Nov 28, 2011 5:58 PM in response to Lemonh3dby Texas Mac Man,You can probably upgrade your OS 10 Leopard 10.5.
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
MB022Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update

Dec 1, 2011 7:34 AM in response to Lemonh3dby MichelPM,You do not post the CPU speed of your eMac, but you will have to work around the 867 Mhz CPU minimum requirement if youe eMac is one of the 800 Mhz CPU variety.
If you're successful in getting a retai OS X 10.5 Leopard set on DVD,my solution was a little more involved.
The HD on my parents' Mac went bad (too many bad sectors).
So, I was able to purchase on external Firewire hard drive, install OS X 10.5 Leopard on it and I am able to run
the eMAc from that that drive.
It runs, somewhat slower from the external drive (maybe just running slower than OS X 10.4 Tiger because it doesn't quite meet the minimum spec), but it runs well enough and now my Mom( with the latest, greatest iTunes) can sync and backup all of her iDevices on her older eMAc. She wasn't able to do so at an earlier date.
Just adding another alternative to explore.
That's why I decided to post
Hope all goes well
