Cannot install on g4 upgraded from 400Mhz to 1.2 Ghz processor

I'm attempting to install Leopard without success. I've have a g4 (originally 400Mhz but upgraded to 1.2 Ghz) Upon attempting to install it just plainly states (cannot install 10.5) I am currently running 10.3.9 and have 1.7MB ram
Any suggestions? PLEASE HELP! I'm dying to install it
Thanks!!!

After taking it to the shop and paying $81.00 to find out that there is nothing wrong with it, it stopped smelling hot after a month or so. Still working fine. Go figure.

  • Cannot install CS5.5 (upgrade from CS3) on my new laptop

    I need to install CS5.5 on my new laptop. I downloaded the installation files, but i cannot install.
    My CS5.5 Design Standard is an update from an CS3 Desing Premium which i purchased some years ago.
    I do have the serial of my old CS3, but unfortunaltely i lost the installation dvd
    Do i first need to install CS3? Or can i just put the serial somewhere?
    Thanks Martin

    Can you elaborate?
    First question: is your CS5.5 for Windows or Mac? Is your new laptop a Windows or a Mac? You cannot use a Windows serial number to license a CS5.5 on a Mac and vice versa.
    Assuming you're installing on the same platform, there's no need to re-install CS3 first.
    All you need to do is install CS5.5 (the code for an upgrade version is the same as for a full version), enter your CS5.5 upgrade serial number then enter your CS3 serial number when prompted.

    Did you try to install the complete combo update (601 MB) or the smaller one (310 MB)?
    You need the larger one. The smaller one is only for updating from 10.5.4

  • Is it possible to install an iOS upgrade from a computer other than your sync computer?

    Hello,
    Is it possible to install an iOS upgrade from a computer other than your sync computer? I usually sync to my tower at home, but only have access to my laptop now. My laptop is authorized to the same iTunes account as the tower. If I do a software update for the iPhone on the laptop's copy of iTunes, will it wipe away my music that isn't from the iTunes store, etc?
    Thanks,
    Will

    Yes, but all your data will be replaced by whatever is on this other computer. So if you don't want that to happen wait and install on the computer with which the device is normally synced.

  • Can I use an OSX 10.6.3 install disk to upgrade from OSX 10.5.8

    Can I use an OSX 10.6.3 install disk to upgrade from OSX 10.5.8

    Yes. And, see below:
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?

  • Cannot install Leopard on G4Pbook from Disk Image

    G4 Powerbook 1.67, 1.5GB RAM, 10.4.11
    I have a backup of my Universal Leopard disc on a bare SATA drive that I use as an installer drive, via USB and drive adapter. Much faster than reading the DVD and no need to swap discs. Anyway, I was able to use it to upgrade my Mac Pro last year, but now that I'm finally getting around to my PBook it won't install from the external drive. I open the installer file but it tells me "the application cannot be run from this disk" and I can only quit. On other machines the installer ran and I was able to restart the machine to boot into the Leopard install. The 'Startup Disk' in the Prefs doesn't list the Leopard partion on the SATA drive as a viable system disk, so that may be the issue there. Do G4s have issues with seeing USB drives as startup disks?
    I don't have the original Leopard DVD with me, so I need to come up with other options for installing. Target Disk from my tower and run the install that way?
    TIA, JK

    Hi
    +Do G4s have issues with seeing USB drives as startup disks?+
    Yes in the sense they won't work. AFAIK PPC architecture macs will only boot from certain external firewire drives - depends on the chipset. Oxford Semiconductor is one chipset that I know that works - there are others. I'm not absolutely certain but I think it's safe to say the later Intel Macs (last year or so) will boot from external USB drives as long as they're USB 2.
    You should be able to boot your MacPro using the external drive (as you've done before) and target disk mode the G4 to your MacPro. It should present itself as a viable destination source when you run the Installer.

  • Satellite Z930-14F - cannot install Win 8.1 from SCCM 2012 R2 environment

    Dear all,
    Sattelite Z series laptops cannot install OS (win 8.1) from our SCCM 2012 R2 environment.
    Either no installation is starting, or pxe boot aborted error is showed.
    The environment is used to successfully install OS (win 8.1) on different other vendor computers (dell) and virtual machines (hyper-v and vmware).
    I've tried both UEFI and CMS boot options and tried to switch off the secure boot. Please advice.
    Also, i've read about the "SCCM installation package for Toshiba". Will it help in my situation or is it just driver packages for SCCM?
    Best Regards, Evgeny.

    I guess you are speaking about this Toshiba package:
    http://www.toshiba.eu/services/on-demand/business-computing/sdp120gs-v/
    I dont have much experience using such SCCM drive package but it definitely compatible with the Toshiba business notebooks. The Satellite / Portege Z930 belong to the business range and I think the package should be compatible.
    This package seems to be for all IT administrators who manage devices on the corporate network with SCCM 2012 R2. Toshiba offers with the new Toshiba SCCM package a solution to integrate other notebook into an existing IT infrastructure quickly and smoothly and all Toshiba Driver and application packages and a demonstration task sequence are integrated.
    However, it seems that you could get more details about this package directly from Toshiba [email protected]
    By the way: The Win 8.1 installation requires the UEFI mode (in case the UEFI BIOS is available). But booting from another, external source requires the disabled secure boot option.
    So maybe you should use the UEFI mode but should disable the secure boot option in order to boot from LAN.

  • Can I install Windows 7 upgrade (from XP) to BootCamp?

    I currently use Snow Leopard and have a Boot Camp partition running Windows XP Professional. It was a pain to install, because I had the upgrade version, and you can't eject CDs from the optical drive during the installation process to put the old CD in to prove you already own a copy of Windows. Let's just say I found a way around that and was able to install XP which currently works fine.
    I am now considering trying out Windows 7. If I get it, it will be the upgrade version as well. Will it be possible to install that to Boot Camp from XP? I know there are issues upgrading from XP to Windows 7, in that it has to be a custom install. I don't care about losing Windows settings and files; in fact, I would much prefer to do a clean install. Does anyone know if that is possible using an upgrade CD or will I have the same problem of not being able to eject the CD to put an old one in during the installation process?

    If you thought what I was saying was off-base, perhaps you still don't understand my question, since none of your answers has addressed it.
    I don't want to do the "upgrade" process. I was very familiar, even before you posted several links saying the same thing over and over, that you can't do that from XP to Win 7 anyway, but even if you could you wouldn't want to. I get the difference of upgrade v. migrate, etc., etc. Please don't link to it again. That is not my question.
    All I want to know is this: If you are using an upgrade CD to install Windows 7 (as opposed to a full install CD, and not to be confused with the "upgrade" process), will there be an issue with switching it out during installation and not being able to get it out of the optical drive?
    When I clean-installed XP to Boot Camp using an upgrade XP CD, you couldn't do that, because it needed proof of a prior copy of Windows during the installation process and there was no way to switch out the discs. This was a weird glitch of needing to eject from the optical drive during the installation process but having no way to do so at that particular point in the installation. It had nothing to do with anything about Windows licenses, upgrade pathways, etc. It was a technical oddity because of the hardware.
    From Apple support site re. XP and Vista with Boot Camp:
    "Important: _You must use a single full-install Windows installation disc._ Service pack 2 is required for Windows XP installations. Do not install an earlier version of Windows XP and attempt to update it later to service pack 2. Use only 32-bit versions of Windows."
    You don't need to answer this. BlueDevilKurz somehow understood exactly what I was asking and responded several posts ago as well as anyone can until Windows 7 is actually released and we know for sure. But if you want to, it's a Yes or No question, with a second bonus Yes or No question.
    1. Can I use an upgrade Windows 7 CD/DVD (rather than full install media) to install Windows 7 on a Boot Camp partition that currently has XP?
    2. Can I use an upgrade Windows 7 CD/DVD (rather than full install media) to install Windows 7 on a Boot Camp partition that is currently empty (no XP installed)?

  • Installing InDesign CS4 upgrade from Pagemaker 7.0

    I have purchased InDesign CS4 upgrade from Pagemaker 7.0.  I have also purchased a new computer on which I have installed it. When I run
    CS4 it offers me a trial version or enter a serial number.  I entered my PM7 serial number but that doesn't work.  Do I need to
    have PM7 installed before I install CS4 for this to all work?  If so, do I now need to uninstall CS4, install PM7, reinstall CS4 and then uninstall PM7 after it all works??  When I've used an upgrade before it hasn't need the actual files to be on the PC just the serial number.  Running Windows XP Professional. Adobe support didn't help at all!!

    I think you may need to call customer service. There have been a number of reports of trouble installing the PM to ID upgrades, often due to odd serial numbers carried forward from earlier PM installations.
    That said, I think the first time you are asked for a serial number it is probably the number of the CS4 upgrade that you need (since the other option is as a trial). Presumably you have that number becasue you paid for the license. After that I would expect the installer to look for PM or ask for the disk or serial number. Having the PM disk will probably help.

  • Cannot install InDesign once removed from computer

    Hi Indesign users,
    Here are some tech details:
    1. MacMini 3.1, 6Gb RAM, OS X 10.9
    2. Adobe CC - InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator
    3. InDesign worked without errors until this morning.
    4. No updates from yesterday (Saturday, Novermber 30) and today (December 1st)
    5. No fonts installed in between.
    What I did:
    This morning (December 1st) I tried to open an InDesign file to check if my collaborator finished the project. The file is hosted on Dropbox in a folder we are sharing. Therefore, I did what I am always doing with any of my IND files: double click on it to open it. It opened the file, showed me a white screen with all the InDesign tools and menus. And it stood that way for several minutes until I decide to force IND to quit.
    Then I tried again to open just the IND software. IND started to gave me an error like: IND is shuting down from a serious error.....
    I turned off the computer and started it again. InDesign opened the file properly, but I cannot do anything: no scrolling, no navigating between pages, nothing. It was frozen showing me a rainbow circle cursor for minutes. Therefore I decide, again, to force the software to close. I cannot open InDesign at all after that. The same message of a serious error is showed.
    I delete all kind of files based on things I read on the forum: from caches, workplaces etc. Nothing worked.
    As I had enough of those errors I was experiencing several months ago, I decide to completeely remove the InDesign hoping that I can reinstall it again, clean without errors.
    I delete all instances where InDesign might be present. At least I think that way.
    I shut down the computer and open it again, went to Creative Cloud Desktop Manager and when I tried to choose install InDesign, surprise. The manager is shopwing me that InDesign is Up to Date. I cannot install it.
    Please help.
    I did a complete instalation of my MAC a month ago just to get rid of those InDesign errors. I had enough of it. I do not care to reinstall my MAC again from zero just because that damn application.
    Warm regards,
    Sebastian
    P.S. I just read on an older post something. In that folder I am sharing there is a file having the extension: *.idlk That's why I cannot open the InDesign file? What to do in the future when I see files like that? Anyway, that is now unimportant since it will not save me from missing installing option for InDesign.
    Message was edited by: sebdea

    Hi Peter,
    I finally manage to make a clean install of InDesign. I remove it using the uninstall option then I reboot computer entered to creative cloud desktop application and I installed InDesign. Now it is working without hassle.
    Thank you very much for your support and for making time to read and answer. Much appreciate it.
    Warm regards,
    Sebastian

  • Install logic 9 upgrade from logic 7  on macbook pro retina

    i bought a new MBP retina, (no disc drive) and want to install logic. my logic studio 9 is an upgrade from logic pro 7, and the 7 won't run on the new com.
    So how do I do this install?

    Could be you khave a corrupted Win 7 install file/files.
    Try downloading the Win 7 ISO for the version you have from here.

    Then burn that ISO to a USB or DVD, USB would be better.

  • Problem installing PS-CS2 upgrade from Version 4

    I upgraded my Photoshop software from Version 4.0 to Version CS2 in July of 2006. At the time, I had an issue installing it and had no problems calling Adobe and having them walk me through a couple extra steps to install the program (because it was a "special" upgrade that was offered from a version earlier than 5.5, which was normally what you had to have in order to upgrade to CS2). So, no problem there, got the program installed.
    Fast forward to this week, when I received a new computer for Christmas (a little early) and I tried installing the software. I called Adobe and they said they can't help me because the software is now out of its "support" time frame and the only way they could help me was if I purchased CS4. I have searched online at Adobe for a couple hours and can't find anything giving me the information I need to duplicate the extra steps I had to take when I initially installed the program 3.5 years ago. I don't use Photoshop a lot but there are a few times when I use it for photos and so upgrading is not something that I want to do at the moment (CS2 is fine for what I need). Is there anyone out there that can help me, or perhaps point me in the right direction with the correct information?

    Are these the extra steps, in this case for CS4, that involve a challenge-response from an Adobe rep?  These same steps could be performed by a keygen, which is why Adobe went to background server activation and blacklisting.  The scenario this quote is from involves upgrading from a promotional Elements that came with a tablet.  The message is from 10/5/09 3:28pm (CDT?):
    "The customer representative asks me to open PS CS4.  It goes straight to the activation page.  I enter my PS CS4 S/N and hit 'Next'.  It goes to the page where it requires the PS Elements version and Serial Number.  The representative indicates that I leave the SN space blank and press Ctrl+Shift and click inside the activation dialog twice.
    It goes to an 'Upgrade Code Entry Dialog' window where it shows a Challenge Code that I had to give to this person on the other side of the phone.
    2 minutes later, this person gives me a 6 or 8 digit code that activates my Photoshop license.  And that was it."
    I am not sure what the equivalent is for CS2 but I think there is some way to get to a Phone Activation thing, which you may have already done, that involves a challenge-response .  The unfortunate part is that it involves an Adobe person, and they've already told you they don't support the older version.
    It's possible you could tell them you are doing a phone activation and not say what version you have and see if they can give you the correct response code, anyway, although it may be version-specific and if I remember changes each time you do it, so may not be valid for more than one activation attempt.

Maybe you are looking for
