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's the latest version I can use on a Mac OS10 2.8?
It downloads, but I don't get a prompt to move it to apps. When I moved it anyway, there's no Firefox logo and when I move it to the doc, it doesn't load. Still have old version when I launch Firefox. What am I doing wrong?
The last version that runs on OS 10.2.8 is Firefox 2.0.0.20

You would definitely want to get more RAM as you only have 2 GB - although that is stated as a minimum for Yosemite, the reality is that you want at least 4 GB or you won't be happy with its performance. If this is yours:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac-core-2-duo-2.8-24-inch-alu minum-early-2008-penryn-specs.html
you could either get 2 x 2 GB RAM or 1 X 2 GB plus 1 x 4 GB:

I have a 2007 (Imac7,1) running Snow Leopard (10.6.8). What is the latest OX I can upgrade to? I want to get t the Cloud and I can't
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.

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.
CarlosIt's already running the newest OS it can.

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.

What is the latest OS I can run on my G4 super drive
I was told by a friend that I can't run Tiger... so what would be the must current OS I can run ?
I bought a copy of OS 10 a few yrs ago and never got a chance to installed it
I was wanted to install I photo and wanted to use my DVD burner to back up my photos etc...My 9.1 OS has I DVD but I don't think that allows me to burn DVD'S for pics. I put blank DVD (TDK) DVD-R and the tray just opened and rejected
the blank after a minute of spinning
Please advise
Thanks in advance

G4 super drive Mac OS 9.1.xHi 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.

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.

One (On My Mac) is a set of folders, the other is a way to export a mailbox for archiving or transfer to another machine.

What is the latest update i can go to?
My Macbook 2, 1 is running an older OS. It is a black, mid '07 model stuck on 10.4.11. I was wondering if anyone can help me out a little. What is the latest operating system update that i can go to/can handle?
You can upgrade from 10.4 straight to 10.6 with no problems. Any program that runs under 10.4 should run under10.6. See this list for compatibility with 10.6: http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/ You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any Power PC applications http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/ I recently upgraded an older MacBook (model 1,1) straight from 10.4 to 10.6.
A retail 10.5 Leopard disk will run you over $200
The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available at this time from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list. The App Store which is required to download 10.7 Lion is part of the 10.6.6 update.
Once you are at 10.6.8 Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store. The price is $19.99.
You must have at least a model 2,1 MacBook. Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications. -
Hi My Name is Harry , I have an Old 2005 Apple Mac Mini with Os 10.4.11 985165)
with Kernel Version Darwin 8.11.0 Boot Volum Macintosh HD.
I tried to go to Roku.com/link to Activate my roku , and all I Got was a Big Blank White Page
That Said About Blank. I tried to Port my Cell Phone Number form Metro pcs to Republic Wireless
and Got the Same Big White Page that Said About Blank. so I tried to update to Google Chrome
and My Computer Said My System would not Support Goggle Chrome .
So What is the Latest SOFTWARE OS I Can Install to Keep this Old 2005 Apple Mac Mini Running ?
Can Any One Help or should I go to The Apple Store.
Thanks Harry .
<Email Edited buy Host>Mac OS X 10.5.8. You'll likely find it more cost-effective to buy a secondhand Intel Mac.
