Is powerbook can update OS 10.3.9 to OS 10.4 Tiger? & How?

Hi there I have a power book 1.5GHZ with 1.5GB RM, my OS X 10.3.9..
Today I got Tiger OS X 10.4.8 & OS X v10.5 Leopard..
BUT when I put the Tiger into my mac and restart with C key word..
after that show " gray image with power button & lots computer words with restart 4 languages notice"
After I restart again & again.. always show on same images until I export the Tiger Disk. Its anyone here could help me on update my OSX & place tell/ teach me How to do..Thank you very much

10.4.8 installer discs are system specific and can't work with a machine that did not ship with 10.4.8. Only Intel Macs shipped with 10.4.8, and Powerbooks are not Intel. 10.4.6 was the last retail 10.4 to ship. 10.5 shipped retail and system specific as well. As such you can only use:
discs which don't say Update, Upgrade, or DropIn on their label to upgrade your Mac.
If you are using retail discs which look like the above images, then you have some hardware issue with your computer, or its peripheral that doesn't support the installer.

I have forgotten my password so that I can update the software on my mac...any ideas how I can restore my computer?

Hi, I seem to have forgotten the password for my mac and need to update the software....any ideas how to do this without losing everything on my computer and without the disks?

Stick the 10.5 or 10.6 install disk into the computer and reboot holding c key down, under the Utilities menu is a password reset.
If your on 10.7, hold command r keys and reboot, access Terminal and type
resetpassword
and press enter.

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

Macbook can't see time capsule through airport utility; powerbook can.

This question probably applies to Airport Extremes as well as Time Capsules, but I happened to see it with a new TC.
My Time Capsule came in yesterday. My plan was to bridge it into my existing network to serve 802.11n over 5ghz. I did the initial setup using a 12" powerbook and it worked fine. I set the Time Capsule in bridge mode and for 802.11n 5ghz, plugged it into my network, and reset. The light on the TC turned green and all looked like it was working. At least, until I tried to connect through my Macbook Pro.
I installed the Airport Utility software that came with the TC, rebooted, then launched Airport Utility -- and it couldn't find any devices. It can, however, see the Airport's wireless network. After a reboot of the TC, it can also connect to the Airport's wireless network. I can get to the internet and the local network, but cannot see the Airport through Airport Utility and cannot see the Time Capsule disk. It's as if Bonjour is being blocked between my laptop and the Airport. This happens whether I'm connected to the TC wirelessly or wired.
I've tried restoring to factory defaults and starting over (I still can't see the TC, even after a hard reset) and I've tried a hard reset of the TC (I had to, actually -- it hung during startup several times). In each case, the powerbook can see it, but the macbook can't. I'm out of things to try. If I can't get this resolved soon, I'm going to have to return the TC, since it's useless if I can't access the disk.
I was planning on upgrading the two computers to Leopard over the weekend, then use the TC for Time Machine for both computers, but if it's not working for Tiger I'm worried that it won't work for Leopard, either.
Is there any variable anyone knows of that blocks a computer from seeing an base station through the Airport Utility? A non-obvious firewall setting, perhaps, or something that could be blocking Bonjour? Does Airport detection even use Bonjour, or am I on the wrong track?
Thanks

An update: I can see the Airport configuration of the TC through my Macbook if I pick File->Configure Other... on the Airport Utility, and then put in the IP address. Which leads me to believe that it's a Bonjour issue, but I haven't figured out more than that.
Of course, the TC is still useless for Time Machine if I can't get to the disk, so the problem remains.

PowerBook Can't Run Airport Management Utility

I'm still trying to find out why my PowerBook can't run Airport Management Utility, even though all of my other Airport software is up to date. When I try to launch the utility, it gives the message that it "requires Airport 3.4 or later", which I do already have.
Below is a description of my latest effort, followed by my original question, which has been archived in this discussion group.
I created and logged in via a new user account, but I still got the same 'requires Airport 3.4 or later' message from Airport Management Utility. I took it from this that the problem was not related to user preferences.
I then used Spotlight to search the Library folder. The only airport pref I found there was com.apple.airport.preferences.plist, located in this path: Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration.
The computer would not let me move this to the desktop, but copied it instead. I can open that copy in TextEdit, but if I double click on it, it actually launches in OmniOutlner. A check via "Get Info" shows that it is set to "Open with: OmniOutliner" from the drop down menu in the Get Info box.
If you open this plist in OmiOutliner, you find the information I've listed below. It appears to show that the file does know the Airport software version is "5" and not less than 3.4:
• Disconnect on logout 0
• AllowEnable 0
▶ Default 802.1X Configurations
• InterferenceRobustness 0
• Require Admin for network 0
change
• JoinMode 1
• Always remember new networks 1
▶ List of known networks
• Version 5
• Require Admin for IBSS creation 1
• Fallback Preference 0
The only other items in the Library folder with "airport" in the name are both in the Receipts folder: AirportTI2005-001.pkg and AirportConfigApps.pkg.
I'd welcome your thoughts on this.
My original posting was:
I have the newest PowerBook G4 , purchased this fall with Mac OS X 10.4.3 and AirPort Update 2005-001 installed.
When I try to run Airport Management utility I get the message : " "The Airport Management Utility requires Airport 3.4 or later. Click Update to check for newer software." While Airport Management Utility will not run on my PowerBook, it does run on my iMac with 10.3.9.
I've tried:
-installing "AirPort Update 2005-001" but it didn't solve the problem.
-installing "AirPort 4.2 for Mac OS X 10.4.2", thinking that if it were not needed, the installer would not run. It did install, but that did not solve the problem.
-re-installing "AirPort Update 2005-001", which did install a second time, but did not solve the problem. (I thought perhaps the installer for this update wouldn't run a second time.)
Does anyone know of a solution, or does Apple need to update Airport Management Utility?
(I've cross-posted this in the Airport discussion area, but I also wanted to check with others who recently bought the same PowerBook.)
Thanks for your help.

"OK, I've been following this thread since February and I think I got this thing figured out. Joseph Jordan pointed to the right direction and I did some more digging.
I had the same problem as most posters here:
- ALL 10.3 machines had AirPort Management Utility working but,
- NOT ALL 10.4 machines had AirPort Management Utility working.
In my case, no 10.4 computer had AMU working (updated from 10.3 or fresh install of 10.4, Intel or PowerPC, even brand new MacBook Pro and PowerBook G4 out of the box), EXCEPT one xserve that was updated from 10.3.
As I said before, Joseph Jordan pointed to the right direction, the file/folder AirPortConfig.framework in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ is missing.
It seems that AirPortConfig.framework was installed when AirPort 4.1 was installed. AirPort 4.2 installs Apple80211.framework only. I think...
In some cases, AirPortConfig.framework is there (updated machines), but the file AirPortConfig is missing in AirPortConfig.framework/Versions/A/
as well as the symbolic links to it and to other folders.
Solution:
The easiest way is to copy the whole AirPortConfig.framework to /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/
If you already have AirPortConfig.framework and AMU is not working, move it to the trash or somewhere else.
I found AirPortConfig.framework in the "AirPort Extreme Software Installation" CD (CD version 4.1 2Z691-5219-A):
1. Open the CD
2. Control-click "AirPort for Mac OX X v10.3" and select Show original
3. Control-click "AirPortSW.pkg" and select Show Package Contents
4. Open Contents
5. Drag Archive.pax.gz to the Desktop
6. Double-click Archive.pax.gz to unarchive the file
7. AirPortConfig.framework is in ~/Desktop/Archive/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
8. Drag AirPortConfig.framework to /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ You will be asked to authenticate.
AMU should work at this point.
Alternatively, download "AirPort 4.1 Update.dmg" from
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airport41formacosx.html
and follow from step 3. above.
This solution seems to work on both Intel and PowerPC machines.
Computers tested: Power Mac G5, Powerbook G4 12" and 17", MacBook Pro.
IMPORTANT: I do not know if this solution breaks anything. CAVEAT EMPTOR!"

Ipod Mini is recognized by iTunes and can update, but can't read as a disk?

Hello,
I have recently upgraded my iPod firmware to the latest, and am now having problems. I used to use my iPod as a disk, but now I can't do that anymore. I connect my iPod as normal, and iTunes sees it and I can update to it. But when I try to access it through My Computer (explorer), I will be able to access it for about 3 seconds, then it closes the window, and when I try to access it through Explorer again, it says it is not a valid file path? Is this a problem on my end or is the iPod dead? I've already tried restoring.
Thanks,
Magical1492

Use these instructions to enable disk use for the iPod. If neither the disk use nor the manual synchronization mode options are turned on, the iPod will disappear from the My Computer window when iTunes is done synchronizing it.

The icon for Safari has probably moved to make room for new apps. Scroll the Home screen to look for it.
You cannot reverse the upgrade.

HI, if I did this, then I believe that I cloud would then hold my info which I don't want. Is that the case? The reason is that I'm an old git, therefore used to not giving out info. Would I be right?
Thank-You so much for taking the time to answer.

This is a tedious solution, which is stupid! And some users report an inability to reauthorize a computer after an "en masse” deauthorization. I can’t believe Apple doesn’t provide a list or menu to find out which computers you’ve authorized! Obviously, APPLE knows (or else they couldn’t tell us how many computers we have authorized)--so why can’t they give us access to that information about our own computers??!!!
And for an already-authorized computer with a hard drive that’s since been replaced and upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, would it be recognized as a “new computer” and require authorization? Would its previous incarnation (i.e., with the old hard drive and OS) be considered a separate computer? Some users report they can’t authorize a computer after an OS upgrade because of that. Can’t believe we have to do such a bass-ackwards kludge!

The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You — not the previous owner — must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
1. You don't own another Mac.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the previous owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
2. You do own another Mac.
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can boot from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
Once booted in Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.

The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
3. Other issues
If you see a lock screen when trying to boot from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information.
