Mac os x 10.4.11 tiger

Ive just bought this mac in germany, brand new but software was already installed so everything was in German, when i got back i configered the computer settings, region, time and date to all US which is the settings i want but still there are some German in it, mainly only when they ask for passwords or even when i log into the mac at the dashboard its all German. My ipod is US so i want to download all software and music, i want to get rib of everything European and just have US. Do i have to wipe the computer clean and reinstall mac software in US? how do i do that? can still do it with the software i have? or do i have to do some thing else?

Hi, thanks, but i did that yesterday and also just now and its still the same. Everything is still in English but seems just not all of the computer memory if that makes any sence. The web pages and all the names on the screen are English but just when i log in to the computer its in German and some of the words the pop up when the computer is asking you a question is in German and also when i log on to the Mac site that gets installed at first is in German??? sorry just knew at all this computer stuff, any help would be grateful, cheers

    Check your machine's actual specifications here.
    It looks like you can support up to 3 MByte in a 17" iMac and up to 4 Mbyte in a 20" iMac, if your cache size coordinates with the specs on the linked page.
    OWC says you should be able to put 4 Gbyte into your machine here.  Wherever you get the memory, it would be a good addition.  This is the Apple Store listing for your machine, as near as I can figure it.

    You can buy the Leopard 10.5 DVD at the Apple on-line store for $129 http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC094Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA&mco=MzgzMjcyOA or from most any local computer retail store or a web store. Your Mac far exceeds the minimum requirements to run Leopard.
    If you are currently running classic applications when booted in Tiger 10.4, you will not be able to run classic applications when booted in Leopard 10.5.

    Hello my name is john,

So Yestarday i took it to the mac genius from the apple store, they did the basic(principal) thing in the guide book...re-install the operating system but it didn`t work they tried it by using an external hard drive, but it forze several times during the installation process & must of the times it didn`t display the internal HDD drive. Today in the morning i tried re-installing all my operative system first try the classic mac os 9.1, seocnd attempt the mac os X 10.0.3, and the last try the mac os X 10.4.6 Tiger but every single time/intent did`nt work for nothing, it always display a message about a panic and showing a bunch of numbers.
    If anybody has any idea, tips of what steps need to be taken...PLESASE POST YOUR COMMENTS
    DOUBLE THANKS

    Hello John
    Like tjk said....replacing a logic board could be expensive.....according to a wikipedia article "Laptop computers generally use highly integrated, miniaturized, and customized motherboards(which is a logic board). This is one of the reasons that laptop computers are difficult to upgrade and expensive to repair. Often the failure of one laptop component requires the replacement of the entire motherboard, which is usually more expensive than a desktop motherboard due to the large number of integrated components.
    but try this website : www.powerbookmedic.com there you could find a logic board for $ 300.00.
    Good luck to you with your computer,
    J.J.P.A

  • HT201257 mac os x 10.4.11 tiger: apple hardware test has detected an error (what does this mean): 4SNS/1/40000001:VDOR

    Can someone help?  I did an apple hardware test and it has detected an error:  4SNS/1/40000001:VDOR
    What does that mean? Can i correct it myself? how?
    my computer is  "tiger" mac os x 10.4.11, Processor: 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo,  Memory: 2.5 Go 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

    Thank's for answering, realy appreciate your time,
    A technician had installed last year "mac os x snow leopard 10.6" (family pack) at around $49.00 - I had originaly mac os x 10.4.11 (tiger).  He had changed my hard drive, added memory: 2.5 Go 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, processor is: 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo  (he told me he had to change my hard drive probably due to a power shortage. Before he did the changes, I had done a hardware test: it gave me the same error as today 4SNS/1/40000001:DVOR,  He cleaned the inside, but he did not change any sensors. What am i to do???
    Not too long ago i started having problems. (probably from a power shortage, at one point.  I don't know if my external back up got corrupt. so i don't want to use it. He had eraced tiger 10.4.11 and installed snow leopard 10.6.
    I eraced snow leopard and installed mac os x 10.4.11 (that came with my computer).  
    I wanted to install mac os x 10.6 (snow Leopard) without eracing tiger (chat sites say you can do that) but it said it couldn't use my hard disk because of my memory:  my info says: used: 18,78 Go on the disk, available: 446.66 Go, Capacity: 465,44 Go
    So that's when i did a hardware test with the CD1 of mac os x 10.4 (tiger) and that where i got the message.
    If i have a sensor problem, then i guess i'm waisting my time trying to reinstall mac os x 10.6 (snow Leopard) or am i doing it wrong.  I was told i could leave tiger there and upgrade directly to snow leopard, without installing mac os x 10.5 (leopard).  
    Thank again

  • Leopard Mac cannot see hard drives on Tiger Macs

    Running Leopard 10.5.2 on a Mac Pro 3GHz 4-core w/6GB RAM. I cannot connect to any hard drive / root directory on any Mac on my network running Tiger (10.4.9, .10 or .11) or Panther or OS9. I have 4 Macs on the network but only one running Leopard.
    The Mac running LeopardI can connect to the User folder on any Mac running Tiger but cannot see any hard drives' root directory on any Mac running Tiger . No hard drive can be accessed from a User folder even if an alias of the Tiger drive is placed in the ~/User/Public folder.
    The reverse works as usual. Any Mac running Tiger can see any hard drive on any networked Mac including Macs running Leopard.
    Has anyone else encountered this issue &/or found a workaround? After 2 hours with Apple Tech Support including a system specialist, they confirmed this behavior in Leopard Macs networked to Tiger OS Macs. (Hard drives can be seen between all Macs running Leopard) It was theorized by one of the Apple techs that the behavior was engineered to encourage upgrading all Macs to Leopard. BAD idea! I requested this be reported to Apple engineering.
    Any ideas?
    TIA!

    Download and read the documentation for Carbon Copy Cloner which is handy and what a lot of us have used over the years to clone, migrate and backup or manage drives and storage.
    I think 500GB is overkill for boot drive as most of your apps and OS only need less than 150GB, and all of your data and media and home folders can be anywhere you want and not on the boot drive. Also, Apple way over charges for 2TB drives and no reason or value to do so. That is history now but fwiw.
    You could I guess setup one 2TB as boot drive easy enough. Then migrate etc. Make that a backup of everything. Then manually or with CCC or other you can clone just what you want to SSD and to the other 2TB drive.
    Apps should always go to the boot drive, the SSD in this case, and not to other locations. No benefit putting them elsewhere.
    When you migrate are your files on TimeMachine or just standard files and folders? and can't selectively copy? Honestly never found need to use M.A. more than once probably.

  • Mac Box Set necessary to upgrade Tiger?

    I have a MacBook Pro running on Tiger 10.4.11. My system won't allow basic updates (Safari, iTunes, Firefox, etc) until I
    upgrade the system. I wasn't aware of this before. Now I'm behind 3 upgrades, making things tougher(?) I guess the route
    to go is to buy the Mac Box Set(?) But Apple doesn't sell it anymore so if I buy it from Amazon, etc. I am assuming I need a
    New, unused version - otherwise my computer will see it being "licensed" to another computer? Also, before I do that I
    would like to give my computer a fresh start. Once I backup files and docs I'm wondering if it would help to Reinstall the
    Tiger disc to restore it to original settings? Would that clean off any unknown/unwanted apps and such and create a better
    base before installing the upgrade? Does that make sense? And third, it sounds too good to be true, to install a disc and
    Voila! the system is upgraded. Is it that simple or what issues could there be? Thanks for any help!
    P.S. My system meets the upgrade requirements and has plenty of space.

    It looks like Snow Leopard is still available at least in the Apple online store.  You can get the box set and do the upgrade from that.  What you should do is a complete backup to an external drive, using, say, SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner, or even the Restore option in Disk Utility (see Disk Utility help for details) to create a clone of your HD. 
    Then just do the upgrade from the install disks, then sort out any problems as they occur, knowing that you have the cloned backup that can get you back to ground zero if you need it.

  • Mac os 9.1 upgrade to tiger - im sure there are postings i will search for

    im sure there is some documentation on this issue i will try to search for it in the mean time i thought it would be reasonable to post my issue as an alternate source of aid,
    imac with proper system requirements to upgrade to tiger, i never did and upgrade to os x and i unfortunately didnt read or do research prior to installing, when i put the tiger disc in i followed the instructions and restarted, prior to installing anything the os x cd stated that i need to upgrade my firmware then promted me to restart again, upon restart i got blank screen and now the imac power button lights up however the hard drive kicks in then powers down and the mac wont boot, beep, or display any screen images whatsoever, prior to install/upgrade attempt the imac was having trouble with holding the date and time settings, im not sure if that is related to the now non-booting/blank screen issue, i have read a rew articles on the firmware/tiger upgrade issue, i was wondering if there are any fixes or repairs for this issue, any questions please ask ill give you what information i can, thanks

    Hi, denderah -
    Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
    The Disuccsions forum software somteimes (for unknown reasons) mangles a posted link to another forum page. Here's a repaired link to the page eww referred to -
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607420
    Re the changing date & time, that is a clear indication that the internal battery in your iMac needs to be replaced. That battery, which is used to maintain PRAM and clockchip settings, will wear out over time - the expected life is only about 4 to 5 years. Leaving the iMac unplugged regularly (such as on weekends or overnight) will shorten its life considerably.
    For some models of iMacs, the early ones I believe, replacing the battery is not an intended user-level thing to do; on those it is a good idea to take it to an AASP to have it done.

  • Problem transferring Mac mail from 10.3 into Tiger

    macbook pro 15   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  
    Hello all. just bought a MacBook Pro and firewired my stuff from my old powerbook, but Mac Mail won't open up. it keeps giving me a message telling me that my Mail messages need to be imported into the Tiger version of Mail for the first time. I let the computer run for over 90 minutes with the message still telling me that is is preparing to copy over. Still no luck. Any thoughts?

    Hello thecitizen.
    The conversion from Mail 1.x to Mail 2.x is broken. Here’s an example of the most common variant of this problem and how to proceed in those cases:
    Just upgraded, Most of my old Inbox is gone!
    Your problem, however, is different in that you don’t even get an incomplete conversion. If Mail stalls during the conversion process, you may try to identify the mailboxes that Mail is choking on, quit Mail, move those mailboxes out of ~/Library/Mail/ (e.g. to the Destkop), and trash any Envelope Index-named files you may see in ~/Library/Mail/, so that Mail re-creates the index and tries to import the remaining mailboxes again, then manually import the problematic mailboxes as Other.
    Alternatively, you may want to set up Mail from scratch and manually import your mail back afterwards. This would allow you to use Mail normally while solving the problem of importing the old mail as you see fit:
    1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/. Move (not copy) the entire Mail folder out of there, to the Desktop.
    3. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Locate com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop.
    4. Open Mail and set it up again from scratch. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and check that everything works fine.
    5. You’ll have to re-configure all your settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
    6. Do File > Import Mailboxes and follow the instructions to import your mail from the old Mail folder that’s now on the Desktop. Import the Mailboxes folder first, then each of the POP-username@mailserver account folders, if any.
    There are two ways to import Mail 1.x mailboxes into Mail 2.x. The obvious one is importing them as Mail for Mac OS X. But Mail 1.x stored mail in standard mbox format plus some additional support files, and this allows Mail 1.x mailboxes to also be imported as Other, i.e. as generic mailboxes in standard mbox format.
    Importing as Mail for Mac OS X produces the best results when it works, because it takes into consideration all the files in the mailboxes, not just the mbox files where the messages are stored, and hence, allows information such as status flags to be preserved. Importing as Other, on the other hand, may work in cases where importing as Mail for Mac OS X doesn’t, because it looks at the mbox files only, ignoring the support files which is what Mail 2.x usually chokes on, but precisely because of that, information such as status flags is lost and previously deleted messages may reappear.
    Hence, you may try importing as much as you can as Mail for Mac OS X, then import the problematic mailboxes as Other.
    Note that what Mail asks for when importing depends on the format chosen. Mail always asks for the folder that contains the “things” to be imported. If Mail for Mac OS X is chosen as the data format, the “things” to be imported are the *.mbox folders, so you must choose the folder that contains them, not the *.mbox folders themselves. On the other hand, if Other is chosen as the data format, the “things” to be imported are the mbox files, so you must choose the *.mbox folders that contain them in that case.
    Note also that some of the mailboxes now on the Desktop may have already been partially converted to the new *.emlx format during the previous (failed) attempt to convert them in place. If you tell Mail 2.x to import as Mail for Mac OS X a mailbox that already has a Messages folder, Mail will simply ignore the Mail 1.x files present there. If the mailbox was successfully converted to the new format, that’s fine, but if the conversion was incomplete, that’s not what you want.
    As a result of doing all the above, some messages may be duplicated. Andreas Amann’s Mail Scripts has a Remove Duplicates script that you may find useful.
    If all is well and you don’t miss anything, the files on the Desktop can be deleted, although you may want to keep them for a while, just in case.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

  • Going from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 5 and Mac OSX Tiger

    Hello,
    I currently have one of the first Intel Mac Book Pro's running OSX Tiger.  I also have a 3GS running ios 4.1 which I'm about to upgrade to the iPhone 5.
    What is the best way to back-up/transfer my contacts/txt's/etc from my 3GS to my 5?  I can't run the latest version of iTunes and eventually this year I will upgrade to a new iMac which would solve the problem...but for now I would like to transfer all my data over.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    The problem with that is my current iphone is running ios 4.1 and my laptop is running tiger so I don't have icloud.  Without upgrading to snow leopard and then to lion/mountian lion to get icloud is there any other option?
