Trying to install OS 10.4 from OS 10.2.8

System is a G4 Power PC 10.2.8, with 256mb RAM, 28 GB hardrive with 26GB remaining. I have an Apple DVD (black) instal disk, when I try to install I get the screen to click to install and it says to restart system to start installation which I did. But, it boots back to the same basic screen as if I just put the disk in. This happens even when I boot from disk (holding c key). I've already repaired disk permissions with no errors.

Does your install DVD look like this. What markings are on the DVD?
Look at this link Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger Installing Software Support Page
http://www.apple.com/support/tiger/install/
You can also download the Tiger Installation and Setup Guide
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/TigerInstall_SetupGuide.pdf
When you upgrade the OS, do it via Archive & Install. See About the Archive and Install feature http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710
Be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings. Also, repair permissions before and after the install.
After you install the base 10.4.x, update to the final Tiger version 10.4.11. Here's the link for the 10.4.11 combo update http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Tiger is going to run slow with only 256MB RAM. You need to increase RAM to at least 512MB.
 Cheers, Tom

    I am getting error 205 while trying to install Creative Cloud. I already had chated with support, Uninstalled CC and tried to install it again. From the Adobe site, the page keeps loading eternally, from the previous installer, it gives me error 205. What to do? Give up on CC?
    This is not the first time I get it, and it seems a recurring problem.

    Milliet are you on a managed network?  If not then please see Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html for information on how to resolve error 205.

  • I'm trying to install Windows 7 Professional From Authentic Discs.

    I'm trying to install Windows 7 Professional From Authentic Discs. I'm using BootCamp 3.0 on my Mac. I see there is a BootCamp 3.2 for Windows 64-bit, but it downloads an .exe that doesn't run on my Mac. Question - will Bootcamp 3.0 install Windows 7 Professional or do I need to upgrade to 3.2? It seems like the 3.2 download is for a Windows based machine. How do I get it so that Bootcamp on my Mac (Macbook Pro 17" 2009) recognizes and lets me install Windows 64 Pro?

    Only one small thing I can think of, so let me run this by you:
    You have genuine discs, but does any of these have the word "UPGRADE"  block-printed on them?
    If so, BCA might be balking at this alone.  These discs also have a different internal label than "full packaged product" copies.  As such, Apple does not endorse their use unless upgrading a live installation.
    Nevertheless, you should still be able to boot from an upgrade medium as from a full product; the difference being that the upgrade will face an additional test on the Product Key to verify that it was used on a machine that had Windows already.  For now, the test cares nothing about whether the upgrade was over Vista or the same/lower tier of 7, so you can install your upgrade once without a key, and then once more entering the key you received.
    That said, hold the C key with the disc inserted in your SuperDrive. snd continue holding C until you get flashed by a black screen in the act of starting Windows.  Let go of said key, and press on through the install.  You may also need the Mac boot menu, accessible with the Option key at startup, to get back to Windows after rebooting each of 3 times.
    When Windows asks for the Product Key, don't enter it yet. Also, do not allow Windows to activate online automatically.  Do nothing but set up your user account(s) at this time.
    Run Setup once more, this time from within the installed Windows, and choose to upgrade.  It'll take quite a bit longer, but on this run, you can enter your key.  Set up the Boot Camp software next; and finally, complete activation.
    Good luck,
    Nate

  • Trying to install an Adobe program from CC (CC is on a network drive)

    So I will try to explain this the best that I can.  Under our Adobe license we have enough to cover all of the computers in our facilities.  When we re-image computers it installs the basic Adobe programs that we need but some of the staff need other ones that we have access to but we install them on an as needed basis.
    And this is where the problem arises.  Most of the time we install programs from the remote desktop rather than going from office to office for convenience but whether we are in the office or over remote desktop we have been noticing that the programs will not install.  We have the Creative Cloud install files on a network drive that we use for all of our other installs of Adobe programs but it seems that the ones in Creative Cloud just won't install.
    To be more specific today we were trying to install InCopy and the installer would start, then it would prompt that it is going to need an update that would restart the system which we continued with, but then the progress bar would fill all the way and then the dialog box would disappear and nothing else would happen or the progress bar would go back down and then the dialogue box would go away.  I do not usually install Adobe products but a coworker of mine that has been working with this problem says that it is all across the board when it comes to install anything in the Creative Cloud folder.
    They say that it might have to do something with an update needed for Adobe that it just isn't installing or one within the Windows system; although I don't think that is the case since we are trying to install on different Windows OS machines (Windows 7 32/64 bit, Windows 8 64 bit, Windows 8.1 64 bit).
    So I was wondering if anyone could shed any light on the subject or if anyone had any fixes.

    Hi Jonathan,
    You would need to user Adobe creative cloud packager which creates an installation package and deploy to users machines. i assume, you are installing Adobe creative cloud desktop app from a network drive which is not recommended.

  • Trying to install Photoshop CC 2014 from inside Craetive Cloud panel and my antivirus says it has a Trojan file in it and it won't install

    I am trying to update and install Photoshop CC 2014 from the Creative Cloud panel and my antivirus stops the installation and says the setup file and a droplet file have a trojan within them.  The Trojan.Win32.Generic.pak!cobra is quarantined in my antivirus program.  I can't believe others are not having this same issue!  What do I do now?

    Anti-malware software nowadays has a lot of heuristic behaviors - meaning it's probably not definitively detecting a virus, but spotting something it thinks smells vaguely like one.  It's a transition (from hard detection to heuristics) that's been happening in recent years all across the anti-malware industry and a lot of folks are caught off guard by it.  It's possible your antivirus software maker simply needs time to assimilate reports of false positives and make an exception for Adobe's software.
    Considering that Adobe probably does some pretty tricky things to ensure people can't easily steal their software, that it is detected acting in a manner attributed normally to malware becomes a bit less surprising.  But I don't think there's a virus in it.
    Adobe does recommend stopping your antivirus software before installing.

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    *Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install

  • Trying to install all my MP3s from new external drive back into iTunes

    Hi,
    I'm hoping anyone can help me out here...
    I had a major PC upset and have had to rebuild it from scratch (with the help of Dell Tech Support!).
    I've now downloaded and installed latest version of iTunes and I'm trying to reload all of my (thankfully) saved MP3s, still in their relevant folders etc, from my external HD back into iTunes.
    Despite all attempts, it isn't happening!
    Short of having to 'open with' (Tunes) each and every single file, can anyone help with how I can do this?
    Thanks in advance for all help offered!

  • Im trying to install back my purchase from Mac App and i get this Msg:

    The Product distribution file could not verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
    Can someone pls HELP. Thank you

    Installing the OS X Lion Update 10.7.4 (Client Combo) reinstalls the App Store for you which may help the Product distributioon error.
    Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.
    It's ok to do this even though your Mac is already running v10.7.4.
    If you are trying to re download a previously purchased app...
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed  then click Install.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

  • Trying to install Windows 8.1 from an ISO, but boot camp assistant doesn't seem to recognize

    Hi there,
    I have a 2011 Macbook pro, 15", 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB RAM. I'm wanting to install windows 8.1 using boot camp assistant, and downloaded windows 8.1 from dreamspark (Microsoft store for students). I have downloaded all of the windows support software onto a USB, and there is a folder sitting on my desktop containing the .ISO for windows 8.1. However, when i try to run boot camp assistant, it says that the installer disc could not be found, and does not give me an option to install from a selectable .ISO. Can anyone help me with this? Is it something obvious I'm missing? Thanks!

    Upgrading from iPhoto 8 to iPhoto 9 requires a purchase. There are two ways to get to iPhoto 9: 
    1 - purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com or eBay.com.
    2 - if your MBP meets the requirements upgrade you system for free to Mavericks.  Then you can purchase the latest iPhoto version, 9.5.1, from the App Store.

    I'd try un-then-reinstalling and making sure any overlay that you're applying (update of SDKs, etc.) are done correctly.
