I am a former PC user and now a new mac user, so please be patient. I recently purchased a MBP used and I want to start from scratch because then i will know what does where and the machine wil run as if out of the box.
Now for my problem. My problem is that i can't install any osx software. I tried to install 10.5 to no avail so i thought since the current OSX is 10.4 that was the problem but NOPE. When i install the OSX disc im able to click on the install and begin a process but as soon as the install begins a window opens up stating i cannnot install the disc.
The only thing I can think of is that the person who initially set up this MBP set it up so no one can mess with it by not allowing any system installs. Can someone point me in the right direction with noobie steps. I dont know if this helps any but the lap top was from a rental house and maybe thats the reason behind the inabliity to install OSX 10.5
I dont know if this will help but mt mbp is a 17" 04 model.
Please someone help.
