Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

I´m trying to update my MacBook with OS 10.5.4, to at least 10.6.6. But I can´t get past the "configuration installation". I´v let it run overnight, but no response.

Can anybody out there tell me how to update a MacBook with OS 10.5.4, to at least OS 10.6.6 ? When trying to update from the

Apple menu, it stops when configuring to install. I´v let it run overnight several times, no go. Help me !

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Start by checking if your macBook can run Snow Leopard:


Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'

(NB: PowerPC applications can still be run in Snow Leopard using Rosetta, but they will not work in later versions of OS X.)


The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:

and in the UK:

When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:

Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes (you will need the latest version in order to synch with mobile devices).
