    You need to purchase the upgrade disk (it is a DVD). Then just put it in and run the installer. When it was first released it was $29 USD, do not know if the price has changed or not.
    The usual precautions about backing up your data apply. In fact I would recommend either making a Disk Image of your current boot drive or using something like Carbon Copy Cloner to copy it to an external drive. I upgraded 5 machines from Leopard to Snow Leopard without any issues, but better to be safe than sorry.

  • How to buy Snow Leopard for education use?

    We are a college located in the UK. Our Media Department has recently purchased several new Macs which have come with the latest Mac OS X on them. They need to be able to run certain pieces of software which require Snow Leopard as the newer versions are not fit for purpose (e.g. Final Cut Pro). We would like to know how to purchase the necessary licenses from Apple. We already tried telephoning but were told that Snow Leopard is not available from the Education Store and we would have to purchase it through the regular Consumer Store, but it does not show up on the Consumer Store web site at all (http://store.apple.com/uk). We have checked on this forum but other similar topics only have US telephone numbers to call - we need a UK one.

    My best guess would be amazon or ebay, and it probably won't be cheap.
    If you get a new Mac, it may or may not run SL. We got a bunch of iMacs this summer model MC978LL/A - these are i3 based Macs that are only availble for schools, and they will run SL.  I have no idea if other new models will run SL.

  • How to get snow leopard 10.6 on black macbook?

    I have a 2008 black macbook that is stuck on 10.5.8. I tried to download things to update to yosemite however it needs to be on 10.6 to work. This is frustrating because I cannot download and use update browsers, final cut pro x or microsoft word packages. I downloaded snow leopard, but whenever I try to open it I get "This update requires Mac OS X version 10.6." which is what I am attempting to update to so I'm lost on that. How can I get snow leopard 10.6 on this early 2008 black macbook?

    You need to buy it on DVD.

  • Anyone Figured Out How to Get Snow Leopard Working on a Retina 15" ?

    Hi All,
    Has anyone figured out a way to get Snow Leopard to install and run stable on a Macbook Pro 15 Retina?
    Just like Lion, Mountain Lion is flaky, and just isn't as rock solid as Snow Leopard.
    Media, Finder, and a host of other system level attributes that were perfect in Snow Leopard are buggy in Mountain Lion.
    Examples: Finder is weird now, and 19 full length movies that played perfectly in Snow Leopard under iTunes and my iPhone were wiped from my iPhone and deemed "not compabitle" under Mountain Lion.
    As I posted when Lion came out, sometimes different is not better, it's just different. I now wish I hadn't sold my '09 Macbook Pro 17 to buy my Retina 15.
    The big obstacle, of course is the fact that the Snow Leopard install doesn't have the correct drivers for video and other subsystems for my new Retina 15.
    So, anyone figured out a work around?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    You have got to be kidding if you think Windows 2000 was the most stable and bug free. And it quickly aged itself out of business and you could not connect any peripherals that appeared 2 years after its release. I think Windows 7 is far more stable and my second choice would be Windows XP.
    Mountain Lion is running just fine on my late 2011 MPB and running fine on my 2 friends who have the rMBP. And they like to rub it in that they both have the rMBP.
    And most people who rate such things claim Tiger was the most stable. You should have seen all the threads here with complaints about SL when it was released.

  • Menu bar disappears in Snow Leopard for Mac

    The Menu Bar on my iMac disappears when I open Firefox 36.0.1. If I move the Firefox window and click on the top of the screen the Finder Menu Bar returns but it is annoying to have to do this. The menu bar for Firefox does not appear.
    I have removed the relevant plist file, and also done a force quit, as suggested by various sources on the web. I re-installed Firefox. I also used Diskwarrior on the hard drive. The system version is 10.6.8. Any help would be appreciated.

  • How to get a refund for Verizon services I did not ask for?

    I just got a piece of mail about "Total Mobile Protection" . $11 per month on one of my 4 lines.  I never asked for this.  I called Verizon and they said, sorry cant help.   You signed the user agreement at the store!  Wow!  No manager, no escalation path.  They turned it off but how do I get my $18 back?   Nothing but headaches so far with Verizon.  3 of 4 lines required support calls to transfer the lines, and now this.

    I was billed prorated 8$ in November and $11 for December.  I just got the paper mail about "total mobile protection", yesterday and called immediately.  I just called billing support again today and she did credit just $11, (but not the $8.  First she was going to credit the $8 but not the $11) as she wasn't able to prove did or did not agree to this charge. The Verizon rep also asked me why i just got the mail about "total mobile protection" yesterday! How would I know why Verizion waited over a month to send it?  So i guess the default is the customer is wrong.  I don't care about the $ that much but don't like the idea of random charges that can't be refunded. 
    After having to call support 7 times (3 provisioning and 2 different billing issues) and visit the store to fix Verizon mistakes, and Verizon basically telling me I am lying, we are not off to a good start on this new contract. 

  • How to get contacts in my Mac Book Pro (and not only on iCloud)

    Hello. God Icould for contacts, works well between Mac Book pro (MBP) and Ipad .. but on the MBP I have only the "iCould" contacts and not the "on My Mac" contacts.
    So when I connect my blackberry to grab Mac contacts, none are transfered as the balckberry seems to locate only the contacts on the Mac Book (not the ones on iCloud).
    Thanks a LOT if you have any tip

    Go to users and groups and choose only your iCloud Contacts to display.
    Ensure that nothing is typed in the search field.
    Click to select the first contact and shift-click the last to select them all.
    Drag the list of contacts to your desktop.
    Make sure your On My Mac account is your default account (preferences > general).
    Select All On My Mac contacts from users and groups.
    Drag the file you previously dragged to your desktop back onto Address Book.
    You might want to back up all your contacts before you begin.
    Select All contacts in users and groups
    Click to select the first contact and shift-click the last to select them all.
    Drag the list of contacts to your desktop.

  • How do I get Snow Leopard?

    How do I get Snow Leopard for my Mac Mini?

    Hello, 10.6 is Snow Leopard.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.
    Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE.

  • Replaced my hard drive and can't get snow leopard back...

    I replaced my hard drive and reinstalled the operating system using my "Leopard" install CD.  But I had purchased "Snow Leopard" and now have no idea how to get "Snow Leopard" back.  Itunes won't work for some reason...everything else is fine.  I do have my time machine...but I had so much junk on their I don't want to just restore it...  I want a fresh computer with what I had purchased..."Snow Leopard"...so that I can maybe upgrade to Mountain Lion.
    Can someone help?

    You need to reload it from the DVD you used to install it. If you've lost that, the online Apple Store sells them.

  • How to install Snow Leopard on Macbook Pro? keep getting msg- cannot install Internal HD is used for Time Machine- this was reset to external HD and still get msg?

    How to install Snow Leopard on Macbook Pro? keep getting msg- cannot install Internal HD is used for Time Machine- this was reset to external HD and still get msg?

    At some point, your internal HD was selected for use as Time Machine backups, and a Backups.backupdb folder was created at the top level.   So OSX thinks you're trying to install it on the same drive as your backups.
    Open your internal HD with the Finder (you won't find it via a Spotlight or Finder search) and delete that folder.
