[QUOTE="glendalf81, post: 1044029, member: 148123"] hi can anybody help me please, i have a problem with my G4 MDD i recently tried updating from 10.3.9 panther to 10.4 tiger and have had some issues, firstly when i tried to just upgrade the operating system i kept getting errors on disc 4 of the installation media it kept saying there where errors please try installing again and i had to keep going back to disc 2, after about 4 attempts i decided i would go for a fresh install which went without a hitch and installed first time without errors, after installing i used 'software update' to look for updates, it found several updates incl iTunes phone driver, DVD player and more importantly combination update 10.4.11 i chose to install all, all installed fine except 10.4.11 which reported that there was a problem and that it may have been tampered with after it had been signed by apple, i then restarted the machine after the restart i then went back to 'software update' and 10.4.11 was found again but did not report as being tampered with, i clicked install and the install began, half way through the install i got a big grey box stating "you need to restart your computer, hold down the power button for a few seconds or hit the reset button" i did this by holding down power button, i then powered back up the mac chimes as normal but will no longer boot, all i have is a pale blue screen, i have left it for over an hour but nothing happens. please can anybody tell me where the problem maybe? also is it possible to be a hardware problem, if so what? any help greatly appreciated thanks glen p.s. spec is G4 MDD single 1.25Ghz cpu, 1.25gb ram, 10gb IDE HDD for OS, 120gb IDE for storage, HP DVD/RW drive thanks again glen [/QUOTE]
