Install/Upgrade to OS X 10.5.4

Hello to all,
I was at work the other day and they will be throwing out an old iMac (possibly G3?) - my boss said it was bought in 2001/2002. Anyways it does have OS 9 on it, but I was wondering if I can install OS X on it? I myself have a brand new iMac Intel Core Duo 2 running OS X 10.5.4, I want to give the old one from work to my friend (They have some old Windows 98). Anyways if it is possible to upgrade the old one please let me know.
Thanks a bunch,
Peace!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
iMac G4s 1 Ghz and higher can have Leopard installed.
iMac G3s can't and can only get up to 10.4.11 if they have Firewire ports,
and up to 10.3.9 if they have no Firewire ports installed. Mac firewire ports are all 6 pin and look like port number 1 on the image below:
To identify your Mac, see this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1463?viewlocale=en_US
My FAQ* here discusses the important steps to selling Macs:
http://www.macmaps.com/selling.html
If it is an iMac G3, before installing any version of Mac OS X, make sure its firmware is updated while Mac OS 9 is still there:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
Use version 1.2 for Tray loading optical drive Macs
and version 4.1.9 for slot loading optical drive Macs.

Purch. & installed upgrade from iLife 2 to iLife 08, but I have questions..

Hi ~
_Purchased & installed upgrade from iLife 2 to iLife 08, but I have questions..._
First I made sure I backed up my 5,500 photos in iPhoto to an external hard drive. (The only downfall to this backing-up process is that I haven't found an easy way to back-up the comments attached to each photo. Any advice on this? Part of the "horror" to losing one's photos is also losing the comments added to them over the years.)
Back to the install... I installed iLife 08 and it installed correctly. I checked to see what version of the applications I have in the dock on my desktop - I figured it would just import existing data (photos, tunes, etc.) into the newer version and replace it in the dock - +it only did this for iDVD+, of course it wasn't that easy for the others.
I can't find the newer version of iPhoto. My iPhoto in the dock still says version 2. iTunes in my dock is version 7 (7.4.2). iMovie is version 3 (3.0.3). But the new Garageband is there in the dock. And of course, iDVD is the newer version '08.
I am most concerned with iPhoto and making sure all the photos AND their comments import correctly into the newer iPhoto 08. I am nervous about this so I want to make sure I do the process correctly.
I also want to make sure my iTunes information imports correctly to the newer version as well.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Kathy

If you backed up the iPhoto Library Folder then you got everything - photos, albums, comments etc
I can't find the newer version of iPhoto. My iPhoto in the dock still says version 2. iTunes in my dock is version 7 (7.4.2). iMovie is version 3 (3.0.3). But the new Garageband is there in the dock. And of course, iDVD is the newer version '08.
The Dock is not important. Look in your Applications Folder for iPhoto 08. That's where it should be. The Dock is just a shortcut to that. What version is in your Apps folder?
To upgrade a Library from v2 to iPhoto 08 all you do is open the Library with the newer version.

Issue installing/upgrading to ITunes 10.6.1.7

Im having an Issue installing/upgrading to iTunes 10.6.1.7 When upgrading it would not istall and tell me to go to Tools>Download manual. I also had an issue with my IPod touch not showing up in iTuens all of a sudden. So figuring the two problems were related I uninstalled iTunes (cleaned my itues folder in my C drive also) with hopes installing it fresh would work and now when I install 10.6.1.7 I get the following in a pop-up window "The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured. Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified. Please run the installer again, or click Finish to exit."
Anyone know what the issue is?

Try the following steps:
1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Follow the instructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components

If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitirion & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

Tried to use Iphoto and was told I needed upgrade. Try to install upgrade . Upgrade should take an hour if photo library is large. It's now close to three hours and still upgrading. Can't use Iphoto and don't want to stop if still upgrading...3hours??

You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''

Iwant to purchaseAcrobat Pro XI. Do I install upgrade if I have reader and Acrobat X trial version?

I want to purchase Acrobat Pro XI. Do I install upgrade if I have reader and Acrobat X trial version. Sorry new to all this software stuff. Hope someone can help out there.

You would only qualify for the upgrade if you had a purchased copy of a previous version that qualifies. For AA XI, that means you have to have AA 9 or later that you had purchased. So the answer to your question is NO, buy the full version.

Install/upgrade issue - xfree86

Hi,
I noticed something when installing/upgrading the xfree86 package... pacman appears to only download a portion (<20%) of the package, then it installs it. This isn't really a critical issue, since everything seems to work just fine, regardless. I'm just wondering why this is
BTW, I'm running fully-upgraded 0.4 arch.

There's an integer overflow bug in the progress bar code. The file will download just fine, but the progress bar wraps after ~42mb.

Try this from MacFixIt as well:
In the case of drive directory damage or problems with permissions, the solution is usually to use Apple's Disk Utility to repair the disk. Of course, you won't be able to perform this operation normally (simply launching the Disk Utility application, located in Applications/Utilities, and initiating a disk repair) if your system will not startup. So two options exist:
* Insert your Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger) media (DVD or CD) and restart the computer while holding down the "C" key. Once the computer has booted from the installation disc, select "Utilities" from the menubar and open Disk Utility. Repair the disk, then quit Disk Utility and restart your system.
* Alternatively, you can repair the disk while booted in single user mode if you do not have access to a retail Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger) DVD/CD. To startup in single user mode, hold down the "Command" and "S" keys simultaneously at startup. Once properly booted, type the command fsck at the prompt. Repeat these process until no errors appear.

Illustrator 8 on Vista-64 so I can install upgrade to CS2

I have already installed Photoshop PS2 on this Vista-64 system - no problem, have been using it for months. I seldom use Illustrator but now need to install so I can work with customer file. Won't install, installer exe doesn't even load. Note: Other thread focussed on suggestions that v8.0 is so old it's time to pay for upgrade. Well, I have the upgrade to CS2, but step-1 is install v8.0, then install upgrade. This worked fine for Photoshop, but not for Illustrator. Any suugestions?

Ooops, so sorry. I just tried to install the upgrade without first installing v8.0... worked fine. It simply asked me to install the v8.0 disc to verify (no need to actually install).
Please excuse my ignorance.

Error 1628 when installing upgrade of Fixed assets

'Error 1628' Failed to installed is occuring when installing upgrade of Fixed assets to PL100.

Dear Lisa，
In order to try to resolve the issue, please do the following steps :-
1. Go to Start   > Run   > %temp%, then delete all the files present in
the temporary directory.
2. Then Reboot your machine.
3. Reinstall the FA addon as per following:
o Start SAP Business One. Log on to the appropriate company.
o Choose 'Administration' -> 'Add-ons' -> 'Add-on Administration'.
o Remove the add-on(s) from the company by marking them and
   clicking the left arrow button.
o Choose 'OK'.
o Close SAP Business One.
o In Microsoft Windows, choose 'Start' -> 'Control Panel' -> 'Add
   or Remove Programs'.
o Check if any SAP Business One add-on(s) are displayed in the
   list.
o If an add-on is included, uninstall it by choosing 'Remove'.
o Using Windows Explorer, locate to the add-ons installation
   folder. Depending on the different versions of SAP Business One,
   the default installation folder is 'C:\Program Files\SAP
   Manage\SAP Business One\AddOns\sap' or 'C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP
   Business One\AddOns\sap'.If you chose a different folder during
   the installation process, locate that folder. Delete all
   subfolders (folders named like the add-ons) and, if present, the
   "_common" folder (which contains the framework for add-ons).
o Locate to the SAP Business One installation folder. The default
   installation folder is 'C:\Program Files\SAP Manage\SAP Business
   One' or 'C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One'. If you chose a
   different folder during the installation process, locate that
   folder.
o Open the following files : 'AddOnsInstall.sbo' and
   'AddOnsLocalRegistration.sbo' in Notepad and
   delete the imformation related to Fixed assets only,
    then save the file.
   Note: If you only installed fixed assets ,that means no other add-on installed ,you can completely Delete   the above files.
o Start SAP Business One.
o Log on to the appropriate company.
o Choose 'Administration' -> 'Add-ons' -> 'Add-on Administration'.
o Reassign the add-on(s) to the company.
o Choose 'OK'.
o Restart SAP Business One.
Hope it could be helpful.

Eleven

What a basis admin can do for PLM except install/upgrade?

We plan to introduce PLM into our SAP shop.
We want to now except install/upgrade, what kind of configuration, troubleshooting, etc., a basis admin can help.
Please help. Thanks a lot!!

Hi Christy,
There are a few bits of PLM config. which can require Basis assistance due to quirks such as requiring post-processing after a transport has been applied. An example of this that springs to mind is costing sheet configuration for adding overheads to order costs.
Thanks,
Richard

How do I install upgrades of CS4 package and bypass the installation of older version(s) first?

Hi,
I would like to install the CS4 designing premium upgrade to my new iMac. It's using the new 10.6 OS. My previous Mac 'past away' over three years ago. How do I install upgrades and bypass the installation of older version(s) first? I do owned the full version of each individual software from CS4 designing premium in the past, including the ones Adobe acquired from Macromedia. I also bought and used all the sequential upgrades of each individual software as they came out. However, my purchase of CS3 package came right after my Mac died, so I never register that package's softwares.
Thank you,
George

Reinstalling TouchSmart software after a clean install / upgrade of Windows 7

I have an HP TouchSmart 610-1150xt. I have no use for much of the preinstalled software, so I would like to perform a clean install of Windows 7. At the same time, I would like to upgrade the preinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate. In addition to all drivers, I would like to reinstall the TouchSmart software. I have already made system restore disks to recreate the factory state, if needed.
Ideally, I would also like to reclaim the hard disk space currently occupied by the recovery partition. During the clean install, I would like to create two separate partitions -- one for the OS and applications; a second for only data.
I have performed numerous clean installs of Windows in the past, but have always had access to copies/licenses of all applications to add to the clean OS. I have downloaded all drivers from the HP website, but cannot find copies of the preloaded software. While the application manager currently allows reinstallation of preinstalled software, it is not obvious that this option would be available from the recovery disks (or the recovery partition) after a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate.
Are individual copies of preinstalled software available from HP, perhaps on an FTP site? If so, how can I download these programs? If individual copies of these applications are not available for download, can they be accessed from the the recovery media or recovery partition after performing a clean install/upgrade of Windows 7?
Thanks.

Did a Google search: here's something I found: http://blog.ehuna.org/2009/01/how_to_reinstall_the_hp_touchs.html ...
