I have a Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger that was just working perfectly fine but after I upgraded and download Itunes it froze so I had to force shutdown. After Rebooting it is now stuck on the gray apple loading screen. I don't know exactly what's wrong with it please help! Im a student and trying to prevent high expences.

I tried: Command + S but it wouldn't let me type anything on the command prompt and it says:

Try working your way through the steps in this article:
:apple: Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup

I'm assuming that you didn't get OS X 10.4 Tiger discs with the MacBook and that's why you're purchasing them, if so, it won't work. Apple never sold a retail version of Tiger for Intel Macs. The retail copies of Tiger were PowerPC only. OS restore discs included with Intel Macs were generally machine specific. Finding the correct OS X Tiger disc could be a bit of a challenge.
