    Mac Classic in OS 10.4.9

    Once a year I have to launch OS9 on an old Quicksilver Mac for a very profitable project. Currently I am running OS 10.4.8.

    Can I upgrade to 10.4.9 so that my son can update iTunes and still launch Mac Classic?

    Thank you.

    Thank you.
    The latest version of MacOS X 10.4 is MacOS X 10.4.11. It is still supported by Apple. Only yesterday, Apple released a security update for this OS. I have no idea why you would even consider that MacOS X 10.4.9 would render things that worked under MacOS X 10.4.8 inoperable. Classic works fine under every version of MacOS X 10.x up through MacOS X 10.4.11. This includes MacOS X 10.4.9. Whatever capability you have in MacOS X 10.4.8 you will retain in MacOS X 10.4.11.

    Mac Classic

    Thank you very much. In the back of my mind I am thinking that I can't upgrade that computer to 10.4.11. I could be wrong, I only work on it once a year. Mainly my kids use it.

    If the computer can run 10.4.8, then it can most definitely run 10.4.11.

    Highly recommend downloading the "Combo" 10.4.11 updater from Apple's site and installing it on that computer:
