Mac OS X Install DVD problem - PLEASE HELP

I click "Install Mac OS X" and it prompts me to retart to begin instalation. WHne I do it asks me for my password and then restarts. it then reloads and doesn't start installing anything. am i doing something wrong? PLEASE HELP

If the DVD is from a specific Mac model, not yours, then it won't work. You need a standard retail version of Tiger.
You might try inserting the DVD in the optical drive, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold the "C" key until the computer starts up from the DVD (gray screen with dark gray Apple logo.) Release the key when the spinning gear appears.
If that doesn't work you may have a bad DVD. You say you burned a copy of the Tiger DVD. If the Tiger DVD you copied is not yours then you are technically pirating Apple's software which is illegal. These Discussions are sponsored and provided by Apple, so they look dimly on people who are pirating their software. If this be the case you would be wise not to post here.

Solaris install/ boot problems please help

recently had to use solaris at work and liked it. So thought of getting it solaris 10 on intel box at home to learn it. I have never worked on a unix based OS before. When I installed the OS first time, the desktop would not start up, this was because of network setup. Reinstalled worked. After a week due to some problem i had to reinstall OS, installation went fine and but when i reboot i get this errror.
cannot find mis/krtld
boot error loading interpreter(misc/krtld)
elf32 read error
load error read of "platform/i86pc/kernel/unix failed.
boot path /pci@0,0/pci-ide@1f,1/ide0/cmdk@0,0:a
i have been trying to reinstall with many option like formatting with windows fdisk, linux installer everything as I saw somehwre that disk needs low level format.
I have googled but could not find any reason.
When I try to format disk using windows this is the information gatherd
Partition1 (solarisboot) 12 MB
partition2 unknown 152610
Hardware
pentium4 2.4 GHZ
1Gb DDR memor
Intel Original mother board.
140 Gb hard disk
Installation
install type 3 (tried all options)
entire disk for boot and solaris
accepted almost all parameters.
downloaded again , burned a DVD still same.
Any help will be highly apreciated, as I have been trying out everything I could find, also I really want to learn to use solaris

Looks like a boot disk problem.Try doing a lowlevel format with the respective tools.(Ex.If seagate harddisk download seatools) No try to install the OS.If you are facing the same problem try installing windows and see.The error looks like a bad blocks in the disk.

You are right, Adobe does not support CS5 because it is no longer sold.
Simply download the trial version of CS5 from this Adobe web site and input your serial number.

MacBook Pro 7,1 won't boot Mac OS X Install DVD

I recently replaced the standard hard drive that came with my MacBook Pro 7,1 with a SSD and when I try to install the original Mac OS X Install DVD (version 10.6.3) that came with the computer, the drives spins up, and the grey screen with the spinning city circle comes up and the spinning circle eventually freezes and doesn't work past that point (waited at least 30 mins) minus a hard shutdown.
I have reset the SMC, zapped the Pram, tried doing an online install from disk 2, ran the apple hardware test (no problems) held down the option key and booted to the disk from there! Nothing works (and I have installed OS X from a clean SSD on other computers.
Please help!!
Thanks!!!

Did you prepare the new SSD?
Drive Partition and Format
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Now try installing Snow Leopard.

Where to get a mac os x install DVD for my 12-inch powerbook G4 1.33 GHz

Hello All!
I purchased a 12-inch PB a while ago and since then I lost my Mac OS install Discs (1 and 2). And now I need to reinstall everything because my PB won't start. Does anybody know where I could get that? I looked into the Support and Download sections of the Apple site, but didn't find anything.
I know that I must use the exact disc that goes with the 12-inch PB, so I can't use my MBP install DVDs...HELP PLEASE! I need this 12-inch PB for my girlfriend...
Thanks!
BEn

Ben:
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I suggest that you call Apple Customer Relations and explain your situation. Have your computer Serial number handy. They will ship you the install disks. There is a service fee, or about $60, I think.
Please post back with questions or an update on your progress.
Cheers

How to recover I photos from hard drive? I was told by Apple tech to reinstall my MAC OS X Install DVD, after doing so all of my data has been wiped out.

I had an issue with my Mac and called Apple the tech told me to reinstall my MAC OS X Install DVD. I specifically asked if I needed to do a back up before doing so, I was told that it would not be necessary none of my data would be lost. After installation everything was wiped out. I am most concerned about retrieving my I photos. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

You did not do a reinstall but rather an Erase and Install. If you don't have a backup, which you should have already had, then you need to see the following:
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as MAC Data Recovery, Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

Unable to use Mac OS X Install DVD

My iMac came with Mac OS X Install DVD, but since I have upgraded to Mountain Lion through the Apple App Store and have made a bootable USB. So after formatting my HDD I'm unable to boot from the USB or the DVD. When prompt to select "where you want to install OS X" from the Install OS X menu I am unable to select the device (This disk doesn’t use the GUID Partition Table Scheme), Also I have tried using the factory DVDs but nothing happens, after loading the DVD and holding down the "Option Key" (Alt) the DVD then gets ejected. I have run out of ways to correct this problem, and I have sold this computer online and need to ship soon, and your immediate response is greatly appreciated!

UPDATE I have finally got it to install

There is a version of Firefox 4 available for PPC Macs:
TenFourFox 4.0.1 Firefox 4 For PowerPC Browser Released
Version 4.0.1 of TenFour Fox, FloodGap's port of Firefox 4 for Power PC
Macs that supports both Mac oS X 10.4 and 10.5. has been released.
Mozilla.org dropped support for OS 10.5 after Firefox 3.6 and for Power
PC with the fourth beta of Firefox 4.
TenFourFox uses almost all the same code as Firefox 4 and has nearly all
the same features, including faster JavaScript, WebM video, and HTML 5
and CSS 3 support, as well as new and emerging Web features, but with
the code needed to keep your Power Mac functional and fast. Out of beta
and it's ready for action, versiob 4.0.1 is a performance, security and
stability update incorporating Mozilla's Firefox 4.0.1 plus AltiVec acceler
-ation for WebM and browser graphics, and G5 JavaScript acceleration.
For more information, visit:
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
Source: from http://www.applelinks.com - posted April 25, 2011)
Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
But there is a workaround!
Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
With SilverLight, Microsoft attempted to create their own version of what a replacement for Flash could be - but not to universal acclaim. You can read more about it here:
http://silverlight.net/
So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards) if you are using a PPC Mac, but even this will not work with Safari 4. Version 2 only works with Intel Macs and does work with Safari 4/5. The solution is to download and install the latest version of Flip4Mac, which now includes a Silverlight component:
http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.htm
But the latest news is that Microsoft will probably abandon Silverlight in favour of HTML5:

The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...
