Downloading mac os x 10.6.8 update

hi I want to update my snow leopard but I don't think I can wait until the update is finished. My question is will my download pause if my laptop is off and continue when i turn it on or will it start from nothing when i turn it on?

Hi,
Funny (though it wasn't at the time!) but I was initially experiencing the same problems: part downloads (file size mismatch) and download errors.
However, at the time I was accessing the same WiFi connection with a PC while I waited for the download.
Now, it shouldn't make any difference, I appreciate that, and I've downloaded items in the past where there was another 3 computers accessing the same wireless connection. In this respect It may be a coincidence.
However, after 4 failed attempts I decided to sever the link between the PC and the wireless connection (only allowing my Mac access) and I received the update with no issues whatseover.
If you also have multiple machines accessing the same wireless connection, it might be worth a shot.
Best

  • Can i use 'iGetter' (a third party download accelerator) to download Mac OS X v10.7.4 update?

    can i use 'iGetter' (a third party download accelerator) to download Mac OS X v10.7.4 update? im running 10.7.2

    Third party download manangers usually end up causing problems when downloading apps from the App Store.
    Try installing the OS X Lion Update 10.7.4 (Client Combo)
    That will update your Mac to v10.7.4 but be aware that file size is 1.4 GB.
    Bear in mind, if at some point you need to reformat or repair the startup disk or reinstall the Mac OSX, you would need to use Lion Recovery which requires broadband access to the Internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection

  • Cannot download Mac OS X 10.7.5 update

    I have been trying to update my Mac OS X 10.7.4 to 10.7.5 Each time I have downloaded it comes up with the box that I am not connected to the internet, but I am.  Please help Thank you

    Try downloading and installing the 10.7.5 Combo Update instead of using Software Update. I'm assuming the issue you're having is from using Software Update.

  • Downloading Mac updates through a windows pc

    Is it possible to download OS X, iLife and other firmware updates to a windows pc, burn a disc and then copy to a mac for updating? We have a new mac at home with the slowest dial-up service in the west. However, I have DSL at work on a pc.
    Is this possible or am I just asking for file corruption problems?
    Thanks,
    20" iMac (intel)   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Should work fine. Just don't try and open the files on the PC. Burn them right to disc.

  • Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update download

    We have dial-up connection through Juno because we do not have any high speed internet available were we live. We were unable to retrieve the Mac OS X 10.4.8 update due to the size of the update. Our internet connection is lost before it comes close to updateing. We tryed downloading the update from the apple store and for some reason when I go to resume the update after loseing our internet connection the update is starting all over again instead of resumeing where it left off. Does anybody have a soluntion to my problem? My computer is a I Mac with intel 2 duo 2.16 GHz, one processor, two cores, L2 cache 4 MB, Memory 1 GB, Bus speed 667 MHz

    You have limited options:
    1. If there is an Apple retailer nearby you can have them copy the update to a CD for you - usually at no or nominal charge.
    2. You can go to a local Mac user group (if there is one in your area) where they would be happy to provide a copy of the update for you on a CD at no or nominal charge.
    3. You can find another Mac user who has a high-speed connection and can download the update for you.
    4. You can call AppleCare and order a copy of the update on CD for a charge of (I think) around $9.95.
    5. You could find a Mac owner somewhere who would copy the update to a CD and mail it to you at any negotiated cost. However, do not solicit this assistance on these forums. Of course anyone reading this post could offer their help.

    now my problem is that all my past work which i did on older version on GB, has missing sounds in it. so here are my questions
    1. DO i have to install JAMPACKS on my new Macbook pro?
    2. Are JAMPACKS still compatable with the new GB?
    3. There is an UPDATE on the new GB on Appstore and once i click it, it goes to billing no detail is provided what this update is for so help!
    thanks

    See: This document explains what the in-App purchase is about.
    Expanding GarageBand for Mac (v10.0) content with an in-app purchase
    Do you still have your old Mac?
    How did you migrate from the old Mac to the new Mac? Did you transfer your old software and documents using Setup Assistant? Then your old GarageBand '11 version should have been migrated, and all your instruments.
    if you did  not migrate GarageBand '11, copy your old Instruments Library and Loop Library over from the old mac. Copy the following folders to a thumbsdrive and merge the missing dontents into the corresponding folders on your new mac:  (from the system library - the top level library folder on your Macintosh HD):
    /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/
    /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/
    And if you would like to continue to use GarageBand '11 for access to missing features, copy also /Applications/GarageBand over, but to a subfolder of Applications. I recommend, to install the old GarageBand as well. It can be used in parallel to GB 10.0, and will come in handy, if your old projects are having problems.
    1. DO i have to install JAMPACKS on my new Macbook pro?
    2. Are JAMPACKS still compatable with the new GB?
    The JamPacks are nice to have, a terrific collection of instruments and loops, but if you did not have them previously, that will not help with your missing instruments. You can instll them by buying Mainstage 3. They work well with GarageBand 10.0

  • Where can i download mac os 10.6.7 update

    Download page here http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1363 does not work.

    You cannot download any version of Snow Leopard itself. In your case you can only update to 10.6.8 using Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    To go past Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks:
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?

  • I deleted an app downloaded from the Mac App Store, Mac App Store is showing an update for deleted app.

    I downloaded Blackmagic Speed Disk from the Mac App store last year.  Its not a pirated copy or anything.  I deleted the app cause I never used it.  After I deleted the app the Mac App Store shows an available update for the deleted app.  When I click update, it just re-downloads the app.   Cant figure out how to completly get rid of it.  I uninstalled the app and then used easy file finder to delete the app's files completely.  How do I get rid of the annoying Update??? Thanks
