STILL CAN'T "CHANGE ALL" SNOW LEOPARD RETARDATION.

APPLE STOP THE RETARDATION!
PLEASE LET PROFESSIONAL USERS HAVE THE OPTION OF OPENING ALL .MOV FILES IN QUICKTIME PRO 7!!!!
YOU KNOW, LIKE WE USED TO BE ABLE TO DO! IN 10.5!!
I'd downgrade if I didn't have to wipe my drive and start over...
And QuickTimeKirk...please don't respond, as you are absolutely wrong if you think 10.6 doesn't override the option of changing the "open with" when you try to change all.
When you're designing and rendering, you don't want to be bothered with changing each of hundreds of renders to open with the PRO version of the software on your machine!

Kirk is not "absolutely wrong", since it works for some people, including for me, though not for others. As yet I've seen nothing to identify why it fails on some systems.

Hi, you need 10.6.8 first...
First you need to research all the problems people are having with the higher OSX versions, & make sure you have a bootable clone of what you have just in case.
then you must get 10.6, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.

HT4759 can I upgrade from snow leopard to current version of Mountain Lion on my Mac? So I can use icloud on all devices?

Can I upgrade from Snow Leopard - OS X 10.6 - on my current Mac to Mountain Lion - OS X 10.8.2? Or even up into IOS?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
As your Mac is running Mac OS X 10.6, first open  > Software Update and install Mac OS X 10.6.8. This update will add the App Store, so open it and try purchasing Mountain Lion. If your Mac is compatible, the computer will start downloading Mountain Lion.
While your Mac is downloading Mountain Lion, you should make a backup of your files. Also, check if your apps are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com
If your Mac isn't compatible with Mountain Lion, see if you can use OS X Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4949 If it's compatible, call Apple to purchase Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

How can I re-install Snow leopard having installed Lion? The disk supplied states that I cannot use the version of 'Install Mac OS X'...HELP!

How can I re-install Snow leopard having installed Lion? The disk supplied states that I cannot use the version of 'Install Mac OS X'...HELP!

None of the instructions usually given for downgrading seems to mention the fact that you will lose some data in built-in applications, including at least Mail. When you installed Lion, your Mail database was converted from the format used by Snow Leopard's Mail to that used by Lion's Mail. There is no way to reverse that conversion. Therefore, you will lose your entire Mail database. If your messages are all stored on a remote server, that may not be an insurmountable problem, but otherwise you'll have to restore from the last backup you made before the upgrade, and then you'll still lose all changes to the database made since that time.
Another fact not often mentioned is that downgrading is usually the worst possible solution to a problem with Lion. But that's the answer to a question you didn't ask.

I have a MacBook 5,1 (13.3" aluminum from 2007 or 2008). Automatic updates will only let me get to OSX 10.5.8. Can I upgrade to Snow Leopard, Lion 10.6 or even 10.6.8? Also, will I have any issues with my iPhone if it's updated to iOS 7.1?

The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion or Mountain Lion. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
System Requirements for 10.6:
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply.
You can upgrade direct from 10.6.8 to 10.8 Mountain Lion without going through 10.7 Lion with the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody. The Model 5,1 will probably run 10.9 Mavricks when it comes out.
10.8 Mountain Lion is a download from the App Store, the price is $19.99.
Mountain 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 10.8 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also Mountain 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 Mountain Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

Can I dual boot snow leopard and mountain lion if I've installed boot camp on my drive

Can I dual boot snow leopard and mountain lion if I've installed boot camp on my drive

Yes as I said before. If your model Mac came with Snow Leopard and you are now running Mt Lion and have Windows installed in a Boot Camp Partition all you have to do is make the Mt Lion partition smaller, take the free space and make it another Mac partition and you should be able to install Snow Leopard into that partition.
I have Snow Leopard, Lion and Mt Lion installed on my MBP. No Windows in a Boot Camp partition because I run Windows XP in a Virtual Machine on both Lion and Mt Lion.

I have ver 10.5.8 with 4Gb of memory, can I upgrade to snow leopard?

I have a Mac Pro running version 10.5.8 with 4Gb of memory, can I upgrade to snow leopard?
My info is:
Processor 2x2.8 Ghz Intel
Memory 4GB
but when I saw the upgrade for Snow Leopard it said something about needing 5GB?
I'm not the best with tech stuff (obviously never upgraded since I got this one) and not sure if I will be able to.
Any advice most appreciated.
Need to know as I can't seem to get new itunes to download.
Thank you in advance.

Luckily prices have dropped while the quality has improved. Your system can take DDR2 FBDIMMs of 800MHz and 667MHz
2x2GB FBDIMM DDR2 667MHz @ $30

Ideal is to pick up a new drive and leave your system as is and do a clean install and let Setup Assistant merge your old system files.
You may be using the original ATI 2600XT it shipped with? I would replace it with Apple's ATI 5770.
Also plan to start with a new TimeMachine backup set and leave the old one as is, you can reuse it later.
4GB is 'fine' but also is on the "I would not want to run with less" department.
What will make your Mac run faster and smoother is a small SSD boot drive, Samsung 840 128GB.

For now Snow Leopard is still supported but Apple wants to move as many users and systems as possible to 10.9 Maverick, free upgrade from Snow Leopard. But a major overhaul and doing so 10.7 and later dropped support for older applications.
You might even want to see what you use and if you need to purchase or make upgrades to apps you use now in going to 10.6.8. http://www.roaringapps.com

How can I change all the fonts at once on labels I downloaded from Avery?

How can I change all the fonts at once on labels I downloaded from Avery?

select all (Edit > Select All), then open the font panel by selecting the menu item "Format > Font Show Fonts". Now select the font you want.
I could only find Templates from Avery for Pages. I think my suggestion in still good but want you to know you posted this question in the forum for Numbers.

Why can't i install snow leopard as a virtualisation

I want to upgrade to lion (actually I don't, but I will lose my mobile me email account if I dont) but I don't know why I can't still run snow leapord through vmfusion. There are still several non lion compatible apps I need to use!!!!
does anyone know a workaround

You don't have to lose the email account. Just migrate it to iCloud, and tell it you have Lion installed even if you don't. You can still use your email through Snow Leopard.

No problem, provided you have at least 1GB of memory (RAM), you can upgrade to Snow Leopard without difficulty.

A standard installation of SL will only replace the system files, leaving all your data and preferences intact.
But! Things have been known to go wrong, so I strongly advise backing up your current system to an external HD with the Restore function in Disk Utility before starting the installation.

Can Yosemite read a snow leopard Time Machine backup

Can Yosemite read a snow leopard Time Machine backup. Once I installed Lion over SL and it was a disaster since I could not get any docs or photos back, so had to put SL back on my old iMac.
Will 10.10 give the same problem or is there a way to migrate the old 10.6.8 data to 10.10?
Thanks

Yes, you can do that. The only limitation is that you can't encrypt the backup volume.

How can I change all of (or more than one) speaker note to a voice at once?

Hello...
I have a lot of speaker notes that I need to apply a specific voice to. How do I apply the same voice to all of the speaker notes in the whole project at once? Or at least more than one? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you! I am working with Captivate 6.

Hi Vikram,
Thanks. That tip definitely helps! You just have to be careful when you use the CNTRL button and not highlight the name of the slide as you try to highlight the voices. If you do that, then the drop down box becomes “unclickable”. Unfortunately, when using the control button, it is sometimes impossible not to highlight the name of the slide as well.

In how many different computers can I install my snow leopard?

In how many different computers can I install my snow leopard?
The one that came when I bought my Macbook Pro.

Kappy, I believe that he's asking about Snow Leopard, not Lion. Your answer would be correct in reference to Lion purchased from the Mac App Store, but not Lion shipped as original OS on a new Mac.
derojas, assuming you have a standard OEM, it-came-with-the-computer Snow Leopard installer, you are licensed to use it only on that one computer. You are not licensed to install it on any others. Many OEM discs can install only on the specific hardware model with which they shipped, anyway.
If you have a standard retail installer, it's technically possible to install it on any Mac capable of running Snow Leopard. However, again, the license grants you the freedom to install it on only one Mac at a time (i.e. you'd have to delete it from one Mac before you could install it on another).
There are family packs and other multi-licensing arrangements that permit the owner to install Snow Leopard on more than one Mac. You need to check the license to find out how many and what other restrictions might apply.
