Where can I get a Ibook g4 install disk

Looking to find a reinstall disk for my Ibook G4 Where can I get this or do I have to buy a os x disk?

Hello,
Your best to buy the retails version of Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5 Leopard.
If your iBook is above 800Mhz processor and the memory is above 512MB, hen Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard is what I'd be buying.
You can obtain these disks from Amazon, eBay or other online Mac parts vendors.
Be wanted, these disks can be expensive to buy.
If your looking for the original system installation disks (they are grey disks) then your best place to look is at a specialist Apple stockist or eBay.
Best of luck.

  • Where do I get the Windows 8 install disk

    My Computer - Macbook pro 15", Retna Display (mid-2012), 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7, 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    So I would like to be able to play some pc games on my mac. I have bootcamp and I know to hold the options key after each restart to change, but my question is where can I get a Windows 8 disk that it ask for (it ask for windows 7 but the apple guy told me windows 8 would work). I would like a link, not just a comment like, bestbuy. Which they probably have anyways....

    When you buy the Product Key from the Microsoft Store, the Download Manager (.exe) when run allows you to download an ISO image. An ISO image is a software disk image of a physical CD/DVD which can be burned to a physical CD/DVD depending on size.
    From the Microsoft link...
    Overview
    When you download Windows from Microsoft Store, you have two options: You can download a collection of compressed files, or you can download an ISO file. An ISO file combines all the Windows installation files into a single uncompressed file.
    If you choose to download an ISO file so you can create a bootable file from a DVD or USB drive, copy the Windows ISO file onto your drive and then run the Windows USB/DVD Download Tool. Then simply install Windows onto your computer directly from your USB or DVD drive.
    When you download the ISO file, you must copy it onto a USB or DVD. When you're ready to install Windows, insert the USB drive or DVD with the ISO file on it and then run Setup.exe from the root folder on the drive.
    On a Mac, once you have the ISO file, you can burn it to a physical DVD using Disk Utility (Yosemite): Burn a disk image to a CD or DVD.

    I have an iMac G3 with Mac OS 9.1. Where can I get restore disks for it?

    Try contacting Apple support. You may be asked for the computer's serial number, and there will likely be a charge for the disks.

  • Harddisk crashed, replace a new harddisk, where can i get OS ?

    Hi,
    My Macbook have harddisk fault, and I replace a new harddisk by myself.
    But, I have a question that where can I get the OS to install to the new harddisk ?
    Unfortunately, I don't have any backup of my old harddisk before it crash, Any one know that where can i download the OS for my new harddisk ?
    Many Thanks.

    You can't download the Mac OS. You'll need to buy the 10.6 Snow Leopard install disk. They're $29 USD in the United States.
    Once you have it put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. You should see your hard drive in the left hand column along with your other drives. Click on the drive and select the Erase tab. Set the format value to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Erase button. After that has finished select the Partition tab. Type in a Name for your hard drive and select how many partitions you want from the Volume Scheme. The usual setting is one partition. Click on the Options button after you've selected a partition to make sure it's set for GUID. Then click the Apply button and after the Partitioning is done quit Disk Utility. You can now follow the instructions on the install screen

  • I am trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro 13", when i run bootcamp it tells me that there is not a windows support software available for my computer. Where can i get the windows support software for my macbook?

    I am trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro 13", when i run bootcamp it tells me that there is not a windows support software available for my computer. Where can i get the windows support software for my macbook?

    Apple only supports Windows on certain hardware.
    http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    Apple provides their framework for Windows to run on a Mac, a piece of software called a Hybrid MBR that bridges the gap between how Windows reads the drive partition table (MBR) and EFI/GUID partition table that Mac's use.
    It doesn't mean Windows can't run on your Mac, a third party solution called rEFIt will also bridge the gap and allow booting of more that just Windows, Linux as well for a triple booting computer.
    Your hardware has to meet the other requirements the second and third operating system needs as as being able to install drivers that will work for your hardware, especially the fans or they will run loud and fast by default.
    http://refit.sourceforge.net/
    This above is a advanced procedure which requires knowledge how computers and various operating systems, drive formats and so forth work.
    I even admit I don't know everything myself, but I experiment on a separate piece of Mac hardware (out of warranty/AppleCare) designed for this purpose so in case something screws up I'm not taking down my only machine and can use the other to get online and find solutions.
    There is a very high potential for losing your data if your using advanced/non-Apple methods to install Windows on your only Mac where Apple doesn't support it. Also one shouldn't be doing this on Mac hardware that is under AppleCare or warranty as it might be voided. Proceed at your own risk and education.

  • Can I run Mac Os 10.4 on my iMac G4 Dome? Where can I get install disks?

    I have an iMac G4 that currently has Mac OS10.3.9 installed.  I am unable to connect to the internet using my Airport Extreme even though there is an Airport card installed..  Can I install Mac OS 10.4 and if so where can I get installation CD's/DVD's for PPC G4? 

    Check in the Airport forums here:
    AirPort
    There may be a way to change security settings on the AEBS to accomodate the older OS.
    As for OS versions, any iMac G4 can run OS 10.4.11, and those with a 1ghz or faster processor can run OS 10.5.8. However, demand has pushed prices of legitimate retail install packages for older Mac OS versions sky-high---often more than the computer is worth used---and has also attracted the attention of scam artists. There are NO downloadable versions of the Mac OS since 7.5. Any offered are scams and piracy.
    You cannot use the gray system install/restore disks that came with another Mac model. A retail disk is black witha  big X and will NOT say "Up to Date" on it.
    Another caution: Some older G4 iMacs shipped with CD drives, not DVDs, and most Tiger retail disks out there are DVDs. Make sure your computer can use a DVD system disk before your order.

    Hi, original poster here. I did not realize this would generate more discussion so I never checked back. I still had my warranty, so I took it to the store and got it repaired. The original problem I had was a screen with this icon flashing when I attempted to boot it up:
    When I took it to the store, they told me that my computer was unable to communicate with the hard drive. I had this same problem three times in two months where this screen reappeared. Each time I went back to the store and they said the cause was different, but they were all hardware issues that physically made it impossible to communicate with the hard drive. After the third time, they simply replaced my laptop and I haven't had the same problem.
    So in short: The reason you can't reinstall or move anything when you encounter this screen appears to be because nothing can communicate with the hard drive in the first place. You can't reach the disk or anything on it. So I don't believe it's possible to do anything besides take it to a physical store and have it fixed.

  • Where can I get a copy of MAC OSX 10.4 to install?

    I am trying to install Maya 6 on my mac and I get the error that my computer is too new... where can I get a copy of MAC OSX 10.4 to install? I have an old powerPC that I could put this on instead of my newer computer. My company does not have to resources to upgrade the copy of Maya at the moment, so this is my best option.

    Tiger install DVDs are in short supply. Tiger is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available for $129 by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753). For other sources, do a Google search for MA453Z/A (10.4.6), MA190Z/A (10.4.3) and M9639Z/A (10.4) . Also look on eBay. Be sure & buy a retail version (black with silver X) and not a model specific version (gray) See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1976068 Can I use another Mac's system restore disc on my Mac?
    Also check these web stores: http://www.lacomputercompany.com/cgi-bin/rpcart/index.cgi?command=dispitem&type= sku&sku=19521  http://www.allmac.com/shop/index.php?cPath=5_10003
    Possible Alternative if you are currently using Panther 10.3 – Do a Google search for Tiger 10.4 Upgrade DVD. It will upgrade your 10.3 to 10.4, but it doesn’t contain the full retail Tiger installer. Should be cheaper than the retail Tiger install DVD.
    After you install the base 10.4.x, update to the final Tiger version 10.4.11. Here's the link for the 10.4.11 combo update http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
    Look at this link Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger Installing Software Support Page
    http://www.apple.com/support/tiger/install/
    You can also download the Tiger Installation and Setup Guide
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/Tiger_Install_Setup_Guide.pdf
    When you upgrade the OS, do it via Archive & Install. See About the Archive and Install feature http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710 Be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings. Also, repair permissions before and after the install.

    Hi, Josh. Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    You can try giving Apple a call to see if they have the original system CDs available. If they have them, they will send them to you for a fee.
    There is no download for Mac OS X 10.4. You need to buy a full retail version.
