how to upgrade mac os 10.4 11 to leopard

I made the mistake of doing so this one time. I never, ever take the info of a brand new Poster at face value. Maybe the reason you got OS X 10.5 discs is that Apple may no longer have any type of OS X 10.4 Tiger discs available any longer. So, what you have there are system replacement discs. I needed to definitely confirm your info as I had been recommending this info, based on what you told me, to help out other Posters/Users who could get OS X 10.5 Leopard cheap instead of paying the expensive prices online and many of these Posters are coming back and telling me they can't just simply order a set of these discs as standard retail OS X 10.4 or 10.5 discs.Īpple is telling them OS X 10.5 is no longer available and hasn't been for quite some time. Will that continue to work on 10.6 Will ILife continue to work 3) I have heard that 10.6 is actually faster than 10.4. They are simply replacement system discs that normally come with older Macs out of the box! Period! Why Will Snow Leopard work on my machine Do I need to buy the box set 2) I have IWork 08 installed right now. If it's a Core Duo model with 1 GB or RAM or more, then you can upgrade to Snow Leopard only.

So, your theories are all wet as to the reason why Apple sells these. Reply Me too (46) All replies 2 replies Kappy Level 10 361,679 points 9:32 AM in response to jorgefromwestchester You must have an Intel Mac to start.

No PowerMac G5 ever shipped with OS X 10.5 Leopard! None!Īll PowerMac G5s shipped with some version of OS X 10.4 Tiger, originally. This is how they determine what OS X version the Mac originally was installed and shipped with. This is why Apple asks you to supply the specific Mac serial number! I have just today called the phone number you provided and confirmed that the discs you received were Mac model specific OS install discs and not just OS X 10.5 retail discs made available as a retail replacement.Īlso, I am confused and curious how you were able to obtain OS X 10.5 Leopard replacement discs as Apple only ships OS X replacement discs with the OS X version that was originally installed on the specific Mac model when it was shipped new. It is quite simple to upgrade from MacOS X 10.5 'Leopard' to MacOS X 10.
