Install disc does not appear

I am trying to install Tiger on a third computer I just got. When I insert the disc in the G$'s drive nothing appears on the screen. After a period of time the disc ejects on its own. I've tried to boot using the disc (Command C) but no luck.
I would greatly appreciate any ideas or comments.
Thanks

William:
As Mick asked, are you sure your optical drive is operating properly.
Next,be sure that you are using a Full Retail Version of Tiger and not computer specific disks or update version, unless they are specific to your computer, as these can be troublesome, and are a violation of the single user license agreement.
Be sure that your computer meets the minimum System Requirements for Tiger.
Good luck.

    Did you try to use the search function "spotlight" to find the app on your device? Go to your main screen and swipe once more to the right to open spotlight and search for it.

  • Installation disc does not appear

    Computor opens up to sign in page, but does not accept the password. After several tries the computer suggests I change the password. My Master password is accepted, but after typing and verifying the new password the new password is evidently rejected because the entry space goes blank. I'm back were I started with the computer asking for the "old" password which is rejected after I enter the "old" password. Tried to use Installation Disc, but it does not show. Sometimes when I enter the "old" password a screen appears with a large Padlock and a entry space. I assume my password is desired, but entering new or old password doesn't allow me to enter.
    I've tried SMC reset as well as PRAM reset and single user reset. I've unplugged computer overnight, detached all peripherals, etc. Can't resolve. Any solutions?

    Hi Don,
    If you forget your administrator password
    If you don’t remember your administrator password, you can reset it using the Mac OS X Install disc.
    IMPORTANT: Because a user with the Mac OS X Install disc can gain unrestricted access to your computer, you should keep the disc in a safe place.
    To reset the administrator password using the Mac OS X Install disc:
    Insert the Mac OS X Install disc and restart the computer.
    When you hear the startup tone, press and hold down the C key until you see the spinning gear.
    When the Language Chooser appears, select your language and click Continue.
    In the Installer, choose Utilities > Reset Password.
    Follow the onscreen instructions to change the password.
    Be sure to change your login keychain password in Keychain Access to match your new account password so your keychain is unlocked when you log in.

  • I turned auto login off and set a password. It does not work. I tried using the install disc and C key a few times but no success. Now the install disc does not even activate with the C key. Help

    I turned ato login off. Set a password. On login it failed. Perhaps I misstyped when setting up. I used the instaldisc to reset the password but after a few attempts It failed. Was it a mistake to select the hard drive after resetting the password.  I would like to try the alternative but now the C-key does not even let the install disc open, it goes directly to  the name and password screen. I need Help

    Keunepete,
    When I ordered my books for the ICND1 and ICND2, they came with a CD in the back pocket (sleeve) of the book. Along with the CD was a thick piece of paper that had the activation code on it. It was a white, square piece of paper with big black print on it. Did you buy your book used? Was the CD sealed in the back pocket?

  • CD or DVD Disc does not appear on desk top ...

    When I insert a blank CD it comes up on the desktop. When I
    insert any CD or DVD that contains data the CD or DVD does not
    come up on the desktop. I have looked at "troubleshooting a cd-rom " from Apple. I've tried a number different brands of CDs and DVDs so it isn't the disc. I've been told that I need to clean the lens on my CD player and have bought a CD cleaner made by Memorex however I can't use it because it doesn't come up
    on my desktop because it isn't blank....a conundrum. Anyone out there
    who could shed some light on this problem? Thank you!

    OK WHERE IS APPLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM? I have started idvd, control-option-p-r and still nothing. It can't be my drive because it will play data, and blank dvd's. It is the software updates I have 10.4.5 with a g5 sony super drive but I do not play movies often so I do not know which upgrade it is. Does apple look at these posts? You know there are hundreds of cases out there by the number of posts here and other threads in tiger. search "My DVD disc doesn't appear on my desktop " and see all of the threads. I bought my 5th mac because of ease of use but why there isn't a patch for this is pxxxing me off

  • Forgot name/password and install disc does not allow me to reset it

    I forgot the Name and Password I set up to log into my imac. It is an older imac, from 2006 and I can't remember which version operating system. I have tried to use the install disc to reset the password, but it does not allow me to do so. Is there a way to reset the name and password without the install disc? For as long as I can remember whenever I would turn on my mac there would be an image that I had chosen and then a field to enter password. Just recently I turned on my mac and the image or avatar was no longer coming up and it asked for Name and Password. I have tried every combination I can think of and nothing works. I have tried to reset using my install disc, but it says that I do not have a password to reset. 

    Before giving up try the following technique to determine the user account names, and reset their passwords if necessary.
    1. Shut down your Mac and turn it back on while holding down the ⌘ and S keys at the same time until your see a black screen with white text. This is known as Single User mode.
    2. You can skip the following step, but it is recommended that you do not because it will check your boot volume for errors and correct what it can:
    At the :/ root# prompt, type fsck -fy and press Return or Enter. It will take a few moments to complete. If you are concerned that nothing is happening just press the Return key until you see the :/ root# prompt again. Once the file system check is complete and the prompt returns, type mount -uw / and press Return / Enter.
    3. Type the following
    launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.opendirectoryd.plist
    and press Enter. If you get an error message you may ignore it.
    4. Type ls /Users and press Enter. All of the usernames on the computer will be listed, which is helpful if you don’t know or remember what these are. You can skip the next step if you found the user name you recall and know its password.
    5. Type dscl . passwd /Users/username password while replacing username with one of the users displayed in the previous step and replacing Password with the new password of your choice. Press Enter. You may get an error message about a file or directory not being found. You may ignore this.
    6. Type reboot and press Enter.

  • After I download firefox the install window does not appear

    I am trying to upgrade Firefox on my laptop. After I choose to download the most recent edition, I'm waiting for the next step - RUN - to appear but it does not do so. I've tried this four times without success. Please advise. Thank you.

    Firefox does not have a run for .exe which is a good thing for security and common sense reasons.
    After you download Firefox you go to where you save the file and run it.

  • Help! OS X Install disc does not see my HD.

    After receiving the error discussed here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2229361#2229361
    I attempted to boot from my 10.4 install disc and re-install OS X. I was going to do an erase and install as my important files are already backed up. However, when I got to the Select a Destination stage of the install process, my HD is not displayed at all. I had JUST backed up the last files I thought I'd want and restarted to this problem. Now, unless I boot with the install disc, nothing happens. I just get gray screen. Has anyone ever heard of this? Thank you!

    Tim,
    Did you try to "Repair Disk"??? If not, try to repair it. I could not repair my HD with DU, which is why I chose to use DiskWarrior.
    Looks like you're getting the same result I was but without the error code (9972). There may be a difference in seriousness in getting the numeric code and not. I do not know that to be true or not.
    From my experience of the last few days, I would try this only because it DID WORK for me.
    I don't know what version of DiskWarrior you have access to, but if is version 3, then you can download the update and they include a wizard to make a fresh bootable CD which includes all of the updated code. And this new code is what will make your repair happen. So, check out the version of the DW disk you have, then go to the Alsoft website and download the update which is free. Free may depend on what version you have.
    Having done that, then you can boot from your new DW CD and repair your Directory which is what I did this afternoon. When done, run Disk Utility from your OS X DVD, and check your Permissions and Verify Disk. When I did this, all of my problems had been repaired, so I would expect you will have the same success as I did.
    Now, if all of the above went well, you can then select to Install from your OS DVD and you should see your HD icon.
    One step at a time. Good luck. Keep me posted.

  • How can I find a list of installed add-ons in FF5? (the one I'm looking for is installed, but does not appear in Extensions, Appearance, or Plugins)

    I installed an add-on that would allow me to change the content of the context menu. It works like a charm and I want to make a donation to the person who developed it, but I can't remember its name and I don't know how to find a list of the add-ons that I have installed. I've checked the lists that appear when you go to the Add-ons Manager under Extensions, Appearance, and Plugins, but it isn't there. Any help would be very much appreciated.

    You're welcome. Could you mark the problem as solved, that along with the comment you already made helps other users with similar problems find aspects of Firefox and try things out for themselves, Thanks.

  • Re-installed iPhoto Does not appear in Finder/Applications

    I had iPhoto on my MBPro and attempted to transfer my iPhotos from my iMac to it. I was not satisfied with the transfer so I sent photos and iPhoto to Trash. I then re-installed iLife but after installation, I can not find iPhoto.app in Finder or on doc or on laptop.
    Where should I look for iPhoto?
    What should I have done/not have done/should do/ or not do/ Now?
    I really need to get the iPhotos albums and photos from iMac to MBPro before Tuesday of next week (06/09/09)
    Thanks for your help.
    I use iPhoto '08!
    Thanks.

    iPhoto should be in the applications folder - if it is not delete all iPhoto receipts - "your hard drive" ==> library ==> receipts==> - and install again
    Note in the future the application is separate from the library - and you can have two different libraries for the same version on a machine (actually any number of libraries) and switch between them by launching iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) key and using the select library option

  • Re-installed CS3 and Bridge does not appear...?

    I was having major issues with Bridge (slow-moving, then crashing and finally an inability to open altogether).  I tried a c number of things like clearing caches, repairing permissions etc.  In the end, I uninstalled Photoshop CS3 and deleted all Bridge files, and reinstalled PS from the CD.  However, after the re-instal, Bridge does not appear in the Apps folder and does not seem to have loaded at all.  How do I get Bridge back?  Any ideas?  Clearly I should not have simply deleted the faulty Bridge app., but I assumed a clean re-install of PS CS3 would re-load Bridge.  Any suggestions?  Thanks....

    Don't know why Bridge application was still there while having uninstalled
    PSCS3 using the uninstaller that Adobe provides in either the utility folder
    or in the application folder itself. (or did you you remove the application
    by dragging it to the trash, usually a very bad idea when an official
    uninstaller app is provided for this task)
    However reinstall should by default install Bridge again in the default
    application folder on root level. That is if you have not chosen anything
    else when installing from DVD (you mention CD?  but the original CS3 was
    delivered on a DVD)
    You also should check if the installer has a checkmark in font of all
    application, I think to remember also in CS3 you have the option to choose
    for a custom installation without Bridge. Could you check that.
    And can you also confirm you have a install DVD and PS is in the default
    application folder, that is not in the user account but on root level on
    your system.
    Clearly I should not have simply deleted the faulty Bridge app., but I assumed
    a clean re-install of PS CS3 would re-load Bridge.  Any suggestions? 
    Thanks....

  • Boot DVD does not appear in list on Option Restart

    Greetings - I am attempting to run Stellar Partition Manager to adjust two partitions on my SSD drive.  I have setup a dual boot configuration where 10.6.8 as well as 10.7.2 reside on that SSD drive in two separate partitions.  To adjust the partitions I must restart the workstation from a Boot DVD created using that software, however after restarting while holding down the Option Key, the DVD disc does not appear as one of the choices in the bootable drives list.  I believe the DVD drive is functioning properly as I routinely use it to read and write discs, including loading software.  I have reset the PRAM, but that has had no affect.  So far I have not received knowledgable support from Stellar, and have kind of gotten the run-around.  I am hoping I can independently work around this issue.  Thanks for any thoughts.   Scott

    Hi Larry,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the Edit web part option disappeared in the list web part.
    I recommend to check if the account has permission to edit the web part, please check the permission of the account in Site Permissions and the list permissions.
    Please also check if the target audience is set in the web part.
    Best regards.
    Thanks

  • I can no longer burn a disc. The command to do so does not appear in my Files menu. All my recordings are 100% legal. I have installed a new version (it still looks the same), but that hasn't helped. I have done so before.

    All my music is from legal sources (albums owned by me, others from iTunes), but the Burn Disc command does not appear in the File menu, and nothing I do helps. I downloaded a new version of iTunes, but it still loks the same and may just be the same. But the problem started long before I did that.

    This did nothing. Where do I click on the playlist? As far as I have experienced, the playlist is a list of songs with ticks against them on the left. I can use the control key, but where do I point my cursor to select the playlist?
    You don't even need to show the general Sidebar as suggested by others.
    Select Playlists in the top buttons:
    then control-click on the playlist you wish to burn in left column, e.g.:

    I am running IE 11 on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit Service Pack 1. When I attempt to install Flash Player, it goes through all of the steps, tells me the player is installed, and welcomes me. I cannot open the player and it does not appear in the Start Menu, Task Manager, System Tray, or anywhere else. When I try to open a file, the site tells me Flash player is not installed. I have even downloaded it to a separate folder and ran the install with IE shut down completely. And Shockwave in ENABLED but in 32 bit .I have been trying to get this to work for about 3 weeks now.  HELP!!!

    Flash Player is a browser add-on, not an executable program.
    If you need to open a local SWF file you will need the standalone player (Projector) from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
    Note that the download is the player, not an installer, so you will need to make the file association manually.

    Start by rebooting the computer. If that doesn't work, search for adobefnt*.lst and delete all instances where * becomes a 2-digit number.
