MacBook Pro :: Anyone Have Trackpad Issues After Snow Leopard Upgrade

Sep 10, 2009

trackpad not working /I bought a new Macbook Pro 13 and a few weeks later upgraded to Snow Leopard the day it launched. It seems now like my trackpad gets "stuck". It will just randomly not scroll until I "click" on something, then it works again. Sometimes the dock won't pop up when I point down to it until I click something. Anyone else?

OS X :: Leopard Upgrade To Snow Leopard ... The Same As The Full Version Of Snow Leopard?

Jun 13, 2009

... long time reader, first time poster!! So I'm doing it. I'm switching from PC to Mac. I've been waiting for a while now and the new MacBook Pro's have convinced me. I'm buying the 13 inch this week.

However I'm slightly worried about the upgrade to Snow Leopard in September.

My question is if I buy a new MacBook Pro this week and upgrade from the current version of Leopard to Snow Leopard will it be the EXACT same as the version of Snow Leopard that ships with new MacBooks after September?

Is the upgrade just the same as the full software version available post September? Does the upgrade it just detect if you have the previous software and installs as if it were the full? Or does it just "patch" things depending on what's different from previous versions?

I can wait till after Snow Leopard is released in September 09 if it is different to Leopard upgraded to Snow Leopard.

MacBook :: Upgrade To SSD With Snow Leopard?

Jun 12, 2009

I've never updated an OS before, so this probably appears to be very noob-ish. I currently have a refurb 2.4 al macbook. I can't return it, so instead of whining and complaining (past that stage) I'm looking at it as thus: I'm one of very few people to have an aluminum macbook. I want to upgrade to a SSD when Snow Leopard is released in September. How do I make this happen? Is it as simple as swapping the hard drive and then booting from the SL install disks? Almost seems too easy. Also, do you guys think it's a good idea to swap the stock 250GB HDD for an SSD (120GB Vertex) and use the HDD as an external?

MacBook Pro :: Upgrade From 10.5.8 To Snow Leopard?

Mar 24, 2012

I just bought a used macbook pro and once I powered it up I just followed the steps to set it up, once done, the OS is 10.5.8. I want to upgrade it to Snow Leopard but what's the best way to do it? I already spent half a day setting many things up, and I don't want to start everything all over again, what's the best way to upgrade? I don't want to have SL on a different partition

MacBook Pro :: Upgrade To Snow Leopard?

May 16, 2012

MacBook Pro
Version 10.5.8
Processor: 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 

I'm currently running 10.5.8 and expect delivery of the Snow Leopard disc today. The end result being the upgrade to Lion, but...well, you know. My question is two-fold: 

1) Are there any "housekeeping" tasks I should do before proceeding with the initial upgrade to Snow Leopard? I've already run a backup and have important files copied on a flash drive. Is there anything I should clean-up, upgrade, etc first? 

2) Has anyone had any problems losing files/music/etc during these upgrades? I've had this MacBook Pro for about four years and haven't had any issues with it. Before that, I always had PCs with all kinds of problems, including losing just about everything during upgrades (which is why I've been hesitant to upgrade up to this point).

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: How To Upgrade MacBook Air To 10.7

May 19, 2012

My macbook air uses OS X 10.6.8 and Xcode 3.2.6. I want Xcode 4 but it requires OS 10.7. How can I upgrade OS from 10.6.8 to 10.7? I guess 10.7 is Lion not snow leopard. Is it free or need purchase? What is the newest version of Xcode which works under 10.6.8?

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Why Is There No Trackpad At Login

Mar 27, 2012

@ login the trackpad is disabled. Are there login keys to select the user?  Or a quick key to re-enable the T-pad. I have a feeling it has something to do with Universal Access, as reinstall dies @ "loading additional speech voices".

Applications :: Upgrade To Snow Leopard Or Install Snow Leopard?

Oct 4, 2010

I'm currently using a MBP 13 inch and am running Leopard on it.

I just bought a copy of snow leopard today but i don't know if I should do a direct upgrade from leopard to snow leopard, or wipe my MBP and do a fresh install so i have snow leopard on a clean slate.

Have any of you tried the second option before? Or do any of you have advice on which path I should take?

MacBook :: Snow Leopard Upgrade (USB Drive)

Sep 12, 2009

Well I just upgraded my computer to snow leopard, and I am very happy. It went very well, and was incredibly easy. I haven't run into one problem as of yet. No compatibly issues, no spotlight problems, nothing. I also heard of people complaining that snow leopard was very slow when they upgraded and didn't do a clean install, well for me, I noticed a speed increase over leopard, and I just simply did an upgrade. I am very pleased with this new OS. I think apple did a very good job refining leopard. I just thought id share this with people, so they don't always have to read the things going wrong with an upgrade over a clean install. Not sure if it matters, but I installed off of a usb drive.

MacBook :: Should I Upgrade To Snow Leopard From Tiger

May 22, 2010

I almost bought the upgrade disc today, however on further thought and reading around here, i've gathered that people seem to have A LOT of problems with macbooks in general. Since i bought my computer used and it doesn't have apple care, i'm thinking the age old saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Because i'd hate to upgrade then i start having wireless problems etc.

Is it worth the upgrade? I do a lot of digital audio oriented stuff and i'd really like to upgrade simply because some virtual instruments and plug in's only work with 10.5 or above.

MacBook Pro :: Unable To Upgrade OS X.5.8 To Snow Leopard

Mar 12, 2012

I have OS X.5.8; I bought OSX Snow Leopardabout two years ago, but never installed. I want to upgrade to Snow Leopard at long last (and maybe to Lion). But when I put the Snow Leopard disk in, I can hear my disk drive trying and trying, and then it just spits it out. I know disk drive works. & I bought the disk from an Apple store. Is the disk bad - or is it that my MacBook can't be upgraded to Snow Leopard?

MacBook :: No Sound Device After Snow Leopard Upgrade

Sep 13, 2010

I've upgraded my old MacBook (MacBook1,1/Early 2006) with a new SSD, 2GB RAM and a fresh installation of Snow Leopard (Retail). Everything runs much smoother now, except that there is no more sound (no sound device found). I don't think it's a hardware problem, since the startup sound (chime) still works perfectly. Everything worked fine with OS X 10.4. I tried a SMC and PRAM reset, but didn't help. Some results on Google said that I should try to stick in some headphones and that should do the trick, but it didn't.

MacBook :: Upgrade To Snow Leopard - Password Reset?

Sep 9, 2009

I took my laptop in to a shop to have a new hard drive installed and the guy in the shop upgraded me to Snow Leopard. I then tried to use migration assistant to get my files back off an external HD and it's telling me my password and/or user name is incorrect. Is it possible the guy in the shop changed it? Is there a generic password when you reinstall things? Or do I need to restart my Macbook using the old Leopard disk?

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Keyboard & Trackpad Preferences Keep Resetting

Mar 12, 2012

I've had my MacBook Pro for just over a year now and it's been awesome (it was my first Mac after being a PC user for 20 yrs). 

As soon as I got my Mac I modified the mouse & keyboard to act more like windows:modified the control key to work as commandenabled secondary (right) click on the track pad 

This worked fine for a long time, then all of a sudden in the last month or so these preferences keep being lost and I need to go back in and set them up again.

Have I 'unlocked' some setting that allows these preferences to keep resetting? Or is my mac suffering from windows-like OS issues?

MacBook Pro (17-inch Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.6.5)
