My friend wants Exchange support on mail but is on Leopard. I don't completely feel comfortable installing Snow Leopard on their machine because they don't have a backup, so I was wondering for my peace of mind before tomorrow if anybody had any experience with installing Mail from the Snow Leopard install disc onto Leopard.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy hard drive died and was replaced a week or so a go. The technician in the iSpot store (the substitute for Apple Stores in Warsaw, Poland) installed Snow Leapord and apparently did not install iLife. After I restored using Migration Assistant from my Time Machine, the iLife programs and Mail would not load.
I took it back and the tech reinstalled reinstalled OS 10.6 and iLife'09. I restored again from Time Machine the the iLife programs then would load and work fine, but Mail is still bombing. Here is what it says in relevant part in the window that appears after clicking on Mail in the dock.
I have tried to reinstall iLife'09 and still get this message.
Does anyone have suggestions for what to do? How do I get it to find the "suitable image"?
I have a Snow Leopard Install Disk for the 13-inch Macbook Pro model.I also have a 21-inch iMac. I have OS X Lion installed on both. I have Snow Leopard installed as a partition on my Macbook Pro, which I installed via the install disk. I want to do the same thing for my iMac but I am unable due to (seemingly) my install disk is for a Macbook Pro and not for an iMac.

Today I performed a clean install of Snow Leopard on my late 2009 Mac Mini. After completing the installation, I began running software update to bring everything up-to-date.While software update did find and install a number of updates (10.6.8v1.1 Combo update, Security Update 2012-002, Apple Software Installer Update, iLife Support 9.0.4, Remote Desktop Client Update 3.5.3, Airport Utility, Java, Safari) it did not find an update for iTunes (which starts at version 9.x, I believe, in a SL clean install).I assumed that this was some sort of random glitch and manually downloaded and installed iTunes 10.6.3.After that, I re-installed iLife '11 (from a retail DVD, not the App Store).When I ran Software Update again, it found updates for Garage Band, iDVD, and iWeb, but it did not show the updates for iPhoto and iMovie.I found this to be unnerving, as I performed a clean install when I first obtained this Mini a few months ago and didn't experience any of these problems - all of my Apple software updated automatically through Software Update without a hitch.
I began researching this problem online and found that other people have been experiencing this same problem (or some variation of it), and it seems like it began appearing around the time Apple updated some of its security certificates in March.In particular, I've found several references to the missing iPhoto update.This one is especially noticeable because an iPhoto library created in iPhoto 9.2.3 will not open in iPhoto 9.0, and this generates an error upon opening the program (i.e., a user backs up their iPhoto library created in 9.2.3, performs a SL clean install, reinstalls iLife, goes through the Software Update process until it shows that no more updates are available, and are shocked to find that they are unable to open their backed up iPhoto library because they have an out of date version of iPhoto).The most common (and admittedly logical) solution proposed in the threads I've read is to download any necessary updates directly from the Apple website. However, I am curious as to why this previously functional feature now appears to be broken.Has anyone else been struggling with this? Does it indeed have something to do with the new security certificates? Is Apple aware of the problem?

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?

I'm trying to buy a new refurbish that will ship with Snow Leopard. I'm mainly buying it for the HD, RAM, and physical upgrades.
I have Final Cut Studio and Photoshop and I don't want to pay the $299 upgrade and rather stick with leopard on the new machine.
Is there any way I can uninstall Snow Leopard and install Leopard on the new mac so that I can continue to use my software?
I need to know before I purchase the new one ASAP so i can sell my older machine.
iMac with 2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, plenty of space available and currently operating 10.5.8. Now I want to upgrade to Snow Leopard and since my Mac Mini came with it, I attempted to use the OSX install disc from the Mini in the iMac. I don't see a reason why this shouldn't work. There's no DRM or anything as far as I know. I'm just trying to bridge the gap so I can download Lion. I've looked into some of the advice others have given on this subject but my computer doesn't have those issues. I've tried booting from disc but I get the same message.

on the release of Leopard i bought it from the Apple store for my macBook (intel) and when i got it home put in the disc it popped up i clicked restart and the Apple logo loaded and then got the spinning wheel, left it nearly 6 hours to my return it was exactly the same, i did this 5 or 6 times and it happened everytime i tried. I thought it was my disc drive so got a firewire DVD RW and tried that but still nothing. I thought possibly the disc and the Mac read all DVDs, VDs Photoshop, iLife Office discs and more.
i forgot about it and carried on with Tiger, then i bought the Snow leopard upgrade and guess what - It does exactly the same! Why can't i install them when my CD drive is working?
Mac is out of warrenty im sure of it (not sure how to check) so don't want to get stung by Apple prices?
This is the first time i reinstalled(clean install) my snow leopard on my MBP. All went fine but then i inserted the disc for bundled application (which contains the ilife apps) but it keeps failing.Â
It says that "the installation failed. the installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. contact the software manufacturer for assistance".Â
I've also done my research on this matter. I've gone thru a few steps i tried as below without success:Â
1)normal install - fail
2)repair permission - fail
3)install in safe mode - fail
4) install using another admin acc - fail
5) made an image out of the disc and install - fail
6) used a similar disc(my dad's since we have identical version) - fai
7)updated my system and install - fail
8) reinstall the mac - failÂ
i cant think of any other solution as im a bit noob when it comes to mac. is there any other things i could try before taking it Apple?

The internal hard drive on my early 2009 iMac is being replaced but I have to reinstall Snow Leopard myself.I did search in MRoogle and at Apple and cannot seem to find instructions on how to perform a clean Snow Leopard install on an iMac internal HD.
Can I do this? And if so how? Or do you think I should try and install Leopard on the existing Hd in the iMac? I still have these discs but have to get the SL applications install disc out of my drive (it's stuck and the iMac won't boot past the blue screen).
I jsut did a fresh install. wanted to use my SL DVD but the MBP i5 refused to star with it so I used the original DVD (10.5) and upgraded with the SL DVD to 10.6. However after the initial SL Installation, it tried from the SL DVD and this failed. I did a manual restart, starting from the HD and everything ran fine. however today I note there is a locked file on the HD named Mac OS X Install Data. It contains 181 .pkg files.Now I suppose this should have been moved or deleted as part of the install process. Can I move them to a file where they belong?Â

Did a search through here but couldn't find anything concrete. What are the differences between a fresh Snow Leopard install and a factory Snow Leopard install? I ask because I bought an Intel SSD and don't know if I should bother cloning the hard drive that will come with my new 15" MBP or I should just install a fresh copy from a Snow Leopard install disc. I'm aware macs come with next to no junk pre-installed, but are there some factory settings that are worth preserving if they aren't documented well?

The reason for this is a long story. My logic board was replaced and my Mac was wiped clean. I am not trying to recover from back up but could not figure out the next step after the recovery finished. So I tried to install OSX from the disk that came with my Mac. Probably not the right corrective action. Â
I need to remove the Snow Leopard DVD and finish my recovery.

In Mail, is there a way to print the list of mail activity in a folder without actually printing each email?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a rule that copies an email to the ON MY MAC and then another that MOVES TO A FOLDER in Mobileme. They are in this order. The problem is when I quit Mail the Folder I am copying to is changed to the Mobileme folder so I end up with a duplicate. It doesn't change until Mail is quit. The other odd part, there one arragement like this that did savef at some point and works as expected.Â
I have tried having both of these rules combined into 1 and have the same results.

One IMAP account is intermittently losing all mail in inbox except for one message. After doing opening program the receive wheel spins for a long time, but at this point there are only 170 emails in the inbox because we moved all the rest to the on my mac inbox to try to solve this porblem. There are two accounts, both from the same provider, but one of them takes a long time to receive new mail.  The wheel spins for a long time - each time it gets mail.Â
Several times after finishing receive cycle, all the mail that was in the inbox disappears, except for one. I was able to get the emails to retrn by going into settings>accounts> and changing a random setting and then changing it back the way it was. All settings appear to be correct and match the other other account that is working correctly.Â

I know better than to buy a new operating system the first week it is introduced, but it sounded so good.
After inserting disc and starting install in my Macbook pro, it seemed to be installing but restarted the computer in about 20 minutes. WOW, fast install I thought to myself. Tried to use new features but realized I still had 10.5.8. Tried to install it again same result. Called apple tech. and they had me doing all kinds of things but determined it was a bad disc. They are sending out a new one ( Apple tech is the best ), I asked if anyone else had experienced the problem and was told YES. I only hope the next one works. I am now reading reports of HP printer problems. I hope the next disc they send will install and not have the printer problems.
I tried to install Snow Leopard and at some point the installation reported an error. After several tries It says my HD needs Registry Activation in order to continue.
I go to Disk Utility and the volume apears, I try to verify and reports error. Then to Repair and error again.
I think I need to Activate Registry, but i can't through the Disk Utility, and via Console can't find the right code.
It's formated Mac Os Plus, and says there're no activated propietaries.
I have lots of information and I'd like to g back and unrun the install process, but don't know how to proceed.
I have been using mac for a while, but now I face an issue I hope is solveable!
I played around with the menu bar, turned it black on white. Now after messing with the files, I get a -10810 error every time i boot. This happened from placing the original menu bar files back in place.
I am looking to do a fresh clean install of snow leopard. I have an external HD if needed an an external dvd drive. my dvd drive in my macbook is broken.
Can someone please tell me how I can install SL if I cannot get into Mac OS X at all?
I tried safeboot, wont launch, I have tried resetting over and over, it wont get me into mac os x because finder and all my apps have the -10810 error.
Tried to install it as an upgrade to Leopard. Installer starts, but after 7 minutes it ends and after I start Mac OS X again I'm still in 10.5.8. WTF ?
