Installed Tiger, now Pro is gone!

Hello there! I recently installed the new Tiger OS, and everything seems fine. Now I have gone into use Quick Time Pro for the first time since the upgrade and all my pro features are gone! The registration details are all gone too! Aarrgghh!! Do I have to pay for the system again? I hope not - that would be seriously unfair!
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Cheers!!

Upgrade to Tiger likely overwrote your installed QT package/registration data. If it was already QT 7, then all you should need to do is re-enter your QT Pro key information. If your old QT package was QT 6, then you will either need to purchase a new QT Pro key or revert to older QT package and re-enter your old key information. If QT Pro was activated by other software (e.g., FCE) and QT version was not changed, then re-installing that particular software will likely reactivate QT Pro functions. As to loss of registration info, assuming you made your purchase online, registration info should still be available on the "point of purchase" Apple site (otherwise it's "happy hunting" time for missing key).

Re-installed tiger, now my Powerbook and the AirExp don't work

Have a 15" powerbook. Put a new internal drive in it. So, I did a fresh install of Tiger 10.4.4. Since I forgot my AirportExpress password, when I went to turn Airport on, and it asked for it, I did a reset button thing on the AE. So, here I am now. I can surf the web fine, get email, but I can't see the other devices on my wired network.
I have a cable modem, and a router, and the AirportExpress thing is connected into all that. I used to be able to do anything any wired mac could do, print, file share with the other macs I have. Now, I can't. I have looked at all the Network and Sharing settings, seem fine. I also have a Lacie EthernetMini NAS drive on the network. That does not show up either, but if I punch the IP in directly, it does see it. I also can't find the printer that's on the network.
So, it's connected, but not really.
Am I overlooking something obvious here?

By "doing the reset button thing" you likely restored the Airport Express to its default settings - which includes enabling its built in router. When that happens, you lose access to network resources on your home LAN that that Airport Express is also connected to.
To fix this problem - run the Airport Admin Utility. Select your Airport Express, click to Configure. Click on the Network tab. Uncheck the setting to "Distribute IP addresses". Update settings to the Airport Express. Finally, restart all wireless computers. That should solve your problem.

Did not update firmware before installing tiger now imac wont turn on....

I bought tiger for my imac dv g3 400mh computer and bought additional memory from crucial so that it would load on.
I got a message on screen saying that I needed to update firmware and to restart my computer which I did and now it will not turn on. The power button is on but the screen is blank.
I have read an article posted on here and I tried everything (the sleep/wake trick)etc but it still will not work.
any help will be appreciated.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Fortunately your Mac has a VGA port in its back panel, which should work to connect an external display while you apply the firmware after the fact. So find someone who has a VGA display, and download this firmware update and apply it while booted off the hard disk.

It is only the internal display which goes dark if the firmware was not applied before attempting to install 10.2 or later.

Installed Lion now sound is gone

If you haven't already, I would open your Applications folder>System Preferences>Sound>click on the "Output" tab in the center>click on "Internal Speakers"> at the bottom of the window, slide the "Volume" slider all the way to the Right>and make sure that the "Mute" box is NOT checked.

Update wouldn't install. Now iTunes is gone

I plugged my iPhone in and nothing happened. My iTunes icon was gone, and I had to find it in my programs. I clicked on it and the message
ITUNES CANNOT RUN BECAUSE SOME OF IT'S REQUIRED FIELDS ARE MISSING.
PLEASE REINSTALL ITUNES.
My phone won't sync of course and is all my stuff gone?

Try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Can anyone help? installed tiger, now can't open address book

when i click on the icon, it opens up for about a nanosecond and then disappears. so it's useless. anyone else experience this and know what to do? thanks! --nancy

Welcome to the discussions, Nancy.
Two things to try:
Go to the applications folder and try to run Address Book from there (it will likely be the first application in the list)
Make a new user, log on as the new user, and try AB there.
Let us know the results.

Having installed Tiger on desktop how do I now instal it on my macbook pro

Having installed Tiger on desktop how do I now instal it on my macbook pro? I was under the impression that, once bought it could be installed on 5 apple products. Is this correct?

Hello,
I was under the impression that, once bought it could be installed on 5 apple products. Is this correct?
Well, if it was the Family Pack, YES... but only for Macs that support it, generally speaking it cannot be installed on a Mac that came with a later version of OSX.
At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac.
Then click on More Info>Hardware and report this upto but not including the Serial#...

Installing Tiger on a Macbook Pro that came only with Leopard

Hi guys,
Any ideas on how to install Tiger onto a Macbook Pro that came preloaded with Leopard, and only has a Leopard disc?
I've got a refurbished Macbook Pro recently. Realised that one of my application doesn't work, Capture One Pro. Visited Phase One's website and they said it only supports 3.9 and above at the time it was released, which makes it 10.4.10.
Systems in the story below: Macbook Pro Core Cuo. Macbook Pro C2D (new set), Mac Pro, iMac Core 2 Duo
Here's what I've tried
1. I've an original disk that came with my MBP CD. When I try to boot from that disk on my MBP C2D, it gives me the crash screen -> "please hold the power for secs to restart".
2. I've tried installing Tiger onto my iMac and did a harddisk clone via Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) to my MBP CD. Tiger was able to run on my MBP CD fine.
3. Then I tried using CCC to clone it over to my MBP C2D. It doesn't work. Shows me the crash screen.
4. I've tried installing Tiger on my Mac Pro. Used CCC to clone over the disk image to MBP C2D. Doesn't work too. Crash screen.
5. Created disk images of Tiger with Disk Utility on iMac, Mac Pro. Tried to restore using the iMac, Mac Pro disk images of Tiger. Doesn't work. Shows me the crash screen.
6. Updated Tiger to 10.4.11 on my Mac Pro. Created disk image using Disk Utility. Restored MBP C2D with it. Crash screen on load.
I'm out of ideas and Apple Support won't open until Monday.
It seems that this MBP C2D is set on not installing Tiger, no matter what. Wonder if getting hold of a Tiger retail disc will do the trick?

You can install tiger onto a MacBook Pro up to version 3,1.
Run System Profiler and under hardware:

I have got tiger installed onto this MacBookPro which is the latest 4,1 model, but you require the latest Tiger disk (which the Apple Genius had in my case), but the volume, brightness and trackpad gestures do not work! Everything else is fine.

I installed Tiger and now my printer/scanner won't work

Hi. I installed Tiger and now my multi function printer/scanner/fax is not recognized by my computer. I have the Brother MFC 420 CN. I downloaded some drivers and such which I thought would resolve the issue, but still it does not work. What can I do? Thank you.

According to this page:
http://www.brother.com/E-ftp/macosxstate.htm
The MFC-420 CN is not listed. Sounds like you have a printer whose driver never was updated. Contact Brother technical support and ask them to fix that issue.

I bought a MacBook Pro 13" last week with Snow Leopard pre-installed. Now I am looking to upgrade to Lion. Is there a 30 day window to do that for free? I cannot review my App Store id since I do not have a Credit Card. What to do?

Hi MAX22,
Even though it's your computer but your user account might not have sufficient privileges to install the software.
Please try the following :
> Enable the hidden Admin Account on Windows 7 ( Ref : http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-wi ndows-vista/ )
Reboot and try installing in the new enabled Admin user account and check.

I'm a Pro Tools user, who just did an "Archive and Install" installation of 10.5.8 over my 10.4.11 on my 2 Ghz G5, now Pro Tools won't launch. I checked the extensions folder and sure enough, the digidesign extensions were left behind. Can I revert back

I'm a Pro Tools user, who just did an "Archive and Install" installation of 10.5.8 over my 10.4.11 on my 2 Ghz G5, now Pro Tools won't launch. I checked the extensions folder and sure enough, the digidesign extensions were left behind. Can I revert back to the "Archive" of my 10.4.11 System from the "Previous Systems" folder? If not, what's the point of creating the "archive"?

Did you select "Preserve User Settings"?
Archive and Install installation automatically moves existing system files to a folder named Previous System, then installs Mac OS X again. (See tip 3.) You cannot start up your computer using a Previous System folder, nor can you "re-bless" the Previous System folder. (See tip 1.)
You can choose to preserve your user and network settings before installing. This option automatically moves existing users, Home directories, and network settings. This also skips the Setup Assistant after installation.
Note: Because the "Preserve user and network settings" option moves, not copies, existing users, Home directories, and network settings, from the Previous Systems folder to the newly installed System, these items will not exist in the Previous Systems folder after the Archive and Install is complete.

BTW, it is never recommended to do a major OS change without having a full, bootable backup.

Acrobat X Pro is gone and only the trial for XI Pro is installed. Can I get X back?

I have CS6 Design Standard. On the seldom-booted (2x/month) Windows partition of my MacBook Pro Acrobat X Pro is gone and only the trial for XI Pro is installed. Can I get X back?
I don't know how/when/why the trial was installed because Windows is running for only a few hours a couple times a month. The most reasonable possibility is the App Manager. If it says there's an upgrade available I just click the button and pay no attention to details. I suspect amateurs like me aren't going to notice one additional character in the name, if that's what happened. If that is what happened I'll never use the app manager again for fear of replacing fully functional apps with trial versions with short lives. Of course I am open to the idea that I did else something stupid.
Thanks.
-Alan

The application manager should not have installed a trial version and XI is not an update for X. The manager should only install updates for the existing version.
To get AA X back you will have to reinstall it from your original media.

Installing Tiger on MacBook Pro. . . Problems. . .

Hi,
Im trying to install Tiger on my MacBook Pro. Im having a lot of problems and ive decided to reinstall everything. As i bought this second hand, it did not come with any CDs/DVDs and documentation. Its running Tiger OSX 10.4.11 at the moment and i will not let me restart from the DVD disc or open the application. It says that i cannot install Tiger on this computer.
Does anyone have any ideas on how i can do this?
Thanks, Ben

You will need to get the original system DVDs that came w/the comp from the person you brought it from. The person should NOT have sold you the computer without them which violates Apple's Agreement.
Until you get the system DVDs all you have is a glorified doorstop.
You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those -
