• 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.

• Time to try the revival of new Mail on Snow Leopard?

• Which printer works with 10.6.8, snow leopard and more advanced:

  What printer will work well with system 10.6.8 v.1.1 and leave like lion, mountain lion, Yosemite and same El capitan? Work on snow leopard and have a MacBook Pro bought in 2010 and that works very well. Would I be able to upgrade to El capitan? Received a message a while back from Apple to install makes me believe it's possible. And no problem, the upgrade to all the other intermediate systems mentioned? Have been looking online for a reliable site for printer, but have not found a definitive.

  Please take a look at...

  https://www.Apple.com/OSX/how-to-upgrade/#hardware-requirements

  Who should you help to see if your model is supported & see what features it supports.

  Have you already 10.7, 10.8, 10.9 and 10.10 purchased in your Mac App store account? Apple has removed these from the store so you can't buy more. You can download them only as a "purchase".

  You don't need them if your Mac can run 10.11, you can ignore the versions if you wish. Backup before you apply any update - just in case where do multiple backups

  What about the printer - I don't know, sorry, you need to wait for others to answer or try Google, etc.

• I am trying to-rInstaller Snow Leopard of Yosemitie. I made a mess of it and now it tells me that it is impossible to disassemble the hard drive

  Can someone tell me how to remove Yosemitie and reinstall Snow Leopard. I made a mess of it. I keep trying to erase the recovery disk, but do not know how. There is no data that I need to keep tro so free it please tell me how to re - install Snow Leopard in the simpleset of simple terms for a person aged 85, can understand it. I am very familiar wih Microsoft and regular of the PC.

  Boot from the Snow Leopard DVD by pressing the C key during a reboot or by holding down the option/Alt during a restart, the DVD. Once started, open utility disk, go to the tab clear, select Mac OS X extended (journaled) format with Option GUID. Erase the hard drive. When you are finished, install Snow Leopard. Once completed, restart normally and set up your account using Setup Assistant. Then use the update from the drop-down list below to update to10.6.8.

• 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.

  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!

• How to mount an external drive in Snow Leopard Server VM

  I've created a Snow Leopard Server VM running in my office of Lion native.  I would like to run the migration wizard on an external drive of Snow Leopard to migrate a lot of user data and applications (a snow leopard to be precise user account).  I can't find a way to mount the external hard drive in the virtual machine.  Should I create a disk image of this external hard drive, or something to get there?  Anyone tried this?

  I guess an external USB drive?   Can't redirect the USB device to your virtual machine?

• Illustrator CS closes unexpectedly in Snow Leopard

  Hello
  I have multiple accounts on my computer (Mac) for different users, and I've recently not been able to launch Illustrator CS on one of the accounts, but works fine on the other two.
  Why is this? BTW I need to work on the account, which does not seem to open it from the major part of all my design work and Illustrator files are there and do not want to export to a different user account.
  If it would help I run Snow Leopard on my iMac with Intel processors and have encountered this problem since I installed a Photoshop CS5 trial version on this account one.
  Thank you
  Joe

  Try this

  1. quit Illustrator.
  2. go to user/username/Library/Preferences/Adobe illustrator CS4 Settings and parameters, the entire record of the trash not only the contents of the folder...
  3. launch Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.

  One of the accounts is corrupted, it might be the settings of a cache of police problem folder you would use the freeware called onYX to clean the cache of the fnt, you could also use a font corrupt for documents on this account. You can use other software which is not playing does not well with your user preferences, but do not use it on other accounts.

• ProCS4 flash does not work on Snow leopard?

  Whenever I try to open any type of file in Flash CS4 (version 10.0.2), it crashes instantly, and I get the error message "Flash has quit unexpectedly.

  This problem has only started happening since I've recently updated my new macbook pro to Snow Leopard (mac os x 10.6.1).

  All CS4 programs will work perfectly,

  Any advice on how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated!

  Thanks in advance,

  Tim

  I guess that your Flash CS4 was working fine before the upgrade to Snow Leopard...

  However, Flash CS4 works fine on Snow Leopard, many users of Snow Leopard.

  See, if the launch of a new user with administrator privileges account makes a difference...

  You may even try to uninstall Flash CS4 completely in the current account and installation of a new account if the above does not work...

  Keep posting...

• Invisible text in Flash Player Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard

  Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, I had problems with invisible text in Safari and Firefox on pages that use Flash Player.

  Here's what I know:

  They are always in Flash, but not all of the text is invisible.
  I created a new user account, and there is no problem.
  I use the latest version of Flash.
  I installed all the updates that are available from Apple.
  Text does not appear in Firefox or Safari, so it is not only a problem of Safari, but seems to be a problem with Flash.

  Here's what I did to try to resolve the problem:

  Book fonts used to check all the fonts and to remove duplicate fonts installed by Snow Leopard.
  Font book allows to disable the user fonts, since there were no problems with the other user account.
  Reinstalled Flash (several times).

  Used the Flash uninstall program and then reinstalled.
  Fix the permissions on the disk.
  You discover a problem with iWork, so I reinstalled iWork (although I was not having a problem here).

  Here is a screenshot.  It is the page Google stock. The small boxes along the lower right part of the chart are supposed to have letters that correspond to the links to the right of the graph. These appear in the other user account, but not in Safari or FireFox.

  <img src="http://homepage.mac.com/abramr/FlashInvisibleFonts.png"/>
  So, now what? Is there a plist or something I can delete to Adobe Flash Player? If there is a problem with a different user account, what should I do? Can I somehow easily move all my stuff (documents, photos, music, etc.) to the new user account and then delete the old root user account?
  Thanks for any help you can give me.
  Rob
  			 
  I was able to solve the problem in my case.  I removed the fonts in the following folder:
  ~/Library/fonts (where ~ is your username)
  RELOADED Safari and it worked fine.  I think that the fonts in the user folder were in conflict with fonts in the main folder in the upper part of the repertoire of the library.
  		   

• Illustrator CS4 will not run under Snow Leopard

  Hello

  I just did a clean install of Snow Leopard on my Mac. Here's what I did.

  (1) installed Snow Leopard 10.6

  (2) installed all the updates of OS X (including 10.6.1)

  (3) installed Quark Xpress-8.12

  (4) installed Adobe CS4 Design Standard

  (5) installed all updates of Adobe (no updates associated with Illustrator)

  (6) installed Extensis Suitcase Fusion 2 (v13.2.1)

  Photoshop starts very well.

  When I launch Illustrator it crashes just after the start screen is displayed.

  Any ideas please?

  Couldn't find anything on the Internet really - if cannot get a response soon, so I have to go back to the leopard .

  Thank you

  Mike.

  I would suspect suitcase and maybe a corrupt police could be the cause of this problem and the database is corrupt.

  However before any attempt of software really point the finger this removes all the unnecessary fonts then

  to do this

  first Illustrator altogether and then;

  I go to the users/username/Library/preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings folder and trash this settings folder.
  then see if Illustrator works well. If this is not the case, try a new user account if it works very well under a new user so I think it's the police database.

• 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.

• 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?

  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:

• 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.
