How do you downgrade from Mac OS X to Mac OS 9?
You cannot without erasing your hard drive and installing Mac OS 9 from scratch. Even then Mac OS 9 may not run on modern Mac hardware because Mac OS 9 needs the ROM chip to boot. Modern Mac OS X hardware uses EFI to boot the system instead of a ROM chip to boot. Mac OS X v10.0 - Mac OS X v10.4 support Mac OS 9 applications and can run them, you just need to install the Mac OS 9 compatibility program which can be found on the Mac OS X Install CD.
How do you install Mac OS 9.2.2 on Ibook running Mac OS 10.4?
If it is a G4 iBook produced after 2002 it may not be able to run Mac OS 9 separately. Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) uses the Classic Environment which runs Mac OS 9 within Mac OS X. There will be a Classic option in the System Preferences where you can verify that the Mac OS 9 System Folder is available. Double clicking a Mac OS 9 application should launch the Classic Environment. If this does not happen then: If you have a boxed retail version you can reinstall Mac OS 9 by inserting the Mac OS 9 disc, restating the computer and holding down the C key while it starts up. This will boot the computer from the Mac OS 9 CD rather than the hard disc. Open the Installer, Click the Options button and then tick the Clean Install option. Install Mac OS 9. Or: If you have Mac OS 9 on a Restore disc that came with the computer Open Software Restore and select Restore Mac OS 9 Only. If the computer originally had an earlier version of Mac OS X and is now no longer compatible with the original Restore disc you can download an updated version from the Apple support site (See links below) by clicking the Accept And Download link at the bottom of the page.

Mac OS X (say Mac OS Ten) is the tenth version of the operating system (OS) that controls a Macintosh computer (known as a Mac for short). The equivalent for some other computers would be the Windows operating system. Mac OS X has been around for nearly ten years and replaced Mac OS 9 which was the last version of what is known as the "classic" Mac OS. Although a few Macs still use Mac OS 9 all Macs sold since 2002 have come with Mac OS X and would now be considered a regular Mac. (See links below)
