Then I choose English and the installer say preparing the installation...then an allert say that this software cannot be intall in this computer.Why?

Hi Luciana!
As Cornelius stated, using discs from another Mac model, will not work.
Are you using the system discs from your PowerBook G4?
More info here Using OS X Install CDs/DVDs On Multiple Macs.
Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
Also, a Full Retail Version of the Tiger Install DVD, can be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, AppleRescue, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific DVDs.
Once Tiger 10.4.x is installed, you can use the 10.4.7 Combo Update, to install the latest version.
Tiger system Requirements
Additionally,
"Tiger ships on a DVD, but if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you’ll need CD media. When you buy Mac OS X Tiger, you qualify to purchase Tiger CDs for only $9.95."

  • Why I can't install iChat?

    can some body tell me; why I can't install iChat on OS X Mountain lion MacBook Air?

    Hi,
    Each version of iChat only works with the OS it came with.
    Broadly speaking that means iChat 4 work only in Leopard (OS X 10.5.x) - iChat 3 only works in Tiger (OS X 10.4.x) and so on.
    It is actually more important that a subset increase in the OS also has the "right" iChat version.
    iChat Updates come in the OS updates.
    There is not always an iChat update but it does mean that when it is that version will not work with lower OS versions.
    As an example iChat 4.0.8 only works in OS X 10.5.8
    Mountain Lion has Messages.
    This is iChat+
    The iOS version of Messages can send iMessages to iPhone Numbers and Apple IDs or registered devices.
    iMessages is Apple's proprietary Messaging service and has been added to what was iChat to create the Messages app for Macs.
    The Messages app does everything iChat did (Video Chats, Audio Only Chats, Screen Sharing, iChat Theater, Text chats, File Transfers with some IDs)
    It can also register an Apple ID for iMessages.
    If the same Apple ID is used on an iPhone and iPad then the iMessages will be displayed on all devices.

  • HT201364 why i don't install mac os x maverick for macbook pro retina later 2013?

    why i don't install mac os x maverick for macbook pro retina later 2013?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The Late 2013 MacBook Pro already comes with OS X Mavericks. However, if you try to download OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store, you will get a message telling you that your MacBook Pro is not compatible, when it is.
    This is caused because the Late 2013 MacBook Pro is running a special OS X Mavericks version which is different than the version available in the Mac App Store. This makes that you get an error message when you try to download OS X Mavericks even when you are using it.
    Instead of downloading OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store, you can still download OS X Mavericks to reinstall OS X through OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718 You will be able to download OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store when your MacBook Pro uses the same version as all other Macs

  • How can i install Mac OS on toshiba intel celeron satellite  L450-9P

    can i install Mac OS on in Windows 7? for dual-boot purpose

    But you can install Windows on a Mac via Bootcamp for dual boot.
    For the purposes of Windows®, a Mac is just a generic piece of PC hardware, so installing on to it is permitted by Microsoft's EULA.  On the other hand, Apple have explicitly stated in the EULA for OS X "Mountain Lion" that it should only be installed and run on Apple-branded hardware.  Section 2, Paragraph B, Sub-section 1:
    you are granted a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license […] to download, install, use and run for personal, non-commercial use, one (1) copy of the Apple Software directly on each Apple-branded computer…
    (emphasis mine)
    Section 2, Paragraph H:
    The grants set forth in this License do not permit you to, and you agree not to, install, use or run the Apple Software on any non-Apple-branded computer, or to enable others to do so.
    Also, discussion of how to run OS X on non-Apple branded hardware is against these forums' Use Agreement, Section 2 Paragraph 8, including Sub-section 1:
    Keep within the Law
    No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
    This thread'll be reported by someone if any salient advice is offered that enables the OP in his endeavour.

    A PowerBook G4 can't run Snow Leopard OS 10.6, however, it can run Leopard OS 10.5. But you must use a retail (black) Leopard install DVD.
    What does the selling of your MacBook have to do with installing Leopard on your PowerBook?

  • Can I install Mac OS X Tiger 10.4 on a dell Optiplex Gx280?

    Hi! I have a couple of questions which I can't seem to find the answers too.
    1) Can I install Mac OS X Tiger 10.4 on a Dell Optiplex GX280?
    2) Can I take the HDD from the aforementioned Dell and place it in my Power Mac G4 Digital Audio? If so, will Tiger still be on it?
    3) If I can't install Tiger on my Dell, can I rip the DVD drive out and use that to install?
    4) HDD's don't have to be Mac specific, do they?
    Thank you for your valuable time,
    Obiwan-Kenobi

  • Can't install mac os x on macbook pro anymore(now i have windows 7 on it)

    Hi,
    I have a macbook pro, there was mac os x 10.6.4 on it, after that I installed windows 7 on it, because i wanted a clean instal, but I couldn't because a kernel panic when i booted from the dvd mac os x 10.5(that I received when i bought the macbook pro), I also have a 10.6 snow leopard dvd. So I installed windows 7.
    Now I can't install mac os x because of the kernel panic, I also tried a lot of dvd that i borrowed from friends, and I also bought a new mac os x snow leopard dvd ...
    the error is just: you need to restart your computer.....
    I tried also some key combinations on startup like: Command-Option-P-R keys,Command-Option-O-F,startup from dvd: pressing C on startup, pressing D on startup,pressing option on startup.
    I searched evrywhere but didnt found a solution
    Nothing helped so can someone help me please?
    Now i have just a windows 7, i realy want mac os x back, its a lot easier in the class...
    PS: I am a noob, so dont explain it hard please

    You are just throwing things that have no bearing and can cause trouble, there is no Open Firmware, Intel based Macs use EFI, OF was part of the older G4/G5 and PowerMacs.
    Unplug everything but keyboard and boot from 10.6 DVD.
    Boot from Windows 7 DVD if you want and instead of installing, format the entire hard drive as NTFS and then try OS X DVD.
    But first and foremost.... where is your backups? do you have OS X on external drive? how about putting OS X on external hard drive?
    And you're sure this is a kernel panic? a prohibitory sign maybe?

  • Can I install Mac OS 10.4.7 CD's meant for an imac intel chip (Jan 2007)??

    Can I install Mac OS 10.4.7 CD's that came from an imac intel chip (Jan 2007) ONTO an ibook power pc G3? The ibook only has a CD drive and I believe the OS installs are CD's not DVD's as there are 2 of them. The ibook currently is running OS 10.3.9 with 23 GB on the HD at the moment. I may be able to free up some space though by dumping Microsoft Office. I know for sure I had 10.4.7 on there before but I got a used HD and there is only 10.3.9 on it. Sigh.

    Nope, sorry wont work, those are Machine & Architecture specific Install Discs.
    See Tom's, (Texas Mac Man), great info on where/how to find/get Tiger...

    Start your Mac while holding the X key down. That should force your Mac to start using the OS X partition.

    I have nokia 5130 xpress music.Why I can't install firefox in my phone.

    Hi 08ik,
    Unfortunately, the Nokia 5130 is a feature phone (a.k.a, a "dumb" phone). Firefox will currently only run on smart phone devices that operated by Android.
    Firefox is compatible with Android 2.1 and above devices with hardware requirements recommending at least 512 MB of RAM.
