Installing Make Command without Snow Leopard disk

I need to have the make command again, and it's not part of the default Snow Leopard install it seems. I've found solutions to re-acquire 'make' if I had the disk, but I no longer do.
Can someone tell me how to get 'make' installed without the disk? Is there a download somewhere?

Hi There
Make along with GCC and other developer tools can be downloaded from http://developer.apple.com/ they all come bundled together in an install package with Xcode.
Hope this helps

No response when installing snow leopard disk

I bought a "wiped" machine. I install the snow leopard disk I bought and hold down "c" key and all I get is the white screen with the grey apple logo. disk stops spinning and that is it. Help!!! it is a birthday gift and I am running out of time.

so I bought the snow leopard Mac OS X disk (per a chat with the online apple sales folks)
Then it's almost a certainty you have a retail disk, which is good.
I think the computer was just wiped improperly
No matter how badly, or incorrectly a hard drive was erased, there's nothing to stop the Mac from booting to a DVD, other than the following...
(or the age of the computer and install disk are incompatible).
That would be the most likely reason at this point. Without knowing exactly what Mac model you purchased, this is a guess, but Snow Leopard will not boot to any Mac with a PowerPC CPU. It requires Intel.
Somewhere on your Mac, there will be a visible serial number. Do not post it on these forums. Go to this site and enter it in the open text field. It will tell you exactly what model Mac you have, and its hardware configuration. Please note here what model Mac you have and CPU type.

A magnet fell on my macbook "late 2007 series black" and it stopped working. When i start my macbook up it sits on the white screen. i tried inserting the snow leopard disk to do a clean install but the disk ejects and all i see is the pointer. i even bought a new hard drive to do the clean install but the same thing happens. Please Help

Your problem is not Boot Camp, in fact, is your optical drive. Win XP requires indeed sp2, but also the internal drive, does not work from external optical drive.
For other possible tricks, please use the appropriate Boot Camp forum, not here. Mac OS X may be installed from both external and internal optical drive and/or internal/external partition of a disk, any disk. Windows is not so generous.

When I am re-installing the Mac OSX snow leopard onto an older Mac I run into the window that says select the disk where you want to install Mac OSX but nothing is there to select

I am trying to re-install the Mac OSX snow leopard onto an older I mac with a new hard drive. I run into the "select the disk "where you want to install Mac OSX but there is nothing in the window to select. Any advice?

After you install a new hard drive, you need to boot to another drive to initialize it to MAC OS Extended (journaled) format and create the partition(s) on the drive. You do this using Disk Utility. Otherwise, the mac operating install process doesn't see a formatted disk to install to.

I used my snow leopard disk to erase my hard drive. Now I want to eject the snow leopard disk to clean install from the lion boot disk I made. How do I eject the snow leopard disk?

I used my snow leopard disk to erase my hard drive. Now I want to eject the snow leopard disk to clean install from the lion boot disk I made. How do I eject the snow leopard disk? It is the start up disk and I can't figure out how to get it out of the computer so I can put my lion boot disk in. Thanks

turn the mac all the way off. turn the mac on by pressing the power button. as soon as the apple logo appears, pres and hold your mouse button(trackpad mouse clicker etc...) until the CD comes out.

Mac OS X can't be installed on this computer snow leopard

I just bought a new iMac and want to give my old iMac to my sister. It was bought during the leopard days and I upgraded it to Snow Leopard. I started up my iMac and went into Disk Utilities. I verified and repaired disk permissions. Then I went to verify Disk. This is where all the problems occured. It stops verifying and a pop-up says "Disk Utility sopped verifying "Macintosh HD" "This disk needs to be repaired. Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disc), and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk.
So I find the only Snow Leopard disk I have, which happens to be the one from my wife's MacBook Pro, I put in and hold down the "C" key until I get to the installer. I use English as my language, then another pop-up states the Mac OS X can't installed on this computer, I can either restart or install from a back "Time Machine". I didn't want to install, I just wanted to get to the Disk Utilities feature, but it is greyed out, along with everything else.
So here I sit lost on what to do next. Do I reinstall from Time Machine, or do I need to find the original Snow Leopard that I bought for my iMac?
Any Answers to this would be great.
Thanks.

New Mac's come with Lion and no boot disks, but a hold command r boot recovery partition.

Silly Apple needs to fix that.

Grey disks are machine model specific, surprised it gave you the limited options it did.
Don't use that disk for anything except the machine intended for it.

Depends upon the opertaing system your now using.
You say you "just bought a new iMac" that means like in the last week and Lion has been out for months now.
So first check under the Apple menu, Snow Leopard is 10.6.x and Lion is 10.7
If you have Snow, you need to order replacement disks from Apple with your serial number (apple menu > about this mac >get more info)
If you have Lion you need to learn some new things.
If it's 10.7 then it's Lion and it doesn't come with disks, a recovery partition that requires a strong reliable fast internet connection to download and reinstall Lion, but it has Disk Utility and can repair your Lion OS partiition, however if the problem is more serious then you need to try to make a Lion Recovery USB and boot from that to reinstall both Lion and the Recovery Partition.
You can thank Apple for adding another layer of complexity in their quest to remove the optical drives
Please make sure to have your data on a storage drive in addition to TimeMachine so you can do what you need, move the data to another machine.
Good luck with your studies.

How can I install Mac OS X Snow Leopard on Mac OS X Tiger?

Hello. Can someone tell me how I can install Mac OS X Snow Leopard on Mac OS X Tiger? I have the disk, but when I open the installer, I get a message saying that Snow Leopard could not be installed on my computer and it could only be installed on a Intel-Based Mac. This is a PowerPC Mac, so that makes sense.
So, I'm trying to ask how to make my Mac an Intel-Based Mac so I could install Snow Leopard. Or if I can't do that, I need to know how to install Snow Leopard some other way. Please help.

Just an FYI, the Mac App Store was introduced with Mac OS X 10.6.6. However the rest of what you say is accurate.
10.6.8 is required if you want to upgrade certain Macs beyond 10.7.5 without having to reformat the drive you are installing the operating system on and without having to install some version of 10.7 first.
One can actually install 10.7 or later if you maintain an original copy of the full installer of the operating system in question for your personal use without having to have the prerequisite operating system installed, if the hardware supported it. But that's a discussion for another forum.
For HFTaylor,
Consider buying a used or refurbished Mac with an Intel CPU depending on your needs. Read this tip about the migration of data from PowerPC to Intel before proceeding:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295
and see this tip about used and refurbished Macs*:

Can I repair a Snow Leopard disk from a Tiger machine?

I had the hard drive go down on a MacPro with an Intel processor running OS 10.6.4. When I try to boot, it gets to the Apple screen and shuts down. Running the disk utility from the installation disk gives me the error:
Checking HFS Plus Volume
Invalid Extent Entry
Volume Check Failed
I pulled the drive and connected it with a USB adapter to a spare Mac G5 with a PowerPC processor running Tiger 10.4.11. I can read the disk on the G5 with Tiger. Disk utility on the G5 gives me the same error when trying to repair the disk.
Are there any utilities out there I can run on Tiger to repair the Snow Leopard disk? Free if possible?
Or a good OSX utility that will let me image the drive to another hard drive? This is a production machine in a printing environment and I need to get it back up and running as soon as possible.
Thx...
Carvelli

I could not repair the disk from the command line either. It gave me the same error messages. I did not try Carbon Copy Cloner...yet. I had an extra 250GB drive which I re-installed 10.6.4.
I can bring up the old drive on the USB adapter, so I am going to try the Mac Migration Assistant. Which I've never done before. Does anyone know if it bring over all the applications during the migration? Or will I have to re-install all the applications over again?

How can i install mac os x snow leopard on Lion?

You cannot. Either you erase the drive on which you installed Lion then reinstall Snow Leopard or you create another partition on the drive and install Snow Leopard on that partition so you can dual boot.
Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1. 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.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

How can I reload Lion without Snow Leopard?

Hello,
My early 2008 macbook pro had a hard drive failure and I had to buy a new drive. I have a full system back-up on an external drive.
My problem is, I only have the OSX Leopard disk, and cannot find the Snow leopard disk that I upgraded to before Lion. Without Snow Leopard, I cannot use the App center to get my system back up to date.
My other issue is that Leopard will not allow me to re-install my system back-up, possibly due to it being out of date.
Is it at all possible to load Lion some other way without Snow Leopard on my computer? Does Apple even sell Snow Leopard anymore?
I know this is a lot of questions, and I thank you for any insight.
-Steve

That's good news. Yes, you want to first erase the drive using DU:
Drive Preparation for Lion
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives.
3. Select your OS X volume, usually Macintosh HD, from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button.
Quit DU and return to the main menu. Select the option to restore a Time Machine backup and click on the Continue button. Follow instructions.

Snow Leopard Disk Requirement for BootCamp

Hi,
I'm installing Windows 7 (64-bit) on my Mac, and I was reading over the "Windows 7 FAQ's" on Apple's support site. I was a bit confused when I saw this: +"Windows 7 requires Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard and the Boot Camp 3.1 Update. For complete system requirements information, see this article."+ I got my iMac in September of 2008, and I only received an OSX Leopard 10.5.2 install disk. However, I upgraded my iMac to Snow Leopard, when it came out the next year and I am running 10.6.4 right now. I have the Snow Leopard disk, that I bought from the Apple store for $29. So, is this the disk they talked about on their website, or should I use the 10.5 disk that came with my Mac?
Thank You So Much!!!
iMac Specs:
20" Screen
3 GB RAM
250GB Hardrive
Intel Core 2 Duo
Mac OSX 10.6.4

Hi,
the Snow Leopard DVD you have bought also contains the BootCamp 3.0 drivers needed for installing WIndows 7
After you have installed these drivers you can then download and install the 3.1 driver update for Windows 7 form here http://support.apple.com/downloads/#bootcamp
Make sure to get the correct 64-bit package.
And since it is a .exe file you have to install it while in Windows.

Stefan

Installation error with Snow Leopard disk

I'm trying to install Mac OS X snow leopard but when the installation bar reaches 15 minutes remaining, an error occurs and I am told to restart and try again. How do I fix this?

Greetings Leila,
What is the exact text of the error message?
How much available hard drive space do you have currently?
Make sure you have all your important data backed up. Something you should be doing regularly but especially when you are making a major change to your computer like a software update or in this case a software upgrade: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
Use a soft cotton cloth and make sure the SL disk is nice and clean.
Follow this article to boot to the SL disk and run Disk Utility Repair Disk to repair the drive: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
Once the repair completes successfully restart the computer and attempt an install again.
Hope that helps!

Re-use Snow Leopard disk after Lion upgrade?

I upgraded from OSX 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard (single license) on one of my two iMacs, and then installed Lion. Is my Snow Leopard disk now liberated to make the pre-Lion upgrade on the second computer, since it is no longer operating on the first one? All of the hardware meets the upgrade requirements.

Simple answer; yes.
As long it's not being used on more than computer at a time, you're within the terms of the licence.

Why does my MacBook Pro not boot up with the Snow Leopard Disk?

I have erased the entire hard drive on a 2011 macbook pro that had snow leopard on it. I was corrupted. I not insert my Snow Leopard Disk and the machine will not boot. I chose target mode to erase the hard drive from my mac book pro with Mt. Lion on it.
Thank uou for any help,
Ken

Target mode? Is there a second computer involved? Why not insert the Snow Leopard disc in the computer on which you wish to install and hold down the C key to boot from it?
If the disc came with a different computer it will not boot another model. Retail discs also may not boot all model computers, even those that came with the same major version. For example, some MBPs came with 10.6.6 but a retail disc may only be 10.6.3.

OS X Lion installed, want OS X Snow Leopard on External HD

I upgraded to OS X Lion (which I love), but I would like to install OS X Snow Leopard on an external hard drive. Unfortunately after inserting the Snow Leopard disk, I am receiving the message: "You cannot install this OS with the current OS you are running"
Would restarting the comp to boot from the Snow Leopard disk work?
If anyone can help, that would be great!

Install Snow Leopard
1. 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.
2. After DU loads select the external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. When formatting is complete quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard. Be sure you select the external drive as the installation target.
