• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Snow Leopard 10.6.8

  On my great desktop iMac now about 3 years I was happy until very recently, using gmail, and Apple mail. I chose to not pass beyond OS x 10.6.8 because this OSX allows me to use my Stylewriter venerable and faithful for printing: and I still have a dozen spare cartridges.

  The problem now is that Apple Mail and folders disappeared a month before. No sign an application of messaging in Applications index and found nothing, do a normal search. My listing of Applications index jumps from Onyx to Photo Booth.

  I tried to reinstall Snow Leopard using the 3 original disks that came with my iMac: DVD, iMac OS X installation to installation DVD Mac OS XSnow Leopard and iMac Applications installation DVD.

  But the mail is still missing.

  What should I do to retrieve the Apple's Mail application?

  GoogleMail works well on Google Chrome Firefox & - but I prefer layouts (missing) Apple by far.

• iPhoto was not installing with snow leopard

  I have an old 2007 MacBook on which I had to reinstall Snow Leopard.  I backed up, re-formatted, then re-installed to choose to NOT to reinstall the long list of software that I had had on the machine before.  When everything was done and I had recovered the data via the wizard migration, almost everything was back to normal, but has not installed iPhoto for some reason any.  How can I recover it?

  Install you from the original computer diskettes or an iLife DVD.

• Impossible to reinstall OS x El Capitan via the recovery

  10.11.2 OSX

  iMac 27 inch end of 2013

  3.5 GHz Intel Core i7

  NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2048 MB

  DDR3 4 GB 1600 MHz

  My iMac is buggy since upgrade to 10.11. Some programs crash frequently, and just recently, the system began to be insensitive, that needs to be forced to withdraw from the machine. Usually, when the system crashes like this, the mouse moves, but he will be.

  Twice on startup until I received the No. or prohibitive symbol showing no disk or operating system is not found.

  So, I tried a system restore to reinstall El Capitan. Everything went fine until I select the disc to install to. Then the system stops responding again once, completely frozen and I can without restoring.

  So I tried a restore from Time Machine early in the day. I think that would help, but do it anyway. It did not help, the system is still buggy.

  I ran the disk first aid.

  Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas? What's wrong? Of fact need the operating system reinstalled? Why restoration is stalling?

  Thank you!

  I think that you have a failed disk drive.

  Screen of Mac OS X - grey or prohibitory sign appears during startup

  Question (?) Mark, record of flashing or a gray screen at startup

  It's related, but not identical questions. Their causes are described in based on Intel Mac-Startup sequence and error codes, symbols. Solutions will be found in:

  A globe or a flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac

  Mac OS X - grey appears during startup

  In most cases problems can be caused by one or more of these:

  a. problem with the computer's PRAM - see reset the PRAM and NVRAM on your Mac.

  b. boot, directory of the drive has been corrupted - repair with disk utility.

  c. critical system files are corrupted or deleted - reinstall OS X.

  d. the hard drive is physically non-functional - replace the hard drive.

• HP Photosmart Premium c309a doesn't fully work with Snow leopard 10.6.1

  I don't see any answers in the Forum on my printer model, so here goes-

  The printer is configured for a wireless connection.

  Cannot get IPhoto to print on a photo plate, no matter how I play with the settings in the Menu print.  However, using the keypad of the printer, I can print from the photo tray color photos using a flash drive.

  IPhoto and other apps, IWork 09 and ILife 09 will print to main paper tray, but not in color.

  Using the keypad of the printer, I can copy and print from the glass in BW and color.

  Cannot use Scan function Scanpro HP or the Device Manager, but can scan and print photo tray and main tray (but no computer or a drive - error message says no link found.

  All reports - network wireless, Network Configuration, Fax, printer status, test and HP homepage, say all right.

  I used suggestions from HP website without result, and the very nice fellow HP Chat Line, Manuel, told me in English that I have to contact MicroSoft for help.   I found a Web page apparently new to Mac users (HP printing from a Macintosh 10.5) and HP Mac-connect, but they do not seem to be updated for Snow Leopard.

  I have reinstalled Snow Leopard, nothing helps.  I also tried the suggestion of Forum to use the option installs on my Snow Leopard disc, but when I go through the steps and software options are listed, the printer list shows zero KB and the 'Continue' button is grayed out.  No help there.

  I also used most often suggestions - unplug the printer, restart the computer, etc, nothing works.

  HP is still working for the full feature software and driver for C309a compatible with Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard). You can check on the HP Web site for updates. What you have there is just the base driver which is preinstalled on your pc.

• Impossible to reinstall PSE6 with snow Leapoard

  Under Snow leopard and PSE6 an iMac 27 ". Things seemed to work very well even if I'm not a frequent user. Last night I had uninstall some applications and accidentally uninstalled the update from Adobe. When I tried checking the updates with PSE6 he said I had to do a reinstall to be able to run the update. I uninstalled PSE6 and proceeded to a new installation. The installer went for about five minutes and then ejected the disk and an error poped saying some shared components have been installed but that PSE6 could not be installed. Any suggestions? I read another post on issues with SL, but none seem to have my particular problem. Thank you.

• How to uninstall El Capitan and replaces it with clone of Snow Leopard?

  I had a chance terrible execution El Capitan, including in connection with CS5. It takes (literally) 10 x more time to save a .tiff file in El Capitan, than that of Snow Leopard. I suspect much too many processes running in the background, which most is probably not necessary, but I don't know that for sure. Something is not.

  I have a clone perfect my Snow Leopard former plant and wonder if that can just be installed right on El Capitan, as when we do an update of the operating system, or do I have to erase the whole score first, then install clone?

  (I know, I'll then have browser problems, but...)

  Thank you very much

  Hi CFS88,

  Thanks for joining the communities Support from Apple. I see your message you need to restore your operating system Snow Leopard of El Capitan. I'm happy to help you!

  To install Snow Leopard on your system, you will need to use a snow leopard install DVD or disc of original installation if your Mac comes with Snow Leopard originally. Once you insert the disc, press and hold the C button it restarts and restart your Mac. This will allow you to boot from the installation disc. From there, you can use disk utility to wipe your drive and reinstall OS X. Once installation is complete, you can choose your preferred option to migrate your data to your Mac using the installation wizard.

  If you use Time Machine, you can restore from a backup Time Machine with installed thus 10.6:

  macOS Sierra: return to an earlier version of Mac OS

  See you soon!

• 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.
