Anyone know if I can install Leopard on my old iMac?

Need to do some design work on my 4 yr (5?) old iMac PowerPC G4, and am currently running orig system (10.3.9) with my old design programs. Am fine investing in all the new programs, new system...but not sure it will actually all run fine on this computer. Anyone know?

Am I right that DIMM1 is the accessible slot and DIMM0 the non-user-accessible slot? How much RAM is it worth installing in a 1.25GHz machine?
No, I think it's the other way around.
I'm checking the service manual on the G4 iMac and it seems straightforward EXCEPT you will need to reapply the Thermal Paste :-/ I hate thermal paste!
You easy option would be to just put a 512 stick in your user accesable and run with a 768MB configuration.
Also, there may be some graphic features of 10.5 that are unusable due to the older graphics card.

This is because I have a copy of Protools I want to run on it and it has to be 10.6.1 or 10.6.2
Help I'm desperate!!

The 2010 MBPs came installed with either 10.6.3, or 10.6.4 later in their lifespan. Earlier versions of the OS may not have the correct drivers for the Mac's hardware.
Ultimately, you might be better off upgrading your copy of Pro Tools, or updating the Mac to Yosemite and running Logic Pro X.

Does anyone know where I can get Leopard from?

Apple don't sell it anymore and I can't upgrade to anything until I have it installed. Any help would be hugely appreciated

If you want to upgrade to Snow Leopard (which is available from the Apple store) you do not need Leopard.

Does anyone know how I can transfer songs from my old Dell Digital Jukebox to iTunes so I can sync them to my nano?

I have a new Windows 8.1 pc, and a new iPod nano 7th gen. How do I upload songs from my old Dell Digital Jukebox (yes, I know it's a dinosaur, but it still works great) to iTunes so I can sync those songs over to the nano?

Also, I should mention that I spoke to an Apple rep. He sent me a link to download a driver for the Jukebox once we found out that the pc did not recognize the device when I plugged it into the USB port. He told me that once I upload the driver, it will recognize it and I can just copy and paste the songs into a folder, then import them to iTunes. So far it has not worked and when I tried to call back, it looks like morning is the soonest I can speak to someone. So I'm trying on here.

What is your need to upgrade to Leopard? So you can sync to iPhone, iPad, etc?

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).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
MB022Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
The DVD should look like this
Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

Load the drivers and you should then be able to add it in Print Center.

          if maybe then delete disk item the_cache
end tell
if maybe then
          display dialog "I deleted the file :" & return & the_cache
else
          display dialog "The file :" & return & the_cache & return & "was unavailable !"
end if
--{code}
2) Than open Applescript Editor in your applications and paste it
3) Than select "Compile"

Okay so I asked someone from apple and they said that the software update icon is gone but its functions have been merged with the app store icon on the settings menu. Crisis averted haha!

I just joined CC and downloaded PS. Since I live in Belgium, it is installed in Dutch, but I would like to get it in English. Anyone knows how I can change this? Thanks!

HI all,
I just joined CC and downloaded PS and LR.
Since I live in Belgium, PS is installed in Dutch, but I would like to get it in English. Anyone knows how I can change this?
LR is immediately in English so that one is ok.
Thanks!

Look at this thread for step by step screenshots on how to do this.

I wanted to mark your answer helpful too but I didn't know that I could only put it for 2 answers. Sorry
That was good advice by G-N and s/he is correct about it. Unfortunately, ASC allows only 2 "helpful" and 1 "correct" marks per thread.
