Can you install Leopard 10.5 on a computer that has XP OS.

I have a laptop and a desktop that both have XP OS. I want to know if I can load Leopard 10.5.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
No, but you can install XP on a Mac with Mac OS X Leopard.
http://www.apple.com/bootcamp/
First off, Apple's license agreement forbids installing Mac OS X on anything but an Apple Macintosh labelled computer. Secondly, those machines use a different firmware than Apple uses most of the time, as well as lack certain optimizations the operating system has for hardware.
You can get a Mac with XP compatibility new for as little as $600 in the Mac Mini:
http://www.apple.com/macmini/
And any Apple Macintosh made since October 26, 2007 can have both a preinstalled Leopard and a self installed XP on them.
eMachine, despite its name has no relationship to the eMac made by Apple, though those eMacs could only emulate windows. New Intel Macs made since 2006 can virtualize Windows which is much faster than emulation. To read about the differences, see my FAQ*:

  • Can you install leopard from an external usb disc drive?

    I don't know if the disc drive is fast enough for leopard or something. It's taking forever to open the installer, and when I restarted into the installer it just booted back to my desktop. I have an external disc drive I want to try. Can you install leopard from and external disc drive?

    ****, I just tried it and when I restarted it didn't go into the installer. I think my disc drive in my old mac mini might be too slow. It takes forever to recognize the disc and just to double click on it and it up. And when I tried to install it the first time from the internal drive it just booted right into my desktop again.

    But sorry for my ignorance. I understand how you mean it, but I don't know how to do it. I'm scared to lose the settings/edits of the images.

  • Can you install itunes on more than one computer?

    Hi all,
    I want to install the software for my first-generation ipod mini on my friend's computer, but I heard somewhere that you can only install the software on one computer and obviously I also want to be able to use it with my own computer as well. Can you install itunes software that comes with your ipod mini on as many computers as you want or only one?
    Many thanks,
    Samantha

    Sure you can. But instead of using the (more than likely) outdated CD, see the iTunes Download Page

    You don't need to install the software
    Sorry Jeff. She asked "Can you install itunes software that comes with your ipod mini on as many computers as you want or only one?"
    You HAVE to install the software (iTunes) in order to run it.
    Yes, you can install iTunes on as many computers as you want. You do not need to use the software CD that came with the iPod. Probably outdated anyway.
    You can download iTunes from www.itunes.com

  • Can you install flash for me thru my computer

    Can you install flash for me going thru my computer ? [email protected]

    Well this could happen for any number of reasons.
    It's a workaround, but you could try the download in this
    link
    http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/downloads.html
    Technically that's the update for the Flash authoring tool,
    but if you unzip it then you'll have a full players folder that you
    can install. If you're stuck after that point then open a support
    case.
    Flash Player technical support is available via webcase only
    at:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/
    There is no phone support for Flash Player.

  • How do you add another account onto the same computer that  has itunes?

    I want to add another account to my already existing account so that my dad can have his own music on the same computer with mine. can i do that? or should i just move all of my stuff to an another computer and just let him have the old one? i know this prolly sounds confusing but someone please tell me if i can do this!

    See if this helps: Using Windows XP User Accounts
    Creating a separate Windows User account for each person on your PC will give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one.

  • How  do i install flash player on a different computer that has no internet access

    how do i install a dobe flash player 11 on a win 7 computer that i cannot hookup to internet at a different location?

    Download the appropriate Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking one of the following links.
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Save it to a flash drive. Plug the flash drive into the offline computer.
    Copy the appropriate installer to the desktop and install from there

  • Can I install OS 10.2 on my Desktop that has leopard on it?

    Can anyone tell me? I have an old (about 6 year old) Mac. I made the mistake of upgrading it to leopard. Then realized I need it to be able to run some old 0s 9 software. Can I reinstall the Panther CD without formating the disk?

    There is always a risk you might need to erase the drive.  Thankfully, if the question is regarding a dual G5, your machine supports two internal hard drives built-in  I would recommend adding a second hard drive. 10.2 is not Panther.  10.3 is Panther.  10.2 is Jaguar.

    Our Netweaver Portal (EP6 sp20) is running on a Unix box.
    Can I not install Portal Development Kit (PDK) - 60.14.0 ????
    It says in the installation guide:
    "The PDK is like the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio released and supported for Windows platforms only."
    I thought Business Packages were Platform Independent ???

    yes you can, at your own risk

  • Can you recover saved data on a Time Capsule that has died?

    I came home today to find that the green light to my Time Capsule was off.  Did all the usual fixers...and after going to the several posts on a DEAD TC...I guess I have latest one.  In addition to backing up my PC...I had a bunch of saved documents also.....can these be recovered or should I just can the TC?
    Thanks for any responses!

    With power supplies on ebay for $25 it is just as cheap and easy to unplug the power supply as it is to remove the hard disk and buy a cradle for it.
    Power supply. Replacement left sitting next to the old one right. The covers have been removed and replaced.. Just make sure you get the 34W supply for the 2TB drive. The early supply was 30W and could not handle it.
    Pull out the supply.. 3 plugs.. Mains in, Sata power and board.. and plug the new one in.
    Only because these are fairly plentiful and much cheaper now.. it might not even last long.. but at least to recover your data and erase and sell as a working unit that is fair enough.
    (not sure how long the post will last with pics of open TC??)

  • Can you open Logic 8 sessions on another computer that only has Logic 7?

    My and some friends are working on a project. I have Logic 8, they have Logic 7. Is it possible for me to open session from my computer on theirs?

    If the storage device is a network attached storage (NAS) then it will have its own operating system that offers sharing services through protocols like AFP or SMB. This means the device itself manages access permissions, and to access files you will need to log into the NAS with the appropriate credentials.
    If the drive is just an external FireWire, USB, or Thunderbolt storage array, then you can select it in the Finder, press Command-I to get information on it, and then click the option to ignore permissions on this volume in the Sharing section of the information window. This will allow you full access to the drive's contents.
