• Mavericks back to experiences of Snow Leopard

  I have a MacBook Pro mid-2009 (4 GB of RAM, 2.26 GHz, 160 HD) which is running Mavericks (10.9.5). I'm having some problems with iTunes (12.3.1) find my library since I copied the library files to my Time Capsule to an HD station. I have researched and followed the instructions, but iTunes does not want to find the library, even when I told him to go get on the Time Capsule

  It was suggested that I go to Snow Leopard and run an earlier version of iTunes. Apple technology, I spoke with the phone says it is not recommended and may cause greater problems. A lot of people here and elsewhere explains how to restore to Snow Leopard, so of course it is possible.

  If you have switched from Mavericks back to Snow Leopard with a Mac similar years what has been your experience? I think that Apple engineers could be on a short leash until they can advice and that Apple does not want people returning back with software - even if it is possible. Yet, I would like to hear the experiences of others.

  In fact, it's one of the reasons that I keep Snow Leopard on my mid-2009 BPM5, 5. If you have a time Machine (or any other sort of one) ready backup, there is no problem in the version of the OS. You can get a clean install of Snow Leopard via the installation DVD that came along your Mac and automatically or manually (I recommend manually) put your files. Nevertheless, I think that you should give a chance on the migration of your iTunes library, as it seems it's your fundamental problem, following the procedure below:

  Try to uninstall the version of iTunes installed in the latest version of Mac OS X and install the version 11.4 (the last iTunes available on Mac OS X 10.6.8).) You can download this version from the Apple - Support - downloads link. Then you can follow these instructions on how to migrate your library

• Process of return to Snow Leopard of El Capitan

  I have an iMac from the beginning of 2008.  I was using Snow Leopard successfully.  Last weekend, I've upgraded to El Capitan.  During the conversion, I lost all my email history.  I had saved Snow Leopard in Time Machine just before the upgrade.  I want to find a process documented back to Snow Leopard (I have the dicc) and time using Time Machine to reinstall the emails.  I tried to reinstall the e-mails with the help of El Capitan, but it does not work.  Did Snow Leopard work - El Capitan runs very slowly with my chip set.  Any help would be appreciated.

  Here's what you need to do:

  Snow Leopard erase and install

  Remember to only back up your files.

  1. Insert the Snow Leopard DVD in the optical drive and restart the computer.
  2. Immediately after hearing the chime hold down the C key.
  3. Release the button when the Apple logo appears and wait for loading to complete.
  4. After the installer loads, choose your language and click on the continue button. When the menu bar appears select utility drive in the Utilities menu.  After disk utility charges select the entry out-bumpy in the list aside (mfgr. size ID and disc drive.)  In the right side of the disk utility window, click the Partition tab.  Set the number of partitions of one (1) in the menu dropdown. Click the Options button and select GUID, click on OK, the value of the Mac OS Extended journaled format type. Finally, click on the apply button.
  5. Once the format is complete, quit disk utility.  Continue with the installation of OS X and follow the directions.
  6. Once installation is complete, the computer will restart in the installation wizard. After completing the Setup Wizard, you will use a new installation of Snow Leopard. Open the software update and install updates recommended.
  7. If you plan to sell or to give to your remote computer, then proceed as follows: once you reformat your hard disk and reinstall Snow Leopard, the computer restarts with a welcome screen. To leave the Mac in a State OOTB (Out Of The Box), do not continue with the Setup program. Instead, press the command and Q keys to stop the computer. The installation wizard will guide you the new owner through the installation procedure, after that it turns on the computer.
  8. Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 v1.1 updated Combo. If necessary. It is not necessary if you are selling or giving your computer away.

• Newer systems as beautiful as Snow Leopard?

  My HP printer has been replaced under warranty.  It wouldn't work with my Snow Leopard operating system.  I had used the OS 10.6 since 2009.  In order to get functions limited to work with my iMac, I had to get a third-party driver.  HP technicians told me that if I am a Lion of the mountains or of the Mavericks, and then the printer will work.  I upgraded to Mountain Lion this month and just got my iMac back on March 10.

  My first impression of Mountain Lion, is that, in my view, that designers could not make up their minds that they were designing for a smartphone, tablet or desktop computer.  It doesn't impress me at all.  At least my printer works fully with the OS now.  But, there are so many things that I don't like and I've been a Mac user since I had my first Macintosh computer which was a Macintosh LC.

  I can do to help give the look and feel of Snow Leopard Mountain Lion without actually going back to Snow Leopard?

  If this is not possible, can someone tell me if Apple brought all the qualities of Snow Leopard back to one of the more recent than the Cougar systems?

  My computer went from OS to OS 10.8.5 10.6.8.  I was happy with OS 10.6.8.  I am not happy with OS 10.8.5.

  The two OS X 10.8 and 10.9 (is no longer available, at all) have things like launch pad and other things that combine ideas of iOS with OS X.

  It's the way it is and cannot be changed.

  If you don't like the changes in OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, you will be more disappointed by OS X 10.10 OS X 10.11 El Capitan and Yosemite (also abandoned).

  While functionally, EL Capitan has a lot more features and is a better OS X Yosemite, visually, it's a mess with brighly color icons looking for dishes that make the BONE resembles the computer of a young child.

  The worst interface still looks against a real world screen background image.

  OS X interface looking for anything just horrible!

  That said, you had / have an option to install your new OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion on a hard drive external and only boot to it when you need to use the new printer. You could have kept OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on your internal Mac hard drive and continue to use it and all applications.

  That's what I do.

  I have several copies of versions of Mac OS X 10.6.8 10.8.5, 10.9.5 and 10.11 on external hard drives and still use OS X 10.6.8 as my main OS X version.

  You're right about this version of OS X being that the best version of OS X Apple ever designed!

  However, I had to stop using the version of Safari for OS X 10.6.8 Web browser because it is old and is no longer being updated and no security updates were issued for her over the years.

  I use the version of compatible OS X 10.6.8 recent of Mozilla Firefox, which is still current, updated and supported on OS X Snow Leopard.

• Can I run the Mavericks and Snow Leopard on my MacBook?

  I have a mid-2009 MacBookPro (4 GB of RAM, 2.26 GHz) running Mavericks 10.9.5. I wish I never upgraded to Snow Leopard and was planning go back from iTunes (12.3.1) is now unable to find my library when I copied the files to my Time Capsule to a new HD post with the intention that the HD Ext. would be the new home for my iTunes library. I researched how to change the location of the library and followed the instructions but no luck. Many people, including my local tech, have suggested that this is because the Mavericks and editions of the latter to iTunes doesn't play well with my old MacBook and it has been suggested that I come back to Snow Leopard. I'm ready, but use the latest version of Aperture requiring (3.5.1) of the Mavericks, and given that Apple no longer supports opening there is no way to get 3.2.4, which is the last version that can run on Snow Leopard.

  I'd be able to keep the Mavericks and use it only if you use Aperture while being able to install Snow Leopard, and use it for everything? My MacBook seems better to work on Snow Leopard but opening works well on the Mavericks.

  I suppose that if I went down to iTunes 10.7 it would automatically get upgraded to the top without asking my permission, so there is no interest in any downgrades iTunes and it works on the Mavericks as a possible solution.

  Boot from the DVD and use disk utility to create a new partition on the internal drive. Install Snow Leopard. You can then start in which operating system never sought.

• May my end 2011 MBP running 10.11.5 El Capitan using Back to My Mac to see my 2006 Mac Mini running Snow Leopard 10.6.8?

  I want to be able to access my Mac Mini to the road, but it supports the latest OS is 10.6.8 which was at the time of MobileMe. How can I use back to my mac to access the mini?

  Thank you!

  I suspect that Snow Leopard 10.6 doesn't have access to iCloud, so set up Back-to-My-Mac might be a problem.

  You can use (free for personal use) TeamViewer.com screen sharing and transfer between your 2 file systems.

  <http://teamviewer.com>

  Try the current version on both systems, but if you have you can also get an older version for Snow Leopard system

  It is otherwise more complicated for remote connections, to open ports in your personal router, setting up secure ssh tunnels, etc., but it is really something for people who love to get down and dirty with pieces of computer

• Not good at El Capitan Snow Leopard: which goes back?

  Well, I'm in trouble, I think. I have improved my Early 2008 iMac (2.4 Ghz 4 GB ram) machine of 10.6 Snow Leopard to El Capitan (reason: so I could save my new iPhone6s - was not recognized in iTunes in 10.6). What is OS El Capitan somewhere cool, but oh oh oh how it slowed the computer. I am a photographer running Adobe LIghtroom, and sometimes the computer literally stops responding. I need to keep my iPhone saved, so I plan to go back in the OS to one of the following:

  OS X 10,10 "Yosemite", 10.9 "Mavericks" 10.8 "Mountain Lion", 10.7 "Lion"

  It would be great to go back just to one of these, but the #1 problem is that I have never owned one any of them. I went directly to El Capitan in Snow Leopard.

  The next option I guess would be back to 10.6 SL and then upgrade from there. #2 problem is that I already have a SuperDuper! backup my iMac to El Capitan running. I have no copy, what her backup or system disks, with OS 10.6 Snow Leopard for my 2008 iMac. (I have 10.4 Tiger which was for an iMac PowerPC G5 and 10.6 who was for my MacBook Pro 2010. "I am sure that these are useless for my 2008 iMac).

  Should which way I follow to get to one of these operating systems? I would like to buy a new computer, but I would like to find a solution to give at the moment. Should I go buy a system for one of the OS disk, I want somewhere?

  The next question, I've seen a few discussions, is that OS would reasonably execute such as Snow Leopard, but also let my iPhone6s to be recognized in iTunes?

  Thanks for reading.

  Looks like you need to do some third party editing software, because 10.11 works very well on this iMac.

  You could also try to replace one of the modules of 2 GB with a 4GB module and run with 6 GB to see if that helps.

• Yosemite to Snow Leopard and back to Yosemite

  Hello world.   My first question on a blog!  I upgraded to Yosemite and now can't use some older software to work, so not able to get the data.  Can someone me that it would be normal to return to snow leopard, get the data moved elsewhere, then reinstall the Yosemite?  I hope this makes sense.  There is a lot of data.  Thank you for all your comments!

  Yes, if you have created a Snow Leopard time Machine, you can restore from this backup as shown below

  https://support.Apple.com/kb/PH18846?locale=en_US

  Once you are ready to upgrade to Yosemite yet once, just go to the App store, click purchased purchased tab and download OS X Yosemite. Then once he completes the free download and install Yosemite by following the instructions. I hope this helps!

• My inner smartdrive dvd player won't read DVDs more.  I have updated to Snow Leopard in Yosemite.

  I am currently using OS X Yosemite 10.10.5.  I bought in 2009 iMac with Snow Leopard and have to Lion then updated my current operating system.  The internal dvd player has worked with much fussing, (insert the disc - closing - turn after a wait - by pushing the drive when he jumped on reboot).  If I had the chance after a few hours, the video disc show up on my desk.  When this happened, I was opening the dvd player that was in the Finder and the disc would play. I also tried to open the dvd first player and then insert the disc.  That no longer works.  Yesterday, only it just stop working.  The reader still takes dvd and swirls and click as before but then ejects the dvd. Repeatedly stop and restart is no longer works.  I make sure that the dvd be clean before I use it and have tried many different DVDs without success.  I think it's a software issue.  Does anyone have an idea/instructions a nearly dead grandmother brain that can follow to update or redate back to original factory setting to help this poor Smartdrive not so smart?

  I have no TV, only my computer and phone at low prices.  I need to watch that my library borrowed from the dvd.

  Thank you.

  I suspect the optical drive has failed. My 2009 Mac Mini could not shoot with same symptom 4 years ago.

  To confirm a drive failure, insert a Snow Leopard installation DVD and try to start with the C key.

  If this isn't the case, they drive could not be started.

  I would just get an external optical drive, one powered with an AC adapter. The Superdrive Apple USB does not work without a hack.

• Installation 10.11.6 El Capitan with 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on old Mac Pro 4.2 multiboot?

  Looking for savvy here advice...  I have an old Mac Pro 4.2 (cheese grater) that runs Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  It is a wonderful workhorse machine, who served me tirelessly for many years.  It is obviously older and slower, but works very well.  I love 10.6.8.  If Apple ever updated the Mac Pro line (I know, probably not... sigh...), I'll buy one and replace this machine.  Until then, I keep doing this work.

  This machine is a beast, has been upgraded with internal hard drives 1 TB three (he also got a couple internal HDs inherited from 750 and 500 MB used for storage).  I have also several external 1-4 to, hip, FW800 drives too.  A host of storage, of course, and should be a lot of options to start on several systems.

  I am generally satisfied with 10.6.8 on this machine, although there are obvious limits to that.  I would get one or two operating systems newer on it, pick-and-choose between them according to the needs, but I absolutely want to/need to preserve the ability to initiate and run 10.6.8 systematically as my operating system on the day the day, at least for now.  Maybe I'll warm to one of the others on this machine eventually, but 10.6.8 must remain usable, install a newer OS on other readers may not nerve there.

  On a year-and-a-half ago, I took a race to install 10.10.3 Yosemite on one of the internal disks.  This doesn't quite work.  I moved, sniffed Yosemite everywhere, don't really like it a lot and went to restart and him switch back to 10.6.8 for a bit.  Initially, it was impossible (from less than I expected, would be the same old process, I have always used, via system preferences > startup disk).  You can read the details of this experience here and more here if you are interested.  This latest attempt to get Yosemite on this machine was a very negative experience.  Yosemite is still there on an internal HD, but I tried not to boot on it since then.

  Now I take another look at this.  What is the engine now, is that I want to update my iPad Mini 3 iOS 10.  But that (update of an iDevice iOS 10) requires iTunes 12.5.1.  And iTunes 12.5.1 requires Mac OS X 10.9.5 or newer - it won't work with 10.6.8.  I'm looking for my options.

  Right now, I have three large internal HDs: HD #1, 2 # HD and HD #3, each 1 TB.

  HD #1 has 10.10.3 Yosemite on this.  I started from this time and have not resumed since.

  HD #2 has 10.6.8 Snow Leopard top.  This is my main operating system and startup of daily drive.

  HD #3 is nothing special about it.

  Although HD #1's Yosemite about that, I have only started from this disc once and hesitate to go back, at least until I can get a way easy and reliable to restart off HD #2.

  I understand that I can also get 10.11.6 El Capitan.  I thought that installing on HD #3.  That sounds like a reasonable to add option, but again, I want to make sure it won't cause problems to switch back to start off HD #2 in Snow Leopard (such as installation of Yosemite on HD #1).

  What is the best way for me to go about safely - preserve the option to start easily in 10.6.8 on HD #2?

  Thanks for the help!

  If you start or restart now Option (Alt) key and calls the Startup Manager, you should be given the choice at the start of any boot disk OS X on any of the readers.

• Install Snow Leopard on iMac 2.8 GHz Quad Core i5

  I just bought a refurbished 21.5 in iMac 2.8 GHz Quad Core Intel Core i5 on the Apple Store to replace an aging 21.5 in iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3. The new iMac has 10 El Capitan 10.11.6 OS and the old iMac OS Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

  I have old versions of Quark Xpress, Photoshop, Illustrator and Filemaker Pro on the old iMac running SL and I want to continue to use these. I am now retired and can no longer pay to upgrade.

  I partitioned the HD on the new iMac and had hope install SL and migrate all my old files from the old computer. I tried to recover from a Time Machine backup since the iMac old and installation of the system from a bootable USB stick SL. None of them has allowed me to move forward.

  Has anyone else tried this and succeeded? Will I have to completely erase the HD in the new computer, partition the drive, install SL on a partition and, on the other?

  I've seen similar issues but no response to my problem. Real help would be appreciated.

  Your mac is not designed to work in 10.6 and the operating system will prevent installation of 10.6 using the API. While this is possible through virtualization, but you will be using a 3rd party solution to do something your mac was not intended to do and any instability could be traced back to this.

  Use the version of Mac OS X included with your Mac, or a more recent compatible version - Apple Support

• restoration of time Snow Leopard machine on el capitan

  My iMac is toast. I have a MacBook Pro, dated but supported for El Capitan. I want to spend all my El Capitan Time machine, including the operating system for the MacBook Pro. Instructions to do this involve booting from a recovery partition, or an equivalent of the internet. But the Snow Leopard operating system does not support these approaches. How to boot in order to restore?

  I discovered recently, after trying to start my El Capitan Macbook Pro to an ext hdd than Snow Leopard snow leopard anything or not can not read the disc El Capitan. However, the reverse is ok.

  The best thing I think would be to reinstall the time Machine back to El Capitan, then do a manual brake and fall back to the top of your data to another drive before installation installation of Snow Leopard then drag and drop your files backed up to your new snow Leopard.

  It is because (if I remember correctly), time machine back ups are difficult to navigate. I always use Carbon Copy Cloner as it makes a bootable copy of my drive and you can easily access your files if you plug it in as an ext hdd.

  You only really need to back up your home folder and make sure that your keychain files and the browser are stored, and then reinstall all your applications. Maybe a little harder if you have a lot of paid applications.

  That's what I'd do, but maybe someone else has a better idea.

• NAT with Snow Leopard issue

  For the poster who will say "Google is your friend", no it is not, or I wouldn't be here.

  I tried for a while now to solve the only problem I have with Snow Leopard Server.

  MySql has fallen lion and, apparently, no one knows how to use postgrl so I installed MySql and plundered with her for a few hours to get this working.  There were various other issues with Lion.  Finally, I went to Yosemite.  Hey Apple, where is the GUI?  Then at el Capitan and finally tried Sierra (no server app at all yet).

  For me, each 'step-up' taking things and running weaker than the last.

  Welcome to Snow Leopard.  I'll stick with it for a while to come.

  The only problem I have with Snow Leopard, it's that when it restarts, the NAT will not start upward.  Other than that, it does a magnificent job to maintain my home network.  I searched high and low for an answer without success.  A few posters who have addressed this problem specifically here never got a response.

  As this seems to be about three years or more, since this question was asked and it seems that some have migrated to the SLS, I was wondering if anyone has found a solution.

  As it is now, as soon as there is a need to reboot, I just disable the NAT service, restart and turn it back on.  In the case of a failure of current (longer than the inverter can maintain) or just a random crash, I have to kill the firewall and NAT then the configuration of the gateway of new service that requires fixing the various omissions and errors and I'm good to go again.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  You have posted in the forum of Snow Leopard Client.  I ask that to move this post.  In the meantime, you can see the various forums about this trick:
