[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1648444, member: 42497"] PowerPC applications were made exclusively at the time for, of course, PowerPC machines, the last of which were the G5 models. Heading the list of these application would be Office 2004. Office 2008 and of course 2011 are compatible. For what it is worth, I wpould download Yosemite, do a backup as I suggested to an external drive, burn a thumb drive with Yosemite on it, boot from the thumb drive, leave Installer and in Utilities > Disk Utility > Erase and format the drive Mac OS Extended (Journaled), back to installer and run. Update to OS X.10.2 and with that external backup connected, run Migration Assistant from Utilities. [/QUOTE]
