Short answer = you can't - Apple produced disks have attributes that cannot be copied- this article explains the difficulties with Tiger install disks -.The ability to install, reinstall, or upgrade to Tiger remains important, but it is increasingly difficult. Mac OS X 10.4 install discs have been discontinued by Apple and are no longer sold at retail. Finding an installer requires buying a new or used copy from a reseller – or borrowing a copy from a friend, consultant, or other Mac user.To increase the challenge, there are different versions of the Tiger installer for PowerPC and Intel Macs. Apple never released a Universal Binary of the full installer, instead releasing separate PowerPC and Intel versions. Sony net md walkman mz n505 driver for mac. Some later updates were available as Universal Binaries, but not the full OS installers.Every Mac sold during the Tiger era came bundled with a grey Mac OS X installer DVD.
These discs will reinstall the OS on that model of Macintosh, but they may not work with other Macs using the same processor. There is (I’m sure) an underlying consistency to what discs will work with what models based on system architecture, but these relations are often not user discernible.
On practical level, it’s usually a trial-and-error process if you don’t have the right disc.On the PowerPC side, the situation is easier. Apple sold several versions of Tiger at retail, culminating with a 10.4.6 full install DVD. These discs will work on all supported models of PowerPC Macs and are the best ones to have or try to find via resellers. The bundled install discs that came with G4 and G5 Macs do not work across the board on all models – again trial-and-error.

The first machine I tried to install my shiny new copy of Tiger onto was my Powerbook G3 Lombard (Bronze Keyboard). That's when I found out that Apple decided to remove my laptop from the list of supported installs.Now I had only three options: (1) stay with OSX 10.3.9, (2) wait for to support Tiger, or (3) find a workaround. I chose door number three.I had just spent a large chunk of money on new memory and a larger hard drive only to find out that Apple's newest OS won't work. Some internet searching proved that the pre-releases of Tiger did work with the Lombard Powerbooks, so my belief was that Apple just changed the installer to exclude my favorite computer. I was correct. Jrsharp's article is no longer to be found at that link. Here it is-though the process he describes is more elaborate than the methods described above, it's technically interesting, or actually useful if you can't follow the approaches above for some reason:Installing Tiger on LombardOk guys, I know what I said earlier about not getting Tiger to install, but I got to thinking about it and I had an idea.
After digging around on the Tiger Install DVD, I found my answer. Here's what I did to get the installer to install on my Lombard:First, I created a CD/DVD master image from the Tiger Install DVD using Disk Utility. Then, I mounted the image. Then I found the OSInstall.dist file in:/System/Installation/Packages/OSInstall.mpkg/Contentson the image. jonsaw: open it with TextEdit Near the top of the file is a line that specifies a list of 'badMachines', or some such.
In that list is 'PowerBook1,1', the model code for the PowerBook G3 Lombard. I simply modified that entry to read 'PowerBook3,1'. I then unmounted the image and burned it to DVD-R. My Lombard booted right up the installation DVD as it had before, but this time I received no error messages regarding unsupported hardware.So, there you have it!
It turned out to be much simpler than I had expected. Now, I must admit that I have not performed the installation of Tiger yet, so I cannot yet verify that the installation will complete successfully, but I plan to install a new HD in the machine and test it out at least before going back to Gentoo. I really don't think Tiger will perform very well on this old machine, but it's fun to try it out.:)Now, a note for Lombard users without a DVD drive: I would expect that you could perform the same operation on the CD version available as a special order from Apple.jonsaw comment:This is a brilliantly simple hack. However, changing the 'badmachine' listing to 'PowerBook3,1' prevents the DVD from installing onto a Powerbook G3 Firewire (Pismo).
I think it's better to delete the reference to Powerbook1,1 altogether.
