Installing Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard on HP Pavilion dv6000... Can I?

I would like to know if Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard would wwork on an HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop. I thought Windows Vista would be great, but boy was I wrong! I've used Mac operating systems on my friends computers and like them alot so i was wanting to make the switch to Mac, but I wasn't for sure if I could put Mac OS's on and HP computer. It would help me alot if anyone gives me the answer. Thank You.

Welcome to the Apple boards.
This post will most likely be locked or disappear.
The answer is simple: It is illegal. There is no discussion beyond that.

  • Installed Mac OS X v10.6.4 Update (Combo). Can't Open Mail 4.2

    I installed Mac OS X v10.6.4 Update (Combo) and when I rebooted I can no longer open Mail 4.2. I get a message saying the this version is not compatible with the OS. Any thoughts?
    Thanks for your help.
    Kyle

    I didn't use the combo update, but when I went to 10.6.4 it automatically upgraded my Mail to version 4.3.
    Why not try doing an upgrade of Mail?

    It's to do with licensing. If you read the EULA that comes with OSX it tells you about those restrictions.

    Where did you obtain the Snow Leopard DVD? If it is aDVD from another computer, it will not work. You will need the retail version of the DVD as shown below.

  • How can I install Mac OS X Snow Leopard on Mac OS X Tiger?

    Hello. Can someone tell me how I can install Mac OS X Snow Leopard on Mac OS X Tiger? I have the disk, but when I open the installer, I get a message saying that Snow Leopard could not be installed on my computer and it could only be installed on a Intel-Based Mac. This is a PowerPC Mac, so that makes sense.
    So, I'm trying to ask how to make my Mac an Intel-Based Mac so I could install Snow Leopard. Or if I can't do that, I need to know how to install Snow Leopard some other way. Please help.

    Just an FYI, the Mac App Store was introduced with Mac OS X 10.6.6.    However the rest of what you say is accurate.
    10.6.8 is required if you want to upgrade certain Macs beyond 10.7.5 without having to reformat the drive you are installing the operating system on and without having to install some version of 10.7 first.
    One can actually install 10.7 or later if you maintain an original copy of the full installer of the operating system in question for your personal use without having to have the prerequisite operating system installed, if the hardware supported it.  But that's a discussion for another forum.
    For HFTaylor,
    Consider buying a used or refurbished Mac with an Intel CPU depending on your needs.  Read this tip about the migration of data from PowerPC to Intel before proceeding:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295
    and see this tip about used and refurbished Macs*:

    Hello,
    Since installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro, I cannot use Adobe Flash.   Each time i attempt to download Adobe i get the same message "blocked plug-in'.   Any ideas?

    alisel,
    the latest version of Adobe Flash Player that runs on Snow Leopard (or newer versions of OS X) can be downloaded here.
    Once you’ve installed it, you might need to check Safari’s Preferences, in the Security tab, to make sure that the “Allow Plug-ins” checkbox is checked.

  • Well, my macbook (alumminium late 2008) started to be too laggy, so I decided to erase the Macbook HD. What I did not know is that my Superdrive is not working, so i could not re-install Mac OS X Snow Leopard. What to do?

    Well, lately my Macbook (Alumminium, late 2008) started to be too laggy. So I decided to erase Macbook HD, and reset it to the factory config. What i did not know was that my SuperDrive is not working... So I could not re-install Mac OS X Snow Leopard. What to do?

    I'm not familiar with the 2008 Macbook, but will it boot from and external drive?  If so, non-Apple CD/DVD drives are not expensive and can be very useful.  A bootable USB flash drive might also work for you.  Again, I'm not familiar with the 2008 Macbook.
    Good luck,
