  • HT1338 How to view iphoto library (version 9) in snow leopard

    Hi
    I recently installed OSX Lion and then upgraded iphoto to the latest update.
    My Macbook became so slow since the upgrade to Lion I backed up my iPhoto library and did a refresh install of Snow Leopard.
    My Macbook works quickly again now but when I dragged my iPhoto library into the Pictures folder and then opened iPhoto I get a message saying my library has had changes to it and now I must install the latest version of iPhoto.  I don't mind this but the App Store says I need Lion to get the newest version on iPhoto.
    I don't want to install Lion because it makes my Macbook too slow.
    Any ideas how I can get to see all my photos in my iPhoto library?  I don't care what version of iPhoto I use.  I just don't want to lose my photos or upgrade to Lion.
    Help!!
    Thanks.
    Jon

    Thanks for your quick response.
    My back up was: I copied the iPhoto Library icon from the Pictures folder located on my hard drive.
    All I want to do is copy all the events back into iPhoto.  I opened the Package Content but all I see is folders labelled with numbers, years, months, days etc.  That will be an absolute nightmare to re organise!
    Is there a way to convert my library back to what it was?
    Thanks
    Jon

  • How does one update to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard?

    My friend has Snow Leopard and wants to up date to Mountain Lion, how is it possible for her?

    See Here  >  Upgrade to Mountain Lion
    Would Also Recommend that you do a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive Before attempting any Major Upgrade...
    By far the easiest way to make a Backup, is to use something like
    SuperDuper  http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
    or CCC  http://www.bombich.com/
    That way, should anything untoward happen during the Upgrade...
    You will NOT LOSE ANYTHING.
    (Get an EHD that is at least equal to your current Drive...)
    Also, Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using...

  • How do you update iStat Pro to the Snow Leopard version?

    Went from 10.5.8 to 10.6.1 - do i need to do anything to iStat Pro?
    Thanks.

    Only with iStatMenus or MenuMeters. You will need to download the updates for them. iStat Pro is a widget so it still works with Snow.

  • HT1338 How do I update to 10.6.8 from 10.5.8 so I can install the new iTunes?

    I'm trying to use my new iPod but it requires a newer version of iTunes. I downloaded the newer version but it now needs a newer version of the OS. My update tells me it is up to date. Do I have to buy the 10.6 version??

    First, check that your machine is suitable for Snow Leopard.   It needs to be a Mac computer with an Intel processor.Double check by reading the specs.
    Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard -Read the Technical Specifications
    To buy the DVD, if you are from the USA go to http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard.
    In Europe or otherwise substitute your national code in place of /us above.
    In the UK see … Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (UK)
    Before you start upgrading, back up your files.
    Once you have upgraded to Snow Leopard, if your upgrade took you to 10.6.3 you will need to apply the Combo updater.   Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1  and follow with a software update to pick up the most recent security updates.
    To upgrade past Snow Leopard.   For Mountain Lion, the minimum specs are as follows ... technical specification

  • Migration assistant update for Mac OS X Snow Leopard

    Hello -- I downloaded SNOW LEOPARD successfully that past week. I did a software update as well afterwards.
    Now in preparation for upgrading to LION OS X, I read an article that mentions one must make sure to have the MIGRATION ASSISTANT UPDATE for Mac OS X Snow Leopard installed. I am unsure if this was included in the software updates I performed. One would assume it would be there. BUT there is not a detailed listing of what these combination updates include. HOW can I tell if I have the desired version required to continue on to LION?
    Another suggestion was for one to perform FIRST AID on the start up disk. It only says to select your Mac HD and then to "verify" ..... do they mean to VERIFY DISK or VERIFY DISK PERMISSIONS. I have on occasion performed a REPAIR DISK PERMISSIONS but not the others mentioned. I do not know what the difference is?
    THANK YOU

    I have the same console mesages repeating ad-nasium as you do. What is interesting is I do have the StartuoItems directory but it is empty. The problem I have is that the log-in window comes up as normal, but I can not type in it for about 5-8 seconds. This has started after the latest updates which you mention. Don't know if this issue is related or not. Have deleted the loginwindows and loginitems preferences to no effect.

  • Update Version 10.6 to Snow Leopard.

    I am trying to update Version 10.6 to Snow Leopard. I keep getting this error messages 'The Software Update Server (192.168.16.6) is not responding.’

    I have tried changing the IP address based on another suggestion to a similar problem but I keep getting the same messages with the same IP address. Would you have an idea of how I can change the IP or which address would enable me to download?

  • I just updated to Mac OS X Snow Leopard, what is next if I want to get current in my operating system?

    I just updated to Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3, what do I need to do now to get up to tyhe latest operating system?

    You might want to make sure your iMac will run comfortably with Mountain Lion.
    What model iMac do you have?  (e.g. early 2008, early 2011, etc.).
    How much RAM memory is installed in your iMac?  I wouldn't advise going to Mountain Lion if you've got less than 4GB of RAM....Mountain Lion is pretty memory-hungry.

  • How do you erase mountain lion to install snow leopard?

    Hi, My mother now has a new to her late 09 mini that originally shipped with snow leopard. When she bought it it came with mountain lion preinstalled from a private seller. We were thinking that to be on the safe side that it might be better to erase and install what's on it just to be sure it is secure. I tried to erase and install snow leopard from a disk but it says that the installer is not compatible with this version of osx(mountain lion). Question: How do I erase mountain lion and install snow leopard?
    I've read here that there is possibly a built in recovery disk that I can use to erase and reinstall mountain lion. Q: Is there a built in recovery disk available in my situation? and if so should I use it or be even safer by installing snow leopard instead?
    Thank you,

    I think I found the answer (from sl install disk use disk utility to erase then install sl). Thanks for looking.

  • How can I create a disk image of snow leopard installer disk from my Imac which runs it?

    how can I create a disk image of snow leopard installer disk from my Imac which runs it? It came without DVD installer, and I want to make a copy of it's OS installer but can't find out how.

    You need to have the disc in order to create disk image of snow leopard installer disc. What did your machine ship with? If something later than SL, then why? If earlier, then you can buy the SL installer disc and make the disk image.

  • In how many different computers can I install my snow leopard?

    In how many different computers can I install my snow leopard?
    The one that came when I bought my Macbook Pro.

    Kappy, I believe that he's asking about Snow Leopard, not Lion. Your answer would be correct in reference to Lion purchased from the Mac App Store, but not Lion shipped as original OS on a new Mac.
    derojas, assuming you have a standard OEM, it-came-with-the-computer Snow Leopard installer, you are licensed to use it only on that one computer. You are not licensed to install it on any others. Many OEM discs can install only on the specific hardware model with which they shipped, anyway.
    If you have a standard retail installer, it's technically possible to install it on any Mac capable of running Snow Leopard. However, again, the license grants you the freedom to install it on only one Mac at a time (i.e. you'd have to delete it from one Mac before you could install it on another).
    There are family packs and other multi-licensing arrangements that permit the owner to install Snow Leopard on more than one Mac. You need to check the license to find out how many and what other restrictions might apply.

    Buy a copy of the Snow Leopard Disc from Apple (or eBay or such). That's the only way. It does not come as a download.
