Itunes match and snow leopard, will the matched songs be on my macbook pro?

hi. if i sign up for itunes match from my macbook pro with snow leopard and i get all the tunes i have on there from cd's, will they now be on my laptop? or will they only be in the cloud and available to download to my iphone 4 with ios 5? i was getting psyched for all my old cd's that i ripped to sound way better on my macbook pro. will i also be able to make new burned cd's out of the new versions if they are on my laptop? thanks.

They have to be on your laptop to begin with as iTunes Match scans your library to match the songs you do have.
Is your "laptop" another computer besides the Macbook Pro?

Since iTunes Match has not yet been completed/released, exactly how it works has not been explained.
You have a limit of 25000 songs.
Any/all songs in your iTunes library that match what is in iTunes will be in the cloud. No need to upload them.
You can download these songs to your computer and your iPhone.
Any songs in your library that are not matched, will be uploaded to the cloud. You can download these songs and they count against the 25,000 song limit.
You can keep the originals and/or download from the cloud (for example if your originals are not 256 kbps or better).

    Alternatively, partition your internal HD and dual-boot it. Do note that you have to reboot to switch back and forth. You can't do it by logging out and back in.

  • Running Lion and Snow Leopard on the same MacBook Pro

    So here's the thing .....apparently Lion won't run Photoshop and Illustrator CS2 (which I'm quite happy with and not about to shell out silly amounts of money to Adobe for even CS3) and apparently there may be (and I stress may be) problems with Word 2008 (likewise money to Microsoft for Word 2011).
    I think, and probably won't know till I've installed it, that I'd like to try Lion on my Macbook Pro but keep Snow Leopard as a separate OS to run Photoshop, Illustrator and if necessary Word until I can afford to pay Adobe (& possibly Microsoft though I can't really see what improvements they can make to Word 2008) the large amounts of money they seem to think they deserve for an upgrade.
    Does anybody out there know if it is possible to run both Lion and Snow Leopard on the same machine and if it is how do I do it?
    Thanks for taking the time to read this.

  • I somehow lost my "Tools and reference" bookmarks on my imac-snow leopard. I still have them on my Macbook Pro. Can I somehow traansfer them?

    I still have the "Tool & reference" bookmarks on my Macbook pro--can I somehow transfer them? Or is there some secret place on the imac where they may be hidden.?

    In Safari, Export Bookmarks creates a HTML file of your entire bookmark settings.
    Click the Export Bookmarks menu and answer the navigation prompt on where you want to place the file (same as any save file operation).  It will then create a HTML file in that location by the name you specified.
    The way you use that file is with the Safari Import Bookmarks menu.  You click it and it will ask where the bookmarks html file is.  Navigate to it and safari will import the entire list of bookmarks.
    You probably wouldn't want to do this in the same Safari for the same user because what's the point? But you can move that file to another user account (differnet machine for example) and import the file there to have all those bookmarks in that account's safari.
    I believe safari imported bookmarks into a sub-list in the bookmarks menu.  That means you may still have to move bookmarks around to get them to show exactly like you want.  Select the Show All Bookmarks menu and a window will come up showing your bookmarks.  You can then drag items and folders around to the way you want them presented.

  • DL'd the recent iTunes version and now shuffle repeats the same song over and over

    Shuffle IS on and it keeps repeating the same song over and over and over again.  I have over 200 songs in that particular playlist.  If I click on another song, it does the same thing.
    I saw someone else with a similar problem, and checked that shuffle is on correctly.  But when I click on the top to see what songs are coming next, it shows the same song repeated down the list.
    Also, it has stopped in the middle of a couple of songs and restarted the song just before freezing up on my computer.
    This upgrade *****.

    aye, so many people have done this!
    it's all in the manual though http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPod_touch_2.2_UserGuide.pdf

  • Why am I not able to install snow leopard on a new hard drive for my macbook pro, which at one point was upgraded to Lion?

    I've just had my hard drive go caput and after purchasing a new one was inclined to install snow leopard but received an error message when attempting to do so.
    I did not create a back up or restore file before I decided to upgrade from snow leopard.
    I'm wondering why am I not able to simply install snow leopard on a brand new hard drive.  What would clue it into me having had ran lion before and why can't I simply delete that kernel or said file.    It makes completely no sense to me.  I come from a pc world where if I choose to format a hard drive, I can do a clean install of whatever OS I choose.  After all I only paid for my laptop as should be able to do with it what I wish. 
    Any suggestions or insight would be greatly appreciated

    1.  Was Lion on the machine and trying to downgrade?
    2.  If so this might be an issue.  Newer machines are done for current OSX.
    3.  If you have Lion on your machine try to install Snow Leopard on another partition or portable HD
    4.  After you format and install SL on the other partition or drive Try to boot from this machine retarting and holding the Option key at boot up.
    5.  See if that work. 
    This is a trial and error way but Mountain Lion is right around the corner and Snow Leopard is 2+ yrs old.

  • If Mavericks is updated from snow leopard, will the drivers be kept intact for my printer and other aps?

    If I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mavericks, will my drivers be kept, and will my settings for Safari and Mail be kept?

    Yes. Upgrading doesn't muck with your or 3rd-party stuff unless the latter is incompatible. Then, the installer will those things into a root-level folder entitled Incompatible Software. As for your printer, ensure that you install the latest printer update before upgrading. Also, note that all PPC apps will no longer work.

  • Is it possible to have a Lion OS and snow Leopard using the bootcamp?

    I bought a macbook pro 13" 2011. I have other programs that will run only in Snow Leopard OS just like Logic Pro 8. Is it possible to install snow leopard aside from my current Lion OS? How to install? Is it possible to use both OS in my mac? I need your help. Thanks!

    OOPS!  I just noticed you actually have Lion, and want to go back to Snow Leopard.  That may or may not work.  The first test would be to see if you can boot your new MacBook 13" from a Snow Leopard installation DVD, or from another Mac in Firewire Target mode, or a bootable external Snow Leopard disk (SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner created).
    If that works, then Yes, but before trying anything make sure you have full backups (SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner, or even TimeMachine).  2 copies would be even better.
    Bootcamp is not needed.  Bootcamp is an aid to installing and running the Windows OS
    You can install Lion on an exteernal disk, and boot from that by holding down the Option key during boot.
    You can repartition your internal disk so you have 2 partitions.  You restore your Snow Leopard backup to one partition, and install Lion on the other.  You can choose to boot into either partition by holding own the Option key during boot.  You could also use System Preferences -> Startup Disk to switch between Snow Leopard and Lion.
    You can use virtual machine software (VMware Fusion, Parallels, VirtualBox) on Snow Leopard (does not work the other way), then install Lion in a virtual machine (your MacBook should have a minimum of 4GB if you are going to try this).  This would allow you to run Snow Leopard and Lion at the same time.
    You could buy one of those kits that replaces your DVD drive with a Solid State Disk (SSD), and instlal Lion on the SSD, and again boot holding the Option key or use Startup Disk system pref to switch between the OS versions.

  • Using lion and snow leopard on the same computer/ partition?

    In the old days to partition a hard drive on a computer the hard drive had to be erased/ reformatted first.  Do I understand correctly that partioning a hard drive no longer requires this?  Can someone explain, as if I'm 6 years old, how to do this?  I want to upgrade to lion so I can use i-cloud on a mpb  but must still have snow leopard due to a couple of ppc programs/files I still need  (such as the data in chronos personal organizer, quicken 2007, and maybe a few more).  So how exactly do I do this, without reformatting etc.  ?   Sharon

    Launch Disk Utility->Help->Disk Utility Help->Creating new partitions on a disk. Note, that to dynamically add a partition, journaling has to be enabled on all partitions. I have my iMac's 1 TB HD partitioned into three bootable volumes. Two running SL and one running Lion.

  • Is it possible to have Leopard and Snow Leopard at the same time?

    If you have an Imac with an external USB HD, can you have Leopard on the HD of the iMac and install a fresh copy of SL on the HD? Would it work?

    Thanks for asking, you reminded me of two things to keep in mind. Let's say you have two drives, let's call them SL and Leo. If you boot with SL all your preferences and settings are on the SL drive and if you boot with Leo, they are on your Leo drive. There's no crossover and nothing dangerous to worry about.
    There are, however, two little things to think about. a) by default, when you boot with Leo your files will save to your Leo account folder and when you boot with SL they'll default to your SL account folder. This can get confusing. There are several solutions but the easy one, and the one I used, is to use DefaultFolder and set default save folders so that the file selector automatically chose my SL folder to save into.
    The other issue involves Spotlight. When you switch from one OS to the other, Spotlight will try to reindex both drives. This isn't dangerous but it does bog down a slower computer. My solution was to use the Spotlight preference in Leopard and turn indexing off completely by making both drives private.

  • I need to run Lion and Snow Leopard on the same computer

    i have no money so the solution needs to be free.
    Can anyone help?

    Pondini: Formatting,  Partitioning, Verifying,  and  Repairing  Disks... - http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html
    but I wouldn't just launch into this. I suspect your computer cannot run Snow Leopard as a major boot system.  There may be virtualization options, but if you don't know how to partition a drive then 2 pages of instruction using command lines to achieve virtualization may take a bit of easing into.  I haven't really gone into it myself, though I do recall discussions questioning legality.

  • ITunes 10 and Snow Leopard 10.6.4 update

    Hi Everyone:
    Yesterday I ran a standard software update, which installed iTunes 10 and upgraded the system software on my Mac Mini to 10.6.4.
    Now when I try to launch iTunes, I get this message: "This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes."
    There were no glitches during the update process that I could see. Also, this update was not done over WiFi. Fortunately, my library does not appear to be affected.
    Any suggestions? Wait for a fix, reinstall, or go back to iTunes 9?
    Many thanks.

    I should try downloading from this site:

    and reinstalling. (Oddly, I didn't see the actual download details on Safari but I did on FireFox, so possibly you may need to try that.)

  • Can i have both leopard and snow leopard on the same partition?

    I have a MacBook Pro with 10.5. I want to install 10.6 and keep 10.5 on the same drive. The drive has only one partition. What problems might I encounter.

    Yes you can, you could put the two in separate partitions to be safe.
    Unless,  as Michael noted, you use VM software to run a different OS on the same  partition, impossible is the word you're looking for. Not safe.
    He asked if you can or not. not safety advice. It's a simple yes or no. and yes you can. For all I am concerned, the man is an evil genius building an IT bomb before his final day after an untimely layoff. It's a yes or no question man. Did not ask your opinion on the highly unlikely event that he is able to go through the initial system checks and failsafes, and installation, and then the cosmic chance of success.  If you notice, the only thing I stressed was to get your backups. After that, go nuts.  It's how you learn.
    Trigger a dependency issue that the OS tries to correct and it snowballs into a mess.
    Is that supposed to mean something? Anything?
    Are you by chance one of the apple-sticker-prius jockeys who deliberately close the door on me in the far left lane because you feel that every situation has a moral right and a wrong, and you're left to opine?  Except what's happening is I'm on my Yamaha and a you're technically attempting murder? I"m used to this guy.
             ALright say your mac OS =64 bit, but the hardware inside is 64 and 32. Off the top of my head- the Intel GMA chipsets are still running 32 bit drivers regardless of OS. Install 64bit on that machine and I think you're going to have issues with faulty driver dependencies where GMA spots a newer driver on the old 32bit partition vs. install disc. Youcan't fix this. By the time you start seeing errors, the OS has already tried fixing the dependencies by following down the 32 bit trail and dumping its own core. Try it if you don't believe me.
    you want to fill the disk with zeros.
    kadaggett (or anyone for that matter), do not follow this advice. It won't make a spit of difference how fast your  Mac will operate. The only purposes for a zero erase is to either try to  map out bad blocks that have developed (in which case, you should  replace the drive), or you're making it much more difficult for anyone  to recover deleted data.
              Right off the bat I think you should stay away from SSDs or perhaps run them in IDE mode to be safe. Or you'd bereplacing them every other day.  WHat I"ll be doing is allocating 10% to cache, playing with the trim, keeping it <50% full, and using 60GB cache to run my OS. You do what you like.  Send me your old HDD's though. Ever try formatting an SSD? And then it actually boots as if you hadn't formatted? Hey you thinkinn maybe sentient Macs experience phantom limb syndrome?
    I find and fix bad blocks and realize 90% of them weren't bad. I don't know maybe the ghosts are back. But maybe it was static shock that temporarily crippled a few blocks. Can't know until touch it with a 0. And there is nothing wrong with 0s.  This is not 1987 and you are not going to hurt your What?  Don't order people to follow this or that advice - are you like the hall monitor around here?  WHy do you tell people what follow? Why do you assume they are here to follow? Do you feel like you just led people to the right path? You feelin good? Because I think we both look like ********.

    You can not use a DVD that shipped with one Mac to load on to another. To upgrade to Snow Leopard you will need to purchase the Snow Leopard DVD.
