• Update of os x Snow Leopard to El Capitan 10.11.5 10.6.8

  Hi all...

  I just upgraded my Macbook Pro 13 "since mid-2010 at the El Capitan 10.11.5."

  Configuration of my Macbook Pro:

  2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

  4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

  NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB

  These are the problems I encounter:

  • I can't switch between the previous page and next page with 3 fingers sliding left or right, I could do without effort on my previous version of the osx
  • The startup time is very high... (40 seconds to 1 minute)
  • The system preference takes time to open

  Please help on the above problems.

  The only reason to upgrade my Macbook Pro has been because the iTunes was not compatible with my new iPhone SE. (there where we need the itunes 12.3.3.17 and who used to work on my OSx snow leopard 10.6.8)

  Please help me to solve the above problems. Also let me know if I need a downgrade to older versions of the operating system

  Check your trackpad settings

   > System Preferences > Trackpad to scroll through the options

  To be honest, with only 4 GB of RAM and running El Cap - it all seems normal with a HD of spinning.  Snow Leopard is much lighter and compact operating system.

  The only reason to upgrade my Macbook Pro has been because the iTunes was not compatible with my new iPhone SE.

  It doesn't pay to get too far behind in technology or OS X.

  Add more RAM and an SSD, you'd be amazed at the difference. Check out https://www.macsales.com/

• Compatibility CD Snow Leopard with El Capitan

  Hello

  Until recently, I used the (installed via the original CD) on a plain Macbook snow leopard, and subsequently, I installed Windows XP SP3 via Bootcamp. I remember that after the installation I had to install utilities Bootcamp from the original CD of Snow Leopard.

  A few weeks ago, I upgraded to El Capitan, and then to Windows 7 in the original Bootcamp partition. Are there specific utilities of Bootcamp I should install?

  In which case the answer is Yes, where can I find/download utilities for editing?

  Thanks for the advice.

• Update iTunes library of Snow Leopard in El Capitan

  Hello everyone

  I have a new iMac running El Capitan (iTunes 12.3) that I want to update an iTunes library from my old Mac that took place from Snow leopard. (Not sure this number of old iTunes because the old Mac crashed) I copied the old iTunes from a backup folder to the new Mac. Here's what its structure looks like:

  

  However, when I point the new iTunes on this record, he is not recognized and implemented to date so I have everything in my new iTunes. I could import all the media from the iTunes Music folder, but then I do not have my playlists.

  What is the right path to access the old library on the new Mac?

  Thanks for the help!

  Hello

  Create a new folder in the Finder window and call it Itunes1

  Drag all of the files and folders inside except for Album work.

  Launch iTunes by pressing ⌥ alt, and then select the iTunes1 library

  It should work

• Snow Leopard to El Capitan on Macbook pro 2011

  Hello world

  I run a 2011 Macbook pro under Snow Leopard and need to update to El Capitan because of my iPhone 5 that runs on iOs 9.
  Question?

  Should I upgrade to El Capitan or keep Snow Leopard?
  Is anyone doing this update already on a similar mac?
  I heard that it would be possible to partition the drive and use the two Os x. My concern is that my macbook pro would be slower, it works perfectly fine at the time or perhaps the risk of overheating due to the upgrade?
  And of course, I could lose valuable software like Xpress, my Adobe CS5...

  Sorry for the many questions but I have not found answers on the forum yet.
  Thanks in advance.

  Florian

  (1) keep SL, but use El Capitan on the same drive or on an external boot disk.

  (2) others have, and it is possible.  I did not, but I'm a bit of a killjoy.

  (3A) Yes, it is possible.  I would advise, so you can keep your software that will be useful if - I don't you am not mocking, I understand very well keep working software.

  (3B), it may be a bit slower.  If you have less than 16 GB of RAM (you can run that much) the effect could be a little more pronounced.  If you only have 4 GB of RAM, you need to upgrade RAM first IMO.

  (3 c) don't worry overheating.  Fan CPU/controls is sophisticated enough to keep things working, as long as you do not block the main back-vent.

  Path, you can follow:

  (1A), you can partition using disk utility, but you should have a very good clone/backup before doing just in case a very rare event of bad things.  You also told us not how big your current drive is and how you have used.

  (1B), you could get an external 2.5 drive and I suggest that you get an external Universal connection kit for $15 fix any bare drive.

  (2) you can download the installer from El Capitan, but out of the automatic "starts to install.  Then copy the installation application to another location of re - later use these packs to remove critical package "in-house" at the end of installation.

  (3) If you have a second drive of clone of your current system (my preferred method), you can upgrade this clone, while keeping intact internal drive and startup just externally for iPhone operations.

• 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?

  (I know, I'll then have browser problems, but...)

  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:

  macOS Sierra: return to an earlier version of Mac OS

  See you soon!

• 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.

• Snow Leopard update to El Capitan

  I need to upgrade my imac of El Capitan of Snow Leopard desktop (end 2008) 10.6.8 version. Read these forums useful to get advice, I do not understand some of the info/advice.

  I've been deleting old files and currently have 10.5 MB of available storage on the hard disk, the original mac hard drive.

  I have a 3 to backup (WD My Book for Mac) hard drive installed.

  Recently, I added 2 GB of memory for a total of 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRam.

  1. the same cloning to backup?

  2. If I have everything backed up on the external hard drive that automatically includes the old (current Snow Leopard) OS in case I need to go back or to be saved/cloned separately because I have seen recommended in the forums?

  3 partitioning?

  I read the recommendations to do a clean installation of El Capitan.

  Can I do this on the external hard drive?

  4 it is necessary to copy the old Snow Leopard and new El Capitan, as recommended, something about installing quit and dragging to the desktop.

  5 How long take to upgrade about once I start to download El Capitan?

  All the other advice that I missed would be greatly appreciated.

  Forgive me if I ask too many questions at a time. My problem to understand how to do without creating new problems is to find all the info in one place.

  And thanks to all those who help the rest of us who do not know these things.

  1. a backup copy of all of your computer includes all visible files but you would not be able to boot from it. A clone of the exact state of the hard drive backup and you can boot from it, or clone back again to restore a previous state. It is strongly recommended that you can return to Snow Leopard if you really pretty easily.

  2. Yes, if you make a clone.

  3 n ° operation of an external drive is slower. I should not do a clean install, because it will be wiping and after restore, your HDA drive. Partitioning, if you have enough space, may allow you to have both the old and new configurations available quickly, but it should not be necessary.

  4. this suggestion applies to the El Capitan installer that, left alone, will clear itself after installation. If you want to install on another machine is also good when you should leave as soon as it starts to install it and copy it to another location so that it remains available. None of this applies to Snow Leopard, which cannot be installed on disk.

  5. the download depends on your internet speed, and also how fast the server responds. I don't know about actual installation, but overall you must allow several hours.

• Yosemite to Snow Leopard and back to Yosemite

  Hello world.   My first question on a blog!  I upgraded to Yosemite and now can't use some older software to work, so not able to get the data.  Can someone me that it would be normal to return to snow leopard, get the data moved elsewhere, then reinstall the Yosemite?  I hope this makes sense.  There is a lot of data.  Thank you for all your comments!

  Yes, if you have created a Snow Leopard time Machine, you can restore from this backup as shown below

  Once you are ready to upgrade to Yosemite yet once, just go to the App store, click purchased purchased tab and download OS X Yosemite. Then once he completes the free download and install Yosemite by following the instructions. I hope this helps!

• With the help of a Snow Leopard bootable or hard disk drive

  When I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard to El Capitan, I have also created a disk external drive bootable that would go SL. There are a few applications would not run on the CBS.

  I just bought a new MBP (mid-2012). But it does not start from my SL, nor even the installation of SL DVD drive.

  Is there a way to get around this?

  Thank you.

  Only by converting in Mac OS X Server and running it inside a product such as VirtualBox or Parallels Desktop. If you do not have a Mac OS X Server 10.6 DVD, phone online Apple Store and order a.

• Not good at El Capitan Snow Leopard: which goes back?

  Well, I'm in trouble, I think. I have improved my Early 2008 iMac (2.4 Ghz 4 GB ram) machine of 10.6 Snow Leopard to El Capitan (reason: so I could save my new iPhone6s - was not recognized in iTunes in 10.6). What is OS El Capitan somewhere cool, but oh oh oh how it slowed the computer. I am a photographer running Adobe LIghtroom, and sometimes the computer literally stops responding. I need to keep my iPhone saved, so I plan to go back in the OS to one of the following:

  OS X 10,10 "Yosemite", 10.9 "Mavericks" 10.8 "Mountain Lion", 10.7 "Lion"

  It would be great to go back just to one of these, but the #1 problem is that I have never owned one any of them. I went directly to El Capitan in Snow Leopard.

  The next option I guess would be back to 10.6 SL and then upgrade from there. #2 problem is that I already have a SuperDuper! backup my iMac to El Capitan running. I have no copy, what her backup or system disks, with OS 10.6 Snow Leopard for my 2008 iMac. (I have 10.4 Tiger which was for an iMac PowerPC G5 and 10.6 who was for my MacBook Pro 2010. "I am sure that these are useless for my 2008 iMac).

  Should which way I follow to get to one of these operating systems? I would like to buy a new computer, but I would like to find a solution to give at the moment. Should I go buy a system for one of the OS disk, I want somewhere?

  The next question, I've seen a few discussions, is that OS would reasonably execute such as Snow Leopard, but also let my iPhone6s to be recognized in iTunes?

  Thanks for reading.

  Jerry

  Looks like you need to do some third party editing software, because 10.11 works very well on this iMac.

  You could also try to replace one of the modules of 2 GB with a 4GB module and run with 6 GB to see if that helps.

  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.
