Quad core MacMini and Snow Leopard?

Will the 2011 quad core MacMini be able to run Snow Leopard?
You may ask why I want to do that.
1.) I have PPC software I rely on (needs Rosetta) and that software is not gonna be upgraded, or at least not in the next couple years.
2.) And anyway, iI dont like Lion. Its drifting away from what I expect an OS to do.

Actually I have a 2011 Mac Mini Server (2GHz Core i7) and it does boot Mac OS X 10.6.8 and Mac OS X Server 10.6.8.  But it doesn't run at full speed. GeekBench gave a score of 3001, compared to 9564 when running under Mac OS X 10.7.  This was backed up with some MySQL testing as well. Under 10.6.8 a particular task took over 14 minutes, under 10.7 it runs in 3:07.  Same task takes 5:14 on last years Core 2 Duo 2.66 Mac Mini Server with 10.6.8 so I think GeekBench was being truthful.
At a  guess I'd say 10.6 is missing some hardware specific drivers and the machine is running at a throttled speed to be safe.
There's also some issues with the video card incorrectly detecting a second monitor. It thinks there's a second monitor attached to the HDMI port, but I only have a VGA one connected to the Thunderbolt port via a Mini-DisplayPort->VGA Adaptor.  No issues when running Lion with this config though.

  • I have a MacBook Pro with Intel Core Duo and Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Want to upgrade to Lion to take advantage of icloud. Is there anything I can do without getting a new MacPro?

    I have a MacBook Pro with Intel Core Duo and Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Would like to upgrade to Lion but it requires a minimum of Intel Core 2 Duo. Can I get what I need or do I have to buy new MacBok Pro?

    I also have a core duo MBP with Snow Leopard and it runs perfectly.  There are very few things it cannot do as compared to the faster, newer MBPs, but that is attributable to the CPU, not the OS.  There are some who view Lion as downgrade rather than as an improvement.  If there are important applications that reqire a fast CPU or Lion features that you find essential, by all means get a new MBP.
    I have an aphorism:  Obsolescence is more often a perception rather than a reality.  Besides the silver keys look much classier than the black ones.

  • Aperture 2 and 3 and Snow Leopard

    My system with Aperture 2 was perfect.
    Then I believe that Snow Leopard killed Aperture 2.
    When I first installed Snow Leopard my machine felt like new again but slowly and slowly over the last few months the whole system seems to feel less and less snappy.
    I don't use many video-intensive applications - my main one is Aperture 2, so this is where I find my main cause for concern.
    Painfully slow adjustments with lagging, beach-balling, CPU-hogging, and RAM theft.
    The main culprits seem to be Highlights/Shadows, Straighten, Crop, and Retouching… although my open mind says that could simply be because they form the latter part of my tweaking process.
    There seems to be a thumbnail generation issue. Every adjustment that is made generates a new thumbnail - as you work through your tweaks that process seems to get backed up and slow everything down.
    There seems to also be a video issue. Tweaking horizontal photos in full screen causes twice as much lag as a vertical image. Why? Take a look - it's obvious - in full screen edit a vertical image is about half the size of a horizontal one.
    There seems to be a memory issue. Aperture seems to use a large amount of processor and RAM and sometimes doesn't let go of it or it gets caught in some kind of a loop. I've no idea what I'm talking about here. All I know is when I look at Activity Monitor the numbers are going through the roof and I can barely concentrate on them because of the noise from my fans.
    There have been various and quite diverse suggestions on this and other forums as to what the underlying problem is and I have done my best to look into those and see what can help.
    I have an early-2008 MBP 4,1 - 2.6 Intel Core 2 Duo - 4GB (factory-fitted) RAM - GeForce 8600M (512MB) GT.
    I have done everything possible: all software totally up-to-date, re-installed combo updates, rebuilt Aperture libraries, run consistency checks, fresh Aperture install, fresh Snow Leopard install, repaired permissions, booted in 32bit, booted in 64bit, run hardware tests, deleted plists, cleared caches, downloaded and run applications like Onyx and Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner (amongst others) to ensure everything is in ship-shape along with various test applications to gauge if components like my hard drive are dying.
    I keep my system clean and tidy. I have now stripped out bloat. I even took out iPhoto in case its 'iLife' browser link to Aperture was an issue. I have 85GB free on a 200GB. All components are original as factory-fitted by Apple.
    Everything that any seemingly intelligent person on any decent forum has suggested has been done - in particular I thank the many users here on the Apple forum for all their information sharing… I try to read them all.
    From what I see on the forums, I am not alone.
    Nothing has fixed this problem.
    I (and no doubt many others) have fed this information back to Apple.
    Aperture 2 and/or Snow Leopard has a problem that has not been fixed.
    Aperture 3 got released and I trialled it and swiftly uninstalled it because the exact same problems are there - even with one single photo in it.
    My concern is that Apple will not fix the cause of the problem which seems to lie outside of Aperture.
    If Apple concentrate on making Aperture 3 work better inside a possibly shaky Snow Leopard then I will be very disappointed.
    I'm not forking out for a new version of software just because Apple broke my current software. Don't get me wrong - I do actually WANT to buy Aperture 3 because it has functional improvements and advancements that I would love to be using providing it works properly - and for me (and it appears for 'quite a few' others as well) it just simply doesn't… and neither does Aperture 2 any more.
    I am no technical expert (as you've probably noted already) but a MAJOR bug seems to lie in the relationship between Snow Leopard, graphics cards, and the way it handles memory - and so in turn graphically-intensive applications like Aperture are high-lighting these problems more than others.
    I am sure there are people without these problems. Perhaps these problems relate to specific hardware configurations. My configuration is Apple standard. I really shouldn't have these problems.
    Until Apple fix this major bug I cannot remotely consider Aperture 3.
    Until Apple fix this major bug I could never buy Apple again.
    Up until Snow Leopard you had a VERY happy camper. I had a perfect machine and I was shouting Mac from the rooftops to anyone that would listen.
    And then it seems Snow Leopard broke my machine.
    What a shame.
    I really want to use Apple, I actually really like Snow Leopard, I really want to use Aperture, I really want to carry on telling people how wonderful the Apple Mac experience is (or was...) but Apple are currently making it very difficult for me to continue doing so.
    Please fix Snow Leopard.
    This will hopefully fix Aperture 2 and Aperture 3.
    Unless anyone else has a fix?
    Sincere apologies to all for banging on for so long !!

    Thanks for your input setwart.
    When I make adjustments I do want Aperture to provide me with a new version so that I can see the original image and also that I have a version which I have already adjusted. I've previously tried changing that preference before with no improvement in performance unfortunately, but it's not really what I was referring to.
    Versions, thumbnails and previews were very confusing terms to me for a while… actually, in some ways, they still are but my understanding is 'a little' better now.
    That said, I probably used the wrong term.
    What I meant was that every time you make an adjustment Aperture seems to produce a 'record' or 'snap-shot' of your image including that latest adjustment. In so doing you have an entire history of each adjustment you have made. In my head I picture this like a movie film-strip with each frame differing slightly. You increase your saturation by a single point? Another snap-shot. Fancy another single point on your saturation? Another snap-shot… and so on.
    It is typical that I will make a bare minimum of 20 adjustments on each image, and that's before even thinking about straightening, cropping, and retouching… and then maybe I'll go back and tweak everything again !!
    Somehow, my system is having difficulty in keeping up to speed with all of those snap-shots of individual adjustments. Certain adjustments will drastically slow things down more than others, and then I get to play with the beach-balls.
    But - it used to handle these things just fine and that's what I'm trying to get back to.
    Thanks again for getting involved.

  • Mail app and Snow Leopard, Mountain Lion and Mavericks

    I have, and use, 3 different Macs, an older MacMini running Snow Leopard, an older MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion and a new MacBook Pro running Mavericks.  My personal email account, setup using the Mail.app, works fine on Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion.  On the MBP running Mavericks, I setup the Mail.app using the same settings as on Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion.  It doesn't work.  Nothing but timeouts.
    I've read a lot about the problems with Mavericks and IMAP and updated Mavericks apps, including Mail.  Still no go.  I'm not so much asking for help as registering that the IMAP problems aren't fixed.
    But if anyone has some ideas, I'm listening.
    Thanks all!
    Brenda

    I'd check to see if the latest version of the plug-ins are Snow Leopard compatible or not, unless you have a really large number of plug-ins to deal with, where you could just see what's broke and what's not, post upgrade. But beware of retaining the old ones. For example, 10.6 Mail broke the GPG-Mail plug-in that works under 10.5.x. Search the Snow Leopard Mail forum using the search phrase "GPG Mail" OR GPGMail OR "GPG-Mail" or other mail plug-in names of interest to you.

  • Current Status of Creative Suite 3 and Snow Leopard?

    I currently have both CS3 Web Design Premium (which includes Photoshop) and Adobe InDesign CS3... both suites essentially comprising all the apps and features of the standard CS3 Suite plus web design.
    I know this has been discussed before, but I am assuming that further additional testing and usage has continued... and problems are being solved or not.  And in the end an overall opinion or judgment has been reached regarding upgrading Leopard to Snow Leopard.  I've been waiting it out to see what the outcome would be.
    My Mac is the intel chip 24" Alum.  3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Is the CS3 suite compatible with Snow Leopard?  If not, what will be the cost or loss in terms of the applications?  And, is it worth upgrading to it?
    Experienced and knowledgeable feedback is very welcomed and appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thanks.. have decided not to touch it.  You make this kind of investment into software, you are not looking to have to compromise with erratic unpredictable software which in turn burns your time and patience.
    Adobe's position is definitely unfortunate unfriendly and unappreciative.  It's the arrogance towards what they have developed and a denial of the kind of investment it took to get into their software.  The least they could have done was to offer a generous discount for upgrading. 
    Thanks for taking the time to respond. And here's to don't fix what's not broken

    Subject: Current Status of Creative Suite 3 and Snow Leopard?
    CS 3 is sort of compatible, but if you are using CS 3 for your livelihood, then stay with Leopard.
    For example, Photoshop CS 3 functions adequately for a time, but ultimately starts to show erractic errors, then crashes. Also, excessive memory usage builds the longer it is used.
    Adobe has stated it only supports CS 4 and 5 with Snow Leopard. I doubt further modifications will be made by Adobe to CS 3 to iron out the Snow Leopard incompatibilities. Rather unfortunate position, and certainly not a customer friendly approach, especially for anyone investing over $1,000 for software only 3 years old.
    To add further fuel to the fire, CS 3 apps now crash in 10.6.3 due to Serial Number/API changes, "unforseen" by all parties.

  • 2008 iMac and Snow Leopard

    My parents bought a new 20 in iMac this February with a ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro Graphics Card. It was their first Mac previously having used PC's. I was looking at the Snow Leopard specs last night, as they will ask whether they should get it and it clearly says that Open CL will only work with the ATI Radeon 4850, Radeon 4870 or more recent NVIDIA cards used in the iMacs introduced this year.
    I was a bit shocked at this, surely there must be some mistake. OK my 5 year old G5 won't run Leopard, but to find that a six month old iMac won't run a core Leopard component is, well, not very impressive. So Leopard will boost your Mac's performance but only if you bought it this year. I have to admit I'm beginning to wonder about Apple.
    Can anyone tell me whether Snow Leopard will boost performance on this iMac at all?

    OpenCL is not a "core" Mac OS X component. All it does is allows developers to use a Mac's graphics hardware (the GPU) to do some non-graphics processing in certain situations, basically off-loading some types of work from the CPU. But the primary purpose of the GPU is to accelerate graphics processing, and Snow Leopard supports the OpenGL every bit as well as Leopard. Also, to take advantage of OpenCL, developers have to figure out where they can apply it, and recode their applications to use this new capability. That's going to take time.
    Therefore, Snow Leopard will immediately make your parent's iMac run better, more efficiently, in many ways not related to OpenCL, due to the different areas of optimization. Lack of support for OpenCL does not make that iMac any slower when upgraded to Snow Leopard, it just just a non-factor, something that does not apply. There will be no impact from OpenCL even on supported Macs until developers learn how to use this capability and update their apps.
    It is the same as any improvement Apple makes from one generation of iMac to the next. The 2008 iMac supports 4GB of RAM (officially), the 2009 iMac supports 8GB of RAM. The 2008 iMac can connect a 24-inch second display, the 2009 iMac can connect a 30-inch second display. The 2009 iMac has larger hard drive storage options. And so on...

  • Airport Extreme and Snow Leopard

    Hi All,
    Hello from Brazil. I just got a new 17" MacBook Pro with the intel Core i7 processor, and Snow Leopard 10.6.4. Love it! Very fast, low heat, and good battery life.
    I am trying to set up my old Airport Extreme MB053LL/A base station, but the install disc is not supported on SL. I have all the latest updates from Apple support but it still won't work. Is there a workaround for this? Thanks in advance

    Hi Bob,
    Thanks for responding. I have figured out it is not a problem with the Airport software, but with the DSL modem and the Airport base station. I have the base connected to the modem in the "wan" port as directed, but when I attempt to connect to it using the Airport setup utility, it doesn't recognize it. It "scans" but does not see it.
    I previously had this base station connected to a cable modem on my wife's Macbook and it worked fine. I recently relocated to Brazil and I am wondering if the frequency the base station uses might be the problem. I think I will try resetting the modem as described in the trouble shooting section. If that doesn't work I guess I am sunk. I know my wireless card is working because I can see some other networks here in my neighborhood, and even was able to connect to one that was not secured. Everyone here uses PC. Some of the folks here have never even heard of the Mac!

  • Why can't I open mp4 movies in my new QuickTime Player. I just upgraded my MacBookPro Intel Core Duo to Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

    I recently upgraded my MacBookPro Intel Core Duo to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. When I opened one of my movie clips in mp4 file it was opened by my MPEG Streamclip and not with the new QuickTime Player that came with the new OS. I need to manually open the Quicktime Player and Open file the mp4 movie I want to play it. I have no problem with the QuickTime Pro that  I was using in my previous OS before I upgraded. I did not encounter this problem, however, with my iMac Intel when I upgraded it to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. The Quicktime Player in my iMac Intel automatically opens my mp4 movies. Only my flv files are opened automatically by my MPEG Streamclip as I expected to. Why?

    I am running Photoshop CC 2014 on Windows 8.1 with an AMD quad core processor and AMD E1-2100 APU with AMD Radeon HD 8210 Graphics Card. I have installed the latest driver version 13.152.0.0. When I activate puppet warp, the mesh appears over the image and I can place the first pin.  However, when I go to add the second pin, Photoshop crashes. I have tried with on a new, blank file, with just a few lines on it, but, as soon as I place the first pin, the image disappears, and then, as soon as I click anywhere else in the image, Photoshop crashes. I have followed all the online advice about settings under the Preferences/Performance interface, but nothing fixes the problem. Can anyone please help?

  • In limbo between Leopard and Snow Leopard - stupidly didn't back up

    I've got an old-school black MacBook, about four years old now. I never cared enough to upgrade it to Snow Leopard, but now I want Lion. So, I borrowed my parents' five-license Snow Leopard install disc and started off on the journey to upgrade to Snow Leopard, download the App Store update, then download and install Lion. I didn't get far.
    First, let me say that I didn't back up my hard drive. Like an idiot. Yes, I know it was stupid, so there's no need to say anything. My previous installs (a few clean re-installs) have gone without a hitch, so I figured I'd trust Apple and just run the installation without backing up. Dumb.
    The Snow Leopard installation started fine, but was interrupted when the installer said the install failed. Restart, try again. Booting from the install DVD, things seemed to be going fine a second time around -- picked my language, got to the install set-up screen, picked Macintosh HD as my installation drive. And then things stopped working. The installer said my HD could not be written to and that it needed repair. So I went to Disk Utility to try that. Repair Disk wasn't available, so I clicked Verify Disk. That got interrupted when it said the disk needed to be repaired, after which the Repair Disk button was clickable. Tried to repair, but apparently my HD is screwed beyond the capabilities of Disk Utility.
    I tried to reboot the MacBook from the HD, which Disk Utility said still had Leopard running on it. The computer wouldn't boot up. Safe Boot didn't work. So, without any other real options, I thought I'd try my luck by just trying the install again. Booted up from the install DVD, and ran into the same issues. Didn't magically fix itself, of course. So my MacBook is stuck in limbo between Leopard and Snow Leopard, won't boot from the HD and won't let me repair the disk when booted from the DVD. What do I do?
    I plan to try a couple third-party disk-utility programs tomorrow (8/25/11) to recover the files on my HD. There's not much I care about on there (just some iPhone photos and my resume, really), so doing a clean wipe of the HD and installing Snow Leopard is an option. But I'd of course rather be able to recover my personal files. Is this possible at this point?
    Another question I have regarding a clean wipe: If I end up having to clean off the HD and lose all my data, I'll lose the iTunes configuration for my iPhone. Will iTunes be able to import my apps and settings from my phone if I plug it in?
    Thank you very much.

  • I tried copying a photo and pasting it in another event/group within iPhoto but the paste feature doesn't work.  This wasn't an issue with both Leopard and Snow Leopard.  Do you have any solutions or tips?

    I bought a new MacBook Pro with OsX Lion as operating system.  I use iPhoto a lot and when I tried copying a photo then pasting it to another event/group, the 'paste' feature doesn't work.  This wasn't the case with Leopard and Snow Leopard where the 'paste' feature worked.  What I did was to paste the photo first to the desktop before transferring it to the new event/group.  I brought my Mac to the Apple store where I bought it and the technicians were themselves surprised that the 'paste' feature didn't work.  Chalked it up to glitches in the Lion os.  So how do we fix this?  I just find it absurd that a feature that used to work in Snow Leopard has been disabled in Lion, and the user still has to undergo an additional step to make it work, when new technology is supposed to make things easier for users. 
    Also, hasn't anyone noticed that it takes longer for the computer to boot upon opening? 

    Instead of copy and paste drag the photo to the new event. Or flag it and use the add flagged photos to selected event command

    CAn I run Lion and snow leopard on the same computer with different sign-ins?

    Alternatively, partition your internal HD and dual-boot it. Do note that you have to reboot to switch back and forth. You can't do it by logging out and back in.
