Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Install DVD Full Iso Image
Alke Stilwell
I've tried using disc utility to copy an image of the disk and mounting and to try to trick my mac to thinking its a disk, then tried rebooting the mac while holding down the option button but nothing but the hard drive comes up.
All yield the same error (link to pip log: ). I've seen others have had success installing PIL using the Snow Leopard default python 2.6.1, so I'm not sure why I'm having so much trouble getting it to work with 2.6.2.
UPDATED 2011-05: Note, that the newer Xcode 4, released for experimental use with 10.6 and expected to be standard with 10.7, no longer includes PPC support so, if you install Xcode 4, this suggestion will not work. Options include using the newer 64-bit/32-bin Python 2.7.x installers from python.org or installing a newer Python 2.6 and PIL and the various 3rd-party libs using MacPorts, Homebrew, or Fink.
Your best solution that doesn't involve MacPorts or Fink would probably be to compile and install Python from the 2.6 release branch from either the Mercurial Python Repository or the Subversion Python Repository. According to Message 92315 of Issue 6802, Ronald Oussoren fixed this in Revision r74686.
I've been seeing similar errors using Python 2.6.2 installed from the Mac Disk Image while trying to then install Fabric in a virtualenv, so I plan to compile and install from the 2.6 release maintenance branch. If you want, I'll update when successful.
IT seems to me that the "No such file" is conjunction with stdarg.h is the most interesting error. There seems to be a header file missing. I don't know how to make sure it's installed on OS X, so this only half an answer, sorry about that, but maybe it pushes you in the right direction.
This was tested using an iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011) 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 with MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6 installed. The flash drive needs to be at least 8 GB in size. The Snow Leopard ISO file was the same as discussed in this answer, which should be the same ISO you have linked to in your question.
Note: This flashdrive will be using the Apple Partition Map scheme. This differs from the flash drive created using the Disk Utility, which used the Master Boot Record scheme. In other words, there is more than one way to create a USB flash drive installer from a Snow Leopard ISO file.
Enter the commands given below to create the USB flash drive installer. Here, an assumption is made that the ISO file name is snow leopard install.iso and the file resides in your Downloads folder. Also, an assumption is made that the identifier is disk2. If necessary, make the appropriate substitutions.

Be sure to use a standard installation DVD .dmg or .iso, some of these are copied from the "grey" disk, which means they're attached to a specific machine and won't allow you to install even though you can still boot into it successfully.
As another user noted, the Balena Etcher method works great on a Mac. On my 2021 MacBook Pro (with M1 Pro chip), I created a bootable OS X Snow Leopard USB drive using a .DMG of Snow Leopard I downloaded on the internet. And then installed Snow Leopard on a 2009 MacBook Pro without a hiccup.
I have wiped my hard drive and am trying to reinstall the operating system. I have tried installing the recommended High Sierra which keeps failing. I have a Snow Leopard disk, but it keeps crashing when installing. Please help!
If you need to erase your disk before installing macOS, select Disk Utility from the Utilities window, then click Continue. You probably don't need to erase, unless you're selling or giving away your Mac or have an issue that requires you to erase. Learn more about when and how to erase.
When I double click the "InstallMacOSX.pkg" it says "This version of OS X 10.11 cannot be installed on this computer" (my iMac). I checked in the Applications Folder to see if the Installer app was there, but it's not. There is the "Install OS X" folder on my desktop, can I copy this to my flash drive?
I am a bit concerned because the ISO image which I created is 7.23 GB and the actual Snow Leopard DVD is 6.19 GB when looking at the drive's properties. The explanation may be in that the DVD contains both Mac and Windows files. When I use MacDrive 7 to view the Mac files on the DVD or Image, they total 6.11 GB. When I use MacDrive to view the Windows files on the DVD or Image, they total 984 MB. If you combine these two, they total about 7.09 GB which could explain the 7.23 GB total size for the ISO. However, the drive property where the DVD is always shows 6.19 GB whether I am viewing the Mac files or Windows files.
I sold my old imac running Snow Leopard, so I erased the drive, reinstalled OS, and created a user account to run the updates. I lost the password and the person who bought it could not figure out how to install the install CD and erase the disc in disc utility, and reinstall the OS.
So I get it back, boot off the install CD and go to Disc Utilities to erase the disc. Then when I try to install the iOS Snow Leopard, it won't install. I ran First Aid, then rebooted off my Disc Warrior, and replaced the directory, and tried again and I still get this.
It is the original installer disc. There is nothing to back up, it was a fresh install that I created a user account and lost the password, so erased the disc with Disc Utility using the original installer disc.
i found a disc image and burned it to a double sided DVD as the normal DVD was too small to hold the disc image. So i try to start off that DVD and the mac won't recognize it. My other computer shows it fine. is it that that DVD on that old iMac from 2009 won't read double sided DVDS or is there any way to do it short of buying an applie issued DVD?
says I need to create a GUID partitian on the flash drive and install the disc image on it. So I do that, and its all there but when I start up the iMac and hold down the "Option" key and i just see a gray screen, my cursor and it never goes past there. What might I be doing wrong to not have the 32GB Patriot USB drive show up? Its in the USB on back of computer. Any help is appreciated.
I just had this exact same problem. A lot of people have been suggesting to use an external hard drive to put the Snow Leopard installation media on. This can be slow (eww, USB), and not everyone has a large enough external drive.
If you have access to an external USB or Firewire hard drive and another computer that does have a working CD drive, you could use the other computer to clone the Leopard CD onto the external drive, and install from there.
This post is a Snow Leopard update to a process I wrote about when Leopard (10.5) came out. This post will tell you how to create a NetInstall image that will upgrade a Mac running Leopard to the latest version of Snow Leopard in one step. It will also work to upgrade a Mac running Tiger to the latest version of Snow Leopard.
Do the computers need to already boot from the Netboot server and have an image on the server for this to work or can you update a stand alone computer with this? All of our machines have a standard install locally on the computer. Thanks!
Does this work using server 10.6.4 NetBoot? I have tried creating a Netinstall workflow using these instructions with 10.6.1 update package and 10.6.4 combo with no luck. I also tried using the vanilla 10.6 install with the 10.6.1 & 10.6.4 update with no luck.
Hello, I have been trying to install the IMX477 camera module from Leopard Imaging on my TX2 (Jetpack R28.2) and I am so far failing. I updated from 28.1 to 28.2 and still, the Leopard camera module does not show up under /dev/. The embedded one, i.e. the one that comes with the development kit, works fine.
I won't cover the process on how to burn a DVD or create a bootable USB installer. If you'd like to make a bootable USB installer, use Nawcom's ModUSB method or MyHack (OS X only). If you choose Nawcom's method, you'll need an active Linux partition or Live CD. Ubuntu works just fine. If your image is a DMG image, use AcetoneISO to make it an ISO.
This part is pretty much the easiest part. Once you have your installation media ready, pop it in and boot with it. You won't need to take any extra precautions to boot into the OS X installer for this system. Once you get passed the language selection window, click Utilities, then Disk Utility. Partition your hard drive accordingly as Mac Extended Journaled. (If you want to dual boot, look around for another guide on how to do it post-installation.)
After you've partitioned your drive, close DU and select it from the installation locations. Don't start the installation though. Click Customize and uncheck the VooDooHDA option. Leave the rest untouched (unless you want Quicktime and Rosetta). Now you can install the system.
Ok, so now you've got the system installed and you've probably already noticed the low resolution of 1024x768. You'll notice other things but for now, we only need to focus on updating. DO NOT update to 10.6.8 yet. Download the 10.6.7 combo update from Apple's site. After that's done don't run it just yet.
After you reboot, install the 10.6.7 update. When prompted to reboot, don't. Use Kext Helper to install The AppleHDA KEXTs, the Voodoo PS/2 KEXts, the IO80211Family KEXTs, use Kext Utility to fix your permissions, place the included DSDT.aml in /, and use [url=" -why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] to rollback your USB drivers. Now you can reboot.
My latest attempt involves opening the specific configuration .vmx file (which is linked to a VMware image .vmdk) and hence booting it with help of a kernel (darwin.iso). A description of these steps undertaken can be found here: -Mac-OSX-On-Windows
I have tried different VMware images and different kernels, but I keep getting the error: "The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system (...)". So I am guessing that something went wrong when unlocking the Mac OS X (I don't know how to check this however, since the Mac OS X Guest Host seems to be installed and unlocked correctly, that is it appears in the list of available guest hosts).
