OS X V10.7 Lion :: Why Doesn't It Have The Back And Up Like It Used To Be In Snow Leopard
Feb 12, 2012
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?
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.
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 installing windows with Bootcamp.so i started the installation process got past partition and now i am stuck on select cd-rom boot type no key board or mouse will work and i cannot eject the windows cd everytime i restart it goes to this screen..I tried a dell keyboard with usb and that didn't work any other suggestions.i feel like if i eject the cd it will help i just want to get back to Lion and all that awesome stuff on my computer.
I have a MB Pro 15'' that's almost 4 years old (=it's the previous model).
I bought a Snow Leopard CD to upgrade from 10.5.8 a few days ago. I tried it on Thursday and the driver wouldn't accept it, it would try a bit to run but then it would get spitted out. I assumed it is because of the scratches the CD had. So I bought another one. And I am having the exact same problem: Although the CD is in perfect conditions, it just won't run. This time the driver tries a bit harder (I can tell by the sounds) but in the end it just won't get accepted.
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?
Even though this may be a naive thought/ question, it is a honest thought/ question.Since OS X,version 10.6 is marketed as Snow Leopard, and not as 10.6, it seems to me that us relatively new Mac users could benefit from Apple actually using the words Snow Leopard in the "About This Mac" screens.I say this because a lot of tines I hear the question "are you using Snow Leopard", and to a newbie Mac user, it's not immediately clear when you check "About This Mac", unless you know 10.6 is Snow Leopard.
Or is Snow Leopard 10.6.1 and not 10.6? Now remember, all of us start from ground zero in computing savvy.so be gentle with me and if Snow Leopard is actually stated somewhere.
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 updated to Snow Leopard. I have an HP 6310 All-In-One. The scanner portion worked fine prior to the update, now an "Unknown Error" constantly occurs preventing me from scanning documents. Image Capture doesn't even recognize there is a scanner available. I have downloaded the most recent driver from HP, (2007), but it still does not work. Will I have to wait for HP to build a new driver specifically for Leopard?
I just installed Win 7 in bootcamp on my mac pro and want to be able to connect to it and control it from my MBP on a local network. I used to just use RDC when I was running win xp sp2 - worked great. Now, RDC doesn't work. I turned on screen sharing and installed realvnc in win 7. But, I can't use RDC still and I tried using chicken of the vnc and also the command-k: vnc://10.0.1.3Neither work - I set up realvnc to only require a password set in that program, the ip addy is correct, and realvnc says it is up and running on the mac pro.
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?
When my laptop shuts down if change my dock it goes back to its old self when I turn my laptop back on and the same for my bookmarks I can't change them so that they stay there?
I am using time machine to backup my MacBook Pro.Although Time Machine says oldest backups will be deleted when the disk is full, I am having a problem because Time Machine says it needs 106Mb but I only have Time 67 Mb are available so the backup fails.
after updating my imac to OS Lion, css Dreamweaver 3 isnt working properly, amoung other things like Front row ect...is there an easy way to revert back to snow Leopard?
I just noticed, that the built-in video-cams on two iMacs (one white 20" and one aluminum 24") do not work.
System Profiler is not detecting a video-cam. I guess, this probably confirms that this is not the GM build. Does anyone have a solution to enabling the video-cams?
i have a problem with my Snow Leopard installation. Since I've installed Snow Leopard, my external USB HD won't work anymore. It's a ICY BOX case with USB 2 and Firewire 400 interface. The mac is a mid 2009 mac mini (9400m).
P.S.: It doesn't show up in the disc utility
PP.S.: I tried two different hard drives in the enclosure, but all worked fine before Snow Leopard!
