Q: upgraded mac 10.4.11 to snowleopard not enough memory
Hi
Reluctant and to poor to do away with my mac 10.6.8, i gave it all a spring clean, backed up the hard drive onto 'Lacie', then installed Snowleopard. fantastic! my computer working almost like new again. However... i could not install Mavericks - 'not enough memory'.
I can probably find more gunk in the machine (duplicate files etc), buy clean my mac. what else? is there a fixit for a not too geeky mac user?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8), mac 10.4.11 upgraded to with snowle

Why not? The installer asks where to install the OS. As long as the external drive has a GUID partition map, it'll show up as a potential location. If for some reason that doesn’t work right, just boot from a clone, go into Disk Utility and unmount the internal drive before downloading the Mavericks installer.
