Can't install OS X 10.6 on 2006 MacBook

When I attempt to update my (early 2006) MacBook with Snow Leopard the computer reports that there is insufficient RAM to run the new running system.
I took my computer in to the Apple store and they said that my RAM is fine. They gave me a new hard drive, and I tried to install Snow Leopard again but with the same results.
What could be the problem?
What should I do?

[Reply to your duplicate post|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11128259#11128259].
I believe the [2006 Macbooks|http://support.apple.com/kb/SP23] came with 512MB, 1GB or 2GB of RAM. [Snow Leopard requires at least 1GB of RAM and 5GB of hard drive space|http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html]. So be sure you have both available.

    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If you are asking about the system requirements for running various versions of Windows under Bootcamp, or just more generally how to set up Bootcamp on your Mac, you may find the following articles/pages helpful:

  • Can I install one 8 GB ram in a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011).

    Can I install one 8 GB ram in a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011).  The other slot is not working, I have only one slot that works. It is stated in this link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1270#link1 , that the maximum memory is 8 GB where every slot slot has 4 Gb.  Is there any problem if i install only one 8 Gb ram in the working slot ?

    You should be able to do that.
    Maximum Memory
    16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots
    2 - 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
    Understand that there is no guarantee it will work, but based on the above it should work for you.

    From the Finder's Go menu, choose Computer:

    Look for this folder:
    Drag it to the Trash.

    Can i install os x mountain lion in another macbook air with my apple id?

    It depends. If you purchase an OS upgrade it can be installed on up to 5 devices that are registered with your ID. However if you purchase a computer with that OS you cannot install it on other computers you own. The OS that comes with your computer is tied to the computer and not your ID.

  • Can't install os mavericks because don't have macbook air flash storage firmware update 1.1; can't install firmware update because OS is too old (10.7.4)

    Hello, I have a Macbook Air, bought May 2012 or so that came with OS 10.7.4 on it.  Did not try to upgrade OS until recently.  Tried to upgrade to OS Mavericks, however received error message 'Before installing OS X Mavericks this system requires MacBook Air Flash Storage Firmware Update 1.1."  I then downloaded and attempted to install said Firmware Update 1.1, but received another error message, to wit: "This update requires 10.7.5 or 10.8.5 or later"
    Who can help me out the this Catch-22?  I thought about first updating to OS 10.8, but apparently that is no longer available?

    Hi CursedIn,
    If the Firmware update required for Mavericks requires 10.7.5 to install, you may be able to download it directly from the following link:

  • Someone please help!! Can't install logic pro 9 on my new macbook pro 2012

    Hi guys,
    ive been scrolling the internet for days and actually can't find the solution to my next problem:
    I bought the new macbook pro 15" running mac osx 10.7.4.
    now i want to install logic 9 on this computer. Before this i've already been using logic on two computers, my Mac Pro and my older macbook pro (2008).
    I installed logic pro 9 as in upgrade to Logic pro 8.
    Ive tried installing logic pro 8 on the new laptop but it wont let me, says the new macbookpro doesnt support this program anymore.
    Now ive tried installing logic 9 on the new macbook pro and it wont allow me. It wont accept my product liscence, I've tried it a hundred times, but it just wont let me.
    Im not planning on using the older laptop anymore, should i uninstall logic from it? If so... how come i can't find the location of the liscence?
    really hope hearing from u guys soon....

    Sounds like the same issue as this to me: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18640824#18640824
    The license says you can only install on one laptop and one desktop machine. Try uninstalling it from the old laptop and see if that fixes it.

  • Can I install window 7 enterprise 32 bit on MacBook Pro

    I have installed window 7 enterprise 32 bit on my MacBook Pro but it appears no software drivers such as Bluethoot USB Bost Controller, Enternet Controller, FaceTIme HD Camera (Built-in), Network Controller...etc. Then I tried to download Boot Camp Support Software 4 but it did not work.
    So, can i install window 7 enterprise 32 bit on Mac? How to solve this problem?
    Thanks!

    You don't say what year/version Macbook Pro you have. Newer Macbook Pros only support 64 bit Windows. See the tables here to see which Windows your computer supports. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
    There are several reasons you should use 64 bit Windows on a newer Macbook Pro:
    Your computer is 64 bit
    32 bit Windows can only use about 3.5 GB of your installed ram
    32 bit programs run in 64 bit Windows
    There is no reason to use 32 bit Windows in a modern Macbook Pro.

    Just an agreement with Csound1 - you need to begin again anew (is that repetitious?).
    CleanMyMac has obviously made the installation of Adobe products impossible. Which products, specifically, are you trying to install and which versions? You should ALWAYS use the provided Adobe Uninstallers to uninstall an Adobe product. Kind of pointless information at this time, I know, but just as a reminder for 'next time,' when you surely will no longer be using CleanMyMac.
