PLEASE READ AND HELP. WHY does the tiger disc keep ejecting and wont start?

i just got tiger and everytime i put it in the disc tray it ejects itself after 30 seconds or so... It wont show up on desktop or the startup disc.... tried holding C to boot up using it but it didnt work and tried all trouble shooting but nothing worked. Call apple but they said they dont support my computer anymore (its 6 years old). After i told them it was a G4 they said they couldnt offer me tech support. Please i have version 10.3.9. If you need anymore info please tell me. Why is it doing this. if there are multiple reasons plz tell me. I really want to install tiger. Yes i have full version of the DVD install disc. it is version 10.4 tiger. PLEASE help. Thank you

Hi ddkillswitch, and a warm welcome to the forums!
When you say you have the full version, what does it say on the Disks for numbers & such? Is it the Black Retail version?
What happens if you have Disk Utility open when you insert the DVD, or is it CDs?

    why does the store app keeps loading and doesn't work ?

    Hi Peter,
    In order to analyze your issue better, we need more detailed information.
    Did you mean when you launch the Windows store app, the app can't start? Was there any prompt message or error code? Did this issue occur on all Windows Store app or specific one?

  • Why does the "Devices" gear keep spinning and spinning?

    Finally got my headset today. Haven't had a chance to field test it much. But I am wondering why, after pairing, that "Devices" gear thingy keeps spinning around in the Settings menu? Is this drawing unnecessary juice from the battery? Anyone else's doing this?

    I've seen that too. I think its because when you are in the Bluetooth Settings window, the phone is in discovery mode actively looking for new devices to pair with. (Kind of like an electronic mating season... the phone is hornee when in that screen.)
    Once you are back to normal screens, the bluetooth is always active, but not as actively as when in discovery mode.
    My 2 cents worth. Only a slightly educated supposition. Nothing else to back it up.

  • Why does the "fix" for firefox copying and pasting not work?

    I did the fix a few times and restarted firefox, with no success. Also, I installed the latest version of firefox and it is slower now. I have to use firefox for school, otherwise I would just find another way.

    In what way is Firefox slow?
    Is this all the time or only with loading web pages?
    What kind of fix do you mean with: ''Why does the "fix" for firefox copying and pasting not work'' ?

  • Why does the shockwave player keep crashing when I play farmville 2 on both the facebook and zynga websites?

    I play farmville 2 on both the zynga and facebook websites. My shockwave player keeps crashing and is a very slow to load the game. This happens on all of the browsers I have used. Google chrome works better than some, firefox, icedragon and IE all are very slow to load the game and this take a lot of enjoyment out of the actual game play.  Please help figure this out. I even keep clearing the cache and history, this does not help out much either.

    Please ask your question on a forum for the Flash Player

  • HT1438 i keep getting SIM locked message on my iphone 4s and I need to unlock it please please can someone help me? The voice activation is on and when I type in what I think is the code It wont even put in the numbers

    I am trying to unlock my SIM from my iphone 4s, as I am getting a mesage SIM locked. How do I unlock this?Also I am typing in what I think my code is and it is not working. The voice activation wil not allow me to type in the numbers for some reason. I have turned it off and on about 7 times now. please please please can someone help me?

    If you bought the iphone in the US and it is locked to a specific carrier, then you can't use a different sim (from another carrier).  Is this your situation?
    Otherwise I'm not sure what you mean by "trying to unlock my SIM".  In which country did you buy the iphone?  Who's your carrier?

  • Why does the select tool stop working and images save with areas missing?

    I have been working on an image using simple tools (only select, crop and scale) and no more than 4 layers.
    The quick selection tool, magic wand tool and polygonal lasso tools are not selecting simple areas. They leave square sections unselected, and eventually I can't select anything on my canvas. The paint tool also does not work. I decided to save the image I had made even though it was unfinished, and upon reopening the file (a PSD) there were square transparent areas that were not there when I saved it (see image)
    This is what I've tried:
    I work on the layer selected
    I have reset all the tool settings back to the default ones
    I have reset the program preferences back to default settings
    The Photoshop CC software is up to date
    I have turned the program and my computer on and off again
    Can someone please help?

    Is the damage actual or only display (are the layers complete according to their previews in the Layers Panel)?
    Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?
    What have you done for trouble-shooting so far? (Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved mis usually a good starting point):

    I can't figure out what the ek942a3cc9 is. Is this a virus?
    Highly unlikely.
    The likeliest explanation is that it's a Remembrance of Things Past… That is, it's a server on a network to which you connected at some time in the past -- at the office, at Starbucks, at the airport, whatever. The OS kept it in a cache just in case you might re-connect. If you don't switch networks often, it can stay there for some time.
    In the Sidebar, do you see an Eject button (⏏) to its right? If yes, click it, and it shouldn't re-appear. It might also help to go to Finder > Connect to Server… and, from the Recent Servers menu (identified by a clock icon), choose Clear Recent Servers…

  • Why does the quality reduce when dragging and dropping from photoshop?

    Hi there
    Basically ive got a layout in keynote and when i drag layers into keynote, they appear on the keynote layout however the quality goes all crappy....is there no way of sorting this out, or is it just how it works? when doing layouts do most people save the individual layers out as png files and then import individually into keynote and align them with the original layout? i do this currently but it is slightly time consuming.
    thanks alot in advance

  • Why does the download list keep emptying?

    I have set the preference to empty the download list manually. And it used to work fine until a few weeks ago. But now, every time I close Safari, the download list empties and the download button disappears, until the next time I download something
    Why is this happening, and what can I do about it? I definitely want the items to remain in the list until I remove them, and I'm sure that I have set the preference correctly.

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Safari/Downloads.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Show Info
    from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
    Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
    In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
    What is the Modified date?
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

  • Why does the same collection keep doing soft pulls on my credit

    I have 2 soft pulls from the same collection. I don't want to call them and they are located in florida. I am located in CT. most of my previous collections were either from NY or CT. why don't they just call or mail me the bill to my house. I am also afraid to call because since they are doing soft pulls it might be a huge bill. The dates of the soft pulls are in Sept 2013 and Dec 2014. All this info came from annual credit report .com

    Portfolio Recovery has been doing soft pulls on me at least 3-4 times a year for a debt from 2002(way outside the SOL.)  I'm not too concerned.  About once a quarter, they send me a settlement letter and I usually get a phone call every 6 months.  I've contemplated a couple times about settling with them (it's only $120ish) but then I think back to all the illegal crap they pulled and harassment I endured and just decided to say screw it.  Since it's out of the SOL, there isn't much they can do.  They can keep doing soft pulls and sending letters and I can keep putting them in the shred pile.Portfolio started soft pulling my file in May when I applied for a few cards. Since that date they soft pulled me almost every other day for two weeks straight. The last time I pulled a full report they were still doing soft pulls, though not as frequently. I haven't dealt with PRA in many years and panicked at first. But I have received no phone calls and no letters. So, I'll just let it be for now I guess. I have no collections. I honestly don't know what accounts they are collecting on. I find it annoying so perhaps I'll contact them at some point.

  • BB 9860 torch wont unlock pressing button and when it does the screen just keeps flickering

    Hiya, i wonder if this is a common problem or its just my phone
    I recently bought a BB torch 9860, it was working fine but now when the screen locks, when i press the unlock button on the top of the phone it does nothing and just says "Screen is locked, press the lock button to unlock" and all the screen does is lights up then goes off in like a flickering manner
    obviously it shouldnt do this
    When i take out the battery and put it back in the screen loads fine as normal (no flicker) but once its back on the home screen i just get this annoying lock problem and a flickering screen
    Any help or information would be appreciated
    Thanks dwain

    Yes, it's normal behavior for the Voiceover function.
    It's designed for the visually impaired.  If it helps, try using your iPhone with your eyes closed.  With the first tap, VO begins to read what is on the screen. When you hear the item that you want to select, tap the screen (anywhere) a second time.
