No.

If both the computers are in your house, purchase the Family Pack, which is cheaper than two separate copies.

Can I install Tiger on my Mac from someone else's unused install discs?

I bought a guy's unused Tiger install discs from eBay, since Apple no longer sells Tiger and my computer cannot handle Leopard (it's a PowerBook G4, 667 MHz/512 MB RAM). The discs are for a MacBook and for some reason it is not installing onto my computer. What should I do to make the installation work? Am I totally screwed here? The guy said he never used it because he skipped straight to Leopard on his MacBook, and promised it would be fine to install on my computer since he never registered Tiger on his computer. Please help!! Thanks.

Methinks you have been had. The Install/Restore disks that come with Mac computers are model-specific, meaning that you can only use them on that specific type of Mac. Registration is not an issue here.
I suggest you return them to the seller, get your money back, and try to get a retail version of Tiger. That comes with universal disks that can install on any Mac.

I own PSE 7 on disc. The laptop it was loaded on died. My new laptop doesn't have an optical drive so I downloaded PSE 7 from the Adobe site. It downloaded fine but I cannot start using it until I enter a S/N. The S/N on the disc box doesn't work.

Those links weren't particularly helpful to me. They convinced me to install the drivers for my USB 2.0 card, but that didn't make a difference. Still no OS X without a PRAM reset if I've dared to venture into OS 9.
It's always been my understanding that an unblessed System Folder will not be selectable in OS 9's Startup Disk control panel. My folders are blessed and healthy. Of course I'm running 9.2.2, as stated in my first message. I also frequently verify and repair my disks and permissions.
I did a verbose startup of OS X, and noticed something funny about "ATY...too old." Perhaps this problem is related? I ventured into my system.log file and there it was, repeated over and over, everytime I've booted this computer:
Aug 8 18:30:24 localhost kernel: From path: "/pci/@d/pci-ata@1/ata-4@0/disk@0:10,\mach_kernel", Waiting on <dict ID="0"><key>IOPathMatch</key><string ID="1">IODeviceTree:/pci/@d/pci-ata@1/ata-4@0/@0:10</string></dict>
Aug 8 18:30:35 localhost kernel: ROM ndrv for ATY,Rage128y is too old (0xb3383430)
Aug 8 18:30:41 localhost init: kernel security level changed from 0 to 1
Anyone know how to interpret that? Is it related to my problem? I googled it, and all I found was a web board of people arguing over whether the Apple installed stock ATI Rage video card that came in the G3's is appropriate for Panther. The Ye's have it as far as I'm concerned...as long as I leave OS 9 alone, my video is fine on this computer!

PE8: Can't burn disc from work area only?

Am I blind? I can't seem to find anywhere an option that will let me burn a disc from the work area only... is it there somewhere?
I see that option for sharing to the web, but not when burning a disc.
I have six hours of material on the timeline and was hoping to burn three discs, but PE8 is telling me that I don't have enough disc space for all 6 hours. Well, duh, I know that, so I was planning on moving the work area over what I wanted to burn, like you can do in PrePro. No go in PE8?

Because of a major difference between PrE and PrPro, Sequences, there are things that can be done in PrPro, that PrE cannot do.
Back in PrPro 2.0, one could Burn to DVD directly. That has not been possible, as of CS3. From there on, one had to either Export/Import from PrPro to Encore, or use Adobe Dynamic Link (strengthened and improved in CS4), to author a DVD/BD.
Steve's suggestion is the best - use the WAB to Export the segments that are required per DVD, and then do separate Projects for each. Import each DV-AVI that has been Exported, via the WAB, and then just Burn to DVD, for each one. It's two more steps, but gets the job done neatly.
Good luck,
Hunt

Tiger will not install from disc

Hi all. I'm very frustrated.
I recently tried to reinstall Mac OS 10.4.6 onto my Powerbook G4. I purchased this operating system from the Apple store as an upgrade, not sure how long ago. Originally, the computer ran 10.2, but I'd rather have it running Tiger. Anyway, the disc check fails, and the installation doesn't complete from the Tiger DVD. The frustrating thing is that it's only been used for one install before now, and I don't see any scratches on the disc. As of right now, I've been able to install the original operating system, OS 10.2, from the original system disc.
Anyone know if it's possible to get a replacement disc from Apple? Alternately, is there any way to save a DVD like this? Do you think anyone at a Genius Bar could help me with a 10.4 install despite the fact that my DVD is no good?

Hi RRBarrow, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Anyone know if it's possible to get a replacement disc from Apple?
Call AppleCare and explain, they may not have any Tiger disks, but I have heard they made one for somebody.
Alternately, is there any way to save a DVD like this?
I've recovered some using Disk Utility to make a new image to burn... it tries harder to read it than the installer does, other times it would not.
Do you think anyone at a Genius Bar could help me with a 10.4 install despite the fact that my DVD is no good?
Very likely they could/would from one of theirs.

Receiving "internal error" when trying to burn mp3 disc from playlist

I'm trying to burn an mp3 disc from a playlist that I've created. Unfortunately, I keep getting an error. I'm currently running iTunes 11.0.2 on my iMac which is currently running 10.8.3. I've done this many times before, and this is the first that I've had this problem. Here's the error I keep getting:
The attempt to burn a disc failed. An internal error occured.
If you want to retry the current failed burn, click on Retry. If you want to go to the next disc burn, click on Next. Otherwise click on Cancel.
Here's how it goes down:
I've created a very long playlist which will require the use of multiple discs.
I right-click on the playlist and select to burn the playlist to disc.
I then get the usual burn settings pop-up menu where I select the "MP3 CD" format with a preferred speed of "Maximum Possible"
Note: Since experiencing this error, I have tried varried speeds ranging from 8x to 24x; I still get the error.
Note Also: I have tried selecting "Audio CD" instead, and the playlist will burn and the error does not appear. This is not an option I want to go with, however, because of the length of the playlist — it would take, like, 25 discs...
For a moment iTunes will read the disc, then ask permission for the playlist to be split across multiple discs. I say "ok".
At this point, iTunes will say that it is initiallizing for about a split second then immediately say it's finalizing and spit out the disc. This is when the error pops up.If I select to "Retry", it doesn't retry to burn; it just saves a .txt file to my desktop that is a copy of the error message. There's no error code/number or anything, though - just the exact same message. "Cancel" and "Next" seem to behave correctly, though.
I have tried repairing disk permissions and restarting my computer. I've also tried using different brands of CDs: Memorex CD-R and Innovera CD-R. The error persists.
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

What happens if you export MPEG2-DVD from Premiere Pro... import the 2 files (audio and video) into Encore... and do ALL of your authoring work in Encore?

I have CS2 and am interested in buying CS4,or CS5, or CS5.5 used. Will my serial number from my CS2 work for an upgrade version?

Like to own hard copy CS at the cheapest possible price.
CS2 will not work with Lion.
I'm looking at used CS4 upgrade discs that are for sale.
Will my serial number from my CS2 work for the upgrade?

There are no upgrade paths from CS2.
If you purchased used software you're pretty much on your own. Much of what is sold on places like eBay or Craigs List doesn't have valid licenses. Caveat emptor.

I can't burn a disc from Itunes without getting error 4280 repeatedly.

I can't burn a disc from Itunes without getting error 4280 repeatedly. I was just able to burn a CD and now can't burn another. Any thoughts? I know my CD burner works as I just made a disc. I have tried changing file type from Audio to MP3 with no luck. Thanks for trying to help me.

Hello Sonni,
It sounds like you are unable to burn a disc with iTunes due to this error code. I would first use the following article to check issues with the type of disc drive:
Burning disc in iTunes for Windows using a Sony CD-RW/DVD CRX830E model drive fails with 4280 error
http://support.apple.com/kb/ta38101
If this is not the case, use the following article to help troubleshoot the issue:

I have an older iMac 5,1 and the disc drive no longer works. I was hoping that I could the Apple USB super drive as a replacement, but the info on the super drive page says compatible with iMac 2012 or later. Does anyone know why it would not work for me?

A reply to similar question (Q & As , in product page Apple Store) says:
"...dissable the internal reader hardware from devices setup. Then plug the external usb superdrive and that's it." Answered by Enrique T from Lima Oct 25 2013.
If you can locate an external Apple USB 'Air" superdrive for earlier model MacBook Air, that should work. The newer one for the Air is the same as for iMac, now.
You may be able to use other brands of external USB optical drive with your older intel-based iMac, as some of them function capably. A few should also be able to see system discs or other bootable utilities on DVD.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing!

How do i get my data/apps from my powerpc to my new imac?

how do i get my address book data from my powerpc to my new imac?

Your best bet is to use Setup Assistant (preferred) or Migration Assistant to set your new Mac up just like the old one. That will transfer old 3rd-party PPC apps, but they won't work, and you can delete them afterwards.
See How do I set up a new Mac from an old one, its backups, or a PC?

I want to install a new hard drive on my 2008 MacBook but do not have the instillation discs that came with my computer. Can I use instillation discs from a 2009 or 2010 MacBook?

I want to install a new hard drive on my 2008 MacBook but do not have the instillation discs that came with my computer. Can I use instillation discs from a 2009 or 2010 MacBook? The hard drive I am planning to install is a WD Scorpio Black 500GB SATA 2.5'' internal hard drive.

Sometimes they do work - i've done it before. I have a late 2008 Macbook Uni and used the install dvd of my 2009 Macbook White and it worked.
Why not just clone your hard drive? It'll save you a lot of time doing a clone rather than doing a clean install.
Unless you're having issues with your old set up or your old hard drive is dead.
You can download Carbon Copy Cloner - install your new hard drive in a external usb enclosure (around $10) and clone fromt here then test it before you install it in your Macbook.
Once you've done the swap, you can install your old hard drive in the USB enclosure and use it as a backup drive.
Good luck

Can I install Tiger in a Dual 500 MHz PowerPC G4?

Can I install Tiger in a Dual 500 MHz PowerPC G4, or is it better to stick with 10.3.9? I'm having some problems so I was going to wipe he hard drive and re-build everything from scratch o I was wondering if migrating to OS X 10.4.9 is worthwhile or even compatible with this PCU. Thanks.

Yes you can run 10.4 on your dual 500, I have a dual 450 (I overclocked it to 550...) and it runs pretty fast. You need a minimum 192 MB of RAM to install it and a minimum 128 MB of RAM to run it. I would suggest having at least 512 MB of RAM when running 10.4.
What problems are you experiencing? If it's just lagging and seeming slow it may just be worthwhile to clean some temp files and clean up your disk. IMHO, 10.4 is a much better system than 10.3, and runs much smoother. I can guarantee you that your system will run much smoother if you wipe the disk clean and put a fresh install of 10.4 on there, and also get a decent amount of RAM in there. After I upgraded my RAM to 1.5 GB, I noticed a substantial difference in speed, and got a lot less spinning color wheels. But one thing that you need to always keep in mind is to KEEP YOUR DISK CLEAN!!! Clean the temp files often and limit your internet downloading. If you keep your computer on all of the time, restart it every once in a while. There's a lot of little things you can do to increase speed in OS 10.4. Use spotlight and recent applications. Fill up your dock. Don't clutter the desktop, etc. There's plenty of articles on the net to help increase speed without adding anything else to your system, just navigating through the OS differently.

Disk Utility Unable to Correctly Burn Bootable Discs From ISO Files with Yosemite (10.10.1)

My problem is with burning ISO images to make a bootable DVD disc with OSX 10.10.1. I cannot drag and drop an ISO file (in this case, Ubuntu 14.04 server iso) to the disk utility and then burn it with Yosemite. I have to first open the ISO file, then attempt to burn it. The DVD it creates is unreadable. I tried to convert the ISO file to CDR and also IMG - same problem: disc unreadable error.
I then went back to OSX 10.9.5 and tried the same thing - worked like a champ. I was able to drag and drop the ISO file into the Disk Utility window and successfully burn a bootable DVD disc from the same Ubuntu ISO file I tried using with 10.10.1.
Hey Apple, what's up? You broke Disk Utility in 10.10.1. Has anyone experienced the same problem and found a work-around? I hate to have to keep booting an older version of OSX to accomplish this task. So far, Yosemite has been a bust for me with all the other problems I have experienced. I might as well go back to 10.9.5 on all my Macs until Apple gets their act together with Yosemite.
