Get hold of a 10.9 installer on a USB stick from a friend with a 10.9 Mac & restore /Users from backup after a wipe & fresh install of 10.9?

  I think this issue is that it might be the case the hardware isn't even supported on newer OS X releases.

    Yes they stopped building PPC support after 10.5
    • coherentpony 13y ago
      Not just PPC. They also stopped support certain intel hardware too.
      • ams6110 13y ago
        That's true. The latest OSX releases won't install on some of the early Intel Macs. I've heard it's possible, with a certain amount of hacking, to get an early Intel MacPro for example to run 10.8 or maybe even 10.9 but it's unsupported.

  That works but it's not exactly an easy upgrade path.
