Will not read tiger software

I recently bought tiger to upgrade from panther and my imac will not read the software disk. it may read it once in every ten tries but after having to restart the computer it will not read it. So I have been unable to install it. can anyone help?
imac g4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

What exactly do you mean by, "will not read the software disk?" Do you mean it won't start up from the DVD? Do you mean you cannot list the files on the DVD?
Does the disc have a black label with large gray "X" or does it have a gray label? The latter is an OEM disc that can only be used with the computer model with which it came. Does the DVD have the word Upgrade printed on the label?
If you are trying to boot from the DVD are you doing it correctly? Insert disc into the optical drive and wait until it mounts on the Desktop. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Wait for the gray startup screen to appear. Release the key when the spinning gear appears beneath the dark gray Apple logo.

I have produced DVD using iMovie, now want to download this back to iMovie, will not read DVD, have been told a piece of software available - any chance anybody knows what?

Handbrake is not ideal for this.
You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
If you are running Lion:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

I have iphoto '08 version with an imac osx 10.5.8. It will not read my RAW files from my Nikon D800 - a very new model.How can I get it to read my RAW files?

my somewhat old imac osx 10.5.8 with iphoto '08 will not read my RAW files from my new Nikon D800 camera - a new model on the market( 5 months or so). How can I get iphoto to read my RAW files?

iPhoto 08 would not read RAW files from that new a camera. You need to upgrade so you can get more up-to-date version of OS X and iPhoto. Another possiblity is see if iPhoto 11 will run on 10.5.8, if so you should update. You can also attempt to run Software Update and see if it finds a newer release of iPhoto 08 that supports newer RAW formats.

PC will not read disc which came with N95 8GB Phon...

Upgraded to N95 8GB. So far so good, then !!!. Came back from hols to link with PC to find that the CD drive and DVD drive will not read the disc which came with the phone. PC will still read other discs but not the Nokia disc. What is the disc format and can I get what is on the disc elsewhere?

It's probably just a damaged disc. You can download the PC Suite software from www.nokia.com/pcsuite, as far as I know you can't get replacement CDs.

My NI-FBUS 4.0 disk will not read. Can I get a copy?

My computer's hard drive crashed and my programs need to be re-installed, but my NI-FBUS 4.0 disk will not read. I suspect it is corrupted somehow. Can I buy/get a copy of the disk to match my USB FF interface?

Photoshop Elements 11 will not read the new Nikon Raw/NEF

Photoshop Elements 11 will not read the new Nikon Raw/NEF (from Nikon D750) files even though codec has been downloaded - what do I do?

Unfortunately your software pre-dates the camera. Consider buying PSE13. But it is possible to download and install the latest free DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in PSE11 (keep your NEF originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.8
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.8
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

my ipod touch gen 4 will not recovery after software update. have tried everything. device not recognized by itunes. any ideas?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My disc drive on Mac Pro will not read installation dvds

I have been trying to install some software on my Mac Pro - OS 10.8. It will not read the installation DVD. It acts like it is blank. I thought this was a faulty dics drive so I purchased a new one from OWC and installed it and it is doing the same thing!
Please help I payed a lot for this software and cant use it.

Since you're on your second optical drive, does the new one (and, for that matter the old one) read any optical disk? If it does, then there might still be something wrong with the disk from that manufacturer. If no disk is readable, I'd doublecheck the cabling to the drive. I'd also call OWC tech support. I've dealt with them for many years and they've always been very helpful with any problems.
As far as the software goes, you bought a license as well as an installer disk. Does the manufacturer have a website from which you could download a trial version of the software that could be converted to a full, operating version with the license key that should have come in the box with the disk?

Hi David. I don't have as modern a Macbook Pro as you, mine is a 2012 model, but perhaps I can help. I often find that my SD card will not load when I first insert it. I have to remove it and then put it into the slot again firmly.
You also haven't posted any information about the SD card. What size is it, do you know how it is formatted, has it worked in that same mac previously, where did it come from, does it currently work in another device (such as your camera)? This sort of information will help to narrow down the problem.
If you post some more information I'm sure people will try to help you. In the meantime, if you look at your post again you should see "More Like This" at the bottom of the page and you may find an answer in some of those related posts.
Hope that helps.

LR 5.6 on Mac desktop all of a sudden will not read any card from any reader but will work on my laptop. I can work on previous images but not import new ones. Even if I create a catalog on laptop and import to my desktop on a thumb drive, the images are only accessible as long as the thumb drive is inserted.

Sounds like you may need to repair the Disk Permissions on your drive where your images are stored.
