• 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.

• 10.5.8 update Snow Leopard disc

  Here are the details on my computer:

  Model name:	iMac
  Model identifier:
  Processor name:	Intel Core 2 Duo
  Processor speed:	2.66 GHz
  Number of processors:	1
  Total number of cores:	2
  L2 Cache Memory:	6 MB
  Memory:	4 GB

  When I bought this computer (fall 2009), it came with the drive for Mac OS X Snow Leopard.  I've never installed the disc and were broadcast 10.5.8.

  I'm ready to upgrade level and need advice.  Is there something special I need to do before installing?  I have Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 software installed and want that he kept intact / operation.  Other than that, I have all the important documents saved.

  Once installed Snow Leopard software, should I continue to be upgraded?  And what version (for example, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, El Capitan)?  This is where I get confused.  I read about the problems that occur if you upgrade exceeding the capabilities of your computer and it messes up other systems.

  Thank you very much for your help!

  You want to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 in order to get the App Store to improve in addition to newer versions.

  The first step in this process must be a full backup at all on your Mac.

  Your iMac can be upgraded to El Capitan 10.11.1. The important thing you lose beyond 10.6.8 is supported for the PPC code. He programs very old ones that have been written for the PowerPC processor, which used to go to Intel processor before Apple. As far as the problems go that the vast majority of them is caused by software of third fake that was installed on the Mac.

• updated from Leopard to Lion, now Flash is unstable and crashes. An ex-Microsoft I had updated Flasj, Lion, Mozilla and no question. When I opened more than 5 windos or tabs, Flash falls down regularly and I stopped using Mozilla

  The material is IMac mid 2010 release with the latest updates. A 4 GB memory. A great deal on Leopard, fails only with lion. The key is to limit open windows or tabs which is unacceptable for the use of the browser.

  occur even on Firefox 10?

• 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.

• My 1st generation iPod touch can not save on my iMac El Capitan but can to my MacBook Snow Leopard ' 08. Why the iMac think that the backup is corrupt?

  Of course, I'm using my iMac El Capitan, but when I bought the music today and went to add to my iPod touch iTunes ended up freezing. Long story short, I could delete the files from the iPod but can not add one; Adding a single song led to suspended iTunes and the cancellation of the synchronization via the iPod of course makes no difference.

  After going through all the rigamarole any attempt to delete all backups for iPod, both through preferences and in/Library/Application Support / MobileSync / Backup, I always had the same problem. I can't add music on my iPod via the iMac, nor can I save it there. Yes, I rebooted.

  And so, after many tears, I pulled out my MacBook ' 08, who narrowly missed the cut for El Capitan and so still has Snow Leopard. And now my iPod backed up very well! (I cursed myself for not to copy previous backup before it was replaced, but hey.) They are all under the same Apple ID, so at this point, I'm simply redownloading all of my new purchases on the ol' MacBook ' so I can add it to the iPod... but how long this will be a viable solution? (I realize using products Apple since 2008 is an affront, but you've got to do what you do I do, and I don't currently have pocket for 32 GB change.)

  So the question. Is there an incompatibility of software between my 1st generation iPod touch (3.1.3) and my iMac (El Capitan with iTunes 12.3.2.35 10.11.3)? Is there really a degree of corruption here than Snow Leopard with iTunes 10.6.8 11.4 (18) does not recognize?

  TL; Dr: I can do my iPod touch backup of my iMac?

  (My apologies for what is the format, I still haven't managed to brevity, and these a few hours researching in it made me frustrated).

  Edit: I forgot to mention that I tried to copy on the backup freshly prepared from the MacBook on the iMac and received the same exact error message.

• 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

• Snow Leopard in 2016

  Someone at - it still under Snow Leopard? I recently had to be converted to El Capitan as my Snow Leopard machine (Mint 2006 24 "iMac 2.33 GHz, 3 GB RAM, 500GB HDD) came down. It seems to be the GPU after many tests and diagnostics. I can still boot the old machine of SL in startup target Mode on the iMac 27 "most recent (2010 3.2 GHz, 12 GB of RAM, HARD drive 1 TB nine). The 27 "came with El Capitan. I don't like ELCapitan far, seems stable. 21.5 "iMac my wife (3.06 GHz, 8 GB RAM, 500 GB HDD) was still Snow Leopard and I was about to upgrade to El Capitan the other day that I was doing a job (add 4 GB of RAM, which in fact now, 8 GB of RAM), adding a new external HARD drive, and it cleaning inside and out...) but I decided to hold off. The iMac has run perfect with zero problems for 7 years now... hate to mess with that. I said I would not SL upgrade at all and held until my "Legacy" machine is down. Thought I like El Capitan, I will say that I miss good old snow leopard. My wife's IMac will stay with Sl for now.

  My question is General for the sake of the discussion...

  Is it always safe and viable to be under Snow Leopard in 2016?

  Apple leave supports SL years ago, this means that the security updates were not produced for some time. So if he is safe or not not to use is totally up to you.

• 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?

  It is not a 'bad' idea, but it is always best to use the version of disk utility which is part of the OS version installed. Do this by starting the computer from the Recovery HD.

  Fix the hard disk and permissions

  HD recovery start

  Restart the computer and after the chime hold the Order et R keys until the Menu of the utility is displayed.

  Repair

  When the Utility Menu appears, select disk utility and click on the continue button. Disk utility charges and select layouts withdrawal (usually Macintosh HD) entry of the list to one side.  Click the first aid tab, and then click the repair disk button. If disk utility reports any errors that have been corrected, then again run repair disc until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, click repair permissions . Wait for the process to finish, and then quit disk utility and re-enter the Utility Menu. Select restart from the Apple menu.

• 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.
