Yes. Use the Mac Box Set.

If you have an G5 iMac you cannot install SL as it's only for Intel Macs. The highest OS for the G5 iMacs is Leopard.
You do not indicate which model iMac you have.



*Upgrading from Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger.*

+"If your Intel-based Mac is running Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger, purchase the *Mac Box Set*, which is a single, affordable package that includes Mac OS X v10.6.3 Snow Leopard; iLife, with the latest versions of iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, iWeb, and iDVD; and iWork, Apple’s productivity suite for home and office including Pages, Numbers, and Keynote."+

If I have the Power PC processor, am I able to update to Leopard at all?

Hi Maree, possibly Leopard/10.5.x, but not Snow Leopard/10.6.x.

Leopard requirements/10.5.x...

* Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor

minimum system requirements

* 512MB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
* DVD drive for installation
* 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)

You have to call Apple & likely ask for a Product Specialist to get it, if they still have it!

Hi BDAqua and thx for your message.
Not sure to well understanding what u want to tell, could you explain plz ??

Thanks, BD. My sister has an older Mac Mini, we're trying to figure out if we can use a Flip camera with it at all or if she'll need to update the OS.

Your Mac will install/support/run/ OSX 10.6.x.
