Where can I get a copy of OS X 10.4 Tiger? I have misplaced my OS DVD and need to reload the OS.
Apple G3 Silver Surfer.
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.0.x)
Make certain it's the black Retail version...

Restore Tiger 10.4 & Leopard 10.5 DVDs are available from Apple by calling 1(800) 275-2273. Have your serial number ready. Have your credit card ready too. There may be a small fee.

Thanks RC. 🙂
I don't know. Did Tiger ever come with any G3 model? I thought by the time Tiger was released the G3 line was history? In which case the OP is looking for a retail version DVD.
I think similar reasoning would apply if this is for a MacPro though I don't know if any of those came with OSX 10.0 which the OP's profile says it is running. Anyway, this is a case where the best answer really relies upon being provided correct system information. 😉
My mistake. It is the G4 Silver Surfer. I downgraded mac by mistake, it is newer than I though.
I called the number recommended by RCCharles with not much luck, they referred my to a dealer after being bounced around for 15-20 minutes.
I think in this case I am going to have to resort to purchasing a retail box to replace my misplaced install CDs.
I had to purchase OS X Panther for my Pismo - came with OS 9 ("Classic" System is 9.2.2). My fingers are X-ed that I never need a Tiger set of disks as my AACT guy installed it after the resurrection process 4 years ago. I should probably ask him 'proactively'. 😕
I am running 10.4.11 on my iMac g3 600. Tiger requires a firewire port on your g3. Can do a hack to get around firewire requirement.
It's been a year and a half since someone reported getting a ppc dvd out of apple. I remember someone reporting that they got a Tiger dvd out of apple instead of the restore cds.

Another example of a situation avoided if there had been a clone backup made before doing something to a computer. 😟
Pismo = Firewire. I have the Panther disks and 10.3.x also is installed on a FW drive as backup OS. 🙂
Where can I get 10.4? I misplaced my OS DVD.
