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.

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?

My 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 want to upgrade to Snow Leopard and iLife '09, but if I do that, will everything on my computer be deleted or everything that is compatible with snow leopard still work and not be deleted after upgrading? Some details about what happens when you upgrade.

Is it possible to access the Internet using another computer connected to it. Reason be that we sometimes have only access to a UMTS network, and since we only have one stick it would be nice if the other computer in the network could surf over the one connected to the UMTS network.

My iMac has slowed down signficantly recently and sometimes hangs at log-in or very occasionally at other times. The screen grab of the activity monitor shows the amount of memory 'used' at log-in with no software open - is it normal for half the memory to be 'used' already?

How can I make flipbooks on my computer? The iPhoto program has a flipbook in the form I want but it is then sent on to Aople who converts it to a soft cover booklet and returns the book. 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.

I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro (I bought it in Janurary, so not the new ones). My POS software will not run on Lion. I was wondering if there was any way that I can downgrade my computer to Snow Leopard, I have the disc. Also, I installed Snow Leopard on an external HD but my computer would not start up from that disc, is there any way to fix that? Information: Snow Leopard Version 10.6.3 - Lion Version: 10.7.4 - MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 4GB RAM.
View 4 Replies View Related... 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.
I'm trying to install Snow Leopard with my "Mac OS X install DVD" to my friends's Mac, I have a MBP and he has a MB, will it work?
View 2 Replies View Relatedthis isn't an isolated issue - there are threads about this over at Apple and InsanelyMac: I'm unable to install Snow Leopard. When I run the installer, it'll tell me that "Mac OS X cannot be installed on "Macintosh HD", because this disk cannot be used to start up your computer" (Macintosh HD being my OS X volume, obviously). I'm seeing this issue on a relatively new 1.8ghz Macbook Air with a 128gb SSD - however, as far as I can tell from the other threads, the problem also affects iMacs and Macbooks.
Some people apparently attributed the issue to a PGP installation they had on their harddrive. Others found a file called backup.backupdb in their root - deleting it fixed the problem. However, most people don't have any of that installed on their computers and the upgrade still won't work. - if anyone has found a solution to the issue, please let me know :-( I'm stuck here. I don't have an external drive for the MBA and booting from a network drive has never worked on this particular machine - so I can't do a clean install, either.
I just bought snow leopard. if i install it on my current macbook (leopard), will it delete all my music, pics, etc.?
View 8 Replies View RelatedIn the last few days, when I hit a key to start up the computer, all I will get is a blank screen with the small, multi-colored, rotating disk icon. I can't get out of this unless I hold the power key down for about 5 seconds, which I know is probably not the right way to shut down.

I am trying to upgrade from leopard to snow leopard on my MacBook Pro. However, every time I insert the install disk, the machine whirs for a moment, and then ejects the disk with no error message. I tested my drive with a different dvd and it works just fine. All of my other software is up to date.
