Can I install Snow Leopard on my iMac14, 4 (mid-2014)?

• Can I install Snow Leopard on a Mac Mini 2008

  Hello.

  I have a Mac Mini 2008 with the info printed on the envelope:

  Mini Mac 2.53/2X2G/320/SDI/AP/BT

  Model no. A1283 2008

  I tried to install Snow Leopard using the gray installation disc supplied with my Macbook Pro.

  It didn't work, probably because the drive is linked to my MBP (I guess).

  So now I think ordering setup of Snow Leopard on the Apple store instead:
  http://www.Apple.com/shop/product/MC573Z/A/Mac-OS-x-106-Snow-Leopard

  But I'm not 100% sure if the previous failure, I had was really just because of the gray drive or the Mac Mini 2008 does not support Snow Leopard.

  Hope someone can give me the answer, so I'm not an unnecessary purchase.

  Thank you!

  This is because the gray disc is specific to your model of MacBook Pro. Any Mac that has an Intel processor, at least 1 GB of RAM and running 10.4 or 10.5 can run 10.6.

• Format and install Snow Leopard on Mac Mini

  Hello

  • I have a Mac Mini
  • Using boot camp, I have a Win10 partition which is now, the entire hard drive.  Really.
  • I have the installation of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.3) DVD
  • I directly connect the optical drive and a wired keyboard to the system
  • Start by pressing the [CTRL] key.
  • Download the white screen with the Apple logo in the middle of it.
  • .. then nothing.  He's here.  After 10 minutes, I pull the plug and restart the Windows partition and return to the slaughter of these discussion forums for clues.

  Issues related to the:

  1. How do I FORMAT and INSTALL Snow Leopard on the Mac Mini or m, I was too impatient after the [Ctrl] restart using the OS X DVD? 
  2. Is there an external utility that I should get to format the drive?
  3. I can do this in steps - can I install OS X on an external HD and then use it for the crater / rebuild the primary drive?

  Input greatly appreciated!

  usually it is booting by pressing the C key to start from the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive.

  or start by pressing the Option key to get a list of the bootable devices that you can choose from.

  See <Startup for Mac - Apple Support combinations>

  NOTE: This does not imply that you run your Mac mini Snow Leopard.  I guess that your wording she used to run Snow Leopard, and that your Mac mini still has a DVD/CD player are good signs.

• Re-install Snow Leopard to a notice of Imac I3 mid-2010?

  Hello

  I have already received some good answers in another thread, but it had a different title, so I thought that I post here and maybe some members will more experience with this:

  I just bought a used Imac which is currently being shipped to me.  Here are the specs: mid-2010 21.5 inches screen, model A1311, series: W8114294DAS, Intel Core I3 3.06 ghz processor.

  He will come running to El Capitan, but they advised me to wipe the drive and reinstall the original operating system, which is the snow leopard, and then upgrade from there to El Capitan, with my own Apple ID. However, it seems to be difficult with this particular model. If the computer is initially supplied with Snow Leopard 10.6.4. My drive of detail might not work for the re - install.  I was told that Apple would be able to ship me a custom. I've also read about yet another thread that maybe these models came with a slightly different version of Snow Leopard, and this is why the retail CD may not work, even if the computer came with version 10.6.3. and it would be better to get a custom. Is this true?

  Then there may be a problem with an update of the firmware that the computer may or may not have and which could cause problems (not allow Snow Leopard install at all, or instead to install Lion). Is it possible to say if he had this update and maybe disable it before attempting to erase and install Snow Leopard?

  Does anyone have advice/stories to share before I actually try it? Or what would be the best way to go about this? I thought that I would try my SL CD detail first, and I hope that it will work. Otherwise, I could order the CD on measure and try this one. If I can't erase, at least I didn't damage, but what happens if I erase the disc, but then failed to install Snow Leopard? I was left with a blank computer. Or I would be able to install it once the disc has been erased?

  Someone also said using SuperDuper may erase the disc elsewhere or at least to make a back-up? I have not used before. There is no personal information on the computer again, I would try to re - install before anything else, so I just need a way to install El Capitan under my Apple ID, then I'll be able to install updates, or even a new operating system, as it becomes available.

  Is there a risk to try to use my SL CD detail if it allows me to erase and install (such as the installation of the 'wrong' version of Snow Leopard)?

  Here is the link to the original thread: purchases used Imac tips?

  Thanks for any idea!

  You can try this much easier.

  1 - Connect to App store with your apple ID.

  2 - install download 10.11 - he will say that you have already installed just 10.11 to proceed.

  3. create a usb installation program.

  4 - start the installer - erase hard drive and install a clean copy of 10.11

  5. place the iMac with your apple ID.

• Three beeps when trying to install snow leopard

  Hey guys, this imac has el capitan, I am trying to reinstall snow leopard but I get 3 beeps. This research, I came across info suggesting either bad ram or I'm going to need at least a 10.6.7 to a flash drive as suggested in this thread here: three beeps when trying to install snow leopard

  I have the original disc from apple with 10.6.3. Possible to use this disc or my only option would be to try to get an OS x 10.6.7 on a USB? If so, I just found the 10.6.7 here: *.

  I have it on my windows desktop. I guess my next step should be to install on a bootable flash drive. So yes, I have a 16 gb flash drive that I use for windows, do I need to reformat for mac first and then copy the dmg file downloaded to it?

  < link published by host >

  You're right, three beeps point to a problem with the RAM. The first thing to do is to remove and reinstall ensure that it is firmly in place. If not, then replace the RAM, if you bought it from Crucial or OWC then the RAM has a lifetime warranty.

• I have a mac 2009 i (late), I want again to install snow leopard (I have the disc), but my driver disk is broken! So I want to ask if there is a way to create a disk image of my windows pc to use it through the hard drive of my imac Lord?

  External DVD USB drives are cheap. Usually $20 for a good quality player. Just buy one of these at Best Buy or another store and use it to install Snow Leopard. Then you also have a drive for something else that you have on the disk.

• 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

• 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.

• Photosmart C4580 wireless problems after installing Snow Leopard

  Hello

  I recently installed the new Snow Leopard on my macbook to see I have printer problems.  I tried to uninstall the HP printer and reinstall.  I can print if I connect with my USB, but I can't make it work wireless.  When I try to print wireless, printing opens and tries to print.  Then I get an error message saying that my printer is offline.  How can I make 'online '.  This error message disappears when I plug in the USB cable.

  I would really like my printer works as well as it did before Snow Leopard.  Maybe that's not possible, but I would at least the option of wireless printing.  I've been waiting with the help of HP for 20 min. twice and finally abandoned.  Any help anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you very much.

  LSteph

  Isteph: The main reason for you trouble is that you send the job thanks to a USB print queue configured. Each queue on a Mac is specific to a single connection method. Printer offline is the Mac error, which means the cable is not connected (of course it wouldn't be).

  To fix this: open your menu Apple - system preferences - Print & Fax. Use the 'negative' at the bottom of the column to remove from the queue for this device. Click on the "plus" sign to search a new queue. You want to add a queue of bonjour for wireless connections. If a queue of Hello is not displayed then PrintDocs instructions above may help you to re-associate the printer to the network.

• Can I run Snow Leopard with the latest version of VMware Fusion on a MacBook Pro for mid-2012?

  I have a Snow Leopard install disc (version 10.6.3), but my MacBook Pro for mid-2012 allow me to install it.  Is this possible using the latest version of VMware Fusion?

  If it is a commercial version of Mac OS X 10.6.3 Snow Leopard Server not Client, then Yes.

• Having difficulties to install Snow Leopard Server on Fusion 4

  I upgraded from Fusion 3 to 4. I want to use the merger to run Snow Leopard Server under Leo, so I use a few applications of Rosetta. When I try to install SLS from the disc, it starts and stops with the message:

  "The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system.

  Power off or reset the virtual machine.

  Im trying to install on a MacBook Pro i7 quad core 8 GB of RAM. The merger is the version 4.0.1

  What should I do?

  Thanks in advance,

  Bill White

  Hi Bill,

  You should be able to install and configure 10.6.3 on the Core 2 Duo Mac Mini.  If you were to then move it as-is on the MBP, it fails at startup in the same way that you see with the installation program now... however... If, although the host of Core 2 Duo, you apply each update is available via software update, turn off the prompt, then move it into the Core i7, there is a good chance that it will work (I think 10.6.8 supports your Core i7 CPU)...  Definitely worth a shot.

  See you soon,.
