Good for MacBooks

It worked flawlessly on my 2006 and 2007 MacBook Pros. No problems course it was brand new, but still it was an easy install and I would recommend it for people who own old MacBooks.

Huge Help!

I had an old 2007 17" macbook pro that I took apart, re-pasted the logic board, and wanted to restore for old times sake. I was just missing the original dvd and this was the last piece of the puzzle to get it up and running again. After the install, it runs as smooth as it did on day one and I use the machine to learn some C/C++ and python programming. It's a beautiful development platform and Snow Leopard still feels pretty modern in 2022. DVD was a huge help in reviving a 15 year old computer that didn't need to be in a landfill. Thank you!!Read full review...

Great upgrade for old Mac Mini

I acquired an old A1176 Mac Mini which had OSX 10.4 installed. It had the 1.8 Core Duo chip so it could not run the newer 64 bit OS. Snow Leopard was the only viable modern OS upgrade. This listing provided a new DVD version at a reasonable price.

I'm new to the Apple environment and was surprised at the relative ease and speed of the installation even with the 32 bit chip. I highly recommend the upgrade for those unwilling to do the difficult CPU swap to the Core 2 Duo.

Needed To Access App Store

This item is essential for accessing App Store and upgrading to current generation of Mac Os which for some reason is not available online for download. So if you have an older Mac that had been upgraded (RAM/SSD), this item is worth to get considering the upgrade can handle the new Mac OS flawlessly (Yosimite)Read full review...

Great Lightweight OS

The last OS upgrade for the older generation apple computers, Snow Leopard is a well polished and light weight operating system. Although it is in its last years with regards to browser and application support, it continues to run well and look great. Fantastic product.Read full review...

Best Thing Ever

I went to specialists and they were ready to charge me over $100 just to reset the computer. Each time I contacted customer support they weren’t able to help me. This disk made it super simple and I got it done in a matter of no time. Highly recommend, it’s great!!Read full review...

Reviving an older MacBook Pro 17

This was the last version of OS X that worked well with this 2009 model. I'd been updating it along with my newer Macs all along — big mistake. After downgrading it, its purring (pun intended) like a cat! The party from whom I got this sent it out right away, and it was as described. Couldn't ask for more.Read full review...

Upgrade from Tiger OSX

The Snow Leopard OS is essential when upgrading an older Mac from Tiger OS to any further upgrades. Snow Leopard OS is still acknowledged and highly regarded for its stability and reliability. There seems to be some level of Apple support still being offered as many users are either going back to it or remaining with it and not upgrading past Snow Leopard.

In my situation I upgraded a 2008 iMac from Tiger OSX. This allowed for further internet browser updates such as Google Chrome. Alone this was a winner.

Excellent software and very inexpensive. Upgrading to newer OSX versions are free from Apple Store as long as upgrading from Snow Leopard. Make sure you choose the correct version which is the FULL 10.6 upgrade and not discs specific to a particular Mac product. The correct disc is white and has a picture of a leopard on disc and packaging. Gray colored versions are computer model specific.

Certainly worth the purchase!

It's a good operating system

It was good for his time I only wish that Apple would offer more support for security on their operating system. I'm running this for music software which in the current operating system does not work..Read full review...
