What version of OSX disks do I need

I am looking to upgrade my iMac to 10.4 to bring it in line with my other machines. I have seen a set of disks on ebay for a mac will these work on a G5 iMac? They look dark grey on the image and the specs are below.
MAC OS X Version: 10.4.8
Disc Version 1.0
AHT version 3A118
Part Numbers:
CD1: 2Z691-5967-A
CD2: 2Z691-5930-A

Hi-
The discs that you describe are machine specific, and are in no way appropriate for the G5 iMac. The earliest versions shipped with Panther, 10.3.5, the iSight model with Tiger 10.4. Late 2006 and mid 2007 models were finally up to 10.4.7.
To move up to Tiger, you will need to find a retail install disc, which is black with a silver X.

  • What version of osx would give an Imac 24'' 2.3 ghz intel core 2 Duo, with 4gb of DDR2 SDRAM, the best performance? To do illustration and design jobs.

    What version of osx would give an Imac 24'' 2.3 ghz intel core 2 Duo, with 4gb of DDR2 SDRAM, the best performance? To do illustration and design jobs.
    Would the more recents os versions increase the overall performance? Is it worth it?

    Hello!
    Snow Leopard is what i am currently using. But i guess it does need some clean up and maybe a clean install to see if it gets faster.
    I believe 4gb is the limit for this model, although i've seen some with 6gb…
    Thank you for the help

  • How do you know what version Mac OSX is on ANOTHER drive?

    How do you know what version Mac OSX is on ANOTHER drive without starting that drive
    and seeing the system profiler? In fact, because the drive wont start up, Now I am wondering if it is pre-intel. ? CMD-I doesn't do it. Thanks

    Why mess with this? Well, I got the HDDs and the enclosure from my previous PPC, so I'd like to make use of it all without $pending again.
    I don't see any problems with using the card and drives on your new Mac. Hardware is too pricey to just leave behind if you can't help it. With the new drivers I suspect you'll be able to use your drives, I just don't think you'll be able to boot from them if the interface card requires drivers. They should still be very fast storage devices, and probably reliable due to the ongoing support the vendor has provided.
    I went through the same type of issue when I bought my Dual G4 1.42 Tower (upgraded from a Quadra 840AV ). Several of my devices were SCSI (I was into SCSI Wide/Fast drive arrays at the time for video capture), and I was able to use an Adaptec card for scanning for several years with Jaguar and Panther. I'd spent quite a bit of cash to ensure high quality and performance and didn't want to loose all of the investment. Eventually the SATA hard drives and other USB and Firewire replacements became so cheap and performance improved enough that loosing SCSI with Tiger was not a big deal. I do think I should get about 5 years of hardware compatibility with most products and I keep older Mac's around for dedicated services as long as they aren't a costly maintenance issue.

    What version of Mac OS do I need to run the latest version of InDesign 10.10 using Creative Cloud

    No. You do not need to go to 10.10, but it’s probably best to so to avoid this again for some time.
    That said, any machine still running 10.6 has got to be pretty old and lacking power to run the new apps.

  • What version of X-code do I need for os x 10.6?

Like I said- I can't upgrade it any further so I need to know what version of X-code and the SDK I will need. I'm a newbie noob btw. Any help Appreciated! Even guessing could be helpful! Thanks :D

    3.2.6 is the latest for Snow Leopard. However, version 4 might be usable. Peruse http://developer.apple.com/technologies/tools/whats-new.html for details and requirements.

  • What version of OSX on IMac G5?

    Hi, my dad has a second user iMac which is currently running OSX version 10.5.8.  
    Due to updates, his e-mail account and browser seem to want to have a newer version of OSX and (being a non Mac user) I'm wondering what later versions would run on his iMac.
    According to what I found, it's a PowerMac 8,1 with 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 (3.0) processor and bus speed of 600 MHz, and boot version 5.2.2f2.
    I assume the most modern versions of OSX will not run on such an old machine so there must be a cut off point where a more modern version will still work.  I'd appreciated advice on what that might be please.
    Many thanks

  • What version of flash player do i need

    Hi,
    I tried publishing captivate projects and there is this weird
    dialogue box which sticks out in the middle which says created by :
    my name, creator : my company's name and adobe captivate in the
    bottom and it runs over all the slides . I have flash player 6. Is
    that the problem. What version should i get to avoid this dialogue
    box and i tried importing .swf project to ppt. Did all the gimicks
    which were given online on how to make video embed in a ppt and it
    did not play . Does this have something to do with my version of
    flash player again??

    I would suggest trying with Flash player v7 or later.. I've
    not seen your particular issue but I think Captivate was built with
    v7 in mind

  • What version of Crystal Reports do I need for ClickOnce Deployment VS2005?

    Hello,
    I have a Windows application that is currently being maintained in VS2005. Eventully we plan to upgrade to VS2008 but for now this is what we are using.
    I used the version of Crystal Reports that shipped with VS2005 to build some reports. Now I need to deploy them and I prefer to use ClickOnce. Some time ago, I checked into this process and only one specific version of Crystal could accomplish what I needed: CR XI R2.
    Now that Crystal 2008 has been released, I am curious if I can use it as a direct replacement for this package, or if it only supports ClickOnce on VS2008, or if there are any other deployment or version mismatch issues I need to be aware of. If CR XI R2 is still the only option I have for ClickOnce with VS2005, please let me know so I can buy that package instead.
    Thanks

    You can use click once with .NET 2005 and .NET 2008. Click once MSI is here:
    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100005986302008E/cr120_clickonce.zip
    CR XI r2 and CR 2008 are side by side compatible, so if you have apps using the two runtimes on the same computer, it should not be an issue.

  • What version of windows 7 do i need for my iMac?

    How do I figure out if I need 32bit or 64 Bit Windows 7 for running windows 7 professional on my I Mac? Ir does it matter?

    32 bit is not the "better choice". Your Apple computer is a 64 bit computer. Newer Windows programs are 64 bit. If you have more than about 3.5GB of RAM you must use 64 bit in order to address all your RAM. Windows 64 bit will run older programs written for 32bit systems.
    There is no reason to use 32bit and many reasons to use 64bit Windows.
