Won't install OS from Tiger disk.

MacBook 1.1 667MHz Intel upgraded to OS X 10.4.11. Need to downgrade* to OS X 10.4.10. Took out trusty Tiger install disk (legally purchased from Apple, black, grey X, version 1.4) pop it into MacBook and MacBook won't boot up from disk (option, command-., "C", nothing works.)
So, I read "Help" that says to double-click on installer icon. Dialog box pops up: "Mac OS X 10.4 cannot be installed on this machine...."
Question: How can I "Archive and Install" OS X 10.4.10 on my OS X 10.4.11 MacBook?
Please speak slowly, I am hard of understanding.

*QuickTime 7.3.1 broke Flash, which I have to have.

Perhaps I have forgotten, but I don't recall - and can't find - any Intel/MacBook-specific install disks that came with the computer. Should I have had these? If I can rummage through the attic and find it/them, can I "Archive and Install" just like a PPC machine?

My new blank hard drive won't install OSX from the disk?

For some reason my Mac book pro won't install OS through the install cd or through the flash drives. It will load the disk but then freeze when I click install. It won't load through the USB either. I have done multiple diagnostics at the mac store and they tell me that my hd is bad. Twice the hd was fresh out of the box and installed that day. I spoke to a supervisor via phone when I called apple care and he told me that unless I have all apple parts in the computer they can't accurately diagnose the issue. It feels like they're trying to con me into paying double for a "apple hd". What can I do to get my computer working?

I would purchase an external USB enclosure for the HDD. With the HDD in the enclosure, install OSX and then mount in your MacBook. If you continue to have problems, it could be a faulty internal SATA cable.

Snow Leopard Won't Install Even With Replacement Disk

I got my original Snow Leopard, that I bought at Apple, a week ago. I went through the whole installation process, and about halfway through, it restart and ejected the disc. After that the disc wouldn't read. So I got support from Apple and they sent me out a replacement disk that I got today. I start installing and the EXACT same thing happens again. Any ideas on what the problem is? And yes, the disc drive is working fine.

Make sure that at least 1 GB of memory is recognized in System Profiler with status "OK" -- it is possible that some of your installed memory is defective or not properly seated. Since Snow Leopard requires at least 1 GB, your MacBook won't start up from the DVD if can only use less than this amount.
Also consider running the Apple Hardware Test and/or Kelley Computing's Rember on your MacBook, especially if you have replaced any of its original memory with third party parts.
Because Snow Leopard is more demanding of memory performance than Leopard & has a higher minimum requirement for memory size as well, sometimes slightly out-of-spec memory modules will work fine with the earlier OS version but not with the later one.

Re-Installing iCal From Software Disk

I'm trying to re-install iCal from my Leopard Disk, and I read all the discussions online that you use the "optional installs.mpkg" function. When I get to select an application to re-install, it won't let me choose anything. It's greyed out, and it says "skip" beside each application. So how can I re-install iCal?

Use Pacifist to extract it manually, and then rerun all applicable updates.

Installing OS from a disk image

Hi,
I have quite a few systems that I need to rebuild. I've burned disk images of all the apps we need, onto a FW800 drive which has really sped things up. One thing I can't figure out though, is how to install the OS from a disk image. Each of these systems are getting a fresh hard drive with no OS installed. Booting off the install DVD works fine with fresh drives, but how does one boot into a FW800 drive with a disk image of the install DVD?
I thought cmd-opt-shift-delete was the key stroke for this, but it doesn't work for these systems, can anyone help out?
These systems are a combination of Leopard and Snow Leopard and are all Mac Pro's from the 2006-2007 to the early 2009 models.
Thanks
Stuart

Cool, thanks, I was kind of thinking along those lines, but couldn't quite put my finger on it/figure it out, that makes sense, appreciate it.
Thanks again for quick reply,
Stuart

Installing rosetta from SL Disk does not work

Hello All,
I have spent a good portion of the day trying to install Rosetta from my SL disk; using both the Optional install folder and also utilizing Pacifist software to extract from the SL disk; but without any luck. Each time I install, my iMac says that the install was successful, HOWEVER, I cannot find it anywhere on my computer; neither in my app folder, using Spotlight, or checking for Rosetta in my App folder in the System Profiler.
1. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong, and...
2. Help me install Rosetta?

1. Expecting a system-level component to have an accessible UI. Rosetta mostly works behind the scenes and isn't something which can be interacted with directly. If you know exactly what to do, you can determine whether or not it's present, but it's not worth bothering to check if you've just installed it and aren't having any problems.
2. See above.

You might want to ask that question in the Boot Camp forum.

How do you make a bootable install partition from a disk image of an install disk.

I have an iMac g4 running Leopard and would like to install OS X 10.3 on a different partition Leopard is on. However the super drive in the iMac will not read the disk I have, so I used my MacBook Pro to make a disk image of the install disk to use to install on the iMac. I do not know how to make the disk image into a bootable partition so I can install 10.3. The person I bought it from has already created a partition of the Leopard install disk and it is bootable but I do not know how he did this. Please help me. Thanks!

Could be the cd is bad. Could be a bad cd reader.
I' not sure what you are trying to do.
To install,
-- you need to boot from a cd.
-- copy a working installation from another partition. try carbon-copy-cloner
-- could try target disk mode. There is a cd sharing mode.

Reinstalling from Tiger Disk without a DVD/CD drive

I have an iBook g4 with a missing dvd/cd drive. I have my Tiger installation disk i want to use to create a clean reinstall of Tiger. What's the best way to achieve this?

You could install the OS on the computer with the missing optical drive via Target Disc Mode from another firewire enabled computer. Shut down the iBook with the missing optical drive. Connect both computers with a firewire cable. Start the iBook while pressing and holding the 'T' key until you see the firewire symbol on a blue background. Insert your install DVD into the other computer with the working optical drive and restart that computer holding down the 'C' key until the gray screen with Apple logo appears. Begin the installation procedure until you get to the "select the volume to install OS X" and select your iBook drive. Then just proceed with the installation.
After your installation is complete, drag the iBooks hard drive image that is mounted on your desktop to the trash. Shut down the iBook by holding the power button down for a few seconds, then disconnect the firewire cable and power up your iBook. You should be in business! Remember to do all of your updates after the install with Software Update. You can actually do that even before you leave target disc mode from your other computer if you'd like.
Oh.. one more thing. before you shut down or restart your helper computer (the one with the working optical drive), go to system preferences and select startup disk. Choose that computers drive to restart the computer.
Hope that helps!

Can I do this? install SL from retail disk before new MBP arrives

I have a new 17 in MBP coming from Apple in a few days.
I have a Toshiba 1Tb HD which I intend to put in it when it arrives.
While I am waiting, can I put the Toshiba in a case and do a fresh install of 10.6 from my Snow Leopard retail disk?
Presume if that will work, there is no reason not to proceed with the migration from my old MBP.
Then when the new MBP arrives all I have to is fit it.
I know you can't use the supplied install disks from a different machine, but presumably this doesn't apply to the retail SL disks which are not machine specific.
Thanks

Wouldn't any updates come through Software update anyway?
Again I don't know about SL but any updates I have ever run have also been available as .dmg files you can download directly from Apple, or at least have Software Update download them but not install them (that way you get to keep a copy). You need to install the OS, then run the various update packages until you've at least reached the version the computer needs. SU is no good if the drive won't boot the computer to the point where you can run SU. I don't think SU will do this for you while you use your older computer because I think it just looks at the boot drive and ignore any other OS versions on any other volumes.
It would be an interesting exercise and if it doesn't work, just do as you say and install when the new computer is there.

Kernal panic when booting from tiger disk

My friend just called me with a computer issue. She just got a used computer and it had a password setup. i told her how you can boot from the tiger install disk and reset it. She put the disk in and started holding down C before she turned it on. It sits there and thinks for a while and then she gets a kernal panic with the prohibitory sign before it gets anywhere (to the install screen). I have no idea what to tell her and she's 3 hours away so I can't really go over there easily.
Could the fact that she started holding down C before she turned it on make a difference?
Any help is appreciated.

The correct procedure for booting from the DVD is:
Start the computer and immediately after hearing the chime press and hold down the "C" key with one hand while inserting the DVD into the optical drive quickly with the other. Continue holding the "C" key down until the computer starts up from the DVD.
If the computer is already turned on, then insert the DVD into the optical drive. Restart the computer and immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key until the computer starts up from the DVD.
If the computer continues to panic despite the above procedure, then there's likely a major hardware problem.

Install SSD from Recovery Disks (newerToshiba), or how?

http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/System-Recovery-and-Recovery/Will-Toshiba-Recovery-Discs-properly-align...
^ See the last post of that thread. The writer made recovery disks from the new laptop, then installed the SSD and used the recovery disks to install the operating system and software onto the new SSD. (Didn't clone the hard drive, in other words.)
If you don't need to save settings and migrate files, is recovery-disks-to-SSD the best way to go?
I have a U505-S2012 Satelllite and a 256GB Crucial M4 SSD sitting here, ready to go, LoL. But I didn't know whether it was even possible to make the recovery disks install to a SSD. Or make them install to a hard drive that's smaller than the original.
Any thoughts or advice?
Thanks!

As for me it's no matter how to install win7 on the new SSD drive - fresh install, clone hdd or use Factory Recovey media. For the x220 I've used the 2nd and 3rd methods.
As for twiking of win7 after a not clean installation just use sw from Intel for their SSD or twik it youself during 10-15 min. Alignment is not a problem if you use an SSD with TRIM support.
If you need UEFI the only clean installation is the method.
x220 | i5-2520m | Intel ssd 320 series | Gobi 2000 3G GPS | WiFi
x220 | i5-2520m | hdd 320 | Intel msata ssd 310 series | 3G GPS | WiFi

New Hard drive - won't install windows from recovery disc

I am having an issue with my Satellite L505D-S5965. I replaced the hard drive (upgraded from 250 to 500GB) due to issues with the old one (which had been replaced once already) and am using the recovery disc I made before my other hard drive crashed. When I boot the computer, it says it is loading Windows files, asks for country, etc., but then doesn't display an operating system to choose and asks me to choose drivers. I can't restore it from a system image because I kept getting an error on the old drive when I tried to create one. When I've checked, it says that Windows isn't installed on the computer. I checked the BIOS and it is recognizing the new hard drive. I have also tried booting it up from the DVD/CD using the set of disks I created after I got my new hard drive previously, but it doesn't seem to even recognize them and I can't get to the Toshiba Recovery Wizard. I would order the Toshiba Recovery Media, but with the issues I'm having, I'm not sure that is the fix. I'd hate to be out another $30 on an old computer (since we also had to replace the mother board in the past few months) if I'm not sure that will cure the problem.

The usual problem is restoring to a drive with advanced-format technology. Nearly all the new drives use it. See this message from three years ago.
See this message for early installation of the driver.

Installing Drivers from Leopard disk

I installed windows and got myself through to the os seemingly ok. I popped in the leopard disk to install the drivers. From here it goes through the autorun process alright and then restarts on its own like it should. When windows loads back up I get one of those generic error reports, and no further drivers install off the "found new hardware" wizard as its described in the boot camp installation guide. Im assuming the drivers havent successfully installed because the os is not recognizing a wireless internet connection and the apple keys (volume, eject, etc.) are not working in windows.
If anyone could help me out that would be fantastic, thanks.

Any luck with this? Seems like I'm having the same issue.
