Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard, Win 7 & Ubuntu, can't upgrade to Lion

I have new 13" macbook pro with Snow Leopard on it.  With a combination of boot camp and some disc partitioning trickery, I got windows 7 and ubuntu on it as well.  Furthermore I also have a shared data (fat32) partition on the machine (so 4 main partitions - win,mac,linux,shared - plus swap partition, efi, etc).
I just download Lion and I'm trying to start the installer, but when it asks me which partition I want to install it on, all options are greyed out and the Macintosh HD partition says somethign to the effect of "this disc cannot be used to start the computer".  Is there any way for me to get lion installed without having to erase all my extra partitions and start this whole agonizing process over again?

You may be out of luck without formatting your HDD. See this article from Macworld:
(At least Recovery HD should be created. In our testing, it appears this special partition is created only when you install Lion onto an internal drive formatted with a GUID partition scheme. In addition, that internal drive must initially have only a single partition; or be a multi-partition drive that was partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant and not further modified afterwards. So not everyone will get this useful feature. Apple has confirmed some of these restrictions.)

  • HP 1312nfi Multi-funtion printer & brand new Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard

    Hi,
    I just got my Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard May 2010. I can only print and fax with my 1 year old HP 1312nfi color laserjet multi-function printer. I cannot SCAN at all. I tried loading the software that came with the printer but it wouldn't install the 'Print Director' as I had on my old iMac (with Leopard). Then I went to HP and it said not to install the software that came with the HP printer because Snow Leopard has it all. I read that there are 3 ways to scan from my computer which none of them work. I brought up the printer then clicked printer setup and when I try to bring up the 'print utility' from the last tab, it won't open anything. Where is the printer utility now? Why can't I scan? There has to be a way. HELP please?

    Found the answer on the HP site. It's the original software that works with this printer OS X 10.6!!

  • I have a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. After connecting my HP Photosmart D110 to it, the printer works but the scanner doesn't. The message is"The scan cannot be performed because another program has control of the HP imaging device". Can anyone help?

  • I have a MacBook pro with snow leopard 10.6

    I have a MacBook pro with snow leopard 10.6, how do I erase everything and start fresh? I forgot my password and it asks me to enter it when i insert the disks and select install?

    Restart with the Option key held down and restart from the disk. If this produces a screen with a padlock, provide the computer's firmware password; if you don't know that, contact Apple or an authorized service provider.

  • My macbook pro with snow leopard does not startup completely

    i have a macbook pro with snow leopard. When i start up my boot up process if ok but then turns black before it goes to login. i close the top to see if it is on. it is, and then when i lift the top up my login shows. it seems to be stalling in start up mode. i did take it to my local mac guy and they gave me a new logic board as they said my particular year (2008) had a recall on my motherboard. However i still have problem.

  • Can you still buy a macbook pro with snow leopard?

    can you still purchase a new macbook with snow leopard?

    No.  However, some used and refurbished Mac shops still have MacBook Pros with a warranty sold with them*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/usedrefurbished.html
    And yes, they are Snow Leopard compatible.  July 20, 2011 is the cutoff date.   So be sure the model predates that vintage.

  • HT1553 Does using Disk Utility also backup MSOffice 2008 (Mac) software already installed on my Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard? If not, how would I do that?

    Hi,
    I'm looking to upgrade from Snow Leapord (10.6.8) to the new Mountain Lion. Have a lot of applications and softwares that I would like to back up when installing the new OS, such as MS Office, Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. Any ideas on what is the best way to do that.
    I'm not too tech savvy, so a simple solution would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Shyam

    If your not very tech savvy, I would have someone assist you in the upgrade process as your about to inflict major change on your life and computer.
    There are some things to consider before you upgrade.
    1: The age of your machine:
    My advice has been if your Mac is less than two years old and has a dedicated graphics (not all only Intel HD 3000 or 4000 CPU graphics like the 13" has)) then you stand a very good chance of 10.8 (or 10.7) running fine on your machine.
    In either case you need to check the specifications of your machine to see if it meets Apple's requirements, and unfortunately those requirements are a bit low, resulting in a slower machine when you upgrade.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS_X_Mountain_Lion
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Lion
    (note: 10.7 is no longer being sold via the AppStore, you should upgrade to 10.8, however some machines can't, you can call Apple Sales to upgrade to 10.7)
    If your machine originally came with 10.5, I would say forget it. Mac's don't last forever and laptops usually have a life of about 4 years with normal use. Desktops last longer of course and can withstand more OS X upgrades if Apple allows it.
    2: The age of your software.
    10.7 and 10.8 will not run PPC based software of old like 10.6 does, also upgrading to 10.8/10.7 may require expensive software upgrades that can hit you unexpected. Consult this site and your other needed software and hardware drivers/software (for printers/scanners,custom keyboards/mice etc) BEFORE you upgrade the operating system.

    3: Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper  "clone" (payware)
    Your OS X boot partition to a new/reliable, blank powered external drive and use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions on both afterwards. You can hold the option key down and boot from this clone drive to use the computer like before if your OS X upgrade fails and the machine gets bricked. You can also use Disk Utility to erase the entire internal drive and reverse clone if you find out the OS X upgrade is not to your liking.
    Make sure all other drives are disconnected, like TimeMachine when cloning or upgrading OS X, thus when you reboot TimeMachine doesn't self update itself, which can lock you out from going back in time to restore from.
    Note: If you have Bootcamp, you can clone that with WinClone (payware) to another drive and recreate Bootcamp later and restore it.
    4: Some firmware updates can possibly "BRICK" your hardware
    Firmware updates progress in a forward manner and can't be downgraded, so what sometimes occurs is a software error by programmers or a hardware glitch on your machine won't 100% cooperate with the firmware update and thus your machine will fail to function. Sometimes even a interruption in the OS X upgrade or firmware update process will cause the problem. When this occurs, a trip to a Apple Repair is in order and if your machine is out of AppleCare (3 years) or the 1 years standard warranty your looking at a very expensive logicboard replacement. At this time you usually consider the cost not worth it and rather spend the money on the newer machine, especially if it's 2-3 years old. This can come as quite a shock as you expected to pay $20 for a OS X upgrade and now have to buy a whole new machine.
    You can't not upgrade the operating system for security and bug fixes, however you make sure you have AppleCare that will protect you for three years if such a hardware bricking occurs. If you don't have AppleCare you might want to reconsider taking the chance upgrading the operating system and thus the firmware.
    AppleCare can be purchased within one year of the original machine purchase, it gives one 3 years of care from the date of machine purchase, not from the date of AppleCare purchase.
    5: Market share of OS x versions (apx)
    10.4 4.5% security updates > no
    10.5 15% security updates > no
    10.6 52% security updates > yes
    10.7 30% security updates > yes
    10.8 2 million upgraded so far, just released
    6: Your decision to upgrade or not
    It depends upon your computer technical ability, the age of your machine, your software investment and your budget.
    Can you afford to pay for professional assistance if your upgrade doesn't go as expected? Are you in AppleCare?
    Can you afford to pay for upgrades to third party software?
    Can you afford the downtime while your machine is being repaired?
    Can you live without the "new features" newer OS versions provide?
    Does your hardware even support the newer features?
    You might decide the upgrade is not worth it for your older machine and decide to ease yourself into a new machine gradually. I took this approach with my 2006 MacBook Pro, buying a Early 2011 model. I then upgrade to 10.7 on the older 2006 machine and glad I did, because it got bricked. Turned out 10.7 was a pretty awful upgrade and I was out of AppleCare, however 10.8 seems to be "normal" far as OS X upgrades go, some problems but not mass bricking of machines.

  • Macbook Pro with snow leopard pre-installed

    Does anyone know when the retail apple store locations will have the 13inch MBP pre-installed with snow leopard? i called up the local apple stores in my area and they still dont have these yet, maybe they need to get rid of old stock? i understand that snow leopard comes pre-installed when purchased online but i dont want to do that.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Are you sure? You realize if you ever find a software title that is not Snow Leopard compatible, but is with older versions of Mac OS X, and you buy a Mac with Snow Leopard prebundled, there likely will be no way of going back to Leopard or earlier. This has been the case with all new Macs once they come prebundled with a new operating system.
    Unless you are 100% certain of Snow Leopard compatibility, I would be happy to have this reprieve.

  • MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard,  with remote display in clamshell condition

    Having trouble with operating Late 2008 MacBook Pro with Extended keyboard and Kensington Bluetooth mouse and a HP 2159m display with the clamshell closed.

    I have the A/C adapter power cord attached. It seems that the only way I can get it to work is to close the laptop cover down until its screen just goes dark and then use a stick (ruler) to push down one of the letter keys to get it awake again. then I can shut the clamshell I really did follow the inst (several times)

  • Magic Mouse not recognizing on MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.2

    I've tried everything I know how to do and now I'm asking for help. I just purchased the Magic Mouse yesterday and successfully paired it to my MacBook Pro. Left click and Right click both work fine, but I can't scroll or use any gestures with it. I searched the support forum and saw the need to download the Wireless Mouse 1.0 for Snow Leopard, which I did but nothing changed - still have the same preference screen as before. I'm running Snow Leopard and have all the latest software updates. I tried downloading the app "MagicPrefs" listed on the website, but the console shows that it keeps crashing. At this point, I'd be happy to get the expected Mouse Prefpane as shown in the documentation. All I get is the normal USB mouse settings - nothing else.

    Hello w:
    Try trashing a preference file and restarting (com.apple.bluetooth.plist).

  • MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard and an iPad 2

    My MBP doesn't really communicate with iCloud. How can I get my Mac Mail mailboxes to my iPad? I have an iCloud Mobile Me IMAP account that comes to my MBP. But the mailboxes that I create on the computer are not synched to the iPad. I started this discussion on the iPad board but I think it belongs here. Thanks.

    You can sync data "manually" via configuring in iTunes under the appropriate tabs when the device is connected to the computer and selected in iTunes.
    Otherwise, you can upgrade OS X so you have iCloud:
    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 can 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 iCloud services; 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) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
