I've recently purchased from a university an older intel macbook pro that has been completely wiped. In order to do anything I need to install OS 10.5,but cannot find it anywhere. The computer asks if I'd lioke to reinstall lion but I cannot until I install leopard. Where can I get it?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5)
The computer asks if I'd like to reinstall lion but I cannot until I install leopard.
But which do you want to end up with?
Lion/10.7 cannot be installed from Leopard/10.5, but can be from Snow Leopard/10.6.8
I wanted to end up with Lion 10.7.5 which apparently is the newest OS that this computer could handle. I would have had to load leopard, then snow leopard, then lion, according to the messages that I was getting. Anyway, I brought the unit in to my local repair joint and found that lion was still on the hard drive though the university had wiped the memory. So I had him dial it in. First time that I couldn't figure things out and needed help, but hey I'm a plant nerd not a computer nerd.
Thanks, Bob
Oh, good to hear you got it going! 🙂
