Prior to upgrading to Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac from Office 2008, one of my widgets (url...) displayed a double-arrow character (⟷) in the text. Since installing Office it has been replaced by a question mark in a box. I haven't encountered this problem elsewhere yet.Could installing Office have altered other files or fonts to cause problems?

I just got my brand new 2.66ghz iMac in the mail. Wondering whether it is worth installing snow leopard before I painfully switch everything from my old computer to this one. I don't want to have to redo my entire system later.

If so what is the best way to do this? i don't want to just clone the internal drive to the firewire drive, i want a clean install to play with.
I need to install snow leopard on intel imac that is already running lion. I have created new partition and try to boot off of Install Disk 10.6.4 but it never completely comes up all the way to start install.

I have a tower Mac Pro with Snow Leopard running on it.Unfortunately one of the software that I use doesn't have yet a Snow Leopard update. So I am thinking maybe I can install older version of Leopard on one of the internal drives (i have 3 additional internal drives), so I can boot my computer from either Leopard or Snow Leopard, depending on needs (i don't want to get rid of Snow Leopard).
I never installed OS X system before, so I am a bit scared.The internal drive is ready, I have the old Leopard on disks, what are the next steps to take?
My small business has an office iMAC and a Macbook Air both running 10.6.8. The two aren't synced in any way other than that the Air can access files from the iMAC's hard drive via the network. I have 2 email accounts on the iMAC's mail and just one of them set up on the Air.Â
I've just bought a new 15" Macbook Pro running Lion. I'd like to be able to sync some folders (but definitely not all), bookmarks, iTunes and mail accounts between the iMAC and the new Macbook Pro. Ideally I'd like to be able to access the shared/synced folders when I don't have an internet connectionÂ
What's the best method?Â
Snow Leapord doesn't have iCloud does it? If not, why the **** not?Â
Is it just easiest to set up the email accounts on the new MBP as normal and then use dropbox for the folders I want to share? Can I access the with no internet connection?Â
One other question, can i link a gmail account to my Apple mail?

Can I run Snow Leopard on a MacBookPro Late 2011 build 11D50b? I have read in the forums its possible for early 2011 MacBook Pros. Even on a virtual machine would be OK. Print Drivers are not available for 10.7 for photo printers we use for our business and will not be made since the printer is no longer manufactured

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to build a modular workflow to perform a NetRestore of Lion, rather than the old fashioned way of cloning a system. I am using SIU 10.7.3 on a 10.7.4 client iMac. Our servers are running 10.6.8 Server. I am also trying to follow the directions from the 10.6 Deployment book from Peach Pit, as well as looking things up in SIU's built-in Help and I am running into problems.Â
Firstly, I am not clear on how to install 3rd party apps such Office 2011 or apps that install via .mpgks. I created a couple of test Workflows and when I tried to include the Office installer, it would fail at the very last step of the NetRestore. Mpgks would not even install at all. Â
I am also not clear on how to inlcude apps that do not install via packages, such as Firefox.
Secondly, documentation is confusing regarding workflows that work for Netinstall and Netrestore. The Add User action is only available for NetBoot workflows and not NetInstall modular workflows, which doesn't really make sense.Â
Why is the Add Packages and Post-Install Scrpits available only on NetInstall images? It makes more sense to me that this action should be available for NetRestore workflows.Â

Hey peeps. I got my retail copy of Snow Leopard. Unfortunately, my Super Drive seems to not read Dual layered DVD's (including Snow Leopard, my regular Leopard, etc) Is there a way I can install booting from a USB drive? Or a Firewire drive?

Well in my quest to upgrade my MBP 5,1 I got my memory and a 500 GB Seagate Momentus XT from Newegg. I'm enjoying 4 GB of RAM now. So, I'm debating with myself about what to do. Obviously, a new HDD is a great opportunity to install Snow Leopard and start from a clean slate. Or I was thinking about cloning my current Leopard install to an external HDD with CCC, but I'm having trouble understanding how I would accomplish getting it back. I'm thinking you can do this by booting from the install disc, but I'm not sure. So, if I go the SL route, will I be able to use Migration Assistant and an external enclosure (if anyone could recommend one, that would be great!) for the old boot drive to move my important stuff over?

Some weeks ago I accidentally deleted the app x11 from my iMac (I have the version 10.6.8). Now I am trying to install a game that needs that app. I've tried to download and re-install the x11 from the Apple website, but when I'm installing it, a message shows up saying that "x11 can't be installed. a more recent version of this software is already installed". but that's impossible, since I deleted it! I've been looking through my iMac with the Finder and the app x11 doesn't show up, so it is definitely not in my computer. What can I do to install the x11 in my iMac again? I don't think it's possible that the app still remains in my computer.Â

I'm trying to install Mac OS X Snow Leopard on to my macbook but I keep getting this error.
"mac os x installation couldn't be completed" I get this message usually within 5 minutes of installation.
My macbook specs are...
Mac OS X Version 10.5.8, 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM
I've already tried repairing the disks. (I repaired my leopard with the snow leopard CD because I couldn't find the leopard CD.
I heard it was fine to do.) I would have tried to verify and repair the partition but the buttons seemed to be grayed out for some reason.
Here is the error log...

(sorry for the download, forum rules. "the text that you have entered is too long (123483 characters). Please shorten it to 20000 characters long.")
Will it install like the OS does on the iPhone, as in the existing data isn't put in a new folder? What exactly happens when you install a new OSX?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter 5 years with 10.3.9 on an iBook, I've bitten the bullet and bought one of the new iMacs. The transfer has gone fairly well, but I'm having trouble moving my address book and keychain data across to the new machine.
They didn't come across using the Migration Assistant: the Snow Leopard Keychain won't accept anything exported from the Panther version. If I export the address book as V-cards from the old system (the only means of export, the new systems asks me whether I really want to import n cards, but after I say yes nothing appears in the bbok.
It's al very frustrating, (and not very Apple-like!) I'm on the verge of doing the whole thing manually, one address and one keychain entry at a time, which seems quite daft.
I just replaced the hardrive in one of my macbooks. i am trying to load snow leopard on it and it just skips through the installation and says Intallion failed?
anyone have any thoughts. i am installng it from an external harddrive!
I've read it is possible to partition your hard drive so you can have leopard and snow leopard installed at the same time on one computer, correct?Can I partition my current drive without having to reinstall leopard? or lose any data? I will of course have a back up but is it possible to create another partition if I have room while keeping my leopard install intact?If later I decide I love (or hate) snow leopard can I get rid of the other partition and expand one of the partitions to take up the entire hard drive (like how I have it now) again without reinstalling or losing data? (on the partition I intend to keep not the one i get rid of obviously)
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am in a library and have my disc to upgrade to Snow Leopard. I want to do it now while I'm reading, but I'm afraid maybe there's some sound effect that will happen when the installation is complete (like there was when I booted up my macbook for the first time). I have the volume set to mute--will it stay on mute?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy wife's Macbook (2.0 Intel Core Duo) is not recognizing the Snow Leopard disc, and I'm not sure why. I initially thought that even though Apple is saying that all Intel's are compatible with SL, they focus on the Core 2 Duo's and since her computer is technically a single core, it wouldn't work. Everything I have read has stated that SL will just run in 32 bit mode with Core Duo's - so I'm pretty confused. As for it being a bad disc, it's recognized immediately in my MBP...
