How can I know if I have Snow Leopard on my mac?

How can I find out if I have Snow Leopard on my mac?

Click on the black apple in the upper left hand corner of your screen
Drag the cursor down to 'About this Mac' and click it
That should bring up a pane that has information about your Mac
If under Mac OS X, you see version 10.6.x, where x = 0 through 8, then you are running Snow Leopard
Why do you need to know?

Trying to do a transfer of purchase from my iPhone into iTunes and I don't have the correct software. How do i knowwhat I have?

The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

You do, since "Snow Leopard" is the code for 10.6. If you had 10.7, you'd have Lion. 10.5 was Leopard.

Mail application is still there. All of my emails and folders are gone since iCloud. How can I get them back using Snow Leopard? Or can I? Do I have to wait for Mountain Lion?

Mail application is still there. All of my emails and folders are gone since iCloud. How can I get them back using Snow Leopard? Or can I? Do I have to wait for Mountain Lion?

I need to check a few other things...
Click on 'Mail' in the upper left corner next to the Apple ()
Click Preferences
Click the 'Accounts' tab
Make sure your iCloud account is highlighted in the column on the left.
In the account information section what does it say next to:
Incoming Mail Server?
Outgoing Mail Server?
Also, did you use MobileMe before the iCloud?

How can i get xcode for osx snow leopard?

how can i get xcode for osx snow leopard?

I'm an experienced software developer (C, C++, Lisp, Linux, Unix, etc) but have never done any Mac development, and wanted to try some stuff on my iMac at home, but I have Snow Leopard and most of the turtorials I looked at said the first thing I had to do was download XCode and the first thing that happened when I tried to do that was it said I had to upgrade to Lion.
My iMac is running SnowLeopard. I don't have any big reason to stay at SnowLeopard, but from stuff I've seen in the forums I can't see any big reason to upgrade to Lion. I might eventually want to do development for IOS on an iphone or iPad, but for now I just want to do a simple tutorial app for my iMac.
I found the downloads search page, and it looks like there's two versions of Xcode 3.2.7 which has a release date of Sep 2011, and 3.2 with a release date of Jan 2012.
Which one should I download? And if I download one of these will it be a problem if I do upgrade to Lion in a few months?

How can I tell where the OS (Snow Leopard) is? I'm not sure if it is on the SSD or the regular HD.

How can I tell where the OS (Snow Leopard) is? I’m not sure if it is on the SSD or the regular HD. I just had a rough weekend trying to back things up with Time Machine and I think the OS was copied to the regular HD, or could be in two places? How do I find where the OS is? If it is on the regular drive I want to put it on the SSD.
Thank you very much!

Some recent systems don't observe that convention - not sure at the moment about Snow Leopard but I have a feeling it doesn't.
Copy the following into the AppleScript Editor (in Applications/Utilities)
set dsk to the path to startup disk as string
display dialog dsk
click the 'run' button.

You'll be given the option to change the target after the download is complete and before the actual installation begins. The process is otherwise the same as normal.

How can I upgrade from OS X Snow Leopard to OS X Lion?

How can I upgrade from OS X Snow Leopard to OS X Lion?

Well Mt Lion is the latest, but if your machine can't do 10.8, then call Apple via phone and order 10.7
However you really need to do your homework first, as a lot of software and drivers could stop in 10.7, no Rosetta like in 10.6, could cost you plenty.
Things to consider before upgrading OS X

My email account and facebook accounts have been compromised, how can I know if I have malware of a keylogger?

About 2 weeks ago my Yahoo email account and AIM email account had been compromised and the passwords changed. From what I was told/researched at the time, changing my passwords to more secure passwords was the best option.
I changed my passwords for the two accounts that had been compromised, and I even when as far to change my passwords for everything that I used frequently, and accounts that were tied to the email accounts, facebook, twitter, etc.
This morning at 12:28am (EST) my facebook was accessed by somebody other than me and my password changed. When I noticed this my first thought was to check to see if my email that I log in with was compromised. It had also underwent a password change.
Obviously the next thing I did was to try and change my passwords.
I had my AIM email send a change password form to my Yahoo email (which hasn't been tampered with this time) I followed the form and input a new password. After that, it brought me to a page where I was to enter the new password and sign in. When I input the new password it yet again said, "incorrect password or username". After I tried the new password a few more times it finally brought me to a screen saying basically that my account was locked due to suspicious activity and I still haven't been able to try and log in again.
I also can't access my Facebook account at all. I obviously can't send a new password to my email because I can't access it. Whenever I tried to send my info to an alternate email it wants me to answer a security question, and for some reason the answer I enter, which should be the correct answer, is said to be false.
Facebook offers another option of recovering your account by getting 3 friends to be sent security codes, I tried this method but it would never let me complete it because I locked my account. I locked my account after figuring out it was being tampered with. Whenever I try to get the security codes sent to 3 friends it ultimately leads me to a screen saying my account is locked and I need to sign in to unlock it, which is some major bull considering if I could log in I wouldn't need to be going through the process to begin with!
One friend has told me somebody maybe using some file to track my moves, a keytracker?
Is there anyway I can confirm that?
How can I get rid of it, how can I protect myself?
I've been using the internet almost daily since I was 8 years old, I'm now 20, this is the first of these kinds of problems I've ever had.
Protip: I run Mac OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.

Whatever is going on, it's extremely unlikely to be malware of any kind. See my Mac Malware Guide.
As to what is going on, it's hard to say, but if someone is targeting you specifically, it's not that hard for an experienced person to do. It may not even require actual hacking... see the story of Matt Honan's hacking:
http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/08/apple-amazon-mat-honan-hacking/
In short, his attacker managed to get access to Mr. Honan's Amazon account, which gave him access to the last 4 digits of Mr. Honan's credit card that was on file. That credit card was also on file with Apple, and those 4 digits were used to give him access to Mr. Honan's Apple ID. And from there all went to h***. No hacking required, just talking to folks on the phone and convincing them to do what the hacker wanted.
In addition, note that some kinds of accounts provide you with a way to give access to another person. For example, GMail provides a way to add someone else's account, giving them access to your e-mail. Hackers have been known to use such features to leave themselves hidden back doors, so they can keep getting in after you have changed the password. I don't know whether AIM or Yahoo have such features, but it's possible.
Finally, note that there are always possible issues with weaknesses in the servers. For example, right now, someone's selling an exploit kit for Yahoo mail. I don't know whether the vulnerability it relies on has been patched or not, but if it hasn't been, your attacker may be using that method to get access.
In any case, you need to address these issues with AIM, Yahoo and Facebook.

How can I know if I have the Latest Version of LiveType?

Warning, this falls into the "I'm stupid so this is a stupid question" category.
How can I check to see if I have the latest version of LiveType?
Currently I have version 2.1
It came with my Final Cut Express -- my FCE version reads 3.5.1
I tried software update, I tried the LT and FCE menus. Any ideas?
Thanks.

You have the latest version of LiveType; the information here will be updated shortly after any future updates.

How can i reinstall os one Imac Snow leopard 10,6,4

i have to reinstall my i-mac, snow leopard OS. the problem i have is that the mac dont takes the install cd, no matter what i try. the only thing what happens is that i can see the apple and i can hear that its working, but the cd becomes throw out after some seconds. im not able to start it at all, no matter what i do. after i let run the hardware-test i get the message that nothing is wrong, but still i can not install or start the mac. i have no idea what i should do or how i should do it. it was now 2 times in a service, the only thing i was told that everything is ok and i only have to reinstall it....i try my best, but it still will not do anything!! also the company info-care norge which has the mac-service tells me only to install all new and that it has nothing to do with my guaranty.

Report the company to AppleCare directly:
http://www.apple.com/contact/phone_contacts.html
Obviously they don't know some basic troubleshooting steps and need to either lose their service provider agreement or get better training.
Some of those basic steps are to:
1. Determine if your machine is too new to use the 10.6.3 retail, and then determine if you were using the prebundled disc that came with your Mac. Look at your Mac's serial number. The 5 alphanumeric characters that start it tell you how new it is.
xx013 or greater to xx111 can't use anything other than the prebundled discs.
xx935 to xx952 and xx001 to xx012 can use the 10.6.3 retail and prebundled discs that came with the Mac.
xx602 to xx934 can use any Snow Leopard retail and the prebundled discs, as long as 1 GB of RAM or more is installed.
xx601 and less can't use Snow Leopard at all.
Retail discs must look like * and not say Upgrade Dropin, or OEM.
x can be any letter or number.
2. Make sure the Mac is less than 4 years old. If it is more than 4 years old, to check if the PRAM battery is aging.
3. Determine if any of their discs that meet qualifications of #1 work. If they do, then ask Apple ship you replacement discs. If they don't, they should test an external optical bootable DVD drive to see if that works. And if that doesn't work to determine if the machine is stuck in a firmware upgrade loop, or firmware password reset loop, or if the hard drive is dying, or if one of your connected peripherals might not be compatible with the installer.

How can I downgrade from Lion to Snow Leopard?

Hello.
Yesterday, I upgraded my Mac to Mac OS X (10.7 Lion) from 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. However, I wish to downgrade.
Obviously, I would like to not lose any data at all. However, I have never downgraded before.
I still have the Snow Leopard installation disk that came with my Mac.
How should I do this? I was thinking it would be easiest to simply head on over to an Apple Store...
I did some research (aka Googling), and I read up on the subject quite a bit.
If I simply put in the disk, will I be able to downgrade from Lion to Snow Leopard as easily as the upgrade was?
Also, I have heard about holding down the "C" button to do this... how exactly?
I have never backed up my Mac, nor used Time Machine.
Also, is it possible to install Snow Leopard on a separate disk, and set it up so that I can switch between them on command?
Will all of my preferences be saved, or does this wipe everything, not just the system and libraries folders?
I realize that I have a lot of questions, and therefore I appreciate everyone's help in advance. Thanks again.
Sincerely, Zach

Backup your files.
Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
1. Insert Snow Leopard Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
Erase Drive
1. Boot from your OS X 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. Upon completion quit DU and return to installer. Install Snow Leopard. Restore your files after the installation has completed.
