Here's how to Install Omnipage Pro X in Snow Leopard

Many users have reported having trouble installing Omnipage Pro X in Snow Leopard (usually only those who have done a "clean install" of Snow Leopard, or try to install Onmipage Pro X on a brand new Snow Leopard system).  Those who have done an "upgrade" to Snow Leopard, and hence retain all their previous apps, typically find Ominpage Pro X continues to work.  But those trying to install it in a new system usually report that the installer will quit at some point with a non-specific error.
Nuance's official line is that Omnipage Pro X is not supported on Snow Leopard.  But Omnipage Pro X does work on Snow Leopard and can be installed - here's how:
Simply copy the entire installer CD across to a desktop folder, just using the Finder to drag and drop all the files from the CD.  Then run the installer from the desktop copy.
This works!  The installation runs all the way to the end and Omnipage starts up and works perfectly, once you enter your licence code.  I have no idea why this should work, when installing from the CD fails.
Try this method and see if it works for you!

pull all your drives so you just boot the DVD
If you have an ATI 5770 you cannot boot with less than 10.6.5
Ideally you would go through phone system and buy Lion, download and SAVE and create a Lion Installer media (DVD and flash memory are possible).
If you can't boot the DVD alone, let us know as gives a better idea.

  • Installing Omnipage Pro X in Snow Leopard - this worked for me

    I was having trouble installing Omnipage Pro X in Snow Leopard - the installer would get near the end and then just quit saying there was an error.  A search on the web revealed many people experienced this, with a few even getting in touch with Nuance who told them Omnipage Pro X is not supported on Snow Leopard.
    I was just about to give up when I had a "last throw of the dice" crazy idea.  I simply copied the entire installer CD across to a desktop folder, just using the Finder to drag and drop all the files from the CD.  I then ran the installer from the desktop copy.
    And it worked!  The installation ran all the way to the end and Omnipage starts up and works perfectly.  I have no idea why this should work, but installing from the CD fails.
    So if all else fails, try this method and see if it works for you!

    I went to the apple store and find that I would have to pay for the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component. You suggested there is a place to download it.
    If we don't have the component in our Utility folder (I don't) that means I must purchase?

  • How to install new reboot drive with Snow Leopard when new drive is unformatted and the only thing displayed is to choose to run the OS disc? It is impossible to choose disk utility as nothing happens.

    Mac Pro (2006) running Snow Leopard crashed. Geniuses were certain it was bootable HD. Installed new HD and pressed option key with Snow Leopard in optical drive. Chose "Mac OS Installation Disc." Disc runs once for a minute, stops, runs again, then nothing. It is impossible to choose disk utility to format the disc as absolutely nothing but a black screen is visible!

  • Aperture 3.3 for Lion, but... how to install 3.2.4 for Snow Leopard?

    New version Aperture (3.3) is not available on Snow Leopard (only Lion). Ok... but how to buy/reinstall Aperture 3.2.4 on my Mac of Snow Leopard?

    You still  might be able to buy a boxed version of Aperture 3 at a local Apple store, but that will be much more expensive than the download from the App Store.
    Since you cannot upgrade your machine to Lion, I'd stick with iPhoto, until you will invest into a new computer.  iPhoto libraries now can be opened by Aperture, so any work you invest into an iPhoto library will not be lost, once you transit.
    No, I dont' want iPhoto. I need Aperture 3. It was available in the Mac App Store for Snow Leopard for a good price. At this moment I feel just cheated. Many people have a problem now - they have bought and can not update / reinstall. I can not buy. It should not be so. I'm sorry for my english.

  • I have installed mountain lion on my macbook pro ,but it made my mac very slow. Would someone please tell me how  to uninstall this one and reinstall snow leopard?

    Hello,
    I have installed mountain lion on my macbook pro ,but it made my mac very slow. Would someone please tell me how  to uninstall this one and reinstall snow leopard? I tried to do it by my original CDs but macbook  pro didn't let me to do it.
    Thanks

    It would be easier to just fix whatever is making your machine slow.
    I wrote a little diagnostic program to help show what might be causing these problems. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etresoft.com/download/EtreCheck.zip, run it, and paste the results here.

  • How do I install mountain lion but keep snow leopard as a bootable os

    I'm caught in a vicious circle.
    I need mountain Lion to be able to use iCloud and to be compatible with a couple of apps on my iPad. However some of my major apps on my mac Pro won't work under Lion or mountain lion.
    SO the answer is to have both Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion on my Mac Pro.
    Does anyone know of any instructions on installing Mountain Lion onto one SSD, whilst leaving Snow Leopard on another, allowing me to boot from either.
    Also - any advice on the cleanest way of installing my apps under Mountain Lion (those that are compatible). I'm confused to how I can install my apps twice, especially if I have all ready registered Unser Snow Leopard.
    Thanks

    I'm assuming that you currently have an SSD with Snow Leopard on it, and another SSD with no operating system. Is that correct?
    What I would do is use the Snow Leopard DVDs to install a fresh copy of Snow Leopard on the SSD that currently has no operating system, and "migrate" your data and applications from the other SSD. (alternatively, you could use something like Carbon Copy Cloner to duplicate one SSD onto the other - but that's probably only an option if one SSD is completely blank or you're willing to erase it).
    Then upgrade to Mountain Lion on the original SSD.
    When you're done, hold down the option key when you start up to select which OS to use.
    For many applications, it won't matter which SSD they're on - you'll be able to run them from either system without worrying about where the app is installed (each will have it's own preferences, stored on the current startup drive). But some applications are more complex, and rely on additional files that are scattered around the Library folders on the startup drive. Since you migrated your applications and data, you should have everything that's needed on both systems, including license keys, etc. I did this for a little while with Quicken, and I actually left the Quicken app on the Lion drive - it worked just fine even though I started up from an external Snow Leopard drive (I skipped the migration step entirely, and reentered my Quicken license code when starting up from Snow Leopard).
    How successful this will be depends on exactly which applications you're using. Most of them will be OK, but if you're using something that has some esoteric copy-protection mechanism, you might run into a little bit of trouble. Consider upgrading the "new" Snow Leopard install to Mountain Lion, if that's the case, so you're original system SSD will remain Snow Leopard, with no changes.

  • I have a Macbook pro 2009 with Snow Leopard.  Which system can I install without running into complicated problems which I will not be able to solveby myself? (Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite?)

    I have a Macbook pro 2009 with Snow Leopard.  Which system can I install without running into complicated problems which I will not be able to solve by myself- a person with limited problem solving abilities. (Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite?)

    It will make it easier to help you w/ your problem to know the  size and RAM installed.
    "Yesterday I couldn't update the maps on my Garmin because it said the OS I had wouldn't work"
    What OS will your Garmin work with? Funny there was someone else that did that and upgraded to Yosemite and regretted it.
    I'd say Lion if your Garmin is compatible.
    Both Lion and Mountain Lion are downloadable from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion
    The OSs will get more resource hungry the higher you go.

  • I just upgraded my 2008 macbook pro to OS X Maverick from Snow Leopard but my computer is running a bit buggy and slow. How do I downgrade back down to snow leopard?

    I just upgraded my 2008 macbook pro to OS X Maverick from Snow Leopard but my computer is running a bit buggy and slow. How do I downgrade back down to snow leopard?

    You would reinstall 10.6 using your installation DVD.
    Out of curiosity, how much RAM do you have? Recent versions of OS X really shine with 4GB or more.

  • I was installing soundflower macbook pro mid 2011/Snow leopard Grey loading screen

    Hello i was installing soundflower for my macbook pro mid 2011/Snow leopard. However when finishing the installation for soundflower and click restart computer my mac now has a grey screen with a loading bar that doesn't finish. I already try safe mode and it doesn't work. Is there a way to disable sound flower installation?

    No. You use "C" to boot from the optical drive
    Hold down the Option key to select a different disk drive to boot from
    When it comes up with all the disk that have an operating system on them, select the one with the bootable clone on it

  • How does one un-install Lion and revert to Snow Leopard?

    Anyone know how to un-install Lion and revert to Snow Leopard?

    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard 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.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard. I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.

  • I installed OSX server 10.6 snow leopard on my IMAC, but still have choppy videos. can anyone tell me how to fix the problem

    I installed OSX server 10.6 snow leopard on my IMAC, but still have choppy videos. can anyone tell me how to fix the problem

    By your use of "still", did this problem exist before OS X Server was installed?  OS X Server itself has no particular linkages to video processing, beyond what OS X client provides.
    Some details on the configuration might be useful.  Are these videos you're having issues with stored locally in files, or are these videos received over the network and played?  If the videos are local, have you tried playing the videos from a different disk?  If the video files are remote, can you download the videos and play them as a test?
    What software are you using to play the videos?  QuickTime?  QuickTime X?  Does using VLC or another player work better?  There are some discussions of choppy videos around the forums, too.
