  • Is it possible to upgrade a G4 Xserve with an ISO image of a Leopard DVD?

    I have a G4 Xserve (tray load) with only a CD drive.  Leopard is on DVD only. I created an ISO image of the Leopard DVD but it will not work. Not sure why. I copied it to the Hard Drive of the Xserve and also tried it from an external drive (not booted from that drive however). 
    Any suggestions?  Was trying to avoid booting into target disk mode.  I only have an Intel laptop and not sure this would work anyway either.
    All assistance is appreciated.

    Did not work for me. Tried copying it directly to Xserve desktop, to a partitioned drive, to an external firewire drive.  Nothing.
    Sharing out the laptop DVD drive and booting to target mode did work, however. Very very VERY slow, like over 3 hours slow, but it worked.
    All up and running now.
    thanks again,

  • My mac book air can't start installation, because i use windows installation in DOS to make partion, now no mac os on it. How to get back the mac os? i have a window based iso image from a friend, because in my country there is no Apple service.

    It sounds like you destroyed your boot partition and the recovery partition.  Depending on it's age, your MacBook Air might be able to do a net boot.  Plug and ethernet connection into it and attempt to boot.  If it has the right firmware, it will find a net boot configuration on the net and boot that.  Then it will give you a Recovery Partition like display and allow you to reinstall the OS X version that came with it.... assuming that it was Lion or ML.  If your computer came with Snow Leopard, then even the net boot won't work. 
    At that point you need a bootable USB Key, or an external DVD drive AND a Snow Leopard installation DVD. 
    An Apple Store, if there is one nearby, MAY be able to get you going again.  However, whatever is on the SSD now will be toast too.

  • Can't burn iso image

    I used to be able to burn an iso image from the context menu by clicking on 'Burn "*" to Disc...', inserting a disc and let it burn. Now when I try to burn an iso image by using the context menu a box pops up saying 'Are you sure you want to burn the contents of "Untitled Disc" to a disc'. If I click yes, it burns the iso image as a file onto the disc.
    Anyone know why?

    When I use disk utility everything works fine. But when I control + click on an iso, cdr, or dmg it puts the iso on the disc as a file. It just started doing this a couple days ago. Its a huge hassle to have to go to disk utility everytime I want to burn a disc

  • Installing iso images from CD

    Very green user to Solaris, I use Linux. I've heard so much about Solaris that I wanted to try it. I burned the iso images to CD. Must I boot from CD to install or do something else?
    This is Solaris 10 on the x86 platform.
    Please reply to [email protected]
    Thanks very much,

    I upgraded my CD buring software today. Now I am allowed to burn ISO images. I did not get the option to burn ISO images before I upgraded the software.
    I just burned one, will try the rest in the AM.
    Thanks for the response,

  • Burn ISO image not boot

    Does any one have this experience? I tried to download PowerPC version Linux and FreeBSD ISO image to burn a CD or DVD disc in my MacBook Pro, using Disk Utility. But the disc cannot boot on my old iBook. I tried many disc including DVD-R, CD-R and CD-RW. All are not work. After that, I tried to use Toast to do it. That's OK. I am sure that the download ISO is correct with checksum. But I am not sure it is problem of MacBook Pro or Mac OS X 10.4.5. Any experience.
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    I have had a similar problem: burned iso images refuse to boot on my old iMac 333MHz machine. Occasionally I have gotten lucky, and my burned disc boots. Usually, it spins up several times and then the computer gives up and boots to the default system.
    The problem, I believe, is that my system was put out before cd writers were common on apple hardware and so it doesn't recognise burned discs unless I follow very strict ISO9660 rules: I think Toast is better about following these rules.

  • I have Office 2011 which includes Word.  Ever since downloading Mavericks, when I try to send a two-page word document, some recipients get only one page.  Also sometimes when I burn an image from iPhoto on to a disc, only part of the image appears.  Why?

    I have Office 2011 which includes Word.  Ever since downloading Mavericks, when I try to send a two-page Word document by email, some recipients get only one page.  Also when burning an image from iPhoto (usually no larger than 1mb) on to a disc, only part of it appears.  It appears to have been magnified so that only a part of the image appears.  Can anyone enlighten me as to what is happening?  And how to fix it??

  • ArchDL -- Download Latest Arch Linux ISO Image from Mirror

    Hey guys, here is my ArchISO script. To download latest version of iso image from a mirror. I will add more countries/mirros ones I have time. Right now there is only "United States" mirrors. Enjoy.

    Really? This script is to download the iso, right? so, maybe I'm wrong, but I think downloading the iso and install it to an usb has nothing to do.
    Or are you going to create another script to do that?
    Anyway, about the downloading script.
    What if it parsed the download page, to get all links listed there? With something like:
    curl -s 'https://www.archlinux.org/download/' |sed -n '/id="download-mirrors"/,/\/div/ {/href/ s/.*href="\([^"]*\).*/\1/p; /h5/ s/.*<h5.*> \([^<]*\).*/\1/p}'
    You could get the list of links.
    Also, check this: http://grulos.blogspot.mx/2007/10/find- … irror.html
    Is an script to find the fastest mirror from a list of urls.
    To be really useful the script, it would be better if it autoselected the fastest mirror for you, instead of waiting for you to tell it which mirror to use.
    So, what you think?

  • Can't burn .ISO image with k3b/brasero on DVD-RW disc.

    I don't understand what's going wrong here, so I hope someone can help me.
    I have created an .ISO image (of a video) using DVDstyler.
    (1) DVDstyler will burn it to a DVD-RW without any problems.
    (2) I can burn it from the command line (growisofs etc.)
    (3) I can burn it to a DVD-R from any application (DVDstyler, K3b, Brasero)
    K3B and Brasero will write data to a DVD-RW any without problems
    But, when I try to burn the dvd.iso to a DVD-RW disc with either k3b or Brasero, they fail with various  error messages.
    For example, K3B's debugging output is as follows

    as far as i can see, problem is with

  • Disk Utility fails to create image from double layer DVD

    I burned a double-layer DVD using iDVD. It plays fine on the mac and on set-top DVD players. However, when I try to create an image of the DVD using Disk Utility, I get "Can't create image 'name.cdr' (input/output error)". I've tried re-burning the original disk, but it gets the same error when trying to create an image. I've also tried each of the image types, all with the same result.

    I was having similar problems, although I don't think my issues was related to a double-layer DVD. What worked for me was selecting File > New > Disk Image from Folder. Select the DVD in the file open/save dialog with the same options you used before (e.g., DVD/CD master, etc).

  • ?Burning ISO images for booting on intel.

    I have a couple of iso images I'm trying to burn (DVD) as bootable on my iMac. I did it once before under 10.5.8, but for can't remember what I did. Images are vmware ESXi image and a windows server 2008 image. Just used what is on OS X. Do not have any 3rd party software.
    Thanks for your help

    Use Disk Utility. Drag the .iso file to the sidebar, click it once, then press Burn in the toolbar.

  • Burn ISO image

    I am trying to burn an ISO image to a dvd.
    When I use Disk Utilities to burn camptune iso image it says "Unable to burn. (not recognized).
    I have also tried dragging iso image onto dvd and burning that way, but all it puts is an alias.
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated,

  • Problem to burn iso image with disk utility

    hi,
    i burnt an iso image file on a cd using disk utility.
    I checked the md5 of the burn, and found it is different than the original iso file.
    how do i create an EXACT iso image burn?
    more details:
    i downloaded file.iso from the web, inserted a blank CD, opened disk utility, chose "burn", then located the image, and confirmed.
    after the disk utility announced "success", i wanted to check that the md5 of the burnt cd matches the original. so i used "dd if=/dev/disk1 of=~/file.dd" but i got a completely different file than the original file.iso...
    not only that the md5 not match (which could be due to some extra 0 bytes), but i even compared the two files using xxd, and they look similar, but every now and then file.dd (=copy of the brunt CD) has a extra chunk of garbage bytes (and then the files are again the same, and then another chunk of garbage, etc.)
    so how do i create a 1:1 burn of file.iso?

    The problem here is that most Mac disc utilities, including the built-in Disk Utility, take a different approach when it comes to image burning. Instead of telling the program you want to burn an image, then choosing the file, you're supposed to do the reverse: You choose the file, then tell the program you want to burn it. So, to burn an ISO image to disc, here's what to do:
    1.Insert a blank disc.
    2.Start Disk Utility.
    3.From the File menu, choose Open Disk Image and select the ISO to be burned.
    4.In the list of volumes, you will now see an item representing the ISO file.
    5.Select it.
    6.Click the Burn button and follow the instructions.

  • Ich kann ein ISO-Image nicht auf eine DVD - RAM brennen, wieso?

    Hallo,
    erst einmal vielen Dank für jegliche Hilfe und Antwort.
    Ich verzweifle bald! Ich habe heute eine DVD RAM gekauft mit 4,7 GB Speicherkapazität. Zudem habe ich ein ISO-Image von Windows 7 Ultimate, etwa 3,19 GB groß. Ich wollte diese auf die DVD brennen, aber es funktioniert nicht mit Bordmitteln. Was mache ich falsch? Gibt es andere Programme, die ich nutzen kann? Was muss ich tun um Windows auf meinem MacBook Pro 13" zu nutzen?
    Das MacBook Pro ist hardwaretechnisch nicht verändert worden, im Grunde alles so wie er am Anfang war. Einzig und allein Updates sind gezogen worden.
    Vielen Dank im Vorraus.
