You are welcome! My advice: buy $29 disk of Snow Leopard OSX 10.6, and go online and keep upgrading the system software to 10.6.8. Stop there. OS 10.6.8 is the most stable OS Apple ever created. Mavericks and Yosemite are awful. MB404LL/A loves OS 10.6.8.

It really seems to depend on where your iMac is shipped from. I ordered mine on January 29, 2007 and it arrived with Tiger installed. No Leopard disc was included. I contacted Amazon and they referred me to Apple. In the end, Amazon refunded me the money to purchase Leopard and iLife '08.My order shipped from Cincinnati, OH.

The requirements are not quite correct. Here's what Apple recommends for the current developer seeds of Leopard: an Intel processor or a PowerPC G4 or G5 processor a DVD drive built-in FireWire at least 256 MB of RAM for a PowerPC based Mac, and 512 MB for an Intel-based Mac [I'd recommend 1 GB either way.] a built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer [The Installer may not support your video card.] at least 6 GB of disk space available, or 8 GB if you install the developer tools

Nope. Unfortunately it only comes with Snow Leopard and doesn't support anything later than it. I'm sure hackers will find a way of making it run, though.

Not true, you can upgrade to Leopard for $9.95 through Apple if you bought the Tiger Macbook between Oct. 1 and Dec. 29! Go to Apple's website and submit your Macbook serial number to qualify for the $10 upgrade to Leopard!

bought mine Saturday, came with old leopard (but i bought snow leopard) best macbook pro ever. snow leopard really makes it come alive (with speed) my adobe and pro apps load up with the greatest of ease (it's scary how fast they run now), heck, even firefox doesn't slow down the system anymore! (though it does take it's time) and now you can add more than 10 items to you dock (when dragging a folder down), soo awesome!

I've been running Lion for a few days now. I don't find it worth even the $30 Apple is charging for it. It seems a determined attempt on behalf of Mr. Jobs to make everything, including Macs, look and function as an iPad. Enough already. If I want an iPad, I'll use an iPad. I'm trying to run a decent laptop here, and Lion's trying to dumb things down to a tablet level. My advice is to stick with Snow Leopard.

haha go ahead and vent :)If I were you I would just wait. But dont buy the AppleCare for your 80gig. Just use it till it dies and isnt covered by warranty, and get whichever new one comes out. However next time check out macrumors and they have a buying guide, it shows you the past "update" history of the various mac products and gives you a small bit of advice on wether to buy or not. I'm going to stick with my 30gb for now too. Maybe give it to a family memeber later and buy a new one later :)

If you currently have Leopard (10.5) and want to upgrade to Snow Leopard (10.6) then you will need to have a Mac with an Intel processor, 1GB of Ram and 5GB of free space on your hard drive.

Just curious - you ARE using the DCR-DVD108 and not the DCR-DVD308 correct? Also, which version of Leopard are you running? Thanks!

You can install it without need for Tiger, Leopard, etc. I think that legally, you should have Tiger or Leopard to install Snow Leopard, but I wouldn't recommend upgrading over an existing system. It's OK if you don't have iLife or iWork, as when I bought my Mac over three years ago (had Tiger) that didn't have serial number for iWork, and so I'd assume that any 'bonus' software like that you'd have to pay for anyway. Hope this helps. Don't use Time Machine--just copy all your important documents and whatever else to the other drive manually. That's what I do. I don't trust backup programs (many people don't--I've read some horror stories in the past on data loss).

download all the updates from the website first. then youll need to buy snow leopard from apple. if im not mistaken you can now download this update (for a fee) from their website. If not, order the disk directly from APPLE. DO NOT ORDER FROME HERE.
