Now, the reason your iMac isn't booting from any of these is that it can no longer run any version of Mac OS X before Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3. It is one of these versions that will be on the original discs you refer to and, based on your lack of success with the retail copy, it is also one of these versions your friend must have as well. Pleeeeeeaaase can someone help me? Pretty please with sugar on top…!!! :)ĭepending on when you bought your iMac, it came pre-installed with either Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.1 (10A2155) or 10.6.2 (10C2234). I have a function on February 19 to prepare for and I require Snow Leopard for compatibility with some specialized software/hardware.
I am willing to try anything at this stage. Searched Google, Apple discussions and here for an answer.I did this in case there was some other issue with using the optical drive. Followed the steps outlined at to create a bootable installation USB.Verified that booting from the optical drive is fine (booted from a Prosoft Data Rescue II CD).Verified the optical drive is working fine (it reads CDs/DVDs and burns DVDs fine).Installing Snow Leopard from a retail version of Snow Leopard (borrowed from a friend).Installing Snow Leopard from original Apple iMac grey disks that shipped with the computer.Booting into Recovery Mode, from both the local HD and internet, but my Mac doesn't seem to support this?.
I have wasted two whole days on this and am now desperate. I have the original disks (remember those things) that came with the computer but cannot install Snow Leopard. So, I decided to install Snow Leopard again. This was a disaster because some of my hardware and software no longer work! Previously this iMac was running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I own an iMac that was recently updated in error by a family member (I've forgiven them).
