I want to put my harddrive that runs on OS X 10.3.9 into an enclosure.

My harddive uses 10.3.9 and I want to put it into an external enclosure and boot from it with a new mac book that runs on Snow Leopard 10.6. Is this possible?? Has anyone done this? I mainly want to do it so I don't have to upgrade all my software right away when I buy the new computer. Please help. Thanks.

Actually, XP is older than Snow Leopard and will install on a Mac via Boot Camp.
So are numerous flavors of Linux.
While Kurt's statement is true for Mac OS, Boot Camp, and several virtualization engines offer more options*:

And as I say, you can run older applications, as long as they support Rosetta, and don't do anything that Snow Leopard doesn't like in terms of drivers. That's why I posted my FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/upgradefaq.html
As you may find some of your older applications have been tested with Snow Leopard, and will still work.

  • Using tables - wanting to create long table that runs from page to page

    I want to create a table to which I can add rows as I work (alphabetizing). The final table will end up being 6-7 pages long. Inserting a page break did nothing--all rows below where the page break is still disappear and do not go onto the next page. This is a Word feature that I'm hoping I can have on appleworks. Does it exist?
    I cannot put Word on this computer since I'm not running an OS high enough (I have 10.2.8)

    Cyndi:
    Just wondering if you found your answer. I am having the same issue. I did finally figure out after several days of reading searches how to add pages to your table which is in >Format > document > then select the box for how many pages you want to go down or across in the box to the lower right corner. Then you can insert cells by highlighting the row by holding option key as you drag across the row & in Table click insert cells. Hope that helps. You can determine whether the table is horz. or vert. in > file > page set up. Click on the image of the page/man that displays the orientation that most closely fits your needs.
    However, the problem that I'm continuing to have is that the >insert page break command does not appear to work in Tables. It remains greyed out no matter what I've tried. Short of trying some "tell" command that a fellow using 10.4. in Pages suggested. I'm in Appleworks 6 running on my iBook, as you are. I saw a reply from ms Peggy suggesting that there is some difficulty in getting that to work, and so far I would have to agree. Her idea was to add cells such that they would fall over the page break, which you can see using the >page view command in the Window drop down menu. But that would not be so neat with the lines running vertically from the top of page to the first box. I guess it could be squeezed down to the size of the "break". Is that all there is ?

  • I purchased a MS Surface. i want to put cs6 on that and I don't know how. Can anyone walk me through it. Contacting Adobe is impossible the worst customer service imaginable.

    Can anyone out there tell me how to find my serial number on the PS app? Where is it? 

    Hi Erik,
    I see your CS6 product registered under the Adobe ID you've used to log in here for the forum but I don't see the CS3. Do you have your CS3 serial, or is it possible it's under a different ID? I'll shoot you an email.

  • ICloud has my old Apple ID and is prompting for a password, but I want to put in the new id, I can't because it is grey and there is no edit option.  I'm prompted for a password to an account that doesn't exist

    iCloud has my old Apple ID and is prompting for a password, but I want to put in the new id, I can't because it is grey and there is no edit option.  I'm prompted for a password to an account that doesn't exist.  Anyone know what I can do to fix this or why this is happening.?  I had no issue putting in my new Apple ID everywhere else, I could sign out of the old and inactive account and then sign back in using my new and proper one.  However, after the update to 7.3 it did a whole welcome to yr iPad and a set up thing and it went to set up iCloud and had my old Apple ID in grey where I can't change or edit it, it wants the password, when I put in the old password, it say yr Apple ID is incorrect but yet it won't let me change it??????? Anyone???

    Sign out and back into your apple id from Settings>iTunes and App stores>(Your apple ID)>Sign Out and then sign in again with the new address. Close app store from running in the background (or restart the phone if your unsure how to do this). If when trying to update any apps they are still asking for the old apple ID, delete and re-install those apps.

  • I have several albums in a folder in iphoto.  The pictures are ordered, labeled, and dated. I want to put them on an external hard drive and have them stay in order w/labels. How can I do that?  Thank You

    I have several "albums" in a "folder "in iphoto.  The pictures, and videos (from a camera and smart phone) are ordered, labeled, and dated. I want to put them on an external harddrive. How can I do that and keep them in order, etc. What I have tried reorders them, separates them into the camera pictures, phone pictures, and movies. We are not sauvy in Apple or iphoto so this has been extremely frustrating for us.

    Files on disk have no order - they are given the order by the viewing program - finder on the Mac - using the finder you can view files by many different sorts - file name - date created - date moified - size - etc
    Deciede how you are going to sort them when you view them and then export them so that sort works for you
    Generally using an alpha sort to view and exporting using the sequential nameing option is the solution - see the user tip on exporting for the options available

  • I have the new 2011 macbook pro, with lion preinstalled. I want to change the harddrive. I have backed up everything on time machine. when i put my new blank hard drive in will the lion screen startup.How do i get the lion dmg when i am already using lion

    NicholasLiban -
       When you use the Lion restore as described, it does a fresh install on the hard drive that you can select at the beginning of the process.  This provides a complete install of the very latest version of Lion, including the recovery partition.  The drive that you choose for the installation destination winds up like what you would have on a brand new computer from Apple.

  • I want to put music on my iPhone but when I want to do it it keeps telling me that I can't to id with a sign. Please help me?

    I want to put music on my iPhone but when I want to do it it keeps telling me that I can't to id with a sign. Please help me?

    You will have to upgrade your operating system version and possibly your whole computer.  We cannot provide more information easily until we know more about your system.
    Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
    Apple does tell you about required equipment for the iPhone -- in 8 point medium gray type on a light gray box.   The Store associates kind of automatically assume everybody is running a new model computer and the one I met when we bought our iPhone had never seen a pre-2008 Mac and was somewhat puzzled why anybody would own such an antique.

  • Want to Create a Skin Button that runs JavaScript

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm using RoboHelp 9.
    I found a script (see below) that creates an email and automatically inserts the URL from where the user is sending the email.
    I pasted the script directly into the HTML of a page to test it worked – and it does.
    However, I now want to add a button to a skin that runs this javascript for each page, and have no idea where to begin to get the button to run correctly. I have been able to create a button on a skin, and can see that there are javascript options but that’s as far as it goes…
    <script type="text/javascript">/*<![CDATA[*/document.write("<a href=\"mailto:[email protected]?subject=ACME%20Application%20("+document.title+")&body="+location.href+"%0A%0A"+"\">Send Feedback</a>")/*]]>*/</script>
    Thanks everyone in advance.
    Emma

    Hi Peter,
    Thanks so much for your information - it has worked perfectly!
    The only thing that wasn't obvious in the snippet information was where to actually put the script text on the Action tab. At first I pasted the script into the Inline Javascript option in the bottom section. This did nothing so I pasted the script into the OnClick action option. This worked perfectly.
    Is it okay to leave the script text in the OnClick option?
    Thanks again.

    Try redemaing an itunes gift card.
    Otherwise,
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
