Possible to uninstall leopard

Hello,
is it possible to uninstall leopard and use it on another computer?
thnx
dave

"Uninstalling Leopard" is called "Re-installing Tiger."
And yes, you can install it on another computer. The license agreement allows for install on one machine at a time.

  • I GIVE UP!  Is it possible to uninstall Leopard and go back to Tiger?

    I am ready to give up for now. Is it possible to uninstall and go back to Tiger?

    If you were wise you would consider other options just besides getting rid of Leopard and throwing it away. First, you could wait until Apple releases OS 10.5.1, then install and update to it. This might help take care of some problems. You could dual boot OS 10.4.10 and 10.5 as long as you have the OS 10.4 full install Disk and the OS 10.5 full install disk. I personally will wait until at least Christmas time before I install Leopard. New OS's are always full of bugs. On the Microsoft side, I've read where Windows Vista is still having major problems and is taking a long time to become widely used. These problems take time to fix. When Windows XP came out nobody would upgrade to it because of all it's bugs, now Windows XP is considered the standard on PCs. Mac OS 10.4 was also full of bugs at first, but now we talk about how rock solid it is. Simply give Apple time to fix these problems.

  • Can I uninstall leopard and install tiger without problems?

    I'm considering purchasing a refurb iMac - I don't want an iMac mind you, but the Mac Pros are simply priced way over my head and I need a new computer!
    I can't get a straight answer from Apple about whether it will have Tiger or Leopard on it but because of Adobe's refusal to make CS2 compatible with Leopard, I must use Tiger.
    I've been told I can, if I must, uninstall Leopard and reinstall Tiger but I've also been told I'll end up with a host of problems doing that
    does anyone know if this will work or not?
    Apple is driving me crazy... no one will asnwer that question for me
    and why they don't have a mid-range Mac Pro is beyond me but what do I know?
    thank you

    Hi liliths!
    I look at the Apple Store refurbs list on a daily basis.
    The longer you wait, the higher the chances that you will receive an iMac that was produced following Oct 26, and was therefore released with Leopard as the MINIMUM version of OS X. Currently, I'd guess that there is VERY little (almost zero) chance of that - today - but more chance as each day passes.
    A refurb purchased now will have Tiger on DVD, and Tiger installed. The box will contain an upgrade disc that will install Leopard.
    As time goes on, Apple will start to receive Leopard Macs (Leopard on DVD, and installed, but no Tiger) produced after Oct 26 that get shipped back from the stores after buyers have returned them. Those returns to Apple, and Apple's refurbishment process, do not occur overnight. Those Leopard Macs will not be able to run Tiger, or if they will run it, it will not be supported by Apple (no phone support/no warranty until Leopard would be installed).
    Refer to this Apple Support article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25497
    There are some (lower-priced) Mac Pros sold with the slower processor option, but they are seldom seen on the refurb list, and sell quickly when do appear. One would certainly sell within minutes of being placed on the list this close to the holidays. (A good alternative at a close price w/o sales tax: eBay 250194178376)
    There are others besides Apple selling the older production Macs and advertising that they have Tiger on them, not Leopard. (From a third party, I very recently purchased a Mac Pro NIB with Tiger only.) Those units will be available less and less as each day goes by. I have purchased a Leopard family pack for possible future use.
    Don't wait too long to make up your mind, or the choice will no longer be available for you:) A mid-priced Mac Pro might be one of the last G5s, so you might want to look at eBay item 120191603098 (I have no affiliation on either eBay item, just a bystander).

    As to the question iMac vs Mac Pro or G5 - do you already have a display for a tower? A big factor in the decision.

  • Is it possible to uninstall OSX?

    I recently had to install Leopard on an external hard drive so I could boot my Mac and fix a problem with my internal hard drive - mission accomplished.
    Now my problem is that I really don't want to keep OSX on the external drive - but there is other data on the external drive that I do want to keep and of course I have nowhere else to store this data at the moment. Thus reformatting the drive is not an option.
    So, is it possible to uninstall OSX from my external drive or is reformatting the drive the only way to get rid of OSX?

    You can dump the /System directory, but there are a bunch of invisible directories on the root that will still be taking up a good deal of space on your machine. /var, /usr, the mach files etc. are just a few. There is no OS uninstaller that I know of, Apple doesn't have anything built into their install disc other than options for wiping or reformatting a hard drive.

    You don't uninstall an entire operating system. You reinstall the old one:

  • Uninstalling Leopard on my 2nd Hard Drive

    I own a Power PC dual G5 with 2 250GB hard drives installed. When I installed Leopard, somehow it got installed on my HD2 instead of HD1 where Tiger was primarily installed.
    The problem is HD2 was just being used as storage and none of my softwares or contact info (or itunes library) were acquired by Leopard since it wasn't installed over Tiger. I have access to my old OS system (rebooting and pressing the option key) but I now wanna uninstall Leopard and go back to my old setup.
    Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Luke

    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select HD1 and click on the arrow icon. After startup open the Startup Disk preference pane, select the system on HD1 then click on the Restart button.

  • Cann't start up from Tiger to uninstall Leopard

    I’m trying to uninstall Leopard and reinstall Tiger, However, I Can’t install Tiger. When I start up holding down the C key I get message I can’t install on this computer?! I installed it before and then installed @#%$^&&* Leopard over it. I’m using a Macbook Pro. I was going to do back up of computer and then just reinstall or install Tiger, but alas, I am not able, NO luck.

    Try starting up while holding the option key. This should let you see all bootable drives including the Tiger Disk. Then you can use Disk Utility from the Tiger install disk to repartition it and then do an erase and install with Tiger.

  • How do I uninstall Leopard?

    I want to uninstall Leopard from my iMac and revert back to Tiger, which it turns out works better for my needs. Can someone tell me a simple direct way to do this?
    Thank you.

    what Allan meant that you should restore your tiger system from a backup you should have made before installing leopard. from your response it's pretty clear that you don't have one.
    what you should do now is first of all make a complete backup of your current system to an external drive. you should always have a backup and it's doubly important before system installs. Use [Superduper|http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html] or [CCCloner|http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html] to make a backup.
    next you have two options.
    1. [Archive and install|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710?viewlocale=en_US] of tiger over leopard. downgarding like this is problematic and apple doesn't recommend it but it worked for some people. you won't be able to preserve your user and network settings so you'll have to go through initial computer setup after you reinstall. You'll be able to recover your current users and user directories using [these instructions|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2196?viewlocale=en_US].
    2. do an erase and install of tiger over leopard. this will wipe your current installation and give you a fresh copy of Tiger. Then migrate your data by hand from the backup. This is the preferred method. It's slow but safe and it's the best you can do not having made a backup of your tiger system before installing leopard.
