Can Tiger be installed on the same disk running Leopard?

I purchased a retail Tiger disk after I started having problems with Leopard 10.3 -- now solved, thankfully. Still, I hear that Tiger is great for Audio, my primary use, and so would like to at least find out how it feels.
So...I created a GUID partition (Extended Journaled) in hopes of being able to install Tiger on my Leopard MacBook. No go. When I boot up holding the option key, only my Leopard Drive and Boot Camp drive appear: the Tiger Drive does not. When I try to install from the disk directly on my desktop, I get a message saying that "Mac OSX 10.4 cannot be installed on this machine."
It has been suggested to me elsewhere that in order to install Tiger on this MacBook (rev. 3,1), I would need to downgrade the firmware to something circa Tiger. I can run either Tiger or Leopard, but not both. Can someone confirm whether this is true?
If so, I'm thinking I'll buy an external firewire drive and try loading it on that. In this case, would I get better performance from a retail external hard drive over against, say, transferring my original 80 GB MacBook hard drive to a FireWire case? (I've since upgraded from the 80 GB in my laptop.)

Hi fizay
I created a GUID partition (Extended Journaled) in hopes of being able to install Tiger on my Leopard MacBook. No go. When I boot up holding the option key, only my Leopard Drive and Boot Camp drive appear: the Tiger Drive does not. When I try to install from the disk directly on my desktop, I get a message saying that "Mac OSX 10.4 cannot be installed on this machine."
Since you created a GUID partition, I will assume you have an Intel Mac. This means that you can only install Tiger on the Mac if is an older model. The newer model which are coming with Leopard installed will not run Tiger. In order to install Tiger on an older Mac you will need to get the old Tiger install media for the same model in order to install Tiger. The reason for this is the generic Tiger disks only have PPC code on them and are worthless for an Intel Mac.
It has been suggested to me elsewhere that in order to install Tiger on this MacBook (rev. 3,1), I would need to downgrade the firmware to something circa Tiger. I can run either Tiger or Leopard, but not both. Can someone confirm whether this is true?
It is not true. Firmware cannot be downgraded.
If so, I'm thinking I'll buy an external firewire drive and try loading it on that. In this case, would I get better performance from a retail external hard drive over against, say, transferring my original 80 GB MacBook hard drive to a FireWire case? (I've since upgraded from the 80 GB in my laptop.)
Putting the old drive in an external enclosure will be a good thing to help you spread the I/O workload out across more disks but it will not help get Tiger running if you Mac came with Leopard.

  • Can FMS be installed on the same IP as my main web server?

    Hello all,
    As stated in the title, can FMS and my Linux server share the same IP or must they be differemt?
    Thanks!
    wordman

    About port bindings, if you're not worried about having FMS listen on port 80, you can use a single IP for both FMS and your HTTP server. If you want to bind FMS to port 80, you need to have a separate IP address for FMS. What I mean by "two servers can't bind to port 80 on the  same IP" is just that... if you have both FMS and an HTTP server trying to bind to port 80 on the same IP, one will succeed, and one will fail.
    In the configuration for the hostport, the xxx.xxx.xxx represents the IP address you want to bind to. The numbers following to colon are the ports to bind to.
    By default (the default configuration) FMS will bind to all IP's on port 1935. If you want to bind to a specific IP, replace the wildcard with the IP to bind to... for example, if you have an IP 10.10.10.10, ad you want to bind to ports 1935 and 80, you'd configure like so:
    ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT = 10.10.10.10:1935,80
    The purpose for binding to port 80 is to help with firewall traversal. In some cases, your users many not be able to connect via port 1935, and some proxies and/or firewalls will prevent RTMP altogether. Assuming you don't specify a port or protocol other than RTMP in your connection string (on the client side), the flashplayer will first try RTMP on port 1935, and if that fails, it will try RTMPT (tunneled RTMP... rtmp wrapped in HTTP headers) over port 80.
    So, to have the widest possible reach, you'll want to bind FMS to ports 1935 and 80, and to do so, you'll want to give FMS it's own IP.
    You might want to read through the configuration guide in the docs.... lots of good information there to help you understand configuration of the server.

  • TS1600 OS X could not be installed on your computer. OSX can't be installed on the disk Macintosh HD because a recovery system can't be created.

    I just bought the new OS X 10.8 and downloaded but when I tried to install it on my computer Installation Failed and I got this message:
    "OS X can't be installed on the disk Macintosh HD , because a recovery system can't be created."
    I tried so many times but the same message comes out to me each time and when I restart the computer I am back to the same OS X installer and can't access my computer any more so I am really stuck I can't install the new OS X version and can't go back to the old OS X version or access my computer.
    Please help
    My computer is MacBook Pro 13"

    OK. You have a Boot Camp partition which is why the issue. See the following:
    It seems the issue is that the space at the "bottom" of your available space when Lion installs it's partition is already occupied by BootCamp. The fix was to go into Disk Utility; Select your Hard Drive; Select Partition; Move the bottom of your main partition "up" a bit to create a space for Lion; close Disk Utility; Install Lion; once Lion is successfully installed, go back into Disk Partition and drag the bottom of your main partition back "down" to the bottom of the window.
    In your case use Disk Utility to "shrink" your OS X partition a little more than 1 GB.
    To resize the drive do the following:
    1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
    3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired empty space. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. 
    Remember that you only need to shrink the OS X partition a little more than 1 GB. Now, when you try the Mountain Lion installation the installer will be able to make the Recovery HD.

  • Can I restore OSX to a disk,  from a backup that's on the same disk?

    I have a Powermac G5 Quad, that has two internal drives. (a 250gb system drive, and a 500gb spare).
    Both drives are now out of space. I want to purchase a 1TB drive to replace the 250 system drive.
    Tell me if this plan makes any sense:
    1. Remove the 500gb spare drive.
    2. Install the 1 TB drive, format, & use it as the Time Machine backup disk for the system drive.
    3. Once the backup is complete, Remove the 250gb system drive.
    4. Boot to the 10.5 Install DVD, and select "restore from backup"
    5. Use the Backup on the 1 TB Drive, to install the OS on the same disk.
    It's step # 5 that I'm not sure will work. Can I install an OS to a disk, from a backup that's on the same disk?

    Sorry it took me so long. I had a baby. Anyway, here's how it went down:
    I attempted to use the disk utility to "Clone" the original 250gb system disk to the new 1tb Hard drive.
    It did not work. Tried booting to the Leopard install disk, and doing it from there, no dice.
    So, I went ahead and created 2 partitions on the new 1TB disk. One I called "Time Machine" and it was 300 gigs. The other I called "New System Disk".
    I booted to the "Old" System disk, and set up Time Machine to back-up to the "Time Machine" partition. It took 5 hours to back up 250 gigs, but it worked.
    I then booted to the 10.5 Install DVD. one of the utilities you can use is "Install from Time Machine Backup" This worked. Took about 5 hours to copy everything to the new "New System Disk".
    When that was done, I removed the old system disk. It booted to the new system disk without any trouble.
    I was now stuck with a "Time Machine" partition that I did not want. It was EXTRAORDINARILY EASY to delete that partition, then re-size the other one so it took up the entire 1 Terabyte of available space.
    So, the answer to the question is: Yes, you can use Time Machine to restore to the same disk, provided that the disk is using two partitions.

  • Can more than 1 ver of FF be installed at the same? If so, How?

    Can more than 1 ver of FF be installed at the same time? I currently have FF 3.x installed, and want to migrate to the newest FF, but before I do, I need to see which of my add-ons are no longer needed due to new intrinsic FF features, and if other add-ons are compatible. I simply need to have the features of certain add-ons, and if the new FF does not have the features I need, and the add-ons that give me those features are not compatible with the new version, then I simply can't upgrade. At some point I will write a detailed document stating features that I believe should be built into FF, but until then, perhaps a new Mozilla Migration Wizard program should be created. It would be able to scan a person's current installation, add-ons and all, and provide a report on which add-ons are compatible with the version the person wishes to upgrade to, and which are not, and check online to see if updates for the incompatible add-ons are available. The Mozilla Migration Wizard should also tell the user which add-ons are obsolete because their functions are built into the newer version of FF. But back to the question at hand: Can more than 1 ver of FF be installed at the same time? If so, is there a special procedure to follow? Will trying to install a second version corrupt my currently installed version? I hope a dual installation is possible because it will help me to transition to the newest FF as smoothly as possible, and it may also provide me with insight to suggest new features, procedures, functionality, utility type programs, and such.
    Thank you for your time.
    I hope to hear from you soon.

    Yes. You can have them both on the same computer -- though you shouldn't run them both at the same time.

  • Can we have BusinessObjects 4.0 and 4.1 both installed on the same machine

    Can we have BusinessObjects 4.0 and 4.1 (tool Clients) both installed on the same machine? Why? Why not?

    4.0 and 4.1 are incremental upgrades hence both on the same machine are not possible.
    Though u can use 4.1 client tools to login to both 4.1 and 4.0 servers.
    3.1 and 4.0/4.1 together is very much possible on the other hand.

  • Can R12.1.3 and R11.5.10 be installed on the same server?

    Hello there,
    We are currently running Oracle eBiz R11.5.10, and would like to install the latest version R12.1.3 for testing purposes.
    Can R12.1.3 be installed on the same server (for both database and application tiers) as for R11.5.10? Any pitfalls that we need to be aware of if we do this?
    Thanks for the advice.
    Cheers!

    Nothing would stop you from installing 11i and R12 on the same server as long as ORACLE_HOMEs, APPL_TOPs, and COMMON_TOPs of each instance are installed in separate directories. The only pitfall would be the performance (unless you have sufficient resources).
    Please don't consider this plan for production instances!
    Thanks,

  • Can BO XI and CE 10 be installed on the same server?

    We are preparing to upgrade our existing CE 10 to BO XI; however, we were unable to obtain a test server and will need to install it on the same server that CE 10 resides on (our development server).  I heard that both versions could not reside on the same server and I need this confirmed by a SME.  Thank you.  ~emoreno

    Tim,
    I'm not sure that my question was answered.  I just need to know whether CE10 and BO XI can be installed on the same server?  I have a development server (not a VM) with CE 10 and another customer wants to install BO XI on the same server.  I heard through other sources that BO XI and CE 10 cannot reside on the same server.  I need to know if this statement is accurate?  If BO XI cannot reside on the same server as CE 10, then our contracted vendor will have to provide t this customer with a different server.  I need this information confirmed in order to notify my management.
    Thanks...EMoreno
