mac OS 9 is the previous Apple Macintosh Operating System version, before Mac OS 10, or X as it has been advertised as. Mac OS 9 does not utilize the 'aqua' look of the modern mac interface, but instead uses a chunky grey interface.

What else can I help you with?
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 I get Mac OS 9 software to work on OSX?
Mac OS 9 software requires Mac OS 9, which was discontinued in 2002, to work.

It will depend upon your specific Mac model whether a version of Mac OS 9 can be persuaded to work.

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)
My Mac g3 doesn't have the same look as a regular Mac why not?
There could be several reasons. One likely one is that you do not have a modern version of Mac OS X. G3s shipped with Mac OS 8.6 or Mac OS 9. They cannot run Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) at all, and can only run Mac OS X 10.4 with hefty and usually unsupported upgrades. In the Related links section, you will find screenshots of Mac OS 8.6, Mac OS 9, Max OS X 10.0, and Mac OS X 10.1, so you can get an idea of what those systems look like, and if they look like the one you are running. There is also a link on how you can upgrade older Macs, although it is probably not worth the effort.
