iMac G5 and Snow Leopard

[cjwosbon]

Hello all,

I have an iMac G5 (circa 2005) with a non intel processor, I recently purchased Snow Leopard to update this, however it advised I need an Intel Processor to install Snow Leopard.

Is there a way of getting round this, the main reason being is I want to use the Magic Trackpad - but ive been told this will only run on Snow Leopard OSX?

If anyone could answer this asap I would be grateful, today is the last day I can take back Snow Leopard and the Magic Trackpad to the Apple Store for a refund.

Thanks as always

Chris

Impossible.

Really?

Nothing at all?

Nothing at all. Really.

Snow Leopard only contains code for Intel CPUs. There is NO way to make it run on a PowerPC processor. PowerPC Macs are no longer supported by Apple.
