Tiger Requirements...
To use Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, your Macintosh needs:
    * A PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
    * Built-in FireWire
    * At least 256 MB of RAM (I recommend 1GB minimum)
    * DVD drive (DVD-ROM), Combo (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) or SuperDrive (DVD-R) for installation
    * At least 3 GB of free disk space; 4 GB if you install the XCode 2 Developer Tools (I recommend 20GB minimum)

Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
    * Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
minimum system requirements
    * 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
Classic/OS9 Apps no longer supported.
Trouble is Apple no longer sells it, check eBay & such for the Retail version, not the Gray Discs...

There are workarounds if the 867MHz CPU is the only hangup...

TROUBLE with Mac OS X Tiger install on G4 iMac 1.25 GHz

Trying to install retail copy of Mac OS X Tiger 10.4 onto an iMac G4 1.25 GHz running OS X 10.3.9. The DVD shows up on the desktop when inserted, but after clicking install and waiting for the reboot, the system just loads OS X 10.3.9 and NOT the 10.4 setup.
Inserting the CD and holding "C" during startup yields the blinking system folder with the question mark.
Apparently no firmware updates are needed and the iMac meets the requirements. Any ideas, suggestions, or workarounds are much appreciated.
I also have a MacBook Pro (Intel, of course), and was wondering if there was any way to use it to install the PPC version of 10.4 on the iMac. (Can I boot the iMac as target disk mode on my MBP and install the PPC version of Tiger onto it that way? I don't know if that will work with the intel/ppc hiccup.)
Someone please tell me how to get this working!

Yes, unless you have the original install disks that came with the computer ( with iLife included) you will have to buy iLife. However, iLife 11 requires an intel processor and snow leopard. If you don't meet those requirements you should try to find an older version. ( usually you can find something on amazon.com)

Buying Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard

Hello,
I am not sure this is the right place to place the question.
As soon as Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard comes out I am buying a Macbook with this new software. The problem is that I have my beloved imac g5 with Mac OS X Tiger, but I want to update it to Leopard.
The question: "Can I buy an extension (like you do when you buy iwork08 for family use) for my imac when I buy the new Macbook with Mac OS X Leopard?"
I would really appreciate your help and/or suggestions. It really would be a big blow to my pocket if I had to buy a whole new program for just one computer. I will be buying iwork 08 for the two.
Thanks!

Since Apple's upgrade policy has not been announced, if there is any, no one here can answer your question truthfully. http://www.apple.com/macosx/ has everything that is known about Leopard to the general public. Until that changes with official upgrade information, you'll have to just wait.
Secondly Amazon already is offering preorder on the Family version of Leopard.
Whether or not Leopard will work on your iMac G5 no one yet knows for sure.
Historically though the disks that came with one Mac model can't be used on a different Mac model of different name or vintage. Whether that changes here, no one knows.
Historically Macs can only run the operating system available at the time they are available, and newer operating systems up to the point the hardware can no longer handle the extras the new operating system offers. So if you wait until Leopard comes out to buy a MacBook, and your third party software has not been tested on the final release of Leopard, you may find incompatibilities. If you must get Leopard, get your new machine once you know that it is compatible with Leopard, but comes with Tiger, if you know all your software is compatible with Intel version of Tiger, or wait until all your third party software you depend on has been tested with the final release of Leopard as it ships and not just the developer preview. Since Leopard has not yet been released, nor have its compatible machines been announced you'd still be guessing when making such a plan.

Will new Intel macs support OSX Tiger?

I work in a testing environment and I need to setup another Tiger computer. We have a few intel macs that have tiger. I need to get another machine and set it up with Tiger. If I purchased a new iMac or mac mini, is there a release of Tiger that will run on these PCs? Also, I have been trying to look for a retail release of Tiger that supports Intel processors. Was a product like this ever shipped?
Thanks.
Kelly

kelly, welcome to Apple Discussions.
Macs can only run an OS version that they shipped with or a higher version. So if you are looking at a new Mac that has Leopard installed, it can't run Tiger. You'll have to buy an older Mac.
You can look at this list of G4 & G5 Mac's specs to find which newest-older model will run on Tiger. http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/index.html

How can I install Mac OS X Snow Leopard on Mac OS X Tiger?

Hello. Can someone tell me how I can install Mac OS X Snow Leopard on Mac OS X Tiger? I have the disk, but when I open the installer, I get a message saying that Snow Leopard could not be installed on my computer and it could only be installed on a Intel-Based Mac. This is a PowerPC Mac, so that makes sense.
So, I'm trying to ask how to make my Mac an Intel-Based Mac so I could install Snow Leopard. Or if I can't do that, I need to know how to install Snow Leopard some other way. Please help.

Just an FYI, the Mac App Store was introduced with Mac OS X 10.6.6. However the rest of what you say is accurate.
10.6.8 is required if you want to upgrade certain Macs beyond 10.7.5 without having to reformat the drive you are installing the operating system on and without having to install some version of 10.7 first.
One can actually install 10.7 or later if you maintain an original copy of the full installer of the operating system in question for your personal use without having to have the prerequisite operating system installed, if the hardware supported it. But that's a discussion for another forum.
For HFTaylor,
Consider buying a used or refurbished Mac with an Intel CPU depending on your needs. Read this tip about the migration of data from PowerPC to Intel before proceeding:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295
and see this tip about used and refurbished Macs*:

Reinstalling Mac OS X Tiger

Hello there,
I just bought my Macbook Pro few days ago and have been doing a lot of reading since then regarding Mac. I am totally new to Mac and have totally no idea on how to use it. But all and all, I am so loving it already and have no regrets eventhough it is costing me half year of my basic salary. AACHAA! and Mac support forum is superb!
However, with this new Mac - I am just too affraid to try out new things or installing new application. I don't have a Mac Suport Care Center here at my town or anywhere close at all (within driving distance). And also no Mac user to share their troubleshooting exprerience (besides my brother who just bought a Macbook Pro also few days ago). Basically, we are all alone. But again, thanks goodness to this forum. I don't felt that lonely anymore as a Mac user.
Anyhow, by fearing of causing more damages towards Mac OS X Tiger with certain application installed - I know I will not be able to exprerience the Macbook Pro to it's best performance. I have been working on my PC (Microsoft Windows XP) for the past 7 years. So hopefully, I will be able to get all my working software in Mac version and work fulltime infront of Mac 24-7.
Therefore, I was wondering if it will be easy for me to do a simple reinstallation with the 2 CD provided together with this purchased of my Macbook Pro (if needed).
1) Does the 2 CD provided will restored Mac OS X Tiger as well?
2) Or it just simply reinstalled a Mac OS X with an older version?
3) If that is the case, will I be able to restored Mac OS X Tiger by easily download the file from this website?
4) What about the drivers? can I somehow backup the driver before I proceed on with the reinstallation and easily have it restored back?
5) Otherwise, is there anywhere I can manually take down the all the drivers?
Of course it is always best not to have it reinstalled. But just in preparation if I ever reach the point of no returned.
I would appreciate it if you can show me how. With the knowledge, I will felt more insured to exlplore more freely into Mac.
Thank you in advance.
Mac forever,
JonGan

1) Does the 2 CD provided will restored Mac OS X Tiger as well?
The two DVDs include a full installer for an Intel version of OS X, all required OS X software, installer for pre-bundled software, and installer for XCode Tools.
2) Or it just simply reinstalled a Mac OS X with an older version?
The OS X installer installs the default version of OS X required for your current MacBook model. If this is not the most recent version then you can update by downloading and installing a Combo Updater (Intel) from Apple's Download Site.
3) If that is the case, will I be able to restored Mac OS X Tiger by easily download the file from this website?
As said previously reinstalling OS X can be done using the DVDs that came with your computer. You cannot download Tiger.
4) What about the drivers? can I somehow backup the driver before I proceed on with the reinstallation and easily have it restored back?
OS X comes with drivers for virtually any peripheral or device. However, proprietary drivers required for third-party peripherals would have to be reinstalled if you reinstall OS X from scratch.
5) Otherwise, is there anywhere I can manually take down the all the drivers?
I have no idea what this question is asking because it is not intelligible.
As the computer comes out of the box there is no need to reinstall OS X. Everything is already pre-installed. As a new user you would be well advised to take the time to thoroughly and carefully read the User Guide that came with the computer as well as the brief introduction to OS X. You may find it helpful to read Switcher 101 Tutorial.
Good sources for shareware and freeware are VersionTracker or MacUpdate. You may also consider buying one or two good introductory books about OS X. Two good choices are *OS X for Dummies* and *Mac OS X: The Missing Manual*.

Can you still buy Mac book pro 2010

Hey all, I have been seriouly thinking of buying Mac Book Pro 2010 model (one with Nvidia GPU in it) I almost bought one few months back, but I couldn't get monthly payment option in Bestbuy.. And I ened up buy Asus laptop lol. As my old desktop cpu was getting old. Anywho.. I use to use Mac long ago in Highschool and they have come a long way since system 7.
I have always wanted a Mac, Tired of mircsoft Bs and all virus/spyware and other crap. Just couldn't afford one.
But hopefully that will be soon.
I have been checking on-line and reading the reviews of the new Mac Book Pro 2011 models. I also notice they are now using ATI/Amd video GPU in then. Most people are not liking them, Being that I am gamer, I do want decent laptop with atlest half decent video card. I have read a lot reviews on older Mac book pro's wih Nvida gpu. I myself like Nvidia over Ati.
Anywho i hope I can still get one before they are gone. My Question is...
I love new i7 Cpu in my Asus has 8 cores in it.. Runs at 1.73 ghz & Boost upto 2.9 Ghz.. (intel core i7 740QM cpu )
I'd love get that same Cpu in Mac book Pro with decent Nvida gpu...
Can I still order or buy Macbook pro with Intel i7 cpu and still have Nvidia Gpu. Even though most Mac stores/ other computer stores that sell Mac have 2011 version with Crapy Ati Cards in then?
Or once they gone, They gone? If I can order one, I just dont want miss out on good laptop.
If anybody knows. Please get back to me, So know if I should be concerned or not. Thank you very much
-Chester

Actaully No...They aren't as good or as fast as Nvidia 330M Gpu..
Older MacBook pro 15.4 inch with Nvidia Gefore GT 330M (2010)
http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-330M.22437.0.html
New Ati/Amd Radeon HD 6490M in Macbook pro 15.4 inch (2011)
http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-6490M.43843.0.html
The older MacBook pro with Nvida Gpu has more memory Bus width.
Faster memory speed and shader speed..
Yes new macbook have faster 4 Core, i7 in them. Where 2010 only
had 2 cores for i5 and i7..
Check your stats for yourself... the new Ati is also only 64 Bit memory..
Thats going create alot bottlenecks and lag..
If I want to play say.. Portal 2, or Starcraft 2. I'm sure it would lag on ATI card..
My current Asus i7 1.73 ghz has better ATI Card then curent 2011 MBP.

Help installing mac os x tiger

so i installed disc one of mac os x tiger on my macbook, and when it asks for disc two and i insert it, it loads all the way, then when my computer is turning on it goes back to the beginning of the install and keeps repeating the process. please help !

Mac OS X Tiger installation quiz!

All,
I got a resetting message with my PowerBook G4 12" and rebooted sevearal times but the message kept coming again. I decided to do the following steps:
a. run a hardware test and it passed complete one
b. re-install the Mac OS X Panther with the install CD after erase and format my HD
c. re-install the Mac OS X Tiger with the CD came with the book.
d. the resetting message with four different languages still showed up when I tried to reboot system every time. I surely can try the safe boot but how I can get my Powerbook back to normal? Should I send it back to Apple center for repair?
Thanks,

Just why were you wanting to install Panther if Tiger came with your machine?
Unless the Panther installer is the retail version there are any number of problems trying to install an OS from a restore disc from another machine. It just does not generally work.
The restore disc(s) that came with your machine are what I would suggest you use to attempt a clean installation. It would be a good idea to initialize (format) the drive (and would not hurt to "zero" it) to get the remnants of anything that might cause a problem off of it.
Is your machine still under warranty? If doing the above does not straighten things out it would probably be best to call AppleCare and see just what they want to do.
Good Luck

Can I upgrade my PowerBook G4 from Mac OS X Tiger to Snow Leopard?

I am running Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11 on my PowerBook G4. Can I upgrade to v10.6 Snow Leopard? Just asking because I never upgraded to v10.5 Leopard. Are there any adverse impacts of doing this for my PowerBook G4?

Hi jjhron;
As Stedman says you can't go to Snow Leopard with your G4 PowerBook but if your PB meets the specs for Leopard you can upgrade to that instead.

Can I install Mac OS X Tiger 10.4 on a dell Optiplex Gx280?

Hi! I have a couple of questions which I can't seem to find the answers too.
1) Can I install Mac OS X Tiger 10.4 on a Dell Optiplex GX280?
2) Can I take the HDD from the aforementioned Dell and place it in my Power Mac G4 Digital Audio? If so, will Tiger still be on it?
3) If I can't install Tiger on my Dell, can I rip the DVD drive out and use that to install?
4) HDD's don't have to be Mac specific, do they?
Thank you for your valuable time,

Hi, hopefully you guys can help me out, I just
purchased a G5 iMac to replace my aging dell desktop,
and now i'm more or less completely os x dependant
(I've had an ibook for a few months now). Anyway, I
have a few questions:
1. Does anyone know of a (free) mail notifier tool,
that will alert me when I recieve new pop3 mail? I
used to use AIM for this in windows
The built in email program does sound an alert for new messages.
2. Anyone know of a good (free, again) IRC client?
iChat works well.
3. I noticed earlier that my screen was flickering,
it seems to have subsided for now, but is that normal
to encounter in a new display? It wasn't really bad
flicker, but I could see it.
No idea.
4. I leave my desktops on 24/7x365, will that be a
problem with this iMac? Display shuts off of course
after 30 mins
You could set the iMac to go to sleep after non use. My Macs are
always sleeping when not in use, waking them up takes seconds.
Unlike windoze, never knew if it would be locked up or not.
5. Should I get the extended warranty? I'm usually
against them, but I am expecting this computer to
last me at least 3 years (for $1300 it better!)
before I upgrade, as I got that much out of a Dell
and from what I understand, Mac's do not age nearly
as fast as Windows pc's.
It is well worth the cost. Never know what might happen. Also
it is good insurance for future upgrades. I traded in my G4 tower
purchased two years ago for 75% of what I paid for it. Apple care
transfers, giving the buyer the remainder of your warranty.
Thank you for any help,

Where do I purchase single user copy of Intel build Mac OS X Tiger?

Hi,
I am planning to reinstall my intel Macbook pro, and I bought a copy of Mac OS X tiger from campus store today.
I did not mention that I have needed an intel build, thought Apple would put intel and powerpc build together.
Obviously I was wrong. The one they gave me is for build for powerpc only, would not work on my mac, neither can not startup from boot.
The disc is issued under label: MA453Z/A.
Before I go to the store tomorrow, I checked the online store and they only sell powerpc build version(MA453Z/A). Where can I purchase Intel based single user Tiger copy?
thanks

Mac Book Pro 17 inch CD Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Apple doesn't produce/sell a Universal Tiger retail install package since Tiger has shipped pre-installed with all Intel Macs.
You need to contact Apple/Apple Care to request a replacement install package for your Mac model and build which will also include all additional software included with your Mac purchase which is not included with a Tiger retail install package. And keep this copy in a safe place this time.
The Leopard retail install package will be produced/sold as Universal since Universal will be required.

Persistent IP Routes in Mac OS X Tiger

Hello
I have a mac book Pro 10.4.8. I try to add static Routes, i was following this post
