- G4 867 MHz 1 GB SDRAM Leopard OS X
Just purchased a new 21.5 iMac three weeks ago. I installed everything from a 6 month old backup from my old G-4 PowerPC. I lost six months of files because the G-4 finally just quit working and was too damaged to be repaired. So I bought the new Mac and used backups from my two externals to get things rolling.
But now I am concerned because it doesn't look like I am running Snow Leopard. And I am having too many issues for this to be a new Mac.
The last thing that happened: there was a software update just a few minutes ago and I got a notice that it would not be installed because something else was installed improperly. I tried to cut and paste the message to search for help but it didn't work. Grrrrr.
Further, if this is any indication, my desktop looks just like it did on the old Mac. I don't think Snow Leopard uses the same splash screen, does it?
Should I just insert the install CD for the iMac and go from there? Or better, what is the proper way to reinstall from the iMac CD?
iMac V. 10.6.4
Processor 3.06 GHz Core 2 DUO
Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz Ram
Boot Rom Version lM101.00CC.800
SMC Version 1.52f9
ATI Radeon HD 4670
Nvidia MCP79 AHGI
