i got my macbook pro 13" preinstalled with leopard and it had the snowleopard cd in it.
i installed snowleopard but that has reduced my battery life mysteriously.

the box only has a snowleopard cd, no leopard installation cd.
Basically looking for an answer to the title question. If it is possible, which version of Snow Leopard.do I need to buy....the $29 version? I'm basically wanting to downgrade because I want iLife 11 suite which has the iWeb software.

We 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.

I'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.

I 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....

I just bought a new mac with snow leopard preinstalled, But like every new os, a lot of devices, programs, are unsupported,so... is there any way to downgrade to leopard without paying a new licenselike vista - windows xp downgrade program ?
View 24 Replies View RelatedI 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.

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.

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
