Mail version in Snow Leopard

I´ve upgraded OS from Tiger to Snow Leopard. Now Mail doesn´t start because of version 2.1.3. When installing Snow L, isn´t Mail included in package and should be upgraded..?

Solved..!

What is mail version for Snow Leopard 10.6.8?

I had switched to iCloud from MobileMe some months ago. Today opened Mail and iCloud imap acct wasn't there. Then mailboxes loaded but in prefs the acct is labeled "Mobile Me." And mail version is 4.6. What happened? What to do ?

Snow Leopard has never heard of iCloud so you have to set Mail up manually for the different servers. If you are having problems I suggest deleting the account you have and setting it up from scratch as described here:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
You may find it it described as 'Mobileme IMAP" - don't worry about that, as long as you follow the procedure it should work fine.

Really stupid bugs in Mail 4.2 (Snow Leopard 10.6.2)

Hi everyone,
I decided to write about all bugs that I discovered in Mail 4.2 (Snow Leopard 10.6.2) since there is no known solution and since Apple's MobileMe Chat Support does not have any clue how to resolve this issues. First – I have three configured e-mail accounts: MobileMe, Gmail (IMAP) and third-party IMAP account.
The issues are:
1. IDLE command turned on causes new mail sound stop working. If I unchecked this option in all accounts (also MobileMe) the sound is back. If any of the accounts has this option checked, sound stops working again. So I found a workaround (not a solution) – I set checking for new mail to 'every 1 minute' and hoped everything would work.
2. But it's not working as one could imagine... At first it is, but then, after some time for no known (at least to me) reason Mail doesn't receive any new mail from third-party IMAP account and Gmail. MobileMe is still working. I tried every solution that in my opinion could have helped: erasing account and setting it up again, rebuilding mailboxes, deleting envelope index file, repairing permissions etc. Nothing helped. I even installed once again Mac OS X 10.6.2 Combo Update to be perfectly sure I did everything.
3. Next bug I discovered is with sending e-mails. Since I sometimes want to have access to my draft messages from internet I checked 'Store draft messages on the server' checkbox. Now... when composing a message in Mail app it's momentarily saved on the server, whether it has attachments or not. Then when the message is complete I push the Send button and the message is being sent. The reasonable mail app would then delete the draft version of this message from the Drafts folder. But not Mail 4.2, regardless in which e-mail account the message is stored. It doesn't delete the draft, what's more then synchronizes it with my other computer and then I have to log to webmail to delete the unwanted draft messages manually. VERY annoying.
Please let me know if you have similar problems or maybe anyone has a solution?

It is my thought and contention that #1 is not a bug, but purposeful -- see:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11160423#11160423
With regard to #2, have you ever removed the Envelope Index without first removing any IMAP or Exchange account folders? If so, that can problematic. I cannot confirm any of the experiences you are having. I have 15 accounts, 7 of which are IMAP, and the latter include one Gmail and one MobileMe, and none of these issues are present. Have you tried creating a New User Account and setting your IMAP and Gmail up as that New User to further test the application itself?
The issue with Drafts being saved beyond their apparent usefulness is not new to Mail 4.2 -- happened with some frequency in all versions of Mail 3.x, and probably less frequently in 4.2. When it has happened, which is relatively infrequently for me, it has been seen in POP and IMAP alike.

I have installed the most recent version of Snow Leopard on my MAC, and I am trying to install Mountain Lion from the Apple Store. It will not install, because it says I do not have 2GB of memory, even though I have over 200GB available. Please help.

I have installed the most recent version of Snow Leopard on my MAC, and I am trying to install Mountain Lion from the Apple Store. It will not install, because it says I do not have 2GB of memory, even though I have over 200GB available. Please help.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
One thing is the memory, and another thing is the hard disk space. You are telling me that you have 200 GB of free space on the hard disk, but the App Store is telling you that you have to install 2 GB of memory or more on your Mac if you want to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
First of all, open  > About this Mac > More Info, and copy "Model Identifier" here, so we can know what Mac you have got and how much memory you can install.
We recommend to buy the memory in OWC or Crucial (Crucial is cheaper and offers the same compatibility warranty as OWC) because you won't probably have any problem with the memory you buy there

I just downloaded the latest version of Snow Leopard and now my iWeb won't open.

How do I upgrade my Core2Duo Mini OSX10.4.11 to the latest version of Snow Leopard?

How do I upgrade my Core2Duo Mini OSX10.4.11 to the latest version of Snow Leopard?
I am aware I should upgrade from 1GB to 2GB of RAM. Can I just purchase the Snow Leopard DVD and install from that? Will I be able to run my Microsoft Office 2004 suite? Is it worth doing? I can't run any decent browsers with this old dinosaur.....but I'd rather not cough up $600 clams for a new one....
I have 7GB available on my hard drive.
Thanks in advance for help with this.

You may also want to upgrade the HD or at least move large libraries onto external disks (since a macmini generally does not move like a laptop an external disk is just another desktop item). 7 GB free will be chewed into hard by SL and you should always have 15-20 GB free to allow OSX room to perform normal operations.

I have a mac book pro that i bought in late 2009. My current software is snow leopard version 10.5.8. I would like to get the new lion operating system but I cant without first getting the latest version of snow leopard. it doesnt show on software updat

I have a mac book pro that i bought in late 2009. My current software is snow leopard version 10.5.8. I would like to get the new lion operating system but I cant without first getting the latest version of snow leopard. however when I go to update my software it doesnt show that any update is available.

10.5.8 is Leopard, not Snow Leopard. You need the Snow Leopard DVD;
You can get it only by phone now from Apple.
In the US, call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for a sales assistant. Last quoted price was $19.99 for the single-user and $29.99 for the family licence.
For other countries, check here; http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
Don't forget to ask for Sales; the tech support guys can't help.
If you want Lion, rather than Mountain Lion, the same Sales team can give you a download code to use at the Mac AppStore.
To get the App Store, you need to update your new Snow Leopard from 10.6.3 (which is the version on the installer) to 10.6.8 with the combo update; http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Be warned that the upgrades will render a lot of older software unusable, and will need new drivers for printers and scanners in all likelihood.

Is there a way to install Japanese version of Windows 7 on my macbook (English version running Snow Leopard)?

Hi,
I need to use some Japanese software which have to be installed on a computer running Japanese Windows OS in order for them to work properly. My macbook was purchased in Canada, meaning running English version of Snow Leopard. Is such thing possible?
Thanks!

The language of your Snow Leopard has nothing to do with whatever version of Windows you want to run, which you will have to do via Bootcamp or one of the virtual apps like Fusion or Parallels.
If you do want to change the language of your Snow Leopard, it can be done in a few seconds by moving a different language to the top of the list in system prefs/language & text/language and then logout/login.

How do I change incoming mail settings in Snow Leopard Mail?

When I try to change the settings for my Mail app, in Snow Leopard, the incoming mail settings are greyed out. What do I do to be able to change these?
(I had a problem, with my Mail account, which a consultant fixed for me on my laptop. But I cannot remember what he did to access the incoming mail server preferences, and make the changes, because on my desktop these are still greyed out.)

use the mail setup wizard, head over to Mail Community, mobileme ended.

What exactly is the newest QuickTime version for Snow Leopard

The current download on the Apple.com for quicktime is the version 7.xx, so is for Quicktime pro.
But the version on my new macbook pro is 10.xx
So what exactly is the newest version? And is there a pro version for 10.xx?
PS. I also searched the apple.com for quicktime 10 and it didnt come up with much info.

OK. David thanks. But I would very much appreciate it if you could answer the following 5 questions:
Still the questions:
1. Is there a pro version for QT 10?
2. If not, does _*Quicktime 7 PRO*_ has ALL the functionality the QuickTime 10 has?
3. if not, can i install a _*Quicktime 7 PRO*_ , while keeping the QT 10? -- i mean: have the both versions on my computer.
4. Is there a direct download link for Quicktime 7 Pro (full version) (of course i will purchase it)
5. What is the newest version for Quicktime 7 Pro: 7.xxx?

1. No.
2. QuickTime Player Pro has more features and export options.
3. Both versions on Snow Leopard.
4. No need to download anything. Just install QuickTime Player from your Snow Leopard DVD and enter the registration info.
5. Snow Leopard is 7.6.3. Windows is 7.6.5 and Tiger and Leopard is 7.6.4.
Thanks Kirk,
========> 3. Both versions on Snow Leopard.
You mean: on Snow Leopard, the i can simultaneously have the both version installed?

I have a SnowLeopard DVD, and I am going to try if i can install QuickTime 7 from the DVD according to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3678 , and having my QT 10 already installed.
I will let you know if this will work.

Which version of Snow Leopard to buy for a clean, non-upgrade installation?

I have a MacBook Pro 13”3, Mid 2009, I am the second owner. The computer was originally bought with OS X Leopard and later upgraded to Snow Leopard.
The previous owner does not have any installation discs, so I have to start from scratch.
My question is, which version of Snow Leopard do I need to buy, so I will be able to legally make a clean, stand-alone, non-upgrade installation?
Here are two I found at sites of different Apple Retailers:
1. Mac Box Set (Including OS X Snow Leopard, iLife 09, iWork09) Single User Pack
2. Apple Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard Operating System (Family Pack)
I have been told by a salesperson that the “Apple Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard Operating System (Single User)” cannot be purchased in Europe anymore.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thank you for your input.
I agree that the disks should have been included, but it is what it is, sadly.
I've been looking for the retail version of Snow Leopard, but can't seem to find it. Amazon UK, for example, lists it as unavailable:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/MAC-10-6-3-SNOW-LEOPARD-RETAIL/dp/B003HAFZQO/ref=sr_1_11 ?s=software&ie=UTF8&qid=1314374218&sr=1-11
If I buy the Family Pack, which is still available at some European stores, will I be OK, license-wise?
It is still much cheaper than the full Mac Box Set.

Which version of Snow Leopard Do I Need?

My MacBook is almost 4 yrs old and I'm running Leopard 10.5.8. Can I upgrad with any version of Snow Leopard and, if so, where is the best place to find a copy?
Thanks

Check the system requirements, then phone Apple sales to order a copy of Snow Leopard. After installation, you should download and run the 10.6.8 Combo Updater.

AT&T Yahoo Mail Problems since Snow Leopard

Before my upgrade to SL I used an AT&T Yahoo POP account in Mail. When I upgraded to SL, the account upgraded without a problem. I am now trying to add my husband's AT&T Yahoo POP account and I keep getting the following message:
"Logging in to the att.net POP server “pop.att.yahoo.com” failed. Make sure the user name and password you entered are correct, then click Continue. If the information isn’t correct, you cannot receive messages."
All of the settings are correct for both incoming and outgoing servers (I checked them on-line and over the phone with AT&T Technical Support) and the username and password are correct because I am able to log into the account on the web without a problem. The account is also working fine on an iphone.
I also tried re-installing Mail from my Snow Leopard Disk under Custom Installs and that did not help.
Anyone else having this problem?

Read the ENTIRE thread above and tried just about everything. All of my email accounts that existed before the upgrade seem to be working (POP AT&T account and Mobile Me). I consider myself lucky since so many people on the board can't say that.
No matter what I try, I can't add a new POP AT&T account or an Exchange account. I was able to add an IMAP Gmail account. I keep getting a message telling me that my password for the account I am trying to add has been rejected by the server.
Mail is not saving my password in the settings. I've added it countless times. I've tried with authentication and without. I've changed port settings. I had my ISP open port 25 while on the phone with them without success. I've repaired my keychains. I've deleted SMTP items in my keychain and replaced them. I've done it on my desktop and have created new desktops to try it with. Can't add a new account.
No matter how many times I enter the password (which I know with 100% certainty is correct) I keep getting the rejection message and it never "saves" the password in the Mail preferences.
Sigh...

App Store for earlier versions of Snow Leopard?

Is there any way to install the App Store app on a computer without upgrading to the version of Snow Leopard that introduced it?

No. AFAIK, it requires at least 10.6.6.

Are Different Versions of Snow Leopard specific to different Macs?

I've seen on eBay new copies of Snow Leopard that says they will only install on certain Macs, with wording like "These discs will work only with the correct computer listed above." And in the photos of the disks you can sometimes see them labeled with the name of a Mac type, such as an iMac. Yet when I go to the Apple Store to buy Snow Leopard there aren't different versions for different computers. Will any version of Snow Leopard install on an Intel-based Mac? If so, can it then be updated with the latest verion? I have an early 2008 model 4,1 MacBook Pro.

Apple when they include the hardware specific DVD with Mac, never sold them in the stores. All they sold is the generic one that worked on all Mac.
It is only on eBay that you see the gray DVD which are hardware specific for sales.
I tend to avoid purchasing from eBay because so many of the seller don't know what they are doing so they are now able to give you the correct data.
