Yes. Personally I'd recommend filling your RAM with 4GB, and of course, check your application compatibility and back up your files before you upgrade, but other than that, go for it.

What do I need to be ready for Snow Leopard?
I have an Intel Mac Pro with OS X 10.5.8. What do I need to do to be ready for Snow Leopard? Specifically, do I need to do an intermediate OS X upgrade?
Thanks.
DavidPLEASE tell people what model.
And no one knows but it is possible that Pre-2008 model will not be supported as they lack UEFI.
It is possible to boot ML even so but that could change. MacPro 1,1 and 2,1 likely will not be supported, those models dont' support 64-bit kernel mode.
My guess, stay where you are until you need to or buy a new Mac. -
Getting ready for Snow Leopard + Windows 7... help?
I have a currently 300g Hard Drive in my early 2008 MacPro (with 50g free), and really want to go to a dual-boot w/ Snow Leopard and Windows 7 here in a few months.
I have another internal drive that's 750g, and I'm thinking of using that one as my startup drive. That way (obviously) I can partition it and have more room for both operating systems (2/3 Snow Leopard, 1/3 Windows)
My question is this: What's the best way to go about this?
Should I go ahead and partition that drive, and then copy my current system onto the 2/3rds I want to use for Snow Leopard, and then turn off my computer and swap the drives?
Anything to "look out for" when partitioning? I've never done it before...
After I swap the drives, I automatically start-up on the correct partition?
Also, is 750g too big for a startup drive?
Maybe stupid questions, but I'm really looking forward to both of these operating systems coming out, and I want to make sure I get it right!
tia,
eI actually want to put both on the 750, so I can have all the rest of my internals be 1tb each (i keep my video editing stuff on one, my audio editing on another, and my iTunes on the other).
Just make sure you've got all that stuff backed up. Lots of people get a false sense of security, thinking "My stuff isn't on the boot drive, so it's safe," but this couldn't be further from the truth. Maybe this is unneeded advice, but just in case, I'd recommend reading my [Mac Backup Guide|http://www.reedcorner.net/thomas/guides/backups> (or some other backup reference).
So... I just zap the 750, partition it in Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Clone my existing Startup Disk to the correct partition, and then "point" to that as my startup volume in SysPrefs? Right?
If you're using Parallels, rather than Boot Camp, partitioning is completely unnecessary. Other than that, yes, you've got it. -
Is AppleCare's TechTool Deluxe 3.1.2 ready for Snow Leopard?
I have another year left on my AppleCare and it came with TechTool Deluxe 3.1.2. I checked the Micromat site and there is no other update.
Does anyone know if it is compatible with Snow Leopard?
ThomIt seems the current techtool deluxe apple offer for download is also incompatible with more recent models of MackBook Pro. WHen I went to download the Techtool Deluxe from https://support.apple.com/techtooldeluxe/main?id=dl I get this message:
+Note: The MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008) *are not fully compatible with this version of TechTool Deluxe*. The MacBook Air is fully compatible with this version of TechTool Deluxe when used with the MacBook Air SuperDrive. Please check back later for a new version of TechTool Deluxe+
Does anyone know if this update (TechTool Deluxe 3.1.3 Updater) fixes just Snow Leopard compatibility - or hardware as well? -
Is iLife and Aperture ready for Snow Leopard?
Snow Leopard has Grand Central Dispatch and OpenCL built in. Does anyone know if the iLife software or Aperture use these new features of Snow Leopard? I can not find anything on Apple software. You would think that iLife and Aperture would already be optimized so Snow Leopard. If they are not, maybe updates will be coming soon? Let me know what you find out!
KeviniLife '09 is bundled as part of the Mac Box Set on Apple's Store.
iLife '08 has been reported as compatible on:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10063533�
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
says that Aperture 2.1.3 is compatible.
Whether they actually use those features, you may want to look at http://developer.apple.com/
If they are not, maybe updates will be coming soon?
Terms of use forbid us from speculating. Your question asks as to speculate what will be in a future version. If you want to find out what will be in a future Apple software, join the program on the above Developer page, and follow the non-disclosure agreement you receive. -
Getting ready for Snow Leopard Q?
Hi! When I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard, the install was very easy..(although, I can't remember if I did an upgrade or a full install) My iMac came with Tiger. After the install I did have a few kernal issues which turned out to be caused by some 3rd party apps that I had. So now I want to make sure that I don't have any "Stuff" on my iMac that could cause a problem when I upgrade! My Mac runs beautifully. The only concerns I have is the amount of errors that Disk Permissions comes up with that don't go away even if I run it multiple times. I am under the impression that this is a Leopard problem that for the most part can be ignored? Bill

Am I ready for snow leopard?
Hi Forum
For some time I have wanted to upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6. I have tried it once before but experienced problems. My MBP froze for periods of 1/2min, showed the color wheel, and sounded like working strangely at the HD. This pattern was repeated roughly every 10th minutte.
I read somwhere that it was related to the version of my HW, and later I have seen one place describing the issue as solved.
Have any of you experienced the same problem and can you confirm the bug has been solved?
My MBP:
Modelnavn: MacBook Pro 15"

Hardware-uuid: 00000000-0000-1000-8000-0019E33767BAThanks for your input Russa. Unfortunately I'm quite sure that was not the issue. The HD activity didn't sound like a regular activity - more like an error. I kept the SL for some days and things didn't change. I also found a description at a forum, stating that the error back then related to a mismatch between SL and my HW. I found no other solution than to reinstall Leopard and my programs.
It might well be that what you describe will work. I just would like to be sure - to avoid all the reinstallation -
New version Aperture (3.3) is not available on Snow Leopard (only Lion). Ok... but how to buy/reinstall Aperture 3.2.4 on my Mac of Snow Leopard?
You still might be able to buy a boxed version of Aperture 3 at a local Apple store, but that will be much more expensive than the download from the App Store.
Since you cannot upgrade your machine to Lion, I'd stick with iPhoto, until you will invest into a new computer. iPhoto libraries now can be opened by Aperture, so any work you invest into an iPhoto library will not be lost, once you transit.
No, I dont' want iPhoto. I need Aperture 3. It was available in the Mac App Store for Snow Leopard for a good price. At this moment I feel just cheated. Many people have a problem now - they have bought and can not update / reinstall. I can not buy. It should not be so. I'm sorry for my english. -
I have lost my installation disk for my mac book pro running Snow Leopard 10.6." Where can I replace it?"
You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.

I used Roxio VHS to DVD for Mac (have iMac with Snow Leopard) and the audio does not synch with the video when playing in iMovie. Any suggestions to fix?
Thanks for the reply. I tried playing with detaching the audio in iMovie, but with 20+ hours of video to correct, it would take too long. After 28 hours, Corel/Roxio tech support replied that it is a known bitrate mismatch problem and they have no real fix. I strongly suggest not to buy this product.

I have Os Lion on my mac book pro, im not a fan of this because i cant run many games, i have the disk for snow leopard my machine came with but i get a error saying "unable to unmount disc" when i try erase my hard drive i just want OS SL back any help?
many thanks Carl.You must boot from another drive in order to erase the system drive.
Try starting up with Snow Leopard DVD inserted and C depress. That should get you booted from the DVD. Then start Disk Utitlity from DVD and erase the disk then you should be able to install Snow Leopard.
Remember that everything will be removed from the disk when you erase it and install Snow Leopard so backup first.

Today, was prompted to install new security update. Did so. Now when click on + to open new tab the words New Tab appear in the tab. But, no dialog boxes appear to type in wanted new URL and no google dialog box appears in the tab area.
Every thing was fine before installed this new security update 20110811165603 into Mac OS 10.6 snow leopard computer.Thanks for your reply and sorry for the delayed response - have been away for a few days over the holidays.
I understand your point about backups and disk permissions. I do have a back up copy and will adopt using the 'verify disk' step in future; so, for me the loss shouldn't amount to any more than the time I have spent, as frustrating as that is. However, I think the point I'd like to make is that doing a disk permissions check is fine for those like me [or others on this forum] since I work in a hi-tech industry, and have worked in a Unix/Linux environment for the last ~20 years so understand about permissions etc. , but I know people with Macs for whom the key advantage is that the they largely 'manage themselves' seamlessly. So, if the verify step is simply a pushbutton check-then-repair step and omitting it can lead to such fatal errors, then why can't it be built into the update script as the first automatic step ? What I mean is; my computer reached this unusable state simply by pressing 'ok' on a planned update, so to the average-Joe user it looks like a 'stop and catch fire mode'.
For info: I have now used Disk Warrior, which is reporting a disk malfunction, but can recover the user data. It seems to be a remarkable coincidence though, because there were no system problems exhibited before the update. -
Why cant i re-download xcode 4 for snow leopard from the mac app store?
i reformatted my mac's hd and didnt back up applications that i bought from the mac appstore cause its easy to re-download, so im trying to re-download and instal xcode for snow leopard the one that you purchase for 5 dollars
Been trying about 2 weeks now to get the xcode 4 for snow leopard that I purchased for $5 installed on my new macbook pro but I get the same error. After several frustrating calls and emails the final verdict from Apple was either contact the developer and get a copy (uh Apple right?) or you just can't install it since they've removed it from the App Store. They said just upgrade to Lion but I can't upgrade to Lion on my work machine since well Lion brings down our NAS. So I'm totally hosed on this one. Apple should not force us to move to Lion. That's not right.
There isn't a version of Xcode on this machine so there shouldn't be any conflicts. I REALLY need Xcode 4 installed and this is really frustrating because I already paid for the thing. -
My MacBook Pro originally came with Leopard. I have the OS and Applications disks for Leopard but I cannot find my upgrade disk for Snow Leopard. I would like to perform a clean install of Lion on the new hard drive and restore some data from my Time Machine backup. I am not looking to restore the current image to my new hard drive. I have not yet removed the exisiting hard drive nor have I wiped my data.
The only way to do that is to buy a New SL Retail DVD. Or you could buy the Lion Install USB thumb drive from Apple for $69.
You must have SL installed to then install Lion or have a thumb drive with the Lion installer.
You could also create a Lion USB Recovery thumb drive using Lion Disk Assistant. But you need to have Lion already installed and the Lion RecoveryHD Partition on your drive to make the Recovery thumb drive.

hi. i am wondering if i could buy MAC OSX 10.6 SNOW LEOPARD and put it into my windows Computer and erase windows and put MAC on it? i just bought an. HP Pavilion Slimline about 1-2 weeks ago. and it has. AMD Athlon II X2. With NVIDIA Graphics With Cuda.... Will it work??? please let em know....
Snow Leopard requires an Apple Macintosh with an Intel CPU. I doubt that even with extensive, license-breaking hacks you could get it to run on an AMD CPU.
