Brand new 10.6.3 snow leopard disc installation always fails on MacBook pro

So I ask, is the only thing left to do here to buy a new hard drive? I figured I would ask as I feel I have tried everything.
I have a 17 inch 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo MacBook pro with 4 gb ram and a 500 gb hitachi 7200 rpm hard drive that was installed in march of 2010. I was running osx snow leopard 10.6.3 with all updates with two partitions, a 450 gb for mac and 50 gb for bootcamp and windows 7. About 3 weeks ago, after downloading some programs from cnet, I started having problems.
I could not boot to the Mac side, but booting to windows was fine. I would get hung on a blue screen with my cursor, but it never would go further. So I used
my snow leopard 10.6.3 disc to run disk utility, repaired disk and it completed the repair and partitions, always leaving a note saying, " updating boot (something) as needed. Everything repaired and was corrected, but I still could not boot to Mac. Still hung on blue screen. I reset the PRAM, still nothing, but still no reoccurring errors in disc repair.
So I purchased an external hd and backed up everything, since I never used time machine ( I know) and backed up all my data. I erased and zero'd out everything on the Mac partition. I then tried to reinstall 10.6.3 on the hard drive, and it seemed to fail repeatedly. I would install, fail, reformat, repeat repeat over and over. I was having trouble with the DVD drive taking the disc a few times, and noticed some very minor scratches on the disc, nothing major. So, I decide it could be the disc, and went out to purchase one at best buy. Came back, ready to go, took the disc the first time, and fails again and again. ( installation failed, please contact the software manufacturer )
One thing I noticed in disc utility is that it would always seem to hang up installation around 6.65 gb. So I called my free 90 day software support from apple, and they of course suggested I take it to a Mac genius... Haven't been there yet because of the proximity to my house. I then decided to backup the bootcamp side , which was working just fine, and erased that as well, I repartitioned the drive, erased the disc and tried again and again and installation kept failing.
Other things I have done, took out 2gb ram and tried, nothing. Also changed a number in terminal that was 12000' to 30000' a tip from another forum, that also failed. I am at wits end here, and can't find anyone else with this problem. Any other suggestions before i scrap the hd?
Thanks in advance for your advice,

DVD drive ? The software disc itself is brand new and boots fine

Is Snow Leopard recommended for a Late 2008 MacBook Pro?

Will Snow Leopard work on my Late 2008 MacBook Pro?
Any cautions or advice?
Have any of the Top Users upgraded to Snow Leopard yet? If not, why?
Thank ya!

You might check to see if all your apps and system add-ons you commonly use are compatible first. If that's your only computer, you might wait a bit yet.

I just put snow leopard 10.6.8 on my macbook pro and I was told that I could purchase Apature for photo management- now its says I need a different version.... is there an older version I could get? so frustrating.

The current version of Aperture requires 10.7.5 or later.
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. 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.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         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.

I would like to install snow leopard instead of lion on latest macbook pro MD318 (oct.2011) Does anyone know if this is possible? If so, will I have to use install-disks of previous model (eg. MC721) or will retail-disks serve?

Experiencing serious problems with lion, I would like to install snow leopard instead of lion on latest macbook pro MD318 (oct.2011) Does anyone know if this is possible? If so, please tell me how. Will I have to use install-disks of previous model (eg. MC721) ? Or will retail-disks serve?
Thanks steph

Snow Leopard is currently running on this MBP 15", late 2011 model, due to my need to run an old version of FileMaker.
A retail disk with 10.6.3 did not work, I restored my previous Snow Leopard install with Disk Utility.
However, it is not the shipped software and is not officially supported on this Mac. Therefore, your advice to troubleshoot Lion is the best option.

Brand new 27" iMac with Snow Leopard has constant hard disk activity

I just purchased a new 27" iMac which was an upgrade for my 24" with Leopard. I have used my older machine for a good year and not noticed any hard drive activity when idle.
Now on the new machine with Snow Leopard I constantly get hard disk activty every few seconds.
This will happen from:
1) Restart
2) leaving at login screen
3) loggin in and not running anything.
4) Computer screen in sleep mode.
5) well, all the time really.
I have looked at the activity monitor and can see spikes every 5-10 seconds.
I have turned off all processes possible, watched processes for CPU spikes, etc to no avail.
Is anyone else having the same problem and if so can they suggest a fix? I originally thought it may be something writing to a log every so often but I have no idea what and how to find it.
Using iStat just confirms the activity.
Hope you can help as this is driving me mad!

I havent really installed much as well. Here are the list of programs I have installed.
Adium
Firefox

chicken of the VNC
GoToMeeting
Cisco VPN Client
Xmarks for safari and firefox
I would start by checking each of these items, making sure you have the latest versions of each & that they are compatible with Snow Leopard. Do the same for any Firefox extensions or any plugins associated with any of these applications. In particular, chicken of the VNC hasn't been updated since 2006 & what little compatibility info I can find for it suggests it supports only Tiger (10.4) & 10.3.9. The Download Xmarks page indicates that it is beta software.
Also note that some of these items may do more than just run as applications. On first run or install, some might install startup or login items, or preference panels that remain in effect even when the application is not running. Check /Library/StartupItems & /System/Library/StartupItems -- both are empty by default, so anything you find in them is suspect. Likewise, check the System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items tab. Anything you find in them that does not appear to come from Apple (like iTunes helper) is suspect. Also check the "Other" category of System Preferences.

I have just bought a brand new iMac 27" with Snow Leopard but the MS office 2011 is running too slowly to even use...help!

I have litterally just bought my iMac with 2.7GHz Intel Core i5 and 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3 so why is Word barely functioning?! I have more than enough free memory but Word is operating so slowly it takes a full minute for the cursor to stop spinning after selecting a section of the page to start typing in....it is utterly unusable in this state and I am very angry that this should even be an issue with a brand new iMac!
I would really appreciate any help or advice you have to offer.

Will not use up a license.
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
AppZapper
Automaton
Hazel
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

Is there any way to make a snow leopard partition on an early 2011 MacBook Pro that was upgraded to Lion, without the original boot disk?

So I have an early 2011 MacBook pro, I believe it shipped with snow leopard originally, as I purchased and upgraded to Lion fairly early on. I am trying to make a partition right now and have it run snow leopard so I can use programs that have PowerPC.
I should note, I replaced both the RAM and the harddrive in my Macbook pro. I changed from 4 GB of ram (that came shipped) to 8 GB of ram from a 3rd party, that I installed on my own months ago, have registered in the computer and have been working fine for quite some time now.
Also I should note I replaced my harddrive. I went from what ever the standard 500 GB harddrive that shipped with 15 inch early 2011 MB pro's. I now have a 3rd party SSD that's 240GB's that I also installed on my own, (at the same time as the RAM---Black friday items) The harddrive has been working just fine since then.
In installing the harddrive I borrowed a friends external harddrive and used a program called carbon copy cloner to get everything over to the SSD.
Now here is my issue. I have ordered the Snow Leopard (10.6.3) install disks from apple, I have created a partition on my SSD for snow leopard, but when I try to select the install disc for snow leopard at boot I get three beeps.
I know this issue has been posted elsewere but it said answered and the answer is no longer available. I also am unsure if any of the RAM or Harddrive swapping could have been causing the issue. I have the old harddrive and RAM still, but unfortunatley have no external harddrive anymore or money to afford one.
Is there any way I can install a partition that runs snow leopard on my early 2011 MB pro with what I have (new SSD, New RAM, Current version Lion running, no external drive, lack of original snow leopard disks [I lost them ] and the general 10.6.3 snow leopard boot disks).
Let me know If there is anything I can do. I'm a now broke college student so i'd like to spend as little $$$$ as possible
*PS I should also note the DVD drive is working fine, it reads the disk, the disk is brand new, it plays DVD's fine and has never had any issues in the years i've used it for similar tasks*
sorry for the long drawn out post, I just wanted to include as much as possible from what I've seen other people have issues with

As the last post suggests, call Apple and order a replacement original disc for about $17. They will ask you the model and serial numbers.
Your retail version of Snow Leopard OS 10.6.3 will not work on that Mac as it requires a minimum of OS X 10.6.7 to boot and operate.
Another alternative is to again borrow another Mac to install your retail Snow Leopard into an external HD or partition, upgrade it to 10.6.8 and then clone it back to a partition on your MBP.

Install Snow Leopard from CD that came with MacBook Pro to different Mac

I need to re-install Snow Leopard on an older MacBook of mine I want to clean out for my wife.
The problem is the Snow Leopard CD (family pack) I purchased months ago is scratched, damaged I believe by an iMac at my business. I want to see if it is possible to install 10.6 from the CD's I recently got with my new MacBook pro. I tried to use them in the MacBook (Intel) I'm trying to hand off to my wife but after I selected the language option I got an error message stating I couldn't install that disc on the computer. It already runs 10.6 so I know it's not an OS issue. Is my MacBook detecting that the installation CD is not the same one that came with it?
Sorry for the wordy post and thanks in advance for any help.

From what i can tell, the media contains only the necessary files to install to that model-specific hardware.
This is both for licensing & technical reasons. Licensing because that disc is licensed for use only with that specific Mac (not model, literally just that Mac) & technical because pre- & post-install scripts & other installer features on grey system discs are designed just for that model.
Curious. I know i've used system restore discs from one machine on another due to the fact that we used to - for reasons unknown to me - allow users to keep their restore discs, at which point they subsequently lost them.
Perhaps it's just older models that allowed it?
No matter. Thanks for the clarification.

Is Snow Leopard part of the the gray MacBook Pro disks? I am having trouble burning a cd and was told to reload Snow Leopard? I do not have a Snow Leopard disk? Help!

Is Snow Leopard part of the gray MacBook Pro disks that were included with the computer when I purchased it. I DO NOT have a disk with SNOW LEOPARD written on it?

Maybe you should first tell us what your problem is. You may not need to reinstall Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard is what your installer disc has - 10.6. Reinstalling may also require installing a number of updates as well. Here's the basic reinstall process:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
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. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

When did Snow Leopard start shipping with the 15" Macbook Pros?

I got a 15" Macbook Pro at Christmas (purchased just a few weeks before, straight from apple.com, not refurbished or anything), only to realize it didn't have Snow Leopard on it, just Leopard. I have version 10.5.8 right now, and I think that's what it came with, I don't believe I had updated it. I was reading this topic: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11294485&#11294485 and was just kind of curious about it all. Should I have gotten Snow Leopard with my laptop?
I don't know how to find my model number. If anyone can tell me I would gladly update my information.

Glad you still have the box, ellory!
We've seen some users here who have simply thrown the discs out with the packaging!
The discs themselves can be worth their weight in gold (especially the grey ones that normally ship with the computer). Many people don't realise that they will need them if they ever want to restore not just the OS, but the additional software that came with their computer, and to run the Apple Hardware Test for their specific model.
Many more knowledgeable buyers of second hand Macs , in fact, won't buy one that is sold without these discs unless the seller is prepared to knock a couple of hundred dollars off the price for the inconvenience and cost of having to obtain replacements.
When you find them, stick them in a very safe place!
If it came with a snow leopard "drop in" then it will be in a separate illustrated Snow Leopard cardboard sleeve. The grey discs will probably be in a black cardboard folder. It is quite possible that these will actually have snow leopard on them, even if Leopard was pre-installed and you don't have a separate "slip in", given the date of purchase.
Cheers

How do I do a clean install of Snow Leopard on a mid 2010 13" MacBook Pro

Hello All,
I am replacing a dead hard drive without any backups (I'm fixing someone else's computer), so I want to do a clean install. When I boot the retail Snow Leopard DVD, I get a kernel panic. Is this the wrong DVD? I don't have the original DVD that came with the Macbook Pro, so I don't know what version it's supposed to be.
Specs: mid 2010 Macbook Pro 13" with nVidia 320, Intel Core 2 Duo, and 4GB RAM.
The kernel panic had me thinking maybe I had bad RAM, but I've already swapped out the RAM with same results.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Thanks, Niel.
Apple Support sent me a Snow Leopard DVD 10.6.4 - not retail, but the original one that came with the MacBook Pro. However, I did not get a chance to use it, but I'm sure it'll work.
What I did instead was to make a USB thumb drive of Mavericks 10.9.2. It installed without any problems on the 2010 MacBook Pro. No kernel panics, etc. Thanks for your help.

If I upgrade from snow leopard to mountain lion on my macbook pro will my photos in iPhoto 09 be ok?

What happens to my photos in iphoto 09 when I upgrade from snow leopard to mountain lion?

Nothing.
That said, you should ALWAYS have a backup as anything can happen at anytime.

Upgrade to snow leopard, no audio is muted on macbook pro!

Upgraded to snow leopard at work on my macbok pro (non unibody), did the 10.6.2 update. When i took my laptop home, realized that my audio is muted. After some googling, followed others posts and deleted 2 pref files within "Prefs > audio", rebooted, and same ol'.
When i returned to work today, audio worked fine. Now, i'm home again, and audio is muted! Power source plugged in, in both cases, but run wireless at home. (wasn't connected yet when i has problem 2nd time).
Any ideas?!

Multiple kernel panic errors after upgrading to snow leopard 10.6.8 on my MacBook Pro.

After upgrading to 10.6.8, I almost immediately began experiencing multiple random kernel panic errors. I reinstalled the operating system that came with my notebook from the cd (10.6?) and the problem went away. I upgraded again to 10.6.8 and again began experiencing the same error. I have since gone back and installed the operating syatem from the cd and then upgraded to 10.6.7. I have not had a single kernel panic error since, but I would like to upgrade to 10.6.8 so that I can install Lion when it is avaialable. Any thoughts as to how I can do this without experiencing all of the accompanying kernel panic errors?

Thank you. The log is below:

After installing a new hard drive can I install snow leopard directly from snow leopard disc

After installing a new hard drive can I install snow leopard directly from snow leopard disc. Or do I have to install previous versions first. iMac 7.1 (2007) 2.8ghz

You can install directly, assuming the disk is newer than your computer and not designed for a different Mac, but doing so won't install iLife.
