Need help about upgrading!

Hiya,
my first post here =/
i've been running a PowerPc G5 with OS X 10.4.11 since 2006.
i need to upgrade that to something a lot newer as there are hardly any programs that work on that now, (i need to be able to run Adobe premiere pro and after effects), but my OS is too old... which newer ones work, because i find it all very confusing.
the specs of my system is are:
Hardware Overview:
Machine Name: Power Mac G5 Quad
Machine Model: PowerMac11,2
CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (1.1)
Number Of CPUs: 4
CPU Speed: 2.5 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 1.25 GHz
Boot ROM Version: 5.2.7f1
Hope there is someone out there that can help me!
Cheers, Ben

Hi Ben, and a warm welcome to the forums!
as mentioned...
Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
* Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
minimum system requirements
* 512MB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
* DVD drive for installation
* 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
You have to call Apple & likely ask for a Product Specialist to get it, if they still have it!

  • Need help with upgrading my OS from 10.5.8

    Need help with upgrading my OS. I havent upgraded the OS since I bought it and have version 10.5.8. Now I cant download Mountain Lion- or even Snow Leopard. When i downloaded the first version of SL- 10.6.1 it says i have to have 10.6 first and I cant find that.

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    Whilst Apple withdrew Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs.  You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    UPDATE:
    OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again available from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.

  • Please I need help in upgrading applications

    Please I need help in upgrading my pdf-notes for ipad. it seemed like somebody hijacked my Apple ID, I had since solve the problem with Apple, I still have my original email address but I was unable to upgrade all applications I bought before my username was hijacked and pdf-notes is one of the applications. kindly advice me on what to do to upgrade.
    Thanks. Jimmy

    Okay Demo.  My theory is that accessing iCloud if apps were backed up to it can be redownload end then updated. I am thinking that with the new apple ID the iCloud account may only recognize the high jacked ID. I don't know if I made it clearer but I can do some digging. I don't like to see people using Apple devices having a tuff time. Not cool.

  • Need help about ref cursor using like table

    Hi Guys...
    I am devloping package function And i need help about cursor
    One of my function return sys_refcursor. And the return cursor need to be
    join another table in database . I don't have to fetch all rows in cursor
    All i need to join ref cursor and another table in sql clause
    like below
    select a.aa , b.cc form ( ref_cursor ) A, table B
    where A.dd = B.dd
    I appeciate it in advance

    My understanding is that you have a function that returns a refcursor and is called by a java app.
    Because this is a commonly used bit of code, you also want to reuse this cursor in other bits of sql and so you want to include it like table in a bit of sql and join that refcursor to other tables.
    It's not as easy as you might hope but you can probably achieve this with pipelined functions.
    Is it a direction that code should be going down? yes, eventually. I like the idea of pulling commonly used bits of code into a SQL statement especially into the WITH section, provided it could be used efficiently by the CBO.
    Is it worth the effort given what you have to do currently to implement it? possibly not.
    what else could you do? construct the sql statement independently of the thing that used it and reuse that sql statement rather than the refcursor it returns?

  • Need help about 1015

    need help about 1015 it says connect iphone to itunes on screen i did it but it doesnt work and says unexpected 1015

    Try restoring it: Make sure you are following the instructions in this procedure to the letter.  Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
    Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
    Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again.
    If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    If you have backed up the iPhone in the past, select the device in iTunes and choose "restore from backup".

  • Purchasing MBA but need help on upgrades.

    Hello, I am purchasing an MBA, but need help on upgrades based on the following; I will be attending medical school in the fall, I take a wide range of photos of my family on my iPhone that I play with on certain apps and do store them in the cloud and computer, I have a medium iTunes libaray but will get bigger with the additional apps for school, I am a moderate gamer (I play games online as well as my kids do, but nothing that will take up a ton of space when downloaded like Assassins Creed) and I plan on running MS Office. I've already decided to upgrade to the 8GB but I can't decide if I should upgrade to the 512GB Flash or stay with the 256GB and upgrade from the i5 to i7 or stick with it. I don't plan on buying another until I graduate. I am new to the Mac World outside of the use of my iPhone which convience me to convert from my awful PC. Can you MBA experts relay some advice on a good route. I appreciate it, Thanks

    My rule of thumb is to buy the largest drive storage available. Especially since the Air models can't be upgraded to a larger size in the future. I also like to buy the most amount of RAM offer and as with the storage space on the Air models can't be upgraded once purchased. So Bite the Bullet and spend the money to get both the most RAM and the largest storage offered as neither can be increased later on.  Also I suggest you spend the extra money on the Applecare extended warranty because to fix any Mac once the standard warranty is over is very expensive. You have until the one year standard warranty runs out to buy the Applecare extended warranty.

  • Need HELP on upgrading to os 4.5!!!

    ok..this is my like second time trying to updrage my blackberry....my problem is that i just intalled my desktop manger 4.3, then i upgraded to 4.6...after that is done i deleted the vender.xml..after that i connect my blackberry on my computer and a pop up came...it was like reading if it had any update or something. I was like YES FINALLY but, i it just disappeared and i was like NO!!!....i did all the steps correctly right....??
    need help!!......possible problems there is a desktop software 4.7 now should i have downloaded that?
    i dont get the difference on the handheld softeware and the desktop software....and when i go to device sooftware i see it said upgrade to 4.5, i click on it and download it but nothing happens....
    NEED MAJOR HELP IM A NOOB A THESE THINGS LOL
    REPLY ASAP
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    you have the Desktop Manager, that includes many things including :
      a synchronization tool for Calendar, contacts, tasks
      a backup tool
      an application installation tool (to install applications on your device, from the PC)
      an OS install tool (for example to upgrade the OS on your device)
    that Desktop Manager exists in many versions : 4.3, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7. Since you are using a Curve, any version is okay for you. The latest is supposed to have less bugs.
    About the OS : it's something else. There are several OS versions for the Curve : 4.2 4.2.1 4.3 4.5. Depending on your carrier, you may have access to some. You can install the OS from another carrier if you want to, it just requires to delete the vendor.xml file.
    Install an OS : one way of doing that is :
    download the OS installer on your PC
    install the OS on your PC. It will bring the OS inside the Desktop Manager
    use the Desktop Manager to upload the OS from the Desktop Manager to the device.

    Hi All,
    Em..i just need some advice about choosing correct career path.I graduated with a first class in IT with business information science in 2009.

    Thanks.You'll sit on your bum and ruin your back again with most IT jobs. With your government shrinking, OCA qualification won't have much worth unless you personally know someone in the private sector that needs help. An operator job with your petrol company (assuming it's not just a mom 'n pop station) would probably require heavy lifting.
    IT is a good, solid, growing career path, but most of the work is still programming, and most ways up to better jobs go through that experience. You might be an exception if you have a way to join other skills with your IT education, such as business analysis or sales or web prettyfying. Perhaps the determinants are your personality and goals.
    I know, it's tough, but if you are honest with yourself and check out some of the "what color is my parachute" kinds of career advice books, you can find a happy medium. There actually are some benefits in starting a career during economically troubled times, but you only see that in retrospect. You have to decide on goals, pursue them vigorously, and reevaluate when it doesn't work for you.

  • I need help please, upgrading from OS 10.6.8...

    Please help me - I'm such a technophobe!! I need help upgrading from OS 10.6.8... I get part way through the process and get a box saying "The link needs to be opened with an application" and I don't know what to do next...

    The only way to upgrade from 10.6.8 (which is high as Snow Leopard goes) is to obtain Lion or Mountain Lion from the Online Apple Store or Yosemite from the Mac App Store.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price (though it's reported to have been removed from sale in some countries so may well cease to be available generally) but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Yosemite (10.10.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only. Mavericks (10.9.x) is no longer available.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion and Yosemite are:
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
      and the supported models are:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    Yosemite is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications). Mountain Lion can be obtained the Online Apple Store.
      You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
