Hi all,
I'm trying to upgrade from Mac OS Z1-9.1 to Mac OS X.3.2 using my spare and old G4.
I have the Installation CD's but for some reason the G4 isn't reading them so i can't update. Do i have to connect to the internet (currently no connection) to upgrade as far as possible first or is this 'giant leap' from OS9.1 to OSX.3.2 just not possible in one go..?
All advice welcome..!

You're Welcome Shane!
Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
Panther, is no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Tiger 10.4.x is the most up to date OS.
If you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, FastMac, AppleRescue, etc.
Be sure not to again purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
Panther is only on CDs, not DVDs.
Unless purchased from AppleRescue, the discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, or CPU Drop-in DVD, on them.
The discs should also not say 'This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately.'
Once Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version.
If your Mac meets the Tiger System Requirements, you could also consider installing that, and then use the PPC 10.4.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
Panther System Requirements
Additional Panther System Requirements
Additionally, 'Tiger ships on a DVD, but if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you’ll need CD media.'
AppleRescue, also sells a Tiger installation set on CD.
Shop Carefully, Examine All Documentation, And I Wish You Success!

hi, I upgraded from Mac OS 10.6.2 to 10.8.4 and mailboxes are missing. I tried using IMPORT - it does not see those folders which i could easily see using using 10.6.2. Now, the /library/mail folder is not visible when i use FINDER.
Somebody told me if i hold the OPTION key when using the GO-TO it will see files that have been made invisible - but this does not work on my mac.
can anybody help?
many thanks
david
Holding option doesn't show invisible files.
Holding Option allows access to the Library from the Go menu in Finder.
Always back up, first.
Check to make sure the mailboxes still exist in the user/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes folder.
If so, you might try removing the Envelope Index from the V2/MailData folder, then start Mail. That will cause it to reindex everything.
Here are my specs:

How do you upgrade from Mac OS x 10.6.8 to Lion?
First check to be sure your hardware meets the hardware requirements for Lion.
Backup your data. I suggest a bootable clone as the way to go.
Then open App Store and purchase and download the Lion installer.
Then install Lion.

Hi,
I want to upgrade from Mac OS X 10.9.5 to 10.10 only.
Is there a way of doing this without upgrading directly 10.10.2?
Thanks for your help.
Unfortunatley no, You can only upgrade the latest release from apple. If you want 10.10.x versions for the future you will want to download them and keep them on an external drive.
