I'm finally upgrading my Intel imac from Tiger. I found a new retail copy for $28 on Amazon. How many macs can I install with a regular copy? For about $50, I can get a server copy of SL, on ebay. I know it has a lot more features than I can, or will use, but will it run as a regular version? I know there will be no support from these vendors,but if I pay a little more at the Apple store, will I get free support fro Apple, if I have any problems with the install.
I will need the full install, because my oem Tiger DVD doesn't work anymore. Will I have any problems networking with my ibook running Tiger? I like to use my ibook to listen to the itunes from my imac, over wifi. The ibook has itunes version nine.1.
I am a new mac user. I bought a macbook pro a couple months ago and it is giving me trouble. Sometime it just FREEZES and nothing respond. Just the mouse cursor but nothing else, not even the apple logo to shut the laptop down. That happens when i using very simple applications, like Firefox, Office 2008, etc. I have to use the power bottom to restart the laptop again. That worries me because it does not happen to my since old times when I had my first PC with Windows 98. It did not happen to me neither on XP nor Vista.
I've been having many issues with routers working with my new (to me) macbook running Snow Lepord so I bought a new Snow Airport base station off of ebay due to a college students budget... It works great however I need to put a password on it and the configuring tool available from apple which is supposed to work with all of the newer versions of osX doesn't work with snow lepord. I do have a windows vista computer but can't get the configuring utility (4.1/4.2 IIRC) to recognize my router.
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.
"Photoshop CS" and "Acrobat 6.0 Standard" suddenly stopped working in my iMac, apparently after I upgraded it to MacOS 10.6.8 (the latest version of Snow Leopard). Both programs had worked normally until that OS upgrade. I deleted Photoshop CS and tried to re-install it from the original CD, but the installation never proceeds because I get an error message entitled: "Install Adobe Photoshop CS quit unexpectedly". This is the full error message:Â

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 have my drive partitioned between Tiger and Snow Leopard. I am trying to move myself over to Snow Leopard so I don't have to keep switching. The problem is that my old apps that alledgedly will work in SL, give me an error box when I launch them. It happens with Appleworks 6 and Quicken 2007. I've installed Rosetta but don't know what else to do.When I launch either application, it says it unexpectedly quit and gives this info:Â Process: [code]
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.
... 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.
Question: I already have snow leopard installed on my iMac. But can I still do a CLEAN snow leopard installation onto my imac even though snow leopard is already installed?
I tried it just now like twice but I got the spinning wheel of death. It wouldn't go pass the apple sign and spinning wheel.
I've been using Leopard since 2008 and everything has worked well. Now that I have to have at least Snow Leopard to run some apps, I'd like to upgrade to Snow Leopard. Are there any pitfalls I should be aware of? I'm assuming I will still be able to run all my apps and access my files.
With Apple's plan to release Leopard, iLife '09, and iWork '09 as a box set for a price of $169, does anyone think they would do the same with Snow Leopard? If so I would buy it instantly. It makes sense that they would...
I am trying to install G95 on my macbook to run fortran. Its turning out to be a nightmare so far. I have downloaded the binary from the website (for x86 OSX), but from then on, installing it seems difficult.
If I try the command they mention on the manual, it says that I do not have permission to access the usr/bin directory. Then if I try to sudo the commands, it says that the directory urs/bin/g95 is not there. I used sudo to create one and everything seemed to work - except, it does not recognise the g95 command! I even tried to install it in usr/local/bin using the same procedure.
Background: I have a MacBook White (13-inch, Mid 2009) that isn't unibody, and was running Leopard 10.5. I am the only one that will use the Mac and my user account is as the 'admin'. When I was using 10.5, I could open the 'X11.app'. But few days ago, I did a clean installation of 10.6.2 Snow Leopard from the USD$29 disc. After that I installed the iLife '09 (the gray disc bundled with the MacBook),and I cloned the drive to my ext. FireWire HD immediately after the installation of SL and iLife'09 by using the CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner). After that, of course, I was going to install the apps I need, and update the software. But the problem appears: When I try to open the 'X11.app', the X11 icon begins jumping on the Dock, but nothing happens. Jumping and jumping... finally, it doesn't jump any more, with just the X11 icon on the dock. What's more, there is no white dot under the icon, which means the app isn't running at the moment. I right-clicked the icon, it shows me 'application not responding'...........
I have a Macbook 2,1 with Intel core 2 duo, currently running 10.4.11. So I've got an upgrade 'Box Set' from apple to get me up to Snow Leopard. It clearly says on the side of the box that I need 3GB of RAM and 12GB of free HD space and sure enough, when I try to install the software it tells me I don't have enough RAM (as this Macbook only has 2 GB I believe). And yet, in the instructions it says I only need 1GB of RAM and 5GB of free HD space - this I have, but why isn't the disk installing!
i am trying to set up a chronosync between my laptop and desktop and i am being told by the good folks at chronosync that i am having an issue because i have an SMB connection and not an AFP connection.they have provided pretty specific instructions on how to change this but i am feeling like a caveman trying to do this. i /attempted/ to disconnect my macpro and my time capsule from the left pane under "shared" but this did not seem to work so i simply turned off the wifi. then i deleted my network passes in the login section of keychain and am in the Connect To Server section but all i am seeing is a "Favorite Servers" listed as "SMB://MyHomeFolderNameOnMyMacPro.my understanding is that i am supposed to find an AFP connection.so now i am looking in the little gear icon for recent servers (there is one named "Mirch's Computer" in there which seems odd...) anyway can i CLEAR these recent servers and ADD my MacPro as AFP.
So, to all of you using Snow Leopard, especially those with a UMBP - can you post the following : Go to Activity Monitor and post the number listed below the pie chart. Here, in Leopard the number is 2.0GB but SL shows 1.75GB, and the "wired RAM" usage increases by 256MB.
Apparently Adobe have not officially tested CS3 with Snow Leopard although unofficially they have and acknowledge some problems. They do not acknowledge (officially) the crashes experienced by David Pogue of the New York Times (but claim to be working with him per the John Nash blog at Adobe). I paid over $600 for PS CS3 a little less than 2 years ago. I think that's a premium that deserves support and not be railroaded into a $200 upgrade to a version of PS CSn that I don't need. Anyone else use Photoshop CS3 and not want to be forced into CS4 by Adobe?
Snow Leopard seems to have an endless number of tiny tweaks up its sleeve, and here are a few more morsels. In Expos�, when your mouse pointer is over a window thumbnail, press the Space bar to expand it (press again to return it to its minimized size). This will interest only programmers, but Quick Look now applies syntax highlighting for source code files in at least some programming languages. If the Trash contains locked files, emptying the Trash displays a new dialog that gives you the option to delete all the unlocked files, rather than repeat the action with the Option key held down to delete everything. In the Icon view in a Finder window, if any filenames overlap, the names in the background turn gray. It's a nice tweak to avoid the solid block of black that happens when lots of items are stacked on top of each other.
As the previous segment detailed, Windows 7 and Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard aren't competing directly; instead, each is part of competitive strategy to either grow the Mac user base at Microsoft's expense, as Apple has been doing, or in Microsoft's case, to stop the hemorrhaging market share losses and reclaim leadership of desktop operating system development. How big is Windows 7? Microsoft's goal with Windows 7 is to lift Vista's derailed train and put it back on the tracks. Windows 7 itself is internally called Windows 6.1, essentially Vista Service Pack 2 (Microsoft is also preparing a scaled down Vista SP2 for delivery shortly before Windows 7 is released). Microsoft's executives have made no secret of the fact that Windows 7 is an incremental improvement to Windows Vista, with CEO Steve Ballmer calling it "Windows Vista, a lot better," and saying, "Windows 7 is Windows Vista with cleanup in user interface [and] improvements in performance." Mike Nash, Microsoft's vice president of Windows product management, called Windows 7 "evolutionary" but also a "significant" improvement upon Vista. The company has oscillated between describing it as either a major or minor release, depending on who the intended audience was. In October, Computerworld wrote that at the release of Vista, the company's roadmap suggested a series of alternating releases between major new operating system developments (like Vista) every four years, and minor updates in between.
The new Nvidia Chipsets used in the current crop of Macbooks can Use up to 8Gb Of Ram however apple claim to only support 4GB. People have put 8Gb into the new macbook Pro only to find the OS is unstable and unable to address the full 8Gb, 6Gb however works ok. I am guessing the limitation is the OS. Support for 32-bit apps and parts of the OS that are there for older hardware. Can any of you wiz kids shed some light on 10.6 for me will it support the full 8Gb of RAM?
In Snow Leopard Quickeys hangs at intervals and Spell Catcher only works on and off. My AES decryption software which was in services is no longer there and I can see no way of putting it back. This is a very disappointing. I have gone back to Leopard
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.
