![]() ![]() When you go to create a new virtual machine you can point to the El Capitan installer you downloaded in Step 3 above, and you don't even need to make a bootable USB out of it, you can just point Parallels to the installer and the installation of the virtual machine begins. Once you have your iMac updated with the latest macOS, and Parallels is installed, you can create an El Capitan virtual machine in Parallels. The iLife 09 version was the final DVD release if I recall and so will have the final set of features and I know it works with El Capitan. Why? It's just stable and runs some software operating systems like Sierra and newer stopped supporting.Ĥ) I'd recommend buying the iLife/iWork 09 DVDs off eBay if the ones you have are older. I recommend El Capitan to run older software like iLife/iWork. You can go here to download El Capitan, Sierra, etc installers. You won't need any of the advanced features/tools of the annual subscription version if you're just running some old iLife software.ģ) Download the OS X installer you want to run in Parallels. But more RAM and faster SSD are always preferred if possible.ġ) I recommend using the latest macOS your machine will support (Monterey).Ģ) Buy a single/perpetual/one time license of Parallels and install it. Once it's up and running and you're using iWeb or iDVD, should be fine. Parallels will run sluggishly on 8GB or with a traditional/hybrid/fusion drive, but it will work. If possible, I recommend at least 16GB RAM and an SSD for storage as that will give you the best experience. In your case, if you have a 2016 iMac (or maybe a mid/late 2015 as doesn't list a 2016 iMac), it likely came with El Capitan preinstalled and will support up to macOS Monterey installed. I can install Mojave or any macOS version after Mojave that supports Intel CPUs, but can't install earlier OSes such as El Capitan or Sierra. For example, my 2019 MacBook Pro came with Mojave pre-installed. To answer your second question, for some time now, the oldest macOS you can physically install on your Mac is the version that came with it. VMware also has a similar product called Fusion which does more or less the same thing as Parallels. If this doesn't make sense, go to the Parallels website to learn more about virtualization if you're new to it. Parallels allows you to run older operating systems (Windows, Linux, macOS) virtually on top of your installed macOS. To answer your first question, by using Parallels, there's no need to install/downgrade the OS on your computer. I currently have iLife/iWork 09 installed on El Capitan in a virtual machine on Parallels 17 on macOS Big Sur. If you don't have iLife/iWork 09 you can still pick up used discs on eBay for around $20 for both. ![]() I recommend using the final iLife version that came on DVD (iLife 09). Do I need to shut down the web-site and create a no-cost blog? If so, is there a way to connect a blog to our event's Facebook page?Ĭlick to expand.All my suggestions assume you're using an Intel (not PowerPC) Mac/iMac/Mini/Pro/etc with Intel compatible software (not sure if 2004 versions of iLife/iWork will install on newer macOS). Is there anything out there in 2022? I honestly have no idea. I would like to find something that I could post a simple calendar link to, so that people could visit the site on a computer, phone, or tablet, and have a link so they could add the event date to their personal calendar. One thing I really liked about iWeb on the Mac is that it could handle using PostScript images created in either PDF or Illustrator format as re-size-able web page graphics (like a map created in Illustrator) with no problem. I have been using iWeb for almost 15 years and since it is no longer actively supported by Apple, and obviously won't run on any new Macintosh, I was wondering if anyone has an idea where I can find a no-cost or low-cost modern replacement for iWeb that will run on Apple Silicon. I use GoDaddy to maintain the site name and web-server space. As a volunteer, I publish a small public web-site to promote an annual history one-day event each June. If I make a new Mac my main machine, I'm left with a dilemma. ![]() I may buy a new Apple Silicon Macintosh in the coming weeks or months, which will obviously not run the older software. I intend to retain the old iMac to run older Mac software and also to maybe install Windows to run Intel Windows-only software. I want to stay at 10.14 "Mojave" on the old iMac for as long as possible. ![]() Currently, I'm using a late-2013 iMac with a Core i5 processor, running MacOS 10.12 "Sierra" and looking to clean-install MacOS 10.14 "Mojave" in the near-term. ![]()
