I just upgraded an old Imac from Leopard to Snow Leopard, now it won't work

I just upgraded my 2003 imac from leopard to snow leopard and after restart all I get is a blue screen. Nothing happens. How can I get back to the old leopard. I use this computer for research just because of the 23'' screen. Help

I'm sure that a 2003 machine is incapable of accepting Snow Leopard. Have you checked the specs to see if it is ...
Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard -Read the Technical Specifications
In particular, check the amount of RAM you have.
You could contact Apple through your National Apple store with the serial number of your machine to see if they can provide a replacement DVD ... but I doubt they can.

I've just updated my iPhone to the new iPhone OS and now it won't work and iTunes won't recognise that it's there. I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled twice and it's not working. Please help.

I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version. I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again. I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again. My blue tooth doesn't work either. I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this. When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue. My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!! I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue. Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it. Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

My mail outbox wont go online. Inboxes work fine. Just upgraded my old iMac to OS 10.6.8, kept my internet provider, entered all the same numbers and settings so can't figure out why mail won't go out. Help. S.T.

My eMail outbox won't go online. I can't send eMail messages but I am currently receiving my messages.
Just upgraded my older iMac to 10.6.8 but kept the same eMail addresses (Google), the same provider (Cricket Broadband), and entered all the same settings in Mail Preferences and Accounts as before.
Any suggestions as how to get my outbox online so I can send mail?
ST

Hello,
Who is your eMail provider, the part after the @ sign?
In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
Then click the Show Details button & Check again.
Mail: Can't send messages, "Cannot send message using the server smtp.xxxxx.com" alert appears...
old: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1482
What SMTP setting do you have for gMail?
Did you get rid of any old passwords in Keychain Access?

Why can't I open mp4 movies in my new QuickTime Player. I just upgraded my MacBookPro Intel Core Duo to Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

I recently upgraded my MacBookPro Intel Core Duo to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. When I opened one of my movie clips in mp4 file it was opened by my MPEG Streamclip and not with the new QuickTime Player that came with the new OS. I need to manually open the Quicktime Player and Open file the mp4 movie I want to play it. I have no problem with the QuickTime Pro that I was using in my previous OS before I upgraded. I did not encounter this problem, however, with my iMac Intel when I upgraded it to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. The Quicktime Player in my iMac Intel automatically opens my mp4 movies. Only my flv files are opened automatically by my MPEG Streamclip as I expected to. Why?

I need to upgrade my old macbook (2006?) but Snow Leopard isn't compatible.

I am operating OSX 10.5.8. The processor is a 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and I've been told Snow Leopard is not compatible with this processor.
At least that is what is stated in the previous discussion:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18003195#18003195
Any advice on how to upgrade?

You might want to increase your RAM. The model 3,1 (Late 2007) can use 6gb of 200 pin 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM. These are good online stores for Mac compatible RAM
OWC 667Mhz RAM
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/DDR2/ - They offer Mac tested RAM at very good prices.
Crucial Memory http://www.crucial.com/ - good place to buy RAM from all over the world. They also have an excellent memory selector that allows you to choose memory based on your computer's model
Data Memory Systems http://www.datamemorysystems.com/apple-memory.asp - another good, cheap place to buying RAM if you live in the U.S.
Here are instructions on replacing RAM in a MacBook with a removable battery. http://homeoffice.consumerelectronicsnet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=44404
If you don’t have the tools to open up the MacBook OWC has a set for $5.

Updated to Snow Leopard 10.6.7, now wireless won't work?

Today I installed the new Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.7 on my MacBook Pro, and now I cannot connect to wireless networks. I've searched everywhere for answers all night to no avail. Other macbooks and pc's can connect to the network just fine, so it's definitely the software.
When I open the network settings, the Airport appears in yellow instead of green and says "AirPort has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.26.111 and will not be able to connect to the internet".
I've tried turning the airport on and off, I've tried rebooting the router, rebooting the computer, rebooting the computer in safe mode, moving the System Configuration folder onto my desktop. Nothing that I found anywhere on this forum has worked.
Now I understand that self assigned IP addresses starting with 169 will not be able to connect to the internet. My question is what in the world can I do to get an IP address that will allow me to connect to the internet?

Hi! I have the same issue but mine doesn't assign any ip address, just blank. I have a brand new macbook.

Husband just upgraded his Dell Inspiron netbook to the newest Firefox, now websites won't finish loading...I have tried every fix recommended by Firefox...no luck! Ideas?

Try to find some solutions in [[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]].

Upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard with retail DVD.

Apologies if this has been posted before, but I've not been able to find it when searching.
I'm going to be upgrading an iMac from Tiger to Snow Leopard, using the retail DVD. When I boot from it, it only gives me the option to install, and there's no indication that it will be upgrading rather than installing a new copy.
Can you upgrade Tiger to Snow Leopard with this DVD or would I have to do a clean install? If I can upgrade, is it normal that it isn't telling me it's going to do an upgrade?
Thanks all.

The Snow Leopard installer is somewhat optimized for updating an existing system: it uses data gathered from the old system to decide what to install, its network settings to attempt to access an Apple database of incompatible apps to supplement the list on the DVD, & other useful things.
It even does the equivalent of Disk Utility's verify disk step before writing anything to the HD & does the actual upgrade as root user, making permissions issues a moot point.
There is no reason to hesitate to use it in this way. It is greatly improved compared to earlier OS installers.

HP scanjet 8200 inop after Leopard to Snow Leopard upgrade

I upgraded my 2008 iMac Intel computer to Snow Leopard from Leopard, and then did the download process to end up at 10.6.8. After this I found that my HP 8200 flatbed scanner wasn't recognized by the iMac. Searched for HP software upgrade to work with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and downloaded that from the HP site. Even though the first portion of that download was successful, upon reboot to finish the install the computer doesn't follow up with the finishing steps. Tried the HP download twice with the same result.
The scanner is still unusable, and when I try to uninstall the HP scanner it can't be done because the files are corrupted and unavailable. Used the Time Machine to go back prior to the Snow Leopard upgrade, but the scanner is still unrecognized. Would the proper procedure for this have been to uninstall the scanner prior to the OS upgrade to Snow Leopard, and then reinstall the scanner, followed by downloading the drivers needed for Snow Leopard? Or is there some inherent conflict with the drivers on the 8200 install disc that will corrupt the process if Snow Leopard is the OS when I do the install? How do I proceed from here to make the scanner functional with Snow Leopard?

After a third attempt at the download of the HP drivers and files appropriate for Snow Leopard I was successful. It may have been successful on the first attempt, but I found I was trying to uninstall the original files for the earlier version HP uses to work with Leopard, which had already been replaced with the Snow Leopard version......! Therefore I was trying to uninstall files which weren't there anymore, and that's why I was getting the 'missing or corrupted' message. As usual, operator error in this case, but I hope some of you might learn from my mistake. I wish HP would have just eliminated those old files from the Hewlett-Packard bundle of folders so I wouldn't have mistakenly assumed there was something wrong with the download. Oh well, live and learn.

Got message... you can't use this version of the application mail with this version of Max OS X, after i upgraded operating system to MAC OSA X Snow leopard. How do I get my Mail?

Hi ...just upgraded my Macbook pro to Mac OSX snow leopard and when I tried to look at my mail, I got this message "You can't use this version of the application mail with this version of MAC OS X". What do I do now to look at my mail and receive new mail?

After updating make sure you repair permissions and restart your computer.

I want to downgrade from Mavericks to Snow Leopard. How can I do this?

I want to downgrade my 2009 IMac from Mavericks to Snow Leopard. Please explain how I do this.

Insert the Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, restart the computer with the C key held down, and install Snow Leopard onto a blank volume. If needed, use the Disk Utility to erase or repartition the internal drive.

Just upgraded my iMac to OS x snow leopard. trouble now with my printer. I've disconnected and reconnected. Does not seem to recognize printer. It is listed as the default printer

just upgraded my iMac to OS x snow leopard. Now I have another problem. Printer not working. I've unplugged and replugged, nothing happens
HELP
thanks in advance

Go to the website for your printer manufacturer and check if there are SL compatible drivers available for your model. This is not an unusual issue, and if the printer's not too old, the updated drivers should be there.
If you can't find one on the manufacturer's site, try Apple Support Downloads and look back through the updates in there; Apple has issued generic updates for a number of printers since SL's release, so you may find one that way.
After installing the new drivers you'll need to setup the printer again.

I just upgraded my older G5 from tiger to leopard and it is now at 10.5.8, I was unaware that the new system did not support the classic envoirnment and cannot access my 6.0 version of Photoshop, which I use often...how do I get P.S. going again?

Niel...
I installed Leopard 10.5.6 and then it upgraded to 10.5.8, when I installed it I had the old info saved to a "previous systems" folder, where most of my artwork, etc. were saved, I have a one terabyte Lacie backup that unfortunately did not work as it was intended...it saved the new info and not the old. I did look into the system preferences folder and found the classic file, of course it wouldn't launch...but I have the old G 5 startup discs and will try to do it as you stated. I will try also to move it out of the previous folders file to my hard drive and see how that works.
thank you for your time and help,
Dennis

Just upgraded my 2014 iMac to yosemite. Now my Bose sound link won't work. The bluetooth is connected and it beeps as normal, just no sound comes from the speaker. This is very frustrating (along with the now flat rather than 3D icons on the desktop)

I have now recently downloaded 10.0.2 which is confusing in itself, as, as far as I can ascertain that is actually version 11, but I'm not even sure about that.
Version 10.0.2 is the newest version and the successor to GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.5).
The '11 is referring to the iLife '11 suit of multimedia application - the older GarageBand was a part of this bundle.
Have a look at Edgar's graphical enhanced manuals, the explain very detailed how things work and why. You can buy them as iBooks from the iBook store or directly from the page:
