How do I re-install mail? I am using Snow Leopard 10.6.8

I have accidently deleted mail.app from looking through forums I have found out how to use PACIFIST to extract the mail.app from my install disk. Upon doing that I have downloaded the Combo Updater for my current version of Snow Leopard extracted the mail.app from there and selected update when prompted instead of replace. >>>Note I have selected replace when update didnt work>>>> however neither way of going about this work and I continue to get errors when i try and open mail.app Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
This is the original forum link that i referenced https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1302228?start=0&tstart=0

Thank you. I solved my problem by using OPEN DNS, which gave me instructions as follows:
Apple menu;
System Preferences;
Click Network;
Select 1st connection (that I simply deleted--127.something);
Click Advanced;
Select DNS tab;
Add the OPENDNS IP addresses using the + sign at bottom (208.67.220.220 and 208.67.222.222);
Click Apply.

We are having old home movies put on DVD's. How do we import them to MacBook Pro using Snow Leopard and iMovie 8.0.6. Can watch the video, but can't get it to import.

We are having old home movies put on DVD's. How do we import them to MacBook pro using Snow Leopard and iMovie 8.0.6? Can watch the movies on the laptop, but they will not import.

We took 3 video cassette 8mm that were recorded in the early 90's to a place that burned the videos onto 3 DVDs. When inserted to our Mac, the DVD player comes on to play the DVD. Opened Quicktime, but can find no way to import. Went to File>Open File>Sony_DVD_Recorder_Volume. Clicked on Sony_DVD-Recorder_Volume and it shows a file named VIDEO_TS. Clicked on that and 6 files showed VIDEO_TS.BUP, VTS_01-0.BUP, VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS-01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, VTS_01_3.VOB. Where is DVDxDV?

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.

How do I re-install "Mail" (v2.1) ?

How do I re-install "Mail" (v2.1) ?
My mail program stopped taking in mail (of any kind)
but I can send mail ..... and get to the internet with safari,
the app finally crashes after awhile of looking for mail.
I did the connection doctor and activity viewer thing.
Checked with my service provider and they say my mail is there ....
and was able to access my mail thru "webmail",
(a web based email checker that's a feature of our server)
so password and username stuff all works ......
maybe some pref is corrupted?
I can only think my next step is to re install "Mail".
How's that done?
17' PB 1.5GHz, 10.4.8 and latest security updates

problem solved!
using webmail and activity viewer
i saw where it was hanging ...
and went in, did a search, then deleted a few emails.
one was 6.8 MB, not all that huge but,
everything started working again.

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.

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.

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.

How do I remove Lion and go back to Snow Leopard OS?

How do I remove Lion and go back to Snow Leopard?

If you have the white upgrade disk (originally, you had Leopard and bought SL later), easy. I'm not sure if you have the grey disks (you bought the machine with SL).
If you have the white disk, the first thing you do is get a USB external HD. Format it to GUID with disk utility.
Insert the white SL disk and restart. Follow the instructions to install SL on the external disk.
Have a look here for a step by step tutorial for setting up the external HD: http://www.maciverse.com/installing-snow-leopard-onto-an-external-hard-drive.htm l
From here on in you have two choices:
1. You can run SL off the external disk and keep Lion and all your files/data on the internal disk.
This is the easiset thing to do. You can open files from your Internal Lion disk by navigating through to it in Finder when you're booted in to SL on your external disk. Practical if you have a desktop machine, maybe not if you have a laptop that you need to carry everywhere (you'd have carry the external HD with you all the time).
Any non-Lion only (i.e., not Safari, Preview, Terminal and Mail Lion upgrades) apps should also run off your Lion disk when you're booted into SL, but if you have any problems, just drag them from the Lion Apps folder to the SL apps folder.
2. Move everything over to the external disk if you plan to install SL back to your internal disk.
Start copying over all your apps and files manually by dragging them from the internal disk Apps and Folders to the external disk Apps and Folders. If you have Time Machine, you can also copy your files by navigating to Time Machine through the Finder rather than trying to use the Time machine interface.
You might spend some days doing this, but it's worth doing it manually. When you're done and sure you have everything, google 'Carbon Copy Cloner'. Download it (its free), and clone your external HD to your internal HD. SL restored!

How to get existing (Dlink) printer servers working with Snow Leopard

I have a new macbook. We have two existing Dlink 1260 print servers serving 3 Windows machines. Both connect to our network via CAT5, we have a Buffalo router and cable modem service. One print server has a HP inkjet ands the other has a Canon inkjet printer. I know the IP addresses (static) and TCP ports of the two print servers. Apple's support people told me they arent trained to help me on print servers.
How does one install these print servers in Snow Leopard 10.6?? I am out of ideas other than Geek Squad :>(

I would imagine you need to connect via IP, LPD, put the IP address of the server in for Address and the Port Name in for the Queue.
You will need Postscript drivers for the printers, based on info on the D-Link site.

Can I restore a time machine osx lion backup using snow leopard install DVD?

Hi.
I've been using osx lion but my hard drive died. Fortunately I have been making time machine backups. Since I downloaded lion from the app store I only have the snow leopard install disks.
I know there is an option to restore from a time machine backup using the snow leopard disk, but since the time machine backup is of a later operating system (lion) will that time machine restore work?
If it won't, can you recommend how to restore from my time machine backup?
Thanks.

Once the replacement hard drive is installed, boot from your original Snow Leopard Installation Disk. From there format the harddrive and install Snow Leopard and then download and install its Updates. Next, navigate to the Mac App Store and login using the Exact same Apple User ID that you did the first time you downloaded Lion. You will now be able to download and install the Lion OS for Free. Download and install the Lion Updates. Lastly, using Migration Assistant, migrate your Apps and Data from the Time Machine external hard drive to your internal Lion harddrive. This method should give you a very stable version of Lion on your internal harddrive complete with all your previous settings, Apps and Data.
Hope this helps

How do I remove Lion and go back to Snow Leopard?

I spent half a day downloading and installing Lion today.
All my Microsoft Office applications are now unusable. This is unacceptable!!! It is more important to be functional with my apps than to have a fancy new OS that doesn't allow me to work!!!
So, please, how do I uninstall/remove and go back to Snow Leopard?

Try doing it in a WIndows Safe mode - Restart computer and hit F8 key right after your see BIOS check and choose "Safe mode with networking"
Do the SFC /SCANNOW again.
If that does not work, whilst in safe mode, download Free Malwarebyte software from CNET's Download.com. Install, update virus definition then perform a full scan. Remove if it did find some viruses or trojans. Restart computer.
Back to regular windows, do the SFC /SCANNOW again.
If that doesnot work, check to see if your Hard drive has errors or bad sectors
GO START BUTTON /COMPUTER, right mouse click OS (C:) and choose "Properties"
Choose "Tools" tab and under error checking, click "Check Now".
Make sure "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" is checked and click start.
Restart windows will perform the above task to fix errors This may take hours depends on how big is your Hard Drive
Good Luck!!.

How do I delele all my contacts from my IPad 3. I use snow leopard so I can't use icloud

How do I delete all my contacts from my IPad 3. I use snow leopard so I can't use icloud. I just got my first IPad so I am new at this.
I believe I can use I tunes. I know how to sync my address book into the IPad but can't remember how to delete the ones that are there.

If you are syncing your iPad with your computer, one way to delete all your contacts might be to connect the iPad to the computer, then in iTunes select the iPad in the sidebar. Once you've done that, go to the Info tab. Uncheck the box for syncing Contacts, then in the lower right, hit Apply. All the Contacts on your iPad will be gone.
You haven't asked for solutions to use Snow Leopard with iCloud, but there are some solutions for Mail, Address Book and Calendar.
