Note 10.9.1 is not the same as Mac OS 9.1. 13 years separate those operating systems. If you have questions regarding your MacBook Pro, post to the MacBook Pro forum. If they are questions regarding 10.9, post to:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/os_x_mavericks
which is what 10.9 is.

Yes, assuming you have enough disk space, you can install 10.5 Leopard, 10.6 Snow Leopard, and 10.7 Lion. If you want to upgrade to 10.7 Lion, I'd recommend a memory upgrade to at least 4GB.

Can i Install Mac OSX Leopard 10.5 /10.6 ?

Hello guys,
I've bought about 3 weeks ago an iPhone 3G. Since i have my iPhone i like to produce software for the iPhone with the developers kit from apple. But i have one problem. I have an Acer Aspire notebook with:
4GB memory
Intel Processor (2,2 GHZ)
Ati Videocard
Windows Vista Premium
Can i Install Mac OSX on this notebook ? Maybe with dual boot.
Best Regards,
Theodoor de Wit

A slightly different perspective from what others have already posted:
Even assuming there were no licensing/legal problems with this & you could somehow successfully hack the OS & SDK to install & run on your Acer, would you really want to try to use that as a development platform for iPhone apps? It would be like trying to build a sturdy house on an uncertain foundation: you would never know if or when the whole thing might collapse or how to tell if the fault was in what you built or not.
If you want to develop for the iPhone, invest in a Mac. If you are any good at it, judging from the success stories you could quickly & easily make back the cost of that investment & much more. Even if you don't, you will have a very well made & supported computer running what is arguably the most stable & user-friendly OS on the planet.

Can i install mac osx back again after installing windows 7 on my mac book a1181?

i have apple mac book a1181 white, but i had problem logging on as it was secured by a password, and i allready lost my recovery dvd, so i installed windows 7 on my mac book a1181 by deleting its partition from GTP to NTFS but i experienced problems after installing windows 7 as sound was not comming as i could not find sound drivers for macintosh, so now i plan again to restore my apple macbook a1181 back by reinstalling mac osx 10.5.8, how can i again install mac osx on my notebook and is it possible to re-install mac on my notebook? please give me some help.

Insert your OS X install disc and restart holding the C key, hold it down until you see the Apple logo and spinning gear. Choose your language and at the next screen from the top menu bar select Utilities-Disk Utility. Select your internal hard drive, click on the Partition tab and select 1 partition. Click on the Options button and select GUID partition scheme. Click OK. Choose to format the drive as Mac OS Extended Journaled. When Disk Utility is done and your drive is properly partitioned and formatted quit DU and go back to the installer screen and reinstall OS X. When you're up and running run software update a couple times to get everything up to date as far as you can with 10.5.8. Then consider upgrading to OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard for $19.99 here http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

If I buy a new pc intel i7 CPU... can i install Mac OSX Lion?

can buy a new pc intel box + Mac OS from Apple store and I can just:
- put the DVD mac osx into the DVD and
- boot up the machine and start up with DVD and it will install Mac OSX ?
Thanks

No for three reasons:
1) Mac OSX can only be installed on an Apple computer as per the licensing agreement.
2) There are no DVDs available for OS X Lion.
3) The boot sequence from the USB stick will not allow you to install on a PC, not even to format the drive to OS X Journaled.
Just buy a Mac if you want to use one. The user experience is based around the symbiosis of software and hardware (which is something you should surely understand as an app developer. If you don't, you won't get far at all).
Trust me, you won't regret spending a little more on a quality product that will last and retain its value.

Can't install Mac OSX Lion because it show as "Installed" in the Appstore

Hello,
Actually, I want to buy Max OSX Lion, but I can't do it because it is displayed as "installed" in the Appstore. My laptop has OSX version 10.6.8 installed. Does someone has the same problem as me ? Did you manage to fix it ?

Hello, and welcome to Apple Support Communities!
Go to your Applications folder and look for Install Mac OS X Lion.
Otherwise, option-click the purchased tab and while still holidng option, click the button which should now be "Download."

Can i install mac osx v10.2 on my ibookg4?

My i book at present runs of v10.3.9, and i would like to install v10.2 as this is the operating system that the driver for my new scanner needs. . . .
i have all the original set up discs but when i try to install it seems to restart the computer and start as if nothing has changed
i know changing the operating system sounds extreme for the sake of a scanner but its a really old computer so all i want to use it for is scanning and saving high res images on photos!
. . . . is v10.2 to old a system for an i book g4 / or is the problem that i already have a newer operating system installed?

thank you for your reply. . . . .
my ibook spec's are as follows
Machine Model: iBook G4
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.1)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.07 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 512 MB
Bus Speed: 133 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.8.5f0
The scanner i have is a Mustek ScanExpress A3 USB (connection) 1200 Pro, the system requirements are .mac OSX / available USB port/ cd-rom drive / colour monitor / 32mb of ram / 32mb available hard disk space for software installation. As far as the driver goes i have spoken to the support team at Mustek and they said that the only drivers for mac they have at present can be found here -
http://www.mustek.de/eng_/html/treiber/scanner/sea3usb1200pro.htm
the problem is that the drivers are only available for the Op systems that are a whole number i.e.. v10.2/ v10.3/ v10.4 / v10.5 , and with me having v10.3.9 installed at on my ibook i can't seem to get hold of a working driver.
as i say all i use the ibook for is storing image files and have everything on the comp backed up on CD's
i brought a copy of v10.2 purely because it was the cheapest operating system i could find

Can't install Mac OSX via Internet recovery onto my new SSD

I just installed an SSD in my Macbook Pro 2012 (non Retina), but when i try to reinstall Mac OSX 10.7 via Internet recovery it doesn't recognize the new Drive (it does appear in disk utility when connected to another mac externally.) Please Help.

reinstall Mac OSX 10.7 via Internet recovery
The only folks who can get a free copy of Mac OS X 10.7 via Internet recovey are those who bought it previously. If you removed your old drive, and its Recovery_HD with your Apple_ID in it, how do you expect Apple to know who is asking for this download?
There are more reliable ways to do what you want to do.
Is you old drive still operable?
Do you have an external enclosure or another drive over 20GB?
Do you have another Mac?
Do you have a spare USB stick?

Can i install mac osx 10.5.4 on my ibookg4

I'm trying to install a retail version of Leopard that i purchased
and i get a Kernel Panic Screen every time the install is reaching about 45%, and sometimes i even get it during the DVD Check before the installation starts.
the only time i finally witnessed the process reach more than 90% i got an error log and that the installation was not successful.
knowing that prior to this the ibook had Tiger installed and running smooth which is bad since i selected erase and install option and i don't have the installation discs that came with the machine.
and my questions are:
1- can i install it from a portable dvd drive?
2- can i install it through my home network knowing that i don't have Mac Server?
3- it's really not worth it to try fixing this old machine since i know i will be paying a minimum of 500$ is there any hope for this to work somehow or should i abandon hope and look for a new machine?
here is my iBook G4's Configs:
Processor Name: PowerPc G4 (3.3)
Processor Speed: 1 GHz
# of CPUs: 1
Memory: 1.12 GB
Bus Speed: 133 MHz
Boot ROM Ver: 4.7.7f0
Hard drive space: 55.9 GB
Graphics Info: ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 with 32 MB VRAM Total
both "Hardware" and "Power On" test passed and i did verify both hard drive and it's permissions and they both passed.
looking forward to read a solution
thank you in advance

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
can i install it from a portable dvd drive?
By a portable DVD drive do you mean an external firewire DVD drive, or something else?
Why would you consider either an external drive or a network? Does that mean that the internal optical drive does not work?
the ibook had Tiger installed and running smooth which is bad since i selected erase and install option and i don't have the installation discs that came with the machine.
You really need to have possession of install disks for the OS you are running.
In terms of the kernel panics, it is difficult to know exactly where the issue lies without being able to boot the computer. little shoulders has suggested checking the RAM, and that would be a place to start. You might also want to remove the Airport Extreme card, as that is often a cause of KPs. Finally, I would try the install disk in another computer to be sure that the disk itself is not in some way implicated. Please make sure that the installer you are using is indeed a Full Retail Version, as computer specific installers not specific to you computer can be troublesome.

Bought new Hitachi HD can't install Mac osx there is no destination drive and i already formatted to mac os extended journaled

So i tried upgrading my hard drive to a new hitachi HD and when i tried using the mac osx dvd it doesn't find the hard drive in the destination page. i formatted it to mac os extended journaled with 1 partition and nothing i'm stuck.... here is a picture of the disk utility page i took a screenshot of.... please help

"i tried upgrading my hard drive to a new hitachi HD"
Your havnt said what your trying to do so your posts are very confusing
with this new drive do you want to:
install the operating system on the new drive
format the drive to use it as storage
create a standby bootable drive
something else entirely
Your screen shots show you have an internel drive and three other drives
The drive you have erased is an external USB connected drive - youv erased and partitioned the drive and it shows it is working OK
what do you want to do now?
if the idea is to replace your original systen drive with this new drive youv bought the wrong kind of drive it should have been an internal drive
but you need to explain wahat as the drive shows it functioning correctly

Can I install Mac OSX the latest version on a PC

I have seen video files of Mac OS X booting on a normal PC, so my question is that with the appearance of the new Intel Macs are we going to be able to run Mac OS X on PCs?
And is it this going to be allowed by APPLE?
Windows XP Pro

Short answer:
Probably not.
Long answer:
What you're seeing is people who've been able to hack Mac OS X for Intel *DEVELOPER PREVIEW* to run on commodity PC hardware. That Developer's Preview was based on a significantly different hardware platform that what's actually shipping on the Intel iMac and MacBook Pro.
Specifically, the difference is that the Developer's Preview was designed for a BIOS based mother board, while the shipping version is looking for Intel's Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI). At a bare minimum, you would need an EFI based MoBo, and those aren't shipping on your average Dell or HP right now.
Additionally, the shipping version of Mac OS X for Intel is probably significantly different than the Developer's Preview. Exactly what Apple may have done to prevent Mac OS X from booting on anything not made by them is unclear, but you can bet that they've done something and that it won't be easy to get around. It may be done it may not be, but it's not likely to run well or be easy to for any "Joe User" to do for himself.
It's also worth pointing out that installing Mac OS X for Intel on anything other than a system made by Apple is a violation of your license agreement with Apple and can land you in a lot of hot water.

Can't install mac OSX 10.3 on powerbook g4 M9421LLA

I have a powerbook g4 M9421LL/A (April, 2004) which came with leopard os x 10.5 on it, The hd went bad and I replaced the hd with a new one and tried to install the retail version of Panther OSx 10.3, the one it was supposed to have had on it originally. I get the prohibited sign (circle with line) when I try to boot from the install disk and can't get into disk utility, verbose or single user mode. When I press the option key the install disk is the only choice, and I get the apple logo and then the prohibited sign when I choose it to boot from. Can anyone tell me what's wrong? When the install disk is not inserted and I boot I get the face and question mark. I can access Open Firmware only. I have tried resetting PMU with no result.

Yes, you can. Use a retail DVD.

Hello !, can i install Mac OSX Lion to my PC (not mac) i have got Intel Core2 Quad processor and Gigabyte P35-DS3 and 3GB RAM and ATI Radeon HD4850 Sapphire graphics Card ?

Hello Guys
i want to install MacOSX to my pc
i heard something about that (like OSX86 project ?)
i have got Intel Core2 Quad processor and Gigabyte P35-DS3 and 3GB RAM and ATI Radeon HD4850 Sapphire graphics Card ?
please answer .......

Teknus... Here's the issue. For starters, I understand software licensing issues may not be interpreted the same in all countries (although they are still applicable). I also understand that everyone is not familiar with what software licensing is. It is technically possible to install OS X on a PC (as you have seen on your friends computer). However, Apple has designed OS X to only work on Macs. In order to get OS X to work on a PC, it must be modified ("hacked"). As these forums are owned by Apple, we are not permitted to provide you with instructions on how to hack their OS.
Having said that, I have used OS X on PCs. It is not a pleasant experience at all. The experience is actually poor enough on a PC that I would not even use it... opting for Windows or Linux instead. You're simply sacrificing too much of the true OS X experience when you try to run it on standard PC hardware. If you want to try a different operating system, give Linux a try. There are many free versions out there and they will run on just about any PC. The forums are also very helpful. Linux is much more similar to OS X than Windows.
I understand that Macs are expensive and that you would like to use OS X on a PC. The simple fact is that using it on a PC would not be the same as using it on a Mac.
