Snow Leopard Works....

Normally I'd advise on a format and install....Been running Tiger for a while but decided it's time for an upgrade. I(after cloning my os drive and begun installing) forgot to format my OS disk(don't know why I'm doing this when I REALLY WANT TO SLEEP). Soo.... Snow Leopard installed over my old OS and everything is running smoothly(knock on wood). Apps open up pretty fast(er) my rendering in FCP seems to be a bit faster and all Adobe software open up in seconds with the exceptions of AECS4 and PPCS4(the banes of my existence)... plugins(stock), filters(stock), templates(I only run stock everything) are all there.
Just want to share this surprise(it is to me) with everyone....
(one more bracketed comment because i can)

Be sure to apply the graphics update.

Does Snow leopard work on my iMac G5?

Does Snow leopard work on my iMac G5?

Before upgrading to Leopard, be sure to determine if you need Classic. You won't have access to Classic, unless you erase and partition your hard drive:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61301
Or use an external Firewire hard drive to run 10.4.11 or earlier. Boot Camp is not available to iMac G5s. iTunes 9.2.1 offers some compatibility in 10.4 for items you may otherwise want iTunes 10 for which requires 10.5 or later be installed. See these links:
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1056
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes_version_history
You'll need to use the original iMac G5 installer discs to restore your Classic environment, if you find you have to erase or partition a drive, unless you cloned it before. See my FAQ* on cloning, which you should do before installing anything:

Can OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard work with an Imation Superdisk 120MB Drive?

I have an Imac duo core with Snow Leopard OSX 10.6.8 running on it.
Need to know if OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard works with an Imation Mac USB Superdisk 120 MG Drive before I buy an old use one.

Why would you want technology that is so old?

Back to my Mac not working between Snow Leopard work iMac and Lion home iMac

I have a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac at work running OS X 10.6.8.
I have a 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 iMac at home running OS X 10.7.2.
At present, I am unable to upgrade the work iMac to Lion because I need to run Intel's FORTRAN compiler, which does not yet work under Lion.
I have upgraded my MobileMe account to use iCloud on my home machine. Because my work machine is still using Snow Leopard, I can't use iCloud on that machine just yet.
Initially, even after upgrading to iCloud on my home machine, I was able to use Screen Sharing from either computer to use the other computer. I accidentally clicked "Turn Off Back to My Mac" in the MobileMe settings of my work machine. When I click "Turn on Back to My Mac" to try and turn it back on, I consistently get the dialog box "Unable to start Back to My Mac Back to My Mac could not start because of a MobileMe server error. Try again later. If this problem persists, contact MobileMe Support." And hitting OK brings it back to the off state. So I can not turn on Back to My Mac at work, therefore I can not connect to my work machine from home to use Screen Sharing like I want to.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Has anyone found out how to turn Back to My Mac back on in such a case?
Thanks for any help you can give,
Adam

Hi,
the current version I had was 3.2(5612) but having just checked no a newer 3.2.1 has just been released. Let me do the upgrade and see how I get on.

VPN NO LONGER PROVIDES NETWORK ACCESS using SNOW LEOPARD (WORKED OK BEFORE)

I was using the Apple VPN tool to access my business network (via Leopard Server) without problem when using Leopard.
After upgrading both the server and laptops to Snow Leopard, I can successfully make a VPN connection to the server, but cannot access any of the devices on the network (printer, other computers, or NAS where my iTunes library resides).
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,
i had exactly the same issue, once i installed 10.6 the VPN would still connect, but alas i could not connect to the server internally or any other internal network devices. I solved it by disabling encryption on the VPN settings, it had 18 bit enabled by default, looks like 10.6 activates the encryption setting by default. So my advice is to ensure that if you do not have encryption enabled then make sure is is set to none in the VPN settings. Hoe this helps, like i said worked for me, but may not for you, give it a go and see what happens.
Cheers,
Gerry

Canon IR-C3100N Snow Leopard work around

I just got this printer.
Installed PPD v2.85, setup using LDP, select print from Mac and nothing come out from printer.
UFR II not working on this model.
Finally got it to work by installing older iR-PS v1.8.1 Canon PS driver meant for 10.5. Will not work from setup, need to tweak as below:
1) Install PPD v2.85
2) Install iR-PS v1.8.1
3) Add printer by selecting 'more printers' - Canon IP (PS) mode.
4) Enter printer's IP.
5) The setup will auto select 'Canon iR C3100 Canon PS' as PPD.
6) Change the PPD to 'Canon iR C3100' from v2.85 PPD.
Wahla it works! If you don't change the PPD, the print queue will say driver error, please reinstall driver.

Sounds like you went to a lot of trouble for nothing. By selecting the PPD, you have bypassed the Canon PS driver, so the process of adding the PS driver would be a wasted step.
While this may have worked for you, for the sake of anyone else reading this post, there is no need to add the Canon PS driver. The transport modules do not work on Snow Leopard and as you have said, if you left the Print Using set to the iR C3100 CanonPS, then you get an error. And by selecting More Printers > Canon IP (PS), you have basically selected IP > LPD as a protocol.
So, if the iR C3100 supports PostScript, then you select IP > LPD for the protocol, enter the IP address of the Canon, enter a queue name of LP and select the Canon iR C3100 in the Print Using menu.

Mountain Lion/Mavericks 'breaks' wifi base station - Snow Leopard works fine

Greetings all,
(Tried this in the OSx forum with no answers, so I figured I'd try the MacMini community and this one.)
I've been reading my way toward blindness through countless threads, here and elsewhere, from countless people, having problem with Mountain Lion and Wi-Fi these last few days, but some are using Airport, some are using third-party Wi-Fi routers, some aren't really specifying what they're using, so I thought I'd be as specific as possible about my situation - and add the fact that everything is still working fine if I boot into a cloned backup using Snow Leopard.
===
So here's the situation. I have a Intel Mac Mini which I use as a Wi-Fi base station for a Intel PowerBook Pro and an iPod 5. The Mini has been running Snow Leopard, and the PowerBook had been upgraded to Mountain Lion a few months ago. Things were still working fine at that point - the PowerBook's shift from SL to ML didn't affect its connectivity as a 'receiver' at all. About a week ago however, I finally upgraded the Mini to Mountain Lion as well (so that I could install the current version of Adobe Lightroom) and lost my Wi-Fi Internet access.
When I turn Wi-Fi on at the PowerBook, the Mini's network is visible, and I get the solid Wi-Fi fan showing a full connection, but I cannot access the Internet (indicated by the exclaimation point inside the fan for the first few seconds). The same is true on the iPod - I get the checkmark showing that I'm connected, but when I try to access any Internet services will get a pop-up box telling me that the Internet is not connected.
After going through pages and pages and pages of people struggling with similar issues on sites like this, and following suggestions like deleting my preference files, repairing permissions, zapping PRAM, creating new locations, changing IP addresses etc. I got no further. But since I had cloned my hard drive just before the upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion (thank you SuperDuper), I can reboot into Snow Leopard, and everything still works fine. With that advantage, I copied and re-created EVERY SINGLE preference in the system preferences for Network and Internet sharing* from the Snow Leopard into the Mountain Lion system. (I even went so far as to create a network in Mountain Lion's prefs. with WEP encryption instead of the newer WPA just in case that would make any difference at all.) But even with identical settings on the Mini regardless of booting into Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion, Mountain Lion remains the same - no problem connecting with the network, but complete inability to access the Internet. A few days ago, hoping against hope that an upgrade to Mavericks might reset things into some sort of working mode, I tried that - but no better result.
(*) I note that the wifi heading in the preference panes has changed from "AirPort" in Snow Leopard to "WiFI" in Mountain Lion and Mavericks, but I'm assuming that's just a change Apple made in its terminology to avoid confusion with the external AirPort options.
I would appreciate any suggestions any of you could give. And I would ask that you specify whether any suggested changes are to be made on the originating Wi-Fi station (in this case the Mini), or the receiver (in this case the MacBook). Many of the threads I've read to date can be confusing simply because they're not specifying on which machine any suggested changes need to be made, and while I'm sure there's nothing that needs to be changed at the MacBook, please specify if I'm wrong.
Thanks again,

Anyone Figured Out How to Get Snow Leopard Working on a Retina 15" ?

Hi All,
Has anyone figured out a way to get Snow Leopard to install and run stable on a Macbook Pro 15 Retina?
Just like Lion, Mountain Lion is flaky, and just isn't as rock solid as Snow Leopard.
Media, Finder, and a host of other system level attributes that were perfect in Snow Leopard are buggy in Mountain Lion.
Examples: Finder is weird now, and 19 full length movies that played perfectly in Snow Leopard under iTunes and my iPhone were wiped from my iPhone and deemed "not compabitle" under Mountain Lion.
As I posted when Lion came out, sometimes different is not better, it's just different. I now wish I hadn't sold my '09 Macbook Pro 17 to buy my Retina 15.
The big obstacle, of course is the fact that the Snow Leopard install doesn't have the correct drivers for video and other subsystems for my new Retina 15.
So, anyone figured out a work around?
Thanks,
Mark

You have got to be kidding if you think Windows 2000 was the most stable and bug free. And it quickly aged itself out of business and you could not connect any peripherals that appeared 2 years after its release. I think Windows 7 is far more stable and my second choice would be Windows XP.
Mountain Lion is running just fine on my late 2011 MPB and running fine on my 2 friends who have the rMBP. And they like to rub it in that they both have the rMBP.
And most people who rate such things claim Tiger was the most stable. You should have seen all the threads here with complaints about SL when it was released.

Lion (non-Snow) Leopard Work-Around Question.

I have a four year old Black MacBook running Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and a Two Year Old MacBook Air running Leopard 10.5.2. I can't find my Snow Leopard install disk. If I download Lion to my Black MacBook, can I transfer the install package via Bluetooth to my MB Air? If not, is there some other strategy I can employ?

Only if you frist update to 10.6.7 or later, so you can DL the installer. BTW, you can get a replacement install disc from AppleCare, providing you have the receipt. I've not tried to install Lion on top of Leopard, so don't know if that'll work, so all you can do is try it. Ensure that you have bootable backups/clones of your current installations before embarking on this venture.

Will Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard work for my macbook?

I have a 2010 macbook, there is nothing installed, the hard drive is clean. i want to install snow leopard on it. If i buy
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard from the apple store $30 will it work for my macbook, will it install. any help would be appreciated.
here are my macbook serials:
serial number: 3401*****5w
model identifierL macbook7,1
<Edited by Host>

To get iLife and iWork. If you only want iPhoto or other single apps from iLife '11 you can get them from the App Store after you've upgraded to 10.6.6. iPhoto, iMovie or Garage Band for $15 each and Pages, Keynote or Numbers from iWork '09 for $20 each.
Once you are at 10.6.8 you can buy Lion for $29 from the App Store. Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.

Will Mac OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard work for a windows Computer....???

hi. i am wondering if i could buy MAC OSX 10.6 SNOW LEOPARD and put it into my windows Computer and erase windows and put MAC on it? i just bought an. HP Pavilion Slimline about 1-2 weeks ago. and it has. AMD Athlon II X2. With NVIDIA Graphics With Cuda.... Will it work??? please let em know....

Snow Leopard requires an Apple Macintosh with an Intel CPU. I doubt that even with extensive, license-breaking hacks you could get it to run on an AMD CPU.

Xerox Phaser 3100 and Snow Leopard: work or not?

Hi,
Xerox don't support Phaser 3100 scan functions on Mac OS X 10.6 (the xerox printer driver work perfectly), so I installed SANE driver and scanner work fine on my MacBook AIr with Mac OS X 10.6.2.

I'm going crazy, please anyone help me!!

Not here.
I used the phaser 3100 on leopard via its wireless options on my studio's network.
now my mac is running snow leopard and printer driver doesn't work.
there's no updated drivers per se.
i don't know if i should wait for a driver or sell the printer. **** !

Welcome to Apple Discussions,
Mac Pro Model A1047
All Mac Pros are Intels and can run OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard; however "Model A1047" is apparently not a Mac Pro but a Power Mac G5.
[Everymac|http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g5/index-powermac-g5.ht ml] shows:
*Power Macintosh G5* 1.6 (PCI) 1.6 GHz PowerPC 970 (G5)
Intro. Date: June 23, 2003 Disc. Date: June 9, 2004
Order No: M9020LL/A *Model No: A1047* (EMC 1969)
Subfamily: Power Mac G5 Model ID: PowerMac7,2
Std. RAM: 256 MB Std. VRAM: 64 MB
Std. HD: 80 GB (7200 RPM) Std. Optical: 4X "SuperDrive"
All G5s have PowerPC processors, and cannot run OS X 10.6 - the highest would be OS X 10.5, Leopard.
To be sure about which Mac you have, go to the Apple menu at the top left, click on "About this Mac", and then at the next window, click on More Info. Post back what you see.

Snow leopard works flawlessly

not trying to be a fanboy or an apple suckup here, but i just thought i'd post to say that i'm running 10.6.1 and have zero issues, complaints, freezes, crashes, or any other kind of weirdness. additionally, i've noticed a significant performance bump and appreciate the newfound hard drive space.
so often, these boards are filled with crazy posts that assume everyone is having problems and, as i read somewhere, making a judgement about a product based on that statistically flawed sampling is like going to the hospital and walking away with the conclusion that the whole world is dying.

Lucky you! Yes, it's true I've had friends install SL and have no problems/faults but my computer has had problems from the moment I installed Snow Leopard. Frozen screens being the most frustrating.
I'm now at day 5 and have spent hours! with senior consultants at Mac phone support ...no solutions other than to revert to the previous version of OSX Leopard. Money not well spent for Snow Leopard in my case.
Congrats on your zero issues - it's good news

Snow Leopard Works....
