How to install 10.4 with no DVD

I would like to install 10.4 on my dad's computer (my old one) but it's a G3 with a CD only. Is it possible to get 10.4 on a CD? How can I make it work?

To confirm - you need a Tiger retail install package. If 10.4 was pre-installed on your Mac when purchased, you cannot use the 10.4 install package that shipped with your new Mac to installed Tiger on your old G3.
As Tom provided, after purchasing a Tiger retail install package you can use Apple's Media Exchange program to exchange the DVD media for CD media for an additional $9.95.
If your old G3 supports being connected to another Mac via Firewire Target Disk mode, you can connect your old G3 to your newer Mac via Firewire Target Disk mode with the G3 being the Target computer and your newer Mac being the Host computer. You can use the DVD drive on your newer Mac to install the Tiger retail install package on your old G3 but your Dad will not be able to boot from the Tiger retail install package in order to run Disk First Aid repair so you may want to use the Media Exchange Program afterwards and regardless.

    Purchased my Mac today.  Didnt realise that I needed a dvd drive to install Office Mac 2011. I dont have an eternal dvd drive.  How do I install?

    Here you go:

    Basically, you go through the process to buy it as a download, but at a point you get the option to enter an existing product key - this permits you to download it without having to pay again.

  • How to install apex 4 with Oracle Fusion Middleware Web Tier Utilities

    Hi all,
    Does any one know how to install apex 4 with Oracle Fusion Middleware Web Tier Utilities ?
    I follow the instructions http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/install.40/e15513/toc.htm but there's no directory called ORACLE_HTTPSERVER_HOME\Apache and ORACLE_HTTPSERVER_HOME/ohs/modplsql/conf/dads.conf
    I don't know where's dads.conf file to make change
    Please hellp me on this case
    Thanks & regards

    A little bit odd is an understatement. The first time I found I had to download over 1Gb of stuff to run a simple web server I practically fell over! Hopefully, the Apex Listener team will update it to have backwards compatibility with mod_plsql and we can ignore trying to install Oracle Fusion Middleware Web Tier Utilities...
    However, until then the TNS Names error generally means that there isn't a TNS alias set up for the database you have referenced in the mod_plsql dad. If you open up the dads.conf file you should see something like
    PlsqlDatabaseConnectString localhost:1521:databasealias
    If you then open a command prompt and do TNSPING databasealias you should get a response like this
    Used TNSNAMES adapter to resolve the alias
    Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)
    (HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = ***)))
    OK (20 msec)
    If you don't it means you need to add it in.
    Hope this helps

  • How to install Virtual Keyboard with Different language ?

    HI,
    How to install Virtual Keyboard with Different language (Arabic) in MacBook Pro ( Mac OS X v10.5.8 Leopard).
    Thanks,

    How to install Virtual Keyboard with Different language (Arabic) in MacBook Pro ( Mac OS X v10.5.8 Leopard).
    What are you talking about exactly?
    OS X comes with a virtual keyboard already. It is called Keyboard Viewer. You activate it by going to system prefs/international/input menu and checking its box (plus the box for Show Input Menu in Finder). At the same time you can check the boxes for the Arabic keyboard layouts.
    You can then select the Arabic keyboard layouts and the Keyboard Viewer from the "flag" menu at the top-right of the Finder.
    Let us know if you have further questions. If you are talking about some specific non-Apple app, could you provide the url?

    More information would be helpful. If you are going to use a different Apple ID, you will need to buy Mountain Lion again. If you have a computer that has Mountain Lion installed, but Mountain Lion was purchased with a different Apple ID you must use the original Apple ID to download Mountain Lion.

  • How to install Leopard from an external DVD reader?

    Hi,
    I've bought Leopard today. unfortunately, it's not yet installed on my PowerBook. As my SuperDrive is dead, I use now an external DVD (Lacie Portable DVD-RW), but it doesn't work. I can read the Leopard install DVD, but when it reboot, it reboot on my current installation.
    I've tried the following during the boot sequence:
    - alt pressed, but I can only see my main HDD
    - c pressed, but I boot on my current installation
    Can you tell me if it is possible to install Leopard from an external DVD, and how can I do that ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Emmanuel Di Pretoro

    Can you tell me if the same problem occur with a FireWire external DVD ?

  • Leopard DVD is far away. How to install XP without the leopard dvd?

    ok. Leopard DVD is far away abroad with my sister.
    How to install Xp without the DVD? Is there anyway to get the drivers that are to be installed from the dvd after installing Xp?
    I really need to use Autocad and Rhino on my Macpro, so Parallels or VMware fusion is not an option. I am already using VMware fusion on my Macbook pro, but VMware will not use 4g RAM of my Macpro which means it would be hard to run Rhino.
    By the way, I am planning to buy Windows (I am sooooo ashamed to install that self-messed up OS on my Macpro. but so what,,, Autocad and Rhino do not run on Mac, and I need specifically the two programs). XP with sp2, sp3, or vista. which one is the best option?
    Since my Macpro has only One 2.8GHZ Quad-Core Intel Xeon, there is no need to buy XP professional? (XP home doesn't support multi-processors, and XP Pro does, I guess?)

    There are some parts that I don't understand.
    VMware Fusion uses only 512 RAM maximum, doesn't it? But you said it will use my entire 4GB RAM but only 2 cores. That's something different from what I've known.
    If fusion really uses 4gm RAM of my mac pro, I don't really have to use Boot Camp. But most people who need to run heavy programs in Windows choose Boot Camp because it's the only way to use a Mac just like a PC, meaning that the XP uses the entire RAM memory.
    XP will only use 2 GB of RAM, no matter how much the system has.
    I just found out that Rhino doesn't really work on Vista. So vista is ruled out.
    Only Vista 64-bit recognizes all system RAM.

  • How to install Oracle 10g with its grid functionality on Linux?

    Well, I thought changing the subject line might help to convey the meaning of what I want better. Here's my earlier post from a few hours earlier.
    Hi,
    I need carry out TPC-C benchmarking test for Oracle 10g (using one, two and four servers; basically using the grid in case of multiple servers). I have installed oracle 10g (with default options) on all the four servers, but beyond that I have no idea as to how can I invoke the grid option in order to carry out the tests-by my statement, I mean do I need to choose grid option while installing Oracle or is it the case that I specify the grid option in the code that I write for carrying out the tests. The OS is LInux (Scientific Linux).
    An unrelated problem-one of the servers is 64 bit while others are 32 bit, and proper versions of oracle have been installed. Neglecting the obvious fact that this will make comparisons difficult does anyone anticipate any other problem?
    Many Thanks!
    Steve

    Do you think that the installation of RAC can be done
    in a week? yes, as long as you know what you are doing and can catch the concept quickly and good at following instructions.
    Moreover, we do not have a cluster-all we
    have are four servers that are separate. Do you know
    if the name Real Application Clusters implies that
    the servers have to be in a cluster?
    The basic idea of RAC is all these hosts need to share same set of storage. The most popular such storage are SAN and NAS.

  • How to install Win7 if iMac's DVD drive is dead?

    I recently replaced the hard drive in my 2006 iMac and am starting fresh with Snow Leopard.  The problem is at some point the DVD drive stopped reading DVDs and will only read CDs...(???)  So when I go through the Boot Camp Assistant it can't read from the internal DVD drive.  I've tried the Windows disc in an external USB DVD drive and also in the DVD drive of my new MacBook Pro in Target Disk Mode. 
    The problem is Boot Camp Assistant never recognizes the disc.  I can attempt to boot from the Windows disc from inside the MBP by holding option at startup, but it goes nowhere.
    So how can I get Boot Camp working with a:
    burned DVD of a Windows 7 download (valid license)
    2006 iMac Core Duo with broken DVD drive
    external IDE DVD drive connected with USB to IDE bridge
    2011 MacBook Pro and a Firewire cable.
    Help?

    Why not get the drive repaired, things will be much easier.
