Need Snow Leopard 10.6.8 .dmg file

Hi, Previouslly I used file Snow Leopard 10.4.3 .dmg and it worked.
I tried to update but it did not work.
Where I can download Full version of 10.6.8 dmg file ( a disk image file) Snow Leopard.
Thanks in advance.

If you need to purchase Snow Leopard, you can still purchase a copy from Apple's online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.] Ask for a Sales Representative.
Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
Snow Leopard from eBay
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.

  • I have leopard, do I need snow leopard and then Lion for iCloud?

    I have just got an iPhone 4S.  It lets me have iCloud.  I like iCloud.  My Mac on the other hand does not like iCloud.  I have 10.5.8 (I believe to be leopard) do i need Snow leopard or can I jump to lion to  get my Mac to like iCloud?
    Thanks

    You can jumpt directly to Lion by purchasing the Apple USB Lion flash drive installer - $69.00 at your local Apple retailer. Otherwise, do as Carolyn has recommended - $29.00 for Snow Leopard and $30.00 for Lion. You save $10.00 doing it that way. If you choose to use that method then you may want to make your own USB installer:
    Make Your Own Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion 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 Lion.
    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 hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    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 several hours depending upon the drive size.
    3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
    4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that  you can use without having to re-download Lion.

    You need to buy Snow Leopard from the online Apple Store. You don't need Mountain Lion.

  • Have a New MBP with Lion preinstalled. Need Snow Leopard instead. Have time machine from old computer running Snow Leopard as well. PLEASE HELP!!

    I have a brand new Macbook Pro with Lion preinstalled. I haven't even turned it on yet. I desperately need Snow Leopard because my music software is not Lion compatible yet. I also have a Time Machine backup from my old Macbook that is currently running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. How can I get Snow Leopard on my new Macbook Pro? Also, will Time Machine replace the applications on the new Macbook Pro with the older versions I have in the backup or how exactly does that work? I've been staring at the box for 2 days now worried I won't be able to use any of my software. PLEASE HELP ME!

    It depends on the build of your machine; normally, no Mac can ever boot from a system older than what it came with. However, there are exceptions: right around the time the new OS is released, there may be some machines which will be able to run both OS's.  Here is some information on software builds:

    You may have to call Apple to figure out if you can use SL on yours or not.

  • If I have OS X 10.5.8 installed, how do I upgrade to Mountain Lion? Do I need Snow Leopard first?

    I have a MacBook Pro from 2008, and I would like to install Mountain Lion, but I currently have 10.5.8 (which I think is Tiger?). Do I need Snow Leopard first in order to get Mountain Lion? Where can I buy Mountain Lion (since I can't get Mac App Store with my current OS...

    You'll need to purchase Snow Leopard (10.6) from the Apple Store before you can use the App Store application.

  • HT4759 I need Snow Leopard download

    I currently have Mac OX X Version 10.5.8 Mac Book 4 and need to upgrade to Lion software but need snow leopard first apparently. I am unable to find any download for it. I have read that Apple was offering a free download for snow Leopard so we then could purchase and download Lion. Does anyone know how I can download snow Leopard? Thanks in advance.

    I think the general route now is to find a copy for sale on ebay.  But be prepared to pay handsomely for it.

  • Im running on 10.6.8 On my mac...But i downloaded Mountain Lion recently and theres always an error once i try run it..do i need Snow Leopard 1st and then Mountain Lion..HELP!!

    Im running on 10.6.8 On my mac...But i downloaded Mountain Lion recently and theres always an error once i try run it..do i need Snow Leopard 1st and then Mountain Lion..HELP!!

    Sorry Josh, I'm having a bad day with my illness.
    Can I ask you to repost this question? Might try in the Mountain Lion forum as well as here.
    Put "Mountain Lion Install fails" in the headline box, then from your second post -
    "When i run The OSX Mountain Lion Icon i downloaded from the App Store it always gets to the point when its about to restart but the it keeps saying "please quit the application and try again" Now i've tried Re-Downloading it a lot of times but that doesn't work"
    and add the Mac specification -
    MacBook7.1
    2GB RAM
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard 10.6.8
    Sorry I can't concentrate sufficiently today.

  • I purchased Snow Leopard and Copied the .dmg

    I recently lost the CD and I am stuck in a situation where I need to upgrade to Snow Leopard ....w/o a disc. Can this be done? I have the .DMG file but I can seem to mount it so that the installion wizard ( for lack of a better name ) still needs a disc to install. Can I use Daemon tools or virtual drives to make this installation happen?

    Not sure about your question - you lost your original install disk? Where/how did you get a .dmg of an OS or did you purchase SL on a disk? If not, you will need to purchase Snow Leopard for about $20, available at Apple or other resellers.

  • Snow Leopard HD being replaced; my files are on external HD; can I run them off of MBA Lion?

    My Mac issues .... bad seagate hard drive .... , finally being replaced as of today by Apple store per the warranty. The MBA? All sorts of issues(el cheapo version--only $999 <insert evil smirk>; 2011 11-inch, measley 64G flash drive; memory keeps being eaten alive by some kind of "other" mystery files). Whatever. It's not like I'm not used to all the problems with this machine anyway ... so I'll hang on to it and try to work with it till Thursday.
    I've got both of my Macs backed up on a 1T Seagate external HD. With the 27-inch Mac in the Genius Hospital getting a new hard drive, I'd like to try to do one or both of the following:
    1. Work off of the iMac Snow Leopard stuff saved on the external hard drive (backed up ON the seagate external as well as on Time Machine--yes, it's journaled, whatever that means). Is that possible? There were very confusing issues with permissions that I was not able to resolve on my own before I took the Macs to the Apple store, so .... that brings me to Number 2.
    2. Since the idiot MBA has to have its hard drive wiped out for a fresh install on Thursday, can I wipe it out myself, OR just access the Snow Leopard files somehow off of the Seagate external drive? But they are only backed up via Time Machine, so it's what? Impossible to work with just one file, plus I've got those issues with disk permissions.
    I guess what I'm wondering is, can I use this MBA sort of as a temporary machine to run the Snow Leopard? I don't need everything off of the iMac, because I'm only talking about using it like this for today and tomorrow.  I'm more than happy to wipe out the entire contents of this MBA (it's backed up on the seagate external also) and just use it as Snow Leopard until I can get the iMac back and reinstall it all on there. Is that possible?
    I've googled until I'm blue in the face and my eyes have glazed over. I cannot figure it out. Obviously, this being the 11-inch MBA, there is no CD drive, so no way to boot off a Snow Leopard disk.
    Anyone? Buehler? Anyone? Can I work with my own files on that external drive, even if it means I wipe out the MBA?

    Can I do this?
    Only if your computer shipped with Mac OS X 10.4. Use the 10.4 package that shipped with it.
    How?
    Install it normally, considering the point above.
    Snow Leopard won't let me install an older version of OS.
    It's not Snow Leopard that won't let you. It's the computer itself.

  • I need to upgrade from OS X 10.6.8 to 10.7.0. I have no idea if I need Snow Leopard or Mt. Lion.

    I'm 77 yrs old and need some help, please. I'm running a MacBook 10.6.8 and need to upgrade to 10.7.0 to accomodate a new program I bought. Do I need Lion first, then Mac 10.7.0?  Thank you in advance to assisting me.
    ChasManley

    See the following to get you going. Obviously, you can skip the Snow Leopard upgrade section since you already have it installed. You have the options of Lion or Mountain Lion depending on what is supported on your computer. If it supports Mountain Lion I suggest it rathen than Lion, but that's your option.
    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.

  • Flash CS4 on Snow Leopard Crashes When I Open File - How do I fix?

    Hi everybody:
    I hate to start a new thread but I didn't see one pertaining to this issue. I hope I am not alone. I recently bought a new iMac and it came with Snow Leopard OS. I ported over my Web Premium Creative Suite and all of my applications work great except for Flash CS4. I open the app to the intro screen but as soon as I try to open an existing project file or even to create a new project file, the app crashes immediately. I tried calling Adobe Support but they only turn me away, saying I need to purchase a $175 Support Plan for help. I just want my Flash to open. The same app works fine on my Macbook Pro (running Leopard). It seems adobe should be willing to help seeing as how the specifications say it is supposed to be compatible with Snow Leopard. Anyway, I have tried installing all updates and Deactivating/Uninstalling and Reinstalling. But alas, Flash still crashes every time. PLEASE Help!!!

    I have a similar issue.  I have the CS4 Design Premium with all updates on an iMac running 10.6.  All Adobe apps work except for Flash 10.0.2.566.  All apps worked perfectly under 10.5.  Within seconds of loading a file or clicking 'New' Flash terminates generating an Apple crash report (see exerpt below) - not an Adobe crash report.
    Exception Type:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
    Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x0000000000000004
    Crashed Thread:  0  Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
    (BTW, sometimes a normal Quit is interpreted as a crash by the other CS4 apps.  Could this be related?)

  • Bug in Preview in Snow Leopard when opening multiple pdf files at once

    I receive 50-200 pdf files by e-mail each day. I have historically saved the pdf attachments to a folder, then selected all the pdf files in the folder (CMD A), then opened all the selected files in Preview (CMD O). After updating to Snow Leopard, downloading 34 pdf files to a folder, selecting them all, then attempting to open them all in Preview (using both CMD O, then File/Open, then File/Open With), the effort first opens 6 of the 34 files. Closing all then trying again results in 7 files being opened, closing all then trying again results in 8 files being opened, etc etc. Earlier today I had the same results, but eventually got a message asking if I wanted to open all in separate windows (I did) or a single window, and it opened all the files at once as I wanted. After shutting down, moving home, and receiving additional pdf files, however, back to the same open 5, then open 6, etc. problem. Anyone else having this problem or a suggestion on how to resolve?
    Thanks for suggestions,
    B

    More info - apparently the bug isn't related to Preview, but to the attempt to open all pdf files in the folder with ANY program. After having Preview open 25 of the 34 files I was attempting to open, I then tried opening all 34 with Adobe Reader. It opened 26 (after Preview had opened 25). Tried again with Preview - it opened 27, then 28 with Adobe Reader. It doesn't necessarily open the FIRST 25 (or 26, etc) either, so it's difficult to work with the open ones, then go back and work with the remaining ones later.
