Tiger won't load on my G3 iBook combo

Having trouble loading Tiger onto my G3 iBook w/combo drive. Bought the Tiger family pack and everything loaded fine on my kid's iMac G5.
I understand that I can connect my G5 to my iBook and load the software... a genius told me at the apple store. Can anyone give me directions on doing this? Please be simple with your expanation so that I can follow along....
THANK YOU!

Helo TripleChime,
The installation software cannot be located on the hard disk that you want to install it to. So copying the installation software to the G3 will not work. By inserting the installation DVD in the iMac G5 and by putting the G5 in target mode, you authorize the G3 to see all the G5's startup volumes.
Insert your installation disk in the G5. Wire the G5 to the G3 with a FireWire cable. Put your iMac G5 in target mode. On your G3, open the STARTUP item (mine is in french and is called DEMARRAGE) in the Control Panel folder (in OS 9) or in the System Preference (in OS X). In the startup window, select the installation CD as your startup disk and restart your G3. The G3 should restart using the installation DVD, and will then proceed to the instalation.
I did it only once (and it worked). I installed TIGER from my iMac G5's internal DVD reader to my DVDless iMac G3. I don't have my FireWire cable to repeat it, so I gave you the procedure as I can recall it the better. I will have a FireWire cable soon and will be able to completely repeat the procedure if you need it.
Bonne chance (Good luck) !!!!

  • Tiger won't load in Target disc mode either!

    Have had the problem of many in that my G3 iBook won't load the DVD-even though it has a combo drive. Anyway, tried target disc mode on my Tiger installed iMac and still unsuccessful. I think it's the disc itself. The installation goes through the "checking DVD" protocol and then I get an error code. Any clue? I've got a reservation at the genius bar this afternoon at 3pm but would love to solve this one on my own if possible...

    It is possible that the combo drive is damaged or the BootX file already on the hard drive is having trouble. Have you backed up your data?

  • OS Tiger won't load store using itunes 9

    I know this issue has been brought up in other threads, but I can't seem to locate a fix. Has either Apple or someone out there in Apple land figured out how to get around the problem of not being able to download the correct version of Safari in order to use the itunes store. I am truly surprised Apple would suggest to Tiger users to download itunes 9.0 when it doesn't allow us to go the itunes store. I'd upgrade to Snow Leopard, but it won't work on my iBook G4. If there is a fix, please provide me the link. If Apple has offered an updated/download which fixes this problem, please provide the download link. Or, maybe this is still an ongoing problem.
    Thanks so much! Sorry for having to repeat a topic already mentioned.
    Michael

    This page gives you a choice to download Safari 4.0.3 for Leopard or for Tiger. http://www.apple.com/safari/download/

  • Some images won't load in Safari, iTunes, iBooks and App Store

    Since my upgrade to Mavericks, some images on Safari, iTunes, iBooks and App Store wont load some times. I can't figure out the source of problem, but I've tested all four apps and the same problem exists across all of them; I've also tested Chrome, Firefox and Opera to see if they are suffering from the same problem, and surprisingly enough I've found that they are not; They load images perfectly well, and I've never encountered one to not load images. I'm totally confused and frustrated, what is preventing Apple products to load images? Here are some screenshots:

    Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. Then try Safari/History/Show History and delete all history items.  Quit/reopen Safari and test. You can also try try Safari/Clear History and Web Site Data. The down side is it clears all cookies.Doing this may cause some sites to no longer recognize your computer as one that has visited the web site.

  • HT5557 I want to download a PDF document full of charts and graphics. Pages won't load it. Will ibooks?

    I have loaded Pages software on my ipad.
    I received a PDF document via email as an attachment which I wanted to save. It was a small document, but with lots of graphics, the ipad offered me no no option to store in Pages.
    What app could I download which the ipad would give as an option for storage from an email. Would ibooks do?
    I already have winzip, but that didn't show as an option.
    Any advice would be welcome. Thank you.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes iBooks will organise and display pdfs.

  • MBP won't load purchased books in iBooks Mavericks

    Downloads start but fail before completing.  The error message I get is "To try again, select Check for Available Downloads from the Store menu."
    I tried that and get "All updates and purchases have been downloaded for this Apple ID."
    Any ideas how to fix this?

    the iBooks 1.01 update did not fix it on my side - sorry

  • IPhoto Library Won't Load After 10.4.10 Combo Update (PPC)

    After updating to 10.4.10 on a G4 desktop the iPhoto library will no longer load. Tried several times to rebuilt it and program quits unexpectedly just as it finishes rebuild. Ran repair disk permissions from HD and Repair Disk from DVD and re-installed 10.4.9, but problem remains. Had some trouble importing the last few photos (downloaded from an e-mail) before this problem occured (possible it is not related to 10.4.10 upgrade?). Been everywhere looking for a way to solve this, but to no avail. Any suggestions?

    Hi, redwood. You had trouble with the emailed photos because they had been compressed by the sender using Stuffit (that's what the .sit suffix indicates), and you didn't unStuff them before importing them. I'm surprised that iPhoto was even willing to try to import them. It certainly couldn't have displayed them in that form.
    If you then trashed them and emptied the trash *within iPhoto*, I'm not sure why they should have continued to cause you trouble — but since I don't understand how they could have been imported in the first place, I wouldn't really expect to understand all the consequences.
    If, instead, you trashed them from within the iPhoto Library folder using the Finder, doing so corrupted your iPhoto Library database and necessitated a rebuild — which ordinarily produces better results than it apparently did in your case. Perhaps there were files left in the iPhoto Library folder that still referenced the files you deleted, and iPhoto didn't know how to handle references to files that weren't in an image format.
    Setting aside what we don't understand and may never understand, I suggest that you leave your present defective iPhoto Library just as it is for the moment, and try to determine whether the backup copy is usable. (Good for you for having one, by the way!):
    Connect or insert the drive or disc that contains the backup iPhoto Library folder. Start iPhoto while holding down the Option key, and continue to hold it down until you're asked whether you want to Create or Find a library. Choose Find, then navigate to the backup Library folder and click Open. If it opens normally and everything seems to be in order in it, simply replace the bad library folder inside your account's Pictures folder with a copy of the backup library folder, and you're back in business. It if doesn't open correctly, post back with details of what happened.
    Note that the only way to make a successful backup copy of your iPhoto Library is to copy the entire iPhoto Library folder *as a unit* to another storage volume (a volume is a hard drive, a partition on a hard drive that contains more than one partition, a CD, DVD, flash drive, or other storage medium). If your backup wasn't made this way, it won't be usable.
    EDIT: Well, I was busily churning out my long reply while you were solving the problem. I'm glad it turned out well.

  • IBook G4 won't load after latest security update, repair doesn't work?

    Hi I had the same problem as someone else in this forum:
    "Last night I saw that my ibook G4 wanted to do a security update. I told it to do it, and the ibook has not started since. It reset itself after downloaded, but it just stays on the booting up screen, never actually booting up so I can use it. After about two hours of trying to boot up, I turned it off, and on again, and it still wont boot.
    I really need suggestions as how I can fix it. Thanks

    HI,
    Ok... you need to boot from your install disk.
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    If you cannot boot from your install disk, try booting in Safe Mode
    Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck
    If you have the original hard drive in this iBook, it was probably a 60GB drive? When you can do this, check to see how much available disk space there is.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is better. Not enough available drive space can cause issues like you are experiencing.
    Carolyn "
    I tried restarting it after the repair (there were some things to repair and I tried to repair twice just to make sure it didn't miss anything) but it still won't load. It says its starting the OX system, but when the blue bar reaches the end, it doesn't do anything from there. I also left it on for hours and it did nothing. My mousepad still lets me move around the mouse, the caps lock key still lights up, as the num lock key. I tried safe mode but that won't load either...any other suggestions?

    *" I also left it on for hours and it did nothing. "*
    Your iBook needs to go in for repairs.

  • ITunes, app store, iBooks store, etc won't load and I can't figure out why. I tried rebooting and it didn't help. Everything else works fine. Help please?

    iTunes, app store , iBooks store, etc won't load and I don't know why. Everything else works fine, and I've rebooted it. The problem is still there and I know I have a good Internet connection. Help please?

    Have you tried disconnecting and re-connecting to your network ?. And when you say rebooted do you mean a reset ? If not then try that : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    You could also try closing those apps completely. From the home screen (i.e. not with any of those apps 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iTunes, App Store and iBooks apps to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

  • HT4059 I have ipod software version 4.2.1, but the iBooks app won't load onto my ipod touch 8GB. Why?

    As it says, the iBooks app refuses to load, even though my iOS version should be high enough. Any suggestions?

    The current version of the iBooks app that is in the store requires iOS 5+. Unless you downloaded a previous version of the app when it was compatible with iOS 4.2.1 and you still have it somewhere (on your computer or on a backup) then you won't be able to install iBooks (only the current version of each app is in the store)

  • TS1702 iBooks won't load PDF files any more on my Ipad2. Anybody seen this one before?

    Hello All,
    iBooks won't load PDF files any more.
    I have a lot of PDF files so I thought I reached a maximum number of files or space so I deleted a lot of old files but this did not help.
    I rebooted, synced, updated, restarted, etc. - everything that I can think of and I still have the same problem.
    I don't remembered the last file that I loaded into iBooks, as I usually put them into collections.
    I can still load PDF files into other applications like PDF Reader, but I prefer to have them all in iBooks.
    Anybody seen this one before?
    I have 64GB iPad2 and I have over 14GB free space.

    There have been several threads on this topic over the last few weeks. It's not clear what the issue is, and it is not universal, but tend to effect users storing large numbers of PDFs in iBooks. Possible it has some thing to dowith capacity of the app, or specific characteristics of some of the PDFs.

  • Game won't load with new quicktime?!

    After downloading the latest version of quicktime a game i've played with no problems for a couple of years (civilization III) suddenly won't load on my iBook (G4, os10.4 i think). Any suggestions? Can i uninstall without affecting other things? Or install an older version? Thus far it seems my only option is to buy the next version which seems a bit unfair given the other one was working just fine. Perhaps apple should be made to instigate a part-exchange to upgrade!!!

    Before doing anything drastic as an Archive & Install to move to a lower QT version, I suggest that you update your OS system first. According to your system info, you are using the basic Tiger version which is outdated.
    You should update your OS all the way up to the last Tiger version, use Software Update to install all the available updates that goes along w/your computer & the OS.
    Repair permissions & restart your computer.
