  • Can I install Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) on my new MacBook Pro?

    Hi all, I'm user of Mac since lot of time and I`ve got a question. I have bought a Macbook Pro on September 2011 and it cames with Lion and no installation disc. Can I downgrade this Macbook Pro with Lion preinstalled to Snow Leopard with SL Retail disc?

    Not with a retail disc — it doesn't contain a recent enough version of Snow Leopard to boot the machine. You'll need to obtain duplicates from Apple of the discs that would have been shipped with your machine before the release of Lion. Call Customer Relations at the number below and ask to have them sent to you for a small fee.

  • My MacBook Pro, 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo gives me an error message during Lion install. My Intel Duo Core is not an Intel Duo Core and cannot install Lion.  I already have Snow Leopard what is the problem with Lion?

    My MacBook Pro, 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo gives me an error message during Lion install. My Intel Duo Core is not an Intel Duo Core and cannot install Lion.  I already have Snow Leopard what is the problem with Lion?

    You need a "Core 2 Duo" for lion, and I'm guessing you only have a "Core Duo"  My wife's macbook is also a "Core Duo" and has Snow Leapord, but cannot install Lion.....

  • When printing from aperture my margins are unequal, even if i set my margins they come out bigger one side  and not the other. i am using a macbook pro running osx lion and printing with a canon pro 9000

    when printing from aperture my margins are unequal, even if i set my margins they come out bigger one side  and not the other. i am using a macbook pro running osx lion and printing with a canon pro 9000.
    please can anbody help or advise?

    You didn't mention any color calibration being done on your monitor.  This is an essential part of any color-correct workflow.  What are you using to calibrate your monitor (and your printer)?
    Print profiles (for soft-proofing as well as printing) are for specific combinations of paper & printer.  The nine you have are each, most likely, for a common paper (perhaps mfr'd by Canon) to be used with your printer.
    I don't know what you mean when you say "I choose a high standard print option".
    Have you read the User Manual chapter on printing?

    There is also a good appendix on calibration:

  • Can I install Mac OS X 10.5 on a Powerbook G4 already running Mac OS X 10.6? I lost my disc of 10.6 and can only find my 10.5 disc as I'm selling my MacBook and wiping the hard drive for a complete reset.

    A PowerBook G4 can't run Snow Leopard OS 10.6, however, it can run Leopard OS 10.5. But you must use a retail (black) Leopard install DVD.
    What does the selling of your MacBook have to do with installing Leopard on your PowerBook?

  • Can't install mac os x on macbook pro anymore(now i have windows 7 on it)

    Hi,
    I have a macbook pro, there was mac os x 10.6.4 on it, after that I installed windows 7 on it, because i wanted a clean instal, but I couldn't because a kernel panic when i booted from the dvd mac os x 10.5(that I received when i bought the macbook pro), I also have a 10.6 snow leopard dvd. So I installed windows 7.
    Now I can't install mac os x because of the kernel panic, I also tried a lot of dvd that i borrowed from friends, and I also bought a new mac os x snow leopard dvd ...
    the error is just: you need to restart your computer.....
    I tried also some key combinations on startup like: Command-Option-P-R keys,Command-Option-O-F,startup from dvd: pressing C on startup, pressing D on startup,pressing option on startup.
    I searched evrywhere but didnt found a solution
    Nothing helped so can someone help me please?
    Now i have just a windows 7, i realy want mac os x back, its a lot easier in the class...
    PS: I am a noob, so dont explain it hard please

    You are just throwing things that have no bearing and can cause trouble, there is no Open Firmware, Intel based Macs use EFI, OF was part of the older G4/G5 and PowerMacs.
    Unplug everything but keyboard and boot from 10.6 DVD.
    Boot from Windows 7 DVD if you want and instead of installing, format the entire hard drive as NTFS and then try OS X DVD.
    But first and foremost.... where is your backups? do you have OS X on external drive? how about putting OS X on external hard drive?
    And you're sure this is a kernel panic? a prohibitory sign maybe?

    Start your Mac while holding the X key down. That should force your Mac to start using the OS X partition.

  • My MacBook Pro is still running the OS X 10.5.8, can I install the Mavericks directly? Or could you advise which latest system is able to be installed for my notebook?

    Hello, my MacBook Pro is still running the OS X 10.5.8, can I install the Mavericks directly? Or could you advise which latest system is able to be installed for my notebook?

    First up, we don't know what kind of MacBook you have so we can't tell you what OS you can run.  You can use this instruction to identify which MacBook model you have:  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1635.  Alternatively, from the Apple menu open "About this Mac".  From the window that pops up, click "More Info".  This will open the system profiler.  Click "Hardware" and locate the model identifier, there.
    Next, you need to determine if your system can even run Mavericks before you can go about installing it.  These are the requirements:
    To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
    iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
    MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
    MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    Your Mac also needs:
    OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
    2 GB or more of memory
    8 GB or more of available space
    Lastly, as you'll note from the above, you can't update to Mavericks (or Mountain Lion or Lion) from 10.5.8.  Mavericks is only available in the App Store.  You need to be running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) in order to download and install any OS from Lion (10.7) and up.  You can buy Snow Leopard here:  http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

  • Will my MacBookPro3,1 Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.4 GHz with 4GB Ram run Mountain Lion?

    Hi everyone. I have a MacBookPro3,1 Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.4 GHz with 4GB Ram — will it run Mountain Lion? My hard drive has 615 Gigs of free space. If so, is it worth it for me to upgrade? Will all the new features be available to me. Presently I am running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53). I heard that there is an update 8.1 out there with developers as of yesterday.
    Thanks.

    Hi John.
    Yes, an erase and install sounds like a good idea. I just need to check my Adobe CS5 software to see if I need to upgrade the suite. If that is the case, then I may need to put it off for a bit. Thanks so much for your help.
    I have a newer MacBook Pro at work, but usually wait to upgrade it, till I've been running it at home on my personal computer for a while. Would hate for it to mess up my production schedule.
    Thanks again and have a good evening.

  • I have MacBook Pro 13-inch with retina early 2013 can I install windows on it because I tried but an error appear ( an error occurred while copying files)

    If you are on Yosemite, and have a CoreStorage volume (the default), it is not visible on the Windows side. The Apple HFS driver cannot read CS volumes.
    You can verify this by running the following command in OSX Terminal.
    diskutil cs list
    If you get any output, such volumes will not be visible.
    As a work around, if you really need it, check the 'Revertible' value. If it is yes, you can revert it to HFS+ by using the following command
    diskutil cs revert
    Here is the syntax for the command. The LVUUID parameter can be seen as a long string for your Logical Volume. Do not use the Logical Volume Group or any disk UUIDs. If you need the exact command, please post the output from the diskutil cs list command?
    diskutil cs revert
    Usage:  diskutil coreStorage revert
            MountPoint|DiskIdentifier|DeviceNode|lvUUID
            [-stdinpassphrase | -passphrase [passphrase] | -recoverykeychain file]
    Convert a CoreStorage logical volume back to its native type.
    The file system must be mounted and resizable (i.e. Journaled HFS+).
    Ownership of the affected disk and a passphrase (if encrypted) is required.

    First off you need to know the model identifier of the machine, not all Mac's can be reverted to Snow Leopard and not all Mac's can use the 10.6.3 Retail disk!
    To find the model identifier, boot the machine up and hold the command key and the spacebar, Spotlight appears at the top right corner and type in System Profiler and press Enter/Return.
    The model identifier should be something like "MacBook Pro 9,2" or something of that nature.
    You also can hold D while the computer is booting on/near a Internet connection for a long time and this loads Hardware Test, which one of the panes will give the required information.
    Next you download MacTracker here and look up your machine and it's original operating system.
    (Don't click the AppStore version obviously)
    http://mactracker.ca/
    You may have to right or control click on the program to bypass Apple's Gatekeeper and run the program.
    If you have the model identifier and the machine won't boot, then just ask here and we can tell you the information
    Now all Intel Mac's issued before July 2011 can install Snow Leopard, but the Mac's released after July 2011 came with OS X 10.7 Lion and the firmware won't boot off the Snow Leopard disk. (however 10.6 can be shoehorned on using Firewire Target Disk Mode and another Mac for some models after July 2011)
    Also the 10.6.3 Snow Leopard Retail Disk sold at Apple only works on Mac's that came with 10.4-10.6.2 from the factory.
    Any Mac's that originally came with 10.6.3-10.6.8 from the factory need model specific disks from Apple directly, not sold at their online store, you will have to call them with your Mac's serial number and order these disks.
    If you get the right disk and have the right machine, then you should be able to insert the disk and hold c down or the option/alt key and boot from the 10.6 disk.
    Follow these directions and make sure to erase the ENTIRE DRIVE first in Disk Utility or you will have issues later trying to fix it from the disk.

    --break--
    So we are entirely new to Apple products. I'm an IT guy, but have always been a windows user.
    So the Ipad with Retina Display is to be mine (and will use it at work for notes, organization, etc)
    The MINI is for the wife.
    But, are we allowed and can we.. buy an app and share that app between both devices? IE. Can I buy a copy of Angry Birds for the House and both Ipad's use that single purchase? and if so, can we still run the Ipads seperate other than to share the apps purchased. IE my facebook and email set up on mine and hers on her ipad mini?
    When I finally find a note taking app I like, can I share it on her ipad, without her having all my work files, etc?
    Thanks for helping out the apple noob. Hoping for a great experience, and anticipate droping $100 in apps the first day.. just don't want to do that twice. If this is against the usage policy, thats unfortunate but good to know. (I mean we can share stuff on PC as long as its in the same household)
    thanks again (explanations or links are fine)

    There are a number of Apple services: iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, Game center, Find My iPad, etc.
    Now, to share apps, music and books you need to have the same Apple ID:
    iPad's Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > Your purchasing Apple ID.
    For the other service, your wife should have her own Apple ID.
    All she needs is a valid e-mail address, apply Apple ID below:
