"Mac OS X can't be installed on this computer"
Hello!
I've just received a white macbook from my uncle and it has Mac OS X 10.5.8 on it. I purchased a legit copy of Mac OS X Snow Leopard so I could update my mac's software. The reason I'm upgrading to Snow Leopard is because all later mac versions including El Captain, require you to have at least Mac 10.6 to install. Once I proceed to boot from my Snow Leopard USB, all is well I select my language (English) then I wait for the install process to commence, but I come up with error,
"Mac OS X can't be installed on this computer"
Thats word for word what it says, I've looked at a bunch of other guides on how to fix this but none have worked! I've tried making sure that my Mac HDD is formatted to GUID Partition Table and I've made sure my Mac has the right specifications to support Snow Leopard but it just doesn't work.
Update (02/14/2016)
My problem is still not fixed. I've contacted Apple support and nothing!
Is this a good question?
Can you give us the full serial number. It's located in the battery chamber on the side.
