If it is determined that you need to reinstall OS, you can do one of the following: (1) Call Apple to order a copy of the original specific OS-install DVD for your iMac. There will be a nominal charge (~ $17); it will arrive relatively quickly within a few days. (2) Order from the Apple Online Store a "retail"(universal-install) OS 10.6.x DVD: <http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard> I believe that they are selling 10.6.3, which should work for your iMac. > I looked for the original install discs and just realized that none came with > the computer. Is this the norm with the newer Imacs? No. My 2011 MacBook Pro came with an "OS Install DVD".
