Try to get Imac G4 back to life

[nf24eg]

hi,
I try to get Imac G4 to life again, I upgraded it to 1Ghz Ram, Hdd 500GB, Airport for Wireless. But I face some problems:
1- I have 2 Original DVDs 10.4 which comes with the MAC but when I try to use it to boot and install the OSX I always get this message which end by (panic we are hanging here)
2- when I try to connect by a wire to the internet, it not working and even no blinking at all from the Mac port or even the router, but it working well with the airport (Wireless).
3- I try to make a recover partition for the OSX but can't find out how to do it, as in the pc I use True image and to recover just press F11.

Any help for this old mac

Those symptoms make me think the original DVDs aren't for that specific model iMac. Maybe you'll need to get the correct version. Read the stickie info above about DVD OS X versions (Which OS Disk).

Don't forget to tell us which exact Model Mac you have.

Re: #3 . . . To create a recovery partition, you need an Apple computer with OS X 10.7 (minimum).

sorry to hear that since the max OSX i can install on this machine is 10.4.11

Sorry you have spent far to much on a lampshade!

@harryb2448, may you kindly clarify in steps what do you means ?

A G4 is simply too old and do not go on the 'net using Tiger OS X.4. Unsecure.

 

[nf24eg]

you mean 10.4.11 is insecure to be connected to the internet ?

Exactly (at least to a degree). At the moment…only OS 10.7 and above still receive security updates from Apple.
