Hi! I'm hoping someone can help me with this --- I have a used iMac G5 that came without the original discs.
The hard drive failed, so I got a replacement, formatted drive, but now I need OS X discs --- I've seen several different options, but I'm looking for the most economical option (saving $ for other upgrades ).
- I thought I could just order replacement "original" discs from Apple, but when I called them, they said they no longer have discs for my iMac G5.
- If I buy "Media Only" OS X discs online, do I qualify for a license, since I'm the owner of the iMac (and if so, how do I get one)?
- If neither of these is viable, what's my best option (bite the bullet and get full retail Tiger/Leopard, get another version and upgrade, etc.)?
Thank you in advance for your time!
