My iMac won't let me update to OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard.

My iMac won't let me update to OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard. It's year of manufacture is 2007 and when I try to install Snow Leopard it now says that it cannot be upgraded on the iMac. Normally it wouldn't bother me but Chrome and Firefox no longer support 10.5! Do I need a new Mac?

Are you using gray system disks from another mac? Normally that message means you're trying, for example, to use disks delivered with a MacBook to install on an iMac. The system disks are locked to the systems they are delivered with and can't be used on other mac hardware.
If that's the case here, call the online Apple store, which in the US is at 800-MY-APPLE, and order a retail copy of Snow Leopard 10.6.

Worked like a charm and resolved my problem totally. The only issue I had is that, unlike the Computer (Mac OS). the iPad doesn't give constant visibility to what it is doing (feedback), so I wasn't initially sure it had done anything.
When I opened my emailed message with .vcf file attached, and tapped the .vcf attachment icon, I saw activity on the icon for just a few seconds, then it reverted to the original with nothing apparently happening. After about 30 seconds, the secondary menut popped up indicating the transfer of 1200 addresses would be completed, if I approved the action. Another 10 to 15 seconds then transpired before the completed Contact list appeared on the ipad. So you must be patient, if you have a large Addressbook. That's reasonable,but unexpected lack of feedback left me wondering, like so many other things on the iPad.
THank you for the assist. Apparently Apples Mac Genius people did not know this procedure, and I will pass it on to my local Apple Store Instructor.

My MACBOOK Pro turned out to be Snow Leopard, and later upgraded to LION. And update the EFI, I would like to replace the Snow Leopard, EFI can not boot, how do? How to use the Snow Leopard install disk to reduce EFI?

Do you mean some of your software does not work in Lion? Do you want to return to using Snow Leopard? If so, then do this:
Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1. 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.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

I cal won't work with my new Snow Leopard OS and I can't find an updage, i cal won't work with my new Snow Leopard OS and I can't find an update, i cal won't work with my new Snow Leopard OS and I can't find an update

I upgraded to Snow Leopard because I want to upgrade to Lion so that I can upgrade my IPad2 to IOS5! All sorts of problems with this - but one is that iCal won't work (I haven't completed upgrade to Lion yet) and I can't find an update to make Ical work with Snow Leopard.

Oh and it also says:
Missing component: /Library/Printers/Lexmark/Drivers/.Resources/5600-6600 Series Color 2.lut

Can't use my mac since mavericks update but I didn't backup when I had snow leopard because I had no external hdd until I recently bought one. Can I revert back to SL?

So, here's the thing I just upgraded to Mac OS X Mavericks from SL but since upgrading my mac shuts off immediately by itself so I use it in safe boot. When I was running SL I didn't backup my stuff because I had external hdd, but I just bought one and I want revert back to snow leopard. How do I go back to snow leopard while also taking all my saved stuff even though I didn't backup it back then when I using SL?

PROBLEM
=========
After upgrading to maverick 10.9.2 my camera stopped working on my iMac and on my MacBookPro.
First I suspected that it was the maverick upgrade, which was the problem.
After spending several days with searching on the internet and trying all the different suggestions.
Which included re-format hard disk, re-install Maverick again, safe boot, removing old *.kext files, repair disk, check disk with permissions etc. etc. (waste of time)
I phoned apple support, but supporter said that it was a non apple App which caused the problem.
Then I say somebody saying that the AirDisplay was the problem.
SOLUTION
==========
I finally found out that:
By uninstalling the AirDisplay solved the problem, and now the camera works again.
Here is the link how to uninstall AirDisplay:

PLEASE Avatron
==============
When do Avatron have a fix for this particular problem. No update was available today when I tried.
Are Avatron working on the problem?
A lot of people have this problem with AirDisplay and Maverick Update 10.9.2 !!!!!
search google

I have a Macbook 10.5.8 (Intel Core 2 Duo) and I need to update the software. What software should I buy snow leopard, lion, maverick?

I need to update my Macbook as many applications do not run in my computer.
It's a Macbook 10..5.8 Intel Core 2 Duo, with graphics X3100.
I don't want to loose money, so I need to know if I have to buy first the Snow Leopard and then going for the Lion or others, or if I can buy directly Lion...
What would you recommend_
Thank you!

Yes. Neil's is the right approach.
In my view, Snow leopard is an excellent OS for that model comnputer. You must remember that many programs that are part of Leopard and Snow Leopard would be lost if you went higher, and that is if you could go higher.
The DVD you will buy is 10.6.3 and will need updating to 10.6.8, plus the Combo updater to clear the needs for the best security. Snow leopard does not appear to be supported now.

Hosting Software Updates for OS X Lion or Lion Server on Snow Leopard Server: instructions don't fit

I have a server running 10.6.8 and several services. Because some of the systems in my house are going to be upgraded to Lion (not the server), I want to be able to host Lion updates in addition to Snow Leopard Updates.
I followed the instructions to the letter located at http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4771 to make this happen, but a majorpart of instruction 5 does not exist!
I went to find the line
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} Darwin/11
in the /etc/swupd/swupd.conf file, but it does not exist. And yes, I do have root access, as I own the server.
I've searched for duplicate files with the same name, and I have had no luck.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, then what is the solution?

Solved. Thanks for the solution at https://discussions.apple.com/message/15678001.
Can a mod/admin close this please? Thanks.

Most recent update to Photoshop CC and Bridge breaks use with snow leopard. need previous vsn

The most recent version of Bridge CC installed with adobe's updater killed my systems year long use of Bridge CC so it won't load. I need the previous version. I can't update to 10.7 for technical and other software workflow reasons. How can I get back to the previous vsn that did work yesterday?

I would guess you need to uninstall bridge cc and then reinstall without applying the 6.1 update
(use the uninstaller in /Applications/Adobe Bridge CC)
You can download Bridge CC direct from here
Download New Adobe CC Trials: Direct Links (no Assistant/Manager) | ProDesignTools
And the Bridge cc 6.0.1 update from here any others you might need
(don't install the 6.1 bridge cc update, because that is the update that breaks bridge on 10.6.8)
All the Adobe CC Updates: The Direct Download Links for Mac OS | ProDesignTools
Be sure you follow the directions where it says Note: Very Important Instructions or the links won't work.

Macbook Pro Updated to 10.6.7, now mouse / keyboard issues Snow Leopard

Howdy all!
I've got a Macbook Pro 15" 2.5Ghz Intel core i5, last night I updated it top 10.6.7.
Now, it takes forever to boot and when it does I can move the mouse but it's no registering clicks or keyboard button presses. From what I've been able to find on the forums it was an issue with the Macbook Air, and also issues relation to itunes.
Further, it's stopped recognising the charger cable in some cases and is difficult to charge.
I can boot into safe mode and it works, and I'm trying to remove 10.6.7 but due to the limitations with USB I can't get it to find one, and it's not detecting disks either. I've tried zapping the PRAM but no luck.
Like everyone in the forum I need to rectify this asap for work, and would love any advice.
Any advice greatly welcomed, Could it be a logic board issue? Had one go on my ibook years ago and it had similar behaviour.
Thanks in advance,
Andy

Update:
Was able to install the 10.6.8 update and have functioning keyboard and mouse again which is grouse
Now the only issue is it's not recognizing the charger cable. I've tried resetting the PRAM and multiple power outlets, any ideas here? Otherwise I suppose it could be the faulty cable itself.
Any help appreciated
Cheers,
Andy

How to update safari browser after installing snow leopard

Hi,
I had been having trouble for a week and couldnt get online at all. Then I updated to snow leopard just before and I can get online with firefox. My safari web browser still isnt working. Each download I use to update states it is too old for snow leopard yet I cant find any close to it on the internet to help me update it so I can use it with the snow leopard. Anyone have any suggestions? The firefox isnt working that great either but its better than nothing. Also, what web browsers are you mostly using? Thank you in advance

Hello, I try to avoid Safari myself, but are you really on 10.5.6 & not 10.5.8 yet?
Does Software update show a newer Safari?

I have an older mac, i purchased Snow Leopard so that i could upgrade to Yosemite but now it says Snow Leopard is too out of date to update to Yosemite!

So i have an older Macbook that ran Leopard and i was told via Apple that in order to upgrade fully to Yosemite i would first have to purchase Snow Leopard, then i'd be able to update to Yosemite for free. I got the Snow Leopard disc (it was scratched which REALLY ****** me off, since i paid $20, but it seemed to work installing the new OS so whatever), and it's now at version 10.6.3 - i tried to run software updates and it says it's successful, but that i need to restart my computer. Every time i try, the screen just freezes with the desktop image and never restarts. And now i can't update to Yosemite because i need to have 10.6.8! I am very frustrated and not sure where to go from here. Can anyone help?

Don't panic. You can download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. Then you can access the App Store in order to download Yosemite.
Meanwhile you need to reinstall Snow Leopard properly:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. 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 the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
         you will be running a fresh install of OS X.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
