Macbook 10.5.8 Not accepting Snow Leopard 10.6.3 disk! Can anyone help me?

Hi, I just bought the Snow Leopard 10.6.3 disk to upgrade my 10.5.8 leopard, but each time I insert the disk into my Macbook, it doesn't accept it! Can anyone help me?

All macbooks with leopard can use snow leopard, so it should work.
What is the error message, if any?

    You can upgrade the iMac for no extra charge - sign into the App Store there, download and install 10.8.
    I recommend that you make a backup (Time Machine is probably the easiest method) before you install, and make sure that you are not using any applications that are incomptible with 10.8 (eg Office 2004) - other than that, it should go smoothly.

    Is your iPhone jailbroken?
    Or
    Has your computer ever been used to jailbrake or downgrade (Tinyumbrella) any iPhone?

  • I cannot connect a Sony ILCE6000 camera for wireless downloading. Sony feels I need DLNE? They do not know how to make it work. Can anyone help OS10·9·5

    I cannot connect a Sony ILCE6000 camera for wireless downloading. Sony feels I need DLNE? They do not know how to make it work. Can anyone help OS10·9·5

    I cannot use the software.. so you need to figure out where the problem is..
    But let me suggest.. the Mac is not the issue and likely the info from Sony is also up the creek.. they make PC's after all.
    It is far more likely the camera is having issues with the wireless network.
    Do you know you have a connection to the home network on the camera.. ?? You have an IP address and some internet or local access at least?
    How you will discover those things is by fiddling.. but if you can tell me what wireless AP you are using that will help.

  • Iv got a new macbook air. and cannot get it to work on my iMac? can anyone help??

    Iv just bought a macbook air external dvd drive. and i cant get it to work on my imac? Can anyone help???

    I don't believe the "Apple MacBook Air SuperDrive" is advertised to work with anything except a MacBook Air or a Mac Mini.
    According to a MacWorld article, the reason that it won't work on other models is not a hardware issue, but a Mac OS X one.  The MacWorld column described modifying a kernel extension file (dicey; a good way to make your Mac non-bootable if you mess it up); readers suggested a method that involved modifying only property list files.'
    I'm not sure I believe that it is just a software issue, or a "what is Apple willing to test and support?" one.  At the very end of the page, someone reported seeing "Extra Operating Current (mA): 600" in a USB device tree report.
    I think this drive can draw more than the standard amount of power for a USB port.  The USB ports on the MacBook Air  (and now on the versions of the Mini that lack internal optical drives) have probably been designed with that in mind.  The USB ports on the other Macs may only be supplying standard amounts of power, which might (educated guess) be insufficient for some operations (like burning DVDs).

  • My dvds that are made from iDVD will not play in a standard dvd player. Can anyone help me?*

    I am running iDVD v 7.1.2(1158).  I used to be able to make dvds that would play in a standard dvd player.  As of today I cannot.  I do not know what has changed and I do not know what needs to be updated.  Can someone assist me?
    The dvds that I can make will play from a disk image and they can play perfectly fine in a computer but not in a standard dvd player.  I am using an external dvd burner, (The same one  have always used) to create the dvds.  I am using iDVD to author them. 
    Here is a list of my hardware.

    • Material used: Video-Codec and Photo file format and Audio file format - matters too. I use
    - Video - StreamingDV .dv or AIC
    - Photos as .jpg (only)
    - Audio as .aiff 16bit 44.1kHz or 48kHz (ONLY - never .mp3 or directly from iTunes - all converted to .aiff first)
    With this I do not mean any setting in iDVD - BUT the raw material used in iMovie / FinalCut / Avid 100 / Adobe Premiere
    As this usually matters - later in iDVD
    How did You Export from Video-editing program used ? I prefer
    • iMovie HD6 - just drop the movie project icon (NOT iMovie Icon - the PROJECT one) over into iDVD big menu window (avoiding - drop-zones as they are for other tasks)
    • iMovie'08 to '11 - Share to MEDIA BROWSER - AND AS MEDIUM - not HD or other resolution as iDVD does a bad downscaling job.
    • iMovie'13 (version 10.0.x) - Share as 480p - Import this into iDVD
    • FinalCut (Pro or Express) - Export as QuickTime .mov - NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION - IMPORTANT
    • Adobe Premiere - I don't know - not tested Yet
    • Avid 100 - I don't know - not tested Yet
    Cleaning the DVD-burner - If it Burns DVDs OK then that's may be not the problem - But if it only burns CDs OK then either the DVD-burning-laser is dirty or broken.
    It is very easy to kill this DVD-laser as it over-heats if one burns several DVDs in a row. I only burn three at a time - then let it cool down for 30 minutes till next batch of three DVDs.
    Yours Bengt W
