> Sorry it took so long to get back to you guys. Life has been busy. > I was able to resurrect my iMac. I found a way to eject the stuck Snow Leopard disc and put in an install disc that I found in the original Apple Care package that came with the computer and boot from it holding down the C key. From there I was able to clean up some of the mess with disk utilities. I have been back up and running for about a week.
Why do I want to run Sierra on this old computer? I need to have Sierra running to connect my iPhone 5S to the iMac so I can load my music and other stuff on the phone using iTunes. My iphone is running on ios 10.3 and it will not connect with the iMac running 10.7.5. I don't have a good enough reason to spend $1500+ on a new computer. This old iMac runs great on 10.7. It does a good job of making videos and burning them, running my music editing and recording software, and just about anything else I need done. No point in buying a new machine. But I do still want to put Sierra on a partition on an external drive so I can link up my phone. I guess I must have done something wrong on the previous attempt. I am going to give it another try tomorrow. I'll read through the literature on using the install patch again and hopefully I won't screw it up this time. -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
