Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753). If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for: MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user) MB022Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack) Installing Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Installation and Setup Guide After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at The DVD should look like this Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

So here's my story since this is my first post. I'm definitely a noob when it comes to terminal commands and all of that stuff but I'm pretty handy with a computer and google and I have become best friends when it comes to DIY fixes.
Well, with the new iPad 2 coming out in 2 days and me, being a poor college student, having no money, I had to decide between my unibody macbook or the new iPad. Well I've never had an iPad so I decided to sell the macbook and save the cash for a new toy. Then I remembered I had to sync my ipad and iPhone 4 to something. That's when I bought the beautiful $100 iMac G4 with 700Hz and 768MB of RAM eek: below Leopard requirement) After realizing that my purchase was pretty much useless without leopard I spent 2 whole days trying to get my downloaded retail OS X 10.5.iso to install via External HD. Finally, after a million searches and no luck, leopardassist not working at all, attempting to figure out the terminal hacks to change the install dvd, and posting the G4 back up on craigslist, I figured it out! And now I'm here to help This has got to be by far the easiest way to install Leopard on an Unsupported mac.
With help from lowendmac.com and some tampering of my own, this worked like a charm. So here it is.this will make you want to pick up a G4 for decoration (they really do make nice lamps with the bright LCD) NOTE: this has only been tested on my iMac G4 with specs listed above. From what I read, it should work with any specs of most older macs.
What you need: Unsupported Mac of your choice running 10.4 I assume External HD with at least 8GB of space (0r some other USB drive) A copy of Leopard OS X 10.5 Install DVD (I don't care how you get it ) Disk Utility, A Keyboard, and Maybe a Pen and paper to write this down if it's your primary computer. Step 1: Open disk Utility and Restore your Install DVD disk Image to the external USB device of your choice. This is done by clicking the restore tab, Dragging the Install DVD disk image to the Source section, and the Destination will be your USB drive which can be dragged from the left column. Note: My USB was partitioned as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Step 2: after the Image is Restored to your USB drive click on the info button in disk utility to view the information for your Install DVD partition. Mine looked like this: Disk Identifier: disk1s3 Mount Point: /Volumes/Mac OS X Install DVD File System: Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Take note of the disk1s3!!! The '3' will come into play later.
Your number may be different. It's not my business how anyone gets their software I just care how I get mine. Also, it's not like I 'forgot' I had to sync my devices, I rarely do unless I'm jailbreaking, and I have a netbook pc I could use for that so it's not like I'd be stuck. This was meant to be informative so stop hating. Also, I replaced a Mac with a Mac and the iPad will be great for absolutely everything I need it for. Everyone is different.
No need to be so hostile. And yes, I WAS running 10.5.1 until I just updated.which went flawlessy. Please be respectful no need for your comments. And to whoever said I won't get any help here.I already got no help here and I wasn't looking for any, I was providing help. EDIT: and if you wanna make a comment about me Jailbreaking save it, I don't use pirated software on my iphone either, but I do like biteSMS, which I pay for, because it is a lot better than the iOS sms options. And Jailbreaking is legal. So much for welcoming someone to the forum.
OP, I for one welcome your post and there may come a day where the second iMac in my signature will thank you! Your method summed up here looks extremely simple and handy. Many thanks for posting it. I have to say, I don't believe I sensed any hostility from those that didn't 'love' your post, but there are those here who get quite defensive and up in arms over pirated software - which I also don't fiddle with for obvious reasons.
I personally have the same comment as you, though. I don't care who gets what and how they go about it. It's not my place to dictate, even if I don't condone it. In other news, I have a retail Leopard disk, and the older iMac I keep in my office is getting a little tired.
I missed Tiger when I upgraded my iBook, and now that I have it again on my iMac, I don't think I really missed it as much as I thought. That upgrade may happen soon. Your specs are nearly identical to mine, save 100mhz. Any considerable lag under Leopard doing light work? Click to expand.
Thanks for the positive responses I was wondering what kind of community this was going to be after that warm welcome I got. I'm glad to help. I spent more time than you could imagine just trying to figure out how to boot from USB in open firmware and everywhere that said how to do it was unclear and had a bunch of obviously unnecessary steps.
This method worked great and was a huge sigh of relief and hopefully helps anyone else in the same situation. Oh and I can't wait to get that new iPad. T This also inspired me to spend more time learning about Terminal Good luck to anyone else and thanks for the nice welcome you guys By the way, This was one of the way more difficult alternativeshttp://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?s=&goto=lastpost&threadid=371302.

Thanks for the kind welcome. I've been using leopard now for about 4 hours and it seems shocking snappy for this old dinosaur.
Every once in a while the stacks from the dock will show a little shadowing behind them because it's such an old graphics card but I'd say that you won't encounter any unexpected lag compared to tiger. I've noticed most things seem faster than tiger. Start up time remained the same also. I've really only run Safari, Itunes, and Mail.app at the same time as far as multiple apps open and I don't think I encountered the pinwheel at all, which is kind of frustrating because my macbook that I sold with 2GHz and 4MB of Ram showed the pinwheel plenty of times. I read somewhere, and I wish I could find it now, that you should turn off the 3D dock effects and change some other settings to have it run better with the graphics card but honestly it's been running find without any modification.
I haven't tried watching videos of any sort on it yet but like I said, I'm getting an iPad, that will be my main video watching source, along with the 22 inch screen I can connect it to. Best of luck, I highly recommend it! And as I mentioned, the update to 10.5.8 went perfectly, and then another update becomes available to get the latest Itunes and Safari and some other things and that went perfectly as well. Just synced my iPhone for with its 8 year old cousin and all went well.
No complaints here thus far. I'll keep you updated on any quirks. Click to expand. Click to expand.So, in my case, where I'm booting from an external hard drive regardless, leopard assist did not work, even though when the computer would boot after leopard install denied the system requirements the about this mac would show '867Mhz'. So leopardassist was doing its part but for some reason (I don't know enough about it) it was still not working. I'm not sure why I care what you say, but this method was Ridiculously easy. For anyone who wants to boot from a USB the restoring in disk utility is necessary, getting the info takes one click and writing down 'disk1s3', you type,literally, 4 lines into OF, and bam you're done.
Sounds pretty simple to me, I just tried to be thorough in my explanation. THere was nothing complicated about my mess.

Youtube definitely isn't a fan of leopard but I also don't have any way to compare it to tiger because I never tried it on there. I'd imagine the results are similar but you get perfect sound but miss about 1/2 of the frames of the video.
Also, I read a lot of people having a white screen when waking from sleep, I tested this multiple times today and last night and never had any problems. Opens up right to the screen very quickly. And to clarify, my graphics card is: Chipset Model: GeForce2 MX Type: Display Bus: AGP VRAM (Total): 32 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0110 Revision ID: 0x00b2 ROM Revision: 1057.008.1 I also put the 'applications' folder on the dock and opening as a grid wasn't too smooth so I changed that to 'list' with no problems whatsoever and i'm still using the 3D dock without a hitch.

I tried this solution with my powermac but never managed to get it working so tried a 'insane' thing: Formated my powermac drive in Apple Partition Map.
Here's the deal. I recently came into possession of a PowerMac G5, which came running Panther (10.3.4). According to those that I got it from, It was originally running Leopard, but as the rest of the systems that were being used with it were running Panther, The computer was downgraded. Now, as I am wanting to reverse this so I can get better use out of this computer, I find myself quite. I Have a.DMG of Leopard on an NTFS Hard-drive attached to my Windows 7 Workstation, but as the hard drive is NTFS, I cannot simply just plug it into my PowerMac and expect it to work (Doing this actually crashes the computer, but thats another thing). Apple won't let me update to 10.3.9 either, as Panther is no longer in support, so I really don't have any way of getting NTFS support to access this drive, as it currently stands (NTFS Read/Write support was introduced in 10.3.9). I Have tried putting the.DMG on a flash drive as well, but it is just under 7 GB in size, and the only file system accessible by both Mac and Windows is FAT32, which has a 4GB File size cap, Meaning that I can't move the.DMG via flash drive.
Normally I would format my flash drive to the exFAT file system, which could hold this file, but support for this file system was only added in the Intel versions of OS X. I've Also attempted burning the.DMG from my windows computer, as I was advised by many, but after about 2 hours wasted in PowerISO and 3 now-broken DVD+R dual-layer Disks, I'm still nowhere. Any suggestions to getting this PowerMac of mine upgraded? I'm rather reluctant to purchasing a disk copy of Leopard from Ebay or Amazon, due to the cost probably totaling around 100 dollars, which I do NOT have right now. Provided I had a method of getting the.DMG onto my Mac from my Windows Workstation, I could burn it to a disk using Disk Utility, but again, provided that there is a way to move the.DMG in the first place. Thanks in advance. That machine is at least a decade old.
Are you setting it up for an exhibit at the Computer History Museum? By Moore's Law, that machine is probably 1/128th as powerful as a modern Mac Pro, and yet it takes the same amount of electricity to run. It's really not very green to run a machine that old, and in fact probably isn't worth the electricity cost.
If you just wanted to experience a Mac for cheap, buy a used 2013 or 2012 Mac mini. Don't waste time on a machine that came out before most people had heard of Wikipedia. – Mar 2 '14 at 7:48.
One possibility would be to split the disk image into two smaller (FAT32 compatible) files, move those to the Mac, rejoin them, and burn that. It looks like would work for splitting on the windows side, and rejoining on the Mac side should just be a matter of using the Terminal command cat. If you had a FAT32 volume named 'DOSVOL' containing the installer as 'Leopard.dmg.001' and 'Leopard.dmg.002', this should join them and put the result on your desktop: cat /Volumes/DOSVOL/Leopard.dmg. /Desktop/Leopard.dmg BTW, a warning: OS X installers generally come in two flavors: generic (which'll work on any Mac that version of OS X supports), and model-specific (which will refuse to run on anything but the specific model they were built for, but include all the bundled software for that model). If the installer is 7GB, it's probably one that includes bundled software and won't work unless it's for the particular model of PowerMac G5 you have.
You can bypass a this havok and don't get a Mac but in are cases were suckers. Download Ubuntu mint whatever make it into a bootable disk. There is a program that Kaspersky uses to scan roots forgot the name look it up “use it to make the boot disk or is boot. Put that in your CD ROM or you can use USB now partition the drive is needed.
Rons cyborg parts rar files. If you're going to download osx from good old apple then you're going to have to connect to an open DNS so Google DNS or opendns you're going to have to set your router up to connect to the DNS 8.8.4.4 just use a old router if you have one. Then hold optional R it will get the original os for the Mac. And then go through steps. Make sure to wipe the vram data cha, Not fun try figuring it out! You need help let me know. Donates always help I do work on this junk a lot I also write freeware.

But a pop up shows up that says 'mac OS X cannot be upgraded to v10.5on your computer'. 'macOS x v10.4 or later could not be found on your computer' with an ok button as the only choice.
This time I started the computer with the external hard drive that I transferred everything to turned off. Clicked ok now the 'more information' button is highlighted and the continue button is grayed out. Nothing under more information appears to apply to my situation. Only choice is to go back when I do that then choose language pops up I hit the continue button to get back to the spot mentioned above. Help is greatly appeciated. Agregar un comentario.

Computer: 2009 MBP 13'. HDD: WD 500GB. I got to Step 16, but I was unable to click continue so that I could install the iLife applications disc. It did nothing, the cursor would move but I was unable to click. I tried pressing enter and nothing, I had to eventually do a hard shut down. It rebooted fine and went through the whole new set up like it was a brand new computer, but I didn't get to install the iLife applications.
I have tried putting the disc in, but it just keeps ejecting it. There is no App Store application available, only iTunes.I didn't have the install discs for the 13', but did for the 2010 15' MBP and used that. BB - Agregar un comentario. This Mac OS X Install Guide is really outdated.
When using a Recovery disk to install Mavericks, OS X just told me it couldn't install Mavericks. Didn't tell me why, it just told me it couldn't do it. I did something like this: 1. Get a USB or Firewire HD enclosure.
Use the iFixit HD Replacement Guide to put your new HD into your iMac and put your old HD into the enclosure. Plug in the enclosure and its USB or firewire cable to your iMac.
Hold down the option key on your keyboard and turn on your iMac. When it boots, it should recognize your old HD in the enclosure and give you the option to boot from that drive. Select that drive. It's just like booting when the drive was still in the iMac but maybe a little slower.
Now go to the App Store and Download and install Mavericks. You'll need to select 'Show all Disks'. You may need to use Disk Utility to format or erase your new HD if it doesn't show up. Use Migration Assistant to transfer apps and data from your old HD to your new HD in the iMAC. I think what's Happening Here is a lot of people aren't formatting drive before hand.
Old drive dies new one pop in and your good. This is not the case Mac, Kaspersky uses a tool to allow you to make a bootable disk from your usb for your Mac or your PC. Use the tool that used because there are a lot of viruses out there.
That what you want to do since you don't want to rip your Mac apart is download Ubuntu ISO file learning is a bootable ISO you can use FAT32. Once you do that put it in the USB drive boot from the USB. Sorry forgot to stop you need to get rid of your vram clear option RVP or something. Next is booted off the USB having its command option r. Now you want to format Drive using Ubuntu.
Yes Ubuntu free where is more powerful that are Mac OS X and it's free. Now you have to remember using a Mac which is a Linux machine and it's grub so the file extension is htls.
Firefox For Mac Os X 10.5.8
Grub you do not format NTFS. Set that router up to connect to an open DNS so where it says DNS connection you want to use Google DNS OpenDNS Mike's DNS ect Google DNS in OpenDNS are the best. And then you have to hold command-r and it now will allow you to connect to get the file.
Once that gets the file it'll start the installation process your screen will turn white let it turn white holdzkom and wipe out the vram again reboot redo it and your set. And now if you're still having problems do a hardware check I think that's holding the just hold D at start up. Keep hope alive. You guys can donate for all my time put into this BS very awesome even $0.10 a penny anything be better than nothing kapsol101@yahoo is my email and PayPal if you have problems just email me now I'm always here to help. Unless I die like Steve Jobs did cuz karma's a bch. I have a MacBook Early 2009 A1181 Model.
Just ordered a SSD from Amazon, and have all of my stuff backed up on the external hard drive I use for backing up. I still have all of my installation CDs, but want to make sure of the tools I need for this. I know I take the battery out, and that metal cover in that area, but for my Mac I'm not sure if it would be the same tools since it is older than what you guys have. Also, one quick question, can I change the processor in this? I will be switching out the ram soon, likely after tax season, but I want to get a faster processor if possible. Thought that I would add this comment in case someone has similar situation.
MBP late 2011 replaced HD with SSD (Samsung 850 EVO). The angle on the install was that my Time Machine and Old HD were encrypted. When encrypted (Time Machine and CCC clone of drive), the Recovery HD is not setup (not sure details, perhaps this is how encryption works). Either way, setting up a bootable Install USB drive (8 gig minimum for Yosemite) was necessary. Sequence was full backup (I did both Time Machine and CCC to be sure)., create bootable USB installer drive (Google it, I used the Disk Utility method). Sangeetha bala padam english book pdf. Shut Down, Reboot with Command-R, plug in USB drive, format new disk, load Yosemite from USB to new disk, then shut down, Restart with Command-R, then load Time Machine backup.
The clean Yosemite install setup the Recover Partition on new drive and the files copied from Time Machine restored system to original state without messing with newly created Recovery partition. Then encrypt new drive and you are done.
