MacBook :: Did Mid 2010 Originally Ship With OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Or OS X 10.7 Lion
Jun 10, 2012
I recently bought a Mid 2010 MacBook from eBay that has Lion on it. I'm trying to do a reinstall of Mac OS in order to remove an account that came on it but the restore process says that I'm not the "owner" when I type in my Apple ID. I don't have the original restore discs. I called Apple about this and they said that I could buy the retail version of Snow Leopard or buy Lion "again" in the app store but with my Apple ID.
I would think that if this computer originally shipped with Lion that I shouldn't have to buy it again, which suggests that maybe it really shipped with Snow Leopard. However, in user manual on support.apple.com for this model it talks about Lion.
I'm going to call Apple back about this but shouldn't they know based on my serial number which OS shipped with the computer?

I can't find very much on this, but I am wondering how likely it is that Autodesk Maya 2010 (or other future releases) will be much more advanced on Snow Leopard. For example, finally having a 64-bit version for Mac. It would seem quite sad that for such an advanced program as Maya, for it to be limited only to a non-advanced OS as Windows. I've heard that it is possible, and that once Maya is available for Mac in 64-bit, it will be far superior to that of 64-bit Windows.

I recently bought a Macbook Pro to use for school. I had asked around the web and people said a Mac Pro would run Autodesk Maya fine. Then I did some more research and found out that Maya 2010 and 2009 run oddly on any computer with Snow Leopard but they run fine on Leopard. I went to the Autodesk website and they said they are currently working on coding it correctly for Snow Leopard. Why they just decided now is a mystery. My question is, should I wait to hear news about Maya 2010 being qualified to run on SL or can I just buy it now and install it? when they fix the problem can I just update Maya online and it will be fine? I don't need Maya RIGHT now but I would like to have it eventually.
And if there is anyone out there who has Maya 2010 or 09 and it runs fine on SL please let me know. Also, I heard people just downgrade to Leopard if they upgraded to SL but the Mac Pro I have had SL installed on it so I don't have Leopard software. Is there a way for me to downgrade to Leopard? Like can I torrent it or call the Apple Store and ask them to help?

I am salivating over the 11" 1.6, 4GB MBA. Today I finally decided to get it from MacMall, but to my surprise I have to pay $125 sales tax, even though they are in California. Called customer service and was told that there is a new rule for online orders shipped to NY state that they all will have sales tax added regardless of the shippers location. Does anyone know a mailorder store selling the MBA without charging sales tax when sending to NY?

I'm about to order Snow Leopard, but I saw that little disclaimer as I was filling out my shipping address. I've had packages delivered from Amazon to my mailbox before, from UPS, USPS, and FedEx Ground. Should I go ahead and have Snow Leopard shipped to my box?

I bought a new MacBook Pro, which has Lion. My old MacBook Pro has Snow Leopard. Last night I used migration assistant to move everything from my old computer to my new computer. My instincts told me not to do it, because my old computer is 6 yrs old and has so much stuff on it. I was thinking it might be better to just go on an as needed basis, however, there is so much I need, I decided to do it.
Problem one, CS5 will not work. Maybe I need to do a clean install?
Are there any other issues I should be aware of? I see I need to re-enter my license info for Word ...
Have I messed up my new machine? Should I start over and wipe the new one clean and use another method?

Mac Book Pro 1.1 Core Due 1.87 GHz, 2GB RAM, with 128 Mb ATI Radeon X600 Graphics but no OS, have unfortunately lost all my original discs and the local Mac support does not stock any Tiger or Leopard installs. I have a newer MacBook pro Dual Core which is running Lion, a Mac Pro Quad Core Intel and I have a valid Lion Installation image from app store but it puts the older Macbook into kernel panic when I try to boot from that installation. i can only boot from my Macpro installation but it tells me of course that it cannot be installed.
Because of its FW 400 port I cannot TDM it directly to my newer macs and instead have to daisy chain it through an old G4 and even then a Lion installation started from the other macs through TDM results in kernel panic and a snow leopard image fails to start under lion anyway. I'm guessing it has to do with the installation versions and graphics card support but I'm not sure. Short of getting a valid Tiger Disc or Snow Leopard factory installation disc which don't seem to be available anywhere I really don't know what to do because it responds to nothing but original discs.

does the new MacMini ship with a DVI adapter or not? When you spec it out, the text by the adapter suggests it doesn't come with one already, but then when you get out of the store and go to specs, it says an adapter comes with. What's the deal?

My time machine was working perfectly with Snow Lepoard and prior to my upgrade to Lion I turned off the time machine located on an external drive.
After my successful upgrade to Lion including all my files and applications I wanted to use the Snow Leopard backup but it was no longer showing in time machine at all.
Is my Snow Leopard backup gone forever? I would like to have it back.
