• 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.

• Cannot export bookmarks to Mavericks OSX.9 to OSX.6.8 Snow Leopard

  I am trying to transfer bookmarks from 25 FF goes into OSX Mavericks of 25 FF running in OS x Snow Leopard on another partition on the same computer. The. .Html or JSON files generated by Mavericks backup / export features, will not matter in FF in Snow Leopard. Selcting them has no effect. Can't open html files in a tab of the browser in Mavericks or Snow Leopard. Try to open or to import the .html files in Safari or the other operating system does not either - he tells me that I don't have permission to open the file (permissions are verified, they are ok).
  I'm puzzled. Can someone help me please.
  Ernst Gruengast

  Thanks for the tips.

  I tried this, but after a little violin, I found the source of the problem.

  When I create the .json files .html permissions read 'me' as the owner and "Everyone" does not have access. I had already changed this in Mavericks so that 'everyone' with rw permissions. But when I reboot in Snow Leopard under exactly the same user name) and observe the information area for the two files on the USB key, the name of the owner has changed. Always read "Everyone" with rw permissions, it does not open. I had to add another condition of permissions with my name and give him rw access explicit, then it worked.

• is it safe to update to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to the Mavericks

  My local store thought Stormfront that if I upgraded to El Capitan it would slow down my Imac system upward.  They recommended that I should just upgrade to the Mavericks. Someone else has all know about which is the best version upgraded to that I support for Safari and Chrome may soon finish on Snow Leopard.

  If you have never downloaded Mavericks from the App Store, it is no longer available. If your iMac has at least 4 GB of RAM, more better, El Capitan will work.

  2 places I've seen recommended more to buy reliable RAM are below. I have bought RAM several times to other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and the service. They have instructions online on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested the RAM above what Apple says, it is the maximum. Now, I have 6 GB installed on an iMac 2008 so-called beginning limited to 4 GB and noticed an improvement.

  One solution is to create a new partition (~ 30-50 GB), install the new OS, and 'test' it. Otherwise as/like it, you can then remove the partition. Make a backup before doing anything. By doing this, if you don't like it you don't go well the recovery process.

  Check to make sure that your applications are compatible.

Using of the / / / to the low blow it upwards (step 3) until the box the size decreases by about 50 GB. Select the newly created space and press the button (step 4). Name it something and choose Mac OS extended (journaled) format (step 5). Then click on the button apply (step 6). Download the installation program from the App Store and when it starts, point it to the new partition. You can make a copy of the installer out of the Applications folder to avoid having to re - download in the future. One time installed, go to System Preferences/Startup Disk, select the new partition and restart. Test now.

• 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

• Running Snow Leopard and Mavericks, MBP 2009

  I have a MacBook Pro mid-2009 (4 GB of RAM, 2.26 GHz, 160 HD) which is running Mavericks (10.9.5). I have problems with iTunes (12.3.1) find my library since I copied the files to my Time Capsule to an HD station. I have researched and followed the instructions, but my library, but cannot be found on the disc, and also he will not find on my Time Capsule or other.

  I thought I would downgrade to Snow Leopard, but opening (3.5.1) should Mavericks. Now I think running two Mavericks for when I need to use Aperture and Snow Leopard for iTunes and most everything else, because it seems to play more enjoyable with my MacBook.

  How would be better in this respect? My Aperture library and iTunes are on a 4TB post HD all is supported with a second to 4 post HD. I'm a newb when it comes to such things. I read that "performing two partitions or drives multiple is the best way to handle this and provide most compatibility as opposed to virtualization". Someone said as I could "boot from the DVD and use disk utility to create a new partition on the internal drive. Install Snow Leopard. You can start and then in what operating system never desired. "I guess that means that two partitions on my hard drive or an OS on my HD and the other on the ext HD.? If so, what would be better? Could I put the Mavericks on the HD Ext. and Snow Leopard on my MacBook HD?

  To complicate matters, I live in America where Macs are rare. I know that in my city of 1 million a Mac tech. My Spanish is good, but I don't speak well, even in English, computers and looking for advice or ideas before you have the tech to do anything, thinking that he can just do everything is faster and more convenient for him. I also wonder if I can do it myself, since I have backups Time Machine going back to before I installed the Mavericks, but would probably have a tech do it anyway. I just want to know what precisely I would ask him to do.

  As you say, your options are either have multiple partitions on your internal drive OR install the OS 2nd on an external drive.

  [EDIT]

  If you have multiple partitions on your internal drive...

  • You can run lack of disk space on one or two partitions according to what you save on partitions
  • It is convenient because you do not have to carry another device with you.
  • If a disk fails, you lose the two partitions

  If you install 2nd OS on an external hard drive...

  • you will have more disk space for the two operating systems work with
  • less convenient, because you will need to have the external drive to use OS 2

• run Mavericks desktop under Snow Leopard?

  Hello

  I have 3.1.3 Fusion running on my MacBook Pro with OS X 10.6.8. I hesitate to take the free Apple to the Mavericks update because I'm perfectly happy with my OS and I don't want to suddenly have a whole bunch of updates of music dear to perform. But I need to do a little test of some sw in Mavericks. So I thought I would create a virtual machine using my OS x 10.6.8 install disc supplied with my MacBook and then let Apple upgrade the virtual machine to the Mavericks. But the merger just sort of recognizes the DVD, it seems - he knows it's an OS X installation disc, but it doesn't give me that versions of the operating system to choose in the drop-down list server (and if I choose one and go ahead, the virtual machine does not start).

  So, my question is, how to get a desktop Mavericks OS on a virtual machine running on a host of Snow Leopard? I don't mind paying to upgrade to Fusion if it is a path to the solution, I don't want upgrade if it does not get me where I'm going.

  Thanks for any advice you can offer,

  Warren

  Well, a lot of problems with it.  You cannot virtualize 10.6.8 copy that came with your computer for two reasons: first, only the commercial versions of Mac OS x (not those that come with the computer) can be virtualized under the EULA.  Secondly, only 10.6.8 Server versions can be virtualized under this particular EULA (i.e. a changed with later versions).  You can buy a copy of 10.6.8 Server edition of apple by phone for about $20 (or at least you might a few months ago, but you can't upgrade the host operating system and have all the baggage of running server.)

  You could download installer 10.9 and create a new machine virtual own from scratch, but there are a couple of other challenges: Fusion 3 supports virtualization 10.9.  You may need to level and later what to do, can not run on 10.6.8.  It is also probably a violation of the EULA to virtualize 10.9 on 10.6.8 (edition of the same server), and it will not work even if your machine does not natively support 10.9.  You might also encounter issues if you have a Core 2 Duo machine (most of the vintage 10.6 machines are like that) - since it has only two hearts and 10.9 VM require 2 hearts are working properly, you'll be starving the host for CPU cycles.

  Since 10.6.8 is outdated and is no longer supported by Apple (not even security - patches if you are high risk on the Internet), one possible option is to upgrade the OS host to 10.9 (even once, assuming that the machine can be improved), upgrade to buy Fusion 6 (or 7 to be released soon), the 10.6.8 apple license and create a 10.6.8 VM (which should have only a single core) for the old programs you don't want to update.

  Otherwise, the only real option is to dual-boot from an external drive or a partition of the internal drive - a partition for 10.9 and 10.6.8 and boot back and forth between them.  This one, you can do with the license 10.6.8 customer provided with your machine.  But make sure you have a very good backup - and no time machine (it was notorious for silent corruption in the pre versions 10.7 and VM backup is not good at all).  I recommend Carbon Copy Cloner of www.bombich.com to create a complete clone.  You might even clone the machine on an external drive, then upgrade this clone to 10.9 (assuming that other software licenses are not violated with two installs of course).

• Mavericks upgrade to Snow Leopard

  Hello

  I have a user on creative and recently updated cloud update of Snow Leopard for the Mavericks. We noticed his æ CC started acting slow and unresponsive and finally fails or requires at least a Force Quit, and then restart.

  I can confirm us has done all the necessary Apple software upgrades as well as use creative cloud Manager to confirm that his æ is fully updated.

  Does anyone know if there is a conflict with AE CC and the Mavericks?

  Thank you in advance.

  Jordan

  Use creative cloud Manager to confirm that his æ is fully updated.

  Can you confirm for me that his computer is now running AE CC 12.2?

• Perils of update for Snow Leopard

  I have an early 2009, core 2 duo 2.66 ghz running 10.6.8.  People tell me that Snow Leopard is the latest really stable os than apple is putting out, but I would like to upgrade.

  With can the upgrade of the system how I go?  I know that El Capitan is out, but the MAvericks would be ok?

  What are the problems could I meet if I leave Snow Leopard?  Breaks down?  Slowdowns?

  Thank you

  Welcome to Apple Support communities

  If your product is correct (this means that you have an iMac early 2009), you can go as far as OS X El Capitan.

  If you look in the Internet, you will probably see a lot of people complain about performance issues with modern versions of OS X I have been using OS X for Mac OS X Snow Leopard, and I have no problem with any OS X version. Moreover, I consider OS X El Capitan as one of the most stable versions, even in older computers (I am running it on a late 2009 iMac, which is similar to your computer).

  You shouldn't be too worried about accidents or slow, but more on the compatibility of the application. Old apps is not compatible with OS X El Capitan (for example, Mac OS X Snow Leopard is the last version that supports PowerPC applications), so first check that all your applications are supported. Their update to the latest version available is a way, but there are Web sites that allow you to check that, as RoaringApps-> http://roaringapps.com

  Apart from this, make a backup of your entire system before the upgrade. In doing so, you'll be able to format your Mac, to reinstall OS X and restore what you want in case of accidents or poor performance, so your Mac will run correctly.

• MacBook (13-inch aluminum, Late 2008) cannot install snow leopard

  So I'll try to fix computer for my mother, it's a MacBook (13-inch aluminum, Late 2008).  He was running very slowly so I did a factory of resets and tried to install a copy of snow leopard on it.  When I try to install it on my hard drive it says "Mac OS X does not have this disc."  The symbol for the hard drive has a yellow! sign on it (if it matters).

  (1) my question is what can I do to install the OS on this?

  Mavericks - OS would not install, I tried this right after the factory restore.

  -Unfortunately I can't eject the disc either-

  (2) that it has to do with my drive hard and how can I test that?

  Whence it the Snow Leopard disc? You must use a copy of Snow Leopard retail. You can buy Snow Leopard at the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (US). The price is $ 19.99 plus tax. You will receive a physical media by mail after placing your order.

  Snow Leopard erase and install

  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, 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.

• Where can I find a downloadable update and secure (from Snow Leopard 10.6.8) for my office iMac?

  First of all, forgive me if I'm not on any computer jargon as you young people are.  And I don't know the details of the operation of the computer.  If possible, I just need simple answers or solutions to my need.  Terms like "segregation" and stuff like which are wasted on me.  I have an old desktop computer Apple iMac 2008 model.  Running Safari Version 5.1.10 (6534.59.10) - I love my Safari.  My computer and some sites that I try to access from time to time tell me that my server is obsolete.  I guess that means I need an upgrade.  About 6 months ago, I've upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 using a disc that I bought at the Apple store for some time ago.  Recently, I added all of the 6 GB of memory (live RAM) so I have enough memory to upgrade.

  I don't want to take a giant to El Capitan step and risk problems.  I know 10.7 Lion is no longer available, but perhaps Cougar 10.8 10.9 Maverick is somehow available for download.

  Download codes for 10.7 and 10.8 Mountain Lion Lion are available on the Apple Store online.

  If you need specifically Mavericks 10.9 or Yosemite 10.10, go into a physical Apple store and ask.

  Any upgrade of the operating system can cause problems. Back up your data and control your applications for compatibility first.

• How can I create a bootable USB of OSX Snow Leopard on a MacBook with El Capitan?

  HI there, the hard drive failed on my MacBook unibody aluminum end 2008. a couple of years ago, I put in 8 GB of RAM so my thought has been that it is not yet time to entirely replace the MacBook. I replaced the drive HARD failed with a 500 GB compatible hard drive. I tried and failed to install El Calitan via a bootable USB key, because my machine is too old. I just ordered a copy of the Snow Leopard DVD on the Apple store. I wonder how I can install snow leopard on my computer, given that the DVD player on this subject does not? I am able to create a Version bootable USB of Snow Leopard on MacBook for my roommate? He is running to El Capitan. Could someone explain if this is possible and if so, how?

  Thanks in advance!

  If his MacBook has a DVD player and 2 computers have the correct wiring, try the target disk Mode.

• 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.
