Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I have an iMacG5 PowerPC G5(3.1) CPU. I want to upgrade, but I am not sure what upgrade this iMac can support. I thought I could get 10.5.8, but could not find such on line. Will this iMac support the Snow Leopard?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
As you have a PowerPC-based Mac, you can only update to Leopard (10.5.8).
Apple doesn't sell Leopard anymore, but you can buy it on Amazon > http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Version-10-5-6-Leopard-VERSION/dp/B000FK88JK/ref=sr_ 1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1359383571&sr=8-2&keywords=mac+os+x+leopard
"You have to call Apple & likely ask for a Product Specialist to get it (Leopard), if they still have it... helps if you tell them you have a new iPhone (iPad) that needs it!"

Requirements for Mac OS X v10.5
I have an iMacG5 Power PC G5 (3.1) CPU. I want to upgrade, but am not sure what upgrade this Mac can support. It looks like this Mac cannot upgrade to the Snow Leopard. I was told to upgrade to 10.5.8, but could not find such for purchase.
