Potential macbook pro purchase, can I still get one with just snow leopard?

I've been reading about all the problems with Lion so far and I'd rather just wait for more updates before having it.  Can I still purchase a new macbook pro with just snow leopard?

Hi M,
You can definitely still get a refurb with SL:

  • Macbook pro purchased new summer 2009: anxious to upgrade to snow leopard: ANYONE ever install without backup?   Why not?

    Any body do this without timemachine backup successfuly?

    im sure they have, but you are risking losing all your data if you do not have a backup.  Something could go wrong during the upgrade.  If the possibility of losing all your data is acceptable, then proceed.  I highly recommend backing up first.

  • Can a macbook pro (2005) be upgraded to mavericks os x from snow leopard?

    can a macbook pro (vintage 2005) be upgraded to mavericks os x from leopard?
    I can upgrade to snow leopard which is required before upgrade is possible but notes on mavericks os x indicates compatibility with new os starts with macbook pro late 2007.

    Sorry, but a 2005 Mac cannot run Snow Leopard. You need an Intel Mac, but you have a PPC Mac. Leopard is as far as  you can go on that model.

  • My MacBook Pro HD Storage Capacity is getting full with majority of usage classified as Other (126.77GB). What is included as Other and how can I edit and delete unnecessary content?

    The Storage capacity on my MacBook Pro (Mid 2010, Version 10.10, 4 GB Memory) is getting full. It appears I only have 29.04 GB free of 319.21 GB. The majority of usage is classified as "Other" (126.77 GB) and "Movies" (106.05 GB).  I would like to edit and delete some of the Other content, but what is included in this category? How do I know what is safe to delete? I don't have many documents created. I have saved and filed content from internet sites... do these type of files use a lot of storage capacity (mostly recipes)?
    I have very few Apps and have been updating all software regularly.  Mose recent update was Yosemite.

  • I have a Macbook Pro 2010 can I still upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    Can I still upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    Yes, see > OS X Mountain Lion - Apple Store (U.S.)
    You could also go to Mavericks, see > Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mavericks.

  • I bought a new HD to install into my 2009 macbook pro.  I cannot find my install disk for Snow Leopard.  Can I install one of the newer OS's without a disk?

    Is there a way to either reinstall the OSX version that is currently on my Macbook Pro, onto the new HD or do I have to have the Snow Leopard disk and then upgrade to the newer versions all over again?

    Depending on your processor and RAM installed, you can install lion from the app store under the apple drop down menu. You have to have at least 2 GB of RAM installed and you have to have an intel core 2 duo processor to run Lion. This you can find out in "About This Mac" under the apple drop down menu. That is the only OS that's newer than yours and one that isn't installed from a disc
    hope this helps

  • Broken airport card and hard drive on MacBook Pro and can't go to recovery with LAN.

    Hi.
    My MacBook Pro 13" (early-2011)'s hard drive has broken, and I bought a Kingston 120GB SSDNow instead.
    Earlier, the airport card and cable has been broken too.
    Are there other ways I can use LAN to recover my mac? It wants me to use wifi, but the airport card is broken...
    If so, why does it only want to use Wifi instead of LAN?
    LAN is like the extra parachute just in case, or the extra octopus regulator in scuba diving.

    Is your model on the list? Did you ever upgrade its firmware? If not, then all you can do is start by booting from your Snow Leopard DVD and installing Snow Leopard on your SSD. Be sure to first partition and format the SSD for use with OS X. Once you install Snow Leopard you can download and install the firmware update for future needs.

  • I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008) and am currently running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I would like to know which is the most stable upgrade for my model. I have read some reviews of Maverick and Yosemite making the older macs slower. Is this true?

    I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008), Intel Core 2 Duo 2.53 GHz, 4GB Memory. and am currently running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    I would like to know which is the most stable upgrade for my model? Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite?
    When I had gone to the apple care centre in India a few months ago to upgrade my OSX to Mountain Lion, I was told that considering my macbook pro's specs, upgrading it would just make it less efficient, and that I should stick to Snow Leopard unless I consider buying a newer mac that would benefit from it. Is this true? I find it a bit hard to believe. Which update is most recommended?
    I also notice that my mac has gotten considerably slower. While using chrome, it buffers and struggles with even just 5 tabs open. Could this have something to do with my current ios? As a precaution, I have always been making sure I have enough free space on disk i.e around 70 - 100 free out of 250GB.
    Any advice is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Mavericks is no longer available from the App Store, so your choice is Yosemite. One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install the new OS, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won't have to go though the revert process.
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible.

  • Macbook pro 6,2 doesn't boot in to retail snow leopard disk.

    Hey everyone I got a little problem here, see I need to restore my macbook because I need to run windows in order to update my Blackberry. Bootcamp won't let me partition my drive because some files can't be moved, I did a time machine back up and I was ready for a restore. One problem the Mac OS X recovery disk that came with the macbook are lost in space some where, I did however get a retail copy from a buddy of mine. I popped it in held down the C key, apple logo came up, but no spinning wheel at the bottom. Anyone know around this?
    Thanks - Mark

    Pondini has identified the problem: There is no retail OS X disc that can boot a MBP 6,2. The machine requires a newer build of the OS than the most recent Snow Leopard retail disc contains. You'll need to order a replacement for the installer disc that came with your computer:

    Oops, I see you're in Canada. Call AppleCare and ask about replacement discs.

  • MacBook Pro 15" 2007 won't turn on after leaving Snow Leopard update in the drive

    Hi Everyone,
    After installing Snow Leopard 10.6.3, I left the cd in the drive when I turned the computer off. When I tried to turn the computer back on again, the screen told me that I needed to restart the computer by holding down on the power button. So I did, but the message came up again. I did it again. The third time, the computer wouldn't turn on at all.
    I removed the cd by opening up my computer--something I had done in the past because of problems with the keyboard. (The keyboard was never fixed, and the trackpad didn't work either, so I used USB connections.The powerbutton never was affected though)
    Two questions:
    First, what would you say is the culprit in the first problem with the messages to restart the computer? How might I address this?
    Second, knowing the secondary information about the keyboard connections, how might this affect fixing the problem? Could the powerbutton now be affected, especially since I lifted the keyboard off?
    Lastly, I've looked into restarting the SMC, and turning on the computer without the button. I have tried the first of these two options, and will soon attempt the second (If anyone can send me a link to better explain turning on the computer without a button for my model, I'd be grateful.)
    Any more advice (short of bringing it into the shop!) would be helpful.

    Try powering up and push in your install disc(use your original install disk if you have it, maybe try the retail SL disc white with the cat as a second choice) holding the C key (this should make it boot from the disc) select your language, click continue, in the next screen in the menu bar click Utilities/Disk utilities, select (highlight your volume from the left column, default name is Macintosh HD, unless you renamed it) click the first aid tab, then click verify disk, if it comes up with errors (they will be in red font) if you get errors, run repair disk, run it repeatedly if necessary till it comes up with this disk seems ok (in green font)
    Then run permissions repair.
    Log out and reboot see what you get.
    You may have to reinstall the 10.6.3 OSX again, do this by powering up and pushing in the disk holding the C key and follow the prompts. if you have a successful install, eject the disc, and reboot. The next thing you need to do is run software update, there will be many and you want to do them one at a time. (use an ethernet connection as opposed to wireless, as there is much chance of corruptions. The first one to run is the 10.6.8 combined v 1.1, the keep running software update one at a time till there are none offered.
    Hope this helps

  • Can osx mavericks server cooperate with osx snow leopard?

    can I make global adress book and mail server with older osx I mean OSX Snow Leopard on mac mini with osx mavericks server?

    can I use this disk to reformat my hard drive
    Yes.
    As well, if I do reformat - do I have to tell my Time Machine to do something special to make a backup for reformatting? Or does it automatically make a backup that I can use to reinstall everything on my newly reformatted computer?
    Restore from the Time Machine backup afterwards, either from the Utilities menu or the Migration Assistant.

  • Can you still get phones with iOS 6

    I want a phone with iOS 6

    Maybe.
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
