[QUOTE="treaders, post: 583228, member: 47171"] Hello, I am trying to upgrade my Intel iMac (Early 2006) from OS X 10.4.11 to Leopard OS X 10.5. I insert the Leopard DVD and installation begins after restarting. The DVD consistency check runs fine but as soon as installation commences a yellow exclamation mark appears on the screen and informs me that installation could not complete as there is "no software to install". - I have checked the DVD for scratches: No scratches. - I have changed the RAM: Error messages occur regardless of the RAM configuration. (I have 2 x 1Gb RAM memory sticks installed, from Kingston memory). I went back to the original iMac RAM installed (2 x 512Mb RAM sticks) and the same error message appears. - Checked software update under the Apple icon on my iMac and all the OS X 10.4.11 software is current. - OS X 10.5 Leopard DVD purchased from Amazon. I restart the iMac using the Startup disk and return to OS X 10.4.11. Any hints on how to get the Leopard installation to work? Thanks, Ben [/QUOTE]
