I’m paraphrasing, because after I read the email preview, I somehow managed to delete the message, so I can’t reply directly (and I hope the correspondent will read this article). However, this morning I received a note from a reader who said that after attempting an install of Tiger in this manner, his computer refuses to boot and presents a gray screen. And several readers wrote to say that the method had worked for them as well. The iBook is currently running OS X 10.4.6 happily. This method worked flawlessly for me, and there have been no subsequent issues over the ensuing 16 months or so. (All the other devices using those connections have no problems)įor reasons out of the scope of this question, I can't send the computer back to service.In July, I posted a column, Installing OS X 10.4 Tiger on DVD-Challenged Macs Using FireWire Target Disk Mode, describing how I had installed OS X 10.4 Tiger on my CD-ROM equipped iBook G3 by mounting it as an external hard drive from my DVD drive-equipped Pismo PowerBook via FireWire Target Disk Mode and choosing the iBook’s hard drive as the destination disk in the installer. Tried to set the DNSs to the google ones.iCloud erase (find my mac didn't even detect the mac online, even when it does connect to the internet).all types of recovery mode boot: ⌘-R, opt-⌘-R, shift-opt-⌘-R.(I guess SSD only works with APFS?)Īnyway, I tried to create an installation USB stick, but this Mac won't allow external drive boot without admin privilege, and guess what, there is no admin at all! Only once I formatted the drive to HFS+ instead of APFS and didn't get that error message, but instead got a message about not being able to install the OS with that format. I have to boot in recovery mode, asks for the Wi-fi password, connects, spends several minutes with the revolving globe, which I guess that is downloading the OS installer.Īfter starting the OS install, I get the message Downloading installer information to the target volume failed. I'm not upgrading, the computer came with OS Catalina. I just got my MBP from service, it just had a software problem preventing it from powering up, they just did a SMC reset.Īs the computer was locked with the apple id, they sent it to me to unlock it and finish reinstalling OS Catalina.
