place.
    However, Boot Camp Assistant won't recognize the Windows 7 DVD, even though it's right on the desktop (remotely). There is a dialog box and it says "Installer disc could not be found .. wait a few seconds"
    And that's it. Nothing further happens.
    Help! I hate Windows! Why am I doing this??

    Thank you! I bought Windows 7 on a physical DVD (it's the Home Premium 64bit disc). Hope that was the right thing to do?
    Yes.
    So let me get this straight. I can either use this DVD directly on a superdrive plugged in to MBP, or else burn a copy to the USB stick.
    MBP will not install from an external SuperDrive due to Windows installer limitations, because it has no driver for the SuperDrive.
    How exactly do I do the latter since my own DVD reader right now is by remote disc on my iMac?
    Create an ISO using the following procedure on the iMac and then copy it over the network to the MBP or create an ISO by attaching the SuperDrive to the MBP. Use Bootcamp Assistant to point to this ISO when creating the USB for installation.
    From Disk Utility 12.x: Duplicate a disk, CD, or DVD
    Step 7 will give you an ISO, that you can then copy to the MBP.
    Duplicate a CD-RW or DVD-RW
    Disk Utility can’t create usable copies of discs with an incompatible format or discs that are copy-protected. (These include most commercial movie DVDs and audio CDs and some software and data discs.) To copy music from an audio CD to another CD, use iTunes, not Disk Utility.
    To burn a disc, you need an optical drive in your computer or connected directly to your computer. You can’t burn a disc using a remote optical drive.
    Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in Launchpad.
    Insert the CD or DVD disc in the optical drive, and select it in the list at the left.
    Choose File > New > “Disk Image from [disc name].”
    Type a name for the disk image.
    Choose an option from the Image Format pop-up menu.
    Choose “compressed” to create a smaller disk image.
    Choose “read-only” to create a disk image that’s quicker to create and open.
    Click Save.
    After Disk Utility creates the disk image, eject the original CD or DVD.
    Select the disk image in the list at the left, and choose Images > Burn.
    When the Burn Disc dialog appears, insert a blank CD or DVD, and then click Burn.
    You can continue using the disk image to create as many duplicate discs as you need.

  • I never received an installation disk with my iMac. I do require one now. How do I get it?

    Hello everyone,
    My wife and I purchased an iMac about 1,5 years ago. Perhaps 2. And everything worked perfectly. We even got the iPad 3 to go with and next month an iphone 5.
    However, since a few weeks my mail didn't respond anymore. Did not open, didn't do anything anymore. I found a solution and had it working again.
    NOW, it's jPhoto that is not responding anymore. Though only on MY account. We have two accounts on the system, but with my wife it is working. Just not on mine.
    I have found Disk Utilities and did a permissions repair. Which worked. I think... But then the disk repair does not. I can verify the disk but not repair it. It requires a reboot from the Mac OS X installation disk.
    I never received one. Was I supposed to get one with my iMac? Or should I make one? Can I still make one with the problems I am having? Or am I copying the problems to that disk?
    Can anyone enlighten me?
    Thanks,
    The Demacker Family.
    PS: We did update to iOS 10.6 a while ago.

    In the meantime, if you really are on 10.6, you can try and repair the drive by using these options, both explained here. Safe Boot and fsck from single user mode.

  • Time Capsule: disk can't be found

    We're using a 2TB Time Capsule with two MBPs, one running Snow Leopard and the other Lion. We've been using the TC happily for about two years. Now, suddenly, backups are failing because the disk can't be found.
    Salient points:
    * No configuration has changed since the time it was working fine - that includes passwords, network settings etc.
    * When trying to back up, an error pops up saying: "The backup disk could not be found. Make sure the backup disk is connected or open Time Machine preferences to select a different backup disk."
    * The name of the TC appears in the sidebar in Finder, but clicking on it shows 'Connection failed'. If I try 'Connect as...' I get the error: "The backup disk could not be found. Make sure the backup disk is connected or open Time Machine preferences to select a different backup disk."
    * Using AirPort Utility, I have no problem seeing the TC. I can also see the disk details. I've even reformatted the disk from here.
    * There's no network problem reaching the TC.
    * I've updated the firmware on the TC and rebooted it several times.
    * From System Preferences -> Time Machine I have tried using Select Disk.... It shows the TC disk as an option by any attempt to select it produces: "There was a problem connecting to the server <name of TC>.local"
    Is it possible the TC is failing?

    TC is connected to my existing wifi.
    Does this mean you are using join a wireless network as connection?? If so that is proven over and over to be flakey.. and why it is a hidden option. Plug the TC directly into the main router by ethernet. Use it either by ethernet or by wifi, but ethernet is definitely the preferred method.
    Extend a wireless network to another apple router is different and much better configuration.
    There is no magic bullet to the problem.
    Hope this helps others and obviously hoping someone might shed some light on root cause of this issue.
    Thanks
    Root cause is clearly poor network stability since Snow Leopard and TC firmware 7.5.2 which I have run for ages and ages with zero issues.. but as soon as I play with later TC firmware, I run into problems.. Apple made a major change to SMB and AFP protocol in Lion. So far Apple have not fessed up. But if you check the logs.. which of course you cannot from 6.1 airport utility.. you will find a series of disconnections of AFP.. but again I am not sure if that is cause or effect.
    If you want to pursue this to the end.. which might help but still not fix it.. I am happy to follow the thread "all the way." Most people give up rather quickly. This is a network hard nut .. you are not going to get silver bullet.. as it is clearly worse for some than others.
    Stuff I need..
    What OS is the computer running? Is it clean installed or upgrade? This is important for wireless in particular as Mountain Lion does not work properly on lots of computers with upgrade installs.
    Explain the whole network layout? Mode the TC is running in.
    And as a first step for you.. I do assume you are running ML otherwise you could just install 5.6 utility.
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
