For a complete new install, do I have to install Leopard 1st, then Snow?

Ok, now Snow is out, I want to reinstall from scratch, do I have to install leopard 1st (my iMac came with it pre installed and have disks) or can I just use the Snow Leopard DVD to install from scratch
I have backed up what I want , ie iTunes, videos, docs, and want to do a brand new install from scratch.
cheers

Ok, so I can just do a complete fresh install of Snow, I'm not bothered about archive or anything, just a fresh copy of Snow, as if it came pre-installed from Apple factory.
I dont have a Time Machine backup yet, as I all I need for backup is iTunes Library, Videos, photos, everything else I'm not bothered about. So I take it can just manually copy these to my iMac after fresh install of Snow?
Also another question....I have a Intel iMac, bought Xmas 2007, spec wise It:
Model Identifier: iMac7,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 800 MHz
Do you think Snow will speed up my system, as now its a "bit old". It was the lowest spec when I bought it in the range (added another 1Gb RAM) but it was my 1st Mac ever, and all I could afford
cheers

You need to be running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer to sync the iPhone 5; this may require buying a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store. OS upgrades aren't covered by the warranty.

Firefox does not open a new tab when you click the plus sign button which is actually a shortcut for opening a new tab. You have to open a new firefox window in order to get a new tab. Please help. Thanks.

I didn't have this problem before with Firefox. My kids must have pressed something or clicked on something that's the open new tab button does not function anymore. No matter how you click it, it doesn't open a new tab. Even if you click on file, then go to new tab, it still doesn't open a new tab. You have to open a new firefox window in order to do multiple browsing.
Hope you can help resolve this problem.
Sincerely,
Ems Guillarte

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened. Checking your list of add-ons, the MyPlayCity toolbar is a version of the Ask toolbar.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

New Install Works Fine then System Crashes After Time Machine Backup

I have installed Snow Leopard and everything went fine. I setup my external drive as the backup drive for Time Machine and did a backup. Then when I next used it, various applications started crashing. Then the System began crashing and gave me the gray screen restart and would never load again.
I got out the Snow Leopard disk and used DIsk Utilities to repair the disk and permissions, which seemed to work well. The computer worked great for a while. Then after I used Time Machine to back it up, when I next used it the System began crashing again.
What is going on here? It seems to be too much of a coincidence that the problems started immediately after I performed my first Time Machine backup to an external drive.

Actually I already did that more or less. I re-installed the Snow Leopard printer drivers from the DVD after I previously repaired my system using DIsk Utilities. After which, I was prompted to download and install the 10.6.2 Combo update again. Which I did. After which, I ran disk utility and repaired and permissions verified the disk. But if you think going back to the original 6.0 install is important, then I presume you also mean I need to run all the subsequent updates as well?
So you only re-insalled printer drivers and updated the existing OS to 10.6.2? Then that may be enough. Otherwise, if the issue returns, I would suggest a full re-install of the OS at 10.6.0 followed by updates to 10.6.2.
However, first I am going to repair the drive and NOT enable Time Machine or perform a back-up, to see how long it lasts without crashing. The last two times, the crashing began within an hour of finishing the install and repairing the disk (immediately following a "co-incidental" Time Machine backup both times, of course). It's entirely possible Time Machine is not the culprit, however, that will confirm whether it has been the trigger.
Good troubleshooting strategy. Only time will tell.
Another thought occurs to me...Is the RAM that is installed on your Mac the original cards supplied by Apple - or did you upgrade it with 3rd party RAM yourself. The crashing you described earlier could very well be from a bad RAM card - even one that came from Apple.
It is one 2GB card, or two 1GB cards? If the crashing continues, I would suggest taking one of them out and seeing how things perform, then switching them and seeing if things change.

No premium OWA for IE11 with new install of Exchange 2013 w/sp1

We just installed Exchange Server 2013 with sp1 included. Everything is good except IE11 users don't get the premium OWA site. I know that this was fixed in CU3, but you can't install it because SP1 is supposed to contain all the fixes through CU3.
Does anyone have any idea?

There's nothing wrong with the server.
I have LAB environment also and OWA will show as legacy client rather Exchange 2013.
I would suggest the same I suggested before... Uninstall IE11 and install IE10
Also the windows Update has to be UpToDate

How much is 3GS for a completely new customer ?

Until now, the only apple product i've ever used is my ipod. i just want to know, how much is it for a new customer like me if i'm planning to buy three 3gs? i want to know the price for both the 16gb and the 32 gb. and are the price will be accompanied with a contract to at&t? if yes, for how long and how much should i pay beside for the handset?

right, at first i'm not sure about the 199$ and 299$ price, because i thought those prices are only for existing iphone users...
Yeah, i want to buy iphone for use in Indonesia, but the first thing i want to know is how much it will cost in the Us, so I canpredict how expensive it is when it is launched in my country. is it possible that the price in Indonesia and New Zealand is the same, if not cheaper, with the prices in the US when they are finaly launched in those countries? Because i'm planning to go to NZ for my vacation, and who knows if they launched this thing when i'm there....

You have to click on the "Preview" button in the Dolphin toolbar to toggle previews. Also, make sure you enable them in "Configure Dolphin", as arojas said.
I have tried all options even the preview stuff but nothing.
I think you also have to install kdegraphics-strigi-analyzer.
I just reinstalled KDE and all the codes,now I get the thumbnails

Is it normal for my brand new macbook pro to have the fun running all the time and making noise?

There's a constant noise coming from the fan that I didn't have on my older macbook.

I suggest you STOP using that fan control program. At least the way you are using it.
The Fans (Not Fun) on any MBP run at 1900RPMs and yes All the Time. They are supposed to. You are trying to limit the fans to 1500RPM which it looks like one of them has stopped running because of this override you have placed on them.
If you think there is a Problem with the current Mac you have you have 14 days from date of purchase to return it for a full refund No Questions Asked. You can then buy another or something else.
No it is not normal to hear the fans when the system is at Idle, when you aren't doing anything on it. But once you start to Tax the system it gets hotter and the fans will then speed up to try and keep the system cool. They will speed up to a Max of 6000RPMs. As the heat builds and the fans spin faster yes you will hear them (actually you will hear the air moving out of the system more then the fans themselves).

Hello, i need to find out my serial from PSE 7.0.10 It came together with my PC in 2001 and the is only recovery CD, now i need complete new install W7 and i want not lose the key

Soe here it is again:
in 2011 i boght a PB PC with recovery posibility
II did register PSE a view minutes agoe, but it was not preferd to create also an account.
So i create also an account with the same email adress, but when i login there is no serial displayed
What can i do ??
Kind regards

If you Sign into Adobe.com with your AdobeID and password. Then use this link https://www.adobe.com/account/my-products-services.html and there is no PSE7 in you list the only other place the serial is is on the label that is affixed to original installation CD disk jacket. PSE 7 is 2008 software not as you wrote 2001. In 2001 PSE1 was released in 2011 PSe 9 or 10 would have been the current version. If you bought an old PC in 2011 and it had PSE7 on it unless the original owner and Adobe transferred the PSE licence to you. You were not in compliance with any Adobe licence agreement. PSE is under $100 currently around $60 on Amazon so get PSE 12.....

Publish for Approval - the new plug-in - doesn't work with Leopard

This aperture plug-in arrived for download just a few days before Leopard arrived. It worked great with Tiger. It doesn't work at all with Leopard. It appears that Leopard comes with a new version of Apache Server and it doesn't work with the Publish for Approval plugin. Does anyone know if and when an update will be released?

I'm not seeing the Java plugin in the plugins list in the System Details list.
Did you install the 32 bit Java version?
Do you see the Java plugin in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins"?

Intel Mac Mini wakes from sleep (for no reason) after installing leopard

My mac mini keeps waking after its been put to sleep (both by selecting sleep by hitting the power button or using the apple menu item.
This only happens now I've upgraded to leopard; with tiger, all was fine.
Any ideas what's going on? The iChat logging in noise blasting through my speakers at 1am last night gave me a bit of a fright!

This may be something like a driver, application or external device which is not fully Leopard compatible, or even a component of MacOS if you upgraded to Leopard rather than did a clean install. To start the process of troubleshooting, first download and install the full 10.5.1 update from http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1051update.html , even if you have already updated to 10.5.1 using software update. The full updater has been reported to resolve a number of minor issues.
Next, assuming that doesn't resolve it, start up your mini, put it to sleep and then disconnect everything. If it continues to wake unpredictably, the issue is with the mini itself, and you may be best to backup all your data and do an erase and install to resolve any residual issues caused in the upgrade. If, on the other hand, the system remains sleeping, it points to an external device being the culprit, in which case plug each one in, one at a time until you can create the unpredictable waking again. Whichever component was last plugged in, is the primary suspect!

Re installed leopard instead of snow leopard!

Help! I needed to change my mac book password and re-installed the OLD OSX dvd instead of snow leopard what can i do as I have no view of all my files etc...!!

Ally4749,
when you’d reïnstalled Leopard rather than changing your password, did you wipe clean your internal disk in that process? Try opening a Terminal window, then run the following command there:
ls -l /Users
Please include in your reply the full output from that command.

I own Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. I accidentally deleted the .cab file recently and need to download it again. How do I download a completely new

How do I download a completely new install file?

Anand,
I had already tried downloading a copy 3 times but it doesn't work. It says it can't find the .cab still. Do I need to completely delete the version I have and start over completely? The version I have works but I'm worried about it getting too far behind in terms of updates. What do you suggest.?
Thanks,
