  • How to install Snow Leopard on a 2009 Mac Pro which has Mountain Lion?

    The 2009 Mac Pro that I just bought has Mountain Lion. For many reasons, I do not want to have Mountain Lion on my machine. I have been using Snow Leopard for years and I like it fine. I have my Snow Leopard install DVDs. I cannot get this machine to accept Snow Leopard, which must be just another undesirable aspect of Mountain Lion, bacause this machine must have shipped with some variant of Leopard/ Snow Leopard to begin with. Here's what happens when I put the Snow Leopard Install DVD in the Superdrive:
    1) First, I held down the "C" key at startup to start from a disc. It showed me a window which said "Mac OS X can't be installed on this computer".
    2) Then I started it with Mountain Lion and then put in the Snow Leopard DVD. Got a window which said "The disc you inserted was not readable by this computer". It also had 3 buttons to choose from: "Initialize", "Ignore" and "Eject". So I clicked on "Initialize" and Disc Utility opened on the First Aid page. I assume I'm supposed to erase the startup disc, but I thought maybe I should ask the experts here before I do that.
    This machine has two 2TB HDDs that the previous owner has configured as a level 1 RAID. If I am to erase the startup disc do I erase both drives of the RAID set? If I'm not supposed to erase the startup drive, what do I need to do to get back to Snow Leopard? Thanks and thanks again!

    The built-in checks will keep you from clobbering 10.8 Mountain Lion by Installing Snow Leopard over it (literally, 10.6 Snow Leopard Installer will see a later version in place, and knows it cannot install over a later version). So it says "Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer..." and leaves off "... "in its current state."
    You will need to Install on a 10.6 Snow Leopard-erased drive. Mac OS X Erase function proceeds to install a Partition scheme and a default Volume after erasing, because a truly blank drive is useless for most Users.
    When you boot to the Installer DVD, you are running off the DVD, so all Hard Drives are available to be erased if that is your choice. All data on them will be discarded. If you erase one drive in a mirrored RAID set, normally the other drive would survive and the set would be degraded. But a new version of RAID was introduced right AFTER 10.6, and it is likely that 10.6 cannot read that RAID at all under any circumstances.

  • Snow Leopard Installation problems

    What can I do if the Snow Leopard installation isn't completed, returning message " Installer couldn't replace system documents"?
    I tried once, and system returned me the message above. So I restarted and tried installation again, but first I formatted the HD with the Mac os x Journaled file system. the I retried, but the installation didn't go to an end, returning the same message.
    I'm stucked with a 2009 Macbook Pro. Before I tried installation, suddenly stopped working, booting it with no success, ending with a white wide screen.
    Any ideas?
    Many Thanks.
    Ricky

    Oh, it was the +File Open+ dialog, not a web browser window, is that correct?
    Since you installed Snow Leopard as an upgrade over your existing system, and logged in to your existing user account, you may have had a +Login Item+ (processes that start and run at login) that needs to use "Events.app" (or maybe Events.app itself was the Login Item).
    If you log out and log in, that message should pop up again, if it is related to a Login Item.
    To see your Login Items, go to System Preferences Accounts pane +Login Items+ tab. The list you see are your Login Items. If you see anything that you no longer need, you should remove it. Look for something that may be related to this "Events.app" process.

  • Final Cut Pro 6 on Mac OS Snow Leopard installation problem HELP!!!

    After 2 - 3 hours of installing all 10 FCS 2.0 discs and Software Updates, I can't seem to launch Final Cut Pro 6.0.6. I get *"...software maybe damaged or not installed.."* So I removed all of them and only custom-installed Final Cut Pro 6.0.6. It works with no problem!!! Then I custom-installed Soundtrack, Motion, DVD Studio Pro etc..., I can't launch Final Cut Pro 6.0.6. again! What the **** is going on? I get that "damaged" warning and Final Cut Pro icon is replaced by missing application icon.
    My Mac Pro also has _Pro Tools 8 LE_ with _003 Mixer Rack connect to USB_. That's it. No other application. You think this is maybe causing the problem?
    Anyone having similar problem?

    Carbon Copy Cloner is pretty simple to use.  If you have any questions, post back or read the documentation.  As I said in the user tip, test your clone after you make it to be sure it is bootable and your apps work.

  • Mac Mini core solo 1.5gb snow leopard installation problem.

    Before I tried to install snow leopard I was in the middle of using the restore discs and before I was thinking about it I just turned the computer off when it asked for disc 2. Now I cannot do anything with this computer, turning it on goes to the installation menu and It just prompts for the second disc which I do not have. All my menus are disabled such as disc utility and can't start a fresh install. Also when I turn the computer on and hold the alt key down with a usb keyboard I do not get the option of selecting the snow leopard disc when the option of the hard drives come up. It just ejects the discs. Also tried holding down the C key to boot from dvd and no luck. Any way to get around this or another command to try?

    Sounds like your optical drive went out. Either get it fixed or use an external USB CD/DVD drive. You might try another disc first to eliminate a problem on your install disc. Sometimes scratches and finger prints on a disc can cause problems.

  • Windows XP Installation problem on Mac Pro (Early 2009)

    I am wanting to install Windows XP on 400GB of my hard drive in Bay 2
    I have 2 hard drives in my Mac Pro. The 1st one came pre-installed and I got a 1TB Western Digital SATA and formatted it as Mac OS Journaled. I used The Bootcamp Utility to make a Windows partition on my 2nd hard drive.
    Once I do that I insert the Windows XP SP3 install disc to install it and it says it cannot install it because some random file is missing that is a random bunch of letter and numbers and it says I should erase the partition and try formatting it again. While I'm still using the Windows XP install disc I try doing this it does not work and then when I boot back into Snow Leopard the Bootcamp partition is still there.
    Is this not possible? Or is the only way to install Windows XP on the hard drive in bay 2 by formatting the entire drive for Windows?

    Since the Vista recovery works fine there must be a problem with the XP installation CD created by nLite. And yes this installation CD was not good. I created it with all current Security Patches and with all available Toshiba Satellite A200 Windows XP drivers. Obvisiously i picked up a wrong driver. May a 64-bit one.
    I tried this:
    First I created a new Windows XP disc only with the Toshiba Storage Manager driver. This XP Installation works.
    Then I created again a Windows XP disc will all Security Patches and all Toshiba Drivers. I doubble checked that I did NOT picked up a 64-bit driver. And this disc works. Thanks all.

  • Snow Leopard Install problems on Macbook Pro with bad optical drive

    I've tried this (refer to article below) to install Snow Leopard on a Macbook Pro with a bad optical drive, but I am not able to choose a wi-fi network, or install disk after startup. Is there something else I need to do?
    To use Remote Install Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server:
    Insert the Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server Install Disc into the optical disc drive of the other computer.
    If the other computer is a Mac, open /Applications/Utilities/Remote Install Mac OS X. On Windows, choose "Remote Install Mac OS X" from the Install Assistant.
    Read the introduction and click Continue.
    Choose the install disc you want to use, and click Continue.
    Choose a network connection: AirPort, if you are using an AirPort network, or Ethernet, if the other computer is on an Ethernet network and you have an optional Apple USB Ethernet Adapter connecting your MacBook Air or Mac mini to the same network. Click Continue.
    Restart your MacBook Air or Mac mini and hold down the Option key as it starts up, until you see a list of available startup disks.
    Click Continue in Remote Install Mac OS X.
    If you chose AirPort as your network in step 5, on your MacBook Air or Mac mini choose your AirPort network from the pop-up list.
    If the network is secure, you will be prompted for a password. You can enter a private network name by choosing the ellipsis (...) and typing the name.
    If you chose AirPort as your network in step 5, when you see the AirPort status icon indicating signal strength, click Continue in Remote Install Mac OS X.
    You can now reinstall software, reset your password or run Disk Utility using instructions from the User's Guide.

    Are you able to connect the two via Firewire cable? If so you can boot the MBP into Target Disk Mode. Then boot the other computer from the OS X installer disc. The installer should detect the hard drive of the MBP as an eligible target destination.
    If you have a spare hard drive or at least 10 GBs of usable space on an external drive, then you can create a small 8 GB partition on that drive. Then clone the installer DVD to that partition using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can then boot the MBP from that partition using OPTION boot: Start the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the cloned DVD then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    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 external partition.
    Source means the OS X Installer DVD.

  • Time Machine and Snow Leopard installation problem

    I'm trying to install Snow Leopard, but keep getting an error saying that my hard drive is used for time machin back ups. I have unplugged my external device, turned off time machine, yet this keeps happening. What am I doing wrong? I have been able to install Leopard on the computers that I haven't used time machine.

    BusyChris18 wrote:
    1) Do I have to do anything special with Time Machine BEFORE I install SL? I have been doing regular backups with TM.
    Do a "final" backup and turn TM off.
    2) should Time machine disc be off/disconnected when I do the install?
    It's safest to eject and disconnect it, "just in case."
    3) After I reconnect TM disc after SL install, do I have to "migrate" stuff from TM? OR will it just do a new backup and work like normal from that point forward.
    If you do the normal install, there's no migration needed. 99.9 % of everything will be fine. In some rare cases of 3rd-party apps putting things in unusual places, there may be a problem, and you may need to re-enter some 3rd-party app purchase codes.
    If you erase the drive, then install SL, then yes, of course, you'll have to transfer your data. There should be no reason to do that, but some folks seem to do it out of habit. If you do that, when your Mac boots up again, you can transfer your data from the TM backups. And if you do that, I'd strongly recommend making a separate full backup on a second external drive, again "just in case," preferably a "bootable clone." CarbonCopyCloner and SuperDuper are the most common. (There was a post here just last week where someone did this, the restore got to 99%, then BAM! the TM disk failed.)
    TM backups should just continue normally, although there will almost certainly be a long "Calculating Changes" phase (used to be called "Preparing"). And they've added a progress bar, which doesn't seem to be particularly accurate.
    However, it may try a new, full backup. If it does, cancel the backup and do a Restart. That may reset whatever confused it. If not, there's nothing you can do to prevent it.
    4) Will I be able to access files that were backuped when I have just Leopard?
    Yes.

  • Internal BluRay burner recommendations for Snow Leopard on a new Mac Pro?

    Hi Melanie
    Why does it have to be an internal Blu-ray drive? How many computers are you getting?
    I would recommend purchasing the OWC Mercury Pro FireWire 800/400, eSata, USB 2.0 SATA 5.25 Case Kit and choosing your own SATA Blu-ray burner to install in the case. That way you can connect it to just about any MacPro, MacBook Or even a PC if necessary.
    Here is a link:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MRSFW8U2/
    Or if you don't want to build your own, OWC has several that they have built for you but I haven't been keeping up with any other them enough to recommend a specific Blu-ray burner. In any case, here are a couple likes.

  • Snow Leopard Installation Problems with Bridge

    I just installed Snow Leopard, after having the CS4 Suite with Bridge CS4 previously installed. When I tried to open Bridge after the insallatin of Snow Leopard, I got four error messages in succession, one right after the other when hitting "ok":
    1. PiPL Endian Swap Error
    Please Update PALoadMacPlugins.ccp with prop.
    Unable to Swap PiPLprop 'ms32"   øms325 §'
    2. PiPL Endian Swap Error
    Please Update PALoadMacPlugins.ccp with prop.
    3. PiPL Endian Swap Error
    Please Update PALoadMacPlugins.ccp with prop.
    Unable to Swap PiPLprop 'ms32"   øms325 §'
    4. PiPL Endian Swap Error
    Please Update PALoadMacPlugins.ccp with prop.
    After that, the program opens normally. I re-installed Bridge CS2, which works, but when I tried to use the update for Bridge CS4, it wouldn't allow me to put it in. On the installation disc for CS4, the place to select Bridge for installation was grayed out.

    I didn't get any fix advice.
    When I reinstalled CS4 I didn't install the any of the bonus packs/updates and haven't had the problem.
    I also had (for other reasons) to do a complete reinstall of my system software, which may be why it's fixed.  I'm afraid to install the bonus pack and find out, in any case.

  • Will Leopard work instead of snow leopard on my 2010 mac pro 12 core?

    I am having issues in finalcut 7 shuting down using snow leopard. I bought a new macpro 12core last january and started having this problem. all upgrades were done, no change. had a copy of leopard(10.5) and tried a clean install. computer will not recognize disk. tried tiger, same deal. my main question is will it work on the mid-year macpro's?

    Any Grey Discs would be machine specific.
    It is sometimes possible to install an earlier OS, but...
    Don't install a version of Mac OS X earlier than what came with your Mac...

  • Can't find Leopard Installer Disc for Mac Pro and Need to Boot from Disc.

    Any chance I can create a bootable DVD for my Mac Pro without having the original to duplicate?

    This has to do with the mouse lag/freeze problem people have been having, by the way. Just about any 10 consecutive seconds that I use my mouse, it freezes then jumps a little ways away - which is seriously hampering my ability to finish this editing project.
    It's been suggested this is a directory problem, which is why I'm looking for the boot disc. If anyone has any other advice on this, I'm all ears.
    I've already changed out the hardware and run disk permissions, etc., to no avail.

  • Snow Leopard Server on new Mac Pro

    I'm trying to install SL Server on a new Mac Pro (dual quads, Radeon video, 6GB RAM) and half way through the installation I get a screen that looks like analog TV static.
    Anybody else seeing this?

    Here's what I've done:
    1. took machine out of box. (grin)
    2. Booted off full 10.6 Volume CD
    3. Partitioned drive with new name
    4. Did install. Got to the installing xx minutes remaining screen.
    5. Worked for 10 minutes then screen blanked.
    6. Moved mouse and the screen is pure static. Looks like an old TV not getting a signal.
    7. Swapped memory, same result. Added more memory, same result. Swapped all memory with new, same result.
    8. Reseated all cards, same result.
    9. Installed 10.5.6 from the disc that shipped with the machine.
    10. Ran all updates.
    11. Placed 10.6 server disc in drive. Launched it from within 10.5.
    12. The system rebooted normally.
    13. Started the install again, static at the same place.
    I'm a bit stuck here. My xserves didn't do this.

  • Snow Leopard installation on Mac Mini has failed

    Hi,
    Does anyone know whether Snow Leopard checks what hard disk is installed in order to satisfy installation requirements as I've fitted an SSD Hard Disk Drive in my Macintel Mac Mini and installing Snow Leopard has failed (no longer boots into any Operating System previous nor upgraded. (Mac OS X 10.5.8 previously installed)).
    Thank you for any advice.
    Best Regards.

    It may not have anything to do with a new drive installation. Snow Leopard has just "bricked" my Intel Mac Mini hard drive - the original one. The first attempt at installation failed, so I tried an erase and instal. It seemed to work - briefly but when I tried to restore apps and settings from a Time Machine back-up it "hung" with only one minute of restoration to go. Now the HD appears to have failed, since it is unable to find any system folder and booting up via the Snow Leopard disc and bringing up the disc utility shows a greyed-out HD drive.
    Some people on the MacBook Pro forum report a similar problem with the hard drive after Snow Leopard installation.
