Upgrading from MacOs 10.3.9 to tiger

Hi Guys,
I'm new to the forum, nice to know everyone of you
I need to upgrade my system.
Since i'm using a G4-1250 Mhz the software update application can't get me anyfurther than MacOS 10.3.9.
Is there any way for me to upgrade my system in order to use the latest OS (ex. Tiger 10.4.6)
Thanks in advance for any usefull tip
Joe

Hi Joe,
first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
As AxL already pointed out, 10.4 Tiger is commercial software. You have to buy it. Make sure you buy the retail full install version! Then follow this procedure: 10.4 Tiger Upgrade: Decision tree+Checklist

  • Can I upgrade from 10.2.8 directly to Tiger 10.4.6?

    If I can't upgrade from 10.2.8 directly to Tiger, what do I need to do first and how?
    Thanks for you help!

    You should be able to. Is the Tiger installer disk a retail version? Can your ibook read a DVD? You didn't indicate which iBook. Have you sufficient ram and hard drive space?

  • Upgrading from Panther 10.3.9 to Tiger 10.4.3

    My brother has a 17" 1.8 IMac and wants to upgrade from Panther 10.3.9 to Tiger 10.4.3 so he can use Aperture, Apple's new software. Since I have always helped him in the past with his upadates, I prefer doing clean installs by reformatting the hard drive before doing a major upgrade like the aforementioned. Is this the preferred method or should I attempt to install over Panther without reformatting? I'm rather reluctant to go to 10.4.3 based upon the number of negative experiences reported by people who have done so, but if he wants to use Aperture, according to the system requirements needed to run it, he has to perform this update. What recommendations do any of you have for making a safe migration from 10.3.9 to 10.4.3? In other words, what is the best and safest method of updating?

    Tom,
    Don't forget this forum is the hospital ward. Don't let the preponderance of bad reports make you think an update is bad. These are usually cases where people haven't taken the proper precautions while updating which should always be taken.
    Mac OS X doesn't technically have a clean install option. For reasons why I say not, see this user tip:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607614
    The best method of upgrading depends on how well the machine is functioning in 10.3.9. If it has sufficient space, sufficient RAM, has not had any kernel panics, the following sequence of steps is recommended:
    1. Backup your data.
    2. Make sure all your hardware and software has compatible drivers for the operating system you are going to. Verify all the applications you are going to use are updated.
    3. Dismount and disconnect all third party peripherals.
    4. Upgrade and install to 10.4 with a retail 10.4 installer disk. Do not use a system specific disk on a different machine. Buy the box family or single user pack from an Apple software reseller.
    5. Repair permissions with Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility
    6. Run the 10.4.3 combo update:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxupdate1043combo.html
    7. repeat step 5.
    Do steps 1 and 5 before and after any update as a general practice in anycase. Application installers often have a tendency to want to mess with permissions and sometimes don't put them back causing problems later on.
    Now if you are having issues launching specific programs, or programs unexpectedly quitting now, or 4 language screens those need to be isolated before you update.

  • Can not upgrade from Panther 10.3.9 to Tiger 10.4

    I have a PMG4 AGP 1.4 ghz (upgrade from OWC) 2 GB ram and three SCSI hard drives 147/147/40 (upgrades from OWC).
    I upgraded to Tiger 10.4 from Panther about six months ago. And the upgrade never worked. After the upgrade for Tiger, the screen would look gray with the Apple logo and the spinning icon, then it would remain gray but the Apple logo will change to a circle with a diagonal line across it and it will stay that way forever.
    So I been stuck with Panther ever since. (My iMac-G4 Video Special Edition did take the upgrade very well). I called OWC and they said that their drives were tested for Tiger and didn‘t have any problems. (how about the processor upgrade?)
    I also took the computer to Apple store for advise, and one of their techs told me that the hard drive could be the problem.
    So last night I decided to try it again but on the other drive (the one I‘m using as a starup disk with panther 10.3.9). Same thing.
    By doing the same thing it tells me that the hard drives are the problem.
    Please help because I really don‘t know what to do of this.
    Thanks,
    Oscar

    You might try removing third party hard ware. Specifically, the SCSI drives. Get the systme back to original configuration with only keyboard and mouse and give it a go.

  • Upgrading from Panter 10.3.9  to Tiger - Need Help

    I am trying to upgrade from panter to tiger without success. My 12" powerbook G4 meets exceeds the system requirements and I have plenty of HD space, however the installation fails when verifying the destination volume. My friend suggested that I may need a firmware update to update the Bios for successful installation. I am not mac savvy and do not know what needs to be done. Can someone please give me a helping hand. Thanks.....

    Here's the only really useful information on this error and what you can do to solve the problem:
    How to Deal with a -9972 Error
    Contributed by Fumiaki Kawashima
    The error message, "Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit (-9972)" is a serious filesystem error in the Mac OS X Core Foundation. The problem can also lead to other critical errors such as "Keys Out of Order," "Invalid node structure" and/or "Invalid sibling link." The causes and scenarios vary. Troubleshooting a solution may depend upon computer configuration and whether the -9972 error is accompanied by other critical errors. This issue can also lead up to a kernel panic. If the error occurs when an external FireWire device is connected, disconnect it until you verify the device's compatibility.
    Symptoms:
    In most cases, you are unable to restart from Mac OS X.
    * A volume is grayed out or not mounted with or without a kernel panic.
    * A folder with a flashing question mark may appear.
    * A bad partition map may be reported.
    * A target disk mode solution may not work.
    * Most likely, Disk Utility, Norton Utilities, TechTool and DiskWarrior cannot fix the issues.
    * The high level disk format (Standard format) may unable to perform.
    * You may unable to re-initialize the hard drive.
    * A disk physically malfunctions in the worst case.
    Example of an accompanied error message:
    DiskWarrior normally fixes 1 to 6, but cannot fix errors 7 to 10 if the symptoms are very bad. There is no definite case.
    01. Volume check failed
    02. Invalid B-tree Header
    03. Invalid map node
    04. Invalid extents entry
    05. Invalid clump size
    06. Incorrect block count file
    07. Invalid node structure
    08. Overlapped extent allocation
    09. Keys Out of Order
    10. Invalid sibling link
    Related documents:
    What to Do When It Finds an Error
    Technical overview of disk volume structures
    Possible causes:
    * Third-party FireWire device or enclosure, or other peripheral devices.
    * Third-party mass storage drives or PCI card issues.
    * Incompatible third-party kernel extensions.
    * Mac OS X installer disc is improperly treated.
    Solutions:
    If possible and needed, back up data before troubleshooting. Methods (4) and (5) are for Power Mac desktop computers other than G5 models. The best bet is method (4) if you encounter multiple bad errors.
    1. Unplug the power cord. Disconnect all third-party hardware except Apple keyboard and mouse before you start.
    2. Do NOT re-install any third-party software/hardware until you completely solve the issue(s) and carefully investigate the compatibility with Mac OS X 10.3.x you install.
    3. If another critical error "Invalid sibling link" is detected at any phases, disconnect and reconnect all internal power cords and data cables for hard drives and any ATAPI device. To do so, you may need to read the computer's CIP Instructions in advance. Normally, you do not need to remove third-party RAMs.
    Method 1:
    (1) Start up from Mac OS X 10.3.x Panther Full Install CD or DVD.
    (2) Re-initialize and re-partition the hard drive. RECOMMENDATION: Select "Zero all data" option if "Invalid node structure" or "Keys Out of Order" error is detected.
    If this method is of avail, go to Method 2 or greater.
    Method 2:
    (1) Start up in Mac OS 9.2.2 and shut down the computer.
    (2) Start up from a copy of a Disk Warrior bootable CD for Mac OS 9.2.2.
    (3) Run DW to fix the damage(s).
    Method 3:
    (1) Unplug the computer.
    (2) Find a second ATA drive and jumper it as MASTER. Jumper the hard drive in question as SLAVE. Verify the jumper pin settings.
    (3) Install Mac OS 9.2.x system on the MASTER drive, and update it to Mac OS 9.2.2.
    (4) Start up from Mac OS 9.2.2. Re-initialize and re-partition the damaged hard drive with Drive Setup using the "Zero all data" option. Unplug the computer and reconfigure the jumper pin setting on the repaired drive for MASTER and the second drive for SLAVE.
    (5) Restart from Mac OS X 10.3 Panther full install CD. Re-initialize and re-partition the repaired drive to install Mac OS X 10.3. Update to Mac OS X 10.3.7 via Software Update. Repair the disk permissions after each Mac OS X 10.3 installation and Mac OS X 10.3.7 update.
    You may want to try starting up from Mac OS 9.2.x Full Install CD instead of from (2) to (4).
    Method 4:
    (1) Find a desktop computer that has an ATA controller PCI card (SCSI environment) and has two hard drive bays. This will make your damaged drive appear as a quasi-SCSI hard drive. Mac OS 9.2.2 must be pre-installed on the computer. I recommend a host computer that installs an Ultra DMA/xxx or xxx (ATA-x) interface equal to or better than the damaged drive with backwards compatible.
    (2) Set the host computer's primary drive as MASTER and your damaged hard drive as SLAVE and install the damaged drive in the second drive bay of the host computer. Verify properly configured jumper pin settings in advance.
    (3) Start up the host computer from Mac OS 9.2.2. Launch the "Drive Setup" utility. Re-initialize the damaged disk on the second drive using the "Low level format" option. It may take hours but less than "Zero all data" option. Note: Normally, a low level format with a quasi-SCSI drive takes much less (30 - 40%) time than an ATA configuration drive. Note that "Low level format" fixes all difficult logical damage.
    (4) Put the fixed disk back in your computer's drive bay. Re-configure the jumper pin setting to MASTER before you place it into the drive bay of your computer.
    (5) Restart from Mac OS X 10.3 Panther full install CD. Re-initialize and re-partition it to install Mac OS X 10.3. Update to Mac OS X 10.3.7 via Software Update. Repair the disk permissions after each Mac OS X 10.3 installation and Mac OS X 10.3.7 update.
    Note that Panther's Disk Utility does not implement a "Low level format" option.
    Method 5:
    If Method 4 does not work or fix the damaged drive, let me know. You may need an advanced technique to fix it if the drive is physically not a problem.
    OPTION:
    Purchase a known good hard drive that conforms to your computer's ATA specification. Fix the damaged hard drive some other time. Nowadays, prices of hard drives are inexpensive.

  • Upgrading from 10.2.8 Panther to Tiger

    Hello! I have an iMac 800 MHz PowerPC G4 17 inch flat panel purchased in January 2003. I have 512 MB of memory and 18.1 Gigs remaining on my hard drive. I bought an upgrade from eBay with a universal install disk. When I put the disk in, it spins and spins and then eventually ejects the disk...never even starts up. My drive can read other disks and I have already received a replacement disk in the event the first one was damaged. Still doesn't work. I have been to the upgrade pages thinking my firmware needed to be upgraded but it appears there is no upgrade that fits my computer. I even tried loading the firmware upgrade for the same computer with the 15 inch screen but it wouldn't let me load it, it said it wasn't compatible with my computer. Any thoughts? Do I just need to get the 20 disk upgrade kit?

    Hi CSchuh, and Welcome To Discussions!
    You wrote "...I bought an upgrade from eBay with a universal install disk..."
    I think you probably have an Upgrade or Machine Specific DVD.
    Which is probably why it is not working.
    More info here Using OS X Install CDs/DVDs On Multiple Macs.
    What you need is a FULL RETAIL VERSION, of Tiger.

  • How to upgrade from Panther (10.3.9) to Tiger (10.4.x)

    I have a G3-600 with a CDRW drive. I've been able to upgrade it from 10.0.3 to 10.3.9 with a purchased set of 10.3 install cdroms. I'd like to make the jump to 10.4, since I've been told that my machine can handle it. However, the 10.4 upgrade distribution that I can purchase comes on DVD. Can someone recommend a way to do this successfully? Locally, I can purchase a USB external DVD-rom drive and try using it, or possibly try to read the upgrade DVD in and store an image onto an external Hard Drive, then attach the drive to the G3 machine and try to upgrade with it.
    Any suggestions welcomed.
    -Bob

    You could look for a CD version of Tiger although they are probably next to impossible to find. You cannot use a USB drive because your computer cannot boot from a USB drive. You would need a Firewire drive. You could certainly image the DVD but to do so would require a DVD drive. If you have access to another Mac with a DVD drive, then you could install via Target Disk Mode.

    I tried to to upgrade to Tiger, but I can't.... I am getting "Hold Down Power Button" to restart my computer error... and Kernel Panic..... I also tried to boot from C drive, and that didn't work also..... anyone knows answer to these problem... Thanks.....

    Thanks....
    I contacted AppleCare, and Service Care Rep walked me through many troubleshoots for hours.... by the way, he was very cool..... after testing my G5, there's nothing wrong with the hardware accroding to him..... he thinks I have a bad installer DVD, so he is sending me new copy..... hopefully, that'll take care of my problem.....

  • Problems upgrading from Panther 10.3.9 to Tiger

    I am having problems upgrading my Mac 500mhtz which currently runs Mac OS X 10.3.9 (Panther). It starts the installation process, I choose the language that I want (EnglisH) then the next screebbn says " Alert - Thius software cannot be installed on this computer" . The options I have is Resart or Startup Disk . I don't understand whythis happening becasue I meet the requirements. I have about 6 gigs of space ti stall and from what I read Tiger needs 3 gigs. I have loked through many forums and have not found the answer to my question. Does anybody know the answer to this solution. I have also backed up my User profile and are planning on doing a clean install once when installing Tiger.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    That error frequently appears if you don't use the retail Tiger installer discs. Mac OS X installer discs are system specific or retail versions. You don't want to install another Mac's installer discs, for reasons my FAQ states here:
    http://www.macmaps.com/upgradefaq.html#SYSTEMSPECIFIC
    I'd also look that whole FAQ over and see whether or not you really are ready for an upgrade.
    In addition, there is no such thing as a "clean install". Here are the various types of installation options available:

  • Upgrading from Panther 10.3.8 to Tiger

    Is this as straightforward as buying the upgrade?
    Can i just load this over the top, currently having to run Leonardo ISDN software, does this have any issues with Tiger?
    Thanks

    Hi Keelie and welcome!
    As regards Leonardo, you will have to ask the vendors if it is Tiger compatible or if you need a new version.
    As regards updating to Tiger, the following may assist you:
    There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
    It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
    So before you do anything else:
    If you can, make a full backup first.
    Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
    1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
    2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
    At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
    3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
    If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
    Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
    Now proceed as follows:
    4. Close all applications.
    5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
    7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
    8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
    If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
    9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them 10.4.10. compliant. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
    N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.

  • Allgemeiner Fehler - FCP 7.0.2 after last Weekend Auto-Upgrade from MacOS

    Dear all,
    After Upgrading to the latest MacOS I do get the Error "Allgemeiner Fehler" when rendering to Quicktime-Movie - using default settings. The Clip is around 1 Minute long.
    Also got the impression that calculation takes much more longer and the applications "hangs"
    Has worked before the Update without any issues....
    Any Ideas if this might be related to this last weekends Update?
    Thanks
    Regards
    Juergen

    "Allgemeiner Fehler" = General error.
    It could be one of dozens of things. If you do a search for the term, you will find lots of posts about this.
    Things to try: Trash the Preference files for FCP. It is harmless and might get you back on track:
    Open a Finder window. Set the view mode to columns:
    Click the house icon that has your name next to it.
    Click the folder "Library" in the next column.
    Find and click the folder "Preferences" in the next column.
    Find and click the folder "Final Cut Pro User Data" in the next column.
    Move the files "Final Cut Pro 7.0 Prefs", "Final Cut Pro Obj Cache" and "Final Cut Pro Prof Cache" to the Trash and empty it.
    Deleting the render files and re-rendering might also clear the problem.

  • Upgrading from Tiger 10.4 to Snow Leopard

    Alright, so i reformatted and erased my hard drive and tried installing Snow Leopard but it says "this computer doesn't have enough RAM"...
    AFTER i cleaned it out. and now it won't let me eject the disc or get out of the installation screen..
    it says to restore my system with time machine.. but i don't have time machine or any backups.
    but under my hard drive settings it says:
    space Available: 79.45 GB
    Used: 229.7 MB
    i don't know what to do..

    You should also read the section in the right column titled - *Upgrading from Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger.*
    Don't confuse the technical or licensing requirements with Apple's buying suggestion that Tiger users should purchase the Box Set. The Snow Leopard DVD & the license to use it are the same whether they come as part of the Box Set or as the OS-only retail product. Neither one requires anything special of Tiger users aside from the general & feature-specific technical requirements.
    Specifically, make sure the Black 2006 MacBook has a minimum of 1 GB of installed memory since most of the "Early 2006" ones came with only 512 MB (½ GB) installed.

  • Options for Upgrade from OSX 10.4 to Leopard

    Hi all, I started this question over here:
    http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2592383&tstart=0
    and BDAqua recommended I start a new thread, so here goes:
    My computer has been crazy slow for the last year or two. I have a MacBook with Mac OS X (10.4.11). We've think we want to reinstall the OS, I don't have the original install disks.
    BAqua recommended paying the $29 for the Leopard upgrade, but I noticed here http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html that it says I need to get the full product since I'm on OSX 10.4 - is that true?. Here's what it says on the bottom right:
    Upgrading from Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger.
    If your Intel-based Mac is running Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger, purchase the Mac Box Set, which is a single, affordable package that includes Mac OS X v10.6.3 Snow Leopard; iLife, with the latest versions of iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, iWeb, and iDVD; and iWork, Apple’s productivity suite for home and office including Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
    I'm not sure it's worth $169 to upgrade the OS - especially considering we don't even know if it's a hardware problem.
    Also, can I do a complete reinstall with the upgrade disk anyways? My husband has worked on PCs for a long time, but wasn't sure what to do about a Mac that has what appears to be a lot of corrupted settings. He tried to create a new user and copy the setting over (seems like common advice on these forums), but my computer hangs forever when trying to create a new user. He figures it's faster to just reinstall than try and fix it one problem at a time. Thoughts?
    Thanks so much!

    There have been reports from users who have bought the $29. package
    and used it to install a newer Snow Leopard 10.6.x system in a supported
    Mac computer model that was capable of using that version.
    Snow Leopard 10.6 is the current production version; Leopard 10.5 is not.
    With enough free space (capacity, unused) on the computer's hard disk
    drive, a new system could be installed; an Upgrade & Install, if you had
    a newer retail install DVD. But too full of a hard disk drive, and it won't
    work; neither would an Archive & Install, where you choose to have the
    new system save and use the old user account & setup info. If the Mac
    has too much stuff on the hard disk drive, it has to be dealt with first.
    And the computer system itself is separate from the user acct issues.
    The 10.6 upgrade is a full installer, according to those who have used it;
    but the better deal would be to get the large 'complete package deal' due
    to the addition of the other software, each in a retail package version, to
    add those other apps that the upgrade installer by itself won't include.
    And the older Tiger-level versions are fairly outdated to try and use in the
    Mac once you've upgraded the OS from 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard 10.6.x.
    Usual issues as you describe that are affecting your computer use, tend
    to be related to a few factors; issues contributing to slowness and sluggish
    performance, include: a too-full hard disk drive, in adequate RAM installed
    to run certain Apps. And a combination of a fuller than desired hard disk
    drive plus inadequate available RAM installed, can make a system slow.
    RAM is on-chip random access memory; HDD capacity is storage space.
    Not to confuse these; however the computer will use larger sections of free
    hard disk drive space. Unused capacity, used as Virtual Memory helps the
    Mac OS X system and Apps you may be using, handle the workload and
    temp files, swap space, Virtual Memory and other workings, are comprom-
    ised by a lack of sufficient free or unused hard disk drive capacity.
    Also, in addition to the above, certain cache files in the system, and other
    items addressed by routine and preventative maintenance, can grow to a
    point where they can slow the system. So, trying to install an upgrade over
    a problem not directly related to the system, only will layer the first problem.
    The symptoms you describe indicate the problem is probably due to the
    hard drive being near full capacity; or perhaps it has bad sectors and a
    part of the hard disk drive is not longer accessible to the Mac OS X, so the
    computer is working around the lack of space needed as Virtual Memory;
    and has gotten way slow in trying to find temporary work space, under load.
    IF the internal drive in the computer is more than 75 to 85% full, it likely is
    overdue for some clearing out; image files, music files, libraries of these
    can use up plenty of hard disk drive storage capacity. So much, the Mac
    may start to work very hard, and then the usual thing is hard drive failure.
    So, you should consider using an external drive enclosure that can boot
    the computer model you have (some can't.) If your Mac has USB 2.0
    ports, and FireWire400/800, then an external enclosure sporting both
    kinds of ports (FW + USB2.0) with its own power supply; and making a
    complete computer drive clone, on the external drive.
    Once a suitable and boot-capable copy/clone is created on an external
    hard disk drive, and it is tested to see it can start and run the Mac, you
    could choose to use Disk Utility from the clone's utility folder, and have
    it 'repair disk permissions' on the booted clone. Then, it may be OK to
    secure erase (one-pass) the hard disk drive, using Disk Utility's optional
    tools, and choose a partition map (GUID-type) and reformat to HFS+.
    Then, the system which was cloned to the external drive could be re-
    cloned back to the internal hard disk drive. The same Clone utility can
    be used to move or copy an OS X system back & forth. One that I use
    is a free-running donationware/download, named Carbon Copy Cloner.
    Since the computer have/had shipped with a special version of Tiger
    10.4, (Intel-based Macs with Tiger) this would not be able to use a
    retail copy of the Tiger DVD to do a re-install. You could call Apple
    Sales/Support, and tell them the Serial Number of your Mac, and ask
    about getting a replacement original software packet for your computer.
    This would cost a nominal fee; or go for the $29. Snow Leopard one.
    The product specialist you'd talk to about this, at 1-800-MY-APPLE
    may be able to direct you somewhat, if the original Tiger 10.4 replace-
    ment disc set is no longer available for your computer.
    A concern, would be if you were somehow able to install an upgrade to
    a later system into your computer, as it is now (with issues) the problem
    could be worse, since a too-full hard disk drive can be damaged or be
    a cause of software/data loss once you over-fill the drive.
    Also, a portable computer, among others that see a lot of use, may need
    a new/replacement hard disk drive by now; after three to five years run-
    time. They do wear out, and the more they have to work to do read/write
    cycles of use, such as when inadequate chip RAM is installed, to swap
    files and use HDD free space as Virtual Memory, things wear out faster.
    So, the system itself isn't likely the cause of the problem; but is a symptom.
    And you need to have some system discs. The replacement of original discs
    would give you the correct Apple Hardware Test it shipped with; this is not
    on any other version OS X install disc. And the original disc set should be
    included with a computer when it is sold, traded, or gifted away. Plus, any
    other OS X version it may have been upgraded with. To cover all bases.
    Perhaps someone else has a shorter version of this line of thinking, with a
    few good web links to helpful sites? I have fielded three local interruptions
    not related to computers while trying to write what I thought was a simple
    reply to a question; but find it is easier to know the answer than get it out.
    Some general ideas:
    • OS X Maintenance and Troubleshooting:
    http://www.macattorney.com/ts.html
    • Maintaining Mac OS X:
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/maintainingmacosx.html
    • Download Titanium Software's OnyX (note system version)
    http://www.titanium.free.fr/download.php
    There always are more questions, hopefully someone will help
    match answers up correctly, and pair them off successfully.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Upgrading from osx 10.2.8 to osx 10.4

    I bought a set of 16 install disk for an emac ( they are grey ) and it came with one disk that is black with a grey x and say's xcode 2 on it. I cant get the disks to work. I put in the first disk and it tells me to click the restart button and then the computer restart and stays on the grey screen with the dark grey spinning wheel. Can some one please help?

    Hi, i also have a question but it falls in the same category so didn't want to post another question.
    I will be buying 512RAM so i can upgrade from OSX 10.2.8 to Tiger OSX 10.4 then I will be buying the install disks. When i go install Tiger, what will happen to all my files/music/work that i have on my emac at the moment? Will it still be on there when i fully install Tiger or will it be written over/wiped?
    Seems a silly question but i want to know exactly what i am doing before i do it! Don't want to lose anything in the process.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Mail crashes when upgrading from tiger!

    Whenever I start Mail it says it's going to upgrade all my mboxes. It then crashes. Which is great.
    I really don't want to lose all my mail... and I can't even access it. Anyone know what I can do, or if I can get apple support to do something about it? Here's the report:

    I am assuming you upgraded from Tiger to Leopard? What type of installation did you use?
    My suggestion would be to
    1.) go to your home folder and MOVE the mailboxes to the desktop -
    • Home>Library>Mail
    2.) Move "Mail" Folder to desktop
    3.) Reopen Mail.app
    4.) Setup account settings with no existing mailboxes
    5.) Wait
    • Allow mailboxes to download or set up any existing mail from mail servers
    6.) Take ALL accounts OFFLINE after mail is downloaded from servers - disable network activity before importing old mailboxes
    7.) Import OLD Mailboxes
    • File>Import Mailboxes...
    • Import data from "mac os x mailboxes" OR "mbox files"
    8.) Wait
    • It should be a few moments to load these depending on how much existing mail you have.
    9.) If you have duplicates I highly reccomend using these apple scripts from aamann to resolve any additional issues:
    • http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
    Apple Scripts:
    Add Addresses (Mail)
    * Add addresses found in the selected messages (in the header fields "From", "To", "Cc", "Bcc", and "Reply-To") to the Address Book. This is much more flexible than the "Add Sender to Address Book" available in Mail and provides a convenient way for creating mailing lists.
    Archive Messages (Mail)
    * Move messages from the selected mailbox(es) to an archive mailbox or export them to standard mbox, plain or rich text files for backup purposes or import into other applications. You can select to move all messages or only messages sent within or certain period as well filter messages based on their read and flagged status.
    Change SMTP Server (Mail)
    * Switch between different already defined SMTP servers or define a new one. This is especially useful if you are using your computer in more than one location and have to switch servers for several accounts at once.
    Create Rule (Mail)
    * Create a new rule based on the first of the selected messages. This saves you the trouble of copy/pasting address or other info between the message and the rule window and provides a much quicker way for setting up a rule with multiple criteria/actions.
    Remove Duplicates (Mail)
    * Locate all duplicate messages found in the selected mailbox(es) and move them to a separate mailbox for easy removal (duplicate matching is based on the unique message header "Message-Id").
    Schedule Delivery (Mail)
    * Allows you to send individual messages at predefined times (this script uses iCal for scheduling message delivery).
    Send all Drafts (Mail)
    * Immediately send all messages in the "Drafts" folders for all accounts. This saves you from having to open each draft in order to send it.
    Open Mailbox, Open Message (Mail)
    * Two small faceless scripts which will open mailboxes with new messages or the new messages themselves when run as a rule action.
    Filter Sent Messages (Mail)
    * Another faceless scripts which will apply your rules to the messages in the "Sent" mailbox.
    Export Addresses (Address Book)
    * Export addresses from the Address Book into tab-delimited text files. You can select which groups and which fields you want to export.
    Search Addresses (Address Book)
    * Find all addresses inside the Address Book matching one or more criteria. As opposed to the "Search" function built into the Address Book, this lets you search in any field as well as for empty and non-empty fields (Note: due to a bug in the Address Book's AppleScript implementation, "First Name" will always return a non-empty value for system versions of at least up to 10.3.2 - I have reported this bug to Apple and hope that they fix it with the next system update).
    * As an example, you might use this script to search for all phone numbers with a certain area code in order to update your contacts after an area code change.
    Good Luck,
    Hope this helps!
