[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1287532, member: 45350"] When you get your Mac click on the Apple icon in the tool bar and drop down to About this Mac. Post the results in this thread and we can give you more specifics. As far as the OS, if you have Leopard and can run it by all means stay with it because the latest iteration of iTunes (your interface with your iPhone) don't support Tiger. As far as references, read the Stickies in each of the major sub-forums, especially the one in this the "Switcher" forum. And welcome to the Mac family. Enjoy! EDIT: As far as doing an OS install, if he wiped the system it is likely that he did a clean re-install of the OS so you should be good to go. If not, post back and we will guide you through the process. I am assuming since you have both Tiger and Leopard Disks, that Tiger was the original OS. If that is the case, the Leopard Disks should be retail OS disks (black). If they are gray disks, they are machine specific and may not install [/QUOTE]
