Toolbars from customize only showing in one window (Mac Snow Leopard).
Dragged several toolbar buttons from the customize window onto the toolbars in various places. None of them show up in any other window other than the one I did this in.
Well first you need to check to make sure your Mac meets the 10.8 specifications.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS_X_Mountain_Lion
If you don't knwo what your Mac is, use the free MacTracker and then the Apple Menu > About this Mac > More informationa nd look for a model number like MacBook Pro 3,1 and use MacTracker search feature.
Next your going to have to make a copy of your existing data to a external storage drive, not TimeMachine which you currently have.
Most commonly used backup methods
When you upgrade to 10.8, your going to have a different machine anyway, so your going to be setting it up all over again. It doesn't make too much sense to restore from TM for just a few files as it takes a long time and copies over stuff from the previous owner. So it's faster and safer to just import your files manually when 10.8 is installed.
If your Mac will run 10.8, you have to realize that likely software you currently have (and is not yours) will no longer work or be there after this proceedure, it's to make sure it's all you and not someone elses.
First follow this method to erase and install 10.6 again, it's so you start clean and there are no conflicts/problems or issues as your AppleID is used to download 10.8 and any app store software is copy protected.
This way your updating 10.6.8 (Software Updated) to 10.8 on a "Fresh install" which is better than trying a upgrade.
How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
Make sure your iLife package is installed (look for iPhoto and if there it is) just use the bunded app installer if you have the grey/black 10.6 disks. White 10.6.3 disks don't have iLife, so you'll be buying it from the AppStore again later with your AppleID so you can get updates for it.
Next log into App Store and download 10.8 and upgrade, you do need a fast, reliable internet connection as it's large download.

How do I put all the episodes from a TV show into one iTunes folder?
Can someone tell me how to put all the episodes from a TV show into one folder? I'm not sure how I did this, but while converting my dvd's to digital on my computer, one TV show (Firefly) created one folder with the Firefly name, and within that folder are all the episodes. I've tried to recreate this with MASH, but it just puts each episode into the TV library. This gets very messy with alot of different TV shows. Help! Thanks!!
In principle TV Shows are grouped on the Show field and within a show sub-grouped on Season No. In practice recent builds of iTunes and/or Apple TV firmware seem to be taking account of Album, Artist & Album Artist in certain views. For consistency I would suggest the following approach:
Show = Album = <Show Name>
e.g. "30 Rock"
Artist = Album Artist = <Show Name> Cast (or something like that)
e.g. "30 Rock Cast"
Season No. = <Season No.> or <Blank> (Separate seasons or all listed together)
e.g. 1-3
Episode ID = s##e## (This field, sorted alphabetically, controls order)
e.g. s01e01 - s03e58 (use s##e### when >99 episodes)
Episode No. = Track No. = <Absolute Episode No.>
(Can also be per season, but abs. is better) e.g. 1 - 58
Disc No. = <Season No.> (Can be set even if merging seasons)
e.g. 1-3
Taking this approach you can always merge or split into individual seasons simply by clearing or setting the Season No. field.
For general tips on organizing media in iTunes see Grouping tracks into albums.

Why can I create a new folder in the catalog but it only shows up in windows not the catalog
Why can I create a new folder in the catalog but it only shows up in windows not the catalog
Not sure I understand the question but it could be because you meant to say "can't" somewhere in the sentence. anyway, just guessing here:
Try going to:
File >> Watch folders
Now you can Add new folders here that you see them in Windows. The word ADD is a button to browse for the folders and hopefully this will solve the problem you are having. -
My wife and I both have the new iPhones. Is there a way to set up two separate iCloud accounts but have photo stream from both phones sync with one family mac? So, we don't want to share contacts or anything else, just photos... Thanks in advance
If you turned off Contacts wouldnt that mean that the Contacts would no longer be backed up to iCloud as well? That would make it a pain when upgrading a phone to not easily pull contacts back down.

Ever since Firefox upgraded to 20.0, my enabled deiconizer doesn't work when I open a new browser window. Using Mac/Snow Leopard.
I want those bookmark toolbar icons to disappear permanently! They are nothing but clutter.Thanks for the suggestions. I think my next move is to contact Mozilla/FireFox to complain about this change and see if it can be fixed. If not, then I'll probably just switch to Safari. I lose patience with companies/programmers who do things like this. When I had programmers reporting to me (before I retired a few years ago), I would never let them get away with this sort of nonsense. User flexibility was a requirement.

Just purchased new ipad air 2. When I performed system restore from the backup from my old ipad 2, the music that was on my old ipad transferred to my new ipad. But I can't synch the rest of the music I have in my itunes on my mac (snow leopard. itunes 11.4). Suggestions?
Hi were you able to resolve yours?
I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
Perform a hard reboot
Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on. -
Hello,
I have installed mountain lion on my macbook pro ,but it made my mac very slow. Would someone please tell me how to uninstall this one and reinstall snow leopard? I tried to do it by my original CDs but macbook pro didn't let me to do it.
ThanksIt would be easier to just fix whatever is making your machine slow.
I wrote a little diagnostic program to help show what might be causing these problems. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etresoft.com/download/EtreCheck.zip, run it, and paste the results here.

I recently upgraded my MacBook from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. Now when I create a song in Garage Band 2008, I cannot save the volume adjustment when I share back to iTunes, which is now version 11.1.1, and ultimately upload to YouTube. The volume reverts back to a default? low level. How can I retain the volume I assign in Garage Band, so that when the song moves to iTunes it doesn't revert?

Printing from InDesign CS4 on Mac Snow Leopard to HP officejet pro K5400
I recently started using a Mac Snow Leopard with InDesign CS4; for awhile it printed fine. Then, dealing with a book mss, I had to get InDesign to convert the document to a PDF, and since that time, the Officejet Pro k5400 will only print in what appears to be the best quality, even when I tell it to print in fast draft, and even set that as a preset. Anybody had that problem? Anybody have any suggestions as to what is going on here? How can I get the printer to print in fast draft? Thanks for any help,

Hello, I have macbook pro, late 2008, OS X 10.5.8 and I want to upgrade to new soft, which one is the proper one for me Snow leopard or Mountain Lion, and what is the differences between those.
What do you recommend at this time for me.
Thanks a lotYou can upgrade to Mountain Lion, but you have to upgrade to Snow Leopard first. Buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Then, make a backup, insert the DVD and upgrade. After upgrading, open Apple menu > Software Update and install the most recent version. Mac OS X 10.6.8 includes the App Store, so open it and purchase Mountain Lion. See if your programmes are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com -
Can I upgrade from osx tiger v10.4.11 to osx Snow Leopard v10.6 for 29$ ??
I was wondering if I could upgrade from osx tiger v10.4.11 to osx Snow Leopard v10.6 for 29$ or at a lower cost than full price. I do not need to upgrade that much because 10.4.11 is so great and I hate to leave it. Paying the full price of an operating system does not make sense to me. Can I do it cheaply because I am upgrading?
No.
The $29 upgrade is from leopard to Snow Leopard. -

There is your problem. DVDs that ship with a Mac are machine specific. You will need to purchase a retail copy of the DVD $29.
