Apple Macintosh

What operating systems are available for the Macs?

Currently the UCC's Apple Macintosh computers are running various versions of MacOS. including MacOS 9 and MacOS X Server (also known as Rhapsody and Darwin). MacOS X is a result of Apple's purchase of NeXT and is effectively a successor to NeXTstep.

I can't log in to Mac OS X. How do I boot to Mac OS?

This section only applies to the G3, which dual boots Mac OS X and Mac OS 9. Mac OS X does not at the time of writing have all user accounts. If you want to use MacOS rather than Mac OS X click the 'Restart' button and hold down 'Option' until you see the MacOS logo.

The default operating system is Mac OS X. If want to use Mac OS X simply reboot the machine -- Mac OS X will boot automatically.
