Mac Os X 10.4 Tiger Dvd (ppc) Download
Okay, well i see a lot of you didn't get this working. Neither did i. However if you go to this torrent right here: you find all the versions of Mac OS X from 9.2 to 10.7. IF, you just need 10.4, like this torrent then its simple.
Download the torrent file, open it with your torrent client. Then usually a window pops up with the download directory at the top, and the files in the torrent in the box at the bottom. Just deselect all the checkboxes for the versions of OS X you dont need (for example 10.7, 10.6, etc) and hit ok or download or whatever. If the window doesn't pop up, then there should be some way to view the files in a torrent. Google it if you dont know.
Okay, so it takes a while to download, so i would advise you to do it at night before you go to bed & just leave your computer on. Mine finished in a couple hours.

Okay, so now in the Mac OS folder, there should be a folder called 'MacOS X 10.4.0 (Tiger)-Spanned.' Open it, and you have your 4 ISO files ready to burn to CD. Burn all 4 cd's & label them.
Put the 1st cd i(disk1) in the mac you're trying to install to, and press the 'ALT' key on a mac keyboard while booting up. After a while, you'll get a blue screen, just select the one with the picture as a CD. The name of the cd should be whatever you set it to. Make sure it's selected, click the arrow, and you're done. Currently installing tiger on a 10.3.9 700MHz iMac PowerPC G4. Portalxd Rakion Hack De Oro 2013 on this page. That torrent i linked to above is useful, you can upgrade G4's/G5's up to leopard as far as i know. You can use the leopard dvd iso included to try and jump to 10.5 if you want.
But anyway, this is my solution. Ok so i am using a windows 7 computer to download this, i did change the.toast to.iso, the mac i am trying to upgrade is a PPC G4 ( the cool pedestal ones ) its currently running 10.3 so i was reading that you can not do a direct upgrade install from 10.3 it tells me to reboot and it will install but it dose nothing. The computer reads it fine, i was wondering if i have to do it as a clean install, 10.3 will not let me wipe the drive, now it has since occurred to me that i need to be logged in as a root user to do this ( could this be my problem) the drive utility just will not let me wipe the drive in the admin account i created for this computer. So i am not a super mac user but somewhat familiar with them so i am wondering if the MAC will automatically boot the.iso image when i have wiped the OS off the computer? Or should i burn the disc with.toast or.dmg?
To accomplish this? Thanks ahead of time for anyone trying to help me out:). I know its been awhile lets just hope someone is paying attention to this thread, using power ISO on a Win 7 machine, did the change to.iso thing but i am using a Pedestal G4 iMac which has 10.2.8 on it now, the automatic upgrade will not work from this OS version, restarting and holding down C will do nothing restart with Option key only shows my local drive to boot from no DVD ( I can not burn the.iso image with the Mac as it dose not have the DVD burner. Can you even boot from a DVD with these iMacs?
This has been a tough one to figure out some help would be nice thank you. This disc is not intended to be installed on an iMac ( G4 pedestal)it is not a universal installer disc, i did alter the OSTInstall file to remove iMac from the list of banned computers, it is now installing but but there seems to be some problem now, it starts its install and then fails right at the end with an error message i have tried every install method it say my disc might be dirty it has problems reading the disc but now i can not seem to figure out how to eject the disc now, eject button on key board is no longer working i think because the previous install is no longer present? Or its archived. It says there is still something on the disc but i can not start up with the old version now to open the disc drawer, is there any tricks to getting the dvd drive to open? Like in single user mode or something? Download Visi 15 Free.
I have spent alot of time for on this for my GF ( I fucking hate Macs they are bullshit ) or can anyone point me in the direction of a 10.4 disc that is a universal installer disc and not machine specific? It's easy to install without a CD/DVD drive: 1. Make second partition on your hard drive (4.7 size) with Disk Utility, just be sure you have 10+GB of free space. You will NOT lose any data. Rename.toast to.iso 3. Mount.iso by double clicking 4.
Open Disk Utility go to Restore, then drag the MAC OS X to 'destination' and your second partition to the 'Source'. Enter passw 5. Restart and hold alt (option) button you can do the same with the another mac by connecting the destination mac in the 'target disk mode'. This is a confirmed working installer!
I renamed it from a.toast to a.iso and burned it to a 4.7gb dvd. Popped it in my old iBook G4 (ppc7450) with 1gb of RAM and a 1.33gHz processor. Booted holding Option and selected the disc, booted into the installer, formatted the drive via Disc Utility, installed the OS and it booted just fine! Only problem was that the trackpad didn't work, I ran the software update utility and let it do it's thing. Once updated to Tiger 10.4.11 everything worked perfectly! To all those having difficulties installing Tiger, this is the simplest method if you have access to your PPC system running a derivative of OSX: 1) Using Disk Utility, create a small partition of at least 4.8GB and format at Mac OSX Extended 2) Mount the install DMG by double clicking on it 3) Click 'restore' and drag the install DMG to the source box, and the new partition you made in step 1 as the target 4) Let it restore 5) Restart your mac and hold 'Option' to get to the boot loader, and choose the OSX Install DVD partition. 6) Done And to those having kernel panics in the OSX installer, the likely culprit is user installed RAM becoming faulty.
My suggestion is to remove extra RAM DIMM (for example, in the iMac G4, it is located under the metal cover at the base of the machine) and try to install. If installation succeeds, try troubleshooting the RAM. Blow compressed air into the DIMM seating and try again.
If all fails, replace the RAM.
