EMac/iMac tiger installation dvd

Can the Tiger DVD installation discs of an iMac or eMac be able to be installed on a G4 Powermac running Panther, please?
Thanks in advance
G4 Silver   Mac OS X (10.3)   Dual OS9 & OSX

You bet. Besides that you'd be violating the software terms of agreement you agreed to by installing an OS on several machines at the same time.

  • Why can't I open my retail Tiger installation dvd although it boots

    Hi,
    I have problems with opening my original Tiger installation dvd. I already installed Tiger, but I need some data from the optional installs on the disk. But I don't get any access to the dvd. Its shown on the desk but whenever I try to open it it just failed. I can boot it by pushing C and starting from the dvd but I have no access when I just put it into my internal diskdrive. Does anyone have an idea?

  • Replacement - Tiger Installation DVD

    My Tiger 4.8 Installation DVD set (MacBook Intel) was stolen. I did register my hardware and software with Apple (11/2006).
    Other than buying another license of Tiger, what are my options to get it replaced? I don't really want to fork out another € 122,- for Tiger when Leopard will come out in 4 months.
    I am having some system problems and would need to re-install Tiger.
    Thanks.

    Don't buy the Tiger retail disk. It will not work on your Intel Mac, and does not include iLife or the Hardware diagnostics. Call AppleCare and ask for a replacement of the original disk. They will charge you, but much less than buying the retail Tiger. They will need the serial number of the computer so they can send the correct version.

  • Can't boot Tiger installation DVD

    I can't install tiger on a power mac G5 1.6 GHz from 10.3.9
    because the installation DVD won't boot in any ways (automatic
    asked from installer and manually with C command).
    Is there a solution ?
    Thanks

    Also sometimes the 'C' key does not work for booting. Sometimes it is necessary to use the Startup Manager:

    Be sure to take these precautions before installation:

  • Cannot startup from Tiger installer DVD

    I am not able to restart from the OS 10.4 DVD. After several seconds of spinning with the apple on the screen I get a circle with a line through it and the spinning just continues

    simply mac wont start up from usb devices... u need
    an external firewire device to be able to boot...
    Okay, that helps me. My device will do firewire, I'll just have to find the correct cable.
    While I'm here, lemme explain my situation.
    Recently, my father purchased an iMac with OS 9.2 preloaded on it for me (I'm mainly a windows user, but I've used an OS X machine at school so I'm fairly comfortable with Mac, and I'm adapting to OS 9). After tinkering for a while, I came to the conclusion that in order to make full use of my Mac, I'd probably want to upgrade to OS X. So my father went and purchased a copy of OS X from owcomputing.com (I'm thinking it's preowned as the seal was previously cut and taped together).
    As all disks are DVDs, and iMacs have a CD-ROM drive, I connected a USB DVD drive to it and atempted to install. I have a black disk, reads "Mac OS X Tiger CPU Drop In DVD" and mentions "This software is part of a hardware bundle--not to be sold seperately" (it was bundeled with software, but not hardware. So perhaps that may be a problem). When I click the restart button from the installer it tells me it could not set to start from that disk.
    As besous here has said, that probably means it just doesn't like the USB connection, I'll seek a means to make it firewire. In the meantime, it's mentioned in this thread that the grey software discs may or may not work for me as they did not come with my Mac originally. They read "eMac Software Install and Restore" Discs 1 & 2. This once again suggests the CDs were bundeled with a Mac previously and now is being sold separately as that's entirely the wrong model of Mac.
    ALAS, those grey discs also read they're "Mac OS version 10.3.3". The black one says "Mac OS version 10.4". Does this mean I can disregard the two greys as they're for the wrong model of Mac and for a lesser version? And I should be okay to install off the black disk once I hook up the firewire cord for my external DVD drive correct?

  • Emac, imac, ibook installs

    I have an emac(parent's) and an imac(mine) and am about to buy an ibook(for college), none of these have Tiger 10.4 on them, either Jaguar or Panther. If I get Tiger 10.4 to update them, will I be able to use it for 3 different computers, and if so, will the imac or ibook, since they are older, still run smoothly? Also, I am more than likely going to get Microsoft Office(eww) because I need it for school, can I install this on all 3, and will they all run smoothly still? Thank you.
    imac, emac, ibook   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    My husband recently installed (erase and install) Tiger on our 2 800mHz eMacs and we couldn't be happier. Both got iLife '06 at the same time and mine got PS elements4. Both of us feel that there is a noticeable increase in speed and we have had zero problems. Buy the family versions and upgrade them all. We had been stuck in 10.2.8 for years with 25,000 pix in iPhoto 2 and were afraid to upgrade due to all the problems we had heard about newer versions of iPhoto and losing album structure and so on. We aquired a used 12" iBook recently with panther and tried iLife '06 on it first. We copied our iPhoto libraries to an external drive, dropped them into the empty pictures folder, then opened iPhoto which proceeded to convert the libraries to version 6. Guess what? None of the probs we had heard about happened, and now weboth have identical copies of iPhoto on each of our computers.

  • Cannot startup from Tiger installer DVD or any other CD

    When I try to startup from a system CD , DVD, or Diskwarrior CD the system folders on the external media will not mount.

    I have yet to see an Apple update that is responsible for an OS X installer not booting a computer.  The installer discs are self contained with their own bootable system.  It is independent of what may be installed on the hard drive.
    I've been involved in beta testing Tiger updates as well as several security updates for Panther.  I have not run into a "bad Apple Update" problem.  It is possible to get a bad download, however, but that's not a problem with the updates themselves.
    Just because other users experience similar problems does not always mean the problem is with OS X or OS X updates.  Many times the problem is with poorly maintained or corrupted systems that are not repaired before updates are applied.  Inexperienced users are frequently their own worst enemy.  Also keep in mind that for every user posting a problem on the Discussions, there are thousands having no problems whatsoever.

  • Whats the difference between a German Tiger install DVD and a English one ?

    Title says it all really.
    Apples online store gives an option of German or international English Tiger (Intel). If I get a German DVD (the local language) can I install in English or not?
    Delivery time tot the international English goes up from 24hrs to 5 days
    TIA.

    You can install English language files for Tiger from the German Tiger installation DVD. The difference between the packages is likely the fact that the documentation which comes with the package is in a different language; you will get German documentation with the German package, and English documentation with the English package.

  • Tiger installer on HD?

    Has anyone tried to clone Tiger installer DVD on a external HD and installed Tiger from there? If not I'll guess I need to try it myself. In some situations it would be nice to be able to install Tiger from HD (upgrade, busted DVD etc...)

    Yes and it works.
    In fact made Netbootable installer from disk...
    My reason for doing this was speed - using DVD takes ages, using HD only 5-10 minutes !
    ONLY do this if you are making LEGAL copies.
    I needed to update 100 machines...

  • Startup from Installation DVD wont work

    I am trying to start up from my OS X Tiger Installation DVD, inserting the disc, restarting the computer, while holding C down on the keyboard, but it is continually starting up in regular mode. How can I get this to work, as I need to repair my disk volume in disk utility, and must startup from install disc somehow...
    Thanks.

    Make sure the installation disk you are using is either the disc which shipped with your Mac or a newer retail version. The disc which shipped with your Mac has your Mac's model name on it. The disc which is retail is either labeled * or * Older retail discs, and discs which came with other Macs will not boot your Mac.

  • Kernel panic when booting from Tiger install DVD

    Short version: When I try to boot up from the Tiger installation DVD, my Power Mac G5 gives me a kernel panic. Can anyone help?
    Here's the story:
    I have a Power Mac G5 that I've been running Leopard on for quite some time now. Unfortunately, the software I need to use (Final Cut Studio 1) has some incompatibilities with Leopard, so I was thinking I would put Tiger back on the machine in a separate partition on the second hard drive.
    I tried booting the Power Mac using the retail (black label) Tiger DVD and holding down the "C" key. The Apple logo appears on screen, but is immediately followed by a kernel panic. I'm never able to access the features on the disc. The same thing happens if I try holding down "option" during boot instead: I'm correctly allowed to choose whether to boot from the hard drive or the DVD, but once I choose the DVD, I get the Apple logo and then a kernel panic.
    The same Tiger DVD works fine on other computers, so I know it's not the disc. And the Power Mac itself handles everything else without problem.
    I'm kind of desperate, as I need to finish this project this week. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated!

    Boot off your *original* Install Disk while holding down the *d key*, (not c key), then run the extended Apple Hardware Test. Some disks require you to use the Option key at bootup to select AHT. Some models have a separate AHT CD. Some have it on the Disc #2.
    The Memory test can really only be trusted if it finds a problem, not if it doesn't find a problem.

  • How to transfer files from emac and tiger to iMac

    I am getting a new intel based iMac.  How can I transfer from old eMac with Tiger OS?

    What you're going to need to do is physically transfer files from your old computer to the new one. Just doing a migration will not work.
    What kind of information do you want to transfer?
    1. Connect the computers onto the same network. I'd recommend using an ethernet cable over a wireless network.
    2. On your old computer, go into system preferences> sharing> and turn on file sharing.
    3. Repeat step 2 on your new computer.
    4. On your new computer, go into the Finder, open a new window. Underneath "shared" on the left hand side you should see your old computer. Select the computer and connect as the admin user of your old computer (so use your old username and password).
    5. Inside of this finder window, you can navigate to the files you want to transfer.

  • My up to date iMac can not read the lightroom 5 installation dvd I received for christmas, the dvd player works fine with other dvd's, is there a way to download the program with the dvd's serial number?

    my up to date iMac can not read the lightroom 5 installation dvd I received for christmas, the dvd player works fine with other dvd's, is there a way to download the program with the dvd's serial number?

    No need to worry about the disk version. You would just have to install an update anyway as soon as it was installed. Download from the link provided below and use the serial number you have to activate.
