Okay I have Kinda Of A Basic Complex Question... How Do You Install Leopard On Tiger???  PowerPC Only!!!!  No Other Mac Computers...

I was recently given a Power Mac G5 (PPC) by a friend of mine to be able to use for our multimedia business. The PPC came loaded with Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.1.  Now my first dilemma was that when I went to install Logic 8 on the system I recieved an error message that "this version of logic requires a minimum of pro application update 4.0 and prokit version whatever" either way it didnt work.  I wasn't really bothered by this at first until I realised that finding pro application update 4.0 would be about as hard as finding waldo.  Eventually after hours of looking I located the update on of all places the Apple site I initially started searching on all to find out Tiger 10.4.1 does not meet the minimum requirements to install this update.  So I came to the conclusion updating my OS to Leopard 10.5.8 would be the best possible outcome and hopefully meet the minimum requirements to run Logic 8.  My friend just happened to have a .dmg file  from his previous installation of OS X Leopard 10.5.8 on his other PPC which I had to burn to a disc (using THIS PPC) in order to be able to boot.  Which brings me to where Im at right now.  I cant get the disc to boot no matter what I try.  Please help!

The folks in this link indicate 4.5 will work.

& notice there is a logic pro forum.
& the link didn't work for me
another site found this link.
Here is ProKit 4.5

Apple has been purging older downloads.  It's a drag.
You can somethings find things if you know the exact name:
ProKitUpdate4.5.dmg
Restore Tiger 10.4 & Leopard 10.5  DVDs are available from Apple by calling 800-767-2775 as of January 20, 2013. Collect your Mac's serial number.  Prepare you credit card for a workout. There is a reasonable fee.

You want the lastest version of Firefox?  Use the TenFourFox g5 clone.
TenFourFox -- It's a port of the latest FireFox to run on older hardware and software.
"World's most advanced web browser. Finely tuned for the Power PC."
    --  works for me on 10.4.  Supports 10.5

Turn on pipelining.  This will allow Firefox to make simaltaneous requests to the server.  Chrome has pipeling turned on. Some sites could fail to load with pipeling set on. The site will be old. See "Increase pipelining" in:

OmniWeb uses the lastest Safari framework.  The open source WebKit. Other browsers like Safari and iCab use the OS version of WebKit.  The OmniWeb downloaded dmg includes it's own copy of the latest WebKit.

  • HT204053 I have multiple devices used by family members, how do you make sure the kids don't see Moms messages from Dad and visa versa?

    I have multiple devices used by family members, how do you make sure the kids don't see Moms messages from Dad and visa versa?

    Hi Roger:
    Thanks for the reply.  I think I figured out the problem.  Apple has confused (at least in my mind) the different IDs that people can have.  In the iCloud settings, they use the term Apple ID and not iCloud ID.  I guess there really is no such thing as an iCloud ID.  There are Apple IDs with various attributes.  This is not clearly explained or easy to see (how could I look up to see if my Apple ID is associated with iTunes for example?).
    I created, what I thought were iCloud IDs for each family member, but we all use my Apple ID for iTunes.
    One other question - why does the syncing of Notes using iCloud require an @me.com email account.  That makes no sense to me.
    Thanks for your help!

  • My iPod touch doesn't have the apple store app anywhere. How do I install it on my iPod touch?

    I think it's a 3rd generation iPod touch. I am trying to download apps for my friend because she doesn't have any apps or games on her iPod. So I took her iPod home and tried to download apps but then I realized she doesn't have a apple App Store. So how do I install it onto her iPod.

    It can't be deleted but it can be hidden by Restrictions. Settings>General>Restrictions.
    Also, have you used the Spotlight search? Maybe yo just can't find it.

    QuickTime X seems to be the future development for Apple and it has features not found in version 7.
    Likewise, QuickTime Player 7 with the "Pro" license has a lot of features not (yet) available in QuickTime X. Most notable are the extensive export options, movie property editor, & "old school" window style with easy to set in & out timeline points that don't block the image.
    But because it is a 32 bit application it is much slower for some things than QT X, most notably playback of HD movie content.
    So I use QT 7 for editing & exporting and QT X for playback-only stuff.

  • I have 100's of of songs that have the available to download icon. How do you download all?

    I Have 100's if songs on my iTunes Mac Pro that have the available to download icon. How do you get them all to download?

    Open the iTunes Store.  From the music section of the store, click on the "Purchased" link on the right side about halfway down.
    Click on the "Not in My Library" tab toward the top.
    Finally, click "Download All" in the lower right.

  • For people who have had it die due to sweat - how did you have it?

    The title is basically my question. For people who have had it die due to sweat, what orientation/where did you have it? I'm just wondering if all the claims are from having the open adapter slot face up, where sweat would easily drip into it.

    @WalleWalle you are brave. Try drying it out in the sun or in some rice, and don't turn it on for a day or 2. The best thing to do would be to take it apart right away, disconnect the batter and wash the circuit with DI water, but that would be very difficult!

  • I have a 120gb Classic that has no space left on it. i am going to buy a larger gb capacity ipod as soon as i get clearer instruction on how to get the old ipod content to the new ipod. How do you get content from one ipod to the other?

    how do you get content from one ipod to the new one? my content is on an external hard drive not on my pc and i have run out of space on my 120gb classic. can you get old ipod content to new? my itunes has only got short cuts, the real content is on an external drive? can this be done?? please help

    If the content is on an external drive, but your library knows where to find it, then it should all work. Connect your device, make some selections for what to put on it, and sync. If, on the other hand, your current iPod is the only place holding some of your media then see this user tip: Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • If you have forgotten your security question how can you change them?

    Have not had to use this option so I really have forgot all about setting this up till the other day.. But when this come up that I did have to use I found out I forgot what I had use.. Stupid me.. Any way I did get my password rest and thought changing this would be simple inside my account.. Wrong... Appears you have also know your old one to change it.. Now this is so stupid.. I don't want to have to pay for support to have apple to reset this option.. Does any one know if Apple has a Email support to help with issue like this.. I may never need this option again but really it was a pain to get around it.
    Thanks Everyone

    Contact Apple, they can reset the security question infomation and you shouldn't need to pay for support on this. There is no troubleshooting your paying for, you're just having assistance for account security
