After, follow these steps to install macOS: • Choose Reinstall macOS (or Reinstall OS X) from the Utilities window. • Click Continue, then follow the onscreen instructions to choose your disk and begin installation. If the installer asks to unlock your disk, enter the password you use to log in to your Mac. If it doesn't see your disk, or it says that it can't install on your computer or volume, you might need to. • Please allow installation to complete without putting your Mac to sleep or closing its lid. During installation, your Mac might restart and show a progress bar several times, and the screen might be empty for minutes at a time.
If your Mac restarts to a setup assistant, but you're selling or giving it away, press Command-Q to quit the assistant without completing setup. Then click Shut Down. When the new owner starts up the Mac, they can use their own information to complete setup.
Recently I have been trying to install a fresh clean tiger from the install disc onto an external usb drive. The disc is recognized by the computer. When I click the install mac os x.app It pops up with a restart button. I click it but when I restart the first thing I see is a little blue folder with a blinking mac face alternating with question mark.
Download a macOS installer, such as macOS Mojave or macOS High Sierra. To download macOS Mojave or High Sierra for this purpose, download from a Mac that is using macOS Sierra 10.12.5 or later, or El Capitan 10.11.6.
Then it just boots in my OS X 10.4.10 on my mac. Then I tried holding the C button on start up to boot onto the installation disc and nothing happens. Kesi ye judai hai aankh bhar meri aayi hai jannat 2 song mp3 download download.
What should I do to get my mac to recognize the installation disc on startup. Clear now - thanks. As you now know, booting from an external USB is not possible for you. However, you can boot from an external FireWire hard disk. I will assume that you are trying to boot from the internal optical drive. Also, be sure you are using Install DVD 1 (not 2, etc.) - if so, this should work with both of the methods you are describing.
The only method you have not tried is inserting the Install DVD 1, then going to System Preferences > Startup Disk and selecting the DVD, then clicking Restart. I would try that, just to be sure.
The alternating finder face/? Mark means the Mac cannot find a valid OS where it is looking, and it's looking on the disc in the optical drive in this case. It tries for a while, then defaults to the internal HDD which boots. Thus, the most likely explanation is a damaged Install DVD (not completely shot, obviously, since you can run the OS X installer from it, but likely damage to the region of the dvd with the bootable OS). You can call AppleCare and explain the problem, and they should be able to ship you a replacement disc set (you'll need to provide your serial number, which you can get from System Profiler). They will charge you a nominal fee to cover S&H, perhaps $20-30. Hope this helps.
Can you please clarify what you have and what you want to do? For example, your post states 'install a fresh clean tiger from the install disc onto an external usb drive' - which i interpret as you want to install Tiger onto an external usb hard disk and use that to boot from. Is that what you want to do? Or do you mean install onto your internal hard disk drive from an external usb optical drive?
