What is the difference between Mac OS X version 10.5.6 leopard(old version) and iMac restore cd with Mac OS X v10.5 leopard
523775
I don't have a iMac. I think that the OS X v 10.5 leopard should be the same software for all macs. I have a Power Mac G4 and I really like the OS X version 10.5. Apple upgraded me to a OS X version 10.6. I do have problems with the 10.6 as I don't have the Intel card, so I bypass that part but like the rest. The instructions say that it's for Power Mac, iMacs, and Power Macs G5. I hope that this answers your question.

The answer is already in my review:"Be also aware that any new Mac now comes without a system backup on DVD. Go to Apple support Web pages and look for « Reinstall OS X » and « Recovery Disk Assistant » for details."

My exact question. I recently went up from an iMac G5 to a new iMac with Snow Leopard. Suddenly my 4 year old HP scanner is no longer compatible with my MAC. I need to know WHICH units are actually supported by Snow Leopard.

I honestly have no idea. My husband ordered this for himself while on deployment (he's still currently deployed). And I do not remember what version of OSX he has.

Just curious - you ARE using the DCR-DVD108 and not the DCR-DVD308 correct? Also, which version of Leopard are you running? Thanks!

I checked the back of the package and it states: Mac OS x 10.9, 10.8, 10.7, 10.62 GB free disk space, DVD optical drive. Hope this helps.

I rec'd my iMac 11/6 and it still had Tiger installed. I ordered the $10 + tax upgrade from Apple and it arrived within a few days. Installation took about 90 min. and was very easy. However, if I had it to do over I might stick with the Tiger system a little longer. The reason is Tiger being a mature OS is virtually bug free, where as the brand new leopard will have some bugs to work. Therefore, I would suggest ordering iMac with Tiger and wait a few weeks to order the grade. By then Apple should have fixes in place for a problems that may arrise.

Hey - I was going to tell everyone - DO NOT BUY LEOPARD FOR MORE THAN 29.00. Apple if you call them will sell you a copy of the Snow Leopard for 29.00. I just bought mine today due to some bought software that wouldn't work with 10.5.8

Go with the product description. That comes from the actual seller. The "10.5" is the OS that comes with standard MacBooks

I WAS USING 10.3 on my white macbook 5.2 and I wanted to upgrade to 10.8 and I had to upgrade to 10.6 before it would let me upgrade to 10.8. I went on amazon and found a used 10.6 which was about 1/3 of the price of 10.6 new. then I went to apple apps store and bought and downed loaded 10.8 and everything was fine.

My Imac is an older version too and I bought this hard drive and I love it. I have no problems with it at all. It is top of the line I think. I highly recommend it!

Sorry, no idea. Stopped using Macs about 15 years ago. But afaik, no, its a standard hard drive with no other special pieces.

Hi, I was at the Apple Store on Tuesday and the Genius told me that I probably would not get good results with 10.5 Leopard on my iMac 800 G4. It is running at 800 MHz. We are using Tiger and have had no problems other than when we upgraded the RAM. It wouldn't take a gig- so we are at 768. It is 10.4.10 now.

If your systems match or super exceed the system requirements stated below, then both of your mac machines will more than likely run the new Leopard Operating System. I hope this post helps MAC OS X Leopard System Requirements:  Processor must be any Intel, PowerPC G5 or G4 (at 867 MHz or faster)  DVD drive (for installation of the operating system)  Built-in FireWire  At least 512 MB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended for development purposes)  A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card  At least 9 GB of disk space available

I just received my MacBook today, and was disappointed to find that it had tiger installed, not leopard. I was under the impression that leopard would already be in it. looks like I would have to pay another $100-plus to purchase it. If you have any luck from Amazon, please let me know.

Yes. Bear in mind that the pre-2010 iMac models do not have an add-on option if I recall correctly, meaning that you will have to completely replace your previous HDD (or SSD if you had previously replaced it). If you are confused about the installation process, here is a great link that gives an overview of the steps necessary: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=842548 Likewise, it never hurts to check with the manufacturer since they are the ones who give you your warranty on products. Check with Mac and/or Crucial tech support if you have any specific technical questions that you may have.

I am not computer savvy so if you fit that category then my answer might be useful; if not then ignore everything I say :-). I also have Mac 10.8, but the original operating system was an older version - I purchased the update. The backup drive works great for me. I can't tell you anything about partitioning, and all the other tech specs. From a "novice" perspective it worked instantly with no problems - the computer recognized it right away and time machine did want it needed to do.
