• 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  My computer and some sites that I try to access from time to time tell me that my server is obsolete.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.

• bad mod_jrun22.so architecture (CF9 and MAMP on Snow Leopard/Lion

  I tried to set up a local development environment on the computers of my Snow Leopard and Lion.

  I think that I have problems with the connectors, but the solutions that I have found online have not solved the problem. (The GUI was not able to create connectors for me either).

  I get this error:

  15/09/12 10:36:47.104 PM [0 x 0-0xe00e].de.appsolute.MAMP: httpd: syntax error on line 549 of the /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf: cannot load /Applications/ColdFusion9/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/mod_jrun22.so into server: dlopen (/ Applications/ColdFusion9/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/mod_jrun22.so, 10): no image suitable found.  Don't have find:\n\t/Applications/ColdFusion9/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/mod_jrun22.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture

  And I am unable to start Apache (MAMP) after you have manually added the following to my httpd.conf file:

  I read that there were problems with the Lion, but I get the same results with Snow Leopard.

  I also extracted wsconfig wsconfig.jar two different files and extract the installer of ColdFusion9.

  Then someone has additional ideas on what direction take in order to create an environment are local?

  Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  In fact, I had this problem last night. It seems that CF9 came not delivered with the 64-bit Apache connector.  I downloaded from here: http://www.scottpinkston.org/Downloads/mod_jrun22_64.zip (compiled by a developer, I know and I hope).

  Replace the /Applications/ColdFusion9/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/mod_jrun22.so

  Restart ColdFusion and Apache.

  If this does not work, then you must go through the process of the soul that I did.

  1. remove the JRun Apache httpd.conf config

  2 remove the wsconfig/1 folder

  3 al ' / ColdFusion9/runtime/lib/copy wsconfig.jar

  4 rename the jar copied in wsconfigfiles.zip

  4 unzip this archive, you will then have a folder called wsconfigfiles

  5. in this folder create this folder path wsconfigfiles/connectors/apache/intel-macosx64/pass-fail

  6. copy the new mod_jrun22.so you downloaed above in the prebuilt folder

  7. and then return to the wsconfigfiles folder and create a new wsconfig.jar with the command in the next step

  8 jar - FCM-META-INF/MANIFEST. Wsconfig.jar MF *.

  9. YOU do the command above in the wsconfigfiles folder

  10. you will now have a new wsconfig.jar inside wsconfigfiles.  Use this file to replace the file wsconfig.jar in/lib/runtime/ColdFusion9 / (create a backup of the original, just in case)

  11 restart CF

  12 since/ColdFusion9/runtime/lib/executes the command in the next step

  13 sudo java-jar wsconfig.jar

  14. use the Web server configuration tool to configure a connection to apache

  15 should work. Reboots may be required.

  Good luck

• Relocation of Snow Leopard on an iMac Mid-2011

  I recently bought a used iMac for my daughter (27 mid-2011 "Core i7, 3.4 GHz) who's been upgraded to El Capitan. I want to set up as a dual-boot machine, with a small Snow Leopard partition so that it can run some old but still useful PowerPC under Rosetta software. (Snow Leopard is the operating system provided with this iMac, so there should be no material inconsistency.) I have not received no installer discs with the iMac, but have an installer for Snow Leopard DVD I bought for updating an iMac of 2006 now-dead Leopard.

  When I insert the DVD, the installation icon has an 'X' through it and will not start, and the Setup icon is dimmed in the System Preferences/Startup Disk window. If I try to start the iMac from the installation disc, I get a kernel panic and do a forced shutdown. I'm guessing that El Capitan (and probably earlier who succeeded Snow Leopard) defines something in the PRAM or elsewhere which prevents the installation of an older operating system. Further, I guess the only way to get around this is to reformat the discs (it has a HD and SSD) and start with Snow Leopard on a machine "blank." (Other that the hassle, I have no problem doing this, as I still customize Mac.)

  Someone can confirm this conjecture, or suggest a simpler approach?

  Apples are animals different from Windows systems.  Machines designed for a version of the operating system cannot run a version prior to the exception in a virtual machine.

  My * early *-2011 MBP came with 10.6.7, but the "detail disk" is 10.6.3.  My machine cannot boot from the drive of retail.

  Please call 1-800-APL-CARE, give them (not us in the free gallery) serial number, pay $20 for processing or shipping to get copies of the original installation discs.

  Latest drivers installed

  Scanning does not work with preview or Capture of Image or the HP-Scan utility. Overview analysis always selects a portion of the A4 page even when the option is not checked. Is this a bug in the driver, or is there a workaround?

  You can try to uninstall HP in this way:

  Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard / click Uninstall HP
  Click on continue
  Highlight your device in the left pane
  Hold down the Ctrl and Opt Cmd and click on uninstall
  There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall all hp software. (At this point, if you continue, all HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
  Click on continue and let it finish

  Now run a software update.

  Then, remove and reinstall the printer in System Preferences, Print & Fax.

  You do not have the software now since Snow Leopard as well print & scan drivers built-in. scan from Preview apps or Image Capture. Scan from the front panel of the printer does not work yet.

• IPhoto 9.2.3 on Snow Leopard and direct upgrade to El captain

  Hi guys,.

  I'm under iPhoto 9.2.3 on Snow Leopard and want to move to El captain.

  I have read that I need iPhoto 9.6.1 until I upgrade to El Captain so I still want to use iPhoto.

  Problem is that 9.2.3 is the latest available version of iPhoto on Snow Leopard, so I'm stuck here somehow.

  I had a quick glance under the items purchased on the app store, but since my iLife came with a DVD and therefore not bought for download, I guess it will never reveal under the items purchased.

  So I also assume that as soon as I upgrade to El Captain, iPhoto does not open and I won't be able to update iPhoto to 9.6.1

  Does anyone have an idea on how I could always upgrade level to El captain and stick to iPhoto?

  Thank you!

  A member of the family has iPhoto installed 9.6.1, so they could install it for you on your Mac?

  Otherwise, you can refresh only with the help of the Support App Store, but they are very reluctant to help if iPhoto has not been purchased on the App Store.

  One way to continue to work with iPhoto would be to create a clone your mac to an external drive bootable and boot into snow leopard since the external hard drive, if you wish to continue using iPhoto.

  But in the long run, switch to Photos for Mac.  Apple improves Photos for Mac with each update of the system.  iPhoto is becoming less and less supported. Maps and locations are no longer supported in iPhoto 9.4.3 or earlier, Apple is more does not support printing for iPhoto projects, latest applications can appear more the iPhoto library in the media browser.

• OfficeJet 6500 on Snow Leopard, scanning and fax questions

  I finally got my wireless 6500 printer to print with Snow Leopard, but I can't scan or fax.  I contacted Applecare about this and they could not solve the problem.  These functions have been works fine under Leopard, but disappeared with Snow Leopard.  I read on an Apple forum that these functions will not work with Snow Leopard.  Is there a solution?  HP will address this issue in the near future?  All the world is facing this problem?  Help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

  Bill

  Hello BillWilb,

  Printing and scanning for the Officejet 6500 functions are fully supported in Snow Leopard.   You want to use the software that is included in 10.6, please do not use the old Leopard software.

  This document will give you simple instructions on how to scan and print from Snow Leopard.

  I hope this doc gets going again.

• Snow Leopard update to El Capitan

  I need to upgrade my imac of El Capitan of Snow Leopard desktop (end 2008) 10.6.8 version. Read these forums useful to get advice, I do not understand some of the info/advice.

  I've been deleting old files and currently have 10.5 MB of available storage on the hard disk, the original mac hard drive.

  I have a 3 to backup (WD My Book for Mac) hard drive installed.

  Recently, I added 2 GB of memory for a total of 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRam.

  1. the same cloning to backup?

  2. If I have everything backed up on the external hard drive that automatically includes the old (current Snow Leopard) OS in case I need to go back or to be saved/cloned separately because I have seen recommended in the forums?

  3 partitioning?

  I read the recommendations to do a clean installation of El Capitan.

  Can I do this on the external hard drive?

  4 it is necessary to copy the old Snow Leopard and new El Capitan, as recommended, something about installing quit and dragging to the desktop.

  5 How long take to upgrade about once I start to download El Capitan?

  All the other advice that I missed would be greatly appreciated.

  Forgive me if I ask too many questions at a time. My problem to understand how to do without creating new problems is to find all the info in one place.

  And thanks to all those who help the rest of us who do not know these things.

  1. a backup copy of all of your computer includes all visible files but you would not be able to boot from it. A clone of the exact state of the hard drive backup and you can boot from it, or clone back again to restore a previous state. It is strongly recommended that you can return to Snow Leopard if you really pretty easily.

  2. Yes, if you make a clone.

  3 n ° operation of an external drive is slower. I should not do a clean install, because it will be wiping and after restore, your HDA drive. Partitioning, if you have enough space, may allow you to have both the old and new configurations available quickly, but it should not be necessary.

  4. this suggestion applies to the El Capitan installer that, left alone, will clear itself after installation. If you want to install on another machine is also good when you should leave as soon as it starts to install it and copy it to another location so that it remains available. None of this applies to Snow Leopard, which cannot be installed on disk.

  5. the download depends on your internet speed, and also how fast the server responds. I don't know about actual installation, but overall you must allow several hours.

• Using Snow Leopard 10.6.8

  Hi Gang

  In what concerns a friend MA877LL iMac update to 'Maverick' and having many gels and other pending issues, I'm going to reformat and return to Snow Leopard. Note that this person uses not all professional applications of any kind. She would like to go back and use the mail program and the version of Safari initially provided with this iMac about 9 year.

  It has all the original disks and save anything necessary.

  I'm quite familiar with the process of reformatting but have a few questions about 10.6.8:

  Considering that Apple takes more support for Snow Leopard, there are still many people out there who are satisfied using 10.6.8. I just want to know if there are questions of possible "Head Up" as for safety, Safari, e-mail within 10.6.8 client or something else?

  Y at - it an available (in 10.6.8) update of Safari , which could add a security if it's a problem? Or maybe install Mozilla for Mac would be beneficial somehow?

  Thank you!

  Mike

  Currently, there are now a large number of sites that require new versions of Safari. This requires the upgrade of OS X, which is not possible with some 2007 models: iMac (mid-2007 or newer) - model identifier 7.1 or later. To find the identifier of the model open system information in the Utilities folder. It is displayed in the Panel on the right.

  If erase you the drive, you will need to install Snow Leopard in order to further improve. This means that it must have a copy of the retail DVD of Snow Leopard. If it is that: 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.

  After the installation of Snow Leopard you will need to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Combo Update v1.1 update Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.

  It can download El Capitan or Mavericks. The Mavericks can be found in the purchase page of the App Store, where she is the re - download. El Capitan would be a new download.

  Please see the following: basic steps for the OS X upgrade, How to install or reinstall OS X on your Macor upgrade to OS X El Capitan.

• 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.

• 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

  How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support . I don't know if it will work because I tried twice more than the snow leopard. Keep us updated on how it happened.

• HP Photosmart C4680 scanning problems with Snow Leopard

  I have a HP Photosmart C4680 All in one printer/scanner

  Since upgrading my imac (early 2009 model) to Snow Leopard I have had problems printing and scanning

  My scanner has never worked since the upgrade

  printing has been uneven at best, but seems to be more reliable in the last week or two, since I downloaded the hp apple update the driver through the printing software update on my mac.

  I deleted and reinstalled the driver several times

  but nothing works

  whenever I try to scan something my printer, the hp scanning software begins to open on my imac, and their broken quickly

  If I try to open the program to scan my iMac, it crashes

  Help!

  I need to be able to use the scanner

  That is why in the first place, I bought the printer/scanner combo

  You must run the cleaner, if the question of fixing is not a standard uninstaller program.

  Uninstall in itself is not always solve the problem, so there is a 'scrubber' in the software that really cleans things out.*Note * run this will remove all software that has been installed, HP so you will need to reinstall all other HP printers that you have configured.

  Go to Applications/library/Hewlett Packard / click Uninstall HP

  Click on continue

  Highlight your device in the left pane

  Hold down the Ctrl and Opt, as well as Apple and click on uninstall

  There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall all hp software.  (At this point, if you continue, all HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled, this is why we do not run this thing all the time)

  Click on continue

  Let the brosseuse it is.

  After that, add your C4680 with printing and fax and let the operating system to search for updates and others. If it asks you if you want to download them, accept you.

  Who should take care of it.

• Leopard MacBook pro late 2008 - updated to update to snow leopard

  I have a macbook pro late 2008 with leopard on updated to snow leopard, which is the best upgrade, that I can do without problems?

  I upgraded to 8 GB memory and 500 GB MMX 200 ssd.  tTe upgrade was necessary because I installed el capitan and he absolutely killed my mac, so I got the diagnostics to find my drive was not hard.

  I'll reinstall leopard and use my snow leopard updated, but to what extent until I can go without problems over?

  In theory, it must be able to handle El Capitan. You can't really judge El Capitan performance enough if you ran it on a bad HARD drive.

  Your only real options stay with Snow Leopard, goes to the mountain, which is still fairly recent, Lion or El Capitan.  I think most people would say that Lion (10.7) alone is not worthwhile.  Mavericks and Yosemite are no longer available unless you already have a copy.  Mountain Lion is no longer receiver update but is not a fall to the same extent (yet) by the developers of software under Snow Leopard.  Some claim that it is the operating system more acceptable from 10.6.  You can always buy a download code for it.
