There are no initial versions of OS X (any version) which can be downloaded. Instead, all versions of OS X install alongside OS 9 - both can be present on the same volume without needinng to partition the drive, and both be usable on machines which support both. not sure if that helps anyone out there.ĭoes anyone know how I could get this old iMac upgraded? Thanks!Įven the early versions of OS X are not updates to OS 9. He had 2 CD's that were 'home made' which upgraded him to Jaguar. DMG files.DMG is only readable on the OS X series.Ĭan anyone help me out? I found a video of some Australian guy on YouTube who had an iMac similar to mine running OS 9.2.2 as well. From what I see, my iMac cannot currently read. The only problem is I can't find Cheetah anywhere, and if I find it online to download, it's either a. The person at Apple said it needs to be upgraded to 10.0 (Cheetah) before I can keep upgrading apparently. I've been trying to upgrade it, and just can't get it to work at all.
The iMac is curently running Mac OS 9.2.2 and runs perfectly.
I recently picked up an iMac G3 (light blue color) at a little store for just $10.00 - I gave Apple a call and apparently the iMac has enough RAM and all that fancy stuff for a couple of upgrades based on their calculations.
