Tiger 10.4 -- How Do I get Classic on there?

I have A tiger DVD. No Classic installer on it.
I have a 9.1 Disc. It won't let me boot up from it. When I hold the C key down & restart, I just get the flashing question mark. It won't let me install it when Tiger is running either.
I have tried my original discs that came with the powerbook, but they are 9.0 & classic wants 9.1, so it won't let me even upgrade to 9.1.
I have no restore discs. I don't know where to get them.
What am I supposed to do?
Thanks

Hi, Tinderbox -
If the OSX 10.4 is from a retail package, it does not
include the ability to install Classic.
However, you should be able to install OS 9 for use
as Classic from the disks that came with that
machine.
If the machine came with a separate OS 9 Install
disk, boot to it, and run the installer. If you do
nothing else, you will probably get a complaint that
an 'unknown version' newer OS is already present. The
solution is to do a Clean Install of OS 9. A Clean
Install of OS 9 will not erase anything.
Article #58176 - Mac OS 8, Mac OS 9: Performing
a Clean Installation
Aside - your machine specs show your G4 as being
1.5GHz. There's no G4 model with that speed. Is it
perhaps a 1.25GHz model? The first 1.25GHz model was
in the first G4 MDD model series, had dual 1.25GHz
processors, and came with OSX 10.2.x (Jaguar) along
with OS 9.2.2 on a common set of install disks.
Hey Don,
You're right how can my computer be 1.5GHZ and still be a G4?? Well I cheated and up graded my process over 3 years ago and made it go faster. My computer is originally 533Mhz.
Back to the subject, I did what you advised and it totally worked. I preformed a clean install and then restarted my computer and there it was the OS 9 System Folder running under OS 9 Classic on Tiger!!!
Thanks again! You were very helpful.

    Hi, I have recently bought a new laptop and when I went to add new songs to my iphone and ipods and there is no music there when i signed into my account on itunes.  How do I get it on there? thanks

    Copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the music folder) from your old computer to your new one, using one of the methods outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.

  • HT4527 I just transferred all my iTunes music, etc. to a new laptop but the iTunes program, itself, is not on the laptop. How do I get it on there so I have a place for my music? Thank you. SandyLyn50

    I just transferred all my iTunes music, etc. from my PC to a new laptop but the iTunes program, itself, is not on the laptop. How do I get it on there so I can put in my music? Thank you so much

    Thank you, this is exactly what I needed to do. I'm in business again! I had thought of doing this, but didn't think my music would automatically transfer into the new iTunes. It did transfer and I updated to the new version and I'm good to go. Thank you again, so very much

    How to i transfer playlists from my iPhone to iTunes? They are all on my iPhone but not on iTunes how do i get them on there?

    iTunes will only transfer purchases back to your computer using the iTunes > File > Transfer purchases from XXX's iPhone.  It will not transfer playlists or non-purchased songs.
    Here is an application that will transfer playlists and non-purchases (from iTunes) songs.  There is a free demo limited to 1,000 songs or you can buy the full featured version for $18.99.  http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/

  • HT1338 for itunes 10.7 it is saying that my mac need version OS X needs to be version 10.8.6 - how do i get this? There are no current software updtes and i cant use iTunes for my new iphone 5

    For itunes 10.7 it is saying that my mac need version OS X needs to be version 10.8.6 - how do i get this? There are no current software updates and i cant use iTunes for my new iphone 5

    I think you meant 10.6.8, not 10.8.6
    It requires an upgrade, instead of a free update.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.
    Buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

  • My email box shows I have 4100 unread messages I don't know why it has done this. How do I get it off there?

    My email shows that I have over 4,000 unread messages don't know why or where it came from. I don't have any unread. How do I get that off there?

    I suspect in this case the problem is caused by your library and device having downloaded independent copies of the media, so that when the library connects to the device it copies over your purchases not realizing they are already in the library.
    When deduping use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

  • My husband has his itunes on our home computer, how do I get mine on there too?

    my husband has his itunes on our home computer, how do I get mine on there too?

    You can either create a separate user ID on the computer and maintain your own iTunes library, or share his iTunes library. If you share a library you can also share music and other content.
    What kind of computer is it - Windows or Mac?

  • When i open safari an apple alert comes up with a phone number.  when i call i get put on hold forever.  how do i get this off there?

    when i open safari an apple alert comes up with a phone number to call.  when i call i get put on hold forever or no one calls me back.  how do i get this off there and what is it?

    It's a scam. Do not call the number. There are several ways to recover.
    1. Some of those scam pages can be dismissed very easily. Press the key combination command-W to close the tab or window. A huge box will pop up. Press the return key and both the box and the page will close. If that doesn't happen, continue.
    2. Press and hold command-W. You may hear repeating alert sounds. While holding the keys, click the OK button in the popup. A different popup may appear, which you can cancel out of as usual.
    3. From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and uncheck the box marked Enable JavaScript. Leave the preferences dialog open.
    Close the malicious window or tab.
    Re-enable JavaScript and close the preferences dialog.
    4. If the Preferences menu item is grayed out, quit Safari. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. None of the windows and tabs will reopen.
    After closing the malicious page, from the menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.

  • I previously downloaded The Walking Dead from iTunes to my iPhone. I deleted it to make space but now it no longer shows up on my purchased list on Apple TV. How do I get it back there?  My iphone shows it is in the cloud.

    How do I get a purchased show or movie to show up on Apple TV after I deleted or from my iphone? It is in the cloud on my phone but nowhere to be found on Apple TV.

    Hello compugrrl998,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with watching The Walking Dead on your Apple TV.  I am sure you are eager to watch it on your television. 
    Have you tried checking specifically in Movies > Purchased or TV Shows > Purchased on the Apple TV?
    Play previous purchases on Apple TV
    You need Apple TV (2nd generation or later) to play content on Apple TV. Some features require the latest version of Apple TV software. If they're available in 1080p, you can play previously-purchased 720p HD TV shows and movies in 1080p.
    Movies and TV shows
    On the Apple TV main menu, choose Movies > Purchased or TV Shows > Purchased.
    Select the item you want to view.
    Choose Play.
    Download past purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    If you are looking there and not seeing the episodes, I recommend verifying that you are signed in with the same Apple ID on the Apple TV that you are signed in with on your iPhone.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Sheila M.

  • I have an iphone 3G 16GB 4.2.1 - i moved back to canada and got telus mobile service. they cant get phone working because cellular data network tab/button is not on my phone. How do i get it on there

    OK. T-Mobile is NOT owned by AT&T... yet... The deal hasn't gone through yet. T-Mobie's US network is not compatible with the iPhone. Lots of things don't work right. There is not, and never has been an unlocked 3G sold in the US. Don't know where the phone originated, but more than likely it was in the US. If that's the case, the phone has been hacked/jailbroken to get it to work.
    Have you tried doing a restore or restoring the phone as new? I have to warn you, if you do so and the phone is hacked/jailbroken, it will re-lock to AT&T and will become unusalbe.  I think your best bet right now might be to save yourself a lot of grief and just upgrade to new phone from a legitimate source.
    I would never even consider buying an iPhone on ebay. 99% or more are hacked, jailbroken and/or stolen.

  • My Samsung tv came pre-loaded with V-Tunes. I prefer in Tune-In Radio. How can I get it on there?

    My samsung tv came pre-loaded with V-Tunes.  I prefer Tune-IN Radio which was pre-installed on my other samsung tv which was recently replaced with larger unit without realizing that Tune-In wasn't installed on this new one..... How do I get it installed. It ia not appearing in the Samsung Apps on my screen.   Frustrated!!!!!

    Go to the page linked below, and there's an option to "check your device". If you click this, you can enter the make and model etc. of your new TV and find out for certain if it is compatible or not.

  • I purchased a game on my iPhone 4S and it did not download to my ipad air, how can I get this to there?.

    I purchased bejeweled with my iPhone 4S and was hoping it would appear on my iPad Air, but this did not happen nor did it appear in my purchased apps at the App Store on my iPad.  How do I get it to recognize that it was already purchased?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    Thank you for all the answers to my query.  I had been using the same account on both phone and iPad, but did not make the difference.  It said it was compatible with iPad.  I just ended up having to pay for it on it as well.  Sorry for taking so long to reply.
