How can I make apple sell me my original system restore 10.4.7 discs for my

My apple expert made me take out all but the drive I intended to erase and install, put that drive in position 1, and insisted I could install tiger from my retail tiger disc, which is 2005 PPC. I told him this, but he said it did not matter, and that I was wrong to say that it was just PPC. Of course the tiger dvd is not recognized as a bootable disc on my mac pro 1.1, nor is any startup disc on any volume created with the ppc installer. The purpose of my initial call was to purchase the 10.4.7 original system restore discs. I purchased the machine a few days ago so that I could use tiger volumes when I needed to, but still move forward with snow leopard on other drives. It came without system disks. Can I buy the disks from an outside vendor? Who? I need to use multiple OS setups.

I heartily thank everyone who posted and gave me good advice. I could tell that I got cooperation from apple only after posting this, so I did not want to respond until I actually got the discs.
Now I'm looking for an airport extreme card and I find that searching on the apple store turns up no results, only base stations. I have 3 airport cards, but sure they are all too old since they were for motorola G5's and 4's. And I'm wondering how to access svideo now... I'm nursing my aged cracked titanium powerbook because it has a pcmcia slot and svideo out, two things I use for importing cf cards and microdrives and presenting with my laser projector. The svideo cable allows the machine to be a long distance from the projector, or the projector from the amplifier. A display adapter is no help, and I have several, unless I can find a converter to svideo. I want to use a macbook 13" white plastic because of weight. Even though it can't run my video software, I can at least show things on screen and carry work back and forth, but I don't understand the refusal to address Svideo and and the card slot. SD cards only do so much, and usb readers are notorious now, everyone has to use them, and they are not reliable. Buying a heavy large mac book pro 17" does not do me any more good than lugging around my tower machine. iPad will be wonderful when it gets a keyboard and full computer functions- and runs regular software. But that is a few decades from now.
So many of my colleagues have had to buy pc laptops. They saved a lot of money.

  • How can i make apple tv 3 store all my purchased movies and tv shows onto a hard drive somewhere in my house

    Currently my apple tv 3 downloads movies/shows when I want to watch them.  I'd prefer if it downloaded everything already and it is all available locally without having to download gigabytes from the internet.
    Q: How can i make apple tv 3 store all my purchased movies and tv shows onto a hard drive somewhere in my house?
    a) Impossible
    b) Link my apple tv 3 to a computer running itunes
    c) Link my apple tv 3 to my Apple Time Machine
    d) purchase an external USB drive and plug it directly to the apple tv 3
    e) purchase a NAS drive and configure the apple tv 3 to use it
    f) [your answer here]
    Thank you,

    Hi! Dwagner, once again ...
    I've just got my Mac last friday ... i'm still getting amazed with this new world to me ... eehe .. quite different ... but
    ... "i can do it, i can do it" eheeh
    i'm in that period that a new question appears at almost every mouse click ... lol
    so ... can you help me (once again) ..
    you said you had your hard drive with this settings...
    "You can partition for OSX (extended Journal) - read/write by only OSX or read only by Windows via BootCamp
    You can partition for Windows (NTFS) - readable by only Windows
    OR - you can format with ex-FAT and this is read/write capable for both operating systems."
    how did you formated the partition in NTFS ? ... on the mac? using the "disk utility" ? or did you use another program to do so ...?
    i hope i'm not "bugging" you ... this might be a silly question for most of people ... but right now ... it's a major question for me ... ehehe
    once again Obrigado (Thank You)

  • How can I make Apple Earphones be the Input and Output for Audio

    I have some older headphones and they aren't compatible with a Mid 2010 (Intel Core i3) 21.5 Inch iMac
    Is there some way to make Apple Earphones be the Input and Output for Audio in the iMac
    This is a problem for me personally as when I am talking to someone on Skype the iMac picks up the In-built Microphone audio, and yes the headphones I'm using do work straight from the iMac as audio output
    Any help is appreciated

    you can connect the headset to something like this

  • How can I receive Apple alert via iCloud mail system?

    Currently my login ID is the same as my Gmail address.
    So, my Apple alert (that lets me know about my account info change or new login) comes to my Gmail inbox.
    However, I want to receive these stuff via iCloud mail so that I can collect my Apple alert in my iCloud mailbox.
    How can I do this?
    I'm now using my iCloud mail address with my account of which name is my Gmail address.
    Or, if possible, I want to use only my iCloud mail address as my main ID and totally get rid of my Gmail address from my Apple account.
    Plz give me a tip.
    Have a nice day.

    If you don't know your ID, you can try to find it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625.  If you don’t know your password you can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617.

  • How can I make the "Music" button on the iPhone say something other than "Music" for it's label?

    Hi,
    The question is in the post title. I would like to change the icon which says "MUSIC" on the iPhone (formerly used to say "iPod" in the older O.S.'s) to something else. Let's say I want it to say "Audio" instead. Basically, in yet other words, I want to remane this icon to something else.
    Is this possible to do? If so, how can I go about it?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    You can't.

  • How can I install the programms again after a system restore?

    After my system went down, right after installation of the programms with the Adobe Applicaton Manager, I had to restore the system. Of course by then all the installed applications weren't working.
    I will have to reinstall them. But unfortunately I can't download and install the applications again because AAM thinks they are allready installed. Thus far nothing works. Who can help me?

    Run the Cleaner tool to remove all the Adobe Software and then check in the AAM.
