Three beeps when trying to install snow leopard
Hey guys, this imac has el capitan, I am trying to reinstall snow leopard but I get 3 beeps. This research, I came across info suggesting either bad ram or I'm going to need at least a 10.6.7 to a flash drive as suggested in this thread here: three beeps when trying to install snow leopard
I have the original disc from apple with 10.6.3. Possible to use this disc or my only option would be to try to get an OS x 10.6.7 on a USB? If so, I just found the 10.6.7 here: *.
I have it on my windows desktop. I guess my next step should be to install on a bootable flash drive. So yes, I have a 16 gb flash drive that I use for windows, do I need to reformat for mac first and then copy the dmg file downloaded to it?

You're right, three beeps point to a problem with the RAM. The first thing to do is to remove and reinstall ensure that it is firmly in place. If not, then replace the RAM, if you bought it from Crucial or OWC then the RAM has a lifetime warranty.

Can I install Snow Leopard on a Mac Mini 2008
Hello.
I have a Mac Mini 2008 with the info printed on the envelope:
Mini Mac 2.53/2X2G/320/SDI/AP/BT
Model no. A1283 2008
I tried to install Snow Leopard using the gray installation disc supplied with my Macbook Pro.
It didn't work, probably because the drive is linked to my MBP (I guess).
So now I think ordering setup of Snow Leopard on the Apple store instead:
http://www.Apple.com/shop/product/MC573Z/A/Mac-OS-x-106-Snow-LeopardBut I'm not 100% sure if the previous failure, I had was really just because of the gray drive or the Mac Mini 2008 does not support Snow Leopard.
Hope someone can give me the answer, so I'm not an unnecessary purchase.
Thank you!
This is because the gray disc is specific to your model of MacBook Pro. Any Mac that has an Intel processor, at least 1 GB of RAM and running 10.4 or 10.5 can run 10.6.

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. Run the software update until there is no updates.
If you want to save some of your existing data, copy what you want an external hard drive before proceeding to the foregoing.

Format and install Snow Leopard on Mac Mini
Hello
- I have a Mac Mini
- Using boot camp, I have a Win10 partition which is now, the entire hard drive. Really.
- I have the installation of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.3) DVD
- I directly connect the optical drive and a wired keyboard to the system
- Start by pressing the [CTRL] key.
- Download the white screen with the Apple logo in the middle of it.
- .. then nothing. He's here. After 10 minutes, I pull the plug and restart the Windows partition and return to the slaughter of these discussion forums for clues.
Issues related to the:
- How do I FORMAT and INSTALL Snow Leopard on the Mac Mini or m, I was too impatient after the [Ctrl] restart using the OS X DVD?
- Is there an external utility that I should get to format the drive?
- I can do this in steps - can I install OS X on an external HD and then use it for the crater / rebuild the primary drive?
Input greatly appreciated!
Rade
usually it is booting by pressing the C key to start from the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive.
or start by pressing the Option key to get a list of the bootable devices that you can choose from.
See <Startup for Mac - Apple Support combinations>
NOTE: This does not imply that you run your Mac mini Snow Leopard. I guess that your wording she used to run Snow Leopard, and that your Mac mini still has a DVD/CD player are good signs.

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.

I have a mac 2009 i (late), I want again to install snow leopard (I have the disc), but my driver disk is broken! So I want to ask if there is a way to create a disk image of my windows pc to use it through the hard drive of my imac Lord?
External DVD USB drives are cheap. Usually $20 for a good quality player. Just buy one of these at Best Buy or another store and use it to install Snow Leopard. Then you also have a drive for something else that you have on the disk.

You could settle on a previous installation. Try this:
Go to your device manager and see if you have an old installation of the printer and right click Uninstall. You can also check if there is an old facility of the printer in Control Panel, printers, right click and delete it. Install the printer using the Add Printer Wizard. If it fails again with the same error, go to Device Manager right click on the name of your computer, click on "Scan for harware changes". He must find the printer and install it. Now you can check your printer if its work. If this does not work, please indicate your model of printer on your next reply.
