What OC can be installed on PPC iMac?

My husband's computer, used for searching the web, sending and receiving e-mails.
Unfortunately, we have had issues with the cancellation of MobileMe. He has a second e-mail account, and we cannot access his e-mail with Tiger operating system. iCloud.com tells us that Safari needs to be updated. Research tells us that Safari 4.1.3 is correct for Tiger 10.4.11.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Eileen

The last possible OSX for PPC systems is Leopard (10.5.x).
iCloud requires Lion (10.7.x) for full access, and Snow Leopard (10.6) provides limited e-mail access.

Can I install on the iMac Russian Language? For example, it is possible to install the Russian language in the operating system OS X Lion, if my iMac I bought in the U.S.?

OS X is the same no matter where it is sold, and Lion can be switched to Russian in a few seconds by changing settings in the system preferences.

G3 and what OS can I install

G3 flower version, what OS can I run I have a PowerPC 750 (G3) 400 MHz with 256 mb ram. it has cd only no DVD, I am a little new to macs. what can I install and also where can I get it?

G3 flower version
If it's a +Flower Power+ (case has colorful flower-like pattern), it should be 500 MHz (unless the motherboard was swapped). Here is no information about that model.

It's a good iMac G3 model, but you may NOT want to invest too much money into it at this point. Even if you max it out to 1GB RAM (2 x 512mb), put in a bigger hard drive, and install the latest supported software, it will still not handle everything you need a computer to do these days. If you understand the limitations, it can certainly be useful. But if you are expecting it to play YouTube videos in high-res full screen, you will be frustrated. And if you spend $300 on software and hardware upgrades, you are half way to a new Mac mini that come with the latest hardware and software.
Having said that, you can install up to Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4.11). More RAM would be good to have with Mac OS X. You will have to get a copy of Tiger on eBay or other online source. You need to get a disc that is from a retail package. A retail disc is black with a big silver X. Unfortunately, retail discs for Tiger are usually on DVD, and a CDROM set is hard to fine these days. You can also run Panther (Mac OS X 10.3.9). The retail Panther came on a set of three CDROMs. In either case, do not get a disc that came with another Mac model (usually grey in color); they usually do not work on a different model. I would not get a version of Mac OS X before Panther.
You can also run Mac OS 9, version 9.1 or later.
Does it currently have an install OS?

Can I install my new iMac's OS X Lion software on my other Macs?

I've just acquired a new iMac with the latest version of OS X installed. I also have an older iMac and a MacBook, both running Snow Leopard and meeting all requirements to run Lion. Can I use the new iMac's software if all the other Macs are registered in my name?

No
The license that accompany's an installed version on a new Mac does not allow use on additional machines, but you can purchase and download a copy on one of your other machines and use it on as many as you own.

Can't install OS9 on iMac DV

My current iMac is getting old, so a friend of mine gave me a replacement one with a blank HD. Being computer illiterate I followed the instructions on the old Install CD that came with my current machine. I clicked on Clean Install and after it was through, did a restart. The new machine said that installation was successful, although most of the items under the Apple Menu are now gone. Also, it would not let me eject the Install disk, insisting that the install disk WAS the Operating System. I had to force the disk to eject via a paper clip stuck into the slot.
What the heck is going on, and what should I do (other then toss the thing in the trash) ?
I'm computer illiterate, so keep your answers non-technical and understandable. Simple instructions, please

Control Panels are usually kept together within a subfolder in the System Folder. Because they are frequently used, they are, however, made readily accessible through Apple::Control Panels. (There are, of course, exceptions to that generality, but they make themselves apparent when they occur.) The path for Startup Disk is therefore Apple::Control Panels::Startup Disk.
When a CD is the current startup volume it is effectively 'in use' even when it is not being read. Some part of its contents will always be in System memory, so application files on it will notionally be 'open'. The system has an inbuilt constitutional objection to ejecting a volume with open application files, and will tell you so. Normal ejection needs that files be closed, folded and put away neatly. A startup CD finds it difficult to be the agent of its own ejection. This is in contrast to, say, a plain data CD that is being read only at need. Use of the emergency release mech. is best confined to when the iMac is shut down, using Special::Shut Down..., so that all housekeeping is performed in orderly fashion. Then the CD-ROM drive, having been deprived of all sentience, and being no longer on guard against improper ejection, will let go gracefully. In the present case the CD should have been ejected during restart from the hard drive. I doubt that your action will have damaged the CD-ROM drive irreparably, but it would have more-than-ruffled its brow at the time.
eBay is only one of a number of possible sources of a 'full install' CD, in well-worn (avoid) to near-new condition. I cannot tell you the part number of the North American English CD for OS 9.1 (unless it be 691-2748-A), but that for OS 9.2.1 is 691-3334-A. If you can avoid it, do not settle for iMac machine-specific OS 9.0 Install (orange), for OS 9.0.4 Install (grey), for any non-white CD labelled 'Restore', or for a full install version less than OS 9.1. You can expect to pay between USD10 and USD50, depending on the CD's condition and the intensity of competition at auction, or on the fixed price at a bricks-and-mortar emporium.
Your 'new' Mac's hard drive presumably has some kind of System Folder on it as a result of your previous installation. When you have your brand-spanking OK OS 9.1 or 9.2.1 full install CD, it will be cautious of you to trash the previous installation, using your install CD, before making a new installation.
The extras in the Apple Menu of your 'old' machine will have to be transferred to your new machine if they are not amongst the new installation. Before you go to that trouble, however, it will be as well for you to ensure that those extras are useful to you.

Can't install iTunes on iMac G4

Every time I try to install iTunes to my iMac I there were errors installing software and it is directly downloaded from the site. Also the original itunes that came with Tiger does not work. What's the deal?

Tell us exactly what error messages you receive. Also, what troubleshooting have you done yourself? And what do you mean by "doesn't work" in reference to the original iTunes that came with Tiger. Give us as much detail as possible so we can help you.

I can't install Xcode - My iMac crashes

Until a few months ago, I had an old version of Xcode (I'm sorry, but I don't remember the version) that I downloaded from the Mac App Store. What I downloaded was like an installer for Xcode, rather than Xcode itself. When Mountain Lion came out, I tried to update to the new version of Xocde (now it was the actual Xcode that downloaded) and it downloaded as usual, but when installing, it made my iMac crash. I tried many times, making my computer crash every time, until it finally installed succesfully (honestly, I don't remember if I did something in order to install it succesfully… I think I deleted the older version, I'm not sure). After that, it worked fine and I thought the problem was solved. I had no problem whatsoever installing it in my new MacBook Air.
Today, Apple released a new update for Xcode. And the same thing as before, when it begins the installation, my iMac freezes for a second and then restarts itself. After the restart, Xcode appears "In Pause" or something like that in Launchpad. If I try to open it, I can downloading it again, but when it finishes downloading and begins the installation, it fails as I've described.
What could be the cause of this? And, of course, what can I do in order to fix it? A permanent fix, preferably.
Thank you.

Same happening to me. I cannot complete Xcode installation because of a crash.
I cannot even run old Xcode, I get an alert about the program being upgraded.
I did a try to the direct installation via .dmg, but it ends up the same.
I suppose I am going to restore previous back up.

Can't install OSX on iMac DV 400

I have a Blueberry iMac DV 400 with 512MB/10GB and a clean install of 9.1. The hard drive was formatted journaled with Disk Utility from the 10.3 install CD.
I've tried installing 10.3, 10.3.5, and 10.2 with no luck. When trying to install 10.3, I get to the part of the install where it's reading packages and the screen goes blue with the black spinning dial gauge. When I tried to install 10.2, I got the spinning beach ball and then a black screen that said the install could not continue and I needed to restart.
The computer runs fine under 9.1. My niece had been using it for years until she upgraded to an iMac G5
Anyone have any ideas what is causing this?

Thanks. I think I have plenty of hard drive space as it's a 10GB drive and with only OS9 on it, there's about 8GB free space.
However, that article "Mac OS X: Troubleshooting installation and software updates" lead me to this one:
"Troubleshooting Mac OS X installation from CD or DVD"
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106693
As suggested in this article, I will try copying all the files on the CD to the hard drive to check the optical drive. If that works OK, then I'll pull the RAM one DIMM at a time to check that.

Leopard won't install on PPC iMac G5

Hello, I've had my iMac G5 (non-intel) since 2005. I've recently upgraded my iphone to a 4, and I want to install Leopard so I can sync with my computer. After going to all the trouble and expense to get the software, I stick it in and click upgrade. I get the language box on the restart, then preparing install, but then I just get a message that says "Mac OSX cannot be installed on this computer. The software cannot be installed on this computer."
As far as I know, my computer meets the minimum requirements for an upgrade. Any ideas?

The gray discs are machine-specific, meaning that they will only work on the models of Macs they originally shipped with. They do not have drivers and code for other Macs, meaning they are useless unless they are with the original computer or equivalent model.
If you call Apple Phone Sales (800 MY APPLE in the US), you can still order a retail version of Leopard for $129. You may be able to find a retail disc elsewhere online, but make sure it is the black disc with the big X on it, not a gray disc.

I have iWork box set, can't install on new iMac.

Hi, I recently bought the new 27" iMac and was meaning to install the iWorks suite on it. I have the box set, but I realized that there is no CD-ROM drive. Is there a way I can download iWorks using something on the box set? please help!

You can buy the application anew from the MacAppStore and download them. I wouldn't do that right now as the grapewine says there will come a new upgrade in december.
Do you still have an old computer with the Super drive?

Hey there dseven - I'm just about to give this a crack - did it work for you? (I'm just going to replace the 1TB HD myself I think).

I have just purchased a Panasonic SDR-H80 Hard disk Video camera. What software can I use for my iMac.

I would like to know if anyone knows of Software that I can use on my iMac for the above.

It records in mpeg2 format. Try using meg streamclip ( free) to convert the material to dv. You should be able to edit dv format with iMovie.

What os can i install on my mac pro 1,1

I want to upgrade my OS and I just want to know how far I can upgrade. I have a Mac Pro 1,1 with 5gb RAM and 2x2.66Ghz Intel Xeon Dual-Core Processors. I'm currently running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

Dump those 512MB DIMMs and get 2x2GB set for Mac Pro on Amazon.
The old DIMMs are old, run hotter, and waste of DIMM slots. The new RAM would go in top riser in slots 1&2.
While at it, pick up $130 250GB Samsung EVO SSD will do wonders!
Do a clean install.
Save the installer package before running - Diskmaker can make a nice bootable installer you can put on any partition you want (16GB at least) to use and reuse.
Lion runs super nicely.

What parts can be upgraded in the iMac (sept 2012) besides memory at home?

Can I upgrade the hard drive from 1 tb to 3 tb or go to a 1 tb fusion drive?

If your 2012 iMac is a 27 inch screen model, the only thing you can upgrade is RAM.
If this is a new 21 inch screen iMac, then you cannot upgrade anything.
If you open up your iMac for anything, you not only void your one free year of AppleCare, but you void ever getting the option to purchase and register for the 3-year extended AppleCare warranty and no service of your IMac from Apple, directly.
Only get servicing from Apple Authorized service/repair locations.
You, basically, get left on your own.
