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 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?

Running two displays from MBP Retina under windows

I'm looking at purchasing a MBP Retina 13". I have two external monitors that can accept HDMI and DVI (neither can do displayport). Some software that I run requires me to sometimes boot into windows. Under windows 7, can I output a DVI signal from each of my thunderbolt ports? Do I just need to run two mini-displayport to DVI adapters? Or is not that simple? (both external monitors are 1900x1080)

Hi,
read the documentation:
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/to_pdf?pathname=install.112/e24169.pdf
and you will find multiple errors, you probably did.
Especially the part on preparing storage.

Is it possible to run OS in 1440x900 on retina display?

As in the subject - is it possible to kick off OS X to run as if the display was not retina at all?
Thanks in advance.

By default, the OS treats the screen as a 1440x900 display with pixel-doubling (That is, where a normal screen would have one pixel, the Retina will display two across and two down).
You can change the effective screen resolution to one of five settings:
1024x640
1280x800
1440x900 (the default)
1680x1050
1920x1200
The OS does not natively allow the user to render at the full 2800x1800 resolution.

Is it possible to run both Yosemite 10.10.2 and OS X Tiger in Mac Pro?

Is it possible to run both Yosemite 10.10.2 and OS X Tiger in Mac Pro?

Not with a hack.
Only the 2006 and be the 2007 shipped with Tiger. See;
Mac OS X versions (builds) for computers - Apple Support
However, for ML and later on a 2006/2007 you need a hack

HT1338 Older Mac running Tiger 10.4.11. and Flash no longer works. Upgraded version installed and left me without any Flash support at all??

I recently attempted to upload the latest FLASH PLAYER. My older Mac (G4) works wonderfully as a desktop computer, so I NEED a flash player
badly, but now it says that Adobe no longer supports older Mac Power PCs! What's up with that?? Some of the best and most desirable computers
ever made are of no interest to Adobe?
I there a work-around to eliminate the need for Adobe's Flash Player?? Another Flash version......can you say Macromedia? HELP

You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 is for Snow Leopard onwards.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.
But possibly that only works with Leopard.

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

Can I Install iLife '08 onto a PB G4 running Tiger?

In our family, we just bought a new MacBook, which came with the 2 gray MacBook Mac OS X Install Discs (Leopard). Once the OS is loaded on a new MacBook, it of course, includes the new iLife '08.
I have an older PowerBook G4 running Tiger (10.4.11) and would love to be able to use the new iPhoto '08, as the version I have installed on my computer is iLife '04.
Is it possible to install only the iLife '08 applications, or even only 1 or two of them, from the MacBook OS X install discs onto my PowerBook G4 running Tiger? I do not want to install Leopard or a whole new OS, only the iLife applications.
If this is possible, where do I find just those specific applications and how do I install them?
And, would the install process simply write over the iLife '04 applications already on my hard drive or do some preliminary step have to be taken first?
I am grateful for any answers or suggestions on what's possible here.

iLife '08 will work on your PB provided you have 10.4.9 or later installed and your processor is at least 733 MHz. iMovie requires a G5 processor or better so it will not work on your PB. You also need a minimum of 512 MBs of RAM.
However, it is illegal to install the software on more than one CPU at a time. You need to purchase an additional copy of iLife '08 to install it on your PB or remove it from the other computer.

Installing Snow Leopard on a MacBook that is currently running Tiger

Is it possible to install Snow Leopard on my MacBook that is currently running Tiger? I have heard rumors that Leopard must be installed before Snow Leopard will work. I bought a white MacBook about three and a half years ago with Tiger installed.

1. The Snow Leopard installer itself runs the equivalent of Disk Utility's verify disk step on the volume selected for the install, so while this remains a good idea when upgrading to Leopard or other previous OS versions, doing it as a separate pre-install step is not necessary or likely to improve anything when upgrading to Snow Leopard.
In this respect the installer is quite finicky: if the volume doesn't pass verification, it will refuse to begin the install.
2. Aside from that, the installer is only finicky about two other things regarding format: (a) the drive must be formatted with the GPT (GUID Partition Table) partition scheme (the scheme the drives of all Intel Macs ship with) & (b) the table must conform to the standard GPT format. If the drive doesn't meet these criteria, the installer marks any volumes on it as not suitable for the install & users can't select them.
3. Some users seem unaware of just how different the Snow Leopard installer is from the earlier ones. When Apple talks about streamlining it in the product's blurb, it refers to much more than just eliminating the old Archive & Install and Erase & Install options, notably:
• Unlike the old Upgrade option, SL's version completely replaces the existing OS component files with the ones from the installer's 'payload.' (The old Upgrade option just replaced or patched components that had been changed for that OS version.) This is why the single provided option is equally suitable for a volume that contains an existing OS or an empty one. (It's also why upgrading from Leopard or Tiger works essentially the same way.)
• The new installer doesn't create a "Previous Systems" folder like the old Archive & Install did. There is no reason for this largely redundant folder anymore, since the new installer selectively leaves in place user-added items from the old system folders that they previously had to move back into those folders manually if they wanted to restore their functionality. However, if the "Previous Systems" folder exists because a user did an A&I with an older OS installer, the new one leaves it in place. But since the new OS ignores it, just as previous ones did, this has no effect on OS operation.
• If -- but only if -- users start the install process by launching the "Install Mac OS X" pre-install application while running from an installed OS, that app will use the installed OS's network settings to 'phone home' to Apple's database of software known to be incompatible with Snow Leopard & use that info to decide what if anything to move to a root level "Incompatible Software" folder during the install. The DVD has its own short list, but since that list was created before the DVD was made, it is now out-of-date & incomplete. Thus, it is always a good idea to start the install this way when possible, just as Apple recommends.
• Other minor refinements that only work if there is an existing OS include automatically deciding if Rosetta or Quicktime Player 7 should be installed, automatic language selection for the install process, & enabling the 'install drivers only for local & nearby printers' option. Each of these depends in some way on what's already installed.
4. All these refinements do not make the new installer 100% reliable but they eliminate the most common problems users had with the older ones, especially if they follow Apple's instructions & *do not* erase the drive beforehand. Just as the Installation Guide included on the disc (also available online here) says in the "Advice about installing" section, erasing the drive should be reserved for the rare times when the normal method fails.

I have a problem, i bought lion but when i want to install he said me i need to "download osx lion server" i'm running with the last lion beta. how to update please?

ps: sorry for my english :S

You apparently are using a version of OS X you did not purchase using your Apple ID. Although you can download Mavericks you cannot install it over your current system. You must repartition your hard drive, then reinstall the version of OS X originally installed when it came new from the factory. That would be on the installer discs that should have come with the computer. If the computer did not come with discs from the factory but OS X was pre-installed (Lion or Mountain Lion) then you can perform an Internet Recovery:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your external 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. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Is it possible to run all OS and programs on Mountain Lion?

Greetings!
I have set myself the following challenge and wondered if it was technically possible to do the following:-
On a single mid-2012 MacBook Pro (with optical drive built in) running OS 10.8.5 as the main OS and obviously totally within the law of my country I would like the ability to run:
§ Power PC applications;
§ All Mountain Lion programs;
§ Any Linux program;
§ Windows 7 or later;
Note 1: I have already purchased Mac OS Snow Leopard Server and await it's delivery…
Note 2: I am happy to buy an OEM copy of Microsoft Windows…
Note 3: Microsoft Windows is sadly a necessity due to my University not supporting anything else for it's specialist software which I require for my studies.
Note 4: I would use Ubuntu Linux
Note 5: I have absolutely no desire to ever run Mavericks at all…
Thus, I would like my MacBook Pro to simply run any program I care to use, is this realistically possible?
Please accept my apologies if this is posted in the wrong section, I was a little unsure in which community to post this.
Thank you in advance,
CK

Thank you,
I shall do just that, as soon as I've purchased an OEM of Microsoft Windows…
Is there anything I should be aware of, other than to keep a back up of everything before I start, please?

Can't copy itunes songs from macbook running tiger to iphone

My Daughter just got an iPhone and wants to copy the songs she purchased on Itunes from her macbook to the iPhone to listen to and use as ringtones. The macbook is currently running tiger OS X 10.4.11. She said that once she plugged her iPhone into the macbook and brought up iTunes, she received a message that she needed to upgrade her current iTunes to "iTunes version 10.1". She then went to the apple website and clicked "download iTunes 10.1" and after clicking "install" got another message saying "Couldn't open 'Install iTunes.pkg'. This package type requires Mac OS X 10.5." Does anyone know of a possible workaround other than buying a new operating system?

If your computer meets the requirements for Snow Leopard, you can purchase the $29 upgrade disk & go straight to SL:
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Otherwise, you'd need a retail copy of Leopard.
This link is useful if you can go to SL:

Have old MacBook Pro running tiger 10.4 want to save date to external hard drive and buy newer MacBook and still use same drive. Any suggestions, most WD drives say nothing about os tiger 10.4.

Have old MacBook Pro running tiger 10.4 want to save date to external hard drive and buy newer MacBook and still use same drive. Any suggestions, most WD drives say nothing about os tiger 10.4. The OS compatibility is much newer on the data. Totally confused. Not a computer person.

I haven't checked reviews recently but there's a difference between bare drives and drives with enclosures. Western Digital made some of the most reliable drives last time I checked, though the enclosures weren't all that great. It is convenient to get both in one package but I usually buy a highly rated enclosure and then put a highly rated drive in it myself. OWC sells some good enclosures but if they put a so-so drive inside of it then the package is only as good as its weakest component. If you get a package from them, ask them what drive is inside (some vendors have no idea what's inside - went to an Apple Store recently and they couldn't tell me what was inside some of their Apple brand enclosures). My first thought if buying a new drive would be to buy a OWC enclosure with a WD drive, but chek around because I may be out of date.
10 years ago Seagate was one of the best drives. Now they rate poorly in reviews.

Running Tiger instead of Windows

Sounds like Leopard wasn't quite ready for prime time. Thats cool, our collective headaches will help Apple iron out the bugs. um, you know how you can run windows with bootcamp, would it be possible to chuck Tiger on instead. So you can get used too/figure how to tame the Leopard while still have a functioning machine.

"Can I install tiger on my new 975 pc now"
No. Mac OS runs only on Apple hardware.
"is this a strange question? "
Strange? No. But one that's been asked and answered on these forums hundreds of times, and which you could have gotten the answer to yourself by searching before posting...yes.
