The HD must be partitioned with GUID partition map and Mac OS extended (journalled) file system. Do not partition the drive into two. When you have a working OS X system, use Boot Camp to create the Windows partition and install Windows.
If you're trying to install Snow Leopard on a Mac that was delivered with Lion installed =
1. It may not be possible at all depending on the Mac.
2. If it is possible, it cannot be done with the retail SL disc which is 10.6.3
3. The only way it can be done is to obtain the original grey discs which would have come with the Mac if it hadn't had Lion installed in the supply chain. They will be at least 10.6.6 and more likely 10.6.7 or .8. You can try to obtain those from Apple Customer Services.

  • I bought a MAC for the first time and plugged my Itouch into it to download my music on it, but is says The iPod "Rick's IPOD" is synced with another iTunes library. An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. What should I do?

    Same as you would if you bought a pc; copy everything from your old computer to your new one.  Then you can just sync everything from the new computer, as you did with the old one.

  • Someone PLEASE Help Me my NEW iPhone 5S Having Glitches and Im Crying Right Now

    I just got this as a replacement phone for the previous iPhone 5S which I  SHOULD have kept that one since I wasn't having problems much. First of  all, Twitter push notifications weren't working then I fixed it by going  to reset settings..NOW when I'm in 3G or 4G LTE mode, at times I'm NOT  getting push notificatoins whenever someone sends me messages!! it used  to send me messages and push notifications for my previous iPhones!! How  can I fix this problem?? Does it sound like a software bug problem? if I  update to the latest iOS version, should it work?? This happened when I  first used this phone. Do you think it SHOULDNT be the device?? I am  very NERVOUS because I don't want to get stuck to this 2 yr contract my  mom yelled at me saying i cant do anymore replacements because it will  cost extra which it did!! (shipping fee and also 30 dollars) . Also I already went to settings and EVERYTHING is set to ON and when I have received push notification, sometimes sound doesn't appear so it sounds like a glitch..is this the device that's causing this or the software?? when I'm not on Wifi mode, on KIK Messenger and Facebook push notications did NOT appear even someone sent me message. I'm extremely feeling like crap because my mom told me I can't replace it due to so many extra money via shipment etc.

    Glad I could help. You may have called Apple support, as their phone support is only free for 90 days after purchase. After that time, you have to pay for phone support.

  • I inadvertantly dropped my iphone 3 and now have a white screen with green vertical lines to the right.  It won't sync with itunes due to an error. What can I do?

    I inadvertantly dropped my iphone 3 and now have a white screen with green vertical lines to the right of the screen.  It won't sync with itunes due to an error. What can I do?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If it does not resolve the issue, the device is permanently damaged and will require replacement.

  • HT1212 Please help! My Ipod wont connect to Itunes and has a thing I have never seen on the screen before.

    When I plug in my Ipod touch it has a symbol on it saying connect to Itunes. When I connect it to Itunes it says I need to unlock my Ipod before I can connect to Itunes but my Ipod touch wont even let me put a code in, it just has that symbol. I tried uninstalling Itunes and restarting the computer then installing Itunes again but nothing changed. I have never heard of this before so I don't know what to do!

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • I have macbook pro 13" I want to know how to copy files from my mac to the external Toshiba Hard Drive. I can't even delete files from my external hard drive. please help me my macbook HD is almost full and I have to copy my images to the Toshiba HD

    I have macbook pro 13" I want to know how to copy files from my mac to the external Toshiba Hard Drive. I can't even delete files from my external hard drive. please help me my macbook HD is almost full and I have to copy my images to the Toshiba HD

    To delete files from your external HDD, attach it to your MBP and drag the unwanted files to trash and then empty trash.
    Then you select the files that you want to transfer by 'drag and drop' to the external HDD and trash the files on your MBP.
    Ciao.

  • Which external hard disk format (fat32 or ntfs) is compatible with macbook pro ?

    Hi . I just bought a macbook pro (13.3 inches) . As the internal storage is not much , i am thinking if buying an external hard disk . Please guide which format of external hard disk (fat32 or ntfs) is compatible with my mac.
    Thanks .

    Ouch! Bad day? .
    One other option you might want to consider is exFat.
    Its supported on Mac and Windows, and even my TV!
    Its got very large file (128PB) and volume size support.
    Cheers.
    Not again.
    The OP wants this to use with a PS3, which does not support exFat. So that suggestion (while quite correct on its face) won't work.
    Maybe this will help you.
    Check what the File System type is. Do this by going to Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Disk Manager. Select the external drive and read the "File System" type. The file system type must be FAT32 in order for the PlayStation to recognize it.
    Split larger, high quality files into smaller files, if necessary. FAT32 has a limit of 3.9 Gigabytes per file, which means some high quality HD movies might have to be split into smaller files, and that makes it less than ideal for some HD content.

  • If I wanted to connect an external hard drive to my iPad, what can I use? Do I have to use the Mac mini??

    If i wanted to connect an external hard drive to my iPad, what can I use? Or would I have to purchase a Mac mini?

    Sorry, I DO NOT RECOMMEND the camera connection kit for what you are asking!
    I was trying to say that as I have the connection kit (bought for camera use so no loss for me)
    I often WISH it could do more.
    So sorry for the confusion.
    The camera connection kit only allows you to send photos and video (that are correctly formatted I might add) to the photos app.
    Other people have had success with it connecting to keyboards, but that us not so useful.

  • After a failed backup because my macbook went to sleep, my hard disk is full. What happened? Where can I find the file i need to erase?

    because my macbook went to sleep, my hard disk is full. What happened? Where can I find the file i need to erase

    It's hard to tell -- just going to sleep shouldn't have caused a problem.  Something else may be going on.
    See Where did my Disk Space go? especially the blue box.

    i was trying to update my iphone 5 but it got stuck on itune screen. whenever i try to restore it says error (1669) what can i do. please help

    Try  these troubleshooting steps.
    If that Article did not resolve it... then perhaps a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required..
    Be sure to make an appointment first...
    Note:
    That error message may be indicative of the Device being Hacked / jailbroken.... If this is the case then you are on your own.

    That does not work on model year older then 2010 and really doesn't work on any older then late 2011 models.
    You will need a set of original system dvd disc thjat are always sypplied with every mac sold before Lion came out. Systems older then late release early 2011 models.
    If you don't have them you kcan order a replacement set from apple by calling them. Have the serial number of you mac handy.

  • Hello, please help, my interface is connected to the microphone and when i open Logic 9 it does´t work. But I opened garageband to check and it works fine. I can record voice with any effect... With Logic i see the sound passes in the interface.

    Hello, please help, my interface is connected to the microphone and when i open Logic 9 it does´t work. But I opened garageband to check and it works fine. I can record voice with any effect... With Logic i see the sound passes in the interface but does not arrive in Logic. The Loops works fine and i can hear. Is just the sound to record the voice it does not work. What can i do ??? I used Logic before in the same computer and it worked fine. Thank you so much, I´m a begginer recording myself.

    Make sure you go into preferences in Logic and set the audio input to be your interface and the audio output to be either built in output or the interface, if that is hooked up to something else. It sounds like Garageband has the audio interface set as the input but not Logic.
    Also make sure you close all other applications except Logic to ensure it is not running in slave mode...

    What Brand is it? What connection method (USB, FireWire or Network) are you using? Why and what do you want to change the Format to? Is it new, old, was it working before?

    Is the box for ☐ External disk check in your General Finder Preference? Have you checked in Disk Utility or your System Profiler to see if it is recognized by the iMac?
