Mavericks issues. Will doing a clean install from Snow Leopard back to Mavericks get rid of the bugs?

I'm using a Mac pro 2008, 10GB RAM (6 after Mavs upgrade), Nvidia 8800 GT.
After Mavs upgrade Chrome crashes when I go to youtube. Tried reinstalling Chrome and
it kept crashing. It even crashes when I open up the preferences. Final Cut X's share menu
doesn't appear. At this point I'll reinstall everything just get my machine running smoothly again.
Thanks in advance!

Thank you all for your input,
Update:
I did what benwiggy said to do and created a new user. Chrome worked and FCP's share menu was present.
After Effects won't open ( something about a missing font).
When I go to the original user Chrome and FCP problems persist, and After Effects works fine after a safe boot. Another issue is that of the memory. Before Mavs upgrade it was at 10 GB.

  • I did a clean install of snow Leopard and now my iWork 09 will not work. does anyone one know where I can download the version for snow Leopard?

    I did a clean install of Snow Leopard and now when I reloaded iWork 09 from my timemachine it will not open anything. any ideas.

    iWork '09 is still available from the likes of Amazon.
    Your experience is why I never trusted downloaded versions when there's a physical DVD available.
    It may be possible to reactivate with your code, but I can't advise you as to how.

  • Will i have problem upgrading from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Maverick ?

    will i have problem upgrading from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Maverick ?

    Impossible to know. But I would make a backup before doing so, just in case. I would also do the following:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    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. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    If you wish to save yourself a lot time should you need to reinstall Mavericks at some point in the future then see the following:
    Make Your Own Mavericks, Mountain/Lion Installer
    After downloading the installer you must first save the Install Mac OS X application. After the installer downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
       2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the leftside list. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    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.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
    Make your own Mavericks flash drive installer using the Mavericks tool:
    You can also create a Mavericks flash drive installer via the Terminal. Mavericks has its own built-in installer maker you use via the Terminal:
    You will need a freshly partitioned and formatted USB flash drive with at least 8GBs. Leave the name of the flash drive at the system default, "Untitled." Do not change this name. Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy this entire command line after the prompt in the Terminal's window:
         sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume
         /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
    Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed to the screen so be careful to enter it correctly. Press RETURN, again.
    Wait for the process to complete which will take quite some time. When completed it would be wise to test the installer by checking that it boots the computer and is then ready for installation.

  • After clean install of Snow Leopard, Time Machine did not restore all files.  When I try to restore these files I get "Not enough disk space" error.  What do I need to do to get these important files back onto my Mac from my external hard drive??

    For what the Apple Store's charge you can buy almost buy a new computer.
    Just for giggles I brought my old laptop in for a drive upgrade and asked, they wanted $600 for a drive that only cost $120 at the time and it was a slow 5,400 RPM drive. The new Mac's of a similar make were going for $1000.
    I did the drive replacement myself, got a faster drive of better quality for $300 instead.
    Then another time I asked for a RAM upgrade from 4GB to 8GB, they wanted to charge $400 + $35 for the labor.
    The same RAM is on Crucial.com for $90 and all I need is a 00 micro phillips screwdriver.
    So you see what's going on here.
    I think what you should do, if your out of warranty/AppleCare, is to call up the local PC tech guy who also does Mac's and have them fix you right up.
    They can offer more personalized care which you need. Clone your old drive to the new and everything.
    With Apple they are overworked at the Genius Bar and just place roadblocks so you buy a new machine instead.
    For instance, all new iMac's now have proprietary drive software installed on the hard drives for heat monitoring. So now the only choice a user has is to bring their iMac into a Apple Store for a very expensive drive upgrade, which a person then decides the money is better spent buying a new machine.

  • Clean Install of Snow Leopard and Multiple Drives

    Greetings,
    I want to do a clean install of Snow Leopard because of various issues carried over from previous upgrades and the like. I have the original 250 GB ATA drive and a 1 TB ATA drive installed, plus a couple of other external drives available via USB and Firewire. I was wondering if there would be a recommended configuration of the install of the OS utilizing the multiple drives? i.e. using the 250 GB drive exclusively for the OS and the 1 TB drive for Applications, music files, photos, games, etc. would I have to make any specific changes to the location of any of the folders and would this create any problems when doing so? Am I over thinking this? I am a little confused as to how to approach this. Please help any advice will be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

    What kind of issues? There are very few that warrant a clean install to eliminate & some that will just recur until you find & eliminate their real cause.
    I was wondering if there would be a recommended configuration of the install of the OS utilizing the multiple drives?
    The only ones I recommend are those that dedicate a drive other than your normal startup one for backups. To be clear, I mean that the originals & the backups should be on entirely different drives, not just on different partitions of the same drive.
    i.e. using the 250 GB drive exclusively for the OS and the 1 TB drive for Applications, music files, photos, games, etc. would I have to make any specific changes to the location of any of the folders and would this create any problems when doing so? Am I over thinking this?
    Yes, you are probably over thinking this.
    There are some advantages to using a different drive for user files & possibly even for the entire user home folder, but there are also possible problems for any configuration different from the standard one with the OS, apps, & all user folders on the same startup drive. As already suggested, you can move large users folders for some apps like iTunes libraries to a different drive (or even split the media content among different drives) but unless you have a compelling reason to do so, it is much simpler to leave everything in the default configuration.

  • Help Please! Trying to do a clean install of Snow Leopard on a new drive

    I'm trying to help a family member with his Mac Mini.
    He installed a new HD and we're trying to do a clean install of Snow Leopard from the DVD. I've tried booting to the DVD by holding the C key during boot up and that does nothing. I've tried mounting his HD on my Macbook and installing that way and that doesn't work either.
    How do I install this if you don't have an OS on you drive to boot up to?

    I was able to boot it in target disk mode by holding T. I formatted the drive as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) I've read in a couple places about GUID but I can't find that as an option on the Disk Utility.
    Partition tab, Options button.
    Is it possible to load the OS onto the Mini from my Macbook? I can see the installation DVD and the HD on the mini from my Macbook, but when I try to install I get a warning that it can't be installed on that volume.
    It's been a while since I tried something like that, but it worked in the past. It may be complaining because the partition table is not set correctly.
    I couldn't find anything about installing on another drive. I did find this old [MacFixIt article|http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10329087-263.html] that you might find useful if you've got an external drive. Essentially, you partition it (not necessary for what you want), make an image of the Installer and then restore the image to the external drive. You can then use that drive as the boot drive. That was for Leopard, so I don't know if it will work.

  • Installing iPhoto on a clean install of Snow Leopard

    I bought a new Mac and gave my dad my old Macbook Pro (15 inch Core 2 Duo, 2006). I was running Snow Leopard on the laptop but I wanted to clean it off before giving it to him. So, I inserted the Snow Leopard disc, restarted the computer, held down C, and ran disk utility and erased it. Then I did a clean install of Snow Leopard. I didn't realize that SL did not contain iLife (I know, silly me). I would rather not reinstall Tiger, Leopard, and then Snow Leopard all over again, so is there any way to get iLife on the laptop?
    So far, I have inserted the 2nd disc of Leopard and clicked on Install Bundled Software, but kept getting Alert: This software cannot be installed on this computer. And Insterting either of the Tiger discs does not work either.

    Yes, older software will most of the time not load. Especially from a previous OSX. If I remember correctly I had to by iLife when I upgraded, I do have the disks, and I beleive I bought them after I installed SL. (SL did not come iLife)
    They do offer iPhoto on the APP store, but that is V 9.51 which won't run on SL, the most 10.6.8 iPhoto is 9.2.3
    The new iLife'11 has too new versions, that's why I said to buy the OLD version of '11
    I have all those discs as well, I would not have bought "11 if I could have loaded off one of those discs.
    Maybe someone knows a trick to make those old applcations load, and I would be most interested in finding how they did it.
    All the best

  • Questions about Performing a clean install of Snow Leopard

    Hi I plan on performing a clean install of Snow Leopard. I've never done a clean install of any OS before. I have a couple of questions. Is it easy to do? is it safe? Is a clean install of Snow Leopard better than doing an upgrade?
    Do I have to format my new internal hard Drive that I recently installed or only my Main drive?? It's basically used to store movies and music. Any info is greatly appreciated

    why and what exactly do you mean by clean install? install on an empty drive?
    I've never done a clean install of any OS before. I have a couple of questions. Is it easy to do?
    yes.
    is it safe?
    yes
    Is a clean install of Snow Leopard better than doing an upgrade?
    IMO, not if your system is working ok. doing an erase and install will buy you a lot of work migrating your data.
    Do I have to format my new internal hard Drive that I recently installed or only my Main drive??
    yes. boot from the snow leopard dvd, reformat your drive with disk utility (it's in the Utilities menu). set the partition scheme to GUID and format to MAC OS extended journaled. once the drive is reformatted, quit disk utility and proceed with the install.
    It's basically used to store movies and music.
    I don't understand, is it empty or does it have something on it already? all that stuff will be wiped out if you follow the above procedure.
    Any info is greatly appreciated
    I would recommend doing a regular install. just make sure you have a *full backup* before you do. a bootable backup using CCCloner or Superduper is teh best. a TM backup is ok too.
    BTW, you have posted this in the Time machine forum for leopard. this is really not the right place to ask this.

  • I am trying to do a clean install of Snow Leopard on an Intel Macbook Pro. (Need to partition for Boot Camp)  I have done it in the past so I know it works but whenever I select the install disk as the boot device it gets stuck on the Apple logo/pinwheel.

    Prety much what the question says. HELP!

    No the mac had come with Leopard. Then I bought the snow leopard DVD and did a clean install of snow leopard.
    If you just stuck the disk into the Leopard Mac and run the upgrader, you didn't do a "fresh install" you basically upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6 leaving all the programs and files intact.
    The white Snow Leopard disk was the right one for that machine as it had Leopard (10.5) on it previously.
    So you already have Snow Leopard installed, if you want to erase the entire drive (along with all your programs, files and OS X) and want to install Snow Leopard again, you hold the c or option/alt key down and boot the machine off the disk. Then use Disk Utiltiy to erase the entire drive, then quit and install Snow Leopard.
    How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
    Once Snow Leopard is installed you log in and use Apple Menu > Software Update until clear to get to 10.6.8 and fix security issues.
    Now I can't get it to do the install again.
    To install Windows into BootCamp, you read and run the BootCamp Assistant located in the Applications > Utiltiies folder
    It's important to change the drive format from FAT32 to NTFS before installing Windows using the Windows disk.
    Windows is rather complicated to install, if you boot to a blinking line with "press any key to continue" you need to press and hold the power button down and reboot holding the Option/Alt key down to get back into OS X.

    If your Windows programs are not going to be as CPU/GPU demanding, you may rather prefer to use a virtual machine instead
    Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?

  • Lost widgets after clean install of Snow Leopard

    Does anyone know how I can restore my widgets (& the info on them, mostly sticky notes)? I did a clean install of Snow Leopard and I was able to pretty much restore everything manually from TIme Machine. I did go into "Users/Library/Widgets" and restore that, but it seems not to have worked, all I get are the 4 default widgtets.
    Any ideas? Other than that the install went well.
    Thanks

    Weird ... still no widgets, even after restoring those files ... sorry ...
    I had about 10-12 sticky notes with semi-important info on them and it would be nice, but not critical, to have them back. I should have done a screen shot and saved that! I'm wondering if I must first create new, blank stickies first ... which would then take the info?? Seems odd, but who knows.
    If you have another idea, that would be great.
    Thanks for hangin' in there with me...

  • Clean install of Snow Leopard, but keep iCal and iTunes

    Dear All,
    I would like to do a clean install of Snow Leopard (as I am having problems after doing the upgrade). I know how to do the install, but am confused as to how to transfer back my itunes library and iCal calendars after the install from time machine. Can someone give me easy instructions please?
    Thanks, Steve

    that's up to you to decide. most people want to keep a lot more than you've indicated.
    Things like pictures, movies, documents, mail, bookmarks, passwords, applications. that's why I normally recommend backing up the whole drive.
    but it's really up to you.

  • How can I do a clean install of Snow Leopard with out losing iLife applications?

    I bought my Macbook pro in 2009 and am currently running the Leopard software. I want to do a clean install of Snow Leopard, but I do not want to lose my iLife applications.  I lost the DVD's that came with the computer. Is there any way I can do a clean install of Snow Leopard with out losing my iLife applications?
    Will a regular installation of Snow Leopard allow the App store to recognize that my computer has iLife and mark it as a purchased item in my account. If it can, then would I be able to do a clean install and re-download the apps for free.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    1. Install Snow Leopard normally; this will keep the applications intact. An actual clean installation involves either erasing the partition or creating a blank one, and neither of those will carry the applications over.
    2. The previous iLife installation won't carry over to the Mac App Store, and the Mac App Store versions are incompatible with Snow Leopard.

  • The Jump from Snow Leopard to free Mavericks OS broke my iPhoto..

    I updated my macbook pro today. I jumped straight from Snow Leopard to Mavericks. It was just like installing a really big app from the app store. However, it left iPhoto in the weeds of incompatibility. It was the latest version supported by Snow leopard and compatibilty instructions from Apple said I my computer met the requirements for the updated OS. Now my iPhoto has a big white circle with a line through it indicating that this version of iPhoto is not supported on the new OS. I cannot even view my pictures folder since it is in this broken iPhoto folder. Talked to Apple iPhoto specialist and he was super cool and checked with superviser but came to the conclusion that there is no conclusion at this moment. Day 1 downloaders should always consider this risk. I was just excited after seeing todays keynote and went for it on the macbook pro. This is what we both concluded..
    The suite of apps in iLife and iWork were usually purchased via physical disk or preinstalled when purchasing a Mac a couple years ago. So there is no update for these in the app store (the new way of obtaining and updating software). This was a bit of an oversight in todays launch of new products. I was instructed to wait a few days and see if there is a "patch" for this error of compatibility. I can be patient and wait for this, but if there is no patch... Then I am in a great deal of trouble with my Wife! Lol seriously, she had a bunch of our wedding, honeymoon, and newborn daughter pics on this laptop and I foolishly updated without backing up. To my credit, I did my homework and learned that it "should" leave all my content as is. It is like the IOS updates that just overlay the software and replace only os stuff. This was true. Everything is exactly where it was before, only I cannot access the pictures, open iPhoto, update iMovie (it prompts that there is an update, but takes you to the app store updates page and it is not there). Basically at this point, I have to re-buy iLife and iWork because my versions are too old for the operating system released today. This would be fine if I was informed that my paid apps would need to be re-bought, but Apple stated that my device was compatible and this would be a simple update much like any other app. I also have extended apple care protection for our products, but the apple support guy said that store support will not have a fix at this time either. I suggested to take note of this particular issue because anyone who jumps from Snow Leopard to Mavericks may likely face this issue. I suggested that they offer a patch for the mistake or offer a free iphoto download (or other native app that broke in the process).
    Other than my iLife and iWork apps not making a clean jump to the new OS, I really like the features and fluidity of the system. Apple makes high-quality products and innovates. I am not upset at all. Just a bit frightened because if I lost these photos and videos, you are reading a dead mans words.
    Any thoughts or suggestions are much appreciated.

    The same thing happened to me, since I have iPhoto 9.2.3
    There is some kind of "direct access" to your original photos:
