IMac 7,1 running 10.5.8 can not access recovery mode, during update to 10.6.8 kernel panic

Good day everybody.
I'm facing next issue. Having iMac v.7,1 running 10.5.8. EFI and SMC firmware update is done.
Trying to update to 10.6.8 thru bootable USB drive. After rebooting showing kernel panic. Made Apple Hardware Test (long one, took around 90 mins) no issues found. Trying booting in Single User Mode, showing "0x7" error.
My attempts to boot in Recovery Mode (cmd+r) completely ignored. Im not sure if there is one.
I tried to Boot in Recovery Mode via Bootable USB with 10.6.8 on it, holding "option" (alt) button, two scenarios, other complete ignore and keep booting to login screen OR again same Kernel Panic.
Guys need some help.
Im ready to change parts, but no idea was that HD or RAM or whatever else.
Some photos attached.
Thanks to everybody in advance.

Recovery mode is only available in Lion (10.7) and later OSs. You can only upgrade to Snow Leopard by booting with an SL disc. You can get it from http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

  • I can not access preview mode in safari

    Choosing file > Preview takes me somewhere else and I can not access preview mode at all. Every time I select preview it takes me to some strange site with att and my first name in it. Very Frustrating.
    I am using the latest upgrade for Muse 2014, so I don't think the version is to blame. Has anyone else had a similar problem, and what did you do to resolve it, and did it work?

    Hi
    When you click on preview, what is the url in the browser? Also, Muse uses the default browser of the OS, so is it possible to change the default browser and test it again to see if it works.

  • Can't access Recovery Mode on old Mac

    I've had an old Mac lying around unused for the last few years.
    It is currently running (from "About this Mac")
    OS X version 10.5.8
    Dual 1.3 GHz PowerPC G4
    2 MB L3 cache per processor
    768 MB SDRAM
    It's a Power Mac G4
    I want to completely wipe this computer so it's in absolute factory settings with nothing left behind by me, so I can sell it for a small price and possibly take a couple of parts for a build I'm thinking about.
    I Tried the Restart, Command + R method of accessing Recovery Mode multiple times with no success. It takes around 30 seconds to boot each time so I'm not missing the "window" to do it, I think. (I beggin the Key Combo when I hear the chime)
    i don't have any disks for this computer as it was pre-owned, at least 5 years ago, from a guy I've lost touch with. I don't want to back up any files.
    can anyone help me reset this dusty old calculator?

    Man in despair,
    The pre-2006 PowerMacs this foru serves cannot run OS 10.6.8. What Mac to you have? We can get you moved to the proper forum for your Mac.
    Never be hesitant to start a new thread. When you tag onto another, especially one like this that appears to be about a different Mac model, you dilute the help the original poster deserves. It is also confusing to the rest of use and some very knowlegeable helpers here will not respond to a tag-on (also known as a "thread-jack.")
    So fast help require you to make a new thread in teh forum that matches you Mac model.

    May need to go into an Apple Store to have them check it out.
    Or you can try DFU mode.

  • Can not retrieve my password using my email address nor birthday as security question, can not access my purchases to update them even if I creat a new account with same email address, what can I do?

    Has anyone had an issue with password and not been able to retrieve it using email nor answering security questions? This is my case, I tred to do both, I do not get any email from Itunes to let me know how to do. If I try to reset it using my security question, which was my birthday, does not work either. I believe someone changed everything for me and I do not know what to do because in oder to update all my purchases I need my original account. I just created one using same ID and e-mail address, all successful, but it does not mean that I'm able to retrieve all my prurchases because it's a new account...Please, any idea, I appreciate your comments and/or feedback, Thanks!!!

    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

  • Can't access recovery mode in Creative

    I want to update my firmware for my Creative Zen. I press and hold the play/pause button while starting the player. I should release this at the moment I see the creative logo. The problem is that I never see this logo. The screen is blank while the player is booting and the first thing I see is the ZEN logo. Why doesn't the creative logo show up?

    I figured it out. Apparently the player has a cold start and a warm start. If I turn of the player and wait several hours, then I get the creative logo. When I turn it off and (almost) immediatly turn it on again, it goes directly to the ZEN logo, to speed up the restart.

  • Can't access recovery or internet recovery

    My MacBook pro (late-2009) has the dreaded question mark folder icon when I try to start it up. I had this problem a year ago and fixed it using recovery and repair disk.
    For some reason, I can't access recovery mode OR internet recovery (even while plugged into the internet via cable). The only different response I get from the computer is simply a grey screen and the cursor when I boot up while pressing option.
    I had been having problems with the computer 'forgetting' the time when the battery went completely flat, which I've heard has something to do with the startup disk?
    Any advice would be great as I don't have the ££ to get this fixed or get a new one. I can't find any other discussion on here that mention having no access at all to recovery mode.

    I believe the Apple Stores have a network recovery image available to them when they run diagnostics there.
    For data recovery, you have a couple of options - either connect the Mac to another Mac using target mode (you'd need to use a Firewire cable, possibly with a Thunderbolt adaptor if the other Mac is newer), or remove the hard drive, put it into an enclosure or dock, and attempt access that way. If it's just the system folders that's damaged, you may be able to effect access to your user files. If the drive itself is physically ailing, or the directory is too greatly damaged, you may be out of luck.
    If your MBP is mid-2009, it came with 10.5, and you should be able to buy a generic retail 10.6.3 DVD (check Amazon, etc) to get a new system up and running. (The next model, mid-2010, would have come with a custom build of 10.6.3 and you'd need the model-specific disks for that since the retail 10.6.3 won't work, I believe.)

  • I can't access to internet during a call

    i can't access to internet during a call. Whenever i try to access to internet it says "you can not access to internet during this call"
    After this i ended the call and tried to access to internet, and i did it.
    Do you know why this is happening?

    Himm... but i have my friends from same carrier. I tried this problem with my friends on the call. They told me "we can access to internet". For that reason i don't think that my problem is this.
    It might be something different.

  • I have a iMac 11.2 running 10.6.8 can I upgrade to get icloud?

    I have a iMac 11.2 running 10.6.8 can I upgrade to get icloud?

    Yes.
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
    If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
    A. Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
         For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
    B. Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • How do I move files from my iMac to my Airport without getting 'AirPort can not be modified' message. File sharing is enabled and I'm not getting asked for a password. Thanks

    How do I move files from my iMac to my Airport without getting 'AirPort can not be modified' message. File sharing is enabled and I'm not getting asked for a password. Thanks

    What OS are you running.. this is usually only a problem in Mavericks.
    If so I recommend you mount the hard disk manually..
    Use Go, Connect to server.
    Type in the IP address if static.. eg
    AFP://10.0.1.1
    Or the name.. but you will have issues unless the name is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. if you are using bad names.. fix it by a full factory reset in airport utility and give it all names that comply to the above.
    Type in
    AFP://TCname.local Where TCname is replaced with the actual name.
    You will be asked for the password the first time which is public unless you changed it.. please remember to save this in the keychain.
    Copy files then to a new directory you create on the TC.. do not place files inside the TM sparsebundle. Nor directly under the main directory.

    Hello mrmacjohn,
    Verifying that any iCloud account that may be signed in is signed out should resolve this error.
    On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.
