G4 15", tiger 10.4.11 and have gimp 2.4.4 installed. I want to upgrade to gimp 2.6.10. Question is do I need to uninstall older gimp version before installing the new version?
I tried to install gimp, but when I click on the gimp icon on the dock, I get a little white box, with very small text in the top left corner "bash-3.2$" the little white box seems to open another program; X11, but I dont get gimp.
I have used Gimp for about one year with no issues. I updated gimp to newer version 2.6 and now I can not get past errors.
Here is the scenario, then the supporting information;
- I updated gimp, then have 'The application gimp-2.6 quit unexpectedly' error
- X11 was up to date from the MAC side, so I updated to the latest version of X11 from Xquartz, then have same gimp error AND 'The application dbus-launch quit unexpectedly'.
- I removed both with AppZapper and loaded X11 from my Apple software disc with no improvement, I still have both errors.
- I tried an older version of Gimp and it did not work (no menu bar) and I think it was 2.4.7(?)
So with apple standard X11 and fresh install of gimp 2.6 I still am unable to start gimp. Nor will X11 open when I click the icon in apps folder.
I want to import some new brushes into the Gimp Tiger Program on my Mac osx.
I have found out how to download the brushes and to which folder I have to drag them but when I want to drag them the computer refuses and gives the following notice:
Every time I open Gimp 2.8 (Mac Package) and try to edit text, it crashes. I Have the same issue with Photoshop CS5. Here is the error log using Gimp 2.8:
This issue is really driving me nuts. I reinstalled PS CS5 several times, emptied font cache and check the harddisk for issues. No change at all. (aLmost) Every time I want to edit a text area in Gimp or Photoshop the programs crashes.

What's a good image editing program I can use on a G3 that can run under 128mb that isn't GIMP? I need something that's like Photoshop. What is a version of Photoshop that can run under 128mb by the way? What is an alternative? I don't care if it's slow, it just needs to run okay on its own.
how to obtain a bigger memory for my imac so that I can upgrade to OSX LIon and then to icloud? My imac currently has 1 Gb memory and I need 2 Gb apparently. Apple can no longer supply a 2 Gb memory. I will need to knowe hwre to buy a suitable memory and how to change it.
I am kicking around between upgrading video card in my 1st gen Mac Pro (2 x 2.66 dual core, 8gb ram) from 7300 Gt to ati 4870 vs. upgrading to a newer system altogether...
Newer MP has 2 x 2.66 quad cores, 12 gb ram with the 4870 card.) What kind of improved performance might I really expect or even notice when using photoshop, light video editing, 3d graphics.
I have not included costs because I want to focus on the performance boosts sans cost for the purpose of this discussion.
I have an iMac with Mac OSX 10.6.8 and 2.4 GH2 Intel Core 2 Duo processor.I want to upgrade to Lion so that I can use iCloud to share documents with my iPad.Do I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard first or can I upgrade directly to Lion?
Looking at getting a 13" MPB to replace my aging Macbook. I am aware of the imminent arrival of the next gen next year, but still seriously considering getting a current gen.
Anyway, I am debating between getting the 2.66GHz version with 4GB RAM and the 2.4GHz version with 8GB RAM. I already have a 500GB 7200rpm HDD which I will transplant into it. Some stage in the next year or so I will look into getting an SSD and optibay for it.
I know that if I get the faster processor I can upgrade the RAM at a later date, but is the faster processor worth the money, or would I be better spending on RAM?
Maybe this isn't the correct forum...I'm a newbie. Today, after checking and installing upgrades to my iMac OS X, I'm seeing a pop-up saying 'my existing messages need to be upgraded the first time I use Mail again." I'm not sure what it intends to do to my Mail messages and I'm slightly fearful because many of them are Outlook Express messages that were transferred from my old PC. Anyone gone ahead and done this 'mail upgrade' yet? and did you have any issues?
My mac is up to date with mavericks 10.9.3 but the mail application won't upgrade since when I open it a message appears "upgrading your mail database... this make take a few minutes" but it just freezes. I have tried restarting the app, the mac and I dont know what else to do.

I went to BB and bought the upgrade for my MBP running Leopard but I decided I would try to install it on my Tiger running iMac almost possitive it would not work. It however worked and even installed faster (1/3 the time) of my MBP with more Ram and better processor. So it is definitely done
I am curious about the system requirement of Snow Leopard. Since the performance and speed are better on SL, I think Snow Leopard will consume a little bit more resource of our macs., although I know Snow Leopard is just only the refinement of the software.
So, my question is that WILL YOU UPGRADE YOUR RAM OF YOUR MAC?
I am using a 733 mHz Power PC G4 running OS10.4.11. I also have OS 9.2.1 on a second internal hard drive to run PageMaker software (not available on OS10). Presently, while in OS10, I can click on the PageMaker software icon and PageMaker boots up in OS9 "Classic" on the OS10 desktop.
Upgrades for some of my other software require 10.5 & up, so I would like to upgrade to OS 10.5 Leopard but I'm not certain I can keep the easy Classic bootup described above.
I would also be interested in upgrading to a G5 desktop Mac, but believe I was told that I have the last model G4 that allows both operating systems (OS9 and OS10) to function.
Got the bug to upgrade my iMac G5, 10.4.11. Question: jump to 10.5 or big jump to 10.6? Is there a big difference between 10.5 and 10.6? I'm on a budget and looking for the best deal around--don't want to get ripped off. Refurbished iMac a good deal? Ebay? Apple store? Other? I do a lot with pics, writing, some graphics and I like speed and storage. There is a cost in replacing some software I already have (Disk Warrior 39) that I understand 10.6 doesn't accept. I think there's a place to verify what softwares are compatible. Right? What is it called?
How do I upgrade from os x 10.4.11 to 10.5.1? I need to upgrade my operating system on my Mac Mini but I can't seem to find an available upgrade from Apple.
I'm currently running with the Tiger 10.4.11 Mac OS X on my MacBook, but I need to upgrade my OS to at least 10.5.8 to install and run some software.For some reason I can't out how to do this! Can someone tell me how I can upgrade my OS, and what OS I can/should upgrade to? Do I have to install a version of 10.5 (Leopard) before I can upgrade to a version of 10.6 (Snow Leopard)? And if so is this still possible as the oldest OS I can find online is 10.6.

I've been trying to upgrade from 10.6.7 for months. I've tried every type of installer and installation technique I can find. I always get the grey screen telling me to shut down the computer from what looks like a kernel panic on start up. Oh, and forget about Lion, that does the same thing. I need to upgrade because a piece of audio equipment that I bought needs 10.6.8 or higher
Currently running 10.5.1, skype crashes all the time as soon as I try to call or IM. Same for YHOO msgr. So I thought I go for an upgrade and downloaded the last update to 10.5.4 (560MB). As soon as I try to install the file the updater gets stuck in the first window (configuring installation). I left it alone because I thought it might needs some more time (Powerbook G4.1.5, 12"). Nope, after 3 hours still no moving along for the bar and I just end up shutting the machine down via the power button. I really would love to use skype and the other msgrs again, get the upgrade to work. Download the patch again? I don't even know where the already downloaded patch sits, if I can't install it I will certainly like to delete the 560MB.
I'm hoping someone can assist. i'm usually in the Cisco Forums. I was just given a gift of a macbook from my sister for a gift. It was her old one she bought a year ago as she upgraded to macbook pro.
I currently have
75GB HDD
2GHz Intel core Duo
2GB 667 MHz RAM
I'm currently running tiger 10.4.11
She also gave me a copy of 10.5.6 of leopard. I go to run the installer and after i select the language of my choice i get a message saying that mac os x cannot be installed on this computer.
I have an older iBook G3 running 10.4.11 and I would like to know if I can upgrade to 10.4.8, and if so, how do I go about doing it? Sorry, I'm not much of a computer wizard, obviously.
