niddy Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 So I've bought a Macbook pro after dabbling in osx86 for a while. The Macbook came with Tiger on it but I'm trying to install Leopard using my old osx86 disks. I've got Kalyway, iAtkos and ToH, but when I put them in the disk drive and reboot holding down 'C', all I get is a blinking cursor. Does anyone a way I could get one of these disks to work on the Macbook pro? Gracias! PS I love my MacBook pro Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/88176-possible-to-use-osx86-disk-on-a-real-mac/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 No go. I remember attempts to install Jas 10.4.8 on a Macbook, that didn't work either. You will need to modify the hacked versions back to the original to install on apple hardware, or get the original ISO Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/88176-possible-to-use-osx86-disk-on-a-real-mac/#findComment-628472 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacUser2525 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 PS I love my MacBook pro Then show your appreciation and buy the retail install disk...

capt_cope Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Then show your appreciation and buy the retail install disk... I agree. Even though I'm aware that my hackintosh violates the EULA, I bought a retail copy of leopard. Pirating is still stealing, even if you did buy their hardware. If you can afford a real mac, I'm betting you can afford $120 for leopard.

mtotho Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 well you already downloaded various versions of hacked leopard.. just download a retail version. You dont want a modded osx on ur real mac.

I bought mine as well it is the least you can do, one thing though Copyright infringement is not stealing and in a lot of countries reverse engineering for compatibility is perfectly legal most EULAs are not worth the paper their printed on they only paritialy work in the USA.

neodoru Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 also if you bought your macbook after october, apple has (/had) an offer with an update to leopard for 5 (or 50) bucks. don't be so ridiculous not to take the advantage!

niddy Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 Ok thanks for the advice. I know this is going to sound bad but I have a tough time knowing that I'd have to work more than a day to buy something that I can get for free. Also, I feel like $120 means more to me than to a corporation that posted a profit of $1.6 billion last quarter.

agrafuese Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 well you already downloaded various versions of hacked leopard.. just download a retail version. You dont want a modded osx on ur real mac. I'd have to agree with this statement based on pure logic. If you've already stolen the wrong thing, you might as well steal the right one (if you're going to steal at all). Even if you were to get a hacked install disc to work on a real mac, it's not going to make you a better person.

superstition Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I already had the retail disc, but it would be convenient to be able to make an image of my Hackintosh and use it with a real Mac, to save the trouble of installing/configuring. Since I'm running the vanilla kernel, it doesn't seem like this would be such a dumb idea. It takes a heck of a long time to start an installation from scratch.

capt_cope Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 heck of a long time? Heck I installed leopard twice, on a hackintosh, with an ancient DVD drive (took a full 32 minutes to load up to the installer page, I clocked it) found, downloaded, and installed drivers for sound and time machine, found, downloaded, and installed the 10.5.2 patch in about 4 hours. If you are installing on a mac... figure on 45 minutes. And back your settings up on an external drive, import them when the installer asks. And yeah $120 probably means more to me than apple, but then my car probably means more to a bum than it does to me. So he should just take it right? Stealing is stealing, at least accept responsibility for what you do.

neodoru Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Dude "If you purchased a qualifying Mac after October 1st, you can upgrade to Leopard for $9.95 (plus tax)."

niddy Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 I bought it on eBay and it was one of the older models that unfortunately doesn't qualify for the $10 upgrade. Don't get me wrong, I do have a guilty conscience, but I like my $$$ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/88176-possible-to-use-osx86-disk-on-a-real-mac/#findComment-630107 Share on other sites More sharing options...
