Snow Leopard distribution DVD

Hello All,
Can anyone tell me what is Apple's support email address in U.K which handles Mac OS X upgrade distributions?
Have subscribed Snow Leopard Upgarde DVDs, sent receipts needed and paid bill using PayPal. Acknowledgment email has come but nothing else.
How long have you waited your DVDs?
Cheers,
Micce

There is a postal strike in the UK affecting 22 million packages and letters (allegedly) so thats probably why you haven't had it.

  • Attempting Disk repair with Snow Leopard install DVD. Prompted to restart several times

    Hi,
    I'm trying to do a disk repair with my MBP (2010, OS X snow leopard). I tried  to enter Disk Utility with my Snow Leopard install DVD by pressing down "c" during startup but it gives me a grey screen in several languages prompting me to restart again. Restarted and I get the same screen.  Can anyone help me?

    You are getting a (kernel) panic crash booting from the installer dvd?  Hmmm.  That's doesn't sound good.  Try resetting smc and pram.
    If that doesn't fix it try to boot the Apple Hardware Test and check your machine -- assuming that will boot?
    Also look inside if you get that panic crash and see if there are any diagnostic leds lit.
    If this continues you might try disconnecting all unnecessary peripherals (usb, fw, extra drives).

  • Help installing Snow Leopard without DVD drive

    Hi all,
    I've seen this question posted before but the solutions are not working for me. 
    I have a MacBook Pro running 10.4.11.  I bought the 10.6.3 Snow Leopard Install DVD from Apple but my DVD reader just keeps ejecting it, lens must have died.
    My roomate has a Windows 7 laptop, and I see here that I can put my DVD into his DVD player, and remote it over our wireless and install it to my laptop.
    I've run through the instructions but I can't see Remote Disc under the Mac's finder.
    I've made sure to run the following commands in my Mac console too but no luck:
    defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser EnableODiskBrowsing -bool true
    defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser ODSSupported -bool true
    Is it possible to even do a remote install via one Windows 7 Laptop and my MacBook Pro with no optical drive?  Do I have some other kind of options to get this upgrade working? 
    Any and all help will be appreciated!

  • Need help installing Snow Leopard without DVD drive

    Hi all,
    I posted this question under MacBook Pro but didn't get much help.

    I found another article with similar instructions that included some console code.  I've made sure to run the following commands in my Mac console too but no luck:

    That's actally a pretty good and cost effective way to do it.  I see some from Walmart for like $30, and it's possible to refund them if it doesn't work.

  • Windows 7 does not read drivers on my OS Snow Leopard Install dvd

    When I start the DVD and the setup.exe I get 2 options - Remote Install Mac OS X and DVD or CD Sharing, no drivers are being downloaded or appear to be on the DVD.
    Any ideas, please help.

    Ok, after 3 sleepness nights I have found a solution and finally have a working Windows 7 Ultimate. I hope this will be helpful for everyone having similar issues and not have to go through the same nightmare.
    Right away after logging in Windows for the first time insert the original Snow Leopard Install DVD and if Windows does not read it or install any drivers after clicking on setup.exe do the following:
    Right-click on Start » Programs » Accessories » Command Prompt
    Select Run as Administrator
    Type cd /d D:, then press Enter
    Type cd Boot Camp\Drivers\Apple, then press Enter
    Type BootCamp64.msi, then press Enter
    If you do not how to right click before installing the drivers the following:
    Click on Start
    Enter cmd in the search box
    Instead of hitting the Enter key use Ctrl + Shift + Enter and will open a dialog box
    Click Yes at the prompt and you will be running as an administrator.
    If you do not have the original install DVD go the this link and follow the instructions(including the ones from the last comment):

  • HT3910 Restore old Mac using Mac OS X Snow Leopard Install DVD

    When I try to restore my old Mac, which I am preparing to sell, using the Mac OS X Snow Leopard Install DVD (OS X 10.6.8), I hear the optical disc drive spin up and down, then the disc is ejected.  This is the same thing that happens with its original OS X Install DVD, which was OS X 10.4.9.

  • Does "Archive and Install" really exists on the Snow Leopard install DVD  ?

    Well, Mr Magoo really needs your help.
    I have an iMac late 2009 edition and the Snow Leopard DVD installer discs.
    Reading the little baby paper book manual that came with the discs and the iMac it says on page 54 that i can re-install Snow Leopard by choosing "Archive and Install" or "Erase and Install".
    Mr Magoo just can't find that "Archive and Install" choice and have concluded that this is a very bad reprint of a manual from years long ago when it was possible to archive and install or it some joke by Apple.
    Unfortunately my 90 days of phone talk to Apple has expired albeit the two year warranty under apple sometimes care program i purchased is still valid.
    Help/suggestions on how i can get to do an Archive and Install with the Snow Leopard installer DVD that came with this iMac ?

    Dave Sawyer wrote:
    You misunderstand what Carolyn wrote. In Snow Leopard, Apple engineered the installer so that any reinstallation over an existing copy is in essence an "archival" install in the sense that it replaces all the OS files while automatically preserving the applications and user settings, just as the old "archive and install" option did, though no longer with the option to not preserve the user settings. So all installations over an existing OS are in essence "archive and install", so Apple removed the extra, now-redundant option.
    They also removed the "Erase and Install" option. The only way you get a "complete fresh" installation is if you use Disk Utility to erase the drive. Otherwise the 10.6 installer will install a new set of OS files but not remove your apps and user settings.
    If you want to reinstall Mac OS X 10.6 and keep your applications and user settings and data, just do a normal installation over the existing one. If you want to do a completely fresh installation, either starting completely new or restoring user data from a backup, first run Disk Utility from the Utilities menu and erase the drive.
    Well, have you tried an Snow Leopard installation on top of a previously installed Snow Leopard.
    I must really be an idiot in using the snow leopard installer.
    I loaded the optical slot with the Snow Leopard DVD installer and after it opened up on the desk top i double clicked the install icon. That restarted my iMac.
    When I launched the installer after selecting my "Language" and then going thru the customization ( for example I don't need all those foreign languages ) and then selecting the drive to carry out the installation the installation starts.
    Upon completion all my third party applications were zapped and i only had the Apple applications. There was no "previous" system folder as there used to be in previous operating system installers.
    So, honestly, I have no idea how you folks manage to make an Snow Leopard installation over a previously installed Snow Leopard whereby all the third party applications are still there.
    Please tell me the steps i should take to make an "archival" install over top of a previously installed Snow Leopard that retains all third party applications.
    After my install of Snow Leopard I had to re-install all my third party software applications which in my case are mainly midi/audio programs.

  • Lost Snow Leopard Install DVD

    Hi,
    Hope this is the right topic for this question.
    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro 13 inch and I have upgraded the hard drive.
    Only when I wanted to install OS I couldn't find my install DVD.
    I tried installing from a friend's MacBook Air install media. but It dosen't work.
    Can anyone tell me what can I do here to get at least new install media for my macBook Pro?
    Thanks

    You probably need to get replacement discs rather than a retail DVD in any event. If your "recently purchased" MBP is the "mid-2010" model, then the current retail OS X 10.6.3 Snow Leopard Install DVD probably won't work.
    See
    [Don't install a version of Mac OS X earlier than what came with your Mac|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2186]
    The "build" of the OS version on a retail installer disc can't be older than the build of the OS version that shipped with the computer. The most recent Snow Leopard Retail DVD is OS X 10.6.3, Build 10D575. According to [this page|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1159?viewlocale=en_US], the earliest OS version that shipped with the mid-2010 model MBPs was OS X 10.6.3, Build 10D2125, which is a later build than the current retail OS X 10.6.3 version.

  • Booting from a Snow Leopard Retail dvd

    I have a 2009 iMac that came with Leopard installed.  I later purchase the retail Snow Leopard disc with I believe 10.6.3. 
    I want to reformat my iMac HD and reinstall a fresh copy of Snow Leopard so I can move my Mac Pro data over to it, but it doesn't load the Snow Leopard disc when I reboot and hold the Option key.
    I've upgraded to 10.6.8 and was wondering if that was the problem.  I have used the original Leopard Install discs to check the drive and corrected a few errors with one pass.  Should the iMac be able to boot from the SL disc?  Not being able to read the dvd, I can't even attempt a .dmg image to mount, even if I knew how.  I've read numerous posts with other users not being able to boot from the SL retail disc.
    Would I have the same issues if I purchase a new Snow Leopard Install dvd?

    Unlike Windows, the DVD or CD versions of the Mac OS (Snow Leopard or earlier) have no serial number, or even keep track of how many times you've installed it. It's all on the honor system of following the license you have, which as mende1 noted, is either a single computer license, or five in one household (not shared with friends or relatives).
    Lion and Mountain Lion are a bit different. Macs that came with either OS have a machine specific version (for the necessary hardware drivers) and cannot be shared, other than with a 100% identical Mac. The App Store versions are intended for Macs that were released before the respective OS's, and contain only the hardware drivers for the Mac models they are listed to support.

  • Reinstalling using the Snow Leopard Upgrade DVD?

    This may be a stupid question, but I need to reinstall my Mac, however I only have the Snow Leopard Upgrade DVD that was shipped to me since I the leopard dvd is stuffed somewhere in the back cupboard that I can't find for love nor money.
    Can I erase the hard drive and perform a clean installation from the Snow Leopard Upgrade DVD? I've a feeling that I can't but just wanted to confirm.
    Thanks!

    Hi thelongmile;
    If it is the upgrade DVD then you can't.

  • Need help in installing Snow Leopard without DVD drive

    Hi,
    I have a White Macbook 2008 model with 2.1 ghz processor and 1 GB Ram. The dvd rom is not working in my machine. It spits out the dvd's 99 out of 100 times.
    I need to upgrade from 10.5.8 to 10.6. Apple has sent me a single disk to install snow leopard.
    I am not willing to invest in new dvd drive either internal or external. Needed help on ways to install snow leopard please apart from using the dvd option.
    I do have a Firewire 400 cable but i do not know anybody anymore who has a mac machine with 400 port.
    Hence the cable is also useless and i cannot connect to anyother macbook and do the install using their drive.
    Please suggest.
    Regards,
    Rahul

    There are no direct options. Find a friend with a Mac that has a working optical drive. Buy an 8GB USB flash drive. Partition and format it for the Mac then clone the mounted DVD to the flash drive. Take it back to your computer and boot from the flash drive.
    Boot Using OPTION key:
      1. Restart the computer.
      2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
          "OPTION" key.
      3. Release the key when the boot manager appears.
      4. Select the disk icon for the flash drive.
      5. Click on the arrow button below the icon.

  • Tiger to snow leopard with dvd sharing

    i have a macbook running os 10.4.11 and i need snow leopard to sync my iphone 4. now i have bought snow leopard but my superdrive is broken. I have my friends macbook pro here running snow leopard but i cant figure out how to share his dvd drive with mine so i can update my software. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks all

    Hi cballa82, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    I don't think that is going to work, at least I never got it to work.
    If they both don't have Firewire, which would make it easy with his in FireWire target disk mode...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
    And yours booted with the option key, then I think your best bet is to pull your HD & put it in his for the install, fairly easy with MBs...
    http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/
    Find the MBs there & click on the Hard Drive link below it/then to see how.
