What is the latest version of Mac OSX that can be used on a PowerPC G5 iMac? And if it is 10.5, where to get it?

This iMac is running 10.4.11 and I would like to update it. The packaging on my Snow Leopard disc from a more recently purchased MacBook says it does not support PowerPC chipset machines. Can't find much info about 10.5 and it is not offered on the Mac.com download pages I have seen so far.
Is it worth the bother and where can I find OSX that is out-of-date but newer than what I amrunning?

10.5 is highest.
eBay, Amazon, etc.  Could be as high as $200.
Be sure to avoid torrent downloads.  Those sell illegal multi-copies, and add little surprises that report your system contents to the torrent -seller.

  • What is the latest version of Mac OS X supported on the eMac G4 PowerMac6,4

    I have an old eMac with a 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4 Processor and 512 MB of RAM. I am currently on Mac OS X 10.4.11 and would like to know what is the latest version that i can update to? This old computer is just to hold me over until i get a Mac Mini in a few weeks.
    Thanks,
    Eric
    P.S: I am tying this on the eMac right now.

    The max OS is Leopard 10.5. But, you'll have to buy the upgrade. You are at the latest/last version of Tiger 10.4.
    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store *but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753)*.

  • How do I install the newest version of itunes? It says that i need the latest version of mac osx but when i check for downloads i get nothing.

    My Mac will not let me download any new updates. I have Mac OS X Version 10.4.11, and I cannot download any new updates. This disables me to update Itunes which is the problem in the first place. How would I fix this?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    iTunes in Mac OS X Tiger is outdated. Open  > Software Update to install the latest iTunes version for Tiger.
    If you need iTunes 10.7 or a newer version, you have to upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. First, check that your Mac is supported > http://support.apple.com/kb/sp575 If it is, buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    After buying Snow Leopard, make a backup of your data, insert the DVD and upgrade to Snow Leopard. After upgrading, open  > Software Update, and install the latest Snow Leopard version. Finally, run Software Update again to install iTunes 11.0.4. If you want to install iTunes 10.7 instead, download it from the Apple website > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1576

  • What is the latest version of Mac OS X my system can support?

    I'm wondering if I should upgrade my system to 10.5 or not. has anyone tried it out before on their iBook G4 (Early 2004)? I am stuck with this mac until at least christmas, and I really gotta know. since the system will be discontinued in september, I don't want to spend any more money on upgrading the memory in it. thanks!

    Patddfan :
    I only have the 30 GB drive here!
    The first upgrade you need is a new Hard Disk Drive. You still have the original HDD in your computer. It is now 5 years old. The average life of these drives is 3 to 5 years. As drives age the thin coat of lubricant on the platters thicken and spin out to the edges of the platters causing the head to stick while reading and/or writing. In addition as your drive fills up and you have less and less contiguous disk capacity for directory growth and swap files, you HDD becomes more sluggish, and you are likely to end up with severe directory issues, and becomes a prime candidate for a crash. Make sure you maintain a good backup against this eventuality.
    A new, faster (5400 rpm instead of 4200 rpm) HDD, with greater capacity (possibly up to 320 GB) will tremendously improve the performance of your computer providing greater speed, more available disk capacity for swap files and directory growth, and greater areal density which allows the computer to read more data on each rotation of the platters increasing its efficiency and performance.
    Your best bet may still be Leopard:
    • A new more capacious HDD will significantly improve performance.
    • More RAM (max it out to 1.25 GB) Check out prices at ramseeker. I have also used RAM from Kahlon with good results.
    • Tiger installers are difficult to find and overpriced when you find them.
    • If you make the upgrades suggested your computer will be fine with Leopard.

  • What is the latest  version of OS X that I can run on iMac PPC G4?

    I'm having trouble using my old iMac PPC G4 flat panel due to the web browsers being so old that many web sites are not compatible. I can't upgrade FireFox or Safari to newer versions with my current OS X v10.3.9, which is probably the highest I can run on this iMac. Any advice?

    Leopard, if your old G4 meets the requirements:

  • What is the best cross server thread package that can be used with JSF?

    Hi all,
    I need to basically, do some clean up after timeout. I don't mean a session timeout. I just want to start from thread/process that does something every 30 seconds. Later, I would want to stop this thread.
    I don't know much about J2ee, but there must be some why to do this kind of thing. Please, give me some sort of information about it.
    Thanks,

    I don't if you guys have seen ITG Edge for iPhone 6 from Indiegogo, but I think they seem pretty legit in terms of covering the entire screen without making any change to the original design. I've seen the videos from their campaign.
    I think there's still room for the promotion of $30 for pre-order right now.

  • What is the latest version of adobe livecycle designer for mac?

    Hello Guys,
    I am new for Adobe LiveCycle Designer.
    Can some one guide me what is the latest version for Mac.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    HARI

    Hi HARI,
    Yes, that short video is demonstrating LC Designer (albeit an earlier version).
    The video is showing how to create a dynamic form, where you can add and remove items at runtime and have other dynamic features. Do develop this type of form you will need LC Designer ES2 (current version 9). As I said this runs on Windows, so you would need a virtual machine on the Mac to run Windows.
    LC Designer comes with Acrobat X Pro for Windows (Note it does NOT come with Acrobat X Pro for Mac). See http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/matrix.html.
    You also need to consider what your users will have to fill in the forms: Acrobat OR Reader. There are some features that will not be available in Reader unless you Reader enable the form. For example users with Reader will not be able to save their data in a form that has not been Reader enabled.
    More info on that here: http://assure.ly/gYyYc2
    You can also see some short sample forms here, which will give you an idea on some of the dynamic features: http://assure.ly/eEPuCM. All of these were created with LC Designer.
    Forms that are created in LC Designer are in accordance with the XFA specification. They are wrapped in a PDF wrapper that allows then to be opened in Acrobat/Reader. However they are not like a standard/native PDF and some standard Acrobat features, like commenting may not be available.
    You can also create forms directly in Acrobat, these are called AcroForms. They can be used to collect data, but generally don't have the same level of dynamic behaviour that you saw in the video.
    There are plenty of examples on the forums, so I would recommend that you explore these before you make any purchase. There can be a learning curve, depending on whether you have scripted before. 
    Hope that helps,
    Niall
