Trying to update from os 9.2 to os 10.4.10

Help wanted! Just found an imac g3 power pc, 700 mhzk, 1 gig of ram installed with os 9.2. Found 9.2 software and reinstalled it, also updated to firmware 4.1.9 successfully. Tried installing os 10.4.10 via firewire using my imac g5 power pc in target disk mode but i get a message saying cannot install this software. Everywhere i look on the internet people have done this successfully, am i missing a step or something?

Hi abe17fcp!
Mac OS X Versions 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5, are complete system upgrades that must be purchased.
Once an OS has been installed, 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), 10.4.x to 10.4.11 (Pending), and 10.5.x to 10.5.1 (Pending), can be downloaded for free.
Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
If your Mac meets the Leopard System Requirements. Leopard 10.5.x, can also be purchased at The Apple Store (U.S.).
Jaguar and Panther, are no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Leopard 10.5.x, is the most up to date OS.
If you know what to look 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 be purchased, sometimes less expensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, FastMac, HardCore Mac, AllMac, 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 exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.
Additional info in these links.

Caveat Emptor!
If any are presently available, examine these items very carefully, and if in doubt, ask questions of the seller before purchase!
Jaguar On eBay
Panther On eBay
Tiger On eBay
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.
Also check to see if your Mac model, is listed in this KB Article OS X Must Be Installed On First -8GB Partition.
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 Tiger System Requirements, you could also consider installing that, and then use the PPC 10.4.11 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
Intel 10.4.11 Combo Update
Note System Requirements for this Combo Update.
"Mac OS X 10.4.4 or later
Intel-based Macintosh"
If Leopard 10.5.x is installed, use the Mac OS X 10.5.1 Update.
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.
Review these KB Articles, for the Panther System Requirements, and the Additional Panther System Requirements.
Additionally, Tiger 10.4.x ships on a DVD, so if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you will have to use an alternative method of installation.
Info here Installing Tiger Using Firewire Target Disk Mode.
And here Installing Tiger Without A DVD Drive.
The Tiger Media Exchange Program, referred to, is no longer available.
Shop Carefully, Examine All Documentation, And I Wish You Success!

I have a Iphone4. Trying to update from 4.3.3 to IOS 5 or 6. There is no 'Update Software' button under Utilities/General. Tried updating using Itunes but it comes up 'The Iphone software update server cannot be contacted' ????

iOS 4.3.3 doesnt have the "Update your Software" tab so you will need to go to itunes and back up your iphone then restore your iphone and it will download the latest iphone software (6.1.4) if you dont want 6.1.4 download your current version and hit shift on your keyboard (alt if your on Mac I think) and click restore iphone and find your downloaded software 4.3.3 then download iOS 5 or 6 and do the samething after your phone boots up from restoring it to 4.3.3.

Trying to update from Mac OSX 10.7.2 to 10.7.4 via the Updater. Update Not Verified?

Trying to update from Mac OSX 10.7.2 to 10.7.4 via the Updater. Getting a message half way through the download stating the updated "could not be verified. It may have been corrupted during downloading." Any ideas for picking up the latest Update?
Uploading screenshot.... any advice appreciated.
Matt

Either try redownloading or try downloading the standalone updater: OS X Lion Update 10.7.4 (Client Combo).
Such errors may be caused by glitches in your Internet connection or because of hard drive problems. I suggest you try the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

I'm trying to update from Snow Leopard 10.6.8. to Lion. After buying Lion, it won't install

I'm trying to update from Snow Leopard 10.6.8.. I reviewed the specifications and I meet them. So I went ahead and bought Lion 10.7.2 Update Combo. Apparently I need 10.7.(which no longer exists).. So I downloaded 10.7.1 and I received the same message I received from the first download. I've checked several other posts about this, and each and every solution tells me that I need to buy it(upgrade) and make sure specifications have been met. Can someone help?

Hey guys! "Kappy" and "AnaMusic" I don't think you guys read my post, which makes me think that your posts to try and answer my question are automated. If you're not automated, you're more concerned about points and less concerned about helping me. Both of your solutions are point to obviousness my problem rather than solve it. Thanks.. In fact I'm pretty sure I saw these same two adjacent posts in several other support questions.
I can assure you that neither of their posts are "automated", and they are not here soley to accumlate points. They have helped many people in the past.
Now I read your post completely as I'm sure the others did, and I have a few questions. I installed Lion the day it was released, so I didn't have to download any combo. I thought you just went to the app store, bought Lion and it gave you the latest update, apparently that is not the case. When you went to the app store and purchased Lion, downloaded it, and then installed it, are you able to use Lion at all. Please describe in detail and I'm sorry if it will be redundant.
Also, everyone is here to help, don't burn any bridges by making false accusations towards users in here, it wont get you far.

What do you mean you're in the process of "downloading the installer for 10.7.3"? If you mean the software update combo, you won't be able to use that to go from 10.7.4 to 10.7.3. The only way you could do that is to reinstall the whole OS from the App Store IF that version is 10.7.3. I don't know if the App store Lion installer includes 10.7.4 already, but if it does, you can't get to 10.7.3 at all.
As for what you do about your slow machine, there are tips all over the internet. I wrote up some of the basic one's to try here:
http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/12/05/why-is-my-mac-running-so-slow/
Other possibilities not mentioned there are either a corrupt install of Lion (solution; re-install from the Recovery disk) or hardware failure (old hard disks and other hardware components can sometimes give out there last after the strain of a new install).

Did you add or change your credit card details when downloading it ? If so then it's probably a store holding charge which should disappear within the a few days (though as it's now the weekend it may take a day or two longer) : store holding charges.

I'm just trying to update from 3.5.8 to the latest version. Started on the website and it downloaded a desktop image only, no application. Then tried on Firefox to update under "Help". It's been spinning for an hour! Help. I just want the latest version

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 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

I have tried to update from Leopard to Snow Leopard using disk. New OS wouldn't load and now laptop won't start at all

I have tried to update from Leopard to Snow Leopard using disk. New OS wouldn't load and now laptop won't start at all. Simply get the Apple logo and the clock below and then after about 10 mins the laptop switched itself off. The Snow Leopard disk is a brand new family edition. Error message when attempting to install was that "this software cannot be installed on this disk".

Thanks Fred, but I've tried '''ALL''' that already.
I '''THINK''' I might have found the problem - the Profiles folder has been locked by inherited properties from the levels above. I have had to go all the way up to my User folder and reset ALL the properties from there down to be unlocked so that I could remove the prefs.js file so that it could be recreated on the next launch of FF. Exactly why my User folder is locked in such a way as to stop me/FF making changes when I have been able to alter preferences at will in the past, I don't know ...
So far, so good. I have since done a complete shutdown and when I restarted this morning, FF seems to be behaving itself ...

Trying to update from os 1.1.5 for a gen 1 ipod touch to os 3.1.1 but keep receiving an err 8288 message?

I have tried mutiple times to update to the 3.1.1 os for my Gen 1 ipod touch from the 1.1.5 os but keep receiveing an err 8288 message. I paid the one time 4.99 fee to download the os from ithe itunes store but the error message persists. HELP!

Any word on this fix yet? Kicking myself in the @#$ for not checking ALL issues with downloading the updated software. I am trying to update to the iOS 3, with no avail. I have the 2.2.1 - thinking that i could update it and give it to my child. Do you think the store can help? I don't want to pay $40-$50 through apple support to get my $4.95 back. I am by no means computer literate, so the firmware (3rd party) is sitting on my computer waiting for me to do something.
If anyone comes up with the latest and greatest help, that would be just fine.
