Can I use a 10.4 install DVD on my iMac 333?

I have a 333mhz iMac with slot loading CDR and a USB external 4X CDR. I have the retail 10.4 installation DVD, but I have no way to use it to install the software. I can take the DVD to Kinko's where they have newer machines that will open the DVD and make images from it, but I'm not sure I can get the installation software onto CD's so I can use it.
Is there a way to do this or do I have to go back to Apple to get 10.4 on CD media?
I appreciate any advice or ideas about how to overcome this problem.

Thomas welcome to the discussions.
Your best bet is to exchange the DVD to a CD. Apple offers both, and as you state the DVD is not going to work for you.
Be sure you have a look at this link as well.

This link also offers the Tiger CD.

  • I own PSE 10 installed on my MacBook Pro.  Can I use the disc to install it on new iMac?

    Have PSE 10 installed on my MacBook Pro.  Can I use the discs to install it on my new iMac?  also considering PSE 11 and Lightroom 4. Comments?

    Yes you can install it on your new Macintosh.  If it does not have an optical drive then you can copy the contents of the installation media to a USB drive and then install the software from there.

  • Can I use 2011 OS X Install DVD for a 2006 OS X macbook pro with OS X 10.4

    I've got a 2006 Macbook Pro with OS X version 10.4.11 which is exceedingly slow and has parental control software on it that's wreaking havoc (its defunct Kids Gogogo, by the way).  I'm wonder if I can use the install DVD from my new 2011 Macbook Pro to do a fresh install on the old Macbook Pro.
    Thanks!

    No.
    The grey disks are hardware model specific with their own drivers.
    Just buy the $29 10.6.3  Retail Disk from Apple and Software update.
    10.6.8 is the best for that machine due to it's age, don't go with 10.7

  • Can I use Macbook OS X install disc on old iMac?

    I just bought a used Intel iMac and have the OS X Leapord discs from my Macbook. The iMac has OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger). What would happen if I took the discs that came with my Macbook and put them in the iMac I just bought? Could I update to Leapord with now problems? I don't dare until I have talked to someone who knows more than me.
    iMac specs:
    OS X 10.4.11
    2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    Macbook specs:
    OS X 10.6.6
    2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    2.5 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    Thank you!

    Hi - if the disks that came with the Macbook are grey, they are the restore disks that are specific to your Macbook. To install Leopard/Snow Leopard on the used iMac you will need a full retail version of the the OS - a disk with a large X and a picture of large cat that bites on it.

  • HT5639 Can I use Boot Camp to install Linux on my MacBook Pro?

    Can I use Boot Camp to install Linux on my MacBook Pro?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Boot Camp wasn't designed to install Linux. Apart from that, the Boot Camp version included in OS X Mountain Lion will ask you to insert a Windows 7 or Windows 8 DVD in order to run Boot Camp, as far as I know.
    Apple doesn't support Linux on Macs, but it works properly on Macs. There are a lot of how-to's in the Internet about the steps to install Linux and the different possibilities you have. Also, what distribution do you want to install on the computer? You should also consider the option to install Linux on a virtual machine

  • Can I use my original aperature install disc to install on my new computer? not using old one any longer.

    How can I use my original aperature install disc to install application on my new computer? I am not using my old computer and don't want to have to repurchase this application.

    You are  allowed to do this. Are you asking how to do it? Just put it in the DVD drive and install like you did the first time. You'll need the serial number included with the DVD's.

  • Can i use this download and install on multiple computers?

    Can i use this download and install on multiple computers?

    I assume you're talking about the Lion installer?  If so, yes, you're allowed to use it on any machines authorized with your Apple ID (which I believe means a maximum of five machines).  This is, of course, meant for family use...  I'm not sure about business use, but I'd suspect you need one copy per machine at a business.  If you're in that situation, you may want to wait for the $69 Lion flash drive Apple will be releasing next month sometime, as that won't be tied to an Apple ID.  But check with Apple to be sure on that.

    Where can I download a macbook pro install dvd for my Macbook pro 2.2 because i lost mine...

    I don't think you can actually download the install DVD. If you call Apple they can send you the install DVD for a nominal fee +S&H. You will need to provide them with the serial number for your Mac to see if it's registered to you.

  • My IPOD is already synced to iTunes.  My friend just acquired an iPhone and he wants to purchase an app through my iTunes.  Can he use my iTunes to install the app to his iPhone without screwing up my IPOD information already on my iTunes?

    My IPOD is already synced to iTunes.  My friend just acquired an iPhone and he wants to purchase an app through my iTunes.  Can he use my iTunes to install the app to his iPhone without screwing up my IPOD information already on my iTunes?  Also, how does he install ONLY that app on his iPhone without syncing my music also?  I haven't done this before with just an app.  Thanks.

    Since you and your friend aren't married or in the same household (I assume you wouldn't have referred to this person as "my friend" otherwise), what you want to do is not permitted by the terms of use of the iTunes Store.
    Your friend should create his own Apple ID. He can use your computer; just have him log into your computer with a user account you create just for him, not your own user account. Doing it that way is almost like having your friend use a different computer, since both Mac OS X and recent versions of Windows do a pretty good job of segregating the data of multiple user accounts.
    He can then purchase the app using iTunes and sync it to his iPhone. When he's done, he should log out of your computer.
    However, be aware that there is no reason to purchase an app using iTunes on a computer and to then sync it to the iPhone. Your friend can use the App Store app that's installed on the iPhone by default in order to download and install any app he likes from the iTunes App Store.

    Thanks Niel. Can you tell me how to learn whether my DVD is Mac OS X server 10.5 or 10.6?
    That info is not in Info. The disk was created Aug 2004, so it seems very unlikely.
    I guess I have to ask Yamaha for an upgrade/replacement. It has not been easy to reach Yamaha support. Suggestions welcome -

    F. McLion is correct. Note also that you're expected to have LR on a maximum of two machines, on which you can have only one copy at a time running.

    There is one exception to that rule ... If you purchase Lr4 from the Mac App Store ... you can have it installed on up to 5 computers that you own and regeistered to your Apple ID as per the MAS EULA ...

    Greeting all,
    I am trying to find out if there is a cable that can be used to connect a vhs player to an iMac? I have some old tapes that I would like to transfer and convert to dvd.
    Thanks

    If you have access to a digital video camera that has pass thru capability you can use it in lieu of the ADVC110.  Plug the VCR into the camera and the camera into the Mac and import into iMovie.

    Yes, if you use an application like Genie Timeline Pro, which was designed for this type of purpose.  Genie Timeline will make a complete copy of your Dell on the first backup. After that, it will only backup the changes that have occurred since the last backup.

  • Can i use a belkin wireless g router with an iMac

    can i use a belkin wireless g router with an imac

    It will work. The wireless card in iMacs (recent ones) work with n, g, and b networks. The g protocol is slower (54 mbs) versus n (130 mbs up to 300 mbs). My employer has hundreds of such access points and has been updating them all to n, but there are still some g routers they haven't gotten to, and they work fine. 54 mbs is not bad, it's about 5 megabytes/sec roughly. Typical actual throughput is lower than these numbers by ~ 50%, so doing a large Mac OS update download of 300 Megabytes would take about ~ 2 minutes with a g router, and maybe a bit less than 1 minute with an n router.
