Trying to update iMac G5 with OS X Snow Leopard and unable due to no Intel proccesor. Are all new upgrades going to be unavailable? What is the last available upgrade?
I'm trying to update my parent's iMac G5 with OS X Snow Leopard and unable to do so because it doesn't have an Intel processor. Are all new upgrades going to be unavailable? What is the last available upgrade? Is it possible to get an Intel processor installed?
Thank you
Lindsay
Actually you can upgrade to snow leopard. I have an iMac G4 and upgraded to snow leopard by installing it using an external DVD RW drive. It was complicated but it worked. I ended up going back to using tiger though. I liked it better the simple old school way.

Expected in: /Library/Application Support/iWork '09/Frameworks/SFArchiving.framework/Versions/A/SFArchivingI'm having this issue as well only with a little different twist I guess. I'm transferring the iWorks applications from my Macbook Pro 3,1 with Lion to a new MBP 10,1 running Mountain Lion. I transferred the apps over using DropCopy since the older MBP doesn't have AirPlay. Applications show up but crash upon opening. This is the first install so there are no previous plist, versions or such to delete. All three crashed upon opening every time until I just had to have Keynote and purchased again - although Apple agreed to refund that purchase since my previous version quit working. Any ideas since I don't have any previous plist/versions to delete? Thanks in adavnce for any help you can offer.

I am trying to update my mac to os x snow leopard but the cd won't run on my computer
I am trying to update my mac to os x snow leopard but the cd won't run on my computer. I'm using an external dvd hardrive but I don't see why that would make a difference in wether or not it runs.
Well, that may be the cause of the no install problem, as Snow Leopard does require at least 1gB of RAM. The Apple link below will show how it is installed.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1651#link3
The link below is for a highly recommended site to purchase additional RAM.

How to wipe off everything from my 15 MacBook Pro? I bought my Mac in Middle 2010. It was with OS X Snow Leopard, and a few months ago, I installed the Lion, so I couldn't just insert the CD and reinstall.
Yes, you can and should. The DVD belong with the MBP. You should use the original DVD to erase the disk and install Snow Leopard prior to sale.
You can't sell it with Lion because it is authorized under your user ID.

I updated from os 10.5 to snow leopard and my logic 8 crashes upon opening. Does anyone know any fixes? thanks
Logic 8 should have no problems in SL.
Use Software update to check if you've got the latest update for it (SU will only offer an update if it's not already installed).
Failing that, I'd start by uninstalling Logic and re-install from the DVD in case something got corrupted during the update. -
Need some advice
I'm currently using snow leopard, and it seems that there's no graphic driver updates for a really long time.
Snow Leopard is no longer being updated, 10.6.8, was the last update. So, a "really long time," will be forever.
Yes, ML has graphic driver updates, but since there is no way to guess whether it impacts your unmentioned hardware, there is no way your question can be answered. -
Basically, I bought snow leopard and just installed it but its not recognising the fact that I've installed it. I've tried twice and it has restarted both times, but it hasn't done anything, and I need that to update to Mavericks, which I really need to do. Please help!
Then you've installed Snow Leopard.
It needs to be 10.6.8 so download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. Then try installing Mavericks.
Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
A. Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?

I am trying to update my software to Mac OSX Snow Leopard.
I have a mac book from early 2009 with an operating system of MAC OS X version 10.5.8. I am trying to update the software so I can sync with my iphone 5. I have the MAC OS X Snow Leopard CD and am ready to install. When I tried it the first time the installation failed at about half way and the screen went black with a pinwheel for almost an hour. After that it gave me the option to restore to the previous software. The computer is back to working but I would really like to be able to update the software. Any thoughts?
I am having the same problem. I can not download my update whatsoever. I emailed the support e-mail attatched in the original email, but have not recieved any news.

My Macbook Pro is 2008 and has 10.4.11 the guys at the genius bar said to upgrade to snow leopard to upgrade to lion and I shouldn't have a problem. I was told I need 1GB of RAM and I have 2GBs of RAM but the disc spits out every time after about 3 minutes.

You didn't buy anything from us.
These forums are user-to-user; no Apple staff are involved other than to moderate.
Meanwhile, I refer to you to X423424X's post. -
The question is in the title.
Yes. Graphic Converter 9 does support .pcd and you can convert it to something like jpeg or png.
You can download and trial it here:

I HAVE A IMAC OS X 10.4.11 IT IS 6 YRS OLD I WENT TO UPGRADE TO SNOW LEOPARD AND A BOX CAME UP THAT TOLD ME I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH MEMORY, NOW WHAT DO I DO TO UPGRADE TO SNOW LEOPARD?
If you are going to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard, then I recommend doing a clean install. You can backup your current system to an external drive which I strongly recommend, but that has nothing to do with your RAM (memory.) The error refers to the amount of RAM installed in your computer which I'm guessing is only 512 MBs while Snow Leopard requires a minimum of 1 GB. And, I would recommend installing the maximum your model supports which should be at least 2 GBs. This all assumes your iMac is an Intel model.
Open System Profiler in the Utilities folder and report what you see displayed for the Model Identifier.
BTW, please post using mixed case. All upper case is the equivalent of shouting, and it's harder to read than mixed case. -
Scanner that Works with 10.6 Snow Leopard?
Has anyone found a scanner that works with 10.6 Snow Leopard and also handles 35mm negatives & slides? My HP Scanjet 4570c is “dead in water.” HP has said they will not provide a driver update for this model.
If you, like me, are ****** off about how poorly HP is handling/not handling this scanner functionality issue then I suggest that you email the CEO, Chairman, and the Board of Directors of HP. I just finished sending my email to all of them. You can do the same by going to the web site listed below and follow the instructions on that web page. When I sent my messages I typed, "Do you care that HP is losing customers?" in the SUBJECT line of my email. I seriously doubt that this will result a solution to our problems, but at least you can let them know that they have lost another customer.

Newbie needs help trying to update iMac from OS X v10.6.8
Newbie trying to update iMac as far as it will go without having to purchase a new one yet. Can I update from OS X v10.6.8 to OS X 10.7 with the following specs: Intel Core 2 Duo; Processor Speed 2.66 GHz; Processors: 1; Cores: 2; L2 Cache: 6 MB; Memory: 2 GB; Macintosh HD: 63 items with 228.18 GB available?
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
