IMac :: Computer Now Takes About 2 Minutes To Boot Up After Installed Snow Leopard?
Sep 2, 2009Have my iMac since March and absolutely no problem. Installed Snow Leopard this weekend and worked just perfect UNTIL I turned the machine off. The next day restarted my computer and now takes about 2 minutes to boot up/then when screen comes up it is frozen for about another 2-3 minutes before can start using it. So basically, takes about 5 minutes from start up to being able to use my iMac. Spent an hour on phone with Apple on Monday night--they really tried--but couldn't fix it and now want me to bring to local Apple authorize dealer to work on it. Called them and they think it is the hard drive going out. But just doesn't make sense---worked just fine until I loaded 10.6 and then turned off machine. Before I bring it in and have them open it up and fool with the internal hard drive---DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA'S WHAT IS HOLDING UP THE STARTUP.

Aug 28, 2009I did a bit of reading on the internet, and it looks like most computers will not boot into 32-bit mode by default with 10.6. It appears that if while booting the user holds the 6 and 4 keys, the computer will boot into 64-bit mode.
Does anyone know anything about this? Will the computer always boot into 64-bit mode if this is done once? Will it even make a difference? Will the average user want to do this?
OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: 'Snow Leopard Cannot Install To Computer'
Apr 11, 2012iMac 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.

Software :: Installing Old Leopard Alternate Boot With Snow Leopard
Oct 17, 2009I have a tower Mac Pro with Snow Leopard running on it.Unfortunately one of the software that I use doesn't have yet a Snow Leopard update. So I am thinking maybe I can install older version of Leopard on one of the internal drives (i have 3 additional internal drives), so I can boot my computer from either Leopard or Snow Leopard, depending on needs (i don't want to get rid of Snow Leopard).
I never installed OS X system before, so I am a bit scared.The internal drive is ready, I have the old Leopard on disks, what are the next steps to take?
OS X :: Finally Re-installed Leopard On New Hard Drive - Can Only Boot From Another Computer
Feb 24, 2010After many unsuccessful rounds of burning to DL DVDs and flash drives, I settled on making my iPod bootable and running it from there.So I'm excited and running my startup disk on my MBP as the iPod and I've connected my MBP to my iMac G5 PowerPC through firewire and enabled target mode. After booting into the iPod, it gave me the option to install to the new hard drive from the iMac G5 (which is currently connected to my MBP). I installed it through my MBP, and assumed it had installed to my G5.

Jun 27, 2012My computer cannot see my scanner.I am using a UMAX 1220U flatbed scanner.It's connected by a USB cable.It has worked in the past with both Graphic Converter and Image Capture Version 6.0.1 (428).It has never worked with VueScan.Now, today, it won't work at all.Image Capture reports that no camera or scanner is connected.For drivers I use the SANE backends and frontends that I got from sane-project.org/intro.html. When Image Capture works, I see the SANE icon up in the "Devices" section of the column on the left.When Image Capture does not work, I do not see the SANE caption there.I have experimented with the USB cable, unplugging it and replugging it at both the computer and the scanner. I have moved the cable to different ports on the computer without success.
I have tried unplugging the power cord to the scanner for a while and then replugging the power cable.That has worked in the past, but not in the last two days.Today I redownloaded and reinstalled the SANE software again.It did not work.System Profiler does not list the scanner in the USB Device Tree.

I think Apples's marketing team are missing the boat for not offering flipbooks for sale. The one in iPhoto is very easy to use, and flexible as well. Nothing I have seen on the web is nearly as good. All I want is to make my own flipbook to keep on my own computer.

View 4 Replies View RelatedMacBook Pro :: Can't Boot From Snow Leopard DVD?
Sep 5, 2010I need your help diagnosing this early 2007 Macbook Pro running the latest version of Snow Leopard. It isn't mine, rather my sister's, so I don't know the full details of everything as I don't see her all the time. Last December, I swapped in my 160gb 5400RPM SATA drive from my late 2006 MBP into her MBP as I had just bought and installed a 500gb 7200RPM drive into my MBP. I installed a fresh copy of Snow Leopard onto her machine, patched it up, and sent her on her way.
A few weeks ago, she came to me saying she was having trouble booting into OS X and was just having trouble using her laptop in general. The hard drive wasn't making any erratic noises, so I figured the system install had corrupted itself. The problem was I wasn't able to boot to the Snow Leopard DVD. The DVD would show up at boot when holding down the Option key to show boot devices, but when clicked, it would show the Apple logo, then the "prohibitory" symbol and the fans would spin up on full blast, with no further progress.
Booting into Single User mode, I was able to run disk repair and after running it over a few times, I was told the drive was without errors, the laptop booted fine (minus the booting to Snow Leopard DVD) and I gave the MBP back to her.
Fast forward to today, she's having issues booting in to OS X again. It'll show the Apple boot logo, but the small spinning circle will freeze, and the whole laptop will come to a halt. I still can't boot to the DVD either, with the same symptoms as above. I'm sure I can boot into Single User mode, run Disk Repair, and probably be good, but I want to attack this issue at the source.
Is the hard drive I've got in her MBP going bad (I can't hear any of the erratic noises you hear when you know a drive is going bad)? What else could it be? What about the inability to boot to the Snow Leopard DVD? What is the problem and how can I fix it? Thanks, and sorry for the long winded post.

OS X :: Snow Leopard Refuses To Boot Into 64 Bit?
Aug 30, 2009Brought snow Leopard from Apple, and got it yesterday. I installed it today, and whilst it seems faster I have a few problems. Mainly that it doesn't seem to boot into 64-bit mode, neither from an app changing it to boot into 64 bit or by pressing the 6 and 4 keys down.
Also, does anyone know why a plugin to make Quicklook have a list view for Folders won't work anymore?

OS X :: Cannot Boot Camp By Snow Leopard?
Nov 17, 2009I set up windows xp on my imac using boot camp and then used the snow leopard disc to install drivers etc. I then tried to install a game (GTA IV) but setup.exe immediately crashed to desktop. I tried with another game (Fallout 3), same thing. Today I tried re-installing xp without installing the drivers etc from the snow leopard disc. This time, both games installed fine. But without the extras from the snow leopard disc, I can't play them.
