I wipe out my Mac HD IBook G4 1.2 GHz, and have no original installation disk. Will this copy of Apple Mac OS x will help me to get it back again?

Yes, as long as you have the hard drive space, and enough RAM: "To use Mac OS X v10.4, your Macintosh needs: A PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor Built-in FireWire At least 256 MB of RAM DVD drive (DVD-ROM), Combo (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) or SuperDrive (DVD-R) for installation At least 3 GB of free disk space."

No. I'm running OSX snow leopard on a mac book pro and it doesn't show up. It is as useful for burning as a brick. 8/16/14

Yes. Bear in mind that the pre-2010 iMac models do not have an add-on option if I recall correctly, meaning that you will have to completely replace your previous HDD (or SSD if you had previously replaced it). If you are confused about the installation process, here is a great link that gives an overview of the steps necessary: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=842548 Likewise, it never hurts to check with the manufacturer since they are the ones who give you your warranty on products. Check with Mac and/or Crucial tech support if you have any specific technical questions that you may have.

It did come with any Mac OS Disk. The MacBook arrived fully configured. However, you can get the necessary OS compatible with your MacBook Model from Apple Store.

Yes. If you have not replaced a drive on a mac before, you may want to take a look at this or other tutorials first to make sure you have the right tools on hand, and how to back up your old HD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfiGF_pjqvM

I have purchased 2 macs from Amazon with no problems, both were new non refurb units. Just make sure you buy it from Amazon and not an Amazon reseller

I own a Mac Ibook which is pretty old and it is amazing. I just throw stuff at it and it takes it and keeps it safe. It doesn't make almost any noise and runs automatically. I haven't stored games but I am pretty sure this can work for both things and even to load a full operating system from it if you ever get a mac. Its so much space I only have used like 2GB. This is the best out there, I recommend it.

I don't have experience with MAC. However, I am having issues currently with the system. A cloud change was made and all my records are missing. Not very excited about it at this time.

Yes, you can. However, if you're NOT downloading digitally, if you still use discs to download, you're going to have to purchase Apple's USB Superdrive, or, similar device. The new iMac's do NOT have a optical disc drive. I hope that helps.

Upon purchasing my computer, the specs show "Mac OS X v10.5.6" as my OS. So, I am wondering if there is some information that is screwed up. All I know is my computer came with Snow Leopard on it, and I upgraded it to Mavericks. Let me find the seller of my Mac. I will forward that information to you. They may be able to help you better than I. Upon searching for the seller of my computer, I didn't seem to locate anything other than their name: The Mac Toy Store. I am pretty sure you can Google the name and find their contact information. They were super helpful throughout my purchase. Good luck!!!

Did you go to their website? Go there and check to see if they have mac software download?

I did not get a disk with the mac because there is no drive built into the newer imacs. I transferred everything from my old imac so ilife must have transferred to the new imac i.e. I do not know if it was already loaded or transferred.

Um, if you're talking about a MacBook, I haven't upgraded, just thinking about what it would be like if I wanted to.With the iBook, it went okay given that I knew I was in for a lot of headachy, scary detail work when I started. I only broke one connector (speakers) and managed to reconnect those wires. I get my hard drives from http://www.macsales.com . I have bought other replacement parts from iFixit.The iBook fix definitely voids your warranty. The MacBook drive replacement is so easy I'm sure it does not void the warranty.

pretty sure the answer is yes. the mimiting factor isn't necessarily the hardware, but snow leopard. Instructions for boot from a thumb drive are here:http://www.maketecheasier.com/create-mac-snow-leopard-usb-installer-disk/the HD should also work.

If you take the first generation MacBook Air to the apple store, they can reset it back to its factory settings for a fee. The original MacBook Air comes with snow leopard so if you do not upgrade the software, you will be left with the old operating system (OS) that you want. This would be the only way to go about it being that apple only sells its newest products. Snow leopard is no longer available for download from the App Store. However, this does not necessarily mean that snow leopard is no longer obtainable. The pirate bay and other sources may have the software available for download for any apple computer.

Honestly, You have a out-dated machine...I had a G4 about 4-5 yrs ago... Nevertheless, I'm glad it still works for you though! From my experience, the technology from the g-drive is equipped with 400 firewire, but at times it does not boot-up the G-Drive my imac desktop - but does boot-up to my Macbook pro laptop.. However, when I attach a usb drive to the imac it pops on my desktop in an instant. I think the best option will your computer will be using usb / fire 400. However, call an Apple to really make sense of this.The combination 400/800 drives are too advanced... for your computer. Hope I helped out.
