os 9 classic: Can I install os 9.2.1 on this computer without getting rid of os x 10.4.11?

Sadly you have to repartition your hard drive 2 partitions , MacOs 10.4 1st partition, Mac os 9.2.1 2nd partition classic as you said is not supported after 10 .3. Then after installing both you go system press and startup choose Mac os 9 or 10 ( 10.4 ) or hold X at start up an choose boot choice or try holding option key at boot

Yes, but remove all newer versions that are loaded as a trial copy on new computers.

The system requirements are as listed for OSX. OSX version 10.5.4 or higher is needed. This drive will not likely be supported by Apple devices during the boot process. Such as installing an OS.

No you don't - but if you are upgrading you could also upgrade to Win 7 or 8 OS

No. This is a package of native Mac OS X applications with a normal Mac installer.

This is an old question, but this seems like a good place to mention that if you buy one now, it has OS X Lion installed on it. At least, the one I received from amazon yesterday has OS X Lion. No need to download or buy it. On the other hand, it doesn't come with a set of dvds you can use to reinstall the OS.

No. Apple has not made a version of their OS for plain vanilla non-Apple computers.

No. You can install whatever version you purchase. Just make sure it's compatible with whatever OS youre running. But buying Avid MBox with PT 9, will get you an automatic upgrade to 9.6, then 10, plus free plug ins

Absolutely !!! and it is generally a free upgrade. I am running OSX10.9.5 and my iMac is a 2009

FROM WIKI: Support for pre-OS X Mac applicationsUnlike the Intel models, a G4 Mac Mini running Mac OS X 10.4 can run Mac OS 9 "Classic" applications, so long as a bootable copy of the OS 9 System Folder is installed from which to run the Classic environment. As of Mac OS X 10.5, the ability to run the Classic Environment was removed.

I'm sorry I'm not sure. I only have Windows 7 so I'm unsure how the experience on OS X is...or whether they can both be backed up simultaneously.

I've used the Kingston HyperX as an OS X 10.9.x and 10.10.x utility disk. Wish I had bought the 128, but still very usable with reasonable boot time.

Hello,I am sorry you will at least need a compute which can run Apple OsX 10.7 Lion. The Macbook you are looking at will only run up to OsX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. If you do an Amazon Search for ASIN B004FG793G, We have a computer for $199 which can upgrade to OsX 10.7 and below is a link if Amazon lets it through their filters.Thanks,NathanBetamacs Apple 13-Inch MacBook T7200 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, White

This says it is previously installed with OSX Snow leopard, Apple said since it was a 10.7 version it was OSX lion - how can you tell?

The default is 64 bit. However, we could install 32 bit OS per custoomer's request.

While I don't run another OS from it, I don't see why not? just hold down the "Option" key while booting and select it as the boot drive, but in truth I'd check with Apple's KB about running Boot Camp from an external drive.

You can't update on OS-X. I use them every day and found no issues with them straight out of the box.
