• Re-install Snow Leopard to a notice of Imac I3 mid-2010?

  Hello

  I have already received some good answers in another thread, but it had a different title, so I thought that I post here and maybe some members will more experience with this:

  I just bought a used Imac which is currently being shipped to me.  Here are the specs: mid-2010 21.5 inches screen, model A1311, series: W8114294DAS, Intel Core I3 3.06 ghz processor.

  He will come running to El Capitan, but they advised me to wipe the drive and reinstall the original operating system, which is the snow leopard, and then upgrade from there to El Capitan, with my own Apple ID. However, it seems to be difficult with this particular model. If the computer is initially supplied with Snow Leopard 10.6.4. My drive of detail might not work for the re - install.  I was told that Apple would be able to ship me a custom. I've also read about yet another thread that maybe these models came with a slightly different version of Snow Leopard, and this is why the retail CD may not work, even if the computer came with version 10.6.3. and it would be better to get a custom. Is this true?

  Then there may be a problem with an update of the firmware that the computer may or may not have and which could cause problems (not allow Snow Leopard install at all, or instead to install Lion). Is it possible to say if he had this update and maybe disable it before attempting to erase and install Snow Leopard?

  Does anyone have advice/stories to share before I actually try it? Or what would be the best way to go about this? I thought that I would try my SL CD detail first, and I hope that it will work. Otherwise, I could order the CD on measure and try this one. If I can't erase, at least I didn't damage, but what happens if I erase the disc, but then failed to install Snow Leopard? I was left with a blank computer. Or I would be able to install it once the disc has been erased?

  Someone also said using SuperDuper may erase the disc elsewhere or at least to make a back-up? I have not used before. There is no personal information on the computer again, I would try to re - install before anything else, so I just need a way to install El Capitan under my Apple ID, then I'll be able to install updates, or even a new operating system, as it becomes available.

  Is there a risk to try to use my SL CD detail if it allows me to erase and install (such as the installation of the 'wrong' version of Snow Leopard)?

  Here is the link to the original thread: purchases used Imac tips?

  Thanks for any idea!

  You can try this much easier.

  1 - Connect to App store with your apple ID.

  2 - install download 10.11 - he will say that you have already installed just 10.11 to proceed.

  3. create a usb installation program.

  4 - start the installer - erase hard drive and install a clean copy of 10.11

  5. place the iMac with your apple ID.

• 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!

  I'm under Fusionware version 1.1.3 of the virtual machine with Windows XP as the host operating system.

  Could upgrade to Version 2.0.5 of VM Fusionware help or y at - it another way to solve this problem and avoid the loss of data / program files?

  Thanks a lot for your help

  I think 2.0.5 is the first version to offer support for Snow Leopard (ie. This is the first that works) but support is still experimental (that is to say you might have some problems)

  I therefore move to 2.0.5 and see how you go, you certainly won't get a 1.x version to work.

• the upgrade from leopard to snow leopard

  Hello world

  I have an old Intel 2 .2GHz version 10.5.8 macbook 4 GB with Leopard and need to upgrade to the next level to eliminate the Safari compatibility, what would be the best operating system? I have snow leopard CD, but it doesn't seem to change something after you run it, what I need to upgrade to a higher version like mount lion or I'm wrong?

  Update to SnowLeopard. Then update to SnowLeopard (Combo update from Apple support sites) 10.6.8 with the Combo update.

  You can decide what to do in the Appstore, update or not ElCapitan.

  BUT: a thorough investigation into what your mac can handle El Capitan.

  and a thorough investigation into which applications in your mac are not compatible with El Capitan (even with the latest updates from them).

  If you post some more on your mac (see the Apple menu, about this mac), I can tell if the hardware can handle more SnowLeopard.

• Do not export LR + Snow Leopard to CS4

  Operating system: Apple OS x Snow Leopard

  When I work with Lightroom (64 bit activate feature) I can't export the photos processed with the adjustment brush and masks to Photoshop CS4: CS4 starts but nothing happens.

  If I close Lightroom, I select the 32-bit mode and I restart the program, this time I am able to export to Photoshop the same photos with no problems.

  It is really strange, I can't find any explanation... It never happened with Leopard: Lightroom has worked in 64-bit with no problems.

  Anyone of you have the same problem?
  Please let me know if I'm the only one, or if the problem is a common bug.

  Thank you!

  Run in 32-bit mode solves this problem.

• Failed installation: new iMac with Snow Leopard (2 LR)

  Hi, can anyone help?

  I got Lightroom 2 works without problem on a Mac Powerbook G4 for a few months. Now, I bought a new iMac, with the intention to move all my stuff of photography on him, but LR 2 refuses to install. It seems to be OK but stops before you ask me a serial number.

  I can't find anything in the forums or the knowledge base.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Pete is right. The Setup program that comes on diskettes for installation with copies box of Lightroom will not work on Snow Leopard. Just download LR 2.5 Adobe. The "Download free trial" link on this page download a full version that you can just put your serial number of your box in.
