Where can I obtain original G4 Tiger disks/software?

Please help. New to Mac.
Does anyone know where I can get the disks for my PowerMac G4; 10.4.11. I was given my Mac by a friend who can not find his original disks. Also, does anyone know if I can upgrade to Leopard or Snow Leopard?

You don't provide enough info on your Mac model, but you can probably run Leopard 10.5. You may have to add more RAM.
If you would like to have more information on your Macintosh (model, date of production, etc) then enter your serial number at this site. http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html

  • Where can I obtain the AHT on disk for my Mac Pro 4.1?

    Where can I obtain a disk (iso) of the AHT for my Mac Pro 4.1 (latest OS X Yosemite) that I am busy upgrading?

    If you can fiddle with file permissions without going nuts, the original gray discs or the downloads mentioned (once the .dmg is mounted) provide a roughly 60 to 100 MByte .diagnostics [invisible] directory at:
    /Volumes/disc_name/System/Library/CoreServices/.diagnostics
    You can see this folder (on the DVD or in the download) with the Finder by looking in CoreServices, using the Find command and specifying name .diagnostics and Visibility [invisible].
    Open a second Finder window and navigate to the comparable place in the current Directory structure:
    /System/Library/CoreServices
    drag and drop the .diagnostics directory from the DVD or the download in one window to the current Core Services folder in the other window. Observe carefully to see that it actually does the copy, as Find-ing it in the current directory structure is quirky.
    You may have to authenticate as Admin, or you may already have access --
    -- otherwise you can change the permissions of the current CoreServices folder to allow you to Read & Write
    -- don't forget to change permissions back if you modified them.
    NOW try Restart and hold the D key.

  • How can I obtain Panther or Tiger for my '01 Power Mac?

    My computer will not support Leopard and am stuck with OS X 10.1. Where can I obtain an upgrade to 10.3 or 10.4? Apple Store does not cary these systems or upgrades to these systems.

    DRodrigues, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Tiger install DVDs are in short supply. Tiger is no longer available at the Apple Store but is still 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 and M9639Z/A . Also look on eBay. Be sure & buy a retail version (black with silver X) and not a model specific version (gray).
    Also check this web store http://www.lacomputercompany.com/cgi-bin/rpcart/index.cgi?command=dispitem&type= sku&sku=19521

    where can I find the Start up disk on theMac Book Air?
    How can I delete files from it?

    The startup disk is the internal SSD in your MBA.  You may delete files by draging the file  to Trash (or clicking on them and then execute COMMAND+Delete).  Then empty Trash.

  • Where can i buy original memory for my macbook pro 13inc mid 2012 and how much is this ?

    Where can i buy original memory for my macbook pro 13inc mid 2012 and how much is this ?

    "Memory sold by the Apple Online Store is guaranteed to be compatible with your Macintosh."
    http://store.apple.com/us/mac/mac-accessories/memory
    Other than Apple there are only two vendors with which I have personal experience and can recommend: Crucial and OWC. People have reported problems with many other brands, yet Crucial and OWC's prices are as good as any you are likely to find.
    Go to Crucial and download the little app that examines your system and recommends RAM upgrade options.
    Their prices are good but don't have to buy memory from them - determine what you need and buy it from Crucial or OWC / MacSales. You'd be paying Apple a lot more than either one of them, and you don't have to. 

  • Where can I obtain bootcamp assistant 4.0.1 software

    Where can I obtain bootcamp assistant 4.0.1 software?

    If you had 4.0.1 on your OSX installation at some point and have a Time Machine backup, it can be restored. Bootcamp Assistant (not the Support software) is built-in into OSX as Rudegar says. The only other method is to re-install the OS it came with on an external drive and boot from it. It is an Apple code signed application, so please be careful when copying/trashing the Assistant itself.

  • How or where can I obtain, purchase or download Internet Explorer for Mac?

    I need to run a program on Internet Explorer. Where can I obtain, purchase or download IE for my Mac desktop computer?

    Running IE in a virtual environment would be an option.
    Software like VMware Fusion or Parallels do the trick.
    But you would need a valid Windows license or just run a limited demo for a couple of days.
    Goodluck

  • I want to upgrade leopard os 10.5.8 to snow leopard and then maybe to lion. Where can I buy a sow leopard disk?

    Help,
    I have a MacBook Pro and would like to upgrade the OS.
    My system is 2-3 years old and came with Leopard -
    It is up to date with Version 10.5.8 and has a 2.5 GHZ Intel Core 2 duo processor
    I have 4GB  667MHZ DDR2 SDRAM memory.
    I want to update to Snow Leopard and then maybe Lion.....
    It appears my systems is to old to update online. So where can I buy a Snow Leopard disk/s. My local Best Buy does not carry the disk update anymore. Where can I get the disk?
    Not to happy with my MAC right now ............. It seems to be poorly supported by APPLE.  Am I missing something   ?
    Jimmy

    You apparently missed my response.
    It can also be found by entering "Store" under the Apple home page, and typing "snow leopard" in the search window.

  • Where can I obtain a replacement key?

    I have a satellite 3000-400 with a function [Fn] key top which is broken. Where can I obtain a replacement key top?

    As far as I know you can not buy or order single keyboard parts just the whole keyboard. I recommend you to check eBay and see if you can buy used keyboard and replace it. Replacement procedure is not complicated.

    If the issue still persists, then call HP Tech Support (US)  for further assistance.
    If you are in US , the toll free # is 1-800-474-6836 .
    If you are not in US , then log on to www.hp.com , at bottom-left corner there is a world map icon, click on it and then select the region you belong to, which would then provide support options for you for that region.

    I work for HP
    If vze2mp9g wanted to know where to download the "Generic/Universal Printer Driver", he would have ASKED for that! Anyone could find what you gave him as a pathetic answer! Worse of all, you are more than likely getting paid for that answer!
    What was asked is "where can he download "HP Easy Printer Care" software!" I have the same printer with the same problem! If it's no longer available, then just say that it's not available! If you have to PURCHASE (buy it with money) it, then say how can he purchase it!
    I know that ENGLISH is a hard language to learn, but even if you look up all the words in the question on your iPad/iPod/iPhone/Android/ or what ever you have, you'll find all the meanings of the words. If you still don't understand the question, then it's English Grammer you don't understand.
    I'm asking you very nicely not to send customers on a "wild goose (a bird) chase", and be straight forward with your answer! I, personally, have called HP technical support when I first purchased my HP Color laserJet 3800dn printer, and they immediately recognized that I wasn't the average PC user who almost knows nothing about computers, and we "troubled shooted" the problem, and I was able to fix the problem without taking it to a HP dealer to fix!
    This coming Monday, June 17, 2013, I will call HP at the number your provided, and ask them if the HP Easy Printer Care software is available, and how can I obtain it. I will also mention the customer service support on HP's website forum was bad! Good customer service is to ASSIST (HELP) the customer and not just give the customer some generic answer which leaves the customer asking why wasn't the question answered "No, HP Easy Printer Care Software is no longer supported, if you want, you can download the universal printer driver for your printer." End of question.
    Thank You.
