IMac Help About Launchpad (beta) but it's for Mac OS X Snow Leopard?

I Installed Something Yesterday that I Thought was right but I Did not See It until today it's Launchpad but i thought it was for The Lion Version so when I Go into this Program Some iCons are Real Big & Huge & I Can't get out of it that fast & i don't know how to Uninstall this becouse it is not in My Applications folder I Had to put it there Myself but How do I Uninstall The Launchpad Beta Version cause i don't know how to do it?
The Reason why I Saw it cause I Have a Program on here called MacUpdate & I Been using it from the very beginning & I Like it, it keeps me Alert at all My Applications that need to be Updated & I Was Fooled on this part cause I Did not see this
Note: This app should not be installed in Mac OS X 10.7
so what should i Do now?
& When I Try & Delete it this is The Message I Get
“Launchpad” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by Mac OS X.
Launchpad (beta)
Version 1.1 (Beta 5.2):
Included major updates and improvements that will make Launchpad run like never before!
The user interface was revised and the system was fully rewritten with Objective-C.
The user can now set Launchpad via System preferences with a brand new Preferences Pane!
Requirements:
Mac OS X 10.5.8 - 10.6.8
Note: This app should not be installed in Mac OS X 10.7
Adobe Air
Platform:
Intel

Okay, those screenshots are really difficult to see anything because they're too small - you need to try to use the method I asked you to use by using the little camera here - it will put the picture in your post instead of a link to photobucket.
Anyway, couldn't tell from the System Preferences shot: can you choose the Macintosh HD copy as a startup disk? Or is the only one availabe your Macintosh HD?
And, on the Misc: are these important files?
Before we tackle your G drive problem let's try one thing and before you start this, please eject (drag to trash) the icons for your G drive and then unplug it.
there is one option you can try which would not involve your G drive - I don't know if it'll work because I don't know if you have the hidden recovery partition on your hard drive. But you can read this and then try to boot up while holding down Command + R and then follow directions; you want to reinstall your OS Lion - it will not erase anything, it will just install a new copy of your OS over the existing one - I am hoping that it will replace the Launchpad you got.

it will take a long time because you have to download the whole OS again.
If that works, we will then tackle your G drive problem and make a new backup, ok.

Help needed for Mac OS X Snow Leopard and Oracle Database

Hello - I currently signed up for an online Introductory Course for Oracle...we need to download the Oracle Database and I was trying to download version 10g on my Mac. Do I need to have Mac OS X Server to do that? I currently run OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). Alternatively, I have a PC with Windows 8 - is there a download available for this machine?

Currently, there is no available database software that is certified with Mac OS X.
Which version of Win 8 ? If you have a certified version listed at Oracle Database Preinstallation Tasks , then you can download and install 12cR1 from Oracle Database 12c Release 1 for Microsoft Windows (x64)</title><meta name="Title" content="Ora…
If you have Home version. you will have to install VM software (such as free Oracle Virtualbox), then install Linux in the VM (free from https://linux.oracle.com), then install 11gR2 or 12cR1 in the Linux VM - pl google for my blog for detailed steps

I purchase this approx 6 yrs ago, recently had to purchase Mac OS X Snow Leopard for my daughter new IPOD to work. But this crazy computer is extremely slow, why??? Please help. Very fustrated!

I purchase my Mac approx 6 years, recently purchase Mac OS X Snow Leopard disk for my daughters new IPOD to work, computer is extremely slow, others refuse to use it, why is it slow, I know very little about this computer and have hated it from day one! Please help. The most I have on this computer would be photos, never downloaded movies, and have approx 40 songs.

The best option to make it faster would be to manually go through and erase all of the junk (files you never use) from the computer. If you want a much faster way (depending on how many files you have, this can take much longer), you can copy the files you'd like to keep to an external HD and then erase and reinstall OS X.
Erase and Reinstall OS X using the OS X Install DVD
Note: This will delete all data on the disk. Back up important files before continuing.
Erasing and then reinstalling OS X can give you a fresh start, making your computer exactly as it was whenever you received it from Apple. This can solve various problems such as corrupt system files.
Insert your OS X Install DVD into the computer's built-in disc drive (if applicable) or your computer's external USB disc drive.
Shut down the computer by going to Apple () > Shut Down…
Select Shut Down or allow the computer to shut down automatically.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter into a power source and then connect it to your Mac if you have not already done so.
Press the Power Button to turn on the computer.
Press and hold the D key on the keyboard until the Recovery partition loads. If this does not work, shut down the computer, press the Power Button to turn on the computer, and then hold in the Alt (⌥) button immediately after you press the power button. Then, select the Mac OS X Install DVD to boot from the Mac OS X Install DVD.
Select Disk Utility and then choose Continue.
Select your startup disk (Macintosh HD by default) from the left.
Select the Erase tab.
Choose the Format pop-up menu and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled), enter a name for your disk, and then click Erase.
After the disk is erased, choose Disk Utility > Quit Disk Utility.
Select Reinstall OS X and then choose Continue.
Follow the instructions.
I hope I helped.

I need help exporting Apple Mail messages to Outlook for MAC 2011

Good morning,
I need help exporting Apple Mail messages to Outlook for MAC 2011. Please....

It is possible to do this without external tools, but it is a tremendous faff. See
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macoutlook/import-ema il-from-mail-to-outlook-2011/5e858173-e1f4-4adc-99d7-253cc467169d?page=2 for details.
The easiest way, however, is to use Mail Exporter Pro https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mail-exporter-pro/id675131616?mt=12 which will convert the email for you from one format to the other, and comes with an excellent manual.
A third possibility is to connect Apple Mail to an email account via IMAP (this doesn’t have to be your usual account, you can just create a Gmail account for the purpose) . Copy all the messages into it and they will be uploaded. Then connect Outlook 2011 to the same account, via IMAP again, and let the messages download, then copy them to wherever you want to keep them and disconnect from that account. This is slow but preserves the attributes of your email (e.g. read/unead) better than any other method.

Will Mac OS X Snow Leopard INSTALL on a IMAc g3 slot lOADER?

will Mac OS X Snow Leopard INSTALL on a IMAc g3 slot lOADER?
Message was edited by: Youngzink13

That's what we needed.
Officially your iMac--known as a "tray-loader" for its optical drive type--can go to Panther (10.3.X). Panther is quite better than Jaguar (10.2.8) that you now have. You probably need more RAM than 160MB for even Jaguar. I feel that 384MB is about min for that OS.
The big problem is that the early iMacs came with painfully small hard drives --4 to 6 G--and OSX need a lot of free space on the disk for efficient performance. It's hard to keep a Jaguar system under 2G with a few useful apps installed.
Bottom line: you'll spent money for a hard-to-find retail OS install disk, more RAM, and a bigger hard drive, and you'll still have a slow computer that will always struggle with modern web pages. If you want to upgrade and experiment as a hobby or learnign experience and you can afford the parts and time, by all means--go for it. However, if cost is an issue, throwing money at this unit is not cost-effective in terms of how much more yo ucan get from it.

Why cant i install Mac os x snow leopard on my Imac early 2011

I have mac OS x mountain lion and I'm trying to downgrade to snow leopard by making a partition and trying to boot the install dvd that I just got but when I try to boot the install dvd by holding down (c) or doing it in the system preferences > start up disk the apple logo just appears can someone help

There is no Early 2011 iMac. There are Mids and Late. That's it. Mids came with 10.6.6 or 10.6.7. The Late requires 10.7. It's a convoluted process for the Mids, but you can install Snow Leopard on them.
How To Run Snow Leopard On A New Mac
This does not apply to new Mac Minis or MacBook Airs. When newer models are introduced that also require Lion for hardware support, the techniques described below will no longer work with the possible exception of using Parallels 7.
What has to be done:
1. Create a new partition on the hard drive.
2. Get a clone of a 10.6.8 Snow Leopard system. Put the cloned Snow Leopard
        system onto the new partition.
Step One: Create a new partition on the hard drive
To resize the drive and create a new partition do the following:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
               COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart
               the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until
               the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the
               downward pointing arrow button.
          After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3.           In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
4.           Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a new volume on the drive.
It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss. Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
Step Two: Obtain a clone of a Snow Leopard system:
You will need access to a Mac already running Snow Leopard. You will need a 16 GB USB flash drive or an external hard drive to which you can clone the Snow Leopard system from the Mac that has Snow Leopard installed. Alternatives are:
Option One:
Install a new Snow Leopard system onto a USB flash drive. Boot the Mac used for installing with the USB flash drive. Update the flash drive system to 10.6.8 using the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard. Verify that you can boot the Mac with the USB flash drive.
Take the USB flash drive to your new Mac and try booting from it. If it works then clone the system from the flash drive to the newly made partition:
          Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination
      entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new partition on the internal drive. Source means the USB
flash drive.
Option Two:
If you have a large enough external drive you can erase and use, then it would be easier to just clone the entire Snow Leopard system from the source Mac computer to the external drive.
          Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination
      entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external drive. Source means the Snow Leopard Mac's
internal drive.
After cloning verify that it will boot the source Mac. If so then take the external drive to your new Mac boot with it. If all is well then restore the clone to the new partition on your new Mac:
          Restore the clone using Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination
      entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new partition on the internal drive. Source means the external drive.
You will need a retail copy of Snow Leopard. If you need to purchase Snow Leopard contact Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The price is $29.00 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.

I have a Mac OS X Snow Leopard version and my fan keeps coming on. I have been away for a week so it has not been used and yet when I started it up the fan started straight away. Is there anything I can do? Please help! Thanks

Yes, look in Activity Monitor (Applications /Utilities /Activity Monitor.app) and see what it eating up all the %CPU. If anything is over 40%, post the name here to get advice or just kill it straight away with the red 'Quit' button.
If nothing is using up CPU resources, but the fans are going full blast, do an SMC reset. Read the instructions here:

Hi cb-anc! Thank you for replying to my question. The Library application has disappeared,not the library folder. I went into the application a couple of days ago to trash some plist files and now the application has disappeared. I haven't upgraded to Lion but am still on now Leopard.

ORIGINAL Mac OS X Snow Leopard into 2 imacs?

Can I install the same original dvd mac os x snow leopard in 2 imacs? Both of them has a mac os x 10.5.8.

There are two answers to that question:
1. Can both Macs run Snow Leopard?

2. Unless you have the family set, your install DVD is only licensed for ONE Mac.

i have a mac os x snow leopard. my problem is that when i go to the ethernet settings it shows 'not connected'. i called the internet person even he couldn't fix it PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

System Preferences > Network > Ethernet? If that shows "not connected" that is all your Mac knows. As far as it is concerned there is no cable connected to the port on your Mac, or the other end of the cable is either disconnected or connected to something that is broken.
Try another cable. If the cable is broken you will also get that status message. If you have exhausted all of these possibilities, the only remaining cause is an inoperative port on your Mac.

Erased Mac OS Lion, But how can I reinstall Mac OS X Snow Leopard

Greetings
I had erased Mac OS Lion, and I woudl like to Reinstall Mac OS X Snow Leopard agine from DVD installer?
I have MacBook Pro, i7
have a nice day
Suleyman

Infact, I didn't deleted any partition, I created a new partition, in windows, using Computer Manager, then I formated this new partition, after that, it seems that windows changed the other partitions !!
I boot my MacBookPro using a snow leopard Mac DVD, and click on Disk Utility.
There is 3 partitions:
Disk0S1 440 GB
Disk0S2 60GB
Disk0S3 2MB !!
partition type for three of them is Wondows_LDM, not Mounted, and no more info about other parameteres.
When I click on repair disk, or verify disk, it says: "reparing volume failed: Unrecognized file system"
Note: when I purchased my macbook pro A1278, The Original osx was Lion.

I have a question? I update my macbook pro but every time I do and I go back to where it says software update it says that if I want to update my pro I just did, and Im using Mac Os X snow leopard is it that I have to upgrade to lion?
