Upgrading Boot Camp 2.1 to 3.0? Does Snow Leopard upgrade it?

On a Windows partition, does the Snow Leopard disk perform an upgrade on earlier versions of Boot Camp, or does it require the removal of the previous version of Boot Camp before the new installation?
I have not seen any clear direction from Apple on this.
I would appreciate any thoughts and experiences.
Thank you very much!

  • Update Flash after doing Snow Leopard upgrade

    Just as an FYI: I upgraded from 10.5.8 to 10.6 this morning. Before the upgrade I had the latest version of Flash (10,0,32,18). After the upgrade I had an earlier one--I don't remember which one exactly, but it was something like 10,0,23,? or so. You can check your Flash version here:
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    Anyway, be sure to update Flash after you do the Snow Leopard upgrade.

    Sounds like you've damaged your system by forcing it to quit and restart in the middle of installing. You probably also had something wrong with your machine that was interfering with the installation in the first place, as the Snow Leopard installer is ordinarily pretty good at failing without damaging anything if something causes it to fail.
    I would advise [repairing the hard drive with Disk Utility|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417]. If that fails, you'll need to erase and repartition the hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard from scratch. If repair works, but you still can't boot, you probably have corruption in important system files. You could try installing Snow Leopard over it at this point, while booted from the Snow Leopard disk. If repair shows no problems, post back here, as you've got something a little more exotic than simple hard disk damage going on.
    Do you have a backup? If not, it's possible all your data might be gone at this point, depending on what exactly has gone wrong with your computer. You can try to back up from Disk Utility running from the Mac OS X install disk... see the Restore tab. You'll need an external hard drive to which to copy.

  • Does Snow Leopard upgrade have the option to do a clean install?

    If you buy the snow leopard upgrade, can you still erase and install over, say 10.4 or 10.5? If I have 10.5 can I wipe it out and just install 10.6 using the upgrade?

    yes, you can. boot from the snow leopard dvd, use disk utility to erase the main hard drive and proceed with the install.

  • Upgrade Boot Camp 4 to Boot Camp 5?

    I want to install Windows 8.1 on a mid-2010 iMac (OS X 10.7.5) with Boot Camp 4.0.4.  Do I need to upgrade OS X to Mavericks to get Boot Camp 5.1 since Boot Camp 4 doesn't support Windows 8.1?

    bootcamp are 3 things
    1
    boocamp app which let one setup the partitions and the likes from osx
    2
    a bootloader it just let you direct the boot to the osx partition or windows depending on your choice
    3
    a zip file with windows drivers for the mac hardware
    if one have a windows setup 1 is no longer and option
    2 is rarely changed and not likely to have changed between 4 and 5
    3 is a zip file that anybody can install and change as they see fit
    I had Lion which was bootcamp 4.x.y and installed win7 and upgraded to win8 without making a new install
    then I upgraded to mtn lion and then to win8.1 and then from mtn lion to maverics
    all using the org bootcamp installation

  • Upgrade Boot camp Beta 1.4 to 2.1??

    How can I get a Boot Camp update 2.1 without having to buy Leopard OS?
    I run Tiger on my MBP and apparently the Apple SU for BC2.1.exe does not run unless you have BC2.0, which is only available through Leopard OS.
    I understand the marketing tactics, but please....

    You are updating the BootCamp / Apple drivers and services.
    Like any OS update/patch, plan for the worst, and hope for the best. And no, you aren't looking at a full reinstall. However, it is my opinion, that Leopard is more significant than some thought; that the partition tables have changed which now allows for resizing and creating partitions, does have some risks.
    Some had minor glitches: Option key didn't show Windows; or it didn't show OS X (never both!), or one system didn't show in Startup Disk.
    I'm big fan of "backup and reformat your drives with the new OS version of Apple utility" and don't do OS X update in place or even Archive Install. If you have Leopard working fine, you're over that hurdle.
    Can't hurt to take a couple hours most to use WinClone so if needed, you can restore Windows back to how it was. I would, having just spent 2-3 days on Vista. Took a full day to upgrade Vista to SP1 plus all patches and updates, along with all the applications, and then a day of backup sets etc.
    BootCamp. Assistant to partition. A control panel in Windows. A set of features. A set of services and drivers to support motherboard chipset and such.
    Windows doesn't run inside or under BootCamp, though installing using BootCamp Assistant does add MBR support to allow XP to be installed - and that is likely the only place that matters.
    Some people have had trouble upgrading BootCamp 2.0 to 2.1. Can say the same about most every OS X update, even Safari 3.2 (see MacFixit) has caused trouble for some, as can any security update, or 10.5.5 or any other update or upgrade or software (like iTunes 8).
    What it is suppose to do and what can happen, and what preparations to take, and how well you keep and maintain your system and backups, is up to you. But I also think there was less planning and QA.

  • I cannot upgrade Boot Camp 3.3 to 5.1.5621

    I have downloaded the 5.1.5621 new version of Boot Camp but it refuses to open. When I go to boot camp, there is no provision for upgrading either. If I try to open this update on OS X, it says I should go to Windows and open Boot Camp, but this does not work either.
    Why can't there be a simple way to upgrade ? Beats me.
    Why I want to do this ? : It seems to me that upgrading Boot Camp is the only way I could obtain the latest drivers I need, because I am constantly advised that Intel(R) Turbo boost Technology driver has a problem, also Intel(R)5 Series chipset family 3B36 needs reinstalling and, finally, also 3B3B.
    Could someone please advise the way to proceedwith this upgrade ? Thanks

    how old is your imac? refer to this;

    it will tell you the most up to date version of bootcamp available for your particular model.

  • Does Snow Leopard Affect Boot Camp?

    If you have a Mac with Leopard on it, and a Boot Camp partition with Windows XP, is it safe to upgrade Leopard to Snow Leopard? What I'm saying in, will it affect the Boot Camp partition at all, or will that be left untouched?
    Basically, I want to know if there is any chance Boot Camp won't working properly, after upgrading to Snow Leopard.

    Reuben,
    Installing Snow Leopard will have no effect, as has already been stated in this thread. However, there are new Bootcamp drivers in the DVD One of the nice things about them is they bring HFS+ support to Windows. In other words, you can now access your installation of OS X, but as read only (to prevent Windows viruses messing with the "Mac side").

  • My MACBOOK Pro turned out to be Snow Leopard, and later upgraded to LION. And update the EFI, I would like to replace the Snow Leopard, EFI can not boot, how do? How to use the Snow Leopard install disk to reduce EFI?

    My MACBOOK Pro turned out to be Snow Leopard, and later upgraded toLION. And update the EFI, I would like to replace the Snow Leopard, EFIcan not boot, how do? How to use the Snow Leopard install disk to reduce EFI?

    Do you mean some of your software does not work in Lion? Do you want to return to using Snow Leopard? If so, then do this:
    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

    The only observations are that the backup drive is deemed too small and the quite long list of diagnostic reports dated between  Jan 18, 2015 (which I believe is the day I upgraded to Yosemite) & today the latest Yosemite update was installed on Jan 28, 2015
    Any further assistance will be appreciated

  • Tiger to Snow Leopard upgrade fails  with buffer overflow

    I'm not sure where to proceed with the following situation:
    I have a 17" MB pro with 1GB memory and 22GB free hard drive space. I booted into the installer from the CD and stepped through the prompts without changing any options to the point where the install starts doing it's magic. Shortly after starting, the install will crash complaining about a buffer overflow during/just after the part where it's finding system files.
    I originally tried to do this with only 10GB free, but after the first failure, I did a repair disk using the Disk Utility and removed a bunch of really old files I no longer needed, which brought the available disk space to 22GB, but this did not help anything. At this point, I'm not sure what to do. I use Carbon Copy Cloner as a backup so I can do a full wipe and install, however I would prefer to avoid that as it is a lot of work to get things back.
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
    Error log follows. I cut out a lot of stuff so please let me know if that detail is needed.

    Regarding the need to buy the packaged bundle, I keep seeing folks here and elsewhere claiming that is not necessary.
    That's because they have not read, or concern themselves with the license agreement. Section 2. "Permitted License Uses and Restrictions", section C says on http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/macosx106.pdf
    It's been read forwards, backwards, and upside down. Nowhere on the packaging is there any identification of the $29 (or $49 family pack) version as only suitable as a "Leopard upgrade" version. There are vague mentions about it on Apple's online sales page and in press releases. I've read the license terms thoroughly and the only conclusion that could reasonably be conferred is that the $29 version carries a "single user" license simply because it doesn't say "family pack". There are plenty of reports that it installs over Tiger just fine.
    Granted I've read numerous reports and I installed my copy over Leopard. However - imagine someone who vaguely heard about it, walked into a store and bought a copy, thoroughly looked over the box and the license terms (within the disc), and installed it in good faith over Tiger. There is ZERO, ZIP, NADA on the package that would lead anyone to believe it is anything but a copy with a "SINGLE USER" license where the terms don't preclude installing over Tiger.
    C. Leopard Upgrade Licenses. If you have purchased an Upgrade for Mac OS X Leopard license, then subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you are granted a limited non-exclusive license to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-branded computer as long as that computer has a properly licensed copy of *Mac OS X Leopard already installed on it.*
    The emphasis above is mine.
    While this may not be enforced by a software key, it is there in the license agreement on the PDF included on the CD, when you purchase the under $100 licenses, which are also called "Upgrade" on the store.
    There's an opinion that "Leopard upgrade" only applies to the "Up To Date" versions that require proof of purchase of a recent Mac computer. The reports on those installer discs are that they do in fact check for a valid Leopard installation.
    The following has the most in-depth discussion on the subject of whether or not the license allows for Snow Leopard over Tiger that I've seen so far:
    http://www.mackb.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/mac/26361/the-29-purchase-price-of-Snow-Leop ard
    This is the best description I've heard on it, from someone who identifies himself as "David Empson":
    http://www.mackb.com/Uwe/Threads/Single.aspx/mac/26361?ArtId=1j5mofd.1pw6lllbtpj dwN%25dempson%40actrix.gen.nz
    If someone walks in and buys Snow Leopard, without written notice from
    Apple that they are buying an Upgrade version which requires Leopard,
    and without discussing that point with the seller, the buyer is under no
    obligation to have researched their purchase in advance and know all of
    Apple's publicity statements from three months ago.
    They are buying it in good faith, and the contract (licence) is valid.

  • Can you format your hard-drive while upgrading from Leopard do Snow Leopard (upgrade version)?

    Hello,
    I want to purchase Snow Leopard (upgrade version) but I was planning on doing a format when installing it.
    Is it possible?

    I want to purchase Snow Leopard (upgrade version) but I was planning on doing a format when installing it.
    Is it possible?
    Yes, the 10.6.3 white retail disk can upgrade 10.5 to 10.6 via the installer, but you can also hold c  or option key down while booting from the disk and use Disk Utility to Erase and then install 10.6 fresh.
    Naturally all programs and user file will be removed, so you need to backup files first and take stock of your programs that will have to be reinstalled again from original sources.
    To get the white 10.6.3 disk, call Apple via the phone, it's not sold online anymore, or search Amazon.com or amc related websites for the disk.

    However if you choose to upgrade over 10.5, keeping your programs and files (backup files regardless) intact and it proceeds just fine, but want to improve the performance, you can use this method

    If your upgrading from 10.5 to get to 10.7 or 10.8, I don't advise it. Software Update to 10.6.8 max and stay there, your machine is too old.

  • Spectacular failure of Snow Leopard upgrade

    So I took my 2 week old MBP and a freshly opened family Snow Leopard upgrade media pack and started the upgrade as instructed. After the initial copying finished and it rebooted, I got stuck on the initial grey boot screen. It spent about 30-40m spinning with no status updates when I reset the laptop and ejected the disk. And, well, I'll just let this picture do the talking...

    It appears that somehow the install activated the dvd writer and etched out about 20% of the disk. I hadn't had any problems with the one other disk I'd installed software from previously.
    I'm guessing I'm going to have to replace the DVD drive but I thought I'd share. Anyone else ever have anything like this happen to them?

    Same here. SuperDrive failure immediately after inserting SL install disk. Drive will not physically load anything. Even weirder - I bought an Iomega external DVD drive and when I tried to install SL I got a message saying that it could not be installed on the iMac as it is non-Intel. The problem is that it is a 2008 aluminium IntelCore Duo model! Pretty disappointing!!

  • Leopard to Snow Leopard upgrade fail

    Hello,
    My disk utility to me that myt hard drive needed to be repaired so I decided to reformat it completely.
    I also have a windows partition on the drive. After reinstalling Leopard I deleted the windows parition.
    After this I started the Snow Leopard upgrade. Everything was going ok but when I went back to it the screen was dimmed so much that only a faint outline of the window can be seen. I have no idea what to do. It's been like this for over 2 hours.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    TIA Rose

    If you have an aluminium keyboard, does pressing F2 (brightness up) do anything?
    Otherwise, since you've just blitzed the disk, it hardly matters if you power the machine down, boot off the Snow Leopard disk, use Disk Utility from the Tools menu to blank the partition again, and do the install.
    Note that you don't need to install Leopard, you can just install Snow Leopard on the disk directly.
    By the way, hard disk repairs are a normal part of life, you don't need to be so drastic as to reformat! Just boot off the appropriate install DVD and run Disk Utility from the Tools menu there, and choose Repair.
