Upgraded to Snow Leopard & am not able to launch PS CS3 extended. Says I need Java SE 6 runtime.

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard (OS 10.8.2) from Lopard and am now not able to launch Photoshop CS3 extended. I get a warning that says: To open “Adobe Photoshop CS3,” you need to install a Java SE 6 runtime. Would you like to check for and install one? But when I click on "Install" I'm told it is currently unavailable. I need PS to work! What can I do!?

Manually download and install it from Oracle.

2007ish IMAC upgraded to Snow Leopard, almost not functioning at all...

I have an Imac 2006/7 I upgraded to snow leopard and it has been froze up ever since. Called Apple, they said buy RAM I did, installed it. Still freezes. After trying to click around I eventually get a message "Your Mac OS x disk has no more space available for application memory" To avoid problems with your computer, quit any applications you are not using. Closing windows and removing files from your start up disk, will also help" Any thoughts?

For the trash, try restarting and then attempt to empty.

I am just going back to using my iMac. Had to upgrade to snow leopard and not want to upgrade to OSX Mavericks. I can't get the install because it is currently at 10.9.1. Where can I find the 10.9 version so I can upgrade "pre-patch"?

I am trying to install (upgrade to) Mavericks from Snow Leopard (10.6.8). However, the current version of Mavericks is 10.9.1. I'm being told that I can't do this upgrade without 10.9. Any ideas as to where I can find the straight 10.9 (pre-patch) version of Mavericks?

The version on the App Store for Mavericks is 10.9.1 and it's the full installer.
The only time you would need 10.9 is if you were installing the delta download of 10.9.1 from Apple's Software Update Support page.
So, just go to the App Store and you will be able to download/install Mavericks 10.9.1 without the need of 10.9.

Macbook upgrade to Snow Leopard will not complete install stuck with reboot screen, turned on off numerous times same scree

I have a Macbook with the Leopard OS, up to date. I decided to install Snow Leopard. Everything went smoothly until the window came up requesting me to restart the laptop after the install. I have done this numerous times same window keeps coming up after restart. I would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
R A

Thank you Watts 300. I unfortunately cannot get the Mac to reboot. I have taken the SL disk out and reinserted a number of times, however the screen remains with the restart message. Crazy.I can power it off but the same restart message keeps appearing.

I am not able to install firefox as it says I need to restart my computer to update an older version

I was cleaning up my laptop b/c it was running too slow and I uninstalled firefox with the plan of reinstalling it after I had gotten rid of everything I wanted to get rid of. Now when I try to reinstall it I am told I have an older version which needs to be updated and I should restart my computer to make that happen. Restarted computer 5 times and have gotten nowhere. I don't believe I have an older version on my computer as I pretty much deleted every single thing I ever downloaded or saved (on the plus side my computer is running much faster). Please help.

If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
You may need to remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Time Capsule backup not working anymore after upgrade to Snow Leopard

Hi,
after I upgraded to Snow Leopard I started the backup process with the time capsule. Within several days I tried this about 5 times and the iMac crashed or froze after some time doing the backup - but it never completed.
I then deleted the whole content of the time capsule and started a fresh backup. Now I receive a message after some gigabyte that there was a problem and I should try it again. Again the backup has not finished so far. I tried to reduce the amount of files to backup by excluding folders - no chance. Since the upgrade to snow I was not able to complete one single backup.
Any ideas or similar experience?

I have had a similar problem. I have the latest 1TB Time Capsule and backup worked fine in Leopard. I am backing up over my home wireless network. The backup starts, but at some point it freezes with the spinning pizza wheel if I click on anything. Everything freezes with no possibility of force quitting any application.
I tried trashing the plist for Time Machine, but that didn't work. Tonight I'm going to try a backup with the computer connected to the Time Capsule by Ethernet.
I can access my existing Time Machine backups on the Time Capsule.
This is a frustrating situation. But for this, SL works great, but this problem is a critical one.

Any reasons to be worried about upgrading to Snow Leopard?

I have a Mac book with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I would like to upgrade to Snow Leopard to be able to run a piece of software that requires it. But, I'm nervous about doing the upgrade and breaking my machine in any way. My wife would kill me if something went wrong. Will Snow Leopard run well on my machine?

How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your current Tiger Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and later.) 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. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) 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.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
C. Important: Please read before installing:
If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update. While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
D. To upgrade:
Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
Restart the computer.
Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
Wait for installer to finish loading.
E. If updating:
Download and install update(s)
Use Software Update, or
Download standalone updater(s).

Slow/jerky transitions after upgrading to Snow Leopard

Hi,
I've just built a short iMovie and have noticed that my transitions (cross dissolve and cube) are very slow / jerky / not smooth after upgrading to Snow Leopard. Any one else having this problem?

Yes LS needs a update to work with the changes in 10.6.8, so does Parallels.

My Imac fails when I try to upgrade from Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have to boot up from disk. Does anyone know how to overcome this problem?

My iMac fails when I try to upgrade from Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have to boot up from disk. Does anyone know how to overcome this problem?   I need to upgrade in order to install latest software.

It would be lovely to know what your talking about. Upgrading from Snow Leopard does not involve discs.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase a redemption code at the Online Apple Store: OS X Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. Use the code to redeem a download of Mountain Lion from the App Store. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later.
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model
             Identifier 5,1 or later.
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later.
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

Upgrading to Snow Leopard & replacing battery on MacBook Pro 06

So I have a MacBook Pro, running Tiger, that I bought in November 2006. I have about 500$ to spend. I want to upgrade to Snow Leopard and the most recent version of iLife. I also need to replace the battery since it's dead (only lasts 20 minutes unplugged...).
Any suggestions on what I should buy exactly and how to proceed with the installation (meaning what to install first, and if I should format my computer before doing so)? Thank you!!

Purchase a new battery
Disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Boot from your install disc & run _*Repair Disk*_ from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select *Disk Utility.*
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click *First Aid.*
Click _*Repair Disk.*_
Restart your computer when done.

Not able to install anything fully after upgrade to Snow Leopard

I haven't been able to install anything after upgrading to Snow Leopard yesterday. Anything program i do try to install just bouces on the dock

Try installing the update again from here
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1048
This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
