What operating system needed for snow leopard?

I have Power PC G5 10.5.8. It does not have itel.
Can I upgrade to snow leopard?
It does not have itel.

You are at the max OS for you system (PowerPC). Anything higher requires an Intel processor, which cannot be retrofitted for what you'd pay for a working Intel Mac.

  • What app replaces MacJanitor for Snow Leopard

    I need an app to replace MacJanitor for Snow Leopard, and Lion. Any suggestions???

    Not really needed and I don't know of anything. Snow Leopard runs the periodic scripts at wake up if the computer has been sleeping. But you can rotate the system.log manually. This doesn't get run if the computer has been asleep (I think it's midnight.) See the command and instructions in my post in this nearby thread.

  • Most recent imac firmware update resets operating system back to snow leopard

    I bought this computer when Lion was just coming out, so it still had the snow leopard OS. I have upgraded to Lion OS and updated all my software. This evening I get notice of a firmware update and iPhoto 9.2.1. I just did the install, and my computer is back to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Just tried the Lion recovery disk I made on a USB not too long ago and that does not launch, and my Time Machine backup is showing the state it was before I upgraded to Lion.
    Do I have to do everything over again? App store is showing that I have a Lion 10.7.2 available update.

    OK I think I figured out what happened. Before I did do the lion OS update I had partitioned my hard drive, so that I still had a small section for snow leopard. I think the firmware update lost the fact that I had my startup disk set as the Lion one and set me back into the snow leopard one. I just booted into the Lion section and everything is still there, so no data lost.
    Now that I have done with using snow leopard, I might as well departition the hard drive, and maybe this won't happen again.

  • What is mail version for Snow Leopard 10.6.8?

    I had switched to iCloud from MobileMe some months ago. Today opened Mail and iCloud imap acct wasn't there. Then mailboxes loaded  but in prefs the acct is labeled "Mobile Me." And mail version is 4.6. What happened? What to do ?

    Snow Leopard has never heard of iCloud so you have to set Mail up manually for the different servers. If you are having problems I suggest deleting the account you have and setting it up from scratch as described here:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
    You may find it it described as 'Mobileme IMAP" - don't worry about that, as long as you follow the procedure it should work fine.

  • I previously bought OSX lion, then i had my harddrive backed up on an external. Once I wiped my harddrive, it put my operating system back to snow leopard...help

    I want to know if I can get it from the app strore without purchasing it again...This is because I dont want to upgrade to ML.

    If you're wanting to put Snow Leopard back on your old laptop and you don't have the original DVDs, you should call Apple Support (800-MY-APPLE   USA) and order the version of SL that came with your MBP. You'll be charged a small fee.

  • CanoScan 88))F driver needed for Snow Leopard

    I need a Driver for the Canon CanoScan 8800F. It does not work with the system. I checked ith Caon and there isn't a driver for it. Does anyone know how to fix it?

    Looking at the Canon Australia web site, there is a version 13.9.1 driver posted for the CS8800F that quotes 10.6 as being supported.

  • Getting ready for Snow Leopard + Windows 7... help?

    I have a currently 300g Hard Drive in my early 2008 MacPro (with 50g free), and really want to go to a dual-boot w/ Snow Leopard and Windows 7 here in a few months.
    I have another internal drive that's 750g, and I'm thinking of using that one as my startup drive. That way (obviously) I can partition it and have more room for both operating systems (2/3 Snow Leopard, 1/3 Windows)
    My question is this: What's the best way to go about this?
    Should I go ahead and partition that drive, and then copy my current system onto the 2/3rds I want to use for Snow Leopard, and then turn off my computer and swap the drives?
    Anything to "look out for" when partitioning? I've never done it before...
    After I swap the drives, I automatically start-up on the correct partition?
    Also, is 750g too big for a startup drive?
    Maybe stupid questions, but I'm really looking forward to both of these operating systems coming out, and I want to make sure I get it right!
    tia,
    e

    I actually want to put both on the 750, so I can have all the rest of my internals be 1tb each (i keep my video editing stuff on one, my audio editing on another, and my iTunes on the other).
    Just make sure you've got all that stuff backed up. Lots of people get a false sense of security, thinking "My stuff isn't on the boot drive, so it's safe," but this couldn't be further from the truth. Maybe this is unneeded advice, but just in case, I'd recommend reading my [Mac Backup Guide|http://www.reedcorner.net/thomas/guides/backups> (or some other backup reference).
    So... I just zap the 750, partition it in Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Clone my existing Startup Disk to the correct partition, and then "point" to that as my startup volume in SysPrefs? Right?
    If you're using Parallels, rather than Boot Camp, partitioning is completely unnecessary. Other than that, yes, you've got it.

  • EULA for Snow Leopard

    I just bought a new iMac. I have two other core duo's that I'd like to upgrade to Snow Leopard. Can I use the disks that came with my new iMac to do this or do I have to buy upgrade disks? What is the cost of upgrading 2 additional computers?
    Thanks.

    Purchase the Family Pack if you're a home user.
    FWIW, if you are upgrading just two other computers to Snow Leopard, you might consider buying two single user versions instead of the Family Pack. At U.S. prices this will set you back an additional $9 (two times $29 vs. $49), but you get a second installer disc you can keep as a pristine, unused backup in case something happens to the first one.
    Of course, Apple allows you to make one copy of the installer disc for backup purposes, but if you consider the cost of a double layer DVD-R & the hassle of burning & testing the disc yourself, you might decide it is $9 well spent.
    Also, before you buy either product, make sure your other Macs meet the minimum system requirements for Snow Leopard: they must be Intel-based Macs (not G4's or G5's) & have at least 1 GB of RAM.

  • I have just upgraded to Snow Leopard and have lost my epson printer software. On Epson Aus. web page there is no upgrade of their software for my printer with Snow Leopard. Can i download a lesser operating system software for printer?

    I have just upgraded to snow leopard and lost my epson printer software. I have checked Epson Aus web site for printer software but they haven't upgraded it for snow leopard. Am i able to download software for a lesser operating system then snow leopard or do i have to purchase a new printer? The model is stylus photo R310.

    Have you tried the R300 or R320 software? Typically the software covers a broad spectrum of printers, often providinbg overlap to cover "relatives" of a series.

  • What do I need to be ready for Snow Leopard?

    I have an Intel Mac Pro with OS X 10.5.8.  What do I need to do to be ready for Snow Leopard?  Specifically, do I need to do an intermediate OS X upgrade?
    Thanks.
    David

    PLEASE tell people what model.
    And no one knows but it is possible that Pre-2008 model will not be supported as they lack UEFI.
    It is possible to boot ML even so but that could change. MacPro 1,1 and 2,1 likely will not be supported, those models dont' support 64-bit kernel mode.
    My guess, stay where you are until you need to or buy a new Mac.

  • What are the supported Macintosh Operating System versions for IBM SPSS Statistics 18,19 and 20?   Question  I would like to know what are the supported Macintosh Operating system versions for IBM SPSS Statistics versions 18, 19 and 20? Answer  Please see

    What are the supported Macintosh Operating System versions for IBM SPSS Statistics 18,19 and 20?
    Question
    I would like to know what are the supported Macintosh Operating system versions for IBM SPSS Statistics versions 18, 19 and 20?
    Answer
    Please see the list below:
    - IBM SPSS Statistics 18 and 19 releases are supported on Apple Macintosh OS 10.5 (Leopard) and 10.6 (Snow Leopard) with Intel processor.
    - IBM SPSS Statistics 20 release is supported on Apple Macintosh OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and 10.7 (Lion) with Intel processor.
    - The IBM SPSS Statistics versions 18 and 19 are not supported on Mac OS 10.7 (Lion).
    THIS MEANS THAT TO USE LION ONE FIRST HAS TO UPGRADE TO SPSS STATISTICS 20.

    Whilst the 2012-02-15 edition of IBM's matrix does not mention Lion, a few users have noted that:
    • 18.0 can be troublesome
    • an updated version of 18.x should be better.
    Related files
    PASWStatistics_1 803_Mac_Patch.dmg and IBM SPSS Statistics 18.0.3.4 Hotfix Mac.zip are no longer available from the spss.com domain, and I could not find them in an IBM domain. If you download from unofficial sources, proceed with caution.

    At a glance, you might find that 18.0.3.4 is compatible with Lion.

  • HT4163 Need iPhoto 9.0 for Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    I have an old macbook running 10.6.8.  I want iPhoto version 9 ('11), but all I can find in the app store is version 9.3, which only runs on Lion.  I want iPhoto for Snow Leopard.  I can see no reason why Apple has forsaken Snow Leopard. There is no reason why the App store can't have version 9.0 so both Lion and Snow Leopard users can buy it and update it to suit individual needs.  Does anyone know how to get version 9.0 for Snow Leopard online?

    Just a follow-up.  I did purchase iLife '09 on eBay and it works smoothly. A few hiccups. I mistakenly did an "upgrade install" of OS X, twice.  "Upgrade installs" take a long, long time to do, and in the end, just don't work.  It turned out that the utilities menu that I needed to access in order to reformat and do a "clean install' was pushed right off the screen where I could not see it, due to a faulty video driver matchup on the install disk.  The result was that I wasn't sure what kind of install I was doing. 
    So, now I have a mini-Mac that works just like it used to, but really with no perceptible advantage to what I had before, just a few bucks lighter, and many hours of effort.  The good news is that my older mini-Mac (read the Apple fine print carefully on which Intel processors do and don't work) will run Snow Leopard, albeit a little slower than Tiger.  Hopefully, Apple technology and the various software upgrades required to browse the Internet will stay compatible with Snow Leopard for a while yet.  But the Apple mini-Mac takes the cake for the poorest backward compatibility I've run across since I began with computers in the late 1960s.

    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion to Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 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 Mavericks- System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             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.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
    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 by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. 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.
