Folks, relax. Snow Leopard 10.6.5 will be here soon enough...

... and 10.6.5 will be as perfect as Apple gets.
Early adopters often end up cat food... but you're at the right place to sort it out, the free Apple beta-testers consortium.

Please don't misunderstand my post to be overly negative on Apple. This forum is a place for advice, and during the past seven years one of the best bits of advice has always been to not update until you really need to, and more specifically, until the mid-releases of all versions of the OS when it finally becomes stable and third parties finally have caught up. Not just on Apple's account, but many other big software companies (Adobe and audio interface companies come to mind) are NOTORIOUSLY slow about getting THEIR programs and drivers to work with the new cat in town.
I've supported Apple; I have the little snow leopard on my desk in a box, and in his little box he will stay until I've made darn sure that my audio interfaces have proper working drivers and my newly purchased $2000+ CS4 Master Suite is working flawlessly with the little guy.
That's why I posted. Not to dis Apple, who I find through updating Logic and FCS (which finally forced me to update to Leopard only months ago) and finally getting onboard Blu-ray, returning matte screens, and removing bloat and further useless eye candy from Leopard to be responsive to MY needs. Finally there's a blu-ray tricked-out Mac Pro in my immediate future after waiting for three years.

    You should certainly update it to 10.6.8 via software update. As for for upgrading, it depends on what Mac it is.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.
    You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
    You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

  • I have a Mac OS X v 10.4.11 and trying to upgrade to snow leopard but it says I don't have enough RAM, what do I do?

    I have a Mac OS X v 10.4.11 and trying to upgrade to snow leopard but it says I don't have enough RAM, what do I do?

    What machine are you running on?
    As far as I recall, Snow Leopard's memory requirements were 1GB of RAM. All Intel-based Macs have shipped with at least that much, so I don't understand how you have a machine that doesn't have enough memory.

  • Upgrading from snow leopard to mountain lion will i have trouble using my Pages and Iphoto since it's not the latest version

    I am contemplating upgrading my OS from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.  Currently, I don't have ICloud available on my computer.  I also keep getting messages to upgrade my IPhoto to '11 version as well as Pages.  I know, I'm behind, but my theory is if it isn't broke don't mess with it.
    My concern is I don't want to lose my pictures and YES, I have backed up with Time Machine to an external hard drive.  (I just hope that's good enough).  IF I upgrade to start using ML OS, will I need to restore anything from my external hard drive or will I be able to start using computer as if nothing changed? 
    I know enough to be dangerous and I'm hesitant to upgrade for fear of losing everything.  Would appreciate help.  Thanks!

    So it's alright to "skip" downloading the Lion version first?  I can go directly from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion? 
    Correct, in fact, Lion is no longer directly available from the App Store.
    Also, do I need to "empty my trash"  before going forward?
    No need.

  • Is there any version of any operating system (Snow Leopard through Maverick) that will make my 2010 Macbook 7,1 run some-what efficiently again? Instead of just installing Maverick, should I consider re-installing any of the previous op systems?

    My 13-inch, Mid-2010 Macbook has declined in performance with every operating system upgrade. Maverick functioned, unlike Yosemite, which I currently have every intention of deleting. Honestly, the last time my mac could run multiple applications at once without slowing to a crawl and then crashing was on Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion. Although I'm not quite sure at what point my Mac ran smoothest, but remained compatible with the new applications I've downloaded over the years. I know that it's been too long since I enjoyed using my 2010 Macbook. In fact, I thoroughly enjoy using my 2008 Macbook more, despite it's limited compatibility and obsolete features.
    I own a Snow Leopard install disk, or could install any of the operating system on my desktop and reinstall using a USB method, or any other means to successfully wipe a disk clean of Yosemite that many of you might know that works similarly (I didn't have Time Machine on). With that being the case, what is my best option for deleting Yosemite, and recovering an older OS X operating system successfully?
    The question I have for all of you with knowledge superior to my mediocre Mac mind, is what operating system can I reinstall on this Mac that will give it the best shot to function acceptably? Is any specific version compatible with all/most new software and such, but before Maverick and Yosemite raised my active memory usage through the run, along with constant lagging, and then a kernel panic. Through extensive googling, I've become more confused and frustrated. I could not get a concrete answer due to the questions phrasing, but hopefully someone can assist me here ASAP, please. How can I run Google Chrome and have a Celtx document open again without unavoidable crashing? I won't be greedy and dare ask for an additional, minimally energy draining application run in the background. Again, my 2008 runs beautifully, but is limited in compatibility. My newer 2010 Mac runs like it's struggling for memory (I've used 30 gb out of the 200, using my out-dated Macbook for most of my Mac tasks.
    My minor question.... For deleting Yosemite, what method is the most effective and easy considering the options? My major question..... Will reinstalling an operating system on a fresh disk, is any operating system valuable enough to consider installing and avoiding re-updating to Maverick? Or is Maverick my best shot? And a Mac that is significantly newer and more compatible with current hardware and software, and has approx 100 gb less on it's drive than my 2008 Mac, yet the Yosemite Mac can't handle of a fraction of the 2008 Snow Leopard activity. This is my 5th physical Macbook in less than a decade, btw. Along with pads and phones. I refuse to give Apple more money to solve this, so that is not the answer I'm looking for. Thank you.

    FIRSTLY, THANK YOU! I appreciate any help you can lend me here. Below is a Etrecheck from today.
    Essentially, Google Chrome and ANY other program open will eventually freeze up. I deleted Chrome. Re-downloaded. Completely deleted. Used Safari. Absolutely NO BETTER.
    If I'm writing a really long document in a word processor and using a thesaurus or dictionary application in the background.... That will eventually freeze my mac.
    So ANY assistance here would be terrific because since Yosemite it's been impossible to tolerate. 
    Problem description:
    If 2 “major” programs are running at the same time, my Macbook is almost unusable due to lag, crashes, and freezes.

  • If I reinstall snow leopard using official disk will I lose my files on iMac(photos in iPhoto)?

    My iMac with snow leopard has recently started working very slowly- I don't know what to do! After turning it on it works normally for about a minute and then it starts. Even if I don't enter the system and stay at the screen with list of users it happens- so please give a piece of advice how to fix it or otherwise I will have to reinstall OS, but I can't lose my photos!!

    You may have diagnosed the problem, by the way
    Snow Leopard will reinstall and automatically preserve User data, such as your photos. But maybe before you do that, if you don't already have a backup, first buy an external hard drive and if it does start successfully or reinstall successfully, move your valuable photos to the external drive, in case the internal Hard drive fails.
    Once you have your valuable data copies to another location, you won;t have lost anything that cannot be replaced.

  • I am going to upgrade from leopard to snow leopard ( I just purchased the snow leopard disk today).  Will I be able to keep my data and third party programs after installation?

    Hi Apple Community,
    This is my first time using the Apple Support Communities.  After installing/upgrading to snow leopard from disk will I lose my data and my third party programs like Adobe Indesign?
    Thank you in advance,
    John

    John... welcome to ASC,
    You could if you don't backup everything to an external drive first. Always backup your important data before upgrading from one Mac OS to the next.
    "Backup"  most important word in computing 
    Make sure your Mac meets Snow Leopard's minimum requirements before upgrading >   Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard - Technical Specifications

  • I got a Macbook OS X Snow Leopard Installation disc. Will it work on a Desktop Mac too? I want to upgrade to Lion

    I got the OSX Install Dvd that came with my Macbook with the Snow Leopard OS. It says it is a "Macbook" disk so thats my question...
    Will it work with a Desktop Computer?
    Its a Leopard 10.5.8, it has an Intel Core Duo
    I want to update it to lion.
    Thanks

    No. DVD that come with Mac are are specific to the hardware of the Mac they shipped with and will not work on another. If you wish to upgrade you must buuy the Snow Leopard DVD.
    A Mac with an Intel Core Duo processor can't be upgraded to Lion. The Mac must have an Intel Core 2 Duo processor in order for Lion to install.

  • If have MBA (lion), imac (Snow Leopard), iphone (ios 4) will icloud sync all three?

    I have a Mobile Me account.  Will MBA (lion), imac (snow leopard), iphone 3s (ios 4) synch from icloud?
    Thanks

    At it's heart Lion is OS X. Yes it has new features and like any product you may like some and not have a use for others. The IOS desktop look alike on Lion is called Mission Control, while I've played with it I have no need for it either and rarely if ever look at it. However for someone that has used OS X for several years it's not necessary, my guess is it's designed for those that want to transition from a IOS device to a Mac.
    The success of any major upgrade is in the preparation. You have done one of the first steps to see your software is up-to-date. You may want to check with the apps you use frequently and see if they have updates too. I use a free tool called AppFresh that survey's all the apps on my computer and lets me know if updates are available. You can download AppFresh from Macupdate.com if you are interested. Next make sure your computer meets Lion System requirements which are:
    Mac OS X Lion System Requirements
    In order to install Mac OS X 10.7 you will need:
    Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of RAM (I'd recommend 4GB or more)
    Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later with the Mac App Store installed
    At least 4GB of additional disk space to accommodate the download, but more is obviously recommended
    Once your machine has met the hardware and software requirements then you're ready to get Lion installed. As with any update again do a little preparation, I'd recommend using the suggestions in this Update Process post. This all sounds like a lot of work but it makes for a fun Saturday afternoon project if you like to tinker a bit.

  • I have snow leopard with bootcamp what will happen if I create a new partition and install Lion

    query as subject line - I was planning to create a new partition using disk utility and installing lion on that - I am aware Lion will Create a recovery partition in addition - so is it possible to have Snow with it's Bootcamp and Lion with it's recovery on my imac purchased jan 2012?
    Subsequent question although I purchased Lion from the mac store can I jump straight to Mountain Lion (if I purchase it) from Snow leopard?

    If you plan to create a third partition, then you will lose control over your Boot Camp partition and ability to boot Windows. You cannot have three partitions as you desire.
    You can upgrade the Snow Leopard system to Lion or Mountain Lion. You can obtain another HDD and install Lion or Mountain Lion on the external drive.
    Yes, you can purchase and download Mountain Lion to upgrade the Snow Leopard system.

  • New ipad air 2.  Itunes on Mac (snow leopard). New ipad will only synch music from restored from my old ipad 2.  Won't synch all other music from itunes.

    Just purchased new ipad air 2. When I performed system restore from the backup from my old ipad 2, the music that was on my old ipad transferred to my new ipad.  But I can't synch the rest of the music I have in my itunes on my mac (snow leopard. itunes 11.4). Suggestions?

    Hi were you able to resolve yours?
    I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
    Perform a hard reboot
    Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on.

  • Snow Leopard 10.6.1 will not connect to Kyocera Mita Copystar

    I have a Macbook Pro running the latest version of OS X v10.6.1.
    In our office we have a Copystar (Kyocera Mita) CS-2550 on a network.
    Down the hall we have a Windows XP machine that connects to the CS-2550, and in settings I have found it connects via TCP/IP, with an IP address something like 192.68.##.##
    When I first got my Macbook Pro in February 2009 I was able to connect to this network copier/printer. In July I had to reformat this hard drive and reinstall OS X, then recently installed Snow Leopard. Not until last week did I try to reconnect to the CS-2550.
    I went to the Copystar site and downloaded Kyocera Mita OSX 10.4 & 10.5 installer v 1.0.
    Is this the correct file to download and install?
    Is there another file I should also download and install?
    Is Snow Leopard, 10.6.1 not compatible with Copystar CS-2550?
    I installed the file and in System Preferences / Print & Fax / Open Print Queue / it reads..... "The printer software was installed incorrectly. Please reinstall the printer's software or contact the manufacture for assistance."
    I know that my Mac saw the printer, because during Printer Setup it found "Kyocera Mita CS-2550 (KPDL) without me having to type that in.
    Please help if you can.
    Thank you,
    Dan

    We have a KM-2550 and this solved it. HTH.
