Hi Everyone,
My brother-in-law has an old white macbook. He has recently gotten an iPhone and since he is using Tiger on his macbook he cannot install the latest version of iTunes. I have an old aluminum macbook that I don't use. I was wondering if my grey install disc would allow me to install leopard on his old white macbook? If not I will look into getting Snow Leopard for him. We don't have any Apple retailers around here so we would have to order it in.
Thanks for any replies.
 
The grey install disks that come with Macs are model-specific and will not work on other models. Your can either buy a retail copy of Mac OS X or contact Apple for replacement install disks.
 
Since you own Leopard you could use that, if you could get your hands on a retail disk. If not, the Apple disk is only $29. There are *ahem* other methods of acquiring the disk, but considering the price, do the right thing and buy it.
