It might have to do with the way Safari works on the Internet and the rash of attacks occuring

I also booted up Safai today which I hardly use and it was incredibly slow as well.
I don't know if it's Safari or me not using it for such a long time.
If the above fixes don't work, all I can suggest is to use Firefox or whatever until this attack thing blows over and see after that.

    Hi..
    here can I get a version of Safari 5.1 that is compatible with Snow Leopard 10.6.3?
    Not possible. You need to update to v10.6.8
    Click your Apple menu > Software Update
    Or update using the this download > Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    Then restart your Mac.

  • I did a factory reset on my late 2008 MacBook from a Snow Leopard disc. It installed fine, but as soon as I began to use the computer (safari) it froze. Couldn't even force quit. So I held down the power button to turn it off, and now it won't start up.

    I did a factory reset on my late 2008 MacBook from a Snow Leopard disc. It installed fine, but as soon as I began to use the computer (safari) it froze. Couldn't even force quit. So I held down the power button to turn it off, and now it won't start up. It goes to the grey Apple screen and just sits there loud as can be. Help! Please keep in mind I've not done anything like this before and am going to need a little hand-holding. Thanks in advance.

    Hi. Don't worry it's nothing serious. Insert the Instal Disc (Snow Leopard) and press the C button while turning on the computer. Once you see the desktop, go to Utility and choose Disk Utility. Select the Macintosh Partition on the left window pane and then click on Repair Disk and Repair Disk Permissions on the bottom right corner. Wait for both processes to finish. Click on the Apple icon (top left corner) and choose quit. Your computer should restart. See if it reboots normally. If not you can always reinstall the OS following the same steps. Good luck!

  • Scripts broken under Snow Leopard?

    I wrote a script using AppleScript Editor. After several tests, running it manually from within AppleScript Editor, it seems to work just fine and does what I want it to. So, I saved a copy of the script as "run only". Supposedly, I should now be able to double-click the run-only script in order to run it without opening the editor. But, when I double-click the file, I get two pop-up windows. The first says: "Unable to read the file because the script is not editable (it was saved as run-only)", the second says "The document 'myscript' could not be opened."
    Are scripts broken under Snow Leopard?

    sauljaffe wrote:
    That's absurd. What purpose does the "run-only" option have then?
    that's needed when people publish applications they created and don't want others to see source code. this is done to all commercial software to protect against software piracy. you can do it to your own home made programs too if you want using that button.
    If you can't run it, and can't open it with the editor, then you have a file on your system you can only do one thing with: move it to the trash.
    There must be a way to save scripts so they can be run without opening the editor first.
    of course there is. you save the script as an application. then to run it you double-click on it.
    If "run-only" isn't it, then what is it?

  • I need to upgrade my Macbook Pro from 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard. Will I lose any files on my drive if I do that?

    I have a Macbook Pro running 10.4.11. I am trying to upgrade from that to Snow Leopard then to 10.7.5. I know that I have to do it in steps. My question ins this. I have a Snow Leopard disk that came with my Imac that I can use to upgrade my laptop. When I go through the process, it says something about using Timeline to restore. Am I going to lose all of my files? All I need is for the OS to be updated. Will it be safe to go through with it or will I lose all of my files on the drive. Any answers to this question are much appreciated.

    You can't use the Mac OS X disc that came with another computer to upgrade another Mac because it's not supported. Buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    You shouldn't lose data, but you must make a backup before

  • Can I install snow leopard twice on the same computer but with different hard drives, using the individual license?

    I want to install snow leopard in my macbook (late 2006), but Im going to change my hard drive in two months. So i dont know if I have to wait for my new hard drive or not.

    You're not breaching the licence (if I read your question correctly) as the OS will only be residing on one computer at once. Re-installing after changing the HD is a normal procedure.
    Although the easiest way to do that is to put the new HD in an external enclosure, format it for Mac and clone the existing drive to it using the Restore function in Disk Utility or one of the backup cloning applications like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper.
    Then swap the drives and you're up and running instantly.

  • TS2998 After upgrading to Snow Leopard, Mail will not let me archive any mail. All archived messages re-appear in my inbox (I have tried archiving and placing in the trash bin).

    After upgrading to Snow Leopard, Mail will not let me archive any mail. All archived messages re-appear in my inbox (I have tried archiving and placing in the trash bin). How do i regain control of my inbox?

    The main differences that can cause a problem are scripting additions (64-bit vs 32-bit and security reasons) and the usage of dates (it is not as forgiving). AppleScript itself is basically the same, so if empty paragraphs are what caused your problems the update would have just been a coincidence.

  • I have a macbook purchased in 2009. I just purchased a new ipod and am in a loop of updates that seems to have no end.  Do I need snow leopard? Will that then let me use the latest itune update?

    You need to buy Snow Leopard from the online Apple Store. You don't need Mountain Lion.

  • Going from Tiger OS to Snow Leopard OS - Will it work?

    If this has been previously discussed I apologize.  RIght now I'm running Tiger & want to bypass Leopard (too expensive) & go directly to Snow Leopard.  Will I be able to do this?  I just want to make sure before I order the software from Apple.
    Thanks in advance!

    Short answer ... yes, very doable
    SL needs Intel processor, 1 GB memory minimum (some would argue 2 GB is a better fit, if possible).
    Make a very good backup (preferably a clone) of your current drive before yo upgrade in case the unthinkable happens.
    Some would say that is too big a jump for upgrade and you just use the full-install SL disk (Apple Store Online $29) for a "new install", and use Migration assistant to pull certain items from the clone.

  • I installed Snow Leopard when it first came out but now my mac says it has os x 10.5.x.  Where did snow leopard go?

    I installed Snow Leopard when it first came out but now my mac says it has os x 10.5.x.  Where did snow leopard go?

    Hi, after a little more looking, I think your response might lead me to a solution.  It looks like the Snow Leopard install package is on my MacBook Pro hard drive but apparently something isn't right because I'm still running 10.5.  I found something called 10.6 Install Package or something like that and clicked on it.  It asked me where I wanted to install it and I said on the MacBook Pro hard drive in a new folder called Snow Leopard.  It told me the installation was successful.  I then restarted the computer but it is still using 10.5.  Any suggestions on what to do now?

  • HT6065 I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks OS X, and lost all of my "on my mac" mail boxes.  How do I restore them?

    I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks OS X, and lost all of my "on my mac" mail boxes.  How do I restore them?

    The answer was more complicated.  I had to have an Apple Care tech help me onscreen.  Had to go to Time Machine to restore (which I had tried, but couldn't find the right files to import.  The Mail icon was barred).  They helped me find them.  It was very complicated, with many steps involved.  I never could have figured it out on my own.  Even the tech was not sure how, or if it would work. And it took about 1/2 hour for the stuff to download. But, the problem was solved eventually
    .  Thanks again for your help!
