Snow Leopard - english version

I live in Sweden and I want to buy english version of upgrade to Snow Leopard. But when I try to go to the Apple Store, it offers me only swedish version (it is not mentioned until I see application and there is upgrade-swe). Do I need to go direct to american site and pay in USdollars to buy english version of update?

The website store is always in the native language of the country the store is in. The OS will allow you to select your language at the beginning of setup so you'll be able to use English instead .

  • Can you format your hard-drive while upgrading from Leopard do Snow Leopard (upgrade version)?

    Yes, the 10.6.3 white retail disk can upgrade 10.5 to 10.6 via the installer, but you can also hold c  or option key down while booting from the disk and use Disk Utility to Erase and then install 10.6 fresh.
    Naturally all programs and user file will be removed, so you need to backup files first and take stock of your programs that will have to be reinstalled again from original sources.
    To get the white 10.6.3 disk, call Apple via the phone, it's not sold online anymore, or search Amazon.com or amc related websites for the disk.

    However if you choose to upgrade over 10.5, keeping your programs and files (backup files regardless) intact and it proceeds just fine, but want to improve the performance, you can use this method

    If your upgrading from 10.5 to get to 10.7 or 10.8, I don't advise it. Software Update to 10.6.8 max and stay there, your machine is too old.

  • In need of a Snow Leopard compatible version of Aperture via AppStore

    Hi there!!
    A few months ago I bought Aperture 3 via AppStore using Snow Leopard.
    Last week I formatted my iMac and installed everything again.
    The process was smooth as I imagined, except for the fact that I wasn't able to download Aperture from the AppStore again as the current version doesn't seem to be compatible with my operating system...
    ...how can I download and use an older version of Aperture compatible with Snow Leopard?
    I read somewhere that if I download the correct version from the website I won't be able to use it as I bought it via AppStore, while the downloadable version seems to need a code of some kind that is only given while buying the program throught the website (and NOT the AppStore...)!!
    ...H E L P  M E please!! =(
    Thanks for your support!! =)

    How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
    A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
    Boot from your current OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then 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. Now restart normally. 
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) 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.
    B. Make a Bootable Backup 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.
    C. Important: Please read before installing:
    If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
    You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
    The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update.  While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
    D. To upgrade:
    Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
    Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
    Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
    Restart the computer.
    Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
    Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
    Wait for installer to finish loading.
    E. If updating:
    Download and install update(s) 
    Use Software Update, or
    Download standalone updater(s).

  • Snow Leopard (disk version), online update necessary?

    I installed the disk version of Snow Leopard on my 2007 Mac Mini (Intel processors); do I need to update it online, or does it come packaged with all relevant updates?

    It does not come with all updates since that version. Use Software Update to get all the updates. You can get most of them by updating to 10.6.8 first - download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8. Then use Software Update to get what is left.

  • I have a mac book 10.6.8 that has been upgraded to Snow Leopard (latest version.) How can I upgrade to mountain lion with 1GB of memory? When I go to buy it, it says that it's not compatible with my Mac but my Mac has all of the qualifications.

    If anyone has any idea I'd really appreciate it. I just bought the iphone 5 and recieved the new nano as a birthday gift and now I'm up a creek without a paddle b/c I can't plug them into my laptop without the new itunes that runs on Mountain Lion.
    Please help, I'm not very tech savvy.

    You don't need anything higher than OSX 10.6.8 to run iTunes 11.  iTunes system requirements - http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    You can't upgrade without more RAM.
    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.

  • Freeze after updating to OSX Snow Leopard and version 10.6.8

    My iMac periodically freezes.  This doesn't seem to be related to a particular app or website.

    I have been working through the list of actions and I believe I have identified an issue repairing permissions. I ran Disk Utility from the HD and it reported several issues and that they were repaired. I repeated the repair and the same thing happened. I repeated several times expecting to eventually have the utility report that no repairs were needed. Instead, it kept reporting apparently the same permissions problems and that they have been fixed.
    I next tried booting off the install DVD and repeating above. Same result. How do I remedy disk permissions issues that won't stay repaired?
    I will look around the forums, but wanted to report an update.
    The repairs filled about six pages of a Word file; here are a few samples of what is reported:

  • Snow Leopard Latest Version - Disk Utility TAKES FOREVER to Backup Disk

    Hi,
    it is pretty much as the header describes.
    I have chosen, New Image from Folder... in DU.
    Then I select my boot drive which I want to Backup.
    It has been 45 minutes and DU has copied 13 GB increasingly. And is still going at it.
    I have 500GB on that drive and this way it would take forever.
    Now, if I enter the terminal and do a ditto it will copy about 10GB per minute.
    Any ideas why DU is soooooooo SLOW.

    DU isn't slow, however, you are trying to backup into a disk image which is slow. If you simply use the Restore option of DU to backup, then it will go faster. You should not do a backup into a disk image. It's unnecessarily slow especially if you opted to encrypt the image. DU's Restore option will put a bootable clone onto the backup drive.
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    1. Open Disk Utility from 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.Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the backup drive.
    Source means the internal startup drive.

  • I can no longer reinstall an app I purchased on Snow Leopard

    Now let me try to explain this as easily as possible.
    I have OS X 10.6.8 running on a prematurely obsoleted Core Duo iMac, and I stupidly purchased Apps on the Mac App Store.
    My computer was behaving very strangely and I reinstalled the OS...
    I log in to my App Store account and try to redownload some of the Apps I have purchased.
    Several of them say... Cannot install, need OS X 10.7...
    No worries, I think. I just need to recover them from my Time Machine backup. And I do so.
    But one or two of the apps in my backups were updated just after the time machine backup last took place to their final, Snow Leopard compatible version and the older versions I have reinstalled from Time Machine cannot read the data files created by these newer, updated versions.
    I cannot get the required version of the software. I cannot upgrade to Lion.
    I hope you managed to stay with me long enough...
    Any suggestions.
    Apple's treadmill of exciting upgrades used to thrill me when I had spare money to waste on the latest and greatest. Now it just tires me, I'm getting fed up of their forced obsolescence of old stuff...
    Sadly, the days when one used to say... "But don't worry about the next new OS, because your computer is still just a good as it used to be."
    I'm backing up this post before I submit it... just in case...

    I have the same problem (for Mac and iPhone apps) and contacted Apple about this.
    The English speaking support said it is a known error and that they are working on a solution. The German support however (which I contacted first, unfortunately) gave me a refund of the apps I wrote them as an example. They told me I should buy them again – which is not possible, since the MacAppStore then gives the message "You have already purchased this app..." Ironically, for one of the two apps I was finally able to write a review, even at this point it wasn't listed in the purchased apps list anymore.
    I've never asked for a refund, and it's causing me more trouble than I had before: now I cannot update these refunded apps anymore (since they are not listed in the "Purchased" list). So I have to check manually if there is a new update (comparing version numbers) and then delete the app and "purchase" it again. Of course I would simply buy the apps from the developer directly, however, they are MacAppStore only.
    When I asked the AppStore support about a solution for this problem, they said it's technically not possible to write reviews for refunded apps (? yes, of course they were not really reading what I wrote them. I guess support at Apple is done by Siri now) and gave 10 free iTunes songs.
    I think reviews are very important for both customers and developers and it's not just a minor inconvenience, but a serious problem; what is especially disturbing, is that it's not the same for all apps: for Pixelmator, I had no problems to post a review, for Jumsoft's "Relationship" it doesn't work, for some apps it worked immediately, for some after a few weeks, for some never.

  • HOW to temporarily use Broadcast monitoring work on snow leopard OS X v10.6.8  for  FINAL CUT PRO X

    thx,macmacmac give me prompt.He had an interesting trick for getting the OS X Lion 'only' plugin to work on Snow Leopard
    To install the plugin on Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.8 you have to temporarily change your system version number to Lion 10.7.2!
    1. Go to HD:/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist
    2. Copy the file to the Desktop
    3. Open the original with a text editor and change the string value of 'ProductVersion' and 'ProductUserVisibleVersion' to '10.7.2'.
    4. Save & Overwrite.
    I suddenly thought  Apple said that Broadcast monitoring work on Lion OS X v10.7.3.I change system version number at once! Changing 10.6.8 snow leopard system version number to Lion 10.7.2!
    ok,no problem. Restart final cut pro x,A/V output has appeared in FINAL CUT PRO X preferences and Window Menu
    Enjoy it.HAHA!:cheer:

    thanks for the tip fan!

  • Is Adobe Photoshop CS compatible with Snow Leopard?

    Which Adobe Photoshop is compantible with Snow Leopard? I have MacBookPro 10.5.8 and I upgraded the memory to 4 GB. If I go to 10.6.8 with Snow Leopard, what version of Adobe Photoshop would I need to have?
    Thanks

    Your post has nothing to do with AirPort Networking. You may find that you will get better results if you post to one of the other Communities areas like the Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard or Other Pro Video. 

  • 17 inch i7 Macbook Pro Snow leopard install problems

    Got my new 17 inch i7 MBP, powered it up everythings fine. So I go to re partition the drive and do a clean system install. Middle of the install it fails. Log file shows it cant read files from the DVD.
    So I grab a snow leopard install version 10.6 to install from. It will not boot the mbp i7. It hangs on the apple screen with no activity circle underneath the apple logo. Same for 10.6.2 SL install disc I have.
    I then try to install SL to a external drive and update it to 10.6.3. It boots all my non i7 macs here but when I try to boot the i7 mbp it hangs again on the apple screen.
    I really want to use the i7 machine and Im dreading waiting on apple to send me mbp 17 replacement disks. I have no problems buying a 10,6,3 version of the SL installer but after my experiences with 10.6 and 10.6.2 and the external disk to upgrade to 10.6.3 I have a feeling the i5/i7 machines need specific installer discs.
    Is any one aware of this or run in to it yet ? Thanks.

    The only OS installer that will work with your MBP is the one that came with the Mac originally so you will need to wait for a new set.

  • Does Apple have a web download of Snow-Leopard compatible QuickTIme 7?

    I installed Snow LEopard onto my MacBook Pro 15" on Friday at work. I left the Snow Leopard install disc there, and now at home I realize I did not install QuickTime 7 and I need this to be able to work proficiently in FCP.
    I keep reading that you can download QuickTime 7 at Apple bit every time I try and install after download it says that it is not compatible with this OS.
    Does Apple have a Snow Leopard compatible version of QuickTime 7 available as a download? Or am I screwed and have to wait until Tuesday to get to wotk and install from the disc? Why does it have to be so difficult?
    Dan

    There's also an installer on the "Utilities" or "additional components" installer on the Snow Leopard disc.
