If you are talking about installing OS X Snow Leopard on a Windows PC instead of Windows 7 then no, you cannot do that legally. And you really need to know what you are doing in order to do it illegally.

    Where can I buy Snow Leopard so that I may upgrade to Lion?

    If you need to purchase Snow Leopard contact Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The price is $29.00 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
    Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
    Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
    Snow Leopard from eBay
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
    If you need to purchase Lion contact Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download.

  • If you lost your install CD's for an iMac7,1. Can you use Snow Leopard to reboot/install?

    If you lost your install CD's for an iMac7,1. Can you use Snow Leopard to reboot/install?

    Best answer; see AnaMusic above.
    Will SL do? Yes, provided you use the SL retail disc. A grey disc from another Mac will not work.
    A few considerations -
    Be warned that printer drivers, and scanner drivers in particular will almost certainly need updating for SL. That could be a problem if the printer or scanner is more than a couple of years old.
    Many third party applications (and some Apple ones) may need updates for SL (Adobe particularly), so check with the vendors for compatability before you upgrade.
    You'll need Rosetta to run PPC apps like Appleworks and many MS Office or Adobe versions. Ensure you select it from the 'optional installations' when installing SL.
    Note also that any bundled applications that came with your Tiger original discs (iLife in particular) are not included on retail OS versions.

  • Can I use my MacMini Snow Leopard disks when installing Windows on my iMac?

    I want to install Win 7 on my iMac this weekend, but I forgot my Snow Leopard install disks at my parent's and probably won't be able to get them for a couple weeks. Those install disks were the full distribution, not the disks that came with my iMac (those disks have 10.5).
    I do, however, have a new MacMini that has SL install disks. Would those be good enough? Or could I use the older 10.5 install disks that came with the iMac (it's running 10.6.2 now) and then upgrade later with the Boot Camp 3.1 exe?
    Thanks!

    I guess that is progress.
    Can you get your DVD sent? or email the 950MB you need or postal ship on USB to get 3.0?
    A lot of times drivers for chip can be downloaded from vendor.
    With wireless, I think people have complained of problems even with Apple's drivers. I'm sure you don't want to but maybe a cheap wired mouse/kb for now?
    When I just installed BC 3.0 it downgraded my Realtek audio, not upgrade (removing old drivers to install new is what it erroneously said).
    When I bought 10.5.0 it had "2.0" but the same old BC 1.4 drivers. Then bought 10.5.6 a year later, had new drivers, not posted online, not via ASU or any update. I know people have said that new Macs have later 3.x drivers and I'm sure next summer would be better. Also, Windows 7 SP1 will be out next Aug/Sept also.

  • Can't get snow leopard disk to work, can I put it on a thumb drive

    I just replaced the power supply in my 2006 iMac.  I need to update my operating system to Snow Leopard and have the disk, but I can't get the disk to work.  It is brand new.  Can I somehow make a copy of the disk, on another computer, and put it on a thumb drive?  I'm grasping at straws here.
    Thanks,
    Thia

    Hi, yes you can, either in Disk Utility on a Mac... make a DMG of that Install Disk, the use DU to Restore that DMG to a big enough flash drive, or...

  • Cant boot from snow leopard dvd and install crashes computer

    Folks, hi, newbie to this forum but at wits end.
    I have a MacBook Pro 17inch mid 2010 model. I added the OMG disk doubler and ditched the internal dvd, so I now have 2 X 500GB hard drives, one of which has the OSX. This disk in trouble and Disk Utility says that it needs repairing, but i need to repair after booting from an different disk.
    So, I added a usb dvd drive and put in snow leopard. It would not boot via holding down 'c' and the option key only saw the current drive. No problems I thought, I will install onto the second hard drive and boot from that. The process got a fair way though (20 mins) and the computer crashed. I checked that it is GUID, tried again, and ditto. So, I made a new partition that was nice and clean -- and ditto. Stuck about now, I tried to format a usb hard drive -- ditto. Hmm, didnt want to, but out came the second drive and in went the old dvd drive -- same issue -- could not boot using c button and the option key did not recognise the snow leopard install. Out came the drive and I went to the apple store -- they told me that the Snow Leopard I had brought was an upgrade and that I needed a Box Set. $169 later and - you guessed it -- the dvd is the same, no start on c, not recognised on option, and the computer crashes if I try and install to the second hard drive or an external drive.
    Help anyone??

    when i go to system prefs- startup, the dvd does not show up in the list of startup drives. The apple salesman said that the OSX install disk I purchased was not a start up disk / full install but rather an upgrade only disk. That is why he said to use the box set as a 'full install' - but both appear to not start up or be able to do a clean install. I just end up with a set of files call Mac OSX install files.

  • I want to use iMovie 6 on my new MacBook Pro running Lion 10.7.5. It won't download. Can I download Snow Leopard instead and use iMovie 6 with that older OS?

    I have a MacBook Pro I recently purchased 'cause my old G4 just couldn't output my video films properly. My new MacBook Pro is running 10.7.5 OS Lion. Don't like iMovie 11 and want to use iMovie 6. It won't download on Lion. Could I download Snow Leopard (deleting OS 10.7.5) and use iMovie 6 then? I saw a previous thread that said that could be done.

    AppleMan...I have the same iMac you have...i-7 16GB with a SSD....just bought it second hand and it is about 1.5 years old....it was maxed out with upgrades when the original owner bought it.  It was also restored back to factory settings prior to me taking possession. 
    I am making home movies in iMovie 11....max length 30 minutes or less.  I am totally new to this editing.  I am using HD footgage filmed from my Hero GoPro 3.  I am finding that the movies that I am creating are skipping, staggering, hanging up etc...usually where I had transitions.  I am certain I have enough power and memory in my iMac, so what's the issue?  I read one of your other posts about optimizing each event or clip to 1080p?  Is this what I need to do for every clip I import?  Can I do this for all the clips at once on import?  I also read that I may need to export the movie to quick time for smooth playback?? 
    Any help you can provide would be appreciated!
    Sincerely,
    Matt

  • Where can I buy Snow Leopard?

    My Mac is running an older version of OS X, and when I tried to update with the new version of iTunes, it told me I needed to update to the newest version.  In order to update to Mountain Lion through the App store, I think I need to first update to Snow Leopard.  Any legitimate places I can get the software? Thanks.

    Kappy 08/2012 post on upgrading to Snow Leopard, then Lion or Mountain Lion -  https://discussions.apple.com/message/19401628 - including how to get Snow Leopard and Lion since Apple removed them from the online store. 

  • HT1338 how can i buy snow leopard upgrade from 10.5 leopard?

    I have mac pro whose operating system is os x 10.58 leopard. I want to upgrade to snow leopard from it, but I cannot buy the software. What should I do for it? Please let me know the website to buy it.

    I have to do all these upgrades to finally upgrade iTunes/iCloud for my iPhone and iPad.  I just called 1-800-MY-APPLE and got a copy sent to me for $20 plus shippping and handling.  Not too bad.  The sales rep. was helpful in confirming that my system would be able to be fully upgraded to Mountain Lion and included links in the confirmation email about setting up iCloud for my devices. 

  • How can I buy Snow Leopard in Russia?

    I have MacBookPro '13 bought in 2008. MacOS is Leopard.
    Now I would like to upgrade to Snow Leopard, since Lion is too 'heavy' for my computer (I work with graphics a lot).
    However, no Apple reseller in St.Petersburg (Russia) would sell me Snow Leopard. They just say:
    we only sell Lion, it's your problem that you haven't upgraded to Snow Leopard earlier.
    At the same time I see that in America they sell Snow Leopard, so it's just the Russian problem.
    What shall I do?

    Buy online from Apple, it's the only place sold besides Amazon etc.

  • Do I only need to buy Snow Leopard once?

    Ive been looking for this info everywhere but I cant find it.
    I own a Mac Pro and and Macbook Pro. I'd like to upgrade both to Snow Leopard (currently running 10.5.8)
    Will it work if I only order Snow Leopard once and install it on both Macs or will I have to buy it twice?
    Thanks

    It will work but it's a violation of the terms of the license agreement (i.e. you are stealing). You can use the family pack on 5 of your machines, but not with 4 of your friends.
    The terms are clearly spelled out: Up 5 machines in the same household.

  • "Snow Leopard cannot be installed on this computer"

    I have a 2008-2009 mac book pro (The kind that's all silver, no black), It's currently running 10.5.8. I have a snow leopard disk, and the computer sees it. Then when I go to start begin the installation I get "Snow Leopard cannot be installed on this computer." I want to upgrade and I don't want to just go ahead of myself and screw up my macbook, so please give me a hand some one?.
    Thanks

    Just wanted to share with you 2 more reasons it might be.  Tech support was going for the hard drive set up being old.  That was one reason they wanted me to reformat.  So a few more ideas to throw in here.  You can go here and read it.

  • Why does my MacBook Pro not boot up with the Snow Leopard Disk?

    I have erased the entire hard drive on a 2011 macbook pro that had snow leopard on it. I was corrupted. I not insert my Snow Leopard Disk and the machine will not boot. I chose target mode to erase the hard drive from my mac book pro with Mt. Lion on it.
    Thank uou for any help,
    Ken

    Target mode?  Is there a second computer involved?  Why not insert the Snow Leopard disc in the computer on which you wish to install and hold down the C key to boot from it?
    If the disc came with a different computer it will not boot another model.  Retail discs also may not boot all model computers, even those that came with the same major version.  For example, some MBPs came with 10.6.6 but a retail disc may only be 10.6.3.
