| [Snow] updating to snow using Target disc mode I have a MBP that the dvd drive is out so I am using my iMac and target disc mode on the MBP to update to snow. I runs the update for about 10 minutes and then says the install will continue after a restart. The iMac tries to reboot but stops at the gray screen with the apple an no progress circle. 3 tries/ same result. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks |

kudos:6 | Are the iMac and MBP using the same processor family (Core 2 Duo)?
Try to boot in Verbose mode to see where it's getting stuck - hold down Command+V at startup.

Your better option would be to follow the remote install procedure for the Macbook Air: »support.apple.com/kb/PH6450 |

You can restore the Snow DVD to a USB drive and then just hold option and boot to that to install. |

trying kitsune's sugestion and not getting pop up menu in step 7. have tried both wireless and ethernet.
the MBP is a 2.16 GHz C2D and the iMac is a 2.93 GHz Ci7 if that helps |

I am able to open the install dvd across my network and the menu bar shows the install program is running, but I don't get the install window.
This is the install log from the installer.
