Hi
No. Read this:

It will tell you what you need. You can't download Snow Leopard. You'll have to purchase it. See here:

    on the same partition?  no.  you'll need to create another partition if you want to dual boot, and install SL there.

  • HT5568 I have Mac OS X 10.7.5- can not download safari from anywhere, what should I do?

    I have Mac OS X 10.7.5- can not download safari from anywhere, what should I do?

    Safari is part of OS X 10.7.5, and your downloads should be via  > Software Update...
    Can you provide some details on why you're trying to download Safari?  Did Safari get deleteed from the dock or from the /Applications folder?  Is Safari failing somehow?
    There are ways to re-load Safari using the standard updates, if so.  That usually involves re-applying the combo update kits, but I'd not start with that as a suggestion without knowing a little more about what's causing you to seek to re-download Safari...
    And FWIW, and this may well be obvious to you, but — based solely on your phrasing, as I don't know how familiar you are with this stuff — recognize that sites claiming to offer {Safari or other web browsers, video codecs, flash players, system performance accellerators, anti-virus software,  cache cleaners, games, whatever} can be distributing malware for OS X.  Once the tool is downloaded and installed and authenticated, then the tool can do whatever it wants.  Put another way, please don't try downloading Safari from anywhere.  Please get Safari only from the Apple web site.

  • I have a very old mac and need to upgrade to snow leopard to update my itunes, my disc drive is not working can i download snow leopard without a disc?

    I have an old mac version 10.5.8  I need to update to snow leopard and my disc drive isn't working... Can I download snow leopard without a disc?

    Snow Leopard is only available on disk. Furthermore, even if you had a working disk drive, you may not be able to install Snow Leopard anyway, depending on just how "old" your Mac is. It must have an Intel processor to run Snow Leopard (Macs with Intel processors were first made in 2006), among other requirements.

  • I have OS X 10.5.8.  Can I load Snow Leopard without losing data and then upgrade to Lion?

    I am using OS X 10.5.8.  I have a disk with Snow Leopard on it, but I don't know if I downloaded it.  Can I download this Snow Leopard disk without risking a loss of data on my MacBook Pro?

    If by "download" you mean "install," then you can install Snow Leopard over a Leopard system. But anything can happen, so it would be wise to backup first.
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from the Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Install Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Boot from the Snow Leopard installer DVD.  Follow the onscreen instructions. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • Just updated to Firefox 4.0 and can't download former 3.6 version as suggested by others...what can I do since I have Mac OSX 10.4.11 and can't download older Firefox version?

    When I went to the website suggested in the forum to download the older 3.6 version of Firefox, there was nowhere I could click to download this older version. Firefox recommends and had a place to click on downloading 4.0. How can I get the best of both without having to upgrade my Mac OSX? Please send me a reply ASAP! Thanks!

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5. You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

    How can i install snow leopard on my mac G5 using a command line and booting from an external usb rom, since my disk i have is not a bootable media

    Hi.
    You simply can't. Snow Leopard is compiled in Intel binary only.
    Good Luck.

  • Tried to download version 4, which replaced old 3.6, but I'm getting a message that version 4 will not work with Mac OS 10 (I have OS 10.4.11). How can I download previous Firefox version?

  • I just bought a mac and I used the migration assistant so I could have all my files, but I got my account from Snow Leopard and now I don't have Lion anymore?

    If anyone knows what my next step is, please help! Thanks

    Are you absolutely sure that your new Mac had Lion installed? If so, are you now absolutely sure you are running Snow Leopard? What does About This Mac under the Apple icon in the menu say about what system you are running.
    Snow Leopard will not install on top of Lion. You have to erase the HD to downgrade from Lion to Snow Leopard. Migration Assistant doesn't have the capability of doing this.

  • If I purchase a brand new I-mac today do I have to run OS Lion or can I load Snow leopard?

    If I purchase a brand new I-mac today do I have to run OS Lion or can I load Snow leopard?

    Just faced that question, and the answer should be that you can run SL on the latest iMac.
    (Our scenario:  Bought 3 iMacs in August.  Was surprised -- and relieved! -- to see that they arrived with SL installed on them, and grey system restore disks.  One of the machines was DOA.  Futzed around with it for 6 weeks trying to get it to work, decided it was dead, drove it 4 hours to the nearest Apple Store.  They gave us a new iMac, which when we got it back, turned out to have Lion on it.  Popped in one of the three grey restore disks that had come in August, installed SL, it works without any problems.)

  • I have Mac OS X 10.6.8, can I have Safari 7 and how ?

    I have Mac OS X 10.6.8, can I have Safari 7 and how ?

    10.6.8 is Snow Leopard, and given the memory you have, your Mac should be one of those listed as suitable. After backing up just in case things don't work out, you should be all set to download & install from the App Store.
    Do note that some Applications won't work or may need updating for Mavericks, and Power PC apps won't run at all.
    I'll stress the backup, since if you don't care for or can't work with Mavericks, you'll need one to revert to 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.
