Can I use DVD to install os 10.3 on a tangerine?

I have bought a tangerine iBook for my wife. I should get it soon. I will upgrade memory and hard drive. But I need to find out if I can use my OS 10.3 DVD install disks on it. If not, can I use my PowerBook to install it on the Tangerine? I do not belive the iBook has a Firewire on it. Any help is appreciated.

If you're ambitious you could put the new drive in your powerbook, load the OS, then take it out and place it in the ibook. I'm not sure as to what effect the installing of 'Powerbook specific' system components will have on the clamshell however - I can't see there being a problem though. If your ibook surprisingly comes with a firewire port then you could install to it via target disc mode. All this of course assuming your DVD allows it.

  • Can I use my iMac Install Disc on Macbook Pro?

    Hi, all.  I was given a friend's old Macbook Pro and I'd like to put Boot Camp on it, but the Boot Camp instructions say I need an OSX Leopard install disc to do it.  Naturally, I just recently purged my own software binder and threw away all of my OSX discs except the one that came with iMac I recently purchased.  "Why would I need them any more?" said I.  Doh.
    I have no idea what cat Apple is up to now, but the Macbook is running 10.5.8 and the install disc from my iMac is 10.6.7.  My questions:
    1) Can I use my iMac install disc on my Macbook Pro, which is about 3-4 years old?
    2) Does OS 10.6.7 qualify as Leopard?  If not, will it work for what I'm trying to do?
    3) Do I need to update the Macbook OS to 10.6.7 to be able to use that disc for the Boot Camp install?
    Any information or advice would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    The only thing I'd add to this is that at one point in time you could go to an Apple store and purchase Lion on a USB stick.
    If your MBP was compatible and you could find one of those you could boot to it, install from it then setup bootcamp.
    Also if you are thinking bootcamp, also consider VMWare Fusion or Parallels which allow you to run Windows while still in OS X.

  • Can I use DVD+R disks with my MacBookPro, OS10.7.5, and iMovie 6 and IDVD 7.1.2

    Can I use DVD+R disks with my MacBookPro, OS10.7.5, and iMovie 6 and iDVD 7.1.2  ???? I have always used DVD-R.  I made a mistake in ordering and got 100 DVD+R .  Would it be advisable to return them?

    Yes, you can use them.  As I recall the only concern is that they may not work in DVD players manufactured before 2002.

  • Can I use AAMEE to install FrameMaker 11?

    Can I use AAMEE to install FrameMaker 11?   We are starting to use fm11 in our company.   I have a volume license, but when I install it want's me to go out to the adobe site and register.  This is not going to work for a few reason s so I stumpled upon AAMEE and it let me build a package authenticating with my volume license and my adobe id.  Looked great...  Until I tried an install.   Starts the install and then just exists.   Should I be able to use AAMEE this way? 
    Thanks, Mike

    Thanks Jeff...  I'm not really interested in managed silent installs.   Just have installs that are not network connected as well as short projects where it is installed and then uninstalled in a few weeks.   So registering individuals does not make a lot of sense.  Anyone done this?   Our current fm8 installs have an option to skip registration whereas fm11 does not.

  • Can I use my original Install disc (PPC with OS 10.4)to repair my harddisc with OS 10.5.8

    can I use my original Install disc (PPC with OS 10.4)to repair my harddisc with OS 10.5.8?

    Is the 10.5.8 Drive also PPC?
    Try Verify Disk first if so.
    You might be better of trying this...
    Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
    (Space between fsck AND -fy important).
    Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...

    I have the exact same problem. I have a 80GB Ipod Classic and i'm using Vista. My Itunes works perfectly until I plug the Ipod in. Same thing with the My computer Page. I've tried to restore settings on my ipod, now it is empty but still shows 12GB taken, I don't understand why.

  • I've downloaded Lion. I have a boot disk. Can I use it to install on another machine?

    I downloaded Lion from the Mac App store and it's working 100%. Love it.
    After downloading and before installing, I copied the installESD.dmg (I think that's the correct filename) to a DVD (as per all the instructions out there to create a boot disc). I did NOT copy the entire "Install Lion App" to the DVD.
    My question is: if a friend buys lion from the app and then cancels the download, can he use my boot disk to install lion as an upgrade? The reason I'm asking is that his Internet connection is rubbish and he can't download it. Presumably if I copy the dmg file to his hard disk I can run it that way?

    Actually, you can burn a DVD or USB (8GB) thumb drive and let him boot and install from it. Or, you can actually run the InstallESD.dmg file from his machine. I've done both and Lion installs.
    Personally, I would burn a DVD or thumb drive so you always have it.
    Burn the InstallESD.dmg to a bootable DVD.
    Launch Disk Utility and click the Burn button
    Select the InstallESD.dmg file from your desktop as the image to burn. Insert a blank DVD and wait for the the image to be burned.
    Burn the InstallESD.dmg to a bootable USB thumb drive.
    Open Disk Utility and drag the InstallESD.dmg file to the left side pane. Go to the Partition tab ad select 1 Partition from the drop down menu. Choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) on the left. Click the Options button under the partition table and choose GUID Partition Table. You will need this to make the drive bootable on a Mac. Hit the Apply button when ready to format the drive (it will erase everything on the drive).
    Click on the Restore tab and drag the InstallESD.dmg file to the Source. Drag the USB partition to the Destination. Hit the Restore button and it will create the bootable USB drive with the OS X Lion installer

  • Can I use an iMac install disk on another iMac?

    My wife just bought a 2010 iMac (3.06 GHz Intel Core i3), and it's identical to mine, but it didn't come with the 10.6 install disk.
    Can she use mine?
    I can't seem to find a solid answer.
    Thank you

    No.  System DVDs are machine specific.  Your wife needs to get the system DVDs from the place she purchased the comp from.  Older Macs are not to be sold w/o them per Apple's license agreement.
    You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
    If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html Another resource:  International Support Phone #s.

  • Can I use my Tiger install disc on more than one computer

    I have a Powermac G4 15" and an imac G4 17". The p-mac has Tiger and the Imac has Panther. Can I use the install disc that came with the p-mac to install Tiger on the imac?
    Thanks for a great forum!
    G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    PowerMac G4s never were 15". Don't you mean Powerbook G4 15"? If you mean Powerbook G4 15" and it came with Tiger, then the answer is no, as my FAQ explains:
    http://www.macmaps.com/upgradefaq.html#SYSTEMSPECIFIC
    If you mean a PowerMac G4 with a 15" Apple LCD, it may have come with an older operating system. Use the articles I link to on:
    http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#IDENTIFY
    to identify your Mac.
    And use
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25517
    to determine which operating system came with that Mac.
    If both machines came with pre-Mac OS X 10.4, they can use a Mac OS X 10.4 Family pack if they meet specs for the installation.

  • Can I use my MacMini install disks to reinstall on my iMac?

    I'm trying to use Boot Camp so I can create a 60GB partition on my iMac and install Win 7. However, I'm getting the infamous error about not being able to move files. So, it appears my only remedy is to wipe the internal drive on the iMac and reinstall from my Time Machine backup.
    Unfortunately, my Snow Leopard install disks (family pack) is at my parent's house. However, I have a new MacMini that has Snow Leopard install disks. Before I go and mess up my iMac, can I use those install disks from the MacMini to reinstall from my TimeMachine backup?
    I'm guessing it's either going to fail right away or not. If it doesn't fail, even if the install disks don't have the iMac drivers, the drivers should be in my backup... I think???
    While I'm thinking about it too, if I am able to get to a point where I can use Boot Camp to install Win 7, I'll still need SL install disks. Will the MacMini disks work here too? Suppose I should post that under the Boot Camp category too.
    Thanks!

    I also tried my SL upgrade disk I got for my MBP. When it's loaded while OS X is running on the iMac, it throws and error that it can't work on a machine that does not have 10.5 or higher installed (which is odd because 10.6.2 is installed). However, when I restart with the c key down, the install starts off fine... I didn't let it continue far since I was just experimenting here.
    I'm hoping, though, the SL upgrade disk will be sufficient for loading the Boot Camp drivers... trying that next. If not, I think I can get away with the older 10.5 install disk which'll load older drivers, but I'm thinking I can get the latest drivers through Apple SW Update.
    Thanks

  • Can I use DVD SP for an interactive presentation?

    Howdy.
    I have a client who wants a standalone presentation that can be played on a display at a tradeshow booth, but also wants it to be a speaker support presentation that pauses on each slide.
    I'm thinking about doing it in Flash, but I was wondering if I could do this in DVD SP.
    I could create a main menu with the two versions listed, fine.
    But on the speaker support version, it needs to play and pause each slide and then continue to the next slide when the speaker clicks.
    From my experience with pausing DVD, the interlaced nature makes it look bad paused, so I was thinking that each slide would be a track in DVD SP and I would just have each video (slide) hold on the last frame for a few minutes. I'd have buttons on the screen to go to the next track and the previous track.
    Do you think that will work? Is there a better way?
    The reason I'd prefer to use DVD SP over Flash is you just put a DVD in and it plays whereas Flash has computer/OS support issues and PC screen resolution issues and my client would need a PC in their booth versus just a DVD player.
    Make sense?
    I appreciate any tips or help.
    Thank you!
    Scot

    So I don't see any way to have the remote control jump backwards on tracks. The only way I made it go forward is I put an End Jump at the end of the track and then used the Track Skip Forward button. But this doesn't work to go backwards, obviously.
    I could use chapter markers and put every slide on a single track and jump between chapter markers easily, but it doesn't pause at the end of each chapter.
    Am I missing anything obvious to create a "slide" presentation with motion graphics in DVD SP?
    Thanks!

  • Can I use MacBook Pro install disc for boot disk on Macbook 4,1?

    Hi,
    I have a White MacBook 4,1 running OSX 10.5.8. I'm trying to clone my HD and ran into a filesystem error. Ran Disc Utility and had same errors. Now I need to run Disc Utility from Bootdisc but I can't find it. I do however have my newer DVD from my 13" MBP with 10.6.7. Can I use this to boot from and run disc utility to fix error?
    If not, any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Frank

    It might work but it's risky. The MBP installation disks may well not contain the right drivers for the MacBook. It would be better, if at all possible, if you contacted Apple tech support and asked for a new set of disks for your MacBook. They'll send you a set for a reasonable fee. If you can't wait, perhaps there's an Apple Store or other Apple dealer near you that would have a set you could borrow in-store to do the reinstallation.
