Where can I find downloads for Mac OS 7-9 (out of curiosity)

I briefly remember that apple offered Operating systems older than Mac OS X for download but I still can't find them. If you knows were to find Mac OS 7-9 please tell me at your earliest convenience.

Hi, glider -
Can you update Mac OS 7/8 straight to Mac OS 9?
Yes, on those machines rated by Apple for OS 9. You will need to acquire a retail OS 9 Install CD in order to do that - there are no download updates to take any version of OS 7 to any version of OS 8, nor any version of OS 8 to any version of OS 9. Each of those major-version jumps can be made only by using a retail OS Install CD; however, intermediate versions are not needed.
The best way to install a major-version jump is via a Clean Install. Note that a Clean Install (in Mac terminology) will not remove anything; instead, it installs a brand new System Folder, renames the old one to Previous System Folder, installs a new set of utility apps, and little else.
Article #58176 - Mac OS 8, Mac OS 9: Performing a Clean Installation
As far as suitability of OS 9 for an older machine, this Apple KBase article lists what OS versions (amongst the OS 8 and OS 9 families) are supported by Apple for which machines -

    It should be in /System/Library/Frameworks/
    10.6 update 3 deprecated that path, and since that Java update (if you've installed it) it would be

    not really sure about your question.
    Do you have the the iBooks App? You can download
    it for free from the App store on your iPhone. If you
    already have it your ahead of the game.
    Select iBooks, at the top right of the screen select Store.
    At the bottom right you can select Purchased to see a list
    of ePubs you have downloaded.
    Or select Search then select the search bar at top and type
    in a favorite title, author or maybe even free books.
    Hope this gets you started,

  • Have a serial number for Acrobat 9 Standard but need a download and can only find download for Pro version.

    I did a factory reset on my old laptop and lost my Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard. I have the serial number but need a download and can only find download for Pro version. When I enter my serial number (standard) into the Pro Installation it says the number is invalid. Any idea where I can download Standard version of 9? Thanks.

    Kimg68365882 did you purchase Acrobat 9 Standard from Adobe directly?  If so and you choose to download the software instead of receive a CD then please see Find a download link on Adobe.com.
    If you originally received the software on CD then please use a computer with an optical drive to copy the contents of the CD to a USB drive.

    This link has many pdf files but none has the useful information. Those pdf's are just 2 or 3 pages each.Sad Christmas for you then i suppose.
    Perhaps you could contact the vendor (quest) and get them to help you in your search for whatever it is you're looking for. An Oracle SQL and PL/SQL forum is not the venue for this, please mark the question as answered, and good luck in your search.

  • Where can I find drivers for Satellite L855-159?

    Hello!
    I am a recent owner of a brand new Toshiba Satellite L855-159 laptop.
    I cannot seem to find any drivers listed for it. i have download some drivers from similar series laptops, like the ethernet driver. That works fine on it, but i cannot seem to find a working wireless driver anywhere.
    I have tried the official toshiba page and the toshiba auto detect tool. It says it cannot find my product.
    I have also tried entering the serial no. manually and it gives me the same answer.... your product cannot be found or invalid serial no.
    (i have tried all versios of toshiba site, in many different languages)
    Only time my serial number worked is when i registered the laptop for warranty.
    So, i must say that it has been a pain to find the right drivers for my product, and it would not hurt to have a cd/dvd with drivers in the box with the laptop. i know it should be a better solution to have drivers online because you always get the newest version, but a dvd with drivers that always work for your laptop is necessary when the main site FAILS so badly at providing them.
    So please tell me... where can i find drivers for my laptop?

    Hi
    According notebook specification your notebook has part number PSKAEE and all drivers, tools and utilities for supported operating systems you can find on Toshiba support and download page - http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    Product type > Notebook
    Family > Satellite
    Product series > Satellite L Series
    Model > Satellite L855
    Short Model No. > PSKAEE
    Can you find it?

  • Where can I find/download the package that contains: OracleConnectionPoolD

    Hi,
    I have classes12.zip and can make successful database connections using Oracle's JDBC driver.
    However, when I tried to run a connection pooling example - from a text book (called "PooledExample.java") - I got the following error messages...
    C:\testdart\testdart\source>javac PooledExample.java
    PooledExample.java:5: package oracle.jdbc.driver does not exist
    import oracle.jdbc.driver.*;
    ^
    PooledExample.java:7: package oracle.jdbc.pool does not exist
    import oracle.jdbc.pool.*;
    ^
    PooledExample.java:15: cannot resolve symbol
    symbol : class OracleConnectionPoolDataSource
    location: class PooledExample
    OracleConnectionPoolDataSource poolDataSrc =
    ^
    PooledExample.java:16: cannot resolve symbol
    symbol : class OracleConnectionPoolDataSource
    location: class PooledExample
    new OracleConnectionPoolDataSource();
    ^
    4 errors
    Where can I find/download the package that contains these classes (I'm assuming that there missing)? Is it possible that JDBC 2.0 works for Oracle9i only? (I'm using Oracle8i)
    I looked on Oracle's website but its not clear where to download this API
    Thanks!!!

    They should be in classes12.zip (oracle.jdbc.driver definitely is). It sounds like you don't have classes12.zip in your classpath when you are compiling. Normally you don't use the Oracle classes directly so you only need classes12.zip when running your application but in your case you are directly referring to them in your Java source code so you need them when you compile.

  • Where can I get Safari for Mac OS X 10.4.11?

    Hello,
    Can anybody tell me where can I get Safari for Mac OS X 10.4.11?
    I looked in the Apple page but without any success... And other websites only have Tiger or Leopard version.
    Thank you in advance,
    Sandra Costa

    Welcome Costrasandra!
    Scroll to the very top of this page. See where it says 'Downloads' Click it. It will take you to Apples download page and right there on front is the download and info on Safari's latest version 3.1.2.
    actually... here: http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
    But I don't understand what you mean, MacOSX 10.4.11 IS Tiger.
