Can't upgrade to Tiger on my iMac... please help!
I've purchased Tiger and tried to upgrade onto my iMac, which currently runs on OSX 10.2.8
I load the DVD into the DVD drive and all runs well, until right at the end, when it says its met an error in the upgrade, and you're prompted to restart and the upgrade process starts all over again.
Am I missing something here...?
Any help would be most appreciated.

I Can't upgrade to iOS 4.1? Please help
yo yo wuz sup ya'll, everytime i try to upgrade to 4.1 i get a message at 99% mark of the download.. wuz sup with that? I try download it with my firewall off & also with my anti virus off, but i still get the same message, " There's was a promblem downloading the software for the iphone The network connecton time out. Make sure your setting are correct and your network connection its active, or try again later" this is wacky, wacky wack ya'll. Please help a brotha out.
<Edited by Host>Navigate to ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates and delete any & all .ipsw files you find. There should only be one, but delete all that are listed. You will most likely have to first turn on show all hidden files & folders to see them. Once done, reboot your computer, launch itunes, MAKE SURE YOUR ANTI-VIRUS IS OFF, try restoring again. This will force itunes to re-download the .ipsw file.

Problems installing Tiger onto G3 Imac - please help!
hi all.
i've tried to install tiger onto a g3 imac but i'm having some problems.
basically, once i've inserted the install dvd and restarted, the screen is either totally blank or it's very very dark and the desktop is sliding off to one side, plus the text and icons are blurred.
i checked that i didn't need to update the firmware first, and the computer said that i didn't need to.
does anyone have any idea what i can do? i don't have the original OS9 install disk any more and i'm starting to panic ...
thanks in advance
ibook g4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)Jon,
Not to be silly but do you you have DVD capabilities? Not all G3s (mine included) have DVD drives. Is the firmware 4.1.9? What is your machines specs? Do you have enough ram, hard disk space?
I haven't read about these types of going ons, however on the Tiger OS X.4 discussion board Gulliver has an excellent check list/ decision tree.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607363
You may want to check that out as well as reposting your topic on the Tiger board.
Sorry I couldn't help more than possibly pointing you in the right direction.
Good luck,

How can I upgrade from Tiger to Leopard
Hello all, hope you can help me.
I´m running Tiger Last Vers on a white MacBook with 1.83 GHz, 55GB Hd and 2 GB RAM.
The thing is that the iPhone 3gs is running quite well (not last version updated, but at least, it runs) and I recently got an iPhone 4, that is too new for my Tiger.
Thus, needs an upgrade, but the Apple Store only provides the Snow Leopard.
So:
.- Can I upgrade the Tiger to the SnowLeopard directly, buying the OS from the Apple Store?
.- Do I need first to upgrade Tiger to Leopard? If so, how do I do that?
I know the very best option is buying a new Mac, but currently for me it doesn´t make any sense as I only want it to sync my devices...
So, any idea?
It´s been almost 10 days since I got my iPhone 4, and I cannot even start it!
Much appreciated
Regards
Javier Diaz

you can upgrade directly to Snow Leopard without upgrading to Leopard first.
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.
Make sure your Mac meets Snow Leopard's Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard - Technical Specifications -
HT1338 Can I upgrade from Tiger (10.4) to Lion (10.7)
Can I upgrade from Tiger (10.4) to Lion (10.7) without purchasing and installing Leopard (10.5) and Snow Leopard (10.6)?
The spects on this MacBook5,1 is MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008)You can't.
In order to get Lion you must be running Snow Leopard 10.6.8
To get there you must purchase the Snow Leopard install DVD from Apple
Then update to 10.6.8 which will give you the App Store to purchase Lion
Since Lion is no longer available on the App Store, you will have to call Apple and purchase a code to download it from the App Store

Hello There,
please help, I have been trying to get my ipad to work again for hours without luck.
After running the new software update on my ipad 2, I started having issues; device turned off by itself, apps couldn't be downloaded, etc (however it was at least working).
Being frustrated with the newly born issues, I decided to restore the ipad, hoping that would solve the issue, however I ended up with the black screen telling me to connect to iTunes and when I connect and go for restore, I get error message 4013 and 21. I tried re-installing iTunes, upgrading my opp system, but nothing,
Please help!!! Very annoying!!!
ThxYou say "USB can't be the issue...". I disagree. There are thresholds, etc. Maybe the iPhone passes some threshold, but the iPad does not.
You might reboot all devices. If that does not cure it, then check the TS3694 article I attached above. -
I want to put music on my iPhone but when I want to do it it keeps telling me that I can't to id with a sign. Please help me?
You will have to upgrade your operating system version and possibly your whole computer. We cannot provide more information easily until we know more about your system.
Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
Apple does tell you about required equipment for the iPhone -- in 8 point medium gray type on a light gray box. The Store associates kind of automatically assume everybody is running a new model computer and the one I met when we bought our iPhone had never seen a pre-2008 Mac and was somewhat puzzled why anybody would own such an antique. -

I am on Vacations in Nicaragua and I just lost my Ipod. I did not turned on the ICloud. How can I use "Find my Ipod".? please help me.
You cannot use it. You would have had to set it up on your ipod itself before you lost it. Since you did not "turn on the icloud", then you have not set up find my ipod.
Sorry.
There is no way to track your ipod. -

i recently have ipad but before i sell it i made a back up of it and by an iphone when i put all the date on my iphone some files and software did not install is there anything i can do to recover the lost data? please help
I don't think you're on iOS 5, I think you're using iOS 6. That's the latest version.
Unless you've used iCloud to back up your documents, you won't be able to restore them. And for future reference, you don't have to uninstall Pages to update your iPad anymore. Sorry about this.
