Problems installing Tiger on G3

I am having troubles installing OS X (10.4) on our G3 Desktop (Blue and White). The G3 has almost all original hardware, including built on firewire. Things added were a DVD Drive from a G4. It meets all the required specs for Tiger. It has all the latest updates and firmware upgrades. And the version I am trying to install is a generic OS X Tiger Installation Disk, for multiple computers.
When inserting the DVD on bootup, the display never comes out of powersave mode. If I start the system without the DVD in the drive, it boots into OS 9.2.2 just fine. Then if I insert the disc it pulls up the contents, I click on the installer and it says click Restart to begin the installation. Again it tries to boot but nothing ever shows up on the screen. I can hear the DVD drive spinning up about 30 seconds after restart, but nothing ever happens.
I've tried holding 'C', I've tried selecting it as a startup disk from within OS 9. I've even tried to install over the network, but everytime it tries to bootup the installation, the screen never gets a signal.
If you can please give me some suggestions I would really appreciate it!
G3 Desktop Mac OS 9.2.x

Problems installing Tiger on the Beige G3

I have a rev A Beige G3 with a sonnet 500MHz G4 upgrade, a pioneer DVD RW drive and the original 6gb hard drive.
I am trying to install tiger, but I'm having problems. I can insert the disk and it will show up fine on the OS9.2 desktop, but when I launch XPostFacto 4.1, it says that the symbolic links to /etc, /tmp and /var and missing or damaged. But the DVD works fine in OSX 10.0 on the beige, and in 10.4 on a Sawtooth.
I would have tried using Jaguar to run XPostFacto, but I have too many problems with the monitor switching off during the installation, so I decided not to bother.
Does anyone know what I should do?
Thanks
Steve

i got tiger running almost 100% but not quite cause tiger refuses to work right with my pioneer dvr-110D. other than that tiger is running great. i had to do the video black out fix for 10.2.8 for tiger cause tiger would do the same thing.
sorry for not having a quick link to the fix cause im on my other Beige G3 AIO and i dont have it bookmarked.
what i did was get tiger 10.4 installed, then proformed the fix and rebooted and the onboard video didnt come on. this is where a second video card comes in handy ( wich i have a Radeon 7000 i use as main screen. then i installed the 10.4.7 update and rebooted and the onboard video started to work again and all has been well since with the video.
now the pioneer DVR-110D drive didnt work hardly at all in 10.4 or 10.4.7 it would not mount unless i booted with a disk in the drive. but still then even tho it was mounted it would not work or play dvd movies or audio cd's or burn disk's.
i updated to 10.4.8 and the drive will still not mount unless i boot with a disk in the drive. but when a disk is mounted it will play dvd movies and audio cd's but it still wont burn disk's ( some times it will burn half way but fail) and some times will stop working during dvd movie playback and audio cd playback.
now in OS 9.2.2 with the modded Pioneercdr authoring extention i can burn disk's with iTunes and the built in burn program. and will burn flawlessly with toast titanium. the drive also worked great in OS X 10.2.- 10.2.8 and have burn ability with patchburn installed
tiger on the other hand will not play nice with my drive. but other than that tiger run's great on my system. the spec's of my system are in my sig

Problems installing Tiger onto G3 Imac - please help!

hi all.
i've tried to install tiger onto a g3 imac but i'm having some problems.
basically, once i've inserted the install dvd and restarted, the screen is either totally blank or it's very very dark and the desktop is sliding off to one side, plus the text and icons are blurred.
i checked that i didn't need to update the firmware first, and the computer said that i didn't need to.
does anyone have any idea what i can do? i don't have the original OS9 install disk any more and i'm starting to panic ...
thanks in advance

Jon,
Not to be silly but do you you have DVD capabilities? Not all G3s (mine included) have DVD drives. Is the firmware 4.1.9? What is your machines specs? Do you have enough ram, hard disk space?
I haven't read about these types of going ons, however on the Tiger OS X.4 discussion board Gulliver has an excellent check list/ decision tree.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607363
You may want to check that out as well as reposting your topic on the Tiger board.
Sorry I couldn't help more than possibly pointing you in the right direction.
Good luck,
Lee

Problems installing Tiger on 700mhz iMac

Hi - I think I have the answer, but wanted to double check with the forum experts!
I have a. I'm trying to install Tiger (that came with the next generation iMac), but when it starts up from the Tiger install disk (using external DVD drive), I get the "screen of death" (ie: black screen with giberish and a gray circle in the center).
I take it that my copy of Tiger is not retail and specific to my newer mac only? And that is why I'm getting this message?
Are there any copies to purchase for my older iMac? Thanks in advance for any help!
Mike

Hi jt202,
This forum is specifically for advice on the old G4 (Flat Panel) iMacs. Your problem seems to be related to using the iPhone. I suggest you repost in the iPhone forums.
EDIT: I see you already have.

Problems installing tiger on old mini

I have a old G4 1.25 mini which I have upgraded the RAM from 250 to 1 GB (third party RAM) . Have tried to install tiger (disk from my imac G5) and been unsuccessful. I have done some research and found information that states if you have installed 3rd party RAM future upgrades of OS maybe unsuccessful.
I have read some other posts that have stated if you use "apple store" bought tiger or leopard it should install no problem. I haven't purchased anything yet as I dont want to waste my money.
Does anybody know if I will be able to install tiger or leopard if I buy it from the apple store? Please help because now i cant even get my hotmail account to work on 10.3.9!

The machine-specific OS X disks won't load on another system, as you've found out. You need the store/Apple bought version.
All RAM is 3rd party RAM, as Apple doesn't manufacture their own memory. They do use Crucial/Micron and Samsung, amongst others. What's important is the quality of the RAM ... sometimes el cheapo RAM, while meeting the Apple specs, may not work so well.

Problems installing Tiger on G4 mirror

Hi,
I wonder if anyone may be able to shed some light on this:
I recently bought a Tiger install dvd from a Apple re-seller, attempted to install but about quarter of the way through the installation i got a message to the effect of 'Installation can't continue. Please restart'.
As instructed, i restarted but got a message that included the text - 'Kernel Panic. Panic: We are hanging here....'.
I powered down, retrieved the dvd (which had a few marks on it) and then copied it to a blank dvd (on my pc), thinking it was a physical problem with the dvd.
After restarting (holding down 'c'), i re-installed via the new disc without any problems.... until the machine restarted to finish the installation.
Now, it gets as far as the grey, rectangular progress box (titled 'Mac OS X') but nothing else happens. No blue blocks on the progress bar or any text.
I've tried restarting after removing the following peripherals but i can't get past the 'Mac OS X' screen.
2 Gb ram (4 x 512Mb strips, brand new Kingston)
ATI Radeon 7000 video card
Motu PCI 424 soundcard
USB hub (and attached peripherals)
All firewire equipment.
Any help would be massively appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
Jason.

i had that same problem when installing 10.2 on my iBook, but it installed fully and then it gave me the kernal panic. i had a GameDr laying around and used it on the install disk and it worked just fine. try that. i think they still sell them. i got mine about 5 years ago. heres one in the UK http://www.ciao.co.uk/GameDrGame_Doctor_5330080

Install Tiger 10.4 on a Pismo

I've read a few posts here about problems installing Tiger on a Pismo, which fails and ends up with kernel panics. I've had a few problems like this in the past.
What I've found in my experience is that most of the trouble stems from having more than 512MB of memory installed. From what I've read online, the problem here is that 512MB modules weren't available when the Pismo came out, which means that only 2 x 256MB was the maximum memory. Installing more than 512MB seems to cause problems or conflicts when installing 10.4.
This may not be the case for everyone, but I've seen this problem on 5 different Pismos over the years. So what I've done on my own Pismo and on a few friends' Pismos is that, when you want to install Tiger 10.4, be sure to have no more than 512MB installed; please note that a single 512MB module works fine. You can then install Tiger and, after you're up and running okay, you can then re-install the 512MB module. This way, I know of 5 Pismos running 10.4.11 with 1GB of memory (2 x 512MB) and they work great.
Still love the old Pismo, great for writing and the web on the go (with internal Airport or Airport Extreme-compatible PCMCIA card), great for watching DVDs, really rugged, great keyboard, and you probably don't have to worry as much about someone stealing it, as you would with a Macbook Air.

Yes, it's a bit strange. I think I remember reading this somewhere on the web years ago, and when I and a few others had the aforementioned problem - i.e., attempt to install Tiger ended up with a failed install and kernel panics - I remembered the solution about having only 512MB installed, which did indeed work. On no less than 5 different Pismos over the years.
I mentioned this only because I read another thread here about someone having similar problems, but the thread had been closed, so I started a new one, in the hope it might help others.
The interesting thing is that, once Tiger installs okay, you can reinstall the second RAM module and not have any problems. I went up to 1GB of RAM and have updated Tiger to 10.4.11, which runs very well on the G3/500 Pismo. I installed a faster HD with 7200 rpm and it all runs pretty quick. Other upgrades include a DVD burner and a PCMCIA card that is recognized by the OS as an Airport Extreme card, so needs no 3rd party drivers (the card is a Motorola WN 825G). Also have a Belkin USB Bluetooth key, which is recognized by the OS as an Apple Bluetooth card, but I don't use it much.
All in all, the Pismo still runs great.

Installing Tiger on MacBook Pro. . . Problems. . .

Hi,
Im trying to install Tiger on my MacBook Pro. Im having a lot of problems and ive decided to reinstall everything. As i bought this second hand, it did not come with any CDs/DVDs and documentation. Its running Tiger OSX 10.4.11 at the moment and i will not let me restart from the DVD disc or open the application. It says that i cannot install Tiger on this computer.
Does anyone have any ideas on how i can do this?
Thanks, Ben

You will need to get the original system DVDs that came w/the comp from the person you brought it from. The person should NOT have sold you the computer without them which violates Apple's Agreement.
Until you get the system DVDs all you have is a glorified doorstop.
You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those -

Problem updating newly installed Tiger (upgrading from 10.3.9)

Hi,
I'm having troubles updating my newly installed Tiger (10.4.3) to the newest version of it.
I tried Software Update but after checking it says that I have the newest available software (which is not true), and when trying updating from the combo updates available at Apple website, I get the following screen:
http://kaarlows.sites.uol.com.br/Fotos/update.jpg
I've downloaded all combos, starting from 10.4.8 version until 10.4.4 one (which is the one I took the screenshot above), and all of them show the same error.
I've already restarted the computer, repaired permissions, disconnected my external drives, and still couldn't update my operating system.
I upgraded from Panther, version 10.3.9, using the option of “upgrade” with the Tiger installation DVD.
Could somebody help me out here?
Thanks;

Did you run Disk First Aid repair on your boot volume
with Disk First Aid repair via Disk Utility when
booted from the Tiger install disc before proceeding
with the installation and were all external
peripheral devices except for a keyboard and mouse
disconnected during the install?
No, I didn't, and my external USB hard drive was connected to the Mac when I was updating.
If no problems were reported by DFA repair, this
probably won't make any difference but if there were
problems reported that were successfully repaired, it
might.
Beside repairing disk, I also repaired permissions once again, and there were no problems reported.
I restarted the computer, and still software update continued to say that I was up-to-date and the update combos I downloaded all showed the same error message from the screenshot above.
Will I need to reinstall again Tiger? And will the option Archive and Install work even if I'm reinstalling again the same system?
Thanks for the fast reply,

Hi macmanjon;
What is the URL of this web site?
It sounds like they sold you a model specific set of install media that is not compatable with your hardware. I would try and see iuf you can get your money back.

Problems booti and install Tiger on a G4 running 9.2.2 from an external DVD

G4 PCI powermac, just a cd drive built in, running 9.2, sees external iomega dvd drive, reads dvds, cds, but when I try loading tiger from a dvd there are problems.
I puu the tiger disc in, click on install, then get a message that startup disc cannot set this drive as the startup disc (or similar). Restarting and holding the c key doesn't work- I get blinking question mark and have to disconnect the iomega drive, put the 9.2 cd in the internal drive and restart again holding down c key to get anything. Then, running from the cd I can reset the startup disc to the hard drive. Neither can I install tiger running 9.2 from the internal cd, with the tiger DVD in the Iomega drive- it sees it, but requires that the tiger install disc be the startup drive, and we go around again if I try that.
Q- is this possible, ie to load tiger on a PCI 400mhz powermac from an external DVD drive? has anyone done it? how?
Thank you.
by the way, PCI 400mhz powermac- doesn't need firmware updating, can't be put into target mode, can't boot from a firewire device (and I have tried, just in case)

Joe, thank you very much for your post. The PCI G4 won't boot from an external USB dvd drive. Part of the apple support site says it will, another part says it won't. It won't. And it's well documented that the PCI G4 won't boot from a firewire device, neither can one put it into target mode.
The method Joe suggests does work. I arrived at it independantly, with this method- I ran 9.2 from a CD and partitioned the internal hard drive 10GB dive, ended up with two 5GB partitions. then installed 9.2 on one partition.
Restarted and I'm running 9.2.
Then copied the Tiger install dvd from an external dvd rom, just a normal drag n drop copy, while running 9.2 (you can't do this under OS X) Then set the startup disc as the partition with the OS X install files on it.
(I copied the Tiger files ontot he partition that wasn't running 9.2)
Pressed restart, a long wait and then it sprang into life and installed OSX on the other partition, but without asking if I wanted a clean install- it just installed it alongside the 9.2 system folder.
I had to specify no extras, it prompted for that, via a message that said free space was tight.
All went well and it's running 10.4.4
Problems that have arisen- 1. won't update the system. Downloads the files via software update, then says it can't use them. The update dmg files from the apple site won't work either.
2. won't shut down properly- goes to a blue screen, then stays there- I have to unplug it every time.
Otherwise ok.
prior to working this out out, I visited the local apple store- no cd copies of tiger, exchange program withdrawn. Suggested I call apple. Did so, was directed to technical support. Technical support, very nice guy but knew zero about this.
this is really a bit of fun for me, I have other macs, so no worries, but if anyone has a copy of Tiger on CD, I'd really like to borrow it.
Thanks everyone
Mike

Myriad of problems since attempting to install Tiger

Some time ago I tried to install Tiger and got the messge the disc was damaged. I went back to Apple and they tried to install their copy and in the process my iPhoto got all fouled up. They recovered the library (somewhat) and we decided not to install Tiger until I backed up my machine. Some time later I brought my external drive in and we backed up the user and then tried to rebuild the iPhoto library. By the time I had to leave, my iPhoto was still showing white thumbnails on 30% of my library. I tried to rebuild it yesterday and like the previous time, iPhoto quite unexpectedly. See my posted question at iPhoto4 - Tried rebuilding iPhoto library twice, both time iPhoto "unexpectedly quit"
Just got back from the Apple store and their solution to the iPhoto issue agreed with Brie Fly's post of:
Move the two recent rebuild attempts from Pictures to the trash. Temporarily move your original iPhoto Library folder to the desktop. Start iPhoto and choose "Create New..." from the dialog. Quit iPhoto.
Drag the iPhoto Library folder from the desktop, and drop it inside the newly created iPhoto Library folder in Pictures (put it inside; don't replace).
Now start iPhoto again while holding the shift+option keys to try another rebuild.
The Genius folks at the Apple store suggested that I also Archive and Install to see if I have a corrupt user file. I decided to back up my user first and this is where I got....
Dragged user to desktop icon of external drive, while it was "preparing to copy" it stopped with the message:
"One or more items have special permissions and cannot be copied. Do you want to skip them?" I'd expect one of the choices to be "Yes" but curiously the two choices were "Stop" and "Replace". (symantics!) I chose "Replace" and almost immediately I got the message:
"The operation cannot be completed because the item "Installer" is locked." I then click the only button offered, "Ok was the only choice to click upon doing so the operation is ceased.
I didn't know the Installer could be locked, how it became that way nor how to unlock it!

Wow, has this stumped the experts?

Problem re installing tiger

I am in the middle of reinstaling tiger on my computer. Disk 1 installed fine. I put in disk 2 when it asked me and it says "preparing for installation, installing garadge band app" then stops. the installer window closes leaving just a blue screen and then starts again. It does this over and over again. I cannot quit, force quit the os x installer or do any thing. If i remove disk 2 it asks for it again. If I restart the computer it just starts trying to install tiger again.
HELP!!
iBook G4

Apparently, something got hosed when installing the stuff from disk 1. Shut the machine down, restart holding down the mouse. That should eject any disk, insert disk 1, holding down the C key, and when the installer boots to the select your language screen, select it, and click on the OK/Continue button. When the next page loads, select Utilities->Disk Utility->select your HD and erase/reformat it (Mac OS X Extended), quit Disk Utility, and continue the reinstall.
If that fails again, then shutdown the machine, restart, holding down the CMDOPT+PR keys until you get at least three bongs (zaps the PRAM), and repeat the earlier steps.

10.6.8 update combined - problems installing

Hi all,
Currently having huge problems installing this update on my mac, have been trying for a couple of days now to get this machine back up and running again after I was told by the genius bar 2 years ago that after them spending nearly 900 pounds on new parts, that they "had no idea what the problem was, but could be something to do with the logic board". I finally decided to sell it, but as a parts and repair it will get £100 and fully working it could get a bit more, so it's in my interest to get it up and running again.
I am by no means a computer expert, but I know a few things and can normally sort problems out by just simply using search, but alas I have finally been beaten, and have come here to ask for some assistance.
After re-installing my macbook pro 3,1 (mid 2007) with it's original 10.4 tiger software probably 5 times before it worked, then moving on to 10.6 snow leopard which also took a couple of attempts, I am now completely stuck with no way to get this machine up to 10.6.8, so that I can make the jump to mountain lion. The software update program is either an absolute heap of dung, or my computer just won't have any of it. I have tried multiple solutions which I will list below:
Using software update to install the 10.6.8 combined update - Failed
Downloading the 10.6.8 combined update from apple support downloads - Failed
Deleting the library/preferencecom.apple.softwareupdate etc. files - Still software update Failed
Downloading 10.6.1 update and installing - Success after a few attempts
Downloading 10.6.8 combined and trying again - Failed
Downloading 10.6.2 update and installing - Failed
Now this is where I am at. I have downloaded these files both on the macbook pro itself, and on my windows laptop - then transfering them across. I have never been more frustrated at a computer in my entire life, and am about 20 minutes away from throwing this laptop out of the window onto a poor bystander below. If anyone has any solution - (and don't say reformat and reinstall the OS - I've already tried that), then it would be greatly appreciated!
I'll post the console message from my last install of just the 10.6.8 combined upate (without using software update) and if someone on here who can make sense of these messages can see a problem or offer a solution, then that would also be greatly appreciated, thanks!

There really shouldn't be any problem downloading that combo update unless you've got a very slow or flaky connection. And Windows doesn't play as well with Mac files as the Mac does with Windows files; who knows what Windows might have done to the update's file integrity.
You might also try downloading the file using another browser such as Firefox. And when you have the updater, reboot into Safe Mode and then run the updater. That way you can be sure there isn't third party software somehow interfering with the update while it's tinkering with the guts of OS X.

How to properly clean install: erase, partition hard drive, and install tiger then SL

Hello,
     I am a noob at this, so if responders would be kind enough to be detailed / specific with any instructions it would be most helpful! I own a dinosaur apparently (even though I don't think so): the white (not unibody) Intel macbook2,1 (late 2006) 1.83 GHz with currently 1GB of RAM, but I have 2x2GB RAM sitting next to me ready for install. However, first I would like to do a clean uninstall of my computer (running OS X 10.6.8 SL). I also would like to properly partition my hard drive while I'm at it.
     About 6 months ago I had serious crashing issues, along with kernel panics, hangs, applications randomly appearing & disappearing, system settings and options doing the same, fans running high (probably due to the low RAM available), and basically overall screwiness. So, after trying pretty much every option I could find on this community...and many others... (e.g. clean cache, clean old logs, already did a clean uninstall and install of SL, and much much more) I have reached my wits end. I would say that to date I've wasted a good solid 2 months with this.
     The clean install worked for MAYBE a month or so, but then it started acting up again with the fans (even without high pages in/out, CPU or memory usage) and excessive heat, along with the apps freezing and quitting (mind you it would be only two things open such as 1 word document and then firefox-- with flash disabeled). SOOOOOO long story short, I have purchased new RAM and I would like to try this once again, but to ensure I don't screw it up this time I would like some directions as to how to do the uninstall, partition, then reinstall. (currently to date I ensured all updates are completed---even though they are no longer released for SL, and I just did a full backup).
     Also, I need to first install Tiger (my original OS) as when I went to do a hardware test the other day this was not an option (and upon further research it is due to me not using Tiger as a first install and then using my mac box set for SL). I didn't use my original OS first because....one issue encountered when I had tried to install Tiger was that my Disc 2 (the applications one) took around 1.5 hrs to complete, but when I reached the last step of glory where I expected it to say COMPLETE it instead said that there was some sort of issue with the disc..........of course).
     Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1: If near a Apple Store or Authorized Repair, take it to then for a free evaluation, it might have other hardware problems now that it would be a waste of effort even continuing.
2: The RAM needs to be
Maximum Memory
3.0 GB (Actual) 2.0 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM
Basically what this means is you can put in a 2GB module and a 1GB module for 3GB total.
I wouldn't proceed with installing RAM just yet, not until you get a stable OS X version on the machine, you might have a hard drive needing to be replaced as well which you can do while inserting new RAM.
3: This User Tip can assist in installing 10.6 Snow Leopard, partition format etc.
How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
Software Update fully immediately after setup.
There is no need to install Tiger, he 10.6 disk contains the full 10.6 version, you can either install the iLife from Tiger disks or use Pacifist from Charlesoft to extract them and place on your new install, then Software update to get them current.
4: If not successful then the drive also likely needs to be replaced, if so choose a 7,200 RPM SATA I w/1.5Gb/s connection.
Install/upgrade RAM or storage drive in Mac's
Repeat #3
If your getting beeping noises or "you need to restart" issues, it's likely one or more of the RAM modules is bad. Have it exchanged or swapped.
I advise good quality RAM the first time, if you buy cheap stuff it's just going back.
Don't go any further than 10.6.8 with that old machine, the performance will be terrible.
