Retail version of tiger vs version that comes with your mac

what is the difference between the two? are the disks that come with the mac specificly made for a certain mac meaning like drivers etc. im interested cause i wanted to take tiger of my laptop and put it on my powermac and taking panther off my powermac and putting it on my laptop. that way there wouldnt be the same version on more than one computer which should be ok with the liscense agreement

Hi DigitalBoy, and Welcome to "Discussions"!
scb's information is not accurate.
Using OS X Install CDs/DVDs On Multiple Macs
The question of using system/software install CDs/DVDs on more than one machine is frequently asked.
So, FYI:
System software installation CDs/DVDs, that come with a particular Mac model, are HARDWARE/DRIVER SPECIFIC to that model, and not intended to be used on other Mac models. For instance, the CDs/DVDs that are shipped with an iMac are not to be used on an iBook or eMac.
And the "Tiger" DVDs that are shipped with any new Mac, also are not to be used on other Mac models.
If such an installation were possible, or somehow accomplished successfully, that action would constitute a violation of your license agreement, which limits installation to a single computer.
The "Single User Software License Agreement" can be found here Software License Agreement.
Similarly, any "Upgrade" CDs/DVDs for a particular Mac OS will ONLY work for that Mac & system. For example, if a new Mac that shipped with Jaguar/Panther, was purchased shortly before the release of Panther/Tiger, the user may have purchased "Upgrade" CDs/DVDs, for a lesser price than the full install set. These CDs/DVDs do not contain all of the necessary components for an independent installation of Panther or Tiger.
The license agreement applies to single user retail versions of system software. The "Panther" or "Tiger" boxed set, for example.

  • What is the text editor that comes with a Mac?

    What is the text editor that comes with a Mac? My daughter purchased a new MacBook Pro. She wants to move her iTunes from the old Windows XP system to OSX. One of the ways I have found to do this is to move theXML Library from XP toi OSX and edit it. The XP version has the drive letter paths and that is different in OSX. If I knew what editor was available, then I could do a mass change of the old path to the new one. Any editor suggestions?

    Hi motero,
    TextEdit is essentially a word processor. You can find detailed information about it [here|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2523].
    Moving an iTunes library from one computer (PC or Mac) to another is very easy and can be done in a number of different ways. You should read the articles [here|http://www.apple.com/support/itunes> and decide which method is best for you.
    Thanks,

  • I just bought a 15" macbook pro, do the cds that come with the mac have the drivers i need to update windows after installing windows using boot camp?

    What DVDs are this ?
    If it is OSX Snow Leopard Installation DVD then yes this disc contains the BootCamp Drivers version 3.x and is needed after the installation of Windows to install the BootCamp Drivers.
    With OSX Lion BootCamp is at version 4.x and the BootCamp Drivers have to be downloaded during use of the BootCamp Assistant in OSX.

  • Tuxera Version That Comes with HDTC705XK3​A1 Does Not Support on Install on MAC OSX 10.9.2

    The Tuxera version pre-installed (2012.3.6) on my hard drive does not support Mac OS X 10.9.2
    I first looked at the support site and it says there isn't any updates for drivers & software for the Toshiba 500GB Canvio Connect Portable Hard Drive (HDTC705XK3A).
    I am on OSX 10.9.2 and would like a working copy of Tuxera to use with my new Toshiba drive.  Please advise where I get the updated version.  Going to Tuxera requires buying a copy of the software.
    Thanks,
    Doug

    I have the same problem after an upgrade to my iMac.  Fortunitely, a wWindows machine will read your drive.  I also have a new Macbook Pro with 10.9.3 on it and it loaded Tuxera correctly. Not sure why it works on one not the other.  I wnet through the following steps:
    After I upgraded my iMAC to Maverics, I could not see my NTFS drives in finder or on the desktop. I could see my NTFS drives in Disk Utility but they were grayed out and are not accessible. I could boot the iMac in Windows and have access to all of my NTFS drives.
    I tried reinstalling the latest version, 2013.2, downloaded from your web page. I can see my NTFS drives but could not write to them. I then got the following message when the system started up, "invalid product key". When I opened Tuxera from the system preferences page I get the following message on the Activation page, "Current status: Invalid product key. Limited performance mode." I have tried reloading Texura from the Toshiba drive, but the process doesn't complete the last step.
    As a last step, I uninstalled Tuxera and can not reinstall it. I get the message "The Tuxera NTFS for Mac installer could not detect your Toshiba External HDD. Please attach it to your Mac and run the installer again. I'm running the installer from the Toshiba drive so the installer should detect it.
    Please note, I have a new Macbook Pro that came with Mavericks and I loaded Tuxera from the same Toshiba drive. It has no problems writing to it. The upgrade to Mavericks caused the problem.

  • HT4480 I cannot find my information or code that comes with new MAC boo pro. How do I find it? I did not know what all that was about and how to use it.

    I purchased my new Mac Book Pro 13 inch last Fall 2011. I started using the book in March 2012. I am new users of the Mac book and apple world. How do I obtain $100 ITune credit I was sent with my mac book. It does not show up with the purchase. I did not know exactly what it was and what to do with it. Now I am getting ready to buy some applications using Itunes I could use the credit.

    Try going to the APPLE in the upper left of the screen and click on it , you will get a drop down with several choices , click on about this mac and you will get a pop up with description of your Mac system , click on the more info tab and you will see a complete listing of you system.
    To redeem your ITunes card
    open ITunes and click on ITunes Store,if you do not have an apple id yo will need to create one, look for a tab that says redeem and click on it you will be prompted to enter the code on the back of the card , follow instructions and you should be good to go.

  • What's that power cord like cable that comes with your macbook pro??

    I have no idea what this cable is for? It doesn't fit in the laptop...does anybody know?

    No, the localised adapter on the corner (of the MagSafe adapter) slips off and then the power cord you have slips on in place of it, the picture captfred posted really helps identify this. The magnetic end doesn't change.

  • I have the version of iPhoto that comes with my OS when I purchased my MacBook, but now I can't open it, because it says this, "You can't open the application "iPhoto" because it may be damaged or incomplete. Please help I have tons of family photos.

    I have the version of iPhoto that comes with my OS when I purchased my MacBook, but now I can't open it, because it says this, "You can’t open the application “iPhoto” because it may be damaged or incomplete. Please help I have tons of family photos.

    1 - the iPhoto application is an application and does not hole your photos - your photos are in the iPhoto library an dour normal daily backup will back them up so your photos are safe
    2 - what exactly does the error message say? You probably need to reinstall the iPhoto application form the original source
    3 - note that no version of iPhoto comes with any OS - iPhoto comes with all new Macs but not with any OS and most OS versions can run many different versions of iPhoto

  • What is the version of APEX that comes with DB 11.2.0.2?

    What is the version of APEX that comes with DB 11.2.0.2? Is it 4.0?
    Where can I confirm this, is there a list of DB features and versions for 11.2.0.2?
    Am I correct in thinking there currently a patch for Apex 4.0.2.?
    Thanks
    Will

    Hi Will,
    I believe APEX 3.2 is still shipped with Oracle 11g but I could be wrong.
    All the documentation regarding 11g r2 can be found at:

  • Why doesn't the version of Notepad that comes with Java work?

    Something is wrong with the version of Notepad that comes with the j2sdk1.4.2. When I click on my desktop icon I get "Java Webstart Application Manager". I highlight "Notepad App" and continue. Notepad opens up I type in my code. Then I click on "Save" and choose my Java folder to save the file. Now at the bottom it says "Files of type... and it seems to me I should be able to save the file as type Java. But all it says is "all files." When I look in my Java folder the file is there but it just says type "file". Isn't it supposed to be saved as a "Java" file?
    And I still can't invoke the compiler at the command line nor run my program. But I'm going to try it again.

    A java file is a test file with a .java extension. There is nothing special about it.
    If you want an editor try eclipse, this edits,compiles,runs,debugs, refactors and much more.
