Cannot upgrade to snow leopard

I have a late 2007 iMac (2GHz core 2 Duo). Since I purchased it, it has run Tiger, then Leopard flawlessly. I recently bought a Magic Trackpad which required me to upgrade to Snow Leopard. Unfortunately, 10.6 seems to kernel panic almost as soon as it boots up. If I downgrade back to 10.5, all works fine again. I have tried the following:
1. Clean install of 10.6 = kernel panic once the OS boots
2. Clean install using another 10.6 installation disk = kernel panic once the OS boots
3. Swap out RAM = kernel panic once the OS boots
4. Boot from an external 10.6 disk = kernel panic once the OS boots
More often than not, I can boot into safe mode with Airport disabled although sometimes (seemingly random) that also kernel panics. I am completely stumped here and would appreciate any help please. I don't want to be stuck in Leopard for all eternity! BTW I did take it into the Apple Store, and the "geniuses" claimed it was fixed - took it home and it wasn't. Below is the output from the kernel panic log:

Are you trying to boot off a 10.6.5 updated system, or a 10.6.5 installer DVD from another Mac? According to;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS_X10.6
The build and Darwin version belong exclusively to 10.6.5.
Your Mac can only boot off 10.6 and 10.6.3 retail to install 10.6, as well as systems upgraded from those 10.6 installations on your specific model and vintage iMac. But it can't boot off another Mac's installer. The 10.6 installer DVD must look like *
and not say Upgrade, Dropin, or OEM.

  • Cannot upgrade from Snow Leopard to Yosemite

    I have a MacBook from late 2009 with 4 GB memory and plenty of hard disk space.  When I attempt to upgrade to Yosemite via the App store it says "This version of  OS X 10.10 cannot be installed on this computer".  Even though the computer was purchased new at the end of 2009, is it possible it does not meet the hardware specs somehow?  Am I doing something wrong?  Thanks in advance.

    I'm having a similar (related?) problem with a 2009 MacBook. The upgrade from Snow Leopard to Yosemite started off normally, but the installation is not working - progress bar gets about halfway and then stops...for days.
    A guy at the Genius Bar told me that happens sometimes if there's a blip in the internet connection during the process. Apparently, the resolution is to wipe the drive and reinstall. Unfortunately, I didn't back up the drive prior to the installation thinking this was just one of those upgrades that the OS or various apps (e.g. iTunes, iPhoto, etc.) always want me to install, which I do, never having had a problem.
    Although, the Genius  tested the drive and found it to be in perfect condition, I was told that I need to go to an external company to have the data recovered because Apple doesn't do data recovery.
    Is it true that I have to wipe the disc and start fresh? I have the original Snow Leopard disc, so can I simply reinstall Snow Leopard? When I hold down the option key on power up, it shows me two images - Macintosh HD and Recovery- 10.10. Should I try Recovery- 10.10?
    I would appreciate any thoughts, suggestions, ideas, alternatives, etc.

  • I have a big problem with Lion and PGP. After upgrading from snow leopard to lion I cannot access my PGP drive which was generated under snow leopard. PGP does not start but gives a notion that lion cannot work with my PGP version. Solution?

    After upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion I cannot access a PGP drive which was generated under snow leopard. PGP does not start. When I try to start I just receive a message that Lion cannot work with PGP. How can I now access important and confifential informatio which I have stored in PGP (snow leopard). Do I have to move back to snow leopard. If so, how can I do this? 

    If you have this product,

    you have to go back to Snow Leopard.
    To re-install SL, back up your home directory, format and re-install.

    Because there is a flaw in the App Store that gives you an alert you can never ever get rid of telling you to download Mavericks, even though when you click it then tells you your machine is too (I have to say 'darn' here because Apple automatically astersiks out the first word I used that also begins with d and is four letters) old.  So you have to live with that little  "1 update available" alert, though in reality, you cannot install it. You can imagine that either it is a sinister plot to wear away at you to buy some new hardware, even though yours is working just fine, or that it is a programming error Apple just doesn't care enough about to correct.

  • Upgraded to snow leopard and now cannot print

    I purchased an iPhone 4S which forced me to upgrade to snow leopard. I have two Epson printers and an Epson scanner.  Now I cannot print.
    I downloaded Epson updates for the new system from the Apple website hoping that would solve the problem.  It did not.
    Current print issues:
    The print dialogue boxes look like inDesign options, not photoshop or "regular" print options.
    I cannot print :  Error:/System/Library/Printers/Printjobmgr/Contents/MacOS
    Any suggestions on what to do next?  This is very frustrating. 
    Thanks in advance.

    Open the System Preferences program and select the Print tab. Delete the printers and then try installing the printers again.
    I don't know what you mean by:
    The print dialogue boxes look like inDesign options, not photoshop or "regular" print options.
    If this persists you might want to take screenshots and include them.

  • TS1545 I have downloaded 10.5.8 combo several times and cannot get it to install because the disc won't mount or the installation gets hung up after restart. My current os is 10.5.1, and I am trying to upgrade to snow leopard. This is on a dual core macbo

    I have downloaded 10.5.8 combo several times and cannot get it to install because the disc won't mount or the installation gets hung up after restart. My current os is 10.5.1, and I am trying to upgrade to snow leopard. This is on a dual core macbook pro.

    You don't need to update to Leopard 10.5.8 unless you want to keep Leopard. Upgrading to Snow Leopard requires that your purchase the retail install disk.
    The following covers Leopard:
    Some general advice on updating:
    It is worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
    So before you do anything else:
    If you can, make a full backup first to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
    Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
    Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
    2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
    At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
    3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site.
    The Combo updater of Leopard 10.5.8 can be found here:
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
    If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
    Full details about the 10.5.8 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3606
    More information on using Software Updater here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
    Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.5.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
    Now proceed as follows:
    4. Close all applications and turn off energy saving and screensaver.
    5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
    7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
    8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
    If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious! In fact a second restart can be recommended.
    9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a week or two while you regularly check their websites for updates.
    N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
    Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
    [b]If you are updating Safari (or just have):[/b]
    Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up.  If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very [i]first[/i] thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
    So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari.
    Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party add-on.
    Additional tips on software installation here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
    To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for  problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
    Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
    /Library/InputManagers
    ~/Library/InputManagers
    especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

  • Cannot build after upgrading to Snow Leopard

    Thanks.
    Amy
    Build cancelled

    "hmmm, did you relink the template from a new location, or did you put it in the same location and then relink it" What do you mean by relinking? I did put it into the same directory. When I bring DVD SP up without loading this project, I have the menus and can double click on the menus to to bring it up in the viewer. At this point, I think I should try to do a new project to see if this error repeats itself. As long as I can build and burn on my Mac Book Pro, I am OK. Is it possible that the file itself became corrupted somehow? Just a thought. Thank you for your help.

  • Cannot Scan after Snow Leopard Upgrade

    After I upgraded to Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro & Mac Pro, I have not been able to scan from my HP Photosmart 8180 All-In-One printer. The printer works fine and I can connect to the HP for a scan; but, when I try to scan I get the same error during the scan on both computers. I have reloaded the original HP software drivers and made sure they were current prior to the above, so I need some direction on how to proceed.

    Here - this might fix it:
    * Cause *
    This issue might have occurred if you are trying to scan using the previous version HP Software and Drivers or due to the device driver/ software conflicts.
    This issue may also occur if the previous version HP Software and Drivers are conflicting with the Generic built-in Drivers that are available in Mac OS X 10.6 or due to the communication error between the Printer and the Mac Computer.
    * Information *
    The latest HP printer drivers, scan software, and utility for most of HP All-in-One Printers are included in Mac OS X 10.6 by default. So, no need to reinstall or download any HP software for full print, scan and utility functionality.
    Scanning: The Scanning interface is now built into Snow Leopard and supported with the Apple Image Capture application. Instructions follow.
    NOTE: HP Scan Pro software (from Mac OS X 10.4, 10.5) is not supported in Snow Leopard. The HP icon for HP Device Manager still in the dock after upgrade is not functional and should be removed.
    NOTE: Scan support from pushing the Scan button on the printer is not supported with this version of the scan interface built into Snow Leopard. Scan functionality is supported by scanning directly from the computer.

    * Scanning using the inbuilt Scan Interface
    There are three ways to perform scanning using the generic built-in Software and Drivers from your HP All-in-One Printer:
    Ø Preview program
    Ø Image Capture program
    Ø System Preferences > Print & Fax
    Important: After you open the scan interface, it is important to select the correct mode (Flatbed or Document Feeder) for the source of the scan image. Your HP All-in-One may have an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) or a flatbed lid. By default, Document Feeder will be the automatically selected Mode for any devices that have an ADF. You must select Flatbed if you want to scan directly from the glass flatbed and not the Document Feeder.
    For more information about Scanning and Image Capture, open the Help menu from Mac OS X 10.6 and type in your question.
    Method one: Scan from the Preview application
    1. Click the Apple Preview icon in the dock to open the Preview application.
    2. From the Preview File pull-down menu, choose Import from Scanner.
    3. Choose the HP Photosmart, Officejet, or Deskjet All-in-One.
    The scan interface opens. Click Show Details to view settings and options.
    Method two: Scan from the Image Capture application
    1. In the Applications folder, select and open Image Capture.
    2. In the list of devices on the left, click your HP All-in-One.
    Networked devices appear in the Shared list.
    The scan interface opens. Click Show Details to view settings and options.
    Method three: Scan from Print & Fax > Printer browser
    1. From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
    2. Click Print & Fax.
    3. In the list of printers on the left side of the dialog, select the HP All-in-One to view the options in the Print & Fax window.
    4. Click the Scan tab, and then click Open Scanner.
    The Printer Browser window appears.
    5. Click the Scan icon at top right of the toolbar to launch scanning.
    The scan interface opens. Click Show Details to view settings and options.
    Important Gotcha: If the Scan or Print icons do not appear in the Printer Browser window toolbar, you need to delete the current HP printer queue and add a new one, as follows:
    1. Close the Printer Browser window to return to the Print & Fax preference pane. Or, go directly to the System Preferences > Print & Fax pane.
    2. Select your HP printer in the list on the left.
    3. Click the - sign at the bottom of the list to delete the product from the list.
    4. Click the + sign at the bottom of the list to add the product back to the list.
    5. Select your HP printer, and then click Add to create a new print queue.
    The next time you open the Printer Browser window, the Print and Scan icons should appear in the toolbar, providing access to Image Capture.

  • Cannot install Mavericks, upgraded to Snow Leopard, system identifier 4,1

    Hello all,
    I am having issues upgrading to Mavericks.
    I am using a MacBook (purchased in 2008) , system identifier 4,2.
    I have successfully upgraded to snow leopard and now running Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    When i tried to download Mavericks a message came up saying that Mavericks could not be installed on this computer..although I was advised by apple that i could.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks
    Lida

    That is not what the Apple pages say about your Mac and Mavericks.
    Personally I would trust that much more then some guy you spoke with.

  • I'm running snow leopard. The try to open any .mov file in Quicktime, and I get an error message that says, "The document xyz.mov could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that Quicktime player understands. I'm a recent upgrade to Snow Leopard.

    Help!
    Thanks, Mark

    Unfortunately, the error message gives no details about what codec might be missing or what it needs.
    If the file can't be opened in QT, it only means you cannot use the QT "Inspector" window to check what compression formats were used to create the file. It does not mean you can't use the Finder "Information" window to check on the compression formats or use a third party media information window (e.g., like VLC which will open many compression formats not supported natively by QT) to determine what kind of data is included in the MOV wrapper. If the file cannot be opened in any app, it is usually a good sign that the file itself is corrupted.
    It's a stupid error message. Apple should do better than that.
    Error trapping is quite extensive but there are still many areas which require human oversight. The message is telling you that either the container has a problem (e.g., not properly terminated, non-standard, or corrupted) or that one or more of the compression formats used is not supported by your current codec component configuration or that the data was encoded using non-standard settings or preferences not supported by QT or that the fourCC code does not match the data contained in the file or that there are timecode inconsistencies, etc., etc., etc. In short there are a near infinite number of possible problems for which it would be very difficult/nearly impossible to program error trapping depending on your sourcing of content and how you process it before it reaches the player app. Think of it like trying to play a BD disc in an DVD player.
    I'll call Apple support when I get a chance.
    Chances are good that they will end up sending you back here. In any case, it is often a good idea to post a sample file for examination by other QT users. At the very least, they should be able to tell you if the sample file will play on other systems which would indicate whether or not the file itself is bad and under the best of circumstances whould allow them to examing the file in detail for various common problems.

  • System freezes when attempting to upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion

    I hope someone can help me out there.  I have downloaded the Lion upgrade install program and built an install disk on my jump drive using Lion Diskmaker 2.0.2, but when I tried to upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion using the jump drive, the install freezes at 24% and I cannot reboot or anything.  It just keeps coming back to the install screen.  Any suggestions?

    This could be due to a number of causes. If you have the Lion installer application, then I suggest you put it in your Downloads folder. Now do this:
    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.
    When you've done the above you should now double-click on the Lion installer application in your Applications folder. When prompted click on the Install button. Note that you will not use the flash drive you made as you shouldn't need it. And, this will avoid any issues with a bad flash drive installer.
