Can't reinstall from panther disc

Hi
Safari was trashed on our computer by accident. I was going to reinstall it from our panther install discs but the installer says that the system on the computer is too new. The install disc is version 10.3 the computer is version 10.3.9. I am assuming it is newer because of the automatic updates. Does anyone know how I get the installer to allow me to reinstall safari?
Dual 1 GHz PowerPC G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

You're Welcome Mike!
Are these the updates that you downloaded?
Safari Update 1.3.2,
Safari Update 1.3.1, which, if you currently have version 1.3, must be installed first.
But I'm surprised that Software Update is not reporting them.
And Thank You, for extending the courtesy, of awarding stars in Discussions!

After Photoshop Elements quit working for the second time in three months, I uninstalled it and now cannot get it to reinstall from the disc. Nothing happens when I insert the disc. All I can do is look at the folders and files and see nothing that tells me how to start the installation. Clicking "open with Auto play" gives me irrelevant options, view photos, share, etc. I'm running Windows 8. This program has worked, although buggy, for the past year.

I'm having this issue as well only with a little different twist I guess. I'm transferring the iWorks applications from my Macbook Pro 3,1 with Lion to a new MBP 10,1 running Mountain Lion. I transferred the apps over using DropCopy since the older MBP doesn't have AirPlay. Applications show up but crash upon opening. This is the first install so there are no previous plist, versions or such to delete. All three crashed upon opening every time until I just had to have Keynote and purchased again - although Apple agreed to refund that purchase since my previous version quit working. Any ideas since I don't have any previous plist/versions to delete? Thanks in adavnce for any help you can offer.

FCE 4.0.1 won't open when I click the icon in the Dock or in the Applications icon of FCE. It had been working well but I had trouble when I trashed the reference Scratch disk to a project and I was asked to get it back. I checked all my drives through verify in Disk Utility and a couple needed repair - eventually were given the OK. I then Shut Down and rebooted, I then trashed the FCE App and reinstalled from the Install discs and , finally, I tried opening a FCE project. None of these caused the FCE App to open with Browser, Viewer, Canvas,. Time Line. All that happens is the the first FCE window, the one that says FCE registered to...and the other that says loading AE Effects, Video Effects does show but then nothing except my Desktop with it's various folders and files I also downloaded the Plug In Tom Wolsky suggested to a recent query.
All I can think of is to backup everything to HDs and take this iMac in for a service.It is only six months old - I reckon it will be poor driving by it's proud but unskilled driver!

Don't panic . . . . . yet!
You may not have trashed FCE properly.
Deleting the application icon is useless as there are a number of files hidden elsewhere which may be corrupt.
Download this free app to uninstall FCE completely and then reinstall it.

I know it is called FCS Remover but it also works for FCE.

Can not boot from OSX disc

I recently partitioned my internal drive with an 80 gig partition to run Ubuntu , removed Ubuntu and now can not resize hd to recover the 80 gig that I used , there was a program with this Ubuntu install called rEFIt that was installed for the dual boot , My problem is that Itunes keeps crashing and I have spent somewhere around 8 hours trying to fix this issue and in the process I discovered that I now can not boot from the osx disc but I can boot from the Ubuntu disc , what can I do to correct this issue or is there anything that I can do to correct this and recover the 80 gig that I used ?

The only solution was to erase hd and restore from time machine backup......
According to everything that I have seen , read and tried when you partition the mac hd the way that mac is designed it will lock the hd thus preventing any access even using the startup disc to repair. As far as restoring everything after the erase and reinstall of the OSX that was easy and painless. FOR ANYONE WHO DOES NOT BACKUP THEIR DATA THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD!!!!
Once OSX is reinstalled the migration assistant will ask if you want to restore from a backup , if you have time machine or any other sort of backup simply choose the one you wish to restore from and continue , must admit I was a bit hesitant at first , I must say that everything restored with the exception of some settings that I have had to restore but they were not major settings , after the backup is restored simply run update check and reinstall all updates , may need to do this a couple of times.
Depending on the amount of data you have will determine the length of time for restore (500 gigs about 6 hrs.) but it will restore user account settings , connection settings and network settings.
Hope this will help if anyone has experienced the same problem.

Extracting DVD Player 4 installer from Panther discs

Bugger me, I can't seem to remember the name of the programme that is used to extract the specific installation programmes from the Panther discs. I'm trying to get DVD Player 4 off of the installer (Interactual Player freezes too much.)
Apple's Support site does not list a download of DVD Player that is compatible with Panther, but oddly enough lists a player compatible with Jaguar and Tiger.

Justin:I wonder why I can't download it from the site...I have no idea why not. However, you can pick it off the install CD, thanks to Pacifist.
Good luck.

Can't reinstall from DVD

I had the exact same problem as this guy: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=462176&tstart=0 and I have put a new hard drive in using the iFixit instructions.
The first problem was that the Combo drive wouldn't suck in the install DVD (the Panther disk that came when I bought it), but I seem to have fixed that by resetting the PMU. However, now I've got the disk in there, I can't boot from it - when I press C on startup it just goes to the folder icon with flashing question mark/Mac logo. I reset the PRAM as well for good measure.
Any ideas?

Hi Maryannh,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
You may want to look at...

You may have a loose connection when you replaced your hard drive. You may want to go back and make sure all the hard drive is connected (you may want to replace the ribbon) correctly.
Jon
PS By the way, when you reset the PMU, you reset the PRAM. Your install disc cannot find your hard drive; it may need to be reformatted to HSF+.

Problems starting up from panther discs

Hello! My Mother recently purchased a printer that only works with Mac OS X, but her iMac was only OS 9.2. I thought it'd be easy to upgrade, and purchased a retail version of OS X Panther discs from macresue.com. Well, everytime I try to start up from the first disc it flashes a white screen and then the "?"/mac face. It does that a few seconds and then does a normal start up. It's a iMac G3, Power PC, 400 mhz, 128 RAM (bought from an apple store a year after we purchased the computer.) It has a DVD Rom drive, but not a CD burner or anything like that. I'm pretty sure it should be able to start up the disc. I have the required firmwire update (4.1.9), and the only thing I can think of think of that might cause a problem is the keyboard. It's not an Apple product (kensingston) but the Apple keyboard we have is broken (water spilled on it!) I'm not about to go running to buy a new keyboard, because I'm not sure if that'll even help. I hope someone here can help me figure out what this computer's problem is with the OS X Panther discs?
Thanks,
Belle
iMac G3 Mac OS 9.2.x

Hi Belle, and welcome to the discussions.
First off, 128 MB is the minimum required for Panther; it will run, but it'll be slow. I just finished installing on a 350MHz iMac with 128MB of RAM (I'll be adding more RAM before putting the iMac to use). What you're doing will work - we just have to figure out what's wrong.
1. You say you have the required firmware update. Does that mean it's been installed?
2. From everything I've heard, macrescue.com is pretty reliable, but I just want to verify that you did indeed receive the retail disks. There should be four in the set, three black install disks, each with a large silver X in the middle, and one white XCode Tools disk with a picture of a hammer and blueprint in the middle.
3. Is your RAM a single 128MB module, or two 64MB modules? If you still have the Apple Hardware Test CD that came with the computer, boot from the CD and run a thorough test.
4. Even if your RAM passes the Hardware test, it's possible that something is wrong with it. Panther requires stricter adherence to RAM specifications than earlier operating systems, so the iMac might run perfectly under OS 9, but won't run at all under OSX. If the RAM was purchased from Apple, it should have a lifetime warranty. Take it back to the store and have them test the RAM, or better yet, see if they'll give you a discount on 256MB in exchange.
5. Assuming the firmware has been installed, and the disks are the retail version, check the first install disk for any scratches, fingerprints, or imperfections. Polish the CD with a soft cloth to get it as clean as possible, then try again.
Good luck, and post back with any questions/results.

Can't Boot From Install Disc 1 ?

Holding down "C" at Start Up isn't working.
Most of the time I can't get Preferences > Start-Up to even "see" my Disc 1.
When I can get it to show up in Start-Up, and Select it, and Lock it ... it Still Won't Start Up from the Install Disc 1 ... and in fact usually ejects the disc.
Sometimes when I re-push in the disc, I get the message that a Blank Disc has been detected, "what do you want to do with it."
But, it shows up in Disc Utility, and when I run Verify Disc, it all looks good?!
The Disc has Mac OS version 10.4.8 on it. I'm running 10.5.7. I'm all up to date with my software.
Yesterday I ran the latest version of Disc Warrior. When I run TechTools 4.0 it seems to get stuck running Files. When I run Repair Permissions from Disc Utilities, it shows a fairly massive amount of issues. Running it over and over again doesn't seem to make any difference.
I WANT to run my Install Disc so I can run Repair Disc from Disc Utility ... because I'm having a number of issues ... and I seem to get the spinning rainbow a lot.
SUGGESTIONS ?! ... thanks ...

Disk Utility that can repair a 10.5.7 permissions is only found on the Leopard installer disc. Tiger can't repair Leopard when it comes to permissions, and may also have difficulty with the directory.
Secondly, if your MacBook Pro was purchased after October 26, 2007, it can't boot from any Tiger disc.
If your MacBook Pro was purchased prior, you can use the disk, but you'll want to follow these directions for hardware diagnostics:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303081
Only if your MacBook Pro has Tiger installed, should you use Tiger for the directory or permissions*:
http://www.macmaps.com/directoryfaq.html
Macs can only boot from the operating system that shipped with them, and newer retail operating systems. This means:
1. pre-October 1st, 2007 MacBook Pros can boot off:
- - the discs that shipped with them
- - retail 10.5 discs which look like * that do not say Upgrade, DropIn, or OEM.
2. October 1st through October 25, 2007 can do #1, and also use Upgrade and DropIn discs. Those disks were offered as a limited time mail order Up to date program, some were dropped in the box that came with them.
3. October 26th through November 14, 2007 can boot off the discs that came with them, and retail 10.5.1, 10.5.4, and 10.5.6 discs that do not say Upgrade, DropIn, or OEM, and have a label like the image above.
4. November 15, 2007 through June 29, 2008 can boot off the discs that came with them, and the retail 10.5.4, and 10.5.6 discs that do not say Upgrade, DropIn, or OEM, and have a label like the image above.
5. June 30, 2008 through December 14, 2008 can boot off the discs that came with them, and the retail 10.5.6 discs that do not say Upgrade, DropIn, or OEM, and have a label like the image above.
6. December 15, 2008 and later MacBook Pros can only boot off the discs that came with them.
Presumably when Snow Leopard comes out in September, all of the above will be able to use Snow Leopard because of the specs on http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html

Replaced hard drive, now can't boot from install disc to restore backup

Yesterday, my hard drive died (disk warrior informed me, that HD had irrecoverable errors, and my iMac would shut down unless it was booted from the Disk Warriorr disc).
Today, I have a new internal HD professionally installed. And when I brought it home, and installed Snow I got an error at the end of the installation "OS could not be installed, restart or choose start up disk" or something to that effect. However, on licking OK I got the snow music, and welcome movie nd eerything seemed to be working fine.
I can log in normally and have get to my desktop, but on trying to boot from the Snow Leopard disk (10.6), I get to the gray screen with the apple logo and hang. I have tried resetting Pram/firmware and also ran the fdisk command (twice).
It seems too much of a concidence that my hard drive and now my disc drive would die all in span of two days? I can hear the disc noise, but as I mentioned I cant get beyond the gray screen on trying to boot from the disc.
Suggestions?
Late Nov '07 intel iMac. And I did update the OS to 10.6.4. Install disc is 10.4.

Return it to the repair station.

I downloaded Indesign, and it failed. i uninstalled and now can't reinstall from the Creative Cloud

How can in reinstall Indesign?

Thanks Eugene;
I am on a brand new macbook pro. I downloaded Indesign from the creative cloud as well as photoshop. photoshop works fine but when i opened ID, i recieved an error that said "installation failed, please uninstall/reinstall.
So I uninstalled it from my computer. When i went back to the creative cloud, it showed that i had already installed the app, and it was up to date, so there was no way to reinstall it.

How can I start from install disc without shutting down Mac?

Sorry. that last post wasn't so clear. I started the computer without a password, but I think when I was trying to set my own password I may
have re-activated the old one.
I'm afraid that if I shut it down I won't be able to restart it?- (for starting over from install discs)
What Have I Done?
This is a hard one. Can anyone help?

Put the disk inside the slot.
Hit the restart button.
Hold down the c key as your computer is booting.

Can not upgrade from Panther 10.3.9 to Tiger 10.4

I have a PMG4 AGP 1.4 ghz (upgrade from OWC) 2 GB ram and three SCSI hard drives 147/147/40 (upgrades from OWC).
I upgraded to Tiger 10.4 from Panther about six months ago. And the upgrade never worked. After the upgrade for Tiger, the screen would look gray with the Apple logo and the spinning icon, then it would remain gray but the Apple logo will change to a circle with a diagonal line across it and it will stay that way forever.
So I been stuck with Panther ever since. (My iMac-G4 Video Special Edition did take the upgrade very well). I called OWC and they said that their drives were tested for Tiger and didn‘t have any problems. (how about the processor upgrade?)
I also took the computer to Apple store for advise, and one of their techs told me that the hard drive could be the problem.
So last night I decided to try it again but on the other drive (the one I‘m using as a starup disk with panther 10.3.9). Same thing.
By doing the same thing it tells me that the hard drives are the problem.
Please help because I really don‘t know what to do of this.
Thanks,
Oscar

You might try removing third party hard ware. Specifically, the SCSI drives. Get the systme back to original configuration with only keyboard and mouse and give it a go.

Can't boot from install disc after new RAM & SSD install

I decided to breathe some new life in to my 2007 2.2GHz MacBook by:
-upgrading the RAM to 4gb w/Centon memoryPOWER 2GB DDR2-667 PC2-5300 CL5 SO-DIMM Laptop Memory Module
-replace the HDD with a SSD (Samsung 840 Pro-Series MZ-7PD128BW 128GB SATA 6.0Gb/s 2.5" Internal Solid State Hard Drive).
-Also going from Leopard to Snow Leopard after the hardware upgrade, then possibly Lion/Mountain Lion...
What I've already done:
1. Backed up my hard drive using time machine, did not clone
2. Using the install disc/Disc Utility, I erased my old hard drive completely (Hope that wasn't a huge mistake!)
3. Replaced the previous 2gb (1x1gb) with the new 2x2gb RAM sticks
4. Swapped out the HDD with the SSD
When I went to boot the machine, all I get is a black screen. I can hear the optical drive spin for a while, then stop. Screen remains completely black. I have tried using C while starting as well as Control - same result. So, I put the old (erased) HDD back in and again got the same result. I didn't have time to put the old RAM back in and try again before work this morning and intend to tonight. Based on that, maybe my RAM isn't compatible even though the specs look to be...? But, does anyone know if the components I am using are not compatible? or did I totally screw up by erasing the old Drive prior to confirming this would work? Am I missing something else?
Any help would be MUCH appreciated!

I was finally able to get it done using my old RAM, so that must be the weak link. I'm going to try to return the RAM I bought and try a different brand. Thanks For the response!
