The web is getting more and more bloated. Even with TenFourFox FPR 32 Intel on Snow Leopard (2.93GHz, 8GB RAM, NVIDIA 9600M GT 512MB) the modern YouTube.com is unusable due to how slow everything functions (even with uBlock legacy).
Yes, I know there are other browser options and tweaks, but I...
Hi, I need help with my Power Mac G5! I tried to make a bootable USB for Leopard but when I go into the boot selector, the drive doesn't come up, when I try to launch the installer from Mac OS X, it just reboots into the OS, and when I try to boot into it from open firmware, it just shows the...
Hi, I have a Power Mac G5 running Mac OS X 10.3.0. I have installed a DVD RW drive that supports burning and reading dual-layer DVDs as the original one only can read burned dual-layer DVDs but when I installed the new one the burning option was disabled in disk utility and the system profiler...
i'm running itunes in the background, but when i open other apps or move the mouse, i get audio stuttering and glitching. now when i reset the pram and do the open firmware commands then boot into leopard, the stuttering isn't there. but if i shut down the mac or restart it after, it starts the...
I'm wondering if there is a protocol that allows the "Messages" app (or it's backbone structure) to be allowed to be run on ichat? Just like the old imessage was able to run on ichat when 10.8 came out.
I would like to have my powerbook do more other than run itunes in the background or to...
Hi all,
Is there a consensus on which OS is better for a 12” PowerBook G4?
I’ve installed Tiger on a 867mhz model, and Leopard on a 1.5Ghz. Both with max RAM (1125 on the low end), both with a SSD upgrade (mSATA to IDE).
What’s surprised me is that the Tiger machine feels just a touch...
Hi all,
I’m trying to find a way to listen to podcasts on either a G4 iMac or PowerBook, both running leopard. It’s looking like iTunes 10.6.3 won’t allow podcast downloads, though.
Are there any alternative, lightweight programmes that I could try instead? Or, does anyone know of a workaround...
PPCMC 7 is now 1.5 years old, and has seen 25 updates since version 7.0.
Recently it has come to my attention that something weird is going on with using VLC and QuickTime to watch YouTube livestreams. Apparently Google changed something, I think it’s to do with the codec/format somehow...
Whilst looking for ways to get some level of basic emoji support for the Clouded Leopard project (Snow Leopard for PowerPC), I learnt of a nifty way to integrate a basic, early emoji support for Snow Leopard, Leopard, and even Tiger.
This workaround for what I guess amounts to backmojis can be...
IOQuake 3 is an open source Quake III game engine. Awhile ago, I ported the latest version to OpenBSD and got it added to the official OpenBSD ports tree. Now with the power of Panther SDL2 I have restored Mac OS X 10.3.9/10.4.x compatibility to the latest version of IOQuake3. Previously, Mac OS...
Introduction
(Read in Tim Cook's voice)
It's safe to say that a great many users in the PowerPC community (used to) rely on Mac OS X Leopard regularly and leverage its useful features just as often. However, there are certain elements laced throughout the default user experience that have...
I gather from searching around that the answer amounts to “not possible”:
From SL onward, the default file name for screencapture is “Screen shot YYYY-MM-DD at HH:mm:ss.[format]”.
Pre-SL, the default file name was “Picture [x].[format]”, where “x” was a sequential digit.
In Tiger or Leopard...

I always found it a bit irritating how quickly 10.5 support was dropped by developers back when 10.6 hit the shelves, whereas its successor enjoyed support for a much longer period of time, so I've made a descision to take matters into my own hands by compiling some 10.5 compatible software...
Hi there, i manage to resurrect a g4 quicksilver 867mhz with 2 80gb hds running Tiger.
Now, i have some sata initio 1622 card installed and 250gb hd conected to it with leopard 10.5.8 from a(nother one) dead G5.
On Tiger, all discs get properly mounted on desktop and running but i cannot manage...
Happy 2023! Welcome to the community WikiPost. We will be discussing OS X Leopard on G3’s (and G4’s).
As of early 2023, the guide is “active”. The content has been updated, however, we are still looking for someone to finish the shell script to automate the install.

After 3+ months in development and much longer in the making, I'm pleased to announce what will be my final dual-project for PowerPC OS X.

Hi all,
I had an old ABBU backup with all my contacts from a PPC running leopard which i sold a while ago.
Today, i tried to import the ABBU file in the new CONTACTS app in my High Sierra, and it imports well BUT
When i import the file in contacts i loose long fields that also have soft...
Hey all!
I'm fairly new to Mac OS X Server, but I'm learning as I go!
I know you can do this, but apparently it's either never been an issue for people or for some reason it's just really hard to search online for. :/
I've been trying to get a Share Point on my Mac OS X Server Leopard 10.5...
