Question about Snow Leopard and iLife

One of my iMac computers has Leopard and iLife 08, if I upgraded to Snow Leopard, will it also upgrade iLife to 09, or will I still have 08?

I erased my hard drive prior to installing SL and restored the bundled apps as you described, but when I launch iPhoto I get the following message:
"You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto."
I did a software update and now have v7.1.4. I'm puzzled because I don't have any other versions of iPhoto that I could have made changes to my library with.

Question about Snow Leopard and my Macbook Black

I have a macbook black and run it with 4gb of ram right now--the new info for snow leopard says that the OS will support 8gb+ ... is there a hardware issue on a late 2007 macbook black that's preventing this or will I be able to drop 8gb of ram in this guy once i upgrade the os?

Yes, considering that Snow Leopard (10.6.x) will theoretically support up to 16TB of RAM (Even though that is not possible right now on a consumer machine) it does not mean your hardware will support it. If you have only hardware capable of utilizing 4 GB of RAM, then no matter what the OS's max is, if the RAM slots and the rest of the hardware can not address or otherwise interact with the RAM, it will not be supported, and considering you do not have a MacBook Pro, iMac, or Mac Pro, you will not be able to address this amount of RAM, and could cause problems. If you need 8 GB of RAM, then look into this computer for notebooks:

17": http://store.apple.com/us/configure/MC226LL/A?mco=NjcxMTU1OQ
or for desktops: iMacs: 20": http://store.apple.com/us/configure/MB417LL/A?mco=NDE4Mzg3Ng
24": http://store.apple.com/us/configure/MB420LL/A?mco=NDE4Mzg5OQ
For Mac Pros: Quad-Core: http://store.apple.com/us/configure/MB871LL/A?mco=NDE4NDIwNA
and for 8-Core: http://store.apple.com/us/configure/MB535LL/A?mco=NDE4NDIyMQ
The 8-core machine can come with up to 32 GB, but for 32 GB of RAM from Apple, it is $6100 extra from the original 6GB that comes standard. For the best deal for the amount of power you get for how much you pay would be the Mac Pro, and for notebooks it would be the MacBook Pro, and if you are doing the things that soak up RAM like video editing, you would want a 15" or 17" MacBook Pro or a 24" iMac, because the screen size would be best for displaying your RAM-soaking applications. If you need tons of power (talking 3.2+ Gigaflops a second) you would want to get a Mac Pro, with a 24" or 30" external display screen. You could also get a 3rd party screen for less, but if you want all of the features of the Apple Display, you should go for this option. Also, the Mac Pro can support more that 1 24" cinema display if configured correctly, which can be combined to make a really wide screen, perfect for the ultimate multitasker. Hope that was of help.

Snow Leopard and iLife 09 Question

Hello,
I apologize that this may be an extremely naive question.
I have Leopard 10.5.6 and iLife 08. I was planning on upgrading to iLife 09. My naive question is this.
Would it be advantageous to wait until Snow Leopard comes out and upgrade everything then? I want to do the most economical move - so if waiting and upgrading later in the year (maybe) and get both, or because one is a OS and one is application it doesn't really matter so just upgrade now with iLife 09 and then upgrade the OS later whenever it may happen.
I apologize if that question is not even correct. Please correct me though so I know better!!
Thanks!

Hi,
in my opinion the only reason for waiting that would make sense, is when you're planning to buy a new Mac after Snow Leopard's release. That's because you always get the latest versions of OS X and iLife included with the Mac. If that is not the case, then you can get iLife '09 now, later or never depending on your need for it. If you like to have the new features then why not get it now. If they're not important for you, that's ok too.

OS 10.6 Snow Leopard and iLife '09 installations disks ejected and not read

I bought the Mac Box Set intending to upgrade from Tiger 10.4.9 to Snow Leopard 10.6 and iLife '09 and iWork '09. I was able only to install the iWork disc. The other two are ejected without any error message or notice of any sort. The Genius desk was unable to solve the problem. Please help.

Is it possible that there are certain firmware or OS patches that conflict with SL? How about any third-party apps?
Any third party OS patch could conflict with running Snow Leopard, & a few could conflict with installing that OS when you start out the installation process by clicking on the "Install Mac OS X" icon while running your Mac normally (IOW, when it has started up from the internal HD), but none should cause the installer disc to be ejected when the Mac is starting up, including when the "Install Mac OS X" application does a restart, which it should do at about 10 to 15 minutes into the normal install process.
This is because at startup time, no OS has loaded yet -- in fact, part of the startup process involves looking for disks that might contain an OS to start up from, including on DVD's in the optical drive.
IOW, if you can start up from the installer DVD, it doesn't matter what is on some other disk. If you can't, then either the drive or disc is defective or your firmware (including what is stored in "PRAM") is messed up. You can reset PRAM using the method discussed elsewhere in this thread. As long as any firmware patch came from Apple & was successfully installed, there is very little chance that it is the problem. If it is the problem, there is not much you can do about it besides taking the Mac in for service.

A few questions about Snow Leopard before purchase

it was first a french post that I translate:
salut, quelques questions avant mon achat éventuel de Snow:
Hi, a few questions before I purchase Snow Leopard:
1) le update est-il multilingue. c.à.d a-t-on aussi le choix de la langue comme pour pour la version complète?
Is the upgrade also multilanguages as for the complete version?
2) suffit-il de lancer l'installation de la mise à jour si on a déjà Leopard installé?
Need I only to install the upgrade version when Leopard is already installed?
3) les programmes tels que Pages, Photoshop cs3, etc... fonctionnent-ils sans problème sous Snow? Do old programs from Leopard run normally, are they all compatible such Photoshop cs3, etc...?
4) est-ce plus fiable de désinstaller Leopard et d'installer Snow Leopard complètement?
Is it more reliable to desinstall first old version of Leopard and then install Snow Leopard?
Who knows?

There are mixed reports saying some things work fine in CS3, while others do not.
Pages '09 certainly works, since it is available as part of the Mac Box Set with Snow Leopard. Earlier versions of Pages remains to be seen.
You shouldn't have to uninstall Leopard. The specs call for the lowest priced version of Snow Leopard to simply install on top of Leopard.
However, you should make sure to follow the tips on this FAQ*:

Quick question about reinstalling Lion and iLife

Hi,
I have a MacBook Pro mid 2010.
If I reinstall Lion, I obviously need the "Applications Install DVD" to install iLife. This should work even if the DVD is for Snow Leopard that came with my Mac, right?
Just to make sure...
V-M

This is much simpler.
If you have the System Restore disks that came with your Mac then yes, you do have the iLife apps on them.
Yes you can install the iLife apps without installing the whole OS. Just opt to 'Install Bundled Applications only'

Did you delete the receipts with iPhoto in the file name before reinstalling iPhoto?
You have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,

Then install iPhoto from the disks it came on originally and apply the latest, applicable updates.

Snow leopard and rosetta

I have a couple of questions about snow leopard and rosetta.
1. Quicken uses PowerPC code. Will Rosetta install automagically when I start Quicken or do I need to install Rosetta as part of the install.
2. Assuming a Quicken update in the not too distant future, and assuming that other Rosetta apps are banished from my computer, is there a way to de-install Rosetta code when it is no longer needed?
Thanks

sdevan,
First, I'm not sure why you are that concerned over Rosetta, other than the fact that universal binary apps will always run at least somewhat better than the PPC equivalents. There are still many PPC machines in the install base, so PPC code (and thus Rosetta) will not be going away any time soon. But, your questions...
1) Obviously, Rosetta must be present within OS X in order for you to run PPC applications. No one knows yet whether or not Rosetta will be installed by default. I very strongly recommend that you carefully review the options within the Snow Leopard installer when you run it.
2) Again, we don't know. I would think it would be rather difficult to get rid of everything associated with Rosetta, if it exists as part of OS X. I wouldn't recommend trying, and in truth, I see no reason why one would want to do so. There would be no benefit.

Snow Leopard and FCP

I have a couple questions about Snow Leopard with Final Cut Studio.
First, in a quick search, I saw a couple folks saying that the experienced crashes or other basic problems under Snow Leopard. Is that a common problem from what you folks have seen?
Second, does render performance speed up due to Grand Central Dispatch distributing it across more processors in the system, or just by the greater horsepower of 64-bit operation?

For me, at least, there were issues but they were corrected by the x.0.1 updates released a few weeks ago. I was on 10.6.1 at the time and have recently updated to 10.6.2, things seem all good.
In case it matteres, my main editing machine is a 2007 8-core that I simply upgraded to SL (I did not Erase-and-Install). With just 10.6.0 and FCP 7.0.0, I would get regular crashes with FXplug Filters. I have an ATI X1900X card.

Recently safari has been quit unexpectedly I've upgraded to snow leopard and I have the latest safari software. What can I do about it to rectify the problem?

Recently Safari has been quitting unexpectedly. I've dumped my cache several times and even upgraded to snow leopard.l I have the latest version of Safari 5.0.5. The situation has gotten quite annoying and been going on for about three weeks now. What can I do to fix this short of bringing it to someone?
I restart and it works fine for awhile and then it quits again. I either restart and/or dump the cache AGAIN! This is getting quite tedious. I've even taken the battery out and reinstalled it. Nothing seems to stop the quitting.

First, install OS X, then install your third-party software.
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:
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the
      Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the
      Source entry field.
7. 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:
1. 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.
2. 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.)
3. 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:
      1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
      2. Restart the computer.
      3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
      4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple
          logo appears.
      5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
      6. Follow instructions.
After installing Snow Leopard you should update it by downloading and installing Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
