How do I install my old my 2010 Mac book pro/ Snow Leopard 10.6.3 program on a power Mac G5 Desktop

How do I install my old my 2010 Mac book pro/ Snow Leopard 10.6.3 program on a power Mac G5 Desktop

A PowerPC G4 or G5 can't be upgraded past 10.5.8. If you're trying to install an application and not a newer Mac OS X version, check its system requirements and use the original disk or download.

I am trying to install Lion OS X over Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8

I am trying to install Lion OS X over Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8
I get an error message: "There are currently other logged in users who must be logged out before you install Mac OS X".
I switch to log out other users and deleted everyone listed. It still says: ....
There is no one else left. I don't know what to do now.
Bill

I don't know what you mean by "I switch to log out other users and deleted everyone listed" -- if other user accounts are on your Mac you just need to log them out, not delete anything -- but it may be that there are other user accounts you aren't aware of on the Mac.
Are you an admin user? Did you originally set up this Mac?

Apple Snow Leopard installation

I installed Mountain Lion on my Mac, I had Snow Leopard. Slow now

I had Snow Leopard on my Mac and installed Mountian Lion. Installation went fine. Got Mail started on my computer since the program I had is no longer supported (lost all on it). Mail is showing the rainbow wheel a lot and "not responding" everyime. My computer is now running slow and seeing the rainbow wheel frequently. Any suggestions as to what I can do to help? Seriously wonderfing if I should go back to Snow Leopard? thank you!

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
Take these steps when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting.

ORIGINAL Mac OS X Snow Leopard into 2 imacs?

Can I install the same original dvd mac os x snow leopard in 2 imacs? Both of them has a mac os x 10.5.8.

There are two answers to that question:
1. Can both Macs run Snow Leopard?

2. Unless you have the family set, your install DVD is only licensed for ONE Mac.

Just installed windows 7 on my macbook (os x snow leopard) using bootcamp. I can't get back to my mac now. I've tried logging off of windows and shutting it down. when i restart it comes back on in windows. How do I get back to my os x?

Just installed windows 7 on my macbook (Mac OS X Snow Leopard) using bootcamp. Windows 7 works great, but I can't get back to my Snow Leopard. When I log off or shut down Windows and try to start up again, all I get is Windows. How do I get back to my mac operating system?

If your Mac is off then start up. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the Option key until the Mac and Windows Disks show up. Then click on the Mac disk and the arrow below it. After it boots up in Mac then go to System Preferences>Startup Disk and select your Mac partition as the Startup disk.
If you are in Windows then look for the Boot Camp icon on the taskbar. It will look like a gray box sitting on one corner. One of the options when you click it is to restart in Mac OS. After it boots up in Mac then go to System Preferences>Startup Disk and select your Mac partition as the Startup disk.

How do I get iTunes to show up so I can make playlists and burn CD's as I was able to do in MAC OS X Snow Leopard? I upgraded to MAVERICKS so that I could have iCloud capabilities.

Installing Windows XP Pro alongside Windows 7 & Mac OS/X Snow Leopard

I am running mac os/x snow leopard. I have partitioned my hard disk three ways:
Mac OS (journaled), Windows 7 and a third partition on which I intend to install Windows XP Pro. The 3rd partition is formatted NTFS.
My understanding is that if I were to insert a Windows XP Pro CD and hold down the C key the Mac would prompt me on which partition I wanted to install my Windows XP Pro.
However, that does not appear to happen.
I hold down the C key as soon as the Mac starts booting up and the CD sounds like its spinning up, but instead of being prompted to select a partition on which to install the Windows XP Pro the system defaults to the Windows 7 partition and it boots up into Windows 7.
Anyone got any ideas as to what is going?
Thanks in advance.
Eddie

Hi Eddie,
have a look here at how-to TripleBoot a Mac http://guides.macrumors.com/Triple_Boot
(substitute Vista with Windows 7).
Something may have awry when you did the partitioning.

Stefan

I cannot install mac os x snow leopard as i dont have the previous installation disk os x 10.5.8 and I cant remember the password for the mac. How can I install snow leopard.

Hi I have just received Mac OS X Snow leopard but when I tried to install it i couldn't as I have forgotten the password for the mac and I can't find the disk for OS X 10.5.8 its running on. Is there any way to install the new software without both of these?

you can reset your password. restart, and hold down Command-s before the apple logo appears (when the screen is white). you will see scrolling scripts until you see something like "root:" then type /sbin/mount -uw / to mount the disk. after that, type sudo passwd admin or whatever your admin password is. type in the new password two times. it doesn't show what you typed when you type the password so make sure you are pressing the right keys. after you done that, type exit to start up the computer. now you will be able to login with the new password.

My Mac is very slow, after installing mac OS x snow leopard

Hi
I am quite sad to note that the new Mac OS X Snow leopard software is a big let down. After installing i found my mac has become very slow, its taking a long time to process applications and stuff. It does not shut down completely, i get an error message most of the time saying i should press the power button for 5 seconds in order to shut down or off the computer completely.
Please advise should i just go back to the old version or is there a fix to this
Thanks

Did you update your applications as well? Which are slow? How much memory is installed? How full is the hard drive?
