Issues Installing OS X Tiger 10.4.8 On my macbook with the restore CD's

Hello-
Im trying to install Os X Tiger on my Macbook's Hard Drive.I'm relitivly new to Apple and OS X.All Details-
I have a Macbook Version 1,1 Intel Core Duo 2.0ghz with Vista Home basic Installed (no OS X) I have created a Mac OS X Extended Journaled Partition on my hard drive thats 32.2 GB.My hard drive is 120GB, and Vista has about 78GB.When I try and install OS X tiger 10.4.8 using the macbooks restore cd's, after the languge screen it says that Mac OS X cannot be installed and wants me to choose a startup disc.Why is this? Im guessing maybe OS X needs more Space or something, or the Resore Cd's, Which I bought off of ebay (no apple store nearby) are not the right kind (and yes, I am sure they are genuine Apple) .Here is what they say:
MacBook
Mac OS X Install Disc 1 (and 2)
Mac OS Version 10.4.8
AHT Version: 3A114
2Z6981-5946-A
Can Someone tell me if these are the right ones, or tell me what I should do?
I thank everyone for their Time and Help
Have a Great Day!

If you bought the disks on eBay, there is no reason to think they will work. Tiger disks come in two flavours: first, the retail black disks with silver Xs; second the machine-specific grey disks with white writing. The former are PPC only and won't work with Intel. The latter will only work on the specific model of Mac they shipped with originally - that could be a particular model of PowerBook, a particular model of iMac, anything. You'd need to know if the disks will work with your particular model of Mac.
What happened to the original disks that came with the computer? If you bought it used, ask the seller for them - they belong with the Mac. Otherwise, if they are lost, you can ask Apple to send you replacement disks for a fee. (I've seen $30 quoted but I don't know personally.) If the computer originally came with Leopard, you're out of luck - Tiger can't be installed on a machine which originally shipped with Leopard.
If you do have the right disks, hopefully somebody else will answer your question because I don't have Intel and don't know!

  • I just purchased Elements. Can I install it both on my imac and mac book air with the same serial #?

    I just purchased Elements. Can I install it both on my imac and mac book air with the same serial number?

    Yes. You can install v12 on as many machines as you like, but only two can be activated at any one time. You should not be using them concurrently.

  • How to customize install with the restore DVD's

    HI,  Is there a way to customize the install of the restore DVD's for Vista.
    For example, I wouild like to have 2 partitions.  Also, I do not want all the extras installed, mcafee, etc.
    Thanks

    Is the restore partition intact on your Thinkpad?
    If you run the restore from the restore partition it gives you the chance to do a "Custom Restore" where you can choose to not install some of the programs.
    When you run the cd's it wipes all partitions and installs the resore partition. Then it restores windows from the restore partition without the option to do a custom restore. You would have to restore asecond time from the hard drive to get the custom restore.

  • I installed Windows 8.1 bootcamp but I'm having problems with the nvidia driver

    Windows 8.1 is boot camped and it works perfectly, Almost. Ill find myself scrolling, usually with the trackpad, sometimes with a mouse, and the screen will go black, flicker, and resume. It will also stop the driver in games when i press keys too quickly. It seems to be an input problem but i don't see how the keyboard and trackpad affect the video driver. I get an error message that says "NVIDIA driver has temporarily stopped but has recovered." I have installed the latest drivers from the NVIDIA Website as well as all windows 8.1 updates. Sometimes its bad enough that the computer reboots completely. Its getting frustrating as i can't complete tasks or enjoy recreational time. Has anyone had this issue and been able to fix it?
    NVIDIA driver fails but recovers(or Reboots computer) when
         When i scroll through webpages using the trackpad or mouse, usually when i scroll quickly
         or input keystrokes quickly while running programs, usually games

         Intel core i5 (built in geforce 330M)

    Is the current nVidia driver the one that came with Bootcamp?

  • Installed ES - Error when loading adminui: Property Editor not registered with the PropertyEditorManager

    I just installed LiveCycle ES on a Windows 2003 virtual machine using the WebSphere application server.
    Everything is finally installed, but now when I try to access the adminui url (http://xxxxx:9080/adminui/login.faces) I receive the following exception:
    Error 500: com.ibm.ws.jsp.JspCoreException: Unable to convert string 'adminUIResources' to class javax.el.ValueExpression for attribute basename: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Property Editor not registered with the PropertyEditorManager
    Am I missing something?  What now?

    You shouldn't have any appserver specific libraries in WEB-INF/lib (covered by the webapp's default classpath). Further on the appserver/lib (covered by the appserver's default classpath) should only contain appserver specific libraries and at highest 3rd party libraries which are going to be shared among all webapps. Finally you should NOT have added or modified anything in the jdk/lib (covered by the runtime's default classpath).
    So in case of a default and unmodified environment everything should just work flawlessly. In your specific case it seems that you've unnecessarily added/copied appserver specific libraries in the WEB-INF/lib or that you have duplicated EL libraries from (another) appserver in the appserver/lib or maybe -more worse- in the jdk/lib.

  • Installing IOS 8 on my iPad stuck on white screen with the apple. Help please?

    I'm in the process of installing IOS 8 on my iPad 3, and it is still on the white screen with the apple. It has been on this screen for 24 hours now with no change. Can anyone help?

    If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • Can't install OS 10.4.6 on my imac 5.1 with the install dvd.

    I borrowed the install disk from a friend and tried to format the HD and start up from the new OS but it doesn't work. Is the disk specific to my friend's computer or is my computer too old to support the new OS? How can I format and start up my computer without having to use my older OS version install dvds?

    I just wanted to start it from Leopard again instead of my Tiger disks, but I no longer have the retail Leopard dvd.
    Well, what was really confusing about your post was its title (Can't install OS 10.4.6...) where you implied you wanted to (re)install a version of Tiger!
    I was going to question you why you wanted to do that but I figured you knew what you wanted.  If you don't have your original installer disks then you need to acquire the retail installer.
