How to Bootcamp on a dual leopard/snow leopard partition

Is it possible to install Win7 on a Hardrive that already has a dual booting mac set-up. Currently the Hard Drive has leopard and snow leopard on it. Bootcamp states that I must only have one partition for it to proceed.

Thanks Jeff. I'm not receiving an activation count error message unless that's part of what "Error 6" means. I had reviewed the Mac OS 10 "know issues" page but didn't find a resolution to my problem there. It states that applications in CS2 and before require rosetta to run but it doesn't say that CS4 requires rosetta to install (but it seems that it does).
What I'm seeing is the error "Licensing for this product has stopped working" on my disk 2 after copying the Adobe applications folder from disk 1 to disk 2.
I worked my way through all the steps on the page: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/error-licensing-stopped-mac-os.html but that didn't fix the problem.
So, it seems like the only option left is to erase a partition on my macbook pro, install snow leopard, install CS4, and then upgrade to lion. Ouch! Or buy a copy of CS-current. Double-ouch!
If you know of any other options I'd greatly appreciate your direction.

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.

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.

Can I dual boot snow leopard and mountain lion if I've installed boot camp on my drive

Can I dual boot snow leopard and mountain lion if I've installed boot camp on my drive

Yes as I said before. If your model Mac came with Snow Leopard and you are now running Mt Lion and have Windows installed in a Boot Camp Partition all you have to do is make the Mt Lion partition smaller, take the free space and make it another Mac partition and you should be able to install Snow Leopard into that partition.
I have Snow Leopard, Lion and Mt Lion installed on my MBP. No Windows in a Boot Camp partition because I run Windows XP in a Virtual Machine on both Lion and Mt Lion.

Can I erase the boot camp partition and dual boot snow leopard and mountain lion instead

Please don't double post. Look at your other thread.
If you want to get rid of Windows and the BC partition use the Boot Camp assistant program to remove the Win/BC partition. Don't do it manually with Disk Utility Use the BC A program.

How can I install Mac OS X Snow Leopard on Mac OS X Tiger?

Hello. Can someone tell me how I can install Mac OS X Snow Leopard on Mac OS X Tiger? I have the disk, but when I open the installer, I get a message saying that Snow Leopard could not be installed on my computer and it could only be installed on a Intel-Based Mac. This is a PowerPC Mac, so that makes sense.
So, I'm trying to ask how to make my Mac an Intel-Based Mac so I could install Snow Leopard. Or if I can't do that, I need to know how to install Snow Leopard some other way. Please help.

Just an FYI, the Mac App Store was introduced with Mac OS X 10.6.6. However the rest of what you say is accurate.
10.6.8 is required if you want to upgrade certain Macs beyond 10.7.5 without having to reformat the drive you are installing the operating system on and without having to install some version of 10.7 first.
One can actually install 10.7 or later if you maintain an original copy of the full installer of the operating system in question for your personal use without having to have the prerequisite operating system installed, if the hardware supported it. But that's a discussion for another forum.
For HFTaylor,
Consider buying a used or refurbished Mac with an Intel CPU depending on your needs. Read this tip about the migration of data from PowerPC to Intel before proceeding:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295
and see this tip about used and refurbished Macs*:

Anyone using a mini as a Leopard-Snow Leopard dual boot?

I have Leopard (10.5.8) and Snow Leopard (10.6.4) installed on my mini for dual booting, and when I reboot from Snow Leopard into Leopard, the video card output is completely distorted. I have to restart a second time in Leopard to resolve this.
Anyone else using a Leopard-Snow Leopard mini and are you having/not having display problems?
Note this might be specific to Snow Leopard 10.6.4.

A strange thing happened. When using Snow Leopard, I opened the desktop folder for the Leopard volume in icon view and moved some of the icons around.
Then when I rebooted into Leopard the display problem didn't happen (although there was still some weirdness with the blue screen being chopped up during bootup). I found all the icons on my Leopard desktop were de-arranged. I started manually rearranging them and then did "Clean Up Selection" on some, and the display problem suddenly occurred.
So this is looking like it might be something to do with the DS_Store file. My theory:
1. Snow Leopard does something to the video ROM that either:
— A. requires some new DS_Store format, or
— B. is just buggy with certain complex DS_Store data (note that I have ~100 icons on the Leopard desktop, carefully arranged and colored)
2. When I rearranged the icons in Snow Leopard, this either:
— A. wrote a Snow Leopard-style DS_Store file for the Leopard desktop, or
— B. just wrote a simpler DS_Store file that didn't have the problem complex data
3. Then back in Leopard when I fiddled with the icons, this wrote a new DS_Store file (either older Leopard format, or just more complex)
4. The video card was still in "Snow Leopard mode" at this point as I hadn't rebooted Leopard a second time, so the desktop display went distorted as soon as the new DS_Store file went into effect.
5. For some reason Leopard will write over the bad/new settings Snow Leopard writes to the video ROM, but only on the second restart.

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?

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 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 much is it to upgrade form Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and can it be done in one hit?

How much is it to upgrade form Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and can it be done in one hit?

Run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
You should now see the App Store icon, and you now need to set up your account:

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:

HELP! How do I remove Lion and reinstall Snow Leopard and my files

HELP! How do I remove Lion and reinstall Snow Leopard & my files BUT I just discovered my Apple Time Capsule which was using Time Machine DIED
I had to go to MacMall and have the Time Capsule data transfered to a new BAK drive($300+$300)
(The Apple Store sent me there as they said they do not do data transfer)
Now what do I do?
? ? One Senior advisor said that I will have to drag and drop the data file or files? from the Time Capsule BAK drive back to my iMAC but will that include all the Snow Leopard operating system ?
? ? Another senior advisor said I will have to wipe my hard drive then install Snow Leopard then "drag and drop", ? ??
All my business leases, database, spreadsheets. letters, mail merge files, and so on are not available with Lion -
I AM VERY ANGRY AS I NEVER SAW THAT WRITTEN ANYWHERE !!!
I am seriously confused and I AM SCARED TO MAKE A MISTAKE-HELP !!
WHAT DO I DO ? AND IN WHAT ORDER? PLEASE HELP!

Your post is confusing to read too.
It sounds like you still have your files on your Mac. Why do you want to back track to Snow Leopard on your Mac? Why can't you read your files from your Mac? If your files are on your Mac, why are you taking them off your broken Time Capsule? You don't have to install Snow Leopard to transfer your files back to your Mac. Maybe step back a bit and explain your situation a little better with details. For instance, what's a BAK drive? Suggest you explain what you are trying to do?
Before you do anything, create a backup of your Mac to another disk drive.. suggest you use Carbon Copy Cloner to make another copy of your Mac.

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.

A Mac OS 10.6 retail DVD can be obtained for only $20. Of course that depends on where you live, but if available to you, it is a reasonable price, and will solve your current problem.

How do I downgrade from Lion to Snow Leopard without losing iWork 09? I upgraded my MBP from 10.5 (originally 10.4) to 10.6, then again to 10.7. Should I go back to 10.4, 10.5 or just to 10.6?

How do I downgrade from Lion to Snow Leopard without losing iWork 09? I upgraded my MBP from 10.5 (originally 10.4) to 10.6, then again to 10.7. Should I go back to 10.4, 10.5 or just to 10.6? I don't remember which system included iWork 09 and don't want to lose it. Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the information! My sister gave me the MBP for my daughter with Leopard installed. I purchased Snow Leopard and installed it, then my daughter purchased Lion. So I do have all the installers. If iWork wasn't included with any of those, I guess my sister purchased it while running Leopard. I'll have to contact her. Thanks again.
