I got a PowerMac G5 about a year ago, grabbed it to use as a secondary computer or to sell. It didn't come with a hard drive, but I finally grabbed a 250GB drive and threw it in there (after formatting to exFAT and making it a GPT). I've got OSX Yosemite installer from Transmac onto my USB drive. (PNY USB 3.0 64GB) I hold down ALT/Option and I get a screen that only shows a refresh icon and an arrow facing right. Does the hard drive need to be reformatted somehow? Can the G5 for some reason not install from a 3.0 Drive? Should I try loading the .dmg onto a DVD and installing that way?
Hello.
I am looking for advice about how to upgrade this wonderful machine and the OS. Really love it - have it since forever - 2006, I think - and hope I can still upgrade the OS to the Snow Leopard ..eventually (?).
Do I need to buy CD box set from Apple? (My support with Apple ended longest time ago.)
Do I need to change something in the computer /hardware?
Like is it a big problem that it does not have an Intel processor (sorry if this is a silly question and if I actually have such)?
Thank you!

The Power Mac G5 is a series of personal computers designed, manufactured, and sold by Apple Computer, Inc. From 2003 to 2006 as part of the Power Mac series. Apple iphone safari. When introduced, it was the most powerful computer in Apple's Macintosh lineup, and was marketed by the company as the world's first 64-bit desktop computer. It was also the first desktop computer from Apple to use an anodized aluminum. Tiger is generally considered the very best version of Mac OS X produced for the PowerPC. It was truly optimized for the PowerPC G4 and G5 in all aspects (even runs great on G3s) and is significantly smoother than Mac OS X 10.3 Panther on systems that support Tiger when provided with ample RAM.

- I'm running Mac OS X, V 10.5.8, dual 2.5 GHz Power PC G5, 5.5 CB DDR SDRAM, and, have not been able to download latest Firefox after 3.6.23. What is the remedy, what are the requirements-ASAP? ThanX read more.
- My original testbed was a Late 2005 2.3 GHz Power Mac G5 Dual with 3 GB of RAM and two hard drives, one with OS X 10.4 Tiger, the other with OS X 10.5 Leopard.It’s my most powerful PowerPC Mac, so I figured it would be a good way to take Linux for a spin.
