Aperture 1.5 on a new MB Pro with Snow Leopard

Just tried to install my old Aperture on my new MB with Snow Leopard. Didn't work. Is there a fix for this other than buying the 3.0 update.

It won't run on that OS, and you can't install an earlier OS on that hardware.
The good news is that you're eligible for the upgrade price- US$99.

  • Want new Mac Pro With Snow Leopard

    I am after a new Mac Pro with Snow Leopard.
    I understand that some of the newer Mac Pros can have Snow Leopard installed.  Some tell me that in the recent past Apple made a change that made installation of Snow Leopard difficult or impossible on a Mac Pro.
    Does anyone know with a reasonable degree of certainty how to tell if a given Mac Pro can have Snow Leopard installed?
    I called Apple about a refurbished Mac Pro, they don't know what operating system it will come with!  And they don't know if it will include OS installation disks.

    For what it is worth, I recently went through this drama.
    Well, it's worth a lot!
    it is theoretically possible for Apple to modify the firmware to prevent Snow from booting, but my experience is that this has not happened yet.
    How long ago did you purchase your Mac Pro? (I miss the old days, when users would modify their own firmware.)
    See if you can buy from a seller who will let you test this out. There are some nice retailers out there, especially when you are dropping $1000s on a new Mac Pro.
    I've been looking for a while now, Mac Pro sellers that have Snow Leopard know how valuable there machines are. There are no bargains if you want snow leopard.
    We couldn't install Snow directly on the Mac Pro, so I installed on another computer (an older Mac Pro), and updated to 10.6.8 and swapped the drive across. This worked without issues.
    I currently own a 2008 Mac Pro (2,1) with 10.6.8
    See if you can buy from a seller who will let you test this out.
    Why not Apple?  They have a 15 Day return policy.   When I called Apple recently the person I spoke to suggested this.

  • HP 1312nfi Multi-funtion printer & brand new Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard

    Hi,
    I just got my Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard May 2010. I can only print and fax with my 1 year old HP 1312nfi color laserjet multi-function printer. I cannot SCAN at all. I tried loading the software that came with the printer but it wouldn't install the 'Print Director' as I had on my old iMac (with Leopard). Then I went to HP and it said not to install the software that came with the HP printer because Snow Leopard has it all. I read that there are 3 ways to scan from my computer which none of them work. I brought up the printer then clicked printer setup and when I try to bring up the 'print utility' from the last tab, it won't open anything. Where is the printer utility now? Why can't I scan? There has to be a way. HELP please?

    Found the answer on the HP site. It's the original software that works with this printer OS X 10.6!!

  • New Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard, can't check Epson R320 ink levels

    Hello,
    A lady on the phone at Epson told me how to do this a few months ago, but I've forgotten, and I can't find the secret again. I keep getting "not available".
    Anybody know how to do this?
    Thank you.

    This is a tough one for Epson, too. They are quite helpful, and are going to call me back today, after we were trying to fix this for 40 min. yesterday. A new driver for Snow Leopard is coming, but they want to find a way for me to see ink levels now.

  • Mac Pro with Snow Leopard instead of Lion?

    Planning to replace an aging G5 with new Mac Pro. The machine's primary usage is editing in FCP (not FCP X). Most projects are long form and I'm in the middle of one right now that will be in post for the remainder of the year. Can I get the new Mac Pro with Snow Leopard (running 10.6.8 currently) instead of Lion to avoid potential issues moving the project over?

    Not if you buy it new. All of them come with Lion. However, the current Mac Pro's originally shipped with Snow Leopard, and while it's not entirely clear, it may be possible to install Snow Leopard on a new Mac Pro. There are a number of threads here discussing that but the Cliff's Notes version is that the 2010 Mac Pro requires at least 10.6.4, and the last retail version is 10.6.3 so the retail installer won't work. If you can't get Apple to send you the Snow Leopard installer that once shipped with the Mac Pro, posters have said you can't use 10.6.4+ installers specific to another recent Macs to do the job. However, there is a discussion here http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20120123175902871 which explains how that can be made to work. I haven't tried it (I got my Mac Pro while it was still shipping with SL), I don't know if it would actually work, and I don't know if it's even legal, but there it is.

  • FreeHand MX on the new Mac Pro under Snow Leopard?

    Just wondering if anybody is managing to successfully run Adobe (Macromedia) FreeHand on the new Mac Pro under Snow Leopard?
    We often need to access a lot of archived FreeHand files and are wondering whether we should keep an old G4 tucked away just for this job when we next update our Macs.
    Thanks,
    Jona

    Hi jona;
    A quick Google search produced a number of sites such as this one that basically say that freehand doesn't do so well on Snow Leopard. You suggestion for maintaining an old G4 sounds like a good one to me.

  • Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard, Win 7 & Ubuntu, can't upgrade to Lion

    I have new 13" macbook pro with Snow Leopard on it.  With a combination of boot camp and some disc partitioning trickery, I got windows 7 and ubuntu on it as well.  Furthermore I also have a shared data (fat32) partition on the machine (so 4 main partitions - win,mac,linux,shared - plus swap partition, efi, etc).
    I just download Lion and I'm trying to start the installer, but when it asks me which partition I want to install it on, all options are greyed out and the Macintosh HD partition says somethign to the effect of "this disc cannot be used to start the computer".  Is there any way for me to get lion installed without having to erase all my extra partitions and start this whole agonizing process over again?

    You may be out of luck without formatting your HDD. See this article from Macworld:
    (At least Recovery HD should be created. In our testing, it appears this special partition is created only when you install Lion onto an internal drive formatted with a GUID partition scheme. In addition, that internal drive must initially have only a single partition; or be a multi-partition drive that was partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant and not further modified afterwards. So not everyone will get this useful feature. Apple has confirmed some of these restrictions.)
    Also, see these Apple KB articles:

  • My macbook pro with snow leopard does not startup completely

    i have a macbook pro with snow leopard. When i start up my boot up process if ok but then turns black before it goes to login. i close the top to see if it is on. it is, and then when i lift the top up my login shows. it seems to be stalling in start up mode. i did take it to my local mac guy and they gave me a new logic board as they said my particular year (2008) had a recall on my motherboard. However i still have problem.

  • I have a MacBook pro with snow leopard 10.6

    I have a MacBook pro with snow leopard 10.6, how do I erase everything and start fresh? I forgot my password and it asks me to enter it when i insert the disks and select install?

    Restart with the Option key held down and restart from the disk. If this produces a screen with a padlock, provide the computer's firmware password; if you don't know that, contact Apple or an authorized service provider.

  • How to install new reboot drive with Snow Leopard when new drive is unformatted and the only thing displayed is to choose to run the OS disc? It is impossible to choose disk utility as nothing happens.

    Mac Pro (2006) running Snow Leopard crashed. Geniuses were certain it was bootable HD. Installed new HD and pressed option key with Snow Leopard in optical drive. Chose "Mac OS Installation Disc." Disc runs once for a minute, stops, runs again, then nothing. It is impossible to choose disk utility to format the disc as absolutely nothing but a black screen is visible!

    pull all your drives so you just boot the DVD
    If you have an ATI 5770 you cannot boot with less than 10.6.5
    Ideally you would go through phone system and buy Lion, download and SAVE and create a Lion Installer media (DVD and flash memory are possible).
    If you can't boot the DVD alone, let us know as gives a better idea.
