What is the minimum requirements for my Intel based iMac to upgrade to Snow Leopard (and beyond)?

I am starting from scratch with my iMac (after a crash and unworkable back-up):
Model Name: iMac
  Model Identifier: iMac8,1
  Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
  Processor Speed: 3.06 GHz
  Number Of Processors: 1
  Total Number Of Cores: 2
  L2 Cache: 6 MB
  Memory: 4 GB
  Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
  Boot ROM Version: IM81.00C1.B00
  SMC Version (system): 1.30f1
So I installed 10.5.8, now I want to upgrade to Snow Leopard (10.6). Is this not possible? I did this before but the install CD give the message that it is not possible. Do I forget something?
Any help is welcome,
Victor

Your computer meets all the requirements, but you need to use a retail DVD to upgrade. A different Mac model's original disks won't work.

  • What are the minimum requirements for compiling apps for iOS7?

    Hi, guys.
    I currently have a computer with XCode 4.6.3 and Mac OS X (v10.7.5).
    Is this enough to compile apps for the AppStore for iOS 7?
    What are the minimum requirements for compiling these apps? XCode version or both XCode and OS X versions?
    Thanks in advance,

    OK, actually this site has a better explanation of the prerequisites:

  • What are the "EXACT" requirements for Yosemite install on iMac 5.1 (fails on wk 27 2007 build with OS X.6.8)??

    My iMac seems to meet all of the stated requirements
    Ie: Mid 2007 or newer, 2GB RAM, 50+GB HD space, OS X.6.8. Yet it gives an error of "Cannot install Yosemite on this computer" after attempting an update/install. No other useful information is given and just re-presents the same system requirements over and over with no help.

    Yosemite requires an iMac 7,1 or higher, while yours is:

  • What is the minimum required for 10g RAC AIX 5.2L on a SAN

    We have the following
    2 IBM p550's with AIX 5.2L
    Oracle 10g
    Hitachi SAN
    The questions I have are
    1. Does one need any addtional software such as HACMP ?
    2. Can one use just RAW 'disks' and not use ASM ?
    3. Can one using just the raw 'disks' presented by the SAN with ASM ?
    Anything else ?
    Thank you,
    -pete

    Oracle says that from 10g onwards, not need to have any other cluster software since it is providing CRS (cluster ready services) with 10g. However, having HACMP installed would be a good idea. I heard many problem, earliy release of 10g, aboug just using CRS instead of other clustered services.
    Well, we are using SHARQ d240 storage, but, didn't required any raw partition, and also not using ASM. Basically, we are in a testing mode.

    To synchronize these libraries and lists, you must have Outlook 2010 installed on your client computer and you must have Collaborate permission to the library or list.
    You don’t need any permissions for the user profile.

    Please click Profile Update and follow the directions for updating your profile. Your computer may be too old to support Aperture however without knowing anything about your iMac it's impossible to say. Also there is an Aperture forum to use and you can look at Aperture's System Requirements below to see if you have the minimum.

  • This PC does not meet the minimum requirements for this version of iTunes

    Trying to update my iTunes, the installer gives the error message:
    "This PC does not meet the minimum requirements for this version of iTunes"
    I have gone through the procedures listed in the support section, and have completely removed all Apple software, deleted the file folders etc etc.... still no joy.
    This is most annoying as I've just received my brand new iPhone 6+ and I was trying to backup my old device to iTunes so I could restore it onto the new phone and get using it today.  Hacked off big time :-\

    Well I've eventually managed a work-around.  Ver. 11.5.1 was no good because it wasn't compatible with my iphone 5, next one wasn't compatible with my iphone 6+, eventually got 11.4 installed so I could back up my old iphone 5 to it, then restore that backup onto my iphone 6+, which then wasn't up to date with the current iOS so I had to do that before it would sync my apps.
    What a ball ache.
    If someone would kindly let me know when the latest iTunes works again I's appreciate it, until then I'll have to stick with what I've got.
    I need to start again with my music collection, re-import everything and get it on my iphone, because I had to delete it all a few months ago when iOS updated because it didn't have enough storage space on the device!  Somehow lost it all off my iTunes in the process!
    TBH I've always found the Apple system hideously complicated and infuriating when it doesn't work properly.  Instead of making it more and more complex it needs simplifying and making fool-proof so people don't have to go through all this BS just to use their **** phone!

  • Your system does not meet the minimum requirement for this update (9996)

    Hi
    recently had to reformat my system with windows 7 profesional. All windows updates where performed and all the drivers where installed correctly except the ethernet driver. windows 7 cannot find a suitable driver. I then downloaded the driver from the link provided on the hpe-590t download site, which is described as a intel gigabyte driver sp52222, however  the software driver comes up with the following message your system does not meet the minimum requirement for this update (9996). Has anyone had a similar problem.
    Hardware Ids are:
    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0000&SUBSYS_00008086&REV_00
    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0000&SUBSYS_00008086
    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0000&CC_020000
    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0000&CC_0200
    Regards artie 

    I solicited the the assistance of another one of our experts who is a driver guru, you may see his reply here:

    I tend to agree that either the NIC is bad or possiblly a factory restore would help.

  • Installed graphics card does not meet the minimum requirements for AP...

    2006 MP with an HD 2600 and a 7300 GT card installed, 8 GB RAM, OS 10.4.11. Tried to install Aperture v1 from CD and got the error message "The installed graphics card does not meet the minimum requirements for Aperture" which disallowed upgrading to v1.5.6 because v1 would not install. So I downloaded and installed the v2 trial and got the same error message.
    The release lever on the 7300 card would not work so I left it in slot 1 for now rather than risk breaking the card. That put the HD 2600 card in slot 2, which is not optimum but I do not think it should cause problems.
    23" ACD connected to the HD 2600 card.
    Ideas? I perused the threads and found similar reports but no solutions.
    TIA
    -Allen Wicks

    Answering my own question, I moved the ACD connection to the 7300 card and v2 Aperture installed OK.
    Now I guess I need to get precise details on how to eject the 7300 card (mainly better directions than Apple's as to exactly what direction to force the release lever toward). I applied way more force than I am accustomed to and the card did not release.
    Comments appreciated, TIA.

  • HT4007 The installed graphics card does not meet the minimum requirements for Aperture.

    The installed graphics card does not meet the minimum requirements for Aperture.  I have not used Aperture in a while and just got this error message.  I tried applying OS updates and reinstalling Aperture and still get the same message.  Does anybody have a solution or work around.

    Are you using a non-standard Graphics Cards?  Then this may be the reason.
    You may also get this error message, if you accidentally booted into "Safe Boot Mode". Then certain extensions of the Graphics card will be disabled and Aperture cannot be launched.
    Reboot and make sure that you this time will boot into regular boot mode.
    See: Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
    If you are indeed running the system in Safe Mode, the question is, what made this happen? Do you use a wireless mouse and keyboard? There is a strange bug that makes Mac OS X boot into Safe mode, if you turn the wireless devices on, while the system is booting. Make sure they are active, before you boot.
    But if you did not boot into Safe Mode, you could try to boot into this mode to reset the graphics card and then boot again into regular mode.

  • HT4949 what are the system requirements for mac os x 10.6 server?

    what are the system requirements for mac os x 10.6 server?

    While not 'intended', it is indeed possible on a portable. Exigent circumstances required me to re-role an aging MacBook Pro 2.16 Intel Core Duo to act as a server on a temporary basis.
    It boots just fine from an external drive running Server 10.6.8. I also believe that installation (while not recommended) is not actually blocked.
    Tip for the top: just be sure to pull the battery out of the laptop (assuming that's possible) to avoid turning your battery into a grossly distended, non-functional brick... they were not designed to be left on charge permanently!
