I am trying to upgrade my computer
I am trying to upgrade my computer to the Tiger. But the disk will not install. I have a new iPod and I can't use it on my computer untill I upgrade it.
JLee310751:
Welcome to Apple Discussiions.
You may have the wrong disk. To install Tiger your computer will need to meet the minimum system requirements for Tiger. You will need to purchase the Full Retail version of Tiger.
Tiger can be purchased from the Apple Store or, on CDs, from AllMac or FastMac. If you know what you are looking for you can also get Tiger on eBay. Read documentation and ask questions to be sure you are getting the Full Retail Version. Here are a few currently listed on eBay.
Please note that Computer specific or upgrade versions should be avoided since they are optimized for the computer to which they are specific and will therefore, very likely, cause problems during or after installation. On the legal side, it may be a violation of the Software License Agreement which statesThis License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on a single computer at a time. This License does not allow the Apple Software to exist on more than one computer at a time...
Please do post back with further questions or comments.
Good luck.

How can I upgrade my computer to Mountain lion if it's only at OS X 10.5.8?
I'm trying to upgrade my computer from leopard to Mountain Lion and I'm having trouble figuring out how to download. My systems are to out of date in oreder to download it directly. Has anyone had this same problem in the past? if so, how did you solve it? If I go to the apple store and buy the disc will it be easier to install? or is there a way I can work around the problems from home?

I have Adobe CS. Upgraded my computer to Windows 7. Installed CS but I can't activate Photoshop due to the online/phone activation being pulled down. Now the 30 days has expired. Tried to follow directions to install CS2 but no luck. I would really like to speak with someone at Adobe to get it working again. THanks
If you would like to speak with someone at Adobe you will need to cvontact them directly by chat or phone.

Just tried to upgrade to SnowLeopard with newly purchased software disc. iLife failed to download and when I tried to restart the computer, it will not do so--just get a grey screen with the lines going around and around. Any ideas about how to get it to start?
Mac Pro - Mid 2010
Processor 2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74)
This is a brand new machine that I just purchased from Apple. It was delivered yesterday
The old computer is an old PowerMac G5, but my OS X install disc is a retail version of 10.5.
I also tried the OS X 10.5 install disc that came with my MacBook Pro (2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Dual).
Same issue - nothing but a grey screen when the system tries to boot from the DVD -
I tried to sync Firefox mobile to my PC. Then I tried to upgrade to Firefox 4.0, which was a mistake, because I already had 4.0. I checked yes to install it again. Then I tried to uninstall and reinstall 4.0. That is when I started getting the error message.
i have been trying to figure out how to fix this same issue as well for the past 2 hours or so. it is very upsetting that you can't even uninstall it try to redo it all or just use the old version. everything seemed to be ok untill i got to the set up part of the process that is when i kept getting the same message: ''your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of firefox. do you want to reboot now" and to no avail. please help. i really enjoyed my firefox/mozilla. now i can't even use it i have to go back to internet explorer for now...........

Hello, I am trying to upgrade my macbook pro to yosemite, but I get the "disk cannot be used to startup your computer" error.
Resizing the partition does not work for me and I get the error "MediaKit reports no such partition" probably because I installed linux in dual boot and the disk manager is lost.
Anyway to tell the yosemite installer that it should not pay attention whether the disk is bootable or not ?
If I am doomed, any way to delete the installer and downloaded OS from my hard drive ?
Thanks for your helpAs usual, the Linux installer wrecked the partition table. You would have to boot from your OS X installation disc and repartition. Doing so will of course remove all data from the drive, so you must back up first if you haven't already done so.

Please Help! I tried to upgrade Flash Player, but have older computer
Please Help! -- I tried to upgrade FLASH PLAYER, but I have an older MAC laptop OS X 10.4 = Version 4.1.3 (4533.19.4).
I need to UPGRADE Flash Player; however it's not available -- Recently, I cannot watch some videos or access particular websites.
I'm a teacher, and CAN'T AFFORD to buy a new computer at this time.
> Can Adobe Corp. please help by offering an expanded range of UPGRADE support ??Unfortunately, if you're running OS 10.4, odds are that your Mac is a PowerPC model (-About This Mac will let you know for certain), and the newest version that will run on your system is Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and 9.0.289.0 (126 MB)
That's a direct link to the download, you can right click (or control+click) and save it to your downloads folder. Expand it with Stuffit Expander and run the 10.102.64 installer.
That's the best that can be hoped for because if your Mac is PowerPC, and I suspect it is, even Apple no longer supports it since September of 2009. The next OS X version (10.5) won't run the latest Player either. You'd need an Intel Mac with 10.6.3 or newer to use Flash Player 11.8.800.94.
PowerMax does have some really good deals on "pre owned" Macs. I've bought three from them myself over the years. -
Tried to upgrade iTunes, now it's missing from my computer
I tried to upgrade iTunes, but it basically froze. I cancelled the installation with the intention of just trying over. Now, the icon is missing from my desktop. When I go to the program in my computer, it won't start. What do I do to get it up and running again?
How are you getting this itunes update? Through the Apple Software Update program? Or the apple itunes download page?
My advice is to go to the apple itunes download page, choose SAVE to save the entire file to your PC's hard drive, and click the iTunesSetup.exe file after it has entirely downloaded. You don't say your version of WIndows, but it's also a good idea to right-click and choose "Run as Adminstrator" with that setup file.
If you still have trouble with QuickTime, there is also an apple download page for a QuickTime standalone installer.
I always back up my itunes Library.itl database file before upgrading itunes, by the way. I put a copy of it on my little USB stick or one of my exHDs.

Hi, I can not open iTunes unless my computer is connected to my work network. I have tried to uninstall and install and nothing. I have tried to upgrade quick time, no luck.
HI, there is no error message when I try to open iTunes, it just hangs.
In regards to the location of the media folder it was located on the network however I changed it to a local directory. Should I try unistall and install with the correct media library? -
We tried to upgrade to Firefox 4.0.1, but now all that pops up is a screen that says "your computer needs to reboot to complete an upgrade" but even after reboot, it still pops up everytime I try to open Firefox. It will not let me uninstall either. Firefox will not open at all.
I got the same problem. I tried everyting.

Trying to upgrade to OS X Mavericks. Got message "this computer cannot be upgraded". Checked all tech specs, they match requirements. Is there a way to determine what prevents instalation?
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Xserve (Early 2009) model number 3,1 or higher -
iMac running Mountain Lion.... Yesterday, I tried to upgrade to Yosemite. System seemed to be upgrading. However, the OSX installation window is now frozen on the computer with the blue bar showing installation complete. I do not have access to even the finder. Force quitting with keys is not working. The only way I can shut the computer down is to hold down the on/off button. Restarting brings up the same frozen OSX installation window. What to do?
CherieThere are three ways:
A. Reinstalling Yosemite, Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the 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.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
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 click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
B. Install or Reinstall from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard 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.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Yosemite: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.
C. Internet Recovery
Install OS X Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Yosemite: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer. -
Hi,
Basically my computer is running on Snow Leopard. My father bought the Lion upgrade to install on his computer, however, it ended up being that his newly purchased lap top already came running with Lion -- thus, he never ended up using the Lion upgrade he purchased. Now, I would like to use the Lion upgrade he purchased but did not use to upgrade my computer to Snow Leopard. The information he gave me for this was the Web Order Number, Part Number, and Content Code for the Lion upgrade. How do I redeem/use his upgrade to update my computer to Lion without having to purchase another copy of the Lion software from the App store? Is that possible?
Thank you so much!!!Unless he controls your machine (same household), you can't. At $30 USD, pop for your own copy.
