And if your install disc was bundled with an Intel Mac, you can’t use it to install on a PPC Mac. LeopardAssist attempts to help users install Mac OS X Leopard on older, unsupported systems by tricking Open Firmware into believing the system has an. Remember that, in all cases, you may need to get ahold of an external DVD drive if your older Mac can’t read DVDs. At some point it seems Id deleted and lost. Since I heard that LeopardAssist was still being actively used over on the MacRumors forums, I decided to revisit the source code and see if there was anything that could be done with it. You can consult this compatibility list for installing OS X on pre-G3 systems…but that might be more trouble than it’s worth. A little something that may be of use to the 68kMLA community. (The newer G3s in blue cases will do better than the older ones in beige.) To install, use a utility called XPostFacto. G3s can manage at least OS X 10.2 Jaguar, and some can run Panther it varies depending on the model. Then click the X that appears on the left upper corner of LeopardAssist 3.0 to perform the uninstall. Click and hold LeopardAssist 3.0 icon with your mouse button until it starts to wiggle.


Open up Launchpad, and type LeopardAssist 3.0 in the search box on the top. If LeopardAssist also fails, you might have to use an earlier version of OS X. Option 2: Delete LeopardAssist 3.0 in the Launchpad. Otherwise, you’ll need a utility called LeopardAssist to force an install. It should install without trouble on machines 867MHz and over.
Leopardassist drivers#
Only requirement is to be OS 10.5.8 to load the drivers for the printer. They also sell RAM, video cards, and other parts for older Macs. Given a G4 533mhz with 10.4.11, used the hack LeopardAssist to install 10.5.8 which is running great it clocked the process to 933mhz so 10.5 could be installed. Low End Mac explains the various issues involved in detail. Certain older machines have genuine issues preventing them from running OS X without hardware modifications–but for more recent Macs, especially G4s, it’s more likely that Apple just has an incentive to get you moving on to new hardware. similar problem, but connected to the use of LeopardAssist (program to bring 450MHz-Sawtooth on 10.3.9 to Leopard) thats what happened: i downloaded LeopardAssist, which should basically only tell the Leopard-DVD that it is running on a 867MHz-machine. LeopardAssist can help in the process of installing OS X 10.5 Leopard on machines that did not meet the minimum system requirement of an 867MHz or faster. If you have an older Mac running OS 9 and earlier, it might complain if you attempt to upgrade it to OS X.
