Can I upgrade to OS X v10.5 on my mac? don't have original 10.4.11 discs..
I could really use some help if anyone is knowledgeable on this. I have 2 questions.
Can I run OS X v 10.5 on my mac or is it too old/incompatible? See model/specs below. Also, I bought this from a college auction and didn't receive any of the original software discs. IF I can run v 10.5 on this model, do I need the original install discs for Tiger or is the Leopard upgrade DVD all I need?
Here are the specs for my mac:
Machine Name: iMac G5
Machine Model: PowerMac8,2
CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (3.0)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.8 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 512 MB
Bus Speed: 600 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 5.2.5f1
Thank You!!!!

V.K., thanks for the reply.
I was waiting to buy a retail version of leopard if I am able to install. Do you have a link where I can track down RAM for this model, the upgrade to 2GB? I have found a few sites but don't want to get the wrong brand or hit any other road blocks.
my favorite site for this is OWC

I am contemplating purchasing an iPad, and then possibly a Macbook pro. Currently, I have an iMac G5, and a Powerbook G4. Neither which can be upgraded past Leopard. My question is do I need to have Snow Leopard in order to be able to update an iPad? Do I need to reverse my thought on which to buy first?
I plan on keeping the iMac and PB until they cease to work ( have replaced HD's on both already). I mostly use the PB-- lots of writing, surfing, email, etc.
Your thoughts?The minimum Mac specs (from http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/) are :
Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
iTunes 10.2 or later recommended (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
iTunes Store account
Internet access
So you only need Leopard, not Snow Leopard -
If I have a 2009 iMac, can I upgrade to use it with Apple TV. It doesn't have Airplay capability. If possible, what should I buy?
You need a newer 2011 or later iMac to use Airplay.
Sorry.
For older Mac, look at an app called AirParrot

You say you have iOS 7. If you are a developer you have access to the private OS 7 developer's forum

Can I upgrade to 10.5 on power pc g4 mac mini?
Can I upgrade to 10.5 on power pc g4 mac mini?
Processor Type:
PowerPC G4
Processor Speed:
1.25 GHz
Memory:
256 MBYou need to upgrade your RAM for any performance! At least 1GB.
Crucial link for your 1.25 here.
You may need to switch to the US store via the flag at the top.
Biggest problem is getting the retail Leopard disc. You may be able to get one from Apple Phone Sales still, but expect to pay $100 - $130.
Amazon had some for $180 and up last time I looked. -

Hi, How can I delete my icloud account on my iphone? I don't have that email address I was using before anymore and I already tried deleting the account but it is asking for the password and I don't remember it.
Hi ale.vica,
You need to go to Manage your Apple ID, https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/, and sign in with your current Apple ID and password and do the following:
1. Edit your current Apple ID and change it back to the ID which is displaying for your iCloud account. You do not need to verify it - this is only a temporary change
2. Go into Settings>iCloud on your device and delete the iCloud account. Use your current password when your are prompted for a password
3. Once the old iCloud account is deleted, go back into Manage your Apple ID and change your ID back to the current one
4. Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with your current ID and password
That should take care of your issue!
Cheers,

How can I create a new TC backup with ethernet, so I don't have to wait two days for a new wireless backup?
Several times in the last year, I've gotten a message that Time Machine needs to completely redo my backup. Using the wireless connection, this takes almost two days. Is there a way to do the backup with ethernet and then switch back to wireless? Thanks.May I know what is needed to make sure the MacBook is able to see Time Capsule on ethernet?
Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the 2Wire gateway to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the Time Capsule.
If AirPort Utility cannot "see" the Time Capsule now, you will need to perform a "hard reset" by holding in the reset button for 7-8 seconds or so and then reconfigure the Time Capsule. You can use the same Time Capsule name and password, etc. as before.
Configure the Time Capsule to "Create a wireless network" and select the Bridge Mode option when it appears during the setup using AirPort Utility.
Once the Time Capsule is configured, restart the entire network again. Power down everything, start the 2Wire first and then start each other device after that one at a time about a minute apart.
Now you can connect your Mac directly to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule for the backup using another Ethernet cable. In general, about 20-25 GB per hour will transfer.
The Time Capsule will broadcast a much faster wireless network than the 2Wire can provide, so you might want to leave the setup "as is" for awhile after the first backup is complete. If you decide to use the Time Capsule as your main wireless access point, you would want to turn the wireless off on the 2Wire since two wireless networks in close proximity can create interference problems.
Or, if you want to use the wireless on the 2Wire, you could turn off the wireless on the Time Capsule. Then backups will occur over the 2Wire wireless, or over Ethernet.
I don't really recommend the "Join a wireless network" setting on the Time Capsule for most users, but you could go back to that setup as well if you want after the first backup is complete. -
I’m trying to follow HP’s instructions to add a driver for HP Color Laserjet CP 1215 which is connected to my Time Capsule. However, in System Preferences I can’t “add” the printer to the print queue because I don’t have a driver and you have to select a driver before the add button becomes active. Therefore, the Mountain Lion software update doesn’t add driver software for the CP 1215 driver because I was unable to add the printer to the print queue.
This printer doesn't seem to be supported in ML:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01664444&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en &product=412187#N2043
You could try the 1515 driver or use the Generic PostScript Printer PPD when adding the printer.
Hope this helps. -

I own CS5 on my work laptop which was just stolen. Do I need to buy a new CS from scratch or can I transfer CS5 to a new computer even though I don't have the computer that CS5 is on? Company purchased CS5 before the whole creative cloud leasing thing started, but after discs.
