dmg file I created through this process unto a thumb drive (needs to be at least 8gb). Nothing to be afraid of.įrom there I used "Carbon Copy Cloner" and Cloned the. Detailed instructions for this process can be found here.Īfter I had the modified. This is not fancy it's a simple matter of copy and paste. If you have both you can splice the installer package files from the retail DVDs (which work with any Mac) with the installer package files from the 10.6.7 disk image and create a "universal" OS X 10.6.7 installer disk image. I got a RAM Error message (three tones) at boot. I bought the retail DVDs (10.6.3) from Apple, and they did not work.
It will be an disk image for a DVD not intended for this model of iMac, and it will not work. These iMacs originally shipped with installion DVDs but Apple would not send them to me.ĭownload/or otherwise obtain an OS X 10.6.7.iso file from wherever you might find something like that. They are not backwards compatible with the Snow Leopard retail DVDs Apple offers, which is OS X 10.6.3. The problem is that when these models shipped they had either Lion (10.7) or at the earliest Snow Leopard 10.6.6. This eliminated pretty much every option there was for installing an OS on the Mac. I just bought a mid 2011 27" refurb iMac from IBM and they scrubbed the HD completely. This question is a year old but I am going to answer it incase someone else runs into this same issue.
