Hi all,
First post and newbie here
Built my first custom build which i plan to have as a hackintosh running Linux in a VM.
I currently have an old iMac G5 from late 2006 i think and i'm trying to get Mountain Lion so i can create the bootable USB etc etc HOWEVER my mac is so old that i get the generic
"We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer"
message when trying to purchase from the App Store.
Just wondering whether there is a way around this or whether i'm stuck until I can get use of a Mac with decent enough specs to upgrade...?
Googled this to no avail by the way so last resort is posting this
Thanks in advance for your support,
Olly
