How do I boot or install Mac OS X 10.4.11?

I have 10.4.11 on disk and copied it to a flash drive, can someone tell me how to boot or install it on to my old iMac 400MHz PPC less than 512 MB SDRAM Computer? Even Ideas Are Ecepted! Please help. I cant install it to the computwer because the slot dvd reader wont work or i'd be fine. Thnx in advance!

You cannot boot that old computer from a USB port, as I recall. But you can try:
Boot Using OPTION key:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
"OPTION" key.
3. Release the key when the boot manager appears.
4. Select the flash drive's disk icon.
5. Click on the arrow button below the icon.

How to get rid of install.mac - conduit - bing override when performing search in safari?

I downloaded paintbrush through safari on my mac. Now whenever I perform a search (writing text in the url area), i am redirect to install.mac - conduit - bing. How to get rid of it?

Okay i had the exact same thing aswell and it drove me crazy! I'm pretty sure i got it by downloading Paintbrush as well I finally figured out how to get rid of it tho, even after calling apple support which resulted with no solution.
- First try to reset safari by clicking the safari tab next to the apple logo (top left), then select reset safari from the drop down box (make sure all boxes are ticked aswell)
- Then after safari has reset go to preferences and select the privacy tab. Then go to the section Cookies and other websites data and select details.
after that select Remove all.
- Also make sure that your default search engine is https://www.google.com (or whatever you prefer) and that in the extentions tab there are no dodgy add-ons and things.
- You can then exit safari,
(here comes the tricky bit)
- You will need to go to you finder and select the Painbrush App, then move that b**** to the trash.
- Once that is gone, go to the search bar in finder and type in Paintbrush.
- Then click the +icon just below the search bar.
- You will then want to select the ^
- Once the brop down box appears select other
- You will then need to search System Files in the search bar, and then tick the box next to it, then press ok.
- After that click the ^ and change it to
- You will then see many files. BE VERY VERY CAREFUL NOT TO DELETE IMPORTANT FILES!!!
- Some files will have the word conduit or plugin and such, so try move all of them to the trash. Again, try not to delete important files and folders, if your not sure about some just leave them, but when i did it it was fairly clear which ones to trash. (i also went and deleted any of the apps i didnt think were great/trustworthy)
- Once you feel that all the nasty files are gone you can reopen safari and hopefully everything will be back to normal!
It seriously took me so long to figure this out and i'm so glad that i did, especially because there were not many articles on how to. Hope it works for you as well, if you have any questions or clarifications feel free to ask!

How do I boot up my Mac with the install disk (other problems)?

Hi there,
My Mac ran out of battery the other day and when plugged back into the mains failed to load up other than the blue screen with the Apple logo, followed by the circular progress bar and a long rectangular progress bar (which I assume is disk repair). The disk repair bar tends to get about one-third of the way across, then starts again. After the second time, the Mac chooses to give up and turns itself off - I'm assuming this isn't a fan problem as it seems to switch itself off at exactly the same point each time.
I have tried loading the Mac from the install disk by holding down C on startup, but I can't get to the install screen. I've also tried loading by holding down the shift key, but the system won't load up in safe mode.
I experienced a similar problem earlier this year, but was able to reinstall the Mac and this solved the problem. This time, I'm struggling to get things working. Everything else seems to have been working up until now.
I'd really appreciate any help that you can give me,
Many thanks,
Michael

Do you mean iTunes library?
iTunes account is what you use to make iTunes purcahses.
iTunes library is what is on your computer.
It says my phone can only be set up woth one itunes account. How do I remove the previous account?
No, it tells you it can only be sync'd with one iTunes library.
Simplest way is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder (thisis the iTunes library) from old computer to new computer.

How to make boot camp install my windows 7 ISO without a Cd? Broken optical drive...

So yeah, my internal optical drive is dead and i am not paying for a repair nor an external drive.
Boot camp keeps prompting me to install a windows 7, but tough luck for me doing that. I found a tutorial online that suggests modifying the info.plist file of Boot Camp Assisant like so:
once all of the above is complete you can edit the 'info.plist' file in TextEdit (or another editor, like Xcode if you prefer). what you want to do is add a string to let 'Boot Camp Assistant' recognize your machine like it would a Macbook Air. use the 'System Profiler' Hardware Overview to identify your "Model Identifier" (i.e. mine is: MacBookPro5,2). using this, you can write your model into the file using a line like:
<string>MBP52</string>
this string should be placed in the array section found at the very end of 'info.plist'. it is recommended to add it to the end or beginning of the array ..for me it needed to be at the beginning.
you will know this is successful by opening 'Boot Camp Assistant' and finding all three tasks are now available.. the first choice being "Create a Windows 7 install disk".
I tried doing just that, but my macbook's System profiler ID'ed it as MacBook 5,1 so my string looked like: <string>MB51</string>
Go figure, i'm not seeing the new options to install windows ISO to a external usb drive...
Ive been having problems with this for three days, I NEED HELP

How to eject boot disk from mac mini

I have a 1.66/duo mac mini on 10.4.11. I trying to upgrade to 1.5.4, but the installation procedure said that it was impossible on this computer. Now I cant eject de 10.5.4 installation disc

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
After you get the disk out of your computer, is the disk a grey disk from another Apple system? If yes, you won't be able to use it to upgrade, as you need a black retail disk. The grey disks are locked to the systems they are manufactured for and identified on the label.

HT1899 How do i boot to mac after boot camp

How do i boot back to mac after boot camp? I was in the middle of installing windows 7 when i received an error message saying the partition needs to be in a diff format ( NFTS ). I tried restarting my mac but now its saying "no bootable device - insert boot disk"

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You have to format the volume using NTFS in Windows installer. After you've installed Windows, press X key while your computer is starting to start in Mac OS X

HT4818 I have installed bootcamp that worked properly. Then I have partitioned the OS X 10.8.2 and installed another OS X 10.8.2 and I have got two MAC boot options and Bootcamp disappeared from the Option menu. How can I boot Windows again and keep both

I have installed bootcamp by the bootcamp assistant and worked properly.
Then I have partitioned the OS X 10.8.2 and installed another Mountain Lion System and I have got two MAC boot options and Bootcamp disappeared from the Option menu. However, Bootcamp still remained in the Startup Disk in the System Preferences. When I tried to boot Bootcamp using the Startup Disk it did not boot and received a message that there is no bootable device. I have not lost any data and can read Bootcamp partition from both OS X systems. Please advise how can I boot Windows / Bootcamp again? Thank you.

Recommendation 1: Use a VM for this. It's essentially a giant C.F. to do this with native booting, and is potentially fragile.
But if you're going to ignore that and do this anyway, realizing that it can break anytime in particular with OS upgrades, and that it's very difficult to impossible to resize the three volumes once you've installed the systems:
1. create three partitions, setting each to be the size for OS X copy 1, copy 2, and Windows respectively. The Windows partition needs to be set to MS-DOS format (actually FAT32) which later in the Windows installer you'll reformat as NTFS. Do not use Boot Camp Assistant to resize/partition the disk, it simply won't work for this use case.
2. install OS X copy 1
3. install OS X copy 3
4. Use gdisk (available at sourceforge) which is a command line only application, to create a new hybrid MBR adding only the last partition (Windows) to the hybrid MBR and setting it to be bootable. As a concequence you will not be able to see/share either OS X volume from within Windows. The Windows NTFS volume will be visible from within OS X.
5. Install Windows to the only partition its installer should see (confirm size), you'll need to format it NTFS first, and I suggest using the fast format option if available.

Last week I've install Mac OS X Mountain Lion and then after the installation finish my IMAC start up in verbose mode. How can I turn off this mode and start my IMAC normally. I've try to key in the code "sudo nvram boot-args=" in terminal also.

Thank you for all of your answer.

I've seen it mentioned on here that a PRAM reset may solve it:
Reset PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P and R.
You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

How should I proceed with installing Windows on my Macbook Pro through Boot Camp?

Hello,
I have never installed Windows on a Mac. I found the official guidebook from Apple online, but I want to make sure I am buying the right type of Windows before I get it. So should I get 32 Bit or 64 Bit Windows 7? What other major things should I keep in mind as I'm getting ready to install Windows? I have made a Time Machine backup for my computer on an external hard drive. I want to make sure that I am not leaving out anything major in terms of how I should prepare for the process. I have Mac OS X 10.9.2, if the version is significant. Let me know what other info you need about my computer if you need any.
Thank you.

How can i install Mac OS on toshiba intel celeron satellite L450-9P

can i install Mac OS on in Windows 7? for dual-boot purpose

But you can install Windows on a Mac via Bootcamp for dual boot.
For the purposes of Windows®, a Mac is just a generic piece of PC hardware, so installing on to it is permitted by Microsoft's EULA. On the other hand, Apple have explicitly stated in the EULA for OS X "Mountain Lion" that it should only be installed and run on Apple-branded hardware. Section 2, Paragraph B, Sub-section 1:
you are granted a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license […] to download, install, use and run for personal, non-commercial use, one (1) copy of the Apple Software directly on each Apple-branded computer…
(emphasis mine)
Section 2, Paragraph H:
The grants set forth in this License do not permit you to, and you agree not to, install, use or run the Apple Software on any non-Apple-branded computer, or to enable others to do so.
Also, discussion of how to run OS X on non-Apple branded hardware is against these forums' Use Agreement, Section 2 Paragraph 8, including Sub-section 1:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
This thread'll be reported by someone if any salient advice is offered that enables the OP in his endeavour.

I've installed windows 7 with the help of bootcamp on my macbook pro 2011.

You either download drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant and save to USB FAT disk, or you insert and use 10.6.x OS X DVD when in Windows and install and run the SETUP from there.

Step 4: Install the Boot Camp Drivers for Windows
After installing Windows, install Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows using your Mac OS X installation disc. The Mac OS X disc installs drivers to support Mac components, including AirPort,built-in iSight camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and thefunction keys on an Apple keyboard.
The Mac OS X disc also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows and theApple Boot Camp system tray item.
To install the Boot Camp drivers:
1 Eject the Windows installation disc.
2 Insert the Mac OS X disc. If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
3 Follow the onscreen instructions.
If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
Windows that appear only briefly during the installation don’t require your input.
If nothing appears to be happening, there may be a hidden window that you mustrespond to. Check the taskbar and look behind open windows.
Important: Do not click the Cancel button in any of the installer dialogs.
4 After your computer restarts, follow the instructions in the Found New Hardware Wizard to update your software drivers (Windows XP only).
5 Follow the instructions for any other wizards that appear.
6 Check for updated Boot Camp drivers by using Apple Software Update or going to www.apple.com/support/bootcamp.
If You Have Problems Installing the Device Drivers
If it appears that the Boot Camp drivers weren’t successfully installed, try repairing them.
To repair Boot Camp drivers:
1 Start up your computer in Windows.
2 Insert your Mac OS X installation disc.
3 If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
4 Click Repair and follow the onscreen instructions.
If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
If you need to reinstall specific drivers, you can install one driver at a time. For example,if your built-in iSight camera isn’t working, you can reinstall just the iSight driver.
Individual drivers are in the Drivers folder on the Mac OS X installation disc.

How do I Install Mac OS 10.4 "Tiger" via Firewire onto my computer

Ok so...I have a Titanium 15" Powerbook Laptop who's faulty CD Drive is being replaced with a Super Drive, as soo as I get the part in the mail.
In the meantime, I have connected my Powerbook to my roommate's G5 Desktop, successfully wiped my Powerbook hard drive clean (via firewire), in preparation to install Mac OS X 10.4.7 onto my Powerbook's hard drive (again via Firewire) and a startup instillation disk. This is where I get stuck. How is this done? Can anyone help?

To install via firewire start up the G5 from the install disk, then when at the installation screen boot the powerbook in target disk mode. Choose the powerbook from the list of disks to install 10.4 onto. Then just install the system. I am not sure if it will work from a G5, but it is worth a try.

How to install Mac OS 10.1 on iBook G4 mid-2005

Hi. I have just bought a vintage copy of Mac OS 10.1 for my iBook G4, not realizing that I can't strictly speaking install the OS on the machine. I read that some people have done it, but I am running 10.4.11, and I was wondering how I can dual boot and install 10.1 on a different partition, as the earliest OS was 10.3 Panther. Thanks!
-jonasfromwa

Rather unlikely Puma 10.1.5 would be able to support booting a later model mid-2005 iBook G4 that shipped with Tiger 10.4.x -- As Puma was intended to run on G3 PPCs, that often would have booted in OS 9 by default. And used rather different firmware in specific hardware for the old PPC G3 to use OSX on vintage chips. A real headache zone. I'd rather have seen some more parallel development of OS 9.2.2... Almost as good as Tiger 10.4.11 as a fine OS.
I vaguely remember Puma as a 'vast improvement over the OS X Public Beta of Sept 2000' which some foolishly installed on their workstations.
Use older Vintage hardware with partitioned hard disk drives, and watch for those which supported FireWire (iMac400DV was a good one) because you could use an external hard disk drive. Maybe even boot clones, etc from there. With all the limitations on the early hardware that made first practical use of OS X nearly impossible, a newer machine at the other end won't support an antique operating system readily if at all. Not without writing some code; and there probably are firmware considerations beyond the scope of reason. Better to get the correct hardware for the vintage experience.
Makes me tired just thinking about it!
Good luck & happy computing!
