Unable to install Jacquie Lawson Edwardian Advent Calendar on Snow Leopard

I've been following the same thread on Mavericks, but the suggestions for that do not work/help with Snow Leopard (10.6.8). I have uninstalled and reinstalled everything (the calendar, Adobe Air) many times. The JL help is not helpful - they don't seem to grasp the problem.
The installation stalls on the cute little card that comes up saying "Your activation is in process. Please wait. . . " I have run the calendar last year with no probelm at all. What might be making the activation stall?

Solved! By PaddyD on the other thread for Maverick. Here is his reply:
After trying all the suggestions here, including dragging old JL stuff to the Trash from the Applications Folder, I decided to try reinstalling it. Before I did that, I removed all the JL Edwardian files from user->Library->Application Support (they're "/JLAdventCalendarEdwardian2013/ and jledwardianadventcalendar.air and then just for the heck of it, tried activating the app again and BINGO! It now works!! No reinstall necessary. Those files do get reinstalled when you activate.
This is on a Mac running 10.6.8, BTW. Your mileage may vary if you're running a different OS. I now have no idea whether removing the other JL apps from the Application folder had anything to do with it finally working. Dragging the old JL Advent Calendar apps back into the Applications Folder doesn't seem to cause any problems.

Unable to install Aperture 2.1.4 update on Snow Leopard

Hi Folks,
I have Aperture 2.1 installed on my Mac. When I try to install the 2.1.4 update, it quits by saying "Aperture 2.0 or later is required to install this update". And Snow Leopard wouldn't let me launch Aperture without this update. Has anyone else faced this issue? Any known workarounds?
This is a clean install of Snow Leopard and Aperture.
Also, Software Update doesn't show the Aperture 2.1.4 update either.
Thanks,
Deepak
p.s. As a workaround I am downloading the full 2.1.4 trial which I'll use with my retail serial.

I have been having the same difficulties since installing Snow Leopard. When I perform a "software update" Aperture updates are not listed. I manually downloaded the 2.1.4 update and was then unable to install it for the same reason as above; the original 2.1 version is not recognized as even existing on the computer.
Interestingly, I have the same issue with Safari. The program disappeared from my Mac Pro during the upgrade to Snow Leopard and when I downloaded the latest Safari program and tried to install it, the installer informed me that I had to have OS X v10.5.8 or newer in order to install this program; all partitions on the computer were indicated to be unsuitable for installation including the system (10.6.2) partition. This problem persists. So what gives?
Thanks for any help

Sorry but your post says that you downloaded HP drivers from Apple, not HP. Be careful with the information you provide if you want an accurate answer.

Can I Install My ML Time Machine Backup on Snow Leopard?

I have a Time Machine backup with Mountain Lion on it. Can I install this straight onto a Mac with Snow Leopard on it? If so, does it install the hidden Lion Boot Partition as well?

No.

Can i install an older version of OS X Snow Leopard than native?

Hi, I want to know if i can install an older version of OS X Snow Leopard than native...

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Your hardware isn't compatible with older versions, so you can't use it

I have 10.5.8 and want to install the new itunes 10.7, in order to sync the new nano , but i am unable to. Do I have to upgrade to snow leopard in order to sync new nano?

I have an imac (2009) with OS X 10.5.8 and i need to install the new itunes (10.7) in order to sync my new nano (7th generation). Do I have to upgrade my software to Snow Leopard in order to run itunes 10.7? How to I go about this?

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (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:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
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 all the way to Mountain Lion:

Minecraft Won't Launch Because of a Java or Root Certificate Error I Started Having When I Put The Install Disk in And Downloaded Mac OSX Snow Leopard

I need help. I recently tried opening Minecraft after re-installing Mac OSX Snow Leopard with the Mac OSX Install DvD and now every time I try to open the internet these stupid certificate errors come up and Minecraft says it can't launch because of a broken/missing root certificate

Hello Shelby,
Thank you so much for the details regarding the issue you are experiencing with the Snow Leopard installation. I recommend following these steps if you are having trouble installing Snow Leopard:
The installation wasn’t successful
If you were unable to install Mac OS X, try the following:
Disconnect any external devices you don’t need during installation.
Remove any cards from manufacturers other than Apple.
Try installing Mac OS X again.
If you were unable to install Mac OS X again, choose Utilities > Disk Utility. Select the disk on which you want to install, click First Aid, and then click Repair Disk. After repairing any problems, quit Disk Utility and then click Continue to try installing again.
If you’re still unable to install Mac OS X, try erasing the disk before installing Mac OS X. Before you erase your disk, try copying your files to an external disk. When you’re ready to erase and reinstall Mac OS X, follow the instructions in the “Restoring your computer to factory settings” section of this document.
I found this on page 7 of the Snow Leopard Installation Instructions:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Late 2008 mbp - installed new ssd - trying to boot from snow leopard iso on flash drive - says 'cannot install mac os on this computer'

Hello -
I just installed a new M500 Crucial ssd in my late 2008 mbp - everything was working fine on old hard drive (running snow leopard) but was getting slow and wanted to upgrade - i lost my snow leopard disk when moving from hawaii so i found an iso online - using a flash drive i partitioned the disk and made the bootable image on flash drive - formatted as extended/journaled - switched out the hard drives - plugged in the flash drive - started the comp - held option - install begins to boot - choose language - all is fine - choose english - next step window pops up saying 'cannot install os on this computer' - click on utility but all options are greyed out - disk util is greyed out - only options it gives is to start from backup or restart - real confused here - all help appreciated - thanks in advance and happy new year!

Snow Leopard comes in discs only. The USB drive may be a counterfeit and/or corrupt. There are two options for you:
Get replacement original OSX installation disks from Apple customer service. Have your MBP serial number ready and there is a charge.
Or two, purchase a Snow Leopard disk from the Apple online store:

Ciao.

Unable to find data after backup and installation of snow leopard

Lots of data has disappeared?
I backed up my data by dropping my hard disk icon onto an external drive, at the end of the copying process, i checked to see that the backup drive had used the same amount of file space that i had on the computer.
I then formatted my laptop and installed snow leopard, now when looking at the backup drive a cant see all my files?
i have done this at various other times without problems, any ideas

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

How can I sync "On My Mac" iCal calendars on Snow Leopard with iPhone and Google Calendar?

Hi,
(I've done a lot of searching for a clear answer but without success.)
Can someone please advise how I can get the "On My Mac" calendars on iCal v4.0.4 (running under Snow Leopard 10.6.8) to sync with an iPhone and Google Calendars, 'over the air' (i.e. not via iTunes) and both ways (two-way syncing).
There was a great bit of software called Spanning Sync which did it all but it's now discontinued. I'm running Snow Leopard and do NOT want to upgrade to OS Lion.
I've tried the iCloud route but it just creates an extra set of "@me.com" calendars under the "On My Mac" calendars - it is not syncing the "On My Mac" calendars themselves (and I want to use the "On My MAc" calendars as the master dataset (the 'Truth database' to use an Apple term!).
... And the same happens when I try to sync my Google Calendars: another set of "@google.com" calendars appear.
Now instead of 2 calendars in iCal I have 6: 2 On My Mac calendars, 2 iCloud ones, and 2 Google ones. (This is not progress Apple!)
Hope someone can advise.
Many thanks.

Thanks Winston. I'm aware that the 'on my mac' calendar doesn't get picked up by iCloud. I'm wondering whether anyone can help with the best alternative solution for synchronisation of phone and Outlook.

Can't install a stable Windows 7 on my Snow Leopard mid-2009 Macbook Pro via Botcamp

I just erased the whole disk with Disk Utility and re-installed a fresh version of Snow Leopard on my mid-2009 MacBook Pro with my original install disk and updated all the software.
I then created a 400GB partition via Bootcamp Assistant for Windows and successfully installed Vista.
I then successfully installed Windows 7 (not an upgrade) over Vista (I only have the official upgrade disk) and installed Bootcamp in Windows with the original OS X DVD.
I then upgraded Bootcamp from version 3.0 to 3.1 to 3.2 to 3.3 and then to 4.0.
None of these versions have resulted in a stable version of Windows 7 because the screen randomly turns one color (usually blue or white) with no cursor or interaction possible and I have to shut the computer down by holding the power button.
I've tried the whole process with 32 bit and 64 bit versions with the same results. The funny thing (not so funny, really) is that WIndows becomes increasingly unstable the higher I go with Bootcamp. I've even tried running the Vista to Windows 7 upgrade utility but Windows 7 is totally unusable. Once at Bootcamp 4 the system can't even get past the windows boot process.
I'm pulling my hair out here because I can't think of anything else to try. I'm suspecting the problem is driver related.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I suggest you start over with the install of Windows. You can use an Upgrade version of Win 7 to do a Clean install.
Basically you have to Not put in the license key when asked and also uncheck the option to Auto Activate Windows when the system gets online, mThen once it is installed and you are at the desktop go to the System applet in Control panel and Select Activate Windows. Then put the license key in.
If for some reason that doesn't work then you do a second install of Windows7 over the top of the current install and that make the installer think you are Upgrading and the Activation will go through.
It is all covered over at the Windows 7 forum.

HOW DO I INSTALL DISK OF MY NEW 10.6 SNOW LEOPARD ? NEW MAC DO NOT HAVE DVD ACCESS . BUT I WORK ON OLD MAC 10.4.11 TIGER THAT DO HAVE DVD ACCESS . HOW DO I CONNECT NEW AND OLD TO MAKE IT WORK ? THANKS

HOW DO I INSTALL DISK OF NEW 10.6 SNOW LEOPARD ? NEW MAC DO NOT HAVE DVD ACCESS . BUT I WORK ON OLD MAC 10.4. TIGER THAT DO HAVE DVD PLAYER . I KNOW THAT SHOULD BE EAZY . THANKS

You'll need to provide some more information .... what current mac mini do you have? Click on the apple in the left corner of the menu bar, click about this mac, and what does it say for processor, memory, and os x version?
When you say you have no DVD, do you have the mac mini server or is the DVD broken?
You can't do anything with 10.6 Snow Leopard on a PowerPC mini, however, if it is an Intel-based mini, you could probably hook up the systems in target disk mode to install 10.6.

Install Windows 7 now or wait for Snow Leopard (bootcamp 3?)

What should I do? I just received my RTM copy of Win7 and I'm debating whether or not I should wait for the Snow Leopard release to install it.
I wonder if it will be better supported with bootcamp 3. Any (quick) advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I definitely agree with Hatter, it was the easiest installation with Bootcamp I've experienced with a Windows OS and I'm currently running Leopard.

How do you install Perforce as daemon on OS X Snow Leopard Server?

I recently purchased a mac mini with Snow Leopard Server, and I am interested in installing Perforce as a daemon. I am familiar on how to do this on a Linux distro, but not so much on Snow Leopard Server. Is there some documentation that explains how daemons are configured on a mac? If so a link would be nice.
For my use case, I have the p4d executable. Basically what I am looking for is a way to integrate it as a service like the rest of the default services which ship with the product.
As a fall back, if this can't be done, the minimum I'm looking for is a way to configure it to start via a mechanism like init.d or the mac equivalent.

Some newly discovered info:<br>
This bug is specific to 64-bit versions of Firefox. Starting in Firefox 4 Beta 7, [http://boomswaggerboom.wordpress.com/2010/11/10/firefox-4-for-mac-os-x-under-the-hood/ Firefox is offered as a i386/x86_64 universal binary] to Mac users, and defaults to 64-bit mode on OS X 10.6.
If you run Firefox in 32-bit mode, you should see the QT plugin again. Like I said earlier, the bug is marked as blocking the release of Beta 8, which means that if everything else is finished for Beta 8, it won't be released until this bug is fixed.
