MacBook :: Snow Leopard Not Installing
Aug 31, 2009My 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...

Aug 28, 2009It just hangs at the spinning pinwheel. I shut the machine off and booted it into Verbose-mode (Command-V) and it stops at "Initializing Power Manager" or something very early on. I pulled the battery and unplugged the machine, am letting it cool off (not that there's a point) -- it's one of the original MacBooks that had that "shutoff" problem with the wire that'd melt and short to the heatsink but mine never had the issue because I wasn't using it very often at the time. Any ideas? The drive does show up when I hold down Option.

Aug 30, 2009My MacBook Pro will not go to sleep after installing Snow Leopard. It WILL go to sleep if I close the lid; however, if I have it sit open for 15 minutes, it won't go to sleep. It attempts to sleep, but instead the screen will just go black for less than a second. It's just like a flash of black, and then the screen goes back to normal. It simply won't sleep.

Sep 4, 2009i got my first Mac today and it didn't come with snow leopard installed but it did come with a snow leopard disc. the problem is whenever i try to upgrade, i insert the disc, it stay's in for about 30 seconds making weird noises, and then it spits the disc back out. i'm very new to mac, today is my first time ever using one so i really don't know what to do so i came here. i have a 13 inch MacBook Pro running on OS 10.5.8. also, i installed iWork perfectly fine so i'm guessing it has to do with the disc.

Apr 19, 2010I'm trying to install OS X on an Intel X25-M SSD. I'm at the point where it asks to select the disk where you want to install Mac OS X but no disks are showing as available. I can see that the computer recognizes the Intel SSD in Disk Utility but it says it's not formatted. Is that the issue?

MacBook Pro :: Installing Snow Leopard Without DVDs?
Dec 1, 2014I want to install a SSD into my MacBook Pro (mid-2010). So, after I install the new SSD, I need to reinstall my OS (Snow Leopard). But the internal DVD player is broken. I have an external DVD player, but I am afraid the Mac will not recognize it because when I plug the external DVD player to the mac with USB cable, there will be no operating system on the mac. Am I just worried too much? Can I just install OS x from an external DVD player?

OS X :: Installing Snow Leopard On Macbook With Broken Display
Sep 1, 2009Alright first of all, Hello to you all, I've been reading this forum for a couple of month even though this is my first intervention and i need a tip. Alright my situation is the following: I have:
-Macbook Pro Unibody
-Macbook C2D
-Snow leopard Disc x2
-Snow leopard image I cloned to a hard drive partition.
The situation is I have bought two licenses for Snow leopard because i have two macs. The macbook pro is the computer i use everyday and is fully functional. The macbook however took a big drop about a year ago and the display was totally broke along with the DVD and the hard drive. I retrieved an old HDD i had with leopard installed and put it in the macbook along with an external display and i now use this computer as a media center. The problem is i want to install snow leopard on it. The DVD drive is broken hence the reason i made a disc image and i wanted to install from the disc image. SO i restart the macbook with the alt key and as expected, the image from the usb drive is detected and i launch the install. The problem comes from the fact that when the installation starts, the external display is set as secondary display and i cant control the installation which is displayed wont eh broken display. Is there a way to remotely install SL or to set the external display as only display at boot through holding a bunch of keys?
MacBook Air :: Installing Snow Leopard With Remote Install?
Apr 21, 2010I would like to install Snow Leopard on my Macbook Air Rev A as I have work to do that requires 10.6.x - however I didn't buy the Superdrive so need to do this as a remote install.
I have a PC with a DVD drive and can install the software; I also have the USB ethernet dongle and assume this will be better to use than over Wifi
Has anyone got any hints about doing this? I'm slightly nervous about installing an OS upgrade over a network for some reason..
MacBook :: Installing Snow Leopard From DVD - Cannot Boot From Disk
May 24, 2012My hard drive recently crashed. I just bought a new one and installed it myself. Now it's simply a matter of reinstalling the operating system, which is where I'm having trouble. I insert the Snow Leopard Install DVD into the drive. I power on the computer and hold 'C' (I've tried Option too) to boot from the disc, but it doesn't work. It spits out the disc after a few seconds, whether I hold 'C' or not, and then it gives me a folder icon with a question mark in it in the center of the screen, the same thing it showed when my hard drive first crashed.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMacBook Pro :: After Installing New Snow Leopard OS Did Not Have Bluetooth Option Under My System Preferences
Aug 29, 2009I recently discovered after installing the new Snow Leopard OS that I did not have a bluetooth option under my system preferences. I own a mid 2008 Macbook Pro (pre-unibody, more info below) and I know that I've used it before. I recently took my computer in to be repaired by Apple because the keyboard and trackpad were inconsistently responsive, and to fix it they simply replaced the entire top panel (with the keyboard and trackpad). I have also checked under the system profiler and it says that there is no information available for my bluetooth...what exactly does this mean? Did they forget to reinstall it? or what?

Sep 12, 2009"it is possible to completely erase a hard drive and install Snow Leopard without a pre-existing operating system in place, enabling users to bypass the possible headaches of an upgrade and go with a clean install instead. Wired said many users upgrading from Tiger should probably consider backing up their files from Tiger and doing a clean install instead."
I don't have an external harddrive. What other backup options do I have?

OS X :: Installing Snow Leopard On New HDD
Jul 31, 2010Well 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?

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Installing X11 For It?
Jul 1, 2012Some 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.

OS X :: Installing Panther To Snow Leopard
Oct 29, 2009After 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.

OS X :: Can't Reinstall Osx (nonsnow) After Installing Snow / What To Do?
Jun 13, 2009I wanted to test out the SnowLeopard, but as i know, its not ready for use as main os use.
I burned the snowleopard onto a dvd, installed it "live" in the os, and works.
But when i take the installation disc's that i got whit my Mb Air in the cd tray (external superdrive) i get one option, and thats to hit restart and boot up from cd to install, but when it boots up again and the chime and gray apple logo screen shows up, the cd is spinning up but after 1min its restarting again. This it goes forever.
What should i do?
I have tried different install disc's, and the computer is a MacBookAir.
And Apple Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard (Build 10A380) are installed...
