Conflicting Operating systems - How to Uninstall

I am having major problems. Here's my question:
Currently when I go to STARTUP DISK, I have the following choices:
Mac 10.4.3 on Mac HD (my boot drive)
Mac 10.2.5 on Mac HD1
Mac 10.3.9 on Mac HD2
Mac 9.2.2 on Mac HD2
Mac 9.2.2 on Mac HD
I would like to just use 10.4.3. How do I unistall the other operating systems? To complicate matters even more, I have Final Cut Pro 4 and I want to put this on its own boot drive. Do I have to partition one of my hard drives? Can't I use the FCP program to boot my system from? I think I have many cconflicts which is why my system is sluggish. Also, what if I just wanted to re-intsall 10.2 and start over? Goven that FCP 4 uses QT 6.4 or later, I don't think I can do that. Correct? I have many more questions but will start here. Thanks a lot.
Dual 1 GHz Power PC G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

You partition it. I have mine partitioned so that I can run various OSs, similar to your situation. But, I also have duplicates on another internal HD and backups on an external FWHD, so that I can use one for day-to-day use and another for beta-testing software. If anything screws up the test volume, I just erase it, clone another copy to it, and I'm back in business. See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh14.html for details.

  • I would like to download an older version of iTunes for a 32-bit operating system, how can I do this?

    I would like to download an older version of iTunes for Windows Vista which has a 32-bit operating system. Any suggestions on how I can do this?

    Hi JNPhillips1,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Visit the main iTunes download page from your computer, and you should see the 32-bit download "iTunes 11.0.5 for Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7:"

  • I have an imac 4.1 with 2g of ram and is currently running 10.5.8 operating system, How high can I upgrade the operating system?

    I have a 2006 intel imac 4.1 with 2g of ram. I am currently running 10.5.8 and wish to upgrade the operating system. How high can I go as I would like to link it up with my newer imac, iphone and ipad...please advise and 10.5.8 is not cutting it.

    You can run up to 10.6.8 on that particular model. That OS version is still available:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    10.6.8 will run on 2GB RAM, the max for that model.

  • I want the leopard operating system, how can i have it?

    i have tiger operating system in my macbook and i want the leopard, but i cant find a link or something to download it, how can i? doeas someone have an idea about how download leopard?

    There is no free or paid download of any OS X system version below Lion OS 10.7. Apple does provide free downloads of updates to the base OS X.
    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
    MB022Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Installation and Setup Guide
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/leopard_install-setup.pdf
    After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
    The DVD should look like this
    Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

  • I need to take music off my Iphone to download new oper. system. how do I do this?

    I need to take music off my I Phone to download new operating system. How do I do this?

    Hey smllygoblue,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource may provide a solution:
    Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4623
    Make sure your device has enough available space to install the update. Use iTunes to update if you don't have enough space, or remove content from your device. Tap Settings > General > Usage to see how much space your content uses.
    Thanks,

  • New phone AND operating system - how do I transfer my apps?

    I'm going from having an iMac with 10.4.11 to a MacBook Pro with 10.6.4 - and I've upgraded my iPhone 3G with a 4.
    I cannot sync my new phone with the old computer (where all the apps, my calendar) due to the old operating system.
    I have managed to transfer my music, photos, calendar & contacts - now how do I get all my apps over there, too? (purchased & otherwise ....)
    I found the app folder under User-Music-iTunes-MobileApplications on the old computer and tried copying onto my new computer, but maybe I'm not putting it in the right place - and those are only some of my apps - is there an easier way?

    You can transfer them from the old iphone. Without syncing-File>Transfer Purchases
    You can use migration assistant to move everything over.
    You can copy the entire itunes folder across.
    Unlike music, you can redownload apps:

  • I just bought a new MacBook Pro and it came with the old operating system, how do I upgrade it to the latest one without having to purchase it?

    Hi,
    Im a new Mac user. I currently just bought a new MacBook Pro. The first computer I got apparently had a problem with the flex, so I had to go change it for a new one. The first one had the latest operating system, the second one the store gave me didn't, yet it's still a brand new computer, so I don't see why I should have to pay for the new operating system, which should already come with my brand new computer. So I am trying to contact apple so they may give me permission to download it from the app store for free, due to this inconvenience and first bad experience. The vendor tells me that sometimes new computers may come with old operating systems because they're from an old batch of new computers. Oh and by the way, I'm from Honduras, and bought it at Jetstereo, in Tegucigalpa (the capital). This store is a licensed distributor.
    Hope someone can help me,
    Ankie Zapata

    Go to the Mac App Store main page and click on Support under Quick Links.

  • I updated my 4G to the 5.0 operating system, how do I can all my apps back

    I updated my 4G to the 5.0 operating system and lost a number of my apps.  Is there a way I can restore my Iphone to its last setting from a backup or do I have to manually add each app back?  I uses a "TO DO" app with a ton of data on it that I want back on my iPhone

    My sons phone did the same thing. Once the update was through and finished syncing he unplugged it and all his apps were missing. He plugged it back up and it resynced using his last back up on the computer. Try just plugging it back up again and manually resyncing it if you have to from the FILE menu.

  • Operating system: how to switch CS6, LR from Win to Mac?

    i have bought both cs6 and Lightroom in window environment , recently I plan to switch to Mac system.  Please advice how to proceed with the migration. Thank you

    CS6 for Windows requires a platform swap: Order product | Platform, language swap
    You'll be issued a new Mac serial number and you won't be able to use your Windows serial number any more.
    The serial number for Lightroom is multi-platform. Just download the Mac installer onto your Mac and enter your existing serial number.
