Does anyone have experience to go back to Snow Leopard Lion? With Carbon Copy Cloner, it is not possible. As I have stated there is only one way to reformat system partition and reinstall Leopard Snlow.
i do not like the way my dock is atm (icon order etc and cant find a order i like) is there a way to get my dock back to the orignal (like fresah install) as i loved the way it was presented
Well the lady I talked to at Apple apparently didn't know what she was talking about, and after 3 attempts to install Leopard onto my ibook 4g. I discovered that the laptop does not come with enough RAM to install it. So, since it was never installed, but obviously has been opened.. is it going to be hard to try and return it?
Don't know how to file a possible bug report. I checked my OS-X version and it is 10.5.8, maybe more recent versions have been fixed: Here is a cut & paste from the gfortran bugzilla site  [reply] [-]2012-06-04 02:38:12 UTC Calls to fortran subroutines that use large temporary arrays fill up 'idle memory' on the MAC-OSX, as can be seen with 'top' or the Mac 'activity monitor'. I found that I can get around this by using: call system('purge')  in the code to evoke the command line 'purge' from within the program before the 'return' statement for such subroutines to free the idle memory; but I was wondering whether something could be done more fundamentally at the compiler level to avoid this problem. Without such clearing of idle memory I used to hear lots of disk access being done to get around the small amount of free 'core' memory. Massive arrays would eat up many Gb of core memory by turning it to 'idle memory'. Maybe there is a compile time option that I do not know about. [reply] [-]Comment 12012-06-04 02:47:43 UTC This sounds more like a bug in the Mac OS X kernel/libc and how it handles memory allocation.
how to remove a list (be it a numbered list or a bulletted list) from Mail?I know how to stop the numbering (hit return twice) but to remove the list entirely... no idea! I've tried reducing indent etc. but without success. Control shift return simply adds a carriage return without reducing the indent. I've searched on-line and in the forums but with no success.

I have a new install of Mac 10.7.4 on a 21" iMac. I have the iMac set to automatically log out after 14 minutes of idle time. On many occasions when the logout is triggerd, the user account will log out, but the screen does not display the login window, it still shows an image of the last state of when the computer was logged in. When I move the mouse, the screen acts as if it's erasing the pixels off the screen, showing bits and pieces of the login screen in the background. If I type a user ID and password, a small area clears around the login fields so I can see the fields and log in.Â
This was originally happening when a screen saver was enabled, I have since removed the screen saver. This did not make a difference.Â
I have the Preference Pane>Security>Advanced set to log out at 14 minutes and the Preference Pane>Energy Saver>Display Sleep set to go black at 15 minutes.Â
I have tried various different times/settings, but have not been able to fix this.Â
Since this configuration is for a Lab setting, I really need for the computer to log out cleanly and go back to the login screen.Â
In Microsoft Outlook 2011, hitting "Enter" (the tall, vertical, right-most bottom corner button on my numeric keypad) sometimes (but not always) causes an email to be sent, when I wasn't done typing and simply wanted to do a Return. I want to make sure this never happens again, but I'd like the option of hitting the Enter key to go to the next line - can I somehow redefine the Enter key at the OS level so that pressing it always sends a "Return" code to any software (such as Outlook)?
I have read on apple news that apple is offering free software upgrade for leopard to snow leopard.. is that true? I followed their link and nothing is available?
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 recently tried to use my final cut express program and it would not open.I called Apple and I was told that it ran in my older iMac because I had Snow Leopard installed in it and I upgraded to Lion, now, my new iMac doesn't have Snow Leopard in it and Im out of luck. Not only do I like FCE, I learned to use it and I want to continue doing so, I bought it from the Apple store and later I also purchased the upgrade, can I have both OS's in my mac and choose the start up disk like I did iwth OS9 and OSX?
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.
Basically looking for an answer to the title question. If it is possible, which version of Snow Leopard.do I need to buy....the $29 version? I'm basically wanting to downgrade because I want iLife 11 suite which has the iWeb software.
