    Streaming internet-radio on PPC (os9/OS X)

    Last night I discovered, that all my internet-radio streaming links were broken and didn't work with iTunes 10 on my 12" PowerBook anymore. Searching for another web-radio streaming app I was lucky to find "FStream". You will find the latest version to work with PPC/Leopard&Tiger via Wayback...

    PPC and Leopard as Daily Driver

    Hello everybody, I am new to this forum, and I was suprised to see an active PPC community. But I am wondering, do people here still use PowerMac G3s, G4s and G5s as a daily driver for tasks like webbrowsing/YouTube? How does that still work on a machine like a PowerMac G3 and an older OS like...

    AmazingHenry's PowerPC Projects Thread

    All my PowerPC projects! :) Tiger Sierra Theme Before LeopardRebirth was out, I was making a Sierra theme for personal use. Once LeopardRebirth came out, some people requested a Sierra Theme for Tiger. It wasn't hard to adapt my theme to Tiger, so I did that and released it. Get it on the...

    Transparent Menu Bar on Tiger

    One more step to completing that Tiger Sierra Theme would be a transparent menu bar. Couldn't find anything with a DuckDuckGo search, but I know it's possible because @swamprock had showed screenshots with it. Anyone know of a way to get a transparent menu bar on Tiger? Thanks in advance. :)

    Any Way to Use an iContainer on Tiger?

    My Tiger Sierra Theme has NO ICONS in the current beta! Can you believe it? :O In the end, I plan to implement a .pkg that will upgrade the icons. For now, however, I'd like a temporary solution. I have an iContainer (CandyBar file) with a bunch of Sierra icons. The only thing I can get changed...

    Looking for TenFourKit

    The only Macs I use Tiger on are very low-end; a 700MHz iMac G4 and an iBook G3 "Snow" (and I'll get it on my Clamshell soon). Since I don't do a lot of web browsing on these, I'm not going to install TenFourFox and I'd like to use TenFourKit instead. Yes, it's outdated, but my Internet usage is...

    Tiger / Leopard TenFourFox/Roccat?

    Currently running Tiger on a 12"G4PB 1.5GHz/1.25Gb. TenFourFox is a little slow. In the opinion of those who have tried it, would it be worth moving to Leopard in order to be able to use Roccat? TIA, Stuart.

    Resolved Correct icon file properties for Tiger?

    I got an old new iMac running the last version of Tiger that it just can. I’m having trouble figuring out what the correct format of app icons for Finder would be, because the behavior I now see appears somewhat inconsistent. I’m used to changing document and app icons in more recent OS systems...

    I just got a 17" 1GHz 1GB RAM iMac G4 and updated it to the newest Tiger that it can run. Router is a TeleWell tw-eav510. I don't have much experience with integrating old and new tech and I'm having problems getting the iMac online. Actually I don't necessarily need it to connect to the...

    Resolved Nocturnal distraction-free writing in Tiger?

    I've just joined the club, as I managed to track down a neat 17" iMac G4. I wanted to mostly have it as a writing platform for late nights. On my main computer, I've used OmmWriter and FocusWriter because of these very important points: Distraction free: Full screen; None or barely any...

    Hey, guys. I recently found a great deal on an iMac G5. However, it comes without a hard drive, and the seller doesn't have the original OS disc.

    Dead Project...

    EDIT: It appears @swamprock has left the forums, however we're not sure yet. If he has left, then this theme is done. His files are everything, so consider this thread and theme done. We can just hope that the PPC Archive team releases a Tiger version of the pack! All of the information below...

    Install OS X Tiger/Leopard on Apple TV 1

    Okay, will these steps work in order to install OS X on an Apple TV 1 directly onto its internal hard drive? (With an external USB storage device) (I do not have the Apple TV itself, so if I need to input a serial number or something like that I will not be able to continue with that step) Now...
