Help...Installing Mac X Tiger for first time.

I have been in the shadows running OS 9.2.2 refusing to jump on the OS X band wagon. Well, all that is about to change. I have one concern. I use Microsoft Outlook Express as my email client and I'm worried that installing Tiger will wipe out all my very important emails. I was hoping to back up my emails but outlook wont let me save them off the program. Will Tiger delete all my emails or is there a way to save them?

Did you tell him you had an Intel Mac or just a Mac? If the former then you were misinformed by the person. If the latter then you didn't provide sufficient information so they thought you meant any non-Intel Mac.
Do you have two gray label DVDs that should have come with the computer? They will say OS X Installer Disc One and OS X Installer Disc Two. If you don't have these you need to contact the seller and have him/her send them to you. They should come with the computer and you are entitled to them.
You can return the version of Tiger you purchased and have your money refunded. Just explain that you thought it would work on an Intel Mac and now realize that's wrong. Or tell them the sales person misinformed you.
Unless you have the installer discs that come with the computer you cannot reinstall OS X. If you cannot get the discs from the eBay seller then you will have to call AppleCare and see about purchasing replacements.

    Mac 10.9.5 trying to launch Illustrator CS6 for first time and won't launch, prompts for Java 6 even though I have Java 8 installed!
    Apple says Java 6 is very insecure and not to use it.  I have the latest Java installed.  Why won't Illustrator launch?  What else can I do?

    tm,
    I believe you should be able to get round the issue by following this:

  • HT204380 help. tried for first time to use FaceTime with another iPhone user & it would not work. "FaceTime failed". we are both on wi-fi networks & iTunes accounts are set up correctly.

    help. tried for first time to use FaceTime with another iPhone user & call refused to connect. Call would dial, allow us to accept call, then error message "FaceTime failed" would appear & call disconnect. we are both on wi-fi networks, both phones have updated software & both enabled FaceTime with iTunes logged in. don't know what else to do to get FaceTime to connect. Someone please help.

    Thanks Helen for the response. At least you can get some of the contacts to work. Absolutely none of mine will. Feel like my phone is cheating me out something it should do. Think I'm going to just have to dump all the Apple products in general because this phone hasn't worked right since I got it.

  • HT1178 I'm setting up airport for first time. I'm getting error no DNS servers help

    I'm setting up airport for first time. Getting error no DNS servers. What is DNS server and how do I fix this?

    DNS server is that translation from a website address in words meaningful to us.. eg www.google.com to an actual number that computers can use. Without DNS the internet may work but you would have to know the ipv4 address of every site you want to visit.
    Whenever you don't know the meaning of a term just type wiki plus the term in google search.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System
    We cannot really help fix the problem without knowing a good deal more info.
    So
    What modem do you have.. make and model may be a help?
    Who is your ISP.. may be helpful??
    Is the modem also a router?
    How is the TC connected to the modem?
    How is the computer connected to the TC?
    A primary example of where you get this problem is a pure cable modem.. ie has no router in it.
    When you replace an existing computer or router that is plugged into it, with the TC, requires that you power cycle the modem. In some cases the off time is 5min.. for a lot of services, it needs to be off 20min.. and for some even longer.. maybe an hour or overnight.
    But it is not worth getting into specifics without knowing the rest of the system.

    i am using for first time the time machine and an external hard drive because I want to erase my macbook and start from zero files. Am i keeping my files in the portable hard disk when I will connect it again with the macbook or the time machine will erase all?
    I would like to know if after I erase all my data, empy hard drive inside the macbook, the time machine will erase all my files that I have saved in my "WD "My passport" external hard drive

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Time Machine has to erase the external disk in order to make backups. Before setting Time Machine up, copy the files of your external disk to the hard disk of the Mac in order not to lose them, and then, set up Time Machine. The first backup will start automatically.
    If you want more information about Time Machine, read the Pondini's site > http://pondini.org

    I was hoping it would be something like a USB device conflict, but now the shuffle is the only thing connected...
    This article was one of the ones you linked to above in your initial post
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369
    Under Part 9. Verify that USB drivers are installed, did you try the steps in If only "Unknown Device" appears?  That appears to be your situation.
    Also, you said that the shuffle initially worked well enough to do a sync, then it had the same problem again.  If you can get it to work again initially, before doing anything else, try the following.  Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES.  Over to the right, go to the Summary tab.  By default, the checkbox for Enable disk use should be unchecked.  If so, check it and Apply the change.  See if that makes any difference. 
    (If Enable disk use was already checked, try unchecking it and Apply the change.  Basically, set it the "other way" and see if there is any improvement.)
    NOTE:  When disk use is enabled, you have to eject the iPod in iTunes before disconnecting it physically.
    If the disk use change makes a difference, that may provide a clue about the actual cause.

    Just connect it to a computer's USB port.
    Most wall chargers are dual voltage (110- 220 volts) and only require a plug adopter. Check the wall charger to see if yours is.

  • Using Apple TV for first time - to rent a movie.  Logged in successfully - billing info updated.  Keep getting message to log into Itunes on PC - movie won't load on TV

    using Apple TV for first time - to rent a movie.  Logged in successfully - billing info updated.  Keep getting message to log into Itunes on PC - movie won't load on TV -
    any advice?

    3GB for a movie? That's almost equivalent to an original DVD. 
    Have you checked in the Recently Added playlist?
    I think this is possibly linear.  Select 'normal' in HB, iTunes accepts it; select 'high quality' in HB iTunes doesn't.  I can't say why; I don't have any video that anywhere approaches 3GB in size.  If that's how iTunes behaves I don't see you have too many options.  You either select normal and it works, or you select HQ and live with playing the movie outside of iTunes.
    I won't ask what movie because any help with illegally ripped copy protected DVDs is strictly prohibited by the Terms of Use so I'm assuming this is a 6 hour video of your puppy playing on the floor.

  • Lov is not validating when i open a form for first time

    hi all,
    i am using form6i.
    i have one multi record block. in which lov is attached to it.
    but when i open the form for first time the item corresponding the above said is not showing and if i enter the value then also its not validating against. its showing error frm-40210
    but when i click on other item and come to this item Lov is showing.
    what could be the reason for this strange behaviour.
    i have checked set_item_properties too(there is properties have been set)
    Please advice.
    Thanks..

    FRM-40210: Search string not found.
    what could be the reason for this strange behaviour.Do you have an "Initial Value" set for the item? Do you have the "Validate from list" property set to yes or are you setting the initial value through code?
    Hope this helps,
    Craig B-)
