This discussion is locked dirkcornelis Level 1 (0 points) Q: Cannot install OSX 10.4 (no valid error message) - why? Hi everybody. I've been trying to install Mac OS X 10.4 on this G4 Quicksilver, but it seems that it's impossible. When I boot from the CD, it tells me "Mac OS X 10.4 cannot be installed on this computer" and promptly tells me to restart. It doesn't really give a valid error message, not even in the install logs.I've currently got Mac OS X 10.2.8 installed. Another issue may be the fact it's fitted with 1 GB RAM that runs on a different speed than the other 1 GB, but I doubt it. I really wonder why I can't seem to install the new system, since I seem to meet the requirements pretty easily.Thanks for your help.

NOTE #2: Routine Maintenance Or Troubleshooting Technique? Software Mentioned On This Site, And Where To Get It. About The Author I've created this site because so many Macintosh users have expressed frustration that they don't know how to perform routine maintenance on their Macintosh computer. Unfortunately, there isa huge amount of misinformation going around on the subject. Even Apple has contributed to the confusion with conflicting tech notes on their Web site. With the assistance of a few, mostly free utility programs, routine maintenance under OS X is very easy. The problem for most users is figuring out which utilities to use, and how and when to use them. This site will tell you that. Just a little routine maintenance can make a Macintosh that is acting old and slow run like it was new again! It can also banish vexing spinning beachball cursors, rid you of "out of memory" error messages, and keep your valuable data from being lost. The Philosophy behind this site: This is not (necessarily) a site for experts and power-users. What I recommend here is what I see as the easiest, quickest, surest, least intimidating, and least expensive way to accomplish valuable routine maintenance. If you enjoy inputting arcane commands at a UNIX prompt, if you know UNIX inside and out, if you have money burning a hole in your pocket for commercial software with lots of questionable features, or if you enjoy playing around with the features of powerful (and potentially dangerous) software that you don't really understand, this site isn't meant for you. I freely admit that there are other ways to do the routine maintenance suggested on this site, but the procedures that I recommend here are designed to be the best ones for the average Macintosh user. I've tried to make it easy as possible. I tell you what
