Using VLC with Tiger

Dear All
I have a 2007 white Macbook. I downloaded VLC version 1.1 ?? but it will not open. Is there a way around this please, or is there a version of VLC that will work?
Thank you
Veedeekay

Apparently VLC dropped support for Tiger a year ago:

I haven't found an old version, but try googling.

Help! Purchased used MBP with admin password, want to install OSX Leopard!

I purchased a used MBP with Tiger. The seller sold me a laptop with a password! I can log into the computer but I can't install programs (it asks for the password).
I don't have the original Tiger disks.
*If I purchase OSX Leopard tomorrow at the Apple Store, will I be able to install Leopard? Will it ask me for the password? Is there ANYWAY to get around this?*
*Do I have to buy a completely new hard drive to install to?* If I do I'll be really upset. I thought this was a good deal but I guess not if I have to pay for all this...

The machine is set to use "automatic login" that is why it does not require a password on boot up.
Boot from the Tiger Install DVD and choose Reset Password under the drop down menu on the top menu bar. You did get the OS disks with the machine, correct?
It will search the machine for all admin accounts and you can choose which one you want to reset.
And FYI, you always need the password of an admin account to install software. It is one of the safety features of OS X.
Installing 10.5 (Leopard) is your choice but it is not required to get you out of this jam if you have the 10.4 (Tiger) DVD. But you will need to boot from the 10.5 DVD and then decide what kind of install you want to do. If it was me, I would erase and install and start clean with legal software and applications.

Playing blu-rays using VLC

I have the latest iMac running Yosemite and wanted to be able to play blu ray discs using a Freecom mobile blu-ray writer, so I downloaded VLC media player (latest Mac OS X version 2.1.5), a free software that is supposed to do that and more. The problem is that when I try to play a blu ray, I get the message "Blu-ray error. This Blu-ray Disc needs a library for AACS decoding, and your system does not have it."
I found various suggestions on the internet for Mac-users with older operating systems, but they were complicated to follow and I am concerned that they may not work with Yosemite.
Could anyone kindly tell me where I can get a clear explanation as to what I should do to be able to play blu rays using VLC with Yosemite? Thank you!

Other posters here have bought Sansung drives and complained that they wouldn't work, either.
I have been to the Samsung website on several occasions to research this issue and I can find no evidence that these drives are Mac compatible.
I believe that no optical drive from Samsung is compatible with Macs.
Here are some Blu-ray drives that are known to be Mac compatible.
Return the drive you have and try these.

Can I use migration assistant from a mac with leopard to a mac with tiger?

My old mac was upgraded to leopard, (don't ask me why), and I just got a new mac with tiger, although I ordered leopard up to date. Can I use migration assistant to move stuff from the old mac with leopard to the new mac with tiger, or do I have to wait until I get the copy of leopard? Plus, if I move files over now- like through email and/or network connection, and then when I get leopard and archive and install, what happens to my files?

That is correct. You'll need either an ethernet cable or a firwire cable and a firewire to thunderbolt adapter to connect the two macs together. Here's info on Migration/Setup assistant

Can't use Photoshop 5.5 with Tiger 10.4.6 onPowerbook inspite of re-install

I can not use Photoshop 5.5 completely with Tiger 10.4.6 on PowerBook G4 15". Some features on the palette, such ac the cropping tool is simply not available. I have re-installed Photoshop 5.5, but no luck. Photoshop 5.5 works fine under 10.4.6 in Pismo with G4 upgrade. What gives?
Thanks in advance to anybody who could help...
PowerBook G4 15" 1.67GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1GB RAM

It sounds like it is time to upgrade to Photoshop 7 or later. If it doesn't work properly in Classic, and you are finding your Pismo is becoming unworkable, either replacing it with another Pismo or Mac OS 9 booting machine is advisable, or upgrading to a Mac OS X native version of the software is advisable.
Here's my FAQ on migrating from 9 to X:

Issue with external display darkening via HDMI on macbook air using VLC

I had a 2010 macbook pro which never had this issue.
When I play a downloaded movie on macbook air in VLC anywhere from 45 min to 1 hour the tv will darken to barely see anything, I then have to hit esc to take VLC out of full screen mode then select full screen mode again and the tv is back to normal brightness showing movie.
This does not happen with Miro, but most of the downloaded movies (avi) do not have sound in Miro which is why I use VLC when Miro has no sound for a particular movie.
Anyone run into this issue before with VLC on a macbook air using mini display port to HDMI on a TV?
This wouldnt be an issue if the sound worked in Miro for these movies! Some AVI files do have sound in Miro but most do not.
Thanks!!!

Bought the mini display port -> dvi adaptor, plugged in the dvi and everything seems to be fixed.
Nice crisp 1920x1080 display, no shivers...
Looks like the signal from vga is not robust enough for this resolution.
Solved.

IChat not working with Tiger user

I recently received a new Macbook with Leopard already installed on it. I have 2 friends who also own Macbooks, who I iChat with.
One of my friends received her Macbook when Leopard just came out, so she had Tiger on it previously . The other friend has had her Macbook longer, and does not have Leopard, just Tiger.
When attempting to start an iChat with the friend with Tiger, it would not work. The weird thing about it though is that it has worked a few times before, if we kept trying and I found if I restarted my computer.
However, now the friend that previously had Tiger had problems with her Macbook and received a brand new one with Leopard already on it. Now it does not work for her to start an iChat with the Tiger user, although she had no problems with her old computer.
Sorry it's confusing!
But in conclusion, it seems that iChat is not working between a Leopard and Tiger user. The confusing part is that we have gotten it to work before...so I'm really not sure what the problem is.
What can we try to get this to work all the time, without her having to upgrade to Leopard?
I usually get an error response saying there was no data received for the last 10 seconds, and she gets different things about Bandwidth, and saying she cancelled the invitation when she didn't.
Thanks

Personally, I think it's Leopard that is at fault here. I had Tiger and my family and I would video iChat all the time. But then we downloaded Leopard. We discovered we could no longer video iChat.
My son used 4 different computers (all Macs of course), trying same network and different networks. What he discovered is that the ONLY way video iChat now works is if computers are on the same network. Well, how absurd, because the idea is to be able to video iChat with anyone, not just family members in the same household on the same network.
Apparently, somewhere, Apple (Leopard) bragged about their new improved iChat video on a network. Well, I think they forgot that not all of us are sitting in an office wanting to spend the time to iChat video with co-workers, but have friends and family in other areas we'd like to video iChat with.
So through a process of elimination, it all led back to Leopard as being the culprit, because Tiger to Tiger worked perfectly, and even Leopard to Tiger works IF you are on the same network.
I really do hope Apple supplies a FIX for this problem. I, for one, am VERY disappointed in the fact that I now have Leopard and can no longer video iChat with friends across the country.

Install OS 9 on PowerBook G4 with Tiger

I have a 2003 17" PowerBook G4 with Tiger installed on it. I need to have Classic on it. The original PowerBook restore disk will not install OS 9 or anything else because, it says, the operating system on the computer is newer than the restore disk's. I want to just install OS 9 so that I can have Classic, but have not found a way to do this. The PB G4 is not OS 9-bootable. Any ideas?

On the PB G4 Restore Disk there is an installer for additional software and classic support. However, it doesn't work. When I run it, it goes for a minute, then opens a window requesting I insert the disk with a matching design on it. What it's requesting is the same CD that's already in there, but since it doesn't know it's there, I eject it and re-insert it. Still it does nothing. The only option is to Quit. There is nothing from the regular OS X installation to install Classic.
So, is my only option to use the Restore disk on a Firewire drive, install OS X and Classic on it, then copy it over to my regular boot drive?
Thanks for your help.

Hi, I want to downgrade from OSX LEOPARD to OSX TIGER but I have a few questions regarding this. My iMac is originally from 2007 it came preloaded with tiger. I have original install tiger discs version 10.4.10. Is it safe to downgrade or not please help

Hi, I want to downgrade from OSX LEOPARD to OSX TIGER but I have a few questions regarding this. My iMac is originally from Sep 2007 it came preloaded with tiger. I have original install (2) tiger discs version 10.4.10. I want to know if it is safe and what are the necessary steps to do so. Also by downgrading im wondering if a lot of apps nowadays support tiger for example I have photoshop version 5 and 4 these are very important to me. One last question does anyone know of any reliable virus protection for mac that doesnt slow down your computer? because I have read that a lot of them do so. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it! Here are the specs for my iMac
Model Name:
iMac
Model Identifier:

Processor Name:

Most of the time a perception of general slow performance is the result of installing third party junk alleged to speed up, "clean" or "optimize" your Mac, or to look for viruses that don't exist. Ideally you would know what you installed so you can uninstall it, but if you don't know or aren't sure there are techniques such as Safe Mode and creating a temporary user account to confirm that suspicion.
If you open Activity Monitor it may show a process, or processes, that occupy a lot of your system's time.
Slowness confined solely to web browser activity is often the result of an inexorable progress toward websites that demand ever more processor-intensive tasks. If your slow performance is strictly limited to web browsing, you might try disabling Flash by either uninstalling it, or use utilities such as ClickToFlash that allow you to control what Flash content gets loaded. Flash in itself is not inherently evil, but there is nothing to stop websites or the advertisers who pay for them from writing horrible Flash code that can do everything from hogging 100% of your CPU's time to causing random crashes. You can watch Activity Monitor as in the above to correlate these troublesome web pages with performance degradation.
You are correct; if your computer shipped with Tiger you may certainly revert to it. I forgot that Tiger was shipping on new Macs as recently as five years ago. To downgrade it would be necessary to completely erase your hard disk and boot with the Tiger installation DVD, followed by installing it anew. Such drastic measures are not necessary and you are unlikely to be satisfied with the results anyway.
Assuming your system is free of third party parasitic junk attached to OS X in an ill-conceived attempt to improve upon it, that your hard disk drive is sound and the boot volume has enough free space to work with, by far the best performance-enhancing improvement would be to add more memory. Buy as much as your computer can use and that you can afford. 2 GB is not that much any more.

Where can I find a new or used version of Tiger?

Hi, I would like to upgrade my old g4 Ibook, 10.3.9 (Panther) to run either Tiger or Leopard. Where can I buy either new or used versions of this software? Used would be fine, as long as it works. The Apple store doesn't sell these anymore, and what I googled sounded very expensive for something that is really already outdated. Are there any reliable stores that sell these? If I buy it used, is there any danger I might get a bad DVD and somehow do damage to my computer? Also, would Tiger be better than Leopard? I'm mostly trying to get the computer to play videos on the internet, which doesn't work with Panther.
Thanks for any help!

I think there are online retailers but nobody I have seen specifically recommended. There's the usual used parts sources such as e-bay and Craigslist but make sure you get a retail version disc. Some people try to re-sell the gray colored discs that came with a computer but those are designed to only work on that particular model. The retail Tiger discs are black. There are also limited discs that are designed to only work when installing on top of Panther. That would be okay in your situation except if you should ever need to re-install you would have to install Panther first again.
See other recent posts in this forum about upgrading to Leopard. Both Tiger and Leopard are no longer supported by Apple. You can run newer versions of things such as iTunes on Leopard but it will still be several versions out of date. With Leopard you can no longer run OS9 generation applications in Classic. Leopard will also make more demands on your computer. Check the specs for minimum system requirements. I think your 512 MB RAM meets minimum but when Apple says minimum they mean it and some people complained about Leopard running slowly. I run Tiger with 2 GB RAM.
I have a copy of Leopard but I have never bothered installing it. Yes, there are a few applications I could run in it that I can't with Tiger, but I am generally pretty happy with Tiger. You need to review your exact needs but I suspect I probably won't really bother with Leopard and my next jump will be new hardware and something that will still run 10.6 and PPC generation applications.
As for cost, it is what the market will bear. I haven't checked prices recently but for quite a while Tiger and Leopard held strong on resale. I can't imagine it going on for much longer because even if people are happy running old Macs the hardware will eventually give out and people will have to buy newer computers.

I have iMovie '11, and I am unable to access mpeg HD video files that I want to edit. The files are fine (I can open and watch them using VLC), but I cannot seem to import the files into iMovie. File Import does not work. Any suggestions??

More detail: I have a bunch of mpeg HD video files that were shot on a SONY HDR-HC3 Handycam camcorder. I would like to edit these into a single video production. I can access and view the mpeg files using VLC (Quicktime does not work with them). However, I seem to be unable to get the mpeg files to interface with iMovie '11 -- I cannot use the File --> Import command, nor can I drag-and-drop them into iMovie.
Is there something anyone might suggest to get this to work? Or are these files incompatible with iMovie? If so, I assume I must purchase a different video editing software program (e.g. Adobe Premeir Pro). Suggestions???
Many thanks in advance for your time and consideration

Yes, I tried that.   The files were ordered by their original numbers as imported from the camera, but I batched them through Phocoshop to downsize all of them into a more manageable file size.   I opened that destination folder from quick time from where it said select image sequence.   I clicked on the first one and opened it.   The result was a large image with an arrow indicating a movie was ready to go.   When I pressed the arrow, though, I realized it had only imported that one frame so there was no movie.   The files are Jpgs and are about 450 KB each.
    To your knowledge are there any links to iMovie tutorials or quick time tutorials that may address this situation? Maybe there will be one I haven't looked at yet.
    Thanks

Where is the silver lining in a busted nose? G5 - Uni with Tiger

In the summer this year i was mugged for my brand new mac book pro - what a bargain! i got change of a busted nose and few black eyes.
What im left with is an adapter and remote thingy, and the system disks.
Now my question is - can i use the laptop disks to upgrade my G5 flat screen , currently running 10.3.9 to Tiger? if so what problem mught i encounter going from G5 to Universal application software. And will I jeapordise the compatability with Final Cut Pro (as Intel macs use different video cards) and other non Universal aplications currently running?
Any thoughts arevery welcome
What i'm most after are the cool imovie sound effects which are bundled with the latest version - any other thoughts?

Ouch - sorry to hear about your mugging.
Now my question is - can i use the laptop disks to upgrade
my G5 flat screen , currently running 10.3.9 to Tiger?
No you can't. Your Tiger install package is written for an Intel Mac and is not Universal and even if Universal, the Tiger install package that ships with a new Mac is model and build specific so it can't be used to install Tiger on your G5 flat screen or on any other Mac (unless the identical model and build) regardless.
If you want to install Tiger on this PPC Mac, you need to purchase a Tiger retail install package.

Using Mail in Tiger, Messages in .mac account not deleted

I have recently upgraded my Slot loading iMac to Tiger. I have had a .mac account for many years.
I'm just starting to use Mail in Tiger to see if I can filter the Junk mail. The filter training seems to work OK, but once I delete the Junk messages in Mail, a copy of the Junk stays on my .mac account.
To delete the Junk on .mac, in Mail I have clicked "synchronize .mac account" and also "Erase deleted messages .mac account", but it dosen't seem to work.
What am I doing wrong? Do I have to wait? Is there a time lag? Or am I just using the wrong tool?
I searched the discussions for this but could not find a smilar question.
Thanks!
Slot loading imac Mac OS X (10.3)

Carlson,
I was not recommending any change, but only what was selected, to see if it might provide a clue -- it did not.
Create a New Mailbox, as On My Mac. Open the troublesome message (or highlight in the list of messages), and click Message, and in the pull-down choose Move Message, and target the New Mailbox you have just created.
Close Mail, and in Safari see if the message remains in the Inbox, on the server. If not, then in the Finder, open Home/Library/Mail/Mailboxes and find the New Mailbox you just created, and delete it.
Relaunch Mail, and see if any trace of the message remains. I have been researching some similar behavior with some bad acting messages, but not with an IMAP or .mac account, so I don't know if this will work, or not?
