Can't install OS 10.4.6 on my imac 5.1 with the install dvd.

I borrowed the install disk from a friend and tried to format the HD and start up from the new OS but it doesn't work. Is the disk specific to my friend's computer or is my computer too old to support the new OS? How can I format and start up my computer without having to use my older OS version install dvds?

I just wanted to start it from Leopard again instead of my Tiger disks, but I no longer have the retail Leopard dvd.
Well, what was really confusing about your post was its title (Can't install OS 10.4.6...) where you implied you wanted to (re)install a version of Tiger!
I was going to question you why you wanted to do that but I figured you knew what you wanted.  If you don't have your original installer disks then you need to acquire the retail installer.

    I have recently acquired Lightroom 5 as part of a Canon camera purchase. I currently have Lightroom 4 so would like to install Lightroom 5 as an upgrade. However, having gone through the install process, Lightroom 5 has installed separately. So please can you tell me how to re-install Lightroom 5 as an upgrade to Lightroom 4 instead?

    Upgrades do not replace their older versions and even if they did you did not purchase an upgrade (which is simply a discounted version of a full version).  If you want to get rid of Lightroom 4 go ahead

  • Hi im having huge problems trying to install flash for my mac 10.5 imac, iv gone through the internet and tried all of the solutions, everytime i try to install flash it says cant read the download file, or it just wont install, anybody plz help!

    hi im having huge problems trying to install flash for my mac 10.5 imac, iv gone through the internet and tried all of the solutions, everytime i try to install flash it says cant read the download file, or it just wont install, anybody plz help!
    iv unistalled flash, iv checked plug ins it just wont work,

    It would have been a great help to know precisely what Mac you have, so some of the following may not apply:
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
    (If you are running Mavericks: After years of fighting malware and exploits facilitated through Adobe's Flash Player, the company is taking advantage of Apple's new App Sandbox feature to restrict malicious code from running outside of Safari in OS X Mavericks.)
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
    When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
    If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
    You can also try these illustrated instructions from C F McBlob to perform a full "clean install", which will resolve the "Blocked Plug-in" message when trying to update via the GUI updater from Adobe.
    Use the FULL installer for 12.0.0.44:  Flash Player 12 (Mac OS X)
    And the instructons are here: Snow Leopard Clean Install.pdf
    (If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
    Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

  • I just bought a Macbook Air and a usb super dive.  How do I install MS Office 2003 on it?  It won't launch the install when I load the disk in the superdrive.

    I just bought a Macbook Air and a usb super dive.  How do I install MS Office 2003 on it?  It won't launch the install when I load the disk in the superdrive.

    A 2003 MS office sounds like a Windows version.  A 2004 MS Office that was Mac compatible can not be run natively on a new MBA since the Lions do not run PPC applications.  You will have to get a newer edition of MS Office that is compatible with your new MBA.
    Ciao.

  • How do I install my LG Super Multi BLADE Mac compatible external drive without the install disc?

    I can't find my install disc! How do I install my LG Super Multi BLADE Mac compatible external drive without the install disc?

    You don't have installer discs with that model. What do you need to do? USB and Thunderbolt external drives do not require any special software. If you need to partition and format them, then use Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.

  • Can I upgrade to OS X Lion, and then reformat my computer with the OS X CD?

    Can I upgrade to OS X Lion, and then reformat my computer with the OS X CD? Because if I reformating my mac with the regualr OS X CD, would that erase the Lion? Since I just donwloading the Lion, and don't really have a CD for it.

    If you install Lion then erase the drive that will erase Lion. To purchase and download Lion you must first install Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later to access the App Store where you purchase and download the Lion installer. You might read this before:
    Make Your Own Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
    4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that  you can use without having to re-download Lion.

  • OK, I've downloaded Firefox 4.0, but there is no "continue" button to proceed with the "install" process! How do I install this update???

    OK, I've downloaded Firefox 4.0, but there is no "continue" button to proceed with the "install" process! How do I install this update???

    After saving the file which is likely called "Firefox Setup 4.0.1.exe" you need to run it to install Firefox 4.
    If you do not clear the downloads from the download manager, you can run the installer from the downloads manager. Open the download manager, then right-click on the Firefox setup file and select Open. As soon as you start running the setup file, close Firefox. You need to do this so that the setup file can replace the files in the Firefox installation directory.

    I'm having the opposite problem.  All those listed in the screen shot as "Install" have been installed.
    Deleting OPM.db and downloading and installing CreativeCloudInstaller.dmg did not fix the issue.

  • Can I factory restore an IMAC Late 2009 without the orginal DVD's?

    Can I factory restore an IMAC Late 2009 without the orginal DVD's? I was given a computer and want to remove the previous owners user login and passwords. I want a fresh install like it was bought new.

    You can create a new Admin User in System Preferences then delete the current User. This will give you a clean User but the base system files might have extensions etc installed.
    If you upgrade to Mavericks, then you would wipe the computer giving you exactly what you want.
    While your computer might meet the requirements, also check your applications for Mavericks compatibility here:  http://roaringapps.com/
    Make sure all your software like Microsoft Office and Adobe CS Suites is compatible with Mavericks.
    OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
    To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
              ▪          iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
              ▪          MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)

              ▪          MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
              ▪          Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
              ▪          Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
              ▪          Xserve (Early 2009)
    Your Mac also needs:
              ▪          OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
              ▪          2 GB or more of memory  <--- I suggest 4GB as minimum

    Before you make an apple ID with the new email, go to appleid.apple.com.  login with your old email and password. change your old email to your new one. Now you can use your new email as your apple id, but beware if you go through the process of creating a new appleid with your new email address you will not be able to attach your old account to your new email.

  • Can't get Netflix to recognize an iTunes purchase keeps coming us with "the credit card information that you entered does not appear to be valid

    Can't get Netflix to recognize an iTunes purchase keeps coming us with "the credit card information that you entered does not appear to be valid'? Netflix says not them?

    The message you received indicates that the phone is locked to a carrier other than the one for which you have a SIM. You'll need to take the issue up with Apple. Nothing you do with iTunes is going to make a difference. 
    I'm quite surprised that the UK Apple Store replaced a U.S. purchased phone. They usually won't.
    Best of luck.
