Leopard and 1. Ghz G5?

Here are the specs on my G5:
Machine Name: Power Mac G5
Machine Model: PowerMac9,1
CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (3.0)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.8 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 2.25 GB
Bus Speed: 600 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 5.2.2f1
Can I install Leopard? Will it run OK? The G5 does not have a dual layer drive. I want to upgrade the Macbook Pro and thought I might as well purchase a multiple license and upgrade the G5. However, I don't want to buy the multiple license and find out that I can't install it.
If it is installable, do I need to do a firmware upgrade? Any help is appreciated.

Hi Rick Wilson;
I used the Upgrade to install Leopard on my PowerMac G5 Quad. All of my applications and data did not have to be reinstalled.
Having said all of that I still recommend that you clone your system disk. I did that and I didn't need it. But just knowing that I could get back to my old system that worked for so lone gave me warm fuzzy feelings. There are so many things that can go wrong that doing an upgrade without a clone is asking for trouble.

  • Greetings: I have just acquired an older mini mac (2006 1.66 ghz core 2 duo) Anyway, it had Tiger 10.4 on it and the Bluetooth worked.  I upgraded to Snow Leopard and everything works fine - except Bluetooth. The Bluetooth icon isn't there. Any ideas?

    Greetings:
    I have just acquired an older mini mac (2006 1.66 ghz core 2 duo) Anyway, it had Tiger 10.4 on it and the Bluetooth worked for the wireless Apple keyboard and mouse.  I upgraded to Snow Leopard and everything works fine - everything except Bluetooth.
    The Bluetooth icon does not exist in the System Preferenc screen.
    I tried to download Bluetooth from Apple site but the message I got told me that I didn't need it. 
    Under Finder, Utilities, I found Bluetooth File Exchange but the message I got was that I had to connect a Bluetooth device to my computer.
    I have to admit that I have no idea what's going on here.  I am hoping to avert the need to try another complete re-install of Snow Leopard.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Puzzled is a polite word for it.
    Thanks Barry - I found the file and trie to send it to trash.  The response: (This item cannot be trashed as it it owned by the system).
    After dancing around with PRAM and SMC and turning on while holding the power-cntrl-option-shift and heavens knows what else, I now have the Bluetooth symbol on the top of the menu bar but it is ghoseted and has a squiggly line through it.   This, I didn't have before so I read this as some progress.  It notes that "Bluetooth is not available">
    However, the Bluetooth icon is still missing from the System Preferences window - you know, between "network" and "sharing".
    You note that you reckon the issue is not software based and you may be correct.  The reason that I wonder about that though, is that before I installed Snow Leopard, the keyboard and mouse both paired with the box under the Tiger 10.4.  That leads me to conclude that hardware is functional and that there is some screwy little bit of software that is not cooperating.
    If I could delete Bluetooth from the system and re-install a fresh version, that might help.  Or, is there a way I can use the Snow Leopard install disc and only load in Bluetooth?
    I'm stumped.
    Thanks for your time

  • I recently updated? to Lion from 10.6.8(snow leopard), and things seem to be running slower.  Has anyone had similar problems?  I have Feb 2011 Macbook pro 13" 2.3 Ghz.

    I recently updated? to Lion from 10.6.8(snow leopard), and things seem to be running slower.  Has anyone had similar problems?  I have Feb 2011 Macbook pro 13" 2.3 Ghz.

    As Shootist pointed out, the system uses more power.
    However, initially it will reindex the hard drive for spotlight, which will slow things down temporarily.
    It also must rebuild caches that eventually will speed things up.
    If it has completed indexing the hard drive (no dot pulsing in the spyglass), then there might be something wrong.
    Start by booting into the Recovery HD (a partition created with Lion that has Disk Utility and reinstallation options) by holding down cmd-r when you restart. You can let go when the gray screen appears.
    When it boots, select Disk Utility and Repair the drive.
    If that doesn't speed things up, try re-installing the OS from the same Recovery HD. It won't delete any of your files, but it has helped some people whose Macs ran slow after installing Lion.
    Also, how much memory do you have? Lion needs RAM so maxing your Mac out might also help.

  • Hello friends!I use mac book(2.4 GHz intel core 2 duo).is it worth updating to snow leopard and then lion?if so how to do so?

    Hello  I use mac book 2.4 GHz intel core 2 duo.Is it worth updating to latest version like snow leopard and then Lion or buying new mac air?
    regards
    Clayton.

    Well, it depends on what you expect it to do and if it works as expected - it that answer is yes, I'd say make sure you max out the RAM (I've noticed Snow Leopard needs more). Doing it this way gives you a machine which will run 2 different OS versions - on the other hand, depending on when you'd buy the MBA, you may only be able to run Lion (unless you buy that quickly as well while they still come with SL).

    Until I installed the SMC FanControl application my screen would "break up" into strange patterns and then would eventually freeze.  Please help.

    If you are trying to upgrade using a gray-faced OS X disk from another system, that won't work, as those disks are locked to the system types they are delivered with. You'll need to drop the $29 on a retail copy of Snow Leopard, which is available from the Apple online store. Note Snow Leopard requires 1GB minimum, and you may want at least 2GB for better performance.

  • Is there a final verdict on Leopard and eMacs?? (1.42 ghz versions)

    I've read nearly every upgrade post here about Leopard and eMacs and for the life of me I don't get the impression that there is a correct answer on this upgrade. It seems that the eMac is too close to the minimum requirements to run Leopard with any degree of comfort. True? Not many success stories here.

    I have a 1.25 GHz version. I was running 10.3 and started to get frustrated with some web sites not working on the older version of Safari. Also some of the recent upgrades to adobe etc weren't supported by 10.3. As a short fix I downloaded the Camino browser. This solved a lot of the surfing problems. I finally decided to bite the bullet and bought the Mac Box set of Leopard, iLife '09 and iWork '09.
    At the risk of sounding negative I have had nothing but problems since. This may all be down to my own incompetence (I am not technically minded) or down to the fact that my eMac is reaching the end of it's days. Either way I am now facing up to the fact that I may have to go and buy another computer. I've had problems with Mail (I now know this to be a known problem, see forums for fix). A kernal panic, resulting in an erase and reinstall. I am now suffering from very slow performance across all applications with more spinning beach ball than I've ever witnessed. I've scoured the forums for help and have tried everything within my limited technical ability. Repaired disk and permissions, ran the hardware test, created a new user, checked activity monitor. My hard disk is less than 50% utilised and I have 1 GB of RAM. All very disappointing. I was hoping that Leopard would blow the rest of my family away and that I would be in a good position to pitch for a new Mac! Now I'm not so sure.
    I apologise for such a disappointing post and I hope you have better luck!

  • Help - upgrading from Tiger to Snow Leopard AND new larger hard drive, MBP

    Howdy!
    My iPhone has finally demanded that I upgrade my MBP from Tiger. And as if by coincidence, my now puny 100GB internal drive is packed full with less than a gig free most of the time. (10% free is the MINIMUM free allowance, I know!!) I run old copies of Adobe CS2, Quark, Quickbooks, Microsoft Office... would love to keep them working without purchasing upgrades, but probably isn't a realistic hope. None of it is mission critical at this point.
    So I've purchased the $29 Snow Leopard DVD (from a reseller - it says CPU Drop-In DVD Version 10.6 on the disk), and a new 750GB internal drive (same reseller - The drive is a 2.5" SATA 5400RPM 8MB-Buffer Hard Drive (9MM Slim) (RoHS Green Friendly)), to get with the times.
    My other resources include:
    - two 1TB LaCie external drives with FW and USB2 ports
    - one other LaCie external drive - I think 360GB?
    - Retrospect 5.0 (most of my backups are encrypted Retrospect files on those three LaCie external drives, but there's some room on them)
    - a $22 USB 2.0 to SATA/IDE adapter with AC power, to access whatever laptop drive might be without an enclosure temporarily
    - a copy of Carbon Copy Cloner software
    - I just ordered an upgrade to my ancient (OS9) copy of DiskWarrior
    - A monster UPS battery backup and line conditioner that everything plugs into for this process
    It has been a long time since I've DIY'd any undertaking this complex, and I'm looking for advice on what to do first, how to go about this.
    Here's my setup:
    Model Name: MacBook Pro 15"
    Model Identifier: MacBookPro1,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache (per processor): 2 MB
    Memory: 2 GB
    Bus Speed: 667 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: MBP11.0055.B08
    SMC Version: 1.2f10
    I'm guessing I should do it like this, PLEASE EDIT or make suggestions or tell me what I forgot to do before I do it!!
    1. Back up everything to at least two external locations! Also, make a bootable copy of my current internal drive in its own volume, to at least one external drive that is formatted in HFS+ GUID partition style, with Carbon Copy Cloner (would Retrospect work well for this instead?).
    2. Free up at least 20GB on the current internal drive (100GB). Hopefully 30GB.
    3. Run Disk Utility on the current internal drive. Fix any problems. (Should I hit it with DiskWarrior instead?)
    4. Format the new 750GB drive to HFS+, GUID partitions. (How long will that take? Can I do it with the USB-SATA cable adapter, sitting on my desk, or does it have to be in an enclosure? The adapter has AC power)
    5. Run Disk Utility (or DiskWarrior?) on the new internal drive in its temporarily external position. Fix any problems.
    6. Boot off the Snow Leopard CPU Drop-In DVD and install onto both drives. (Will this version of the DVD I have wipe all files when it installs to a disk???)
    7. See how they run. Boot off the old 100GB internal drive, boot off the new to-be-internal 750GB drive. Panic if it's not going well.
    8. If the current internal 100GB drive is rocking Snow Leopard and my familiar files and apps seem somewhat functional, use Carbon Copy Cloner to recreate the volume on the new larger drive. Then swap the drives physically. (Links to good step-by-step instructions on this part would be much appreciated here!!)
    9. If the Snow Leopard DVD overwrote or snuffed out my familiar files and apps on the old internal drive, sigh deeply, then swap the drives physically. Use CCC (or Retrospect? or Migration Assistant?) to fetch my junk from the old internal drive's backup and plunk it on the new bigger internal drive (now installed).
    10. See how it runs. Shake my fist at the sky over the planned obsolescence of technology paired with the seductive power of my iPhone. Grumpily upgrade the software that I actually create income with.
    Please help! I am just faking it here based on a few message boards I've read. Will this actually work properly?
    Thanks!

    Howdy slowpoke43, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Please help! I am just faking it here based on a few message boards I've read. Will this actually work properly?
    LOL, if your faking it you're the best!
    1. Yes, absolutely... no CCC would be best in my experience/opinion.
    2. Yes, the more he better... Free Space is no longer our Free Space, but OSX's.
    3. Indeed, & if you have the correct version of DW, do that.
    4. Yes, not long, A/C power is great.
    How to format your disks...
    http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/partitioningtiger.html
    (To Install OSX on an IntelMac the Drive it needs the GUID Partitioning scheme mentioned at the bottom.)
    Thanks to Pondini, Formatting,  Partitioning, Verifying,  and  Repairing  Disks...
    http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html
    6. Yes, boot off the 10.6 DVD, & no Snow Leopard does by default what we used to call an Archive & Install, saves & updates all your info, APPs, Music, etc., it may quarantine a few things or not but will tell you.
    7. Absolutely, but Panic won't be needed with your great preparation & Bootable Backups!
    8. Not quite sure I understand, but run SL for a few days before you do anything.
    9. Yeah, but again with you doing everything right from the gitgo, I can't picture that happening.
    10. Yes indeed, the hangup with yours is that it only holds 2GB of RAM... a pain in 10.5 & up IME.
    Again let me say... GONGRATS, I've never ever seen anybody so well prepared & informed despite your diffidence!

  • Mid 2009 macbook pro (10.7.2)- can i install leopard and lion on partitions?

    Hello,
    I have just bought a refurbished macbook pro and want to install 10.5 leopard on a partition of the hard drive so that I can run my original software that I use on my 2008 Imac (eg Protools 7.4 which would cost hundreds to upgrade as protools 7.4 won't work with snow leopard and protools 8 that would work with snow leopard won't work with my original mbox so would have to buy a new mbox/protools!). The disc 10.5 (leopard) disc that came with my 2008 Imac doesn't work with my macbook pro but would another Macbook pro specific disc work?
    Thanks in advance!!
    Specs-
    15 INCH, MID 2009 MACBOOK PRO
    Processor  2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74)

    That machine should have shipped with Leopard, so yes you can install Leopard on a separate partition. However, you will need the original install disk to do so...they are model specific, and you can only obtain these through AppleCare. Call them & see if they will ship you such...there will be a small fee.

  • Dual Boot with Snow Leopard and Mavericks not possible?

    I have a Early 2011 Macbook Pro with 2,3 GHz i7 Quad and two 512 GB SSDs (the secondary disk in an optical drive bay enclosure). This Macbook Pro can run Snow Leopard and Mavericks on the primary disk without problems. When I try to set up a dual boot system however, problems appear and it looks like it is not possible. When I start from Snow Leopard, I cannot select Mavericks as a start volume and vice versa. The error message says something like "Bless tool" cannot use this disk, i.e. unmount and boot from it. The problem remains when I exchange the disks (putting the primary disk in the drive enclosure and vice versa). When I put the secondary drive in an external case however, it is possible to boot from it -  but strange things happen when the system starts: My computer clock is reset to 1/1/2001, WiFI passwords are not remembered for more than one session, disk permissions are reported as "repaired" but do apear as not repaired when I check them again - and other issues). I have verified both disks already and repaired permissions but that does not change the situation. So my experience is different from what is said in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/566781. It looks like the latest Mavericks cannot coexist with Snow Leopard on neiter a secondary internal drive nor on an external drive. This is strange since both disks and systems work flawless when run alone. Any suggestions to solve this problem?

    When I check the Mavericks disk in the optical drive with disk utility after booting / running Snow Leopard on the primary disk I get som errors, see below ("disk utility Info"). So after all, I decided to erase the disk and install Mavericks new. But even erasing the disk is not possible when it is in the optical drive enclosure. I get this error message:
    "Volume Erase failed with the error:
    Could not unmount disk"
    When I put this disk into an external case connected via USB however, it starts and runds MAvericks without any Problem. Same happens when I put thie Mavericks disk into the internal primary hard disk place.

  • Mouse skipping- Wired and wireless, Snow Leopard and Lion

    We purchased a new Mac Pro last year and from the beginning have had issues with the mouse skipping around while in use. Issue is intermittent. Exists whether using wired or wireless mouse and present in both of the two user profiles that we have set up. Initially we were running Snow Leopard, and now have upgraded to Lion - which hasn't made any difference. All updates have been installed.
    I've tried resetting the SMC, PRAM and trashing preferences. Hardward test resulted with: 4VDC/1/40000003: VideoController 
    Could an issue with the video controller be causing this?
    I've read a lot of discussions with various mouse issues that are similar - yet no clear resolutions.
    HEEEEEEELLLLLLLLP!
    Specs:
    Mac Pro - Mid 2010
    3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    16 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 EEC
    ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)

    I plan to definitely have that checked out - but the machine is currently in high demand and if that is not related to the mouse issue, it will be tough to take it out of service at the time.
    Do you have any idea if the video controller issue could cause this mouse issue?
    Thanks for the comment.

  • Leopard and Power PC

    If I have a power pc g5 tower and looking to buy leopard...how do i go about buying the cd version of it?
    Is it possible to do it online?
    And then can i get the intel version as well without paying for the OS twice, or do i have to?
    Thank you to whoever can help me with this.

    Hi Gulliver --
    I wandered in to the forum and stumbled onto your response. I am looking to determine whether my G4 Power PC is compatible with Leopard. I have the G4 Power PC laptop. Its CPU speed is 1.25 GHz. The bus speed is 187 MHz. Is my laptop compatible with Leopard? Apple's tech specs, I think, indicate to me that Leopard and my laptop are compatible. Here's how I figured it: my 1.25 GHZ CPU speed equals 1,250 MHz. 1,250 MHz exceeds the required 867 MHz. Bus speed doesn't matter. Have I made the correct calculations? Thanks.

  • I want to upgrade leopard os 10.5.8 to snow leopard and then maybe to lion. Where can I buy a sow leopard disk?

    Help,
    I have a MacBook Pro and would like to upgrade the OS.
    My system is 2-3 years old and came with Leopard -
    It is up to date with Version 10.5.8 and has a 2.5 GHZ Intel Core 2 duo processor
    I have 4GB  667MHZ DDR2 SDRAM memory.
    I want to update to Snow Leopard and then maybe Lion.....
    It appears my systems is to old to update online. So where can I buy a Snow Leopard disk/s. My local Best Buy does not carry the disk update anymore. Where can I get the disk?
    Not to happy with my MAC right now ............. It seems to be poorly supported by APPLE.  Am I missing something   ?

    You apparently missed my response.
    It can also be found by entering "Store" under the Apple home page, and typing "snow leopard" in the search window.

  • Snow Leopard and Motion 4 even work together.

    Upgraded to snow leopard last week and every application in Final Cut Studio 3 works great except Motion 4 which crashes on the launch. I did download the latest prosupport pkg as well.

    You can't just reinstall Final Cut Studio over the top. You need to remove it completely and then reinstall it. ProKit uses different files on Leopard and Snow Leopard.

  • Can I install Leopard and iLife 09, but keep iPhoto 05

    Hi,
    I've tried looking for this answer and have come up empty. Can anyone tell me if I could upgrade my system to Leopard and iLife 09, but keep certain iLife 05 programs like iPhoto 05 and iMovie HD? The new box set is a good deal, but the new versions of those two programs sound worse than the old ones. iPhoto 09 seem to be a space hog with multiple copies of every picture, and iMovie 09 won't even run on my processor speed. I was also worried that iLife 09 programs might be too powerful for my older Mac and hang it up, but iLife 05 would be unsupported on Leopard and also get hung up. Anyone have any thoughts on this subject?
    Thanks,
    Ed

    iPhoto 09 seem to be a space hog with multiple copies of every picture
    iPhoto '09 keeps no copies - it will, just like iPhoto 5, have either two or three versions of a photo - the original, a thumbnail and if required a modified version
    For this you get non destructive editing and always have the ability to revert to the original (the digital negative)
    iPhoto '09 does take a lot of CPU resource - I have a 2.1 GHz G5 and it does bog down from time to time (the 8.0.3 upgrade made this much worse - I'm hoping that 8.0.4 or what ever improves the CPU needs)
    And the feature set of iPhoto '09 is amazing compared to iPhoto 5 -- unless you have a memory shortage, or a disk shortage I would expect your 1.8 GHz G5 to handle iPhoto '09 acceptably - I've seen no one say it is worse that iPhoto 5 or 6 - an very, very, very few people have gone back to '08 (the report - I suspect that they stick with '09 for the most part since it does so much more)
    Just the new format books with laminated photo covers and photo dust covers are reason enough to upgrade for me (and lots of others) - samples of the new book layouts can be seen at Liz Castro's web site - http://www.lizcastro.com/iphotobookthemes/
