Where can I get a copy of MAC OSX 10.4 to install?

I am trying to install Maya 6 on my mac and I get the error that my computer is too new... where can I get a copy of MAC OSX 10.4 to install? I have an old powerPC that I could put this on instead of my newer computer. My company does not have to resources to upgrade the copy of Maya at the moment, so this is my best option.

Tiger install DVDs are in short supply. Tiger is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available for $129 by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753). For other sources, do a Google search for MA453Z/A (10.4.6), MA190Z/A (10.4.3) and M9639Z/A (10.4) . Also look on eBay. Be sure & buy a retail version (black with silver X) and not a model specific version (gray) See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1976068 Can I use another Mac's system restore disc on my Mac?
Also check these web stores: http://www.lacomputercompany.com/cgi-bin/rpcart/index.cgi?command=dispitem&type= sku&sku=19521  http://www.allmac.com/shop/index.php?cPath=5_10003
Possible Alternative if you are currently using Panther 10.3 – Do a Google search for Tiger 10.4 Upgrade DVD. It will upgrade your 10.3 to 10.4, but it doesn’t contain the full retail Tiger installer. Should be cheaper than the retail Tiger install DVD.
After you install the base 10.4.x, update to the final Tiger version 10.4.11. Here's the link for the 10.4.11 combo update http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Look at this link Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger Installing Software Support Page
http://www.apple.com/support/tiger/install/
You can also download the Tiger Installation and Setup Guide
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/Tiger_Install_Setup_Guide.pdf
When you upgrade the OS, do it via Archive & Install. See About the Archive and Install feature http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710 Be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings. Also, repair permissions before and after the install.

  • Where can i get a copy of MAC OS X 10.3

    where can i get a copy of MAC OS X 10.3 I am refurbishing my Power PC Imac and have misplaced my old disc's..Thanks

    eBay.  You should get a "retail" copy (which came on three CDs not one DVD), black with a big silver X.  Don't get a copy that came with a particular Mac model (grey color), unless it happens to be the disc that came with your particular Mac model.
    You may want to consider getting Tiger (10.4) instead, if your Mac supports it.  Tiger provides better software compatibility with more recent applications, compared to Panther.
    If your Mac is a G4 or G5, 867 Mhz or faster, with at least 512mb of RAM, Leopard (10.5) is also supported.
    NOTE:  Leopard does not have "Classic" mode for running Mac OS 9 apps.  Tiger (and earlier) does.

  • Where can I get a copy of Mac OS 10.5 ?

    I want to upgrade my (PowerPC) iMac G5 to Mac OS 10.5, it is running 10.4.11.
    I can't find an upgrade on the Apple website, does anyone know where I can get hold of some disks to upgrade from 10.4 to 10.5 ?
    Thanks in advance....

    Hi: I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard 10.5 by purchasing on E-bay. when I called the Apple
    store here in CT that it what they suggested. Got a good buy...made an offer of $80. He probably would have accepted less!
    If you reply I can get you the ebay "handle" of the person I purchased from.

    Your best bet is to call Apple and order it, you can find the phone number in the online store in your country. However if your machine is able to run 10.6 I would recommend upgrading to that. Because Snow Leopard is current you can buy it from anyone that sells Apple products such as Apple, Amazon etc. Leopard (10.5) is more difficult to locate though. You can get the phone number by logging into Apple's online store and you will see the number in the upper left of the screen. If you decide to get Snow Leopard instead you can also buy it from the online store, it's $29.00

    In the "Downloads" area of the Apple store account used to purchase the key if bought within the last 18 months. After 18-months Apple deletes this information and it is up to you to maintain proper storage of the key data.

  • Where can I get a copy of elements 8 for mac

    Suddenly, when I try to open Elements 8 for Mac I get the message, "Licensing for this product has stopped working." I tried repairing it using Support's nine suggested solution. None worked.
    I no longer have my original DMG file I downloaded (don't ask me why). I do have the serial number in my Adobe account so I can install and run another copy. But, I need a copy. Where can I get one without paying a second time for it?
    I'm happy with PSE 8 and feel no pressing need to upgrade. I just want back what I had before this sudden development.
    Thanks.
    Terry

    I really appreciate the link. Unfortunately, it says a copy is no longer available for Mac OSX. Do you know if I can still get one somewhere else from Adobe? It's their product that failed me. I'm going to switch to Acorn, a nice low-priced full featured PSE alternative. I already use Lightroom for my photography but need graphic design capabilities for my website, business cards, etc. 
    Thanks.

  • Where can I get a copy of "Find My Friends" to load on a iPhone 4 that can only run iOS 7.0.2?

    The App "Find My Friends" in the app store is ver 4.0.1 which requires iOS 8.0.1.
    I wish to load onto an iPhone 4 that can only run iOS 7.1.2
    Where can I find a copy of "Find My Friends" ver 3 ?

    I believe I have found the answer myself ... but it might help other people with this and similar Apps.
    Apple has a work around for older devices.
    Download the latest app to your computer with iTunes.
    Then log into the store with your device and select purchased.
    Find the app(s) for iOS7 you downloaded to iTunes and then select install. If an older version (i.e. iOS6) is available it will download.
    Cheers!

  • How/Where can I purchase a copy of Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion"?

    How can I purchase a copy of Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion"? I need it to upgrade a Mac Pro 1,1 running Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard"? Thanks.

    FWIW:
    http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords=MacPro1,1* shows specs for MacPro 1.1.
    According to http://support.apple.com/kb/SP629 Lion can run on a Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor.
    According to http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/ Mtn Lion requires Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer).

  • Old ipod updater ... where can I get a copy?

    I had asked this question in a previous post but received no replies so I though I would try again.
    I am (like lots of others) having problems with my ipod and itunes 5 and the new ipod updater.
    I was hoping to download an old ipod-updater - say Feb or June of 2005 and try using it instead of the new one.
    Does anyone know where I could find this? I have found a czech version but I can't install it on my powerbook without changing my computers language to czech, which I don't want to do!
    Thanks for any help! Even if someone mailed me the .dmg file that would be great (or post it on a web site somewhere)
