• Update for Snow Leopard to El captain? Should I do it? (Loss of iphoto organization a big concentration)

  I have an imac of all about 2010 with 2.93 GHz and intel Core i7.  I've been under Snow Leopard since day 1! I've been reluctant to upgrade because of the reviews on the new OS every year and now I'm way behind, but snow leopard ran flawlessly for me so why I kept for so long, but I think I should take the step now.  One of my BIGGEST concerns is to lose iphoto (I've arranged in folders and albums, and I don't want to lose this Organization!). Has anyone taken this step to upgrade this old operating system? I'm even able to upgrade directly to El captain in Snow Leopard? And how will this affect my organization "iphoto" penetrating "photos"? Any info or links or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

  You will find bad reviews on all OS for each platform, because you can't please everyone.

  Yes, you can go directly to El Capitan, as long as you have Mac OS X 10.6.8.

  You don't have to use Photos, you can continue to use iPhoto, as long as you have version 9.6.1.

  You should always make a backup before doing any update most of the OS.

• Leopard MacBook pro late 2008 - updated to update to snow leopard

  I have a macbook pro late 2008 with leopard on updated to snow leopard, which is the best upgrade, that I can do without problems?

  I upgraded to 8 GB memory and 500 GB MMX 200 ssd.  tTe upgrade was necessary because I installed el capitan and he absolutely killed my mac, so I got the diagnostics to find my drive was not hard.

  I'll reinstall leopard and use my snow leopard updated, but to what extent until I can go without problems over?

  In theory, it must be able to handle El Capitan. You can't really judge El Capitan performance enough if you ran it on a bad HARD drive.

  Your only real options stay with Snow Leopard, goes to the mountain, which is still fairly recent, Lion or El Capitan.  I think most people would say that Lion (10.7) alone is not worthwhile.  Mavericks and Yosemite are no longer available unless you already have a copy.  Mountain Lion is no longer receiver update but is not a fall to the same extent (yet) by the developers of software under Snow Leopard.  Some claim that it is the operating system more acceptable from 10.6.  You can always buy a download code for it.

• Contradictory information about Apple vs. HP drivers for Snow Leopard

  It seems to be conflicting information about the software for Snow Leopard for the HP OfficeJet 6210.

  An entry claims that the software of the printer is included in Snow Leopard.

  Another entry offers the "HP Officejet full feature software and drivers for Mac OS X 10.6".

  What is the configuration of the correct software for this computer AIO on Snow Leopard?

  I've seen this a few times, try the following steps.

  1. go in/Library/Printers/hp/Frameworks/and delete "HPSmartX.framework".
  2. run the update of the software (it should prompt to install HP Printer Drivers update 2.3) go through the installation.
  3. When you have finished, try to rerun the software update.

  I'm not saying to ignore updates.  Please post your result.

  Thank you

• Any update to Snow Leopard and CS3 or CS4 tracks?

  Hi all. I'm looking to upgrade my Mac tiger to snow leopard, but I wanted to make sure that there aren't any problems beforehand. Someone has updated to Snow Leopard? Have you had any problems running CS3 or CS4 since?

  Thank you.

  There are a few problems with a few plug-ins from third parties, and After Effects CS4 users should switch to After Effects CS4 (9.0.2). Michael Coleman and I try to keep track of issues as they arise. See this post and links it to what we know so far.

• I've updated to Snow Leopard for OSX El Capitan as the info said that my Mac 2009 could be updated.  However, I had a lot of problems and it is extremely slow, among other things.  Should I have upgraded Yosemite or something else first?

  I have a 2009 IMac and had Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and IPhotos, latest version.  While he was trying to use something new, I wanted to download (can't remember what now) my system said that I had to switch to OSX El Capitan, so I did.  Since then, I've had nothing but problems, the computer is very slow to open anything and Photos is terrible - I can't do anything with it and I hate it!  I much preferred IPhotos.  My question is, should I have upgraded to Yosemite or something else before going directly to El Capitan?  If so, what can I do now to remedy the situation?  Thanks for any advice.

  My question is, should I have upgraded to Yosemite or something else before going directly to El Capitan?

  No, but you must have insured all the software you have installed, changes to the system, in particular, was compatible with El Capitan.

  You can use iPhoto, but you should get used to the Photos like iPhoto will be is more up-to-date and may stop working at some point.

  If you run this program, it will show what is installed. After the output here and we might be able to offer advice on what's causing your problems

  You can go to depends on what your model is compatible with. You cannot install Mountain Lion, Mavericks, or Yosemite because they are no longer available.

  Upgrade to El Capitan

  You can pass the Lion El Capitan or directly from Snow Leopard. El Capitan can be downloaded for FREE from the Mac App Store.

  Upgrade to El Capitan

  To upgrade to El Capitan, you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or installed Lion. Download El Capitan from the App Store. Sign in with your Apple ID. El Capitan is free. The file is big enough, more than 5 GB, allow it some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

  Mac that can be upgraded to OS X El Capitan

  1 iMac (mid-2007 or newer) - model identifier 7.1 or later

  2 MacBook (late 2008 or early 2009 or newer aluminium) - model identifier 5.1 or later

  3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version

  4 MacBook Air (late 2008 or newer)- model identifier 2.1 or later

  5 mac mini (early 2009 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version

  6 mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version

  7 Xserve (early 2009) - model identifier 3.1 or later version

  To find the identifier of the model open system information in the Utilities folder. It is displayed in the Panel on the right.

  My applications are compatible?

  See table of application - RoaringApps compatibility

  Upgrade to Lion

  If your computer does not meet the requirements to install the Mavericks, it can still meet the specifications to install Lion.

  You can buy Lion to the Apple store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus taxes.  It's a download. You will receive an email with a redemption code that you then use on the Mac App Store for download Lion. Save a copy of this installer to your download folder because Setup deletes itself at the end of the installation.

  Lion system requirements

  1 mac with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,

  or Xeon processor

  2. 2 GB of memory

  3 OS X 10.6.6 or later (10.6.8) recommended

  4. 7 GB of available space

  5. certain features require an Apple ID; conditions apply.

• Can I update to Snow Leopard and keep iPhoto?

  I'm still under Snow Leopard on my iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3, 12 GB of memory. I hear that iPhoto has been replaced by pictures in Yosemite. For several reasons, I need to update to Yosemite, but am very concerned about the loss of access and usage of my large iPhoto library. (I backed up on an external drive and also Time Machine).  I am definitely a person no-tech and hope someone can guide me through the update to Yosemite in simple language.

  Photos can import iPhoto libraries, but unless you got this copy of iPhoto for the Mac App Store or Apple says that otherwise, you will not be able to upgrade to a version compatible with Yosemite or above.

• 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.

  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.

• 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.

  Information on the compatibility of 10.11 El Capitan

  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.

• Copy and paste broken in GoLive CS for Snow Leopard

  Hi all

  Since I've upgraded to Snow Leopard, we weirdness happening within GoLive CS with respect to the copy and the function passed. He took a while to unravel everything that was happening, but here's the gist: If you paste text anywhere in the GL - one link in the link, the code or the text on a page palette - starting by selecting another text to be replaced, then trying to stick above with what exists in the Clipboard - the strangest thing happens. There is no visible change to the text highlighted, but it--and not the text to your Clipboard - are now "copied". That was in the Clipboard is now replaced by the text you want to replace. Argh!

  The only solution is to always delete old text before pasting - never try to 'cover '.

  As I say, I have not noticed that since I've upgraded to Snow Leopard. Since then, I've just adjusted to the situation since this happens nowhere else and I won't upgrade my suite Adobe in the foreseeable future - he meets my needs in all other respects.

  But I'm surprised not to find any mention of him in the forums here, especially after all this time. Assuming that it's to do with interaction between GL CS and SL, I would have thought that there is a patch or something now.

  Anyone facing this problem?

  Adobe won't pull a patch for an abandoned program, especially an old as CS. There were two issues from this one.

  Snow Leopard has incompatibilities with many programs (not only GoLive) that took place in previous systems. You'll find maybe less surprised by running your previous operating system.
