Does Snow Leopard ship with dictionaries in any other languages?

Someone asked me this question today and I assumed that it did because it seems logical. However, I can not seem to get it working. If I change the language of my OS to French from English and then type up a document in Pages, will it spell check in French or am I on my own? What about Spanish, etc.?

By default, it is set to pick the language for spell check automatically. That assumes you set the language of the text, first. You can set the language of the text in Pages Text inspector. Select the text, click on More in the text inspector, and set the language.
I wrote a passage in my best 20+ year-old high school French, and it came up all marked wrong. I selected it and marked it as French, and the spelling all checked good.
I'm not sure what happens when you change the language of the computer and why that didn't switch everything for you. Was Pages still open when you changed? Did you restart?

Does Snow Leopard come with a word processor?

Tiger came with Appleworks. As far as I can tell, the only word processor that came with my new Mac is TextEdit. Was I gipped? Was something not installed on my computer that should have been? Or do I just have to buy Iwork?

Whilst not a high end word processor, TextEdit has more abilities than many people realize, or have spent time exploring.
It really has some great features.

I think we need more clarification.
What do you mean by "download"? Only updates are available as downloads, the System software has to be installed from a DVD.

HT201364 is there any way to update to OS X from a non-aluminum Macbook from 2008 that has the 2 gb of memory and snow leopard installed, with 8 gb of free space?

The Early 2008 MacBook can only go up to Lion...the compatibility requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are the same http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/ which says Late 2008 MacBook.

Just installed snow leopard and can't open any of my word docs?

Just installed snow leopard and can't open any of my word docs?

Depends on what you're doing; SL doesn't really support Office docs directly. In Snow Leopard, TextEdit can open Word docs, albeit with little fidelity for anything beyond text. Try iWork if you need to really work with Word docs (note that even then it's an import/export process and not native support).

Does Snow Leopard support AirPlay and Apple TV?

Does Snow Leopard support AirPlay or Apple TV? I want to use my iMac superdrive to stream a DVD movie to my TV. ('07 iMac OS-X 10.6.8)

I want to buy a new Macbook pro 15", but I don't like Lion, I want Leopard installed, is there any issues with drivers or any other I should be aware of?

I want to buy a new Macbook pro 15", but I don't like Lion, I want Leopard installed, is there any issues with drivers or any other I should be aware of?

Hello, I've tried Lion from the day they released to last week I got my computer formated and with leopard again, on my iMac 24" from early 2009 2.9 Ghz core 2 duo, and I have installed 8 Gb of memory, and i have some complains about it, there are some cosmetic issues but mostly I'm concerned about issues bellow the hood, as I'm a stock trader and I depend completly from my computer's performance, let me explain:
Superficial issues:
1. They took off "spaces" and I liked it.
2. I dont use the magic mouse, I need a more accurate mouse for my charts, and it seems they built the entire OS assuming you would use the magic mouse for gestures, scroll, etc to try to mimic in some way the Ipad and Iphone functions, but what if you arent using it like me?
3. I never used that little rocket icon that makes all your apps appear and that could be one of the "improvements on Lion", at first sight it looks nice and slick, but if you try to use it and make it part of your daily use, you would find it is useless, it is a pain to try to arrange it the way you like it, so I rather use the spotlight to search for my apps, its faster.
Now the MOST important, 'performance':
1. It completly suffocate my computers hardware Leopard much more lighter, beggining from the start up that taked almost 1/3 or twice the time, and I think Lion has some bugs bellow the hood, i was doing my normal stuff, some apps running and everything, and suddenly I started to feel the computer a little slow, safari taking forever to open the pages for example, and I opened the activity monitor to see what was going on, and it was there, I was using 4 or 5 gb from my memory, and CPU making insane peaks, and Im using 2.46 gb as im writing it doing exactly the same stuff, (but Im happily using Leopard now), and it wasnt once, as i told before, I used lion since the day they released it and happened several times until it drove me nutts. But leopard not problem in that regard at all, Never.
hope this helps, and hope some apple guys read that because lion resulted in a big disappointment for me.

Does Snow Leopard support MacBook Pro 2007

Posting this on behalf of a friend who has a 17" MacBook Pro from the late 2007 that original had 10.4 installed-- it is running Intel 2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo.
From my readings on the web, it is said that Snow Leopard (10.6) supports MacBook Pro that is running Intel chip sets. However, she brought the Pro to some Apple store and the staff says that she cannot install 10.6 on her Pro and can only upgrade to 10.5.
Can anyone confirm this? (and know the reason why?)

Legally you DO need Leopard as SL is an update to Leopard.
No, it is not. There are three Snow Leopard licenses. The single user, the family pack, and the discounted update for people who bought a Mac shortly before SL release. It was something like $10. That is the discounted price for the upgrade version.
The 10.5 only purchase price is reduced, but the pack with iLife includes a full price version.
The SL price is "reduced" over previous OS releases because it doesn't offer anything strikingly new from Leopard. It was essentially a rewrite of the Leopard code to make most of the apps 64-bit.
Upgrading from Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard.
If your Intel-based Mac is running Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard, just purchase Mac OS X v10.6.3 Snow Leopard and follow the simple installation instructions.
Upgrading from Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger.
If your Intel-based Mac is running Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger, purchase the Mac Box Set, which is a single, affordable package that includes Mac OS X v10.6.3 Snow Leopard; iLife, with the latest versions of iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, iWeb, and iDVD; and iWork, Apple’s productivity suite for home and office including Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
That is a marketing campaign suggesting a good method to move from Tiger to Snow Leopard and get the current iLife apps.
[The Software License Agreement|http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/macosx106.pdf] is specific to the type of purchase you make and what license you have. If you buy a single-user license of Snow Leopard, you can use it on one apple branded computer--no requirement for having Leopard installed or purchased previously.
If you buy a family pack license, you can install it on up to five Apple branded computers. Again, no requirement to have Leopard installed or otherwise.
If you buy a Upgrade for Mac OS X Leopard, you can install it on an Apple branded computer that has Leopard installed.
Those three licenses correspond to the three ways Snow Leopard is sold (or was in the case of the Upgrade for Mac OS X Leopard).
If you buy a single-user license of Snow Leopard, you have a legal right to install it and use it on any one Apple branded computer (that meets the min requirements) regardless of ever owning any other version of Mac OS X.

Does snow leopard support word '04

I have a book saved on WORD '04. Does Snow Leopard 10.6.3 allow me to rewrite and resave on Snow Leopard using WORD '04 or must I upgrade to another Word version? Can I use a plug in with WORD '04 saved documents?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Snow Leopard is compatible with Office 2004 for Mac, including Word, so you can use it. However, if you want to upgrade to a newer OS X version, you need to get Office 2008 or 2011 for Mac, because Snow Leopard is the last Mac OS X version that supports Office 2004.
Another option you can consider is to use an application like LibreOffice, free and open-source, which is compatible with newer OS X versions and that can use Office documents. I do not recommend iWork because it does the same as LibreOffice and you have to pay to get it

HT3918 Does Snow Leopard use all the ram installed, I know that Leopard didn't.

Does Snow Leopard use all the ram installed, 10 gigs in my case. Leopard didn't.

You should be OK with that much, however, besides the basic needs of the OS, it will depend on how many and which applications are open and how memory intensive they are. Someone might easily get away with 4GB and someone else might have trouble with 16GB.

How to have Snow Leopard, Mavericks with built-in recovery, and Windows 7 (Bootcamp) on my iMac (Intel)?

I would like to have Snow Leopard, Mavericks with built-in recovery, and Windows 7 (Bootcamp) on my iMac (Intel). Is this possible? If so, how? Currently, I have Snow Leopard and Windows 7 (Bootcamp) running on my iMac. I have enough disk space to split my Snow Leopard partition. I have read that if I split my Snow Leopard partition, clone my Snow Leopard partition to the new partition, and boot to the new partition, that I may have problems with the Maverick's upgrade because it may not be able to create the recovery parition, or that it may erase the Windows partition, or that it may mess up the Windows boot process.

Simplest is to install Mavs on an ext HD, using FW or TB. I don't do windoze, so can't advise about the Boot Camp and multiple volumes issue. Since there's no Boot Camp, I have four volumes running SL through Mavs.

There is no way I would do the smc thing with a laptop that won't come on.

If it's new and you're anywhere near an Apple Store, take it in. If it's less than 14 days old you can exchange it. If it's more they'll repair it for you.

I recently upgraded to Mavericks from Snow Leopard. Does Snow Leopard still exist on my Mac? If so, is it possible to restart under Snow Leopard in order to run PowerPC apps? If not, is there an OS available in 64 bit that supports PowerPC apps? Mav ***.

The only reason I upgraded to Mavericks was because my Snow Leopard OS was 32 bit, which I was told would support only 4GB of RAM.
That wasn't quite right. You can put in as much RAM as your Mac's hardware supports. The division is in the apps themselves. A 32 bit app can't use more than 4 GB or RAM. A 64 bit app can use much more.
For example, as a 32 bit only version, Photoshop CS3 can't use more 4GB of RAM, no matter how much you actually have installed. CS4 or later can use all the RAM you want to throw at it.

Where does Snow Leopard store iTunes Music

Greetings,
I wanted to get a clean start for my iTunes Library.
First, I deleted my iTunes folder in Documents into the trash and then emptied the Trash. Second, I deleted the iTunes app.
I went to iTunes and downloaded a new iTunes application. After it was installed the entire iTunes music library was there when I opened my new download of the iTunes Application.
Where did it come from if I deleted my iTunes folder thinking I was deleting all of my downloaded songs?
So my question is where does Snow Leopard store these songs? I assumed they would be gone so I could begin to put in new albums in my iTunes.
Thanks in advance for your help and support.
Leigh

You can find out or change where the actual songs are by opening iTunes/Preferences/Advanced (I'm still on iTunes 8 so I apologize if your menu looks different). Click my link below. The yellow highlight is mine.
