    When do the automatic update of version 10.6.2. to version

    Does anyone know how to solve this? I happen to other customers?

    Hi slbruilima
    The best way to bring the system up to date from 10.6.2 is to download and install the 10.6.4 Combo Update from the following link. > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1048

  • HT200100 could i update snow leopard directly to OSX mountain lion?

    could i update snow leopard directly to OSX mountain lion?

    Yes, you can upgrade directly to OS X Mountain Lion from OS X Snow Leopard. Just buy it in the App Store. It'll take a while to download and install, so you might want to run it overnight. And don't forget to make a backup first!

  • Updating Snow Leopard Server Software on Dual Intel Mac Mini

    I have a 2009 Mac Mini Dual Core 2.53 Intel with 4 gb Ram running as a server under 10.6.8 Max OSX Server.
    But I have never used the server capabilities and don't reallyneed them.
    The Boss, Wife, wants ITunes radio on it, but it won't work apparently unless you run 10.9.
    I tried updating to 10.9 server, but it wouldn't downlaod because the downloader said it needed to run under OSX 10.9.
    I am trying to download Mavericks to see if it'll install, but I'm guessing the server level security won't let it.
    How can I update to OSX 10.9  Server to basically keep her system as "same" as possible...so ITunes radio will work on it for her?
    Is there an easy way other than copy as much as possible to another HD, reformat the entire original Mini HD and start from scratch?
    I don't know if I can install another OS on it's second internal HD and just boot up from that one..since I think the server systen may not allow multiple boot drives?
    Is there an easy solution to updateing Snow Leopard Server to Mavericks? 

    Help appreciated Greatly.
    I downloaded Mavericks with no problem and held my breath to see if it would install OK.
    It did.
    No major issues and just about everything is working OK right out of the box.
    Transition from Snow Leopard Server to OSX Mavericks Single User OS went fine.
    Donlt have to worry about archane "Server Language" anymore and administerring this computer will be much easier.
    Hope it's a stable build.

  • HT2261 do i need to update snow leopard before updating to lion?

    i was wondering if i need to update snow leopard first before updating to lion?

    You need Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later in order to access the App Store where you purchase and download Lion. Snow Leopard is $29.00 at any Apple retailer or the Online Store.

    install 6.5 before proceeding further. I coud not understand.
    Just what it says - install os 10.6.5 before proceeding further.  You can either do so through Software Update or use the Combo update from Apple's download site.
    You should repair permissions and restart your computer prior to updating and upgrading.

  • I have installed the most recent version of Snow Leopard on my MAC, and I am trying to install Mountain Lion from the Apple Store.  It will not install, because it says I do not have 2GB of memory, even though I have over 200GB available.  Please help.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    One thing is the memory, and another thing is the hard disk space. You are telling me that you have 200 GB of free space on the hard disk, but the App Store is telling you that you have to install 2 GB of memory or more on your Mac if you want to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
    First of all, open  > About this Mac > More Info, and copy "Model Identifier" here, so we can know what Mac you have got and how much memory you can install.
    We recommend to buy the memory in OWC or Crucial (Crucial is cheaper and offers the same compatibility warranty as OWC) because you won't probably have any problem with the memory you buy there

  • I downloaded and installed Lion on an external hard drive using my laptop which is running Snow Leopard I have now decided that I want to install Lion on my Laptop, but when I go to the App store and click on my purchases it will not download

    I downloaded and installed Lion on an external hard drive using my laptop which is running Snow Leopard I have now decided that I want to install Lion on my Laptop, but when I go to the App store and click on my purchases it will not download again

    Thanks Dirk,
                         Tried your suggestion various ways but it had no effect the download button was still greyed out and the install button would not activate will keep trying to find a solution. I dont want to boot from the external hard drive that has Lion on mainly because it is a usb HD and the connection to my wireless modem slows the connection rate and downloading would take about ten hours

  • My 2006 iMac running Snow Leopard won't boot even after erasing and re-installing Snow Leopard (via my MacBookPro), either from the HD or DVD drive.  Can't get it to run Hardware Test.  Disk Utility says disk OK - files are there. What can I do?

    My 2006 iMac running Snow Leopard won't boot even after erasing and re-installing Snow Leopard.   I erased and re-installed by putting the iMac in Target Disk mode and usin my MacBookPro as the host.  But after numerous attempts I still can't get it to boot either from the HD or DVD drive. I just get the white screen after the wheel stops spinning.  I can't get it to run Hardware Test - just get the white screen.  If I use Disk Utility via my MBP it says the disk appears OK. All the Snow Leopad files appear to have been installed. What can I do?

    Perhaps you installed the wrong version OS X onto the iMac, you can't use the disk from another Mac.
    clean the disk.
    If it's not working then use this method to create a bootable 10.6 USB from the iMac machine specific 10.6 disk or the 10.6.3 retail disk on your other Mac, use it to boot the iMac with.

  • 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?

  • Re: New Garage Band - I have Mac OS X 10.6.8, Snow Leopard, and Garage Band 11.  If I download/install the new GB, will I lose GB 11?  And will it run on Snow Leopard?

    then had to find out (same as with this issue) that I presently have other software that will not run on Maverics.
    You could create a clone of your drive with all your current software, so you could continue to work with your Snowleopard software by booting from the clone, and upgrade your main system to Mavericks, if your computer supports Mavericks.    This way, you could have both, if the new features of Mavericks are interesting to you -  e.g-, iCloud syncing of multiple Macs, new sharing features, and for GarageBand automatic drummers and arpeggiators.

  • How to install Snow Leopard on Macbook Pro? keep getting msg- cannot install Internal HD is used for Time Machine- this was reset to external HD and still get msg?

    How to install Snow Leopard on Macbook Pro? keep getting msg- cannot install Internal HD is used for Time Machine- this was reset to external HD and still get msg?

    At some point, your internal HD was selected for use as Time Machine backups, and a Backups.backupdb folder was created at the top level.   So OSX thinks you're trying to install it on the same drive as your backups.
    Open your internal HD with the Finder (you won't find it via a Spotlight or Finder search) and delete that folder.

  • Updating Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion 10.8

    Hello to everyone on this forum,
    I'm new on this forum as from today on.
    My Mac is from 15th May 2011 : iMac 12,2 Intel Core i5 2,7 GHz mit 8 GB RAM memory and 27" screen.
    There is an OS Snow Leopard v. 10.6.8 on it.
    When there was an upgrade to te Lion available,  I saw a lot of negative comments about programs that did'nt work anymore with Lion , so I waited to upgrade my OS at that time. The upgrade was also about 30 Euro.
    Now that there is the Mountain Lion available and the upgrade price is 16 Euro, I may have do the upgrade.
    Question
    Is it possible to do the upgrade from my Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion 10.8 without having upgraded before to Lion (the upgrade in between) without any problems - programs which don't work anymore  (anyone on this forum in the same situation as me and already having bad experiences with it) ?
    Otherwise  I stay with my Snow Lepard as long as I can, because now all programs are working good.
    Anyone an idea of how you are being told (by Apple ?) you can't wait anymore ( in the future) to an upgrade of your OS ?
    Thanks for your comments and experiences and recommendations about the upgrade.

    Yes. You can upgrade directly from Snow Leopard v10.6 to Mountain Lion.
    As for app compatibility, click here >  App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS
    Anyone an idea of how you are being told (by Apple ?) you can't wait anymore ( in the future) to an upgrade of your OS ?
    The issue is that Apple is not responsible for updating third party software. That is the responsibility of the app developer regardless of which Mac OS X you have installed.
