I have an iMac C2D, running Snow Leopard,
and I can't connect to any website other than apple.com, how do I fix this?
I've tried everything in the standard trouble shooting handbook, double checked my firewall settings, shut down and restarted computer. shut down and restarted wireless router and cable modem, etc etc... to no avail. I have no idea what's going on. I have never seen this issue, where I can access apple.com, but NO other website. I am in need of assistance. PLEASE HELP!!!!
Your profile indicates you have v10.6.3 installed.
If that's correct, you need to update your system software.
Click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Softare Update...
If the software is actually up to date, try temporarily disabling anti virus software.
- Apps such as Little Snitch can prevent pages from loading.
- And try a different DNS server.
Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
Click +
Enter these addresses exactly as you see them here.

I have a PPC based software ... Is it possible to run it in intel based?? I have a iMAC OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Thanks
Their answer was this ...
The version for GNX4 MACOSX is only for PPC based Mac. There is no Intel version as the product was discontinued before Intel based MAC came out.
I guess I should give up, hehehe...
Thanks -
My Imac drive just died. Always backed up with Time machine to a WD My Passport. But after connecting it to my other imac (also running Snow Leopard) all the files are missing. I click on backup.backupdb but no files - just applications. Any ideas?
Welcome to the Communities.
We want to help you but unfortunately you have given us insufficient information.
Please find a moment to tell us more about your machine, the model identifier, the OS version, and the total amount of RAM you have. It also helps to know where you are, nothing specific, just the country. Macs do not run on iOS 6.1.6 as your profile says.
Then fill those same details in your profile for future use

I have a macbook pro running snow leopard. Just recently I cannot view youtube videos and other online videos. I recently updated my flashplayer plugin and I believe that is the problem. Is the latest flashplayer plugin compatible with 10.6.8? If this is so, I need to find an older flash player plugin to reinstall. I do not want to upgrade from 10.6.8 at this time because I have 18 yrs. worth of financial records on Quicken that I have read will not work with Lion and I've read bad things about running music programs on Maverick.

1) Quicken 2007 for Intel (Snow Leopard, Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks) is a full featured app that can be downloaded from Intuit for $15 and will work with your data file if you are using Quicken 2005, 2006 or 2007 (if you version is earlier, let me know for more instructions on easy conversion):

2) Partition your hard drive, or add an external hard drive and install Mavericks there and "dual-boot" to operate your music programs in Snow Leopard and experiment with them in Mavericks.
DO NOT install Mavericks over Snow Leopard! -
Office 2008 or Office 2011 on iMac 2007 running Snow Leopard
Hi iMac Folks
My iMac Mid 2007 has 4GB RAM and is running Snow Leopard on a 250 GB partition, the another 250 GB partition is purely for Time Machine backup. I also got both Office 2008 and Office 2011.
From the perspectives of performance, stability and compatibility, which version of Office is the best choice for this old iMac?
I currely have a Mac Pro running Office 2011, can Office 2008 open 2011's files without any difficulty or problem?
Cost is not an issue here, as I have already owned both copies, each has three licenses. However, in terms of cost, if possible, I prefer using Office 2008 as this way I can keep more Office 2011 licenses for new Macs, if any.
Any comments are welcome.
Kind regards
BFrom the perspectives of performance, stability and compatibility, which version of Office is the best choice for this old iMac?
2008.
I currely have a Mac Pro running Office 2011, can Office 2008 open 2011's files without any difficulty or problem?
Yes. Both use the standard .docx and are backwards compatible with older (pre 2007) .doc files. -
Which later IMacs can run Snow Leopard?
I am planning on getting a new (or refurbished) 27 inch IMac soon, to replace an older Mac. Problem is, I will need to dual boot between Snow Leopard, and Lion, because I must still use Quicken. I assume if I pick a 2010 IMac, it will still run Snow Leopard. However, if I decide to get the newest IMac, will it still boot with Snow Leopard? I'm wondering if the i5 and i7 chips will boot the old system.
It totally depends on what the firmware is set up to work with. Any iMac issued before July should dual boot. If I had to do it, I'd get a refurb one that's guaranteed to boot w/SL. If the seller can't guarantee that, don't buy it.

Upgraded my Imac to Mt. Lion and now the Microsoft Office icons will not open WORD, EXCEL, POWERPOINT, or ENTOURAGE. I just pruchased on Ebay
OFFICE 2011 since my old version was 2004. DO I REMOVE THE OLD ICONS BEFORE LOADING OFFICE 2011 RO AFTER I LOAD IT???
THANKS, DR PEPPERMINTOffice 2011 will install in a separate folder. But do not install Office 2011 until you remove Office 2004. It comes with its own uninstalled located in the MS Office folder. Only use the uninstaller to get rid of it. Then install Office 2011.
Office 2004 and Other Applications Don't Work in Lion/Mountain Lion
If you have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite, it will not work in Lion/Mountain Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion/Mountain Lion.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
As for other software, any PPC-based software will not run in Lion or Mountain Lion because Rosetta is no longer part of OS X. You will need to upgrade to Intel versions of the software.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.) -
I have an iMac G5 OS 10.5.6. How do I activate the external microphone port? In gen. pref. 'sound' there is no option for the external port.
Your audio settings may have been changed.
Open Audio MIDI Setup (/Applications/Utilities/), then check the Audio Output setting.
Change the Audio Output setting to 44100.0 Hz.
Quit Audio MIDI Setup.

In order to install Windows 7 on my iMac I need to upgrade bootcamp to at least 3.1 I currently have 3.0.4 After downloading from the website there is no way to install it - it is just a text file? What should I do?
You have to start with 3.0, which is on the OSX disc that came wih your Mac.

Was hoping to keep my Creative Suite 4 just a little longer. Will it be possible with Mavericks?
Uh uh, I see!
Also it seems I can use my time machine backup:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migration_Assistant_(Apple)
together with Migration Assistant. This would work. Thanks
Now I need to figure out the Windows part. I need a full backup of Windows as well, with all the programs. In particular I need to be sure I can maintain the graphic card drivers.
You don't want to know how long took for me to find out how the **** I could update my graphic card drivers in Windows on my Macbook pro. Unfortunately there was a lot of misleading propaganda from Apple about bootcamp, saying that the new intel processor would have worked fine with Windows. Sad that everything was a lie. When installing Windows with bootcamp the graphic card program was unable to find and install the graphic card drivers update . Took me 2 weeks reading through thousands of angry posts of disappointed costumers to find out how to do that. I do not want to reapeat this dreadful experience.
After one year and a half with my Macbook pro I have a system I am TERRIFIED to touch. It is very very fragile, and any little change can destroy everything. It barely works. that's why I am so scared to re-install the OS -
Problems syncing iCal btwn iPod Touch and Mac running Snow Leopard (10.6.8)
Last fall I purchased an iPod Touch 32 GB, now running 6.1.2 iOS. I have an iMac 2007 running Snow Leopard (10.6.8). I was looking forward to being able to sync my many iCal calendars and take it on the road with me, so that I could make appointments and have them then be available to me on my Mac. I have synced using usb cable, and can get contacts, music, apps synced just fine: but the Calendar has been rather choosy about what it will sync. Sometimes it will give transfer to the iPod all the appts on one calendar (for example, Medical, which lists all my medical appts) and sometimes it will only give me some of those, with no apparent pattern as to why some are transferring and some are not. Other calendars never sync at all. In the beginning I was able to make an appt on the iPod and have it transfer to the Mac,but it stopped doing that within the first month of purchase.
I have spoken with Apple Care twice on this topic, and both times the conversation ended with the saying they would have to send this up to someone more knowledgeable, who would assuredly get back to me. I have not received any contact from their supervisors/other departments to work on this. The first Apple Tech Support person thought it was due to the new iOS, and assured me they were working out bugs on that, but further updates have not addressed the issue.
Most folks seem to think the best solution is upgrading to Lion/Mountain Lion and syncing through the Cloud. But I *like* Snow Leopard, and what I've heard/seen about the newer operating systems isn't making me want to jump on that bandwagon unless there's really no other way around it. I've even seen some problems syncing calendars through the Cloud.
Has anyone found a solution for this that allows me to continue to run Snow Leopard?
Many thanks.
AProblem fixed. I have 3 wireless mice connected to my Mac Mini through a USB bus, and started to get conflicts, disconnected all of them, re-connected my Apple bluetooth mouse and it all snapped back in to place, also didn't help that earlier, my wife caught the cat walking across my keyboard. That problem solved by closing off the office when I'm not there, and cat expelled from the area.
Everything working as normal. -
Can I run Snow Leopard on my iMac + OS 10.4 as startup on external FW HD?
My iMac is running Snow Leopard.
I want to install OS 10.4 on an external FW HD and use that drive as startup to run older mac software (Canvas, etc.)
Can I do this? How? Snow Leopard won't let me install an older version of OS.
ThanksCan I do this?
Only if your computer shipped with Mac OS X 10.4. Use the 10.4 package that shipped with it.
How?
Install it normally, considering the point above.
Snow Leopard won't let me install an older version of OS.
It's not Snow Leopard that won't let you. It's the computer itself.

I have an old Imac G4 from 2003. I would like to start using it again, however it is so out of date and runs too slowly. What are my options to update it? I really don't want to invest a ton of money - I might as well get a new one, so if there are any reasonable ways to get it to run Snow Leopard or even Lion, please help. I've also considered using a mac mini? Is that worth it either? I'm not sure which way to go here. I don't want to trash it, I feel like it can be a great computer if updated.
Presumably it is running tiger 10.4.11?
It may be able to run Leopard 10.5:

I have an IMAP mailbox that seems to only show mail 7 days on my iMac running Snow Leopard. However, on my MacBook Pro I can see all old mail that I have not deleted. It is running the next operating system (Lion?). Does anyone know how I can get all my old mail back on my iMac. It is my primary computer and I need some of those old messages. I have tried to rebuild the mailbox but it has not done anything.
I have tried to rebuild the mailbox to no avail. The mailbox behavior says: Drafts (not checked) store draft messages on the server, Notes (checked) show not in Inbox, Sent (checked) Store sent messages on the server Delete sent messages when (option never selected), Junt (not checked) store junk messages on the server Delete junk messages when (option never selected), Trash (checked) moves deleted messages to the Trash mailbox and (checked) store deleted messages on the server Permanently erase deleted messages when (one month old option selected).
I have not set up any rules that I know of other than a signature, in the very least I have not changed any. -

I cannot afford to buy nor do I need a faster and more powerful iMac. My G3 iPhone accidently went swimming the other day (and died) after I had already ordered a new iPhone 5 which hasn't arrived yet.
My bottom line question is ; Do I have to buy a new iMac to be able to use my new iPhone 5. Thanks, Ted
