Help with installation of OS X 10.4.6 Full retail version (new)

First, you can still purchase Tiger from Apple (I just did), but not Panther.
I have a G4 Cube, 450 MHz, 384MB memory, 40 GB harddrive
On the hard drive I have OS 9.2.2 and OS 10.1
I don't use the 10.1 and never have so it has not been upgraded at all. I seem to remember that I did try to do some updates but they always failed, or I just couldn't for some reason. It just wouldn't download them. So I stopped trying as I didn't use it anyway. But now I want to install OS 10.4.6 and use that so I can use a current browser.
Apple says what the system I have will run it.
I see by the installation instructions I cannot do an up-grade installation as I do not have OS 10.2. It says I can do a installation and archive the old 10.1 but I don't really need to do that as there is nothing in it I want to keep. I do want to keep OS 9.2.2 as all the files I need are in it.
I don't think I want to do a clean install (as I don't have a way to back up files except for a flash drive), or do I?
I need some advice!

Your only choice is to do the Archive & Install, you can later get rid of the 10.1 install because it'll be in a folder called Previous Systems.
Other wise the whole HD gets wiped pretty much.
Hopefully you have a Backup of your OS9/important stuff.

Need help with installation

I recently received a laptop from school to access my online classes. When I tried to use Adobe Reader I received the following message: Adobe Reader 9.1 has encountered a problem and needs to close. Sorry for the inconvenience. I tried tech support at school and was told to uninstall and reinstall the program. During the installation process I received the following error: Error 1321 The installer has insufficient privileges to modify the file C:/Program Files/Adobe/Reader 9.0/Reader/Onix32dll. I need this program for school. Can some one please help me.

Hello again, Michael,
Was unable to do the UAC changes. Buttons where not highlighted. I just went ahead and uninstalled Adobe and downloaded Foxitsoftware and it works. Thanks for all your help Michael you have made my online school experience better.
Sincerely,

Subject: Need help with installation
Hello again, Sherri:
It's my pleasure to provide assistance when I can :•) Having just recently graduated after 7 years of effort just to get a 2-year degree, I can relate to needing software to get class work accomplished. I will do everything I can to make it happen for you today.
Since you didn't mention, the UAC setting, I'd like you to disable it for me if it isn't already:
1. Open Control Panel
2. Under User Account and Family settings, click on the "Add or remove user account"
3. Click on any user account
4. Under the user account click on the "Go to the main User Account page" link.
5. Under "Make changes to your user account", click on the "Change security settings" link
6. In the "Turn on User Account Control (UAC) to make your computer more secure" click to unselect the "Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer". Click on the Ok button.
7. You will be prompted to reboot your computer - do so when ready
You may need to uninstall/reinstall Reader after the reboot in order for the problem to go away, but that part I am not certain of. Try to duplicate the issue prior to taking that step.
If you are unable to resolve issues with Adobe Reader, I recommend using a different reader that has much less bloat and is updated regularly:
http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/
FoxIT is a FREE alternative to using Adobe's Reader. Support for free Adobe products is limited forums such as this. The same holds true for open source alternatives except the manufacturer usually helps support their forums while Adobe doesn't monitor this forum or any like it. I know how important it is for you to focus on your classes so don't beat your head against a wall just because Reader won't work when a viable solution exists.
Best of success in your pursuit of knowledge!

Help with installation of Jaguar 10.2

Really need some expertise help. I have a Power PC G4 currently running
OS 9.2.2 and have the installation disks for Jaguar 10.2. I'm still using
my old Quark 4.0, Photoshop 5.0 programs that I am completely satisfied
with. I need to get the OSX 10.2 installed but it will not fully install.
The first disk installs fine, but when the machine restarts and the prompt
comes up to install disk 2 is where the problem lies. It will briefly flash
up the next step window but then the screen goes to blue and stays there.
The first disk will not eject as it should. I am considering biting the bullet
and replacing this unit but would like to know if there is a way around this.
I purchased the unit used and it was running the Leopard system and it all
went well for the first week until I went to install my printer software
and was completely locked out with an administrator password issue. Another
friend suggested that I just do a complete reinstall, erasing all the
previous systems that were on the machine. Classic 9.2.2 installed perfectly
but OSX 10.2 does not.
This machine speed is 450 MHz, built in memory of 384MB, carbon lib 1.4.
I have upgraded the firmware, zapped the pram, unplugged all the externals
and have tried loading with just the basic extensions turned on and nothing
has worked.
I am also looking into another G4 running Tiger 10.4 but needed to know if I
would be able to use my classic with that.

Ohluckyme:
I suspect that by a PowerPC G4 450 MHz you mean a PowerMac G4 450 MHz. This would be either the AGP Graphics or Gigabit Ethernet. Whichever it is, it will support OS 9 up to Tiger (10.4.11), but it does not meet the technical specifications for Leopard. However, both these have very small Hard Disk Drives on the low end, so if you have the 10 GB HDD, I would recommend replacing it before installing OS X, which needs a minimus of 5 GB free space on HDDs 40 GB or less, and 15% on HDDs larger than 40 GB.
I suggest that you consider either Panther (10.3.9) or Tiger (10.4.11) along with OS 9. I further suggest that you backup your data, then completely reformat and erase the HDD before installation. (Post back for step by step directions for reformat and installation). You will need the Full Retail Version of either Panther or Tiger.
Please do post back with further questions or comments.
Cheers

Help is not possible without a four digit database version.
Also what kind of help do you require? You can't read documentation?
In that case: This forum is not the place to behave like a 2 year old and to ask your mummy to hold your hand.
The procedure is documented, please read it, and don't ask doc questions.

I have a MacBook Pro Late 2011 and I'm wondering if I install Windows 7 Ultimate to this MacBook Pro with this Full Retail Version. And if so, which bit to use either 32-bit or 64-bit since I have both disks.

I have a MacBook Pro Late 2011 and I'm wondering if I install Windows 7 Ultimate to this MacBook Pro with this Full Retail Version. And if so, which bit to use either 32-bit or 64-bit since I have both disks.

64 bit.
32 bit won't use all your computer's ram.
64 bit allows you to run 32 bit programs
Your computer is 64 bit
New programs use 64 bit.
There is no reason to use the 32 bit version of Windows.

Could you help with installation of flash player?

I am experiencing problems with installation of flash player on my computer. I have Windows 7 with 2.77 Ghz and 64 bit system. I get a message that says, "Close Internet Explorer." I close it and the download still is unable to go through. It stops at 50%. I have also gone to my tool bar and disabled ActiveX as suggested. What else do I need to do to be able to download the Flash Player?
Thank you.

Help with installation problems for PE 12; error while installing Shared Technologies. Suggestions?

Help. I've tried to install PE12 multiple times without success due to shared technology installation failure. The install gets right to the end and then fails when trying to launch and uninstalls. Per the help suggestions, I downloaded the ASA, which identified no problems.
Very frustrating.
Any suggestions for someone who is not too tech savvy?
Thanks.

In Windows what has always worked for me is ending any already running PSE/PRE processes from previous or current versions - look for anything with 'Elements' in the name, and 'dynamiclinkmanager.exe'. Then I run the setup program by right-clicking and selecting 'Run as Administrator'. This runs the setup program with even higher privileges than a user account with Administrator privileges.

New to Oracle- Need help with installation from cmd shell.

Hello!
I am writing a script to automate the installation of Oracle Forms and Reports 6i in XP through cmd.exe. The script works great, but the command is incomplete.
Currently the command in the script is "setup -responseFile directory\response.rsp".
This is supposed to generate a .rsp file containing all the options I selected in the custom installation (so I can simply call that file in future implementations of this script to automatically get all those settings), but it does not.
Does any one know what might be wrong: why isn't this generating the response file?
Or, do you know the arguments for the command so that I don't even need a response file?
I've googled this about a dozen times and found nothing very helpful.
Any advice is appreciated.
P.S. I've also tried -record -destinationFile. No luck with that either.

Madrid,
I had already tried that with no success. Just to be sure, I tried it again a moment ago exactly as you have it written except for the location name ("setup.exe -record -destinationFile \\directory\response.rsp"). Again, I don't see a response file.
I have viewed the link you sent me as well. Unfortunately, it looks like a I need to use the Universal Installer? I don't see anything like that in my installation directory. Am I completely missing something? Oracle is a whole new bag for me.

Desperately need help with installation

Right, so I bought the student pack for the Creative Suite5 Design Premium.
The first of my problems came when I was trying to install acrobat 9. The problem was that halfway through verification, the setup wizard said that Windows Installer needed to be closed for it to finish verifying, which is really confusing because it was Windows Installer running the installation i nthe first place.
So I tried installing the Design Premium suite itself, I was informed that the minimum requirements were not met for a number of products. I deselected the ones I did not need until I was left with adobe photoshop cs5 and adobe indesign cs5. Both of these did not meet system requirements, even though I did a check on this website itself for the requirements. I found that I actually exceeded the minimum requirement needed so I still don't understand why the installation won't work.
I am an art student doing digital painting so I would really appreciate swift help. This is a really frustrating issue.
Thanks.

Could you please post your machine configuration, OS, RAM, Processor details and resolution on which you are installing. Please post PDApp.log file from C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Temp\PDApp.log
and ignore all the warning messages and try installing. These are just kind of warnings and does not stop installation, if any application does not support the environment, that particular application will have trouble working with.
Thanks,
Tahseen

Need Help With Installling Classic on OS X Panther??

Hi: When I installed OS X Panther, I wasn't aware that in order to run Classic 9, I needed 9.2. Well, I purchased 9.2 but everytime I install it it's giving me an error message. I've checked the disk as well as my HD and everything seems to be fine. I've turned off screensaver, unplugged my printer and disconnected the cable to the internet. What's up? It still won't install. It keeps saying there were errors in installing. Can anyone help me out here. I'd sure appreciate it.
