I know that 10.4 is quite a bit behind the times already but I have a feeling I can't go from 10.3.9 to whatever is current (at least not without some serious problems). Community content is available under CC-BY-SA unless otherwise noted. For key enhancements and new features, see the main article Mac OS X 10.4. It, along with Mac OS X 10.4, was officially released internationally on Ap. It's just that now quite a few programs are requiring a minimum of 10.4 in order to upgrade (most notably Firefox). Mac OS X 10.4.0 was the version of Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger that appeared first on all Tiger installation CDs. I think that one exception to that rule is the G4 Mirrored Drive Doors (2003) 1.25GHz FireWire 400 model. So why not downgrade to the version you love. It is running OS X 10.3.9 with no problems. G4s above 1GHz tend to be USB 2.0 late model G4 Macs that are only able to run Mac OS 9 in Classic Mode from an OS X installed system (unless user modified). provides free software downloads for old versions of programs, drivers and games. I am relatively new to the Mac but inherited a Mac as part of a sale of a business. The procedure for checking whether the IP address of the computer to install the driver in is allowed in the Firewall Settings of the machine is described in steps 12 and 13 of 'TCP/IPv4 Settings,' and steps 9 and 10 of 'TCP/IPv6 Settings.' IMPORTANT. Please forgive my ignorance if this is a common question or something obvious.
