Mac Forum / General / Portable Macs / September 2008problem installing Leopard on Powerbook G4
I tried to install Leopard on my Powerbook G4, and now it won't load at all. I get the Apple screen, and then nothing but blue. Help! in article 804c1284-71ed-4671-b0e8-bb9a3baabf87@y38g2000hsy.googlegroups.com, SG at sgulland@gmail.com wrote on 8/09/08 4:20 AM: > I tried to install Leopard on my Powerbook G4, and now it won't load > at all. I get the Apple screen, and then nothing but blue. Help! I presume you are using a retail copy of Leopard otherwise it will not work - install disks are machine specific. Next minimum requirements are 512RAM and 867Mhz processor but there are ways around that - goolge is your friend Nigel In article <804c1284-71ed-4671-b0e8-bb9a3baabf87@y38g2000hsy.googlegroups.com>, > I tried to install Leopard on my Powerbook G4, and now it won't load > at all. I get the Apple screen, and then nothing but blue. Help! How far did you get through your "try?" Did the installer appear to complete successfully or did anything "interesting" happen along the way. Where you get the Leopard disc? What are the specs on your PowerBook?  Signature"Harry?" Ron's voice was a mere whisper.

No need to clutter up this reply with details, right?

I was unable to get Leopard to install until I took out the 3rd party memory and put in the original from Apple. Also, G4 powerbooks are known to have memory connector problems. If you've still got it under Applecare, you should have it looked at. _ Booker C. Bense |
