Running panther, installing Jaguar. How do I proceed?

HI all,
this is my first post.
So, did the subject line generate a chuckle from those in-the-know?
Recently, I bought my wife a Nano, which apparently is not compatible with Panther. No problem, I thought. I'll just upgrade to Jaguar. Well, I've ordered the software. And now after reading much about this topic, I think I may be in trouble.
My machine is a Powerbook G4, so I think I'm ok so far.
BTW, I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to computers, so I may have bitten off more than I can chew.
Any comments or observations, anyone?
Thanks
Greg

Your Powerbook G4 must be at least 867 MHz. If it is not, Leopard won't install.
If it is, plug in the DVD, run the installer, under the options, choose an archive and install and preserve user and network settings. You also may want to choose customize and remove and printer drivers and languages you don't use.

Contact Apple (call AppleCare) and for a nominal fee the discs will be replaced. You can do that or purchase Snow Leopard (still availble from Apple for $20) and do an erase and install of OS X making the machine like a new machine.

Have the program installed on only one computer.

Download the Adobe Licensing Repair Tool.
Run the License Service Update.
Mac OS X 10.7 and above:
a. Double-click the LicenseRecovery111.dmg It will extract the folder. Open the folder.
b. Double-click your Hard Drive.
c. Double-click Applications.
d. Double-click Utilities.
e. Double-click Terminal.
f. Type sudo python
Note: There is a space following “python”. Do not press Return.
g. Drag LicenseRecover.py from the LicenseRecovery111 folder onto the Terminal Window and press Return.
It should look like this:
h. Enter your administrator user name and password when prompted and click OK.
(Note: the cursor will not move and you will not see stars or dots, just enter your password anyway.
i. Let the script run, it will tell you when it is finished. Quit terminal and restart Photoshop

I had previously purchased the programs "Pages" and "Numbers" and they are on my iPhone and iPad I was told that the programs would automatically copy a version of itself for the iMac to be running them but I don't see it installed. How can I install them

I had previously purchased the programs "Pages" and "Numbers" and they are on my iPhone and iPad I was told that the programs would automatically copy a version of itself for the iMac to be running them but I don't see it installed. How can I install for free? I see that I could go to the apple store and purchase them again but I belibve that since I had already purchased them; I would get a free copy for my Imac. Do I got something confused here? Please help.

Whoever told you that was misinformed or lying. Those applications are sold separately for the iOS platform and the Mac platform.
Go to the Mac App Store to purchase Pages and Numbers for your Mac. They're $20 each. If you are running an older version of Mac OS X that can't use the Mac App Store, you can purchase install media from Apple.

You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

I need to re-install Photoshop CC and Lighroom as a paid subscriber --- how do I proceed?

Hello,
I am a paid subscriber to Photoshop CC (the subscription includes LightRoom). Because of a problem with the hard drive on my iMac which required reformatting, I no longer have access to either software.
How do I proceed so that I can continue my subscription?
Thanks,

You can go ahead and download the products as the same way you have downlaoded first time.

I have had this problem for close to a year. I have an Extreme base station, two Airport Express's and multiple G4 Mac's with up to date software. I have spent a huge amount of time trouble shooting, resetting, reapplying software and finally calling Applecare without any help. It would be great to get this problem solved.

Pismo running Panther won't mount retail install disk

I'm appealing to the vast wisdom of the collective--cuz, man, I'm stumped...
I just inherited a Pismo, which is currently running Panther 10.3.8. I don't have the original disks that came with it. I DO have a retail version of Panther, which I purchased for my G4 desktop.
What I want to do is do a clean install of Panther on the Pismo's current hard drive (get rid of all old files & get it ready to sell), plus I've got a new hard drive on order, which I'll want to install Panther on, too.
The problem is the Pismo just flat out won't recognize the Panther install disks. I hear it spinning and whirring away, bless its little heart, but then it just gives up. No joy. The Combo drive will recognize/mount/play any and all CDs and DVDs I've thrown into it--just not the Panther install disks.
I've upgraded the firmware. I've tried running the disks in OS 9 (which gives me a "this disk is unreadable" message). The Pismo meets all the system requirements (which it had to, since someone before me got Panther to install somehow!)
Any ideas?

The Panther CDs are practically new & spotless, no peripherals are connected, and the PRAM got reset when I updated the firmware.
It's quite possible I have a failing DVD-ROM drive, but unless I'm reading it wrong, it's not made by LG. My Combo drive says it's a Matsushita SR-8174.
So, great suggestions, but I don't think we've quite dialed it in yet...
In my travels through the Googlesphere, I found one woman's posting in some forum with the exact same problem. Unfortunately, no one could help her and she seems to have given up. Also, a few references to vaguely similar problems that might have been solved by removing the non-original RAM (I have a 64 MB and a 128 MB in the two slots--within Panther's requirements, but I am ordering a 512 MB).
So on my end, I'll try it with more RAM (though, as I mentioned earlier, someone managed to install and run Panther just fine originally) and I'll head to our local independent Mac repair specialists to see if they can swap out the optical drive & see if that's the problem. But I'd still like it if the solution came from the wisdom of this incredible resource. Y'all rarely let me down--thanks.
A related question: if I connect the Pismo to my G4 desktop & start it up in Target Disk Mode, can I put the Panther disks in my G4 and wipe the Pismo & install Panther from there...?

I've paid $ 3,99 for Xcode for Snow Leopard. Now there is a new Xcode for Lion, so I downloaded the new one but the installed continued to be the old one. Now App Store says "Installed" and don't allow me to re-download Xcode. How can I proceed?

I've paid $ 3,99 for Xcode for Snow Leopard 12 days ago. After installing Lion I saw there is a new FREE Xcode for it, so I downloaded the new one but after installing automatically Xcode for Lion the Developer folder contained the old one. I deleted the old Xcode but the App Store says "Installed" and don't allow me re-download Xcode.
How can I proceed? I'm guessing whether this problem will occur each time I buy an application from App Store.

Yes, that's righ, Xcode installer was in the Apps folder. I assumed it had been automatically installed and the installer deleted after installation (the same way as Lion is installed).
I tried also the procedure for redownloding applications, and MAS showed both Xcodes (Lion and Snow Leopard) and OS X Lion. We see that buttons for Lion and Xcode for Snow Leopard say 'Install' but Xcode for Lion says 'installed' because there is an Install Scode in the Apps folder.
Thank you.

Crash when attempting to install panther and jaguar

Hello,
Few days ago I suffered a nasty crash (kernel panic I think) from using Windows Media Player 9 and a partially downloaded movie. After that the computer was unable to restart. Blue screen after showing the starting up window and nothing more. (I asked about that in this thread "what are my chances of full/partial recovery?" http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1008280&tstart=0 ).
Managed to get all my personal files off the crashed Powerbook via another machine using firewire disk target mode. Having managed to successfully do that I thought it was going to be plain sailing from then on. I used Disk Utility to reformat the drive including overwriting with zeros, and the Powerbook drive appeared on the other machine's desktop completely empty and looking fine.
Having disconnected it from the other machine, using Panther install CD 1 to install Panther I got a kernel panic, the message in multiple languages including Japanese saying restart computer, soon after clicking the Install button.
I tried starting from the Jaguar install disk 1, choosing Disk Utilities to reformat the drive again (without zeroing it this time) and tried to install Jaguar instead. Soon after clicking Install the screen went entirely black with a bit of white text in the top left: The installer has quit due to an unexpected error (exit code 0). Please restart your computer.
What's going on? The computer was working fine before the Windows Media Player crash (which occured when viewing movie in full screen mode). I've wiped and reformated the disk and now can't install Panther or Jaguar. What could the problem be? Firmware? I'm guessing without knowing anything. I'm v. surprised the problem is continuing after reformatting the drive. That indicates that the crash effected something other than the contents of the drive?! which I thought was impossible.
Any suggestions would be much apprecaited.
Thanks.

Hello,
Thanks for the replies/info.
Yes the Panther and Jaguar install disks are retail versions, not specific machine versions. And the Jaguar ones worked for the Powerbook before.
The Powerbook I have is the Firewire 500mhz one, Pismo I think it's called. The hard drive is a 60GB one. I didn't have to partition it before.
Reviewing all the above, it would appear that the problem is me not being able to use an internal, built in CD/DVD drive to install from this time? The only other thing it could be I think is the crash I recently had has had some bad effect -- but that's unlikely right? So, I need to get a new DVD drive? Or is there any other way to get the OS onto the Powerbook without getting another internal DVD/CD drive? Is there anyway to install onto the PB from another machine maybe?
Does that sound right?: not being able to use internal DVD/CD drive is the source of my current problem?
Thanks.
