Running "Classic Application" in Mac OS X v10.6.2 Snow Leopard

Hello, I'm trying to run a Classic Application on Mac OS X v10.6.2 Snow Leopard... goes by the name of "Titanic Adventure Out of Time." When I go to install it I get the message "You can't open the application Titanic because the Classic environment is no longer supported." I'm wondering how I will be able to get this to work on my MacBook. I've read a few sites which talk of some sort of emulator, or mounting it with Roxio Toast? Is this correct?

Believe it or not you may have an easier time running that program in Windows on your Mac! That game was made for Windows, and there is better old Windows support for Intel Macs than there is Mac OS 9 support. See my FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#WINTEL
And see http://www.macmaps.com/macgamepages.html
to see if there are any patches to make it Mac OS X Intel compatible.

Is it possible to get a virus on the Mac OS X v10.6.4 Snow Leopard?

Hi, I was just wondering if it is possible to get viruses on the new system and I was also wondering if someone could give me some help/suggestions on what I should do about a problem I had with my iMac today. When I turned on my computer from sleep today a page popped up onto my iMac computer screen saying I had trojans and viruses on my computer. It also stated I needed to download software in order to fix the problem, luckily while I was in the middle of downloading this software I noticed that the page was not from apple but it was from the internet.. thankfully I cancelled the download just on time and none of the software downloaded... I am new to Mac and I'm now really paranoid that there is viruses on my computer.. should I be worried? What should I do? If anyone has any suggestions/advice/ or help to give to me on iMac computer's -viruses-protecting them etc..I would really appreciate it
Thanks,
kateos9

These 'warnings' are usually pop-unders from a web page you've visited (i.e. they stay behind the page you're viewing so you don't see them until later).
They claim to have scanned your computer and found viruses: this is complete rubbish and a scam - aimed really at Windows users (the details given are often applicable only to windows).
You don't have any viruses: there are no Mac viruses in the wild. There are trojans and malware, but in all cases you have to actually install them (usually they try to make you think you are installing something else) and you would have had to give your admin password to do so.
You were right to stop the download. Never ever download or click any links on anything of this nature. Unless you have specific anti-virus software installed (which would identify itself in any warning) no warning of this nature can be genuine: it's an attempt to get you to install malware, some of which can be very nasty.

Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.... ?

My model is 8,1. memory 6MB / Purchased 8/2008. / Mac OS X v10.6.8 Snow Leopard.
Would replacing the current installed internal HD with a more powerful version improve performance and speed in this older model ? I have a 2TB external drive on order to back up my stuff before I download the new Yosemite.
Thanks.

The "speed" of your Mac is tied to the speed of your iMac's CPU and RAM amount and not, necessarily the storage size of a hard drive.
Your Mac already comes withe the desktop standard 7200 RPM hard drive.
The only way a hard drive becomes "faster" is to increase its RPM speed. There are 10,000 RPM speed hard drives, I just do not know if you can get this I an internal drive.
They make external 10,000 RPM external hard drives, but to get the most from the drive, you would need to find one in a enclosure that uses, at least a FIreWire 800 connection to take advantage of such speed. 10,000 RPM are expensive, too!
You could see if you can replace your current internal hard drive with an SSD (Solid State "flash-style drive") that would be faster, but they are more expensive per GB than conventional hard drives.
SSD's, also, come in external enclosure versions, as well, but, again, you would need to have the drive in an enclosure that uses, at least, a FireWire 800 connection to take advantage of its speed.

How to run ipad applications in mac

how to run ipad applications in mac i ahve downloaded the application in macbook air . But i do not know how to run?

It can't be done. iPads use iOS as the operating system. Macs use OS X as the operating system. iOS apps don't run on Macs and OS X apps don't run on iPads.
That's why if there is an app that has been developed for both platforms, you have to buy them separately; iOS apps from the iTunes App Store and Mac apps from the Mac App Store.

HELP! Can't run Keynote, Numbers and Pages in Mac OS X 10.6.6 Snow Leopard

I just installed iWork 09, but I can't run every program, the message shows:
Keynote cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure Keynote works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X.
I tried restarting the Mac and install it again, same message. I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.6 Snow Leopard.
Please help

I had the very same problem, after upgrading from 10.6.5 to 10.6.6
Nobody could tell me exactly what happened. The only way I could make them work again was formatting the HD and reinstalling Mac OS X 10.6, install the 10.6.6 combo upgrade, and then install iWork 09 again. That should work.
If you are using Time Machine as backup, do not, and I mean, DO NOT reinstall the user from the backup, because it will install the very same OS x 10.6.6 you previously had. Install OS X as I mentioned above, and then use Migration Assistant to recover your files. For the programs, install them again from the installations disks. I know it is a lot of work, but it won't work in any other way, at least it did not for me.

Re: New Garage Band - I have Mac OS X 10.6.8, Snow Leopard, and Garage Band 11. If I download/install the new GB, will I lose GB 11? And will it run on Snow Leopard?

Re: New Garage Band - I have Mac OS X 10.6.8, Snow Leopard, and Garage Band 11. If I download/install the new GB, will I lose GB 11? And will it run on Snow Leopard?

then had to find out (same as with this issue) that I presently have other software that will not run on Maverics.
You could create a clone of your drive with all your current software, so you could continue to work with your Snowleopard software by booting from the clone, and upgrade your main system to Mavericks, if your computer supports Mavericks. This way, you could have both, if the new features of Mavericks are interesting to you - e.g-, iCloud syncing of multiple Macs, new sharing features, and for GarageBand automatic drummers and arpeggiators.

Update Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard?

I have an older Mac Book Pro with Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard?) and 2.8 Ghz Intel Core 2 duo and 8GB ram - should I update the OS, and if so, what new OS should I update to?

Whether you upgrade or not depends on whether Snow Leopard fits all your needs or if you need features only available in subsequent upgrades. If you use older PPC-only applications they will not run in Lion or later. Other applications you use may require updating to work with a newer OS. So you need to decide if upgrading is necessary. Should you do so your options are:
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?

I am new to mac's and have upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion but......

I am new to mac's and have upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion but not all my application will work. Is it save to reinstall using original snow leopard dvd and does it wipe all my other application like apature? I am in a panic over this, any help!!
I came across this online and i want to know is it safe to do this:
Backup your User folders to an external drive. This should preserve your documents, photos, music, etc. If you store those things in locations not in the User folder, make sure to copy those over too.
Insert the Snow Leopard disc. Restart your Mac and hold down C to boot to your DVD drive.
Go to Utilities in the menu bar once the installer pops up and select “Disk Utility.”
Find the drive in the sidebar where Lion is installed, select it and navigate to the Partition tab.
Click on the drop down menu under Partition Layout and select “1 Partition.” Hit Apply.
Now navigate to the Erase tab and make sure “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)” is selected, then hit Erase to delete all data on the drive.
Quit Disk Utility to get back to the Snow Leopard installer and proceed with the install.
Restore your User folder and documents from your backup.
Run Software Update to get everything current, install your apps from your original install media and update those as well.
if any one can help me that would be great, thanks Mike

Before you do that why not do this first:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. 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 main menu.
To boot from the Recovery HD restart the computer. After the chime hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
If this doesn't help, then you can proceed to reinstall Snow Leopard as follows:
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. I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
This will erase the drive so be sure to backup your files before doing this.

My Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. how to why install OS X Mountain Lion ?

my Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. how to why install OS X Mountain Lion ?

How?
Upgrading to Mountain Lion - http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade
Mac OS X: System requirements for Mountain Lion (10.8) - http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html
Lion and Mountain Lion application compatibility - http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Kappy 08/2012 post on upgrading to Snow Leopard, then Lion or Mountain Lion - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19401628 - including how to get Snow Leopard and Lion since Apple removed them from the online store.
MacBook upgrade possibilities - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19577869 - "The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion."
Why? Good question. I am a strong believer in not upgrading just because something new comes out, especially if you are running older equipment. I would say unless you see a need for it, just stick with Snow Leopard until something comes along that absolutely requires Mountain Lion.

Can I install Tiger on Mac OS X 10.6.2 Snow Leopard?

I am using Mac mini and my OS version MAC OS X 10.6.2 Snow leopard and it was as default with my Mac mini,
Can I install Tiger 10.4 on my current Mac mini in different location as dual boot?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
No Mac can install an older Mac operating system than shipped with it.
The only minor exception is Macs which shipped with Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X, but those ones only could run the Mac OS 9 that came with it and newer one, and Mac OS X that came with it and newer one up to the limitations of the hardware.
Also no Mac can install an operating system disc from a different Mac that is different either in model or vintage.
If you are missing compatibility with your new Mac Mini for a specific application, please check

Can Mac mini October 2012 boot from Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)?

It is needed to run applications that require Rosetta (Eudora e-mail, Palm Desktop PDA-PIM, Canvas drawing from ACDsee, etc). Thanks

Can the Mac mini October 2012 boot from Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)?
No. Your best option by far is to find updates or replacements for that long-obsolete software. In the long run, you'll have no other choice. As a last resort, you could do this:
Installing Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) into Parallels
The instructions are slightly out of date. That's not a recommendation and I haven't tried it myself.

Do I need to install the drivers on my old Mac Pro disc or from my Snow Leopard disc?

Hi,
I've got a 2008 Mac Pro (dual quad @ 3GHz) w/ 24GB RAM and I've got Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit installed. What do I need to install?
On my newer 2009 iMac (which included Mac OS X 10.6) I just inserted that disc specific to the iMac and installed the drivers, but the disc for my Mac Pro is old (10.5.2) do I need to install the drivers on it or not? Can I just insert my Snow Leopard 10.6 disc to install Boot Camp etc., or won't that include drivers for the Mac Pro? The Mac Pro is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply,
I have both the silver discs specific to my iMac and Mac Pro models that you receive with your Mac, and a general copy of Snow Leopard that you buy from the store.
I used the silver disc that is specific for my iMac to install the drivers, and Boot Camp 3.0 on my iMac. But with the Mac Pro, the software is older and only has Boot Camp 2.0, thus I'm wondering if I can simply use the software on the general copy of Snow Leopard I own, or does the silver disc contain specific drivers for my Mac Pro that I need?
I'm under perhaps the wrong impression that the silver discs that you get with your Mac purchase contain drivers for your specific Mac model which you can't get from the general Snow Leopard disc.
Thanks.

ITunes 11.1.1 Update Error - Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard

Hello iTunes Community!
I've been reading about the non-descript error message that Windows users are getting when attempting to update to iTunes 11.1.1. It appears to affect Mac OS X as well in that I too am getting the same error. I'm running a 20" aluminum iMac with Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. What's interesting though is that when I checked iTunes to make sure it still functioned correctly and took a look at "About iTunes" it shows version 11.1.1 (11). So it appears that the update actually occured, but somehow did not finish-up quite right??? Is there any cause to be concerned, or do I just keep it the way it is? I ran the update twice and it still shows-up as an available update in Software Update.
I'm beginning to suspect that there may be a problem with the update.
Regards,
Doug

Hi folks...
Based upon a recommendation from a friend who is an authorized Apple service provider, I downloaded the iTunes installer directly from the Apple/iTunes website and ran the install. I worked perfectly and iTunes is working normally... I think.
FYI, one problem I encountered with the Software Update version of the installation is that iTunes didn't "see" my iPhone 4S. The new installation resolved that issue.
I hope this helps anyone else out there that is experiencing the same problem.
