Is it OK to just use my original Snow Leopard disc to reinstall SL or is it more complex ? I have upgraded to Lion but am having some problems with some software just not liking Lion.
I have a LARGE database in Apple Works. I need to get the in a different format.....I cannot open it in Lion. How do I go back to Snow Leopard, just for that task. WIll I loose stuff (I have only been running Lion for a few days....so I gave not created much on it.) I'm mostly concerned about pictures
Wanted to love Lion--hate it. I cannot run many of my programs for my students that I have invested a lot of money into because"Power PC Applications are not supported." Also, my students are network users--every time they log in to the network at a different computer, they have to reenter the iWork SN. It's a nightmare for a teacher with 300 students to help.I want to take my new iMacs running 10.7.3 and back them down to any version of Snow Leopard I can get them to. I can't clone them with Migration Assistant--the iMac running Lion just will not start with the older OS.
Why doesn't Lion have the back and up like it used to be in Snow Leopard, its very usefull and keeps you on track rather pressing < command + { >. What is an alternative?
I've been using happily Snow Leopard for a couple of weeks now but last night it just started freezing. Everytime I open Spotlight and look for something I see the spinning beachball... the mouse still works but NOTHING else does (Dock, menus, Finder)... everything just freezes.
For some reason my iMac has started to freeze everytime it goes into screen saver mode... I have to turn the computer off to reset everthing. This error message then popps up:

Yesterday I went out and bought the new snow leopard and 4gb (2x2gb) of OCZ ram. First, I installed the OCZ ram and booted into Leopard for a minute to check it was working all right. Then I installed snow leopard and that went smoothly. I used my laptop for around 3 hours last night and then it froze. Then this morning I have used it for a little over an hour and it froze again. All my drivers are up to date.
As the thread title states, ever since I updated to snow leopard, both safari and firefox freeze up when I access the ESPN home page and occasionally a few other sites that I have never experienced problems with before on leopard. However, if i turn off the enable plug-ins button in the safari preferences pane, most of the sites work just fine. I thought it may be flash related but i have since updated the programs it it continues to freeze up on the ESPN page. side note, this happens on both my work and home computers (very different specs between the two).
For those of you who have freezing/beachballing in Snow Leopard and upgraded from Leopard - delete every 3rd party plugin you installed during Leopard in Quicktime, Quicklook or Safari...etc..
After dropping my macbook I had a black screen with just a cursor that would move though could not perform any actions. After reseting pram and smc, i now get to the screen with the stars and what looks like the aurora borealis or whatever. The cursor is there though nothing is happening when trying to click and when i press any keys, i gent that *dunt* noise indicating i have tried an invalid action. Does anyone know what might be the problem? I m hoping i wont need a new hd or mobo. This is my first time on the apple forums.
I recently upgraded from 10.5.8 to 10.6.3 and now my computer is freezing up like crazy. I have all the qualifications to run SL ... but for whatever reason it is having MAJOR issues. how I can find out why my iMac is now freezing up?
Info: iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8), Upgraded from 10.5.8
This just started yesterday, I was trying to send an email and computer froze. Only way to quit apps was command tab Q...but computer was still frozen, had to hold power button to restart then happened again several times, It may have to do with hitting return or using the numberic keypad. Ideas anyone? Maybe alittle off subject but my computer will not mount dvd's as of 2 weeks ago...I'm under warranty, but live in the middle of nowhere.I did repair permissions and verify disk.
Info: latest safari, Mac OS X (10.6.8), imac i7 first generation
All of a sudden Mail won't send - it's freezing, and then finally asks for my password. Once I input the password (which hasn't changed), it sends. It's a gmail acct set up as IMAP.
Anyone have any idea of a feature that was originally going to be in Boot Camp, allowing it to switch very quickly between a hibernated version of Windows and a sleeping version of Leopard, is gonna be back for Snow Leopard?
Apparently the feature was dropped before the final version...
This would've been awesome, would love to see it back...
I was just wondering, in preparation of Snow Leopard, what would be the best way to backup? Should I restore from a TM backup, or should I copy my files and data to a external hard drive and then put it back on my computer?
I recently bought the Mac Box Set for Snow Leopard and I was wondering if I should back up my computer first or if it's safe enough to just go ahead and upgrade? Would everything disappear, like iTunes, iPhoto, etc?
Can someone help me back up my computer on my Seagate GoFlex? I have backed it up before, but am not sure now what to do to just update the most recent changes.
Is there an easy way for a novice to remove 10.6.8 and get back 10.6.7? It's just making the fans work over time now, and it was pretty silent with 10.6.7. It's getting on my nerves.
Is it possible to go back to using a previous version of OS X once I've upgraded to 10.7 without doing a new install? My daughter wants to use a game (Roller Coaster Tycoon 3) that won't run on 10.7 based on reviews on Amazon.
I have had Snow Leopard for a while now but recently I realised that there was one feature I didn't seem to have....and that is put away. It just does not show in the right click menu on any of my items in my trash. Option clicking the file also does not show this menu.
the problem is that i bought my mac(early 2011) and it came with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 already installed, ... and i accidentally installed Snow Leopard 10.6.6 using the CD that came with the mac, i mean i downgraded ...so, the point is i wanna come back to my Snow leopard 10.6.8 u know?
