Is it possible to enable telnet on Snow Leopard

Hi, I need to remote to a mac which is running Snow Leopard by using telnet (ssh is not possible on the remote machine). However, I am not able to find any instruction to enable telnet daemon on Snow Leopard. Could someone help, please
Thank you,
Aldous

Apple says it can't be used to connect to the computer:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/9013.html
though they may have meant that it's not supported or configured by default, not that it's not possible. If it can be made to work, see this thread for tips on how to get it to launch automatically:

Is it possible to run Tiger in Snow Leopard using Parallels?

Hey All,
Anyone know if it is possible to run Tiger in Snow Leopard using Parallels?
I am using SPSS 16 and it is not compatible with snow leopard. A temporary fix right now if I partitioned my hard drive and installed Leopard on some extra space to run SPSS. This is kind of annoying because I only need Leopard to use SPSS. I would rather emulate it so I can listen to iTunes and check my email in SL.
What about Panther? I think I even have a copy of Panther to install in Parallels?
I read somewhere that the EULA restricts OS X from being emulated, which seems odd for Mac users who need to test or use old software. I understand though about emulating OS X on windows machine though. I guess they need to blow off the whole foot than just cut off one toe.
Thanks for the thoughts!

From what I can tell, doing this would be, at best, of dubious legality.
Even so, the popular opinion seems to be that it would take some degree of hacking to pull off a virtual machine running OS X. I think that unless you are willing and able to undertake such a task, your best bet is to stick with a partition running an old version or wait for SPSS to be updated for Snow Leopard.
Although...... I have Parallels 4 (current version is 5) and it has an option, when setting up a new Virtual Machine, to install Mac OS X server (see image linked below). Perhaps if you could get a copy of the server edition of the OS you would have more success?

Is it possible to get AirDrop on Snow Leopard?

Is it possible to get AirDrop on Snow Leopard? I have MacBook Pro and it is newer than late 2008 model (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4783).
If it is possible then how?

Look at the reference links of software that can run in Snow Leopard:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2455 - if it exists, it sure is to be in one of those areas. Read the reviews carefully, and ask around what users have experienced with the said software before getting it.

I have bought OS X Lion 1.7 in august 2011 in Apple Store but I never installed (I had download in pause). I have tried to complete download but Lion 1.7 is not in disposable in Italian Store. How is possible for me update my Snow Leopard?

I have bought OS X Lion 1.7 in Apple Store on august 2011 but I never installed it (I had download in pause). To day I have tried to complete download but Lion 1.7 is not more disposable in Italian Store. How is possible update my Snow Leopard to Lion or (better) Mountain Lion?

Ciao Giampo,
As you're running Snow Leopard and you have a MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo, you CAN upgrade directly to Mountain Lion so long as you have at least 2GB of Memory and 7GB of available space on your hard drive. So, once you check that your MacBook Pro meets these requirements you can download Mountain Lion from the App Store.
I'm not sure, but I think you will have to pay €15.99 for the upgrade even though you never managed to completely download your upgrade to Lion.

Is possible to download Xcode for Snow Leopard?

Hi all,
sorry for my English but I don't speak it very well.
I'm a programmer (small programmer ), but I'm not an expert with Mac but I want tot start to "study" the App world (just for fun )
I have a Macbook and I want to try to use Xcode. I have Snow Leopard (10.6.2) OS but I can find Xcode 4.X only for Lion OS!!!
Is possibile to download XCode 4 for Snow Leopard? And where is possible to download?
Thanks for help!

AFAIK the 3.2.6 is still available with a free Developer Account>Navigate to Developer Tools. Only question is can one still get a free developer account. I think so. Here it is: Register for free.
Xcode 3.2.6 and iOS SDK 4.3 for Snow Leopard
But very big DL at 4.1GB

Is it possible to upgrade macbook to snow leopard

is know i cannot simply upgrade to lion...but how do i find snow leopard? i cann't seem to find a download on the apple site. i am currently running 10.5.8 of mac os x. no problems or anything, just want to be able to use icloud as with all my other devices...

If you need to purchase Snow Leopard you can still purchase a copy from Apple's online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.] Ask for a Sales Representative.
Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
Snow Leopard from eBay
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
Note that iCloud requires 10.7.4 or later.
Snow Leopard General requirements
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.

Why after having installed mountain lion in hard disk using a MBP 17"mid 2010,isn't possible to install native original snow leopard in other hard disks using the same MBP?

Seems something is changed in the firmware that doesn't allow more to install snow leopard. Someone can help me?

In general, a 2010 model Mac should be able to re-install Snow Leopard. It would require a complete backup, a complete wipe, then install of Snow Leopard. Then be careful not to restore OS X Mt. Lion files over SL, when restoring your data files and applications.
What is the Mac Model Identifier in About This Mac/More Info/Hardware Overview?
Are you using the Restore disc that came with that model Mac? If not, you may need to purchase a retail Mac OS X Snow Leopard Install DVD 10.6.3 from Apple for $19.95.

Is it possible to completely restore from Snow Leopard TimeMachine Backup after a clean Lion install?

Hello,
I cannot install Lion because my disk cannot be used, so I am planning to do a full, clean install of the system. My question is if it is possible to restore entirely from the TimeMachine backup after that or if it is better to spend time for figuring out how to remove the "this disk cannot be used" message in the lion installer?
Thanks,
Thomas

Just a gut feeling, if you are getting "disk cannot be used" errors you need to figure out why first before you try to install something else. Have u run Disk Utility from within the Lion installer? Try that and see if what kindof errors you get there...
But yes, assuming the disk is still in good shape, and you have the SL installer DVD, you should be able to do a reinstall and use the TM backup to get things back into the shape they were in before you tried to install Lion.

Is it possible to get a new snow leopard installation disc if original has failed

We bought an MBP three years ago. We never took the installation discs out of the packaging. We just did and they have purple stains around the edge and don't work.
Obviously the mac is out of warranty, but it seemed worth asking as I have never known a DVD to acquire "disc rot" before.

Commercial disks, which Apple uses, are pressed and cannot degrade like that. If this was a brand new Mac, then either someone switched out the disks, or they were stained in some other manner. If you bought it used, then it's likely you were given copies. If they are original disks, they should be gray with white silk screened lettering. Anything else is a copy.
If you want machine specific replacements, which would include the bundled iLife software and other titles that are not on the retail disks, contact Apple. They will ask for the Mac's serial number to make sure you get the correct disks.

Is it possible to uninstall mountain lion and go back to snow leopard

Have an mid-2009 macbook pro and since installing Mountain Lion it has become very slow on startup, shutdown and everything inbetween including random crashes of software. Is is possible to go back to Snow Leopard ?
Thanks

Also you should look at this User tip as well, because your machine is a bit dated and likely needs a new boot drive + more RAM and performance tweaks for maximum Snow Leopard performance.
For Snow Leopard Speed Freaks
Snow Leopard is extremely fast on my Early 2011 machine here, it's because it's a 32 bit operating system that can address up to 16GB of RAM (or more)
OS X Lions are 64 bit operating systems so they act more like trucks and can move better in bulk.
Snow Leopard is like a small race car.

If i have Time Machine backed up on an external hard drive, do i just plug the drive into another macbook pro and all my stuff is in the new computer? also, does it matter if the new computer is running Lion when the backed up info came from Snow Leopard

If i have Time Machine backed up on an external hard drive, do i just plug the drive into another macbook pro and all my stuff is in the new computer? Also, does it matter if the new computer is running Lion when the backed up info came from Snow Leopard 10.6.8?

No and Yes
Don't use TM for this purpose, clone your drive to an external, plug the external into another MBP and reboot from it. Please note that booting a machine that came with Lion may not be possible from a drive with Snow Leopard.

Dual boot with Mavericks and Snow Leopard on Two different internal drives?

I have a late 2009 quad core Mac Pro running Snow Leopard- it has 4 internal HD's. I want to eventually upgrade to Mavericks. Before I do a clean install of Mavericks on my start up disk that has Snow Leopard OS, I was hoping I could download Mavericks and install it on another clean internal hard drive to test it out before I commit to erasing my main drive and doing a clean install. My Mac Pro meets the minium specs to run Mavericks.
If I install Mavericks on this second internal drive can I dual boot using the option key at start up and elect to either operate in Snow Leopard or Mavericks? What are the concerns or issues I might face if this is possible?
As I have Snow Leopard, I am also unable to produce a Mavericks bootable USB flash drive- the terminal commands don't work with Snow Leopard. With Mavericks installed on a second internal hard drive- will I be able to create a bootable Mavericks USB Flash drive?
Thanks for any advice.
KT

1. Yes.
2. The Spotlight indexes may be rebuilt every time you switch OSes.
3. Yes.

Going back to Snow Leopard from Lion

I Just bought a Refurbished Macbook from Apple(2.4GHz Core 2 Duo). It came with Lion loaded on it, but I want to downgrade it to Snow Leopard so I can run Quickbooks and Office '04, but It won't let me restart to my Leopard or Snow Leopard disc. Is it possible to drop it down to a previous OS or is this not allowed?
I've erased hard drives and reinstalled OS's in the past, so I'm familier with the process, but it's not letting me. Does anyone know if this is possible?

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.
Note that this will only work on computer models that do not require Lion (Lion did not come pre-installed when new) and requires a version of Snow Leopard compatible with the model, e.g., you cannot install 10.6.3 on a model that requires 10.6.4.

Boot Mavericks and Snow Leopard

Is it possible to have Mavericks and Snow Leopard installed and working on the same workstation?
I have three disks and VMWare Fusion already on my machine. I want to run a bunch of hardware/software no longer compatible on Mavericks.

If your Mac Pro can run both Mavericks and Snow Leopard and you install them on different partitions or different drives in your drive bays, you can run them both, just not at the same time. If you mean as virtual machines, you can do that too, though you'll need Snow Leopard Server for the VM. Check out the Fusion forum for virtualizing details.

How can i format my macbook 10.5.8 to snow leopord i am doing first time format how its process and do i need to formet or upgrade and i have a snow leopard DVD????

First, I'd advise you to make a backup. Time Machine is fine, but I recommend making a bootable backup with Carbon Copy Cloner if possible.
Then, insert the Snow Leopard DVD (it's a retail version, right? Not a grey disk meant for another machine?) and run the installer on the disk. Should be automatic from that point in. You don't need to reformat your drive.
