Got a g3 powerpc 256mb dvd reader but can't install tiger

hi,
while trying to install tiger from a dvd , it installs then gets stuck at verifying destination volume everytime. I can't use my new ipod untill i install tiger so what can i do please? I have mac osx 10.2.8 version at the moment and its not modern enough for the ipod video and i don't want to have wasted my money on something that doesn't install. It is very annoying.
please help me
thanks

Your Mac is not fast enough to handle a modern iPod without laboring through long music syncings. The fastest it will be able to go is 12 Mbps or about 1.5 MByte Per second, or for 192kbps MPEG-3 it will take 45 seconds to transfer a single hour of music if no other USB devices are connected. Your Mac won't necessarily power the iPod. You could sell the iPod, and get one of these models:
or
Which is 30 times faster than the USB 1.1 included with your iBook. Only the iBook G4, and faster Macs have USB 2, which is what newer iPods need for reasonable transfer speed.
Your Mac should be able to install Tiger, but only if you are using the retail version which looks like this disk . The gray disks won't work on your machine. I'd also double your RAM by purchasing RAM that is PC100 SoDIMM made for your iBook from http://www.crucial.com/ or other lifetime warranty vendor that knows iBooks.

  • Is there an app that runs on iMac that can display movies on an NAS drive as thumbnails? I have someone who cannot read but can select from pictures what they want to do or watch

    We have a person living with us who cannot read but can use our integrated AV systems with out TV's because it is all picture or thumbnail based
    For movies we have on a NAS drive I would like for the person to be able to connect to the NAS drive and choose a movie
    on the home AV system this is done using an interface that shows all the movies as a tile with a graphic, generally the DVD cover photo or similar
    I was hoping for something similar with the iMac
    thanks in anticipation

    The iPhoto app provides the capability to delete all the photos in the Camera Roll.

  • I got an update message for iOS 7 but can't download as it keeps shutting down and the wheel goes so slow that you can hardly see it moving and says it will take 5-6 hours to download approx. 64 megabytes

    Which way are you trying to update - iTunes or WiFi in the iPad settings? Try switching from one method to the other method. If you don't have a computer and need to use WiFi, try closing all apps and then reboot your iPad and try again.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of all of the apps in the recents tray. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar when you are done.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    It wouldn't hurt to reboot your router either by unplugging it from power for about 30 seconds, plug it back in, let it fully start up and then try to update again.

  • Can open adobe reader, but can't open a pdf.

    can open adobe reader, but can't open a pdf.  have uninstalled reader 2 times and reinstalled it, but still get same results.  running windows xp.

    Three things to try...
    Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • Can I install Tiger in a Dual 500 MHz PowerPC G4?

    Can I install Tiger in a Dual 500 MHz PowerPC G4, or is it better to stick with 10.3.9? I'm having some problems so I was going to wipe he hard drive and re-build everything from scratch o I was wondering if migrating to OS X 10.4.9 is worthwhile or even compatible with this PCU. Thanks.

    Yes you can run 10.4 on your dual 500, I have a dual 450 (I overclocked it to 550...) and it runs pretty fast. You need a minimum 192 MB of RAM to install it and a minimum 128 MB of RAM to run it. I would suggest having at least 512 MB of RAM when running 10.4.
    What problems are you experiencing? If it's just lagging and seeming slow it may just be worthwhile to clean some temp files and clean up your disk. IMHO, 10.4 is a much better system than 10.3, and runs much smoother. I can guarantee you that your system will run much smoother if you wipe the disk clean and put a fresh install of 10.4 on there, and also get a decent amount of RAM in there. After I upgraded my RAM to 1.5 GB, I noticed a substantial difference in speed, and got a lot less spinning color wheels. But one thing that you need to always keep in mind is to KEEP YOUR DISK CLEAN!!! Clean the temp files often and limit your internet downloading. If you keep your computer on all of the time, restart it every once in a while. There's a lot of little things you can do to increase speed in OS 10.4. Use spotlight and recent applications. Fill up your dock. Don't clutter the desktop, etc. There's plenty of articles on the net to help increase speed without adding anything else to your system, just navigating through the OS differently.

  • Can you install tiger on a power mac g4 with out a DVD drive if so how, I do have have a 2011 iMac can I use that in target disk mode with a FireWire cable any help would be appreciated

    Can you install tiger on a power mac g4 with out a DVD drive if so how, I do have have a 2011 iMac can I use that in target disk mode with a FireWire cable any help would be appreciated

    Hello,
    You need to put the Tiger Install Disc in the 2011 iMac, boot the 2011 uMac into Target mode...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
    Boot the G4 holding the Option or alt key, hopefully the Install Disc in the 2011 iMac will show as a boot choice.
    We just want to use the 2011 iMac as a big expensive FW Optical drive, it cannot be installed osing the 2011 iMac itself.

  • Have purchased a new computer but can not install elements 12 since it has been installed on old laptop.  Is there a small fee to be able to do this.  Never installed the video editing portion, can this be installed with no problem?

    Have purchased a new computer but can not install elements 12 since it has been installed on an older laptop.  This is a one time user program, is there a code that can be put in or a small fee to pay to be able to use the program again.  Never installed the video editing and hoping this can be installed with no problem.

    If the laptop is still connected Launch Elements in Expert Mode. Go to the help menu and sign-out. That will deactivate usage on the laptop.

  • Have Mac OS X 10.4.11; bought Quickbooks and it requires 10.6; updated to 10.6 but can't install because it won't open without 10.5

    Have 10.4.11; bought Quickbooks and it wants 10.6; upgraded to 10.6 but can't install because it won't open without 10.5. Don't see upgrade for 10.5 in download list.

    Hi Loraine,
    Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) was between Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard).  If your Quickbooks program indicates it requires Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and you've installed that, then you've done what you can (you can't install 10.5 when you already have 10.6 installed...you are already more up to date).
    It sounds like you are having an issue with the Quickbooks program so you may wish to contact those that make / support that application.
    Cheers.

    I have paid my subscription for Adobe Acrobat Pro but can not install it… I always get an error message …also I did not receive any instalation code...

    With the subscription you sign in with your Adobe ID that you used to order the subscription. By installation code, I assume you mean serial number. You do not get one with the subscription, but use your Adobe ID.
