Leopard-> Maverick?

Hello!
I have a MBP (macbook pro dual core 2007) and I had to do a clean install or the original (Leopard 10.5) software after some problems with the computer.

Now, I want to just catch up later or possible just to the maverick bone. I did all the updates through the computer and now he sends me to buy Snow Leopard to continue ($19 + stock). I can't find an update online more... There is a direct and less costly way to get updated without purchase step by step of each update or be mailed a software?

Unless you have a thumbdrive installation or can perform the installation through the target or NetInstall disk mode (this requires Mac OS X Server), you will need to install the latest operating system through Snow Leopard. Even if you are able to update without using Snow Leopard, he'll probably need to erase or repartitioning the internal drive.

  • 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.

    Open utility disk, select your hard drive (step 1), then the partition (step 2) tab and select the partition. 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
  • 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.

  • break-in Mavericks in Snow Leopard

    In April, I thought I spoke to by phone 6 Fusion vmware to virtualize my macbook 2009 end pro under snow leopard to a whole new macbook pro mavericks running by linking them with an ethernet cable after the installation of vmware.  The idea is that the machine of the snow leopard from 2009, with all its files and programs (so no need to reinstall the programs), virtualized on a brand new macbook pro mavericks, and I still have a 6 vmware fusion bookmark to a page which, in April, showed a diagram to connect two computers with a cable and saying it will now work with Snow Leopard to the Mavericks.  But now the link takes me to 7 merger with no diagram or information. I'm pretty sure that you can virtualize w / vmware an old windows xp pc to a new macbook pro installed Mavericks, but, as I said, since April, I really thought you could w / snow leopard too.  If no, what with snow leopard "Server" in a way that allows me to do what I want, without having to reinstall everything old software on the new macbook pro?

    Thank you.

    Stu22

    Hi Stu,

    SUMMARY:

    I have a number of programs that will not run on anything whatsoever beyond Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. I need to open old files, data search, etc. These applications include Eudora (e-mail), Microsoft Office 2004 (which can open old Word and Excel files correctly), X (graphic) of the canvas, 4 final (musical notation) and more. I have run these programs to a guest from VMware Fusion running Snow Leopard Server.

    Here are a few thoughts that may help you when you are considering what to do:

    SNOW LEOPARD SERVER ON YOUR CLIENT VMWARE, NOT SNOW LEOPARD "CLIENT":

    Snow Leopard Server is running as a guest virtual machine but not the regular 'customer' of Snow Leopard version. The license for the 'client' (non-server) Snow Leopard version does not allow it. In addition, VMware imposes this restriction and allows only of Snow Leopard Server. There are ways to hack around the restriction, but why bother when Snow Leopard Server is so cheap? (See below).

    BUY SERVER SNOW LEOPARD FROM APPLE FOR $20 TODAY:

    You can always buy Mac OS X Server 10.6. 3 REV 1 (Snow Leopard Server, unlimited clients license). The price is $ 19.99. Order it by calling the Apple Store at (800) 692-7753 and ask for part MC588Z/a number. not all sellers will recognize what you want and will be able to find it, but don't lose heart - try again. I called and checked that it is always available since last night, November 26, 2014. It comes with Installation and Admin Tools DVD.

    ALL YOUR PROGRAMS RUN ON SNOW LEOPARD SERVER:

    Any program that runs on Snow Leopard 'client' will run under Snow Leopard Server. If you ignore the server components, in fact, there is no real difference.

    YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CREATE A HOST SERVER SNOW LEOPARD ON THE NEW MAC:

    Some new Macs have problems installing Snow Leopard Server from the installation DVD in a VMware virtual machine. Basically, the Mac OS X 10.6.3 installer DVD does not contain drivers for the latest Mac hardware. If you have problems, you may need to create the virtual machine of Snow Leopard Server comments in VMware on an older Mac, install the latest Apple updates (for 10.6.8 version), and then copy it to your new computer. You must run the Apple updates first on the old machine, so that your comments of Snow Leopard Server will get the drivers it needs to run on your new MacBook Pro.

    CREATE THE SERVER SNOW LEOPARD ON YOUR OLD MACBOOK PRO CLIENT?

    Maybe you have a copy of VMware Fusion version 5 running on your old MacBook Pro 2009. VMware Fusion version 5 is the latest version of the Fusion that runs under Snow Leopard. Create new comments of Snow Leopard Server on the old MacBook Pro, update the customer newly created to 10.6.8 on the old MacBook Pro version, then copy the .vmwarevm file to the new MacBook Pro. (Do not forget to delete the comments on the old Mac after copy you it to the new Mac, if you plan to use the Migration Wizard).

    WHAT IT TAKES TO RUN ON YOUR NEW SNOW LEOPARD SERVER COMMENTS:

    If it were me, I would first ask myself, ' do I really want my EVERYTHING old 2009 MacBook Pro running in a VMware guest? My answer would be, "certainly not!" I would just install these applications relatively little (and associated data files) that will not work on the new MacBook Pro with the Mavericks (or Yosemite). I named a few examples of applications in my SUMMARY, above. From my own experience, I set up new comments of Snow Leopard Server manually - install the applications 'fresh' and then copy the data files on the accounts on the comments of Snow Leopard Server. Yes, this means the set up the preferences for each application, but it is clean and it works. For the rest of your MacBook Pro 2009 applications, get the current versions and run them on your new MacBook Pro "native". Create VMware Fusion folders shared to move files back and forth between your new MacBook Pro (Mavericks/Yosemite) and guest of Snow Leopard Server as needed.

    MIGRATION-RELATED ISSUES:

    Let's say you want to move the entire 2009 MacBook Pro to a guest of Snow Leopard Server. Frankly, if it were me, I manually install all applications and copy all the data. Certainly, it would take a lot of time and effort, but it's the safest way to give a satisfactory final result.

    An automated approach would be to use the Apple's Migration Assistant. My experience with the Migration Wizard was not good. Whenever I tried Migration Wizard (with real Mac!), there were problems. I hope that your experience will be better; in fact, much better (eeek!).

    FIRST MAKE A BACKUP OF THE FILE NEWLY CREATED SNOW LEOPARD SERVER GUEST!

    If you start over, why go through the hassle of installing Snow Leopard Server and apply all the Apple updates, when you can just copy the file .vmwarevm to a backup first? Hello? (If something is wrong, copy the backup file and try again.)

    A good thing: If you have the time and patience, you can try different approaches to see what works. If something does not work as you like it, remove the VMware client and try something different. Here are a few things to think about...

    HOW TO MIGRATE YOUR MACBOOK PRO 2009?

    Let's say you have decided to migrate your 2009 MacBook Pro set to a Snow Leopard VMware guest. Suppose you have created a guest of Snow Leopard and it works now on your new MacBook Pro. Here are some considerations and approaches:

    * USE CARBON COPY CLONE TO CLONE THE MACBOOK PRO 2009 TO AN EXTERNAL DRIVE?

    It's a good approach, but whatever you do will be VERY slow. Your MacBook Pro 2009 is compatible Firewire and USB 2.0. Your new MacBook Pro supports USB 3.0 (also 2.0) and Thunderbolt.

    FireWire is reasonably fast, but I've never seen an external Firewire drive which also has USB 3.0. External FireWire drives seem to have USB 2.0 only, which would be VERY slow attached to your guest of Snow Leopard Server. You can try to use a Thunderbolt/Firewire interface, but then you would have to treat it as a shared folder in VMware and exploring uncharted territory when it comes to file copy using Migration Wizard.

    In addition, I read complaints about the reliability of the Apple's Thunderbolt/Firewire interface. Maybe the problems have been fixed by now, but I don't know that I would trust that I could get a reliable copy of something far greater than a Mac together.

    * USE CARBON COPY CLONE (OR DISK UTILITY) TO MAKE A DISK IMAGE OF YOUR MACBOOK PRO 2009 FILE?

    An advantages of a disk image, it is that when it is copied to your new MacBook Pro, you can try to get Migration Assistant to work in different ways, based on conservation of the Snow Leopard Server prompt if you want to erase and start over. It will take a lot of disk space, however.

    You still have questions and a few tests before. You could get a Thunderbolt/Firewire interface, put your 2009 MacBook Pro in target disk Mode and use Carbon Copy Cloner or Apple disk utility to create a disk image file of it on your new MacBook Pro. (I would use CCC).

    The disk image and the host VMware files can be very large. You have enough disk space?

    You can create a disk image of the 2009 MacBook Pro on an external drive. Use Carbon Copy Cloner (or disk utility), but keep in mind the performance and reliability issues I described above.

    * RUN ON ETHERNET MIGRATION ASSISTANT?

    You alluded to this approach in your original post. Here is a link to a web page from Apple describing the process. Again, I think you will be pioneer territory unexplored here for the rest of us. Good luck! :-)

    http://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT4413

    If you decide to try the approach of Ethernet, then think about what follows:

    -Use Gigabit ethernet if you can. Otherwise, connect the two Macs. If you do not, copy speeds will be very slow.

    -You will probably need Network Adapter of the client server Snow Leopard VMware (VMware guest settings) in Bridged Networking mode.

    -If you connect the two Macs, you have to give (dedicated) fixed IP addresses on the same "subnet". It's three addresses IP - one for the 2009 MacBook Pro, one for the new MacBook Pro and the other for the Snow Leopard Server prompt. Go to the network settings in their respective system preferences. Don't forget to write their first original settings and put things back once the migration is complete.

    Common example IP set for you to use:

    192.168.0.250, 192.168.0.251 and 192.168.0.252; Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 router (gateway): 192.168.0.1

    192.168.1.250, 251, 252; Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 router (gateway): 192.168.1.1

    10.0.1.250, 251, 252; Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0; Router: 10.0.1.1

    I hope you have a lot of time and patience. Happy troubleshooting! Good luck!

  • 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).

  • No copy/paste with VMWare 6.0.2 (on the Mavericks 10.9.2) of the Snow Leopard Server 10.6.8?

    I'm running the free demo for 30 days of VMware. Will buy if working copy (of the text).

    Everything else is remarkable!

    I checked the 'preference enable Mac OS keyboard shortcuts host.

    I restarted the emulated system.

    I can't copy and paste to work.

    I see that others seem to have 'lost' copy/paste when the upgrade to the Mavericks 10.9.2 (which I have),

    or upgraded their VMWare to 6.0.2 (which is all I ever had).

    Although I bypassed the Mavericks, as well as the Lion and Mountain Lion; jump directly from 10.6.8 to 10.9.2.

    I guess the free version of VMware of full of features and has not paralyzed cut / paste.

    No idea what could be the problem?

    What you download is fully functional version that technically it is there no trial version!  The only thing different between what you downloaded and what is bought is the license.

    Have you installed VMware Tools in the comments?

    What VMware Fusion 6.0.3 is available for download, you can always try this one.

  • MacBook 2008 El Capitan or Mavericks

    I buy a refurbished Macbook 2008. This is a screen of 13.3 "with 2.4 GHZ. I have a selection of El Capitan, Yosemite or Mavericks. Should I go with the Mavericks or El Capitan? I have a friend who has upgraded to El Capitan with his 2008. I also heard some of those who have said that they will never switch to El Capitan and will stay with the Mavericks. Since I have this choice, choose El Capitan or Maverick? I basically will use this laptop for Keynote presentations. It would be nice to go on the Internet searching for information required for presentations. Thanks for the help! Bookman

    I guess that your Macbook is a fine model of 2008.

    Unless you had some Mavericks, installed in another computer and it is in your App store account, you won't be able to use it because it is no longer available.  This soul El Capitan is your only choice.

    Since this Macbook is new to you, you will need to install the original OS x (Leopard) or Snow Leopard to get the Macbook associated with your Apple ID.  This is necessary so that you can install updates (including the OSX)

    You will need this disk:

    http://www.Apple.com/shop/product/MC573Z/A/Mac-OS-x-106-Snow-Leopard

    Then run the Combo of Snow Leopard update:

    This moment will allow you to install the Mavericks (assuming that you have a copy of your App Store account) or El Capitan.

    Note that if you have a PowerBook under Leopard, so you cannot override. If you have a real MacBook or MacBook Pro, then you have other options. But you have not provided sufficient or correct information to help you.

  • Cannot run the installation of the mavericks

    I am trying to upgrade an old iMac running OS X 10.5. ?. I installed snow leopard and ran the update is now at 10.6.8. I had a copy of the Mavericks install on another system then I copied as the old iMac. When I run it, I get the following:

    "This copy of the Mavericks install OS X cannot be verified. "It may have been corrupted or altered during the download.

    I know that this facility has run on the machine, that I copied it from. I also tried to run an installation of El Capitan of a file and got the same message.

    I did go to the app store and try to download the upgrade from there, but it gave me another error I'll put in a separate post.

    I would be very happy to help

    Thank you

    Install both applications belong to your Apple ID or another Apple ID? If the latter, then you must use a copy of your Apple ID. You will not be able to download the Mavericks but you can download El Capitan. However, if the computer does not meet the system requirements then you may not able to upgrade past that Snow Leopard or you may only be able to upgrade to Lion.

    If you have already purchased the Mavericks in with your Apple ID then you should be able to re - download it from your shopping list in the App Store. You also need to associate the computer with your Apple ID through preferences to iCloud.
