Today's Mac OSX Update on Snow Leopard

Device: MacBookPro 15 inch 2007
OSX: Snow Leopard 1.6.2
Updates: "HP printer drivers and Safari"
I just update my System and after restarting it gave me an kernel error.. after reseting the nvram and pram it worked fine again, at least till now.. I just hope for the best :)!
I just wanted you guys to know that this might happen if you update today.. or if someone faces the same issue that he will be prepared!
cheers, Tom
up

Did you update to 10.6.2 via Software Update or did you download the combo? If you used Software Update, get the Combo updater instead and re-apply:

  • TA48312 How can I download Mac OSX 10.6 snow leopard

    Hi ,
    I use to Mac OS X v10.5.8 but I want to update to my MacBook and I need to Mac OSX v10.6 snow leopard... ???

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Mac OS X Snow Leopard is not free. It can be purchased in a DVD at the Apple Online Store > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Before upgrading, make a backup of your files onto an external drive with Time Machine. After upgrading, open  > Software Update to install Mac OS X 10.6.8, so you will be able to install iTunes 11.1.4.
    If you want to upgrade to OS X Mavericks, see > http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade

  • 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.

  • Dreamweaver 8 install on Mac OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard

    Hi all,
    I have just done a fresh install of Mac OSx Snow Leopard (10.6) and am trying to install our copy of Dreamweaver 8 onto it. However I have now run into a few problems. Firstly it came up with an error message stating that some old format is no longer supported or something. I cant get the error message back up now, as now the CD will not mount within OSx!
    Can anyone assist with this? Thanks.

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
    You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

  • Extremely slow Mac after updating to Snow Leopard from Leopard

    Hi, I just updated to Snow Leopard from Leopard, and now everything is extremely slow, things keep crashing, freezing etc. What did I do wrong? How do I fix it?

    Do this:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    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. 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.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro 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.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • HT3771 Hi, I cannot get my HP2200dn to work with my Intel macs after updating to Snow Leopard

    Since installing Snow Leopard I can only print using my HP Laserjet 2200dn mono laser printer if I print via my old G4 which is running Tiger.
    The G4 has the HP printer as a shared printer and is connected using Appletalk.
    Obviously this is very inconvenient as the old G4 is not always on!
    I have downloaded and installed two lots of Apple printer driver updates, along with the latest version of Gutenprint.
    I have tried resetting the printing system, all to no avail.
    No matter what I try the printer keeps pausing before doing anything and pauses again within a few seconds of restarting.
    I have tried various printer drivers with no effect, including the Gutenprint one.
    Any help gratefully received!

    Thank YOU for notifying us of the solution that worked.  Very much appreciated.  May work for other users with the same issue as yourself. 

  • Mac: Graphic Update of Snow Leopard (08/19/10) stopped LR3 from working

    I wonder if I'm the only one who has a problem with the latest Apple Update  named "Graphic Update 1.0 for Snow Leopard" from last night. After I installed the update on my iMac 27" with quad core i5, 8Gb RAM I accidently used LR 3 RC 3.2 when I recognized that the brushes and all other editing tools where really slow. Even after clicking the brush it took sometimes up to 15 sec. until the tool got selected. Using the brush was slow and without any effect on working either.
    I recognized that I was usign the RC 3.2 release which I stopped working with as I have had several issues on that release before with long loading times of photos to edit. So I switched back to the normal release 3.0 which was working OK for me before. But now I have the same issues on the official 3.0 release. Even 3.0 is now very, very stringy and tools aren't working, too. Using the loupe, which shows the magnification immediatly takes now 15 sec. to show the magnification and some more sec. until it is sharp. Switching to next photo takes around 25 sec. which was done in around 3 sec. before.
    Now idea what happend, but I think I have to reinstall the OS and get the latest data from my TM.

    thanks exploded view, you're right, I should try it before. It was so obvious that only the update could have been the matter....
    If so normally I expected more people having that problem.
    Bert,
    Was this specific to the iMac?  I just checked for updates on my Macbook Pro and nothing came up about a Graphic update.  I went through the process of backing off an update (10.6.4 back to 10.6.3).  It wasn't exactly pretty, but not impossible.  You may have to do some reinstalls afterward if you find you need to choose that route.  In my case I reinstalled Snow Leopard from the DVD first, preserving current user settings and then reinstalled 10.6.3 from a download.  A few hours effort, but was back in business, so it is doable.

  • How fix lost dialog box for typing in wanted web site url after installing security update 20110811165603 into Mac OS 10.6 snow leopard today 6.04.2011.

    Today, was prompted to install new security update. Did so. Now when click on + to open new tab the words New Tab appear in the tab. But, no dialog boxes appear to type in wanted new URL and no google dialog box appears in the tab area.
    Every thing was fine before installed this new security update 20110811165603 into Mac OS 10.6 snow leopard computer.

    Thanks for your reply and sorry for the delayed response - have been away for a few days over the holidays.
    I understand your point about backups and disk permissions. I do have a back up copy and will adopt using the 'verify disk' step in future; so, for me the loss shouldn't amount to any more than the time I have spent, as frustrating as that is. However, I think the point I'd like to make is that doing a disk permissions check is fine for those like me [or others on this forum] since I work in a hi-tech industry, and have worked in a Unix/Linux environment for the last ~20 years so understand about permissions etc. , but I know people with Macs for whom the key advantage is that the they largely 'manage themselves' seamlessly. So, if the verify step is simply a pushbutton check-then-repair step and omitting it can lead to such fatal errors, then why can't it be built into the update script as the first automatic step ? What I mean is; my computer reached this unusable state simply by pressing 'ok' on a planned update, so to the average-Joe user it looks like a 'stop and catch fire mode'.
    For info: I have now used Disk Warrior, which is reporting a disk malfunction, but can recover the user data. It seems to be a remarkable coincidence though, because there were no system problems exhibited before the update.

  • HT1338 After reloading OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard iMac wont install updates

    iMac wont update after reinstalling OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard

    If I recall correctly the gray bar could indicate that a firmware update is installing, or that the system is checking the hard drive.
    I've run out of suggestion since without the Install DVD's we can't boot the system to run Disk Utility in order to verify the hard drive. It might be a good idea to give Apple a call to see if they can help you get a set of replacement install discs.
    The other option is to find another working Mac and connect the two systems via a compatible Firewire cable. Once connected turn on your iMac with the issue and hold down the 't' key in order to place the iMac into the Target Disk Mode. This should allow your other Mac system to mount your iMac's hard drive as an external volume. If nothing else it would allow you to backup your important files.

  • I am trying to update my mac to os x snow leopard but the cd won't run on my computer

    I am trying to update my mac to os x snow leopard but the cd won't run on my computer. I'm using an external dvd hardrive but I don't see why that would make a difference in wether or not it runs.

    Well, that may be the cause of the no install problem, as Snow Leopard does require at least 1gB of RAM. The Apple link below will show how it is installed.

    The link below is for a highly recommended site to purchase additional RAM.
