Does install of snow leopard automatically upgrade safari
does install of snow leopard automatically upgrade safari? or, automatically include latest,newest version of safari?
From the Wikipedia Safari page.
"Safari 6.0 was previously known as Safari 5.2 until Apple announced the change at WWDC 2012. The stable release of Safari 6 coincided with the release of OS X Mountain Lion on July 25, 2012, and is integrated into the OS. As Apple integrated it with Mountain Lion, it is no longer available for download from the Apple website or other sources. Apple released Safari 6 via Software Update for users of OS X Lion. It has not been released for OS X versions prior to Lion or for Windows, and Apple has not made any statements either confirming or denying future updates at this time."

I upgraded to snow leopard, since then safari does open in the dock (white dot) but does not startup as set in system preferences. Also, if I open safari, the title page remains blank even though I have set a home page under safari's preferences. I re-initialised safari, but no change.
Having put my home-page under "new windows open with home-page" solves the "blank title page problem".
One problem left: "safari" does not startup automatically as set in system preferences, whereas "mail", also set for startup DOES startup -
I have been installing the Snow Leopard upgrade for 3 hours. Is this normal?
I have been trying to install the Snow Leopard uprade that I received from Apple Inc., but it has said that it will take 45 minutes for the last 3 hours. Is this normal?
Are you referring to the Snow Leopard DVD? What specific model are you installing it on? Are you upgrading an earlier version of OS X? Did you do this before attempting to install the upgrade:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X 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.
An upgrade can take a couple of hours but usually 45-50 minutes would be normal. -
I just purchased a ipad2, it would not work on my MacBook 10.4.1 I purchased and installed OSX snow leopard 10.6.3 downloaded and installed the latest itunes, set up an itunes account, purchased some music and apps. When i plug in my ipod it shows up and works, but when i plug in my new ipad the ipad screen comes up with a display of a cable and itunes but does not show in devises, i have tried all the resets and different USB ports with no success. Any ideas short of selling it on ebay or buying a new computer?
If you've already tried the usual rebooting of the computer and ports and stuff, there is only a few things left I can think of. It's possible that when you updated iTunes it didn't fully replace all the files, so I suggest just manually removing iTunes and then reinstalling it.
Try removing iTunes manually first http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224 then download a fresh copy, make sure it is 10.3.1
It is essential that you go through Finder to remove those files it mentions. Otherwise they won't be reinstalled when you run the installer again. -

I have upgraded my snow leopard to mavericks. Now I want to install the snow leopard in a hard disk partition. But the mac refuses to start the installation app on the snow leopard dvd. What to do?

Safari installed with Snow Leopard stalls, slow typing, generally awful
What is the deal with this?
I just did a clean install of snow leopard, to test this. Safari 4.0.3 as installed with snow leopard simply will not open 25% or more of the pages I try to go to, giving a consistent "Safari can't find the server" message. I click on a link, safari hangs for minutes on end and says it can't find the server. I open the same pages with FF and they open immediately. Safari 4.0.3 on OS X 10.5.8 (which I've reverted to because the snow leopard update is SO awful and buggy) worked great. Now it barely works at all.
What happened to Apple? Why did they release an obviously beta-level update to their OS, when the previous version was itself so weak?Greetings,
Safari 4.0.3 is not a beta release; the fact that you're having a problem indicates there's a problem on your system. Try these steps to see if they will resolve the issue:
Quit Safari if it's running and open System Preferences>Network>Advanced.
In the DNS Server tab, make sure IPv6 is turned off, and enter these two DNS servers to replace the ones you currently have:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
click Apply Now and quit System Preferences.
Next, do these things in order:
1. Go to Home/Library/Cookies and delete the Cookies.plist file.
2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
3. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Web Page Previews and delete the contents of that folder.
4. If you don't want to use the Top Sites feature, open Terminal and paste in this command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSnapshotsUpdatePolicy -int 2
then press Enter and quit Terminal when you see the command prompt again.
5. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
6. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
7. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete these files (if you have them):
Downloads.plist
History.plist
Form Values
LastSession.plist
WebpageIcons.db
Then Repair Disk Permissions, restart Safari and see if the speed is improved. -
Just installed Lion OS on my 2nd mac (on the 1st without an issue) but as I had a partition with windows 7 (installed with Snow Leopard bootcamp).
It seems that Lion OS renamed the Bootcamp partition but I am not able to rename it through OS.
Is there a solution for this or do I need to re-install?
Many thanks for your help
RuiHi Jack.........ok ive managed to create a link to that video on how to install bootcamp.....this is the tutorial i used and i managed to gain 100% completion on bootcamp 1st time no messing......like i said in my previous reply did you save the windows support files from apple....(Critical).....ok no point in messing about i suggest you start again from scratch........these are the things i used and YOU will need to complete bootcamp
mem stick or cd-r / dvd-r......original copy disc of win 7 ...i never used an iso i used original disc....allow a minimum of 30gb of space for your win 7 partition.....if you want bootcamp so you can use big programs like windows based games i.e.....Crysis/Call of duty etc etc ..then you will need to consider that you will need to allow a bigger partition to allow your HD to store the files.....this is the reason i installed bootcamp and so i made my partition i have a 750GB HD so i made a partition of 300gb for windows 7 and left the other 450gb for Mac....so you need to partition enough for what you want bootcamp for remember once you get bootcamp working you will need to install ALL Important Windows updates Including Win 7 SP1......once everything is installed you will have bootcamp up and running lovely.....u can then boot up with either win7 or mac......click this link and watch carefully and do exactly as shown ok and you should be fine...if you have any probs contact me again ok.....let me know how you get on ok..:)...http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=fvwp&v=QFIWtXTl4d0&NR=1 -
I did a clean install of Snow Leopard and now when I reloaded iWork 09 from my timemachine it will not open anything. any ideas.
iWork '09 is still available from the likes of Amazon.
Your experience is why I never trusted downloaded versions when there's a physical DVD available.
It may be possible to reactivate with your code, but I can't advise you as to how. -
After clean install of Snow Leopard, Time Machine did not restore all files. When I try to restore these files I get "Not enough disk space" error. What do I need to do to get these important files back onto my Mac from my external hard drive??

About 3 years old...pretty dated now I guess. Am thinking I may just need to have it upgraded by a Mac tech.
For what the Apple Store's charge you can buy almost buy a new computer.
Just for giggles I brought my old laptop in for a drive upgrade and asked, they wanted $600 for a drive that only cost $120 at the time and it was a slow 5,400 RPM drive. The new Mac's of a similar make were going for $1000.
I did the drive replacement myself, got a faster drive of better quality for $300 instead.
Then another time I asked for a RAM upgrade from 4GB to 8GB, they wanted to charge $400 + $35 for the labor.
The same RAM is on Crucial.com for $90 and all I need is a 00 micro phillips screwdriver.
So you see what's going on here.
I think what you should do, if your out of warranty/AppleCare, is to call up the local PC tech guy who also does Mac's and have them fix you right up.
They can offer more personalized care which you need. Clone your old drive to the new and everything.
With Apple they are overworked at the Genius Bar and just place roadblocks so you buy a new machine instead.
For instance, all new iMac's now have proprietary drive software installed on the hard drives for heat monitoring. So now the only choice a user has is to bring their iMac into a Apple Store for a very expensive drive upgrade, which a person then decides the money is better spent buying a new machine. -
I have Mac OS X 10.5.8. How do I upgrade to Snow Leopard to upgrade to Mountain Lion?
Your machine is likely too dated to run 10.8 at all , or if it does will run slow.
It won't run your PPC based software or hardware drives for external hardware.
10.6 will run your PPC software and likely is best for that machine performance speaking, Software Update to 10.6.8 and stay there.
You better do your research first.

Installing iPhoto on a clean install of Snow Leopard
I bought a new Mac and gave my dad my old Macbook Pro (15 inch Core 2 Duo, 2006). I was running Snow Leopard on the laptop but I wanted to clean it off before giving it to him. So, I inserted the Snow Leopard disc, restarted the computer, held down C, and ran disk utility and erased it. Then I did a clean install of Snow Leopard. I didn't realize that SL did not contain iLife (I know, silly me). I would rather not reinstall Tiger, Leopard, and then Snow Leopard all over again, so is there any way to get iLife on the laptop?
So far, I have inserted the 2nd disc of Leopard and clicked on Install Bundled Software, but kept getting Alert: This software cannot be installed on this computer. And Insterting either of the Tiger discs does not work either.Yes, older software will most of the time not load. Especially from a previous OSX. If I remember correctly I had to by iLife when I upgraded, I do have the disks, and I beleive I bought them after I installed SL. (SL did not come iLife)
They do offer iPhoto on the APP store, but that is V 9.51 which won't run on SL, the most 10.6.8 iPhoto is 9.2.3
The new iLife'11 has too new versions, that's why I said to buy the OLD version of '11
I have all those discs as well, I would not have bought "11 if I could have loaded off one of those discs.
Maybe someone knows a trick to make those old applcations load, and I would be most interested in finding how they did it.
All the best -
Questions about Performing a clean install of Snow Leopard
Hi I plan on performing a clean install of Snow Leopard. I've never done a clean install of any OS before. I have a couple of questions. Is it easy to do? is it safe? Is a clean install of Snow Leopard better than doing an upgrade?
Do I have to format my new internal hard Drive that I recently installed or only my Main drive?? It's basically used to store movies and music. Any info is greatly appreciatedStuart Lawrence wrote:

why and what exactly do you mean by clean install? install on an empty drive?
I've never done a clean install of any OS before. I have a couple of questions. Is it easy to do?
yes.
is it safe?
yes
Is a clean install of Snow Leopard better than doing an upgrade?
IMO, not if your system is working ok. doing an erase and install will buy you a lot of work migrating your data.
Do I have to format my new internal hard Drive that I recently installed or only my Main drive??
yes. boot from the snow leopard dvd, reformat your drive with disk utility (it's in the Utilities menu). set the partition scheme to GUID and format to MAC OS extended journaled. once the drive is reformatted, quit disk utility and proceed with the install.
It's basically used to store movies and music.
I don't understand, is it empty or does it have something on it already? all that stuff will be wiped out if you follow the above procedure.
Any info is greatly appreciated
I would recommend doing a regular install. just make sure you have a *full backup* before you do. a bootable backup using CCCloner or Superduper is teh best. a TM backup is ok too.
BTW, you have posted this in the Time machine forum for leopard. this is really not the right place to ask this. -
Clean install of Snow Leopard, but keep iCal and iTunes
Dear All,
I would like to do a clean install of Snow Leopard (as I am having problems after doing the upgrade). I know how to do the install, but am confused as to how to transfer back my itunes library and iCal calendars after the install from time machine. Can someone give me easy instructions please?
Thanks, SteveSteveyJC wrote:
Thanks VK, dont think i need anything else. Is there anything else I'm obviously missing?
that's up to you to decide. most people want to keep a lot more than you've indicated.
Things like pictures, movies, documents, mail, bookmarks, passwords, applications. that's why I normally recommend backing up the whole drive.
but it's really up to you.

Clean Install of Snow Leopard and Multiple Drives
Greetings,
I want to do a clean install of Snow Leopard because of various issues carried over from previous upgrades and the like. I have the original 250 GB ATA drive and a 1 TB ATA drive installed, plus a couple of other external drives available via USB and Firewire. I was wondering if there would be a recommended configuration of the install of the OS utilizing the multiple drives? i.e. using the 250 GB drive exclusively for the OS and the 1 TB drive for Applications, music files, photos, games, etc. would I have to make any specific changes to the location of any of the folders and would this create any problems when doing so? Am I over thinking this? I am a little confused as to how to approach this. Please help any advice will be appreciated! Thanks in advance!wildcheese wrote:

What kind of issues? There are very few that warrant a clean install to eliminate & some that will just recur until you find & eliminate their real cause.
I was wondering if there would be a recommended configuration of the install of the OS utilizing the multiple drives?
The only ones I recommend are those that dedicate a drive other than your normal startup one for backups. To be clear, I mean that the originals & the backups should be on entirely different drives, not just on different partitions of the same drive.
i.e. using the 250 GB drive exclusively for the OS and the 1 TB drive for Applications, music files, photos, games, etc. would I have to make any specific changes to the location of any of the folders and would this create any problems when doing so? Am I over thinking this?
Yes, you are probably over thinking this.
There are some advantages to using a different drive for user files & possibly even for the entire user home folder, but there are also possible problems for any configuration different from the standard one with the OS, apps, & all user folders on the same startup drive. As already suggested, you can move large users folders for some apps like iTunes libraries to a different drive (or even split the media content among different drives) but unless you have a compelling reason to do so, it is much simpler to leave everything in the default configuration.
