How to install Snow Leopard on a Mac with busted dvd drive

My problem is that my Mac Mini doesn't read all CDs or DVDs - including the new Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard that I just bought. From the support articles, I figured that I could install remotely, as you do if you have a MacBook Air. I couldn't get it to work, until I read this article:
http://jasonevangelho.com/2008/11/02/how-to-really-enable-remote-disc-dvd-drive- sharing-non-air-macbook/
All it took was two commands in Terminal.
I hope this will be helpful for others too.

Snow Leopard (SL) upgrade in my mac mini failed part way through and when I tried to re-do the upgrade, it would give me a blue screen (via DVI to my HD TV).
So, following the advice I found elsewhere, I did the following:
Booted up my 24" iMac, inserted SL disk into iMac.
Turned off mini, connected mini to iMac w/firewire cable.
Started mini and pressed and held the T key on the mini keyboard until it mounted on my iMac (seen in Finder) as a hard drive.
Started SL installation icon (iMac) and indicated that I wanted to install on the mini hard drive.
It went through a number of steps, then asked AGAIN which drive I wanted to install SL.
Then took quite a long time (upwards of 1.5 hours) to install, and the estimated time left during the install would sometimes appear frozen at 40 minutes, but the blue bar kept extending indicating it was making progress.
I was able to then boot SL on my iMac off the mini hard drive and configure everything (making sure that back to my Mac/mobile me was up and running and the proper in home network was correct).
Then "shut down" the iMac (which was still running off the mini hard drive), then powered down the mini.
Moved the mini out to it's normal place and reconnected to the HD TV and started it up and everything was perfect.
BTW, as many people know, if you're having video out difficulties with your mac mini, it's nice to be able to go "back to my mac" via another iMac to adjust the configuration. It's saved me a couple of times.

I had iLife pre-installed on my aluminium Macbook 2009 with OSX Leopard on it. My hard drive broke but got most of the info off it and just installed snow Leopard on to a new drive and then downloaded and installed Mountain Lion over it. Now I don't have iLife anymore. How do I get it back?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Mac OS X doesn't come with iLife applications, so you have to install them manually after installing Mac OS X.
Insert the Applications disc or Mac OS X Install Disc 2 DVD and install iLfe applications. Then, open  > Software Update, and install the latest update. If you want, you can purchase iMovie, GarageBand and iPhoto in the App Store, so you will get the most recent version

Question about installing Snow Leopard on a Mac Mini

I'm in the process of installing Snow Leopard on a Mac Mini, but it's taking forever. It's been installing for well over 2 hours now and still indicates an hour left to install. Is this unusual? I'm getting a little concerned. What do I do if I have to cancel the install? Do I have to start from scratch again?

How about this:
1. If necessary start up from the external HD & verify that everything is working right & all your files are intact on it.
2. Clone from the external to internal HD.
3. Start up from the internal HD & verify as in #1 that everything works as expected.
4. Install Snow Leopard on the external HD. If that completes successfully, restart from it & verify as above.
5.a. If that all checks out, clone the external back to the internal HD & you are done.
5.b. If that fails, you still have the internal HD with your working copy of 10.5.8 to use while you try to figure out what is going wrong.
The main benefit of this is you always have one working installation to fall back on no matter what happens.

How to install snow leopard on tiger

I need to update my MacBook Pro form tiger to snow leopard. How should I do? Thanks.

You need to purchase Snow Leopard from Apple's online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.] Ask for a Sales Representative.
Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
Snow Leopard from eBay
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
I suggest that before you install Snow Leopard you make a backup of your current installed system, then erase the drive and make a clean installation of Snow Leopard.

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

Anyone install Snow Leopard on a 13" MacBook Pro and have any issues?

Just wondering if anyone is this forum installed Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro 13" and what occured if any?
just want to know to really think before i upgrade.... getting really tense about this after seeing all these problems that are not only happening to third party apps but to the acctual system and native apps (safari, itunes, etc) Kinda Scared... i know Apple is a great company and does great things never imagined and im a big fan for 6 years when i was little, so i was surprised to see so many problems after release...

I am having a similar issue. I have upgraded my Mac Pro without any issues. However, my MB Pro has told me that the install was successful and was to restart. Upon restart the machine passes the initial boot (Apple Logo and Spinner) then it presents a black screen and will not complete the boot to the login screen. The fan is running, if I close the lid it tries to sleep, but does not appear to sleep. It is on and the light is solid (no pulsing for sleep).
I booted in verbose and the messages all looked good and then it posted the last messages to fast to see and it went to black screen.
Very Frustrating....

How do I install Snow Leopard as a partition with Yosemite on a 2001 Mac Mini?

I have owned Mac's on and off since the 80's. I currently own (myself and my kids) a 2008 MBP, iPhone 4 and 4s, 2 old iPhone 3's, just purchased a 2011 Mac Mini and iPhone 6, and my work-from-home computer is a 4 month old MBP.
Several years ago, I upgraded the 2008 MBP to Mountain Lion. Then the one and only game that I have played since around 2001, Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds, wouldn't work on Mountain Lion so I successfully added a 50GB partition and reinstalled Snow Leopard and the game has worked great ever since.
Recently, I gave my son that 2008 MBP, so I purchased the Mac Mini (i5 dual, 8GB memory, 750 HDD) and immediately upgraded it to Yosemite. I proceeded to carve out a 50GB partition and have tried several times to install Snow Leopard to no avail.
After creating the 50GB partition, I rebooted, and held down the option key so I could then have the option install the Snow Leopard onto that 50GB partition - but it just keeps freezes up on me. I even went so far as to try to copy the 50GB off the 2008 MBP onto the Mac Mini and that (understandably) didn't work either.
While I know enough to cause trouble, I am completely flummoxed with this. I've run many searches and haven't been able to find a solution.
Can someone please walk me through the steps to make this work? When I do restart, I don't even see that 50GB drive like I do when I restart the 2008 MBP so I suspect something may be wrong from the get go. In Disk Utility, it shows the 2 partitions just fine, but not on reboot/restart with the option key held down.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks very much for the quick reply. I figured it would something that simple. Like I said, I only know enough to cause trouble. LOL
Thanks again, Guess I need to find a new game to play. LOL

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.

Installing Snow Leopard on "clean" Mac

Hey.
I'm new to mac, I bought my Macbook Pro in late Aug 2009.
I have the "normal" Leopard witch was installed when I bought the mac.
I have been using PC for 15 yrs soo I'm not really familiar to how thing works in Mac so I hope someone out there can help me.
I have bought the 9 Euro upgrade dvd for Snow Leopard and I'm planning to upgrade my mac from Leopard to Snow Leopard (heard it was fast). The thing is, does it "just" upgrade the Leopard to Snow Leopard or does it make a "clean" installation (PC terms) witch erase the Leopard and all my files and then install the Snow Leopard?
I wish to have a completely clean installation on Mac Snow Leopard, is this possible with the 9 Euro Upgrade DVD?
Please help me!

You can, but probably not by the method mentioned by Barney, if by the "9 Euro" DVD you mean a disc you got via the Snow Leopard Up-To-Date program. I am not certain about this, but it is likely that these discs will only allow you to update an existing installation of Leopard to Snow Leopard.
So, to do a clean install in this case, you would first restore your Mac to out-of-the-box state with the original Leopard discs that came with it, then use your up-to-date disc to upgrade that to Snow Leopard.

Installed Snow Leopard now my Mac wont power up

I have a Mac mini 1.66 it's three years old. Before installing Snow Leopard I haven't had any problems. After installing it my mac won't start. It shows no sign of power even though it's plugged in. Any suggestions?? Was it just it's time and it happened to coincide with the installation?

Your suggestion is essentially the same as one in the Apple SMC reset article, except for pressing the power button even if the Mini is off & waiting longer before trying to start it up. Pressing the power button after the Mini is already off will not 'drain any residual power' -- the SMC is the subsystem that (among other power-related functions) monitors the power button for presses & powers up or down the rest of the computer.
Because it has this function, it is important not to press the power button at the wrong time during the reset procedure, which can abort it.

I installed snow leopard on my mac mini and now it takes roughly 10 minutes to boot

I have a mac mini 1.5ghz with 1gb of ram installed.
I was running leopard with the combo update (10.5.8) but decided to install snow leopard as some of my apps need 10.6.8 to run.
The mac now boots past the grey screen with the apple logo then goes to a blue screen where i can move my mouse but nothing else.
This lasts for roughly 10-11 mins and then finally goes to my desktop and sure enough everything works perfectly and fast too.
It used to boot in around 30 seconds when i had leopard installed. If it can not be fixed i will be happy going back to leopard but i dont want to lose anything when i install it.
Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks

Mac OS X 10.6: If you see a blue screen at startup .
You may need to reinstall Snow Leopard:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow 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. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. 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.

How do I install Snow Leopard on a Macbook with a cracked screen?

I've been successfully using my 4 year old Macbook with an external monitor. Now that I'm trying to instal Snow Leopard when it gets to the first instal screen after I restart it, it will only show extended display, not mirror display. Nothing happens when I press f7 to try to get it to mirror display.

In System Preferences>Display there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the monitor and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen.
