• According to Apple, the Classic Mac OS is dead (see this video from April 2002), but that’s not really true.It’s still alive and well and being used – just no longer with any support from Apple. At Low End Mac, we continued to use Mac OS 9.2.2 daily well into 2013, albeit via Classic Mode in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.

Is your Mac up to date with the latest version of the Mac operating system? Is it using the version required by a product that you want to use with your Mac? Which versions are earlier (older) or later (newer, more recent)? To find out, learn which version is installed now.

UPDATE: DMX Is Still On Life Support; Online Rumors Of His Passing Are ‘False’ This evening, rumors exploded on the internet that DMX had officially passed away after fighting for his life a week after being rushed to the hospital following a reported overdose.

If your macOS isn't up to date, you may be able to update to a later version.

Which macOS version is installed?

From the Apple menu  in the corner of your screen, choose About This Mac. You should see the macOS name, such as macOS Big Sur, followed by its version number. If you need to know the build number as well, click the version number to see it.

Which macOS version is the latest?

These are all Mac operating systems, starting with the most recent. When a major new macOS is released, it gets a new name, such as macOS Big Sur. As updates that change the macOS version number become available, this article is updated to show the latest version of that macOS.

If your Mac is using an earlier version of any Mac operating system, you should install the latest Apple software updates, which can include important security updates and updates for the apps that are installed by macOS, such as Safari, Books, Messages, Mail, Music, Calendar, and Photos.

Although the Classic Mac OS remains useful, it’s getting hard to find at a reasonable price. We hope these links help you do so, whether for System 6, Mac OS 9.2.2, or something in between.

According to Apple, the Classic Mac OS is dead (see this video from April 2002), but that’s not really true. It’s still alive and well and being used – just no longer with any support from Apple. At Low End Mac, we continued to use Mac OS 9.2.2 daily well into 2013, albeit via Classic Mode in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.

We’ve scoured the Web in search of online stores that have the Classic Mac OS available, and we’ve found System 6.0.8 on floppies, Mac OS 9.2.2 CDs, and many versions in between. Note that some install CDs are specific to certain computers; we do our best to note that when possible.

We’ve also added links for some software titles for the Classic Mac OS: AppleWorks, Adobe Photoshop, iMovie, and more.

If you have a Mirrored Drive Doors Power Mac G4 or a PowerBook G4 with DVI output, be sure to look for the 2002 version of the Mac OS 9.2.2 install CD. The 2001 version predates these models and will not create a bootable system for them, although it will create a system that can be used in Classic Mode.

Note that you can download System 6.0.8 and 7.5.3 (plus the 7.5.5 update) from Apple. See our Classic Mac OS Downloads and Updates for links and more information.

Classic Mac OS Upgrade Guide

In many instances, Apple offers free downloadable updates to those with earlier versions of the Mac OS. Sometimes this has to be done in multiple steps. The final revision is usually more stable and/or feature complete. Note that you must have a Mac with an Apple floppy drive to create 800K floppies. USB floppy drives only support high density (1.4M) Mac floppies, not 800K diskettes.

• Systems 6.0.8 and 7.0.1 can be downloaded for free from Apple and copied to floppy disks.
• System 7.5.3 can also be downloaded for free, but the files are not disk images. Any version of System 7.5.x can be updated to 7.5.5, although a few Macs do not support 7.5.5.
• Mac OS 7.6 can be updated to 7.6.1.
• Mac OS 8.0 can be updated to 8.1.
• Mac OS 8.5 and 8.5.1 can be updated to 8.6.
