Recommendation - cross platform synchronisation software Win7/Snow Leopard?

Greetings
Are there any software solutions that allow a Snow leopard Mac to be file synched with a computer running Windows 7 ?
Something that does not require a subscription is preferable.
Both are using the NTFS file format.
Many thanks for your time and advice.

Helpful but since I'm looking to move 2TB of data, not viable at the moment
Thank you anyway.

  • I have a macbook pro and the software with snow leopard only has upgraded to 10.5.8, do I need to purchase mountain lion to upgrade to 10.6.8?

    I have a macbook pro and the software with snow leopard only has upgraded to 10.5.8, do I need to purchase mountain lion to upgrade to 10.6.8?

    Your machine likely can't handle Mountain Lion 10.8 nor 10.7, if it does it will run slow and very higly likely a lot of your third party software and drivers for printers and scanners won't function anymore.
    It's because your 10.5 era (or earlier) machine is rather dated, hardware has advanced and is faster, the newer OS X versions have gotten bloated.
    I do recommend you call Apple via phone and order the 10.6.3 white retail disks, backup your personal data off the 10.5.8 Mac to a external storage drive and when the disk arrives, stick it in and run the upgrade installer.
    Once that's finished, reboot and use Software Update to get to 10.6.8 and stay there. You can buy stuff from AppStore, just don't upgrade to 10.8 (or 10.7) as thats when you'll have issues.
    10.6 should run your currrently installed PPC software and hardware drivers. But 10.7/10.8 will not.
    10.6 is receiving security and other updates from Apple as more than 50% of OSX users are still on it.

  • All the software from Snow Leopard remain in the launchpad.

    After upgrading my mac book pro from Snow Leopard to Lion this morning, I found out that all the old software from Snow Leopard still reamin in the Launchpad.
    For example, I now have two icons for dictionaries, two icons for safari, two icons for photo booth and so on. The icon for the old software won't work, but the new one works just fine (which makes sense, but I don't know why the old icon isn't replaced by the new one.)
    I understand that I can choose to delete the old icons one by one, but I'm just wondering if I'm the only person who is experiencing this right now.
    Also, did I do something wrong here? Is there anyway to take care of this problem?
    Thanks in advance!

    Downgrade Lion/Mountain Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

  • I have a mac  book pro that i bought in late 2009. My current software is snow leopard version 10.5.8. I would like to get the new lion operating system but I cant without first getting the latest version of snow leopard. it doesnt show on software updat

    I have a mac book pro that i bought in late 2009. My current software is snow leopard version 10.5.8. I would like to get the new lion operating system but I cant without first getting the latest version of snow leopard. however when I go to update my software it doesnt show that any update is available.

    10.5.8 is Leopard, not Snow Leopard. You need the Snow Leopard DVD;
    You can get it only by phone now from Apple.
    In the US, call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for a sales assistant. Last quoted price was $19.99 for the single-user and $29.99 for the family licence.
    For other countries, check here; http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    Don't forget to ask for Sales; the tech support guys can't help.
    If you want Lion, rather than Mountain Lion, the same Sales team can give you a download code to use at the Mac AppStore.
    To get the App Store, you need to update your new Snow Leopard from 10.6.3 (which is the version on the installer) to 10.6.8 with the combo update; http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Be warned that the upgrades will render a lot of older software unusable, and will need new drivers for printers and scanners in all likelihood.

  • I recently cleared my hardrive and reloaded the install software including snow leopard and now the browser is extremely slow. Any ideas

    I recently cleared my hardrive and reloaded the install software including snow leopard and now the browser is extremely slow. Any ideas

    Your profile says OS 10.5.8, Snow Leopard is 10.6.
    After installing Snow Leopard, did you do a software update? Apple menu / Software update ..
    If you have not run it yet, do so. It will give you the highest versions of Snow Leopard and Safari. That might help.

  • Can I use boot camp or other virtualization software with Snow Leopard Server?

    Can I use boot camp or other virtualization software with Snow Leopard Server?

    Boot Camp is not virtualization; it boots Windows natively on the Mac hardware. So Boot Camp would be irrelevant to running Snow Leopard Server. Parallels and VMWare Fusion both have at least "experimental" support for running Snow Leopard Server in a virtual machine on Mac OS X, though I don't know how robust it is as of this time. You might ask for opinions on the Parallels or VMWare forums.
    Regards.

  • I want upgrade my software to snow leopard. If I install it will I lose all my information on my computer?

      I want upgrade my software to snow leopard. If I install it will I lose all my information on my computer?

    It is always a good idea to backup your data prior to ANY update/upgrade.
    That being said, 10.6 is designed to upgrade without the loss of data if you are moving from 10.4 or later.

  • My iMac is frozen on a blue screen during an update software for snow leopard. What do I do? Turn off my imac?

    My iMac is frozen on a blue screen during an update of software for snow leopard. What do I do?  Should I turn off the computer?

    do a hard shutdown of the mac (holding down the power button until it shuts off) then do an SMC reset, the following article tells how to do this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    after doing this reset and restarting the mac, try again to install the update.

  • How do I reset my hard drive software to Snow Leopard?

    When I bought my 2009 MacBook, it was Snow Leopard, but it seems to lag now that it is on Lion. How do I reset my software?

    I actualy just got mine changed at Apple.
    Before you get it replaced or serviced, try doing a SMC RESET or NVRAM RESET.  If that doesn't work, then take it to Apple.
    Sometimes cleaning the area works but you have to take the battery out which is a pain.
    So I decided to take to Apple and they charged me $79 for a new trackpad assembly.  Total I spent for trackpad and labor was $104.00.  If they're not busy, you can wait for it if they have the trackpad assembly in stock.
    Good luck

  • TS1702 I upgraded software from Snow Leopard to OSX Lion. Now my Office Mac applications would not work

    Quite seriously, though, if you wish to use MS Office to it's full potential and if you depend on it on a regular basis, then upgrading to Office 2011 is the only reccommended way to go. You can use the free Apps mentioned, learn to use iWorks (which I love, but others don't) or make your system a shambles and lose your easy to use interface by the other method. Deduct the cost of Parallels from MS Office and it becomes pretty cheap, if that is the only PPC program you wish to use, which is the norm as PPC is long gone from development.
    MS Office 2011 is not expensive if it is one of your major work tools. Think of those who had to update their Adobe software!
    Anyhow Cheers

  • Functional Security Software for Snow Leopard?

    Hi everyone. I just made the move to Snow Leopard (10.6.1), and I'm curious about what security software is decent and available for SL. My school provides access to Symantec AntiVirus for OS X, but unfortunately the only version they provide is incompatible with Snow Leopard. I've been trying out ClamXAV, but on Snow Leopard it crashes quite frequently, and isn't very good at catching threats. I can't find much else out there that might be a good security solution...
    Today during a scan ClamXAV caught something called "PHP.Defash.B" in my Opera cache folders. I deleted the file, but I know it's never that easy! I never thought I'd see the day when a Mac could be infected by anything, but I'm slowly realizing that times are changing. Can anyone tell me what software would be best to use to keep things secure and stable, preventing Trojans, Hacks, and other malware? Thanks!
    Message was edited by: Carbonyl

    Snow Leopard's anti-malware measure has been regarded as rudimentary at best.
    The only complaint I've seen has been a claim that it only scans things that have been downloaded by Safari, but I only saw that in one place and have no way to verify whether or not it is true. It's hard to find malware information that doesn't come from the makers of anti-malware software, which can hardly be considered unbiased sources. They want you to buy their software, after all!
    If you've found a decent source where someone not affiliated with one of these companies has done some testing, I'd like to see it. (Not being sarcastic... I really would like more information, which seems to be sparse so far. Everyone seems to be taking Intego's word on the matter despite their obvious bias.)
    It's limited to two trojans, and doesn't seem to be something that will evolve over time.
    Currently, all Mac trojans in the wild are variants of the two that are detected. Whether or not this means that it will detect all these variants is unclear, but it seems odd that Apple would spend the resources to add this feature and not spend a tiny fraction more to add definitions that would match all current Mac trojans. Until I see a report from an unbiased source saying "I tested every known Mac trojan (and here's a list) and it didn't detect these," I'm going to assume that Apple didn't do something that makes no sense whatsoever.
    As to whether it will evolve over time, I'm not sure why you think it wouldn't. The current design makes it very easy to update a single, small definitions file with a security update.

  • Discussion forum software on Snow Leopard Server?

    Does anyone know if there is any discussion forum software included with Snow Leopard Server? Specifically, something like this support system itself? I know there's the wiki and the iChat server but they don't really seem to support this kind of open discussion system and I need something like this. I'm sure I could install something like Simple Machines Forum on the web server but, well, it's frankly too complex for most users if you ask me. Thanks in advance!

    nope, nothing like this is included. you'll have to install your own. there are many options out there.

  • Missing software after Snow Leopard upgrade

    My neighbor has recently installed Snow Leopard on her MacBook. She is a dial-up customer to her ISP and prior to the upgrade there appeared on her desktop a modem dial up "status" box that indicated her connectivity. It has disappeared and of course the big question mark shows up in her dock. I want to offer my help, but am not certain where to start. I showed her how to connect via system preferences and network, but not certain how I can create a shortcut or if there is a need for specific software from her ISP. Sounds like a basic Mac question and I hope there is help. Thanks

    The "statue" box showed the normal send and receive bars. It was just there, no drop down or menu. It appeared on top of the desktop. I looked in preferences for another way but may have missed it. The question mark in dock shows up whenever the system cannot find the executable file it needs to run. I did a search in Finder using the name of her ISP, but nothing showed up. I may need to look elsewhere or call the help desk of her ISP. She is connected. Her modem works fine, but you must get the process started via the System Preferences. If you have a hint or clue where to look I am open to suggestions. Thanks again.
