Leopard: older computers: Will Leopard run on those, or are they too old?

If your systems match or super exceed the system requirements stated below, then both of your mac machines will more than likely run the new Leopard Operating System. I hope this post helps MAC OS X Leopard System Requirements:  Processor must be any Intel, PowerPC G5 or G4 (at 867 MHz or faster)  DVD drive (for installation of the operating system)  Built-in FireWire  At least 512 MB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended for development purposes)  A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card  At least 9 GB of disk space available

PPC only. 10.6 (Snow Leopard) was the first only Intel and 10.5 (Leopard) ran on both Intel and PPC. Some Macs shipped with Tiger, but had slightly different disks that won't work on other models. Hope this helps.

As long if your applications will run in OS/X Mountain Lion. Make sure you have all the inputs needed.

I just received my MacBook today, and was disappointed to find that it had tiger installed, not leopard. I was under the impression that leopard would already be in it. looks like I would have to pay another $100-plus to purchase it. If you have any luck from Amazon, please let me know.

Mac OS 10.6 or newer - I have been using it with Lion for 18 months with no issues.

Yes, just make sure that you update to OSX Lion. This specific laptop may be slow,but here are the requirementsMac SystemsComputer: Avid-qualified Apple computer (see details)System Software (32 or 64-bit) Mac OS X 10.6.7 (Snow Leopard) through 10.7.4 (Lion)Total System RAM: 4GB minimum, 8GB (or more) recommended

I had a similar bad experience with installing Mavericks on a similar iMac. While the additional memory was helpful, I don't think the newer OSs are exactly compatible with legacy models; we had overheating and random shutdown issues. We eventually rolled back to Snow Leopard and it's been much better since.

Nope. Unfortunately it only comes with Snow Leopard and doesn't support anything later than it. I'm sure hackers will find a way of making it run, though.

I just got my MBP. It had 10.4 Tiger but iLife 08. I ordered Leopard through Apple for ten bucks.

You can install it without need for Tiger, Leopard, etc. I think that legally, you should have Tiger or Leopard to install Snow Leopard, but I wouldn't recommend upgrading over an existing system. It's OK if you don't have iLife or iWork, as when I bought my Mac over three years ago (had Tiger) that didn't have serial number for iWork, and so I'd assume that any 'bonus' software like that you'd have to pay for anyway. Hope this helps. Don't use Time Machine--just copy all your important documents and whatever else to the other drive manually. That's what I do. I don't trust backup programs (many people don't--I've read some horror stories in the past on data loss).

The lowest OS it will run on is 10.3, and a G4/G5 power pc. See what generation PowerPC you are. It'll be slow on an iBook, I have it running on an 07 Mac mini with intel processor and it runs smooth for the most part, but it's does use a lot of ram and lags a bit at those times.

No. OS 10 will only run versions 12 & 13. I just went through this on my Macs.

With the right install MAC should be fine. I have a local guy I use to do all things re: my computer. That way it's sure to be correct. Tangy

Absolutely, you shouldn't have any problems using this drive with Leopard. I've used this drive with the last three operating systems without any issues.

Yes. I have an iMac desktop and run Mac OSX 10.9 operating system. You will not be disappointed if you purchase this product.

No, this is a 2005 model. The newest OS it will run is Leopard. Some of mine are loaded with 10.5.8 Leopard. Plus loaded with apps, Office, Photoshop, iLife, and more. Please see my listings by clicking "see sellers' offer" below.

I have OS 10.7.5 so it will run on your system. This is a hard drive so I don't think that the system matters.
