Does 10.3 to 10.4 install retain 9?

I need to upgrade from 10.3 to 10.4 on my G4 desktop to accommodate the kids new ipods which require 10.4. If I buy a fresh 10.4 and install on my iMac g4, will it retain my classic 9, or will I lose it and have to reinstall 9 some how?
I was going to go 10.5, but I hear that won't support 9. So, 10. 4 should be fine. But anything I need to know before installing.
PS: I have a set of 10.4 disks (original from my G5): will those disks work, or need to buy a fresh set (and from where?)

DadOfSixJon:
Unless you do an Erase and Install, installing Tiger will not affect your installation of OS 9. However, I strongly urge that if you do not already have an up-to-date backup that you do that before attempting any major procedure, including installation.

Computer specific disks not specific to the computer to which you are installing may cause problems during or after installation. I suggest that you get the Full Retail Version of Tiger. Tiger can be purchased at The Apple Store. You can also find the Full Retail Version, if you shop carefully, at online outlets like FastMac, HardcoreMac, AllMac, or on eBay. If you choose to go with eBay, please be sure to read all documentation carefully, and ask questions of the seller to be sure you are getting the full retail version.

  • I am going to buy either a Mac Air or Mac Pro Retina 8GB RAM and 256GB. And as I have to still run Windows I will install Parallels 9. As the Mac are both 64bit machines does that mean I need to install Windows 7 64bit ? And office pro 2013 64 bit too?

    I am going to buy either a Mac Air or Mac Pro Retina 8GB RAM and 256GB. And as I have to still run Windows programs I will install Parallels 9. As the Mac are both 64bit machines does that mean I need to install Windows 7 64bit or just install 32 bit? (Going with Win7 as I hate Win8). And I will install Office Pro 2013 64 bit too or 32 bit or is that automatically selected by the underlying OS (I use Word, Excel and Access mainly for a membership database of a local club) ? I am not a power user so would appreciate advice on way to go

    Again thank you.  If I only use word, excel and access in the Win environment and Mac OS for email and safari for internet do I need anti virus software . Ie my connection to the world is mac only and I use office pro only to ruin the club, newsletters, membership database etc. and of course anything I do there can drag/drop to the mac environ to email.  That's my understanding anyway.  Next will my existing .pst file copy directly into mac mail or do I have to runs translator  as I recall reading something about that ages ago when I started thinking Mac

  • Can't install Adobe Flashplayer 12. The user does not have sufficient privileges to install Adobe Fl

    I'm trying to install Adobe Flash Player 12.  I have tried it on Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. 
    I continually get the message "The user does not have sufficient privileges to install Adobe Flash Player"  
    How can I install Adobe Flash Player?? 
    Any help is appreciated!!

    March 12, 2014
    Hi Pat,
    Thank you so much for your reply.  Yes I am the Administrator. Nothing worked until I went into my security and disabled my firewall and my security tab.  Then Flash Player 12 downloaded without a hitch.  Then I quickly re-enabled both my firewall and security settings.   I have no idea why it worked but it did.
    Thank you so much for your assistance!!
    I wish you a great week!
    Sincerely,
    Lori

  • Can CUCM 8.5 version be installed on a DL 380 G5 server in Virtual environment (Vmware Esxi 4.0 or 4.1)? Or does it have to be only installed in UCS boxes for VMware?

    Can CUCM 8.5 version be installed on a DL 380 G5 server in Virtual environment (Vmware Esxi 4.0 or 4.1)? Or does it have to be only installed in UCS boxes for VMware?
    1. If the installation is possible for the Vmware instance on a DL 380 G5/G6 server , will that be supported by Cisco ?
    Similary is the case with CUIC 8.5. Has anybody worked on these do suggest ideas.

    Virtualized UC applications from Cisco are only supported on the UC on UCS platform using ESXi 4.0, 4.0 Update 1, or 4.1 - hypervisor support may vary based on application.

    The Mt Lion installer deletes itself from your Apps folder when it has finished the installation. It is available to download again should you ever need it, such as to install on one of your other qualifying Macs. You don't have to continue to download it and install, it's installed.
    Is there something else going on?

    why does it keep asking me to install adobe flash player even after i have installed it once? Please help me.

    No idea.  What did the folks on the Adobe forums say when you posted there, since it's Adobe's software you're having trouble with?

  • Lightroom 5 apparently does not recognize that Photoshop is installed.

    I just installed Lightroom 5, and it does not seem to recognize Photoshop CS5.1, which has been installed for some time. When I click Photo>Edit In, the option for Photoshop and all of the other related Photoshop options, such as Merge to Panorama, etc., are not active, so clicking on them does nothing. This occurs when Photoshop is open. It's as if Photoshop is not installed. Is there something I need to do to ensure that Lightroom 5 recognizes that Photoshop is installed?
    I'm not sure whether the problem is that Lightroom does not recognize that Photoshop is installed or that there is some problem that prevents access to Photoshop from Lightroom.
    I am using Windows 7. In Preferences for external editing, I have the following settings: File Format = TIFF; Color Space = ProPhotoRGB; Bit Depth = 16 bits; Resolution = 240; Compression = None.

    I guess that the problem could be caused by 32bit and 64bit mismatch. Both applications should be 32bit or both should be 64bit.

  • Hi I've just bought a Macbook pro (2010) I bought it as I needed an older one running snow leopard. Its running on 10.6.4 but I need it with 10.6.1 or 10.6.2, does anyone know if I can install 10.6.1 or 2 on my Macbook??????

    Hi I've just bought a Macbook pro (2010) I bought it as I needed an older one running snow leopard. Its running on 10.6.4 but I need it with 10.6.1 or 10.6.2, does anyone know if I can install 10.6.1 or 2 on my Macbook??????
    This is because I have a copy of Protools I want to run on it and it has to be 10.6.1 or 10.6.2
    Help I'm desperate!!

    The 2010 MBPs came installed with either 10.6.3, or 10.6.4 later in their lifespan. Earlier versions of the OS may not have the correct drivers for the Mac's hardware.
    Ultimately, you might be better off upgrading your copy of Pro Tools, or updating the Mac to Yosemite and running Logic Pro X.

  • Really? Again? "The user does not have sufficient privileges to install Adobe Flash Player"

    My browser is firefox.
    "The user does not have sufficient privileges to install Adobe Flash Player" is the incessant problem I've had many times updating Flash.
    Come on guys, this is getting beyond ridiculous. The install always stops at 55% exactly, and never completes, leaving me to abandon Firefox for Chrome. I mucked about the last half a dozen times this happened during the update and just by sheer accident it managed to install, but it's been 2 hours of similar mucking about and I'm now getting nowhere.
    This has been a persistent problem and affected many firefox users for years now, as I've seen both by my own experience and by searching google. Isn't there a way you all can provide a single SIMPLIFIED solution to this issue, either by coordinating with firefox or by providing a Firefox "unique" installer? Really it's too infuriating.
    Anyway, before anyone asks, yes I'm logged on as the admin, and yes I've run the installer "as the admin" by right clicking. I've also gone ahead and completely uninstalled flash (and emptied the folders as requested in other threads here) and reinstalled, only to watch the progress bar halt at 55% as per usual and leave me clicking that stupid Chrome icon to have a working flash program.
    Honestly folks, why, after years, does this continue to be a persistent issue? Fix it for the love of God! Are you lot the guys doing the ObamaCare website or what? We firefox folks are loyal to our browser, and installing new versions of flash on this browser is an unnecessary bloody pain in the you know what.
    Sorry for the visible frustration, but if someone could please provide a universal working solution I wouldn't need to be on here whinging and moaning.

    I have had the same problem, but found that doing it this way, eradicated the issue for me-
    I am no computer expert and have experimented over time until i found what has worked for myself. 
    I hope this helps others to resolve this problem.
                                                If you are unsure, then please get somebody that has an idea what they are doing to prevent any accidental deletion of system files!!!!!!!
    This is a Microsoft windows 7 PC, not Apple Mac.
    slightly lengthy, but has stopped me pulling hairs out and stopped swearing at the computer.
    Allowed for me to open e learning that needed adobe to continue with learning.
    Firstly:
    Download the current uninstallerUninstaller for Windows
    Close all browser windows and run the uninstaller
    Restart Windows.
    Delete all remaining files and folders located in the following directories. (these directories are probably hidden away from sight)
        (tip: copy and paste ONE of these paths into the path/search bar in an Explorer window)
    C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash (if you are using a 64-bit system)
    which should then display a white page with a top line in bold letters saying something like:-
    "Index of C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\" as shown below:
    This INFORMATION is only needed for the location as to where these files are hidden so DO NOT !!!!! click on any of the folders within this browser, as they will download into the download folder and cause more problems.
    THIS WILL SHOW  WHERE THE FOLDERS ARE HIDING WITHIN THE COMPUTER ITSELF, BUT THEY ARE PROBABLY HIDDEN, UNTIL YOU UNHIDE THE FOLDER(S) THAT YOU NEED.
    MINIMIZE THIS SCREEN TO ONE HALF OF THE SCREEN, AND HAVE THE FOLDER OF THE COMPUTER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SCREEN, SO THAT YOU CAN FOLLOW WITHOUT HAVING TO REMEMBER WHAT IS NEEDED TO BE DONE NEXT
    Secondly:
    Go onto DESKTOP
    double click on computer
    then double click on "C"
    go to organize on top left corner under backwards arrow,
    click on "folder and search options"
    click on "view" tab,
    look for heading "Hidden files and folders"
    click on "show hidden files, folders, and drives"
    click "Apply"
    CLICK "OK"
    Most folders will be a bright yellow folder, whereas the hidden folders that you have now made reappear will be a shaded yellow.
    You should still have the operating system IDE (C) folder open.
    Thirdly:
    Look for:
    Open folder "Windows"
    Open Folder "System32"
    Find Folder "Macromed"
    Right Click on folder and look down for "Delete" left click which will then put the folder into the waste basket on the computer.
    Empty the wastebin if it is on desktop by right clicking and choosing "Empty Recycle Bin"
    close all explorer/Google pages.
    then repeat the process as near top of page from Computer --> C Drive --> all the way to
    Hidden files and folders
    Forthly:
    THEN !!!!!
    click on "DON'T show hidden files, folders, or drives"
    click "apply"
    click "OK"
                                       THAT WILL HIDE THE SYSTEM FOLDERS
    Fifthly:
    CLOSE ANY FOLDER OR BROWSER ON THE  COMPUTER SO THAT YOU ARE BACK TO THE DESKTOP.
    FINALLY:
    OPEN BROWSER
    YOU SHOULD THEN BE ALLOWED  TO INSTALL ADOBE WHEN OPENING A FRESH BROWSER

  • The user does not have sufficient privileges to install Adobe Flash Player

    Hi, I'm having a very hard time installing the newest version of Adobe Flash player.  When I run the installer I get the error message "The user does not have sufficient privileges to install Adobe Flash Player".  This all started after Flash had given me several popups about a new update, but the update wouldn't install correctly.  Eventually I uninstalled Adobe Flash and I've been unable to reinstall it at all since.
    I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, and I do have an administrator account.  I'm trying to isntall the Flahs plugin for Firefox, but it also wont work in IE.  So far I've tried running the instaler as an administrator, doing a clean install and running the installer from another user account (also an administrator).  None of these things have worked, and I can't find any other suggestions.
    Thanks in advance for your assistance!

    Download the offline installers from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header and save them to disk, then right-click on each installer and select 'Run As Administrator'.
