I am running 10.6.8 time to upgrade 10.8 will i loose some older operations like iweb?
Also if i load Mavericks will I still be able to revert back if I don't like the format?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Upgrading from 10.6 will loose Rosetta and therefore, all legacy software that relies on Rosetta. That includes things like MS Office versions older than 2008.
You need to make a backup of your content, on an external drive, before updating so you have a means for reverting if necessary. To revert to an older version of Mac OS X you have to erase the hard drive and then reinstall the older Mac OS X and all content. That is easiest if done from a complete backup of your current system.
Caution always, with backups good point. I don't run any MS at all. Now the question is, would you know if iweb is dependant of Rosetta?
iWeb is not dependent on Rosetta, but no longer available. So if you want it, be sure and make a backup you can use to add to your later Mac OS X. Same goes for iDVD, also no longer available 😠
Great Help! I am doing this upgrade to get to the developer tools. I would like to learn to create special wifi driver apps. Thanks for taking time with my questions.
