Snow leopard using documents from a windows server, I will have problems if I update to lion

Hi all,
I am working with my Macbook with Snow Leopard and I use files from windows server 2008 and also the accountance program reside on it, we always acceed by smb. I have not updated my Mac OX to Lion because I am frightened about lost my conection to this computers. Could I update or it is better to remain into Snow Leopard.
Thanks in advance

http://www.apple.com/pr/ may also have the answer when Apple is ready to reveal it.
Apple's "free" updates have typically been on http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/
Consider first if you are ready for Lion by reading this tip.  It is doubtful that not being ready for Lion will mean you'll be ready for Mountain Lion.

  • Upgrade Leopard to Snow Leopard Using Disc From Another Computer?

    I have a mac that is running Leopard 10.5.8 and I was wondering if I could use my mom's OS Disc for her computer as she is running Snow Leopard when she bought her computer a few years ago.

    No, you need a retail version of Snow Leopard. It is also against the software license.

  • Windows 7 on snow leopard using boot camp 2.1/2.2 drivers

    Hey Forum,
    i am using snow leopard on my macbook, and I do not have the snow leopard install disc as I have lost it. I am intending to install windows 7 on it with my old leopard install dvd using boot camp 2.1/2.2 drivers? Can it be done? Ok in summary:
    1-I partition my bootcamp using boot camp 3.1 on snow leopard,
    2-process of installing windows
    3-use my old leopard install dvd to install the drivers.
    4-is it possible?
    Regards.
    Ala.

    Hi,
    Apple strongly recommends to use the BootCamp 3.0/3.1 drivers for Windows 7 and nothing else.
    OSX Snow Leopard install DVDs can be bought at any Apple Store (and Amazon, etc.) for about USD 29
    In summary:
    1 - Works
    2 - Works
    3 - Might not work at all or you might have to use the 'compatibility mode' with the 2.x drivers.
    4 - Try it
    Before attempting you might wanna have/make a backup of your OSX, just in case.
    Regards
    Stefan

  • Just installed windows 7 on my macbook (os x snow leopard) using bootcamp.  I can't get back to my mac now.  I've tried logging off of windows and shutting it down.  when i restart it comes back on in windows.  How do I get back to my os x?

    Just installed windows 7 on my macbook (Mac OS X Snow Leopard) using bootcamp.  Windows 7 works great, but I can't get back to my Snow Leopard.  When I log off or shut down Windows and try to start up again, all I get is Windows.  How do I get back to my mac operating system?

    If your Mac is off then start up. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the Option key until the Mac and Windows Disks show up. Then click on the Mac disk and the arrow below it. After it boots up in Mac then go to System Preferences>Startup Disk and select your Mac partition as the Startup disk.
    If you are in Windows then look for the Boot Camp icon on the taskbar. It will look like a gray box sitting on one corner. One of the options when you click it is to restart in Mac OS. After it boots up in Mac then go to System Preferences>Startup Disk and select your Mac partition as the Startup disk.

  • I have tried to update from Leopard to Snow Leopard using disk. New OS wouldn't load and now laptop won't start at all

    I have tried to update from Leopard to Snow Leopard using disk. New OS wouldn't load and now laptop won't start at all. Simply get the Apple logo and the clock below and then after about 10 mins the laptop switched itself off. The Snow Leopard  disk is a brand new family edition. Error message when attempting to install was that "this software cannot be installed on this disk".

    Thanks Fred, but I've tried '''ALL''' that already.
    I '''THINK''' I might have found the problem - the Profiles folder has been locked by inherited properties from the levels above. I have had to go all the way up to my User folder and reset ALL the properties from there down to be unlocked so that I could remove the prefs.js file so that it could be recreated on the next launch of FF. Exactly why my User folder is locked in such a way as to stop me/FF making changes when I have been able to alter preferences at will in the past, I don't know ...
    So far, so good. I have since done a complete shutdown and when I restarted this morning, FF seems to be behaving itself ...

  • Is it possible to run Tiger in Snow Leopard using Parallels?

    Hey All,
    Anyone know if it is possible to run Tiger in Snow Leopard using Parallels?
    I am using SPSS 16 and it is not compatible with snow leopard. A temporary fix right now if I partitioned my hard drive and installed Leopard on some extra space to run SPSS. This is kind of annoying because I only need Leopard to use SPSS. I would rather emulate it so I can listen to iTunes and check my email in SL.
    What about Panther? I think I even have a copy of Panther to install in Parallels?
    I read somewhere that the EULA restricts OS X from being emulated, which seems odd for Mac users who need to test or use old software. I understand though about emulating OS X on windows machine though. I guess they need to blow off the whole foot than just cut off one toe.
    Thanks for the thoughts!

    From what I can tell, doing this would be, at best, of dubious legality.
    Even so, the popular opinion seems to be that it would take some degree of hacking to pull off a virtual machine running OS X. I think that unless you are willing and able to undertake such a task, your best bet is to stick with a partition running an old version or wait for SPSS to be updated for Snow Leopard.
    Although...... I have Parallels 4 (current version is 5) and it has an option, when setting up a new Virtual Machine, to install Mac OS X server (see image linked below). Perhaps if you could get a copy of the server edition of the OS you would have more success?

  • Binding Snow Leopard Clients to 10.5.8 server 2

    Has anyone found a solution to this infuriating problem of not being able to pair a Snow Leopard client to 10.5.8 server?
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10969925

    I am not sure I am doing what you suggest correctly.
    From the directory utility i was able to pull down the File menu
    and connect to the xserve using the diradmin account. This caused
    a new path to appear in the search policy tab.
    However, i still cannot bind to the server and still get the
    authentication error when I try.
    After rereading your post, I realized that you had added the path
    a different way. So I deleted the one I had added via File -->
    Connect and just went to the Search Policy tab and added a custom
    path the way you said. Same results in the end. I could not bind.
    I may just install 10.5 on these computers and be done with it.
    My method was a little different. In Directory Utility, I went
    to Advanced Settings, hit the '+' and added the open directory
    server. Then I went to the Services tab, selected LDAPv3, and
    hit the little pencil to edit. Then I selected the open
    directory server, hit Edit, and tried to bind, but it wouldn't
    work at first. Back in the Directory Servers tab, I noticed that
    the little status light was grey instead of green. Then I went
    to the Search Policy tab and noticed that the open directory
    server wasn't in the path, so I went to Custom Path and manually
    added it. After that, I was able to bind and the little status
    light went green.
    However, in this process I also did some other messing around on
    the command line. After the first time I tried to bind and
    couldn't, I quit the Directory Utility and opened a Terminal
    window. As root, I wiped out the /private/etc/krb5.keytab file
    and the contents of the /private/var/db/krb5kdc directory, and
    then rebooted. That is:
    cd /private/etc
    sudo mv krb5.keytab krb5.keytab.orig
    cd /private/var/db/krb5kdc
    sudo rm -rf *
    (Be careful with the last command!)

  • HT1689 What do you do if your computer is not upgradeable to snow leopard using Iphone 5

    What do you do if your computer is not upgradeable to snow leopard using Iphone 5,
    just purchased my new iphone 5 64gb- but does me no good if I cant back up pictures or add my music frm my computer even using icloud. How can I do the things I was able to do with the Iphone 4 now that the 5 will not be recognized at all by my Mac without shelling out thousands of dollar to buy an intel runnung computer just because the Apple software department cannot plug in backwards compatibility to new products such as the iP 5! My computer runs perfectly what am I going to do with two computers if I were to buya new one.
    any one having the same stupid issue here or am I the only one frustrated with apple making new products and making people have to purchase, upgrade, pay for icloud storage when their home computers are completely capable of doing that which is the reason they bought them in the first place.

    So just called apple for the second time about this issue.  First time the tech i got on the phone i think was clue less about the problem. She recommended i buy a cd to upgrade my system and that would fix the problem and my os would be functional with iP5 , iTunes etc...
    So i gave her my computer serial and required info so she could look up my system and make sure  it would work.  I was sold a cd convinced it would work after all apple care techs should know what they are doing right!? 
    Got the cd in the mail pop it in and nothing, error window saying need intel processor to install this cd contents ***! Yea thats what  said today  after the second call to apple.  I did get another hint of hope from the tech i got on the phone today tho.  He really seemed to know his stuff.., so now i fond out apple can replace your processor on certain model computers FOR FREE just pay the parts and you are ready togo with snow leopard and " anything apple throws at your computer" . Going to try this also and will post results soon for all you that may have some hope left... 

  • I want to go back to Snow Leopard 10.6 from Lion. Quicken 2007 is not compatible with Lion.

    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

  • Recover deleted document from Oracle content server

    Hi All,
    I've deleted some of documents from oracle content server mistakenly. I am using oracle ucm11g.
    I found that we have a feature called "Trash bin". Trash-bin used for recover the deleted document/folder but unluckily settings for "Trash Bin" is disabled in my UCM folder configuration.
    Is there any other way to recover?
    Please kindly help me on this. It's an urgent production issue, please.
    Thanks for your great support in advance.

    Is there any other way to recover?
    Try to take a look at Repository Manager admin application: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e10978/c03_repository.htm#DAFCGDIE
    If you still can see your items there, you could recover the status.
    If not, I'm afraid your documents are gone from UCM. In that case, you might recover them from a back-up. There is also a chance that documents are still present in the Vault directory, so rather than 'recover', you might 're-submit' them.

  • Control-Shift-W activates Snow Leopard-Like exposé for all windows. Can this be disabled/changed?

    Running Mac OS X 10.7.2 on my MacBook Air, Control-Shift-W produces a Snow Leopard-like expose for all windows.
    While useful, this keyboard shortcut is wreaking havoc with my BBEdit settings. (Control-Shift-W is used to toggle "Selected text only" in the "Find" window.)
    Does anyone know a way to alter or disable this system shortcut? I haven't been able to find any information regarding this shortcut and I fear I may have altered an underlying property (using "defaults write…" at the command line) and I don't know how to revert what I (may) have done.
    Thanks in advance.

    I suspect that it's busy trying to mount a network file system of some type.
    Are there any errors in your logs that seem appropriate (viewable via Applications->Utilities->Console?)

  • Unable to upgrade my 3 year-old MacBook Pro (w/ Intel chip) 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard using installation disk. Why is this so difficult?

    I have a macbook pro OSX 10.5.8 and cannot seem to upgrade to Snow Leopard using my Snow Leopard disk. My MacBook Pro has an Intel chip. Why is this so complicated and how am I supposed to install Snow Leopard if I can't do it via disk??

    It may interest you to know that if you want to upgrade to Lion, the only additional cost will be $29 - one price for all the computers using your Apple ID. You must upgrade to Snow Leopard first.
    Something else to keep in mind - your MacBook Pros may also meet Mountain Lions's requirements:
    Macs that will support OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
    As usual, the newer the Mac the better:
    MacBook Pro – 13″ from mid 2009 or later, 15″ from late 2007 and newer, 17″ from late 2007 and newer
    from http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/16/os-x-10-8-mountain-lion-system-requirements/

  • We just moved from a Windows server to a Mac server with our Macs -problem!

    We just moved from a Windows server to a Mac server with our Mac Network!!!
    Problem:
    Now, when we create files from our personal computers, no one else can write them. We can all read these files, but when we make changes we have to save a version! This wasn't happening on the Windows server, so I can only guess that it's a setting on the Mac? (G4 Laptop running 10.4.5)
    Can anyone help me figure out what setting needs to be changed?
    Thank you very much in advance!
    -Alex

    This is normal behavior, and is a result of the POSIX umask. Newly created files have their POSIX permissions (owner, group, and everyone fields) set such that only the owner can read and write.
    The best way to solve this problem is to use an ACL entry to define desired permissions for a folder, specifying inheritance (e.g., permissions apply to this folder and any newly-created files or folders inside of that).
    Please see my ACL Tips version 2 link for more information, including a more detailed explanation of POSIX and ACL permissions and how they work together: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1732788

  • How can I create a disk image of snow leopard installer disk from my Imac which runs it?

    how can I create a disk image of snow leopard installer disk from my Imac which runs it? It came without DVD installer, and I want to make a copy of it's OS installer but can't find out how.

    You need to have the disc in order to create disk image of snow leopard installer disc. What did your machine ship with? If something later than SL, then why? If earlier, then you can buy the SL installer disc and make the disk image.
