Snow Leapord Support

Hello all,
As most folks know, we are hot on the heels of major new OS releases from both Microsoft and Apple. In these forums, some has been written about Windows 7 and various issues that have appeared and even some solutions for those various issues, but I have seen nothing thus far about Snow Leapord.
I have seen information stating that there will be a more functional version of Network Magic available for Mac users eventually, but is there any sort os time frame available? Is it expected that the current add on version of NM for the Mac will be supported with Snow Leapord?
If anyone can share any information on this topic, that would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance...

Hi all, It does appear that there are some issues with NM for Mac and Mac OS X Snow Leopard. At this time, I recommend holding off on upgrading to 10.6 if you have NM for Mac and have not upgraded yet. I'll post if I hear anything new relating to this that I am able to post on.
Current Status: The official word that I have is that Linksys/Cisco is currently working on the issues but don't have a time frame as to when an update will be available. http://support.purenetworks.com/cgi-bin/pure.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=198

My Cisco Network Magic Configuration:
Router: D-Link WBR-2310 A1 FW:1.04, connected to Comcast High Speed Internet
Desktop, iMac: NM is on the Windows Partition, using Boot camp to access Windows, Windows 7 Pro 32-bit RTM, Broadcom Wireless N Card, McAfee Personal Firewall 2009,
Mac Partition of the iMac is using Mac OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard
Laptop: Windows XP Pro SP3, Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, McAfee Personal Firewall 2008
Please note that though I am a beta tester for Network Magic, I am not a employee of Linksys/Cisco and am volunteering my time here to help other NM users.

What do I need to go from OS 10.4.11 to lion or even snow leapord with my imac

I have not used my iMac in almost 2 years and have OS 10.4.11 installed on it. What do I need to upgrade to the latest OS? Can any of this be done off line or do I need to get it onlne first. Should I go to just snow leapord or go to lion and is there a benefit of going to lion?

The lastest Mac OS X is Lion v10.7.2. You would have to upgrade to Snow Leopard v10.6 in order to do this.
First, make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements.
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Apple - OS X Lion - Technical specifications
"10.4.4 Tiger Intel can go straight to Snow Leopard without getting Leopard"
Please read before upgrading your system > Lion upgrade questions: Apple Support Communities
The benefits of Lion >>> Apple - OS X Lion - The world’s most advanced OS.

I need to update to the latest version of Snow Leapord-currently running v10.6. Because of where we live the slow download speed for such a large file has kept me from downloading the update. What can I do short of hooking up computer elsewhere?

Do you ever visit a friend or realtive with a Mac who has faster internet? Maybe the local library has Macs on a fast line. If so, get a USB thumb drive and put this link on it from your computer:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Then put this link on the drive:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1429
When you are at some place that has a Mac with a decent download speed. insert the thumb drive in that Mac and click on the first link ("DL1399") and direct the download to your thumb drive. Now do the same this with the second link.
The installer files will now be on the thumb drive and, when you get home, drag them from the thumb drive to your desktop. Install the Combo update first.

I would like to leave my iMac on Snow Leapord to use Power PC software, and run Mountain Lion on my Macbook pro. I am getting an iPhone 5. Is there a way to use mail on all of them?

I would like to leave my iMac on Snow Leapord to use Power PC software, and run Mountain Lion on my Macbook pro. I am getting an iPhone 5. Is there a way to use mail on all of them with the same accounts?

Any IMAP e-mail account can be accessed from all devices just fine. You don't need to upgrade from Snow Leopard to be able to access an IMAP e-mail account. However, Snow Leopard won't have built-in support for iCloud. As mende1 points out, you can still read your iCloud e-mail from Snow Leopard, but you have to set it up manually. You won't be able to do things like sync your iCloud calendar or addresses with iCal or Address Book on the iMac, though.

Macbook slow and horrible battery, downgrade to snow leapord?

So I have a late 2008 13" macbook currently running Mavericks (2.4 core 2 due/8gb ram). Its performance is getting dated, and battery life is awful even on new battery (1.5-2 hours). My usage is not heavy, mostly web browsing/email and sometimes some rare photo editing and I'd like to stretch this mac out another year.
To do this, one thing that is certain is an SSD upgrade. Now my question is though, which route should I go after that:
Option 1: Clean install mavericks/yosemite and hope the SSD upgrade is sufficient with the old cpu/new software
or
Option 2: Clean install of Snow leapord even though support has ceased. If i go this route, my 8gb ram will not be compatible correct? I think 6gb was the max (unless the firmware update to allow 8gb can still be used in snow leapord?)
Either way, I liked snow leapord the best, and dont need all the new IOS integration since i'm an android user anyway. I'd just like to hear the communities thoughts.
Has anyone done this downgrade to SL from mavericks, is it worth it?
Whats the best way to do this with the new SSD?
Would snow leopard help my battery life?
I'm not sure i have the original leopard disk, but i do have my snow leopard upgrade disc to use for clean install if that would work?
Any comments are appreciated, Thanks.

Google Talk and iChat Snow Leapord

I am trying to find out if any other people can not longer video chat with a Jabber account using gmail account to anyone else that uses Google Talk. This set up worked fine before the upgrade to Snow Leapord and iChat 5.0
I have contacted Apple support and they will not offer support for setting up Google Talk.
I also have a Mobile Me account and still can not seem to video chat using a specific Apple test account.
So I looking for any help with that does use iChat and Google Talk

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
In iChat > Preferences > Video section Set the Bandwidth Limit drop down to 500kbps
This may help with the Audio issue with iChat Buddies.
Jabber Buddies not using iChat may not even be able to Video as very few Jabber Servers do this. (And they are working on their own Protocols called Jingle)
GoogleTalk is a Jabber server but have chosen their own method to do Video (not the same Codecs as iChat)
The Web Mail page chat option uses Flash. This seems to be compatible with the PC based Googletalk App (but not with iChat)
These maybe more readily found solutions
Alternatives to iChat but Video chatting In a Web Browser
MeBeam. An option to use a Web site that create Private room for Video Chatting. Uses Flash to access your Camera and Mic.
iVideoChat Similar setup but a somewhat corporate type look to the site. Has Public rooms as well. Again uses Flash.
Googlemail/GoogeTalk now do a Version in a Web Browser
Tokbox A Site that can link your existing Buddy Lists that USes Flash to Video chat in a Browser.

I cannot print after updating my MacBook Pro from OSX Tiger 10.4 to OSX Snow Leapord 10.6. Can anyone help me?

Try re-adding your printer in System Preferences/Print & Fax. Not sure what type of printer you have, but if it was old and relying on an Appletalk connection, Snow Leopard dropped that support.

How do I get the coupon printer to work with snow leapord

I used to be able to print coupons with my computer, but ever since I updated to snow leapord, I can't print coupons even when I download the coupon manager. Does anyone know how to get this to work again?

How do you mean "work with" your PC? (I'm assuming you mean "PC" as shorthand for "Windows PC".)
Do you want to attach the PC with an existing AirPort Express network? In that case, no special action is needed just because the network base station is an AirPort express.
Do you want to use the PC to configure a new AirPort Express (or reconfigure an old one)? In that case, you need to download the Windows version of AirPort Utility.

Do you want to do something else? If so, please explain what.

Do you have to have a disk to download snow leapord

I have a macbook pro OS X 10.5.8 and I am unable to download itunes or update anything. Do I need a disk to download snow leapord or can I do it right from my computer?

Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

Cant use CCC to clone Snow Leapord mac to Mountain Lion mac

hello all,
I just bought a MacBook Pro (Mid 2012 not retina), and it came with Lion OSX. I recently installed Mountain Lion OS and it appears to be working welll except I am having trouble using a cloned external drive. I cloned my 2007 MacBook (Snow Leapord), using CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner), onto a Seagate 320GB eternal USB Hard Drive. When I plug the drive into my new MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion, and go to system Preferences, startup disc, select the coned drive, and click restart, the computer shuts down and appears to be starting to restart, but it just stays on the white screen before the apple symbol shows up and the apple symbol never even pops up, it just stays white forever without booting up. Now, I tried using the drive as a startup disc for my dad's 2008 MacBook Pro with Leapord and it worked like a charm and also tried it on my sister's MacBook Pro (Lion) and it worked fine there too. Is there something about mountain lion that could be causing this problem? I even tried using Target Disc from my old mac (that i cloned) to my new one and it wasnt working either. If anyone has any ideas, please help! Are there any particular tricks to using CCC for Mountain Lion? Thanks for the help!!!

Thanks that makes sense, however, my sisters Macbook pro worked with it and hers is a 2011 and came with Lion, so I'm not sure what to make of that.
Right the Early 2011 model MBPs came originally with Snow Leopard installed and Apple updated SL to 10.6.8 to work correctly with the newer hardware in the Early 2011 models. Then in June Lion came out and then all shipping MBPs came with Lion Pre-Installed but they would still run SL if you had the 10.6.8 version of SL. Since the Late 2011 models were basically the exact same computer, just upgraded CPU and some other minor changes, as the early 2011 models even though the late 2011 models came with Lion Pre-Installed SL would work on those if you had the 10.6.7 or .8 version of SL.
Now with the newest Mid 2012 models all of the Base hardware was changed to the most current versions available, New hardware. Even Lion that worked on the late 2011 models will NOT boot on the Mid 2012 models.
The 2011 version/build of Lion does not have the correct driver package to work on the new hardware.
Apple put together a Special build of Lion to work on those newest system with an updated driver package for the newer hardware.

How to sync new Macbook Pro with 2011 iMAC on Snow Leapord

Hello,
This is my first post so hello!
My small business has an office iMAC and a Macbook Air both running 10.6.8. The two aren't synced in any way other than that the Air can access files from the iMAC's hard drive via the network. I have 2 email accounts on the iMAC's mail and just one of them set up on the Air.
I've just bought a new 15" Macbook Pro running Lion.
I'd like to be able to sync some folders (but definitely not all), bookmarks, iTunes and mail accounts between the iMAC and the new Macbook Pro. Ideally I'd like to be able to access the shared/synced folders when I don't have an internet connection
What's the best method?
Snow Leapord doesn't have iCloud does it? If not, why the **** not?
Is it just easiest to set up the email accounts on the new MBP as normal and then use dropbox for the folders I want to share? Can I access the with no internet connection?
One other question, can i link a gmail account to my Apple mail?
Thanks for any help.
Best wishes
Dave.

No. It was a feature that was introduced with the release of 10.7.2. I do not know why it was not introduced on earlier versions. Probably the same reasons why some features will be introduced in later versions of OS X that will not be found on older versions.

I have an older Mac Pro (2006). I want to install Boot Camp and Windows. I have installrg a purchased Snow Leapord on the machine. To install Windows, am I limited to Windows 7? And where are the Windows 7/Boot Camp Drivers? On the OS disk? Download? Tha

I have an older Mac Pro (2006). I want to install Boot Camp and Windows. I have installed a boxed Snow Leapord on the machine. And it says the download of the Boot camp drivers cannot continue because they are not available. But at that point I have not inserted a windows disk, so how does it know i have XP?
So it appears I am limited to Windows 7? And where are the Windows 7/Boot Camp Drivers? On the OS disk?
Finally, since I have necer considered Windows 7 before, I assume there are no compatability issues with mainstream applications that were running in XP?
Thank you.

You're welcome
Just remember to reformat the partition (bootcamp partition) to NTFS with the windows installer, ensure to pick the correct partition.

Updated to snow Leapord and now my time capsule is slow

Recently updated Mac mini to snow Leapord and since then my wireless network is 2mb/s or slower on my 1TB time capsule. Can anyone help?

Hello. I don't know what part of the world you're in but if you're in North America TVs typically operate on the NTSC format and if you're in another part of the world PAL is used. If you have an option in System Preferences, make sure the appropriate choice is selected.

From tiger to snow leapord?

HI, a friend found an old macbook and gave it to me to use. I've never had an apple product before, so I may not know all the terminology. It's a tiger 10.4.11 with 1.83 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Is there any way to upgrade it to a snow leapord, or something that works? I tried installing what I found on the internet, but it says I need a 10.5 before I can install the leapord. I can't find a 10.5 to download online. Can someone help me with this? Thanks Mo

The fact that it is a 1.83 ghz Core 2 duo indicates that it is either an early 2006 or late 2006 model. The latest version of OSX that can run on early 2006 machines is Snow Leopard and the latest on the late 2006 is Lion, so whichever you have, you can run Snow Leopard.
When you say "I tried installing what I found on the internet" - was this a genuine version of Snow Leopard?
I don't think Snow Leopard is available as a download (well, not a legal copy anyway) but you can get the disk from Apple still. See this link (UK in this case but available elsewhere too):
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Also note the questions and answers from the Community, where someone asks if it can be installed over 10.4.11 - the answer is yes, if your MacBook has an Intel processor (and explains how to check for this). Also explains that Snow leopard is NOT available as a download, only as disks to buy.

Does Snow Leopard support AirPlay and Apple TV?

Does Snow Leopard support AirPlay or Apple TV? I want to use my iMac superdrive to stream a DVD movie to my TV. ('07 iMac OS-X 10.6.8)

About AirPlay and Airplay Mirroring
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). For non-qualifying Macs you can try using Air Parrot.
