Using 9.2.2. Need OSx 10.2.8 how do i upgrade new to mac

Hey there guys i have a radeon 9200 128meg vid card but on the box it says i need this upgrade 10.2.8 how would i obtain this upgrade to go from 9.2 to 10.2.8

Hi, Versatilx1 -
...how would i obtain this upgrade to go from 9.2 to 10.2.8
The short answer is, you can not.
OS 9 and OSX are not related - no version of OS 9 can be upgraded to any version of OSX. The underpinnings of the two OS's are not the same at all.
In order to install OSX, you will need to acquire a retail package in the base version of OSX that you want, and then upgrade that as needed via download update.
Base versions of OSX are 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4.
There are also no upgrades available to take one base version of OSX to the next - a new purchase of the new base version is needed. This means that one should purchase only the final base version that they want.
In this case, if you want to be at OX 10.2.8, you would purchase the retail version of OSX 10.2, then update that to 10.2.8 using the approptiate download updater.
However, most requirements for OS versions, such as your Radeon card seems to have, are stated as a minimum OS version - meaning a higher version is adequate.
Since you have a G4 (AGP) model, I would suggest either OSX 10.3 or OSX 10.4, updated to the latest version available for that base version. Given that your G4 (AGP) has a max 500MHz processor (machine) speed (based on original processors that came with that model), OSX 10.3 might be the better choice. Someone with experience using OSX on a G4 (AGP) model would be better able to clarify that.
Notes:
• Before attempting to install OSX, be sure your firmware has been updated to v. 4.2.8 -
http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n120068
• It is a good idea to have at least 512MB of RAM in the machine before installing OSX.
• OSX will install alongside OS 9; it will not replace OS 9. Both OS's are designed to co-exist on the same volume.

  • Using Safari 1.2 with OSX 10.3.9: how to upgrade to Safari 1.3.1 + 1.3.2?

    I'm using Safari 1.2 with my OSX 10.3.9. I want to upgrade to the latest/best version of Safari that can run with 10.3.9. I see (and have downloaded) the updates 1.3.1 and 1.3.2 for Safari on the Apple Download page, but I can't install 1.3.1 yet because it says it "is not compatible" with what I already have.
    I have a feeling there is a Safari 1.3 update out there that I need to download first, but for the life of me I can't find it anywhere on the Apple site.
    My questions:
    What is the most up-to-date version of Safari for 10.3.9?
    If I'm using Safari 1.2 currently, what steps to I go through to get to the latest version?
    And most importantly: Where do I download these versions? (Link or URL please).
    Thanks!

    Safari 1.3 is available as part of the Mac OS X 10.3.9 Update. Your best bet at this stage is to download and reapply the 10.3.9 Combo Update. That should get you started. The latest Safari version for Panther is 1.3.2.

  • I have OSX 10.6.8 - how do I make room on mac HD for Lion?

    I have a Mac Pro 1.1 with OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leoprad. I want to move all my music, photos, and videos to other hard drives so i will have more room in Mac HD for Lion etc. I have not been to do this. Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    If you have a MacBook Pro 1,1 then forget it, stay on 10.6.8.
    Use Carbon Copy Cloner and clone your OS X 10.6 boot volume to another blank GUID OS X extended formatted drive. (use the Secure Erase > Zero feature on the drive first to eliminate any bad sectors) this is your 10.6 clone so you can boot and use PPC based apps your going to lose going to 10.7/10.8 or to come back to 10.6 if you won't like the Lions.
    Hold option key down on a wired keyboard to boot from the clone drive and check it out.
    Next zero erase your entire 10.6 original boot drive holding option from the 10.6 installer disk
    Reinstall 10.6 from the disks (same account name), reinstall iLife from the second disks and call Apple if you want to upgrade to 10.7 specifically but your MacPro 1,1 can go to 10.8 directly from AppStore.
    Now your machine is bare bones, install your 10.8 compatible third party programs/upgrades etc.
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    On another drive setup duplicate Music2, Pictures2, Movies2 and Document2 folders and copy your files from the clone into them. Thus only on the boot drive is programs and OS X, no files.
    You can command drag items like the original Documents, Music, Pictures folders off the Finder window sidebar and use the Music2, Pictures2, Movies2 etc there instead. However some programs will still try to save things automatically in the original user folders.
    When you launch say iPhoto in 10.8 against the older 10.6 iPhoto Library, it will update it.
    This sounds like a lot more work, but it's really giving you a solid footing, a stable fast system and free of crapola.
    I always take a extra mile in being through to eliminate as many potential issues as possible, as it's cheaper and less hassle than cure, my machines always run well and fast, even Windows ones.

  • Address book in OSX 10.7.2: how to create a new contacts group?

    Hi.
    I have upgraded to OSX 10.7.2 on my MacBook Pro.
    How can I create a new contacts group  using addresses in my Address Book?
    The idea is to use the group to send emails to a bunch of people without having to write them in individually.
    (Before, on on OSX 10.5, I went into my Address Book, clicked on the left to  "Add a Group" and then slid in the contact files I wanted to include in the group.
    Tx for helping!
    Ray

    Open adress book with 2 pages exposed and reach the position with the groups listed on the left page.
    In the bottom left corner there is a "+" ... just click on it
    Even easyer... press shift command N

  • Can I use same apple ID on two IPads? And how do I name new IPad..Thank you in advance for any help

    Can I use same Apple ID on my old and my new IPad....and if so, how do I name the new iPad. want to keep games on one iPad and use the other for emails etc. Many thanks

    Hi,
    Yes you can definitely use the same Apple ID regardless of how many apple devices you have. This way you can install the apps that you have already purchased.
    It really does not matter what name your iPad is. You usually rename them under Settings>General>About>Name>
    Just a note if you use the same icloud apple id as well, both devices will recieve the imessages and facetime calls.
    Hope that helps!

  • I have ca. 30 pdf documents I need to search for keywords; how can I do on my MAC?

    I have ca. 30 pdf documents I need to search for keywords; when I open these documents in Adobe Reader on my MAC, it shows a Search tool; however, when I search for keywords I know are in the document, none are found.  How can I do a keyword search?

    Do you know if the text has been OCR recognised? Are the original documents "scans"?
    An easy way to find out, if you can select an individual word or letter? If you are selecting a whole block of text then the document will need to be put through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software first to enable you to keyword search.

  • I have osx 10.6.8 how do I upgrade?

    can i upgrade to mountain lion?

    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.
    Mountain Lion and Mavericks have the same system requirements. Unless you have software compatible with 10.8 but not 10.9, it's best to skip it.

    If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) like <i>Adblock Plus</i> or <i>NoScript</i> or <i>Flash Block</i> that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    You can use one of these to start Firefox in <u>Safe mode</u>:
    *On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
    *On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
    *Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    If it works in Firefox Safe-mode then disable all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.

  • Need OSX 10.6

    I want to install Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on an external hard disc.  To do this apparently I need OSX 10.6 installed before I can upgrade to 10.6.8 (for which I have the dvd)
    Mountain Lion won't let me access the 10.6.8 install program so that I can choose my external disc for the install location.
    Where can I download 10.6?

    Note that unless you have a MacBook Pro that shipped with 10.6 (or very shortly after 10.7 was released), you will not be able to install 10.6 from that computer. Installation requires that the system be able to boot from the relevant installer disk, something which a newer MBP will not.

    It would depend on how old your IMac is, how mush memory you have, it it can be upgraded by OWC, etc. I have a 2006 Macbook Pro and would NOT put Mavericks on it or espeacially FCP 10.1.1 on it because the most memory it can have is 4 GB. You need at least 8 GB to work with Final Cut Pro 10.1.1. IMHO.
      I would try to find a copy of Final Cut Express perhaps.
      Does this answer your question?

    Hello,
    If you just do a normal time machine backup on your macbook pro and then plug that harddrive into your new air; you should be able to just use migration assistant to transfer all your files. You wouldnt need to upgrade to mountain lion on your macbook pro.
