My understanding was that as soon as Lion was released Leopard was no longer supported. If I'm lookiing at the correct everymac.com entry for your system than you could also upgrade to either Snow Leopard (on its way out) or Lion, the currently supported version of OS X. iMac "Core 2 Duo" 2.16 20-Inch Specs (Late 2006, MA589LL, iMac5,1, A1207, 2118) @ EveryMac.com http://bit.ly/xY6CTp Not sure what would be the best approach for you in your situation. For one thing, to be safe I'd recommend that you backup your system before upgrading, but you indicated in your earlier post that you weren't sure how to do that. Another thing is that Lion is installed from the Internet, not from a DVD as earlier versions of OS X were. But you need to have Snow Leopard installed in order to install Lion from the Apple App store. Tedious for someone who doesn't enjoy futzing with computers for its own sake. Think I'll step back and see what advice others might offer. -irrational john -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
