Help! Help! trouble installing 10.4.

Hello all. I am really having a tough time with this install. Any help will be greatly appreciated. thank you. So, I am running a g4 dual 450 processor. the model before the quicksilver. I am doing a full clean sweep upgrade. I had OS 9.2 and 10.2.8 I received panther for a birthday present. I just installed the upgrade to panther last night. Well, I really want to be current with OS so i went and got 10.4
I was so excited and was really looking forward to using the cool little widgets. I popped in the 10.4 cd and restarted the computer. The install began and the first window pops up. asking me what language to use. I choose English and the next windows pops open for a split second. I then get a pop up window telling me that "This Software Can Not be Installed on This Computer" I have tried differenet things like using startup disk and starting directly from the cd. I dont know what to do. Please Please, any help will be greatly appreciated. I am sure you can tell, I am a newbie. Looking forward to hearing from any one of you.
thank you again

Have you got the latest firmware?
Check here for details.
Have you tried reformatting the hard drive? If you don't want to keep anything on there just go ahead or backup your details first if there's something you want to keep.
Use the Utilities menu from the Installer DVD and select Disk Utilty to do the job.

hello
i am having major trouble installing itunes. i had itunes working fine and i went to update it as it told me there was an update which i thought i did. i went on my laptop the next day and it said "itunes was not installed correctly error 7 windows error 998"
i read a few articles on here but i am having no joy. i uninstalled itunes and reinstalled and that did not work. i also unistalled some other apple things cant remember the names sorry!
i am not a whiz on a computer so really need some help please!!

Installing, and uninstalling, applications never touches or removes the data.
Clean out and uninstall all the apple programs and software thru Programs and manually.
Might want to use Revo and CCleaner
I always use manual standalone installers (and keep a couple backup versions)
itunes 10.5 may affect iTunes media playlists, not sure, depends on what you have.
A search of these forums will show some threads.
I'd clean up vista, you need SP2 or later, and specific error message?
I wonder as you arenot the first with a dell if maybe the OS or included software.
Security programs like Norton and older versions of Kaspersky have been implicated.
Also settings in IE that affect pop-ups and plug-ins.

You'll continue to have trouble, because...
There is no more Flash Player for Android and there won't be another. Android is no longer compatible with Flash Player. Playing Flash content is very processor consumptive and it drains your battery, also shortening the life of it. Android (Google) recommends using either "Dolphin" or "Puffin" as your browser if you need to view Flash content with a mobile device running Android. They're both free in the GooglePlay store.
These browsers use "server side" rendering to reduce the load on your device.

You may be able to load the OS from your other MBP disks, if they are the same modal MBP...
You could also do a clone of your other MBP to the blank one, use Carbon Copy Coner and a FireWire cable.

I am having trouble installing Lion on a partitioned hard drive. Help?

Aloha:
I am having trouble installing Lion on a partitioned hard drive
I have three internal HD's The first I am running the system on 10.6.8 (which is up to date) , the second I do most of my work on and the third I have partitioned into two and I am trying to install Lion on one of the patitions.
But Lion has decided it will only go on the first HD.
Above is the one I want to put it on, but it's not available and I can't change the partition scheme. None of the things the directions state are usable??
What might I be doing wrong?
Thanks
Dan Page

Thanks again for a rapid responce.
I finally got lion on one partition and my daily "SilverKeeper" backup on the other.
Since the only thing I had on the two partition Hard drive was the back up and since the backup would get put on tonight any way I changed the drive to no partitions. This gave me the ability to choose the GUID option, which I did and then I installed two partitions and successfuly istalled Lion on one of them. I even tied Lion into the iCloud successfuly.
But I am not out of the woods yet! I brought My brand new iPad to lunch and was informed that my iPad was synced to my Lion at home and I was on the cloud. That blew my mind, I was impressed.
I then read the Daily news with out problem, however, when I shut down my iPad, that was all she wrote. I can not get the iPad back on. The best I could do was see the revolving gear start and then freeze. It's on charge now and I can not even get rid of the frozen gear.
Not sure this all has anything to do with the recent installation on my main computer, but it's mighty suspicious.
Need some help!!
Thanks
Dan

Help! Trouble installing CS3 Design Premium

I have trouble installing CS3 Design Premium. I am using Windows XP. I had to deinstall CS3 after my PC had a little crash. Now I want to install CS3 again. But at the beginning there comes an error message "Setup is already running. You can install only ONE adobe product at the same time. Shut the other installation before starting the installation of CS3."
The point is, there is NO OTHER installation running at the moment - so far as I know.
I tried already the following, but there was the same error message:
- to start the installation by another user
- to start it from the protected mode.
- to start it by desktop installation.
Please, can anybody help me??
Thanks a lot!!!!

Help with installing OSX Lion on iMac with broken display

Hi,
Having some trouble installing OSX Lion on my 5 year old iMac which has a broken display.
The display has been dead for a couple of years now and I've been using an external monitor without any problems. Today I decided to upgrade to Lion - I downloaded the installer from the App Store and started the install which rebooted the machine. After reboot I'm presented with a grey 'thatched' background image on the external display and nothing else, no menu bar, installation menu etc.
I presume the internal display is showing the menu I need but I can't see it as that screen is broken. Is there a way to turn on mirroring during the install process so I can use my external display? I've tried various shortcuts held down during startup - OPTION-F14, CMD-F1, CMD-F2 - but none have worked.
If this isn't possible, is there a way to abort the Lion install process and go back to using my Snow Leopard install? Whenever I boot the machine I am taken to the OS X Lion installer and don't know how to get back to my Snow Leopard install. I tried holding down OPTION key on startup to choose the list of available OS installs, but again, the internal display is being used so I can't see what to do.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Genius idea, thank you. Was able to step through the install procedure using voiceover and the screenshots on this page http://www.macstories.net/mac/os-x-lion-installation-guide-boot-discs-and-qa/
Definitely a first for me, installing an OS with voice only

HELP! - Installing Fonts

I'm having trouble installing some fonts for an InDesign CS2 file. It's the ITC Garamond family and to be honest, I've never had to install fonts before so am not sure i'm even doing it right the first time. I have ATM Deluxe but it doesn't seem to be working. How do I do this...do I install them through ATM or do I just copy them into the InDesign Fonts folder?? What concerns me is that when I look at the font files, they appear as "unknown file types". I think that the original designer who put the fonts on the disc worked on a Mac...would that make a difference? Please help! Thanks.

That's correct.
You say you copied these OpenType fonts to C:\...\Adobe InDesign CS4\Fonts. They should be available to ID from there. Some fonts don't appear in the lists the alphabetical order you expect (They get sorted by language family and by typeface family), but that shouldn't affect find font or the missing fonts warning. You really copied these files, not just a shortcut to some removeable media that you removed?
What happens if instead of putting them into the private fonts folder you open Windows' fonts folder and File > Install New Font... and navigate to where they are stored in the package?

Satellite A200-13O: Help in installing Vista Ultimate from Basic

I need help in installing Windows Vista Ultimate in my A200-13O.

Based on the driver download section I need the following drivers to be installed.

3 Intel 945GM Display Driver
or
3 nVIDIA G72MV-A3/NB7P-GS Display Driver

5 Realtek 10/100 8101E/ Gigabit 8111B LAN Driver

I have already downloaded most of them but I can't find some like [2] Intel ICH7M Chipset Utility, [11] Intel Kedron Wireless LAN Driver, [23] TOSHIBA Speech System. Also some of the drivers are not installing properly.
Can you please help me out.

The chipset driver you can get on the Intel webiste
www.intel.com
But I think the driver could also be in the display driver because its the same chip.
The WLAN driver I have found on the Toshiba website so download and install it.
The speech system could be integrated in the sound driver.
But download and install all drivers and the system will work.
