I can't install from an OS 9 disk other than the one that comes with the machine because it gives an error when I try to run the installer. Installing OS 9.2.2 from the install disk for the computer gives me a version of the system that is obviously only classic-mode compatible-no networking, no TCP/IP, no audio ability whatsoever (obviously, it would be relying on OS X to do all that). So I'll just install OS 9 and away we'll go. My daughter wants to play Baldur's Gate and some Mia Mouse games that only run in OS 9.
Mac OS 9 was fully functional-internet connectivity through Mozilla some control over sound (although it was a bit buggy) full networking and you could run anything, like graphics intensive games that wouldn't run worth crap in the classic mode of OS X.Īt any rate, so I get a decent replacement hard drive, install 10.5.8 on it, replace the PRAM battery, and it's working fine.
Previous to this, I had my G4 tower able to dual-boot into Mac OS X or Mac OS 9.2.2. Also-in a cosmic instance of murphy's law-my external G-drive backup goes tits up at the exact same time!!! Major crap. The apps you use to surf the web, read your mail, send messages, and organize your files and content have a simpler, more elegant look, and we’ve enhanced them with powerful new features.A few months ago, my G4 Quicksilver with mirrored drive doors goes belly up-bad hard drive. In OS X Yosemite, those apps give you new ways to do some of the things you do most. One of the best things about a Mac is that it comes loaded with state-of-the-art, beautifully designed apps you’ll love to use every day.
Even activate your iPhone hotspot without ever taking your iPhone from your pocket or bag.ĭo everyday things in extraordinary ways. Start an email, edit a document, or surf the web on one device and pick up where you left off on another. Make and receive phone calls without picking up your iPhone. Because now OS X and iOS 8 enable brilliant new features that feel magical and yet make perfect sense. Use them together, and you can do so much more. Use a Mac or an iOS device, and you can do incredible things. Mac and iOS are connected like never before. The result is that your Mac has a fresh new look, with all the power and simplicity you know and love. And we built great new capabilities into the interface that put need-to-know information at your fingertips. To do that, we looked at the entire system and refined it app by app. With OS X Yosemite, we set out to elevate the experience of using a Mac.
