If anybody wants to know what discsets will run on their Mac; just let me know your Mac Model-Identifier. If You can't find it: Start a programm called "Terminal" (in the Utilities-folder) and type: sysctl hw.model Then confirm this command witht pressing the "enter"-key. Now Terminal finds your...

Hi; Since I collect over more then 3 years these sets; I can confirm that this set with the printed code 2Z691-5518-A indeed can install on any eMac. There are only 2 Modell-Indintifiers of the eMac: the PowerMac4,4 and PowerMac6,4. Both Macs will install from this set. This set howeven can...

Have you tried to startup your Mac while holding the Shift key? It could be a corrupt Spotlight-file. Same symptoms. And yes, you should defenitely put in 512 SODIMM SDRAM. Greetings from the Netherlands / Germany

Mostly it is a hardware related problem such as Diskfailure. Try to startup from the Tiger installation disc and go to Utilities/Disc Utility. Check/repair your disc structure / filesystem and file-permissions. If it's the harddisc it will show up in this programm. If so; connect your Mac to...

I have problems with my LaCie drive too; but only after updating my iMac7,1 to 10.5 Leopard. If it is wired with a Firewirecable and I start up my Mac it will be visible on the desktop. But when I disconnect my LaCie and later on I reconnect the disc again it will not be visible at all. I have...

With this Camshell; you cannot startup from the USB-port; only the FireWire-port. The CD that's been rejected on insert; does this happen with all CD's? Are you sure it's a CD; not a DVD? Is the drive well connected with the cable from the harddrive and motherboard?

Hi Nixgeek; I was always under the impression that dual-layer DVD's could be read in all DVD-players, but that to burn one you have to have a special drive that can burn dual-layer DVD's. Most of the Installerdiscs (the Grey ones) are already dual-layer DVD's and should also be readable in a...

At the beginning of the actual install; the installer also checks for readibility of the OS X Installer Disc in your specific drive. Did you run that all the way through the end without errors?? If so; the problem is not on the DVD itself.

The 366 mhz model never had a DVDdrive in it; only the 466 model (Special Edition in Graphite or KeyLime) had one. So even if you find the right DVDdrive; I doubt it's gonna work on that 366 Model. I've had a few of these Clamshells in the past and taken them apart a few times, but to my...

If it is hooked up with FireWire it sometimes helps to start your Mac while deleting the PRAM, by pressing CMD ALT P R (4 keys) at startup intill you hear the Startup-Chime for the second or third time. Then start your Mac the normal way. I have had this a few times with an external harddisc. It...

I am certainly not doing that at all; what makes you even think that? I have original installer discs collected in case someone has lost or damaged theirs; anyone can buy them on ebay. The only problem with that is that it is hard to figure out on what Mac these grey discs will allow you to...

What Mac do you exactly have? What OS needs to be installed? (Which came with the original buying of the Mac)

Why don't you just ASK the former user for the name and password? If you know them you can also change it; very easy to do. If this is not possible; find ANY Tiger Installation disc; doesn't have to be for Your modell specific. Start with that disc the Mac and go to the menubar to reset the...

That depends; What exact modell do you have? For some iBooks there were install-discs with 10.4 on it that will run on this G4 iBook. To find out I have to know the exact Modell-Identifier (Machine-ID) of your iBook. Look under "About this Mac / More Info / Hardware / Modell-Identifier"...

What model do you have exactly? Look into: "About this Mac" "more info" "Hardware" "Modell-Identifier" What does it say there? Do you hasve ANY disc at all?

You could also try to find out if ***.

What iBook do you exactly have? (More specific; give the deatails about processorspeed modell-identifier) and what do the installerdisks look like; what's written on the diskset? There could also be an harddrive-problem. Check the disk with a connected firewirecable from another Mac in Target-mode.

What G5 exactly do you have? (modell-Identifier). I can check if there is any change of getting a hardware-specific set that would work on your Mac. I collect these sets for over two yeays now. Retailversion of Tiger (the black disc) are just about 80-120 dollars on Ebay; not cheap. Greetings...

Is the retail-disc a copy or an original? If it's a copy it could be an compatibility-issue of +R or -R dvd with the drive you have. If it's a black one; it is damaged; dirty or you drive could have a problem. Greetings from Germany.

Use an external DVDdrive with a firewireconnection. Do you still have the original OSX DVD installer for your Mac (Not the downloaded one). I collect these discs, so maybe I can help you with the right diskset. Greetings from Germany
