im trying to instal snow leopard on my macbook. its running tiger 10.4.11 and it meets all the requirements  but it ask me for a restart to begin instalation progres, i restar it and it doesn't happen anything. anyone can help me?

I assume the restart was prompted during the installation process?
First of all, that restart will take several minutes while files are moved into place and should not be interrupted.
If it fails, or you have interrupted the process, you'll need to boot from the installer (hold down the C key on startup) and use Disk Utility to erase the drive prior to continuing the installation.
That will wipe all data on the drive, though, so if you didn't make a backup before beginning the upgrade, you'll need to get your data off safely before proceeding. That may likely require the use of another Mac to access yours in Target Disc Mode.

  • My macbook is running slower than ever. I have done all the updates and installed MS Office 11. Any thoughts?

    Hi, all,
    My macbook is running slower than ever. I have done all the updates, emptied my downloads, and installed MS Office 11. I am not sure if I can do anything else?!

    arupp,
         I suggest trying to replace the RAM and the memory storage. This is hard and could potentially ruin your MacBook if you do this the wrong way. Another easier way is to erase thing that you don't need.

  • How do I get Snow to work with MacBook Pro running Tiger?

    I have a MacBook Pro running Tiger (obviously), and have been trying to get my Snow base station (a.k.a. Dual Ethernet) to work with it, but couldn't.
    After hours of searching these pages, Apple Support and Google, I found this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301510
    So...it seems like it can't be done. The question now is...what do I do? The Support page doesn't give me any help
    Anyone have any tips?

    Just to confirm, n5k, the article 301510 says, 'To administer the original AirPort Base Station (Graphite) or second-generation AirPort Base Station (Dual Ethernet) from a Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" computer, you must use AirPort Admin Utility'. It doesn't say it can't be done at all, just that that neither of the Airport Setup Assistants will work.
    I'm having the same problem as you, accessing the Internet from a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.4.6 (yes, obviously) through a Snow Base Station. Now I am wondering if we will be helped by the MacBook Pro SMC (whatever that stands for) Firmware Update which I am downloading now.

  • Having Issues with iTunes 10.5.3 and uninstalled. Cannot reinstall without upgrading to newest Snow Leopard? Using MacBook Pro running 10.5.8.

    Running OS X Leopard 10.5.8 and was having issues with my version of iTunes 10.5.3 (freezing and getting rainbow spinny wheel, not allowing me to do anything, while importing music from a different folder into the iTunes). Anyway, so I uninstalled iTunes and went to download the newest version (10.7 i believe) and after downloading and attempting to install, i was alerted that I cannot install and run this application without having the newest version of OS X 10.6 i believe. So, what I'm ultimately trying to figure out is if I need to spend $130(that i do not have) on Amazon to get the Snow Leopard 10.6.3 then pay another $20 in the App Store to upgrade to Mountain Lion as well? I need to have iTunes on this laptop due to having an iPhone 4 that needs to be able to be synced on this computer. Bottom Line is, I don't have really have $150 to upgrade all this at the current moment just to get iTunes back on my system. Any suggestions or am I basically having to drop the $150 just to get iTunes back so I can sync my iPhone 4 again? Ugh, this *****, really wish i hadn't uninstalled that version of iTunes..HELP!!! thanks in advance..

    Click here and install the software. If you decide to upgrade to 10.6 at some future point, phone the online Apple Store.

  • Install CD says my computer can't install Snow Leopard, yet it seems to meet all the requirements

    Hi, I have already checked to see that I meet the requirements in the instructions (and answers on similar questions). I am using a CD direct from Apple of the software (a copy of a 10.6.4 CD). Yet the install CD says it can't be installed on my computer and simply stops, its very vague about why.

    >(a copy of a 10.6.4 CD). That's your problem.  You got the wrong CD.  Any system with 10.5.8 will not be able to use a 10.6.4 CD.  The only 10.6 installer that will work with a 10.5.8 system (assuming it is Intel and 1 GB of RAM as G5 and G4 and G3 won't work), is the one with this label*
    Anything with a different looking label is system specific only for the vintage Mac stated on the label that was released with the 10.6.x release stated on the label, or anythign with Upgrade, Dropin  will not work on a 10.5.8 machine, unless that 10.5.8 machine was released during the 3 weeks prior to the August 28, 2009 release of Snow Leopard.  OEM discs will not work unless Apple offered it directly to you stating it would for your Mac model and vintage Mac.
    Contact AppleCare if you received the wrong disc from them.
    Contact the person who gave you the disc and tell them it is the wrong disc otherwise.
    You can buy a 10.6.3 retail disc with the above image if you have the system requirements for Snow Leopard from the Apple Store for $29.95.

  • Updates will not download anymore even though the computer meets all the requirements and it goes into and endless loop of connecting to the server, why?

    Firefox used to update automatically as it's set-up to do. Now it shows an update for security and asks to download it. Then it won't download it. The box shows a bar that continually shows that it's in motion and the message says that it's trying to connect to the server but it never does. I checked the system requirements for the download and it has the requirements. Your help information doesn't give an answer for this problem. I would need to talk to someone who can help. Is that at all possible? Thanks, chezo7

    You '''can not''' download version 8.0.x, the latest for your PPC MAC is the 3.6.24 version.
    Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac. Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

    3.6.24 version you can download from here:
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    by the way a group of Mac users have created their own Community Build from the "Firefox 4+" versions.

  • HT3209 My computer meets all the requirements to view HD video content, why can I not download and view it?

    I have all the minimum system requirements to view HD content on my computer. Why does iTunes tell me that I don't and cannot download my HD movies that I have already purchased? Why should I buy the SD version when my computer is completely capabile of viewing all HD content and has a very good video card with HDCP status showing that it's good?
    Please help so that I can get my movies downloaded.

    This is for the Windows 8-8.1 users out there:  If you have the Pro version of Windows 8 and just recently upgraded to 8.1, Microsoft automatically includes a Virtual Machine package called Hyper-V client.  It doesn't ask you if you want to install it, it just does.
    This may also apply to Windows 7 users who may have inadvertently installed some version of Hyper-V on their computer.
    The Hyper-V package installs a secondary video driver that breaks HDCP, which means you can't play HD movies even on a compliant system.  You need to get rid of it.  To do so:
    Go to Control Panel
    Programs and Features
    Turn Windows Features on or Off
    Uncheck "Hyper-V"
    Reboot.
    This applies to almost anything that requires HDCP, so if you're having trouble with Blu-Rays or Amazon Prime, that's likely the culprit.

  • Crashes while trying to reload Snow Leopard from the disc.

    I am trying to reload Snow Leopard onto a MacBook Pro. It crashes every time I attempt it. When starting up without the disc, I get a folder with a question mark. What is wrong? When attempting to start up using the Snow Leopard disc, it crashes.
    Any suggestions?

    The folder on the question mark is the firmware telling you it can't the bootable volume it was told to boot from.
    It might not know, or it's gone or the drive is dead or some other issue it can't find it.
    Hold the option/alt key down on a wired or built in keyboard and boot the machine into Startup Manager, there you can select from the bootable options if they exist or not corrupted.
    Also the disk can be inserted and booted (and ejected) from here as well.
    If after booting from the disk it crashes, the disk is likely bad or not compatible with that machine.

  • My macbook is running on OSX 6.8 and wont update to yosemite

    so my macbook (from 2011) is running on Osx 6.8 and meets all the requirements to update to yosemite, but when i go to the mac app store to download it it says that it cant download it. why is that?

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs.  You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

    install 6.5 before proceeding further. I coud not understand.
    Just what it says - install os 10.6.5 before proceeding further.  You can either do so through Software Update or use the Combo update from Apple's download site.
    You should repair permissions and restart your computer prior to updating and upgrading.

    I think we need more clarification.
    What do you mean by "download"? Only updates are available as downloads, the System software has to be installed from a DVD.
