Need Help installing OS 10.4.6

Have (tangerine) iMAC no previous OS new HD 130g trying to install from OS X.4.6 DVD Media "Retail". can not seem to update firmware without previous OS, can only download & burn from a IBM compatible PC if that matters, also have Disc 1 OS X.3.5, Brand New to mac realm any Ideas, Suggestions, comments

From Apple:
"Important: These firmware updates cannot be installed when the computer is started up from Mac OS X. In order to install them, you must start up the computer from a Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9 System Folder on the computer's hard disk (not from a CD). See the hardware and software requirements listed for each installer for details. "
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
So it looks like you'll have to get an OS 8 or OS 9 install disc. Check eBay. Once you get 10.4 installed, you can erase the OS 9 installation and resell the OS 9 install disc.

    Hello,
    Thank you for posting in the HP Support Forum.
    Your computer comes with Win 8 pre-installed but one of the steps to install/run Windows 8.1 is having updated drivers for Windows 8.1
    Please, go to Control Panel -> System (or Start -> type winver and open) and verify what is your current version - if it is Windows 8 or 8.1
    Windows 8 is version  6.2.x
    Windows 8.1 is version  6.3.x
    If Windows 8 in place, then , please read this article and enroll in the steps:
    http://www8.hp.com/us/en/pdf/instruct_update_win8.​1_EN_tcm_245_1508074.pdf
    Update to the latest drivers prior and post installation respectively for win 8/8.1 :

    Need help installing CC desktop app. I tryed to update Creative Cloud, like it asked for. It didn't update, so I uninstalled CC app. Now it will not re install/ I ran AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool also, so now all my apps are gone.

  • Need help installing Snow Leopard.

    Need help installing Snow Leopard on a 2009 iMac. Hard drive is only choice for location and message says hard drive can't be used because it is used for Time Machine backups. Ultimate goal is to upgrade to OS 10.6.8.

    Check to see if you have a file called backup.backupdb
    If you do that means at some time in the past Time Machine was configure to backup to that drive
    If that is not where you want your backup to to go, and it should not be stored there any way, then delete it and the install should work then.

  • Need help installing snow leopard on mac mini 10.5.8 intel based

    I need help need help installing snow leopard on mac mini 10.5.8 intel based so if u kno how pls message me thanks
    <Email Edited by Host>

    You need to purchase the upgrade disk (it is a DVD). Then just put it in and run the installer. When it was first released it was $29 USD, do not know if the price has changed or not.
    The usual precautions about backing up your data apply. In fact I would recommend either making a Disk Image of your current boot drive or using something like Carbon Copy Cloner to copy it to an external drive. I upgraded 5 machines from Leopard to Snow Leopard without any issues, but better to be safe than sorry.

  • Need help Installing Flash player 10.3 for firefox. It stops at 50%

    So I have Windows Vista Basic Home, I tried updating my Flash version in firefox because it was out of date, but everytime it start downloading it , then I get the a message that says "Error " Appliation in use."  I uninstalled it and followed all the suggestions on the websites nothing is working. I even  uninstall google chrome thinking it was the problem but I'm still having that problem so I really don't know what to do because now the only place Flash player is installed seems to be Google chrome that I had to redoawload, but everywhere else tells me that I need to install it.

  • Need help installing Adobe Pro 9 Product code [removed by moderator] to my new PC tower.

    Need help installing Adobe Pro 9 to my new PC.

    Hi albertc40027908,
    You might need to deactivate Acrobat 9 from your old machine.
    Then, install the software from a CD (if you have) and activate with the same serial number.
    If you don't have a CD, then you might install Acrobat 9 pro from the below mentioned link:
    Download Acrobat products | 9, 8
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,

  • I need help installing flash on windows 8

    I need help installing flash on windows 8

    Chris… No I was using the desktop version, I cannot stand the M version, guess it would be nice if I had  a touch screen..…when I finally got my computer to download the Acrobat Standard XI program, not sure how it worked, but I think it had something to do with Windows 8 not allowing itself to update all my apps and programs, even though my computer was set to automatically update any Windows/Microsoft updates…finally I got my Windows updates done, it downloaded like 36 files…and then I had to restart,(which also could have been playing a factor)…so finally got the program downloaded on Windows 8…but then I tried to run the new program and it says install serial #...so I assume that it was asking for the serial # for the Acrobat Standard XI…finally after googling the web, I found somebody that said try your older serial # from the previous program, and when I did this it finally works.. you would think with a brand new Windows computer I would have no problem installing Windows Updates…somebody needs to make a sticky about this, I am sure I am not the only one haiving this problem..

    This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. The Adobe Staff and PRE_help presence in this forum is undefined.
    The replies from here are not instantaneous. But, your fellow users all try to respond as timely as possible.
    What is your computer operating system?
    From where are you downloading Premiere Elements 13....direct from Adobe as the tryout or the purchased product? If the purchased product, do you now have a purchased serial number to go with the installation files?
    Where are you stopped in the installation....at the Sign In or before? Is the faulting module cited in any messages? What are the error messages?
    The usual questions:
    1. Are you working with the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    2. Are you running the computer programs as administrator?
    3. Are you working with a pen and tablet device instead of mouse?
    4. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    5. Are you installing the program to the default location on the Local Disc C (if Windows).
    Let us start here and then decide what next based on the details that you post. Subsequent troubleshooting may include:
    deletion of the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and/or uninstall, free ccleaner run through, reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.
