Leopard wont install at all!

I had no problem with my PowerBook, but my iMc just wont have it. "OSX cannot be installed on this computer". is the error message. Software up to date, 15 Gs spare space and nothing non-apple conected. Help! Any ideas.

Your previous post states:
+"I partitioned the disk( GUID partition table) and installed leopard."+
Therein lies your problem. You cannot install 10.5 on a GUID partition on a PPC Mac (or, at least you can't boot from one). You are using the wrong partition type. You need to use an "APM" partition on a PPC Mac and a GUID partition on an Intel Mac.

Leopard wont install

Hi, I have a friend who works in retail and he got me a copy of Leopard last night. So I tried to install it last night, and everything was working fine up until after the installation process was complete and it asked me to restart. So I did and my computer never booted up, it just stayed on the grey screen with the apple logo for 30 minutes. I tried restarting over and over again but nothing changed.
I have a G5 iMac, with about 200 GBs of free space, 2GB of RAM, and had 10.4.10 installed. Why wont my computer boot up? Thanks in advance.

I'm strongly suspicious about this.
First off Leopard is not his to "give" without payment (if that's what he did). It is licensed software.
Secondly, if it doesn't look anything like http://www.apple.com/macosx/ logo on the disk, I suspect it is an illegal rip off some source of an older copy, and your friend basically installed what is a beta version of the software, and why it won't boot.
Have your friend fix the situation, since he was the one who wanted to install it before its time. It is not available for release until tomorrow.
Something doesn't sound right. Visit http://www.apple.com/legal/ if you suspect any foul play.

Leopard wont install properly on Dual G4 PowerMac...I give up!!

I'm ready to send Leopard back and call it a day. I've done everything and I can't figure it out.

Leopard wont install - Software version issue

So a family asked to install Leopard onto a Macbook. It was running the highest software on Tiger possible. I think it was 10.4.4. Not to sure on that. I tried to install, it stopped said it didnt find high enough software level and that it required 10.4.*
I checked the computer it was exactly on the level it said required for the installation.
What can I do?

The DropIn Leopard disc will only work on Macs that shipped new October 8 to October 26, 2007.
The gray Leopard disc will only work with the Mac that it shipped with.
To upgrade your Mac to Leopard, you'll need Leopard retail which looks like * and does not say Upgrade, DropIn, or OEM.
Any further questions, which do not help Mxf solve their problems should be posted as a new topic at the link below:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1219&start=0
You'll get a wider audience and won't confuse Mxf with solutions that don't apply to them.

It would have been a great help to know precisely what Mac you have, so some of the following may not apply:
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
(If you are running Mavericks: After years of fighting malware and exploits facilitated through Adobe's Flash Player, the company is taking advantage of Apple's new App Sandbox feature to restrict malicious code from running outside of Safari in OS X Mavericks.)
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
You can also try these illustrated instructions from C F McBlob to perform a full "clean install", which will resolve the "Blocked Plug-in" message when trying to update via the GUI updater from Adobe.
Use the FULL installer for 12.0.0.44: Flash Player 12 (Mac OS X)
And the instructons are here: Snow Leopard Clean Install.pdf
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

k, so I tried installing the new update for itunes and now it wont work at all. it says that the mobile device isnt installed. i have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 4 times now.

My issue is it wont even reinstall onto my computer
Yes I'm aware of that. The procedures are also for trying in cases where iTunes can't be reinstalled due to a "Could not start Apple Mobile Device service" message.
If you're getting a different error message relating to the Apple Mobile Device Service (or Apple Mobile Device Support) when you try to reinstall iTunes, post back to let us know what that error message says. (Precise text, please.)

Oracle 8.1.7 on RH7.0 Installed fine now wont run at all!

I was able to install Oracle 8.1.7 on RH 7.0 using this fix... http://ftp.valinux.com/pub/support/hjl/glibc/sdk/2.1/README.Oracle8i
The database initialized correctly and I was able to setup and connect to the database. I even ran a port scanner and checked memmory...the thing was running! Then after the reboot the database wont run at all. When I type ./oracle it trys to load and then shows "Segmentation fault (core dumped)". When I try ./oracle start nothing is echoed. I tried to copy the lib files
ld-linux.so.2
libc-2.1.3.so
libdl.so
libpthread.so
to the $ORACLE_HOME/lib/ dir and followed John Smiley's howto but the relink script doesn't work! Even still I think something else is wrong other than the library. Can someone help?

Nevermind figured it out:) Like duh, I should read the damn Installation file:?

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?
