Restore snow leopard without removing files/preferences

I installed Lion when it first came out but i want to go back to snow leopard to be able to use Pro tools 9 software. However, i dont want to lose some files and settings. How can i do this? i do have a time machine disk which was used atleast once with Snow leopard. Thanks

Backup first. Then,
Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1.  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.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

    When you installed Snow Leopard, Tiger was replaced, leaving your programs and files intact.
    What is causing your freezing problem is unknown, you can take Kappy's advice and remove everything, but you lose your files and free iLife programs that came with Tiger/new machine.
    The 10.6.3 disk you "upgraded" with has the full 10.6.3 on it, but no free iLife suit, so a erase and install will remove what you already have installed.
    You can try to locate your problem without the erase and install method by running through this list of fixes.
    Step by Step to fix your Mac
    But before you do anything, backup your personal data off the machine to a extenal drive and disconnect.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    Because if you have to follow Kappy's advice and wipe and install 10.6 fresh, it will cure your problem in nearly 99% of cases, but you have to rebuild everything. All programs and files.
    How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
    If this is all too much for you, then STOP and call a local PC/Mac service or competant friend to assist you.
    Yuo might need to install more RAM into the machine to make 10.6 run better as well.

  • How to restore snow leopard without disk.

    Hi I have a macbook with snow leopard on it, and I recently tried to restore it with the disk until the superdrive litterally carved grooves into the disk. So I know I can purcahse replacement disks, but the disk drive doesn't work, so what do I do now? Is there any way I can do it without the disk, or will I have to drop  100 dollars into a disc drive and a new replacement disk? I would really prefer not to so any help is appreciated.

    You can get a fairly cheap external CD/DVD burner/player at Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/External-CD-DVD-Blu-Ray-Drives/SubCategory/ID-420?Order=PR ICE

  • Can I install Lion over Snow Leopard without erasing and restoring hard drive?

    Been reading a lot about downloading Lion. Recommended to back up hard drive to ext. drive, erase hard drive, install Lion and then re-install apps and files from ext. drive. Can I just install Lion over Snow Leopard without erasing all apps and files on hard drive?

    If you do an upgrade install then be sure to do this first:
    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. Make a bootable backup just in case. Clone 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.

  • Restore Snow Leopard From time Machine without an Optical drive

    I have a couple of year old Macbook with a bad optical drive.
    I want to pull the hard drive out of the Macbook and replace it with the original drive that came with the machine. The problem is that the original drive has OSX Leopard and I would like to get snow leopard on it. I have a good time machine backup that i could use, but i do not know how to restore the entire disk without using the OSX install DVD.
    Is there anyway that i can do a time machine recovery without using the optical drive.
    Thanks.

    In order to restore Snow Leopard to that drive, it will need to be formatted using Disk Utility and I can't think of a way to do that without the optical drive unless you use a different Mac or an external optical drive.

  • How can i do a factory reset in snow leopard without the disk to start off new without losing my other programs

    how can i do a factory reset on snow leopard without the disk to start off new without losing my programs?

    You can't. You will need a Snow Leopard disc. You can purchase replacements for your computer from Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Apple - Support - Contact Apple Support.
    A "factory reset" means you erase the drive securely. All of your files will be removed permanently. I suggest you make a backup:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
      1. Open Disk Utility in 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. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
           it to the Destination entry field.
      5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
          the Source entry field.
      6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.

  • How do I install Snow Leopard while keeping files, applications, and settings

    I need to update my system, I realized that I need Snow Leopard (quiet late) before Maverick. My question is, how can I install it keeping files and all the data. I found this on Internet, does it work?
    Install Snow Leopard while keeping files, applications, and settings
    If you follow these steps, the installer will replace your operating system if one is already present, but will preserve your account information and personal files.  You may have to reinstall some applications, however.
    Insert the install disc (or the first install disc if you have more than one) into your disc drive. Restart your computer while holding down the c key. This causes your computer to start up from the install disc rather than your hard drive. When you see the gray Apple insignia, release c . 
    The Mac OS X installer should open automatically. Follow the on-screen prompts to read and accept the license agreement and begin the installation. When prompted to choose a destination disk, select your preferred location and click Install. 
    When the Mac OS X installation finishes with the disc, restart your computer. After the installation completes, a configuration program may begin automatically if you are installing for the first time. You will need to supply basic setup information for your computer. 
    Update your system software to ensure that you have the most recent operating system components.  From the Apple menu, select Software Update... , and then follow the instructions on the screen. Often, you will have to restart your computer, and you may have to run Software Update multiple times before it can completely update your system.

    That's why you need to back it up. You won't need to restore the backup immediately afterwards unless something goes wrong during the upgrade, but you'll need it later; the drive will eventually fail.

  • Computer iMac7,1 has been giving sundry problems for some time. Within the last six weeks I have reinstalled the OS (Snow Leopard), without affecting the overall contents of the hard drive. ±3 weeks later the problems became more serious and I again reins

    Computer iMac7,1 has been giving sundry problems for sometime. Within the last six weeks I have reinstalled the OS (Snow Leopard),without affecting the overall contents of the hard drive.
    ±3 weeks later the problems became more serious and I againreinstalled the OS and installed OS 6.6.7 from the internet.
    I used the option to restore from the external backup driveand went back some time as it was my intention to reinstall individualcomponent in an attempt to find out where the problem might lie. This hasintroduced an entirely new problem! If I open Time Machine from the desktop itappears that all backups from late 2009 to June 2011 are intact. But, in thiscase there are none of the restore functions &c on screen. The latter areonly shown if Time Machine is opened from the menu bar or from the dock but, inthis case, available are only backups in late 2009!
    I also opened the Apple Hardware Test in an attempt toestablish the nature of the problem. The ‘quick’ version said there’s nothingwrong; the more detailed one reported “Error detected, 4HD/11/40000004.” I haveagain tried to employ this test but nothing I do can induce it to open!!!
    What to do? I need help urgently and would appreciate anyadvice that offers solutions to the problem.

    To check your S.M.A.R.T status open disk utility and click on your drive and then click on the info icon.

  • Tiger to Snow Leopard without disk

    Hello everyone,
    The hard drive on my 2.16 ghz white MacBook just gave up the ghost. Luckily, my computer fit the specs to have Apple replace it for free.
    Earlier this year, I upgraded to Snow Leopard. I am currently living in Germany and didn't bring my Snow Leopard disk with me (obviously didn't think I would need it). I didn't think it would be a big deal, but when I got my computer back I realized many of the programs, including Adobe, don't run on 10.4.
    So I was wondering if there was any way to upgrade to Snow Leopard without having to buy another disk. The disks that I've found over here are more than in the US and I can't shell out the money for that right now (poor student budget).
    I would really love any tips that you could offer. Thank you!

    Why Apple does what it does is something only Apple knows for sure, but consider that:
    • To provide for what you suggest, there would have to be a unique serial or registration number or some similar way to prove that you did buy Snow Leopard, & it would have to be provided with every sale. This would be a hassle for Apple, for resellers, & for users.
    • A disk failure is a rare event. Installing or upgrading to Snow Leopard is not. It is even rarer for users to have a disk failure & no access to their Snow Leopard installer disc.
    • The OS installer still has to be obtained. Even if you could use a registration number (if you had that with you) to gain access to a secure site to download an image of the installer disc, you would still have to have access to a working Mac (with a functional copy of the Mac OS on it) to use the image file. Plus, you are looking at over 5 GB of installer data, a very large download.
    • Your system discs are an essential part of your computer. They not only allow you to format & reinstall the OS but also are the only source for reinstalling bundled applications like iLife (which do not come with retail copies of Snow Leopard or Leopard) & for running the Apple Hardware Test.
    • The Apple software license already allows you to maintain one backup copy of each of your Apple installer discs. If you travel, it is a good idea to take a backup copy of the essential discs with you. Not much help for you now I know, but something to remember for the future.

  • Can i update from Leopard to Snow Leopard without losing picture galleries or music

    Yes, when you update you should lose any data, but make sure you have a Time Machine backup just in case. 

  • In snow leopard, how make files "invisible"?

    in snow leopard, how make files "invisible"?

    You can make files or folders invisible from the Terminal. Enter the following command:
    chflags hidden
    Don't press enter yet. Put a space after the the word hidden and then drag and drop the item you want to hide into the Terminal window. Now press enter. The item will disappear from view.
    You'd better copy that path down though, because if you want to unhide it, you need to know the full path and file or folder name.
    As a test, I did one as:
    chflags hidden /Users/myaccount/Desktop/test.tif
    This of course is a file named test.tif sitting on the desktop of my user account. Upon hitting enter, it disappeared. To get it back, you unhide it:
    chflags nohidden /Users/myaccount/Desktop/test.tif
    The item will reappear. You can see where it would be very important to have that entire path written down. If you forget the name or where it is, you'll be lucky to find it by guessing. It's either that, or you'll have to use the trick to show hidden and system files. Then you'll be able to see the hidden item you're dragging and dropping item into Terminal to unhide it.

  • Is there a way to access notes from iPhone 4 in Snow Leopard without using Mail?

    I want to be able to access the notes from the iPhone 4 notes app on a Macbook Pro, running Snow Leopard, without using Mail.  Is there a way to do this?  Any good 3rd party software that does it without storing the information in the Cloud?

    You could probably use something like PhoneView
    http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/
    but, frankly, I thnk that's more of hassle than just setting up an iCloud or other IMAP account on the iPad.
    Even if Notes syncing is the only feature you use, it's going to be a far more seemless experience.

  • How do I downgrade from Lion to Snow Leopard without losing iWork 09?  I upgraded my MBP from 10.5 (originally 10.4) to 10.6, then again to 10.7.  Should I go back to 10.4, 10.5 or just to 10.6?

    How do I downgrade from Lion to Snow Leopard without losing iWork 09?  I upgraded my MBP from 10.5 (originally 10.4) to 10.6, then again to 10.7.  Should I go back to 10.4, 10.5 or just to 10.6? I don't remember which system included iWork 09 and don't want to lose it. Thanks for any help.

    Thanks for the information!  My sister gave me the MBP for my daughter with Leopard installed.  I purchased Snow Leopard and installed it, then my daughter purchased Lion.  So I do have all the installers.  If iWork wasn't included with any of those, I guess my sister purchased it while running Leopard.  I'll have to contact her.  Thanks again.

  • I have a very old mac and need to upgrade to snow leopard to update my itunes, my disc drive is not working can i download snow leopard without a disc?

    I have an old mac version 10.5.8  I need to update to snow leopard and my disc drive isn't working... Can I download snow leopard without a disc?

    Snow Leopard is only available on disk. Furthermore, even if you had a working disk drive, you may not be able to install Snow Leopard anyway, depending on just how "old" your Mac is. It must have an Intel processor to run Snow Leopard (Macs with Intel processors were first made in 2006), among other requirements.
