If I install Leopard onto my new mac, will it mess up my computer?

I have several programs and games that do not have updates and I would like to use them. They are powerpc applications. If I were to install Leopard what would happen? Is there a way to run dual operating systems?

You have Mavericks... Correct ?
If so... Power PC applications are Not Supported.
AND...You cannot Install an earlier version of OS X

Oh yeah, forgot about that, I would choose to get a faster internet connection before I got a new computer so I rarely think that way, thanks.
Well honestly my internet was fast enough for me unit I got a MBP that you had to use the internet to reinstall the OS. Because it didn't come with a $.32 DVD disc.
I have a 50mbps connection, kinda skews my viewpoint regarding internet speed.

I have the purchase receipt and can provide documentation of the serial number and order number. Will someone please help?

How do I install CS5 onto my new Mac OSX that has no disc drive?

I have the serial number and have loaded it onto one other computer, so I should still be able to put the program on my laptop as well. But it is giving me an error 6 for both PS and AI, but InDesign is saying I am missing files.
I have contacted the help center and it was no help, it was clear she did not know what to do because she kept asking me if I had a disc drive on my laptop which I had to keep clarifying that no, I don't.
I put the applications on a external harddrive and tried dragging them over onto my laptop, hoping it would just require I type in the serial number, but that did not work.
Please help!

Correct. No install, no licensing system, no working apps. You must run the installer properly. Refer to the below articles:
Errors "Exit Code: 6," "Exit Code: 7"
Troubleshoot with install logs
Anything beyond that will require much more info on your part.

Just re-download it and use the serial number you already own to activate it.

I installed CS3 Design premium upgrade yesterday onto my new mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. You gave me a new serial number. I have been able to open Photoshop, Bridge, Dreamweaver and Flash. The Illustrator, Indesign and Acrobat applications are not in my applications folder although there are folders in there with those names containing associated items. How can this have happened and what can I do?

I can't install Rosetta Stone onto my new Mac OSX (version 10.7.5). It says it "can't open application because Power PC applications are no longer supported." Is there any way to install?

I can't install Rosetta Stone onto my new Mac OSX (version 10.7.5)
Any suggestions?
The message says "can't open application because Power PC applications are no longer supported."
Thanks!

Thank you... spoke to Rosetta Stone and they said the same thing, and the give a nice discount when upgrading.
Normally 5 levels of a language run about $479. When upgrading, you can get the same 5 levels for $199.
Fewer levels costs even less.

OSX Leopard in the new Mac Mini

Hello, I need a support for a question.
I can install mac osx leopard in the new Mac Mini.
My mac is the last versión of Mac Mini Server with OSX LION Server.
How I can install Mac Osx Leopard, the compatibilities with OSX LION are very bad with my programs.
this can be done in the new Mac Mini?

Hola.
My mac mini is the version 5.3 of mid of the 2011.
Music hardware is working me a little better now, I think it has strengthened the stability and gives no error messages.
I afraid that I have become later unstable again .
But now it works perfectly.
The new mac mini 5.x never can works with Leopard?
Also I am interesting for the version of Lion Golden Master, but I think that is for developers only?
You have a page of Golden Master in apple.com?
Thanks
Regards from barcelona.

How do I install Mavericks onto a new SSD HD in my late 2008 MacBook Pro?

How do I install Mavericks onto a new SSD HD in my late 2008 Macbook Pro, and then I hopefully can reinstall my data from my Time Machine backup?
I presume the SSD will need some type of formatting, before I can install Mavericks from the internet? Then can I use my Time Machine backup to reinstall all my other software and settings?

In order to load Mavericks the SSD will have to be formatted Mac OS Extended with GUID partition mapping

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)

Install Leopard & Tiger on different Mac.

I just purchased Macbook (Leopard). Usually when we purchase a Mac computer, the OS will include. Can I Install Leopard on my old Mac computer (MacBook Pro-Santa), and Tiger on my new Macbook? I just purchased Macbook (Leopard). Usually when we purchase a Mac computer, the OS will include. Can I Install Leopard on my old Mac computer (MacBook Pro-Santa), and Tiger on my new Macbook? I need some opinion. Thanks. Sorry for my English.

To expand a bit on Niel's answer, you cannot instal an OS on any machine that is older than the machine itself. If your machine comes with Leopard, you can't put Tiger on it, and the Leopard install discs that come with your new MacBook are machine specific and won't work with your old machine.

Trying to install Leopard server on my Mac mini

I'm a registered Apple Select Developer and I'm trying to install Leopard Server on a Mac mini I just picked up the other day. Is there a way to do this using the image or do I have to burn a DVD in order to do the install? The image is over 5GB's so I'd need to get a dual layer disk.

Is this just for a test?
If so you can create 3 partitions, one a bootable volume the second partition a place to restore the Leopard image and the third partition to install the new software you restored on the second partition. You do loose two small volumes temporarily, but you can make them relatively small since these are only used for installation purposes. The details can be found on the developer site under " leopardclient_9a377a_seednote.rtf".
I've done this on older machines with no CD players installed.

How can I install Appleworks on a new Mac?

I've been using Macs since 1993, and have a lot of old files in Appleworks format. Whilst I now use Office and iWork '08, I'd be lost without Appleworks for many old files. Is it possible to install Appleworks on a new Mac, running Leopard? I hope to replace my laptop soon, but the fact its been discontinued has put my off for now. Any help gratefully received!

You can install AppleWorks 6.2.4 or AppleWorks 6.2.9 on your new Mac, using an install disk that has an OS X installer. (Installers prior to mid 2001 ran in Mac OS 9, and although the version of AppleWorks they install will likely run on Tiger or Leopard, the installer won't.)
Getting hold of a retail version may prove a bit difficult, as Apple is no longer supplying it to retailers. Hard Core Mac was reported recently to have install disks containing AppleWorks 6.2.4, and AW 6 does come up occassionally on eBay and other similar sites.
If the laptop you are replacing contains AppleWorks, you can transfer the application to your new machine by simply moving the whole AppleWorks 6 folder and its contents into the Applications folder on the new machine. Doing this via a CD will give you a backup copy should you ever need to reinstall the application. AppleWorks will create any other required files and folders as it needs them. Note that the usual single user licence allows for only a single copy of the application to exist on a single computer at a time. After moving the AW 6 folder to the new machine, you should delete it from the old to stay within the terms of the licence.

Barry

Will a FCP 3.0.4 upgrade from FCP 1 load onto a new Mac Pro

Will a FCP 3.0.4 upgrade from FCP 1 load onto a new Mac Pro. I have tried loading in onto a mac book with no luck. I think its because my original FCP 1 loades using OS9 and because the new Mac Pro does not have an old operating system on it I cant load my original FCP.

You should upgrade to FCP 5.1 or 6 as Jerry says.
However, if you are desperate you could try this :-
Install just your FCP 3 upgrade and also put in your FCP 1 serial number when asked.
Whenever you try to open FCP you will probably get an error message. Click the "esc" key and FCP should open.
