    Snow Leopard's Startup Disk pref can’t see Yosemite volumes. So the only way to switch from Snow Leopard to Yosemite is to do what Niel mentioned. Doesn't matter whether it's connected by USB or Firewire, although performance via FW would be faster.
    Are you saying that Yos/10.10, as a volume located in a mounted external drive won't appear as an option in Snow Leopard's Startup Disc, in Sys Prefs? I've never heard this one before. AFAIK any mounted volume, regardless of OS, should appear there. I would think that, if it appears in the Boot Picker/Startup Manager it would also appear and could be booted to from Snow's Startup Disk. I can't test this myself, since I don't have Yos. Is what you are saying documented somewhere?

    You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.

  • PSE 8 for Mac won't Install; running Snow Leopard 10.6.2

    Hi,
    When PSE 8 was released for the Mac, I bought a copy from Amazon.  I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.2 on two 24" iMacs and one MBP 15.3.  The Adobe installer would hang about three quarters through the installation.  I'm running PSE 6 for Mac without a problem.  I returned the software to Amazon without a problem.
    A month or two later I downloaded a trial version from Adobe's web site thinking perhaps the DVD I had gotten from Amazon was possibly defective.  Nope.  Same problem trying the trial version.  It just hung about three quarters through the install on all three machines.
    I'm running Photoshop Extended CS 3 with Snow Leopard and have no problems.
    What gives?
    Thanks,
    Linnie K

    Hi,
    I wouldn't know.  The first copy I bought from Amazon and returned.  The second one was downloaded from your web site as a trial and I removed all the bits and pieces after killing an hour with the installer.  I didn't think I could download the trial version a second time.
    I'm using a Mac with Snow Leopard 10.6.2.  My Photoshop Extended CSS3 and PSE 6 work just fine.  I'm afraid that if I deleted all you had suggested, I would have trouble reinstalling the two apps I just mentioned.  From what I've read on various forums,, Mac users (not all) are still having difficulty installing PSE 8.
    BTW, this is the only app I've had any problem installing on my system.  I deliberately waited for v. 10.6.2 to install the newer OS as there were earlier incompatibilities.
    Thanks,

  • What are the normal operating temps for a G5 Quad Core Power Mac Tower?

    I asked this within another thread but I am afraid it will get buried and think it deserves its own item.
    I just downloaded Temperature Monitor and have been looking at the data. I have no idea how to interpret the figures and there are no listings of specified upper and lower limits even though there is an area where those numbers should go.
    The numbers are constantly in flux, going up and down a degree or two but here is a recent example from a screenshot taken while I was running WORD (but not working on any document), Terminal, Apple Mail, Firefox (two windows open), Temperature Monitor, Preview, Dashboard and Finder:
    Air Tunnel 99.5 degrees F
    Air Tunnel Heatsink 92.8 degrees F
    CPU A Core 1 Diode 107.5 degrees F
    CPU A Core 2 Diode 107.8 degrees F
    CPU B Core 1 Diode 108.0 degrees F
    CPU B Core 2 Diode 111.5 degrees F
    Drive Bay 87.8 degrees F
    Graphics processor chip 131.0 degrees F
    Main Logic Board Air Inlet --- (this is always missing)
    Main Logic Board Backside 108.7 degrees F
    Memory Controller Diode 133.9 degrees F
    SMART Disk WDC WD2500JS-41M.... 104.0 degrees F.
    The icon for the program, in the dock, gives me an ever changing number that is perhaps an overall reading - an average. Right now the number is 106.4 degrees F (taken some minutes after the screenshot providing the above data). Always in flux.
    Do any of these temps look alarming? And HOW and WHERE do I find out what the temperatures SHOULD be?
    PS I have APPLE RAM.

    If you want to find out whether a sensor value is within normal limits, please select the menu item Window > Show Overview (or press Apple+1) and look for the limits in the third and fourth column of the sensor table. They contain the known official limits Apple has specified for readings acquired at the given sensor locations. If no limit is given in the table, this either means that it does not make sense to specify a limit for this particular sensor (e.g. the battery capacity should not have limits), or Apple hasn't published any specifications for this sensor.
    Note that all up-to-date Macintosh models automatically shut down or enter sleep mode if one of the readings exceeds a critical limit. For this reason it is impossible that your computer can be damaged in an overtemperature condition.

  • What is the normal operating temp for a 2007 iMac

    just wondering what it should be around since i never cleaned it out yet.
    heres some numbers

    CPU a Heatsink 53C
    CPU core 1 52C
    core 2 54C

    power supply position 1 80C
    smart disk wdc wd3200aajs-40 49C
    wireless module 58C

    As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...

  • What is the normal shut down time for the mac book pro retina display (late 2013). Mine takes around 20 secs.Is this normal or should i be worried ?

    Hi I got a new mac book pro retina display of 8G ram and 256GB ssd (late 2013 model). I was trying to shut down.It was taking around 20-30 secs.Is this normal? When i say shutdown i mean , i just login and shutdown.Do nothing else. I repeated the same process for 4 or 5 times. The numbers are the same.
    The boot up takes around 15 secs. Are the numbers crazy or normal.

  • What is the normal gaming temp of the new NVidia GeForce 750m? Mine is running at like 75c playing DAYZ on bootcamp?? Is this safe?

    I'm concerned =/
    Running on 2880x1800, the game runs smooth, but it gets really warm and the fan gets loud =/
    checked it with speedfan, 75c =/
    playing plugged into the charger, and running windows 7 ultimate. 64bit
    thanks for the input

    860M is a good GPU. I would like to know if this is one of your first gaming laptops?
    My suggestions -
    1) Play games at 1080p (max). The GPU you have cannot handle games at a resolution more than that.
    2) In most games, you will have to know the graphical settings and turn down the most demanding settings.
    (such as Ambient Occlusion, Post Processing FX, Tessellation etc,) You need to learn what these effects are how they affect your system.
    3) Take care of your system, like benchmark a game before playing to prevent overheating.
    4) Make sure the game you are trying to play is stable and optimized (otherwise you wont get the performance you want)
    5) Change desktop resolution to 1080p, adjust font and size sliders in Windows settings for optimal experience.
    If you want specific advice for an issue, let me know. Have a nice day.

  • I'm selling my macbook so I have formated the hard drive and I am trying to reload mac os snow leopard 10.6 but it keeps freezing?

    Can anyone help?

    Try a restart.
    If that doesn't fix the problem, shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • What are the normal Boot time?/Wake from sleep time? for MB?

    Looking to buy a MacBook for my wife to replace her old Dell D-420. The Dell still works fine but takes forever to boot and to wake from hibernation. I was given an old iBook a few weeks ago and was amazed at how fast it woke from sleep mode (the boot times were pretty snappy too). So my question is. What is the "normal" wake from sleep time on a MacBook? How long does a cold boot take?
    BTW: Steve isn't going to surprise us with an updated MacBook next week is he??
    Thanks
    Soon to be MacBook owner.

    lancia is right- 56 second sound about right, my 2.0 GHz MacBook boots in about 49 seconds.
    If you want your MacBook to boot up faster, you can reset the PRAM (parameter random access memory). What this does is that it resets all the devices it searches for when it starts up: forgets about them, literally
    To do this, press down the command (the buttons next to the space bar) , option, P, and R keys at the same time when you turn on your MacBook. Press these keys until you hear the tone a second time. Make sure to do it quick, because after you hear the tone it won't work.
    Hope this helps,
    Wookams
    To your BTW question:
    Almost certainly not, but I still recommend waiting a couple months extra because Apple notebooks usually update themselves every 200 days or so. I was disappointed from learning this, but hey...

  • What is the best investment tracking software for macs?

    what is the best investment tracking software for macs?

    Three issues to consider about an external HD:
    1. Connectivity. In other words, USB 2.0 and Firewire. If you intend to move large chunks of data at once, such as when streaming audio or video for professional applications, then Firewire is better suited for that. Otherwise, for normal applications, USB is ok.
    2. RPMs. In other words, how fast the HD platter spins around. Most consumer HD have a 5400 rpm (rotations per minute) speed. Some HD have a 7200 or even 10,000 rpm spec. The faster the rotation, the faster the access time, the faster information on the HD can be accessed. Not a critical factor unless you deal with audio or video.
    3. Brand. In other words, reliability. Best ones, form my experience, are Seagate and Western Digital. Go for Seagate if you can. I've never had any issues with a Seagate drive. You can also go to your local computer shop and they will have separate drives and enclosures, so you can customize the look and connectivity of your HD.

  • What's the normal fan speed?

    Hello, my fans have always been around 2000 rpm with both tiger and leopord, so I am wondering what is the normal range for fan speed when the computer is not running anything heavy.

    So, I'm not crunching much at the moment; yet I have 133 F and 3906 rpm. However, that doesn't signify. It was flat on a wood table. Now, laptop; Room fan now on. That fan is the main thing. I read a great overview, will post link if I can find it, that air is like fluid dynamics: a MBP flat on a table in an air conditioned room (no fanned air movement) will run hotter than an MBP with space under, with a room fan, moving warmer air. Yah, no, really true.
    Get freeware iStat Control 1.1 (1.2 soon): (http://www.islayer.com/), which will display fans' speed and temps in the menu bar, andmore, and make popcorn too, with the lavalamp thingee.
    Then I use Fan Control, 1.2, freeware, and set it up a tiny bit just to be cool: " ... Do you think your MacBook (Pro) is running to hot? Give Fan Control a try then. Some MacBook (Pro) are just to hot for daylong use. Fan Control adjusts the minimum fan speed depending on the current CPU temperature. For safety, it leaves the original automatic fan speed control intact ..." Leopard Ready, yah.
    http://www.lobotomo.com/products/FanControl/index.html
    Both are preference panes in System preferences, which is very elegant, imho. And yes I have Leopard still shrinkwrapped. I will take a stab at it soon. Goodbye, cruel world (nah).

    Not so sure of that "just plain logic." Allowing  sleep too often will cause wear on the drive -- excessive spin up and spin down. Temperature permitting, a drive will last longer if just left running.
    For other hardware, a lot will have to do with the internal temps. When it's quite hot here, I allow the computer to sleep more often. But otherwise, it's a bit of this and a bit of that. I wouldn't personally recommend running 24/7, although I know of several here who claim they do, with no apparent adverse effects over many years.
