Need to upgrade to 10.4.8 from 10.3 BUT no DVD reader
I have a Tiger disc to install. But its a DVD and my current Mac has no DVD reader.
My main goal is to get a DVD burner and Retrospect running on this machine. My DVD burner is going to require I run 10.4.8. Is there a downloadable version of Tiger I can get so that i can move forward?
We own the copy of Tiger i have. Won't let me transfer across the network?
Any ideas????
Thanks
April
Tiger is not downloadable. You must purchase the retail copy such as what you have now. You will need either a suitable DVD reader (Firewire only since your computer cannot boot from a USB device.)
If you have access to another PPC Mac that does have a working DVD drive, then you can connect the two via a Firewire cable to install Tiger. See Installing Tiger without a DVD drive.

I'm trying to import photos from my iphoto library, but keep getting a message saying I cant import from 7.1.5, that I need to upgrade to 7.1.5 or later. But I have version 8.1.2. I don't know what to do. I've been able to import in the past.
Sounds like an issue with the iPhoto Library
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I want to upgrade my PowerMc G5 from 10.3.9 to 10.4, but my DVD reader no longer works-- so I cannot use an upgrade DVD to do this. Is there a site where I can download and upgrade to OS X 10.4?

Specific need: to generate a cylindrical projection NOT from a sphere, but from a flat image
Specific need: to generate a cylindrical projection NOT from a sphere, but from a flat image, like a person's face, etc., such that the cylindrical projection can be used to wrap a sphere (via other software such as the DX I use), where the face could be positioned arbitrarily at the equator (where a cylindrical projection image created FROM a sphere appears most normal), a pole (where a cylindrical projection image created FROM a sphere appears most stretched out), or anywhere else on the resultant sphere's surface. This would allow creation of a, say, a cylindrical projection of a sphere that represents a numbered billiard ball from a flat representation of the number design. Is there an Adobe or Photoshop product that will provide this? Thanks for any help!
Thanks, Noel. Here's the crux: the image sphincters at the poles, natch. I've been looking for an algorithm or feature in a graphics app that would assume that the flat image of joetalker's entry would be spread proportionately at the poles so that the size of print would be uniform (or the shape of face photo, etc).
Using such a feature would dictate that type, lets say, would be distributed on the flat image something like this in order not to lose too much at the edges (where the sphere mesh meets at 0-longitude), and sphincters as latitude approaches the poles:
++++++++Hello+++++++++
+++++How are you &+++++
++What can I do for you+++
+++++How are you &+++++
++++++++Hello+++++++++
Yes, over-simplified. Here with a photo, where the original photo is "X" signs, and the empty space is "+" signs, along with the desired created cylindrical projection ready for a sphere mesh:
Example 1 at equator:
original:
++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++XXXXX++++++++++
+++++++++XXXXX++++++++++
+++++++++++XXXX+++++++++
++++++++++XXX++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++
created cylindrcal projection:
++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++XXXXXXXXX++++++++
+++++++++XXXXX++++++++++
+++++++++XXXXXXXX+++++++
+++++++XXXXXXXXX+++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++
-very similar, with a widening at top and bottom of "photo", right?
Example 2 at poles:
original:
+++++++++++XXXX+++++++++ (bottom of photo)
++++++++++XXX++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++XXXXX++++++++++ (top of photo)
+++++++++XXXXX++++++++++
created cylindrcal projection:
+++XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX+++
++++++XXXXXXXXXXXXX++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX++++++
++XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX+++
-now with an even more widening toward the poles to compensate for the pole sphinctering.
If starting with a true globe already spatially correct, creating a cylindrical projection is commonplace. I'm attempting to find an app that will create a cylindrical projection-like graphic ready for a sphere mesh from a flat photo or graphic. The above example would place the photo in correct proportion over the pole of the sphere, discarding information at the ever decreasing edges as the image projects to the poles.
Hope this is clear, and thanks again!

Yosemite does not recognize HP printer after upgrade. I can print from my iPhone, but not my 13" Macbook Air (2013)
Are others having the same problems?Try this. Worked for me.
- turn off your router
- turn off you Mac's after removing all available printers
- turn off all iDevices
- do a factory reset of your printer remove all cables min. 30 sec.
- turn on your router first
- ran the network set up wizard
- give your printer also a new name like "DeskJet 2015"
Something which you don't have used before.
- turn on your Mac's and add your printer
- turn on your iDevices at least.
Should work after these steps.
It worked for me including all iDevices.

Hello, I upgraded my laptop from Snow Leopard to lion, unfortunately I have a 2 music programs that no longer work. one is called the Music PadPro, which is now gone bankrupt, can anyone help?. I was talking to the Apple Store earlier and they said if I upgrade to the mountain lion it may help but I'm not so sure,
kind regards
NigelThere's no reason that upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion would make this application work. I've looked up Music PadPro. I don't know much about it, but it looks pretty old. Here are the requirements:
Macintosh G4 or higher processor running Mac OS X Version 10.2.6 (minimum),
Mac OS X Version 10.3.2 (recommended), or Mac OS X Version 10.4.2.
Looking at that, I would guess that the application would require a PowerPC processor. After the release of the Intel machines back in 2006, Apple included something called Rosetta within OS X. This allowed programs developed for the older architecture (PowerPC) to run on the newer Intel machines. The reason for this was to give developers some time to upgrade their applications to run natively on Intel processors. It was only with the introduction of Lion that Apple pulled Rosetta from their OS. They had basically given developers about five years to upgrade their applications. Unfortunately, in your case, the developer went belly up. You can always install an older version of the OS on either a separate partition or an external drive and you can run your program from there. -
Need help upgrading to OS X Mervericks from OS X Snow
I would to get a help on how to upgrade OS X mervericks. I don't have app store install on my mac pro OS X Snow leapord.
The App Store application didn't show up until the 10.6.6 release of Snow Leopard.
The only reason I can see that you don't have the app is that your Snow Leopard OS is not up to date.
Run software update to get to version 10.6.8. -

Upgraded to 10.5 server from 10.4 but Server Admin won't upgrade Apache 2
I am attempting to upgrade an Intel XServe from Mac OS X Server 10.4 to 10.5. Everything goes perfect with all services and setting restored. However, when I attempt to use the Apache upgrade option in Server Admin to switch to Apache 2, it fails with the error:
"The server reported the error: 'CANNOTTRANSLATEERR' while processing a command of type: 'setApacheMode'"
The server itself is a modest set-up. It is essentially a private web server running only ftp, http, mail, a firewall, and about 20 users. I am also hosting two of the domains on https with certs.
I figured this has something to do with translating the Apache 1.3 config files. I am working on development machine with a clone of the server so I have been trying everything I can think of or find on the net to cure this but have had no luck. I have searched several Mac-centric forums and have found nothing.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.Yes, I did try 127.0.0.1 as well as the OS given domain ddeweb.local and even localhost. But no luck. In addition, I also tried various things with the config files in /etc/apache2 up to and including complete replacement of the entire /etc/apache2 directory with one from a clean 10.5 server install. That didn't even work.
The other thing I tried in an attempt to rule out the virtual host files was to disable all but the default host config which was refreshed with the default config. Still didn't work.
As for the output from in the terminal app:
Oddly enough the serveradmin command produced nothing. It just came back with the prompt.

Updating to Jaguar from 9.2; but no DVD drive
My Granny has a B/W G3 Mac OS 9.2 and it has no DVD drive. I have a Jaguar install DVD.
I also have a iMac G5 iSight with SuperDrive on it. I am told you can use a FireWire cable to use my iMac as a host or something like that. How do I do that?
Thanks
~Kevin~Hi, Kevin -
I believe the retail versions of OSX 10.2 (Jaguar) all came on CDs; DVDs for retail purchases did not begin until OSX 10.3 (Panther).
This would indicate that your OSX 10/2 on DVD might be one that shipped with a machine, rather than a retail version, and so is model-specific. If so, it probably will not work for your Granny's B&W G3. The retail ones have universal installers, capable of installing that OS on any Mac supported by Apple for that OS version.
You can often get retail versions of older OSX versions from sites like these -
http://store.yahoo.com/hardcoremac/index.html - Apple Reseller
http://www.applerescue.com/
Although the B&W G3 models do have a firewire port, they are very limited in use for Firewire Target Disk Mode connections - the B&W G3 can be the Host machine, but not the Target machine. It is a hardware limitation, no workaround possible.
Article #58583 - Firewire Target Disk Mode
I'm not sure that installing over firewire (via Firewire Target Disk Mode) would work anyway - OS installers usually install the appropriate complement of files based on the machine whose OS it is booted to (including the OS on a CD in that machine), hence may not install any model-specific files needed by the Target machine if that machine is dis-similar to the Host machine. -
I want to upgrade my macbook white to the current software, however it says that it is up to date even though I only have 10.5.8....
Someone please help me figure out what I need to do to get the current software..You need to understand the difference between an Update and an Upgrade.
An Update is a free change within an existing Operating System. Such as the .8 added to 10.5.
An Upgrade is a complete new Operating System that must be purchased. Such as 10.5 Leopard to 10.6 Snow Leopard.
You need to upgrade to 10.6. The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list.
The App Store which is required to download 10.7 or 10.8 is part of the 10.6.6 update.
If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=10.6+snow+leopard&_sacat=0&_odkw=mac+os+10.6 &_osacat=0
First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard.
The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion.
The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion.
Mac OS 10.5 Leopard became obsolete in July of 2009. Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard came out in July of 2009 and became obsolete in July of 2011 when 10.7 Lion was introduced. Unlike earlier Operating Systems which were removed from the Apple Store when a new OS came out Apple kept Snow Leopard around for a year until 10.8 Mountain Lion came out because the App Store which came out with the 10.6.6 update was required to download Lion.. When Mountain Lion came out they removed Snow Leopard and Lion from the online store. -
I have a MAC OSX 10.4.11 and need to upgrade
I have a MAC OSX 10.4.11 and need to upgrade. I'm not too computer savvy but can handle basic things. How should I proceed?
Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a G3, no further upgrades are available.
If it's a G4 or G5, buy a retail Mac OS X 10.5 DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay.
If it's an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

Are you sharing the same iCloud account as your daughter? If so, that would explain why your contacts are merged. To fix this, you would need to migrate her device(s) to her own iCloud account. After doing so, you could then delete her contacts from your Mac without effecting the contacts on her device(s).
As far as messages, do you have your own iPhone? -

I bought an iPhone 4 from a lady who failed to mention she could not do a hard reset because she didn't know the pass code. So now I need to delete this lady's information from my iPhone but I have already entered the wrong pass code 9 times. Any way I can bypass this pass code thing? Since I did not buy it from the apple store I have no warranty or support. Please any and all information and suggestions are greatly appreciated
You'll need to put the device into Recovery Mode and restore it:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If that still doesn't work, try DFU mode:
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
Critical note: the seller set up Find My iPhone (iPad/iPod), however, then it has the Activation Lock on it and you'll need her to erase the iPhone through her iCloud account and then remove it from her account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
If she won't or can't do that, then you have purchased a high-priced fancy brick and should get your money back from her.
