You may have a corrupted update file. Download the 10.4.3 combo update from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxupdate1043combo.html and try again. If that works, then run Disk Utility and repair permissions. Finally, run Software Update and download any other updates it might bring up. Repeat the steps until all of your software is up-to-date.

After Clean Instal Tiger, upgrading to 10.4.7. many errors appeared

I wiped my boot drive, installed tiger, upgraded combo 10.4.7. Created anount account user. Things were spiffy for a moment until I mounted my firewire drives and some dmg file. BLAM! CRASH! MAYDAY MAYDAY! RUN FOR COVER into the apple forum! I've search forums for several problems and was unable to find solution but did on my own.
Errors:
Media ejectables: DMG, firewire drives, cd, dvd would not appear (but would on other users) I tried permission fix, disconnecting, whatever.
Internal audio wasn't working. Volume control was dissabled, and volume icon dissappeared from menubar after clicking it.
Worse of all: My icons on my sidebar were missing, desktop icons were randomly missing. I did comand J on finder and select show icon and show preview. That worked until log out, log in. Icons were switched around to the wrong ones, I thought I was on mars.
What else, well didn't get around much since I tried to deal with one problem at a time - it became overwhelming.
Before erasing the drive and reinstalling for another try, I decided to trash all my contents in my prefs folder in my home/personal directory (didn't empty trash). Logged out and back in. I'm back in business!
Those of you may want to try that and may have to re-adjust all your settings, serials, etc. Or you could drag some prefs back to folder to to find culprit or just the ones you really need. When happy with everything... Take out the garbage!
Hope it works for you as well.

It's explained as is. Delete some preference files.

Tiger Upgrade

I am looking to purchase a full disk set Tiger upgrade...I have a PowerMac G5 Panther 10.3.9...from what I gather...I have to purchase a disk set designed for "PowerMac"...as opposed to a set that is designed for "eMac"..."Mac Mini"...etc...is that the case?...any comments/input will be much appreciated...smiles

The current retail Tiger disk from Apple (10.4.6) will work on any PPC Mac that meets Tiger requirements built-in FireWire, 512MB RAM). Any other Tiger disks were made for a particular model, and were designed not to work on other models. Even if you found one that worked, you would probably be violating the license, since they are only licensed to be installed on one computer, and since Tiger is the current operating system, it is unlikely to have been removed from the machine the disk came from.

Tiger upgrade disks

I have a fairly functional iMac G4 ( 800 MHz 512MB 75GB HD) which I upgraded to Tiger (10.4.11) several years ago. I also have a iMac G5 (1.8 GHz 512MB 160 GB HD) which is running OS 10.3.9. I'd like to upgrade the G5 to Tiger.
Can I use the Tiger upgrade disks that I own to upgrade the G5? Is this possible (will it work if they have been used before) or does Apple disable the install ability of the disks?

The box is black with a silver X. The instruction booklet on the inside says "Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger Installation and Setup Guide". The disk says "Mac OS X Tiger Includes Xcode 2 Install DVD".
It software was purchased after the computer was purchased.

Tiger Upgrade No Go

I have three machines all sucessfully running OSX10.3.9 as follows:
G4 eMac/1gHz/1gRam
G4 15"PB/1.5gHz/2gRam
G4 AGP Graphics Tower/1gHz Sonnet processor upgrade card/1gRam
OS9.2.2 on original boot drive
OSX10.3.9 on secondary internal ATA drive
Adaptec 2930CU SCSI card.
Firmware v4.2.8.
The Tiger upgrade went fine on my first two machines. My Tower is giving me fits. I tried Tiger as a basic upgrade on the OSX HD, tried erasing the drive and doing a whole fresh Tiger install, everything, but for some reason, Tiger will not operate properly. The machine runs kludgy, System Prefs will not open, Terminal Window will not run commands. I verified the drive as OK running off the Tiger install CD. It's driving me nuts. The only thing I can think of is maybe there is some sort of SCSI or Sonnet conflict that is unique only to Tiger, as Panther installed fine as I recall, the Panther updates all went fine, and running OSX10.3.9, that machine ran fine.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks in Advance!

Still a no-go. I pulled the SCSI card, and no difference.
Sonnet has on their download page a download for Tiger users who have their Encore ST G4 card. The download is called Sonnet Cache Version: 1.4b1.
I installed it, but no difference. I contacted Sonnet Tech Support and hopefully they have a solution. It is listed as a beta version, and no idea if a new one is coming.
Maybe I'm just out of luck with this Sonnet Encore ST G4 card and Tiger.

Tiger upgrade, am i screwed?

So i am running 10.2 jaguar and bought the tiger upgrade, and now obviously i cannot do that. am i screwed or is there anyway forf me to down an upgrade from jaguar to panther? and then i can use my disk to go on up to tiger?
please help me!!

...and bought an upgrade for 10.4...
The upgrade you bought is not officially sold by Apple and therefore isn't legal for you to use.
If you buy the retail version of 10.4 it will upgrade 10.2 to 10.4.
i need 10.3, is there anyway to buy and download 10.3
There is no way to download 10.3. You can buy it on-line but it will need to be shipped to you.

Tiger upgrade loses messages

Just upgraded a G4 to Tiger (basic upgrade installation from Panther) and now many messages in my in box are inaccessible, giving me a message like this when I try to open them:
The message from XXXXXXXXX <[email protected]> concerning “xxxxxxxxxx” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it.
How do I get these messages back? Thanks for any help.

Tiger upgrade - computer stuck on verifying destination volume

When I begin installation, the bar freezes on Preparing the Disk - verifying destination volume....? I have run disk utility before installation... what else can I do?

10.3.9 to 10.4 tiger upgrade

hi, sorry if this has been posted before, but i'm in a hurry and this whole process is new to me.
ahem. I would like to know how to upgrade my OS to the latest version...10.4.6 if i'm not mistaken. the steps involved and all that.
thanks in advance.

Hi kinigitt,
first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
As a first step make sure you have the retail full install DVD. Then follow this procedure for the initial installation of Tiger: 10.4 Tiger Upgrade: Decision tree+Checklist
When the inital upgrade is done download the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Combo for PPC. As a next step Repair permissions before and after an update! Then apply the Combo update to 10.4.6.
Finally repair permissions again and run Software update from the Apple menu and install all remaining updates. Check all updates at once since only the system knows the exact order in which they have to be applied (not documented by Apple).

USING TIGER UPGRADE

i currently have 10.0.2 (i know, kinda behind the curve) and purchased tiger....i know i can do full install, but if i want to just use the 'tiger upgrade' can i do it from 10.0.2? or do i have to purchase the jaguar upgrade(10.2) in order to be able to install the tiger? stressed!!!! help!!!

Hi artsenthusiast,
first make sure you have
the retail full install version of Tiger (black DVD).
You cannot use hardware specific disks that shipped
with another computer (gray).
You cannot
directly upgrade from 10.0.x or 10.1.x to 10.4.x. You
will have to either reformat the drive (recommended)
or do an Erase&Install. In both cases all your
data will be lost, so make sure you have a complete
backup!!! If your computer is a dual-boot model (can
boot into OS 9 natively) I suggest to reformat the
drive using the OS 9 install CDs. By reformatting the
drive with the OS 9 disk you are safe that all
required OS 9 hardware drivers will be installed
properly.
1. Boot up from the OS 9 install
CD and reformat the drive as Apple Extended
(HFS+).
2. Install OS 9 and update it to 9.2.2: Mac OS 9: Available Updates
3. Confirm
you can boot into OS 9
4. Upgrade your firmware:
Firmware Upgrades
5. Insert the Tiger
install DVD and reboot while holding down th
c-key.
6. Once the installer has started select
"disk utility" from the menu.
7. Select "repair OS
9 privilegies" from the menu.
8. Repair the
disk.
9. Quit disk utility and proceed with a
normal install (do not select Erase&Install
because this would erase your OS 9)
10. After the
reboot Repair permissions!
11. Download
and apply the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update
(PPC).
12. Repair permissions again and
finally run Software Update from the Apple menu to
install all remaining updates (yes, you should
install all at once because only the software update
app knows the exact order in which they have to be
installed).
Good luck!

hi gulliver, steve, all you mac geniuses out there taking the time to help out...
a few things...
i have both 9.2.2 and ox 10.0.2 installed on my computer, and usually boot from 9.2 (i know, get with it, huh) because my photoshop, illust, quark, etc. are all for classic apps)..that's why i bought tiger (yep, the black disk) but found out if i installed it it would wipe out my hd, and then couldn't do the upgrade because i don't have 10.2 yet....
so, please clarify...if i purchase a used copy of jaquar on say ebay, and upgrade, and then upgrade w/ tiger, is this the safest way to go? or should i put all my trust in you gulliver, and go for it the way you outlined here by way of the classic 9 os? would these be the same steps to take now that i've told you i have ox 10.0.2 installed, too?
i'm kind of hesitant that i'll %$ck something up, but need to get with the times! thing is, i spent almost 3 grand last year due to a power surge that spent my hd...didn't back up, so drivesavers got all data back for me for the low, low price of 2700., then had to buy a new hd...so updating to a new mac was not an option for me last year - got to make due with the quicksilver g4 for a while.....
sorry for the melodrama, but i need any help you guys can give me, i just don't want to mess up again and go through what i did last year with my data!!! thanks for all of your much appreciated help!!!!

Mac OS X Tiger Upgrade

Hello, i'm currently running a iBook G4 with Mac OS X Panther, I got Tiger for christmas this year, but i have not upgraded. simply because i don't want to lose all my programs, like adium, or psptoolchain (which is in the user directory), is the tiger upgrade process easy on programs and files? will all my programs still be in the applications folder? i could care less about my system settings, its just my files that i cannot afford to lose.
oh, and one more question, is the Mac OS X intel install available to purchase? it would be great to run a computer with more power with mac os x tiger.

Hi Koba,
You can continue to use all your programs by choosing 'Simple Upgrade'.
But, before this upgrade, make sure your 10.3.x system has no any issue.
Do the followings before Tiger installation :
1-Boot from Panther Install CD,
2-Open 'Disk Utility' from menu bar, select the disc you want to install Tiger,
and run "Repair Disk". İf there is any correction, run it again until you see
'Everything is OK'.
İf you get some error message(s) that Disk Utility cannot fix, use DiskWarrior to repair.
Important: If it cannot be fixed by DiskWarrior ,do not continue installation procedure.
Backup your data and use 'Erase and Install'.
İf everything is OK ,
3-Start up as your normal user in Panther. Open Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility .
Select your volume and click on 'Repair Disk Permissions'. Quit Disk Utility
4-Backup your data.
Check if your iBook needs a Firmware Update.
Boot from Tiger dvd.
1-After language selection, do not continue and open 'Disk Utility' from menu bar.
2-Run 'Repair Disk' utility only.
Very important : Do NOT run 'Repair Permissions'
You must see 'No repairs were necessary'. If you get any correction report, run it once
again.
Quit Disk Utility.
3-Select your volume, click on 'Options' button and choose 'Upgrade Mac OS X'.
Click Continue.
4-Choose Easy Install or Custom Install which lets you install additional software like
fonts and printer drivers.
Click on Install. Your Mac will reboot automatically after installation.
That's all.
Good luck.

Tiger upgrade to iMac G3?

I have a "Snow" iMac G3 with 192 MB memory, and 30 GB hard drive. I currently am using OS10.1.5, but still have OS9.2.1 on it. The serial number is RN0395LWJVA if this will serve as any additional clues.
I'd like to upgrade to Tiger, but after many hours of reading, am still unsure whether my machine/software will take it.
Thank you for any help/comments/sympathy/?.
Sincerely,
Romelle

Hi romelle!
You do not have enough RAM. The bare minimum required is 256 MB.
I also don't think that Mac model has a DVD drive, so you would have to exchange the Tiger DVD for CD media.
It is possible to upgrade your iMac though, if you add more RAM.
Here is some additional info.
Mac OS X Versions 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4, are complete system upgrades that must be purchased.
The point upgrades, such as 10.1.x to 10.1.5 (Final) 10.2.x to 10.2.8 (Final), 10.3.x to 10.3.9 (Final), and 10.4.x to 10.4.8 (Pending), can be downloaded for free.
Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
Jaguar and Panther, are no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Tiger 10.4.x is the most up to date OS.
If you know what you are looking for, Jaguar Full Retail CDs, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, AppleRescue, FastMac, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
Jaguar and Panther are only on CDs, not DVDs.
The discs should look like the images in the above links.
Additional info in these links.
Using OS X Install CDs/DVDs On Multiple Macs
What's A Computer Specific Mac OS X Release
Software Update, Upgrade: What's The Difference?
Before upgrading to any OS X version, check to see if your Mac needs a Firmware Update.
If one is required, you must start the computer from a Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9 System Folder on the computer's hard disk, not from a CD, in order to install it.
Once Jaguar 10.2.x is installed, you can use the 10.2.8 Combo Update,
or if Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version of either OS.
If your Mac meets the System Requirements for Tiger, you could also consider installing that. Which your iMac does not.
And then use the PPC 10.4.8 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
Jaguar System Requirements
-Power Mac G3 or G4, iMac, eMac, PowerBook G3 or G4, or iBook computer
-128MB of physical RAM
-Supports all video cards shipped by Apple on Mac OS X-compatible systems. Quartz Extreme functionality is supported by the following video cards: NVIDIA GeForce2 MX, GeForce3, GeForce4 MX, or GeForce4 Ti; Any AGP-based ATI RADEON card. A minimum of 16MB VRAM is required.
-QuickTime Pro functionality requires a QuickTime 6 Pro key. The QuickTime 5 Pro key will not work after this software is installed.
-DVD Player requires a DVD-ROM equipped Macintosh with built-in FireWire.
Panther System Requirements
Additional Panther System Requirements
Tiger System Requirements
Additionally, "Tiger ships on a DVD, but if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you’ll need CD media. When you buy Mac OS X Tiger, you qualify to purchase Tiger CDs for only $9.95."

Tiger upgrade on MacBook Pro, which one?

I have a 15" MacBook Pro (2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) running Tiger (OS10.4.11) that I just got off of eBay. It has 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. Would like to upgrade the OS to the latest version it can run. What OS can run on this machine & how do I proceed?

Mac OS X 10.8.2. Phone the online Apple Store, order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, run Software Update, and then get 10.8 from the Mac App Store.

Apple programs will not recognize Internet connection after Tiger upgrade

In January, I posted the question below. I wanted to update it, but this site has archived it and will not allow responses. In the hope that I may help someone else, I am repeating my question, now that I have the answer.
===============================================
ORIGINAL PROBLEM
Last week, I upgraded from 10.3.9 to Tiger. Ever since then, I have had trouble using Apple's programs that require internet usage: Safari, iTunes, Software Update, etc. All of these programs think I am not connected to the Internet. But I am; I can use Netscape, Internet Explorer, and other non-Apple programs on the web.
Furthermore, it's not consistent. Sometimes Safari will recognize the connection. I'll be using Safari, looking up websites, when suddenly it will quit connecting, giving me the message, "Cannot connect to the server," no matter what server it is, even apple.com (so I have to use Netscape to access my .Mac and this Support screen).
How can I resolve this?
==============================================
The problem was that my Earthlink Access software was setting a proxy on my connection. Netscape & Firefox worked because they ignore any proxies; the Apple programs (plus Shiira and Internet Explorer) didn't connect because they use the proxies.
Why did it sometimes work? Well, if I first used Safari to go to a secure website of my bank, somehow that opened up the connection and then I could continue to use the Internet and Internet based programs like iTunes and widgets. However, if I tried to use an Internet-based program before going to the secure site, then it wouldn't work.
After months of phone calls and e-mails and sending data packets and all such stuff with Apple Care, they finally stumbled upon this answer: Uncheck the proxy box. And that did it. At first I had to uncheck it every time I started up the computer, but now it stays unchecked and I can use my Apple programs with no trouble.
I just wanted to share this with you in case you also had trouble with Internet connections after upgrading to Tiger, because I did see several other people had this same trouble.
Movable flat-screen iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1.25Ghz processor, 256 MB memory (DDR SDRAM)

For the record, could you state each Proxy box you ended up unchecking please? I'll attempt to submit a user tip with credit to you for finding this solution.
