Upgrade from 10.4.11 (Tiger) to 10.5 using Leopard - ERROR

I am trying to upgrade from 10.4.11 (Tiger) to 10.5 using Leopard installation dvd disc.
error comes up when it cannot find a version 10.4x when i clearly know i am using 10.4

Does your disc look like *
If not, you are using the wrong disc.
Does it say Upgrade, DropIn, or OEM?
If it does, you are using the wrong disc.
Since your Mac is compatible with Snow Leopard, unless you have some pressing need to only be running Leopard, and not Snow Leopard, it is cheaper to upgrade to Snow Leopard with the regular retail box for Snow Leopard from the Apple Store. You do not need to buy the Box Set, nor do you need to buy Leopard to upgrade to Snow Leopard.
If you need Leopard for something not compatible in Snow Leopard, call Apple Support as they may still have the retail Leopard available. The online store does not, and only a few used and refurbished Mac shops still have the retail one available.

  • I upgraded from 10.4.11 to 10.5.0 using a drop in DVD and now I can't log in...

    I upgraded from 10.4.11 to 10.5.0 using a drop in DVD and now I can't log in...
    This was on a G5 imac. I tried booting to the DVD and resetting the password but this did not help.
    I did see the 2 user accounts still there when I reset the password so that gives me hope that my data is all there intact.
    I need help getting past this login screen PLEASE!    
    The login name is blank and I've tried everything to get past it.
    I heard from a tech that there was a problem when upgrading from 10.4.11 to 10.5.0 instead of the 10.5.3 or whatever, and it was a known issue when using the 10.5.0 disc to upgrade and he said that there was information on apple's site on what to do when this happens but I have not come accross this info as of yet.
    I would really appreciate any help anyone can give me.
    Thanks!!!

    OK I finally got passed the above problem by just trying to type it in over and over and over and it finally took!
    It seems as though I may have typed it wrong or misspelled something but I could swear I put it in the same way everytime!
    NOW...
    when I type : passwd username
    replacing username with the short name it says
    paddwd: Unknown user name 'username'
    someone told me that possibly the home folder is still there and intact but the login may have gotten trashed and that i may need to recreate the user login. Does that sound like a possibility?

  • Upgrading from Mac OS X 10.4.11 to use Hyperlapse.

    I have been advised that I need to upgrade to at least OS X 10.6 in order to access Hyperlapse.
    I am keen to do this as I also realise that things have moved on since and I perhaps ought to upgrade in any case.
    My questions are these:
    Will I still be able to use imovie 06HD and all the other applications in that version of ilife?
    Can I easily upgrade to OS X 10.6 in one step?

    It's easy to upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard from Tiger. Also, all the applications you have mentioned will work in Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
    Buy Mac OS X Snow Leopard in the Apple Online Store > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard Then, make a backup of your data manually or with Carbon Copy Cloner, insert the DVD and upgrade.
    After upgrading, open  > Software Update, and install the most recent Snow Leopard version and other updates

  • Upgrade from Bootcamp 3.0 to 3.1 does not work - error 2229

    Hi,
    I´m running Snow Leopard and Win7 on my MBP 2008, each at 250GB HDD space. I installed both together. Before, I had Win Vista and Mac OSX Tiger installed and hardware worked in both OS´s. But I had to exchange my HDD and install everything from scratch. Ever since, I can´t use right click on Trackpad or Bluetooth properly in Win 7. In Snow Leopard, everything works fine.
    I found out a couple of different ways trying to fix this, but nothing worked. Now I found the hint to install this here http://trackpad.powerplan7.com/ but this requires the previous installation of Bootcamp 3.1. Problem is that I have Bootcamp 3.0 installed (with bugs, as said before - meaning trackpad etc. is not working properly).
    Anything I try fails - I can´t install single drivers from Bootcamp CD (it says it worked, but nothing happens), I can´t upgrade to Bootcamp 3.1 (still the error "2229")...
    So I´m lost at the moment and try to always have an external mouse with me, that´s USB connected.
    Does anyone here know better ?
    Thx,
    Simon

    I dontknow if this will help you or not, ut back when the BootCamp v3.1 update came out, there were a number of people who could not get it to install. For many of them it was that they had a third-party software installed which added a display-adapter to their system (LogMeIn, etc.) If you have anything like that installed, try un-installing it first, then reboot, and try the bootcamp install. If that works, then you can easily re-install the other software again (although you may need to uninstall it again fr the next bootcamp update).

  • Wanting to upgrade from Mac OS X Panther (10.3.9) to Leopard

    Hello,
    I am wondering if it is possible to upgrade from 10.3.9 to 10.5.4(Leopard), and if so how. I have tried to install 10.5.4 by bypassing 10.4 (Tiger). Now I have an old iBook G4 laptop.
    Any help would be most appreciated.

    Barrie
    The others have advised you how to do it, but before you do, I would very strongly recommend that you make a complete bootable backup of your existing hard drive in the iBook.
    You should use an application such as Carbon Copy Cloner to make the backup, to an external FireWire hard drive.
    The size, measured in Gb, of the external drive should be the total size of the hard drive in your iBook, plus at least an extra 20% (the extra space is needed so that that cloned copy can be configured and organised on the external drive.)
    Once you have made this bootable backup and tested it by restarting the iBook from the external drive, then with complete peace of mind you can go ahead and install Leopard on the iBook. All of your existing documents files, etc. are safely backed up to the external drive.
    I hope this helps.

  • What is the easiest way to upgrade from OS X 10.4.11 to 10.5 Leopard

    what is the easiest way to upgrade from OS X 10.4.11 to 10.5 Leopard

    You should consider this:
    Here are the minimum specs your Mac will need to run Leopard, according to Apple:
    Intel, G5, or 867MHz+ G4 processor
    512 megs of RAM MINIMUM (though if you only have 512 megs of RAM you may actually find you need more.)
    DVD drive (Leopard is shipping on a DVD, and your Mac needs to read it to be able to install it)
    9GB of free disk space
    Hope this helps

  • After upgradation from Oracle 9i to Oracle 10g,one proc is throwing error

    recently upgraded from Oracle 9i to Oracle 10g. We have some Oracle procedures which are not working in Oracle 10g.
    A section of code from one of the procedures looks somewhat like the code below:
    Declare
    Cursor c_matched_records (…..) is
    Select a.field 1, b.field2
    From table1 a, table2 b
    Where a.field3=b.field1
    FOR UPDATE;
    BEGIN
    For records in c_matched_records
    LOOP
    -- Continue processing
    -- Update records
    COMMIT;
    END LOOP;
    END;This section of the code throws out the following error in Oracle 10g
    ORA-01002: fetch out of sequence during PUT outputFile file
    However this code was working fine in Oracle 9i.
    please help me with this?
    Thanks

    I believe you are lucky that the pl/sql is okay in Oracle 9i. How about remove the commit statement? Why do you need it in the loop. I look up metalink. You may refer to article ID 257914.1

  • If upgrade from CS2 to CS 3 can I still use GoLive ?

    If I upgrade from CS2 to CS3 with Dreamweaver, can I still use/run GoLive to maintain existing GoLive files for a time, until I make the transition ?, or once I install CS3 I need to transition right quick ?
    thanks if anyone knows the answer to this ... Laura

    > In my case, once I installed and activated CS3 my CS2 apps stopped working. Was GL CS2 excluded from this shutdown?
    What do you mean by stopped working? Did you get an error message when launching the apps?

  • Tehnical upgrade from 4.6C MDMP to ECC 6.0 using CU &UC approach

    Hi SAP Experts,

    Please share with me the Best Practices you followed in your projects, checklists, DOs, DONTs, typical problems you encountered and the possible safeguards, any other useful information, etc.
    Since very little information is available from Organizations who have used this upgrade successfully, I am raising this in SDN to share your experiences during the Technical upgrade.
    All useful information will be surely awarded with suitable points.
    Looking for your invaluable inputs which will be a BIG help for our project.

  • Upgrade from 3.0 to 3.1 new user password reset error

    hello, we upgraded from 3.0 to 3.1 last friday and have come across the following issue: New users being required to change their password for the first log in are receiving an error message:
    (Error: Item "P50_USER_NAME" was not displayed because the HTML form was not yet opened.Error: Item "P50_ENTER_CURRENT_PASSWORD" was not displayed because the HTML form was not yet opened.Error: Item "P50_PASSWORD" was not displayed because the HTML form was not yet opened.Error: Item "P50_CONFIRM_PASSWORD" was not displayed because the HTML form was not yet opened.Error: Item "P50_SESSION" was not displayed because the HTML form was not yet opened. )
    This is occuring with existing applications as well as with a newly created application (after the upgrade). Also, what's interesting is that if you log directly into apex (the screen with the workspace login, etc....it works fine and directs you to a different URL. Obviously our users wouldn't be accessing this url.) here's the 2 urls just so you can see the application/page differences (4155/50 verses 4350/68)
    This is the URL that end-users are being directed to which shows the error:
    /f?p=4155:50:3096404055109898::NO::P50_SESSION,FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL:2551476413459584,f?p=114
    This is the URL that is working when logging into apex directly:
    /f?p=4350:68:984059594353829
    Looks like it has something to do with #form_open# and the template/theme? Any suggestions on how to fix?
    Also, I uploaded an application to apex.oracle.com and it works fine there.
    I've searched the documentation and the forum and didn't come up with anything.
    Thanks for the help!! Melissa

  • Wireless internet speeds slower after upgrading from 10/2 to 50/25?? Using olders revision Mi424WR.

    We have been using the oldest version/revision of the Actiontec Mi424WR router provided by verizon for 3+ years.  Recently we upgraded from an outdated 10/2 internet plan to our current 50/25 wireless plan.  The speeds when wired are fantastic, but with wireless, on multiple computers the speed even right next to the router hovers at about 10mbps.  I understand about the degradation and limit of wireless signals, but we should absolutely be getting higher download speeds than 10mbps(~1Mb/s).  On our older 10/2 mbps plan our devices were receiving consistant download speeds of higher than we are getting now, maxing out at 1.6Mb/s usually.  The only change that has been made recently is we reset the router to fatory settings, leading me to believe that wireless settings that were in place before are no longer there and throttling wireless speeds.  I do not expect to get the full 50+ mbps speed that I am getting from wired, but I do expect my wireless speeds to be consistent with our upgraded plan(let alone slower than our massively slower old plan).  Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    You should definetely get better speeds even with an older router, upto about 20 or so. 
    If that works for you, then it's probably just a little wireless interference.   
     you can change that in the router.   open a browser, and go to http://192.168.1.1
    user name is admin.  and the password is most likely the serial number found on the service tag of your VZ router unless you changed it. Once you login succesfully, go to the top and hit wireless, then on the left basic security.   then go to option 3 which is channel  1, 6 and 11 and are the only channels you should try.
    So it will likely be set to auto, change it to 11 and put the check for keep settings even after reboot (Directly under the channel) and then hit apply.  after you hit apply,  test your connection out, if you notice a difference, leave it like that until the problem happens again, and if it happens again, go back into the router, and try channel 6,     test it out.  and then finally 1 if the first two don't work.
    Also take a look at page 2 of Actiontec's Wireless PDF File.  It gives you some idea's with regards to position and orientation of where the router sits and how it can best be positioned for maximum coverage.

  • Synching between machine using Tiger OS and machine using Leopard.

    I have a MacBook, (os Tiger), and an IMac (os Leopard.) I have a Maxtor One Touch mini drive. I want to synch the "Documents" folder between the two, (I'm a writer and work from one to the other computer.) The client agent software that came with the Maxtor doesn't seem to work on the IMac. It does not see the Maxtor drive at all. I wonder if it's because Time Machine grabs the external device and greedily holds on to it?

    I have the EXACT same situation. Same computer setup and same external drive. I also have a .Me account and that perhaps that might be the trick (is that possible?). Has anyone had any success syncing using any application to sync doc folders? (I already use Time Machine to backup my iMac).

  • Upgrading from 10.4.11 'Tiger' to Leopard

    Hi, I have a mac running on 10.4.11 and someone bought my daughter 'iLife 09' as a Christmas Present but we cannot install it unless we have Leopard Software. Is there anyway to 'upgrade' to Leopard without having to go out and buy a whole new Snow Leopard Software package. I took the iLife 09 back to the apple store to get a refund - because I thought I might as well just buy the new Snow Leopard as it is included in this - but as it had been opened (my daughter tried to install it) they would not give a refund. So if I can upgrade at a relatively low cost to Leopard, then I can install iLife so it won't have gone to waste. Can anyone advise? Apple told me to ring one of the London stores and ask for the 'Archive' department, but I'm sure I read somewhere that it is possible to upgrade online. Look forward to hearing from .... someone ... ?! Thanks. Shona

    Alternatively you can purchase the Apple Boxed Set at $169 USD that contains iLife, iWork, Leopard, and Snow Leopard.
    AFAICT, the boxed set doesn't contain a separate Leopard installer, only Snow Leopard, which may not work on the iMac in question. Apple's phone sales is the only Apple outlet for the retail Leopard installer—$129 USD.
