Is it possible to run in Tiger if Leopard is installed?

Logic Express 7 isn't running right in Leopard b/c my audio device doesn't have drivers for Leopard, but it ran great in Tiger. IS there any way to boot in Tiger instead of Leopard. I remember being able to boot in OS 9 at school after OSX was released b/c Protools free woudln't run in OSX, but i wasn't sure if you could go back in versions of X. I hope so. Any help?

In general, to partition a drive, you start Disk Utility, select the drive you want to partition (the upper icon with the drive model), click on the partition tab, select the Volume scheme i.e number of the partitions (in your case that would be 2), select the format (Mac Extended journaled for you) and in options select the partition map scheme (GUID for intel macs and Apple partition map for PPC). You can also adjust the relative size of the partitions by dragging the divider between them. When all this is set, click "apply".
In your case there is a twist. You'll be partitioning your start up drive which can't be done when you are booted from it. Therefore, you need to boot from the leopard (or tiger) install DVD. Once past the language screen, go to Utilities->disk Utility and proceed from there. You'll need to back up your data because I think it will be erased in the partitioning process.
Once you have your internal drive partitioned in two, you can install Tiger on one half and leopard on the other.

Is it possible to run Osx tiger

Can an intel iMac run OSX Tiger from an external hard drive?

Hi can anyone please tell me if it is possible to run OSX Tiger from an external hard drive on an Intel iMac running OSX 10.5 Leopard or later?
Or is it possible to partition the intel iMac's hard drive and add Tiger?
At the moment I am running Tiger on a partitioned hard drive shared with OSX Leopard and wish to upgrade to an intel Mac. I need tiger to run some software not compatible with newer Macs and also to access OS9 Classic. Thanx for your help.

IF you upgraded from Panther as you know you do not have an Intel based iMac. I beleive the limit of your upgrades on your current machine is going to be Leopard. The system requirements for Snow Leopard are:
General requirements
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply
This is straight from Apple so yes if you want to go beyond Leopard then you must purchase a new machine. My suggestion would be to begin replacing your legacy apps, you are extremely far behind and the longer you wait the more painful it will be to get current.
Good luck.

Can I run Tiger and Leopard on the same computer

Hi folks.
I've been meaning to install Leopard for ages but have never got round to it (I bought the retail box when it first came out). I have upgraded my RAM to 2GB and my hard drive to 320GB with no problems.
My upgraded hard drive has been partitioned into 2 equal parts of 160GB. These appear on desktop as Mackintosh HD1 and HD2. HD1 is the disk with all my files, music, OS etc and HD2 is empty
I have 2 bootable clones of my present system - one is on a 160GB external and the other is the original 80GB HD that I replaced.
My question is this - can I install Leopard on to my 160GB external HD, then clone it on to the empty HD2. If I do this would I be able to run both Tiger and Leopard on the same Macbook?
Is there any problems with this plan? Would I be able to transfer between the 2 OS and how do I install Leopard on the external drive. Is it just a case of inserting the Leopard DVD and choose the external drive as the target?
As usual thanks in advance

# Original Tiger in the internal HD, New Leopard in the external HD.
# New Leopard in the internal, Legacy cloned Tiger in the external.
# Split internal, one partition with Tiger, another with Leopard.
Leopard is backwardly compatible with older Macs, just make sure yours fulfills the minimum system requirements, both use the same filesystem format, so each can see the other. You can't run both at the same time, unless you purchase the server version of Leopard and run it virtualized. 99.9% of Firewire external HD's are bootable, some USB's are bootable but have to test first. You can choose which system to boot from by pressing the Option key at boot time, before the chime. Just make sure the external HDD is plugged in and turned on if that's where you want to boot from.
When I migrated my PBG4 from Panther to Tiger, got an external FW HDD, cloned Panther onto it, upgraded using Archive and Install, cleaned up, customized and tested it. When I was satisfied all was ok, cloned the original Panther onto another partition of the external HDD, wiped and tested for failure the internal HDD, then cloned the known good and tested Tiger into it. Only thing that died along the way was my old and ancient Photoshop v2.x, that refused to run on Tiger.

Does the PowerBook run better on Tiger or Leopard?

I have been running my PowerBook on Leopard. I've been noticing it getting slower doing Internet, iWeb, iWork and other programs. I'm wondering if I should switch it to Tiger. Or is there a double boot I can run so I can run both Tiger and Leopard?
Thanks

Hi,
Depends.. I have the last model PowerBook G4 1.67 W/ the hi-res display. It has DDR2 memory and one modification I just completed was added a PATA Legacy SSD drive and this thing flies!! Bear this in mind that the only reason I have a PowerBook G4 is because I have no use for an intel laptop, as I have a 2010 mac pro 6-core and a Gateway P-6860fx + a G4 Pismo(well, upgraded G3).
I was just in the Apple store tonight and took a look at the new macbook pros. My only hope is that Thunderbolt will be a PCIe drop in for current and past mac pros(2010.2009.2008).
I am typing this on a G4 PowerBook as we speak
If you have 150.00, get a 120GB or smaller SSD - You will be glad you did,. Leopard runs very well on this laptop. Again, I can't speak for your laptop, but for the last models of the G4 powerbooks - mine runs Leopard very nicely!
And yes, through HTML5 and quicktime codecs, I can play HD 720 and barely 1080p on this and thats without flash! HTML5 is breathing new life into the PowerPC.
I love both platforms.. I am not an intel fanboi.

"Moving" Tiger and Leopard OS's from G4 (32b) to G5 (64b)

I plan to image Tiger (10.4) and Leopard (10.5) from my Power Mac G4 (Quicksilver 2002) to a recently acquired a Power Mac G5 (Early 2005). My questions are:
1. Tiger and Leopard were installed on a G4, a 32 bit processor, but the G5 is a 64 bit processor. Do I need to do anything after I’ve “installed” the G4 Tiger and Leopard on the G5 to have them function as 64 bit Operating Systems (a.they can detect which processor they are installed on automagically and don’t need my intervention OR b.I have to toggle something OR c.I have to reinstall one/both of the Operating Systems on the G5 for them to function as 64 bit Operating Systems)?
2. How can I tell if the OS is running as a 32 bit or 64 bit process?
TIA.

Hi Barubin,
I'm no expert on OS X's internals, but I believe Tiger and Leopard's kernel still is 32-Bit, but allows 32-64-bit bridging. In Leopard's Activity Monitor I can only find two apps running in 64-Bit mode:
usbmuxd
IIDCAssistant
The best way of getting 64-Bit is to upgrade to Snow Leopard on Intel, I'm afraid.
Your target-disk method or BDAqua's suggestions should work just fine, but I usually find hdiutil to be generally more reliable, plus I can keep around a system image for safety's sake. When I say reliable, I mean that you can always interrupt the image creation by using CTRL-C or check whether it is actually throwing any errors. The GUI has hung on me on occasions. I also love UNIX, which helps!
I've never done a speed comparison between Disk Utility and its CLI counterparts, but I like the verbosity/flexibility provided by the CLI. It's a matter of taste, really. If you're not comfortable using the CLI, stick to the other options.
The purpose of asr -imagescan (asr stands for Apple Software Restore), is to rebuild the target image and replace it with a checksummed and reordered (optimised) version, so it can then be verified against the contents of your target volume after you're restored the data. Also, scanning the image allows you to do a block restore, which is effectively a blazingly fast blind copy. In a matter of minutes you can easily restore 15 GB of data into your chosen volume, as opposed to not scanning it with asr or Disk Utility and the restore operation defaulting to a normal image mount --> data copy operation, which is slow and inefficient. It's a tradeoff really. You can wait for ages restoring, or creating the image
I rather wait for image creation since it's the safest and cleanest option data-wise.
Check out:
$ man asr
$ man hdiutil
I'm confident it will all work just fine with your heart transplant!
Cheers

Two identical XServes, both running 10.6 Snow leopard..

On;y one will update to 10.6.2.
The one stuck at 10.6 doesn't see the 10.6.2 update in SW Updates. I tried downloading the installer manually and it says "This volume does not meet the requirement for this update"...
Thoughts??
Thanks

Saw that on one box.
Never got to the bottom of it, but I did get past it.
Create a backup of your source Mac OS X Server bootable disk on a scratch disk accessible to the server using Disk Utility, then use DU to wipe the target system disk, and then run a (clean) Snow Leopard Server install onto the disk, and then (as one of the last steps offered within the clean Snow Leopard Server installation) migrate your previous Mac OS X Server system settings into the new environment from your external (saved) copy of your original disk.
All this can (does) use the Snow Leopard Server bootable DVD, and the disk backup that you should have around regardless of the particular upgrade.

Is it possible to run Tiger in Snow Leopard using Parallels?

Hey All,
Anyone know if it is possible to run Tiger in Snow Leopard using Parallels?
I am using SPSS 16 and it is not compatible with snow leopard. A temporary fix right now if I partitioned my hard drive and installed Leopard on some extra space to run SPSS. This is kind of annoying because I only need Leopard to use SPSS. I would rather emulate it so I can listen to iTunes and check my email in SL.
What about Panther? I think I even have a copy of Panther to install in Parallels?
I read somewhere that the EULA restricts OS X from being emulated, which seems odd for Mac users who need to test or use old software. I understand though about emulating OS X on windows machine though. I guess they need to blow off the whole foot than just cut off one toe.
Thanks for the thoughts!

From what I can tell, doing this would be, at best, of dubious legality.
Even so, the popular opinion seems to be that it would take some degree of hacking to pull off a virtual machine running OS X. I think that unless you are willing and able to undertake such a task, your best bet is to stick with a partition running an old version or wait for SPSS to be updated for Snow Leopard.
Although...... I have Parallels 4 (current version is 5) and it has an option, when setting up a new Virtual Machine, to install Mac OS X server (see image linked below). Perhaps if you could get a copy of the server edition of the OS you would have more success?

Is technically possible to run tiger on last MBP retina ?

Is technically possible to run tiger on last MBP retina ?
10.4.11 for example.

Since you are "in response to mende1" I will be interested in how mende1 answers your question...
My short answer is YES!
I was able to run Intel Tiger in VMWare Fusion 2.0 successfully on my 2009 MacBook Pro in Lion and I assume that the same could be achieved on a more modern MBP Retina.
The "long" details are:
The difficulty is that it is not an exercise for the faint of heart!
VMWare will not assist you in this project.
You have to obtain a copy of Fusion 2.0; not Fusion 4.x
Fusion 2.0, which ran on Lion on my MBP, may not run in Mt. Lion.
You have to contact the German blogger to have him open his blog to you, or otherwise give you his information, as I do not recall the steps it took to make it work. I have his email somewhere, if you are interested...
Kinda sorry now that I trashed the VM Tiger file, but since my trial period expired, I wanted to free up the disc space. It was fun to see the Tiger background again! I should have at least kept a screenshot!

Is it possible to run the Classic Environment INSIDE Rosetta on a MacBook Pro (Early 2008) with Leopard?

Hi there,
Rosetta works up until Snow Leopard. The Classic Environment works up until a late version of Tiger. Rosetta makes apps. built for PowerPC Macs work. The Classic Environment make apps. for Mac OS 9 work on Mac OS X for PowerPC Macs.
Would it consequently be possible to run the Classic Environment INSIDE Rosetta?
I have read https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2292, but I am still unconvinced unless there is a flaw to my logic. At any rate, I subscribe to the Churchillian adage of never giving in unless the forces of common sense and doctrine dictate otherwise.
If it won't work, then why?
Best Regards,
Stefan

Hi there, Klaus1, BDAqua and a brody,
Thank you ever so much for your kind replies! (I tried giving you the 10 pts. of 'Correct Answers' to each of you, but unfortunately it was only possible for Klaus1, so the points were distributed between him and BDAqua even though you were all helpful!)
My next question will naturally be: Is SheepShaver legal? My Google search didn't yield any conslusive proof that it was, nor any that it wasn't, but as the E-Maculation web page seemed quite official and above board I would assume that it is.
The next logical step would be to ask whether it's safe for both HW and SW to run SheepShaver. HW, it appears, is very rarely, if ever, affected by SW settings, so I would assume that hardwarewise, I'm good to go. Could it ruin the kernel of Mac OS X's Unix-based operating system?
Kind Regards,
Stefan

Running Tiger and Leopard togther?

I have a question and I'm not sure where to post it.
I am currently running 10.5.5 Leopard, but will be using a piece of software that requires Tiger. Is it possible to "live" partition my hard drive into a third partition (Leopard is #1, Windows via bootcamp is #2)and then change the startup disk mode to select Tiger with the install disks in the DVD (I have a legit copy...from my apple purchase)
Do I loose info? Does it ruin firmware settings for video/graphics cards, etc.?
If, instead, I create an external boot drive of Tiger, will I potentially mess up my computer with firmware stuff, etc...and ruin my Leopard installation when my computer starts in Tiger or restarts in Leopard?
I am confused. Does the firmware and other stuff get loaded each time OSX starts?
Is there another way to achieve my goal? Tiger running concurrently with Leopard but WITH LEOPARD INSTALLED IN THE MACHINE FIRST. This, after Google searches, seems to be important. Most installs describe Tiger being installed on the internal drive FIRST and Leopard installed on an external bootable drive.
Thanks for an response.

OK, now I think I've got it...and I thank you for your patience.
I have leopard on osx disk
I have bootcamp partition already on the disk with Windows
I must start disk utility, select my osx disk and add a partition by clicking the add or "+" button.
Adjust the size I wish to make each partition size.
Apply.
Now, final questions:
Why the mention of bootcamp...
because Apple doesn't recommend doing what you are about to do if the bootcamp partition is present.
is it just to allow the "option" key startup when booting?
No. that option is always there and has nothing to do with bootcamp.
or live partitioning?
no. this has nothing to do with bootcamp either.
Can I resize my windows, bootcamp partition, before I make these adjustments and additions for Tiger?
no. if you want to resize it you have to either use 3rd party software like ipartition or delete the bootcamp partition completely using bootcamp assistant and create a bigger one after that. This will of course wipe your windows installation so you'd have to reinstall windows if you do this.
I also understand that creating this partition may be permanent until I reformat a hard drive.
yes.
One last comment. make sure you have plenty (and I mean PLENTY) of free space when you do the partitioning. else the partitioning process will fail.
Thanks again for you help. And yes, my imac originally came shipped with Tiger disks and OS installed.

Is it possible to run sub vi and main vi at same time from startup?

Is it possible to run both my main vi and my two sub vi`s from startup, all of them continuously? I have to sub vi`s that are supposed to take in measurements from two different instruments continuously. I manage to make a program where I can open up and close the sub vi`s, but when my sub vi`s are closed, nothing is happening in them...and they start to run again when I open them...and I have to close them if my main VI is supposed to run. So the data in the chart is only from the periodes when the sub vi has been open.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I will send my labview programs. "Hovedprogram" is my main vi, "front" and "front 2" is my sub vi`s. I am also using global variables. I have already searched the discussion forum trying to find an answer to my problem, but I haven`t quite managed yet...
My sub vi`s are not connected to any instrument now, but I have inserted a sinewave-generator and a chart in "front"(my sub vi) so I am able to see that the sub vi actually stop running when i close the window.

Is it possible to install CS5 or CS5.5 on a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM MacBook Pro running 10.6 (Snow Leopard)?

Is it possible to install CS5 or CS5.5 on a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM MacBook Pro running 10.6 (Snow Leopard)?

Hi Carolyn, thanks for your quick reply. First thing I did before posting my question was to check the system requirements for Creative Suite, both on Apple and Adobe's websites. But I am however confused about the difference between "Multicore Intel processor" vs "Core 2 Duo", and keep hearing stories about CS5 not working properly.

Tiger and Leopard on one computer. Possible?

Hi,
I am going to purchase Leopard soon and wanted to ask this question. I have a few programs that have not been updated for Leopard and are a little old, so they probably won't receive an update. Can I:
1. Partition my hard drive and install Leopard on one and Tiger on another.
2. Install those programs on the Tiger partition and use Tiger only when I need those programs.
3. If they are updated would it be possible to delete the Tiger partition with Boot Camp and not lose any of my data.
OR
4. Would I have to use disk utility and wipe my disk and delete the partition.
Thanks for any help that you can give me.

1. Partition my hard drive and install Leopard on one and Tiger on another.
Yes.
2. Install those programs on the Tiger partition and use Tiger only when I need those programs.
Yes.
3. If they are updated would it be possible to delete the Tiger partition with Boot Camp and not lose any of my data.
No. Now if you convert Boot Camp to VMWare or Parallels it will not need to reside on a different partition from either.
Backup your data prior to installing anything*:
