Can an iBook G4 A1054 800MHz run Leopard 10.5?

Can an iBook G4 Model: A1054 800MHz laptop run and install Leopard 10.5?
I have been trying to install 10.5 on my ibook but once I select my language it keeps saying Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer.
If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated,
Thank you inadvance!

Is your iBook G4 1.33ghz running Leopard

I just wanted to find out if many people have tried installing Leopard on an iBook G4 Mid 2005. My system runs at 1.33ghz and it has 1.5gb of ram. Before I buy a copy of Leopard for this computer, I'd like to know how other people have been doing. How's the overall performance on a G4? Do you find that it runs a lot slower than leopard? Do spaces lag or do they go back and forth as quickly as they do on an intel computer? If anybody has tried this on the same model of iBook, could you let me know what you think of it.
Thanks

I have ran Leopard (10.5.1) on an iBook G4 (1.33Ghz) with not a single issue. Aside from it being a bit slow in the finder compared to Tiger, it kept pretty good pace and the full Core Image effects worked like a charm with the 32MB Ati Radeon 9550.
Maxing out the memory helps but don't expect the "zippiness" of Tiger if you've grown used to it. Overall, Leopard does run on an iBook G4 but not very quickly. I feel most of the PPC code is going south as Apple completes the transition to Intel processors.
(My old iBook specs)
1.33Ghz G4
100GB HDD
1.5GB DDR SDRAM
32MB Ati Radeon 9550
Leopard 10.5.1 (however reverted to 10.4.11 due to some application issues at the time...)

What OS X (highest) can the Ibook G4 1.2ghz run?

Title says it all

Original OS
Mac OS X 10.3 (7B85)
Maximum OS
Mac OS X 10.4.11 (800 MHz) Mac OS X 10.5.8 (933 MHz+)

Running Leopard On Ibook G4 14"

Hi all
I have a issue with running Leopard on my Ibook, it is a 1.42 GHZ and 1500 Mg of ram.
The problem that I am encountering is that the system is processing at full capacity 75-100% and I am not running anything in the background, why???
I have a G5 with dual processors and running Leopard, looking at the activity monitor on both machines, I can clearly see that there are several components running in the background on the Ibook and nothing on the G5, on the G5 when at idle it is using from 1- 10% CPU use, and when the Ibook is at idle it is all over the place, from 10- 100% but mostly in the high numbers.
Any answers I would appreciate.
PS" this is with a new installation on the Ibook, with Tiger I had none of these issues
Thanks
Sigi

Hi. What are the processes using that amount of CPU? It could be that Finder is still indexing. Post back with a list of the 'runaway' processes.
Good luck,
Adrian

I am still using my Apple G4 1.25 Ghz MDD running Leopard 10.5.8 with iTunes 10.6.3 installed. Can I use an Phone 4s with iOS 5 with this set up? I have read the iPhone iOS 5 user guide and it appears that I can but is anybody actually doing it ?

Hello to all my readers.I am still using my Apple G4 1.25 Ghz MDD running Leopard 10.5.8 with iTunes 10.6.3 installed. Can I use an Phone 4s with iOS 5 with this set up? I have read the iPhone iOS 5 user guide and it appears that I can but is anybody actually doing it ? My current phone is a £10 Nokia and I've neither wish nor cash to spend more than a grand upgrading to an intel based machine (at the moment) ! Regards to you all.

If you can find an iPhone running iOS5 and those are the specs for iOS5, there is no reason it should not work.
If you want a more current version of iOS or a more current device, a Windows computer is always an option at significantly less cost.
Granted, there is no requirement to have a computer to use an iPhone.

How do I get my macmini running Mountain Lion to see my Canon USB printer connected to my Airport Extreme? I have a macbook pro running leopard and that works fine. The versions of airport utility are different and I can't even see the printer from new 1

I am having trouble seeing my usb printer from my second gen airport extreme using the newest version of airport utility under Mountain Lion. UGH! And while I can see and network to my Canon IP5000 from my macbook pro running leopard, I can't from my new macmini running Mountain Lion. Any help would be appreciated in configuring my macmini so it can see the Canon IP5000 on the airport extreme. Don't want to "share" the printer from the laptop because that would be a cludge. Thanks ahead

I solved this one based on another post. Turned out I needed the snow leopard IP5000 driver. I had just copied over the leopard driver (I had saved my .dmg file) and installed that but it didn't work. So I downloaded the latest driver which turned out to be for snow leopard and I am guessing since it is 64bit that is why it worked and the leopard driver didn't. Anyway, I also had to hook the printer up via usb to the mac mini to get it to work locally before the O/S would see it over Bonjour via the airport extreme.

Does anyone know what is the best version of word I can have on my older mac mini 10.5.8 PPC? I am running Leopard. Does anyone have it or know where I can get it please?

I agree with Grant. But to answer your question, that would be Word 2008. A quick search turns it up on sale at Amazon. You'll need to find it somewhere other than Microsoft itself, since MS stopped selling it when they released Word 2011.

HT200027 I am still running Leopard Mac OS X 10.5.8. How can I get Lion Mac OS X 10.6, so I can update to Mountain Lion?

I am still running Leopard Mac OS X 10.5.8. How can I get Lion Mac OS X 10.6, so I can update to Mountain Lion?

Upgrading to Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
If you need to purchase Snow Leopard you can still purchase a copy from Apple's online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.] Ask for a Sales Representative.
Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
Snow Leopard from eBay
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
If you need to purchase Lion call 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. Ask for a Sales Representative. They will check your Apple ID, and email you a code and instructions. The cost is $29.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download.
Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS.

Can I run Leopard OS 10.5 on my PowerBook G4

I have an older PowerBook G4. Can I run Leopard OS 10.5 on this machine? Right now it is running 10.4.11. I purchased a new Verizon iPhone but that needs iTunes version 10.2.1 and that will not run on anything less than Leopard 10.5. I own a retail version of Leopard so that is not a problem. I just want to know if there's enough power to not have it bog down. It has 1.33GHz PowerPC G4 processor with 1.25 GB of RAM. Thanks.

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)*.
When you upgrade the OS, do it via Archive & Install. See About the Archive and Install feature http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710
Be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings. Also, repair permissions before and after the install.

How can I install iWeb 06 on a new computer running Leopard ?

My site is built with iWeb 06.
I have a fairly new 24" iMac running Leopard with iWeb 08 pre-installed.
I don't want to risk rebuilding my entire site right now.
Is there any way I can install just iWeb 06 so I continue editing my site with a program I'm familiar with?

Hi Bussada,
No, you dont have to uninstall Creative cloud from the other machine. You can use your Adobe ID to download and install the software on the other machine. Please ensure that you don't use both machine at the same time.
Download creative cloud desktop app from this link.

Can I upgrade a 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo iMac running Leopard OS X 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard 10.6.3?

Can I upgrade a 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo iMac running Leopard OS X 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard 10.6.3?

Yes this machine will run 10.6 with no problem
Sadly it will not be able to run 10.7 in the future though.

I am running leopard, can i upgrade to mountain lion?

I am running leopard, can I upgrade to mountain lion?

Going by your profile: iMac (20-inch Early 2008), Mac OS X (10.5.8) your Mac does qualify for Mountain Lion. See Step 1 here > Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.
But you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard first before upgrading to Mountain Lion. It's not necessary to upgrade to Lion first.
Snow Leopard is no longer available from the Apple online store. You can purchase Snow Leopard by calling the Apple Store at 1-800-MY-APPLE.

I keep getting a "start up disc is full" message on my iMac (running leopard)- its a new mac so can't be full?

I keep getting a "start up disc is full" message on my iMac (OSX 10.7.3 running leopard). It can't be full the mac is only a few months old - please help - I am not a computer whizz so treat me gently!!

Do you have any external hard drives attached that your system might be booting from? Did you create multiple partitions on your hard drive, one of which may be full? These are a couple of possibilities, and there may be others.
I suggest powering on your system then immediately hold down the option key. Your system should display the system picker screen showing all bootable volumes. Do you see just one boot volume show up?
I also suggest launching the Activity Monitor application that can be found in the Applications/Utilities folder. Click on the 'Disk Usage' option to see how much drive space is available as shown below. You may also want to use the Disk Utility application to verify the hard drive and file permissions. Both of these are options available within the application.
