I currently live abroad (Japan) and am really excited for 10.6 but just want to make sure buying the Snow Leopard disc here will still give me the English lang. version.I assume that Snow Leopard is the exact same disc all over the world, just with the default language set to the country it's being sold in?
View 3 RepliesWhen I first installed Snow Leopard, I selected Italy as region but with english language.As a result, under Language & Text in System Preferences, my region in the Formats was set to "Italy (English)", that is the italian format but with months and days names in english.I accidentally changed that setting and selected "Italy (Italian)" and now I see months and days names in italian but with system language set to english.I tried to restore the original setting, but there is no "Italy (English)" option under regions.I also tried to change in italian the system language and then change it back to english, but the days names are still in italian. Aside from defining a Custom format, is there a way to restore the "Italy (English)" original setting?

I have a around 45 OS X 10.4.11 clients in a school that I have recently installed iWorks 09 on and through this I have realised that the clients language is set to English (US) which is causing some issues in the spell checker. Â I don't fancy changing the language on all of them manually so I was wondering if it was possible to write a script in AppleScript that would do this for me..

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a 2007 Intel MBP, running Leopard. I purchased the family version of Snow Leopard. When I tried to install it, it just spins the disc for a minute, makes the noise like it's trying to read it and then spits it out. All other discs work fine with my MBP so I know it is not the disc drive itself. I have all software "up to date." My brother installed SL on both of his MBs, one newer than mine and one older, just fine (with the same disc). I haven't seen anything out there with this issue so I wanted to start a thread to see if anyone knows how to resolve this issue (beyond taking it back to Apple and exchanging).

I'm in Turkey visiting my wife's grandmother. We intend to leave her the PowerBook 1.67 but the OS is all in English as I didn't install other languages to save space. I also have the habit of running Monolingual to remove any trace of other languages. Of course I don't have the copy of 10.5 with me and OS X is unheard of in the small town we are in. Is there anyway to download the Turkish language extensions/localizations from somewhere.

View 7 Replies View RelatedNow that it's been out for awhile, I was curious what people's success rates have been with just getting the Snow Leopard disc and not the box set to upgrade Tiger? Or is it still recommended to get the Box Set? I honestly rarely use either the iLife or iWork suites, so that's why I was wondering.
View 5 Replies View RelatedSo I had an aluminum 2008 unibody macbook. I replaced the hard drive with a 320gb and it has leopard on it. I damaged it and had to get a new mac. I now have a white unibody mac. To copy every thing would be a pain. I'd rather use snow leopard. What I want to know is if I can use the reinstallation disc 10.6 that came with the white macbook to upgrade my 320gb leopard hdd to snow leopard?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI obviously didn't choose my words correctly because everyone would rather pick apart what I said and did rather than acknowledging that...Apple sent me a scratched Snow Leopard disc.These things do happen so make sure you always backup your data and always check the disc before you put it in your computer. Even if its from a company you love and trust.
View 24 Replies View RelatedJust a quick question; I just received a SL upgrade DVD for one of my Macs, in the post, and it had the disc number: "2Z691-6557-A". I was a bit surprised that the DVD just came in a simple paper sleeve, tossed into a padded envelope with 2nd class postage.Is this the experience of others?. Also, is this particular upgrade DVD (with the same disc number as mine) capable of erase and install?. I don't like doing upgrades, I'd rather start fresh.
View 11 Replies View Relatedwith my Leopard installation i have a problem where it fails to boot up likely due to a previous unexpected power cut.
From googling the issue it seems like the only solution anyone has had to the same problem is to re-install.
However I've lost my Leopard system discs.
I booted into my Bootcamp Windows installation and installed the latest drivers from the Snow Leopard disc which i recently purchased (and came today)
This gave me the option to read files (and presumably copy) from the mac partition but no delete function.
I have two problems here:
1. I only have 2.61GB free on the mac partition, Snow Leopard requires at least 5GB. Since I can't boot into OS X and Windows can't write to the partition i can't delete any files.
2. My mac won't boot the Snow Leopard DVD for installation. I hold C while booting and it has no effect. It does however run the Hardware test if i hold D while booting.
I have an external drive i could probaly make enough room on to back up my entire osx partition for a totally clean re-install.
However this requires some sort of access to the drive/write capabilities. Maybe something like bootable linux?
And any idea why my disc won't boot? (even if i had enough space for a install...that would be a bit pointless if i can't get the disc to boot)
I'm looking at buying a macbook. The seller does not have the administrator password or the original Leopard 10.5 discs. Will this cause a problem if I want to upgrade to Snow?
