I have a Mac Pro 8 Core and Snow Leopard won't install from the DVD.

Any idea why?

Either your machine doesn't meet the [Snow Leopard system requirements|http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html] - which I can't imagine would be the case for that machine, though I don't know that for sure - or you're using the wrong disk. Note that the gray disks that shipped with one machine will not work on a different one, unless they are exactly identical models. Or, I suppose, you've got a bad disk or hardware problem.

  • I have a Macbook pro 2009 with Snow Leopard.  Which system can I install without running into complicated problems which I will not be able to solveby myself? (Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite?)

    I have a Macbook pro 2009 with Snow Leopard.  Which system can I install without running into complicated problems which I will not be able to solve by myself- a person with limited problem solving abilities. (Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite?)

    It will make it easier to help you w/ your problem to know the  size and RAM installed.
    "Yesterday I couldn't update the maps on my Garmin because it said the OS I had wouldn't work"
    What OS will your Garmin work with? Funny there was someone else that did that and upgraded to Yosemite and regretted it.
    I'd say Lion if your Garmin is compatible.
    Both Lion and Mountain Lion are downloadable from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion
    The OSs will get more resource hungry the higher you go.

  • I  have a Mac Pro running OS X 10.8.2. Frequently the system fails detect a CD. Doesn't seem to make a difference if it contains music or is blank. I am unable to eject the CD. The system just doesn't recognize that a CD has been loaded.

    Step one, boot the new MBA into recovery mode (CMD+R on startup), launch Disk Utility, wipe the HD, and restore the OS. On reboot, use the Setup Assistant to do the migration. Details in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide.

  • I have an older model iMac with Snow Leopard. Can I download the icloud? and if so where can I do that?

    I have an older model iMac with Snow Leopard. Can I download the icloud? and if so from where can I do that?

    iCloud requires OS X 10.7.2 or later, so you have to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion or Lion.
    First, see if your Mac is supported > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs If it's supported, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. While Mountain Lion is downloading, you can make a backup of your data.
    When the download finishes, the installer will show up, so follow the steps to upgrade Mac OS X. After upgrading, you will be able to log in iCloud in System Preferences > iCloud.
    Also, see if your programmes are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com

    MacBook Pro
    Apple - Support - MacBook Pro
    Mac OS Version builds
    When did yours come out? what does the above show as model and minimum build?
    You should have yoru OEM OS X DVD, not one from another Mac, or retail, though the last retail OS X DVD was a year ago 10.6.3.
    If it installed, I don't see an issue unless the drive had corrupt directory etc.
    What you need to do is repair your boot drive or restore from backup.

    When I left my former employer, Pollinate Agency, I bought a MacBook Pro with Acrobat Pro (version 9 or possibly 9.5) installed from the company. I recently had a serious computer crash, and needed to get all contents erased. The support provider didn't have my product key, so could not reinstall Acrobat Pro for me. Since then, I have gotten the product key sent to me from my former employer, [ REMOVED ] So I need help in re-downloading, installing and activating the Acrobat Pro software on this computer.

    Please remove the S/N immediately (I can't or would). Never post them online. As for download you can go to http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html on the right panel to get 9 pro. I am not sure there is a MAC version there, but that is the first place to go. If it is the proper version, then please back it up to CD and/or portable HD, not the system HD.

  • I have a first gen iPad, and it will randomly go home from the Internet when I don't press any button.  I have a wireless connection at home.

    I have a first gen iPad, and it will randomly go home from the Internet when I don't press any button.  I have a wireless connection at home.  Is this a known bug?  What can I do?

    You maybe running low on memory since you are using the original iPad with iOS 5.1.1 and the iPad is crashing. This may help and it certainly won't hurt.
    Quit all apps completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Do this before you launch Safari again. Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data. You don't have to clear the history.

    Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
    Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
    After this, do an update from the App Store.
    Thats all there is to it.
    For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
    Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
    There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

  • Toast Titanium Pro 10 and Snow Leopard

    HI
    Does anyone know if Toast 10 Titanium Pro will work with 'Snow Leopard'?
    thanks
    NBK

    NBK,
    Works here, fresh, clean install on the intenal zeroed out drive of Snow Leopard Saturday, and a paid download today (Sunday) of Toast 10 Titanium. Don't have TIVo so can't help ya there. That on a MBP 2.16/Core Duo/2GB. Snow Leopard has been nice so far, no nasty surprises with the exception of cuteFTP Pro Mac, which works fine in Leopard, fails to install now. TS with them tomorrow.
