I have snow leopard version 10.6.8. How do I get my email now?
Apple states that you can get it through the website iCloud.com
However, you can also use your mail account if you set it up manually.
Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard

I have an IMAC snow Leopard version 10.6.8 How do I update Safari?
What version of Safari are you running now (click on safari in the menu bat , about Safari)
5.1.10 is the latest version for SL.If you are getting a message from Yahoo saying you need to update Safari, ingnore it, it is an issue at their end.
If you have a lower version than listed above,
Make sure you have run these 2 updates:

Recently I updated to Maverick -- I also updated Numbers, Pages and Keynote. NOW, I cannot open my pages documents. I get a message that I need a newer version of Pages. I have the newest version (5.2). How do I get around this to view my documents?
You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

I can't scan from my Canon Pixma 882 after installing Snow Leopard 10.6.3. I did get the printer to work after downloading the printer software from Apple. I used to have 10.4.1. How can I get my scanner to work?
Check here to see if there is an updated driver available for it:

Check first if your Mac might be compatable.

How can I get my email on the toolbar (shown as logged in), indicating if I have any new messages?
On my toolbar at the top, I used to be able to know automatically if I have any new emails (there will be a number which shows how many messages). Now, all I see is an icon of "logged out." how do I get my email logged in, with a corresponding number next to it, showing if I have any new messages?
I don't know how to enable this feature. Instead, everytime I want to check email, I have to go through the hassle of logging in. Before, I didnt have to do that as I would see a number, telling me how many new messages I have. It's a nuisance. How do I get this email alert thing back and running?What is a "G4" iPhone? No such thing exists.
Regardless, installing iTunes on the computer has no affect on being able to access an email account on an iPhone. -
I have a mac book pro that i bought in late 2009. My current software is snow leopard version 10.5.8. I would like to get the new lion operating system but I cant without first getting the latest version of snow leopard. however when I go to update my software it doesnt show that any update is available.
10.5.8 is Leopard, not Snow Leopard. You need the Snow Leopard DVD;
You can get it only by phone now from Apple.
In the US, call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for a sales assistant. Last quoted price was $19.99 for the single-user and $29.99 for the family licence.
For other countries, check here; http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
Don't forget to ask for Sales; the tech support guys can't help.
If you want Lion, rather than Mountain Lion, the same Sales team can give you a download code to use at the Mac AppStore.
To get the App Store, you need to update your new Snow Leopard from 10.6.3 (which is the version on the installer) to 10.6.8 with the combo update; http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Be warned that the upgrades will render a lot of older software unusable, and will need new drivers for printers and scanners in all likelihood. -
I'm trying to migrate from mobileMe to iCloud but I have Snow Leopard (the latest version). It looks like Lion is no longer available because Mountain Lion comes out next month (July). The problem is mobileMe ends on June 30th. How can I migrate?
My iphone and my ipad are compatible but when I try to go to icloud on my phone it says to do it on my computer.
I would like to have my calendar, contacts, etc.. all sync like they do now. Is there a way to upgrade before June 30th? If not, will the gap be an issue or will I just be able to buy mountain lion and sync everything?
Any suggestions?
Thank you!You can buy Lion in the App Store now, but move to iCloud now. If you wait to Mountain Lion, you will only have Mail in Snow Leopard, so you will lose syncing unless you use Lion or Mountain Lion. It's up to you

I have a iMac 6,1 that I need to reformat the hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard version 10.6.3 . How do I reformat ?
Boot the ssystem from the OS DVD. Once it is booted run Disk Utiltiy. Select OS Extrended (Journled)

I have a Mac OSX Version 10.5.8 When I put in my disc to upgrade to snow leopard version 10.6.3 it tells me I need atleast 1gb of ram memory to download. what can I do
Your iMac can take a total of 2 GBs of RAM Max.
Maximum Memory
2.0 GB
Memory Slots
2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM
You will be able to install OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and it will run, but you may not be happy with the performance overall.
OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and later OS X versions use more and more CPU, GPU and RAM resources.
OS X 10.6, by itself, will use between 2-4 GBs of RAM to run quickly, smoothly and efficiently.
Start running additonal applications and your iMac is going to struggle.
Just fair warning if you notice that your iMac is running slower after installing OS X 10.6.
Good Luck! -
I have a Mac OS X Snow Leopard version and my fan keeps coming on. I have been away for a week so it has not been used and yet when I started it up the fan started straight away. Is there anything I can do? Please help! Thanks
Yes, look in Activity Monitor (Applications /Utilities /Activity Monitor.app) and see what it eating up all the %CPU. If anything is over 40%, post the name here to get advice or just kill it straight away with the red 'Quit' button.
If nothing is using up CPU resources, but the fans are going full blast, do an SMC reset. Read the instructions here:

I have an iMAC G5 PowerPC (not Intel) running10.5.8. I sync my iphone to iTunes - but just learned I must have Snow Leopard to do so for my new iPhone 5S. Yet I can't install Snow Leopard as the G5 is not Intel. What do I do? How do I move music and pics? And keep them synced up as I purchase more?
Sorry, but that is correct. You need Snow Leopard to sync your phone and the latest version of iTunes and you old G5 cannot run that.

How do I install Mountain Lion - I have snow leopard ?
I am completely confused
I have Snow Leopard - Mac OS X 10.6.8 on my Macbook 7,1
I have XCode 3.2.3
Want to upgrade to Mountain Lion 10.8
Downloaded a huge dmg - about 1.7 GB from iOS Dev center ( am a registered user here after I paid USD 99 )
Clicked on ' Technical Resources and Tools ' >> Clicked on 'Downloads' under ' Resources for iOS6 ' >> See a XCode 4.6.1 option to download
It also says :
Posted Date: March 14, 2013
Build: 4H512
Included iOS SDK: iOS 6.1
Included Mac SDK: Mac OS X 10.8
Finally got the download complete ( have very poor network connectivity at home )
double clicked it and it opened a window where I dragged and dropped it
something happened and in 'Applications' XCode is shown but with a prohibitionary image on the icon
If I double click it - it says :
"You cant use this version of the application Xcode with this version of Mac OS X - You have Mac OS X 10.6.8 The application requires Mac OS X 10.7.4 or later "
which is fine - I downloaded this dmg because it said it had Mountain Lion
The way I thought this would work is the installer would upgrade to Mountain Lion and then XCode - but I dont see anything apart from XCode
Please help
satishFirstly, you cannot get Mountain Lion as a developer for iOS. You have to become a registered OS X developer. Secondly, if you want Mountain Lion then open App Store, sign in with your Apple ID, purchase and download Mountain Lion.
XCode is not Mountain Lion and Mountain Lion was never included with XCode.
