They are people like myself, Ben Eisenman, mactech and rdkl. Just who do think the expert is? How many have you done? Where does the audacity to delete my answer come from? The real Mac experts are the ones who do it every day for a living. I've done about 40 upgrades of the 10.5 software. Yet you delete my answer because it conflicts with a writer who does not do this for a living. No one here or anyplace else that you have quoted has ever done it.

He only heard from an unnamed source at Apple that the 10.4 to 10.6 upgrade was possible. If you even bothered the read the article that Mossberg wrote, he stated, all he did was one upgrade from system 10.5 to 10.6 from a pre-release copy of the 10.6 upgrade disk. You didn't quote a source such as macworld or engadet. Your source is Walter Mossberg a writer for the Wall Street Journal. I hope this clarifies your options.Īnother downvote rab? Here's the problem.

As for 10.6, you must have a "Intel processor" Mac to install it. Please note that once you upgrade to 10.5, the classic 9.2 system option will no longer be available. A brand new Retail version can be had at FastMac. You'll find a lot more of those at a higher price. The "Full Install" disk scan be found as "OSX 10.5 Retail". Get the part number of the disk and do a web search to insure what it is. A upgrade disk may say "Upgrade" on it or "CPU Drop in", or may say nothing. Do not buy the gray disks as they are only for specific machines. Go to eBay and do a search for "OSX 10.5 upgrade" I saw two listed tonight for $66.00. Although the Apple store isn't selling the 10.5 disks anymore they may be found on eBay. When doing a Upgrade from a previous system, it is advisable to do a "Archive and install" to retain proof that you have the previous system so the disk will work again should you have to do a reinstall. to see the price difference between a System upgrade at $26 or the full installation at $169.00. The Apple Store does not seem to be selling the 10.5 anymore (they aren't listed but Ralph say you can call to get it). You can purchase a Full Installation that requires no previous system on your hard drive. I don't remember a time when Apple didn't provide for a cheaper upgrade from the previous system to the next, i.e. Select Disk Utility function, and hit Continue. Choose the startup disk where your recovery disk is located. The first step is to reboot Mac, and after the boot chime sound, hold down Command and R buttons to put your iMac into Recovery mode. The Upgrades are paid and the updates are free. Follow these steps to reset iMac back to its original factory settings. There is a difference between "Upgrade and update".

You may then download the updates directly from Apple for free using the "Software Update" just under the Apple in the upper left hand corner of your screen to take it to 10.5.8. Your G5 processor machine can be upgraded to 10.5.
I do this for a living, for over 25 years now.
