You just need to boot the computer using "Open Firmware" and type in a couple commands.</p> <p>You could also just download a program called Leopard Assist and it automates it for you!</p> <p>Here is a link to the program: <a href="http://mac.profusehost.net/leopardassist/" rel="nofollow">http://mac.profusehost.net/leopardassist/</a></p> <p>Hope that helps! </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/upgrading-mac-#post-56374 Sun, 09 Nov 2008 08:11:49 +0000 jack7h3r1pp3r 56374@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>ok well i guess that i don't have to do this any more because my friend is selling it to buy a newer one anyways and i;m not even sure if it is very possible either. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/installing-osx-on-non-apple-computer#post-56074 Fri, 07 Nov 2008 01:12:51 +0000 jack7h3r1pp3r 56074@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>yes it is :D haha </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/installing-osx-on-non-apple-computer#post-56066 Thu, 06 Nov 2008 22:30:59 +0000 raphoenix 56066@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Jack,</p> <p>Whew !<br /> Thanks !<br /> That takes a load off my mind.<br /> Was thinking about putting out yard signs (you know like those campaign signs you saw during our past election) but believe your front door solution is much better.<br /> Will buy some plywood and paint first thing in the morning.<br /> By far, violation of Eula's is the most serious issue facing mankind.<br /> Kindest Regards,<br /> Rick P.&#9830;:) :) :) </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/installing-osx-on-non-apple-computer#post-56059 Thu, 06 Nov 2008 20:11:02 +0000 jack7h3r1pp3r 56059@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>maybe lol maybe since your house is more like your case you just stick one one your front door LOOL :D </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/installing-osx-on-non-apple-computer#post-56055 Thu, 06 Nov 2008 18:59:50 +0000 raphoenix 56055@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Jack,<br /> Since I don't have a case but just run all my H/W laying out on the floor, will a Bumper Sticker or Body Tattoo count in meeting the Eula requirements ????</p> <p>Kindest Regards,<br /> Rick P.&#9830;:) </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/installing-osx-on-non-apple-computer#post-56054 Thu, 06 Nov 2008 18:24:36 +0000 jack7h3r1pp3r 56054@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>i have been reading a bit on this lately and it seems as though if you buy the OS and install on your hardware it is legal as long as you have some apple logo on it. like if you put a apple sticker on your case or something like that </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/upgrading-mac-#post-55867 Wed, 05 Nov 2008 02:50:15 +0000 jack7h3r1pp3r 55867@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>can you force and upgrade like if i have a 10.5 mac osx disc and i would need a faster proc. because it's only a G4 400 something MHZ and i will need something in the 600 MHZ range. so i am wondering if i can force the machine to install the upgrade anyway or is this just not possible?? or will the os just not work if i do find a way to do it? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/paralles-tansporter#post-55655 Mon, 03 Nov 2008 06:58:27 +0000 bgpopescu 55655@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>haw can i install parallels transporter on mac.it a little complicated. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/uninstall-xp-from-parallels#post-54380 Fri, 24 Oct 2008 15:26:54 +0000 joemoran7 54380@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Ok - thanks Scott.</p> <p>I've added a new post then that asks the 3 questions I wanted answering instead of putting 3 separate posts.</p> <p>Thanks </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/parallels-and-xp-un-installation#post-54379 Fri, 24 Oct 2008 15:25:56 +0000 joemoran7 54379@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I am a new mac user. I have previously installed Parallels on my new macbook - but I've had quite a few problems with it so I'd like to completely remove it.</p> <p>So it would great if you could help me out with the following questions;</p> <p>1 - how do I completely uninstall XP from my Parallels system?</p> <p>2 - how do I completely remove parallels from my mac?</p> <p>3 - how do I install Bootcamp on my mac?</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>P.s. I've had a look at some similar posts to this in the past but have been unsuccessful in implementing the suggestions - i.e. I don't have any files in the Documents/Parallels/ folder to delete to get rid of XP. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/uninstall-xp-from-parallels#post-54368 Fri, 24 Oct 2008 12:41:52 +0000 Scott 54368@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>joemaran7, the proper way to get your question answered is to ask them one at a time. When you post 3 similar questions back to back to back we treat it as spamming our forum. No worries though, just a heads up for the future. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/uninstall-xp-from-parallels#post-54364 Fri, 24 Oct 2008 12:05:24 +0000 joemoran7 54364@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I have been searching around several of the forum posts on this topic, but they have not really helped me so far - maybe just because of my very limited knowledge of Mac's.</p> <p>Anyway - how do I completely remove Windows XP from my Parallel program on Mac? One suggestion said to delete the items in the Documents/Parallels/ folder - but I don't have anything in that folder.</p> <p>Any suggestions would be brilliant.</p> <p>Thanks </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/installing-osx-on-non-apple-computer#post-52010 Sat, 11 Oct 2008 18:50:04 +0000 JonMCC33 52010@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>This is the last I've heard of this: <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-10026033-37.html" rel="nofollow">http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-10026033-37.html</a></p> <p>The problem is enforcing the EULA when you have already purchased a licensed product.
