This post will aggregate a collection of links and resources for finding and downloading old Mac software, including old Mac system software, old Macintosh applications, and more, for everything from older Intel Macs, to PowerPC Macs, to 68040 and 030 Macs.

Older Software For Mac

I used to use the cover/title design templates from iDVD to export into the old FCP for special effects. Apple really did a good job with that software back in the mid-2000s. Very impressive. I really miss how easy it was to use.

And Classilla, for Mac OS 9, is another web browser option. Classilla is based on Mozilla browser but tries to use the mobile versions of websites to keep things slim and faster on older Macs, it actually works pretty well too!

This is about downloading old Mac OS software, like System 7, Mac OS 8, or ResEdit, KidPix, or Hypercard, specifically for old Macs. This article has nothing to do with APFS or High Sierra, High Sierra is a newer operating system, like Mojave, etc.

I love Snow Leopard and only upgraded to OS X 10.9.5 for upgraded browser support by Firefox. I wish Firefox still supported Snow Leopard but what can you do. I may go back to Snow Leopard one day as it is so much faster and stable compared to any other version of OS X. In reality, what do operating systems really offer that can not already be done? Just wish developers would keep supporting older operating systems, such as Snow Leopard and XP.

This is an article about where to find and download old Mac software, not an article about which computer processor architectures can run which versions of system software. Please correct your comment.

Peggy, if it works for you then I would stay put on 10.6.8 as that is a famously stable release of Mac OS system software that runs great. Just for some reference I have several Macs running older versions like you and they still work great. AppleWorks was transformed into Pages, for better or worse. With your Mac the main thing I would probably do is get more RAM as more memory always improves performance, as does an SSD hard disk, if you want performance boost, but why mess with software when what you have works?

There are actually multiple methods you can use to install an older version of the Mac operating system on your Mac. The most appropriate method for you will depend on a number of factors including whether you want to run more than one version of macOS.

Since Mac OS X 10.7 versions of the Mac operating system are only licensed to be run in a virtual machine if the host Mac is running the same version. This means that installing an OS X 10.8 VM on a Mac running another version of OS X is a violation of the 10.8 software license agreement. The newest version of OS X that can legally be run in a virtual machine with a different OS X host is Snow Leopard (10.6).

There are a number of software packages that make it possible to run multiple versions of the Mac OS (and even Windows) on your Mac. These include Parallels, VMware Fusion, Virtual Box. Find out which is best by reading: Parallels, VMware, VirtualBox compared.

Although it's not something you should do regularly due to potential security issues, there will always be times when you might need to download old versions of software and apps. For example, maybe the newest version has bugs, has lost features, or is no longer compatible with your operating system.

However, in March 2015 (and under the guidance of a new CEO), Softonic committed to cleaning up its act. Today, the site is much more trustworthy and has become a solid repo of old apps for you to download. Old software is available for Windows, Mac, Android, iPhone, and various web apps.

FileHippo's main selling point is its handpicked list of the latest versions of the best software for Windows and Mac. However, for popular apps, the site also offers extensive back catalogs of old versions of apps and software.

Apps on the site are updated daily with new versions, icons, screenshots, and other related material. All changelogs are available, and all software that is available for download on the site is first checked for viruses and malware using the VirusTotal and Google Safe Browsing tools.

Of course, old versions of software and apps (for both Windows and Mac) are also available. To find the old versions of apps, just click through to an app's listing and use the dropdown list adjacent to Old Versions at the top of the page.

The security practices on APKPure are just as rigorous as those found on APKMirror. All apps are verified using SHA1, it uses cryptographic signature matching, and all new apps are verified using other software from the same developer.

Use the MyHarmony desktop software or Harmony mobile app* to set up and sign in to your account. From there, you can add devices, set up Harmony Activities, and make changes to your configuration. If you have a Harmony hub-based product, use the Harmony mobile app to set up and configure Harmony.

Some of our older remotes, such as Harmony One, 880, 900, 1000, and 1100, use the Logitech Harmony Remote Software v7.x to add devices and get everything set up (see list). You can also use the software to make configuration changes in the future. Harmony One, 600, 650 and 700 remote users may upgrade to MyHarmony if they previously used remote software 7.x to set up their remote.

You will also receive a prompt about keystrokes. It is not necessary to grant access for this. Logitech Harmony Remote legacy software uses the JavaFX engine, one feature of the engine is to receive keystrokes, we do not use this feature.

This was done to eliminate issues related to browser plug-in issues and increasing browser security policies. All existing account information still exists and is accessible by downloading and signing in to the new software.

Download Elgato Video Capture 2.0.2 for MacElgato Video Capture 2.0.2 will work on an Intel Mac with 10.11 or later. However, we recommend macOS 10.13 or later with all software and security updates installed. Read me

Please see the list below. It is recommended to review the platform information on IBM Software Product Compatibility Reports. The installation of IBM SPSS Statistics software on Apple Macintosh OSX operating systems requires an Intel processor.

Support for IBM SPSS Statistics 25, it's Fixpacks and upcoming SPSS Statistics main releases. Please note that no other SPSS releases will be officially supported on Mojave, but older versions like SPSS Statistics 24 may run as well on 10.14 OSX.

Support for IBM SPSS Statistics 25 only. Please note that no other SPSS release will be officially supported on High Sierra, but older versions like SPSS Statistics 24 may run as well on High Sierra.

There is, in fact, hope for users of many old Mac models. With a bit of effort, you can use a source-available, third-party utility that makes it possible for you to run the latest macOS version on significantly older hardware, with (for the most part) relatively minimal caveats.

Congratulations! Your older Mac will now be able to keep up with the latest security updates. Although firmware updates are not included (those are model-specific, and Apple only releases them for supported Macs), your macOS will nevertheless be much more secure than it was with the old version of Mac OS X you were running before.

I tried to download and install an older version of QGIS, but I don't understand how it works... I downloaded and opened this file: qgis-2.0.0.tar.bz2, but I don't see any program file here. I also tried to download the two .exe-files for this version, but I couldn't open them on my mac.

Keep in mind that some plugins will not work with older QGIS versions, so you might catch and install older plugin versions manually if you need them. And current QGIS project files might corrupt if opened with older versions.

Not only can you run the latest and greatest operating systems, you can also emulate older operating systems whether it's on PowerPC, SPARC, or x86_64. Check out the gallery for some examples of what you can run.

Unlike other free virtualization software, UTM was created for macOS and only for Apple platforms. It is designed completely from the ground up for the new style introduced in Big Sur. UTM looks and feels like a Mac app with all the privacy and security features you expect as well.

Under the hood of UTM is QEMU, a decades old, free and open source emulation software that is widely used and actively maintained. While QEMU is powerful, it can be difficult to set up and configure with its plethora of command line options and flags. UTM is designed to give users the flexibility of QEMU without the steep learning curve that comes with it.

No, probably not. UTM does not currently support GPU emulation/virtualization on Windows and therefore lacks support for 3D acceleration (e.g. OpenGL and DirectX). You may be able to run older games with software rendering options, but nothing with hardware acceleration. There is experimental support for hardware OpenGL acceleration on Linux through Virgl.
