Macbook crash when upgrading OS from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard
I was upgrading my wife's macbook to Snow Leopard and halfway through the upgrade, the disk crashed. Disk utility could not repair, showing error message "unused node is not erased (node = 1125)" followed by "invalid node structure." After some other messages, I get "error: disk utility can't repair this disk...."
I don't have the original disks that came with the computer.
Can someone tell me what is going on? I can't even get the OSX disk to eject.
The macbook is fairly old, but was working fine an hour ago.
Invalid Note Structure requires a more robust disk utility such as DiskWarrior 4 - The Disk Utility for Mac Disk Repair, Mac Directory Repair, Mac Disk Recovery, Mac Data Recovery

I just upgraded OS from 10.4.1 to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Now when I tried to open Reason 4 it asks for me to insert a disc and prompts me to enter my ID for permission. What can I do?
First off, you can't have upgraded from 10.4.1, as that won't run on a MacBook. 10.4.4 is minimum. 10.4.10, and 10.4.11 are different from 10.4.1.
Secondly, it appears Reason 4.0.1 is needed for 10.6:

There may be other upgrades on:

Check with the developers in question if they are aware of any bugs in the upgrade process. -
since I did an upgrade yesterday (sept 20th 12) my macbook crashed and does an autoantic restart when doing a upgrade. It occurs doing so for iPhoto, MSoffice or Aperture.
Can someone help me on this issue?My late 2009 13" Macbook is now very laggy. For example, the cursor won't respond until many seconds after I place a finger on the touchpad. When I use the keyboard to increase or decrease volume or screen brightness, there is a noticeable lag between my inputs and what I see. Every time I pause between typing words, I find the keyboard won't respond until I wait a few more seconds. This is very disappointing. I need to roll back until Apple are able to look into any potential issues. I didn't have any such problems prior to upgrade.

So my imac has the older version 10.5.8 on it and in order to use some programs I need to upgrade to snow leopard. I made a full back up on my external harddrive already, now I need to repair the disc of the computer because it will not verify. So then that way I can clear it completely then, then install snow leopard. But I need to be able to bring back my programs like adobe photoshop, so will I be able to bring that back into snow leaopard with out a install disc? and if so how do i do that with out backing up the comp from my back up. So i can keep my memory down.. thanks for the help
The photoshop is elements 6, versions 6.0. and the computer had only 2gb of ram but I just upgraded to the 4gb to see if thatd help it from freezing up all the time and maybe go a little faster.

Can I upgrade OSX from 10.5.8 to snow leopard?
Can anyone help by telling me if I can upgrade to 10.6 snow leopard?
If you have a PowerPC Mac, no. If you have an Intel Mac, phone the Apple Store and order it. If you don't know, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu.

Trying to upgrade Os from 10.5.8 to snow leopard
I am trying to upgrade OS and have 10.5.8 I have a disc for snow leopard but it says it cannot be installed on this computer - how do I get up to date?
You need to use a retail DVD(phone the online Apple Store) and not one which originally shipped with a computer.

My MacBook crashes when loading snow leopard
I'm at long last getting around to updating my OS from Leopard to Snow Leopard so I can continue along to Lion and Mountain Lion, but the installation stalls out after the restart and throws up a massive log of failures in the installation process. What is going on, and how can I fix it? Do I need to visit my local Apple store?
I would suggest you erase your drive, then install Snow Leopard:
Drive Preparation
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. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
7. When it's finished quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
8. Update Snow Leopard by downloading and installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 so you can access the App Store to purchase and download Mountain Lion.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
7. Xserve (Early 2009)
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS. -
I'm trying to upgrade from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard but my macbook keeps ejecting the disc. It started to install the first time and said it needed to restart to finish, restarted but ejected the disc. It ejects every time now. I've also installed the 10.5.8 combo update but that didn't help it. I've tried restarting the macbook with the disc in, holding c, all that. Why won't this work?!
Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

Are return codes from APIs different when upgrading DOT from 8.0.3 to 8.1.4/8.2.3 (7-mode only)
Customer is looking to upgrade from DOT 8.0.3 to 8.1.4/8.2.3 (7-mode). There are no real API changes between these upgrades other than additional functionality being added. Howver, are the return codes from APIs any different when upgrading DOT from 8.0.3 to 8.1.4/8.2.3 (7-mode only)? Any help on this to help confirm would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks in advance. Luke
Thanks. I had the Portal 3.0.6/3.0.7/3.0.8 to Portal 3.0.9 upgrade scripts and instructions, but thought that was my last step. I hesitated on running the Portal Configuration Assistant. None of the instructions told me what to do at this point.
Anyways, it looks that by running the Portal Configuration Assitant at the end of the 1.0.2.2 9iAS install, it created a new repository for Portal 3.0.9 in my database. Since I gave it a different schema name, I now have two portal repositories. The old Portal 3.0.6 repository (jvac_portal30) and the new Portal 3.0.9 repository (j_portal30).
So, I assume I have to perform the upgrade scripts on the Portal 3.0.6 repository to get it to 3.0.9. Since we really did not have very much in the repository, we may just manually recreate everything in the new 3.0.9 repository. I have ssen several discussion threads about the upgrade and problems, so I am very leary to do it.
In regards to our J Server propblem, we left for lunch. Came back and rebooted several more times, double checked all our configuration files (made no changes), stopped and restarted Apache several more times, and then by some miracle everything started working.

JInitiator 1.1.8.7 Crash when launch it from IE
We deployed Oracle form to web and required client to download JInitiator
1.1.8.7 to use web forms. It's working fine for some client machined , but
others's Jinitiator crash when launch it from Start-->Program-->JInitiator.
The error is related Jrew.exe. When click web form link from IE, it caused IE
crash and IE closed without any error message.Doh! :8} NermD revived an old thread! :) Forms version is likely Forms 6i or Forms 9i, still it would be good to have the original author indicate these versions. Windows XP came was released in 2002! ;)

I plan to upgrade from OS10.5.8 to Snow Leopard. Will all my data, applications and settings transfer automatically?
If I need to back up what is the best way to do this?If everything works perfectly, your data should not be touched.
Personally I never trust my data to everything working perfectly.
I always backup everything twice at least. -
I have a black MacBook from 2008 and tried downloading snow leopard 10.6. It told me I had to restart my computer. However once I restarted my MacBook my touchpad and keyboard were not working so I am unable to sign in. I have no idea what the problem is
You cannot download the upgrade to Snow Leopard.
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
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. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)

4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
7. Xserve (Early 2009)
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
