Install mac os x 10.4 with ubuntu
I need your help. I have powerbook g4 with only ubuntu as operatin system. Now I want to install mac os x 10.4 but I have no idea how to do it. I haven't the original cd of mac but I have the dmg file of the mac os x.
thanks
Hello,
You need a Mac OS X 10.4 install disk.
You would need to boot from that and use disk utilities to reformat your hard drive to Mac extended journal.
Follow the installation for Mac OS X 10.4 after formatting.
You can't install Mac OS X on top of Ubuntu without first formatting the drive.
If you wish to duel boot, then your need to obtain another Linux install software that will allow you to do so.
The DMG wont be much help, unless you can burn to disk. To do so it would need to be a disk image.
You really are advised to obtain the original system restore disks.

Hi, After I installed Mac Lion, I have problem with the tamil font while typing in Neo Office. Especially with the letters "e-Ex: தெ" and "ai-Ex:தை". Please help me I know its not bug from Apple It shd be some problem in neo.
Is your problem due to the keyboard or to NeoOffice Characters? You have to change probably the font. Not all fonts are supporting all Unicode sets. Which font you have in your NeoOffice set to write Tamil? Try with Arial Unicode MS for example.
Are the letter e-Ex and ai-Ex right in your posting? If they are right, how you inserted these letters in your posting? By copy and paste or by typing? If by typing, your question is related to NeoOffice. Probably you should reinstall or update NeoOffice? Or switch to OpenOffice?

Installing firefox on usb to use with ubuntu os
Hi,
I want to install FF on a USB and use it when running UBUNTU (live).
I doubt if the Windows version will run, can you recommend a site that will supply a version that will run under this OS.Thanks
A
Ps. I want to install it separately so I can update the browser.Hi,
Me again.
I take your point about not being able to write to CD-R. But I would expect to able to write to CD-RW. However, I have saved to a pendrive.
I have downloaded the tar.bz2 file and have checked the md5 hash. The hash in the programme is the same as that printer in the hashes directory. I assume that the hashes in the programme are calculated each time the hash compare programme is activated?
I did wonder about hackers however. Suppose a hacker cracked the FF website then substituted there own programme, say FF-Virus, then changed the hash in th hash directory. Presumably, we would think our programme is sound.
I wonder if the problem with hashes is more to do with the possibility of cracking websites?
Best wishes.

I have stopped using Firefox as nothing I have done has fixed this problem. I have tried shutting down Firefox and rebooting it, I cleared all my add-ons and then added adblock back (that's the only one) but it still doesn't work. I've deleted large files so that I have more space - I can't think of anything else that will work. I have spoken to four of my friends with Macs and they are all having the same problem with Firefox since Mavericks.
Hi thanks very much for your reply. I did a few things like delete my add-ons and I don't have the problem of the disappearing cursor (sounds like a Sherlock Holmes story) any more but it seems to have been a mac issue as there were many complaints on the Apple forums of the cursor disappearing since the Mavericks OS and not just in Firefox but in multiple programs. Looks like they've fixed it somehow!

How can I install Mac OSX on a computer with no OS
I just bought a PowerMac G5, but it has no OS and the graphics card is shot. I have tried booting via Firewire, but nothing showed up in Start Up Disks. What can I do?
Try to find one on e-bay but if you buy the gray disks be careful as they are machine specific and will have to be for a G5.
If you buy the full retail version these are black and will work on most machines.
Just ask questions or find out what OS X version your G5 came out with.

Hi, My Mac Mini 2006 early core Duo
hangs when i try to connect wirlessly to
ZyXEL VMG B Series.
I am using fresh install Mac OS 10.6.3 with
2Gb of RAM.
The same issue when i try to hooked up with LAN cable.
Any tips and adviced will be very very welcome, thanks in advanced to everyone!Hey there cutyscar,
It sounds like you are unable to connect to your router either by Wi-Fi, or ethernet. I would recommend trying the troubleshooting outlined in this article named:
Mac OS X: Troubleshooting a cable modem, DSL, or LAN Internet connection
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1317
Start with this step, and work your way down as needed:
Check all cables and power supplies
Make sure all the cables related to the modem are plugged in and firmly inserted. This includes the modem's power cord, the cable from the modem to the computer, and the cable from the modem to the outlet. To be sure a connector is properly inserted, disconnect and reconnect it. Check to see if the cables have been cut, chewed, or otherwise damaged.
If you have any hubs or routers, check their cables and power supplies. If you have more than one power supply available for a type of hub or router, try swapping the power supplies. A defective power supply may affect network traffic.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

After installing Ubuntu, now I cant re-install Mac OSX 10.0.4 on my G3
350 Mgz, Blue and White G3:
I installed UBuntu, then decided to re-install Mac 10.0.4 and wipe Linux off. After deciding to go back to OS X, during the install process of 10.0.4 from the disk, when time to choose which HD to install it on, it will not recognize the HD that Linux is on, it only shows up with the OS X CD, and it is grey out...
I have tried several times to install and find myself stuck at this point of not being able to choose the HD to install on, it did have OS X on this mac before I installed Linux.
Any suggestions? My buddy wants to buy it, but only after OS X is back on it...
Thanks in advance,
DocHello and Welcome back to Discussions.
Frankly it's a complete waste of time to go installing 10.0.4; it's nothing more than a beta and very little actually works on it well.
You should re-install OS 9 from the original install disks and ensure that firmware version 4.1.9 has been installed. Panther was the first really usuable version of OS X and the maxmimum that your iMac supports (10.3.9). Until then OS 9 was more functional in many respects. I'd advise your friend to get a copy of Panther from AppleRescue ($59) and do a fresh install of that.
kind regards

How do I download Adobe Flash Player on my MacBook Pro? It says that I have to disable my antivirus software but I never installed one. Does it come with the Mac in the first place? If so, how can I disable it or get Adobe Flash Player?
That message is just a standard one issued, mainly for Windows users, you can disregard it if you didn't install any anti-virus. (OS X has one installed by Apple that doesn't interfere)
It's just some forms of anti-malware are really paranoid and lock the entire machine down. (like Norton)

Hi,
I am getting an error as " Fatal error encountered during file installation. the installer will now cleanup and exit ! " while installing the JDEV on my mac 10.8.2.
I have tried with both java versions 1.6 and 1.7. and I have both the versions of java in mac but in the java preferences page shows only 1.7.
I have tried with shay's blog too.
I have installed other JDEVs 11g versions in my mac but they are success with shay's blog. I have recently updated OS ( with minor version changes) after this update iam unable to install the JDev and unable to view the both the java versions in pref's page
Please help me out.
Thanks
ShyamUnfortunately upgrading to 10.8.2 messes up your previously configured steps and you can no longer rely on Java Preferences to define your JDK setup.
What I suggest is doing this:
1) Delete your current JDev installation + the system directory
2) Ensure that the symbolic link as described in step 3 of the following link is still present and points to actual file
3) Follow the steps in this blog: https://blogs.oracle.com/blueberry/entry/how_to_saddle_your_mountain ... to reinstall JDev.
This should get you back up and running.

How to completely remove mac os and install windows 7 on macbook pro with retina display 15 inch
how to completely remove mac os and install windows 7 on macbook pro with retina display 15 inch
There's not much sense in purchasing a Mac to run only Windows on it. Keep in mind that drivers for Windows are a secondary concern for Apple. While Windows will typicall run fine, things like power managment are not optimized under Windows (you'll get less time on battery while running Windows). You will also not be able to install firmware updates. Firmware updates might be necessary whether you run Windows or OS X as they are updates to the code in your hardware and are not OS-specific. You must be running OS X in order to install a firmware update. You can do this even if you boot off of an external drive with OS X installed on it. At the very least, you should keep just a small partition for OS X on your internal drive.

I've installed windows 7 with the help of bootcamp on my macbook pro 2011.
Please help me how to install mac drivers for windows7 64 bit???You either download drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant and save to USB FAT disk, or you insert and use 10.6.x OS X DVD when in Windows and install and run the SETUP from there.

Step 4: Install the Boot Camp Drivers for Windows
After installing Windows, install Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows using your Mac OS X installation disc. The Mac OS X disc installs drivers to support Mac components, including AirPort,built-in iSight camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and thefunction keys on an Apple keyboard.
The Mac OS X disc also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows and theApple Boot Camp system tray item.
To install the Boot Camp drivers:
1 Eject the Windows installation disc.
2 Insert the Mac OS X disc. If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
3 Follow the onscreen instructions.
If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
Windows that appear only briefly during the installation don’t require your input.
If nothing appears to be happening, there may be a hidden window that you mustrespond to. Check the taskbar and look behind open windows.
Important: Do not click the Cancel button in any of the installer dialogs.
4 After your computer restarts, follow the instructions in the Found New Hardware Wizard to update your software drivers (Windows XP only).
5 Follow the instructions for any other wizards that appear.
6 Check for updated Boot Camp drivers by using Apple Software Update or going to www.apple.com/support/bootcamp.
If You Have Problems Installing the Device Drivers
If it appears that the Boot Camp drivers weren’t successfully installed, try repairing them.
To repair Boot Camp drivers:
1 Start up your computer in Windows.
2 Insert your Mac OS X installation disc.
3 If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
4 Click Repair and follow the onscreen instructions.
If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
If you need to reinstall specific drivers, you can install one driver at a time. For example,if your built-in iSight camera isn’t working, you can reinstall just the iSight driver.
Individual drivers are in the Drivers folder on the Mac OS X installation disc. -
Dear user, can i format and install a fresh copy of Mac OS 10.6.4, with another MacBook CD, because i lost the one that came with mine, thanks.
As you need to be on 10.6 to be able access the App Store to download Lion, either get replacement discs via Applecare (you'll need the MBP's serial number to get the right ones) or get the SL retail disc. I would recommend the Original disc replacement set (assuming they were 10.6) as they carry not onlyApple Hardware Test for your model, but the iLife apps other bundled sftware that isn't on the retail disc.
Once you've installed, and used Software Update to get to 10.6.8, you can then get Lion if you're feeling masochistic. -
I'm trying to install Mac OSX on an external drive with my Mac Mini
A few days ago, I picked up my new Mac Mini. I'm using the install disk included with the Mini in an attempt to install Mac OSX 10.4.5 onto my external hard drive - a LaCie d2 200GB.
The installer knows the LaCie is there - but it won't let me install it there. I had no problem doing this with my last Mac (Power Mac G4). Does anyone have any suggestions?
Mac Mini Duo Core 1.66Mhz Mac OS X (10.4.7) LaCie d2 Firewire Hard Drive 200GBIf you are using an Intel mac mini you need to change the partition scheme. Without doing this the Intel Macs cannot boot from the drive.
To do this you need to open Disk Utility, select your drive (not the partition), then select the Partition tab. In there you'll see an Options… button. Click on it and change the partition scheme to GUID Partition Table. Click OK and then apply the reparitioning.
Please be aware that by making this change you will be able to boot your Intel Mac from the drive although a PowerPC drive will no longer be able to use the drive as a boot drive. -
