I’m going to do my best to explain what to do.

In order to create a VMware virtual machine of Mac OS X 10.4, there are several challenges that you have to overcome. Who knows - maybe it’s still useful for certain developers who still need to test how things work on 10.4 without keeping an old power-hungry machine around that is capable of running it. With that said, I really doubt Apple cares about such an old version of OS X these days, and I think creating a VM of it is a really cool thing to do for educational purposes. And technically, it’s against OS X’s license agreement to virtualize it (same with the non-server versions of 10.5 and 10.6). Nobody’s really using it anymore because it’s so old. It was only bundled with the first Intel Macs before 10.5 “Leopard” came out in 2007.īecause of the way it was weirdly released, it’s not super common to virtualize OS X 10.4 for Intel. There wasn’t a retail copy of the Intel version of Tiger. Because the Intel version came out in 2006 after the PowerPC version had already been in stores, it’s kind of a weird release. It was also the version that Apple first used on its Intel Macs in 2006. We appreciate all of our customers, and it is very important to us to keep your data backed up!
