Install 10.6.8 over Tiger Intel to Continue Using Sophos

I am currently using Sophos for Mac Free Edition 8.0.21C on my iMac Ma200LL/A Core Duo 2gigs, 2gigs of ram. As of April 2014 Sophos will only support 10.6.8 + above with version 9. No new virus definitions will be available, but I can continue to scan my computer for existing definitions. I still enjoy using Tiger Intel, fulfills all my requirements, runs very fast on my iMac Core Duo. As an alternative shall I think about using ClamXav 2.2.1 the last version for Tiger Intel that still offers the newest virus definitions as well as current system scanning. I think Sophos is the best because of its reputation in the enterprise sector. Or might it be time to install 10.6.8 over Tiger Intel, then continue using Sophos to be optimally safe on the internet? Thanks, Ken.

I guess I'm a bit confused by what you mean by support.
I'm sure you realize that Apple hasn't supported it since Sep 2009 and there won't be any software updates beyond ClamXav 2.2.1. The scan engine will continue to work and could possibly be updated by you with some degree of difficulty. The signature updates are the only thing that will continue and there are even plans to improve the OS X coverage that is TBD. The only danger is that the ClamAV® folks did disable engine 0.94 back in 2009 with no warning, so hopefully that won't happen again.

Installing Leo over Tiger: is this wise?

hi guys
wondering whether there have been good successes of installing Leo over Tiger. What would be the best approach to do this so all my system info isn't lost in the upgrade?
cheers and appreciate any advice

Hi
Just done this on 24 macs (including a server). Mixture of MacBooks and iMac Aluminiums. A MacPro as the Server. All 10.4.10. Straight forward upgrade to 10.5.1 for the clients using NetBoot and then upgraded to 10.5.4. Apart from one iMac which had drive/directory problems all working fine.
However this was in an office environment - Word, Mail and some low level database work. In a Design Studio environment I would have archived/installed followed by an application reinstall where needed.

Installed apps from Macbook Pro Tiger disk to a Powerbook G4

I bought a used powerbook G4 that came with Tiger installed, but no tiger disk included in the sale (so i'll have to buy my own copy of it if i want to reinstall anything). Everything on the machine worked perfect... until one day.... okay here's the dumb thing i did: My friend has a new Macbook Pro (with Intel) and i hoped i could install programs from his Tiger disk that i didn't have on my computer (like Garage Band). So i put in his Tiger disk that came with his Macbook Pro (even though someone had advised me that it wouldn't work on a G4!) and in it i found a package of optional applications. I couldn't find and select Garage Band separately on the disk so i decided to just install all optional apps from that package. I figured my computer wouldn't let me even start all this if the Tiger disk was incompatible with my G4. Well, it did proceed along and I watched as it installed a bunch of standard programs i already had on my computer. But oh well i figured it wouldn't hurt anything to reinstall apps like that. Then, I just couldn't find a way to list and select individual programs to install, so i just gave up on the whole idea of getting my friend's Garage Band.
The next day some of my apps were acting funny. Had problems with Mail, Safari and Itunes. Fortunately, doing an update online fixed mail and safari. But itunes continues to not act right and it's always crashing and i have to force quit. Also my netzero software has become corrupted 2 times since the messing with the Macbook Pro tiger disk, and i've had to reinstall the ISP software. If i buy my own Tiger disk for G4 then i can reinstall itunes completely and hopefully that would solve it's problems. But i'm worried that when i messed with the Intel tiger disk i may have put some code on my hard disk that's harmful and useless to a G4 and could cause further problems down the road.
So my question is: Has anyone heard of this happening before and what would be the best thing for me to do? And i hope that if i must reinstall the whole OSX tiger, that i can use the "archive and install" mode so i won't lose any 3rd party software on my powerbook.
Thankyou for reading.

I would not advise an Archive and Install because it will preserve components of the old system such as your users folder (unless you opt not to do that) which may contain items that are now not compatible. Archive and Install also keeps applications that now are incompatible.
I would recommend the following:
1. Boot from your Tiger DVD. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button, then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Now proceed with OS X installation.

Installing New Microsoft Office Over Old?

I bought Microsoft Office 2008 which I want to install on my external HD which is running Tiger. But on my old internal HD I was running Office 2001. I thought I'd have to re-install that Office onto my new HD but that didn't seem to work. When I open the alias of my old HD and try to open Word documents I get the warning that Microsoft can't open shared libraries and to either open virtual memory or re-install. What's weird is when I first opened a doc just now, it did open into Text Edit, although it had a W at the top like it was Word. But when I tried a second doc, then I got the warning again. Maybe because the 2001 Office is old is why it's not working properly? Or, if I install the new Office onto Tiger, will it over-ride the older one? Do I need to un-install the old Office? I don't want to do anything without asking, first. Thanks for any reply.

When you use Classic, Tiger starts up a pretend version of OS9 using the version of OS9 you have told it to use as Classic.
I have on my computer this set up:
Hard drive 1: OS9
Hard drive 2: Tiger, OS9
When I want to boot to OS9 I select the version of OS9 on drive 1. It has a lot of extras in it that won't help when using OS9 as Classic.
When I want to run an OS9 generation program inside Classic when booted from Tiger I have it set so Tiger uses the copy of OS9 on drive 2. This copy does not have plug-ins in it required by certain programs I use only when actually fully booted to OS9. Those programs would protest if I tried to use them from inside Classic because they could not find those components.
I don't know if you have a similar setup. If you did, it would explain why Office 2001 does not work in Tiger's Classic but does when booted to OS9 which is actually a different copy of OS9.
Since I also have the older Word documents on CDs, will they open into the newer Word after it's been installed and I insert the CDs? Or would I be able to just drag them from the OS 9 folder and onto the desktop and then into the new (Tiger) folder?
They should just work with the new version of Word wherever they are located. You don't need to move them. The only problem with having them on CDs is you won't be able to save changes.

Installing Leopard(10.5) keeping Tiger(10.4)

Hi everyone,
How do I install Leopard keeping Tiger to be able to switch between the 2 operations system? Will I be running in endless problems If I do such a thing? The reason, is that I need Leopard to run OsiriX 3.1(processing software for medical images) and was told that CS2 is not agreed with Leopard, so need to keep Tiger.
Hopefully they could get along!
Thanks!

I have Power PC G5 (not intel), and already using the other SATA connection on motherboard (only 2) for external hard drive for Final Cut pro 5. I think the best would be another hard drive with Firewire which I would use only for OrisiX. Is is pretty straightforward to install an operation system onto an external hard drive?
Thank you for your time!

How can I replace a damaged Tiger (intel) restore DVD

Hi,
How can I replace my damaged Tiger (intel) restore DVD for a Mac Mini. The version of Tiger in the shops is for PPC, the restore DVD that came with the Mac Mini is now covered in scratches and will not work.
Kind Regards,
Dave.
Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Welcome to the forums!
Install DVDs are for Tiger are specific to the model and build of your mac, so getting one at the store won't work anyway.
Contact AppleCare, explain the problem, and they will send you a replacement. You'll need your serial number (look in System Profiler), and you will have to pay a nominal charge for shipping/handling.
Hope this helps...

Can i install windows 8.1 over xp in bootcamp

Can I install windows 8.1 over xp in bootcamp?

Is it on the system drive? on its own drive or is it large enough?
Windows 8.1 will run even without Apple's drivers just fine except for a couple items.
Boot Camp forum probably is best place.
Boot Camp is software (and a forum) as in drivers and Boot Camp Assistant.
You have to do a "custom" clean install, you can't upgrade from within XP, you should of course be using 64-bit and Pro for supporting two cpus.

Able to install Acrobat 9.1 over the pre-release build

I am able to install Acrobat 9.1 over the pre-release build, however, the release notes say otherwise i.e. to un-install the pre-release build before installing the 9.1 release. Let me know whether to log a bug for the same.

I do not have posting privileges on that forum. I did use the forum to send a message to Apple but have not got a reply yet.

How do I install LabVIEW 6.0 over the evaluation version? I can't un-install the evaluation version.

I get the message that another version of LabVIEW 6.0 is already installed and it won't let me install 6.0. How do I get rid of the evaluation version?

I don't have LabVIEW in my Add/Remove Programs. I may have at one time, but
can't remember. The removal must have been incomplete becasue LabVIEW 6.0
says "Another version of this produce is already installed." The same thing
happens if I try to reinstall the evaluation version.

I am trying to install Lion OS X over Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8

I am trying to install Lion OS X over Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8
I get an error message: "There are currently other logged in users who must be logged out before you install Mac OS X".
I switch to log out other users and deleted everyone listed. It still says: ....
There is no one else left. I don't know what to do now.
Bill

I don't know what you mean by "I switch to log out other users and deleted everyone listed" -- if other user accounts are on your Mac you just need to log them out, not delete anything -- but it may be that there are other user accounts you aren't aware of on the Mac.
Are you an admin user? Did you originally set up this Mac?

Partition w/Tiger and able to use classic on Intel Mac

(1) Can I partition an Intel-based Mac with Leopard on partition#1 using Scheme GPT and Tiger on partition #2 using Apple Partitioning Map? (2) Would classic work booting from partition #2 with Tiger? Thanks, Bob

The answer is no classic is not supported on Intel Macs reguardless.

There is however other classic emulators that you can download.

Install iTunes 10.7 over iTunes 11?

greetings,
my question is:
how does one install iTunes 10.7 over iTunes 11 if one has iTunes 10.7.dmg?
here's where i am now:
this mac has OSX 10.7.5. i tried iTunes 11 a month ago on an older mac that i'm getting rid of. it has a bad bug and doesn't work right with my 120Gig iPod. so i can't use it. haven't had time to report the bug yet, but it's on my list to do...
somehow iTunes 11 showed up on my work MBPro yesterday without running software updater. i always decline installing iTunes 11. i used iTunes 10.7 tues night. and last night (wed) when i plugged in my iPod, i got the new software license screen "accept/decline" etc. i checked get info on iTunes in /Applications, and sure enough, it shows version 11.0.1 and a modificaiton date of wed morning (?). i was in meetings most of the day and software NEVER ran... but i digress...
regardless of how this happened, i'm trying to fix this and reinstall the previous version...
i found and downloaded iTunes 10.7 installer on apple's website. but when i run the installer, i get a message "iTunes can't be installed on this computer because a newer version is already installed"... never seen this before...
so i tried deleted iTunes 11.0.1, and get a message "iTunes can't be modifed or deleted because it is required by OSX"! ??
i've never seen this before either.
so i assumed i need to boot from an external drive so that i can delete iTunes... we have no "boot" dvd anymore. but i have an exteral drive with the complete OS and various utilites so that i can boot from an external disc in case i can't boot from the internal drive or need to run a utility like diskwarrior... but my company has forced a third party disc encryption software. so this prevents me from mounting the internal drive when i've booted from my external drive. there goes all of my repair and recovery tools, but i digress...
this is a new MBPro. it took me forever to configure and get software installed because of the shenanigans of the companies IT department and the lack of physical media from Apple and other software vendors. i just finished the same day i had to leave on a trip.
so i'm trying to figure out how to install iTunes 10.7 if iTunes 11 is already installed.
i'd appreciate any suggestions.

ok, found a way to delete iTunes from terminal
sudo -rf /Applications/iTunes
then i can run the installer for iTunes 10.7...
