I’m actually doing this. Starting with Mac OS 9.2.1 on my iMac G3
This person's bank account when the computers become vintage 📈📈
Those computers are vintage
@@KaanCan-hx9oq Not vintage enough to be super expensive
@@duplicake4054 oh yeah you’re right
@@duplicake4054 sorry about that little mistake i made
The ibook snow goes for cheap on ebay but other computers maybe not so much…
All those startup / welcome videos and their various songs bring back some memories. I used to work at an agency during this period and we deployed upwards of 1,000 macs. For a long time it wasn't possible/easy to image them, so we'd have banks of them setup with install discs and then these songs going off seconds apart as someone clicked Accept on the first, then second, then third, etc etc etc. 10.5 was easily the worst one of them all.
Thanks for the 00's memories Ross
Aqua was peak digital design, nothing can convince me otherwise.
Mavericks was the best. Though that Tiger to Leopard upgrade is the largest single version improvement in design in the entire collection IMO
@@tompov227 gross I can’t agree on Mavericks. But Tiger to Leopard was magical and Snow Leopard really cemented it. My Core 2 Duo MacBook felt fast with a crappy HDD. I really hope Apple goes back to a proper tic toc cycle and does a modern day Snow Leopard optimisation.
@@Freshbott2 Mavericks was really just Snow Leopard but with a few nicer optimizations. Granted the buttons changed from round to squircle but besides that what is the objection to mavericks
@@tompov227 I recall installing Mavericks on a MacBook Pro and thinking it was slow because MacOS was indexing. But it just never came good. But it’s also softer, they changed the colour of highlights and dulled the glossiness. I believe they also changed how the maximise button works and changed Expose to a weird overlaid category type do. Maybe I’m biased cause Tiger and Leopard are what got me into it and Snow Leopard was the first one I had.
bro is flexing his macs
No he's not.
I suppose I do make the TiBook’s screen flex a little at 15:21
@@RossDarker Best response possible.
More like flexing his OS installer boxes. :o
And then why are you watching it💀
very high effort video. really appreciated it ! loved the change of fonts depending on the period
Thank you, glad you noticed!
yeah I notice that too, was going to comment but then I see this comment. Miss that old font from Mavericks age.
What is striking to me is how modern the TiBook STILL looks. If it was a bit thinner and lighter and had a webcam, it would fit right in with the Macs of today. One could argue that design-wise that that (lighter, thinner TiBook with modern ports/processor/camera) is essentially the MacBook Pro today.
OS X Leopard ❤️
THIS is the content I need on RUclips!
Incredible Ross, you don't see videos like this often enough.
Looking forward to your video in 10 years later ;_)
I enjoyed this video very much. Every-single-seconds... Thank you for your effort.
This video is so satisfying
From Russia with love 🇷🇺🤝🇬🇧
Great video!!! And thanks. Best regards from Spain.
I became a Mac user since Snow Leopard, I’m still happy being a Mac user.
Man, you did a massive job, collected all the Macs, installed all the versions of MacOS, copied them, respect to you
Idk why this is I’m my recommended feed but it’s cool. Also great to see someone else owns an iBook G3 in 2023
I’ve a fully operational 2003 iBook G4 running Tiger. Purchased it new, great machine, Apple classic!!
Great video!
Thanks for the video ❤!
Great video, subbed
Difference between X and 9 is incredible!
Awesome video, thank you!!
I've watched many videos of upgrading Windows 1.0 to 11, but never of macOS. This is so cool! I'm glad that RUclips recommended it. Such a great video and explanations!
Thanks for the comment, and yes absolutely. The changing architectures and partition schemes pose a different challenge from that over on the Windows PC side of things.
I’d say completing this upgrade chain on real Macs was in fact easier than the time I did it with virtual machines. Of course, acquiring older hardware and software can be tricky. Already having everything certainly helped, just had to get that iBook - the Indigo iMac G3’s been long gone.
Starting at System 1.0 (0.97 or whatever), and upgrading on real Macs is next. My best option to show both the entirety of Classic Mac OS and UNIX macOS would be to do the first half, perhaps both, in arrangement with a museum. Fortunately, I know of one - they have all the Macintoshes and possibly original install media too, so stay tuned…
@@RossDarkerOMG! That would be so awesome! Your software collection is also impressive; you have boxes in great condition. I've already subscribed and am looking forward to new videos.
Greetings from Mexico! I wish you the best. Thank you for your content!
What about from NeXTStep 3.1 to 4.2, then upgrade that directly to Mac OS X Tiger, then every version onwards?
Enjoyed it
Excellent video! Tanks
This is an awesome overview! My first Mac OS was Mavericks. Been on Mac ever since.
Cheers. Mavericks was great, felt very polished. Good one to start on
@@RossDarker It was indeed polished! Made me want to use the iCloud integration and Apple apps. Cheers!
This is a lovely video! I am a Windows user but also started using macOS a year ago in December 2022. I used Catalina but I always thought about the look of older macOS versions and this is the perfect guide to it
Wow! Great job! 🥰I miss the Dock from before Mavericks 😢
36:29 still waiting for OS X Sea Lion installation
I like this its so satisfying
In retrospect I think I like Leopard's and Snow Leopard's design the best. At the time I felt it al was a bit too grey and business-like compared to Tiger. I missed the brushed metal finder windows and the aqua buttons, but later I started to like it very much. I wish Apple would go back to that design a bit, a bit more 3D and textured, not as flat. Luckily they still kept the shadow under the windows.
Thanks for making a really awesome video!
By the way, have you considered to upgrade to macOS 14 from 9 in minimal steps instead of each version?
Thanks. I suppose this could be done in 1 step: install OS 9 onto the iBook, transfer to the newest Mac and install the latest macOS on top of the existing install. Perhaps it's not quite what you meant, but that would certainly be quickest.
Fantastic works, big fans of Apple
nice, but what about EVERY version of macOS? System 1 through macOS 14? it's gonna be fun.
I’d need all the Macs and corresponding software for that; perhaps I could film at some museum with given permission one day.
I have some System 7 floppies, possibly 6 somewhere too, and maybe an OS 8 CD.
Best I could do for now was this Unix / 2000 edition. OS 9 seemed like a good starting point to upgrade from into a new era.
When you were upgrading to 10.0 Cheetah, how come the special intro video for MacOS 9 users never appeared?
@@ThePlaneGuy95I’ve seen that but never on an actual Mac, maybe it was on different revisions of the Cheetah CD
Wait. Versions? Does that include every dot update? Ex: 10.15.0 -> 10.15.1. Or beta updates. Ex: el cap dp1 to dp2
Nice video and very thorougly enmarked. Unsure if the process can have a follow up with a better version of the famous "Time Machine" that hasn't been deployed smoothly nowadays!
Super cool video😮😮
this is amazing
geez the startup server music on macos 9.2 on the G3 is heavy 😢
thank. its a good video
nice macs bro!
Been on OSX since Catalina on a Mac Pro 2013. Nrver looked back to Windows/Linux
Very good
I still love the macOS x welcome sound
I watched the entire thing doing nothing else 😮
I always hated those flat icons introduced in 10.10
leopard was the best. it could log on and use any mac on the network and it felt like the one you were using. security nightmare tho
You deserve much more likes
nice macbook/powerbooks/ibooks bro
2:30 Frutiger Aero Essentially. In the Mac OS X ? 😊
Nostalgia
First iBook is restarting faster than todays MacBooks lol 😂
Epic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was the revolution to macOS Sonoma for all MacBook(s)!
So this is what Mac users watch for fun
Jaguar 😍
with system software 1 to Mac OS 7 upgrade unreal, due not compatible CPUs, MOS 6502, Motorola 68k.
OS X Sea Lion 😂
Say what you will about Apple's business practices and their decline these days, but man, back in the day they really knew how to make products beautiful, software included.
So cool
YOU ABSOULTE LEGEND
all this literally needs is just a capture card and it being sped up like the OG video and i would watch that start to finish, although im very impressed with you, good job, im proud of you after completeting this over the course of 9 MONTHS
I did think about capture cards but decided it was nice to see the Macs as well this time for more authenticity.
And yes, it’s longer this video. I’ve gone for more of a film-style, where it will take time, but should be easier to watch than the previous video which was quite crudely edited.
Many parts are still sped up apart from those I thought should be seen at 1x, or not be too fast. I may make a condensed version where there is less showcasing and just upgrading. For now, RUclips’s speed setting is OK; used it for checking over the video the final time. Some clips may sound odd when played back at fast speeds however.
Must mention too, wasn’t quite nine months, but that certainly was when the idea was formed and going to actually happen. Filmed and edited in June for the most part.
Thanks
@@RossDarker it was 9 months when i suggested it, also i guess those 2 arugements would work, i liked the OG style of the video but this also works, i guess the built in youtube speed thing would also work, thanks for the reply!
@@RossDarker im jealous u have a macbook pro 2015 retina, also you should make a discord server if you want t
Jaguar will always be my favourite.
this isn’t possible anymore on Mx series macs as Apple won’t cryptographically sign the outdated installers. in fact without internet you can’t restore Mx series macs at all.
First time I’ve tried 10.5
My first own mac book air 2013 so my personal experience starts from 10.8
in 2 years(since this video was posted), you might have to create a new video when macOS 15 comes out or just unpublished this one, edit the footage and post the edited one. (This is just a possibility, I do not know what's going to happen)
How did you get OS X Tiger To Boot On QEMU and how did you use the EFI Patcher In Parallels
If you’re referring to the previous video, as of course I’m using real Macs here, I got Tiger PPC running quite easily in Qemu just from the right start command. These days UTM can be of great help for setting things up.
The EFI patch on Parallels is version specific, in fact, build specific. It’s easier to do in VMWare Fusion where the patch works with any build of the program. One can even run Tiger Intel this way too.
You just need to put some patch files in the right place, correctly incorporate them into the VM, then it’ll run. See what you can find, it’s rewarding to do research, locate and do these ‘hacks’ yourself, good luck!
Thank you I’ll let you know if this did or didn’t work
@@RossDarkerUnfortunately O couldn’t get it to work
I made it work in VBox on Windows
I love Snow Leopard
Nice video , just subscribed!!!!!! Please add some background music next time
it gets too quiet around here LOL
It’s nicer that way
I really like all versions of 10.0, then 11 came and I found it all a bit boring
Aqua and 3D dock were best. Things went downhill since Yosemite 😢
I remembered my first MacBook when I was a student. There was a lion in it. Thank you for impressing me.
Finding a lion in your Mac is surely extraordinary! Glad you enjoyed.
Where did you get the installation dvds
Apple! They’re all first-hand owned from initial release
Windows 7 Professional SP1, Mac OS X 11 Big Sur, Android 4.4.4 KitKat & iOS 9.3.6
47:35 i ❤ mac os big sur
The current MacBook Pro looks so incredibly sexy. And I hope we get a macOS redesign this WWDC.
it's crazy to me that the modern design of the mac came only in 2020 with big sur, before that it looked like windows 7
27:37 It's so weird seeing Internet Explorer's icon on Mac OS X Leopard.
Man, you miss sea lion
25:08 A MOVING BOX?
From one of the best looking macOS till Catalina to iPadOS 🤡 looking macOS Big Sur we have came a long way.
I think the last one that feels like a laptop was monterey after that it looks just like an ios
cool video, but why use a powermac G4 when the ibook snow runs both panther and tiger, and the 2009 unibody MBP works with leopard, and unofficially can run every OS except sonoma, but even then i'm sure somebody's gonna make a patch
Because I have them. This PowerBook G4 can also run Panther and Tiger (as shown), and even Jaguar. Just isn’t the point of the video. Want to be using the original Mac OS install media and have it all official.
Bro amazing video but it’s hard for me to watch since upgrading your OS on an old device lowers the value of
How much time did it take to install macOS?
Yes
They tended to take longer to install the higher up I went, even after the switch from DVD, there were exceptions of course. On average maybe about 40 minutes each, hard to remember specifically though.
The whole video took over a month to film and edit
I wish you had created some files, import music, created playlists, added some photos, create documents, spreadsheets to see how those survive the upgrades especially moving from architecture.
The Dock is the closest example shown to this. There were also the Mac OS 9 files that kept getting moved around. It's an interesting thought though
the iBook g3 :skull:
39:04 F por these icon's style
0:26
Windows 7 Professional SP1 x Mac OS X 11 Big Sur x Android 4.4.4 KitKat x iOS 9.3.6
Nobel tech
the best version i have ever used is Snow leopard. nothing compere to it
Snow leopard is peak OSX change my mind
0:46
10:55
To upgrade mbp2015 to latest can use Opencore patcher
...What about Mac OS 8 and earlier?
See pin! Or my other video
Tiger is the best version ever :)
That welcome video (22:57) for Tiger says it all really; brushed metal, Spotlight, stable. Boots up so quickly and feels snappy. Just brilliant
Good evening, how are you
I have a Mac Pro. 2010 macOS High Sierra
10.13.6 I can't download word Or any program, is there a solution to this problem?
iBook G3s disk drive "help me"
i have a 2012 macbook pro, in which i'm trying to put an ssd. and it was a pain as many wouldn't even be detected. now that i've finally got a wd green which is compatible, i cannot even get it to work as the online recovery completely refuses to install on the ssd. despite finishing the install, it doesn't boot basically. considering is my first experience with a mac, it wasn't that good.
It should have detected any ssd. Most probably, during your switch, the ribbon cable connecting the ssd is damaged. It always seems to work at first, it not perfectly. Replace it with the matching part number on your current ribbon cable.
