OS 9 Applications on Tiger

2006-10-09 Thread Ann Zdunczyk
Hi All, I have a G5 running Panther that I purchased several years ago. A purchased an upgrade for one of my applications and it requires OS 10.4 (Tiger) to run. I was told by the Apple rep that Tiger would run my OS 9 applications on this machine just fine. Since I do not have the New Mac

Ann, As far as I'm aware, Tiger does NOT support OS 9 in any form. Mac OS X up to somewhere around 10.3 or so WOULD run OS 9 apps in, basically, emulation form in what was known as Classic. However, OS X 10.4 dropped that provision, as far as I know. But, then again, if an Apple rep told you

Tiger for the G5 will run OS 9 applications in Classic. Tiger for the Intel Mac does not run Classic applications. So, your G5 running Tiger should be fine, as the Apple rep said. We run FrameMaker 7.0 and occasionally Quark 4.1 on Tiger. We have not experienced any major problems. Regards,
