Mar 11, 2015 Question is if the Macbook came with Snow Leopard I think what version can I put on the flash drive to re install via flash drive? Does it have to be something newer than what's currently on it 10.9.1 or does it have to be Snow Leopard 10.6? Which Macs are compatible with MacOS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'? Apple states that all Intel-based Macs with at least 1 GB of RAM, 5 GB of available hard drive space, and a DVD drive - or access to one, as the case may be for the MacBook Air models - are capable of running MacOS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'. PowerPC-based Macs are not compatible.
MacOS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard' Q&A - Updated December 7, 2010
I'm hoping to upgrade my old iMac to Snow Leopard. It currently runs OS X 10.4.11, has a processor of 2 GHz Intel Core Duo, memory of 2 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM. Snow Leopard is the highest OS X version you can go on that machine and yes it should be good for the machine as it has the better video drivers and PPC code is stripped out. Mar 11, 2015 Question: Q: MacBook Pro A1286 Reinstall The Item is temporarily Unavailable OS X Hi, Macbook Pro A1286 stuck on Mac OS X Utility recovery page. It wouldn't let me do the 'Reinstall Mac OS X' option and says 'The item is temporarily unavailable.' That way of downloading Mac OS X updates and new apps was introduced with Snow Leopard and means that anyone with a Mac running Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard or earlier can’t actually access the Mac App.

Which Macs are compatible with MacOS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'?
Apple states that all Intel-based Macs with at least 1 GB of RAM, 5 GB of available hard drive space, and a DVD drive -- or access to one, as the case may be for the MacBook Air models -- are capable of running MacOS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'. PowerPC-based Macs are not compatible.
Some early Intel-based Macs shipped only with 512 MB of RAM by default, so those will need to have more RAM installed if they haven't already been upgraded. Some users may need to free up additional drive space as well, but other than that, all Intel-based Macs are good to go. The Maximum Supported MacOS X listing of the By Capability section of EveryMac.com provides a complete list.
However, the full list of compatible systems includes a large number of asterisks, which indicates that not all of these Intel-based Macs are capable of fully utilizing the new technologies introduced by MacOS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'. https://busyrenew811.weebly.com/blog/microsoft-excel-1512-3-dmg.
Macs that are capable of officially booting in 64-bit mode, using Grand Central Dispatch, and are equipped with OpenCL-capable graphics are provided below:
Mac lion os x 10.7 - installesd.dmg download. Official 64-Bit, GCD, OpenCL Capable Macs:
- Mac Pro'Eight Core' 2.8 (2008)*
* This model does not support 'OpenCL' running the default ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT video card. If configured with the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT or NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600, it does support OpenCL.
If your Intel-based Mac is not on the above list, do not despair, it still can take advantage of new features and gain a modest performance boost as well, but the above 'professional' Macs are the most capable of exploiting new 'Snow Leopard' technologies in the future. Additional Macs that cannot officially boot in 64-bit mode also can be hacked when doing so becomes more necessary for increased speed.
