OS X Mavericks :: Snow Leopard - Nothing Happens After Reboot?
Jun 2, 2014
I am trying to update my MBP running Snow Leopard to Mavericks. I have downloaded the Mavericks setup app from the Mac Store, ran it. I have pressed install for my Mac HDD and it says "Your computer will restart". So I let the Mac restart which it does, but then nothing has changed. I just see the my Snow Leopard desktop with no messages or errors.Â
If I run the Mavericks setup again it does exactly the same thing. It seems whatever is supposed to trigger after reboot to continue setup isnt running.Â

Macbook 2.4Ghz with Leopard 10.5.8, 320Gb drive (2 partitions)
Doing the standard upgrade install so I shove the SL disc in and run the installer, after an age it eventually reboots.
Then after another long wait the installer finally appears but when it asks to choose the drive to install to, my drive doesn't appear.
From the utilities menu, I can access disk utility and it only shows the DVD drive.
If I access system profiler my hard disk is still there in the SATA section.
Seems like I'm going to have format and do a clean install unless anyone has any ideas?

I made a clean install of Snow Leopard and now I'm slowly installing all my apps. I had Undercover running on Leopard and I installed it again. After the reboot, a pop up asked my the same question as an iPhone asks"uc" would like to use your current location.

I searched the forum, but saw a lot of sleep issues. None quite like mine. I have a MBP 13" bought in June. When I close the lid, it goes to sleep just fine. When I open it, I can hear it start up. The sleep light becomes illuminated, but then about 5 seconds later goes back to sleep.I have tried to hold the power button and shut the computer down, and start it back up. When it starts up, it shows the white screen with the apple logo, then goes blue, and is about to load the log-on screen, and goes back to sleep. I have already tried an archive and install, and a erase and install. Neither worked.Occassionally it will start back up if I just wait 20-30 minutes. Sorry about the long log, but I do not know what information is needed. I tried to wake from sleep around 1:27 in the logs, and it actually let me boot up and log on around 1:53. To give you an idea of what I was doing to cause these
logs.

I have a snowleopard macbook pro and earlier I did what shouldn't be allowed a user to do. I modified the computer's permissions to read-only or write only. After I did that nothing opened. Apps or folders or files. So I reboot and It won't reboot either. The same thing happened to me about 2 years ago and I found a pretty much straightforward solution. Pressing command- or alt-something while booting and then just fixing the thing. I have tried to find a solution like that again on google and in here and mostly what I've found are solutions that involve re-installing the whole OS.

I have installed my hard drive from a previous but terminally I'll iMac that was running Snow Leopard into a Sata to USBÂ enclosure. This is displaying on the desktop of my new iMac running Lion as an external Hard drive,also system preferences sees it as a start up source.My question is , is it safe to restart into Snow leopard without causing a kernel panic and if it does boot will it be fast enough to use as it as a USB drive.

I have found my installation of Mavericks losing some preferences after reboot. So far, I have noticed that my entire printer list will go missing and that balance from a previous ban accountreconciliation in Quickbooks will go missing, as well.Â
I have been able to recover the printers by attempting to add a new IP printer. The process will hang at some point. I'll quit all applications and reboot, after which my printer list will have miraculously returned.Â
With Quickbooks, I managed to have the previously reconciled balance reappear after running several previous reconciliation reports.Â
Based on reading around the forum here, it appears that corrupted preference caches may be to blame, but it is not clear to me how one goes about fixing this problem -- or which caches in the library folder it is safe to delete. Â

I need to install OS X 10.6 on my new MacBook (10.8.2) because older programs won't work on my new machines. I've successfully created a new partition. However when I hold down option button on startup I only see original partition and Recovery-10.8.2 but not the new partition. How on earth does one install an older version of OS X on a new machine.

I edit the view options for the Applications window. I make the icons bigger, and I put a photo in the background. The window looks fine until I do a reboot (I don't know about logging out - I only have one user). Then when I open the Applications window I find it has reset to smaller icons on a white background. Doesn't matter what I do when I edit the options. It always looks the same after I restart. I can't say for certain, but I think this problem has been going on since before Mavericks. I thought the cause might be a 3rd party app but I just bought a brand new iMac and the same thing happens.Â

Problem is pretty much summarized in the topic line. Had a distnoted process that was eating up all my CPU. Killed it in Activity Monitor, and the computer hung. Forced a restart, and it won't...restart. Tried a safe reboot, resetting the NRAM...no joy. Â

It has been around 2 months since my Mac Mini started doing this.
I'm on OSX 10.9.2 and there is an update to 10.9.3 to be done.
When I try to update, it instantly jumps to this grey screen and reboot.
And shown and error log window.

In order to solve another problem, I was asked to reboot in safe mode. After rebooting in normal mode, Safari now quits immediately after it starts.
I get a report that reads:Â
Exception Type:Â EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x000000010a842f9cÂ
What should I do to be able to use Safari again?

After upgrade to Mavericks 10.9.3 from Snow Leopard my Python3.3 scripts, called through a shellscript, fail. They work fine when called from Python 3.3 in Terminal. The issue appears to be the path. Currently Python 3.3 is located in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3, whereas all the other installations are in /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/..., and include v2.3, v2.5, v2.6 & v2.7, plus a "Current" folder alias. I read somewhere that simply adding the new path was not advisable. If that is true, what's the best way to include other version.

Will my apps and stuff and things I've downloaded disappear when I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mavericks? I am afraid everything will go away Do I need a USB to put my stuff in and then put it back when Mavericks has been applied? Because i'm downloading Mavericks right now and my iMac is so old it doesn't support half the stuff the new ones do. It was made in early 2009. And also, if it will stay, would it go away if I entered a different apple ID when it will reboot and say "Enter APPLE ID"

I would like to migrate my computer data from my current Macbook (late 2007) running Snow Leopard to a slightly newer Macbook (mid 2009) running Mavericks. While doing this I will need to implant the wiped hard drive from my current Macbook (late 2007) into the target Macbook (mid 2009) in order to have enough hard disk space for my personal data. I will then conceivably need to install OS X Snow Leopard onto the disk, since my personal data is from Snow Leopard. While I have all of the personal data from my current Macbook (late 2007) backed up on time machine, I do not have an OS X Snow Leopard CD-ROM which I imagine to be required when trying to re-image a disk from a Snow Leopard time machine backup.
So, my questions are, first, will the target Mac (mid 2009) previously running mavericks accept a wiped hard drive that was previously running Snow Leopard; second, will the additional hardware of the target Mac (ram, graphics, CPU, etc.) be in the correct software condition (regarding drivers, boot data, cache, etc.) to accept personal data from Snow Leopard; and third, can I re-image the disk implanted in the target Macbook from a Time Machine backup?Â

I have googled for the past couple of hours but can't find exactly what I am after. I have a macbook and I have leopard os x 10.5.2. I don't remember the last time I did a os x update (or if I ever have). But I was getting updates to download the newer version of itunes and safari (I was having trouble accessing some sites, and itunes won't let me visit the store because of safari or something.) So I've run the system update and it says it is going to install 10.5.8, and the new version of itunes. It downloads fine and then asks me to restart. I click restart and the computer goes to the reboot type screen and a box pops up saying "Software update" and underneath it says 'Configuring Installation'. The little blue bar loads a smidge and then it sits in the one spot and doesn't move at all. I have tried this in the past and I had left the laptop for hours and came back and it hadn't moved at all. So I force quit to get back into my computer. Now I have no idea what to do? Do I download 10.5.8 directly from the apple website? Or do I have to download 10.5.3, then 10.5.4 etc.

I have a 17" iMac G4 that I was rung Tiger with, then I installed Leopard 10.5. I use this as a second computer. All is fine except that my Epson scanner does not work with 10.5. I've tried the latest drivers. I'd like to reinstall Tiger. I used the 10.5 disc to reformat the drive and start from square one. When I boot from my original Tiger disc it starts opening it's windows, but when I get to the point where I can choose Install or use Disk Utility to reformat from the Tiger disc, all windows freeze and I need to hard reboot from the power switch. Am I correct to assume that 10.5 won't let 10.4 to reinstall. Is this correct?

... 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.
