My wife's e mac will not allow us to upgrade to tiger using Tiger dvd
Help please any suggestions on how I can get the Tiger family pack upgrade to up load to my E mac. I have tried several times. It starts going through the download process (20 min or so ) and then at the last minuet a prompt pops up saying there was a problem. Just to make sure disk worked I succesfully upgraded my powerbook no problem.
Pato:
Thanks for posting back with updated information.
At 256 MB of RAM your computer barely meets the the minimum system requirements for Tiger. Although that should not necessarily cause the install issue you are experiencing, it could be a factor. Your eMac will accomodate 2 - PC2700 DDR333 184-pin SDRAM for a maximum of 1 GB total. I recommend that you put in at least one 512 MB module. If there are 2 128 modules, you will have to remove one. That will bring you up to 640 MB of RAM.
In terms of installation,
What installation option are you using? e.g. erase and install, archive and install etc.
Do you have an up-to-date backup of your eMac?
Do you have a lot of data and/or third-party software to backup?
Please post back with information requested, as well as any other questions or comments.
Good luck.

My Mac will not allow me to downlode the latest iTunes and now I can not connect my phone and computer. THis is very frustrating! HELP!!!
Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac". Write down what it says about "version"and report that here. Now continue to "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
Even my 12 year old Mac lets me download the newest iTunes. Of course I can't install it but any computer can download the installer files so we need to know precisely what you are trying and what error messages you are seeing. -

My MacBook Pro is running on a 10.5.8 operating system but has not allowed me to upgrade. It has been fine for the past few years but is now getting to the point where programs are not functioning properly. What operating system should I be trying to upgrade to and what should I do in order for the upgrade to work? I have tried upgrading to Mac OS X Snow Leopard but it says that I need 10.6 in order to upgrade to Snow Leopard. The only upgrade that has begun to work has been a 10.5.6 which is a less updated version of the operating system that I'm already using. Will downloading 10.5.6 allow me to upgrade to a better version? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, upgrade it as if it was a Core Duo Mac, and if desired, open the Mac App Store, and try downloading 10.9. If you get told it's incompatible, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004. If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.

Wifi/Internet Connects, but Will not allow me to access certain websites
I have sudden-link 3G/5G wifi personal network at home. It has 50 mbps and I have access to many websites. Now here is the problem, whenever I try to use a search engine, it will not allow me to use it. I have tried using google.com, yahoo search engine, and bing. It will not even allow me to use Facebook. My girlfriend has a lenovo and all of her websites work just fine, even the search engines. So that tells me it is not a network issue, it is a macbook issue. I have looked at many other troubleshoots, tried changing ip addresses and dns server problems and even proxy servers. If anyone has any other troubleshooting tips or any kind of answer to this, then please let me know. It is quite annoying when I try to use a search engine and it won't work.

My mac will not allow me to run my itunes software update?
My macbook air will not allow me to run my software update for itunes. It will go through the entire process until the last step and then say that it is not supported. Any help or advice???
Try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
Note that Reader XI is not officially supported on Vista; Reader X (10.1.10) is the latest Reader version for Vista. -

Many thanks.
That suggests that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.) -
The message is That I am using an older version of Firefox but I can't upgrade to the most recent version (within the last year) and I am losing the ability to do things. For example, I can't send out emails from Gmail now, the type on the screens of many web sites is squeezed small and some web pages are "scrambled" in appearance. Before I purchase an upgrade to the Leopard OSX 10.5 I would like to know if Firefox works properly with it?
Well, with a PPC Mac you can upgrade as far as Firefox 3.6.19 if you upgrade from Tiger OSX 10.3.9 to Leopard OSX 10.5, but Firefox doesn't support PPC architecture in the latest Firefox 4, 5, and 6.0 versions.
For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4.0 & 5.0, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
But, you still need to carefully investigate if your hardware specs are sufficient for either Firefox 3.6.19 or for 10-4Fox.

10.4.7 w/ 2 Wire Networking (Mac will not allow driver to see USB PC Port)
I've been using a 2 wire Networking DSL modem (AT&T/SBC) for years with no problem. Now with my new Intel iMac running 10.4.7 - the system will install the 2 Wire driver, but the new USB setting are wiped when the driver asks me to restart. Is there any way around this? It has completly shut down my DSL Internet system that untill now has been working flawlessly.
Maybe it's a good time to consider moving to a DSL router (wireless or not.) It is so much more cleaner solution... These days you can get a three-in-one box: DSL modem + 4port router + wireless access point.

My dad got this iPhone for me a few months ago as a gift since I had a really awful phone before. The only thing is, I can't seem to upgrade it to the latest software without it telling me it's already updated to iOS 4 or something like that. (I would be able to give you the exact iOS version, but ever since connecting my iPhone to iTunes, my phone isn't responding so I can't check the settings or anything.) I can't download any apps (I get an error message saying the software on my phone is too old) and so I pretty much am extremely limited to what I can do on this phone. I'm very frustrated at this point and incredibly displeased with Apple's products.
If someone could please explain to me why this is happening and what I can do to fix it, I'd be extremely grateful.
Thanks.What iPhone do you have? You can check in settings>>general>> about.
If you have a 3G you cannot update beyond iOS 4.2.1. The 3G is over 4 years old an was discontinued over 2 1/2 years ago. You need the latest ios to run the latest versions of some apps. If you have a 3GS you can update.
If your phone is not responding, reset it by pressing and holding down both the home button ad lock/ sleep button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. -
please help me figure out how to get this mac updated so I can purchase OS X LION
If your processor is PowerPC instead of Intel, you cannot upgrade beyond Leopard (10.5).
If it is Intel, you cannot download SL, but must buy a DVD from 1-800-MY-APPLE for $19. Same number can be used after SL is installed to buy a download code to be used in App Store to download Lion.
SL requires 1 GB RAM, though more is better.
Lion Requires Core2Duo processor and 2 GB RAM, though more RAM is much better. -
Hello, what else do I need to do to download Lion? I bought the software of the website to download on my MAC and it says I can not load it with my current version of OS.
You need to tell us exactly what version of the Macbook Pro you are trying to update. Lion will only run on systems that support 64bit computing. For instance, the MacBook Pro Core Duo can not run Lion. It requires a "Core 2 Duo".
Also please describe exactly what Error Message you are seeing.
