trayloader Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Hello Experts, first of all thank You for Your help- this inquiry comes from Germany. I am unfortunately bound to 10.4.11 at the moment, due to drivers for my scanner and native CS2 photoshop plugins. I am currently on a 24" 2.8 Alu iMac and am planning to buy the 27" version (which comes with snow Leo).The 27" C2D to be exact, so basically the same CPU,no? Heck, I even be willing to move the whole HD from the 24" to the 27". Is there any way to get this successfully running? Thank You very very much!

Scottapotamas Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 moving the hard drive isn;t really an option. The os wouldn;t respond to new hardware... Just because the processor is simmilar wont mean it will run. You are bound to have a different logic board, video card etc. Anything below cs4 won;t really run on snow so i see your problem. It may be possible to install tiger on it, but as i don;t have an imac, i cant test it or help you out with that... I think you should call an apple store etc, or ask a question on their forum in the support section... They would know what it can and can't do...

booger_sniffer5000 Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Tiger lacks drivers for some of the hardware in the 27" iMac. So, no, not possible.

U.C. Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Leopard should work. You could try moving the drives, though I guess the unsupported video card will cause a kernel panic. and BTW in OSX due to its micro-kernel, you can move disks across totally different configurations and it will work just the same.

kledi0 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 not sure about the hw drivers, but definitely the tiger disks will not install on the new imac. what you can do is start the new imac in target mode, and install tiger from the old imac over firewire.

*Crysis* Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Install VMWare on Snow Leopard and install a copy of Tiger on a virtual machine?
