RAM not made for snow leopard or lion?

Still running leopard.
Snow leopard still gets terminal error and shuts down after heavy useage or after a period of time. have troubleshot everything to the point where my RAM is in question. I did upgrade to 32 GB RAM shortly before first attempt at installing snow leopard. Bought RAm new from trusted source-OWC. How can I determine the cause of my failure to upgrade OS?
yes, have attempted clean installs with just base software. have tried various cloning methods. different hard drives. SSD hard drive. resetting all RAM, unplugging everything, removing all windows 7 and all windows components. still get terminal shutdown errors in anything besides Leopard.

yes, better terminology would be a kernal panic.
my bad, can never remember or screen clip the proper name.
not a dust issue. mac has plenty of breathing space.
motherboard issue would present itself in either OS leopard or Snow Leopard.
checked and verified all of the RAM was working 100% with an app that checks that sort of thing.
nothing in the kernal logs consistent to determine any specific problem with a devise or a software. and, since the kernal panic happens anytime in SNow Leopard: on a clean install with no software or external hardware attached as well as a completely loaded system, by process of eliminating neither software nor the drive would not be a source of problem-error occurs tested using multiple internal hard drives.
Hopefully, Lion will fix whatever has prevented a lasting upgrade over all of this time.

Is aperature 3.3 not available for snow leopard

I just recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and went to purchase Aperture 3 today. The app store tells me that I had to have OS X 10.74 to purchase. Does this mean that I now have to purchase Lion to be able to use Aperture 3? I was told that it would work on Snow Leopard.

In the upper left corner, choose "About this Mac." The dialog will tell you the OS X version you're running.
Note if you're able to run the Mac App Store already then you must be on 10.6.6 or later. The App Store came with 10.6.6.
You'll still probably want to use "Software Update" under the Apple menu to ensure you're updated to 10.6.8 first.
Do note that Mountain Lion has been announced to be coming out in July (i.e. this month) and will cost $19.99 as an update from either Snow Leopard or Lion. So if you wait until it releases, you get it for $19.99. If you want to buy Lion now it's $29.99, and then you may have to pay another $19.99 to upgrade to Mountain Lion from there.
If it were me, and I had a machine that could run Mountain Lion, I'd personally go that route. You need to go to Apple's Mountain Lion page to see if your machine can run it, though, as some of the machines from 2008 and earlier cannot run it.

Address book and ical not working for snow leopard clients

We have upgraded our server to mountain lion from snow leopard.
At first glance all appears to have gone well, however, the ical and address book services don't appear to be working for snow leopard clients. These services DO appear to be working for lion clients.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I am at work right now and don't have access to my Mac. But I need to as if your Dad is on Windows Active Directory network? I also found these directions for Princeton's 2010 Exchange that might help. Did he set up the Address contacts & iCal Calenders were enabled when setting up the account in Mail?

Unable to set up a dual boot for Snow Leopard and Lion

I'm running an early 2011 MacBook Pro. I originally ran this machine with Snow leopard for quite a while. I've got 8 GB RAM and lots of free space on my hard drive. I upgraded to Lion and it works well. But I want to boot to Snow Leopard from an external drive to run some old Rosetta apps. However, I couldn't run the Snow Leopard installation disk on the Lion Machine. When I tried to boot to the installation disk, I would get a beeping sound during startup, three beeps in a row - repeating, and it would not boot. So I connected the external to another machine running Snow Leopard and I installed a new version of Snow Leopard on the external drive. But my Lion machine will not boot from that external. I am able to select the Snow Leopard drive in the Start Up Disk pane in the prefs. But when I restart, I just get the three beeps. I must be missing something here. Any help would be appreciated.

Not in cases when the computer successfully boots to one OS but produces three beeps when an attempt is made to boot it to another. If it really was a RAM problem that serious, the computer wouldn't get as far as checking the OS version, and it has no problems booting Lion. In the event of a minor RAM problem, it wouldn't produce three beeps like that at all.

Storage usage, for Snow Leopard, like Lions about this mac option?

When you hit about this mac on Lion you have an option to look at a storage break down. i.e it shows you what files are using the storage. Is there a way to do this on snow leopard? Either an app or widget for the dashboard?

I plugged the external drive with Snow Leopard (it's set to always boot in 64 bit kernel), and booted up iMac with it. It started fine, but it decided to use 32 bit kernel anyway. This is iMac version 7.1 with 64 bit EFI and 4 GB of RAM. It should technically be possible to boot 64 bit kernel, but doesn't work. I won't even try my Aluminum Macbook .

Serial Number not recognized for Snow Leopard Up to Date

Not sure where to post this question as it pertains to Snow Leopard....
Just bought a new imac but its Serial Number is not being recognized on the Snow Leopard Up to Date page. The serial number is recognized elsewhere, such as the warranty check page.
Suggestions? Thanks

That's a shame. But I suspect it's temporary. I think you get 90 days from the date of purchase to get the free upgrade. I assume that Apple will be better able to deal with this issue as we get closer to the release date.
Meanwhile, we are not Apple employee's and can not speak for the company or guess what the problem is. Apple does have a direct Feedback site that they do read and respond to:

Flash Player Installed and not working for Snow Leopard

I recently installed Snow Leopard a couple days ago and everything seemed fine, but now tonight the flash player doesn't work. I use flash player for my homework for my Philosophy class and all of a sudden it doesn't work, I don't get it. I've installed, re-installed, updated, etc adobe flash player and my mac and nothings worked, I don't know whats going on. Please help.

Sorry, I know nothing about Mac OS; all I can do is point you to the troubleshooting page http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html

Am I SOL for Snow Leopard/Mountain Lion?

I have an iMac7,1 model. I was going to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but found I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard first. Okay. No biggie. Single user upgrade was like $30 as I recall. Well, seems you can't get it now. So am I screwed or what?

Phone the Apple Store and order it.

Aperture 3.3 for Lion, but... how to install 3.2.4 for Snow Leopard?

New version Aperture (3.3) is not available on Snow Leopard (only Lion). Ok... but how to buy/reinstall Aperture 3.2.4 on my Mac of Snow Leopard?

You still might be able to buy a boxed version of Aperture 3 at a local Apple store, but that will be much more expensive than the download from the App Store.
Since you cannot upgrade your machine to Lion, I'd stick with iPhoto, until you will invest into a new computer. iPhoto libraries now can be opened by Aperture, so any work you invest into an iPhoto library will not be lost, once you transit.
No, I dont' want iPhoto. I need Aperture 3. It was available in the Mac App Store for Snow Leopard for a good price. At this moment I feel just cheated. Many people have a problem now - they have bought and can not update / reinstall. I can not buy. It should not be so. I'm sorry for my english.

Dual boot machine- snow leopard and Lion

It appears I will need to set up one of my machines as dual boot, containing partitions for Snow Leopard and Lion. The reason is that Quicken is NOT compatible with Lion, and will apparently never be. Intuits "solutions" are to go to other, far less capable software, or not upgrade. Which, of course means, NEVER upgrade again.
So, I think my best solution is to set up a partition for snow leopard and one for Lion. How do I go about this? Size of partition. How to partition? Which boot disks do I use to do this?
Any help is much appreciated.

Ok, I just got done doing this yesterday so I can lay it out for you.
1: Copy all your user files to a regular external drive and disconnect.
2: Carbon Copy Cloner your 10.6.8 setup to another blank HFS+Journaled external drive and disconnect.
3: Hold c and boot off the 10.6 installer disk and erase your entire boot drive in Disk Utility (under the Utilities menu) format HFS+Journaled (default) of course.
4: Quit and install 10.6. Setup with the same user name as Snow. Run the 10.6.8 Combo Update. Then Software Update.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
5: Use the MacAppStore to download Lion, BUT DO NOT INSTALL yet! Cancel it and click on the Installer and select "Show in Finder" follow these instructions to make boot DVD's and dmg images of Lion installer.
http://www.eggfreckles.net/tech/burning-a-lion-boot-disc/
6: Once you do that, then Install Lion. On a pristine 10.6.8 with no third party programs or other BS it should go perfectly. Check it out that it's stable just in case or else hold command r and boot into the Recovery Partition and redownload/install again.
7: Once that's done and Software Updated, run Bootcamp and create a Windows partition larger than your 10.6.8 clone naturally. The size is up to you to decide. Cancel the Bootcamp when the partition is created.
8: Hold Option and boot off the 10.6.8 clone with all your stuff and programs, use Disk Utility to change the "BOOTCAMP" partition to "Snow Leopard" and make it a HFS+ Journaled partition from the MSDOS format (not the whole drive now or you'll lose Lion and the Recovery Partition) If this doesn't work then use Disk Utility c booted from the 10.7 DVD or command r from the Lion Recovery Partition and use Disk Utility there.
9: Once that's done, Option boot off the 10.6.8 clone and Carbon Copy Clone 10.6.8 onto the Snow Leopard partition.
Walla, a dual boot system with all your stuff intact. Just hold option upon boot and/or use the Startup Disk in System Preferences to set a default.
I'm currently working on a quad boot system now. It's got Lion, Snow, Linux and will have Windows too. A lot more complicated than simply Snow and Lion.
Note: OS X Lion reguires a internet connection to install, even from a boot DVD.
Enjoy.

What app replaces MacJanitor for Snow Leopard

I need an app to replace MacJanitor for Snow Leopard, and Lion. Any suggestions???

Not really needed and I don't know of anything. Snow Leopard runs the periodic scripts at wake up if the computer has been sleeping. But you can rotate the system.log manually. This doesn't get run if the computer has been asleep (I think it's midnight.) See the command and instructions in my post in this nearby thread.

I have updated from Snow Leopard to Lion with Safari Version 5.0.5. Now I can not update to Safari 5.1. There is no update in the Software Updater, and on the apple-download page, I only found a Safari 5.1 for Snow Leopard. When executing it, there is an error message, that it is for 10.6 only.
It seems that I should have first updated Safari, and then only to Lion, which I didn't. Any idea how I can fix this now without having to rollback to Snow Leopard, update Safari and then go back to Lion?

Try this Safari5.1 from the installer package

The download worked better with Firefox not sure why. At the bottom of the page after the captcha>> slow down load is the Free link, it took about 4 minutes to download on my test.

many thanks Carl.

You must boot from another drive in order to erase the system drive.
Try starting up with Snow Leopard DVD inserted and C depress. That should get you booted from the DVD. Then start Disk Utitlity from DVD and erase the disk then you should be able to install Snow Leopard.
Remember that everything will be removed from the disk when you erase it and install Snow Leopard so backup first.

Snow leopard or lion for MacBook 2.1?

I want to do an OS upgrade to my mid 2007 MacBook currently running OS10.5.8. What is more appropriate, Snow Leopard or Lion? The only hardware upgrade I plan to do is RAM to 4 GB (3.3 available). Because of cost I don't want to upgrade to a SSD.
My question is will Lion run too slowly on my comuter with 4 GB RAM and no SSD (see specs below)? My current use for the MacBook are browsing, MS Office and similar, and streaming TV shows. I am considering Lion over SL because I read you can install the same aps as I put on my iPad Mini and iPhone 5.
Thanks for your opinions.

Is your MS Office 2004 or 2008. 2004 will not run under Lion because it's a Power PC program. Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.
