I would like to know what year this is from 2008? 2009? 2010 and what operating system is being run on it. Snow Leopard, LIon?

Sadly it's none of those years it's older it's a 2006, or 2007 model and when I received it it wasn't using either one of those operating systems but it's still a great laptop but had I known this I would have waited to see if I could have gotten a newer one at a decent price

Aside from the operating system, which is Mac OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, Our computers also have iLife and iWorks 2009.

This is an old question, but this seems like a good place to mention that if you buy one now, it has OS X Lion installed on it. At least, the one I received from amazon yesterday has OS X Lion. No need to download or buy it. On the other hand, it doesn't come with a set of dvds you can use to reinstall the OS.

I have Mavericks OS 10.9.4 and it works fine. I don't know how far back it goes. The box it came in was destroyed in our earthquake so I don't have the Mac specs handy, but I would guess it might go back as far as Snow Leopard, maybe earlier, but that is just a guess. Is it not supplied with the sales specs for the product? Sorry, I don't have more info handy at this time. I do have to say that I have moved on to Rosetta Stone. They have a terrific sale (50% and I bought the full program Levels I-V for about $250. Don't know if it's still on, but I received it just before the quake. Now that Our house is about restored, I'm getting ready to load it up.

SilverFast 8 will run under 10.8 as long as you have an IntelMac - which you will, when running Mountain Lion! :)

I run the latest OSX Lion 10.8.3 and works perfectly. I started using it on 1.8.0 I think, works perfectly

Nope. Unfortunately it only comes with Snow Leopard and doesn't support anything later than it. I'm sure hackers will find a way of making it run, though.

If you currently have Leopard (10.5) and want to upgrade to Snow Leopard (10.6) then you will need to have a Mac with an Intel processor, 1GB of Ram and 5GB of free space on your hard drive.

These are from 2005. No, they will NOT run Mavericks. I think "Panther" OSX 10.5 is the most recent they will run.

PPC only. 10.6 (Snow Leopard) was the first only Intel and 10.5 (Leopard) ran on both Intel and PPC. Some Macs shipped with Tiger, but had slightly different disks that won't work on other models. Hope this helps.

Hi Kalen I would say maybe 2009? You can always do the updates or upgrade the software.

Yes, you can load Snow Leopard or just about any Mac OS. On Oct. 29 I upgraded my Mac Mini to Mavericks

I'm still using Snow Leopard for my operating system and the device works fine; and, it should work with Mountain Lion. For peace of mind, call US Robotics (toll-free) and speak with a tech.

It says 10.5 (Leopard) because that is the installation requirement for 10.6 (Snow Leopard). As is stated, you cannot upgrade to Snow Leopard from an OS X version prior to 10.5 (Leopard).

Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.8 is the most recent OSX you can use. Anything newer won't install.

I had a similar bad experience with installing Mavericks on a similar iMac. While the additional memory was helpful, I don't think the newer OSs are exactly compatible with legacy models; we had overheating and random shutdown issues. We eventually rolled back to Snow Leopard and it's been much better since.

My PowerBook has Mac OS X 10.4, but you should send a message to the specific seller to know what it's running on. I would recommend getting aluminum PowerBooks because they have a better processor and they can run Mac OS X 10.5 if it has enough processing power.
