Failure 2nd installation disc

I wanted to install the IOSX to my imac G5, i installed the cd 1, it was OK, then it  asked to install cd 2, there is a failure.
I tried several times to eject the cd, it worked, but on the screen still the failure message impossible to restart the system normally, each time the installation cd 2 is required, how do I erase this message and come to a normal start?? Thankyou very much for your assistance

You should visually inspect that second disc, for any obvious smudges or scratches. 
Your profile says you have Leopard (10.5), but I didn't think Leopard came on multiple OS installation discs.  Is this an earlier Mac OS X version?  If so, which one.  I don't know what "IOSX" is...
If the Installer offers an "Options" button, to select what is being installed, it may be possible to unselect some of those options to remove the need to use the second disc.

  • IMac won't recognize 2nd installation disc for Creative Suite 5.5 Prod Premium

    Can someone help me? I bought Adobe Creative Suites 5.5 ProductionPremuim and I'm having trouble. I entered the serial number and product code and all that. It starts to install, and the first Application 1 disc installs just fine, but when it spits it out and asks for the Application 2 disc, it doesn't recognize it and keeps asking me to put in the Application 2 disc.
    I know it is not a hardware iMac issue because the drive was just replaced last month, and other CDs work just fine. Does anyone know what the problem might be? Do I need a new Application 2 disc, or am I doing something wrong? Or should I just bypass it altogether and try to download it using the same serial number?
    Thanks.
    Ben

    copy both disc's contents to a desktop folder and install from there.

  • MBP 15" 10.6 does not boot up from Installation disc, why??????

    Good day,
    my question is simple, so please let the answer be simple:
    I have done partition on my MBP today, in order to give me more redundancy in case of a Hard drive failure. I witnessed one yesterday on a brand spanking Imac--> not pretty--> the white screen of death!! I thought I´d better cover myself and I split my HD in two--> no probs.
    Anyways, I decided to try to boot from my original installation disc--> 10.5.7, Leopard.
    I booted while pressing "C", or holding "Option"……and always ended up with the same thing:
    It just takes me to a language selection screen, I selected my language, and then it takes me to the software installation--> but I don´t want that--> I just want to reboot from my disc--> as a general test. (Just in case of that dreaded white screen, one day!!)
    So, I went to to "Stop installation" in the menu above, and I chose "Reboot" and then I chose my installation disc--> and again and again, it just takes me back to the language screen etc etc etc!!
    It´s like a Merry go Round………….
    What am I missing??
    My Snow Leopard installation disc does exactly the same, by the way…………..
    Cheers,
    MXP 150 Patriot

    "perhaps I didn´t explain myself properly:
    I would like to boot up from my installation disc, in other words, being able to log in and see my Desktop etc.
    All I get from my disc is an installation menu (after the language selection) and if I try to boot up from there (to my desktop / background etc) by selecting "stop installation--> start up disc".........it goes back to the language selection and the software installation........just where I was 3 minutes ago!
    What am I doing wrong?
    My friend booted up the other day from his FireWire external hard drive and he got everything, SO quick! His personal desktop, everything!
    Hopefully you can tell me what I´m missing........."
    You're missing the point. When you boot from your installation disk it's to install the OS and/or repair the disk and check the hardware, etc.. Your friend has a bootable external drive. he used the OS Installation disk to create that.

  • Where can I obtain a genuine Mac OS X 10.5.8 Installation Disc?

    Hi everyone,
    I bought a 2nd hand Apple MacBook about 18 months ago (via eBay).  It is my first Mac.  It did not come with its original OS X 10.5.8 Installation Disc/s and I now have one or more problems with my Hard Drive, so I need the Installation Disc/s.  Can someone please advise me where I can buy the correct (genuine) version of Installation Disc/s for my MacBook, please?
    Many thanks in advance...
    Kind regards,Nigel.

    You can call Apple Customer service with the serial # of the MacBook and have new disks sent to you.....

  • "The installer disc could not be found." What the...?

    "The installer disc could not be found. Insert your Windows installer disc and wait a few seconds for the disc to be recognized."
    Trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate. I have a Mid-2011 27" iMac, maxed out Core i7, RAM, and video, updated OS X Lion (11B26), and SSD. I created a partition via Boot Camp Assistant, downloaded drivers/whatnot via BC Asst. As far as I know, there is nothing wrong with the machine.
    Purchased W7U through Parallels, they sent me the disc, started up BC Asst, and I get the above error message.
    I can clearly see the disc in Finder. What's the deal?
    (I roped myself into Parallels before I realized I didn't need it for what I wanted to do.)

    Ask the people that sent or you bought Windows from.
    There are extra steps if you have multiple disk drives like SSD and 2nd.
    Windows sees OS X and GPT on another drive and won't install but you don't get that far.
    Most people want Windows as a guest OS rather than have to dual boot though.

    You mean, Can I still run boot camp without Windows? because that is what you will have, one empty boot camp partition. Buy a copy of Windows 7.

  • Can emac installer discs be used to install OS 9.2.2 on Pismo G3?

    I have a full set of original eMac installer discs, and want to use one set to install OS9.2.2 on an Apple Pismo G3.
    Can this be done?
    I've heard Apple OEM installer discs are "Mac machine specific", and can't be used to install OS software onto other
    Apple Macs of a different model. But, I'm not sure if this is true, as there may be conflicting views on this subject.
    The OEM eMac discs I have are as follows:
    • Two (2) disc OEM set
       eMac OS X 10.4
       AHT version 2.5
       Disc version 1.1
       2Z691-5518-A
    • Five (5) disc set:
       eMac OS X and Mac OS 9
       Mac OS version 9.2.2
       CD version 1.0
       691-3981-A
    So the question is .... if OS X Tiger 10.4 has already been installed on the Pismo G3 .... can the above installer discs of (5) OS 9.2.2 be used to install OS 9.2.2 on the Pismo G3? 
    I would assume the Pismo G3 Hard drive would already have to have the OS9 drivers installed, during the OS 10.4 installation (showing an OS 9 "System Folder" on the HD, to be able to receive the OS 9.2.2 installer discs. I also understand that if installable, that the OS 9.2.2 would only open in the "Classic" mode.
    Any information as to if the above eMac OS 9.2.2 installer discs can be used to install OS 9.2.2 on the Pismo G3 ... would be appreciated.
    OR .... if other OS9.2.2 installer discs would be more appropiate, and if so, what model of Apple installer discs to use on the Pismo G3.

    dalstott:: 
    Below is the OS 9.2.2 "System Folder" that I was able to pull off the Number 1 - OEM eMac "Restore Sofware Disc". 
    It's obviously different than the first "System Folder" that I have, which I also showed above in a previous reply.
    Since the above is off the eMac OS 9.2.2 installer disc, this is the one I think would be more appropiate for copy/dragging to the Pismo G3 Hard Drive.
    Even though the Applications in the OS 9 Applications Folder are older, and probably not of much interest ... I also have the following "Applications (Mac OS 9)" folder, also taken off the eMac OS 9 installer disc. If I were to copy/drag this "Applications (Mac OS 9)" folder, to the Pismo G3 Hard Drive ... where do you think it should be placed?  In the OS 9.2.2 "System Folder" ... or separately on the main Hard Drive, with all the other main folders?
    Note: All these installer folders were "Invisable" disc folders, and only "viewable" using FileBuddy in Mountain Lion 10.8.5.

  • Start up problems, including from installation disc.

    Hello everyone in the Apple ether, I need your help!
    I have a powerpc based iMac G5 at home that I set up for my mum to use once I bought my macbook. I finally managed to win her over with talks of how much easier it would be for her to manage her photos in iPhoto, and everything was going really well. I recently came home after my final year at uni and some travelling to find that the computer is taking a long time to start up. This can be in both the grey apple loading screen but also once it logs in it can take a long time to display anything over than the desktop background, and even once it displays other items any attempt to open anything just results in a spinning wheel icon. At the worst case it has taken about 20 minutes to get going.
    Once it has fully booted, the machine doesn't appear to be working any slower than normal. I tried using disk utility in mac OSX and verifying permissions etc and that didn't do anything. I then tried googling the problem and came across this article on the apple web site. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
    Starting in Safe Mode did not resolve the issue so after backing everything up I tried starting from the installation disc. This is not something I have ever done before and as someone that never really delves beneath the surface of her machines I was a bit scared of doing it. But I put the disc in and restarted and held down C just after I heard the chime, and shortly after it all went wrong. The screen went grey and all I could see was the image you get when it crashes (you know, the power sign with text over it saying you need to restart) with lines of code all down the left of the screen. I took a photo of the screen on my camera so can give details of the code if you need them. The last line said
    Kernel version:
    Darwin Kernel Version 8.8.3: Wed Oct 18 22:00:38 PDT 2006; root:xnu-792.15.4.obj-4/RELEASE_PPC
    panic: We are hanging here...
    After a few minutes on this screen the fan started working overtime and after about 5 minutes of that I just turned it off using the power button on the back. The machine has since started up normally (ie slowly) but is working fine.
    So I was wondering if anyone had any ideas how to fix the slow start up problem without booting from my install disc, or indeed if anyone could suggest why I can't boot from my install disc? Thanks very much for your time and help.

    It appears you experienced a kernel panic which is hardware related. A few suggestions for you to try:
    Except for the keyboard & mouse, disconnect all devices from the computer & try the suggestions mentioned in the following:

    ==============
    Boot up from your Tiger or Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
    Select the language you wish to use, and then choose *"Disk Utility"* from the menu bar.
    Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the *"repair disk"* button in the right hand section of the window.
    Once this process has been completed restart your computer and run *repair permissions* from Disk Utility.
    * If Disk Utility (from the install DVD or HD)is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.

  • Need help in using mac installation disc

    hi guys, my out of warranty macbook's hdd has died on me... so i went out to get a replacement 320GB sata drive, everything was working fine, and macbook detected the hdd, i am able to install my mac osx tiger using the recovery disc, but during the last portion of the installation of disc 2, it say there is a error installing this software it always happen at the same spot, when it's trying to install garageband.
    is there something wrong with my macbook, or is it because of the installation disc, i'm at a very very lost state without my macbook T_T

    Hello,
    Since GarageBand requires 4.3 GB of drive space, check available space on the disk.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is better. Insufficient available space, can cause performance issues, system corruption, and possible loss of data.

  • Boot Camp Assistant "Windows 7 Installer disc could not be found"

    I'm attempting to Boot Camp a partition on my MacBook Pro Retina (13", early 2013) and it's not working. I purchased a Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit DVD and i'm accessing it through the optical drive on my desktop iMac. So far so good; MBP shows the disc on its desktop through remote disc sharing. The USB drive with downloaded Windows drivers is in place.
    However, Boot Camp Assistant won't recognize the Windows 7 DVD, even though it's right on the desktop (remotely). There is a dialog box and it says "Installer disc could not be found .. wait a few seconds"
    And that's it. Nothing further happens.
    Help! I hate Windows! Why am I doing this??

    Lightwave wrote:
    Thank you! I bought Windows 7 on a physical DVD (it's the Home Premium 64bit disc). Hope that was the right thing to do?
    Yes.
    So let me get this straight. I can either use this DVD directly on a superdrive plugged in to MBP, or else burn a copy to the USB stick.
    MBP will not install from an external SuperDrive due to Windows installer limitations, because it has no driver for the SuperDrive.
    How exactly do I do the latter since my own DVD reader right now is by remote disc on my iMac?
    Create an ISO using the following procedure on the iMac and then copy it over the network to the MBP or create an ISO by attaching the SuperDrive to the MBP. Use Bootcamp Assistant to point to this ISO when creating the USB for installation.
    From Disk Utility 12.x: Duplicate a disk, CD, or DVD
    Step 7 will give you an ISO, that you can then copy to the MBP.
    Duplicate a CD-RW or DVD-RW
    Disk Utility can’t create usable copies of discs with an incompatible format or discs that are copy-protected. (These include most commercial movie DVDs and audio CDs and some software and data discs.) To copy music from an audio CD to another CD, use iTunes, not Disk Utility.
    To burn a disc, you need an optical drive in your computer or connected directly to your computer. You can’t burn a disc using a remote optical drive.
    Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in Launchpad.
    Insert the CD or DVD disc in the optical drive, and select it in the list at the left.
    Choose File > New > “Disk Image from [disc name].”
    Type a name for the disk image.
    Choose an option from the Image Format pop-up menu.
    Choose “compressed” to create a smaller disk image.
    Choose “read-only” to create a disk image that’s quicker to create and open.
    Click Save.
    After Disk Utility creates the disk image, eject the original CD or DVD.
    Select the disk image in the list at the left, and choose Images > Burn.
    When the Burn Disc dialog appears, insert a blank CD or DVD, and then click Burn.
    You can continue using the disk image to create as many duplicate discs as you need.

  • How to redownload final cut pro on different computer without installation disc?

    I purchased a laptop that has final cut pro on it but it didnt come with an installation disc or anything. I need to put my final cut pro on a different computer...What can I do?

    Final Cut Pro X is an app from the Mac App Store. There is no installation disc.  Since you said it came pre-installed on your computer, I'm assuming that means you aren't able to go to the Purchased tab of the Mac App Store on a different computer to redownload it. Therefore, I would suggest using an external hard drive or FireWire or thunderbolt or USB connects,etc. to transfer the application between computers along with all the library files from the system library library and 'hidden library'

  • I bought a MBPro which came with Lion installed,i also wanted to have a copy of installation disc so i used mac app store.Normally if an app is already bought there is a warning or a sign that informs the buyer.I've charged for this download is it normal?

    Hi ,i bought a MacBookPro which came with Lion installed on it (i have registered my mac book pro right after i bought it), i also wanted to have a copy of the installation disc in case of a crash, so i used mac app store to get it.Normally if an app is already bought (for iphone app store) there is a warning or a sign that informs the buyer, than the app store lets the buyer to re-download/re-install the app.I've charged for this download afterwards, because i was using virtual credit card, there was not enough money transferred to that card during that download but the app store let me download it anyway. I haven't charged before the download, the app store first let me to download it then it requested that amount of money for next download wich it was a free app. Can anybody enlight me? thanks

    Hi ...
    i also wanted to have a copy of the installation disc in case of a crash
    If you have problems with your Mac you use Lion Recovery
    However, you can create your own installation disc >  How to create an OS X Lion installation disc | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews
    Since Lion came pre installed on your Mac, the App Store doesn't not recognize that as a purchase so you if you want to re download Lion to create a boot disk you will have to pay for it. You can then re download Lion on all your authorized Macs for free.
