Upgrade Tiger 10.4

Hi all,
i bought Tiger 10.4 one year ago,
Can i upgrade it for free?? till which version ?? 10.4.?
Where and how ??
Many Thanks...

... Oh ..! Voila ma question cher "a brody",
apres l'installation de 10.4.10 , j'ai eu ce problem :
a chaque fois que je fais une action (comme par exemple ecrire un text, appuyer sur un botton, utilizer la barre horizontale ou verticale ...), je n'arrive pas a voire le resultat de ce que j'ai fait ...
Seulement si je change le "size" de la fenetre de Safari je vois ce que j'ai deja fait ...
Voila un exemple pratique : Je suis maintenant entraine de vous ecrire ce message, alors que je suis PAS capable de voire les letters que j'ecris... je tappe 3 ou 4 mots, je vais au coin a droite et en bas pour "resize" la fenetre de safari, alors en ce cas je vois ce que je viens de tapper ....
Si je veux appuiyer sur un botton... j'appuis, je vois RIEN qui change, alors si je "resize" la fenetre de safari, je serai capable de voir ...
et ainsi a chaque fois je fait n'importe quoi ...
(en effet j'ai besoin de deux souris (mouses) une pour controller la data dans la fenetre, et l'autre pour changer le volume de la fenetre...Je rigole... pour ne pas demander de moi cette fois d'ecrire en espaniole!!)...
Merci bien pour tous...

Just upgraded Tiger to Leopard. Clarisworks not supported. I can successfully convert CW4.0 doc's to AW6.0 doc's using MacLink Plus Deluxe but the problem is I than cannot print them or convert to PDF, either.

If I was trying to get someone else to do my work,
I wouldn't be posting this saying what I have said
would I? I'm not unwilling to do the work myself.From what was stated in your OP, it seemed that you
were.I'm sorry if it seemed that way. I don't want something for nothing. I've spent MANY hours, which I don't have, trying to work this out. I have hit a point where I don't think my expertise is going to solve the problem. That's why I've turned to some experts who might say something along the lines of, "Hey, I know what that is...you're compiling against... and on the Unix box, it's compiling against..." I was NOT looking for something like, "See the code below that fixes your problem."
The only problem is that I don't have direct access
to the sun unix machines I'm running the app on,
so I can't run a profiler on it. Ah, okay. So the only knowledge you have of how it
performs on those machines is from your instructor
running it and then telling you how long it took?No. I can SSH into the servers and run the program from a command line. But I wouldn't be able to install any profiler programs.
You could ask your prof to run it with -Xprof or
-Xhprof or whatever. Or you could put in a bunch of
timing statements to get a rough idea of which parts
are making it take that extra 39 minute or whatever.is -Xprof a java command line option? If so, I will look into doing that. Maybe it's available on the machines at school. Thanks for that input.

Do I have the correct Leopard disc? Can't upgrade Tiger

When Snow Leopard came out, I decided to upgrade my Tiger software to (regular) Leopard. (I can't make the leap to SL because not all of my programs are SL-compatible.) Tiger came on my Intel dual core iMac, and I've faithfully updated it to 10.4.11. I purchased a Leopard disc from HardcoreMac.com for $75, with the assurance that it would upgrade any Tiger Mac to Leopard. Upon trying to upgrade, the disc says it can't find Tiger on my computer . Looking closely at the DVD, it says "CPU Drop-in DVD." I've read varying accounts of trouble with these discs--that they only work with certain computers--but the ReadMe files on the disc itself say that it will indeed upgrade Tiger.
I'm not looking to do a clean install, just an upgrade. Do I have the right disc or did I get ripped off? It's a black disc, not a gray one. At this point, I'm pretty confused by all that I've read online, and just need a clear answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've read that Apple advises against downgrades; are there any problems I should anticipate?
Backup your data first at least twice*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
A downgrade generally has difficulty if the wrong drivers get downgraded, and corresponding applications don't get downgraded together.
It is safer to:
1. Erase and install 10.4.
2. Apple the 10.4.10 combo intel update:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10410comboupdatev11intel.html
3. Restore the prebundled applications. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61802
4. Apply the updates to the prebundled applications to match the operating system of 10.5 you plan to run. http://support.apple.com/downloads/
5. Run the 10.5 Update from the disc you purchased.
6. Restore your backup of your user data.

Mail no longer working after upgrade Tiger to Leopard

I know that there are some reports out there on the Internet but I can not find a solution that I trust. i upgraded from Tiger to Leopard and ever since my Mail program has completely disappeared. it is no longer in the dock, it is no longer in the applications folder and I went into the Mac Harddrive and found i. I dragged the icon on the dock and when I now start Mail the bar on top of the screen shows me that it started, but no windows come up. Under File most options are grey. i can see that all my mailboxsettings are still there. I have Entorage 2004 as my default mailprogram, but that gave never problems in the past and I use Mail for my google account. Under View in the menu almost everything is grey.
can someone help please? thanks so much.

In addition the article cited, if you ran 10.3 or earlier prior to upgrading to Tiger, once-upon-a-time, you might also need to remove two files with MessageSorting in their names.

Upgrading Tiger 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard

I have Tiger 10.4.11 on my 06' Mac Mini and tried to upgrade to the Snow Leopard Mac Box Set I bought but the disc would not install successfully. Any hints?

Your hardware probably doesn't meet the minimum system requirements for 10.6.
10.5 should work fine on it though.

Upgrading Tiger 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard...how do I back up everything first

I'm going to be upgrading to Snow Leopard, but I'm concerned about backing everything up. I just got an external drive but I don't know what to do to get all of my files onto it before upgrading just in case the upgrade loses all my docs and pics. Should I be creating an image disk? Any pointers?
Also, will this wipe applications I have previously loaded like MS Office and Rosetta Stone?

Basically you need to partition your drive to GUID, then format to Mac Extended. You do both of these with Disk Utility. Then you need to clone your internal drive to the external drive.

Cloning And Backup Tools
A bootable clone is an exact copy of your drive which is capable of booting your computer. Making a copy of your computer which is capable of actually starting the computer requires special copying procedures. Some people just back up data files but if you have problems you have to reinstall all your operating system and all your applications. With a bootable clone you just start up from the backup drive and clone back everything.

How to upgrade Tiger and install iLife without a hi-speed connection?

I recently sold my 17" iMac G4 to an internet buyer who wants to edit movies. The last thing I did was reinstall Tiger, erasing all of my files to provide the buyer with a clean slate. First, I'm not sure whether this installation would include iLife and, if so, which version? I included with the computer a Tiger disc and iLife '06. The buyer loves the machine but writes that it tells her she can't install iLife '06 without upgrading her version Tiger, which requires a high-speed connection.
Is she interpreting things correctly? Is there any way to download the Tiger upgrades if you don't have DSL or cable? If not, is there any way to install iLife '06 in lower (earlier) versions of Tiger?
(Finally, might I have cause to breathe somewhat easier knowing that she has at least some version of iLife as a result of my installing the original Tiger?)
Thanks for any tips that I might pass on to a truly grateful buyer and new Apple convert,
Cap

If she has a friend, library, internet cafe with a BB connection, even a PC, she can get the Updates from apple>downloads without Software Update, then use a CD or memory stick to take to her computer.
You could download all the updates, burn em to a CD/DVD and mail it to her!?

Mac Box Set necessary to upgrade Tiger?

I have a MacBook Pro running on Tiger 10.4.11. My system won't allow basic updates (Safari, iTunes, Firefox, etc) until I
upgrade the system. I wasn't aware of this before. Now I'm behind 3 upgrades, making things tougher(?) I guess the route
to go is to buy the Mac Box Set(?) But Apple doesn't sell it anymore so if I buy it from Amazon, etc. I am assuming I need a
New, unused version - otherwise my computer will see it being "licensed" to another computer? Also, before I do that I
would like to give my computer a fresh start. Once I backup files and docs I'm wondering if it would help to Reinstall the
Tiger disc to restore it to original settings? Would that clean off any unknown/unwanted apps and such and create a better
base before installing the upgrade? Does that make sense? And third, it sounds too good to be true, to install a disc and
Voila! the system is upgraded. Is it that simple or what issues could there be? Thanks for any help!
P.S. My system meets the upgrade requirements and has plenty of space.

It looks like Snow Leopard is still available at least in the Apple online store. You can get the box set and do the upgrade from that. What you should do is a complete backup to an external drive, using, say, SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner, or even the Restore option in Disk Utility (see Disk Utility help for details) to create a clone of your HD.
Then just do the upgrade from the install disks, then sort out any problems as they occur, knowing that you have the cloned backup that can get you back to ground zero if you need it.

Upgrade tiger to leopard

Hello,
I just bought a new imac with tiger and I am wondering if apple will upgrade to leopard for free. If I had known that they come now I would have waited. Anyone knows the policy of apple in this regard
thanks
sigi

In the past, people who bought Macs between the date of the announce of the new OS release date, and the actual release date, have been eligible for a free or low-cost upgrade. So if that continues, it looks like you bought your new Mac a little to early to qualify. Moreover, Apple is under no obligation to continue the old free upgrade policy at all.

UPGRADE TIGER TO LEOPARD WITHOUT LOSING FILES?

Message was edited by: You Got Pwnd

Hi You Got.....,

Hope that helps

I have upgraded Tiger to Snow Leopard to restore MacbookPro for space will i have to re-upgrage

I have recently upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard, however I wish to restore my MacBookPro . When it restores, will I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard again? Hope this make Sense

If you use the original installation disks which shipped with your computer, then it will install Tiger (10.4). However, if you use your Snow Leopard disk and do a clean install it will put you at 10.6.0 or 10.6.3 (depending when the disk was purchased, then simply use Software Update to update to the latest copy of Snow Leopard. Using the SL disk you can completely wipe your MBP and freshly install a copy of SL.

Prep. Questions for Upgrading Tiger- Snow Leopard for Iphone 4.

Hi,
Like everyone else, I failed to realized iphone 4 was not tiger compatible. Regardless of my carelessness, and my ill-feelings towards Apple for this strange move, I have a few questions that I keep getting mixed answers to and would like to finally clear some of them up. I sincerely hope someone can help me, I've been using my phone for about 2 weeks now with no contacts/apps/previous data, and the longer I wait, the more it's grating on my feelings.
Background:
I have many applications on my computer, like the adobe suite, games, ect. that I am worried about making the transfer. So far, no one seems to be able to tell me what is going to happen to them when/if I upgrade. I do not have the keys for the adobe suite anymore..... could this seriously screw me?
2) I've purchased the simple, $50 family pack snow leopard install discs. Again, I'm planning on jumping from 10.4.11 to whatever comes pre-installed on those discs. My computers specs meet the requirements for snow leopard, so, Is there any problem with this? Sources online say I'm AOK, and only after I bought it from apple and bring it home do they tell me (as I called to ask about backing up my hd) that I can't use this, that I need the box set with Iwork and Ilife.
My frustration rises
I just really need someone to help clear this up for me before I accidently fatally lose everything on my computer because I was given false information.
3) Incase I do totally bomb this, I'm attempting to make a copy of my harddrive to my external through Disc Utilities.
Say I do upgrade successfully to Snow Leopard, but the Adobe Software is lost, would I be able to restore my computer back to this current Tiger state from my external?
4)Is it just not possible to run Snow Leopard with my current versions of Imovie, Iphoto, ect?
I'm trying to keep cool, but seriously, if I have to go back and buy the box set just to upgrade my Iwork(which i don't use) and Ilife set, and then on top of that, repurchase the Adobe suite because it won't make the switch, I'm going to not only be furious, but lose a lot of respect for Apple.
Thanks for any help you can give me. Seriously.

Sources online say I'm AOK, and only after I bought it from apple and bring it home do they tell me (as I called to ask about backing up my hd) that I can't use this, that I need the box set with Iwork and Ilife.
The Box Set is "recommended", not essential, what you have will work.
Say I do upgrade successfully to Snow Leopard, but the Adobe Software is lost, would I be able to restore my computer back to this current Tiger state from my external?
First off, the only way to be 100% safe is to have a bootable Clone of what you have now.
Get carbon copy cloner to make an exact copy of your old HD to the New one...
http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
SuperDuper...
http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/
Or the most expensive one & my favorite, Tri-Backup...
http://www.tri-edre.com/english/tribackup.html
Boot from the clone and make certain everything is OK before install SL on the internal, then you could in a worst case scenario clone it back to the internal, or have 2 different OSes to choose from.
Is it just not possible to run Snow Leopard with my current versions of Imovie, Iphoto, ect?
I use iMovie 6 HD in SL/10.6, but be sure if installing iMovie that your current version isn't named iMovie so it doesn't get erased.
and then on top of that, repurchase the Adobe suite because it won't make the switch
You don't mention which versions of Adobe Apps you have.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

Install/Upgrade Tiger DVD on a non-DVD Mac

Hello everyone.
Please let me know if this works if not, please let me know what are the steps to using a Tiger OS DVD Installer on a non-DVD drive, like an iMac G3:
1.On a DVD-drive Mac like my iMac G5, insert DVD and use Disk Utility to create a disk image out of the DVD
2.I use my iPod to copy the disk image into a iMac G3
3.Double-click on the image, it expands into a 'disk icon' OS X installer
(the iMac will restart and Install Page appears...)
At this point I have not proceed further, will double-clicking on the icon within "Install OS X" (OS X black disc with an red arrow) restart the mac and boot into the Install Page, just like on the DVD?
The reason I ask is because the disk image mounts a disk on the desktop, wouldn't restarting the mac "unmount" the disk??
If this method is not possible, how do I install then??
Thanks and cheers

What you are trying to do will not work because you cannot boot from a disk image. You have two options:
1. Exchange your Tiger DVD for CDs using Apple's disk exchange program. Look for the media exchange ad here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/ and download the required form from the link.
2. Find another Mac that has a functional DVD drive. Both computers must support Target Disk Mode meaning they must both have Firewire ports. To verify this read this. This article explains the process.

Can Mac Box Set Family Pack (10.6) upgrade Tiger (10.4) ?

Hello,
I bought "Mac Box Set Family Pack (10.6)" (Product Number MC210Z/A) primarily to upgrade three Leopard Al Macbook machines.
I have two Tiger (10.4.11) - one MB white with Core 2 Duo and one MBP with Core Duo. May I know if the upgrade will work for these machines as well ?
Thanks!

Hi. A couple of corrections. Mr. Mossberg is at the Wall Street Journal. He in fact, let the cat out of the bag that you can indeed upgrade directly from Tiger. see here:
http://theappleblog.com/2009/08/27/tip-from-mossberg-snow-leopard-upgrade-good-f or-all/
That being said, I have not tried this myself, so I cannot say with certainty that it will work.
A good idea would be to try to upgrade to an external FW drive, so you can test first. Second, remember that you will need to update many apps that are Tiger apps to work with SL.
Good luck
David
