Trying to update snow leopard but I cant upload the update.

Trying to update snow leopard but it keeps saying - The file “SUBaseSystemCombo10.6.8.pkg” couldn’t be found on the server “swcdn.apple.com”.

  • Our imac runs osx snow leopard but it cant find the hard drive or it is corrupt, is it possible to reboot it with osx lion?

    our imac recently displayed the white screen and flashing file icon with a question mark on it, it runs osx snow leopard but i dont have the installation disc, can i reboot it off the osx lion disc? or do i need to buy the snow leopard disc and reboot it off that first.  thanks for your help in advance!

    Yes you can. If the iMac meets the system requirements for Lion then you can boot it off the Lion disc (which is actually a USB drive, unless you download and burn it yourself).

  • I am trying to download snow leopard, but with around 46 mins to go, a message appears saying, my coup is going to restart,it does but with just the apple logo,and white screen, nothing else,can anybody help? jib.

    I think we need more clarification.
    What do you mean by "download"? Only updates are available as downloads, the System software has to be installed from a DVD.

  • I have OS X 10.5.8 on my iMac, I'm trying to install Snow Leopard. When I insert the disk and click install it will start to install, then once it gets about 1/4 of the way done my computer restarts and it spits the disk back out.

    I have OS X 10.5.8 on my iMac, I'm trying to install Snow Leopard. When I insert the disk and click install it starts, but when its about 1/4 of the way done the computer restarts and my disk spits back out. When I look to see if it installed it still says 10.5.8. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

      Model Name: iMac
      Model Identifier: iMac6.1

    I bought the Mac OS X Snow Leopard Install DVD from the Apple Store.

  • When I go to whatismybrowser it says I am not uptodate but when I check updates it says I am I have snow leopard. but I cant open certain things on sites I use daily where others can see the missing items and photos what can I do

    I know you can not update Safari only with Snowleopard but the photos on sites I uses daily just have ? in them but all other users are able to see without issues

    You install the Firefox web browser
    https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/fx/#desktop
    Believe it or not, Apple is still issuing updates for Snow Leopard, it's true that Safari isn't version 6 like it is on later OS X versions, but it's still recieving security updates as Snow Leopard still has more that 25% of the OS X version market share still. It's just Apple doesn't announce the Snow Leopard updates past 10.6.8, which we are currently stuck at, so that website doesn't know.
    So that website isn't entirely correct, and neither are they correct about Java 6, Oracle and Apple are still issuing fixes and Apple maintains Java 6 for Snow Leopard users.
    See the chart here
    OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
    If you want more privacy and security with Firefox (like mine is in the picture above) then see this link
    Maintain some level of privacy/cookie tracking
    Harden your Mac against malware attacks
    Also make a bootable clones, you can run Snow Leopard forever as it's easy to just boot from the clone, erase and reverse clone everything back on.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    If you upgrade OS X to a later version via AppStore it's going to do this:
    1: Very possibly slow down your machine
    2: All your PPC based software will cease to function and other software will have to be replaced/upgraded for more money.
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    3: Purchase more RAM for your machine in order to meet the requirements of the later OS X versions (4GB+ is recommended)
    4: Your machine might not run the later OS X versions at all, thus your looking at buying a new Mac prematurely to keep up, despite the older one working just fine.
    Since I don't know what your machine is, if it's a laptop then I don't recommend any later OS X version than 10.6.8 if it's earlier than a 2011 machine.
    Desktops like iMac's likely 2009 or later is fine, any MacPro is fine.

  • I have Snow Leopard, But I cant upgrade to Mountain Lion, can I upgrade to Lion?

    I have an old MacBook, from 2006 and currently have Snow Leopard installed (after purchasing it in 2010), I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion mainly because I want the Xcode 4 which looks 100% better than the current Xcode I have. However, when I try to buy the OS X Mountain Lion it tells me I do not have the correct processor. After a little research I saw an article that said some OS X Lion users could not upgrade to Mountain Lion because Mac is no longer supporting its older models like MacBooks before 2008 or something like that.
    So this lead me to the idea maybe I don't have to upgrade to Mountain Lion, maybe I could upgrade to Lion and still be able to get Xcode 4. So, I tried to find a way to upgrade to OS X Lion, but I could only find the upgrade to Mountain Lion. Which is frustrating because I don't want to buy a brand new MacBook just to get Xcode 4, its nice, but not that nice. But Apple should allow me to at least upgrade to Lion, because they decided to no-longer support this older hardware I am still using.

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu; Lion requires a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU and at least 2GB of RAM. You don't need to buy a brand new Mac in any case.

  • Hi I am trying to install snow leopard and it keeps saying the install will resume when it restarts but it doesnt, Help any body?

    Hi I am trying to upgrade from leopard 10.5.8 to SL 10.6.3. I followed the instructions and it keeps rebooting before the install is complete. The screen says the install will continue when teh computer restarts but it doesnt, it puts me right back at the very begining. Agh help please.

    Snow Leopard doesn't require a restart to install.
    Are you booting from the install DVD?
    Restart your MacBook holding the Option key and select the install DVD.

  • Got a new hard drive for Snow Leopard, but what about all the applications?

    Hi,
    Installing Snow Leopard revealed a faulty hard drive, but Genius Bar got me a new hard drive and installed Snow Leopard and the rest of the Mac Box Set for me.
    I'm putting my computer back together, and I had all my files backed up on a Passport, but what do I do about the applications that I had? I could use a reinstallation of Office for Mac and Final Cut Express. Can I ask the companies directly?

    More reason to back up your +*entire system,+* whether with Time Machine, a "clone" app like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, and/or some other way.
    You should still retain the original discs, of course, but having a full system backup greatly reduces the chance you'll need them.
    For info on Time Machine, you might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial
    and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).
    For info on others, see Kappy's post on Basic Backup, complete with links to the web sites of each product.

  • MacBook 2.1 Intel Core 2 Duo 2GHz 2GB Late 2006. The harddrive died. Replaced with a WD 320. Have used TimeMachine with a WD160 for several months. Tried to install Snow Leopard and use restore from the TimeMachine backup. Will not start.

    Harddrive died and replaced it with a new WD 320. Used Snow Leopard to intall OS Disk Utility to Restore from TimeMachine. It appears to have 'pasted' the backup from TimeMachine on to the WD320. Tried to start OS and it says that WD320 is a backup and won't run from it. What do I do?

    I re-reinstalled Snow Leopard and restarted. It is working fine!!!!

    You need to buy 10.6.x DVD or flash drive (w/ Lion or Mountain Lion).
    Check Apple Store or call.

  • TS1440 When I start up, there is only the flashing folder with a question mark on it. When I tried to reinstall snow leopard, there is no hard disk to be found.

    After rebooting my computer, there is only the flashing folder with "?" on it. I tried several things like PRAM resetting and whatnot, but nothing worked. I then tried to reinstall Snow Leopard, but it appears there is no hard disc to be found to install it. I also wanted to repair the disk first but it wasn't present in disk utilities. Did I lose my hard drive, or is this still salvagable?

    That is evidence that your hard drive has failed and needs to be replaced.

  • Trying to install snow leopard on an iMac.

    My iMac is running 10.5.8 and I am trying to install Snow Leopard, but the machine keeps spitting the disk out without any prompt boxes.  The software was ordered from Apple and is fresh out of the package.  The machine accepts other disks just fine.  Am I missing something?

    Check the disc for smudges or scratches. Also check on a different machine. Bad discs are a rarity, but do happen. Last resort, call Apple and get a replacement.
