I was given an older MacPro 1.1 with Tiger and want to know whats the latest OS i can run on it.
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.11), 4Gig memory 2x Dual core 2.66
Mac OS X 10.7.5. Getting there requires going through 10.6.3 and 10.6.8.

where can i get it do you know if Apple has it available or can i download it somewhere
1. Click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
2. After #1, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004. If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.

With hacks yo can go higher than Lion
Yup, sfott makes the hack easier too.…
I was wondering about this I have an old PB G4 TI I was able to Leopard to run on it with a few tweeks
This will be a fresh install so I dont care about the software on it. I have a clean disk
Hi Neil the only thing i see on your link is to buy 10.6 i dont see where to "download a dvd". are you saying to buy it than buy the upgrade to or am i missing something there
All paths forward require you to buy the Physical DVD from the Apple Online store and install it. It will install 10.6.3. Then use software Update to get it up to 10.6.8. At 10.6.8, the Mac App Store appears, so you will be able to get later software (like 10.7) by download.
But 10.7 is not generally available for direct download. You go to the Apple Online store again, and this time, buy a 10.7 download code. It will be delivered by email in 1 to 3 days, and human intervention is required, so it won't show upon the weekend. With those emails come instruction on how to obtain 10.7 Lion form the Mac App store (by download). You can't get 10.7 new today without a download code (specific to your account).
PowerPC G4's cannot run anything beyond 10.5, some will only be able to run lower OS's depending on the spec, find more info via…
You will need to buy 10.6 to install it, 10.6 was not sold as a download as far as I recollect.
Im not trying to run anything beyond 10.5 on my PP G4 cause i know it wont Ive already neen done that road, Im trying to get the best OS on a MacPro 1.1

After you upgrade to 10.6.8, you order Lion here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
