Hello !, can i install Mac OSX Lion to my PC (not mac) i have got Intel Core2 Quad processor and Gigabyte P35-DS3 and 3GB RAM and ATI Radeon HD4850 Sapphire graphics Card ?

Hello Guys
i want to install MacOSX to my pc
i heard something about that (like OSX86 project ?)
i have got Intel Core2 Quad processor and Gigabyte P35-DS3 and 3GB RAM and ATI Radeon HD4850 Sapphire graphics Card ?
please answer .......

Teknus... Here's the issue. For starters, I understand software licensing issues may not be interpreted the same in all countries (although they are still applicable). I also understand that everyone is not familiar with what software licensing is. It is technically possible to install OS X on a PC (as you have seen on your friends computer). However, Apple has designed OS X to only work on Macs. In order to get OS X to work on a PC, it must be modified ("hacked"). As these forums are owned by Apple, we are not permitted to provide you with instructions on how to hack their OS.
Having said that, I have used OS X on PCs. It is not a pleasant experience at all. The experience is actually poor enough on a PC that I would not even use it... opting for Windows or Linux instead. You're simply sacrificing too much of the true OS X experience when you try to run it on standard PC hardware. If you want to try a different operating system, give Linux a try. There are many free versions out there and they will run on just about any PC. The forums are also very helpful. Linux is much more similar to OS X than Windows.
I understand that Macs are expensive and that you would like to use OS X on a PC. The simple fact is that using it on a PC would not be the same as using it on a Mac.

Cannot install mac OSX lion v.10.7 on mac mini

I try to install mac OSX lion v.10.7 but they say u need atleast 2GB of memory in HD Machintosh, but i have more enought memory already.

Hello, perhaps you're confusing RAM Memory with Disk Space?
At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware> and report this upto but not including the Serial#...

How do I install Mac OSX Lion client on the new Mac Mini Server?

If Apple would have had the quad-core processor option for the non-server Mac Mini, I would have just bought that, but I wanted the quad-core. I do not, however, need the server software. I found this article talking about how to disable the server functionality, but this article highlights how little that method actually does.
Ultimately, I just want to do a clean reinstall like I used to do prior to Lion. This process used to be so easy. Create a disk image of the desired operating system on USB, option boot, and you're done. Now it appears that Apple purposely impedes this process, as every time I boot from the USB I created with Mac OSX Lion client, I get a circle with a line through it. Is there any way around this restriction? Editing firmware, editing .plist files, etc?
Very disappointed that Apple is limiting what used to be such a simple process on Hardware and Software that I paid for but now can't get the functionality I want.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but what I don't think you can do what you're asking for. Closest thing is going to be disabling the server components like it says in the article, but again, that doesn't do much.

ATI Radeon 9600 PRO Graphics Card

I am thinking of upgrading my graphics card, my computer came with a Nvidia Geforce4 mx, I was at the apple store and noticed a few people having problems with this card. I was wondering if anyone out there has any info for me about the odds of this card working on my Quicksilver G4 933 MHz. Iam driving a Cinema Display 20 inch. I really like gaming online and could use the added memory that the ATI Radeon Pro 9600 has, plus my curent card has problems with full screen games.

StephanZcat,
I've been out of town for a bit and just saw your post and links. I'll do some research and see if I can come up with something. ...and maybe we can get some other experts in here.
JBernstein:
Apple usually has a disclaimer about all 3rd party upgrades to Mac's that states they 'do not support them'. So, if it's not for sale at the Apple Store or a Dealer, "It's not supported" - even if it works just fine. For Apple Authorized Do-it-Yourself upgrades there is a page you can access:
http://www.apple.com/support/diy/
There are many sites that track Mac upgrades, I'll list a few.
For 3rd party upgrades and issues, look at:
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/
http://www.barefeats.com/
http://eshop.macsales.com/benchmark/index.cfm
BTW, your 20' just needs at least a 32MB Video card to push it. Here's a list of most cards that will fit in your 'Sawtooth'. It's set up for Apple Cubes but the information may be helpful in
seeing the differences in video cards
http://www.cubeowner.com/forums/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=1327
Note: Your Sawtooth's motherboard does NOT support ADC connections. There is no power supply for them. You will have to make sure whatever Video card you get has DVI and VGA (not ADC).
Look at this for compatible video cards for a Sawtooth:
http://eshop.macsales.com/MyOWC/Upgrades.cfm?model=166&type=Video&TI=%23TimeForm at%28Now%28%29%2C&shoupgrds=ShowUpgrades
Finally, there are a host of 'flashed' PC video cards available for Mac's on Ebay. I have a few and most work fine. If you want to see some options, I suggest you look at what a seller named 'yoyomarv' has for sale. Ask questions before you buy. A card you might consider is a converted NVidia Geforce 4 Ti 4600
It's a start...

Is there a ATI Radeon HD 5770 Graphic card for 2-monitor use?

Hi, I just purchased a ATI Radeon HD 5770 Graphics Upgrade Kit for Mac Pro only to discover that there is only one VGI port for a monitor. I have been using two monitors for Final Cut work since I bought my MacPro tower in 2006. I need this new card to work with fxfactory 'pan and zoom' as a plug-in in Final Cut Studio. Does anyone know if Apple makes one with two VGI ports?
Thanks very much, Bob

What is VGI?
If you mean VGA - VGA is a VERY old connection type and the 5770 does not have a VGA port.
Do you mean DVI?
The card has a dual link DVI and two mini DisplayPorts. If you mean you need a second DVI connection, get a Mini DisplayPort to DVI connector from Apple or a 3rd party converter supplier.

I can't install OS x lion, The software could not be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading.

I can't intall the OS lion. is show me this message, The software could not be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading.?

I encountered the same error "…can't be verified…" error on my 2010 MBP too. Tried six times and finally I could get it installed. Here's what I did:
Went to "Users & Groups" in System Preferences, checked that the Apple ID specified for the current user is the same Apple ID I used in the download purchase of ML from the App Store.
Rebooted in Safe Mode.
Went to Disk Utility -> Repair Disk Permissions
Downloaded ML at midnight (and the download was significantly faster!)
Rebooted in Normal Mode.
Ran the ML Installer.

If I downloan Mac osx lion, does that mean that i will have to pay for Mac osx mountain lion

If I download Mac os x lion, does that mean that i will have to pay for Mac os x mountain lion? or will it be like an upgrade for free?
I am just not to sure as to whether I buy it now or later? Please help.
Thanks.

If you do not find Lion or Mountain Lion features compelling, I recommend you not buy it AT ALL!
10.6.8 works for most of the stuff I do, and I only got 10.7 to play with it.
If you are using
Photoshop CS2
AppleWorks
Word 2004 or earlier
Quicken 2007 or earlier
Eudora 6
FileMaker 6
look long and hard at 10.7 -- these Applications along with hundreds of other less-popular titles are no longer supported in these versions!!

ATI Radeon HD 3870 Graphics Card for Mac debuts

http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,147040-c,graphicsboards/article.html
AMD on Thursday announced the ATI Radeon HD 3870 for Mac and PC Edition. The new card is expected to ship at the end of June for US$219.
The card works in the PCI Express slots of both first-generation and second-generation Mac Pro systems, and features 512MB of 256-bit GDDR4 frame buffer memory and 320 stream processors. It's designed as a graphics upgrade for Mac Pros -- even those that may have come equipped with the Nvidia GeForce 8800 card introduced earlier this year. AMD claims its new Radeon card runs faster and costs less than the GeForce 8800 GT, which is only available from the Apple Store and costs $279.
The graphics processor can crank up to 70 gigabytes per second bandwidth using a 775MHz engine. That translates, according to AMD's internal benchmarks, into *30 to 180 percent better performance in Apple's Motion 3 software than the GeForce 8800*; slow Motion performance has been an Achilles' heel of Nvidia's rival card since its introduction.
http://ati.amd.com/products/radeonhd3800/macpc/index.html

Rob has it benchmarked:
http://www.barefeats.com/harper16.html
I'm going to definitely buy this as soon as it's online. I'll order it through Rob's link too to reward him for all the work he's done on this issue.
Now, how about a refund on my GeForce 8800 upgrade, Apple?

I have a 27" Viewsonic 1080p monitor connected to an oldish Mac Pro with an ATI Radeon X1900 XT Graphics card. The problem is that the image does not fill the screen?!?!?

I know the image can fill the monitor, because at start up, the white Apple logo screen fills it up. But once the system starts up, there are bands of black framing the image. I have searched extensively on the internet and found the following clues, none of which solved the problem:
1) In the Windows world you can get software from ATI called Catalyst Converter that gives you the cpaobility to scale the image. This software/feature is not available for Mac users.
2) Viewsonic's web site has a trouble shooting tool. This came up in response to the topic "you have recently upgraded to a larger monitor"
"This could be an issue if you have an older Apple using the system's onboard memory to support both the system and video display. Even if you have enough onboard RAM to support a higher resolution, it will not since the system will use some of the memory. Because the true video RAM available is much smaller than the total onboard amount, the system limits the size of the image. You will need to contact Apple to get an upgrade in onboard RAM or update the complete system."
I have 2GB of RAM, so lack of RAM memory does not seem to be an issue. I am running OS 10.6.8
Does anyone have any clue how to solve this problem. It is frustrating to have a 27" monitor behaving like a 25" monitor.
Thanks in advance for sharing any experience on this.

Blank screen while using a ati radeon x1300 pro graphics card

i'm getting a blank screen at start up while using my radeon x1300 pro... dont really know whats wrong with it. the agp slot is good, i'm getting power to the card, my board is set to boot agp/pci for the video so thats good. only problem is is that i'm not sure what the model of my motherboard is to check with compatiblity. got the mb and processor from a buddy of mine. he got the mb and processor from a friends grandpa... so to make long storys short. i have no idea what my computer is made of but from what i hear ati products dont seem to get along well with msi. is there any logical reason? and if so is there anything that i have overlooked here? common problems and such. i've updated everything i could update but still no signs of life comming from my video card " and yes the card was pushed in all the way". any feed back would be appreciated.

Example of what system spex should look like:-
MSI P865 Platinum with 3.A bios ( MS-6728 VER 2 )
Enermax 465 20 pin PSU +3.3V = 35A +5V = 35A +12V = 33A
Intel P4 Northwood 3.0Ghz (No overclock) (Arctic cooling Freezer HSF unit with Coolalabs thermal metal coolant)
512Mb Corsair XMS ddr400 memory (2x256Mb in dual mode)
Trust Dugital Pci Sound card
Nvidia 6800GT 256Mb memory AGP card (No overclock)
80Gb Western Digital IDE hard disk on Primary
LG DVD IDE optical drive on Secondary
Jeantech Phong case (120mm in front intake and 120mm at back exhaust)
Win 98 SE (Del modded edition)
I am sure this will help you.

Now that OSX Mountain Lion has been released, can I still buy OSX Lion to update my 2009 Mac?

I have a 2009 MacBook running OSX Snow Leopard with the latest update. I wanted to upgrade to the new Mountain Lion but I got the message that my system couldn't run it. So now I'm wondering if I can upgrade to the Lion 10.7 OS but I can't find it anywhere in the iTunes store or the Apple online store. Plenty of places to download the 10.7.x upgrades but not the OS. So, is it no longer available now that Mountain Lion has been released? Or do I have to visit a store to buy the disk?

You have to Call Apple, 1-800-My-Apple, and order it over the phone. Apple will then send you a email with a Code in it to download it from the MAS.

I can't download linked files on mac osx lion what do i do?

i can't download linked files on mac osx lion what do i do?

There have been some reported problems with Apple's servers.
Try this.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
I assume you are trying to update via wifi. You can also connect the iPad to your computer and update using iTunes.

Radeon HD 5770 graphics card works perfectly with my MAC Pro 1,1 and Adobe CS6. However, Photoshop CC won't read the card drivers and says I need to reinstall them and disabled 3D funtions as a result. Anyone else with this issue?

Radeon HD 5770 graphics card works perfectly with my MAC Pro 1,1 and Adobe CS6. However, I upgraded to Adobe CC and Photoshop CC disabled some filters and 3D functionality. The preference panel for Performance/Graphics Card in Photoshop CC is greyed out and inaccessible and shows this message -
"Photoshop detected an error in your display driver. Update or reinstall the driver and check Use Graphics Processor to retry."
I still have Photoshop CS6 installed and it still works perfectly. Anyone else with this issue? Is there a driver update for this compatable with my setup?
OS 10.7.5
Mac Pro 1,1
20gb ram
ATI Radeon HD 5770 Graphics Card
30" Apple Cinema HD display

after going round with this Adobe was able to find the fix....opened the "show content" folder for the application Photoshop CC (control click on the application folder) and navigate to the sniffer file and rename it by putting a tilda ~ in front of the name..." ~sniffer ", close and open PhotoshopCC...and voila, problem solved... Thankyou Adobe support
