• 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.

• iMac 27 "2010 super reader accepts the Snow leopard installation disc, but does not seem to sit in the car to allow their reading

  Tips anyone?

  Thanks in advance

  I think you can find what you need in l http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-boot-snow-leopard-from-a-dvdrom.htm

  If who disobeys, then your drive may have problems.

  Further, create a clone bootable on an external HD. You will need either SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to make. Then, when you install a new HD, just boot from the clone and the format, the HD and restore the complete system of the clone.

• MacBook (13-inch aluminum, Late 2008) cannot install snow leopard

  So I'll try to fix computer for my mother, it's a MacBook (13-inch aluminum, Late 2008).  He was running very slowly so I did a factory of resets and tried to install a copy of snow leopard on it.  When I try to install it on my hard drive it says "Mac OS X does not have this disc."  The symbol for the hard drive has a yellow! sign on it (if it matters).

  (1) my question is what can I do to install the OS on this?

  Mavericks - OS would not install, I tried this right after the factory restore.

  -Unfortunately I can't eject the disc either-

  (2) that it has to do with my drive hard and how can I test that?

  Whence it the Snow Leopard disc? You must use a copy of Snow Leopard retail. 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.

  Snow Leopard erase and install

  1. Insert the Snow Leopard DVD in the optical drive and restart the computer.
  2. Immediately after hearing the chime hold down the C key.
  3. Release the button when the Apple logo appears, wait for loading to complete.
  4. After the installer loads, choose your language and click on the continue button. When the menu bar appears select utility drive in the Utilities menu.  After disk utility charges select the entry out-bumpy in the list aside (mfgr. size ID and disc drive.)  In the right side of the disk utility window, click the Partition tab.  Set the number of partitions of one (1) in the menu dropdown. Click the Options button and select GUID, click on OK, the value of the Mac OS Extended journaled format type. Finally, click on the apply button.
  5. Once the format is complete, quit disk utility.  Continue with the installation of OS X and follow the directions.
  6. Once installation is complete, the computer will restart in the installation wizard. After completing the Setup Wizard, you will use a new installation of Snow Leopard. Open the software update and install updates recommended.
  7. If you plan to sell or to give to your remote computer, then proceed as follows: once you reformat your hard disk and reinstall Snow Leopard, the computer restarts with a welcome screen. To leave the Mac in a State OOTB (Out Of The Box), do not continue with the Setup program. Instead, press the command and Q keys to stop the computer. The installation wizard will guide you the new owner through the installation procedure, after that it turns on the computer.
  8. Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 v1.1 updated Combo. If necessary. It is not necessary if you are selling or giving your computer away.

• 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?

  < link published by host >

  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.

• iTunes will not open in Snow Leopard

  I created a new 2009 Intel mini which had Snow Leopard pre-installed on it.  I had to manually transfer my files from leopard (10.5.8.) of my G4 mini on it.  I did not move something related to iTunes again.  However, the iTunes application (v.11.4) on the new mini does not at all.  I read messages that indicate should I uninstall and reinstall iTunes.

  My questions are:

  1. should I uninstall/reinstall iTunes?  If so, how should I do that specifically, that is, it involves more than just drag the iTunes application located in the Applications folder to the trash?  Are there files in other areas of the computer that should also be deleted?  If so, what are they and where are they?

  2. I have the Snow Leopard installation disc.  Is it possible to use to reinstall iTunes only?

  3. when I download iTunes to open on the new mini, what should I do to get the content from iTunes to my mini G4 copied (manually) in the Intel mini?

  Here's what's currently the user > library > music on Intel Mini with Snow Leopard:

• Process of return to Snow Leopard of El Capitan

• HP Photosmart Premium c309a doesn't fully work with Snow leopard 10.6.1

  I don't see any answers in the Forum on my printer model, so here goes-

  The printer is configured for a wireless connection.

  Cannot get IPhoto to print on a photo plate, no matter how I play with the settings in the Menu print.  However, using the keypad of the printer, I can print from the photo tray color photos using a flash drive.

  IPhoto and other apps, IWork 09 and ILife 09 will print to main paper tray, but not in color.

  Using the keypad of the printer, I can copy and print from the glass in BW and color.

  Cannot use Scan function Scanpro HP or the Device Manager, but can scan and print photo tray and main tray (but no computer or a drive - error message says no link found.

  All reports - network wireless, Network Configuration, Fax, printer status, test and HP homepage, say all right.

  I used suggestions from HP website without result, and the very nice fellow HP Chat Line, Manuel, told me in English that I have to contact MicroSoft for help.   I found a Web page apparently new to Mac users (HP printing from a Macintosh 10.5) and HP Mac-connect, but they do not seem to be updated for Snow Leopard.

  I have reinstalled Snow Leopard, nothing helps.  I also tried the suggestion of Forum to use the option installs on my Snow Leopard disc, but when I go through the steps and software options are listed, the printer list shows zero KB and the 'Continue' button is grayed out.  No help there.

  I also used most often suggestions - unplug the printer, restart the computer, etc, nothing works.

  HP is still working for the full feature software and driver for C309a compatible with Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard). You can check on the HP Web site for updates. What you have there is just the base driver which is preinstalled on your pc.

• HP Officejet Pro K550 will not appear in Snow Leopard 10.6.3

  When I try to print, I get an error message. I installed the new software of the printer from the Snow Leopard 10.6.3 install disc as the software on the HP site is only 10.6.2. Printer is ready but-mistake.  Printer was a network of airports on an old computer running Panther, now connected via USB to a MacBookPro upgraded to OS 10.6.3. I'm so frustrated I could tear my hair out!

  The printer is connected directly to a MBP or shared between both of them?  I'm a bit confused on this point.

  Your printer isn't a K550 plain or has he the ability to network (the K550 has a dtn suffix or such)?

  Do a software update, and then reset the printing system:

  -Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
  -Right (Ctrl) click the box of the print queue and select Reset Printing System.
  -Select the sign + to add again. Search for the printer, select it, and wait until the button 'Add' becomes available. Until it clicks.

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.

• Snow Leopard 10.6.8

  On my great desktop iMac now about 3 years I was happy until very recently, using gmail, and Apple mail. I chose to not pass beyond OS x 10.6.8 because this OSX allows me to use my Stylewriter venerable and faithful for printing: and I still have a dozen spare cartridges.

  The problem now is that Apple Mail and folders disappeared a month before. No sign an application of messaging in Applications index and found nothing, do a normal search. My listing of Applications index jumps from Onyx to Photo Booth.

  I tried to reinstall Snow Leopard using the 3 original disks that came with my iMac: DVD, iMac OS X installation to installation DVD Mac OS XSnow Leopard and iMac Applications installation DVD.

  But the mail is still missing.

  What should I do to retrieve the Apple's Mail application?

  GoogleMail works well on Google Chrome Firefox & - but I prefer layouts (missing) Apple by far.

  You have a backup, you can restore from?
