ANOTHER UPDATE: Tiger on my G4?
« Reply #15 on: September 16, 2006, 12:08:21 PM »
Hi Jane,

Mostly, if your newer Mac came bundled with a certain OS, in this case your iMac G5 came with a Tiger disk, the OS disk is specific to only certain Macs and usually more specific to that Mac.  That's just how Apple designed the disk.

If it doesn't install, and it will tell you early in the process, you will have to get a retail version of Tiger.

You don't need to install another OS first and Delocalizer will remove the languages.  But, before installing, while being prompted, go to options and deselect extra languages and any printer drivers that you don't need.  Then you won't have to run anything to remove those things in the first place.

Have fun.

Put another way, if the Tiger disk is a "retail" version, it will work on your G4. If it was included by Apple, because the machine was boxed up after Tiger was released, it may be a disk designed specifically for the G5. In that case, it probably won't work on the G4.

It won't hurt to try, however. If it works, so be it. If it won't, no big deal, you'll just need to buy a retail version ( those will work on any machine Apple supports ).

BTW, have you mentioned TS to your friend? We can use some more 'income"! smile.gif

Hi Al,  Great!  I will do that, and get rid of those languages and printer things.
Hi Jim, I will try that disk first, and if it wont work, my local Mac store is only about 6 miles away.

Do you want more people to join TS?  If so, I can tell them.  Ive forgotten how we learned about TS and the process of joining.

Thanks,

SeniorNet, yes!
But sadly I don't take part in much of their activities much any more, as they gave up Mac and are 100% PC now, at least in our town.
I still go to some of the meetings and help out though.
(I was going to teach a basic Photoshop class for Mac a few years ago, but nobody signed up, because nobody had a Mac.)
Perhaps I should connect up with the classes again, if I get a MacTel?

Yes! The discs arrived. I ripped into the package and now I don't know what to think ... they are Apple discs as far as I can tell, but they aren't in their original sealed cases. No books/manuals/guides, no registration card ... just 4 discs in plastic "round" cases.

Are these legit? Or did I get ripped off? Will they be upgradeable? Do I need a serial number or is that embedded? Will I install and have Apple zap me for using someone elses stuff?

AARRGGHH!!!!!!

Don't worry, Apple doesn't work that way, yet. smile.gif

Usually these items are OEM, that is they are original material and may have come from a returned DOA Mac or some similar situation.

As long as they install properly you can update them via net downloads with no problem since there is no serial number associated with the OS, only the computer.
Only with a new computer do you get the barest minimum of a 'manual' or guide. They figure you will use Apple Help Guide that is in the OS.

Relax, those black helicopters aren't coming for you.... ph34r.gif  toothgrin.gif

LOL! Okay, thanks.

I did get manuals with both my Jag and Panther purchases, so that's why I wondered why not manual (that I'd ignore anyhow).  ROFL!

Tomorrow's project while the lady works on my floors - put a Tiger in my *mac*.

Great idea!  When I am installing Tiger on my older Mac, I will put on that good old Blues song by Muddy Waters, Put a Tiger in my Tank!  

The Tiger disk is $129 at my local store.  I do see it cheaper other places though, but I will get it at the store.

Hi Kimmer,  Thank you for that link again, I will get it from them.
And with the $50 I save, I will buy more daylilies!
I am expanding my lily garden. Spent the afternoon trying to divide some.  But its better on the poor plant to buy new ones.

Gee, guess I'll have to go visit my pals at the nursery and find out. biggrin.gif

Oh, yes indeed, they would grow just fine in Oregon!
To visit a local nursery to see which ones are recommended would be good.

Here is a very old link(I sure need to do some new pages as these are so dreadfully outdated),
http://homepage.mac.com/janec3/PhotoAlbum10.html
of what I had planted in 2004.
Have a lot more now.
We go from 80 degrees F to about a rare low of 20 degrees, so the range is pretty wide here, and these lillies do tolerate it.  Even my husband's sister in Franconia NH, has a daylily garden, but she has to find out what ones will deal with that horrid cold.
I would just plant a variety of them and see how they do.
They really dont take much care either, they are easy.
And so pretty!
Jane

GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! My favorites are all the orange ones followed by mutant lily followed by all the rest!

I think I need to find a spot for these over in the triangle. They'd do well there, and then my neighbor could enjoy them as well.

Now - your photo album. Wow! What a wonderful eye candy treat!!!!! Thanks for sharing the link. I am in love with your outdoor pics and family pics and funny pics (cows!) ... made me smile.

THANKS!!!!!!!

Life Rule: Never mention what you paid for anything. There is always someone around who will tell you they paid half! harhar.gif And no shipping almost always follows that 'news'! flower-smilie.gif

Three kids are discussing what their dads do.
One says his dad scribbles a few lines on a piece of paper and they call it a poem and pay him $50.
The next one says his Dad scribbles a few lines and they call it a song and pay him $100.
The last kid says,"That's nothing! My Dad scribbles a few lines, they call it a sermon and it takes eight guys to pass the plates around!"
