If your unable to create a bootable Mac OS CD/DVD to restore Mac OS from the online image on your systems hard drive you may need to find a real Apple OS-X CD/DVD or bring your system to an Apple store for them to re-install the OS for you if.

When nothing else worked when trying to install Mac OS X Leopard onto my PowerBook G4 1.67GHz without the original installation DVD, here's what eventually did.

What you'll need

  • PowerPC-based Mac you want to install OS X on by using a USB drive
  • ...USB drive (16GB or more in capacity; 8GB might work, but come on, it's 2020)
  • Second old Mac that already boots Mac OS X Leopard (other versions may work, but are untested. All I know is that my macOS Catalina hackintosh did NOT work)

Part 1: Preparing the disk image for restore

  1. Boot up your second old Mac running Mac OS X Leopard
  2. Download #31 (Leopard_10_5_4.dmg_.zip) from here and extract the DMG
  3. Scan the DMG for restore using Disk Utility ('Images' -> 'Scan Image For Restore...')
  4. Lock the DMG (right-click -> 'Get Info' -> check 'Locked')

Part 2: Restoring the disk image to the USB

  1. Format your USB as 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)' using the 'Apple Partition Map' using Disk Utility
  2. Restore the DMG to your USB using Disk Utility, making sure you check 'Erase destination' (open the Restore tab, drag and drop the DMG to the 'Source' field, drop and drop the partition you formatted in Part2Step1 to the 'Destination' field)
  3. Eject your USB drive and plug it into the PowerPC-based Mac you want to install OS X on

Part 3: Installing Mac OS X (okay kids, this is where it gets complicated - mostly copy/pasted from here; follow that if this doesn't work for some reason)

  1. Boot your PowerPC-based Mac into OpenFirmware (power it down and hold Command + Option + O + F while powering it back up)
  2. Run dev / ls and look for the entry with '/disk@1' at the end of it (in my case 'usb@1b,1')
  3. Run devalias and look for the entry with the text you found in Part3Step2 at the end of it (in my case 'usb0')
  4. Run dir text_from_Part3Step3/disk@1:3,SystemLibraryCoreServices (a.k.a. dir usb0/disk@1:3...) and make sure the entry that contains 'BootX' also contains 'tbxi' (if it doesn't, panic!)
  5. Run boot text_from_Part3Step3/disk@1:3,SystemLibraryCoreServicesBootX (a.k.a. boot usb0/disk@1:3...)
  6. You should see a little spinner, then some white-on-grey text, and finally the Apple logo. Congratulations, you've successfully booted your accursed PowerPC Mac from a USB drive! The installation process is the same from here on out as if you were booting from an official Mac OS X Install DVD.

Apple last updated the 15″ PowerBook in October 2005, making dual-layer SuperDrives standard and putting in higher resolution displays along with a faster memory bus. Because of their 1440 x 960 resolution displays (vs. 1280 x 854 used by prior 15″ aluminum PowerBooks), these 1.67 GHz models are designated hi-res in our listings to distinguish them from earlier models.

We posted a look at hi-rse PowerBook value in late 2005, The October 2005 PowerBook Value Equation. For an overview of the whole line, see Low End Mac’s Compleat Guide to the 15″ PowerBook.

The 15″ PowerBook G4 has two memory slots; earlier models shipped with 256 MB of RAM. We recommend no less than 512 MB for good OS X performance with Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and 1 GB for 10.5 Leopard, the last version supported by G4 Macs. All aluminum G4 PowerBooks are able to run Mac OS X 10.5 – with 1.0 GHz to 1.67 GHz CPU speeds and room for 2 GB of RAM (which only costs $25-75 these days), they can handle it well.

The 15″ and 17″ aluminum PowerBooks include FireWire 800, gigabit ethernet, and a CardBus slot. 802.11g AirPort Extreme WiFi was standard with all 15″ aluminum PowerBooks except for the 1.0 GHz model, so we try to note when it is not included.

Note that original batteries have probably lost most of their capacity over the years. Other World Computing sells the NewerTech NuPowr 58 Watt-Hour battery, which has up to 26% more capacity than Apple’s original battery, for $69.

The 15″ MacBook Pro replaced the 15″ PowerBook in early 2006; it has since been replaced by even more powerful models based on the Intel Core 2 Duo CPU.

The best deals are marked in bold type in the full listings below. Prices are for used PowerBooks unless otherwise noted. Used PowerBooks typically include a 90-day warranty.
