I bought the wrong upgrade to Tiger disk

Recently I bought an iMac Mac OS Install 2 Disk set (gray color) with the following detail: Mac OS version 10.4.7, ANT Version 3A112, Disc Version, 1.0, #2Z691-5883-A. My iMac accepted the disk but when I tried to install the Tiger package it displayed a panic notice saying it was looking for a PowerPC disc 8.1 and would go no further. Obviously I made a boo boo here. What disk should I buy to upgrade to Tiger from 10.3.9, please? What kind of Mac would run the disk I wrongly bought?
iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

Jennell answered your question correctly.
The gray disks you have are OEM disks for another model. You need the full retail install disk.. You don't need to buy it from Apple but it does need to be either boxed as shown or have the Tiger "X" on the disk. As shown here.
OS X 10.5 Leopard is about to be released, so you may want to wait.

  • I bought the wrong book in ibooks. How can i get  a refund?

    I bought the wrong book in ibooks. How can i get  a refund?

    A refund may not be possible since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
    It's possible they'll make an exception for you.
    Good luck.
    Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Communities page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums and in the Apple Knowledge Base, before you post a question.

  • I bought the wrong app. can i un-download it?

  • Hi! how can I delete a book from the iCloud? I bought the wrong book ... is for adults and I have kids...so

    Hi! how can I delete a book from the iCloud? I bought the wrong book ... is for adults and I have kids...so

    The most comprehensive delete method I know about is to delete the book from iTunes on the computer you sync your iPad with.  You'll be asked if you're sure, and it will be deleted from your iPad and any other i-Device you sync to.
    I think that's the best you can do.

  • My friend bought the Lion upgrade for her MacBook.  She would also like to upgrade her desktop Mac which is current running Leopard.  Does she have to buy SnowLeopard for her Mac first?  Both computers use the same apple ID and password.

    My friend bought the Lion upgrade for her MacBook.  She would also like to upgrade her desktop Mac to Lion which is currently running Leopard.  Does she have to first buy a SnowLeopard upgrade for her desktop?  And will the upgrade from SnowLeopard to Lion then be free?  Both computers use the same apple ID.

    She would also like to upgrade her desktop Mac to Lion which is currently running Leopard.
    She needs to purchase Snow Leopard but she can re download Lion on the desktop for free after Snow Leopard is installed.
    And definitely use the same Apple ID to download Lion on the desktop.

  • I bought the wrong Quicktime Key!!

    I have a Mac and I bought Quicktime for it last year so I wanted to buy Quicktime for my PC, but when I logged in to .Mac I guess it automatically thought that since I had a Mac it gave me the wrong key....(Even though I bought it while using my PC)
    SO I had to go back in and buy the right one!! I NEED A REFUND FOR THE MAC KEY BECAUSE I ALREADY BOUGHT ONE LAST YEAR!! I'm SO frustrated that there isn't a 24 hour number to call during the week for help with this!!!

    See if this page will help you contact Apple:

    You didn't read the page for buying Qt pro...
    It either says in big letters... Quicktime Pro for Windows or Mac.
    For Mac, http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wo/StoreReentry. wo?productLearnMore=D3380Z/A
    Fir Windows, http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=A32 6CC89&nplm=D3381Z/A
    Both pages have a link to buying either OS Pro key.
    So you rant about it being Apple's fault is unfounded...Sorry.
