OS X V10.7 Lion :: Downgrade Computer To Snow Leopard?
Jul 3, 2012I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro (I bought it in Janurary, so not the new ones). My POS software will not run on Lion. I was wondering if there was any way that I can downgrade my computer to Snow Leopard, I have the disc. Also, I installed Snow Leopard on an external HD but my computer would not start up from that disc, is there any way to fix that? Information: Snow Leopard Version 10.6.3 - Lion Version: 10.7.4 - MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 4GB RAM.

Mar 16, 2012We have a new iMac at work bought through Apple's refurb site. It is running the latest version of Lion with all firmware updates, etc. It is replacing a G5 running Tiger.
The problem is this“ it is supposed to be running Adobe CS5, but also CS4 (and Office would be handly also) We have other macs here, some running Leopard, some Snow Leopard, but the Adobe apps are not happy at all in Lion, and InDesign CS4 crashes all the time and won't even print without jumping through a million hoops (obviously the Office 2004 app won't run at all).
Due to the level of issues we are having with Lion (and the reliability of the all the software under Snow Leopard) I am looking to downgrade to Snow Leopard.I have a full retail version of Snow Leopard (10.6.3), but the Lion system won't boot from the disk, it just gets to the grey screen, and beeps three times. I presume this means that there isn't the required drivers on the disk to run the hardware, or there's a firmware update that doesn't allow installation.
Am i totally stuck with this OS? I was looking to install Snow Leopard on a partiton, but when i run the install disk from the Lion desktop, it reports that I can't run it because 'I have Install Mac OS X 23.1.1.'I would really like to just have Snow Leopard on my iMac, or failing that, Lion on a small partition, and Snow Leopard and all the programs on the larger partition that I would boot from.

Intel Mac :: Downgrade To Snow Leopard From Lion Possible / Safe?
Mar 30, 2012I've been reading a lot on the process of downgrading from Lion to Snow Leopard. But it all seems a bit blurry as no actual facts are posted, and I couldn't find out if its only possible for machines that did not come with Lion pre-installed (mine did). I'm really keen on downgrading so I can get back to work. The compatibility with most of the audio plugins I use is not good, so I'd rather just keep working with the previous operating system. I have read a lot of the other threads on this matter, but the main point here is if it is possible to downgrade in a machine that came with Lion preinstalled. I've seen videos on how to do it, but they don't mention if it works on any Mac or only in those that, at some point, already had a version of Snow Leopard installed.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: If Downgrade To Snow Leopard On MBP - Will Files Still Work?
Apr 15, 2012I have a 17 inch MacBook Pro (early 2008). I installed Lion back earlier this year so I could use the iBooks application. Big mistake. Since then my wifi connection constantly drops out. I've roamed these forums and tried just about everything suggested. I would now like to go back to the Snow Leopard software I had installed before.
The problem is the last Time Machine update I ran was on Lion (I know *face palm*). If I were to completely erase my hard drive, install the Snow Leopard DVD, then install the Snow Leopard update, would I still be able to use some of the files from my Lion Time Machine back up? My biggest concerns are my music purchases on the iTunes store and Microsoft Word documents....

Nov 8, 2009I want to downgrade for any reasons, but I'm worried that I won't be able to get all my apps back (I realize I'll probably have to redownload the leopard versions). Anyway, I only have time machine backups from snow leopard, are they compatible with leopard (ie I use the snow leopard time machine backup to restore my personal files in leopard)?I have a bootable dmg image if anything goes wrong, but I don't want to waste time if I do something badly.

Feb 28, 2010I just got a Mac Mini to use as a HTPC. It came with Snow Leopard installed, but I want to switch back to Leopard.I have a Leopard disc(legal, official disc), but I can't get it to install.I tried inserting the disc and installing from the disc. After I select to install I am prompted to restart the computer, but when I do that the computer just keeps re-booting. I waited for five reboots, but when it did not seem to be working I manually turned off the power.I tried to erase the HD with Disk Utility, but it is grayed out and I can't do anything there either.I tried booting from the disc, but I can't do that either.

Sep 11, 2009Yesterday I went out and bought the new snow leopard and 4gb (2x2gb) of OCZ ram. First, I installed the OCZ ram and booted into Leopard for a minute to check it was working all right. Then I installed snow leopard and that went smoothly. I used my laptop for around 3 hours last night and then it froze. Then this morning I have used it for a little over an hour and it froze again. All my drivers are up to date.
View 3 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Apple Unleashes New Leopard Snow Leopard Betas?
Jul 13, 2009Apple this weekend followed the release of its latest Snow Leopard beta with new pre-releases of both Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard and Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Server.
Mac OS X 10.5.8 build 9L25
Since opening the Mac OS X 10.5.8 beta test to developers approximately one month ago, Apple has shown signs that the release may cap off development of Mac OS X 10.5.
For example, each new build has arrived with a focus area noticeably distinct from the last, with lower-level technologies and frameworks seeing greater attention than usual. As such, it's been speculated that the Mac maker may be giving its Leopard OS a final once-over.
This trend appears to have culminated with this past weekend's release of build 9L25, which no longer asks that developers focus their attention on a small subset of Leopard's components. Instead, it groups together the more than three dozen components that had been isolated into smaller focus groups in earlier betas.
The latest build also lists no known issues and addresses just two new bugs, one related to saving mail messages as individual message documents and another to URL localization.
Mac OS X 10.6 Server build 10A403
Separately, developers this weekend were also treated to a new build of Mac OS X 10.6 Server, labeled build 10A403. With it, Apple asked that they test upgrade installs of the server software itself, in addition to upgrade installs of Calendar server.
Developers were also reportedly asked to spend some time with the system's new Podcast Producer, evaluating as many third-party video and web cams as they possibly can. Included with the software is a new Web Podcast Capture which leverages a new Dual Source Video Capture feature for allowing users to create picture-in-picture format podcasts.
Mac OS X 10.6 build 10A402a
Mac OS X 10.6 Server build 10A403 arrived on the heels of Mac OS X 10.6 Client build 10A402a earlier in the week. That build introduced some widely-reported interface tweaks to the Dock's pop-up menus and Expose.
One AppleInsider reader has published a few more screenshots of these interface changes to his blog, including the Dock's new menus, Expos�'s new grid view, and changes to the Dock's grid view scroll bars. [ View this article at AppleInsider.com ]

View 3 Replies View RelatedApplications :: Downgrade Mail From SL To Leopard?
Jun 6, 2010Upgraded to Snow leopard and used it consistently for around 6 months now.Major problems with Neo office and canon printer drivers finally forced me to concede and make the long trek back to Leopard via Tiger One full system reinstall later and the iMac is a happy bunny. All except Mail. No issues with Address book, found the old files on my backup (TM), slipped them in and no worries.
Mail is being the proverbial pain in the whatnot. It installed happily with Tiger, I didn't open it. Upgraded quietly to Leopard and sat comfortably in the dock, until another person (who shall remain nameless to protect the guilty) tried to restore the emails from TM directly. End result smiley finder face with the message "You cannot use this version of the application Mail with this version of Mac OS X."
So I trashed it, used Pacifist to reinstall Mail from Tiger, tried to run it. Same message. So I ran the leopard upgrade, same message. Trashed it and tried again without trying to open it at the Tiger stage, same message.Everything I try fails please can some Mac genius point me in the right direction??
