OS X :: Upgrade To Leopard On Emac?
Feb 23, 2010
i am trying to upgrade my old emac.
after going to the apple store, a store tech said they no longer had
tiger for ppc emacs.. and to go to ebay that they had plenty.
well i cant seem to find tiger 10.4 but i have found leopard.
i know there is no difference between the ppc and the intel as both versions come on the disk but my question is is there a difference between the macbook and the emac ver.
this is the version i found.. for macbook Mac OS Leopard version 10.5.4 AHT version 3A152 Disk version: 1.2 2Z691-6311-A
Will this work in a emac
its a restore disk so im thinking it should..

I have found disks that say "media only" for really cheap and I realize those aren't licenses but since the eMac has Tiger wouldn't it already have an OSX license? Links to products would be nice if possible.

I changed from at&t to comcast and I have had so many problems with emailing. I finally got comcast to get me to atleast be able to read my email but I can't reply to any emails. My operation system is a Mac OS X 10.3. My apple system correlates to M8951LL/A specs. I think that comcast only supports OS X 10.4 and higher, mine is a 10.3. Does anyone know if I can upgrade to a 10.4 with a computer this old?
I tried to download Lion and Tiger but both of those require 10.4 minimum. Bottom line does anyone know first if it is possible to upgrade to a 10.4 with my emac and if so how?
Info:
emac 900 1 ghz, Mac OS X (10.3.x), M8951LL/A apple system

I posted two pages of photos using iPhoto for iPad. On my iPad and my MacBook Pro (2010) I can see all the photos in Safari. But on our 7 year old eMac running Leopard 10.5 there are only placeholders for the photos but no photos show. Is it possible that the photos appear in a format that cannot be seen by this eMac on Leopard? Or is it possible that I need to download some extension for Safari?
Info:
Mac OS X (10.7.4), Also a Mac SE running 6.0.4 - not upgrading that!

I found some discussions here re: using Leopard OS with eMacs. Anyone know if Snow Leopard will run on a 1G eMac? I have Family Pack OS installation disks for 10.5.1 and Snow Leopard 10.6
Think they will run OK on eMac?

I found a great deal on an eMac for the rest of my family to use. Before getting started, I wanted to reinstall Leopard using a disk image. Obviously with an eMac, I am not able to boot and install using a USB flash drive so I used an old iPod with a firewire connection and put the disk image on the iPod. The problem I am having is when I hold down the "option" key on startup, the iPod drive does not show up. Am I doing something wrong? To my understanding, I thought I could use an old iPod to install OSX

I have an Emac. I'm angry because the Ipods don't work with Panther. I don't think it's worth upgrading the OS, but if I was, which one would I want? Mine is 1Ghz and 768 MB so it meets the requirements for 10.5, but would it run better with 10.4?

at one time apple broke down the requirements for 720p and 1080p hd video for PowerPC. They said the 1.67 or faster g4 (ddr2 models only) or g5, with 128mb vram, 1gb ram, could do 720p...back in the tiger days when the os didn't steal all of your resources and alias's didn't consume an entire megabyte anything was possible. I have trouble playing 480p youtube content in leopard on a 1.42 emac w/ 1.5gb, radeon 9600 64 mb vram & gpu oc@ 50%. via aticellerator, tiger was flawless.

I have tried to migrate hardrive content from the emac to our imac with no luck. We still need to get eveything off the emac. What is the best way to do this? Take the hard drive out and then what?
We have a macbook in the same situation if you can answer that one too.

I am curious about the system requirement of Snow Leopard. Since the performance and speed are better on SL, I think Snow Leopard will consume a little bit more resource of our macs., although I know Snow Leopard is just only the refinement of the software.
So, my question is that WILL YOU UPGRADE YOUR RAM OF YOUR MAC?

I've recently acquired an iMac and wanted to upgrade to Lion, however I believe I need to upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard first - which could prove to end up costing a fortune! I've read recently that Apple are offering the upgrade to Snow Leopard free of charge for MobileMe users, however when I've followed a link to fill in a request form, this just takes me to the Find My Phone feature on iCloud.

My brother and parents have a Mac Mini each.
They have not the latest generation but the prior Intel generation -- that shipped with Leopard.
Being the family IT guy, last time I was in town I purchased the Snow Leopard retail DVD family pack upgrade and upgraded my parents machines to Snow Leopard. I couldn't upgrade my brother's mini because he had it away at school.
Now he is back at my parents house (as am I) and I was all set to upgrade his machine to Snow Leopard but I can't find the retail install disk I purchased.
However, I do have the Snow Leopard Mac Mini OSX install DVD that shipped with my recently purchased (latest generation) Mac Mini.
Question -- does anyone know if I could use this latest generation Snow Leopard Mac Mini system install DVD (the one that shipped with my mac Mini) to upgrade my brother's previous generation mac mini running Leopard to snow leopard.
Not looking to do a clean install but rather the upgrade.
Anyhow ever tried this? I obviously don't want to upgrade his previous generation machine with drivers, etc. for my latest generation --- rather JUST get his leopard upgraded to snow leopard.

I have mac mini (early 2009) running leopard and want to upgrade to snow leopard. I've bought a disk from a local store and when I try to install I get as far as 45 minutes to go when the installer reboots the computer and says it will continue to install after reboot. So it reboots kicks the disk out and reboots back into Leopard. The Apple site says it is probably a bad disk, so I got another one, still does the same. Apple also says it might be the dvd drive, I have no other issues with the drive, it installs the original leopard disks without problem, it reads video dvd's without problem, it verifies the snow disk as perfect.

I want the Mail Exchange Server support in Snow Leopard. If I buy a new MacBook today shipped with Leopard, can I get the upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard for free? (No, right?) When will SL be released? And how long will it take to have SL shipped with MacBook after that?

I have had a MacBook Pro for about 6 months. Running Leopard 10.5.8. It functions great and I have had had rare few problems. I have a new copy of Snow Leopard on my shelf. I seem to see a lot more post of problems with Snow Leopard than with my 10.5.8 Leopard.
Is there a good reason I should upgrade to snow leopard?

I found one for sale for 300$, broken disc drive.
I went to try it out and i couldnt seem to do anything with it, youtube shuts off safari (works if java is turned on but i cant watch videos anyway), all sites seem disproportioned and assorted oddly.
Could I upgrade it to Leopard from my leopard CD that came with my 13'' uni (which was stolen)?
Is the price too steep? I dont need a heavy duty machine, just something that will run fine.

... long time reader, first time poster!! So I'm doing it. I'm switching from PC to Mac. I've been waiting for a while now and the new MacBook Pro's have convinced me. I'm buying the 13 inch this week.
However I'm slightly worried about the upgrade to Snow Leopard in September.
My question is if I buy a new MacBook Pro this week and upgrade from the current version of Leopard to Snow Leopard will it be the EXACT same as the version of Snow Leopard that ships with new MacBooks after September?
Is the upgrade just the same as the full software version available post September? Does the upgrade it just detect if you have the previous software and installs as if it were the full? Or does it just "patch" things depending on what's different from previous versions?
I can wait till after Snow Leopard is released in September 09 if it is different to Leopard upgraded to Snow Leopard.

I've just bought 10.5 (MB021Z/A) on ebay and tried to upgrade the system on my Powerbook 12" 867mhz, 640 mb ram but everytime i put the disk in , it 's rejected everytime. Eventhough after I deleted some files and currently my hard drive has approx. 12 gb available. is it something wrong with the disk? I tried with other dvd disks (movies) and the drive 's working fine. The seller told me I have to buy and get copy from another seller before he could refund my money. is it right? (I guess he did not trust me to tell him his disk is no good!!!).
