Will Mac OS X Tiger work on an eMac?

Presently using OSX 10.9.3- works fine. But, purchased an iPod and requires OSX 10.4- looked everywhere on Apple site- no luck- Leopard keeps showing up. Fine. Would purchase Leopard but the minimum requirement indicated is 867-MHz. Does anyone know if this would still work on my eMac? If not, would Apple still sell the Tiger version?

Leopard won't work on your eMac. You'll need Tiger. If you have a DVD drive you can find Tiger easily on eBay and other places. If you don't have a DVD drive, you'll either need to get an external FireWire DVD drive, or look online for the CD version of Tiger (good luck).

  • Will Mac X 10.3 work on old Emac?

    I have a an old emac with Mac OS X 10.2.8
    However, i need to put 10.3 or higher on and just wondered whether it would work?
    Emac
    1Ghz PowerPC G4
    Memory 512 MB Ram
    Hard Drive currently have 60G left
    Will it work?

    Short answer: yes.
    If you're upgrading, might as well do to 10.4 since that eill be supported longer than 10.3. You'll need the retail (black label) Tiger Install DVD (assuming you have at combo or superdrive, internal or external). Model-specific (grey label) OS X Install discs may not include to full set of drivers needed for a particular computer and can cause strange problems. 512MB RAM will run either 10.3 or 10.4 although you may want to upgrade to 640 MB or more (your model will take up to 1 GB) using Crucial as a reference and eMac - Do-It-Yourself for RAM installation instructions.
    There's a handy upgrading checklist at Gulliver - OS X System maintenance. After upgrading, you'll likely need the OS X Update Combo 10.4.9 (PPC) and to use Software Update to gather various security and application updates.
    One thing to be aware of: some of the 10.4 upgrades may boot the computer twice after installing. That is, you run the update, it finished the 'optimizing system' stage, restarts, you get to the grey screen / white Apple logo, and then the computer restarts again. This is normal. Also, the first startup after an OS update can take significantly longer than usual; don't interrupt the computer by trying to cycle the power or turn it off at this point! Subsequent updates will be faster than usual.
    Don't forget to update any third-party utilities you have, especially anythin that adds on to the menubar or that's a disk utility program of any kind (see e.g. Only use Mac OS X 10.4-compatible disk utilities with Mac OS X 10.4 volumes).
    The bump from 10.2.8 to 10.4.x will give you a pronouncedly more responsive feeling computer. It's well worth the effort!

  • What brand does Mac OS X Tiger work on?

    Does Mac OS X Tiger work on any desktops besides apple? If so what are they? I am impressed by TIGER but not as much by the apple computers. I would really apprecieate any help u can give me on this.

    "Does Mac OS X Tiger work on any desktops besides apple?"
    Nope. Never has, never will....well, "probably never" anyway...

  • Will mac and pc software work together?

    I have Protools that I like with mac, but on my pc, I have a quantum leap program that will only work on windows. Can I operate protools on mac and have the pc program talk to it?

    You should probably contact the makers of ProTools and ask them.

    Just got a new imac and my iwork software wont work. I have the serial numbers but after migrating from my old mac running OSX tiger it won't even give me that opportunity. I do not have any discs as this was downloaded. Help

    Hi, hopefully you guys can help me out, I just
    purchased a G5 iMac to replace my aging dell desktop,
    and now i'm more or less completely os x dependant
    (I've had an ibook for a few months now). Anyway, I
    have a few questions:
    1. Does anyone know of a (free) mail notifier tool,
    that will alert me when I recieve new pop3 mail? I
    used to use AIM for this in windows
    The built in email program does sound an alert for new messages.
    2. Anyone know of a good (free, again) IRC client?
    iChat works well.
    3. I noticed earlier that my screen was flickering,
    it seems to have subsided for now, but is that normal
    to encounter in a new display? It wasn't really bad
    flicker, but I could see it.
    No idea.
    4. I leave my desktops on 24/7x365, will that be a
    problem with this iMac? Display shuts off of course
    after 30 mins
    You could set the iMac to go to sleep after non use. My Macs are
    always sleeping when not in use, waking them up takes seconds.
    Unlike windoze, never knew if it would be locked up or not.
    5. Should I get the extended warranty? I'm usually
    against them, but I am expecting this computer to
    last me at least 3 years (for $1300 it better!)
    before I upgrade, as I got that much out of a Dell
    and from what I understand, Mac's do not age nearly
    as fast as Windows pc's.
    It is well worth the cost. Never know what might happen. Also
    it is good insurance for future upgrades. I traded in my G4 tower
    purchased two years ago for 75% of what I paid for it. Apple care
    transfers, giving the buyer the remainder of your warranty.
    Thank you for any help,
    -Evan

  • What specific technology are older macs bluetooth missing that will not allow handoff to work?

    What specific technology are older macs bluetooth (that is built in) missing that will not allow handoff to work? Will apple allow people to buy third party bluetooth 4.0 to allow it to work?

    Well, with a PPC Mac you can upgrade as far as Firefox 3.6.19 if you upgrade from Tiger OSX 10.3.9 to Leopard OSX 10.5, but Firefox doesn't support PPC architecture in the latest Firefox 4, 5, and 6.0 versions.
    For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4.0 & 5.0, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    But, you still need to carefully investigate if your hardware specs are sufficient for either Firefox 3.6.19 or for 10-4Fox.

  • Will new Intel macs support OSX Tiger?

    I work in a testing environment and I need to setup another Tiger computer. We have a few intel macs that have tiger. I need to get another machine and set it up with Tiger. If I purchased a new iMac or mac mini, is there a release of Tiger that will run on these PCs? Also, I have been trying to look for a retail release of Tiger that supports Intel processors. Was a product like this ever shipped?
    Thanks.
    Kelly

    kelly, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Macs can only run an OS version that they shipped with or a higher version. So if you are looking at a new Mac that has Leopard installed, it can't run Tiger. You'll have to buy an older Mac.
    You can look at this list of G4 & G5 Mac's specs to find which newest-older model will run on Tiger. http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/index.html

  • Will this Retail Tiger Work With iBook G4?

    I'm getting an iBook G4 1.33 and I have a retail copy of Tiger 10.4 I want to use with it. It just says Mac OS X Tiger, Includes Xcode 2, Install DVD, Version 10.4, 2Z691-5305-A. I need either 10.4.2 or 10.4.4, how do I tell if this DVD will work with it?

    Is this iBook G4 the same 2004 model in your earlier post, re: AirPort card?
    The 'mid-2005' iBook G4 12"/14" 1.22GHz/1.42GHz models initially shipped
    with a Tiger 10.4.2 version, build 8D37. Later they shipped 10.4.4, build 8G32.
    Those DVD versions would be build-specific to their respective introductions.
    If you have an iBook G4 from 2004, the retail Tiger 10.4 disc should work; a
    2004 iBook didn't ship with Tiger 10.4, instead it had a 10.3 Panther version.
    You may be able to cross-check via serial number information on a web page
    to check the build, or see what MacTracker says, in collaboration with what
    your computer has for configuration specs and info on its case.
    The iBook G4 appreciates as much RAM installed as possible, too.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Running mountain lion os 10.8.5 on mac book pro mid 2012 build.  If I upgrade to Mavericks will MS Office programs still work?

    I am running mountain lion os 10.8.5 on mac book pro mid 2012 build.  If I upgrade to Mavericks will MS Office programs still work?  There does not appear to be an updated version of MS Office for Mac past 2011 that I bought last year and am using now.  Thoughts? Suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Office 2008 and 2011 will run on Mavericks, but you may not be able to get the installer for it at this time.

    I need to work on Adobe Premiere on my 2013 Mac Book Pro (with thunderbolt port) and display it on my 2010 iMac (with Mini DisplayPort) using Target Display Mode (TDM). I tried using a thunderbolt cable plus Option F2, but it didn't work. Will a Mini Display cable work? Any other suggestions?
