    Recently I upgraded from snow leopard to Mavericks . Since the upgrade my Adobe Creative Suite 4 will not launch any programs. I downloaded adobe license recovery it says " this program is no longer supported " .
    At this point I am ready to go back to snow leopard if that will fix the problem.   What do I do ?

  • Can I still upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mavericks, with Yosemite out?

    Hi there,
    my girlfriend is running Snow Leopard (10.6.8 I believe) on a MacBook 2009. Now she finally wanted an upgrade to a newer OS. However, I've read in several reviews that Yosemite is not running very smoothly on some older Macs. So I thought upgrading to Mavericks might be a better deal.
    So my question is:
    How can I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mavericks? Apparently you can't do it over the AppStore, since you can now only download Yosemite. Is there another way?
    Thanks!

    Nope. Mavericks is no longer available for download unless you had downloaded it in the past. If Yosemite doesn't do well on an older Mac, then neither will Mavericks. Consider rolling back to Snow Leopard.
    You may try calling Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. They may be able to help you with getting Mavericks for now.

  • Migrating Stickies content and Safari Reading List from Snow Leopard to Mavericks

    I am about to upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mavericks but am concerned about maintaining the integrity of two collections of important material: the contents of hundreds of Stickies notes, and the collection of Reading List bookmarks in Safari. I want to be able to access these items from the new versions in Mavericks. From what I've read, both sets of material should be portable, but I want to make sure that there will not be unforeseen problems and loss of this content. Are there any problems or issues people have encountered doing this, or any tricks or tips I should be aware of?

    Try making a test user account in System Preferences > Users & Groups.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    Then log out of your usual user account and try the test user account, and see if the website  will let you in.
    I suspect that the problem is an internet plugin that is not compatible with Mavericks. The old internet plugin will not be in the test user account.
    If the site lets you in with the test user account, then it's a process of trial and error to figure out which plugin is the culprit.
    The internet plugins are found in a few places.
    Most are in /Library/Internet Plugins
    Some may be in ~/Library/Internet Plugins
    ~/Library is hidden by default.

  • I upgraded from snow leopard to mavericks only to find that my backup files of all my CS3 indesign, illustrator, photoshop wo't run, how do I uninstall mavericks and get my old system back

    I upgraded from snow leopard to mavericks only to find that my backup files of all my CS3 indesign, illustrator, photoshop wo't run, how do I uninstall mavericks and get my old system back.  I retired from graphics a few years back but still have old clients I do work for and maintain files for.  Would not have upgraded if I had known of the incompatability.

    You did not due any due dilligence to investigate if your legacy apps would run, you should upgrade your apps. However if you feel you have to downgrade back to SL then click

  • How to update from snow leopard to mavericks

    I  just downloaded anew version of safari, but now I can't use it because I have OS 10.6.8 snow leopard, and it needs 10.9 mavericks. I have heard I can download it for free from the App store, and go from snow leopard to mavericks. I can't seem to find the download anywhere here? Can anyone help me with this?

    Your computer can’t be upgraded past 10.6.8. If desired, switch to a product such as Firefox.

  • When attempting to upgrade my iMac from Snow Leopard to Mavericks, I receive the message "This disk is used for Time Machine Backups" when I try to select the lone available hard drive.

    When attempting to upgrade my iMac from Snow Leopard to Mavericks, I receive the message "This disk is used for Time Machine Backups" when I try to select the lone available hard drive.  I have ensured that Time Machine is turned off.  Upon some Google research, some who reported this problem were told to delete the folder backup.backupdb, but I do not have this folder on my Mac.  Any suggestions?

    The folder would be at the root of your hard drive. Double-click Macintosh HD and look there.
    If it isn’t there, I’m not sure what it is seeing.

  • Mail folders missing after upgrading from snow leopard to mavericks.

  • How to transfers mail from snow leopard to mavericks

    Hello, I have a little big problem, how can I transfer all the emails and email accout from snow leopard to mavericks? the two operating systems are on the same computer, on the same hard disk on two different partitions.
    thanks

    I'm not sure if you will need to boot into Snow Leopard to do this, but if you can see the Mail folder in Snow Leopard you can drag it over to Mavericks.
    Apple Mail stores your data in User's Library/Mail.
    Your User's Library is hidden in Mavericks. See:
    How to enable the User’s Library folder
    Mavericks Mail will upgrade when you open.

  • HT6065 I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks OS X, and lost all of my "on my mac" mail boxes.  How do I restore them?

    I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks OS X, and lost all of my "on my mac" mail boxes.  How do I restore them?

    The answer was more complicated.  I had to have an Apple Care tech help me onscreen.  Had to go to Time Machine to restore (which I had tried, but couldn't find the right files to import.  The Mail icon was barred).  They helped me find them.  It was very complicated, with many steps involved.  I never could have figured it out on my own.  Even the tech was not sure how, or if it would work. And it took about 1/2 hour for the stuff to download. But, the problem was solved eventually
    .  Thanks again for your help!

  • I just updated my 15" macbook pro from Snow Leopard to Mavericks and it's saying Photo booth needs to be updated to be used. Since it comes with the machine I'm assuming I need to buy Mountain Lion or something? Help??

    Many apps I would like to download were out of reach because they needed the latest software download to work. I was extrememly excited to hear that the newest update was completely free and knew that it would help some of my problems. I was told that Mavericks could be installed straight from Snow Leopard, but I'm guessing a few updates have been missed on the way? How am I supposed to update my apps like Photo Booth when I am a student with low income and can't afford to buy things like Mountain Lion?
    Is there anyway to update my apps without downsizing my software???

    First, I see from the screenshot that you have applications on your desktop - how did they wind up there? Any app should be installed in the Applications folder since that is where Software Update expects them to be when it searches for updates. So you might want to move your apps there. Do that, restart, and run Software Update again. If that does not update your very old version of Photo Booth, then I have only one suggestion: use recovery (hold down Command + R keys while restarting or rebooting) to re-download and install Mavericks again over the top of what you have.

  • Why am i having problems since changing from snow leopard loading maverick

    why am i having problems since changing from snow leopard downloading maverick

    Yes you solved your own question, use printer handles color, whcih shodul have been the default. If you do want to experiment with Photohsop manages color, try the CMYK profiles, and send a cmyk file. Only exception is if you print to one of the few RGB printers like a lambda.

  • Upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mavericks: Volume cannot be used as a start volume

    Hi there!
    I'm having a triple boot Mac-Linux-Win on a 2010 iMac. Each is on a partition. From Snow Leopard, I'm trying to install OS X Mavericks via App Store. The install Mavericks button has been added to my dock after the download completed.
    However, when choosing a target volume, it says that my current Mac volume may not be used as a start volume. File system is Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and I'm having 168 GB free space on it. Partition table is GUID.
    What's wrong?
    Cheers,
    Kalsan

    You are never going to have the option to repair a disk if you are booted from the same disk.
    I think the place to start is boot off your Snow Leopard DVD install disk by holding down the C key on boot up.
    Under Utilities drop down menu  you will have access to Disk Utility.
    From  here you will have the option to repair Disk (ie not grayed out.)
    option: Either insert and wait for the Mac OS X Install DVD window and double-click the Install icon;  or power down, then start up while holding down the "C" key.  Either way, that takes a few minutes.

  • I want to upgrade from snow leopard to Mavericks, but only Yosemite is available!!

    How do I upgrade snow leopard to Mavericks on one of my older macbooks? I note that Mavericks is no longer available via the App store, only Yosemite, and I do not want the latter. My latest macbooks all have Mavericks pre-installed, and I want parity on all.

    OS X 10.9 Mavericks is no longer an available, downloadable OS version.
    You can choose to decide and download the free OS X 10.10 Yosemite OR pay to download either OS X 10.7 Lion  or OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
    Before embarking on a major OS upgrade, it would be wise, advisable and very prudent if you backup your current system to an external connected and Mac formatted Flash drive OR externally connected USB, Thunderbolt or FireWire 800, Mac formatted hard drive. Then, use either OS X Time Machine app to backup your entire system to the external drive OR purchase, install and use a data cloning app, like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, to make an exact and bootable copy (clone) of your entire Mac's internal hard drive. This step is really needed in case something goes wrong with the install of the new OS or you simply do not like the new OS, you have a very easy way/procedure to return your Mac to its former working state.
    Then, determine if your Mac meets ALL minimum system install requirements.
    OS X 10.7 Lion system requirements
    Purchased emailed download code here.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
    To use OS X 10.7 Lion, make sure your computer has the following:
    An Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    Mac OS X v10.6.6 or later to install via the Mac App Store (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7 GB of available disk space
    2 GB of RAM
    To install OS X  10.8 Mountain Lion, 10.9 Mavericks (free upgrade, but currently unavailable) or OS X 10.10 Yosemite (currently available free upgrade) you need one of these Macs:
    OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion purchased emailed download code here.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion
    iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
    MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
    MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    Your Mac also needs:
    OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (I strongly advise, at least, 4 GBs of RAM or more)
    8 GB or more of available space
    Next,
    If you run any older Mac software from the earlier PowerPC Macs, then none of this software will work with the newer OS X versions (10.7 and onward). OS X Snow Leopard had a magical and invisible PowerPC emulation application, called Rosetta, that worked seamlessly in the background that still allowed older PowerPC coded software to still operate in a Intel CPU Mac.
    The use of Rosetta ended with OS X Snow Leopard as the Rosetta application was licensed to Apple, from a software company called Transitive, which got bought out, I believe, by IBM and Appe  could no longer secure their rights to continue to use Rosetta in later versions of OS X.
    So, you would need to check to see if you have software on your Mac that maybe older than, say, 2006 or older.
    Also, check for app compatibilty  here.

    If you have any commercial antivirus installed and/or hard drive cleaning apps installed on your Mac, like MacKeeper, CleanMyMac, TuneUpMyMac, MacCleanse, etc. now would be a good time to completely uninstall these apps by doing a Google search to learn how to properly uninstall these types of apps.
    These types of apps will only cause your Mac issues later after the install of the new OS X version and you will have to completely uninstall these types of apps later.
    Once you have determined all of this, you should be able to find the latest versions of OS X by clicking on the Mac App Store icon in the OS X Dock and then login to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID and password and if you purchased a download code, input that code.
    You can then begin the download and installation process of installing the newer versions of OS X from the Mac App Store.
    Good Luck!
