Mac OS 10.4 Tiger

I was wondering if i could use my ipod touch on 10.4 tiger

upland13, welcome to Apple Discussions.
Has your Tiger 10.4 been updated to at least 10.4.10 (the iPod Touch min)? The last update for Tiger is 10.4.11.
The iPod Touch requirement says USB 2.0, however, I would guess that it will operate on you Mac's USB 1.1 port, but very slowly.
 Cheers, Tom

I want to upgrade my phone to the 4 or 4s. My macs are still running Tiger. If I bought an iPad 2, could I sync everything to it from the 4 without using a Mac at all, and then be able to iCloud my calendar and contacts, etc?

HOW DO I INSTALL DISK OF MY NEW 10.6 SNOW LEOPARD ? NEW MAC DO NOT HAVE DVD ACCESS . BUT I WORK ON OLD MAC 10.4.11 TIGER THAT DO HAVE DVD ACCESS . HOW DO I CONNECT NEW AND OLD TO MAKE IT WORK ? THANKS

HOW DO I INSTALL DISK OF NEW 10.6 SNOW LEOPARD ? NEW MAC DO NOT HAVE DVD ACCESS . BUT I WORK ON OLD MAC 10.4. TIGER THAT DO HAVE DVD PLAYER . I KNOW THAT SHOULD BE EAZY . THANKS

You'll need to provide some more information .... what current mac mini do you have? Click on the apple in the left corner of the menu bar, click about this mac, and what does it say for processor, memory, and os x version?
When you say you have no DVD, do you have the mac mini server or is the DVD broken?
You can't do anything with 10.6 Snow Leopard on a PowerPC mini, however, if it is an Intel-based mini, you could probably hook up the systems in target disk mode to install 10.6.

Install MySQL 5.0.67 on Mac 10.4.11 "Tiger" Server

Hi,
MySQL v. 4 is bundled with a default installation of Mac 10.4.11 "Tiger" Server. We'd like to upgrade to MySQL 5.0.67.
Has anyone else done this with success? It would be great if we could simply install from the package, however, is there any concern with removing the old (4) version of MySQL before installing the new (5) version?
Thnx,
Ted

I found what was the problem, saplocales package has not been installed successfully because of the glibc version (which is to new, 2.5) the supported one is 2.4.x.
I think as long as you can meet the requirements for kernel version, glibc version, saplocales and sapinit packages you can install SAP in any linux version that you want.
So the problem was that the table J2EE_CONFIGENTRY couldn't be populated because of missing saplocales package.
Thanks.

Install MAC OS 10.4 (Tiger) on Power MAC G4

I have a power MAC G4 and I've installed MAC OS 10.1 and it's working properly. I'm trying to install the MAC OS 10.4 (Tiger) but I'm getting during the installation an alert "this software can't be installed on this machine".
Please advise if I need to install Firmware before and if yes, which version and it's link.
Thanks and regards,
Charbel

Hi cljma,
first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
you cannot directly upgrade from 10.1.x to 10.4.x (direct upgrade is only recommended for 10.2.x and 10.3.x). You have to do an Erase&Install. Also be aware that you cannot use hardware specific disks that shipped with another computer.
And yes, most likely you do need a firmware upgrade (depending on the exact model of G4 you have): Firmware Upgrades
I suggest you get the retail full install version of Tiger, boot from it, reformat the drive and start the installation from scratch. Do not forget to make a complete backup of all your documents and applications!
If this answered your question please consider granting some stars: Why reward points?

Java 1.6.0 for Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger)

I need Java 1.6.0 to run certain applications on my mac. There doesn't seem to be an update for java on Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger) which I am using.
Is there plans for a release? Did I miss some update? Because if they plan on keeping the update only for 10.5 that's just evil. (Unless it's not possible... )
and I have heard of soylatte but it's like jumping through loops of fire to get it installed.
Please tell me it's on the way.
Thank you!

Uh, though we don't necessarily like it that's exactly how the computer software and hardware business operates. Your observation with Java is just a sign of the Tiger senescence that started with the release of Leopard. If you look on the software websites there's a lot of, "Requires OSX 10.5 with Intel processor," already.

DO MAC OS 4.0 TIGER INSTALL CDS EXIST ANYMORE?

When I purchased Mac Tiger 4.0, I was told that it was compatible with my computer. Nothing was said about needing a DVD drive. I found that I cannot use a third party DVD drive to install, I don't have another computer to use TDM, and Apple will no longer exchanse DVDs for CDs even though they still sell this software to unsuspecting customers. I feel that Apple is putting thousands of its customers through **** because we can't purchase new computers every couple of years. The sites that do sell these cds, which seel for almost twice the amount of the original DVDs, are also out of stock. Are there any Mac OS 4.0 Tiger installer CDs around? I feel that I have been ripped off and am now stuck with a worthless box of software unless I am force to purchase a new computer. Why is Apple turning its back on so many customers?

Marcia,
A simple visit to http://www.apple.com/macosx/techspecs/ would have revealed a DVD was necessary at the time you purchased 10.4. Tech Specs were linked to the Tiger page. You can verify for yourself on http://www.archive.org/ In addition, the DVD requirement was right on the retail box's side. Also most websites that sold Tiger also listed the DVD requirement on their system requirements section of the website. I suggest if you did not see that requirement when you purchased the operating system to take it up with the place you purchased the operating system for not being up front with well known requirements on their communication page to their customers. They may or may not accept your complaint given that it has taken you 7 months to realize this issue. In the future it is always wise to take up an issue within two weeks of purchase with most retail stores. I'm sorry to hear it has taken you this long, but unfortunately there was ample documentation which apparently you didn't know how to find until it was too late.
As for your LaCie not being able to boot the DVD, this is a problem of firmware. Many LaCie's don't have the correct firmware to boot off DVD. Sell your LaCie, and get an http://www.macsales.com/ Firewire DVD drive which can boot the Tiger DVD if http://www.lacie.com/ 's Support doesn't have the correct firmware to install your operating system.
This is a user to user board, so your complaint to Apple here would fall mostly on deaf ears. Call Apple Customer Relations at AppleCare here if it was purchased from Apple directly:

Good luck!

I have a mac 10.4.11 Tiger and when I tried to use the new version of firefox. It says that it is not compatible. What version will work?

I am having trouble with some websites, i.e. amazon. It says that it works best with a newer version of safari, firefox, etc.
I had my hard drive crash so when I had the new one installed I tried to download the newest firefox and found it is not compatible with the mac tiger that I need a newer version leopard +
How do I download a version that will work?
Thanks

Just repeating what it says above: "Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5".
I have OS X 10. 5 but I am sticking with Firefox 3.6.24. The last time I upgraded to Firefox 4, I had to wait 5 minutes for every mouse click to execute.

How to perform a classic Mac OS search in Tiger

Apple does not guarantee that these links will be maintained or functional at any given time. Use the information below at your own discretion.
In an this post I will describe how to perform a classic Mac OS search and give example results. You may perform the search with or without the spotlight database. This search falls under the smart folder implementation introduced with Tiger. I have done all my testing with Mac OS 10.4.11. I assume this will work with any version of Tiger or Leopard.
The results will be slightly different with a spotlight database on the partition and without a database on the partition. With a database, you will not see Unix hidden files. You may be able to use all of the spotlight special find features. I did not test much with the spotlight special fields. Without a database, using the special features nulls out the search and the "Search for" field seems to give the same result as using the name field.
This search technique was obscured by all the hoopla over spotlight. Authors of Tiger books avoided mentioning the Classic search interface. When I looked in Leopard books I noticed some authors put back information on the Classic search interface.
For testing I created these files
For testing I created a test "z-find" folder on my Macintosh-HD, containing files and folders with various attributes, then copied it over to my Spotless flash drive. This means both searches searched for the same file names.
I put these files on my Macintosh-HD and Spotless partitions.
Here is the list of files:

Perform the Classic Mac OS search with a Spotlight database.
{color:red}By Classic Mac OS search I mean a search on the filename and the results shown in list format.{color} How do you get to this interface?
*Click on the Desktop to access the Finder.*
*Click on File then click on Find. (Command-F)*
Pick what folder you wished to search. With Tiger you can click on Others... to select a folder. Click on the plus sign to select the folder you wish to search. Be sure the selected folder in the list is the only one checked. In the first example I picked: /Users/mac/Desktop/iMac/z-find/
{color:purple}The "Search for" field on the first line is used for spotlight. Avoid using this box.{color}
*Click on the double arrow to the right of the first option (Kind). Go down to the name field.*
*Change the 2nd pop down field to Contains.*
*You can now search for the contents of a filename.* I searched for name contains: bash-
To see the Classic display format, click on the three line icon which is located on the upper left of the window (list view). There is a small refresh icon on the lower right of the window.

You can create a smart folder to take you directly to the search panel. Just click on the Save icon to the right of the window near the top. For readers of books, you should look under smart folders.

There are some downsides. Initially, the search will find both visible and invisible Mac OS files. However, the search seems to get confused between visible and invisible files when you select the visibility option. It seems to get the visible correct when you use visible but when you add invisible things get confused. Sometimes it will find invisible files and sometimes it won't. I used both the Unix invisible files and the Mac OS X visiblity attribute.
In putting the same search in the upper right-hand-corner spotlight search and in the Search for field, I did not get the same results. The spotlight search returned a 182 items while the with Search for field returned 179 items. The Search for field seemed to miss items in the mail boxes. With the Search for search you could display spotlight results in the classic format.
I did a successful search on my fat32 flash drive.
Perform the Classic Mac OS search without the spotlight database.
If you turn off spotlight indexing on a volume and delete the spotlight index, then Mac OS Tiger reverts to the prior Mac OS search facility. In the preferences for spotlight, you let searching continued on the partition.
Here is what I did:
I installed the spotless application.

Spotless creates the .Spotlight-V100 directory with the _IndexPolicy.plist and _rules.plist to prevent indexing on the partition.
I performed the search for files containing "bash-" in the name field.

bash-copy    {folder}

Limitations:
Does not search in Unix hidden folders. That is folders beginning with a period (.) .
Sometimes will find files beginning with a period (.).
Does not find Mac OS invisible files.
Using the special features nulls out the search.

New hard drive and mac OS installation question- tiger?

I have arrived at the sad conclusion that my iBook is needing a new hard drive. No better time for an upgrade. I have the iBook Dual USB, 800mHZ.
I noticed that OS Tiger requires a DVD player to install correctly? If so, what am I going to do? I only have the cd player on board. If this is the case, am I going to be stuck loading Jaguar on to the hard drive and then upgrading? If so, where does one find a retail copy of either Jaguar or Panther? (I noticed Panther also says it requires a dvd player to install?)

Hi PFMbyNight!
Here is some additional information.
Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (US).
Panther, is no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Tiger 10.4.x is the most up to date OS.
A Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version of the Tiger Install DVD, can be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, AppleRescue, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
Panther is only on CDs, not DVDs.
Additional info in these links.

Once Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version.
If your Mac meets the System Requirements for Tiger, you could also consider installing that.
And then use the PPC 10.4.8 Combo Update.

Mac mini 10.4 tiger can it upgrade

Can a Mac mini os 10.4 tiger be upgraded?

Does the Mini have an Intel CoreSolo. CoreDuo. Core2Duo...?
Early models of these shipped with Tiger OS X 10.4, too.
If the computer is an intel-based Mini, and not a Power-PC based Mini
then it could run an OS X later than Leopard 10.5.8. The Intel-based
models can run Snow Leopard (retail DVD) 10.6, & get a combo update
download 10.6.8. A RAM upgrade may be necessary for best performance.
So you could reply to this if so, then more info could follow.
Good luck & happy computing!

Mac OS X Server Tiger and Windows XP SP2 (Yes I know not a good Idea)

Hi Everybody
I have an issue. It have setup all the windows services as is said in the apple guid and I can't get it to work.
It seams to be having trouble connecting to the server / finding the server. And guesses on why this mite be. I have had issues with the DNS on the PC's as well however it works fine on the Mac's.

Not very specific about your problem.
But I think it may because you need the Win clients to use the tiger server as a WINS box.
In your windows IP settings enter the ip of the server under 'WINS'

Time Machine backup with Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger) system disc

When I purchased my MacBook in December 2006, it came with the Tiger OS. I have since updated with OS 10.5.. and have been successfully backing up my computer with Time Machine. I have run out of hard disc space on my laptop and have purchased a new hard drive. After several relocations including out of the country, I have only been able to find my original Mac 10.4 start up disc which is not compatable with Time Machine. Any ideas on how to restore my system from Time Machine to my new hard drive?

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
You must buy (or borrow) a Leopard Install disc.
Since you only use the Installer on it (you don't load OSX from it), it doesn't matter what version of Leopard it is, and doesn't violate the license.
Your other, safer option is to use CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper to make a "bootable clone" of your internal HD, boot up from it, replace the drive, and re-clone back to the new HD.
For that you'll need a separate partition on your external HD, or a new or borrowed one. CCC is donationware, so you can use it free for a while. If you decide to keep it, send them some $$ so they can keep it up to date. SD has a free version, but to do updates in the future (rather than a full replacement) or automatic scheduling, you need the paid version (about $30). Either is available via Google, VersionTracker.com, or MacUpdate.com.
Note that you will need the Leopard disc sooner or later anyway; AppleCare will send you a replacement for a nominal fee.

Mac OS 10.4 Tiger Compatability

If I upgrade my OS X from 10.3.9 to Tiger (10.4.3), can I still edit with Final Cut Pro 4.5 HD, or do I need to upgrade to Final Cut Pro 5?
Thanks for the help.

upland13, welcome to Apple Discussions.
Has your Tiger 10.4 been updated to at least 10.4.10 (the iPod Touch min)? The last update for Tiger is 10.4.11.
The iPod Touch requirement says USB 2.0, however, I would guess that it will operate on you Mac's USB 1.1 port, but very slowly.
 Cheers, Tom
