Previous Snow Leopard Safari versions

Hi. I need to go back to older Safari versions for Snow Leopard. The reason is that I have an app that run only with older Safari. I had an update and the app doesn't work anymore. Is anyway to uninstall the new one and install the older? How, where ?

i had the same problem and it drove me nuts
in fact i reinstalled sl and then used time machine to load my data and applications
but the hot news headlines still took forever to load.
then,
this article fixed things for me:

Snow Leopard - Safari disabled for c-span

After upgrade to Snow Leopard, Safari will not play the video for the C-SPAN web site: http://www.c-span.org
It will not launch the RealPlayer, and also will not launch Quicktime to convert the Windows Media files.

Try the "beta" version of Flip4Mac (designed for Snow Leopard).

Can you format your hard-drive while upgrading from Leopard do Snow Leopard (upgrade version)?

Hello,
I want to purchase Snow Leopard (upgrade version) but I was planning on doing a format when installing it.
Is it possible?
Thank you!

Yes, the 10.6.3 white retail disk can upgrade 10.5 to 10.6 via the installer, but you can also hold c or option key down while booting from the disk and use Disk Utility to Erase and then install 10.6 fresh.
Naturally all programs and user file will be removed, so you need to backup files first and take stock of your programs that will have to be reinstalled again from original sources.
To get the white 10.6.3 disk, call Apple via the phone, it's not sold online anymore, or search Amazon.com or amc related websites for the disk.

However if you choose to upgrade over 10.5, keeping your programs and files (backup files regardless) intact and it proceeds just fine, but want to improve the performance, you can use this method

If your upgrading from 10.5 to get to 10.7 or 10.8, I don't advise it. Software Update to 10.6.8 max and stay there, your machine is too old.
Things to consider before upgrading OS X

Snow Leopard / Safari

I have just upgraded to 10.6.3. (Snow Leopard). What version of Safari do I need (I have 4.0.4)?

You should download and apply the 'combo updater' (free) to bring you to 10.6.8:

Then use Software Update to check for any further updates - if Safari isn't up to date (5.1.10) it will update it.

Snow Leopard / Safari issue

I just loaded Snow Leopard and it won't accept my version of safari to browse.
How can I get safari 4 loaded?

How did you load or upgrade to Snow Leopard...?
The original Install Disc that came with the computer and the Retail Snow Leopard Upgrade DVD both have a working version of Safari on them, and so all you should have to do is update to 10.6.8

Snow Leopard, Safari, and jumbled text on blogspot

This happens on blogspot pages of this template type:
http://i37.tinypic.com/2afcyv5.png
taken from page: http://cita-naps.blogspot.com/
it renders fine in firefox and if i view source within safari, the text is all there!!
This is on a clean install of snow leopard.
what's going on?!?!

update: apparently, fontbook searches my whole computer for what fonts it might use. I had a folder of some fonts in a completely separate directory on my computer and it was pulling a wonky version of trebuchet from it.
deleted that font and voila!
time to ditch fontbook....

MacBook Pro screen flickers and freezes after Snow Leopard/Safari 5 updates

Hi guys,
I have a silver 120GB 15-inch MacBook Pro from Summer 2007 with 3GB RAM and 25+GB free space which has recently begun to freeze irrecoverably. The first appearance of these symptoms seems to coincide with my installing the Snow Leopard 10.6.6 update via Software Update.
I'm not particularly well versed in computer technology, but will try to describe my problem as detailedly as possible.
What happens is this:
1. I start the computer as per usual, with only a couple of startup items. Everything's fine.
2. I start working. Use a lot of Safari 5 for browsing websites, often with some kind of Flash or "Flash-type" content such as banner ads, videos, even full Flash designs. I may also have programs such as QuickTime, VLC or an image editor open, if not necessarily "actively" doing anything. Everything's still fine - I'm able to both browse websites and watch videos as usual.
3. After a while of active working - say, 1-3 hours - I notice browsing websites gets a little choppy. Display features such as the file list view in Finder may or may not appear properly. The rotating wait cursor may or may not appear from time to time.
4. Immediately after symptom no. 3, the next time I start to watch a video, either via Safari 5 (say for example something on DailyMotion.com) or a file via QuickTime, something goes wrong.
Following no. 4, one of three things invariably happen:
5a) The video freezes and the entire screen flickers from black to the screen view very quickly two or three times, after which the computer or screen appears to freeze. The cursor still moves, but nothing reacts to it - open windows become completely unresponsive, nor does the top or any other menu react in any way to clicking. The "menu row" of application items, which normally appears when I move the cursor to the very bottom of the screen, doesn't appear. Restarting "blindly" by pressing the Off-button once and pressing R doesn't work. I'm forced to do a hard reboot, after which the computer is once again fine until the next two hours of active working. This usually happens ONLY when I try to watch a video in Full Screen-mode.
5b) I notice the video freezing only just in time, and am able to pause it and "esc" out of Full Screen-mode, and the computer remains operational. However, as soon as I again try to play video in Full Screen-mode, everything described in 5a. happens.
5c) The video stops playing, and the screen reverts momentarily to pale blue before switching to the login screen. I login again with my details, and everything appears to be fine again until the next two hours of active working. The computer "starts up" a lot faster than with a hard reboot. This usually happens ONLY when I've tried to watch a video in its original size, i.e. when not in Full Screen-mode.
This happens 1-4 times a day, and it appears to depend directly on how much work I've been doing on the computer. The less I use it in the course of a day, the longer it takes until the next time it freezes.
So, in a way, I'm able to replicate this problem. 95% of the time the screen has frozen while watching or starting to watch (usually already when starting to watch) video footage, but it has also frozen a couple of times just switching between e.g. Safari 5 and an image editor or browsing a website with a Flash banner ad or embedded video content (which however hasn't necessarily been playing); today, the screen froze when I tried to open a website made entirely with Flash.
Although it could be just a coincidence, I believe this issue first appeared when I updated Snow Leopard to 10.6.6 via Software Update alongside some other pending updates, including as far as I recall one for Safari 5. The update process appeared to have gone well at the time, though, and was not interrupted in any way. I have never had this specific problem with the computer/screen before, though.
I've read a couple of threads here regarding very similar issues with newer MBP models than mine, in which it has been suggested that the fault may lie in a malfunctioning NVIDIA GeForce graphics card. Now I've had that replaced already once because my screen went unexpectedly completely blank after a forced reboot 1-2 years ago (I don't remember exactly), but according to my System Profiler info the card still a GeForce 8600M GT. Can it be failing again?
I've also had some kind of a RAM card failure once. As far as I understood it, one of the RAM cards had fried and was preventing the computer from starting up. I replaced the bad 1GB card with a new 2GB one and the problem was resolved. Before the computer died, there were also other symptoms, but they were not similar to these.
I'm also doing the Apple Hardware Test tomorrow. Any other suggestions, though, than the graphics card?
*Could this have to do with Flash or Safari 5?* Just hear me out. Even though my computer has frozen from watching a video in just QuickTime, Safari 5 has always been open in the background at the same time, and more likely than not with websites with "Flash" content open. And come to think of it, before I performed the Snow Leopard and Safari 5 updates, I used to have daily problems viewing Flash video in Safari 5, the video content either suddenly showing up as "Plug-in Failure" or crashing the browser; I've had both Safari 5 and the Safari 5 Flash plug-in "quit unexpectedly" countless times in the past, almost daily. Sometimes the "Plug-in Failure" could be fixed just by refreshing the browser view; at other times, Safari 5 would stop showing Flash content altogether - Flash banner ads (such as Google ads), YouTube and other Flash videos, everything - until I quit and restarted Safari 5. BUT - since the day I updated everything via Software Update, I don't remember this happening; it never gets to "Plug-in Failure" now. Could it be worth trying to use e.g. just Firefox for a while or is there something (e.g. Adobe Flash) that I could try reinstall? Or am I just clutching at straws here?
Thanks for reading this long, long post!

Do you have access to an Apple Store? If so, it may be worth making an appointment at the genius bar and having them run the test for the NVIDIA problem. Since your replacement logic board still has the NVIDIA GeForce 8600 M GT video chip, it could be starting to happen to your replacement logic board.
I also agree with all of CMCSK's suggestions. Freezing is often associated with hard drive problems. You might also want to run SMART Utility:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/smartutility.html
You can download the demo and run it several times for free. It will give you a very comprehensive view of the physical health of your hard drive. If you still have the original one from 2007, it's getting pretty long in the tooth and may be approaching the end of its average useful life of 3-5 years. I just recently had to replace my original 2007 Fujitsu drive.
If your drive is headed south, and is also too small, it may be time to upgrade to a larger and faster drive.
The software update probably didn't cause the problems, but it may have exposed problems that were already in existence.
Good luck!

In need of a Snow Leopard compatible version of Aperture via AppStore

Hi there!!
A few months ago I bought Aperture 3 via AppStore using Snow Leopard.
Last week I formatted my iMac and installed everything again.
The process was smooth as I imagined, except for the fact that I wasn't able to download Aperture from the AppStore again as the current version doesn't seem to be compatible with my operating system...
...how can I download and use an older version of Aperture compatible with Snow Leopard?
I read somewhere that if I download the correct version from the website I won't be able to use it as I bought it via AppStore, while the downloadable version seems to need a code of some kind that is only given while buying the program throught the website (and NOT the AppStore...)!!
...H E L P M E please!! =(
Thanks for your support!! =)

Snow Leopard - english version

I live in Sweden and I want to buy english version of upgrade to Snow Leopard. But when I try to go to the Apple Store, it offers me only swedish version (it is not mentioned until I see application and there is upgrade-swe). Do I need to go direct to american site and pay in USdollars to buy english version of update?

The website store is always in the native language of the country the store is in. The OS will allow you to select your language at the beginning of setup so you'll be able to use English instead .

How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your current OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then 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. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) 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.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
C. Important: Please read before installing:
If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update. While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
D. To upgrade:
Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
Restart the computer.
Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
Wait for installer to finish loading.
E. If updating:
Download and install update(s)
Use Software Update, or
Download standalone updater(s).

Snow Leopard (disk version), online update necessary?

I installed the disk version of Snow Leopard on my 2007 Mac Mini (Intel processors); do I need to update it online, or does it come packaged with all relevant updates?

It does not come with all updates since that version. Use Software Update to get all the updates. You can get most of them by updating to 10.6.8 first - download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8. Then use Software Update to get what is left.

After upgrade to snow leopard, safari and applications are slow

I recently installed snow leopard. Ever since then, my computer has been acting slow. The web pages on safari load ever so slowly, the applications all take time to launch. i have updated the software to the latest downl

Have you repaired permissions?
Are any of your programs running in Rosetta?
Is your data backed up from before the upgrade?
Are all of your programs and hardware known to be 10.6 compatible?
Are you using any third party utilities to affect system cache? These can actually slow your system down and should not be used on a non-backed up system.

I have a mac book 10.6.8 that has been upgraded to Snow Leopard (latest version.) How can I upgrade to mountain lion with 1GB of memory? When I go to buy it, it says that it's not compatible with my Mac but my Mac has all of the qualifications.

If anyone has any idea I'd really appreciate it. I just bought the iphone 5 and recieved the new nano as a birthday gift and now I'm up a creek without a paddle b/c I can't plug them into my laptop without the new itunes that runs on Mountain Lion.
Please help, I'm not very tech savvy.

You don't need anything higher than OSX 10.6.8 to run iTunes 11. iTunes system requirements - http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
You can't upgrade without more RAM.
MacBook upgrade possibilities - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19577869 - "The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion."

Upgrading to latest spec newer Mac with previous Snow Leopard Backup

Hi, would like very much to know if the following would be achievable.
At some point in the near future I may upgrade my Mac again from the current MacBook pro 17" unibody Intel core Duo (early 2009) running Snow Leopard 10.6.4 to either the latest at the time MacBook Pro 17", or iMac.
However, I have both a 'SuperDuper' all-files (non-sector) backup of my complete current OS X 10.6.4 partition system and an Acronis all-files (non-sector) backup of my current BOOTCAMP Win 7 64-bit partition system.
Naturally I could not bear to go through the long and painful timely procedure of spending days even weeks of rebuilding up my current dual-system and therefore would like to know the following:-
1. Could I restore my current dual backups (OS X and BOOTCAMP) onto either the then new MacBook Pro OR iMac?
2. If this is possible; would I then have to install necessary drivers from Snow Leopard/Windows 7 Update services or disks after restore in order to load drivers for the different CPU on the upgraded machine, i.e. my current MacBook pro being a core-duo and the newer machine likely to be an i7 or whatever is the latest at the time of upgrade and of course whichever devices are different on the upgraded MacBook Pro such as Graphics adapter, etc.
Advice appreciated, cheers.

Hi Diesel-X;
Instead of your plan I suggest you connect the two Macs together with a Firewire cable and boot your MBP in TDM by holding down the T key as you boot. Then boot your new iMac and use Setup Assistant to move your data and applications.
This will leave the new system on your iMac alone but only bring over the data and applications so that you do running into the problem of any system problems.
Allan
