Is it possible to install Mac OS X tiger on a Windows based computer?

im really getting frusterated with windows, but i dont want to spend 500 for a mac. all im really asking..is it possible to install MAC OSX Tiger on a windows based computer? my computer has a dvd drive, CD-RW drive, 512 MB of RAM, and a nivdia G force 4 graphics card.
i guess my main question is if i can install the MAC OS X on my computer. you know how if you have a computer, you can just buy the Windows XP program and install it? can i do the same with the MAC OS X? please help..
  Windows XP  

Hi got_jorge,
Sorry, this is not possible, as it is not only a matter of data that you put on the Hard Drive.
Everything is different:
CPU, Firmware, Power Management, etc.
It just doesn't work the same way.
May I suggest?
Sell your computer, so that you can get a Mini and (most probably) don't need to buy a display, as yours should make it with the Mini?
Sorry.
Axl

    Is it possible to install Mac Office on an iPad?

    The only office programs you can install are the ones in the app store. there's the iWorks suite, but also Documents to Go (which I use) and plenty of other office programs.
    I'd suggest that you read the reviews and see which ones look good to you. Personally? I don't touch any app that doesn't have at least 4 stars. Let 'the masses' tell you if it works well or if it's description is just hype.

  • Re-Installing Mac OS X Tiger on MacBook Pro Fails

    Hi,
    I'm attempting to re-install Mac OS X Tiger from the install DVDs that came with my new MacBook Pro. About 1/4 way through the installation, the install quits and it says that it couldn't install and to try installing again. I do that and the same thing happens. What could possibly be wrong?

    Hello Chris.
    Any particular reason you are attempting a re-install?
    Are you trying an Archive & Install or Erase & Install?
    Did you check the hard drive for any directory problems via Disk First Aid repair via Disk Utility when booted from the install disc #1 before proceeding with the installation?

  • Can I install Mac OS X Tiger 10.4 on a dell Optiplex Gx280?

    Hi! I have a couple of questions which I can't seem to find the answers too.
    1) Can I install Mac OS X Tiger 10.4 on a Dell Optiplex GX280?
    2) Can I take the HDD from the aforementioned Dell and place it in my Power Mac G4 Digital Audio? If so, will Tiger still be on it?
    3) If I can't install Tiger on my Dell, can I rip the DVD drive out and use that to install?
    4) HDD's don't have to be Mac specific, do they?
    Thank you for your valuable time,
    Obiwan-Kenobi

    I recall reading about some emulator that will run some flavor of MacOS on a PC but I'm almost certain you can't simply install MacOS on any old PC without some sort of emulator, and maybe not even very successfully then -- otherwise they all would be running OSX . The closest to that so far is OSX on Intel Macs.

    It shouldn't but you should never upgrade to a new OS without backing up all your important data first.

  • How can I convert an outlook pst file to mac mail without using a windows based computer

    I recently bought the new iMac as my older Windows based computer crashed with a bad motherboard.  I have been trying to find a way to convert Outlook 2007 pst files to Mac Mail without the need to use a Windows based computer since all I have now is a Mac.  I have the copies of the pst files on my Mac, so I am looking for the most efficient way to convert them to the format that I can then open them in the Mac Mail.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi - thanks for the instructions but where do you get the option for Quicktime. If I do File - Export I only get the options for File name, place and size but no option that allows to select quicktime:-(

    It sounds like you destroyed your boot partition and the recovery partition.  Depending on it's age, your MacBook Air might be able to do a net boot.  Plug and ethernet connection into it and attempt to boot.  If it has the right firmware, it will find a net boot configuration on the net and boot that.  Then it will give you a Recovery Partition like display and allow you to reinstall the OS X version that came with it.... assuming that it was Lion or ML.  If your computer came with Snow Leopard, then even the net boot won't work. 
    At that point you need a bootable USB Key, or an external DVD drive AND a Snow Leopard installation DVD. 
    An Apple Store, if there is one nearby, MAY be able to get you going again.  However, whatever is on the SSD now will be toast too.
