Why will my isight g5 not let me install osx 10.5.2 from an imac install disk

i have a isight g5 with tiger running on it. i have purchased  some osx 10.5.2 imac install disks, but when i try to install it on my g5, i get the message "this cannot be installed on this computer"  i was led to beleive that 10.5.2 should be ok.

You were mis-led. Machine specific installer DVDs may not work at all on other models. Furthermore, the Leopard DVD you have was probably intended for use on an Intel iMac and will not work on a PPC machine.
Use the installer DVD that came with your computer or purchase only a Retail Leopard installer set.

  • Trying to install update 8.1.3, my iPad says I need 1.5 gb but I actually have 17.1 gb. Why will it not let me install?

    Trying to install update 8.1.3, my iPad says I need 1.5 gb but I actually have 17.1 gb. Why will it not let me install?

    It's probably telling you that you need 1.5 more GB than you have available. Hook up your device to iTunes on the computer you sync with and do the update from there. OTA updates require a lot more memory than ones done via iTunes.

  • I have a Netgear NAS which uses  Stora software. Mavericsks will not let me install the software as it is not from an approved developer. Is there any way around this?

    I have a Netgear NAS which uses  Stora software. Mavericks will not let me install the software as it is not from an approved developer. Is there any way around this?

    There is, but why do you need the s/w installed? The NAS should have a web admin interface, accessible via ip address (http://<ip address>) which should allow all the needed configuration that is required for it to work with machines running os x.
    Try to install as little s/w as you need to do something in Mavericks or any OS as it is usually the cause of future issues or problems.
    If you're intent on installing the s/w, go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General and If you have tried to run it before, it should be listed there. You can then "un-block" it should you wish.

  • TS2634 why will my charging cable not work on my ipad?

    Why will my charging cable not work on my ipad?

    Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. WHen you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot then try again.
    Try unplugging/replugging the cable. I can't tell if you have a lightning or older 30 pin cable, but if you have the 30 pin one it can look like it's in but not be making a total connection.
    Look in the port, do you see any dust or lint? THat can mess with the connection.
    Are you trying to charge via USB or plugged into the wall? It's best charged plugged into the wall with its supplied power block.

  • Apple will not let me install ITunes - Help

    ITunes would not start - error Quicktime needs to be reinstalled. So I removed quicktime through the control panel and then went on the Apple site to reinstall Quicktime. Website kept saying "Thank you for installing....". So, I uninstalled ITunes too thinking that would help. Went back to Apple website and tried installing ITunes. Same thing, "Thank you for installing..." My computer does not have either program in it and the website will not let me install it. I do not know how to get it back on my computer. Please help

    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 80070002, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?)

  • I purchased quick time pro, and attempted to download quick time 7, but it says I have quick time x installed.  I deleted quick time x but it still says it is there and will not let me install.

    I purchased quick time pro, and attempted to download quick time 7, but it says I have quick time x installed.  I deleted quick time x but it still says it is there and will not let me install.

    In the optional install items-Quick Time is not an option. I am on Leopard.
    Then you either:
    1) never had QT X installed and could not have deleted it since QT X is only installed on Snow Leopard (OS X v10.6), Lion (OS X v10.7), and Mountain Lion (OS X v10.8) systems or...
    2) you are actually running Snow Leopard (OS X v10.6) and not Leopard (OS X v10.5) as you just stated.
    Please confirm which statment is actually correct.

  • Why will my I phone not connect with my IMac it pairs?

    Why will my I Phone not connect with my IMAC it pairs?

    Since you use the work "pairs", I must assume you're talking about bluetooth.
    Unless you're trying to use the personal hotspot to tether the computer to the phone, you can't do that...
    You can only use bluetooth with a computer for tethering.  Bluetooth file sharing is not supported. Neither is bluetooth sync.
