• restoration of time Snow Leopard machine on el capitan

  My iMac is toast. I have a MacBook Pro, dated but supported for El Capitan. I want to spend all my El Capitan Time machine, including the operating system for the MacBook Pro. Instructions to do this involve booting from a recovery partition, or an equivalent of the internet. But the Snow Leopard operating system does not support these approaches. How to boot in order to restore?

  I discovered recently, after trying to start my El Capitan Macbook Pro to an ext hdd than Snow Leopard snow leopard anything or not can not read the disc El Capitan. However, the reverse is ok.

  The best thing I think would be to reinstall the time Machine back to El Capitan, then do a manual brake and fall back to the top of your data to another drive before installation installation of Snow Leopard then drag and drop your files backed up to your new snow Leopard.

  It is because (if I remember correctly), time machine back ups are difficult to navigate. I always use Carbon Copy Cloner as it makes a bootable copy of my drive and you can easily access your files if you plug it in as an ext hdd.

  You only really need to back up your home folder and make sure that your keychain files and the browser are stored, and then reinstall all your applications. Maybe a little harder if you have a lot of paid applications.

  That's what I'd do, but maybe someone else has a better idea.

• Run the utilities from disk on machine with Yosemite Snow Leopard startup disk?

  I have a 2009 imac that came with Snow Leopard. I've since updated my OS to Yosemite. Should I run the disc from my old snow leopard startup disk utilities or is it a bad idea?

• Do I need to use snow leopard installation discs to clear and then pass on late 2007 MacBook running 10.5.6?

  Yet another question about the old MacBook crafty as questions involve. I begin to feel that the only way to clean it and the Mac is with software disks. Can I directly go with Snow Leopard, or do I have the disks to Leopard 10.5?

  If theres an easier way using recovery disk fade and internet utility that would be really great!

  Help please!

  You can use the Snow Leopard disc to install directly - you don't need to delete unless you want to. Your Macbook came with 1 GB of RAM and that meets the requirements that you might find it a little tight. If you are able to update the RAM would the Mac work better.

• 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.

• 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.

• You can import users of snow leopard server in el capitan Server

  I have a client with a server on Snow Leopard (10.6).  It has never been updated so far.  Can I export the users and groups in Workgroup Manager, and then import them directly into the server of El Capitan?

  Yes.  You can do it three ways.  The first is to export the flat files by using the export of managers of the working group.  You can do this for users and groups.  The point here is that you don't have passwords.  Flat files will not flat files password export as plain text.  However, export of Workgroup Manager can give you more data you want to import into a new system as the MCX is discouraged.  You can use dsexport instead.  Using dsexport allows you to exclude attributes that you cannot be postponed.  The third way is to export an archive Open Directory.  An archive is a DMG file password which will include passwords, but also all of the stuff that you can't move protected.  In Admin Server on the 10.6 machine go to the archive and export an archive of OD.  This method may not be perfect, but if you must keep the UID and GUID values such as password, an archive of the AO is the best method.  But, be prepared for oddities as there is a lot of distance between 10.6 and 10.11.

• Clean install of Snow Leopard backup Time Machine

  I'm swapping computers with my daughter. Both MacBooks, one with installed Yosemite, the other with Snow Leopard.

  We have backed up our files to separate external drives. Now, I have two related questions.

  1. If I understand correctly, we can now delete all the contents of the MacBook Snow Leopard and do a clean install of Yosemite or El Capitan before (or at the same time that?) from the TM backup data recovery. This hypothesis is correct?

  2. the content of the Snow Leopard system should be installed on the MacBook running Yosemite. What's the procedure here? In other words, it is possible erase the drive, and then start the computer into recovery mode is to have only the Time Machine backup?

  TIA.

• HP Photosmart C4580 Wireless problem - Snow Leopard

  Hello

  My HP Photosmart C4580 has worked for wireless (albeit a bit slowly) until I made 2 changes:

  (a) I changed my router SSID (network name) and password

  (b) I have upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard

  At first I tried to use the HP configuration utility to reconfigure the network my printer wireless.  It doesn't not work - he told me that my printer to be connected via USB, while he was already.  I tried different things and ended up reset wireless to the printer (using the printer menu).

  Then, in the HP that I read that HP utilities do not work with Snow Leopard help files.  But the instructions for wireless network with my snow leopard printer did not work.  I could install my printer via USB (and downloaded driver), but it does not appear on the list without wire.  I couldn't find a way to configure wireless with USB connection, as I already had when I initially set up my printer with Leopard.

  Video instructions to set up wireless for Mac (http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?board.id=Macintosh&thread.id=231) seemed promising, because it would finally give me a chance to give my printer on my network information.  Wireless Network Test report gives the network name (SSID hpsetup) (since I have reset the settings), that I found promising, although only under IP address, he said 'not applicable' (and obviously fails it test under 'Network name found' failed-it).  However, my macbook can't take any hpsetup network and on the network Page Configuration I printed the network status is 'offline', Active connection Type is None, URL is 0.0.0.0.  Apparently my printer cannot connect to this network hpsetup.

  I have spent a few days on this and I am completely at a loss to know what to do.  Can someone please advise?  Thank you very much.

  OK, we can solve the problem.

  First you uninstall the 10.5 HP software before installing 10.6?  If this isn't the case, we might as well do it now.

  Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard / click Uninstall HP
  Click on continue
  Highlight your device in the left pane
  Hold down the Ctrl and Opt, as well as Apple and click on uninstall
  There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall all hp software. (At this point, if you continue, all HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled, this is why we do not run this thing all the time)
  Click on continue
  Let the cleaner it is.

  Then, remove the printer in System Preferences, Print & Fax.

  After that, go to hp.com and download the 10.6 complete package

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=OJ-74785-1&LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&lang=en&OS=219&product=3418707

  Having attached to the C4580 usb cable and select Wireless when you can.  Follow the rest by.

  I noticed problems where people have "special" characters in their password wireless.  If it fails, and you have no alphabetic characters or digital, you will need to go through the process of hpsetup ad hoc, as detailed in the video you mentioned.

• -> Lion (Delete Boot Camp Partition) Snow Leopard?

  I am currently on an iMac under Snow Leopard 10.6.8 (2.4 Ghz C2D, 4 GB of RAM, with VMware 3.1.3). I have Windows XP as a Boot Camp partition, but recently, I've downloaded the tool VMware Converter from VMware and I am now running XP via a Vitural Machine (saved in the My Documents folder).

  I can't install Lion because it cannot create the recovery disk and there is an error with my scores (I don't remember the exact wording). I'm guessing that it's because of my Boot Camp partition that has XP installed on it, which is no longer compatible with Lion.

  My question is: since I converted the Boot Camp partition in a Virtual Machine, can I remove the Boot Camp partition and still be able to run XP?

  It's on my iMac at work, and I rely on XP for 75% of my work, so I make sure that I always have access to XP via the Virtual Machine.

  Thanks in advance!

  My question is: since I converted the Boot Camp partition in a Virtual Machine, can I remove the Boot Camp partition and still be able to run XP?

  The short answer is Yes.

  The longer answer is to make sure that you run only a normal file based Virtual Machine and a virtual Boot Camp Machine partition not before deleting.

  It's on my iMac at work, and I rely on XP for 75% of my work, so I make sure that I always have access to XP via the Virtual Machine.

  If there is a system of work, then you shouldn't be move to Lion still and wait for at least the first version of Lion and a version of VMware Fusion, which is officially certified to be fully compatible with Mac OS X Lion before the upgrade.

• Illustrator CS4 in Snow Leopard issues

  I have a logo file that I created in Illustrator CS4 on an iMac under Snow Leopard, and it does not display some of the text layers on the registration for the web or as an Illustrator CS3 file or copy and paste in Photoshop CS4. Basically, text layers are standard using Adobe Garamond Pro (regular and italic) fonts and white text on black background. In the original file, the two lines of text look good but when I try to register using one of the other methods above I no longer see the 2nd line of text. So, indeed I can't create the JPEG or GIF that I need this logo. Anyone have any ideas?

  Thank you

  Steve

  Maybe not a cs4/snow leopard issue but an overlay?

  The white text that disappears is set for a recovery?
