As a replacement for the faulty X11 that came with those earlier installations, you may have obtained the latest "fixed" version (X11 2.2.3 or above) available from Mac OS Forge. You would install this over an already existing Apple X11. However, Apple's Software Update may in turn potentially overwrite (or damage) a Mac OS Forge installation of X11 if the update downloads System software. If that happens, you have to re-install X11 from that web site after running System Update (so keep the Disk Image). For this reason, and also because the 10.5.4 update fixes several other bugs, it is now perfectly OK to stick with Apple's X11 which is also updated through Software Update.
Os X 10.5.0 Update Download
To avoid having to manually re-install your Mac OS Forge X11 after system software updates on Leopard 10.5.3 or above, you can revert to Apple's X11. How you do that depends on the Leopard version on your installation disk. For the most up-to-date instructions, look at the wiki. Here is what I did (on Lepard): start by installing the X11 and X11 SDK packages from that disk. If the disk has Leopard 10.5.0, you can get back to 10.5.4 (the current version as of this writing) by downloading and installing the Mac OS X 10.5.4 Combo Update. After that, perform a Software Update.
For Snow Leopard, I was forced to go back to XDarwin from MacOSForge because Apple's stock X11 had a window focus bug: Switching between X11 windows by using Apple's keyboard shortcut (Command-`) froze the X11 interface (unless you check "Enable key equivalents" in the X11 preferences, which wasn't an option I wanted). So I now use the most recent beta version of XDarwin. One can set automatic updes for these beta relases as described here. Install XCode 3 XCode is a development environment that provides (among many other things) the C++ compiler that will be used below to compile most of the open-source software that is available for the Mac. To get the most up-to-date version, it's best to check the Apple website, and look for XCode under "Development Tools". There are also additional compilers available for download as "XCode Legacy Tools". These encompass older versions of gcc which may be needed to compile some older software.
If you have more than one user on the system, there is an annoying side effect for Applications downloaded by one (admin) user when opened by another account: the other user will have only read access and this seems to trigger a security warning asking you to confirm that you want to run this "Applications downloaded from internet". This warning re-appears everytime you open the Application, unless you log in as an admin and set the privileges for that Application to Reaad & Write for the affected account.
The Linux version of Luna HSM Client 10.5.0 allows the administrator to set a custom folder for temporary files. Previously these files were written to /tmp, but some services could be disrupted when the /tmp folder was cleared. The new default folder is /var/lock, but if access rights to this directory are restricted, you can set a custom location by editing the MutexFolder entry of the Misc section of Chrystoki.conf.
Thales has removed a number of less-secure SSH ciphers from Luna Network HSM Appliance Software 7.8.0. As a consequence, older client versions may not be able to use SSH to access LunaSH. This affects SSH connections, pscp/scp file transfers, plink, and certain procedures that rely on these tools such as the One-Step NTLS Connection Procedure. To avoid connection problems, you must use the versions of pscp and plink from Luna HSM Client 10.4.0 or newer. If you use Linux-standard applications like scp or ssh, ensure that they are updated to the latest version.
Luna HSM Client 10.5.0 and newer cannot be used with a Luna PCIe HSM 6 that might be present in the host. If you need to use a version 6.x HSM card with your application, install Luna HSM Client 10.3.0 or older for Windows, or Luna HSM Client 10.4.1 or older for Linux.
The .jar files included with Luna HSM Client 10.x have been updated with a new certificate, signed by the Oracle JCE root certificate. This certificate validation requires a minimum Oracle JDK/JRE version.
It started out on PowerPC processors but later transitioned onto Intel processors with Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) the last to natively support the PowerPC architecture and Snow Leopard (10.6) the last to support PowerPC applications on Intel-based Macs. All versions of Mac OS X that were made to run on PowerPC systems (with the exception of Leopard) had a Mac OS 9 emulation layer called 'Classic'. It allowed Mac OS X to run Mac OS 9 applications that weren't updated to run natively on OS X (known as carbonization based on the Carbon API). However, some applications and extensions won't work under Classic. One example is Final Cut Pro 2. Yet, 99% of the time, Classic was perfectly capable of running most OS 9 apps.
Mac users who have older hardware laying around which are unable to run modern versions of Mac OS X may be relieved to discover that Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) and Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) are available to download directly from Apple. These versions of Mac OS X are over half a decade outdated and are now unsupported, making them appropriate for advanced users and those who require specific legacy software support within a virtual environment or on appropriately aged Mac hardware.
If you do download and install Mac OS X Snow Leopard, you can continue to obtain combo updates all the way through Mac OS X 10.6.8 through Apple Support, and they should still be available through the Software Update mechanism on the older Mac OS X release as well.
For Mac users without a membership to the Apple Developer program, paying the $99 annual fee makes to access the downloads makes little sense. Instead, you can still opt to purchase a physical installer DVD of Mac OS X Snow Leopard from Apple for a cost of around $20. Whether or not an old unsupported release of Mac OS X like Snow Leopard is worth $20 when all newer versions like OS X Lion, OS X Mountain Lion, OS X Mavericks, and OS X Yosemite are free and downloadable directly from the Mac App Store is debatable, but the old system software could be appropriate for certain environments where the newer releases of Mac OS X are unsupported on specific Macs, or where a virtual machine of the older OS is required.
can anyone help me. i have a mac 10..8 and want to upgrade for free online. havent had any luck and some websites tell me to download utorrent etc but the computer does not let me download that as well
I have a copy of Snow Leopard server, from when you could still download it for free from ADC (I do not even pay for a membership. It is in the free downloads). If you email me through the contact link on my website (click my name) I may be able to send you a copy.
hello i have a mac IOS X 10.5.8 and want to go to snow leopard but i do not want to purchase it for 20 bucks. do you know of the best way to download it? ive tried to doenload torrent etc and it does not work with anything
I am looking for Leopard 10.5 so I can upgrade from 10.4.11 . My girlfriend has been after me to upgrade the system. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. She has a PPC IMAC G5 2.1 Ghz. Anywhere I can download it?
You need to be logged into ADC and have the cookie saved in the default browser, then click the download link and it will begin to get Mac OS X Snow Leopard (or Leopard, but why get Leopard when you can get Snow Leopard?)
I downloaded and installed the 10.5.8 Leopard Combo directly from the Apple support site a few days ago and reinstalled it on a Twin 1.8Ghz G5 Mac Tower. You just have to trawl through a lot of pages to find it, but there was no need for me to be a developer to get it. :)
I can understand dropping G3s and Mac OS 10.4, but as a MINIMUM it should run on G5 and Mac OS 10.5.8, with G4 and Mac OS 10.5.0 preferred as the low end of the requirements. Guess I'll have to go back to Safari
I tried a download of 4.0 several months ago to my iBook G4 laptop OSX-10.5.8, but got "Wrong Architecture" and "Existing Copy Exists" messages. Closing my Firefox Browser allowed the Install to proceed. Then the wrong Architecture Error persisted, and I had to somehow recover my previous Firefox.
Today I got a fresh E-mail from Mozilla extolling the virtues of the latest Firefox 4.0. Figuring the previous problem had been rectified, I naively downloaded it again and re-installed, allowing the Install to blow-away the previous version.
If Mozilla no longer supports the PPC architecture, then the use of the Universal Binary (UB) logo on the all platforms download page is an improper use and needs to be changed to the MacOS logo instead.
Your download link should also check for the platform of Mac OS X to prevent people on PPC systems from downloading Firefox 4. It's not really that hard and would certainly prevent problems...including this thread.
And now I even get a no go panel for the 7-11-update Fx4 G5 8.0 which also says that my architecture OSX 10.5.8 does not support this new version. 7.0 does run although I miss security signs form e.g banksites like a lock-icon.
Mac OS X 10.5.6 Combo Update is Apple's recommended update for Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.0. The 10.5.6 Update is recommended for all Mac OS X Leopard users and contains general operating system updates that improve your Mac's reliability, usability, and protection.
Combo Updaters enable a Mac to be updated from a previous version of Mac OS X within the same major release without the need for the Mac to be on the previous version point release. In other words, it's a bundled upgrade that includes all necessary components from previous dot releases. 2ff7e9595c
