Can I run Mac Os 10.4 on my iMac G4 Dome? Where can I get install disks?

I have an iMac G4 that currently has Mac OS10.3.9 installed.  I am unable to connect to the internet using my Airport Extreme even though there is an Airport card installed..  Can I install Mac OS 10.4 and if so where can I get installation CD's/DVD's for PPC G4? 

Check in the Airport forums here:
AirPort
There may be a way to change security settings on the AEBS to accomodate the older OS.
As for OS versions, any iMac G4 can run OS 10.4.11, and those with a 1ghz or faster processor can run OS 10.5.8. However, demand has pushed prices of legitimate retail install packages for older Mac OS versions sky-high---often more than the computer is worth used---and has also attracted the attention of scam artists. There are NO downloadable versions of the Mac OS since 7.5. Any offered are scams and piracy.
You cannot use the gray system install/restore disks that came with another Mac model. A retail disk is black witha  big X and will NOT say "Up to Date" on it.
Another caution: Some older G4 iMacs shipped with CD drives, not DVDs, and most Tiger retail disks out there are DVDs. Make sure your computer can use a DVD system disk before your order.

  • HT1338 currently im running mac os x 10.5.8 is there anyway i can upgraded to to current version

    currently im running mac os x 10.5.8 is there anyway i can upgraded to to current version.
    i cant update my adobe because they dont support mac os x 10.5.8 version.

    To upgrade from OS X 10.5.8, you must first buy Snow Leopard by calling the phone number in the Apple Online Store: 800-MY-APPLE (in the US)
    Make sure your system meets Snow Leopard's requirements:
    Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" System Requirements
    To install Snow Leopard for the first time, you must have a Mac with:
    An Intel processor
    An internal or external DVD drive, or DVD or CD Sharing
    At least 1 GB of memory (RAM) (additional RAM is recommended)
    A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
    At least 5 GB of disk space available, or 7 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools
    After you install Snow Leopard you can decide if you want to upgrade OS X to the latest version, Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is available in the Mac App Store, which is available to you after upgrading to Snow Leopard.
    Make sure your system meets the requirements for Mountain Lion:
    Mac OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion" System Requirements
    To install Mountain Lion, you need one of these Macs:
    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)
                   Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (RAM)
    8 GB or more of available hard disk space
    If your system does not support Mountain Lion's requirements, you may be able to upgrade to Lion. To do that you must call Apple again to order a download code. Redeem the download code in the App Store to download Lion. Lion costs 99¢ more than Snow Leopard.
    Make sure your system meets the requirements for Lion:
    Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion" System Requirements
    Mac with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon CPU
                   Core Duo CPUs are not sufficient for Lion
    2GB of memory (RAM)
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    To determine which Mac you have, what kind of CPU it uses, and how much memory is installed:  > About this Mac
     The specified 2 GB minimum is barely adequate for either Lion or ML. They will run in 2 GB but you may not like its performance. 4 GB is a more realistic minimum.

  • Can i run mac OS in PC?

    hi, I have asus laptop K42J . can i run mac OS in it ?

    However, there are no restrictions as to what version of Windows you can install on a Mac, except for the virtualization software's capabilities.  See this tip:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2741
    If you want the best of both worlds in one machine, that's something you can accomplish easily on any Mac that is from 2006 to the present with an Intel CPU.

  • I keep getting message "This page requires a plugin that can only run in 32 bit mode" what does this mean and how can I fix it?

    I keep getting message "This page requires a plugin that can only run in 32 bit mode" what does this mean and how can I fix it? It seems to come up randomly, but I'm fairly ignorant.

    Previous versions of Firefox were only 32 bit, Firefox 4 for the Mac contains 32 and 64 bit versions. If you want to always start Firefox in 32 bit mode, open up Finder and go to the Applications folder. Control-click the Firefox app and click "Get Info", then select the "Open in 32-bit mode" option.

  • Running Mac OS X Leopard Server on iMac

    Hi,
    I am totally new in Apple World, Can I run Mac OS X Leopard Server on intel iMac?
    Simon Zarate

    This configuration works.
    (For some cases of upgrades, you might need to use a documented upgrade path, where you slide Mac OS X Server files onto the iMac. Details are around; look for the meta-package path and related. Here are the [10.4 upgrade details|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302960], and I expect some similar technical notes might well exist for 10.5, and details are probably in the Mac OS X Server 10.5 upgrade manual, too.)
    You may or may not need Mac OS X Server here.
    I tend to try to partition user activity from server activity; servers and services tend to be mostly- or always-on, where client boxes come and go, power up or down, lack UPS, etc. Servers get dedicated storage and communications, UPS devices, etc. More cautious upgrades, etc. Server also means you don't have ready access to Time Machine and such; that you have to deal with backups yourself.
    If you've never run a server, it's kind of the "deep end of the computing pool", too. There's a whole lot more to deal with, in terms of set-up, operations and other aspects of the platform. As nice as it is, the Mac OS X Server environment still requires management and upkeep.
    If it's an internal project (and not exposed to the open internet), you could just load [MAMP|http://mamp.info] onto Mac OS X and move on to the next issue. MAMP provides MySQL, Apache and php.
    I'd suggest that you get going with Mac OS X. Then decide if you need a server, and -- if you need always-on, look to something akin to Xserve box. (If you're unsure if you need a server, Occam's Razor says you're probably not ready for a server.)

    Adobe Illustrator CS6 won't open in Mac 10.10 without Java SE 6 Runtime. Where do I get it.
    I went to Jave and downloaded the latest version of Java 8 Update 31 for Mac, but it still won't open.

    dchasin,
    You may be able to get round the legacy JAVA requirement as follows:
    Create empty folders at “/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk” and “/System/Library/Java/Support/Deploy.bundle”, to make Illustrator use Jave SE 8 as it should.

  • Can I run Mac OS 8.1 on Mac OS 10.8?

    Not that expensive.  This is the machine I'd buy if I had the space, since it can boot into Mac OS 9:

    Most anything that runs in 8.1 can run in 9.2.2.   It is just stuff that is older than 8.1 that really gets to be different as 8.1 was when HFS+ was first introduced.
