I am updating the OS on my MacBook Pro from 10.5.8. I have installed 10.6.8 and the 10.6.8 combo v1.1. I cannot open my older version of Preview and do not appear to have a newer version which i thought would be on the Snow Leopard dvd. How can I get the correct version of Preview and is it advisable to upgrade to OS7 andOS8?
It is always installed with whatever new version of OS X is installed or appropriate updates. Since you plan to go forward your choice depends on your model. I would urge you to perform a clean install instead of continuing the upgrade path which may interject incompatibilities.
Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mavericks/Yosemite - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Yosemite, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Before attempting a clean install you want to first download the appropriate installer application from the App Store. It will download into your Applications folder. You need to make a copy of it in your Downloads folder so you can make a bootable USB flash drive:
Make Your Own Mavericks, Mountain/Lion Installer
After downloading the installer you must first save the Install Mac OS X application. After the installer downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the leftside list. 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.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list.
Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
Use DiskMaker X to put your installer clone onto the USB flash drive.
Make your own Yosemite flash drive installer using the Yosemite tool:
You can also create a Yosemite flash drive installer via the Terminal. Yosemite has its own built-in installer maker you use via the Terminal:

Restoring iLife from the Snow Leopard DVD
Hi,
I deleted iMovie from my MB Pro a while back, and would like to restore it. I was wondering which .pkg file contains iMovie. I'm guessing iLife is bundled in one package, but I couldn't find it by the package names.
TIA,
zYou can only do this from the install disks which came with your computer: if your computer was originally Leopard and you subsequently bought the Snow Leopard disk this does not contain iLife.
Insert the install disk which came with your computer and you should see an option to install bundled software only. -
I have upgraded my snow leopard to mavericks. Now I want to install the snow leopard in a hard disk partition. But the mac refuses to start the installation app on the snow leopard dvd. What to do?
Restart the computer with the disk in the drive and the C key held down.

My Desktop Mac won't startup, it turns on to the grey screen flashing question file. I have been able to startup from the snow leopard install cd but once I try to repair within DU the disk never appears in the side panel. The only thing there is "Media"... What can I do? Help!
If Disk Utility cannot see your drive it doesn't look good.
You could try DiskWarrior. It is expensive but can often fix directory structures where DU cannot.
Replacing the drive is also a strong likelihood. If you don't have a fairly recent backup, then it might be worth buying DiskWarrior

Restoring my System with Time Machine to a new HD without the Snow Leopard DVD
Hi there,
I changed my HD in my MacBook Pro to a bigger one and then wanted to Restore the System via Time Machine onto that new HD. Sadly I dont have the Snow Leopard DVD that was coming with the MacBook. Though I have another Snow Leopard DVD, that I purchased earlier for my older Mac. Now the Problem:
When I try to Boot the Macbook Pro from the older Snow Leopard DVD it always freezes and says: "You have to restart your Macbook. Press the power button until it switches off and then press the button again". But iwill not boot from the DVD.
Is there another possibility to Restore my System from my Time Machine Backup to the new HD?
Kind Regards

You can't use a machine specific OS X install disk with another model of Mac.
It has to do with hardware drivers being on one disk and not applicable to another machine, why you get the kernel panic.
Is there another possibility to Restore my System from my Time Machine Backup to the new HD?
No. You need the OS X install disk.
Choices depending on what your machine is:
1: If your machine with the missing OS X install disk originally came with 10.6.3 or later, call Apple for machine specific replacement disks, there will be a fee of course. That's the only ones that will work.
2: If your machine originally came with 10.6.2 or earlier, you can choose to buy the 10.6.3 retail disk from Apple online, however it contains no free iLife. It comes faster.
3: If your machine originally came with 10.0 - 10.6.2, and you want the free iLife, then order the machine specific versions from Apple, however it might take longer.
4: If your machine originally came with 10.5, and your now on 10.6.x via the 10.6.3 retail disk, you can extract the free iLife from the 10.5 disks using Pacifist from CharlesSoft if you don't want to buy iLife.
You will need this disk regardless in case you need to #18 Reinstall Just OS X or #20 Erase and Install OS X or perform #4-#6 repair proceedures:
Step by Step to fix your Mac
Is there another possibility...
Yes, once you have gotten a new OS X install disk, consider making bootable clones.
It's software that can clone your entire OS X drive/partition (no Bootcamp or Filevaulted) to another external drive and you can easily hold the option key to boot from it.

Hard disc repair needed. how to start with the snow leopard dvd?
Hi,
after a check with the apple hard disc program "festplattendienstprogramm" it found an error:
something like "invalid amount of file hard links". It suggests to boot from the installation dvd.
meanwhile I installed mac os lion, so I've got just the snow leopard dvd and tried to boot with holding down the C key before start up sound.
But the system always boots from the hard disc. Maybe it's a problem with the apple bluetooth keyboard?
holding down the c key didn't work (got the bt keyboard), and mac os lion is installed.
Sincerely
Sascha- the forum ate my post -
Summarizing:
Backup any data that you do not have a backup of. Disk repairs are not guaranteed. They can fail or be unrepairable requiring formatting the drive and a clean installation.
Verify the smart status in disk utility. Highlight the drive. Read the status on the bottom of the window.
Off the top of my head, I don't know that there is a free utility to read the number of errors and how close it.
There is a utility called smartreporter that can help keep an eye on your hard drive.
There is no guarantee the drive is about to fail or keep going for years; but it is suspect you have to start from the install disc to attempt a repair. Could be due to improper shut down. -
OSX 10.5.8: Should I download Xcode 3.1.4 or install it from the 10.5 DVD?
Hi there. My Hard Drive recently failed and now I need to reinstall Xcode. (Yes, my important data was backed up, thanks for asking!). I have upgraded OSX back to 10.5.8. Should I download and install Xcode 3.1.4 or install Xcode 3.0 from my 10.5 Install DVD?
Just want to be sure before I wait for that 1GB download
Thanks!What version xcode were you running before?
Apple’s dev center only links to the latest version of Xcode, which requires Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6.x).
Since you’re running an older OS, you need to go to this alternative developer website:
http://connect.apple.com/
Log in with your ADC credentials, click “Downloads”, then click “Developer Tools” in the right sidebar, and then search the page for “3.1.4″. You might also want to check the wikipedia list of xcode versions to see if 3.1.4 is still the latest version. -
Problems with Booting from the Snow Leopard Install Disc
I need to do a reformat of my iMac drive and reinsall Snow Leopard. Then I want to run System Migration and move the contents of my Mac Pro (running Snow Leopard) over to the iMac.
I placed the retail Snow Leopard installation disc and held the "C" key down during restart. My optical drive make a bit of random noise and eventually ejects the SL disc. I've tried a CD, movie dvd and another software program installation disc and none of them seem to be able to be read. I've sold the Mac Pro and am in a bit of a bind as I need to get this done and shipped out. I'm also going to have to wipe the Mac Pro drives clean and do a reinstall of Snow Leopard.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
JohnDo you have the original install discs that came with the computer?
If you do, try powering up the mac pushing in the disc and hold the OPTION key, which will bring up the start up manager, select the insrall disc to boot from.
After booting, select the language, on the next page go to the menu bar and select Utilities/disk utilities, select your volume (default name is Macintosh HD, or what ever you ma have named it) First aid tab, run verify disk.
If it comes up with errors (they will be in red font) click repair disk. Rerun this till it it comes up with "this disk seems OK i(n green font)
Then quit the installer and eject the disk.
Try the Snow Leopard disk using the same proceedure (power up, push in disk, holding the OPTION key) to boot to the start up manager, and select the SL disk, and do a clean install.
Make sure that you have a retail install disk (white SL on it)
You can try this from the retail SL disc, if you do not have the Original disc(s) you should include all of them to the person you seel/give it to.
After install, follow these instructions.

What can i do.., btw im a bit of a newby for this stuff!The grey installation DVDs supplied with Macs are specific to the computer they are supplied with. They cannot be used to install on any other Mac.
Either erase and install the OS on the old MB from it's own grey DVDs, or go and buy the retail Snow Leopard installation DVD ($29 in the US, £26 UK). -
Impossible to boot on the Snow Leopard DVD install
Hello,
I have an iMac i5 3.6 GHz 27" - Beg of April 2011
I made too many tests / operations and so, now, I would like to delete evrything in order to have a "new" iMac.
So, I would like to "fully" re-install Snow Leopard from the Original DVD: Version 10.6.3 - 22691-6643-A
Unfortunately, I'm not able to boot on it, neither using the C (or c) key nor the Option key - I only have the "Blank Apple Screen" - Is it a DVD issue?
My keyboard is the Bluetooth one? Is it managed at the boot?
I have to use the Mouse Click to eject the DVD and to be able to connect to the System.
How can I fix this issue / How can I boot on the DVD?
Thanks for your help.

So, my last question on this topic: As the DVD does not include the OS Files (Boot part) why my iMac does not start using the Hard Drive OS files?
1. The hard drive may not have a useable OS on it.
2. Some startup keyboard commands (like command + C) specifically tell the iMac to try to boot from the DVD.
3. The computer can do very little until the OS loads. In fact, it can't even understand how files are stored on the drive until the OS loads & runs. It's called "booting" because it is like 'pulling yourself up with your bootstraps' -- seemingly impossible, since the OS can't run until it is loaded but it can't load until is running.
4. The boot process gets around this by loading successively more capable software: first a tiny little program stored in firmware runs that loads the 'boot loader,' which must be stored in one of a few specific places on the boot drive or the firmware can't find it. The boot loader knows enough about file systems to find more capable software stored on the drive, loads that & transfer control to it. Eventually, the kernel (the most basic part of the OS) is loaded, the kernel extensions are loaded & the hardware is initialized, & the remainder of the OS loads & takes over control of the computer.
5. It is actually a lot more complicated than this, because there are provisions to load pre-configured kernel & extension configurations, to interrupt & modify the process (like with keyboard commands), & even to load entirely different OS's that require different drive schemes. -
I have a 2009 iMac 4,1 2GHz intel Core duo it says here I have 1GB of memory. I had it running on snow leopard 10.6.8 I still have the SN software that i bought to made the upgrade. Had some guest staying at my place and they deleted the running os and a lot of files and stuff..., now is running on leopard 10.5.8 and it's giving me a lot of problems because is soo obsolete, also hte computer is crashing all the time and every time I try ti install the SL dvd, the computer won't read the dvd and I'm keeps booting me off. Is not getting better at all and now when I restart the iMac before I get the grey apple screen, the folder of death icon flashes, (I already lost my Macbookpro due this situation. What can I do to resolve this aggravating and frustrating Issue. Need help now ..Please
Before we get too far, please clarify this part:
I have a 2009 iMac 4,1
A 2009 iMac cannot be an iMac 4,1; they are 9,1 and higher. Did you mean to type "2006?" That would be an iMac 4,1. We need to pin down the model issue before proceeding.
It could be the drive, not the disk, that is dirty. Try a drive cleaning disk, usually about US$5-15 at home entertainment, electronics stores and office superstores -
I have tried erasing and moving forward, erasing partition and creating new partition using GUID, no solution yet, keeps giving me same message.
Did you check if your Macbook meets the requirements for Snow Leopard?

Why am I unable to to install XCode from the App Store?
I'm running Mavericks (OS X 10.9.2) on my 2010 era Macbook Pro, and I installed the latest security update from Apple yesterday (4/23/2014).
Today I'm trying to install XCode (because I need it for Maven and Unison), and when I click on the green "Download" button next to it in the App Store search results for "Xcode" the button changes to "Installing" and then nothing happens.
Looking at the console log I notice the following, which makes me wonder if this is an App Store bug:
ERROR: ITSExceptionHandler: {message:"TypeError: 'null' is not an object (evaluating 'document.querySelector("#header").removeClassName')", url:"https://se.itunes.apple.com/htmlResources/EC0D/da-storefront-autoinstallations.j s", lineNumber:"326"}
If so, is there another way to make sure I've got an officially approved copy?Thanks for the hint! I hadn't realized that Xcode 5.1.1 was so huge (2.18Gb) and assumed after an hour that the installation had frozen.

Can't boot from Original Snow Leopard DVD
I have a late 2009 15" MacBook Pro. I can't boot my system and wish to restore a backup. Unfortunately, I have inserted the original system DVD that came with the machine and tried to boot holding down the "C" key, holding down the "option key" (that only gets me to a big padlock with a password box but won't accept my password), holding down the "Command" key, holding down the "Control" key, and holding down the "shift" key. None of them work. I always come to the apple logo with the spinning gear, and no further.
Obviously I need help ?danielfromloudon wrote:
