This Software Cannot Be Installed on This Computer

This seems to be a fairly common problem, but I haven't yet found a definitive solution. Basically, we decided to reinstall 10.4 on a couple computers (1.8 GHz iMac G5's) at work. It worked fine on the first computer, but it won't let us even install on the second.
The 10.4 disc is inserted, and the computer boots up fine, and takes you to the language select screen. However, once I hit continue, it brings me to the "Install Mac OS X" screen, and says "This software can't be installed on this computer" and gives me the option to Restart or choose a different startup disk (there aren't any others).
Now, we have a half dozen Macs here, and at least 3 sets of install discs. However, I've tried the three I could find (2 iMac G5 install discs, and one regular 10.4.4 disc) and they all give the same error. Should I keep looking for another install disc, or is the problem something else. Thanks!

Ah, right, I should mention that we already attempted an erase and install (I think... I wasn't here for that part). Either way, it won't even let me get that far. The only thing I can choose is the language. After that, it says "Preparing Installation" followed immediately by the Install window popping up, looking like it's going to work, then saying "The software cannot be installed on this computer."
The only things I can do from that point are choose the things in the Utilities menu. I've already tried repairing the disk. Any other ideas?

When I try to download OS 10.5.6 from 10.4.11 I get 'software cannot be installed, I havemore than 1GB RAM, enough Hard Drive and a intel core processor. The OS 10.5.6 software is from my newer Mac ibook, any suggestions?

Hi Tommy,
Using install discs created for another computer is the problem. I suggest you get a stand alone install disc for Leopard and give that a try. I know it's a bummer since you have a perfectly good install disc but you can't take an install disc from a new computer and use it to update an older computer. As a matter of fact you would have problems using your install disc on the same type of computer if it didn't have the same build number. In the old days of Power Macs that wasn't an issue. You could take an install disc for one computer and update every Mac you owned. Sorry.

Xcode cannot find the software image to install this version

Hello,
I have a iPhone 5 with 6.1.3 version. So, I get the message "xcode cannot find the software image to install this version" when I have connected to Organizer.
Why? Xcode version is the lastest 4.6.2 Abril 2013.
How to update the xcode in order to have an updated image for my iPhone 5?
Thank you
Jordi Saboya

Here is some more info on the error.
Builds fine and runs on iPhone simulator.
OS 10.5.4
XCode 3.1
iPhone 2.0
Is iPhone 3G supported?
Error message XCode when building to device.
"Your mobile device has encountered an unexpected error (0xE8000001)

I did try that and it did not work.
Thanks again.

This software cannot be installed on the computer/sibling link error

I have been helping a friend overseas troubleshoot her computer.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1741148&tstart=0
We are at the point where she was able to get her data off the drive and would now like to reinstall her system.
She has a refurbished iBook which was running 10.4.11 with software updates. Her startup disks are in the states as she is in a village in Africa. She has borrowed disks which contain 10.4.8 and is receiving the message that +"This software cannot be installed on the computer."+ Would this be due to different versions and trying install an older OS onto a computer with a newer OS?
She had a sibling link error on her hard drive, so we were able to recover data. I was hoping to reformat her hard drive to remove the error and reinstall the system. Would this error effect the installation process?
Thank you.

If this is an iBook model she will need to use a retail Tiger installer or the discs that came with her computer. She could try with Leopard if the iBook meets the requirements:
System requirements
You must have a Macintosh computer with:
an Intel processor or a PowerPC G4 (867 MHz or faster) or G5 processor
a DVD drive
built-in FireWire
at least 512 MB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended for development purposes)
a built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
at least 9 GB of disk space available, or 12 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools

have repaired disc and disc permissions from disc utility, have zapped pram, have pulled hair out!!! still get this message, anybody any ideas?
all i want is 10.4 running!

The grey discs will only install on the model of Mac with which they shipped. If these discs didn't ship with your Mac, and they don't work with your Mac, well then there's not much you can do.
As far as it being legal or not, it is illegal to install this software on more than one Mac at the same time. If the original owner of these grey discs is no longer using the software and has removed the software from his system, and he has not retained other copies of it, then it is legal for him to transfer ownership of the software to you, and legal for you to use it. But that's not of much help to you if you don't have the correct model of Mac.
Get the black retail Tiger install disc from amazon.com or elsewhere. It will work on all Mac models with built-in firewire.

"iCal software cannot be installed on this computer"...why?

I deleted iCal a few months ago because there was something strange going on with it and I figured I'd just redownload it. Well, last week I finally got around to it and it keeps saying "iCal software cannot be installed on this computer." My software is all up to date so I'm about to pull out my hair in the process of figuring our why the heck it's saying that.
Does anyone have ideas of why this could be? Or should I just bring my computer in to my Apple store and have them figure it out?
Thanks so much for any help!!

Lauren Beth,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
To reinstall iCal:
1. Insert the Leopard Installation disk into the computer.
2. The disk will appear on the desktop.
3. Double click on the "Optional Installs" folder.
4. Double click on the "Optional Installs.mpkg."
5. Click on (Continue) in Introduction.
6. Click on (Continue) in Software License Agreement.
7. Click on (Agree) to agree to the terms of the software license agreement.
8. Click on the disclosure arrow ▶ next to Applications.
9. Select (✓) iCal.
10. Click (Continue).
11. After iCal has been reinstalled, download and install the Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update to bring iCal up to the most recent version.
;~)

PowerBook G4 "this software cannot be installed on this computer"

Hello Everyone,
I recently bought a new MacBook Pro and I wanted to give away my Powerbook G4. I tried using the factory install discs to wipe as well as Mac OS 10.3 retail discs. I thought the hard drive have Mac OS 10.4 was a problem, so I wiped the drive and bricked my computer.
When I try to install Mac OS or use the factory install discs, it gives me the error "this software cannot be installed on this computer"
Does anyone know how to correct this?

If you have access to an Apple Store Genius, by all means.
By "too old" it's not that the disks age and go bad, but the installer checks what exact model you are trying to install onto. You get the error message if it's not a compatible OS and machine, such as the OS being older than the machine needs.
If there's no way your disks could have gotten mixed up with others, it's a mystery that someone with other troubleshooting tools (like a range of retail OSX disks) may have to figure out. Did you ever actually install OSX from these disks? Perhaps they were always wrong and you never knew it?

IMac says This Software Cannot Be Installed On This Computer

My iMac has just had a new HDD fitted and im trying to re install 10.4 on it and it comes up with "ALERT - This Software Cannot Be Installed On This Computer" what can i do?

1) You must use the either Original Tiger Install DVD set or a later Retail Upgrade Disc than came with that iMac?
2) The Partition Map Scheme of most off the shelf drives is normally Master Boot Record and it must also be changed to GUID Partition Table.
1. Boot from your install DVD, Upgrade Disc or Bootable Clone and open Disk Utility.
2. Highlight the new HD in the list of drives and select the Partition tab.
3. Under Volume Scheme select 1 Partition and click on the Options... button.
4. Select GUID Partition Table in the drop down window and click OK.
5. Set the Format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Apply button.
6. Once thats done then you can do a clean Install, Restore your Bootable Clone.

Alert - This Software Cannot Be Installed On This Computer

I need your assistance. I have this refurbished iMac G5 that my father gave me several years ago. I believe he purchased it directly from Apple or from an authorized seller. I have all of the cds it came with. Long story short, I am trying to install the OS using the discs provided and it keeps cropping up with the alert message - This software cannot be installed on this computer. I have 2 gray CDs - it says it's iMac G5 Mac OS X Install Disc 1, Mac OS version 10.4, AHT version 2.5.1. I also have another disc that will go further along in the installation process but stops because I do not have OS 10.3 installed. This CD is black with an X and says Mac OS X Tiger Includes Xcode 2, CPU Drop In DVD, Version 10.4. I performed the Apple Hardware Test and everything passed. I tried partitioning it like other users have offered but it still comes back with the same message.
Your suggestions and assistance will be most welcome! Let me know if I should include any other details.

Hi,
I have all of the cds it came with...
I have 2 gray CDs - it says it's iMac G5 Mac OS X Install Disc 1, *Mac OS version 10.4*, AHT version 2.5.1.
I also have another disc that will go further along in the installation
process but stops because I do not have OS 10.3 installed. This CD is black with an
X and says *Mac OS X Tiger* Includes Xcode 2,
Something is not right -
If gray discs marked 10.4 really did ship (or were supposed to ship) with your computer, then you would *already have* a Tiger version, and there would be no role for the Tiger upgrade DVD. In fact if your computer really is a model that came with Tiger originally, then you couldn't now install Panther on it even if you had Panther install discs.
I believe that the iMac G5 model that came with grey 10.4 Tiger discs was the 2005 "Ambient Light Sensor" (ALS) model. To be sure you have that model, you can obtain its serial number from the base of the computer as shown on [this page|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1749] and then plug the last 3 characters into the identifier box on [this page|http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup].
What model did it report? If your iMac is not an "ALS" model, then you probably have the wrong original install discs. If you do have that model, then perhaps the HD was not formatted correctly before you tried the install. Let us know.

ILife "Bundled Software Cannot Be Installed" on Leopard Upgrade Error

I had to do a clean install of Leopard after the installation stopped midway through the first time. It was successful the 2nd time.
Ilife was of course missing so I put back in my Tiger install disk that came with the computer (2.16 GHZ Mac Book Pro 17", 2GB 667m DDR2 SDRAM) clicked on "Install Bundled Software Only" to get ILife and I get the error "Bundled Software Cannot Be Installed on this computer. Make sure your system meets the requirements"
How do I get around this?
What could be causing it?

I think I did the Erase and install.
Basically I tried to upgrade to Leopard. The upgrade did not work and got stuck in the middle. I was worried about getting everything off my hard drive. I was able to remove the files I wanted but then when I put back in the disk to do the install I had to do the option where it would erase everything on the disk.
So that is why I'm confused as to why it is saying I can't put ILife on leopard.
It seems like everything should be ready to go.
Would it make a difference if I'm using my twin brother's installation disk instead of mine? I never thought of that until now but our disks are all in one spot and I could have grabbed his but I doubt that's the problem.

"Bundled Software Cannot Be Installed" on Leopard Upgrade Error

The application Garageband somehow got deleted off my computer, I re inserted the 'mac mini install disk' and proceeding in trying to install 'bundled software only' and I received this message 'Bundled Software cannot be installed on this computer. make sure your system meets the requirements' I know its the correct disk because I only have one mac mini and the disc belong to this computer, can someone help me solve this error so I can reinstall garageband, or at the very least offer a way to get garageband back on my computer, thanks!

Do you have a newer version of Mac OS X on your mini than was on the install disk? That may be why it's unwilling to do that installation.
You may be able to install GarageBand by doing a control-click on the installer you're trying to run, then selecting "Show Package Contents". Within what you see, pick something reasonable. If you keep drilling down you may eventually find the GarageBand installer, which you can then run.

Do you know what the error log messages mean? or how to fix it so it will install as now I have nothing. I don't have any Tiger disks to go back to because I got my Mac Mini used.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank You, Jill
It sounds as if the CD set you have is not for the computer you purchased. Each CD set is made specifically for the computer for which it ships with. That CD set will not work on any other computer.
