• Cannot complete the Installation of Snow Leopard on MBP 2009

  Hello! just got a 2009 MBP, it ran very nice El Capitan, but I decided to downgrade to ensure best performance on older operating system.

  So I got this Snow Leopard DVD, everything was OK, then on the first boot, when you select the country/keyboard/account etc...

  at some point in these steps, MBP just freezes, pointer starts rolling in all the beautiful colors and nothing else. Also, a few minutes later MBP shuts.

  Should I mention that first I have deleted all the disk HARD, maybe isn't properly? On the first attempt to Snow Leopard could not begin installation, and then to recover, I think I did it right.

  Now every time MBP try to complete the installation of SL, but freezes.

  I can't go into Recovery Mode or Safe Mode, cmd + r / alt does not work no matter how faster I press on them.

  Any help? Please, I beg you!

  Cheers.

  There is no recovery mode installed with 10.6, so "can not enter Recovery" isn't a mystery.

  Boot from the DVD and check your hard disk with disk utility. If you wait one quarter minute after having responded to the 'what language?' question, the menu bar is displayed, all you can choose disk utility menu.

• Installation of Browser-Appliance in VMware Player 10.0

  Hello

  I am new to the use of vmware and I'm having hard installing 10.0 Firefox Browser-Appliance in VMware Player.  The problem is when I go to create a virtual machine and try to give a path where one can read '(iso) installation disc image file' but it comes up with "file not found" and "no operating system found".

  I even have difficulties to find the path when I unzip the file Browser-Appliance 10.0, I did successfully for a few months but when when I went once again I couldn't remember how to do it.

  Any advice will be highly appreciated.

  The browser is ready for use, so you don't need to "create" any virtual machine!
  Instead, once you have unpacked the 7 - zip package, you select 'Open a Virtual Machine "and find the file Browser - Appliance.vmx .

  Then click on 'Open' and finally 'play Virtual Machine '.

• Since the installation of Snow Leopard 10.6.1 No. LONGER CAN CONNECT

  Apple just released, and I installed the first update to Snow Leopard... 10.6.1

  Since this facility, I can connect is the Mac drives or folders that I pointed at in the shared folders

  I am running Windows XP pro...

  The shortcut on the virtual desktop can not find its target.

  If I double click on MY COMPUTER,.

  I see shared folders on the host VMARE

  If I then double click on the folder above, the message is: ' year error occurred reconnection Z for ".
  VMare-host\Shared records

  VMare shared folders: the network name cannot be found.

  This connection has not been restored.

  I have not changed anything since the upgrade to the latest version of the Fusion

  In fact, I have this problem on a regular basis under 10.5.8.  What I end up doing goes into setting up shared folders, configurations of my shared folder delete and re-enter it. It is generally good for a week until the problem recurs.

• Virtualize Snow Leopard

  I read a few posts on the subject to virtualize Snow Leopard, apologize me if I'm beat the dead horse, but I was wondering if it is possible...

  I have a new (refurbished) MBP running Mountain Lion.  My old MPB is also running a clean install of Mountain Lion...  The original operating system on my old MBP was Snow Leopard.  I want to use (I have the original DVD and the dmg) for some tests.  This will be used for internal Dev testing.  Not as a new machine.  For example, I need to test the connection to Active Directory MS (2003, 2008, 2012).  Snow Leopard is not installed on any computer, will not be on the virtual machine.

  Can I do a VM with installation?  So far, I've succumbed...  Or can I install SL onto an external USB drive and virtualize this disk to a virtual machine?

  thanx

  Apple's SLA for Snow Leopard (Client) does not allow to be virtualized, is not supported by VMware and discuss the illicit use of Snow Leopard (Client) is not allowed by the VMware Community terms of use.

  Who said recently, and I don't know if it is still available, you could buy Snow Leopard Server that can be virtualized to the United States and AUS for 19.99 + SH.  It is a phone order only.  Take a look at this thread for more details: running Snow Leopard in VMware on host Mountain Lion

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Upgrade to Snow Leopard and Time Machine

  Hello. I found this topic in an old topic, but it has been blocked so I couldn't answer. Here is a new.

  I have a fairly old MacBook Pro... mid-2007. Provided with Tiger. Upgrade to Leopard in 2010 or more. I want to now upgrade to Snow Leopard and make a complete installation where I have completely clean the existing hard drive.

  I did the Time Machine backups for about four years on my external hard drive. When I install Snow Leopard on my MBP, I can just do simple drag and drop the kind of things from my external hard drive on the hard drive of the MBP?

  For example, once I've erased the hard disk of the MBP and do a new installation of Snow Leopard, can I then connect my external hard drive, open a certain folder and something like Pages slide window of the HD to the window of the Applications on my MBP?

  Thank you!

  Drag and Drop could be a problem, because these applications and files will not be usable unless they are properly updated. It would be better to have a clean install of Snow Leopard and then use the Migration Assistant to transfer files from your Time Machine backup. Note that Snow Leopard will ship with the Apple apps so they do not need to be transferred. You can check with 3rd party developers to ensure the compatibility of their software and upgrade options.

  It is with the Migration Wizard:

  This article is useful, but a lot of your time, because he doesn't use Migration Wizard:

• PS CS4 almost unusable with snow leopard

  Installation of Snow Leopard.  Adobe ran uninstall for CS3, and then did a fresh install of CS4.  Downloaded all the updates.  When I open Photoshop, I get a constant flow of the same error message 'Could not complete your request because of a program error' screen attached.  It is pretty much unusable Photoshop.  I'm not having the same problems with Illustrator.  I work on a MacBook Pro w / 1.83 GHz Intel processor and 1.5 GB 667 Mhz memory.  If someone could help me suss the problem I would be eternally grateful.

  See you soon,.

• 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.

  Try a cleaning CD/DVD

  How to clean a Superdrive DVD using a credit card!

  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.

• iMac 27 "2010 super reader accepts the Snow leopard installation disc, but does not seem to sit in the car to allow their reading

  Tips anyone?

  I think you can find what you need in l http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-boot-snow-leopard-from-a-dvdrom.htm

  If who disobeys, then your drive may have problems.

  Further, create a clone bootable on an external HD. You will need either SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to make. Then, when you install a new HD, just boot from the clone and the format, the HD and restore the complete system of the clone.

• 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.
