Can I install Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard on my imac that now has 10.4.11?

Can't initialize new ipod touch with the old itunes...can't install new itunes w/10.5. Can I go directly do 10.6 snow leopard?

yes, if your mac meets Snow Leopards requirements:
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation

Can I install Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) on my new MacBook Pro?

Hi all, I'm user of Mac since lot of time and I`ve got a question. I have bought a Macbook Pro on September 2011 and it cames with Lion and no installation disc. Can I downgrade this Macbook Pro with Lion preinstalled to Snow Leopard with SL Retail disc?

Not with a retail disc — it doesn't contain a recent enough version of Snow Leopard to boot the machine. You'll need to obtain duplicates from Apple of the discs that would have been shipped with your machine before the release of Lion. Call Customer Relations at the number below and ask to have them sent to you for a small fee.

Install Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard from USB Drive

My MacBook Pro (Late 2006 15.4-inch 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) has a SuperDrive that does not work.
I wish to re-install Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, as this is the latest DVD I possess, to wipe the HDD prior to selling. It has Lion installed but this was done via the Mac App store and I don't want to sell with any links to my account or as an authorised computer.
How do I boot the MacBook Pro from a USB stick, wipe the HDD and install Snow Leopard?

You will still need a Mac and a optical drive, a external one will do. To read the disk to put it on a USB, external opticals are not bootable.

Can I install Mac OS X 10.3(jaguar) on a Tangerine iMac G3 333mhz

I was wondering if the Jaguar Mac OS X 10.3 installation disks that I have for an eMac will work on an iMac G3 flavored edition 333mHz computer. Or is there a separate version for this particular iMac? I have it running 10.1 now, but need Safari for the internet. HELP!!! I am not a complete idiot when it comes to macs, but not sure about this as the installation CDs say it is for an eMac.
Thanks to everyone who answers!!!
iMac G3 333mHz Mac OS X (10.1.x) Clueless, well a little bit of a clue

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
10.3 =Panther, not Jaguar.
10.2 = Jaguar.
I was wondering if the Jaguar Mac OS X 10.3 installation disks that I have for an eMac will work on an iMac G3 flavored edition 333mHz computer.
No. You can't install the gray disks from one Mac on another Mac of a different model or vintage.
The Tangerine iMac has some limitations:
1. Firmware must be upgraded while booted in 9 or 8, or your display will go permanently blank:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
2. If you erased 9 or 8, and you find you need a version of 9 or 8 installed, you will need to install the drivers before installing 9 or 8.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75275
which will probably require wiping your hard drive.
3. Hard drives over 8 GB need to be partitioned.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106235
4. Hard drives over 120 GB need to be partitioned as well:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86178
5. No Firewire means backing up is a pain, and very slow.
Jaguar that will work after the firmware has been updated looks like:
Panther which will work after the firmware has been upgraded looks like:
Considering the difficulty, and your noviceness, I'd say, stay where you are until you can afford a newer Mac.

Can I install Windows 7 without upgrading to Snow Leopard?

I have Windows 7 and I just bought the Snow Leopard upgrade disk. I want to install Windows 7 on its own hardrive (no partition) but without having to upgrade to Snow Leopard first. I am happy with Leopard and feel if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I am wondering if I can just use Leopard to install Windows 7 onto the new drive, then boot into Windows 7 and use the Snow Leopard disk to install Bootcamp 3.0 and all the other drivers.
Does Snow Leopard have to be on the Mac in order to get the right EFI/Bios to run Windows 7 in XP mode, or does Boot Camp take care of that?
Thanks

AppleHFS is 'buggy' and HFS filenames can cause Explorer to hang (green bar) if it runs across any special character is doesn't like.
And yes, there is no requirement to be running SL. BC 3.0 also came out before Windows 7 (trying to jump the gun? pre-mature? wanted to get SL out the door before Windows). Newer SL DVDs usually also have later version of "3.0" Shame that 3.0 has to be installed and then updated instead of just a logical download/install of 3.2 (maybe put in any OS X DVD to verify you have it?).
Apple won't, they want sales of SL and pre-install. Any other source, and people have hosted it, not worth the risk, and violates terms of use posting it online.
Instead of using AppleHFS, which you rename to disable, there is HFS driver from Paragon as well as MacDrive8 (which has its own issue with 7). AppleHFS interferes and prevents using Windows Backup is also a concern.
I'm not sure I totally trust NTFS-3G to write to Windows 7, or allow cross platform read/write.
More and more, the tech specs and hardware or software requirements (requires 10.6 DVD is only for BC drivers), or ATI 5770 'only' works with 2009/2010, but doesn't and didn't say 10.6.5 or later), otherwise works with any Mac Pro (would be hard to prevent).

Installed Mac OS 10.6.2 Snow Leopard and OKI C5300n won't print

I updated my IMac to OS X.6.2 and could no longer print with the OKI c5300n. Here's what work for me after 6 hours of trial.
I did add Rosetta from the Optional Installs off the Snow Leopard Install CD.
I went to OKIDATA and downloaded and installed ftp://ftp2.okidata.com/pub/drivers/MacOSX6/OKIDPSUMX6MC.dmg
(X6 PS Driver Update Package v2.1)
I need to switch from manual to auto IP Address Set in the OKI Menu on my printer.
Hit Enter
Arrow down to "Network Menu"
Hit Enter
Arrow Down to "IP Address Set"
Hit Enter
Error down to "Auto"
Hit Enter and "Auto" should stop blinking
Hit Back till you see "Network Menu"
Hit Enter
Scroll to "IP Address" & Write Down this Address.
Hit cancel.
On your Mac Select the Apple in the upper left of your screen.
choose "System Preferences"
double-click on "Print & Fax"
Right-click to "Reset printing system" this will delete all printers and documents pending.
Click "+" to add printer
To get this right I did have to call the 24 hour support at OKIDATA... but Amen, it is all working now...

I tried the ftp link. The server is closing the connection unless you supply a user name and password. It appears (at least for now) that you will have to start at http://okidata.com/mkt/html/nf/Drivers.html. Choose your model and supply your name and email address. The page says that this information is optional, but I could not get a download when I did not supply the information. I did not give them my information and try it.

How do I install Mac OS 10.2 or 10.3 on my MacBook that already has OS 10.6.8?

I want to use Appleworks 6 on my MacBook for the next 6 months. I have hundreds of Appleworks files, including spreadsheets, data bases, drawings, paintings and word processing files..... I have used Office, Pages, Numbers and Bento. I prefer Appleworks . . . too bad Apple chose not to support this seamless program which is much better than those others.
Can anyone help me install 10.2 or 10.3 and maybe 10.4 == something that will allow me to run Appleworks 6.?

You can't. 10.2 and 10.3 were coded for the PowerPC. Since your MacBook has an Intel processor in it, it is not capable of running either of those operating systems

Just installed Mac OS X 10.6.8 on my i5 iMac and now safari and app store crash my Mac, any suggestions or similar experiences

Just installed a recommended upgrade of Mac OS X 10.6.8 on my iMac i5, now when I launch safari or app store it crashes. I was looking to upgrade to Lion this week but cannot open the app store. facetab, safari and app store all crash so far, every time I open them unfortunatley as I have no time machine back up I don't know what to do!!!

I have the same issue on my macbook - but only with the app store. although, I haven't tried safari since I use FF. Any resolutions out there?? 10.6.8 - cant run the 10.6.6 update combot that seems to fix the issue with other folks.

Installing snow leopard on a imac that won't turn on

When I tried to turn on my imac this morning, the fans turn on, but the screen goes grey with the logo on it then turns straight back off again. I tried clearing the P-Ram to no avail. Then I tried to reinstall the disks but the computer says that the disk can't be installed because the harddrive can be configured. I've now got a snow leopard disk that I am trying to install instead but as the computer won't stay on it won't lwt me and when I try to turn on the computer holding the c key to start the computer from the disk it just stays on the grey screen with no sound from the fan. Has anyone any idea what I can do?

Yes, assuming you have enough disk space, you can install 10.5 Leopard, 10.6 Snow Leopard, and 10.7 Lion. If you want to upgrade to 10.7 Lion, I'd recommend a memory upgrade to at least 4GB.

Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard V Windows OS!

Hi i am sick of windows, but as i only just got this pc through a rental agreement with a local retailer, and i cant change it and get a Mac. I was wondering if Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard is able to be installed on my pc? i have a Toshiba P300 PSPCCA 1tb hdd, 4 gb ram, 512mb ATI Radeon Mobility HD, Intel core 2 duo T9950, with Windows Vista as the current OS. Am i able to format my hdd and install Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard? or not? hope i can cos i really am sick of windows!

Since you can't change your hardware your only option is to get an alternative operating system for it. Mac OS X only runs on Apple hardware, but you could try one of the many Linux distributions out there if you don't want to use Windows. They're free and can be installed side by side with Windoze. Ubuntu would be a good start: http://www.ubuntu.com/

PS: I would not use a Win-PC anymore, even if I get payed for it...

How can i install Mac OS on toshiba intel celeron satellite L450-9P

can i install Mac OS on in Windows 7? for dual-boot purpose

But you can install Windows on a Mac via Bootcamp for dual boot.
For the purposes of Windows®, a Mac is just a generic piece of PC hardware, so installing on to it is permitted by Microsoft's EULA. On the other hand, Apple have explicitly stated in the EULA for OS X "Mountain Lion" that it should only be installed and run on Apple-branded hardware. Section 2, Paragraph B, Sub-section 1:
you are granted a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license […] to download, install, use and run for personal, non-commercial use, one (1) copy of the Apple Software directly on each Apple-branded computer…
(emphasis mine)
Section 2, Paragraph H:
The grants set forth in this License do not permit you to, and you agree not to, install, use or run the Apple Software on any non-Apple-branded computer, or to enable others to do so.
Also, discussion of how to run OS X on non-Apple branded hardware is against these forums' Use Agreement, Section 2 Paragraph 8, including Sub-section 1:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
This thread'll be reported by someone if any salient advice is offered that enables the OP in his endeavour.
