The 10.4.11 Update is recommended for all users running Mac OS X Tiger and includes general operating system fixes that enhance the stability, compatibility and security of your Mac.

Many consider Tiger to be the best “classic” version of Mac OS X. While that may or may not be true, it is my favorite Aqua-inspired wallpaper. Download 5K version. Download 6K version. Complete with a revised, unified user interface and shiny new Dock, 10.5 broke the Aqua mold.

Tips on 10.2 Jaguar, 10.3 Panther, 10.4 Tiger (10.4.4 is the beginning for some Intel Macs. On PowerPC Macs 10.4.11 is the end of Classic's compatibility), 10.5 Leopard, 10.6 Snow Leopard, 10.7 Lion, 10.8 Mountain Lion and 10.9 Mavericks,10.10 Yosemite, 10.11 El Capitan.

When determining which operating system you meet the requirements for, see this tip on Mac model and age:

Note this tip, and the related tips from Mac OS X 10.3 to 10.11 refer to Mac OS X Client. Mac OS X server questions more often are best answered by participants of the Server forums, as the limitations of Mac OS X Server can frequently differ.

Mac OS X Sierra, which was released September 20, 2016 is the first Mac OS X not compatible with any Macs running TIger. There are some Macs that came with 10.4 that can install up to 10.11.

Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) or later require the correct firmware be installed. The Macs on this tip explain which do:

Additionally, those interested in updating to 10.4 may also benefit from 10.3 as well. See this tip to determine if you may want to consider it.

Be sure to backup your data first at least twice before installing any operating system. Shut down, and disconnect any peripherals before continuing with the installation. Read the info below to ensure you are compatible. Finally, you may need to use the Startup Manager to boot the operating system when the 'C' key doesn't work in order to get the installer to work or repair the disk before installation if the initial attempt to install fails. To determine if that repair is necessary, post to the forum, and someone will be able to help you to find out which repairs might be necessary.

If you are installing on a hard drive for the first time an operating system, remember to read this tip on formatting:

Macs that have 10.4.3 or earlier can't upgrade past 10.5.8. Macs that are G4 867 Mhz or greater (including 1 Ghz or greater), and G5 can be upgraded at least to 10.5.8. Firewire only Macs that are slower can only upgrade to 10.4.11. Intel Macs can at minimum upgrade to 10.6 if they have 1 GB of RAM. For more on your options, read on. Also the same Macs that came with 10.4.3 or earlier, also may benefit from not upgrading past 10.4.11, as Classic is not compatible with 10.5 and up. See this tip, to find out if you need Classic.

Compatible phones are listed here with 10.4.11:

Compatible printers with 10.4:

Compatible printers with Intel Macs from 10.4.4 to 10.4.11:

10.4 users with Intel Macs, should seriously consider upgrading to at minimum 10.5.8 as a Flashback malware is currently only treated in 10.5.8, 10.6.8, and 10.7.3 and higher, though disabling Java can also help. For more info, read this tip.

Any Mac with a Firewire port such as is shown in the 3 ports on the image (two 6 pin Firewire 400 and 1 Firewire 800 are shown, though only one of those types of ports is needed) below,

and a DVD drive can boot into Tiger, until new releases came out October 26, 2007. The full requirements are here:

Tiger introduced Spotlight to replace the old Find File, for some Panther's Find File is sufficient, and this tip explains

what you can do to maintain most of Tiger's compatibility without having to upgrade to Tiger:

Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) came on several versions of retail installer DVDs that look like . If you still need Tiger over Panther, but do not like Spotlight, here's some alternatives:

http://www.devontechnologies.com/products/freeware/ - EasyFind

http://www.osxbytes.com/ - iFileX (note the MacUpdate link provided on osxbytes page has a Malware advertisement for MacKeeper, do not download).

There was a limited Media Exchange program

version of Tiger that came on similarly labelled CDs, which are hard to find but are useful for Macs that can't boot off internal DVD discs (since they didn't ship with a DVD drive, or obtaining a bootable DVD drive is difficult) or external DVD discs, but do have Firewire. Those Macs include some of the PCI Graphics PowerMac G4, and the Blue and white G3 tower Macs.

10.4(.0), (April 29, 2005), 10.4.3 (October 31, 2005), 10.4.6 (April 3, 2006) were all retail releases that did not say Upgrade, Dropin, or OEM. Though Intel Macs which started shipping with 10.4.4, can't take any of those retail discs, and must use the installer disc that shipped with them, until 10.5 (Leopard)'s release, at which point, they could use either a retail Leopard release, or the disc that shipped with them, until new Macs started shipping again December 15, 2008. If upgrading to an Intel Mac from a G3, G4, or G5, be sure to read this tip on migrating data. Also as part of the Intel Mac releases 10.4.5 to 10.4.11 (note 10.4.0, 10.4.1 are both older than 10.4.5) came in both PowerPC and Intel releases. Look at Apple menu -> About This Mac to determine if you have a G3, G4, G5 (all are PowerPC), or an Intel Mac. You can't

use the updater of one on the other.

Below is a table of 10.4 updates. Combo updates can be used on any preceding version of 10.4. including the update it is going to as long as updates not included in the combo were not applied. Delta updates only on the immediate preceding version. Note which ones below are for PowerPC (PPC) and Intel. Do not install a PPC update on an Intel, or vice versa.

Some Macs capable of having Tiger installed may benefit by having Leopard installed instead.

Read the tip below to find out if yours qualifies:

Also note, that iLife prebundled software started changing with Tiger. See this tip on what was prebundled and what wasn't:

Note also, Leopard removes Classic support, but not Mac OS X booting support for those that already had it.

See this tip to find out which Macs are able to boot into 10.5 and 9:

Every major version of ~~Mac OS X~~ macOS has come with a new default wallpaper. As you can see, I have collected them all here.

While great in their day, the early wallpapers are now quite small in the world of 5K and 6K displays.

If you want to see detailed screenshots of every release of OS X, click here.

If you are looking for Mac OS 9 wallpapers, this page is for you.

10.0 Cheetah & 10.1 Puma

The first two releases of Mac OS X shared the same wallpaper. The sweeping blue arcs and curves helped set the tone of the new Aqua interface.
