Why doesn't uprgrade from 10.2 to Tigerr work?

When I try installing Tiger as soon as the installation gets to "verifying destinatin volumes" it stops and I get "errors installing software, try again." What is supposed to be simple upgrade is now a mystery. In addition to the RAM that came installed I added non apple RAM and a non apple wireless card. Is this the problem? Do I have to open my computer and remove these in order to upgrade system? I hope not. I thought this was supposed to be an easy upgrade. I hope someone can help me out.
thanks

Hi Zelda,
make sure you have the black retail full install DVD. You CANNOT use gray hardware specific disks! Then unplug and remove all third-party hardware components. Now follow this procedure: 10.4 Tiger Upgrade: Decision tree+checklist

    After downloading, you need to run the installer.
    Could you please visit this site: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    If Flash Player is installed in your machine, it will give you the version number.
    In the following link, you have step-by-step instructions on installing Flash Player on Mac:

  • Why doesn't the DVD I burnt using iMovie work on my DVD recorder?

    Why doesn't the DVD I burnt using iMovie work on my DVD recorder?

    You probably used the Finder and burned a data DVD. They can only play on a computer.
    Do you have any DVD authoring software?

  • Why doesn't my iPad app for Photoshop Touch work?

    Why doesn't my PhotoShop Touch app work for my iPad mini? This happens a lot and when I do finally get in, it's erased my photo that I was working on.

    Hi can you please give us some more information about what you mean.
    Can you start the application? Can you edit photos with it?
    Does the application crash a lot while editing?
    Have you tried to restart the device? How many applications do you have running in the background?
    Thanks,

  • Why doesn't the new flash player I downloaded work? Tried it several times. Firefox 6.0.2.

    Every time I've tried to watch a youtube video in the past week it asks me to update my adobe flash player. I've tried at least 5 times over the course of several days and now I'm convinced that it isn't me. Apparently, you can't get tech support from adobe without spending money and if you ask me that sounds like a scam.
    Every time I download it I've followed the instructions perfectly. I'm using Firefox 6.0.2. After downloading it and closing my browser like it asks, I click "retry" then "finish" and it opens up a new firefox window that says I'm running the new adobe flash player. I'll try to watch a video and it doesn't work. It seems like a frivolous thing to spend this much time fixing but I want to watch the OU/FSU game online next week and I'm afraid this issue won't be sorted out in time

    I was having the same issue with installing Flash player 10.3.183.10 in both Firefox 6.0.2 and Explorer 9 -- the Task Manager would show the installer running as a process, but it would never actually install anything. It would just sit there until I killed it or rebooted.
    It seems that there are multiple versions of the separate installers needed. The installer that worked for me in Firefox was
    install_flash_player_10.exe -- a 3,017KB file
    and for Explorer, it was:
    install_flash_player_10_active_x.exe -- a 3,054KB file.
    Neither of those files was sent by the main updater page, nor did that page offer the 239KB uninstall_flash_player.exe, which is needed to uninstall the previous Flash version before one can even begin to try to update it. I had to pound through the messages in the forums to find links to those "full" installers.
    It is working now in both browsers, but jeepers creepers, it shouldn't take all day to find the installers for something that gets updated as often as Flash does.

  • Why doesn't the iTunes Apple ID and password work for iCloud on the iPhone 3GS?

    I even logged into this Apple Support Community using my Apple ID and password with no problem. It also works in iTunes. But it still doesn't work for iCloud on my iPhone 3GS. It keeps saying "Unsupported Apple ID - iCloud requires an Apple ID that is an email address (including @me.com addresses)" I even put my email address associated with my Apple account and I still get the same message. I also checked to make sure the OS software was up to date.
    What's going on and why is this so difficult to accomplish??!!

    Same problem. I enter my password correctly, and I can't get in. but I can get into Apple Support and other login pages with the same (correct) password. Arg!

  • Why doesn't Preview shortcut for 'Go to page' work

    In Preview, the keyboard shortcut key for "Go to page" is supposed to be Option-Command-g.
    This is not working for me in Preview 7.0 under OS X 10.9.5.
    How fix?

    This menu item, and its shortcut work perfectly on my OS X 10.9.5 system with Preview 7.0.
    Have you possibly assigned some other keyboard shortcut using these keys, that now supercedes this Preview shortcut.
    I looked in the Keyboard Shortcuts pane of System Preferences and did not find any listing of Option+Command+G, not even under the apps category.
    The menu item does work. But it's an inconvenience to have to mouse up there to the Go menu and then select the Go to Page item from the drop-down list. Which is why I wanted to use the shortcut.

  • Why doesn't the new ipad apps system not work?

    When I saw the new system of updating apps in ios 7.0.3 I was delighted but unfortunately it doesn't work I left at least six apps to not update but unfortunately they all updated on their own last night. So what is the point of a manual update when Apple overrides it? Now I have to delete and reinstall. We need a way of removing apps from the update list before Apple overrides it.

    If you delete the apps and reinstall them directly from the App Store, you will be installing the updated apps that you just deleted.
    If you delete the apps on the iPad and still have the older versions in iTunes on your computer - you can sync them back to the iPad and that will work to retrieve the older versions.
    When you delete apps, you delete the data and documents associated with those apps.
    Settings>iTunes & App stores>Automatic downloads>Updates>Off. Is that how you have this set up in your settings. I set my iPad this way from day one and no apps have ever been updated without me initiating the update.

  • Why doesn't my space bar on iphone 5 work

    It work sometimes but often times when I hit it, it does not space.  So when I actually look at my message, it looks like one long word.  I've tried restarting the phone and maybe hitting the space bar a little harder but no matter what I do, it still doesn't seem to respond.

    If the basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the User Guide (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW) don't solve your problem, bring your phone to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • Why doesn't my tab button on the keyboard work since upgrading to FF 16.0?

    Noticed this when trying to move on your website, GMail etc so that I can move from field to field (example: To field in Gmail, hit tab button on keyboard to move to Subject field).
    Tab button non responsive.
    Safari and Chrome still have this ability. Obviously something has occurred as I upgraded today to 16.0 and yet I was fine in 15.x.
    This key is important for speed for daily work. Please advise how I can re-activate it's functionality.
    Thank you.

    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/accessibility.tabfocus
    Note: In OS X (as of 2005-01), if this preference is not explicitly set, the “Full Keyboard Access” setting in System Preferences will be honored. All builds before that date (e.g., Firefox 1.0.x) will ignore that setting.<br />
    This pref doesn't exist by default, so if you want to use it instead of the system settings then you need to create a new Integer pref with the name accessibility.tabfocus and set the value to what you want (7 is to tab through all the fields).

  • Why doesn't the Help menu in iBooks Author work?

  • Why doesn't the FedEx Tracking number data detector work in Mail anymore?

    Hi there,
      I'm running OS X 10.8.3 and Mail 6.3 (1503).  I had an email come in that had a FedEx Tracking Number.  The data detector picked it up and I was able to right-click and select "Track My Package".  Unfortunately there was a "Communication Error" in the pop-up window so it failed.  When I clicked 'Open in Safari" it worked!  Is anyone else having this issue?

    Yes, I can confirm it no longer works. My guess is that FedEx changed their site in some way that broke the lookup from within Mail. You do indeed have to open up Safari (or some other web browser) to track a package now.
    Regards.
