I have a macbook pro running snow leopard. Just recently I cannot view youtube videos and other online videos. I recently updated my flashplayer plugin and I believe that is the problem. Is the latest flashplayer plugin compatible with 10.6.8? If this is so, I need to find an older flash player plugin to reinstall. I do not want to upgrade from 10.6.8 at this time because I have 18 yrs. worth of financial records on Quicken that I have read will not work with Lion and I've read bad things about running music programs on Maverick.

1)  Quicken 2007 for Intel (Snow Leopard, Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks) is a full featured app that can be downloaded from Intuit for $15 and will work with your data file if you are using Quicken 2005, 2006 or 2007 (if you version is earlier, let me know for more instructions on easy conversion):

2) Partition your hard drive, or add an external hard drive and install Mavericks there and "dual-boot" to operate your music programs in Snow Leopard and experiment with them in Mavericks.
DO NOT install Mavericks over Snow Leopard!

    I'm using a macbook pro, running snow leopard. Yesterday I got around to emptying my trash for the first time in quite awhile and was surprised by how much there seemed to be in there. Immediately after a question mark symbol appeared on all my hard disk folders. If I click on these question marks I get a message saying ' the item can't be found'.

    Not sure where these hard disk folders are located that you are referring to?  Finder, Finder tool bar, Finder side bar, Desktop, Dock? 
    More then likely they are  an alias that not longer point to the orginals,  thus the question mark.
    I would reboot.  Delete icons if an alias and just recreate by dragging from the source. Try right click (control) click to remove.

  • I have a new l7 macbook pro running snow leopard.  When I try to boot into windows7 32bit, I get either a blue, black, or flickering screen.  Then I have to physically shut down and try again.  At that point it will load correctly.  Any help?

    I have a new l7 Macbook Pro running snow leopard.  When I tried to to install windows 7 32 bit on bootcamp, I kept getting a flicking black and blue screen when it tried to install. (Tried several times).  I finally downloaded the bootcamp windows support to a flash.  I inserted that and finally got it installed.  Now when I try to boot into windows I get either a solid black (sometimes blue) or flickering screen and windows will not start up.  If I then physically shut down the mac and restart, it will finally boot into windows where it tells me that windows was shut down unexpectently and once I click start windows normally, it will boot up.  That will generally let me boot into windows for the remaining of the day.  The next day, the same thing happens again.  I have tried reinstalling several times, and the same thing keeps happening.  It is not my windows disk because it installs flawlessly on the mid 2008 macbook pro.  Anyone know how to fix this?

  • I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard and foolishly upgraded to Yosemite.  Is it possible to go back in time with Time Machine and reinstall Snow Leopard.  Then upgrade to Lion or Mavericks?  Any other ideas on how I can exit Yosemite?

    I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard and foolishly upgraded to Yosemite. Now have numerous problems.  Is it possible to go back in time with Time Machine and reinstall Snow Leopard?  Then upgrade to Lion or Mavericks?  Any other ideas on how I can exit Yosemite?

    Once you get yourself back to Snow Leopard, if you still want to upgrade somewhat, I would suggest the following:
    1. Get an external hard drive that you can use for experiments with new OS versions. You could partition it into 2 or 3 partitions. You could then clone your existing Snow Leopard system to one partition using Carbon Copy Cloner (well worth $40) or SuperDuper ($25).
    2. Buy OS X Mountain Lion for $20, through the Apple online store (I don't think it's available through the App Store). Apple has decided to make it very difficult for anyone to get Mavericks unless they have already downloaded it.
    You will receive two e-mails from Apple, one containing a PDF with a redemption code, and one with the password you will need to unlock the PDF. Using the code, you will download Mountain Lion from the App Store, where it will appear among your Purchased items.
    After ML finishes downloading, its installer app will launch itself. When you see this launch screen, QUIT the install app immediately! Go to your applications folder, find the Install OS X Mountain Lion app, and copy it to a safe location outside of your Applications folder. Keeping one or more copies will allow you to reinstall without unnecessary aggravation if you later need or want to do that. At this point, you can re-launch the Installer in the Applications folder and let it run. You can install it on a clean partition on your external HD, or you can allow it to upgrade the Snow Leopard clone you created on your external drive, or you can do both. This should allow you to test how everything works for as long as you like.
    3. If you left yourself a free partition on your test drive, try a clean install of Yosemite and set everything up from scratch (do not migrate anything). This will allow you to see whether your problems with it were related to something in your Snow Leopard system.

  • I have a MacBook pro on snow leopard - do I need to get lion prior to changing to iCloud ?

    I have a MacBook pro on snow leopard - do I need to get lion prior to changing to iCloud ?

    You can migrate to iCloud whilst still using snow leopard, but you will not be able to sync your calendars and contacts on your Mac.
    If you are asking whether you should get Lion before or after migrating to iCloud, it really doesn't matter, but I think I would prefer to get it before migrating to iCloud .

  • My macbook pro running snow leopard updated a while ago, and now the low battery warning just pops up every 10 seconds even after I click ok, unless I plug it in. HELP!

    Does anyone else have an issue of their macbook over warning? I like getting a warning when I'm at like 15%, 10% 5% and 1%. But the warning shouldnt be coming back the second after I click ok. It is extremely annoying!

    Power or other problems related to unexpected system sleep, shutdown, lights or fans call for an SMC reset. Read all the steps.
    Before Resetting the SMC
    Try each of the following steps in this order before you reset the SMC. Test the issue after completing each troubleshooting step to determine if the issue still occurs.
    Press Command + Option + Escape to force quit any application that is not responding.
    Put your Mac to sleep by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Sleep. Wake the computer after it has gone to sleep.
    Restart your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Restart.
    Shut down your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Shut Down.
    Resetting the SMC on Mac portables with a battery you can remove

    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Still having problems? Replace steps 6 and 7 with the following:
    Reconnect just the MagSafe power adapter.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer,
    Then reconnect the battery.
    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if it's not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time. The power adapter indicator light will cycle off / on once.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.

  • Photoshop CS2 keeps crashing on MacBook Pro running snow leopard

    I have been using CS2 on my MacBook Pro for more than two years.  Just two days ago, the Photoshop application began to UNEXPECTEDLY QUIT every time I opened it.  All other apps in the CS2 are working fine.  I have NEVER had a problem with the CS2 or this application.  I did download a trial of QuarkXpress 9 and a trial of Office for Mac 2011, but that should not have any effect on the CS2.  I went to the Apple store and we reloaded my system software (Snow Leopard) and updated back to my original 10.6.8 system but Photoshop keeps quitting.  I called Adobe tech support just now and we spent over 90 minutes, re-installed Version Que and still Photoshop keep quitting.  We changed the Administrator and that had no effect, Photoshop keeps quitting.  There is no common action that causes it.  I can be cloning and it will freeze, I can flatten, cut and paste and save, then it quits.  Any suggestions?  I cannot afford to upgrade to CS5 and I am more concerned WHY this would happen out of the clear blue...I have not added any typefaces.  Any suggestions?

    You really, really need to upgrade.

  • Cant install Windows 7 on MacBook Pro running snow leopard.

    I just got a shiny new Macbook Pro and i tried to install Windows 7. I partitioned the drive using Boot Camp assistant and proceeded to install Windows 7. Windows 7 Installation started and then it said it cant find device drivers for CD/DVD drives. Since my Windows 7 disk was stuck inside the drive at this point with no way to eject it, i took the Leopard installation disk and connected it through a external USB DVD drive. Then was able to browse the DVD and look at the Bootcamp drivers. But pointing the windows installer to all the directories still came up with "No device drivers found". Though, my leopard installation disc has a folder called x64 drivers etc... Any suggestions ?
    Thanks.

    1) BootCamp .rtf at root of Leopard disk:
    Double-click setup.exe, in the root level of this disc, to install the following:
    • Boot Camp drivers, which allow you to use your Mac-specific hardware with Windows, including your Apple keyboard, mouse, trackpad, and built-in iSight camera. For more information on Boot Camp, see <http://www.apple.com/bootcamp>.
    • Remote Install Mac OS X, which allows MacBook Air users on your local network to install Mac OS X using a Mac OS X installation disc in your computer's optical drive. For more information, refer to the MacBook Air User's Guide.
    • DVD or CD Sharing, which allows MacBook Air users on your local network to use your computer's optical drive. For more information, refer to the MacBook Air User's Guide.
    If you can't find the MacBook Air User's Guide, download it from <http://www.support.apple.com/manuals>.
    For more information on installing Boot Camp, restart your Mac in Mac OS X, open Boot Camp Assistant (in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder), and click Print Installation & Setup Guide. 
    2) You can eject without having right click by clicking desktop Computer icon which opens Windows explorer and a view of drives C:, E;(likely your cd/dvd.) if you highlight this with mouse cursor, you can Eject from column above drive icon.
    Using Windows Explorer, In the Boot Camp Folder on the Leopard disk is Setup.exe Running this should install Bcamp & drivers for you.
    For me autorun at leopard disk insert has 3 icons to select from; for boot camp installation is third or one on the bottom. Maybe you don't see it due to screen resolution setting.

  • Mini DisplayPort to VGA isn't working. It won't recognize any external monitor. It worked just fine with my older spring 2011 MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard, but now with my brand new 2012 MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion, it no longer works

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro this summer and was all excited. But I'm very frustrated right now because I can't connect to any external monitors through VGA. My thunderbolt (DisplayPort Mini) to HDMI works just fine, but when I try with my other connector to go from Thunderbolt (DisplayPort Mini) to VGA, Nothing works. my screen goes blue and changes size like it recognized something but nothing is ever detected on the external moniter or projector. I'm not sure what is wrong but it's very frustrating. I'm just very depressed that it worked just fine with my 2-year-old MacBook Pro but isn't working now. I'm running OS X 10.8.2. I just upgraded yesterday from 10.8.1 but that upgrade did nothing to fix my problem. Can anyone help? Thanks

    I am haveing this exact same issue. I have plugging in 3 monitors and tried two different VGA to mini displayport and nothing is working. I recently bought a Acer monitor and it work for an hour and now it back to doing the same thing.
    When I plug the VGA adapter in to the monitor the monitor think its not connected to a computer then when disconnecting the VGA adapter the monitor thinks it is connected to a computer.
    NEED SOME HELP!!! at the point of all my hair is pulled out.
    ^^^
    that is the same problem i am having! if anyone can help that would be great i'm losing my mind over here

  • ITunes 10.5.2 Freezes MacBook Pro Running Snow Leopard

    A few days ago, my wife and I downloaded the iTunes 10.5.2 update to our MacBook Pro machines. When each of us launched iTunes, the program seemed to  "freeze" our whole machine. We were attempting to sync our iPhone 4S units, and the laptops became mostly unresponsive, with the arrow cursor only respond to swipes every few minutes. My phone did sync, slowly, but I had to use the control-option-escape Force Quit to quit iTunes, at which point the machine became responsive again.
    I restarted the machine and launched iTunes without trying to sync my phone. At first all seemed fine but then the cursor stopped moving again. I was able to Force Quit yet again.
    It seems to me that the new 10.5.2 version is creating a major issue for both of us, and presumably others as well. I'm looking for a solution so we can actually run iTunes. (My hope is that Apple is aware of this and will push a 10.5.3 very soon.)
    Any useful advice will be welcome.

    The problem seems to have been solved. I took my computer to the Genius Bar at the local Apple Store this afternoon, and the gentleman who helped us did so by checking for software updates. Apparently, even after updating the software on your machine, you should do it again immediately for anything it might have missed.
    In this case, there were a few cycles of firmware updates that needed to be installed. After they were, iTunes no longer exhibited the problem it had just a few minutes before.
    We will try this solution with my wife's computer tonight and hope if it works.
    Anyway, I am cautiously optimistic about this fix. If your machine is exhbiting the same issue, try looking for more firmware software updates, install them, repeat the process until your computer says that the software is up to date, and then launch iTunes.

    To expand on Niels post...
    First you need to check that your current Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
    Snow Leopard Specs:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    If it does... then you need to Purchase and Install the Snow Leopard Disc,
    Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
    ( It should be noted that Apple will send paid MobileMe members the Mac OS X 10.6 DVD for free.)

  • Have a MacBook Pro running Lion and an IMac running Snow Leopard. Want to Back up both images and restore on opposite machine. Essentially swapping images between hard drives. Is this possible and any "gotcha's" to look for? Thanks

    Have a MacBook Pro running Lion (10.7.9) and an IMac running Snow Leopard (10.6.8). Want to Back up both images and restore on opposite machines. Essentially swapping images between hard drives. Is this possible and any "gotcha's" to look for? Thanks

    If the MBP came with Lion, it most likely won't boot with SL. Easiest thing to do is create a bootable backup/clone of each to an ext HD, partitioned to hold each on a separate volume, ensure that the original machines can boot with their respective clones, and finally, try booting the other machine with the other clone. Images are useless since you can't boot with them to test them out.

  • If I upgraded my MacBook Pro from Snow Leopard to Lion via the web and now wish to erase the hard drive and restore it to factory settings to sell.  How do I accomplish this?

    I upgraded the operating system on my MacBook Pro from Snow Leopard to Lion via the web.  Now I need to erase the hard drive and restore it to factory settings, so that I can pass it on.  How do I accomplish this?  When I insert the Mac OS X install disk, the only option is to erase the free space.  Any insight would be appreciated.
    Thank you

    You need to boot off the original Snow Leopard DVD's that came with the system.
    Once you are running off of the DVD you will be able to do a clean install of SL
    To boot off the DVD with the system up running Lion insert the DVD. Open Sytem Preferences->Startup Disk and select the DVD then restart the machine.
