Reinstalling Snow Leopard w/ Applications
Hi,
I am trying to sell my aluminum MB to upgrade. I am going to reinstall Snow Leopard to erase all my personal information. If I do this, will applications like Microsoft Office and DJay be erased as well? These will increase the value of my laptop, and I don't have the disks so I wouldn't be able to install them again.
Thanks
Reinstalling Snow Leopard (or any other version of Mac OS X) won't delete any applications, but it won't erase your personal information either.
Note that if you're selling some applications with your computer, you won't own those applications anymore. Keeping them on another computer, whether you still have the disks or not, would be in violation of licence agreements in most cases. You probably don't want to sell those applications, and - legally, if not technically - probably cannot do so if you're keeping them on another machine.
To delete your personal data, create a new user account. Log in with that new user account, then delete the user account you were using with that machine. As long as you kept all your own files sandboxed in your user account's home folder, that should remove all your information. Of course, that's not really secure and anyone with the tiniest bit of technical knowledge could still recover your deleted files.
A safer option is to boot from your Snow Leopard DVD and perform a "secure erase" - one pass of writing zeros should be sufficient unless you're guarding the nation's nuclear secrets. Then install Snow Leopard fresh from the DVD. This will of course remove not only all your personal data but all applications as well. As I noted above, you probably don't really want to sell your applications so this is the better approach to take.

I can't boot my MBP or reinstall snow leopard
I have an old 2005 MBP (non unibody) using snow leopard. I urgently need to get it running again since it stopped booting up last feb 2012 and I haven't used it since as I'm using a desktop now. When I turn it on I get no chime and the screen goes grey with an alternating apple logo, and a no entry sign, and occasionally a folder with a question mark on it. When I insert snow leopard and reboot it allows me to select language, and the home screen comes up with the option to reinstall the OS. I have also been to the utilities>disk utilities and tried verifying and then repairing the HD. When verifying it says my drive appears to be ok, and when repairing it appears to have not fixed anything. I've then quitter DU and gone back to try re-installing snow leopard and although the progress bar estimates 30mins or so it takes hours, then gets to about 3/4 done and comes up with a failure message saying..
Install Failed
Mac OSX could not be installed on your computer
The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail.
Contact the manufacturer for assistance
Click restart to restart your computer and try installing again
I did have the installer log window open whilst trying this and the last line before the install failure message contains loads of stuff which means nothin to me but contained within this text is this "an error occurred while extracting files from the package " lexmark_laserdrivers.pkg". Underlying error=(error domain=BOMcopierfatalerror code=28....(loads more text after this..)
Any help would be appreciated!!
ThanksReinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears 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.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro 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.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard and foolishly upgraded to Yosemite. Now have numerous problems. Is it possible to go back in time with Time Machine and reinstall Snow Leopard? Then upgrade to Lion or Mavericks? Any other ideas on how I can exit Yosemite?
Once you get yourself back to Snow Leopard, if you still want to upgrade somewhat, I would suggest the following:
1. Get an external hard drive that you can use for experiments with new OS versions. You could partition it into 2 or 3 partitions. You could then clone your existing Snow Leopard system to one partition using Carbon Copy Cloner (well worth $40) or SuperDuper ($25).
2. Buy OS X Mountain Lion for $20, through the Apple online store (I don't think it's available through the App Store). Apple has decided to make it very difficult for anyone to get Mavericks unless they have already downloaded it.
You will receive two e-mails from Apple, one containing a PDF with a redemption code, and one with the password you will need to unlock the PDF. Using the code, you will download Mountain Lion from the App Store, where it will appear among your Purchased items.
After ML finishes downloading, its installer app will launch itself. When you see this launch screen, QUIT the install app immediately! Go to your applications folder, find the Install OS X Mountain Lion app, and copy it to a safe location outside of your Applications folder. Keeping one or more copies will allow you to reinstall without unnecessary aggravation if you later need or want to do that. At this point, you can re-launch the Installer in the Applications folder and let it run. You can install it on a clean partition on your external HD, or you can allow it to upgrade the Snow Leopard clone you created on your external drive, or you can do both. This should allow you to test how everything works for as long as you like.
3. If you left yourself a free partition on your test drive, try a clean install of Yosemite and set everything up from scratch (do not migrate anything). This will allow you to see whether your problems with it were related to something in your Snow Leopard system. -
HT3910 How do I erase Mountain Lion and reinstall Snow Leopard?
Can anyone help me erase Mountain Lion and reinstall Snow Leopard. When I had installed Mountain Lion,I discovered that my music notation program, Overture was not working with Mountain Lion. Please help me, years of work is for now lost.
Back up your data files.
Use the Snow Leopard installer disc to completely erase your hard drive and everything on it.
Re-install the SL operating system, then all your applications, then your data files.
If you happened to make a bootable backup clone of your hard drive before installing Mountail Lion then you can just clone the backup back to your drive. -

Plz tell me how to reinstall snow leopard and plz tell me teps too as it will help me a lot.Boot up from your Snow Leopard DVD. Launch Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Erase your hard drive. Then reinstall Snow Leopard. Restore your personal data from backups. Reinstall your apps from their original install discs, or from fresh downloads from trusted sources. No more torrent sites for you.

What to do with iWork licence if reinstalling Snow Leopard
I need to reformat my disk and reinstall Snow Leopard. I have a Family pack iWorks 09. What do I need to do to reinstall iWorks after I reinstall SL? Any issues about the licence that I should be aware of? Also what do I need to do to recover any of the templates I have created in Pages?
Thanks.
StephenHi Stephen
If you have the DVDs and had no serial number just reinstall.
If you had a DL and a serial just use that serial number when you reinstall.
Your personal templates are stored in:
~/Library/Application Support/iWork/Pages/My Templates unless you put them somewhere else.
Just back them up and drag them back to the same location after the reinstall.
I suggest you use *Carbon Copy* to make a compressed back up of your entire HD and mount and use that to get all your old stuff back after the reinstall. OSX has succeeded in becoming as complex if not more so than Windows (and the crowds cheered for more!), so I would not count on you having manually located everything you are going to miss after the reinstall.

Since I've installed Lion on my early 2009 model iMac, it runs really slow and sometimes is unresponsive. I'm thinking of reinstalling Snow Leopard, removing Lion, but want to know if anyone has done this and experienced any problems or data loss.

He already has Time Machine backups.
Reformat, reinstall OSX Snow Leopard and then restore your applications, settings and user directories
You can do most of that, but "complex" 3rd-party applications (typically, ones that came with their own installers) must be reinstalled from the original discs. See Transferring Applications for details.
And don't restore the default Apple apps -- most (or all) of the Lion versions won't work on Snow Leopard.
Other apps (iLife, iWork, 3rd-party) that were updated or purchased after the Lion installation also may not work on Snow Leoaprd.
In addition, there will be problems with some Snow Leopard apps that won't work with the different file/folder structure used on Lion. Mail is one, for sure.
Much faster than TM machine,
Should take about the same time as from a clone.
you should be up and running in an hour or two.
Depending on how much there is, and especially how many complex apps, that may be rather optimistic.
Save yourself a bundle by not buying a new iMac.
Absolutely (although that didn't seem serious). -
Reinstalled Snow Leopard - or did I??
HI all.
Lately my Snow Leopard has become a Snow Turtle. Harddisk is spinning alot and many operations must wait and wait before it becomes their turn. Harddisk has been checked, permissions repaired and many other tricks that should have solved the problem. Finally I decided to reinstall Snow Leopard on my iMac24.
The disc was inserted and a reinstall was tried. Everything went smooth and the Mac restarted fine. However it seems like no reinstall has been made. There are no softwareupgrades available and a new folder called Mac OS X Install Data has appeared at the toplevel besides Applications, Library and users. It contains a long row of software updaters pretty much like the folder Receipts that are nomally located in the Library folder.
What has happened???Thanks - of course...
I believe this is the problem:
X.app/Contents/Resources/InstallAssistantTool106[836]: Couldn't bless the installation disk: disk1
If I recall correctly this means that the installation disc could not be set as the boot volume?
Well, what do I do next - find another Installation DVD?
Best regards
Jesper

I am trying to reinstall Snow Leopard on my iMac (Spring '08)...
I am trying to reinstall Snow Leopard on my iMac (Spring '08) and part way through the install my screen shuts off and does nothing but my computer is still running. I've turned it off, unplugged it and let it sit for about 10 minutes. I turn it back up and hold down "c" to boot from disk and the install screen pops back up. I do a disk check and it passes so I try to install again, which it says it can restore the last install's process and then begins installing again. After about 10-15 minutes my screen shuts off and goes to sleep, my mouse and keyboard will not wake it up. All I have plugged in is the mighty mouse and keyboard. This is getting frustrating...
Reset the SMC
The computer sleeps or shuts down unexpectedly.

Hello,
I have installed mountain lion on my macbook pro ,but it made my mac very slow. Would someone please tell me how to uninstall this one and reinstall snow leopard? I tried to do it by my original CDs but macbook pro didn't let me to do it.
ThanksIt would be easier to just fix whatever is making your machine slow.
I wrote a little diagnostic program to help show what might be causing these problems. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etresoft.com/download/EtreCheck.zip, run it, and paste the results here.

I 'upgraded' to Mt Lion over the weekend. It seemed very slow, and sluggish. Within a day I realized also that my Reunion program would not work,
my Quicken would not work, and who knows what else. I kept getting alerts saying that I could not use any PC programs. So, I decided to go back to Snow Leopard - I spent two and a half hours on the phone with two very capable people, then was told that I'd have to take it to an Apple Store. I DO have
extended warranty but a lot of good THAT does! Besides, our nearest store is 160 miles away! So, I took it to our local authorized dealer. It is currently
being worked on, and the minimum will be $189! Fortunately, Time Machine was being backed up by my external hard drive. But, I just received a
call and they can't make my password work to get in! Somehow that has changed back to an old one I don't remember!
MY COMPLAINT: When speaking with a rep about the feasibility of downloading Mt Lion, not ONCE did anyone tell me that I 'might' have these
problems. I NEVER would have upgraded! Now I just want my computer restored to USABLE -What an unfortunate story. I hope you will quickly get things back to normal.
To be fair though, there has been quite a lot written about the effects of mountain Lion and the loss of Rosetta, as one example. I am wondering just how much research you did before buying.
But on the brighter side, you can wipe Mountain Lion and reinstall Snow Leopard with not too much trouble. It would have been much worse had you bought a new machine with M.L. pre-installed and then found your programs wouldn't work.

ESATA is no longer recognized after I reinstalled snow leopard
I have been using an Iogear 2-port adaptor card for an eSATA connection for Time Machine backups, have just reinstalled snow leopard because of the spinning beach ball (told to do it at the store). No other problems with the reinstall that I can tell yet, but now I can't make get it to recognize the eSATA connection. Have tried replugging and turning everything on and off. Any suggestions? Thanks-
Have you checked with vendor for your adapter card to see if they have an updated driver for Snow Leopard?
