Installing Tiger on a Mountain Lion Mac

I'm setting up a Blu-Ray authoring suite and part of the software is a photoshop plug-in that only is supported up through Mac OS 10.4.8.
Our graphic designer is working on a Mountain Lion machine. Is it possible to install Tiger using VMFusion, other software or a different internal drive to get
the Mountain Lion Mac to allow the tiger install?
Thanks for any help or advice.

It's over three years old & probably came with Tiger originally.
Then it would had to have been an Intel based Mac that came with an Intel version of Tiger (10.4.x) since the retail version was PowerPC only. Otherwise, it would literally be impossible to run Mountain Lion on the same Mac.
check this link out-
It takes a very large amount of monkeying around to get Tiger to install in a VM. And the success you linked to was with a very old version of VMWare. As the VM software packages come out with new versions, those steps no longer work. Your chances of getting Tiger to install in a VM you can currently purchase is virtually nil.
no
Why not? What difference could it possibly make to withhold such information? Knowing could help others lead you to a solution.

  • How do I install Windows 8 on Mountain Lion (mac mini) 2010 Server using bootcamp with out Optical Drive?

    I have a 2010 Mac Mini server running 10.8.4 (12E55).  I just bought a brand new copy of Windows 8 from micrsoft.  I have tried using boot camp and it will not recognize a burned DVD in my remote optical drive on my laptop running windows 7 or my macbook running Lion 10.7.5.   I have had Microsoft on both of my computers remoted in for about 8 hours and they tried just about everything that I've tried.
    Microsofts tech support has made me a bootable DVD and a bootable Flash Drive through remote desktop (awsome good job microsoft tech support).  I have even tried formatting my mac mini's second 500GB hard drive to FAT32 using this whole disc as my windows partition.  I know that when I go to install windows 8 it is going to reformat the drive to NTFS but all the articles that I've found, say this is what you have to do to get the drive formatted properly to get the ball rolling and get windows will fix it when it goes to install by reformatting to NTFS. 
    Ok so right now I have my second 500GB hdd on my mac mini formatted to FAT32 and I have tried to reboot holding my option key like I do on my mac book.  If I want to boot to a different hdd on my macbook all I do is hold the OPTION key during start up and you get prompted to choose one of the bootable disc that is on your computer.  Well if I put my USB drive which is bootable on my macbook into my macbook and do this right now its not showing up. 
    Now I just put the DVD that they made me in my macbook and it shows up as bootable disc.  But the USB doesn't.  (1 hour later)  I just got microsft to remake the USB drive and am going to try that again so ta ta for now and I'll come back on to post to tell you if it works.

    Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox are available from their respective sites. Read their installation instructions which explain how to install Windows.

  • How to install PSE 9 on Mountain Lion (Mac)?

    I recently transferred from Mаcbook Pro to Macbook Air using Migration Assistant. When I started Elements for the first time on MBAir, it said that something was wrong with the installed Elements and I should reinstall. First I used the Air's ability to use another computer's DVD drive (it has none itself). The installer failed. Then I used an outboard USB DVD drive, but the installer failed again. I then deleted the Elements on the new computer and tried to install again using the disk in the USB drive. It failed. If there is anybody there who can help, i'd very much appreciate it!

    Did you go around after running cleanscript and delete everything manually? Cleanscript just breaks all the internal links. You have to do the work. Check especially hard drive>library>application support>adobe.
    You can never successfully migrate PSE. The migration assistant is designed to deal with applications which follow the apple developer guidelines and are nice tidy self-contained packages with everything in the Applications folder, whereas the PSE installer is more like buckshot--it strews necessary bits all over your hard drive in many places the MA isn't programmed to look.

  • How do I get MS Office 2011 to install from DVD on Mountain Lion?

    I just did a clean install of OS X Mountain Lion from a prepared bootable SD-Card on a new partition of my harddrive and wanted to install Microsoft Office 2011 using the original disc. But after double clicking the installer icon nothing happened besides the rainbow colored spinner showing up and disappearing shortly after and my optical drive making some noise. Activity Monitor indicated that the process of the Installer application doesn't react so I had to force quit it. I tried it multiple times to install MS Office this way using the disc but the problem persisted, also after a reboot.
    So far my system is still in a pretty fresh state since I installed hardly any separate apps yet and the most intrusive one of them is probably merely Sophos. OS X's Installer app worked the way it should when I was installing iLife the day before using the Applications Install DVD that came with my Mac.
    When I installed Office 2011 the first time, presumably one year ago on another partition on the same Mac which was running OS 10.6, everything worked fine and the same is true for the time when I upgraded to OS 10.7 (although I didn't install Office again, I just kept everything on the same partition).
    So is there anyone out there who experienced similiar problems and can please help solve this problem?

    Well, that depends on what you mean when you say "verified". But as I wrote in the first post I was able to install iLife from disc on Mountain Lion without much ado. And just now I tested a DVD with some pictures on it and the disc drive would read and display all photos in Preview.
    And given the facts that I rarely use my optical drive at all and that my machine is only little more than a year old, a drive failure seems quite unlikely. But thanks for your response anyway!

  • Problem installing PSE 8 on Mountain Lion

    Hi, I'm having trouble installing PSE 8 on Mountain Lion. It worked just fine on Lion, then I upgraded to ML, and it wouldn't open. I deleted and tried to reinstall PSE 8, and have not gotten beyond the "Progress" pane with a message that "a required component has failed to install correctly", with the error:
    "Adobe Anchor Service
    Error:
    Error 2."
    I have tried a bunch of different things; running the CS cleaner tool, disabling my virus software, repairing disk permissions, restarting my computer, and deleting all Adobe files from these locations:
    /Users/<<username>>/Library/Application Support >> The Adobe folder
    /Users/<<username>>/Library/Preferences >> Anything with com.adobe
    /Library/Application Support >> folder named Adobe
    /Library/Preferences >> Anything with com.adobe
    /Applications >> Application files
    /Applications/Utilities >> The Adobe Updater
    I've even created another admin account on my computer and tried to install PSE 8 there, but I still get the same error.
    Any help to get this sucker installed is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    I looked a little more into fixing the issue, and it turns out that I missed the top level Library > Application Support > Adobe folder. Once that was deleted, my problem was solved.

  • My Mountain Lion mac crashes after resuming from sleep

    Hello
    My Mountain Lion mac crashes after resuming from sleep every time I use it
    It happens every time the mac resumes from sleep and it started like a week ago
    I remember installing the new updates for flash? and xquartz and nothing else.
    I have also had microsoft word installed on my mac for about 1 weeks before this problem started so might be related to that
    Please share with me any tips on how to fix this because I am really annoyed of losing stuff after each time my mac resumes from sleep

    I have an iMac bought may -11, and it worked fine with Snow Leopard.
    About a week ago I bought and installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2. Everything went fine, and all software worked ok. iPhoto had some problems, but after installing update the system prompted to do, it has worked ok.
    The propblem occurs now and then, when computer is waked up from sleep. The Desktop occurs, but no software starts, not even System Tools untlil rebooting the computer. Of course, I can not reboot the computer from "Apple menu", but holding the power button down.
    This is very embarassing! OsX Mountain Lion has turned out to be a very big disappointment. I installed id because of iCloud (i have a new iPad, too with iOs 6 installed).
    Can anyone help me? Is there any other way to solve the problem than re-installing good old Snow Leopard?
    I would not like to do that, I bought Mac because I was bored in re-installing and recovering!
    Thank you

  • When I try and install CS2 on OS Mountain Lion is saying I have a Non HFS drive

    When I try and install CS2 on OS Mountain Lion is saying I have a Non HFS drive but I have!

    I doubt it as well.
    You might however be able to migrate the install from another drive that it is already installed on.
    What you can try is to partition another drive ebven an external one and install a previous version of the Mac OS and then install CS2 and see if you can migrate it to the 10.8 drive.
    Even if you do do not be surprised if you cannot run it. zThe only other possibility would then see if there is a hack that will allow you to run earlier versions of certain software on the Mac OS 10.8.

  • Mountain Lion won't install on 10.7.4. Suggestion from Apple is to completely erase harddisk and install Leopard Snow Leopard Mountain Lion. Is there no other way to install Mountain Lion

    Mountain Lion won't install on 10.7.4. Suggestion from Apple is to completely erase the harddisk and install Leopard > Snow Leopard > Mountain Lion.
    Is there no other way to install Mountain Lion?

    I tried and failed for several hours to install Mountain Lion, and was repeatedly getting the "Recovery System" cannot be created error.  I tried all the tricks: resizing the drive partition, booting from an external boot drive, all to no avail.  After reading other users struggling with the same issue, I had determined it to be a boot camp drive error.  However, I didn't want to have to erase and begin anew when I came upon a possible solution.  I had long ago renamed my boot camp drive with a "." (".windows" for me) in order to avoid having the partition show up on my desktop.  So, I boot into windows and renamed the c: drive without the "." ("windows"), and reboot into os x.  The install then went off without a hitch.  I hope this will be helpful for others struggling with this issue that may have renamed their boot camp drives in a similar manner.

  • Mountain Lion / Mac mail disconnects from MS Exchange server.

    We use an MS Exchange account for our company email. We bought 2 new retina display MacBook Pros running Mountain Lion last Fall. My old laptop is still running Lion. Lion / Mac Mail works fine on the old laptop, never losing contact with the MS Exchange server. Mountain Lion / Mac Mail randomly loses contact with our exchange server on a regular basis. This results in a slow and painful re-download of 2 years worth of email while I have to resort to my old laptop to keep up with new incoming email. I check these discussions occasionally when I can find a spare moment and I have found some similar symptoms being complained about, but no solutions yet. There have been a couple of OS updates since we bought the new laptops, but alas, no mention of this problem. It seems no one is doing anything about it. Have I missed a post? Anyone have any suggestions? This is getting really old.
    Thanks!
    D

    I was having the same issue! I finally found a solution to it!
    1. Delete your exchange account from the Mail, Contacts & Calendars pane in System Preferences.
    2. Go to Finder, click "Go" in the menu bar, click "Go to Folder" and type in "~/Library" (without the quotes) in the box. This will take you to your user Library folder.
    3. Use the search box in the finder and type in "com.apple.notes" and click "Library" in the search bar that appears. This should now find several folders and files related to the Notes app. Rename or delete everything except the help files (with the lifesaver icons on them). Just to be safe, I'll list the files and folders you should delete or rename and their directory paths:
    com.apple.Notes - /Users/danieloria/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/
    com.apple.Notes - /Users/danieloria/Library/Containers
    com.apple.Notes.plist - /Users/danieloria/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Preferences
    com.apple.Notes.savedState - /Users/danieloria/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Saved
    4. Restart your Mac. Put your exchange account back into System Preferences, you can go ahead and activate the Notes sync service.
    5. Open Notes and it should be working now!
    NOTE: I also deleted all the stored information related to the exchange account in Keychain Access when I deleted the 4 com.apple files. This may or may not be necessary, but I just thought it was worth mentioning.

  • After Installing the OS x Mountain Lion some o the softwares are asking for Java SE 6 Runtime. Can someone please help me find a solution.

    After Installing the OS x Mountain Lion some o the softwares are asking for Java SE 6 Runtime. Can someone please help me find a solution.

    By default, ML no longer comes with the Java runtime preinstalled. I believe the route to enabling Java if you are going to need it is to run the Java Preferences app found in Utilities. It will inform you of Java's absence and offer to install the latest version and activate it. On subsequent runs, the Preferences app will allow you to fine tune how the runtime operates.
    Note that the new default operation is for the applet plugin to be disabled. You need to enable it as needed and it self-deactivates if unused in awhile. Also important to note that Java comes in both 32 and 64 bit versions and you can set the preferred order. Default is 64-bit but I've had issues with some applets failing to run and have had to switch the order.

  • My macbook pro has stalled whilst installing an update of mountain lion, i can't shut it down, cancel the installation, nothing, it's frozen, don't know what to do..

    my macbook pro (with retina) has stalled whilst installing an update of mountain lion, the blue bar has stopped progressing, it has frozen and hasn't moved, I can't cancel the installation, I can't shutdown the computer, can't restart it, nothing...help!

    Thanks for sharing...
    To the OP - I had a upgrade from the App Store 'stall' on me last week - I couldn't even Force Quit the App Store app. I ended up just powering down with the power button and when I logged back into the App Store, the update finished downloading in seconds and I was ready to begin installation.
    Try that and see if it works for you...
