No I did'nt pay close attention to your ID line (DUH) power pc will not support leopard, which means it won't support SL.

  • Problem in Formatting using Mac OS X Snow Leopard DVD (FULL)

    Hi all
    I've just bought a Mac OS X Snow Leopard DVD -Full- (not upgrade)
    When I boot from the installation DVD nd then
    after few minutes the screen turns to black nd I can't do anything!! (MacBook Pro 2009)
    I tried using my iMac nd the installation DVD works smooth nd fine!
    I don't know why MBP is not processing the installation steps nd the screen suddenly turns to black!
    Waiting ...
    Thanks

    Make sure your MacBook pro is not too new for the disk in question.
    Find the serial number for the MacBook Pro, and look at the three characters labelled ABC below, and tell us the numbers they are represented by:
    xxABCxxxx
    Don't give us the full serial number. The x can be any letter or number.
    Then tell us the 10.6 version labelled in fine print on the DVD.
    That will tell us if the Mac is too new for your Snow Leopard Disc, and you need to use the original MacBook Pro discs that came with your Mac to install 10.6.

  • Currently have Mac OS X 10.5.8. But my disc drive won't read 10.6.3 Snow Leopard dvd.

    I just wiped my Mac OS X 10.5.8. Reinstalled everything with the original Mac OS X software discs I got with the computer in 2008. No probems and disc drive worked just fine. Updated until I reached 10.5.8. Now I am trying to update to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. (I had it installed on this computer before and I had to order the dvd.) Now I am trying to install it for the second time on the same system. It spins for about 20 seconds once injected, until it ejects the disc. No pop ups or visual recognition of the disc shows up on the screen. Am I missing a part fo the 10.5.8 upgrade? Was the disc a one time only download? Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions?

    I am not sure why they sent you a grey DVD.
    I would attempt a clean install by using the correct Snow Leopard DVD to erase your hard disk before installing and then not importing anything during the install process.
    Contact the Apple office where you bought your DVD if it does not work.
    This issue should be on the Snow Leopard forum and not here.

  • Mac os X wont boot up, im running snow leopard.

    My 27 inch iMac wont boot, i am runnign snow leopard. I just see the apple sign and the cycle spinning meaning its still loading. I cant use disk utility because leopard install disc wont boot, also i cant run any commands in single user mode, doing /sbin/fsck -fy does nothing, i dont see a # sign or anything, whatever i type it doesnt matter whenever i hit return the cursor just goes to the line below.

    Your Leopard discs are useless, since this machine shipped with Snow Leopard. Boot the machine with the disc that came with it and run Disk Utility from there. Since you say it's new, call AppleCare and let them fix things if you're unable to start it up.

  • Text messages in Safari are garbled on Mac Pro after Snow Leopard install

    When reading or composing my Yahoo mail text messages in Safari on my Mac Pro after Snow Leopard, the wording is very garbled. Looks like o's, s's, c's, some caps, with lots of spaces intermixed. Messages look ok on Firefox, on same machine. New messages and reading sent messages look ok on my MacBook and MB Air. When cutting and pasting into something else (like this window), the text looks fine. I can compose and send messages that look garbled, but the right words and letters go out. HTML messages look ok. Any clues for solution?

    I have this happening in bunch of different HTML pages. Here's a screenshot of the same page in Safari (Version 4.0.3 (6531.9)) and Mac OS X 1.6.1 side by side with Camino:
    https://dl.getdropbox.com/u/362958/miscwebimages/Screen%20shot%202009-09-22%20at%2018.35.47.png
    Camino renders the page correctly. Safari is really unusable with this problem. Tried switching to and from 64-bit mode in Safari, didn't help either.

  • Can the new Mac Mini boot Snow Leopard from an external hard drive?

    I currently boot my 2009 Mac Mini from a FW800 external drive with 10.6.8. If I just plug my external drive into a new 2011 Mac Mini, will it boot into Snow Leopard if I set it as the startup disk or will I get a kernel panic?

    I bought a 2011 Mac Mini, which came with Lion installed. I thought maybe I could repartition it and have a Snow Leopard partition. So I repartitioned it (500gb split into two 250gb partitions). I named the new partition "SnowLeopard" just to make it easy for me to tell the difference.
    I attached the external DVD and put in a Snow Leopard installer disc, holding down the C key so it would boot and install from that, but it just spun for awhile. Doesn't appear to work.
    Then I read somewhere else that someone had managed to clone a copy of Snow Leopard onto an external drive and boot from that. In their situation they were talking about a MacBook, but the principle seemed sane.
    So I rebooted, holding down the T key to put the Mac Mini into Target hard disk mode, and attached it via Firewire to another MacMini (circa 2008 or so, not sure of year, but it was upgraded last year to Snow Leopard and has been upgraded along and along). Then I used Carbon Copy Cloner to copy Snow Leopard (that is, the entire hard disk-- System and all applications and data) to my newer Mac Mini's "snow leopard" partition.
    For yucks, when it was done cloning, I restarted the older Mac Mini, and had it boot from the newer Mac Mini's snow leopard partition--- it worked! To make it easy to tell the difference, I changed the desktop background to something completely different. I think I tried booting from Lion but I can't remember if that worked.
    Then I rebooted the newer Mac Mini, which booted up in Lion, of course. Going into System Settings, I changed the startup disk to the "snow leopard" partition, and rebooted, and it booted up in Snow Leopard.
    I have yet to test the applications on the Snow Leopard partition. Another problem has arisen.
    Because with both of the Mac MInis being active on the network, they both had the same computer and user name. So I renamed the newer Mac Mini to something completely different, and changed the password.
    Unfortunately, now I cannot change any other setting in the System Settings that requires a password. While the newer Snow Leopard lets me log in with the new user and new password, whenever I try to click the "lock" icon to change something, I'm prompted for a username and password. Apparently this is some different username and password than either the new or old username/password.
    I've tried various combinations of both: new user/old password, old user/new password, old user/old password, etc.
    So if you do what I've done, be careful about changing the username and password on your cloned computer. I think it may be wiser to create a new user and then delete the old cloned users. I may just have to re-clone the old Mac Mini to the new one again.
    If anyone has any ideas about this password conundrum, please pass along!

  • How do I install my old my 2010 Mac book pro/ Snow Leopard 10.6.3 program on a power Mac G5 Desktop

    How do I install my old my 2010 Mac book pro/ Snow Leopard 10.6.3 program on a power Mac G5 Desktop

    A PowerPC G4 or G5 can't be upgraded past 10.5.8. If you're trying to install an application and not a newer Mac OS X version, check its system requirements and use the original disk or download.

    Go to System Preferences > Users & Groups. If the lower left, there is a lock icon. Click on it and type in your password to make changes.

  • Is MAC OS X v10.6.8 same as MAC OS X Snow Leopard. Since i want to download MAC OS X LION can it be downloaded on my mac which has MAC OS X v10.6.8 ??

    Is MAC OS X v10.6.8 same as MAC OS X Snow Leopard. Since i want to download MAC OS X LION can it be downloaded on my mac which has MAC OS X v10.6.8 ??

    Yes, assuming you can run Lion, & can deal with no more Save or Save As... functions...
    Lion/101.7 System requirements
        •    x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
        •    At least 2GB of memory, (I say 4GB)
        •    Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
        •    At least 4GB of disk space for downloading, (I say 40GB at least)
    Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
    Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.

  • Can I run Adobe CS, CS3, CS4, and CS5 software on Apple Mac upgrade forom Snow Leopard to Maveric OS X ?

    I would like to know if I can run my older Abobe CS, CS3, 4, 5 on an upgrade from Mac OS X Snow Leopard  to OS X Mavericks ?

    Might work; might not.  Legacy apps (CS2, 3, 4) that weren't built to run on modern operating systems may have trouble with Mavericks.   I think you'll be OK with CS5, 6 and CC.

  • Mac mini and Snow leopard wireless problems

    Hi,
    I got mac mini running snow leopard to our office from another branch, this is recently brought mac mini with snow leopard installed,
    But the problem is I cannot connect to internet using wireless connections. Reading other posts i found out that there is a snow leopard issues with connecting to wireless network, but this problem seems to unique. When i connect to wireless network it shows me that, mac mini is connected to wireless network but doesn't take ip address from dhcp , its show some self assigned ip which is 169.254.226.163, but my network address are 192.168.1.*, ethernet works fines,but in wireless even when i gave manual ip , it connect but i cannot connect to internet neither i can ping to router.
    I tried various methods suggests in forms, like deleting network preference files in /Library/Preferences and ~/Library/Preferences and also deleting network connection and adding new one, even updating to 10.6.3 but nothing works for me,
    My macbook nicely connected to wireless and get ip, even PC connect nicely this issue is only with Mac mini
    Could have suggest me how can i fixed this, Thank you very much,
    Best Regards,
    Waruna.

    Thanks DaddyPaycheck for your initial response. Before I jump onto the phone with Comcast couple of questions that I have for clarification purposes:
    1) Are you implying that I must link my blabla.com address to that static IP address through my Domain Provider? See following example:
    Record Type Record Host Record Answer TTL
    A *.blablat.com >>Static IP<< 300
    2) The current IP I have been given 60.172.151.254, why is that not static or how do you know it is not static?
    3) When executing the command host in terminal for this IP address it returns the following: c-60-172-151-254.hsdl.co.comcast.net which coincidentally is the same as primary DNS it recommended during the initial configuration of the Mini Server. What does this mean? When I enter this in Safari it results in 'Safari can't connect to server'.
    4) Executing the same command for my domain name 'blabla.com' it results in my 'internal' IP address '1.0.10.9'.
    Thanks in advance for any clarification you can provide,
    Tiest.
