Hi
I purchased a Mid 2011 Imac that has OS X E1 Capitan installed as the operating system. I am trying to uninstall it to load Mac OS Snow Leopard 10.6 which I have the DVD Installation Disks for from an old Mac I had. I am looking to carry this out to run Music Program (Pro Tools 8) which this OS is compatible with. My problem is when I go to uninstall E1 Capitan I cant erase the Hardrive its on under Disk Utility the Erase tab is not shaded. When I go to install the Snow Leopard I keep getting the following message ( You cant use this version of the application "Install Mac OS X" with this version of OS X you have " Install Mac OS X" 23.1.
I have tried numerous things but cant seem to find a solution. I believe a Mid 2011 Imac can still run Snow Leopard.
I don't know if a similar thread to this already exist, but I would very much appreciate any assistance with this.
Many thanks.
