Do you use your Vaio Update for updates, kingdom? If so, check in there to see if you're also up to date on your video card drivers and BIOS. (Your downloads page at Sony UK shows some updates for those there, so we'd better check on them too.)

    need to reinstall 10.4.7 over recently installed snow leopard... will this be a problem?

    I don't use it much, but Quicken 6 still runs fine for me in Snow Leopard?
    Have a look at > snow leopard and rosetta: Apple Support Communities and see if anything there helps.
    Optionally you might want to consider installing Tiger on a properly formatted External Hard Drive partition > Apple Tips: Using Disk Utility 1. Format, Erase, or Reformat a Drive, then boot into it for running those PPC App's and keep your iMac on 10.6.

  • My MacBook shuts down without warning.  Recently installed snow leopard.  Battery is fine. Any ideas?

    My MacBook shuts down without warning.  I recently installed Snow Leopard and increased my RAM/Memory.  My battery is fine.  When I took it to the Genius Bar and they ran a diagnostic, nothing showed up.  It appeared fine and did not shut down during the time I was in the Apple Store.  Of course, once I made the two-hour drive home, my computer shut down within two minutes of using it.  Any ideas?  Do I need a new computer?  This one is about 5 years old.

    Sounds like a buggerd battery chip. If the MacBook turns off at a certain percent all the time, then your battery's status chip is damaged and is (quite literally) lying to Mac OS X.
    If it is actually hitting 0%, then temperature could be an issue or a there may be an issue with the battery itself.
    My advice: you may need to get a new MacBook as a new battery for 2006-model MacBook may be hard to come by (and defintiely no warranty support from Apple).

  • Recently installed Snow Leopard software and now my printer will not respond. Any suggestions?

    I recently installed Snow Leopard. Now my printer will not respond. How do I troubleshoot that?

    Start by telling readers the make&model of your printer, and what cabling you are using to connect it.
    If you were connecting via AppleTalk, it is no longer supported, and you will need a different connection method. Readers can help you with that.
    Some printers will need updated Drivers for Snow Leopard. Some printers need to be deleted and re-added.

  • Im trying to instal snow leopard on my macbook. its running tiger 10.4.11 and it meets all the requirements  but it ask me for a restart to begin instalation progres, i restar it and it doesn't happen anything

    im trying to instal snow leopard on my macbook. its running tiger 10.4.11 and it meets all the requirements  but it ask me for a restart to begin instalation progres, i restar it and it doesn't happen anything. anyone can help me?

    I assume the restart was prompted during the installation process?
    First of all, that restart will take several minutes while files are moved into place and should not be interrupted.
    If it fails, or you have interrupted the process, you'll need to boot from the installer (hold down the C key on startup) and use Disk Utility to erase the drive prior to continuing the installation.
    That will wipe all data on the drive, though, so if you didn't make a backup before beginning the upgrade, you'll need to get your data off safely before proceeding. That may likely require the use of another Mac to access yours in Target Disc Mode.

  • Can I install Snow Leopard on the new 27" iMac on a separate partition and be able to run either operating systems?

    I was able to do this on my older 27" iMac (2010).  I could then hold down the Option key on startup and run either Mountain Lion or Snow Leopard.  I've tried using a Time Machine backup, Carbon Copy Cloner, installing SL from another computer's dvd drive - all to with no success.
    Does anyone have any other ideas?

    Your 2010 most likely came with SL originally. Your new iMac does not and you have never been able to boot a Mac with an OS version older than what it came with. So, if yours came with Mountain lion, you are stuck with that. The only exceptions have been machines that were manufactured right around the time a new OS was being introduced - those could possibly still boot from the older system.

  • I recently installed Snow Leopard but now I want to install Lion but it states that I do not have 2GB RAM space. How do I upgrade???

    I have an iMac with only 1 GB of memory. I need 2 GB to upgrade to Lion. How do I purchase more memory? What will it cost me?
    Thanks.

    Order it online: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/iMac
    You can get 4 GB for about $35, depending on what model you have.

  • Will it work to un-install Snow Leopard (booting from original disks) and then reinstall, then upgrade without erasing hard drive on iMac?

    I have both a bootable backup exernal hard drive and the original system disks.  I have read on these support pages that you cannot get snow leopard freshly installed without erasing the whole whole drive since the original installation disks are older than the current updated version. I have also read here that it is possible to get the system newly installed (though it's wise to have a back up of the rest of your files).  I need to know which can work.  Is there an un-install function after booting from a different source?   If I can get the system filess off the main hard drive and then install Snow Leopard from my original disks, then go through the upgrades, and end up with the rest of my files intact, that would be wonderful.  I have all the adobe design premium software on the system with their updates and would like to not spend hours and hours restoring it all.   And since I don't know where all the little bits and pieces of the Adobe programs get installed, perhaps it won't work anyway?
    thanks,
    Kahty

    I have read on these support pages that you cannot get snow leopard freshly installed without erasing the whole whole drive since the original installation disks are older than the current updated version.
    That is incorrect. You can install an older version of the same OS over itself. With Snow Leopard and later, unless you intentionally select to erase the drive, the OS removes and replaces all remnants of the current OS and leaves all of your third party apps, personal files and settings intact.
    I have also read here that it is possible to get the system newly installed (though it's wise to have a back up of the rest of your files).
    That is the correct information.
    Is there an un-install function after booting from a different source?   If I can get the system files off the main hard drive and then install Snow Leopard from my original disks, then go through the upgrades, and end up with the rest of my files intact, that would be wonderful.
    No, there is no way to remove just the OS files from a drive. At least, not in any manner you could call easy. There are thousands of hidden files and folders related to UNIX. Many apps won't even run correctly, or at all, if they're not on the same drive you are starting up to. So trying to separate your third party apps from the drive the OS is on is not a good idea.
    I have all the adobe design premium software on the system with their updates and would like to not spend hours and hours restoring it all.
    If your end goal is to simply get the contents of the external drive onto a new internal drive in a bootable form, you can use Disk Utility to clone the drive, or use one of two excellent third party apps; SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner.

  • Just installed snow leopard and office for mac - now my computer is running very slow.  Why?

    I've recently installed snow leopard and office for mac - now my computer is running very slowly - why?

    Which version of office did you install? If its 2008 the early version had some problems and you will want to update the office software to i think it is 12.3.0
    If it is 2011 you might want to do the same thing.

  • Installing Snow Leopard on Mac Mini Server

    I recently purchased a 1Tb 4Gb Mac Mini Server, running Snow Leopard Server. I want to use it as a central repository for my other macs: storing music, movies, backup, screen sharing (it's hooked up to my 32-inch TV) but I also want to be able to run Logic Pro, Ableton Live, etc. I also have a Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard Client, which contains all of my programs, plugins, data, etc. I realize that Snow Leopard Server does not have migration assistant, so I have tried to install a retail copy of Snow Leopard onto the secondary drive, but when it gets to the restart stage it crashes every time. I think this is a firmware issue, because the Mac Mini has a different hardware configuration to other macs. I do not have access to the mid-2010 Snow Leopard Client for Mac Mini which would allow me to install Client and use migration assistant from there. What I would like to know is:
    1/ Can I manually migrate my plugins/settings/programs to the server? If so, how? What is most crucial (and what I don't understand) is copying my audio units and audio programs (e.g. Logic Pro, Pro Tools). Because of the firmware issue, it seems more difficult than cloning my MacBook Pro to a time machine HDD and running from there... I would really like to purely clone my MacBook Pro, because I am very happy with the way it is set up.
    2/ Should I just wait for OSX Lion (July/August) which seems to be a combined server/client os, install that on both machines and run migration assistant from there?
    3/ Is there another method I can use? Something I am overlooking?
    Thanks in Advance.

    Thanks for your reply. I talked to the Apple Support again and they told me the server edition could only be used on that OS and if I wanted to use it as something else I could chose not to use the server applications, or buy a regular Mac mini. And that was all they said. Interesting since it was one of their sales persons who told me I could install Snow Leopard.
    Anyway, I got hold of a client disc and it all worked like a charm.

  • Re-installing Leopard after installing Snow Leopard?

    I recently installed Snow Leopard, but want to re-install Leopard instead without losing all of my current data (Applications, folders...aka everything) - is this possible?

    First, note that above I said: "final step is to do an erase and install of Sno." Where I said Sno, I meant Leo.
    You can do your reinstall of Leo more simply than I mentioned before. What I was am trying to do is to give you the best chance of moving back to Leo successfully without having to reinstall your apps. What I was going to tell you about is complex.
    To avoid the complexity, here is what I recommend. Make the Sno clone I mentioned before for safety and to have easy access to your data for future drag and drop. Now, just do an erase and install of Leo on your internal drive; reinstall your apps by hand; and drag and drop you data into the appropriate folders on your new install.
    If you don't want to reinstall your apps by hand, then I'd recommend that you go the more complex route I started describing. I am hoping that you don't have so many apps that you won't choose the more complex procedure. I apologize for the confusion I probably have created. Just let me know which way you would prefer to proceed.

  • Remove Lion, Install Snow Leopard

    I'm not sure if this is a Lion question, a Snow Leopard question, or a hardware question, but here goes.  If I buy a brand new Mac (let's say one of the new MacBook Airs or 13" MacBook Pro) with the most recent hardware and firmware refinements, will I be able to wipe Lion and install Snow Leopard and expect everything to work?  Or does the newest hardware require me to use Lion?

    Probably not if you buy one now. I just tried. Set up a disk partition on my new computer to install Snow Lepoard. Got the installation disk from an apple store and it won't install--was told this might be the case in forums and at the apple store.  On the models issued a few months ago it would have been possible.  I got the message:
    "You cant use this version of the application Install Mac OSX with this version of MAc )SX (You have install MAcOS X 23.1.1). 
    I assume you are tyring to do this to use programs (e.g. quicken for windows) that don't run on Lion. I have been trying to do this for three days--even installed Windows and Parallel to run Quicken Windows but the data does not transfer properly (despite what Quicken says) and the soft ware in unusable. Last ditch solution is to buy a second small used computer that runs Snow Leopard for all my programs that don't run on LIon.  What a drag!!

  • After installing Snow Leopard the speech application keeps quitting

    Hi everyone, I have recently installed Snow Leopard on my 06 iMac, installed all the latest updates.
    I then found that when I try to set up voice activation application: system preference–speech.
    The application opens for a few seconds and then unexpectedly quit. As I'm studying I use Acrobat reader
    to read documents back to myself. I am not sure if it has anything to do with my machine being a 32-bit machine, and Snow Leopard
    is mainly a 64-bit operating system. But I also find that the Read aloud option in the Acrobat reader does not work
    and causes acrobats also unexpectedly quit.
    Does anyone have any idea what is going on?
    Thank you

  • What is the difference between OSX 10.6 and 10.6 server? I need to install Snow Leopard in a Parallels VM and it only allows 10.6 server. Will Rosetta work if I use the server edition?

    I MUST use an app that was discontinued which requires Rosetta, yet I also want to upgrade to Mavericks. I was told that Parallels and VMWare Fusion both support running Snow Leopard SERVER, but not Snow Leopard. Two questions: Will Rosetta run on Snow Leopard Server when it is running inside the Parallels/Fusion/whatever virtual machine which is running under Mavericks? The second question is: Is there any problem with running any specific software in Snow Leopard Server when it is set up this way?

    The problem with client as virtualised OS is the Apple EULA, not a technical one.
    I don't know if it works, or you're just not meant to do it.
    PS. If you download or have Snow Leopard DVD, you can install Rosetta in later OSs, certainly Lion and Mountain Lion and Mavericks.
    insert your Snow Leopard disc, open the Optional Installs folder on that disc, and double-click the Optional Installs.mpkg package. The Installer will open and you’ll be prompted to click Continue a couple of times and then choose a destination for the installation. Choose your startup volume and click Continue yet again.
    In the Custom Install on “nameofvolume” window that appears, enable the Rosetta option and click Continue. In the next window click Install to do just that.
    NB/ I don't have any old software to test to see if it actually makes it work!
    WRONG TWICE!
    Bad idea to attempt to install Rosetta into Lion, Mt. Lion or Mavericks and good luck trying to remove it after that attempt.  Result: NO powerpc app will run after that installation and you will have to complete a wipe of your hard drive and a complete pre-Rosetta install to get rid of Rosetta!
    It was a common Urban Myth that the Snow Leopard EULA prohibited its virtualization in Lion or Mt. Lion on a Mac.  That myth has been largely debunked over the last two years.
    In addition, Apple's release of Snow Leopard Server at a 95% discount ($20) has rendered the issue largely moot!
    OP: what application are we talking about here?
    For example here is the long beloved powerpc application Appleworks running in Snow Leopard Server installed in Parallels for use in a post Lion world:
