Can I run Thunderbird on a PowerPC Mac running 10.5.8?

I have a PowerPC Mac running 10.5.8. I've used Eudora for over a decade, but it's very antique, and apparently RoadRunner just did some security updates, so now I can receive but not send.
Thunderbird's System Requirement page says it should run on my computer, but when I download it I get "You cannot use this version of the application Thunderbird with this version of Mac OS X."
Am I doing something wrong, or is the system requirement page incorrect?

The versions start at 10.6 by my reading http://www.verizon.com/Support/Residential/internet/highspeed/networking/troubleshooting/portforwarding/123866.htm#
Perhaps tenfourbird http://en.sourceforge.jp/projects/tenfourbird/
Tenfourbird is unofficial build of Mozilla Thunderbird for PowerPC based Mac OS X.

  • Can I install Photoshop CC on a Mac running 10.5.8

    I can't get a straight answer out of the salesperson so I'm coming to the community. Has anyone installed CC (Photoshop or InDesign) on a Mac running Snow Leopard and if so, does it work and what (if any) issues have you had? Thanks in advance!

    Hi MoJo61,
    To take the advantage of of all the features of CC apps, customer should upgrade to a newer version of Mac OSX:

  • Can IBM's Maximo work on a Mac running Safari or Firefox?

    We are trying to determine if IBM's Maximo can work on a Mac running Safari or Firefox. Has anyone tried this?

    Hi,
    Is there any particular aspect of Maximo you were interested in in particular? 'Maximo' as a general term seems to refer to the whole suite of applications it covers.
    If you haven't checked already, I'd recommend referring to the documentation over at ibm.com.

  • Can't access iTunes store from old mac running os 10.4

    Hi...  I have an Mac G4 (PowerPC) running OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger).  It's running the most current version of iTunes that was supported by that OS version.  I'm getting rid of that old machine soon and all I wanted to do was de-authorize iTunes from that computer.  The computer is clearly connected to the Internet but when I open iTunes and try to get it to connect to the iTunes Store, it constantly says an error occurred and it then says to check to see that the computer is connected to the network. 
    Any ideas why I can't connect to iTunes???  I clearly know the login information so that's not the problem.  Is the iTunes store no longer supporting OS X Tiger or something like that??? 
    On a related question, I see where I can de-authorize all computers from another computer and then reauthorize on the couple of computers where I still want to be able to use iTunes and the store.  Is there any danger with this deauthorize and then reauthorize concept???  Do I risk losing anything on the computers I still want to be authorize to access iTunes??? 
    Any help would be much appreciated...  thanks... bob...

    I don't know the answer to the first part (why you can't get to iTunes through Tiger), but regarding the second part, deauthorizing will not cause you to lose any information.  While deauthorized, you won't be able to access some information, but it won't be erased or removed.

  • Why won't Apple allow WiFi sync'g of iOS devices on PowerPC Macs running OS 10.5.8 and latest iTunes?

    Another note, I can't believe that after all of this time with the new discussion boards, you still can't edit posts from any of Apple's iOS devices.
    I posted this on my iPAd and had to just edit this from my Mac because I accidentally posted this question before I finished.
    Royal Pain!

    My Mac connects to the Internet via WiFi through a WifI card. I am running OS X 10.5.8 and the latest update of iTunes to find that Apple has (I think) artificially, not allowed sync'g of iOS devices on 10.5.8. This option is greyed out and says for OS 10.6 and above only.
    Why impose this limit if we Leopard users can still use the latest version of iTunes and have WiFi capabiltity to do so?

  • I can't open Premier 12 on my Mac running 10.9.1.

    The error message reads: Item “Adobe Premiere Elements 12” is used by OS X and can’t be opened.
    I tried running disk repair. Restarting the computer. No dice.
    --R

    Have you tried going into Applications and launching it from there?
    Also, where did you get your copy of Premiere Elements 12? Downloaded from Adobe, purchased in a box or purchased from the App Store.
    A number of people have reported issues with the App Store version.

  • Tethering BlackBerrys to a PowerPC Mac running 10.4 using Bluetooth

    I have noticed that the modem drivers available for OS 10.4 only seem to work with BlackBerry Device software 4.6.0.162 or below.
    Does anyone have any PowerPC or 10.4 Modem Drivers that work with the new vastly improved BlackBerry Device Software 4.6.0.216?
    Please advise.
    Many Thanks.

    Do you mean your desktop screen?

    Correct.

  • Just got girlfriend a new iPad2. Her iMac is a PowerPC G5 (Tiger version 10.4.11) with 512 mb RAM. What's the simplest, most efficient way to get her iPad2 up and running and synced to her Mac?

    Just got girlfriend a new iPad2. Her iMac is a PowerPC G5 (Tiger version 10.4.11) with 512 mb RAM. What's the simplest, most efficient way to get her iPad2 up and running and synced to her Mac?

    Most of the Apple store sales people and some of the genius bar people are only knowledgable on Apple's more recent offerings. They are not very knowledgable, I found, on older PowerPC based Apple computers, I'm afraid.
    Here's the real scoop.
    Your girlfriend's G5 can only install up to OS X 10.5 Leopard. This is the last compatible OS X version for PowerPC users.
    OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and OS X10.7 Lion are for newer Intel CPU Apple computers.
    Early iMac G5's can only have up to 2 GBs of RAM.
    Later iMac G5's (2005-2006) could take up to 2.5 GBs of RAM
    2 GBs of RAM will run OS X 10.5 Leopard just fine.
    The very latest iTunes (10.5.2) can be installed and runs on both PowerPC and Intel CPU Macs.
    However, there are certain new iTunes feature that won't work without an Intel Mac.
    One of iOS and iTunes feature is sync'g wirelessly over WiFi.
    This will not work unless you have an iDevice running iOS 5 and Intel Mac running 10.6 Snow Leopard or better.
    Although, I was disappointed I would not be able to do this with my G4 Mac, it's not a biggie problem for me.
    So, your girlfriend's computer should be fine for what she intends to use it for.
    The Apple people either just plain didn't know or we're trying to get you to think about buying a new Mac.
    At least, as of now, not truly necessary.
    If Apple, at some later point, drops support for PowerPC users running 10.5, then would be the time to consider a new or "newer" Intel CPU Mac.
    My planned Mac computer upgrade is seeking out a " newer" last version G5 for my "new" Mac.
    I can't afford, right now, to replace all of my core PowerPC software with Intel versions, so I need to stick with the older PowerPC Macs for the time being. The last of the G5's is what I seek.

    Use the Finder "Go" menu while holding down the option key to expose your User / Library folder.
    Look in the Application Support folder for PACE items and delete them.

  • What software can I update with on my powerpc g5.  Running Mac osx 10.4.11, What software can I update with on my powerpc g5?  Running Mac osx 10.4.11

    What software can I update with on my powerpc g5.  Running Mac osx 10.4.11, What software can I update with on my powerpc g5.  Running Mac osx 10.4.11.  Since it doesn't have Intel dual core processor, can't do Snow Leopard right?  Is there anyway to upgrade the software?

    Snow is Intel only.  You could get Leopard 10.5 by purchasing a Retail (black) Disk off eBay or calling Apple Service and ordering one from them.  That would allow you to run Safai 5 and iTunes 10, I believe, but would lose Classic support in the process.

  • I bought a 5 yr old Mac G5 OSx 10.4.11, 2 GHz intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB 667 MHz DDR1 SDRAM memory.  It works fine but I can't get Thunderbird, Flash Player or Adobe reader to install -- it shows up on desktop as download but not App folder. Why?

    Question:  I bought a 5 yr old Mac G5 OSx 10.4.11, 2 GHz intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB 667 MHz DDR1 SDRAM memory.  It works fine but I can't get Thunderbird, Flash Player or Adobe reader to install -- it shows up on desktop as download but not App folder. Why?

    The downloads are probably .dmg files (disk images).  You would open the disk image (double-click it) to find the application or an installer.  If it's the application itself, you then drag the application to your Applications folder to "install" it.  If it's an installer, double-click the installer to run the installer that installs the application.
    NOTE:  If you iMac is Intel, it's not a PPC G5.

    Hello,
    You can't upgrade to any faster, & especially not to an Intel CPU needed to run Lion/10.7 for full iCloud usage.
    You can have limited use of iCloud the way it is, you can view all of iCloud in a Browser, You can use Find my Phone I hear, & you can use IMAP Mail for syncing, but no other syncing.
