My mac Have Mac Os x 10.5.8.. I try to search Snow Leopard on the Apple Store but there isn't there...
So what can I do right now? Where I can buy the Snow?
Tnks,

Your English is fine Fra
To upgrade from OS X 10.5.8, you must first buy Snow Leopard by calling the phone number in the Apple Online Store.
Make sure your system meets Snow Leopard's requirements:
Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" System Requirements
To install Snow Leopard for the first time, you must have a Mac with:
An Intel processor
An internal or external DVD drive, or DVD or CD Sharing
At least 1 GB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended)
A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
At least 5 GB of disk space available, or 7 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools

  • I upgraded my Mac from OSX 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard and then to Mountain Lion 10.8.2.  I did have Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 in my applications and now get a message "can't open Office because Power PC applications are no longer supported."

    I just upgraded my MAC from OSX 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard and then to Mountain Lion 10.8.2.  When I try to access my Microsoft Office for MAC (2004 edition) files I am getting a message "can't open Office because Power PC applications are no longer supported.  How can I access all of my save Word documents?  I just want to be able to retrieve all of my documents that were in Microsoft Office for Mac (2004).  If I purchase the newest version of MS office for Mac from Apple will I be able to retrieve my old documents?

    Use any number of free alternatives to your nearly decade old version of MS Office.
    Consider
    LibreOffice (donation-supported)
    NeoOffice (free)
    OpenOffice (free)
    In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for years. Life is better without Microsoft.

  • A few days ago, my HP printer software updated automatically, everything seemed fine (Mac is running Maverick, my laptop is Snow Leopard).  Out of the blue yesterday, my printer stopped printing (neither Mac can connect), I have tried everything.

    A few days ago, my HP printer software updated automatically, everything seemed fine (Mac is running Maverick, my laptop is Snow Leopard).  Out of the blue yesterday, my printer stopped printing (neither Mac can connect), I have tried everything.  Both the suggestion from HP and Apple, it's making me crazy I've spent most of time trying to fix it.

    You tried exactly what ?
    I most of the time would start with the same Apple Printer Support page tech articles
    OS X Mountain Lion and OS X Lion systems will have the necessary printing software already installed, or will automatically download and install software when the printer is connected or configured. Do not install software that came with the printer as it may be out of date, and do not connect the printer to your Mac yet. Follow the instructions that came with the printer to unpack, install ink or toner, and insert paper.  Finally, use the instructions in this article to connect the printer to your Mac.
    Make sure the printer model is listed in Printer and scanner software, which is a comprehensive list of all printer models that have compatible software for OS X Mountain Lion and OS X Lion.
    How to add a printer
    Start a print job on the Mac and manage its options
    Generate and manage PDFs
    Manage the printer queue and printer dock icon
    Share the printer queue

    Try to delete the print queue under Print & Fax / Print & Scan then manually add a print queue.
    Steps here: http://bit.ly/TdUuHL
    If it doesn't work, reset the printing system:

    then add another print queue manually.

  • New Mac!  Migrating issue from Tiger to Snow Leopard

    I recently bought a new MacBook Pro 15" before I relocated overseas (because I couldn't live without a Mac while I waited for my iMac to be shipped abroad).
    During the initial set-up, I used the migration assistant to transfer everything from my iMac (running 10.4) to the MacBook Pro (running 10.6). As expected, the transfer worked perfectly!
    Actually, it worked a bit too perfectly because the MacBook Pro now seems to think it is called 'Geoffrey Sharpe's iMac G5'. To make matters worse, I am not yet able to connect to the internet from my apartment so I am writing this from the PC at work.
    Is there an account setting somewhere that I will need to change?

    Geoff, how did you go about the migration? Did you simply connect the two Macs, open the MBP and follow the initial prompts to 'Migrate From Another Mac'?
    Or did you use the Snow Leopard DVD and perform a "Restore System from Backup..."? If so, not necessarily a good idea when you are moving from one Mac to another. See the following:
    Mac OS X v10.6: Issues after restoring a Mac from a Time Machine backup made with a different Mac
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3243
    Your initial Restore/Migration approach will determine which direction resolving this issue will take. So let us know by answering the questions above. The fact that it thinks it is your iMac points to the possibility that you performed a "Restore System from Backup..." and not a simply migration of your user data and apps.

  • I continue to get crashes from my Mac Laptop Maverick. I was running Snow leopard without any hassles and have now upgraded to Maverick.

    I continue to get crashes from my Mac Laptop Maverick. I was running Snow leopard without any hassles and have now upgraded to Maverick. I get continued crashes, on start up or if I am running a program like GoPro to edit video or Firefox. What to do?

    I have a fair few more, but all similar. about 35 more!!

    I have Mac OS X, can I upgrade to snow leopard?

    No problem, provided you have at least 1GB of memory (RAM), you can upgrade to Snow Leopard without difficulty.
    Snow Leopard DVD; http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
    A standard installation of SL will only replace the system files, leaving all your data and preferences intact.
    But! Things have been known to go wrong, so I strongly advise backing up your current system to an external HD with the Restore function in Disk Utility before starting the installation.

    Is this unit powerful enough to support 20 people? This is the setup i was thinking:
    Mac mini with Snow Leopard Server - 2.66GHz : Dual 500GB:
    1st Internal drive - OS only
    2nd Internal drive - OS backup via CarbonCopyCloner
    Ministack USB drive - Data backup via Time Machine (file shares etc on server from services)
    Firewire DroboPro 16TB - Client Time Machine Backups via the Network.
    Would the Mac Mini be powerfull enough to support normal OS X Server services, and at the same time act as a client Time-Machine backup via the network?
    Thanks,
    -Mike

    The answer to your question depends on how many of the services you intend to offer.
    If you are just going to use the Mini as a File, Print, and directory server, then it will work fine.
    If you intend it to run as your web, email, database, and iChat server, you might be pushing things a bit much.
    Your drive layout looks appropriate for a simple file server, so I would tentatively say yes, it looks like it would do what you currently require.

  • Mac book pro is stuck on installing snow leopard. won't work.

    i recently was mucking around with my mac book pro and soon found my self stcuk with the installation of the 'snow leopard mac OS X' no matter what i did it just wouldn't go away, all i wanted was for my laptop to just go back to normal and get back to what i had been doing only a few hours ago but nope nothing, not even the snow leopard would download to finish things off. so i contacted apple support whom we spent about an hour chatting with. that was basically hopeless, they were very nice but they just didn't know what they were doing, and best of all they wanted to charge me. so at the very ending when they told me that my hard drive was fried and there was absolutely nothing i could do but to get it taken to an apple store and pay for them to replace my hard drive i asked them if i should do the online repair thing, and he told me no i shouldn't its just a waste of time and it won't work.  so i neglected him told him a thank you and guess what, i got it to work. now my laptop is good as new and i didn't need to pay to get the hard drive replaced. lol. ok so for the people who are facing this oh my gosh its such a headache but we can do thins. so write these steps down and i promise they will work and you don't need to pay to get your perfectly fine hard drive replaced. ok so shut down your laptop completely. then when its completely off. hold don't the command button and R hold them both down and then at the same time press the on button keep holding them, you can take your finger off the on button but keep the others on the command and R until a white screen appears it will ask for wifi and then it will reset everything for you like when you first got your laptop. just follow through the instructions they give you and all is well. i hope this was help full for you if this happens.! (btw i can't remember if it was command and R or the option, alt button and R but just try the command one first and if that doesn't work then the other one)

  • How do i install Facetime on Mac, do i need to upgrade to Snow leopard?

    Hey all
    my boy's got an itouch with FaceTime on it so i want to connect my Mac Mini to it. I cannot get facetime without owning the AppStore application. I cannot install the AppStore App on the mac Mini unless i install Snow Leopard is this right?
    currently i am on Mac OS X ver 10.5.8.
    processor 1.83 GHZ intel core 2duo
    memory 1GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    my question is that do i have to pay £26 for the upgrade in order to get the App Store application?
    cheers

    That is correct; FaceTime for Mac requires Mac OS X 10.6.6. So you will need to purchase the Snow Leopard upgrade if you want FaceTime.
    Regards.

  • Can not boot from Mac OS X Install Disc 1, G5, Snow Leopard

    I have version 10.6.8 installed. Compter is a 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon. 6GB memory
    I want to run Disk Utility and startup from the install CD that came with the computer (the grey one, disc 1, or even the retail disc Mac OS X Snow leopard, the whit one) but I CAN NOT DO IT. So frustrating.
    I restart, hold down the "C" key, before the chime, after the chime, every which way, and my Mac always acts as if I am simply restarting, goes right to the login screen everytime. I tried holding down OPTION on restart to choose which to startup from, but only saw the hard drive as an option. I open System Preferences, Startup Disk and the install CD does not even show up as a choice to start from, yet the install CD shows up in the finder.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks

    OK.
    According to  the knowledge base that model should have shipped with Tiger, 10.4.7.
    Going to need some thought here, though. I was going to suggest a possible problem with the optical drive, but you say the DVD mounts on the desktop as a normal DVD would?
    Nevertheless, do you have access to another Mac or an external HD with a bootable OS X on it (later than the Tiger version your Mac Pro shipped with)?
    If so, try booting from the external, or from the other Mac using Firewire Target Disk mode, and using DU from one of those sources to repair the MP's internal HD, then try the disc(s) again.

  • Mac os 10.5.8 upgrade to snow leopard

    i have os 10.5.8 on my imac - just received the mac box set with os x snow leopard, ilife 11, and
    iwork 11 - do i need to do any other downloads or anything else before i put the disc in to upgrade
    i need snow leopard for a software i want to download
    part 2 question - software i want to download also recommends increasing memory to 2 GB - do i have to take imac in to an apple store to do that?
    thanks in advance for assistance!
    rest of imac specs
    Model Name: iMac
    Model Identifier: iMac7,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache: 4 MB
    Memory: 1 GB
    Bus Speed: 800 MHz

    1. Not that I know of.
    2. No, you can install the RAM yourself. It's surprisingly easy for such a closed-up computer. Search "removing iMac RAM" on Apple.com, and find a support file for your model on how to do it. I know there are some screws on the bottom that you undo, but I forget the entire process.

  • Mac os x 10.5.8 to snow leopard for free?

    hi all:
    i have macbook (4gb ram, intel) with leopard on it (10.5.8) and i was told that i should be able to have it upgraded to snow leopard or even lion for free. is it true or just outdated information.
    thanks.

    I believe that's outdated info, at one time  for a short period, if you had a MobileMe account you could call Apple & get 10.6 for free, but 10.6 is only about $20.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * 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.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

    Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE. Or Support... 1-800-275-2273

    It looks like they might still have it...

    Once you get it up to 10.6.8 you can download 10.9 for free, if your Mac will only run 10.7 or 10.8 then you need to get a code from Apple to download it.

  • Upgrade from Mac OS X 10.6.8 to Snow Leopard

    Ok, it's true - I haven't upgraded my laptop in a LOOONG time. I have Mac OS x 10.6.8 and I was told I needed to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.3. But whenever I try it, my laptop just turns off and restarts, I get the gray screen with the apple but that's it. It just sits there, it won't restart all the way. Then I have to do a safe restart and the Snow Leopard still isn't installed...
    What am I doing wrong?

    10.6.3 is not an update of 10.6.8. 10.6.8 is the last of the Snow Leopard updates. Now you have messed up your old system, so you are going to have to erase the drive in order to re-install Snow Leopard properly.
    If your computer came with a version of Snow Leopard pre-installed, then install that from the original software restore discs that came with the computer. Otherwise, use the Snow Leopard DVD you have if your computer originally came with Leopard or Tiger installed on it:
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. 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.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • Upgrading Operating system from Mac OS X 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard

    I have a MacBook pro & am thinking of upgrading the operating system - will there be any machine and/or software compatibility issues with, say, upgrading to the Snow Leopard when it is due out in Sept 09 ??

    Upgrading from Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger.
    If your Intel-based Mac is running Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger, purchase the Mac Box Set (when available), which is a single, affordable package that includes Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard; iLife ’09, with the latest versions of iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, iWeb, and iDVD; and iWork ’09, Apple’s productivity suite for home and office including Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
