Install snow leopard on macbook air with lion?

i´m trying to install snow leopard on my macbook air from a macbook with os x 10.7
there is no remote install app anymore!
Any ideas???

What? If you have a MacBook with Lion how are you using it to install Snow Leopard (which you don't have) on a MacBook Air?
Or is your subject correct and you have purchased a MacBook Air that came with Lion and you are trying to install Snow Leopard on it?

Installing snow leopard on a partition with lion as the native os

I want to use quicken on my lion macbook pro. i tried installing snow leopard into a partition but can't install it. i can't start from the install disk and neither can i just designate the partition as the destination. thanks

Joerel- You may not be able to boot that Mac with that DVD but it should be able to boot from a fully-updated version of Snow Leopard + Combo Update (preferably 10.6.8v2) since that model originally shipped with Snow Leopard. Getting Snow Leopard onto it might be an insurmountable challenge; it depends on your available resources.
You're going to need a Mac that can boot from that DVD or already has 10.6.8v2 installed. You should then be able to clone that other Mac's boot volume over to the partition you set aside on your newer Mac's internal hard drive.
Remember that you will need to use the Combo Updater, not the "delta" update from Software Update, if you want to be sure this will work. The reason for this is that you need to be sure the components for the newer Mac are included in the OS, which the original DVD install obviously does not have and the "delta" updates may not have.

Install Snow Leopard on MacBook Air

Does anyone know if there are any complications upgrading to Snow Leopard on a MacBook Air via the remote disk facility?

I am installing Snow Leopard on a colleague's MacBook Air via the DVD/CD sharing and the update seems to be taking forever. When I started, the duration of the install was estimated at 41 minutes....well, 3 hours later I am looking at 39 minutes remaining...
Has anyone seen this happen and if so - what did you do? How long did it take to install?
One detail - when I first started the installation, the installer said that the MacBook Air disk/volume needed to be repaired and that SL installation was going to do that. Perhaps that added to the length of the installation?

Reinstalling Snow Leopard on MacBook Air with SuperDrive. Won't boot up.

It won't boot up, and is stuck cycling between gray screen of death and what appears to be the "off" position.
Elsewhere, people seem to make it to the gray screen, and it freezes. My situation, however, cycles between that and the black screen of "off." It's been doing this for over six hours. This isn't normal, right?
Other people have talked about a progress bar freezing at 32% or something like that. I, however, don't even GET to a progress bar. Boo.
What can I do? Will force-powering-down be bad?

This is a Fault of the newer Mac's Power management scheme. There is a LONG Thread on it somewhere on this forum.
Hold down the power button for 10 seconds then let it up. Then wait a few seconds and press it again. The system should start back up. If it doesn't then you have some type of hardware problem and you need to take it to Apple to be fixed or replaced.

Migrating to new macbook air with Lion, entourage 2008 doesn't work

I bought a new macbook air with lion installed. trying to migrate data from my old macbook with snow leopard. Got most data across, and installed my most frequently used applications:
- office 2008: most office apps 2008 work, if buggily. entourage not, see below.
- firefox (hangs up when downloading updates)
- dropbox (ditto)
<these two problems may have something to do with internet proxy settings, will try to sort that out later>
MAIN ISSUE:
entourage wont open at all. so for now i'm using my old comp for e-mail and the new for the rest.
MY OPTIONS:
please advise (1) what you think is the most time & nerve-saving option (2) how to do it smoothly:
A) try to get office 2008 to work.
when trying to open entourage, it tells me this version (office 2008 12.0) cannot open this entourage database (12.3)
error for other apps says there is a problem with database, and rebuilding several times did not fix it.
would have to start with updating to the version i used last (office 2008 12.3). Problem is the ms office updater does not seem to work on lion. the first update does not open, says it does not support powermac.
B) buying office 2011, and migrating entourage 2008 to outlook.
I suppose the best way to do this is to install office 2011 on the old mac first, then on the new one, then move database, right?
C) migrating from entourage 2008 to lion mail.
best way to do this would be to import entourage email to leopard mail, then move those files to the new mac? and move entourage addresses into the mac addressbook. my major concern is that i have a lot of mailing rules, and a fair bunch of notes. a lot. i;d rather not have to recreate those by hand. Is there a way to import rules from entourage to mail?
i also habe a huge backstock of mail, over 10,000, and a correspondigly huge addressbook (within entourage). i'm ready to abandon entourage at last (though i used it for a decade), but i want to have my addresses, my rules, and at least the last 3 yrs of emails. i get about 130 mails a day so i need plenty of automatic organizing capability.
i never had issues my old mac/snow leopard, i just ran out of ram and the one usb broke, so i figured it's time. kinda sorry i did not just get the usb repaired and extra ram. what a hassle these migrations always are.
cheers!

Yes, repairing first is a sound idea. In my experience I've only moved from Entourage to the OS X applications or from one version of Entourage to another. In the latter I've been able to just copy over the Microsoft User Data folder. But I have not used Entourage for quite some time.
Microsoft don't make it quite that easy to migrate to their own applications, but the import from a 'tidy' .rge file works well, I had a lot of issues with the first few I migrated but after performing a database repair prior to import all proceeded smoothly.

Can't install Snow Leopard on Macbook Pro MC700 - 3 beeps after installer starts.

can't install Snow Leopard on Macbook Pro MC700 - 3 beeps after installer starts (10.6.3 retail). Lion installer starts normally. What's a problem?

I have the same trouble, I try installing rEFI but when I try start my Pro from DVD doesn't recognize.
Can I start from USB Memory? with files from SL DVD? or have some thing else?
I have original DVD of SL 10.6.3, if I buy the latest stable version, can I install? or the EFI firmware with Lion change again?
I try to use Lion, more than one week but I can't, and some app that I use for my profession, doesn't work, I really need downgrade to SL.
Really Thanks for any help.

Installing Snow Leopard on MacBook Pro primo 2011

How do I install Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro primo 2011?
It came pre-installed with Lion.
When I put in my Snow Leopard DVD I just get a kernel panic and must restart.
Help! I can't use Lion on my university so I need Snow Leopard.

Hello,
In response to eww, and others.
I have a MacBook Pro 15" early 2011, shipped with Lion.
I installed Snow Leopard 10.6.7 with a grey disk from an other MacBook Pro 15" early 2011, shipped with SnowLeopard 10.6.7!
It works except that the trackpad isn't recognised correctly. In System preferences, if I click on TrackPad, I don't have the full options, but it's waiting for an external bluetooth trackpad. So I can't have the multi touch options.
If I click on mouse, instead of waiting for an bluetooth mouse, i can set the speed of the mouse with two cursors.
Do you think that an other instal can fix the problem? Maybe by apple care as eww said, or with a genius in an Apple Store.
Thanks

Cannot install snow leopard in macbook pro early 2011. disk is rejected. what do I do?

Unable to install snow leopard in macbook pro early 2011. When I put in the disk, the computer does not accept it. What can I do?

lord1908,
some Early 2011 MacBook Pros originally came with Snow Leopard installed, and some originally came with Lion installed. If yours originally came with Snow Leopard installed, then you should be able to install Snow Leopard from its model-specific grey Mac OS X Install DVD. (The white retail Snow Leopard DVD can’t be used with it; it was made for use with earlier models, which originally came with either Tiger or Leopard installed.) If yours originally came with Lion installed, then it won’t accept any Snow Leopard DVD; instead, you’d be able to use OS X Internet Recovery to download and install its original version of Lion from Apple’s servers.

How to install Snow Leopard on Macbook Pro? keep getting msg- cannot install Internal HD is used for Time Machine- this was reset to external HD and still get msg?

At some point, your internal HD was selected for use as Time Machine backups, and a Backups.backupdb folder was created at the top level. So OSX thinks you're trying to install it on the same drive as your backups.
Open your internal HD with the Finder (you won't find it via a Spotlight or Finder search) and delete that folder.

this is not fun.

You are not going to be able to run your old system from the backup on this old computer as the hardware is incompatible.
You need to get a new computer or a refurbished one.
