Hi, i been notice this issue a few months ago. The Crashes starts to appear using Adobe Photoshop CS4 while I use the transform tool my Mac start crashing and getting reboot, after several days having this issue my Mac start to crash randomly using Chrome, Photoshop, or just using it normally, sometimes I turn it on and it reboot itself with a new crash all this happens on Snow Leopard so i try to update to Mountain Lion and i get it but now im getting again the crashes, the report i try to read i think is something with my Nvidia Adapter. This is one of the reports:

Well this is the report, wish you can help me and tell me what I need to do, its quite difficult to find a support in Argentina for Mac!

You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. You might be able to resolve the problem by reinstalling OS X. Try that first, if you haven't done so already. Otherwise, you may be covered by this program:
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers may not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue.
Print the first page of the panic report, and the support page linked above, and bring them with you.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
You may be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saver preference pane, but that's not a solution.

  • Install boot camp snow leopard and mountain lion

    Is it possible to install boot camp on a 2009 Mac Pro to run both Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion? The startup drive is already partitioned. I need to run two different versions of Final Cut Studio (and all the accompanying apps) and this seems the best way to keep them segregated. I know that I can run them both in Snow Leopard, but I have two different sets of Motion templates which need to be accessed.

    Alrighty, I do appreciate your time. I had already tried parallels and that was a huge waste of time. You blow away their support, by the way.
    Just to confirm assumptions before I do this, sorry, I'm an engineer.
    1. The startup drive is partitioned already.
    2. Partition (1) contains Snow Leopard and a user account.
    3. Partition (2) currently contains a media library, does not have an OS on it, and has 232 GB free.
    4. I will install Mountain Lion on partition 2 using the dmg downloaded from the app store.
    5. That partition will then become the startup drive when using mountain lion.
    6. Partition 2 will have its own user account, applications, etc.
    Almost forgot. Do I need to erase and install on that partition or can I simply install? After this I owe you a beer.

  • Can I dual boot snow leopard and mountain lion if I've installed boot camp on my drive

    Can I dual boot snow leopard and mountain lion if I've installed boot camp on my drive

    Yes as I said before. If your model Mac came with Snow Leopard and you are now running Mt Lion and have Windows installed in a Boot Camp Partition all you have to do is make the Mt Lion partition smaller, take the free space and make it another Mac partition and you should be able to install Snow Leopard into that partition.
    I have Snow Leopard, Lion and Mt Lion installed on my MBP. No Windows in a Boot Camp partition because I run Windows XP in a Virtual Machine on both Lion and Mt Lion.

  • Can I erase the boot camp partition and dual boot snow leopard and mountain lion instead

    Can I erase the boot camp partition and dual boot snow leopard and mountain lion instead

    Please don't double post. Look at your other thread.
    If you want to get rid of Windows and the BC partition use the Boot Camp assistant program to remove the Win/BC partition. Don't do it manually with Disk Utility Use the BC A program.

  • Am using Macbook pro mid 2010 running on OSX 10.9.5. It does not read my old Seagate back up plus ITB ext hard disk which opens and works on snow leopard. The back ups were made on snow leopard and mountain lion. How do I make it work on Mavericks?

    I have been making back ups on a Seagate Back up plus drive on a macbook pro running on Mountain lion. Sadly the mac was stolen and all I had was the seagate back up. I tried opening it on my old iMac running on snow leopard and after several visits to this forum managed to open it. The data was safe and sound. Now I have received a hand me down macbook pro which runs on osx 10.9.5. I'm assuming there is a compatability issue as the drive does not come on at all when I hook it up to the usb port. I checked the seagate drive once again on the imac and its light came on on that system. Then I suspected there may be a problem with this macbook pro usb port. But it seemed to work fine when i hooked my camera cord into it. Is it that I must reinstall mavericks. In which case how do I back up before reformatting or reinstalling. BTW I did the command+ R thingy and repaired my internal Hard disc which was showing errors. What do I do next, your help is most appreciated if you have had a similar problem.

    Your 2010 MBP would be able to handle Yosemite, but I would strongly suggest that you get the current problem sorted out before trying to upgrade to Yosemite. I'd also recommend another backup that isn't created by Time Machine if you are thinking of upgrading. SuperDuper and CarbonCopyCloner can make bootable clones of hard drives. If you clone your existing system to a fresh external drive, you would be able to boot from that drive and recover quickly in the event that your Yosemite upgrade didn't work out. Time Machine backups are not 100% reliable.
    It's possible that, if your internal HD is the one that shipped with your MBP in 2010, it may be failing. If it keeps needing repairs, that is probably a sign that it is approaching the end of its useful life.
    Have you run Disk Utility's Repair tool on the external drive as well?
    I mentioned the hub because some people have reported here that attaching their USB 3 drives through a USB 2 hub solved some disconnection problems. A good-quality powered USB 2 hub won't cost much.
    My most recent brush with random disconnections involved a nice new OWC drive enclosure. I used the cable that came with the drive, but the drive kept disconnecting. Using a different cable solved the problem. You wouldn't expect that what appeared to be a high quality cable would be a problem straight out of the box, but it was.

  • XServe with Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion Clients

    Okay, bare with me, as I'm fairly new to the whole Mac Server world. I have learned a whole lot over the last year and I've been able to completely manage our 60 Snow Leopard Clients on our XServe.
    Last year, I came into an existing setup with ~60 clients running Snow Leopard and an XServe running on Snow Leopard. We utilize Server Admin and Workgroup Manager to manage our user accounts and our clients. We have over 300 users and utilize Portable Home Folders with our accounts.
    Over the last year, I've learned a whole lot about managing the system that is already setup. I've made quite a few preferences and file structure changes utilizing Server Admin and Workgroup Manager. After getting new hard drives in three machines, I learned how to re-image them and get them set back up with our Workgroup Manager. I learn things pretty quickly and have a pretty high technology aptitude.
    So, here is the predictament I'm in now...our county just purchased 31 new Macs to add to our network. These are running Mountain Lion.
    I have a few questions, and I'm not exactly sure where this post should have been. I think the major questions/issues I face right now include:
    Will I be able to manage the Mountain Lion clients utilizing our existing server and Workgroup Manager?
    We need our server to work seemlessly with the 31 Mountain Lion clients and the 60 Snow Leopard Clients.
    Once I get one machine setup correctly, I need to create an image of it so that I can then utilize this image on the other 30 machines.
    How do I create an image and then deploy it?
    Do I complete this step before or after I have setup the first client with Workgroup Manager?
    Also, am I missing something? I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything important in regards to getting these new workstations setup on our network.
    Thank you so much for all your help! Any information you provide is much appreciated.

    No, you don't need an new license.
    But the Mac App Store doesn't allow you to download software, which you originally bought on DVD. Logic Studio is/was only available on DVDs, while Logic Pro, MainStage and Compressor are available in the Mac App Store as inidivdual applications.

  • Can I dual boot Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion on one hard drive?

    I want to make a new partition and be able to boot to either OS. Is this possible, if so, how? I would think just make a new partition and install the dmg file to that new partition.

    @jimmyk11: AppleCare has actually informed me that "No - this MacBooPro9,1 cannot boot Snow Leopard".
    It originally came with lion 10.7.4 installed. I have since upgraded to Mountain Lion 10.8 and (today, after a week or so of ML) I reverted to Lion 10.7.4. But now I find I can no longer boot into Lion 10.7.4 from my external FW800 drive (for troubleshooting and housekeeping). So it looks as if the "boot problems" are not confined to Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    Interestingly, I can use this same external drive to boot my iMac (10.7.4) and my older MBP8,3 (10.8) into 10.7.4 - but not the newer MBP9,1.
    The MBP9,1 with Lion and Mountain Lion is turning into a disaster when it comes to external booting. If I could, I'd demand a return and a refund. After bottle-feeding Lion for a year, 10.7.4 seems basically stable and can still boot into Snow Leopard and Lion from my external drives if needed. But now I see I have a worse problem: Crippled Hardware. I suspect this bug needs a firmware update - if it is fixable at all.

  • IP Address Conflicts - iMac and Airport Express, Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion

    In our home we have an iMac, two Mac notebooks, an iPad, an Apple TV and a Sony Playstation that all use wi-fi.  I have a recurring problem.  When several devices are connected to the Internet through Airport Extreme (wi-fi) downloads really slow down.  Since the Airport Extreme is connected directly to a Motorola cable modem that also has wi-fi, I often shift my iMac wi-fi connection to the Motorola cable modem to speed up the Internet. Lately I have been getting an IP address conflict message in a pop-up box when I shift to the cable modem wi-fi. The system preference shows the IP address automatically assigned via DCHP.  It also offers the option of DHCP plus manual.
    I am now using Snow Leopard and intend to upgrade to Mountain Lion.
    How can I resolve the conflict?  Or, should I consider some other wifi network configuration?  Is the upgrade to Mountain Lion likely to resolve the problem or make it worse?  Can I use the DHCP plus manual to manually assign an IP address to the iMac to resolve the IP address conflict, and, if so, what it the procedure?

    Is the DHCP assignment being done by your cable modem or your AirPort Extreme?
    What is the exact text of the conlict message, and where does it pop up?
    If your cable modem and your AirPort Extreme are both running DHCP servers for the same subnet (which they really should not be allowed to do), they must be set to assign addresses from disjoint pools.

  • Why did my brand new macbook pro come with Snow Leopard instead of Lion?

    I JUST bought a brand new Macbook Pro assuming that it would come with Lion, but it didn't. My brother who just bought an Air the day before me got Lion with his computer. Shouldn't new computers come with new software? I'm confused. Can anyone help me?

  • Macbook Pro OS X Snow Leopard and CS2 upgrade and CS5?

    Hi everyone,
    I am a newbie and would love to hear some thoughts on this.
    I currently have the Adobe CS2 which I use on my toshiba. but all that is about to change because I recently got a macbook pro that runs on Snow lepoard. I have read some of the other treads and have come to the realisation that my CS2 will not work on the macbook?!
    What is really the case? Is there no chance at all that I will be able to use my CS2?
    If so, that means I will need to get an upgrade. Currently, my CS2 is the normal version, but I am now a student so I will be eligible for the student discount & upgrade. Is it possible to have all that arranged over the Adobe site? I can only see the student option, but not the upgrade option for student editions. Or should I head over to a store?
    Is it true that I can wait till CS5 to come up before I lose my upgrading option?
    Even though I have had CS2 for almost 5 years now, I am still very much a beginner (shameful I know). Is it worth even getting the upgrade in my case? And will CS5 be compatible with the macbook pro leopard?
    Many thanks in advance!

    I don't accept this at all.
    Firstly, CS2 not only didn't work properly on Leopard, but nor did it on Vista. So both Microsoft and Apple are presumably grossly violating this OS upgrade principal?
    Secondly, Microsoft manage to keep their apps updated without too much complaint. Hence office 2004 still runs faultlessly on Leopard
    Thirdly, we have seen the Adobe approach to upgrades with Phtoshop / Lightroom and Camera Raw. How many people have bought a new digital SLR just to find that Adobe doesn't support it and will only support it if you pay for the next upgrade.
    Finally, the job of an OS build is to improve the OS and let 3rd party developers have the beta releases so they can test their apps on it. If the app's developer finds it is a big job, why not charge existing users a nominal fee for the patch? I'm happy with CS2 functionality and would happily pay a sensible amount for some fixes rather than £700 + for an upgrade. We all understand that software moves on, but having to pay huge sums for an upgrade after 2 years is simply unacceptable.

  • Partition HD ? Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion

    Hi all,
    I have a 2009 MacBook Pro - was running OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard - partitioned HD and installed Mountain Lion on the second partition. Is there a way to delete the Mountain Lion partition and "clone" or move my Snow Leopard OS to the second partition and keep it as OSX 10.6 whilst upgrading the first partition to OS 10.8 Mountain Lion? I hope this makes sense. Thank you in advance for any help.

    I do not believe that "cloning" of Snow Leopard is available.  Only a full initial installation following these instructions.  You could then reinstall your needed applications. 
    I strongly recommend that you NEVER keep data in a virtualized environment.  Use the Home Folder or AFP File Sharing to access your data files, modify them and then store them back in the real environment.

  • Can I run Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion on the same iMac?

    I have a late 2009 iMac with a 1tb hard drive running Snow Leopard.  Can I partion the hard drive and upgrade to Mountain Lion on one part and keep Snow Leopard on the other?  If not, can I partition my external back-up drive that I use for Time Machine to do the same thing?

    Hello, I have macbook pro, late 2008, OS X 10.5.8 and I want to upgrade to new soft, which one is the proper one for me Snow leopard or Mountain Lion, and what is the differences between those.
    What do you recommend at this time for me.
    Thanks a lot

    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion, but you have to upgrade to Snow Leopard first. Buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Then, make a backup, insert the DVD and upgrade. After upgrading, open Apple menu > Software Update and install the most recent version. Mac OS X 10.6.8 includes the App Store, so open it and purchase Mountain Lion. See if your programmes are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

    I should just change the OS and leave all your apps and data alone.  That said, if any of your apps are old and use Rosetta (ppc apps), they won't run under Mountain Lion.
    Make sure you take a good Time Machine or Clone backup before you convert.

    What OS will your Garmin work with? Funny there was someone else that did that and upgraded to Yosemite and regretted it.
    I'd say Lion if your Garmin is compatible.
    Both Lion and Mountain Lion are downloadable from the Apple Store:
