Hello everybody ! Many people have some old apple computers laying around in their attic or somewhere else, and probably, one day, decide to try and revive them. If you are one of those people with a G3, G4 or G5 Mac, and don’t want to bother yourself with trying to find old installer CDs, I will show you how you can install Mac OS 10.3 (not tested), 10.4 and 10.5 on your PowerPC from a USB stick. Now you may think that you already can do that by just holding the Alt key, but these machines are a bit too old for that. Thats why we gotta force them, through Open Firmware Mode !
Things you´ll need:
Companies such as Dell and HP attempt to steal the design that makes the MacBook Pro what it is. People look at the Mac mini as a excellent home computer or to make a super cool TV Media Center Setup, or even go to the extreme and use one as a server for 30+ iMacs! All of these design terms were the same during the PowerPC era of time! This collection includes downloads of Mac OS 8.5 and 8.6 install CD's for various iMac, PowerBooks, PowerMacs G3 and G4 models from 233MHz to 333mhz. Download Mac OS 8.5 & 8.6 for G3 & G4 for Mac MacOS85DE.ZIP (384.23 MiB / 402.9 MB). TenFourFox is an adaptation of Firefox 17 for PowerPC Macs, with two different G4 versions (if you’re running Leopard on a G4, you’ll probably end up using the 7450/G4e version) and a G5 version, so any PPC Mac running Leopard can run it. The current version of TenFourFox is 17.0.7.
Here are the download links to Mac OS 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5:
So, to start off, download the version of your choice. I would recommend first trying 10.4, because it is compatible with more Macs. Once you downloaded Tiger (the name of Mac OS 10.4). You want to plug your USB stick into your intel Mac, open Disk Utility, and format it as Apple Partition Map with the name USB. Spotify going to continue to give me my hulu free. Once done, restore your stick from the Tiger dmg. You may need to scan the image, for that, whilst in disk utility, go into ‘images’ and select the top option. After the restoring process is done, right click on your usb in disk utility (left side, where every disk is shown) and look for its partition number. Could be 3,2,1 and so on. Now you can eject your usb, and plug it into your PowerPC. Make sure that it is the only USB device, except for your keyboard and mouse. Now comes the fun part ?
Congrats ! You’ve made it until here ! Hopefully without any problems. But that was the easiest part; now starts the more difficult part, if you don’t know what you’re doing. First things first, to start your Mac into OF mode, you need to turn it on, and immediately hold ‘command’, ‘Alt’, O and F all together. Hold those 4 keys down, until you see the screen shown above. After you successfully booted your Mac, you gonna wanna type ‘dev / ls’ and hit enter. Now there will be a long list of all the stuff inside of your computer. At the end of the list you will most likely see something like ‘More (space, cr,q) and so on. Just press space once. Now at the end there should be ‘0’ with an arrow and underscore. Before typing any other stuff, you will have to find your usb in the list. https://yellowprinting119.weebly.com/blog/the-star-room-mac-miller-free-download. It should be towards the end and look something like this:
Your USB will be /usb@xx (here usb@18) and below there should be /disk@xx (here disk@1). Are you ready to type now ? Alright then, let’s go !! Video player for mac. ( Tip: press the up key to prevent rewriting everything )
After each line press Enter
