I got a macbook used and I bought snow leopard o load as a new install but my mac will not load the new os? I can hear it run in the drive but then my system shoots the disk back out. What can I do? If anyone knows that would help me so much!
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8), I cannot even get my iphone loaded
Try using Disk Utility to restore the DVD to a USB drive, and then boot to the USB drive by holding the Option key at startup. To restore the DVD, select the DVD in Disk Utility and then choose the Restore tab. Then drag the DVD to the "Source" field, and then drag your USB drive to the "Destination" field, and then click the Restore button that should become active.
How old is the Mac? Did Snow Leopard come with it? If the Mac is newer than when Snow Leopard came out (2009?) you cannot install a retail copy of Snow Leopard on it, as Snow Leopard is too old.
what if my install disk does not run?
