Virtual Desktop Apps and Snow Leopard Upgrade

I'm currently running most recent version of Parallels Desktop and I'm concerned that when I upgrade to Snow Leopard I will lose the use of PD until Parallels' updates their software. Unfortunately, I need to use Windows OS for school! Not much on Parallels' website yet.
I'm just wondering if I should wait to upgrade until parallels folks catch up?

According to http://kb.parallels.com/en/6637
Parallels Desktop 4:
Parallels Desktop 4.0 is compatible with Snow Leopard and can be installed on Snow Leopard Host, please make sure you are using the latest available build 3844. You might, however, experience some minor issues. We will release fully compatible Parallels Desktop 4 build to be installed on Snow Leopard soon.
We have following know issues with PD4 build 3844 and Mac OS X Snow Leopard:
1. Host Snow Leopard.
- QuickLook plugin crashes when trying to do preview on PVM bundle (crash invisible for user)
- Updater download but fail to install PD4 updates (workaround – close autoupdater and run installer manually)
- Mounter/Explorer fail to open PD4 disk images
- iPhone client fail to connect
- Taking snapshots very slow on host Snow Leopard
- Opening a web link from Windows in Mac Safari using Shared Internet Applications feature results in appending garbage to the link
- Snow Leopard 64bit host KP when connecting USB device
Depending how important windows is to you it might be worth waiting.

  • Mail app and Snow Leopard, Mountain Lion and Mavericks

    I have, and use, 3 different Macs, an older MacMini running Snow Leopard, an older MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion and a new MacBook Pro running Mavericks.  My personal email account, setup using the Mail.app, works fine on Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion.  On the MBP running Mavericks, I setup the Mail.app using the same settings as on Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion.  It doesn't work.  Nothing but timeouts.
    I've read a lot about the problems with Mavericks and IMAP and updated Mavericks apps, including Mail.  Still no go.  I'm not so much asking for help as registering that the IMAP problems aren't fixed.
    But if anyone has some ideas, I'm listening.
    Thanks all!
    Brenda

    I'd check to see if the latest version of the plug-ins are Snow Leopard compatible or not, unless you have a really large number of plug-ins to deal with, where you could just see what's broke and what's not, post upgrade. But beware of retaining the old ones. For example, 10.6 Mail broke the GPG-Mail plug-in that works under 10.5.x. Search the Snow Leopard Mail forum using the search phrase "GPG Mail" OR GPGMail OR "GPG-Mail" or other mail plug-in names of interest to you.

  • Trouble dragging emails to folder in Mail app after snow leopard upgrade.

    After upgrading to Snow Leopard, the mac mail app is not dragging emails into a folder (mailbox) the same as it was before. If I select multiple images, then drag them into a folder, it leaves some of them out, and only drags some of them, so I have to go back and find reselect the images it didn't move and drag them into the folder again.
    It doesn't always happen, but I find it happens most of the time. Anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions?

    Same issue here. Specifically, it seems to be an issue when the emails aren't all right next to each other.
    I thought 10.6.2 would fix it, but no such luck.

  • Lion won't operate my app and snow leopard came with my MacBook Pro

    I installed Lion without checking to see if it supported my "can't do without" app.  Now I'm in a panic.  One remedy is to reinstall Snow Leopard, but it came with my new laptop and I don't have any disks.  Is there a solution to that problem?  Is Lion just out of the question, never to be used?  Help! 
    Thanks to all.

    Your new computer came with Snow Leopard installer discs. If you've lost them you can purchase replacements at Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775. Or you can purchase a copy of Snow Leopard at any Apple Store for $29.00.
    To reinstall Snow Leopard you will have to first erase the hard drive. I hope that you have backups of your files. If not then be sure to make one before reinstalling Snow Leopard.

  • New Hard Drive and Snow Leopard Upgrade

    I'm getting ready to install a larger hard drive in my MacBook Pro. I am also going to install Snow Leopard. I assume that I just boot from the Snow Leopard disk after I install the new hard drive and it will walk me through the installation. Sorry if this is a dumb question. I'm new to Mac.
    Also, I have copied my files to an external hard drive. However, will I be able to access my old hard drive if I put it in an enclosure. This will give me access in case I missed something.
    Thanks in advance for your help and advice.
    Dave

    I am doing the same thing... an Apple Authorized Repair facility installed my new drive yesterday. They were supposed to create 2 partitions for me, but failed to do so. Instead, they just cloned my old hard drive over to the new one. This really *****, because Spotlight and System Profiler say that my disk capacity is only 200GB and available disk space 40GB (same as original drive).
    What do I need to do to create 2 partitions, one with FAT32 that is 25GB (for both Windows and Chrome OS/Ubuntu) and the other 615GB partition for OS X 10.6?
    The important caveat is that my Samsung Superdrive is dysfunctional, as discussed in this long thread.
    When I now try to use Disk Utility to Partition the drive, I get the error:
    "PARTION FAILED Partition failed with the error: Could not modify partition map because filesystem verification failed"
    And when I try to use Bootcamp Assistant to partition the drive, I get this error:
    "THE DISK CANNOT BE PARTITIONED BECAUSE SOME FILES CANNOT BE MOVED. Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
    Does this mean that Apple Computer has totally screwed me over? First they gave me a faulty Super drive, and then they install a hard drive without properly formatting the partition? What should I do now?

  • I have a desktop Mac OS X Leopard. I want to upgrade to Quicken 2007, Install Snow Leopard and download iLife '11. I heard that Quicken and Snow Leopard can clash and have problems.  What would be the best order for installing these products. Thank You.

    I have a desktop MAC OSX Leopard. I want to upgrade to Quicken 2007, install Snow Leopard, download iLife'11.  I heard that Quicken and Snow Leopard can clash..........that is why I am upgrading Quicken. What would be the best order of installing these products.  I have gotten defferent opinions and I want to be sure I install them correctly.
    Thank You.

    First, install OS X, then install your third-party software.
    How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
    A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
    Boot from your current OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 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:
      1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
      5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the
          Destination entry field.
      6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the
          Source entry field.
      7. 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:
      1. 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.
      2. 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.)
      3. 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:
          1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
          2. Restart the computer.
          3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
          4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple
              logo appears.
          5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
          6. Follow instructions.
    After installing Snow Leopard you should update it by downloading and installing Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • TS2986 I installed Snow Leopard, upgraded it to OS X 10.6.8, paid for and spent the hours necessary to download Lion, but Lion will not install.  Even though it says the requirements are 10.6.6 or greater, when I try to install, it says I need 10.7.

    I installed Snow Leopard, upgraded it to OS X 10.6.8, paid for and spent the hours necessary to download Lion, but Lion will not install.  Even though it says the requirements are 10.6.6 or greater, when I try to install, I get a message saying I need 10.7. to install Lion.  What should I do?

    Hi..
    Make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements.
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OSX v10.6.6 or later (V10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available spare
    From here > Apple - OS X Lion - Technical specifications
    If your Mac meets the requirements, installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo reinstalls the App Store for you which may help.
    Restart your Mac after instaling the combo installed. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8.
    If you have anti virus software installed, you may need to disable that in order to install Lion.

  • Can I partion my drive on macbook pro 10.5.8 to add snow leopard and not affect my leopard?  I'd like to run apps on snow leopard which cannot be run on leopard.

    I'd like to add snow leopard to my macbook pro which runs leopard 10.5.8 in order to run apps.  I do not want to mess with my original system and risk losing data.  Is that possible by just going to utilities and partioniong my drive?

    15 is probably enough.  And if you kept your home dir in a separate volume then you could use your same home dir on both leopard and snow leopard.  This is one of the reasons I recommend keeping the home dir on a separate volume.  Very convenient for switching OS's or needing to use a (backup) copy of the current OS.

  • Dual boot drive - Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard - Correct order to load software /apps?

    Hi
    I want to create a dual boot drive for Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard as some of my hardware (is not supported in Mountain Lion). 
    I am happy how to do this, I just want to know if there is a correct way to install software and apps.
    My plan was to do a clean install of both using two partitions, the larger going to ML and smaller one for SL.  I was going to install SL from the DVD and then after updating from 10.6. to 10.6.8 and download ML from the app store and install on the larger partition.
    Do I install all the software I use like Final Cut, Aperture, iLife (for Garageband) etc on the ML or SL partition or on both.  Also, is there a better way / practise of the order software updates / apps and boxed software should be installed when doing a clean machine install.
    Thanks in advance.
    Matt

    Thanks mende1
    So, if I have software I need to use on both ML and SL - for example Final Cut as I have a Canopus AVDC box which is not supported in ML but only SL, do I need to install the same software in both OS?
    I usually open apps using spotlight and didn't know if it would software / apps would open if already installed on the other partition?
    Thanks again
    Matt

  • I have a MacBook Pro with Intel Core Duo and Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Want to upgrade to Lion to take advantage of icloud. Is there anything I can do without getting a new MacPro?

    I have a MacBook Pro with Intel Core Duo and Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Would like to upgrade to Lion but it requires a minimum of Intel Core 2 Duo. Can I get what I need or do I have to buy new MacBok Pro?

    I also have a core duo MBP with Snow Leopard and it runs perfectly.  There are very few things it cannot do as compared to the faster, newer MBPs, but that is attributable to the CPU, not the OS.  There are some who view Lion as downgrade rather than as an improvement.  If there are important applications that reqire a fast CPU or Lion features that you find essential, by all means get a new MBP.
    I have an aphorism:  Obsolescence is more often a perception rather than a reality.  Besides the silver keys look much classier than the black ones.
    Ciao.

  • Missing Spaces and Time Machine dock icons (Tiger to Snow Leopard upgrade)

    I noticed on my MacBook (Leopard to Snow Leopard upgrade) that it has icons for Spaces and Time Machine in the dock to the left of the divider. These are missing from the dock on my iMac that I upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard. They are both System Preferences with no option for adding to the dock in the Preferences and the Preference icon in "Show All" in System Preferences is not selectable. I located them in System/Library/PreferencesPane but dragging the preference pane file to the dock doesn't work. I did a Show Package Content but did not see anything in the folder that could be dragged like an application. I can put it on the right with the stacks but is there a way to add a Preference to the dock on the application side?

    Time Machine is in your Applications folder and Spaces is in your Applications/Utilities folder. You can drag them to the dock from there.

  • PS3 and Safari crashes after Snow Leopard upgrade

    How is everyone enjoying the crashes after their Snow Leopard upgrade? I can't save a photo using PS3, or download a photo to flickr or facebook without a crash. PS3 crashes, Safari crashes and work flow is at a crawl? Spoke with tech yesterday and they told me that this would stop if I downloaded Snow Leopard again, which I did, but the problem wasn't resolved. To top it off, I lost permissions on the iMac and can't use the computer. Please tell me where all of the accolades came from? Were the reviews done by people who actually work on their computers or by people who play on them? Oh, and another thing, lost my wireless access to the router and had to start all over. Be careful here, this has not been fun!

    Excuse me, I meant to write CS3 instead of PS3.
