OS X :: Interwebz Stopped Working After Upgrading To Snow Leopard?
Sep 1, 2009I have quite the issue. I just upgraded to Snow Leopard (from Leopard) via USB install disk [thumb drive with Snow Leopard .dmg, Mac OS journaled formatted, GUID...] and everything seems to be working just fine EXCEPT...
My interwebz stopped working!
The airport seems to be working and recognizes the other networks in range, and says that it's connected. When I try to load a page, Safari continues to try and load but eventually says that the 'page can't be displayed'.
I've tried everything - Resetting router, switching browsers, renewing DHCP Lease, toggling airport,etc. It won't even work via ethernet cable from the router. I've read some other people that have had these issues but have not seen any fixes.
Running a Unibody Macbook Pro 2.8 GHz, 4GB RAM
I'd really appreciate any feedback you guys have. If you are having the same issue, please post here so we can collaboratively figure this out.
OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: IPhone USB Tethering Stop Working After IOS 5.1 Update
Mar 16, 2012USB Tethering stop working (while WiFi and Bluetooth tethering continue to be ok) on Mac 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard fully updated) after my iPhone device has been updated from iOS 5.0.1 to 5.1.The present issue is not related to the iPhone (Personal Hotspot ok, Carrier/APN settings ok). Moreover, USB layer seems to be ok on Mac also due to the fact that iTunes recognizes it correctly. Network Services on Mac are instead affected. Steps to Reproduce:1. Remove 'iPhone device' from Network Preferences;2. Connect iPhone via USB cable to the Mac;3. A new 'iPhone device' does not appears while the /var/log/kernel.log says:[DGMTP_Drv.cpp][probe()][00103][ERRO] Current vid (0x05ac) and expected vid (0x04e8) is not matched Other interesting information preceding the mentioned above error on kernel.log are:kxld[com.apple.driver.AppleUSBEthernetHost]: The super class vtable '__ZTV20IOEthernetController' for vtable '__ZTV20AppleUSBEthernetHost' is out of date.

Software :: Limewire Not Working After Upgrading To Leopard
May 18, 2009My macbook pro crashed and I upgraded to leopard at the genius bar. My limewire will not work now. I tried installing the java update both via my computer and the one that was posted up on this forum by Luke responding to KAtie but it won't let me install it with the os version I have. I can install the program but then the icon bounces and disappears. Any suggestions? I love limewire and am dying without it.

OS X :: Upgrading To Snow Leopard Without Backup On Mac
Dec 23, 2010So my friend got me Snow Leopard for Christmas and I want to upgrade my mac from Leopard to this but is there a way to upgrade without doing a clean install? Mainly because right now I have no external HDD. Only just two 2GB USB Drives which I already used to backup my pictures and documents. But if something goes wrong during the installation is there a way to go back to Leopard?

OS X :: Upgrading From G4 To Intel For Snow Leopard
Oct 28, 2009We are using Mac OS X Version 10.3.9 with a 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4 here and cannot upload the latest version of Safari, Skype, Quicktime 7, and are having difficulties with an airline booking website - probably because of the above. Would like to upgrade to Snow Leopard but this OS want us to have an Intel processor (think?) so not exactly sure if this is possibly because of the version of Mac processor we have.

Apr 2, 2012I could use a bit of help updating my macbook from 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard. I have 10.4.11 and i'm updating to 10.6, Snow Leopard. I've already checked basic requirements, backed up and i'm ready to install.I chatted with a apple specialist when I purchased the dvd for snow leopard and asked if it was what i needed to upgrade all three of my macs; 2 running 10.5.8 and one running 10.4.11. They said yes. I had no trouble updating the machines running 10.5.8.But the one running 10.4.11 isn't so easy. The trouble is the install DVD will not boot and just shuts down the hard drives (the machine says 'restartto begin install' but when i restart the dvd spits out on restart). Does anyone know how to get the disk to install? Mounting the disk didnt work either, it allows me to begin the installation but then the machine reboots.
I'd done some research previously and was told by Apple that i needed to get the Box Set in order to upgrade my machine running 10.4.11. However according to apple's support forums url... the Snow Leopard upgrade should work. I just don't know if there are special steps.

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Upgrading From Lion?
Jun 18, 2012I am using Snow Leopard but am trying to upgrade to Lion. I went to the App store, clicked on Buy Lion, put in apple id, confirmed my billing info and clicked on Done. Nothing happened but it went back to the OS Lion page and the little gear wheel at the top of the page has been spinning ever since, been at least 15 minutes now. Is it downloading or is the wheel just spinning and I am wasting my time? I knew it would take some time to download, but I does that spinning wheel mean that is taking place?

Applications :: Upgrading To Snow Leopard For ILife 11
Nov 10, 2010I have Leopard, the late edition of 09, or was it '08, in October? Anyhow, I am going tomorrow to upgrade to Snow Leopard mainly so that I can have iLife 11, but it is not compatible with Leopard. My question is this when I am installing the new stuff, do I need to go thru and delete anything at all??? Or do my things transfer over automatically? Also, will this new software, or is it hardware? will it take up more space on my Macbook or does it override Leopard, kind of take it's place and not take up more space on my computer? Yeah, I know, once again, lay(wo)man's terms and I know that I should know this stuff but I don't. I also do not have any external device backing up my stuff, which I know is a HUGE and COLOSSAL mistake. Is there an easy way to back stuff up, online or something? What about an inexpensive way? What do you all suggest for that, backing up, INEXPENSIVELY? Flash drives are out of the question for something of this measure, right? Discs also? I know nothing about this and I'm guessing that before I go installing Snow Leopard & iLife 11, that I need to consider this.

Aug 31, 2009I just got my snow leopard disc in the door and I threw in the disc, selected the Macintosh HD partition and started installing. I didn't get an option to select either an "upgrade" or fresh install. Could someone please tell me if it's upgrading leopard to snowleopard or is it just installing a clean version of SL? It's currently on a screen where there's 55min left and it says "Installing" Should I press quit or just continue? I just wanna upgrade from leopard to SL. it's a full retail SL disc if that matters.

OS X :: Upgrading From Tiger To Snow Leopard - No Backup
Oct 12, 2009Posting for a friend who has just purchased Snow Leopard Box Set and wants to upgrade from Tiger. She was half way through the installation when she thought that Snow Leopard had not asked her to back up and she cancelled the installation half way through (not sure how, think she just turned off her Mac). She turned it back on but the only option it is giving her is too continue with the installation of Snow Leopard.
What she wants to know is will the erase all her data on her hard drive, or will she still have her files located in Documents/ Downloads etc when the installation is complete. I know when I upgraded from Leopard all these files were still present, I'm not so sure if it is the same with Tiger. Shes really worried about this as she has some valuable files in there.

Jan 12, 2010I have a 2007 mac pro running tiger currently. I'd like to upgrade to snow leopard, but I want to make sure that I'm not affecting the other drives on my computer. Currently I have all my apps on the main drive (the one that came from apple) and three other drives on the other bays. What is the best way of doing a fresh install without worrying about my other drives?
I was thinking of removing the three drives, do my upgrade and then slotting the drives back in, would my computer recognize these drives? Do I even have to take these drives out? I am also going to back up my main drive via super duper. If something happens during my upgrade, how can I clone my old drive data back?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Upgrading Snow Leopard To It On Firewire HDD?
Apr 12, 2012I have Snow Leopard installed on a partition on a Firewire HD, back when my MacBook Pro was also running SN. Since then I have upgraded to Lion. I recently tried to boot from the SN partition on the FW HD, only to get the 3 beep error (which I discovered later means the Mac can't boot from an earlier version than the current OS it's running...)
So, I would now like to upgrade the Firewire HD version of OSX from Snow Leopard to Lion [keeping the user folder in place, with docs, apps etc], but the installer says it can't be done. Do I have to erase the partition and do a clean install? It's pretty annoying if I do!

Intel Mac :: Upgrading From 10.5.8 To Snow Leopard & Lion?
Apr 13, 2012Currently I have an iMac 10.5.8 with an Intel Core 2 Duo and 2Go Ram. Since January I didn't had much system updates because my software is apparently too old ... And I am kind of paranoid about the Trojans that I might have because I use the old version plus Safari is getting blocked very often. So I decided to by first Snow Leopard and then Lion. The thing is that I live in Norway & I will have to use the Norwegian apple store to by those programs but my OS X is in French. So I was wondering if I will be able to choose my language or the whole system will be automatically in Norwegian? The second question is to know if it is difficult to upgrade? I am a Mac user because I don't have any clues about the computers and Mac is always working. I read some complaints from people who after installing Snow Leopard couldn't use properly their printers or other apps... Is there is something I (completely ignorant person) should be aware of before doing the upgrade?

Intel Mac :: Upgrading From Snow Leopard To Lion?
Apr 25, 2012I received the Snow Leopard upgrade disc from Apple. The instructions read to simply upgrade to SL version 10.6.8 after running the installation disc, and then to purchase the Lion upgrade from the Mac App. However, this SL version seems to be 10.5.8, and none of the 10.6.8 or lower updates will work. I found a 10.6.1, but that won't install either. They all say that I need OS 10.6 and I can't find it. I have a 2009 iMac with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor.

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Upgrading From 10.6.5 To Mountain Lion?
Jun 28, 2012I'm running 10.6.5 on my Mid 2010 15" MBP. I was also a MobileMe user.
Now I'm thinking about upgrading to Mountain Lion upon it's release, and have questions to help me decide if I want to use iCloud or not.
1) I have zero interest in Lion and want to skip it, going directly to Mountain Lion. Can this be done?
2) If I choose to use iCloud, during setup, one is given a list of checkboxes for the items they want to sync. One checkbox is labeled "documents & data".
Once this box is checked and a sycn is executed, what specific files are uploaded from my MacBook Pro?
Do I have control over what goes up into iCloud? Initially my iCloud usage would be mostly data files, I would want to choose which files go to the cloud and which files remain on my hard drive. Is this possible?
The amount of control over what goes into the cloud is my main concern. If I have total control, then iCloud will be great. If not then I will use another solution.

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: After Upgrading To 10.6.8, Apps Can't Find Fonts
May 13, 2012I recently upgraded to OX 10.6.8 (MacBook Pro). Now Quark Xpress and Microsoft Word can't find the fonts. They both see the same list of fonts. The fonts are all windows true type fonts (.ttf). The list of fonts available does not include all the .ttf fonts in the library. There is no font folder anywhere that has only the fonts that these two apps see in it. The apple apps I tested see all the fonts in the library. How do I make the fonts available to the non-apple applications?
