Does your iBook have a DvD drive? Some iBooks of that model don't have one. To test try playing a DvD Movie.

 

[Leolizm]

there are all the requirements that they ask for...

There are all the software and hardware requirements that are needed but it still doesn't work...



besides, i am trying to install leopard from the hard disk itself.


Plz help me out.

What does it say when you try to install it? Does it say you don't have the software requirements or what? 😕

Maybe you need to boot from the DVD. By holding down C at bootup

I know that the thread is not about this...
In theory, you can run Leopard on a G4 iBook, but why would you want to do that? Tiger runs so much better on them. Unless you require Leopard for a particular application, I wouldn't pass Tiger.

shouldn't have to do that if the current OS on the computer is working...

There's your problem. Leopard doesn't like to be installed from the hard disk. Unless it's on it own specially formatted partition.

 

[mrsir2009]

Yeah you'll need to install off a DVD...

 

[Leolizm]

So how can i burn it to dvd

I have only 4.7 gb disk and the file is of 7.51 GB so is their a proper way to burn it or should i compress it
😕😕😕

No, I meant a retail DVD.

go buy the retail dvd and you will see it will install without any problems but it will slow your ibook right down ,it does my 1.42 ghz mini with 1gb ram slows right down , feels more like my mini would have only a 450mhz G4 and 256mb ram when running leopard , i bought the disc out of curiosity because my mini is my operating system test platform so i needed leopard on it and because everyone was praising the leopard like it was one of the 7 wonders of the world , but i definitely keep tiger on the Mac's i have to do any kind of work on , as tiger is still the best operating system apple has developed in recent years

trying to install leopard from the hard disk...so where did the Leopard come from? It sounds like it was an illegal torrent download.

That's my guess. The OP should ask a fellow Mac friend or look on eBay for Leopard.

The OP's Mac is slightly below the system requirements for Leopard, so presumably there has to be some hacking involved (hence the mention of Leopard assist). Possibly that is the source of the problems.
