How do I upgrade to 10.4 and... is wireless internet possible with eMac?

Hi all,
thanks for answering my last question about browsers: now using Camino and is way better than anything else...
So, so more puzzles:
1) I have 10.3.9 and need to upgrade to 10.4. A friend just told me I can do it for free via updates but I don't believe him as I can't find it. What's the solution?
2) Is it possible to get wirless net with eMacs? If so, what setting do you use?
Thanks all!

Tiger install DVDs are in short supply. Tiger is no longer available at the Apple Store *but may be available for $129 by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753)*. For other sources, do a Google search for MA453Z/A (10.4.6), MA190Z/A (10.4.3) and M9639Z/A (10.4) . Also look on eBay. Be sure & buy a retail version (black with silver X) and not a model specific version (gray) (See Can I use another Mac's system restore disc on my Mac? ). Expect to pay (possibly a lot) more than the Apple list price of $129.
Also check these web stores: http://www.lacomputercompany.com/cgi-bin/rpcart/index.cgi?command=dispitem&type= sku&sku=19521 http://www.allmac.com/shop/index.php?cPath=5_10003
Possible Alternative if you are currently using Panther 10.3 – Do a Google search for Tiger 10.4 Upgrade DVD . It will upgrade your 10.3 to 10.4, but it doesn’t contain the full retail Tiger installer. Should be cheaper than the retail Tiger install DVD.
After you install the base 10.4.x, update to the final Tiger version 10.4.11. Here's the link for the 10.4.11 combo update http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Look at this link Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger Installing Software Support Page
http://www.apple.com/support/tiger/install/
You can also download the Tiger Installation and Setup Guide
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/TigerInstall_SetupGuide.pdf
When you upgrade the OS, do it via Archive & Install. See About the Archive and Install feature http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710
Be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings. Also, repair permissions before and after the install.
 Cheers, Tom

    2nd generation ipod touch is pretty much no good anymore?  It is not able to upgrade to iOS5.1 and so will not work with many Apps in the iTunes store?  Is there a way to find out if the App will work before you download?

    Look to the app developer to provide that information when browsing the iTunes Store.
    The iPod Touch still works, so what's your problem with it? It still works with older apps, it still does what it's intended to do.
    If you aren't happy then sell it and buy a new one.

  • How to export iPhoto Album in iMAC and have similar folder structure(with Timestamps) which can be viewed in finder

    How to export iPhoto Album in iMAC and have similar folder structure(with Timestamps) which can be viewed in finder
    In simple terms, I wanted to view the photos in Windows system, similar strcture of iPhotos

    If you want to copy all of your photos to a Windows machine and have them in folders representing the iPhoto Events the were in quickly and easily just do the following:
    1  - open the library with the Finder as shown in this screenshot:
    2 - COPY the Originals/Masters folder to the Desktop.
    3 - copy the Originals/Masters folder to the Windows machine.
    This will give you all of your original image file in their Event folder on the Windows machine.
    NOTE:  With iPhoto 8 or newer the Event folders in the Masters folder will be titled by date (EXIF) if imported from a camera.  If imported from a folder the event folder will have the same title as the source folder.  If imported singularly or in a group without a folder the title will be a date, either the EXIF date or import date.
    With iPhoto 7 (08) and earlier the Event folders in the Originals folder will have the same title as the Event has in the library.
    This method would be quicker but not provide the additional metadata you might have added in iPhoto like keywords, titles, descriptions that exporting out of iPhoto with Format=JPEG and the checkboxes selected to include keywords, titles, places, etc, checked.

    How can i use Nikon D 7100 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-LF1 with Photoshop CS 5 Camera Raw?

    The one needs 7.4 (or better), the other 8.1, so Photoshop CS5 with ACR6 is not up to the task.
    The free DNG Converter could be used to convert the RAW images to DNG which your version of ACR should be able to process.

  • How to get string (specified by line and column) from txt file with labview

    Hi everyone
    How to get string (specified by line and column) from txt file with labview
    thx 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    As far as I know, a text file has no columns.  Please be more specific.  Do you mean something like the 5th word on line 4, where words are separated by a space, and lines are separated by a newline character?  You could the Read from Spreadsheet String function and set the delimiter to a space.  This will produce a 2D array of strings.  Then use index array and give the line number and column number.

    I have an ipod and an iphone 3GS and a wireless LAN device, with my ipod I have a connection, but not with my iphone ... why is that?

    - An iPod can only sync with one iTunes library. Yu can however manage music and videos among different computers by:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    - To change syncing computer, move all the media to compute r#2
    - Connect the iPod to #2 and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note tha the iPod backup the iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.

  • FAQ Broken: How do I upgrade the firmware on a WRT54G Wireless-G Broadband Router?

    I tried to view the above question in the FAQ, but it goes to the answer for a different question.
    I then tried "How do I upgrade the firmware on my router?" a little further down,
    but it acts like I'm not authenticated, and won't accept my Linksys Forums e-mail address
    and password. When I try the password recovery, it says my e-mail address is invalid.
    Can someone please point me to instructions for upgrading the firmware on my WRT54G?
    Specifically, someone told me that the router needs to be listening on the default 192.168.1.1
    IP address, but mine is listening on 10.1.1.2. Do I need to change this just to flash new
    firmware, because that will be a little painful.
    Thanks,

    Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
    In the address bar type - "Default Gateway of Your Router"...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
    Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful"  After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
    Now reset your router :
    Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
    **To Check the Default Gateway of the router...Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...
    **To all the above setting using the wired computer.

  • Lenovo G700 and no wireless internet

    Hello
    I have a brand new Lenovo G700 and a serious problem with the wireless internet.
    I installed windows 7 ultimate, 64 bit. After that I installed all the drivers from the Lenovo Driver disk and all the other features are working properly. Sadly in Device Manager the Wireless Network Adapter is not recognized. I tried to let is search for drivers from my computer and after that from the internet (the cable internet adapter works perfectly fine) but it couldn't find anything. I downloaded all the latest drivers for the wireless adapter from the Lenovo website but none of them seemed to work for me. The Qualcomm driver doesn't want to install. When I run the setup it starts preparing installation shield or something like that and after it boots up the whole installation window disappears and nothing happens. I tried to run it in safe mode but the same thing happened in there as well. I installed the Broadcom driver but once again nothing happened, the wireless adapter kept repeating that there are no drivers for it and it couldn't find any no matter how many times I tried.
    I went to the bios and Wireless was Enabled there. I tried to disabled it and once again enabled it after that but once again no luck. I left it enabled but it doesn't really help.
    I believe that the problem is somewhere in the driver and I just can't figure out what more should I do.
    The one driver that is named Cybertan and Liteon in reality is once again Broadcom and Qualcomm. Just thought to let you know.
    Please can you give me some sort of an advice what to do because I am out of ideas. The problem is 99%  driver related (at least I think so). Because as I said earlier in device manager the wireless adapter is market as one without drivers. I don't know, please help.
    Solved!

    I have had the same issue for awhile now. Had to reformat my computer 4 times back to WIN 8 because after the WIN 8.1 update which you don't have a choice but to do it the wireless stops working. This is the worst laptop I have ever bought nothing but issues. Now I am connected to a wire because is the only way to get on the internet. I have tried all the drivers for the fix but nothing. I will not recommend this Lenovo Laptop to anyone nothing but issues from the day I bought it

  • Cannot stream to iTunes and join wireless internet at the same time

    I have a home network with an Airport Extreme base station, and Airport Express connected to my home stereo and to my existing wireless network in client mode. I receive internet via a wireless signal throughout my apartment building. My laptop receives the signal via the built-in airport express card. Neither the Airport Extreme or Air Express are connected directly to the internet, since I only have a wireless signal in the building (no ethernet).
    With Airport turned on the wireless internet signal appears as a list of networks alongside my own network.
    I can't seem to get the settings right such that I can join my Home network and be connected to the internet at the same time, since I have to join either one or the other from the drop down list. Therefore, I can't sream music wirelessly from my laptop to my airport express and be connected to the internet at the same time.
    Is there any way around this?

    Leosia, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Your Mac only has a single radio receiver therefore it can only join one wireless network at a time.

  • HT3624 I am in a campground and my wireless internet won't connect on my MacBook Pro. Help

    I am in a campground and I can't get the wireless internet to work it worked before now it doesn't. I think
    I did something and messed it up. I was in the network area of system profiler and it was on
    air port and I hit the - at the bottom and it went away when I put it back it hasn't worked
    since. Help!

    I was in a hotel a few month a ago.  The hotel also had a portal page you have to sign in.  Of course the ATV didn't a web browser and could not sign in to the portal and connect to the Internet, so your iTunes didn't work.  (But your ATV should be connected to the router at that point already, just the portal won't open the port to pass through your ATV's traffic)
    So what I did was to use AirVideo app on my iPad and AirVideo server on my Mac. Selected the movie on  my iPad using the AirVideo app and then selected my AirPlay device on my iPad to AppleTV.  Because this setup didn't require iTunes, so there was no need for a live Internet connection, and just a connection to the hotel router was enough.  It was very easy.
    (Of course, you can subsititude the iPad with an iPhone here too)

  • How do i upgrade my hard drive and get it to boot in Mountain Lion?

    I have a Late 2009 Macbook 6,1 and want to install a new, larger capacity hard drive. Currently I am running Mountain Lion and don't have any install disks, so the question is, what is the process to change out the drive and get the Mac to boot after the new drive is installed. Since it is a new drive it won't have a recovery partition or any operating system files. My plan is to migrate my data using my Time Machine backup, but I worry that when I try to boot after the new drive is installed, all I will be greeted with will be a flashing question mark. I'm really having a hard time finding a step-by-step set of instructions for someone attempting what I'm trying to do. I do have an external enclosure I could put the new drive into before I put it into the Mac. Would I try using something like Migration Assistant to transfer all of the files to the new drive and then just swap out drives afterward? Would the OS migrate as well, or would I still not have a bootable drive? Or is there some kind of minimal boot disk I could burn onto a CD or flash drive and then once the machine boots go with a restore from Time Machine Backup? I'm open to any ideas anyone may have on the least painful way to go about this process. Maybe use some (hopefully free) software of some sort to clone the current drive onto the new drive while it's still in the external enclosure? Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
    Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive.  Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure.  You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
    Step Three: Boot from the external drive.  Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears.  Select the icon for the external drive then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
      1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
      2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the
          mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of
          the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive
          is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  Otherwise, click on the
          Partition tab in the DU main window.
      3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from
          the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended
          (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to
          GUID  then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and
          wait until the process has completed.
      4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the
          drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main
          window.
      5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the
          Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to
          return to the Erase window.
      6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several
          hours depending upon the drive size.
    Step Five: Clone the old drive to the new drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
             button.
         2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
         3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
         4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
             to the Destination entry field.
         5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
             the Source entry field.
         6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    Step Six: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume.  Click on the Restart button.  You should boot from the new drive.  Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer.

  • How do I upgrade to 7.2 and does this affect my version of 8?

    Hello Logic Peoples
    I currently have a version of logic 7.1 on my system. I also have Logic 8. Which is nice but somewhat annoying! (More of that another time). My question is I need to upgrade my version of 7.1 to 7.2 and so on but there isn't a download for this on the site. I remember that you needed to buy it in the past but I've bought 8 now so surely they can't still be charging for 7.2. Where/how do I get it?
    Cheers
    Papajay

    Check Ebay since this was a sold upgrade which came on a DVD and Apple does not sell it anymore. Sorry!
    P.S. Email Apple like the rest of the people with this problem. They should post it on the downloads area.
