CAN I INSTALL FAMILY OS10.5 ON OLD G-5?

Excuse the repeat but the answers from readers were (2) "no you can't do that". Yet I see used versions of Leopard on the web. So what's going on? will it work on my G-5 or not? I have to feel entitled, we are very good Apple customers.

The family license disc looks identical to the retail except for the fine print.
The retail Leopard disc looks like
Additional discs known as Up to Date (with Update fine print)/dropin discs also look similar, and those can only be applied to October 1-October 26th, 2007 Macs with Tiger already installed on them.
Discs which look different that have a Mac model can not be used on the G5 to install Leopard, and must be used on the Mac model they shipped with. Some of those are on the web because people either attempt to sell their Mac separately from those discs, or they are discs which are bad that have been replaced by Apple.
The individual and family license packs have very specific licenses, and are enforced simply by the license agreement itself and not any technological barriers.

  • Can I install elements 13 over an old version

    Can I install elements 13 over an old version

    Yes, different Elements versions are independent programs. You can keep them in your computer; it's even recommended until you master the new version and you have checked that some features have not been removed. It's also recommended if you are using the organizer until you are sure your catalogs have been correctly converted.

  • Can I install Snow Leopard on an old mac mini?

    Hi, my parents have an old mac mini and they have bought a new camera to use for Skype, but it won't work on their current OS (Panther or Tiger I think).
    So, can I install a newer operating system on the old mac?
    Thanks

    how about Leopard 10.5?
    10.5.8 is fine. Obtaining it may be more difficult.
    You'll need a Leopard retail install disk.

    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). {Note - this is now very unlikely, but no harm in asking}.
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on Amazon MP, 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 , MC094Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

  • Can't install add-ons or remove old ones

    Hello,
    I've done a fair few re-installs on my OSX and I'm now running 10.9.5 with Firefox 33, however every time I reinstalled, I copied over my profiles folder to have the saved passwords, history and add-ons already setup.
    Recently something strange has been going on, I can't install an add-on, it installs but even after a restart it says it will be isntalled after restart.
    I can't delete one, same thing as above, so I had to delete majority of them manually.
    Every time I load firefox, it checks for add on compatability, which it didn't do before.
    Is this some sort of a permissions issue or? I'd do a fresh install however I need to retrieve my passwords and browsing history first, and only way I know how to do that is with a plugin.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
    Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.json, extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
    New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files":
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
    If you see disabled or not compatible extensions in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end of the Search bar to check if there is a compatibility update available.
    If this hasn't helped then also delete possible addons.json and addons.sqlite files.
    You can reset all prefs to have a fresh start and delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

  • How can I install Adobe PSE9 from my old computer to my new computer that doesn't have a disc drive?

    Recently purchased a new PC with Windows 8 and doesn't have a disc drive. How do I install my Adobe PSE9 from my old computer to my new computer?
    Thanks!

    You do not install it from the older machine to the newer one.  You just install it on the newer one, and if you prefer to you can deactivate it on the older one, though you are not required to since you are allowed to have the software activated on two machines.
    You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.

  • How many computers can I install Final Cut Studio 2 on?

    Here's my dilemma. I'm a poor soon-to-be college grad with an old 2004 PowerBook G4. I'm starting to do video projects this summer and want to get a new computer and Final Cut Studio 2. The problem is, I don't have money for both. However, my current computer DOES meet the requirements (1GB RAM, 1.5Ghz engine, and 17" monitor) to install the apps and run them. So, ideally, I would buy Final Cut Studio 2 and install it on this old computer until I saved up enough money to get myself a Mac Book Pro in a few months. Then, I would install FCS 2 on my new computer. Is this possible? Can I install FCS 2 on my old G4 and then months later when I get a new computer, on my new computer? Or at least transfer the apps to my new computer?
    Thanks ahead of time! I haven't gone computer shopping in a while so I don't remember how this all works!
    Message was edited by: Seef

    Install it on the PowerBook, and when you get the MacBook Pro, download and use this tool on the PowerBook prior to installing it on the MacBook Pro. The license for Final Cut Studio 2 permits it to be installed on a desktop and portable but not two portables.
    If you're in the middle of a project when you get the MacBook Pro, complete it before changing the configuration.

  • I am 72. Old computer died. New one has Windows 7 Prof. Can I install Photoshop CS2?

    I've been using Photoshop since version 4. Worked up to CS2, but not the suite. My old computer with XP died and the new one has Windows 7. Can I install it on the new one? I'm terrified to try because I am NOT a computer expert. Can I get help on this? Is CS3 (alone, not the suite) compatible with Windows 7? I only use Photoshop and InDesign and don't need all the extras. I went to a friend's house and tried Photoshop in her CS3 Suite. I can't figure out how to even cut things out using paths. Is CS 3 Photoshop (not suite) comparible to CS2?  Please help me.

    do you own photoshop cs2 and indesign cs2 or a suite containing both?
    if yes, you can go here: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l
    and download the two needed programs (note the serial numbers on the download page) and download and then install the two programs using the serial numbers from the download page. 
    you can probably just install on your win 7 computer without using compatibility mode.

  • Can I install my old OSX on a different computer after upgrading?

    I have a couple questions:
    1) I currently have Snow Leopard on my one computer and on another computer I just have Leopard. I am purchasing Mountain Lion from the App Store today and am going to install it onto my computer with Snow Leopard. Can I then take my old Snow Leopard disk and instal it onto my other computer?
    2) When installing Mountain Lion onto my computer, will everything (Files, applications, games, etc) remain? Or does it wipe everything out?
    3) I ultimately want Mountain Lion on both of my computers, does that mean I need to buy two copy's? Or can I down the same copy of Mountain Lion from the App Store on both computer and install?
    Thank you in advance, any help would be greatly appreciated!

    1) If SL was the original OS installed on that computer, you can't install it on a different computer. The DVDs are tied to the original computer.
    Technically, if they are tied to anything it would be the computer model, not the physical computer itself. That means you could use it to install OS X on any computer with which those discs are compatible as long as you did not install on more than one computer at a time. I know this is a tad nit-picky, but that's the way it happens to be. No intended offense. Just hoping to be helpful.
