georgeg4 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) I have tried to download and install programs on my I-book using installer and by just opening the packages but they all end up corrupted when I try to run them the installer just freezes after the introduction Edited March 4, 2013 by georgeg4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross549 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Are the packages capable of working under your older OS? Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeg4 Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 That was part of the problem thanks ross The other thing is the installer itself it only shows the first screen and then freezes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 You have to download dmg files that will work on your particular flavor os OS X Panther, aka 10.3.x. Most things will not work on Panther these days. So you really need to look carefully at the hardware and OS requirements before even downloading programs. Also you will want to get the updates at are actually still available from Apple, if you don't have them. You will stand a much better chance of getting some software installed if you have the latest updates from Apple installed: Archived - Mac OS X 10.3: Chart of available Mac OS software updates Some software in the following list for Panther (10.3.x): Software for Vintage and Obsolete Computers Would definitely want to to get the 10.3.x version of TinkerTool. great free apps for mac os x 10.3.9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
