It just shows the folder and question mark after it's done reading the disc. If I hold ALT as the imac starts to select the disc, it's just a white screen. Could I run it in bootcamp or some software like that? Can I just buy any grey colored intel imac Tiger disc and use it?
The tiger disc's I baught off amazon and I checked the disc's for any visible damage and they are in good condition. they came in the original packaging with the books. the image on the disc itself is its black with a siver/grey X with an apple logo above it with "Mac OS X Tiger includes Xcode2 install DVD" to the left of the X and the copyrite info on the right side of the X.
wich brings me to the idea I had and then I can add an external dvd after the fact possibly. But My question is if I try to install them using a newer mac with a dvd drive set to install tiger onto my external drive via USB then once the install is compleate re install the hard drive inside this tower will it then see there is an os system on the hard drive?
Drop it - it shouldnt even be a discussion point ( though i appreciate that it is ). If dropping tiger allows significant performance boosts and better development then just drop. There have been two major releases since..
I have a few older machines (a G5 imac etc) which can't run CrossOver but they are running leopard. I have a really old ibook which is running 10.3.9 but again it can't run CrossOver either. You have a stable release which is an option for the Tiger holdouts. Leave it available to them if need be and drop development support for Tiger in future versions. I would like to see a future version that uses the full 64-bit power of Snow Leopard.
tiger is what, 4-5 years old? In the mac world that is ages. I understand in the PC world people take a while to upgrade because of compatibility problems and general pain in the ass. Mac OS upgrades just work, there is NO reason for people to still be on tiger. Please, advance CXO, faster better taking advantage of all the new tech apple rolls in.
C: Develop a strain of Crossover Games and Crossover for each OS (Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard) so that it cranks out the most of Crossover GAmes fro each platform plus makes crossover games smaller (No PowerPC Stuff in Snow Leopard Version, snow leopard optimizations in snow leopard version, same for leopard and tiger)
Hey im just a pore linux user who came from windows so if its fine if you lol at this, but cant people upgrade from tiger to ... something else if there not happy with it.
i think that there cant be more that 5 people with it.
