  • After updating to Mavericks from Snow Leopard, everything works except iPhoto. If I buy the current version of iPhoto for $15, will it work on Mavericks?

    After updating to Mavericks from Snow Leopard, everything works BUT all my photos were lost. If I buy the current version of iPhoto for $15, will it run on Mavericks?

    If you have iPhoto from iLife '11, then I would first install it on your computer. In that way you would be able to get the new iPhoto free since you are running Mavericks.
    iWork and iLife for Mac come free with every new Mac purchase. Existing users running Mavericks can update their apps for free from the Mac App Store℠. iWork and iLife for iOS are available for free from the App Store℠ for any new device running iOS 7, and are also available as free updates for existing users. GarageBand for Mac and iOS are free for all OS X Mavericks and iOS 7 users. Additional GarageBand instruments and sounds are available for a one-time in-app purchase of $4.99 for each platform.
    The iWork apps are free with a new iOS device since 1 SEP 2013. They are free with a new Mac since 1 OCT 2013. They are also free with the upgrade to OS X Mavericks 10.9 if you had the previous version installed when you upgraded.

  • HT201364 Unable to update to OS X Maverick from Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

    Unable to update to OS X Maverick from Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have 648GB available on my MAC HD but when I go to install I get error that I need 2 GB free and 8 GB available. Does the AppStore install some where other than the MAC Hard Drive on my imac?

    The reference is to RAM. You need at least 2 GBs of memory installed.

    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A for SL retail disks.
    Once SL is intalled from retail disks the combo installer should be found to update it to 10.6.8, which install App Store to download Lion.
    Is your computer Intel (required for SL)?  If intel is it Core2Duo (required for Lion)?

  • HT201364 If I upgrade to Mavericks from Snow Leopard will I still be able to use Microsoft office??

    If I upgrade to Mavericks from Snow Leopard will I still be able to use Microsoft office??

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Only if you have Office 2008 or 2011. Older Office versions are PowerPC apps, so they no longer work with Mavericks.
    If you are running Office 2008 or 2011, open any Office app, go to Help menu (in the menu bar) > Check for Updates, and install the latest version.
    If you are using an older Office version, uninstall it and install another application:
    Upgrade to Office 2008 or 2011 by buying it from the Microsoft website.
    Install Apple iWork applications after upgrading to OS X Mavericks.
    Install LibreOffice > http://www.libreoffice.org.
    Remember to make a backup of your files with Time Machine before upgrading.

  • I have updated my mac from snow leopard to mountain lion 3 days back. I had some important data in my library folder and it got overwritten. Is there any way i can get the data back from my snow leopard library folder?

    I have updated my mac from snow leopard to mountain lion 3 days back. I had some important data in my library folder and it got overwritten. Is there any way i can get the data back from my snow leopard library folder?
    I tried mackeeper to recover files but it could not. Any other way any one has tried to recover a system library folder after OS upgrade?

    No, it doesn't store a clone. You would have needed to make one with either SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner.
    If the files were in your ~/Library folder then they may still be there. As I said, you can access it by
    going to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library". I wouldn't think an upgrade would overwrite anything in ~/Library.
    If you have a Time Machine backup you may also be able to use that to retrieve them.

  • I just upgraded my 2008 macbook pro to OS X Maverick from Snow Leopard but my computer is running a bit buggy and slow. How do I downgrade back down to snow leopard?

    I just upgraded my 2008 macbook pro to OS X Maverick from Snow Leopard but my computer is running a bit buggy and slow. How do I downgrade back down to snow leopard?

    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.

  • I recently upgraded to Mavericks from Snow Leopard. Does Snow Leopard still exist on my Mac? If so, is it possible to restart under Snow Leopard in order to run PowerPC apps? If not, is there an OS available in 64 bit that supports PowerPC apps? Mav ***.

    I recently upgraded to Mavericks from Snow Leopard. Does Snow Leopard still exist on my Mac? If so, is it possible to restart under Snow Leopard in order to run PowerPC apps? If not, is there an OS available in 64 bit that supports PowerPC apps? Mav ***.

    The only reason I upgraded to Mavericks was because my Snow Leopard OS was 32 bit, which I was told would support only 4GB of RAM.
    That wasn't quite right. You can put in as much RAM as your Mac's hardware supports. The division is in the apps themselves. A 32 bit app can't use more than 4 GB or RAM. A 64 bit app can use much more.
    For example, as a 32 bit only version, Photoshop CS3 can't use more 4GB of RAM, no matter how much you actually have installed. CS4 or later can use all the RAM you want to throw at it.

  • Upgrading to OS X Mavericks from Snow Leopard

    Hi, I am upgrading to Mavericks from Snow Leopard and after I downloaded the OS X from App Store, my MacBook Pro restarted automatically but unfortunately I am stuck in a grey screen with the apple icon in the middle and with the loading wheel turning underneath the apple. It's been so long as around 2 hours that I'm stuck in this screen. Can someone help me please??

    kevbon83,
    if Mavericks installed successfully, then it should have created a recovery partition on your internal drive. Are you able to hold down a Command key and the R key while booting, to see if it starts into the recovery partition? If that doesn’t work, then you’ll need to use the original model-specific grey installation DVDs that came in the box with your MacBook Pro. Put the disc marked “Mac OS X Install DVD” into your internal SuperDrive, and reboot while holding down the C key. You’ll then be able to run the DVD’s Disk Utility command to “verify” your internal drive.

  • Will upgrading on to OS X Mavericks (from Snow Leopard 10.6.8) affect the running of the installed 3rd party softwares/programs?

    I have just received an email encouraging me to upgrading on to OS X Mavericks (from Snow Leopard 10.6.8). Currently I do have in my computer several 3rd party software and programs (from Adobestuff, finalcut Pro, MS Office, ILife etc.
    Will upgrading to OS X Mavericks affect the running of these software /programs?  Will I need to also upgrade these softwares?

    There may be issues with compatibilty, as with any OS upgrade. Snow leopard (10.6.N) includes a piece of software from Apple called Rosetta. This software allows older PowerPC applications to run on Intel based Macs. This software does not run on any OS X higher than the latest Snow Leopard, 10.6.8. You can see if you have any of programs that require Rosetta installed by bringing up the "System Information" application through spotlight (click on the magnifying glass icon on the upper right, type System Information in the search field and select the application thta is found).
    Once in System Information select "Applications" under "Software" near the bottom of the list. Scroll through the list of applications and if any indicate that they are PowerPC based then they will not run under Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks.
    Hope this helps.

    Then maybe you need to buy an update.

  • HT4759 updated to Lion, from snow leopard after updating all necessary programs & system, recieved emails saying it was successful changing to icloud but can i access iclound No - nothing works! webmail & mail - also reset password.

    updated to Lion, from snow leopard after updating all necessary programs & system, recieved emails saying it was successful changing to icloud but can i access iclound No - nothing works! webmail & mail - also reset password.

    Ok 1st one. The warning restriction message relates to this line in main.cf:
    smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated  permit_mynetworks  check_helo_access hash:/etc/postfix/helo_access  reject_non_fqdn_hostname  reject_invalid_hostname  permit reject_invalid_helo_hostname
    The last reject occurs after the single word "permit" and is ignored.
    However, that's not the problem.
    I'm not exactly sure what's happening, but this might be a clue.
    It would appear that either postfix is not being able to create the socket for private/policy or it's somehow created with the wrong permissions.  You might need to ramp up the debug level to get a better idea.
    You could check if it's being created by "netstat -a | grep private/policy" in terminal.
    My guess is that it's not being created because there is no setup statement in your master.cf file, but I don't understand why postfix would be looking for it if it isn't set up.  Private/policy I think relates to grey listing.  Maybe gives you a hint.

  • I upgraded to Maverick from Snow Leopard.

    I upgraded to Maverick from Snow Leopard.  Since the slowness problem is that I don't have enough RAM, how do I get my MacBook Pro back to Snow Leopard?

    The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They also have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the minimum. I now have 6GB installed on a machine supposedly limited to 4 GB.
