What is the highest os x version for a powerbook g4

i am trying to run minecraft on my powerbook g4 but cannot.  The apple store genius told me that the g4 can only be ungraded to os x 10.5.8 Leapord and the reason minecraft will not work.  Is there a version of minecraft i can use or a way to upgrade the G4 to 10.6.6 so that it will allow minecraft to work?

Actually, in theory, Snow Leopard should be able to run fine on some older G4/G5 systems,
There is no theory about it.   Snow Leopard is entirely Intel CPU based.   There is no Intel architecture on the G4/G5 systems, thus they can't run 10.6 no matter how you hack it.    Unless you can show me a link where Snow Leopard in actuality can run on a G4 or G5 system, please do not state such a thing exists.  And while some people may succeed in producing a "mod" machine with an Intel CPU, it is not a Mac, and it doesn't have the correct cooling to ensure the machine doesn't overheat.  Apple machines are tightly integrated units that if done not according to design can have surprise issues with how they behave.
Mavericks can run on some 2007 Macs.   The issue has to be with the GPU that is being addressed.      And there is a hack to make the original Mac Pro models run Mountain Lion, and possibly Mavericks.  Here is the hack: http://www.jabbawok.net/?p=47

  • What is the Highest Capacity SATA Drive for a REV A G5

    What is the Highest Capacity SATA Drive for a REV A G5 (SP 1.8 with 8 RAM slots), it came with a 160, I know 250s work... will anything higher?
    I am looking at this if nothing else, it seems to be a nice 250,
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Seagate/ST3250823AS/
    but I am curious if I could go higher
    Thanks

    Hitachi 400GB was trouble even on SeriTek controllers. Like the early 7K250, it was not a native SATA drive. Early SATA drives were often using Marvel or some other bridge on PATA drives. The T7K250 and 7K500, or Maxtor are fine. WD has some new drives, one model is optimized for RAID-only firmware.
    Whatever happened to just plug in and go, anyway?

  • HT4623 What is the most current iOS version for iPhone 3G?

    I have an iPhone 3G, what is the most current iOS version? I have 4.2.1 and when I tried to update, iTunes says that I have the current version. I can't seem to download any apps with 4.2.1.

    That is correct,
    The last release of iOS to support the 3G model was 4.2.1, released on November 22, 2010
    The 3G model is now 4 and half years old.

  • What is the Best After Effects Version for my Computer?

    Hey I have a Windows 7 with a Pentium (R) Dual Core CPU T4400 @2.20GHz   2.20GHz
    RAM 3.00 GB 64bit Oberating System
    Display Adapter: Mobile Intel (R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family
    What is the best earlier model of After Effects or maybe current for my computer type?
    Or what is the best settings for After Effects to run faster for animation?
    Thanks

    Unless you plan on using a very old version of After Effects, which will cause a bunch of other problems on Windows 7, you simply need more RAM.  3 GB is barely enough to keep Windows running smoothly, let alone running a RAM-hungry app like AE.  Your first priority is to put more RAM in your computer.

  • What is the latest Ovi maps version for E72?

    According to maps application I have:
    c3.04 10wk17 bo7 MW OpenGl LM MN
    Map Version 0.1.25.114
    is that the newest for this phone?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    i hope this is not off topic, but i have a similar problem with map versions, but slightly different circumstances.
    i have firmware 051.018, with ovi maps v3.04 10wk32 b03 and map version 0.1.24.114
    i want to upgrade the firmware to the newer v071.004 with ovi map v3.04_10wk32_b04 (or so you say). 
    my question is this. does firmware v071.004 come with ovi map v3.04_10wk32_b0, and does it require maps version 0.1.25?
    if so it'll really suck to upgrade the firmware for me and i probably won't do it because i downloaded offline maps for the whole world (like 8 gigs) from a mirror site and have been happily prancing about the globe on my e72 for sometime now. my e72 has almost become more of a gps map device than a phone. honestly i would rather buy another nokia with updated maps than give up my precious world map on the old firmware.
    should i upgrade or not?
    so, coincidentally, i am also very interested in finding out the newest version of ovi maps to be included in the 070 firmware.
    thank you and i hope this wasn't too much of a curveball.

  • What is the current AE firmware version for MacBook Pro 2Ghz Core Duo?

    My losing connection every so often MPB shows:
    Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x86)
    Wireless Card Locale: USA
    Wireless Card Firmware Version: 0.1.27

    Good question. They basically said I needed to send it in for repair. Afterward I brought up the version and was told it would be up to date if Software Update was completed. I mentioned the difference between the version on my iMac and the MPB and was told that perhaps the MPB AE is defective and not updating. I am just curious to know what others have.

  • What is the correct Sun Java version for Plus ?

    OK so I am running Version 1.4.2_06 (build 1.4.2_06-b03) for Disco Plus.. Is that the correct version ? I am trying to debug an error (Outstanding Refresh) and I need to eliminate the Java version being the cause:
    Can anyone confirm ? thanks OBX
    OracleBI Discoverer 10g (10.1.2.1)
    Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Plus 10g (10.1.2.48.18)

    End User Layer Library - 10.1.2.48.18
    Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - 64bi

    Hi OBX
    Yes that is the correct version, at least that's the one that comes out of the box. You can upgrade to later versions but you have to do this both on the server and on the client. One thing that you must not do is allow the client machines to upgrade when the server is still on 1.4.2_06
    I hope this helps
    Best wishes

  • What is the latest available AsyncOS Version for the IronPort C160

    Hello @ all,
    i try to figure out if there is a AsyncOS 8.x update for the Cisco IronPort C160 available.
    My Cisco C160 cluster is running the 7.6.0-357 AsyncOS version.
    Greetings Robert

    8.0.1-023 is still the latest GA release.  If you are on that release, you won't see any of the FCS releases.  
    Q: Are there any other releases available for AsyncOS?
    A: Yes, FCS candidates are available for provisioning, but you must open a support case and request to be added to the FCS provisioning group.  Please see our other CSC blog posts for recent FCS release information.
    I'll shoot you a DM and work with you to get your SN and info, if you are wanting to get 8.5.6-073?
    I hope this helps!
    -Robert

    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD

  • I am using os x 10.4.11 on a 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo.  I don't believe I can install lion on this system but was wondering what is the highest version I can use?

    I am using os x 10.4.11 on a 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo.  I don't believe I can install lion on this system but was wondering what is the highest version I can use?

    Here are the requirements for Lion:
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/06/07/mac-os-x-10-7-lion-system-requirements/
    In order to install Lion you have to have Snow Leopard and then update to 10.6.8:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Personally I suggest that you stop at Snow Leopard.  It still is the most efficient OS that Apple has devised and it still works great.  Go to the Lions only if there are feature that you really need.  There may be a price to pay in slower performance though.
    Ciao.

  • What is the highest Firefox version that can now be downloaded on to my Mac OSX version 10.5.8?

    When I open the "Firefox" window on my computer, and then click on"About Mozilla Firefox," I read "Firefox Version 3.6.23." I assume this is the version operating now on my computer. If it isn't, because of later updates, how can I find out what the version now operating on my computer is? What is the highest compatible version I can download, and how?

    It looks like you have a "Power PC" Mac. The last version of Firefox to support PPC Macs is 3.6. You can try [http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ TenFourFox]. It's a port of the latest Firefox made for PPC Macs. It's not made by Mozilla but many PPC users are happy with it.

  • What is the Highest Level of MAC OS X level for iMAC G4?

    What is the Highest Level of MAC OS X level for iMAC G4?
    Right now, I'm running MAC OS X version 10.3.9.
    Can I run Aperture iMAC G4?

    OK,
    I am now officially an certified idiot. I have 10.5.8 running, and was told that 10.4 makes a G4 run smoother. I did notice that, however I blamed it on firefox, safari and mail. Also I noticed that pages and word take quite some time to start up.
    My apologies for all the confusion. But before I consider reinstalling 10.4, I thought I'd pop the question on this forum.
    Do you think it will make a difference, and what are your thoughts on security risks if it is true that with 10.4 you can't run the latest versions of Safari and Firefox?
    Thanks bluebird

  • ITunes tells me, that I need to load version 11.1 in order to load a backup into my iPhone 5. I'm working with a windows PC and want to update my phone to iOS 7GM. version 11.0.5 is the highest I can get for windows. Can somebody help me?

    iTunes tells me, that I need to load version 11.1 in order to load a backup into my iPhone 5. I'm working with a windows PC and want to update my phone to iOS 7GM. version 11.0.5 is the highest I can get for windows. Can somebody help me?

    I'm assuming you followed a forum like Gizmodo to load the latest version of iOS 7 Beta on your device
    Alot of those forums forget to mention, iTunes 11.0.5 will allow you to update to the iOS 7 Beta but your device will no longer work unless you have the developer version of iTunes as well....
    I'd suggest you to research how to downgrade back to 6.1.3/4 and wait a few days for the iOS to be released,
