TA48312 What's the latest OS I can upgrade my Mac G5 with Operating system 10.5.8 to?

I just got this used G5 from a friend so I can start introducing myself to the Apple world. I had enough Microsoft PC issues and I think is time for me to start using Apple from now on. I just want to know what's the latest OS I can upgrade this computer without investing too much money or any at all. My next purchase will be a Mac Pro Quad-core. I will like to use this G5 as the means to learn most of the good things Apple has to offer. Any assistance or advice will be appreciated. I will like to know how much I can do to update and upgrade this old system.
Thanks.
Carlos

It's already running the newest OS it can.

Minimum requirements for iCloud is v10.7.5 Lion.
See if your Mac can run Lion > OS X Lion - Technical Specifications
You can purchase Lion here > OS X Lion (10.7) - Apple Store (U.S.)
After the purchase Apple will send you an email notification with a redemption code you can use at the App Store to downlaod Lion.
BEFORE you do that, see if your Mac can Mavericks > OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
If so, you don't need to purchase Lion.
You can download Mavericks from the App Store for free.

What is the latest OS I can use with a mac G5 with a dual 2.3 Ghz PowerPC G5 processor?

What is the latest OS I can use with a mac G5 with a dual 2.3 Ghz PowerPC G5 processor? Everything on my computer has been running so slowly in the last few weeks. Have I finally outgrown OS 10.4.11? Would there be some other problem that would sudden make all my speed take a nose dive? I have 8.5 gigs of RAM... Please advise!
Thanks! Matthew

Everything on my computer has been running so slowly in the last few weeks.
First open Console in Applications>Utilities, see if you have reapeating messages.
How much Free Space do you have on the Hard Drive?
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

What is the latest OS I can put on my iBook? 600 MHZ Power PC G3

What is the latest OS I can put on my iBook? Mine has OS X 10.3.9. It is 600 MHZ Power PC G3. It won't connect to my home wifi, so I need a later OS.

Thank you, I pass that test, but noticed on several sites that i need 256 MB for Tiger 10.4. I am not sure if this is true or not. Also, I am not sure where to find a download of the OS (can i download it on my PC, burn it, and use CD it to install?
Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I wouldn't mess around with a measly 128 MB upgrade (assuming that's what you have now). Instead of merely doubling the RAM, maximize it with a 512 MB module.

G4 super drive Mac OS 9.1.x

Hi Ed,
I'd just go down to your local Apple dealer and purchase some more RAM for your computer and then you will be able to run Mac OS X fine. I'd try to get at least a 512 MB chip - it shouldn't be too expensive.

What's the latest OS that can run on a Blue & White G3 Desktop?

A friend has a blue & white Power Mac G3 desktop currently running 10.3.9. What is the newest OS we can upgrade to?

I know this is an old thread, but Leopard has been installed on Power Mac G3's - only those with a G4 upgrade and the addition of a lot of kexts from developer versions of Leopard and XPostFacto. This is no easy task by far, but it has been done to prove that Leopard can run on Macs without AGP graphics like the Blue and White G3. Here is a link to LowEndMac with an article about it and a link to macmod that is more recent:
http://lowendmac.com/mail/0807mb/0709.html
http://www.macmod.com/software-mods/mac-os/1571-leopard-on-pre-pci
This guy at macmod has it running on his G3 Blue and White and on computers even older like the 8500 - with a G4 upgrade of course, and it also seems to be pretty stable. If you are brave, try it!

What is the most RAM I can put in mac book pro 15 inch 2.16(2006)?

What is the most RAM I can put in mac book pro 15 inch 2.16(2006)?

Depends. There were two version of the MBP that shipped in 2006 with different max RAM. The quickest way to see which is yours is to use System Profiler to get your Mac's "Model Identifier."
Do "About this Mac" from the Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click "More Info..." That launches System Profler for you.
The answer is in the first screen of Profiler that comes up--"Hardware Overview." Note the second line in this example:
If the Model Identifier says "MacBookPro1,X" you are limited to 2G RAM. Period.
If the Model Identifier says "MacBookPro2,X" you can install two, 2G modules for an installed total of 4G RAM, but the logic board can only access 3.2G of it. That becomes your "max RAM.
Hope this helps,
AJ

You can sell your existing computer using eBay, Craigslist or the venue of your choice. You could then use the proceeds to purchase a new computer.

What is the best soft wear update for a mac desktop with   System Version:     Mac OS X 10.5.8

What is the best soft wear update for a mac desktop with   System Version:
Mac OS X 10.5.8

It will depend on the actual model you have.
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99 while Mavericks is free. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion or Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
     OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?

Mac OS X 10.5.8. You'll likely find it more cost-effective to buy a secondhand Intel Mac.

What is the latest OS you can update to if you have safari 5?

what is then latest OS i can update my macbook to. i have OS 10.6.8 at present.

It's determined by the computer's hardware and not the installed Safari version. Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Mavericks. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data before upgrading. Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.
