Best Strategy?: Lion Upgrade, keeping SnowLeopard as well

Intent:
I want to upgrade an older iMac (Intel) to Lion
I  am running SnowLeopard.
I want to keep Snow Leopard for some apps. (Too many very expensive apps that may have issues on Lion).
Question: What's my best strategy to upgrade to Lion while keeping SnowLeopard on one iMac?
I've done this in the past, but am out of touch with best current practice.
I doubt its changed, but it never hurts to ask!
I'd wait for Mountain Lion, but I believe that won't be available until after MobileMe goes away. Don't know how it will run on a 2GHz Core 2 Duo.
I have limited room available on my iMac, in the past I'd run on a tower, but that's not the case today.
This is really about adding iCloud to MobileMe.
The iPad 3 has another acct - I don't want to lose the email addresses, etc which are part of MobileMe
& I don't think I can justify purch of a new machine before the changeover.
Sorry, if that's a bit of a complicated scenario. This could actually fit with MobileMe forum...

Thanks much. Sounds like the same situation as always - partition.
I have 2 partitions now, one as an NTFS partition to run Windows when I must, as a hard boot.
That one, I think requires reformatting the entire drive, but I should be able to slide another one
out of the current Snow Leopard partition as its HFS+, I think.
Or else have to clone it to an external drive before repartitioning... (not my favorite option).
My problem is that space issue.
I'm on an iMac as my main machine these days.

  • Linksys Router WRT54GS keeps timing out after Lion upgrade

    Since we upgraded to Lion we keep loosing wifi and Internet. Have to switch off the router. Then it works again for about a few minutes.
    Please help!
    Router is Linksys WRT54GS
    Lion is: 10.7.1
    Thanks in forward

    I've had the exact same issue. Same router and everything. Worked like a charm with Snow Leapord but since the update it doesn't.
    Unfortunately the WRT54GS is from 2005 and there are not longer Firmware updates available for that model.
    http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/wireless/lbc/WRT54GS
    On Mac's there is problem with wireless access points using a 2.4GHz/5GHz mixed mode if both parts of the wireless network have the same name (SSID) but due to technical rules two different addresses (BSSID) for the different wireless modes.
    On that the Mac switches between the radio bands to provide allways "the best" connection.
    That causes disassociation from the wireless what shows you then the well known effects in your wireless.
    Also a band hopping "Guest Network" may disturb the connection if there is no dedicated name (SSID) is set for the Guest Network.
    On the WRT54GS
    Check that the "Guest Network" is disabled.
    Check that WPA2 Personal AES (not TKIP) is the security mode. See -> http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=22050
    Eventually change network mode from mixed (default) to "wireless-N Only" or "wireless-G Only" if the 2nd BSSID cause trouble with the Mac. -> http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=22555
    On the Mac
    Generally follow the instructions here -> http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=15805
    On System Setup - Airport (WiFi) main page uncheck (disable) "Ask to join new networks"
    Eventually set up a new location for your home network.
    Eventually delete all obsolete wireless networks from the "known networks" list including your WRT54GS
    Delete also the corresponding key's from Kechain Acceess
    Reboot the Mac
    Configure your home wireless on the Mac from scratch.
    Eventually try the Linksys Forum to find more information.

  • Time Machine best practices after Lion to Mountain Lion upgrade

    I've made the upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion and everything seems to be OK.
    I have been using Time Machine for backups since I deployed my first and, so far, only Mac (Mac Mini running Lion) in 2011.  I run my TM backups manually.  Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I have not yet kicked off a TM backup, so my questions involve best practices with TM after an upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion:
    Can I simply use the same drive as I use currently, do what I've always done, start the backup manually, and TM handles gracefully the new backup from the new OS?  
    At this point, since I have only backups to the Lion system, what I see when I doubleclick on the Time Machine drive is a folder called “Backups.backupdb”, then a subfolder called “My Mac mini”, and then all the backup events.   Nothing else.  What will I see once I do a backup now, after the Mountain Lion upgrade?
    If I for some reason needed to boot to my old Lion system (I cloned the startup disk prior to upgrading to ML) and access my old Lion backups with TM, would I be successful?  In other words does the system know that I'm booted to Lion, so give me access to the TM backups created under Lion?   Conversely when booted to the new Mountain Lion system, will I have access only to the backups created since the upgrade to Mountain Lion?
    Any other best practices steps I should take prior to my first ML backup?
    Time Machine is a great straightforward system to use (although I have to say I’ve not (yet) needed to depend on it for recovery...I trust that will go will when needed) but I don't want to make any assumptions as to how it works after a major OS upgrade.
    Thank you for reading.

    1. Correct. If you want to downgrade to OS X Lion, your Mac will still keep backups created with OS X Lion, so just start into Internet Recovery and select one of the backups made with OS X Lion. If you don't want that Time Machine backs up automatically, you may need to use TimeMachineEditor.
    2. After making a backup with Mountain Lion, it will be the same, but with a new folder that belongs to the new backup you have created.
    3. See my first answer.
    4. One advice: when your Time Machine drive gets full, Time Machine deletes old backups, so maybe it can remove all your OS X Lion backups. However, I don't think that you would need to go back to OS X Lion.
    If you have any questions apart from those, see Pondini's website > http://pondini.org

  • After upgrading to mountain lion i keep getting an error message saying my startup disc is full. it shouldnt be full because there is barely anything on there and i was running windows with bootcamp prior to this with no issues

    after upgrading to mountain lion i keep getting an error message saying my startup disc is full. it shouldnt be full because there is barely anything on there and i was running windows with bootcamp prior to this with no issues. my computer now freezes and programs close randomly. The usual command for opening windows with bootcamp doesnt work. once in restarted my computer after it froze and it rebooted in windows automatically. i really just want to know if there is a way to take the upgrade off my laptop because it is very annoying.

    Hi Memalyn
    Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
    My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
    If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
    Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
    Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

  • Since lion upgrade iMac keeps looking for old server

    Hi,
    I have a NAS prior to Lion upgrade which was working perfectly. Now with the Lion upgrade the NAS (Sitecom) ther were some issues. I have reinstalled the NAs and had given it a new name. I can find the NAs now so thats not a problem.
    But almost every hour I get 2 warning that he can not find the "old NAS", it really start annoying me and I've looked everywhere and I don't even find any link (Finder) towards it so I don't know what to do to get rid of this message, receiving it every hour twice really start getting on my nerves.
    Sorry for th Dutch, but the message translates;
    A problem has occured with connecting to the server 'VanBeeckNAS'
    The server doesn't exist or is currently not available. Check the servername or the IP-address of the server, ...
    Any help is highly appreciated.
    Peter

    Same problem since lion. Not only can I not back up to the server it keeps looking for it several times on start up. Real annoying.

  • Upgraded my macbook pro to mountain lion from snow leopard does this mean i can upgrade my imac as well for the same price? And will it mess it up?

    upgraded my macbook pro to mountain lion from snow leopard does this mean i can upgrade my imac as well for the same price? And will it mess it up?

    You can upgrade the iMac for no extra charge - sign into the App Store there, download and install 10.8.
    I recommend that you make a backup (Time Machine is probably the easiest method) before you install, and make sure that you are not using any applications that are incomptible with 10.8 (eg Office 2004) - other than that, it should go smoothly.

  • I have a Mac book pro on vesion 10.6.8 and want to access icloud as it works great on my iphone 4.  Not sure best way to upgrade as some of the review of Lion on the appstore are awful.  Any advice

    I have a Mac book pro on vesion 10.6.8 and want to access icloud as it works great on my iphone 4.  Not sure best way to upgrade as some of the review of Lion on the appstore are awful.  Any advice as I also have MIcrosoft word etc and don't want to have to purchase these again.

    That is the best list ever for Lion compatibility!
    You can also do this:
    Launch the programs you know and love on your Snow Leopard Mac.
    Utilities --> Activity Monitor
    Under the "Kind" tab it will identify the programs running PowerPC, Intel and Intel 64.
    No PowerPC apps will run under Lion.
    Don't worry about Apple's system stuff like Mail, iCal, Safari.
    Don't worry about the system processes, like fontd and launchd, those will be replaced if you go to Lion.
    Just look for the programs that you need.

    Make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements >  Apple - OS X Lion - Technical specifications
    Since you are running v10.5.8, you need to upgrade to Snow Leopard which installs the Mac App Store which you need in order to download and install Lion.

  • The best way to upgrade from SL to Lion

    Hi,
    I’m currently running SL and its actually running verysmooth and I was wondering if I could just upgrade to Lion without actuallywiping my entire local HD, is this a good choice or its always better to do afresh reinstall?
    What would be the best way to upgrade to Lion?
    Any idea when is the release date?
    Thanks

    No details have been released, and anyone who knows is not allowed to say any more.
    Upgrading has never required erasing.  A few people (perhaps out of habit from using Windoze) do it, but many long-time, experienced users, don't.

    I am using an iMac7.1 with 1GB DDR2 SDRAM of speed 667 MHz on board memory. I would like to know what is my best option to upgrade to 4GB on board memory so that I can run Lion OS. Is there a speed limit of the DRAM use? Please recommend or suggest as soon as possible.

    You can install 2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMMs. The maximum amount of RAM is 6 GBs. Visit DataMem or OWC to get the proper RAM at reasonable prices.

  • My friend bought the Lion upgrade for her MacBook.  She would also like to upgrade her desktop Mac which is current running Leopard.  Does she have to buy SnowLeopard for her Mac first?  Both computers use the same apple ID and password.

    My friend bought the Lion upgrade for her MacBook.  She would also like to upgrade her desktop Mac to Lion which is currently running Leopard.  Does she have to first buy a SnowLeopard upgrade for her desktop?  And will the upgrade from SnowLeopard to Lion then be free?  Both computers use the same apple ID.

    She would also like to upgrade her desktop Mac to Lion which is currently running Leopard.
    She needs to purchase Snow Leopard but she can re download Lion on the desktop for free after Snow Leopard is installed.
    And definitely use the same Apple ID to download Lion on the desktop.
    Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    There is a huge discussion of this issue:
    Frequent Panic NVRM[0/1:0:0]: Read...: Apple Support Communities
    It is not caused by third-party software. The true cause is unknown, or at least unknown to me. It's either a hardware fault or a bug in Lion that only affects certain Mac models. Take the machine to an Apple Store for testing.
