How to Install Mac OS X 10.5.5 Leopard on VirtualBox 3.1.4March 29, 2010 By Dinesh 238 Comments
Updated on 05/05/2010
If you face any difficulties to load and run Mac OS X in this method then got to Solutions at end of this post.
Everybody likes work with Mac OS X without buying Mac Hardware on your normal PC, If you are a person like this, then you reached correct place. This article explains how to install Mac OS X 10.5.5 Leopard on VirtualBox 3.1.4. No any additional hardware or software needs to be purchased for this installation. This method is completely for testing purpose and not to use permanently or in production environment.
Mac OS X 10.5.5 installation DVD is not required and this method will work with AMD or Intel processor X 86 computers.
After two posts published about,
Install Mac OS X 10.5.5 Leopard on VMware Workstation in X86 Computer and
Install Mac OS X 10.5.5 Leopard on VMware Player 3,
I wanted to try the same Mac OS X image on Sun VirtualBox, because it is faster.
Two Issues I faced on installing Mac OS X in Sun VirtualBox with this image and without Installation DVD.
1) This VMware Image did not boot in VirtualBox.
2) Mac OS X admin password did work once it booted.
I will be explaining how to fix above issues and successfully install Mac OS X on VirtualBox. So far I did not find any articles on web to install and run Mac OS X 10.5.5 on VirtualBox without installation DVD.
Required Products for Mac OS X 10.5.5 installation.
1) Sun VirtualBox
2) Mac OS X 10.5.5 VMware image
3) Intel and AMD processor virtualization utility
Installation Steps
1) Download the Mac OS X VMware Image here. ( it’s an torrent download & approx 1.9GB size)
2) Extract the downloaded image by WinRar.
3) Now, Open VirtualBox. Create a new virtual machine with following configuration.
Operating System – BSD
Version ? FreeBSD
Mother Board Extended Features ? Select Enable IO APIC,
Processor Extended Features -Select Enable PAE/NX
Acceleration Hardware Virtualization ? Select Enable VT-x/AMD-V
If you can’t see Acceleration tab under system settings, it means hardware virtualization is not enabled on motherboard BIOS. This Mac OS X VMware image works only with hardware virtualization enabled computers on VirtualBox. If this is not available on your computer, then you can use same Mac OS X image with VMware Player 3 to run Leopard 10.5.5 on X 86 computers.
Allocate memory ? Minimum 1GB
Hard disk ? Select Existing hard disk and add converted Mac OS X VMDK file. You can see the hard disk size as 30GB. When adding the Mac VMDK file, attach as ICH6 or PIIX4 only. If you select PIIX3, Mac will hang with booting screen.
Read more here how to add vmdk files in VirtualBox as hard disk.
4) Here we go; we are ready to start Mac on VirtualBox. Don’t start the virtual machine, because it will not work now. After configured following settings, close VirtualBox application completely and change the XML file. Add the string mentioned in below step.
5) VirtualBox creates and saves virtual machine’s configurations in a XML file. Normally location is user profile -> .Virtualbox -> machines -> machine name.
Edit the XML file and add
My Mac OS X XML file looks like below,
If you are facing difficulty to start Mac OS X on VirtualBox after above settings, open the XML file and look for this string again.
6) If Mac booting screen stuck with Mac logo on VirtualBox as below, I’m sure something wrong with hardware virtualization.
7) Mac admin password with for Mac OS X Vmware image is Xelabo, as hinted below.
Now start the virtual machine, I’m sure you can see a real Mac OS X 10.5.5 leopard on VirtualBox. Below is the screen shot of running Mac OS X inside Sun VirtualBox.
9) As you could see in above screen, network is working fine with this image. I can ping to my host Windows 7 computer from Mac OS X. I set up ‘Host only’ network in VirtualBox.
To use this method to run Mac OS X in VirtualBox, hardware virtualization in BIOS and Acceleration Hardware Virtualization ? Enable VT-x/AMD-V in Sun VirtualBox should be enabled. To check whether hardware virtualization is enabled in motherboard BIOS, use AMD and Inter processer utilities.
Read more about check and enable virtualization technology in motherboard BIOS.
That’s it. Installation is done. Unfortunately VirtualBox additions cannot be installed and increased the screen resolutions. Other than these, if you face any difficulties, feel free to share.
If this method useful for in any case, just drop a comment.
Solutions
I showed the all steps what I did to run Mac on VirtualBox in my PC.
PC configurations is,
Intel Core2duo 2.66GHz,
3GB RAM
P35 Intel Chipset.
If stuck with Mac logo (without loading arrows), then check the following checks.
1) Enable IO APIC
2) Enable PAE/NX, make processors numbers 1
3) Enable VT-x
4) You can Try Enable Nested Paging. ( it worked for me without enabling it, but Tony said it worked for him after enabled)
5) IDE Controller ICH6
6) Close VirtualBox completely and open the XML file to make sure extra string is there.
7) Still it hangs? Shutdown the virtual machine and restart several times. It will work. ( Don’t ask me why)
If stuck with Mac logo (with loading arrows), then check the following checks.
1) Enable VT-x
2) Check BIOS whether hardware virtualization is enabled.
3) Run virtualization detecting tools to make sure host OS is detecting hardware virtualization. Because in some PCs, even when VT is enabled in BIOS but OS will not detect.
4) Close VirtualBox completely and open the XML file to make sure extra string is there.
I tried the same Mac OS X Leopard image in VirtualBox 3.2 beta. It worked without any changes in XML file, and I could feel the performance improvement inside virtual machine.

[Guide] How to Install Mac OS X Snow Leopard in VirtualBox with Non Apple, Intel PC
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, released on October 26, 2007, was the biggest change to Mac OS X since Apple first released OS X 10.0 in March 2001. For the first time, a version of OS X was certified as Unix, and the new unified appearance makes Leopard friendlier and less confusing for users.
Leopard itself was also a unified operating system. Where Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger had come in separate versions for PowerPC and Intel Macs, the Leopard installer could run on both platforms, and the version of Mac OS X installed could boot either type of hardware. New features included Time Machine automated backup, Stacks, and Cover Flow.
But with every big step forward in features and performance, the Mac OS leaves some older Macs behind. The number of Macs that had been supported by Tiger and left behind by Leoaprd was the biggest for any release of OS X to date: No G3 models were supported, and the installer would not run G4 Macs slower than 867 MHz, although a few workarounds were discovered to address that.
Leopard is immune to the “goto fail” bug identified in early 2014.
After 22 months as the current version of OS X (only Tiger lasted longer, at 30 months), Leopard was succeeded by 10.6 Snow Leopard on August 28, 2009, the first version of OS X to leave all PowerPC Macs behind.

Leopard Links
- Why Spaces Is My Favorite Leopard (and Snow Leopard) Feature, Charles W Moore, Miscellaneous Ramblings, 2009.11.23. Spaces, a feature introduced with OS X 10.5, is like having several monitors on your Mac without the cost and space of using multiple displays.
- The Leopard Experience at 867 MHz, Simon Royal, Tech Spectrum, 2008.12.02. Mac OS X 10.5 requires an 867 MHz G4 with 512 MB of memory, but is performance really acceptable on a minimum spec system?
- Does Constant Time Machine Activity Compromise Disk Longevity?, Charles W Moore, Miscellaneous Ramblings, 2008.09.15. Time Machine is a marquee feature of Mac OS X 10.5, but isn’t all of that disk activity likely to wear our your drive prematurely?
- SheepShaver Brings Classic Mac OS to Intel Macs and Leopard, Alan Zisman, Mac2Windows, 2008.05.20. Mac OS X 10.5 doesn’t support Classic Mode. Neither does Leopard. But SheepShaver lets you emulate a PowerPC Mac and run the Classic Mac OS.
- Restoring a Crashed Mac with an Install Disc and Time Machine, Alan Zisman, Zis Mac, 2008.02.06. Thanks to Leopard’s Time Machine backup feature, it’s easy to restore your Mac to an earlier setup if you’ve inadvertently deleted essential files.
- Leopard different, a bit buggy, but worth the upgrade, Adam Robert Guha, Apple Archive, 2007.11.02. Leopard on a Power Mac G4 and a MacBook Pro: It runs well on both computers, but each has some odd bugs, and some of the changes are a step backwards.
Downloadable Updates
Standalone Updates let you update to a newer version of Mac OS X from your hard drive instead of using Software Update, which requires an Internet connection. Download the one(s) you need and install them after mounting the disk image and launching the Installer program.
There are two types of Standalone Updates: Individual (or Delta) and Combo.
- Individual Updates update one version of Mac OS X to the next version. For example, the Mac OS X 10.5.4 Update updates Mac OS X 10.5.3 to version 10.5.4. Individual Updates are also known as Delta Updates.
- Combo Updates update the base version of a Mac OS X release to the version specified in the Combo Update, including all intermediate updates. For example, the Mac OS X 10.5.4 Combo Update updates any earlier version of Mac OS X 10.5 to Mac OS X 10.5.4 using a single installer, as opposed to installing the individual Mac OS X 10.5.1, 10.5.2, 10.5.3, and 10.5.4 updates.
Standalone Updates are generally available 24 to 48 hours after the Update is available through Software Update.
If you burn a Standalone Update to CD, its disk image must be copied to your desktop or another location on your Mac OS X startup disk in order to be installed.
This page will be updated as new Standalone Updates become available.
