I'm selling my iBook G4 How do I install Leopard without registering it??

I am selling my iBook G4 to my aunt and wanted to know if I install 10.5 on the machine is it possible after installation to shut down the computer without going through the setup process? Thank you in advance

+"Using the power button....may damage the installation."+
Ooooo...I didn't know that (obviously). I have done this a number of times with no problems but I would be interested in some info on how it can damage the install.

  • How do I install Leopard on the partition I've created on my MacBook Pro running Lion?

    I've partitioned my hard drive (running Lion) so that I can run Leopard. How do I install Leopard on the partition? I've put in the Leopard CD and restarted, but all I get is a black screen with a bunch of gibberish.

    There's no way the MacBookPro will boot to Leopard.
    Snow Leopard may be possible, but you'd need the original discs from Apple customer Service - the retail disc isn't a high enough version.
    To check viability of Snow Leopard, have a look at a.brody's article;
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2455
    If it looks like SL is feasible ring the Apple Customer Services with the model and serial no. and see if the original SL discs are available.

    How do I install apps without the  app store

    This is an issue not to be taken lightly. I just upgraded to Mavericks. My two favorite amateur radio apps will not launch because they did not come from the App Store. There must be a way to make them work. Come on, let's have it. Ohh, the apps: DVTool for DStar Radio operation, and echomac for amateur radio repeater connection from a Mac. These are essential amateur radio applications used in emergency radio communications ... ARES.

  • How do I install Tiger without DVD drive?

    How do I install Tiger without DVD drive on a Powerbook?
    My Powerbook had some problems recently, the HDD and the Superdrive where gone. I replaced the HD but can not get Tiger installed here because the DVD drive isn't working. I boot right now from a FW HD. Any Ideas how to install the OS on the internal drive?

    I just tried it between a Power Mac G5 and a PowerBook G3 (Pismo) and it worked. The G5 was Mac in Firewire Target Disk Mode. I started the G5 with the T with no DVD in the drive. I started up the G3, and the G5's hard drive appeared on the G3's desktop. I pushed the eject key (on the G5 keyboard) and the SuperDrive opened. I put in a DVD (the Tiger installation disk) and closed the SuperDrive. The DVD appeared on the G3's desktop. I restarted the G3 with the Option key held down, and the DVD in the G5 appeared as a valid startup choice."

  • How do i install opensolaris without using the virtual box??

    hi.
    i am new to solaris
    i am currently using a windows XP OS
    i got down the opensolaris cd from SUN
    how do i install opensolaris without using a virtual box ?

    The OpenSolaris CD is a "Live CD". You can boot off of the CD, and either run the OpenSolaris operating system directly, or you can select the "Install" icon on the LiveCD desktop. You can find full instructions here: http://dlc.sun.com/osol/docs/content/IPS/getst1.html
    Do you want to keep your Windows OS on the disk? If so, then you want to follow the instructions for partitioning your disk (unless you already have a spare partition).

  • After I downloaded the new version of iTunes 11.0.1 and i try to open it it says: ''There is no application set to open the document ''iTunes 11.0.1.dmg.part''. How can i install this without paying for an app to do it?

    After I downloaded the new version of iTunes 11.0.1 and i try to open it it says: ''There is no application set to open the document ''iTunes 11.0.1.dmg.part''. How can i install this without paying for an app to do it? What apps can i download to do this type of work.

    .dmg.part is not a complete file..  It usually indicates that the entire file has not been downloaded yet.  Are you sure you downloaded the entire file?   (i recommend updating itunes through  > Software Update
    Alternatively, you can download it from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1614

  • I downloaded Elements 11 to my laptop about 3 years ago and now purchased a new computer and need to install it.  How do I install Elements without purchasing it again?

    I downloaded Elements 11 to my laptop about 3 years ago and now purchased a new computer and need to install it.  How do I install Elements without purchasing it again?

    I have Elements pulled up on my old computer, can I find it in the program?
    No but if your old computer runs Windows then you can use the free Belarc Advisor software to extract the serial number from inside the computer.
    Belarc Advisor - Free Personal PC Audit, for software, hardware and security configuration information on your computer.…
    Tip for future reference: when buying software, always keep your serial numbers safe and handy. Don't rely on websites, the Cloud or anyone else to retrieve them for you when you need them most. They are the single most important thing you get when you buy software and they are unique to you personally.
    You can download software installers from the web any time but, without your unique serial number, you'll be stuck with using the software in trial mode.

  • How do I install SN without creating a user?

    I am selling one of my Mac Pro's.
    I'll reformat the disk and install a fresh system, but how do I do that without creating a user account?
    Right after installing OS X the computer has to be rebooted, and that's when one creates a user account.
    Should I just turn the machine off after the install instead of rebooting?
    In fact, I'd like the buyer to enjoy the multi-language 'Welcome' intro, just like when one buys a new Mac and turns it on for the first time.
    Thanks for any tips on that.

    YaY! Cool! You guys rock!
    I'll give it a try next week. I'm currently archiving/cleaning everything.
    Thank you

  • How do I install Mavericks without invoking the OSX Server Plugin?

    How do I perfrom a clean install of Mavericks from the Recovery Partition without it automatically installing, and then invoking or executing the OSX Server Plugin that ultimately results in rendering open directory operable as well as the server.  I have ignored this continously, but the other day I went into the terminal and typed ARP -s that lists the shortname for the host of my MacBook Pro and it gave a totally different name than what I had given it in the wi-fi network interface under the WINS tab. More importantly, I do not want to install open directory nor the osx server plugin as it opens up more complexity than I want to deal with.  Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.  BTW, below are the steps I performed for installing Mavericks.
    1. Powered on the MacBook Pro and then hit the Option key.
    2. This took me into the Recovery Partition, whereby I went into the Disk Util and erased or formatted the hard-drive.
    3. I then clicked out of the Disk Utility and went into the Recovery Mode by clicking on reinstall the current OS.
    4. I went through all the prompts and the system downloaded a current version of Mavericks.
    5. After completion, I turned on my Macbook Pro and went through the prompts to install Mavericks.
    6. This is all I did, and I didn't download the OSX plugin nor invoke it in the new version of the Operating System. 
    I just assumed that it was a standalone version until I found the server for osx running with open directory invoked, the server invoked, along
    with other components relative to a new standalone version.
    Again, my question is simple: How can I reinstall Mavericks without it downloading and automatically
    iinvoking the components as described above? 

    Hi. Because both Mavericks and Windows 8 are still new, they may not be free of error. Apple needs more time to perform more tests to ensure that these two different OS's will work properly without getting in conflicts. If it's posdible, I highly recommand you to downgrade back to Lion or Mountain Lion and install Windows 7 (if you have a copy of it). In my experience, all advises from Genius Bar members and computer articles confirm that  Windows 7 will work on Macs with Lion OS. It should also work on Mountain Lion. Besides Boot Camp, you could try to virtualize Windows OS and its applications by using VirtualBox, CrossOver and other VMs. I already have an Oracle VirtualBox but I would like to try Boot Camp since it allows me to enjoy almost all Windows features that may be limited in VMs.

  • How do I install Leopard on an external?

    I have a MacBook that for some reason won't take an OS. My thought is to install the OS from my MacPro on a 2.5" in an enclosure and put it in the MacBook.
    How would I go about installing Leopard on my hard drive this way?
    -Kyle

    Installing onto an external HD should be a routine matter. Ensure that the ext HD is partitioned w/a single partition, has the GUID partitioning scheme, and is formatted Mac OS X. Personally, I prefer FireWire to USB. FW is significantly faster than USB. BTW, ensure that the MacPro has the latest OS update on it. That should allow it to boot the MacBook, but I don't have either to do any testing. BTW, if you're getting those machines sans their HDs because of problems, my experience indicates that most issues are SW related and not HW related.

  • How can I install CS6 without a disk drive?

    Hi there!
    I recently purchased the Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium addition.
    The sales person at the store assured me that despite not having a CD drive in my Macbook Pro there would be a way to install/download the suite with the product information in the box.
    So far, all I have been able to acheive is recovering my serial code. I am compeltely at a loss of how to even begin to start the install process without the a disc drive.
    Is this possible or did the sales person send me down the wrong road?
    Thanks in advanced!

  • How do I install Acrobat without a working dvd drive?

    How do I install Adobe Acrobat X without using my CD/DVD drive on my computer? I need the software but have a dead drive.

    Well, those things cost 20 bucks at your nearest electronics store... Other than that you can simply download the trial and activate it with the serial or copy the installers to a USB stick on anotehr machine and run them.
