Can one buy a new top of the line MacPro with Snow Leopard on it directly from Apple store?

I'm considering a new Mac Pro desktop with two identical video graphics card, a bazillion GB of RAM, etc., but want no part of Lion and/or Mountain Lion. I'm wondering if Apple still sell them.
Has anyone bought one such beast from the Apple store recently?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the lightning fast response, mende1.
From the lack of Snow Leopard options at the Apple store, I was already getting the impression that it was not feasible anymore. It's good to know for certain.
That leaves me with the choice of a used/refurbished Mac or a Windoze box with Windows 7 on it, which can still be obtained from HP, and maybe Dell and others.
Just as I want no part of the stinky lions, I want no part of Windows 8 either.
From my point of view, the engineers at Apple and Microsoft lost their minds with their latest operating systems. It's mind boggling!

Is there a way to sync Firefox on my new top of the line imac with my older imac that can only use Firefox 2.0?

My old imac has System 10.3.9, and I am not able to add sync to my Firefox 2.0 browser. My new imac has Snow Leopard. Is there any way to move my Firefox bookmarks, passwords, etc., from my old computer to my new computer?

Firefox 2 versions used bookmarks.html format to store bookmarks, you can '''import''' that type of bookmarks file format into all later versions of Firefox. <br />
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... - from file
The correct version of the Password Exporter extension can be installed in the old Firefox 2 version, to export you password data. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/password-exporter/versions/#version-1.2
Then install the correct version of that extension in the newer version, so you can restore your passwords into the newer version. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/password-exporter/

Can I reboot my new iMac running OS 10.7 into Snow Leopard 10.6.8 from an external hard drive

I have installed my hard drive from a previous but terminally I'll iMac that was running Snow Leopard into a Sata to USB enclosure. This is displaying on the desktop of my new iMac running Lion as an external Hard drive,also system preferences sees it as a start up source.My question is , is it safe to restart into Snow leopard without causing a kernel panic and if it does boot will it be fast enough to use as it as a USB drive.I know I could try it and see, but I would rather some advice.
Regards
John Lewis

Yes you should be able to (as long as your computer didn't ship with lion, if so idk it would prob work though) although be aware it will be MUCH slower than the normal OS. Hope this helps!

Can I buy a Mac Pro in the U.S., with a German keyboard?

can I buy a Mac Pro in the U.S., with a German keyboard?

The Mac Pro Tower is NOT a laptop computer. It weighs 65 lbs, and holds four full-size Hard Drives. It uses a detachable keyboard.
US English
Western Spanish
French
Japanese
... are readily available at the Apple Online Store, in wired and wireless.
For German, you would have to call them and make special arrangements, or pick one up an additional keyboard when you get back home.
This thing won't fit in your suitcase. Are you sure you want to pay to ship it home again? I would be tempted to sell it when you are leaving, and buy a new one at Home.
A laptop would be a better choice. These are also available with the same four choices of languages (in all models) through the online store.
You can make all the German characters and accents with the USEnglish keyboard, but some are two keystrokes.

I recently migrated my MacBook from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8, using the Snow Leopard CD I purchased from Apple. Since then I have noticed a strange ozone smell coming from the MacBook in the area where the hinges are to open and close the unit. I was told by Apple that it probably is not serious and is coming from the fans in the MacBook. It is true that the smell/odor is more intense when the fans are working. Apple said I should take the MacBook to an Apple Store to have the hardware checked out. Everything seems to be working correctly. I am backing up automatically wirelessly to a Time Capsule, which I had not done until recently, although I had purchased the Time Capsule in 2009. I have not noticed this odor before. Does anyone suspect something more serious that may be going on?

You may be smelling it because with the new OS the processor is having to work harder causing it to get hotter then it would with the other OS. I can't say there is nothing wrong, but what could be happening is just that, it's getting hotter so the fan is spinning faster and moving more air so you are getting more of the smell then you would before. I would still continue to back it up, and take it to the Apple Store at a Genius Bar and have them look at it to make sure. Was the computer ever in a smoky environment??

Big Fish Games stop working in Mavericks. What do I do? I have re-installed them and the manager app, and nothing. I have not gotten an answer from Big Fish tech staff. Thought the problem might be with Maverick. all the games worked with Snow Leopard

Any body have this kind of problem. What was done to correct it. . .

I can't wait to get a new phone as well. LG Revolution owners should be comped for this phone if Verizon intends to keep them as customers.

Want to buy a new Mini, but should I wait for Snow Leopard?

I'm ready to buy a Mac Mini now. But with Snow Leopard just around the corner, I would hate to have to dish out another $129 for Snow Leopard when I could have just waited a few months for it to ship with the Mini.
Is it worth it to wait, or should I just dive into a new Mini with just Leopard?
Any thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the great input everyone!
Most of you say 'go for it now', and that's the way I'm leaning, but I'll drill down a little deeper with where I'm at on this.
I've been wanting to get a Mini since they first came out, but more intently since last fall. I heard that they were due for a refresh, and rumors had been floating that there would be new models in Q1 of 2009. I had hoped to see them at Macworld, but we all know what a disappointment that was. So after much anticipation, they're finally here. All that to say, I have a very strong desire to order one right now.
But then there is this question of Snow Leopard. My main reason (although there are many) for getting a Mini is to record my broadcast TV shows in HD with eyeTV. I've been using my Dual 867Mhz Power Mac G4 (MDD) to record shows in analog mode with eyeTV, and it does it very successfully. But my G4 doesn't meet the requirements to record in HD (although I've tried it and it will record HD, but it's not always successful and it takes at least 12 to export it to iTunes). Also, broadcast TV is going to can analog on June 12. So I wont be able to record my shows after that unless I have the Mini.
So, here is where I'm at with this dilemma:
AndyO hit the head on the nail with this

There is a good argument to say that if you have no immediate need for a new system, you should wait until Snow leopard is announced, but not yet pre-installed on systems in the supply chain and buy a system then. That would give you an installed copy of Leopard and either a Snow Leopard upgrade disk in the box, or an 'up-to-date' program option to buy a Snow Leopard copy for a small fee. That would give you the best of both worlds.
This is exactly what I'd like - "the best of both worlds." Getting SL with the Mini but not having it pre-installed would be ideal.
But will the announcement come at the WWDC?
Will the WWDC be held at the speculated date of June 6-12 (which is right before the DTV switch btw)? And even if I wait for the announcement, this is not the guaranteed outcome (they could end up saying that all systems will be shipping with SL today).
Ugh! I'm so torn.
Does anyone know how far ahead they announce the date of the WWDC?

I need to upgrade but don't know which version I have to get. Do I have to go through each lower version or can I go straight to 10.8 then get free MAverick upgrade? I live FAR from Apple store, so download upgrade is preferred. :)

Need a newer version of Os to run printer and software. Confused if I need to get which version to be able to upgrade to MAverick for free. Also, need something I can download since Apple store is far away.

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
(NB: PowerPC applications can still be run in Snow Leopard using Rosetta, but they will not work in later versions of OS X. For detailed information see this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6271 )
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is still available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Before installation you should back up all your data.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes (you will need the latest version in order to synch with mobile devices).
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
iCloud system requirements:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4759
If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
or Mountain Lion:

What are the steps I need to take to upgrade my Macbook with Tiger to Lion and the cloud? I have the install disk for Snow Leopard.

Hi Carol, good/sound advice by Ziatron so far.
We need more info about your Mac to see if it will even be capable,
So we know more about it...
At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware> and report this upto but not including the Serial#...
Hardware Overview:
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac7,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 6 GB
Bus Speed: 800 MHz
Boot ROM Version: IM71.007A.B03
SMC Version (system): 1.21f4
You'll need to buy SL/10.6 first & get it to 10.6.8, then get Lion... if you can run it.
Or if you can erase your disk...

Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
It looks like they do still have it:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
Lion/101.7 System requirements
    •    x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
    •    At least 2GB of memory, (I say 4GB)
    •    Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
    •    At least 4GB of disk space for downloading, (I say 40GB at least)
Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.
It looks like Apple will have Lion available on USB drives for $69...

Preview 4.2 has stopped functioning. How does one install a version of Preview that will operate with Snow Leopard?

My version of Preview 4.2 had stopped functioning. How do I install a later version compatible with Snow Leopard?

Since Preview is part of the system, you can reinstall your OS using your install disks. It will automatically install the correct version. I have not been running Snow Leopard, so I cannot check on the correct version of Preview; however, how did it "stop functioning"? Exactly what happened?

New macbook pro should it come with snow leopard

i bought a macbook pro 2 days ago from a well known store called comet when i got it home though i noticed it never came with snow leopard should i get this free with the macbook or do i have to pay £7.50 and if so is it worth it

Hi
I bought my MacBook Pro on the release date for Snow leopard at an Apple Store (Brighton, UK). This came with a Snow Leopard drop in Disc.
It looks like the one you picked up from Comet was old stock (not that old of course just shipped by Apple before the Snow Leopard release date), and it may well be that you will have to claim under the up to date programme.
I doubt very much that Apple will have supplied update discs for Comet to include at point of sale for Macs shipped prior to the release date of Snow Leopard. As far as I am aware Comet do not stock Snow Leopard as a separate product, so they are unlikely to be able to let you have a copy.
It is probably worth giving Apple customer services a call and see what they say, or go to an Apple store and ask, if you are close enough to one to make it viable. Take your receipt from Comet and explain nicely, you may get lucky and they will give you a copy.
If you do have to pay via the up to date scheme then I would say yes it is worth it. You won't see much difference, but you will be bang up to date for under £10.
Good luck
Paul

My phone is going to be cut of by orange cos I can't afford the bill but I got my current phone direct from apple shop can I use another SIM card from another network in

my iPhone is going to be cut of by orange as I can't afford the bill, my current phone is direct from an apple shop as I had to have it replaced , can I put another sim in from another network and use my phone on a pay as you go from O2

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

Can one buy a new top of the line MacPro with Snow Leopard on it directly from Apple store?
