Hi all,

I am trying to get an old G4 tower up and running. I have got it starting up but it needs to update the OS to run the apps I need. I need to go from 9.04 to 9.1 but can't seem to find a usable download. The one that is in the list of files on this forum gives a message saying that the web page has moved. I've tried googling a few and the downloads come as img files but when I try to use them on the G4 they have the PC icon (not a known app).

It's really frustrating to have come this far. If anyone has any suggestions I would be most grateful.

Cheers

I'm in the same boat and glad that it's not just me. I tried several download links and all say the website is no longer there. Hoping someone knows what's up.

Try Mac Gardens:

There does seem to be a problem with the DL here (just now).

OK... so the full 9.1 installer IS working and is here:

If you simply need the 9.1 Update patch (which is a small file) to go from 9.04 to 9.1
