Is iLife and Aperture ready for Snow Leopard?

Snow Leopard has Grand Central Dispatch and OpenCL built in. Does anyone know if the iLife software or Aperture use these new features of Snow Leopard? I can not find anything on Apple software. You would think that iLife and Aperture would already be optimized so Snow Leopard. If they are not, maybe updates will be coming soon? Let me know what you find out!

iLife '09 is bundled as part of the Mac Box Set on Apple's Store.
iLife '08 has been reported as compatible on:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10063533&#10063533
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
says that Aperture 2.1.3 is compatible.
Whether they actually use those features, you may want to look at http://developer.apple.com/
If they are not, maybe updates will be coming soon?

What do I need to be ready for Snow Leopard?

I have an Intel Mac Pro with OS X 10.5.8. What do I need to do to be ready for Snow Leopard? Specifically, do I need to do an intermediate OS X upgrade?
Thanks.
David

PLEASE tell people what model.
And no one knows but it is possible that Pre-2008 model will not be supported as they lack UEFI.
It is possible to boot ML even so but that could change. MacPro 1,1 and 2,1 likely will not be supported, those models dont' support 64-bit kernel mode.
My guess, stay where you are until you need to or buy a new Mac.

thats is my mac specificacion i want now is my mac is ready ofr snow leopard is running leopard

Yes. Personally I'd recommend filling your RAM with 4GB, and of course, check your application compatibility and back up your files before you upgrade, but other than that, go for it.

Getting ready for Snow Leopard + Windows 7... help?

I have a currently 300g Hard Drive in my early 2008 MacPro (with 50g free), and really want to go to a dual-boot w/ Snow Leopard and Windows 7 here in a few months.
I have another internal drive that's 750g, and I'm thinking of using that one as my startup drive. That way (obviously) I can partition it and have more room for both operating systems (2/3 Snow Leopard, 1/3 Windows)
My question is this: What's the best way to go about this?
Should I go ahead and partition that drive, and then copy my current system onto the 2/3rds I want to use for Snow Leopard, and then turn off my computer and swap the drives?
Anything to "look out for" when partitioning? I've never done it before...
After I swap the drives, I automatically start-up on the correct partition?
Also, is 750g too big for a startup drive?
Maybe stupid questions, but I'm really looking forward to both of these operating systems coming out, and I want to make sure I get it right!
tia,
e

I actually want to put both on the 750, so I can have all the rest of my internals be 1tb each (i keep my video editing stuff on one, my audio editing on another, and my iTunes on the other).
Just make sure you've got all that stuff backed up. Lots of people get a false sense of security, thinking "My stuff isn't on the boot drive, so it's safe," but this couldn't be further from the truth. Maybe this is unneeded advice, but just in case, I'd recommend reading my [Mac Backup Guide|http://www.reedcorner.net/thomas/guides/backups> (or some other backup reference).
So... I just zap the 750, partition it in Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Clone my existing Startup Disk to the correct partition, and then "point" to that as my startup volume in SysPrefs? Right?
If you're using Parallels, rather than Boot Camp, partitioning is completely unnecessary. Other than that, yes, you've got it.

I recently installed Snow Leopard a couple days ago and everything seemed fine, but now tonight the flash player doesn't work.

I've installed, re-installed, updated, etc adobe flash player and my mac and nothings worked, I don't know whats going on. Please help.

Sorry, I know nothing about Mac OS; all I can do is point you to the troubleshooting page http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html

Is AppleCare's TechTool Deluxe 3.1.2 ready for Snow Leopard?

I have another year left on my AppleCare and it came with TechTool Deluxe 3.1.2. I checked the Micromat site and there is no other update.
Does anyone know if it is compatible with Snow Leopard?
Thom

It seems the current techtool deluxe apple offer for download is also incompatible with more recent models of MackBook Pro. WHen I went to download the Techtool Deluxe from https://support.apple.com/techtooldeluxe/main?id=dl I get this message:
+Note: The MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008) *are not fully compatible with this version of TechTool Deluxe*. The MacBook Air is fully compatible with this version of TechTool Deluxe when used with the MacBook Air SuperDrive. Please check back later for a new version of TechTool Deluxe+
Does anyone know if this update (TechTool Deluxe 3.1.3 Updater) fixes just Snow Leopard compatibility - or hardware as well?

Does anyone know where to find and download xcode for Snow Leopard?

I need to access Xcode but it's not in App Store anymore. Any tips will be great.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can register as a free Apple developer in http://developer.apple.com, access to the Mac Dev Center and download Xcode 3 from there with Snow Leopard compatibility. This is the only way of getting Xcode 3, apart from the Snow Leopard disc or the DVDs that came with your Mac

Am I ready for snow leopard?

Hi Forum
For some time I have wanted to upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6. I have tried it once before but experienced problems. My MBP froze for periods of 1/2min, showed the color wheel, and sounded like working strangely at the HD. This pattern was repeated roughly every 10th minutte.
I read somwhere that it was related to the version of my HW, and later I have seen one place describing the issue as solved.
Have any of you experienced the same problem and can you confirm the bug has been solved?

Hardware-uuid: 00000000-0000-1000-8000-0019E33767BA

Thanks for your input Russa. Unfortunately I'm quite sure that was not the issue. The HD activity didn't sound like a regular activity - more like an error. I kept the SL for some days and things didn't change. I also found a description at a forum, stating that the error back then related to a mismatch between SL and my HW. I found no other solution than to reinstall Leopard and my programs.
It might well be that what you describe will work. I just would like to be sure - to avoid all the reinstallation

Getting ready for Snow Leopard Q?

Hi! When I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard, the install was very easy..(although, I can't remember if I did an upgrade or a full install) My iMac came with Tiger. After the install I did have a few kernal issues which turned out to be caused by some 3rd party apps that I had. So now I want to make sure that I don't have any "Stuff" on my iMac that could cause a problem when I upgrade! My Mac runs beautifully. The only concerns I have is the amount of errors that Disk Permissions comes up with that don't go away even if I run it multiple times. I am under the impression that this is a Leopard problem that for the most part can be ignored? Bill

Why cant i re-download xcode 4 for snow leopard from the mac app store?

i reformatted my mac's hd and didnt back up applications that i bought from the mac appstore cause its easy to re-download, so im trying to re-download and instal xcode for snow leopard the one that you purchase for 5 dollars

Been trying about 2 weeks now to get the xcode 4 for snow leopard that I purchased for $5 installed on my new macbook pro but I get the same error. After several frustrating calls and emails the final verdict from Apple was either contact the developer and get a copy (uh Apple right?) or you just can't install it since they've removed it from the App Store. They said just upgrade to Lion but I can't upgrade to Lion on my work machine since well Lion brings down our NAS. So I'm totally hosed on this one. Apple should not force us to move to Lion. That's not right.
There isn't a version of Xcode on this machine so there shouldn't be any conflicts. I REALLY need Xcode 4 installed and this is really frustrating because I already paid for the thing.

Aperture 3.3 for Lion, but... how to install 3.2.4 for Snow Leopard?

New version Aperture (3.3) is not available on Snow Leopard (only Lion). Ok... but how to buy/reinstall Aperture 3.2.4 on my Mac of Snow Leopard?

You still might be able to buy a boxed version of Aperture 3 at a local Apple store, but that will be much more expensive than the download from the App Store.
Since you cannot upgrade your machine to Lion, I'd stick with iPhoto, until you will invest into a new computer. iPhoto libraries now can be opened by Aperture, so any work you invest into an iPhoto library will not be lost, once you transit.
No, I dont' want iPhoto. I need Aperture 3. It was available in the Mac App Store for Snow Leopard for a good price. At this moment I feel just cheated. Many people have a problem now - they have bought and can not update / reinstall. I can not buy. It should not be so. I'm sorry for my english.

Bought iMovie '11 for a Mountain Lion iMac and want iMovie '11 for snow Leopard MacBook but it won't download for Macbook?

Hello:
I have an iMac that I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion. I bought iMovie '11 after upgrading to Mountain Lion. I also have a MacBook Pro but don't want to upgrade to Mountian Lion 'cause I don't want to loose Front Row. So I tried to buy and install iMovie from the App Store on the MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard) but when I try to buy it it says that I can't buy it or run on on Snow Leopard it must be on Mountain Lion? Is there any way to get the down version of iMovie '11 for Snow Leopard from the App Store? I already paid for this version online.
Thanks,
mn3

My guess is that you are out of luck. The latest requirements for iMovie '11, as listed on the App Store, are "OS X 10.7.4 or later". In other words, iMovie '11 (in it's latest iteration) will work only on Lion or Mountain Lion (or later).
My wife's iMac is on Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.8 and is running iMovie '11 version 9.0.4. Checking for updates returns the message that iMovie is up to date. So it appears that the last version to run on Snow Leopard is 9.0.4 - hence why you can't download 9.0.8 to Snow Leopard from the App Store. Perhaps you can purchase a boxed version of iLife '11 somewhere (possibly eBay) that has an earlier version of iMovie '11.

Aperture for snow leopard

Hiya,
I'm considering getting Aperture or Lightroom. I use snow leopard and have currently no inclination to get lion. I see the latest and greatest aperture 3.3.1 is available _only_ for lion. Is it possible to purchase a version for snow leopard?
I found this discussion on getting 3.2.4 by downloading the trial and such, but is this necessary? Calling apple support and begging for an activation serial code for the trial?
If apple doesn't want my money perhaps I should just get lightroom - any input on this folks?
thanks!

For Snow Leopard, you could do the following if Amazon will ship to your location:
Order Aperture 3 retail DVD from here:
http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MB957Z-A-Aperture-3/dp/B002I0JKSS
Download the Aperture 3.2.4 update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1538
This would give you the highest update level compatible with Snow Leopard. This would give you the ability to reinstall at any time on Snow Leopard as well (the EULA allows installation on 2 computers as long as only one instance is running in RAM at a time).
Note - the unified library feature and new 'Skin Tone' white balance is not part of 3.2.4, but Lightroom doesn't have a 'Skin Tone' white balance either.

I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008) and am currently running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I would like to know which is the most stable upgrade for my model. I have read some reviews of Maverick and Yosemite making the older macs slower. Is this true?

I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008), Intel Core 2 Duo 2.53 GHz, 4GB Memory. and am currently running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
I would like to know which is the most stable upgrade for my model? Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite?
When I had gone to the apple care centre in India a few months ago to upgrade my OSX to Mountain Lion, I was told that considering my macbook pro's specs, upgrading it would just make it less efficient, and that I should stick to Snow Leopard unless I consider buying a newer mac that would benefit from it. Is this true? I find it a bit hard to believe. Which update is most recommended?
I also notice that my mac has gotten considerably slower. While using chrome, it buffers and struggles with even just 5 tabs open. Could this have something to do with my current ios? As a precaution, I have always been making sure I have enough free space on disk i.e around 70 - 100 free out of 250GB.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Mavericks is no longer available from the App Store, so your choice is Yosemite. One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install the new OS, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won't have to go though the revert process.
Check to make sure your applications are compatible.

I have updated from Snow Leopard to Lion with Safari Version 5.0.5. Now I can not update to Safari 5.1. There is no update in the Software Updater, and on the apple-download page, I only found a Safari 5.1 for Snow Leopard. When executing it, there is an error message, that it is for 10.6 only.
It seems that I should have first updated Safari, and then only to Lion, which I didn't. Any idea how I can fix this now without having to rollback to Snow Leopard, update Safari and then go back to Lion?

Try this Safari5.1 from the installer package
http://www.filefactory.com/file/cc9005d/n/Safari.pkg.zip
The download worked better with Firefox not sure why. At the bottom of the page after the captcha>> slow down load is the Free link, it took about 4 minutes to download on my test.
