As a extra precaution I would copy the user file folders of Music, Documents, Pictures etc to another external drive and disconnect, just in case.
Always maintain TWO backups of your data at all times, since your messing with one, you need another until your back at two again.

Hi.
You simply can't. Snow Leopard is compiled in Intel binary only.
Good Luck.

After installing Snow Leopard, Word for Mac X document prints only top 1/3. Excel, PDF is fine...only word is a problem.

Installed Snow Leopard and later in week went to print out a full page word document (Word for Mac X) and it only printed top 1/3 of page. Checked with PDF and Excel documents and all printed out OK. TextEdit is fine in printing as well. Then created a new document with a sentence on top of page and a sentence on bottom - printed fine.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Since your problem is only w/a Microsoft product, you should contact Microsoft for Mac Support and/or post in their forums.

Installing Snow leopard on my Mac Pro

While waiting for Snow leopard to load/ install, It seemed to just stop and then gave a message that the disk could not finish installing.
After repeated attempts to eject the install disk, I finally got it to eject and to attempt restarting. However, now
All I see is a flashing image of a folder with a question mark on it. My Mac Pro will not progress from this point

It may have encountered Bad Blocks on the destination drive.
If you have good backups, it may be prudent to erase the drive with the Erase -- "Zero all data" Security Option, which tells the drive to insert spare blocks for any found to be bad after writing Zeroes.
If you do not have good backups, you should seriously consider buying a new drive to install your new OS on. And maybe a second one for backups.

Mac Pro laptop running very slow and freezing often

Recently my Mac has been acting funny. I will be surfing the net or just trying to check my email and the spinning wheel will come up and spin forever. Sometimes it stops and lets me continue, sometimes and stops for a few minutes and does it again, other times I have to restart the computer. I have plently of memory left. I have checked to see what programs are running, etc and nothing looks abnormal. However when I created a new user - everything works fine. So question - how do I fix my user so that works just as good as the new user?

How are checking your emails? I had a similar problem but surfing the web with Safari, then I discovered that there was an update for Safari, updated and the problem is gone. Working great.

After installing snow leopard excel no longer in correct format

After installing Snow Leopard, my excel files only open in text edit and my powerpoints are scrambled or cannot be opened.
Is there a way of restoring them to at least their original form before the update or do I need to install the latest Word?

Assuming Office is still installed, you can change your Excel files so they open in Excel again. Right click on one of them. Get Info. Change "Open With" to Excel. Change All.
You didn't say if your Powerpoint files are also opening in Textedit. If so,I would expect them to be scrambled. But, then again, so should your Excel files. If they are opening in Textedit, do the same procedure as above with a Powerpoint file so it opens in Powerpoint.
You will have to do the same thing for the different vesions of Excel and Powerpoint files you might have such as XLS, XLSX, PPT and whatever other extensions Office uses. Plus I assume your Word files don't open in Word either so you have DOC and DOCX that would need to be changed to open in Word.
If none of that works, you might have to reinstall Office.

Opening Photo Files in Photo Shop CS3 after installing Snow Leopard.

After installing Snow Leopard I could only open photo files in a Preview mode. I called Adobe and Apple and could not get a solution. So I called my local Mac tech person where I got the answer to my problem. What to do: Right click on an image file icon.(Do not open image.) Then go to: Get info. In the dropdown menu, Open with: Select Adobe Photoshop CS3.app or whatever app you desire. Then click change all. You have to do this just one time for each extention such as jpg, tif, etc. Trust this helps.

I am not an expert in iPhoto, but people who post here are:

To try to address the browser problem, reset Safari and see if that helps. Also, try an alternate browser (I use Firefox that way) to see if the problem is system-wide. Also, there is a Safari forum here:

Met with a white screen after installing Snow Leopard on Macbook (mid 2007)

After installing Snow Leopard on my Mid 2007 mac book pro I was prompted to restart. I restarted and the computer turned on but only got as far as a white screen that stays white with no further activity for an indefinite amount of time. I've restarted the computer a few times with the same results. How do I fix this and get past the white screen?!

Try booting into "verbose mode". That will cause a series of messages to appear on the screen during the boot process. When that stalls (presuming it does so), write down the last few messages and post them as a reply.
You might also try running the diagnostics that came with that Mac. Depending on the model, you can boot with the "system restore disc" in the machine with the "D" key held down to run those. Run the diagnostics several times.

"Inkjet 4 Quit Unexpectedly" error message after installing Snow Leopard, C410 printer

Can't get printer to print after installing Snow Leopard. C410 Photosmart Premium All in One Printer. Keeps saying "Inkjet 4 Quit Unexpectedly". Wireless test says everything is fine.

If you are using Snow Leopard or Lion and have HP software for pre-Snow Leopard (either from a CD not marked as compatible with 10.6 or you recently upgraded to Snow Leopard or Lion and had the HP software on your Mac before you upgraded - even if you did a standard uninstall of the old software or installed new software over the top of it) you must uninstall the software using the 'scrubber' option:
Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
Click on Continue
Highlight your device on the left pane
Press and hold Control + Alt + Cmd keys on the keyboard simultaneously while you click on Uninstall <<<< This IS the Scrubber Option, there is no button labeled "Scrubber"
There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
Click Continue and let it finish
Restart your Mac
Download and install this: support.apple.com/kb/DL907
Now reset the printing system:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
Finally, get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

MacBook Pro won't wake from sleep after installing Snow Leopard

If my MacBook Pro is running while closed with an external display and I unplug it from the display it goes to sleep - as indicated by the white light and the front pulsing. If I then open the MacBook the display remains blank and it is completely unresponsive to any keys or track pad input.
The only thing it responds to at that point is holding the power button down until it powers down and then restarting - loosing all work in progress at that point.
Before installing Snow Leopard the Mac would wake reliably when opened from this state.

I think I may have found the fix for this. My MacBook Pro was dying in its sleep every time (after installing Snow Leopard), whether it went to sleep automatically or I used a Hot Corner. I went into System Preferences>Desktop & Screen Saver and changed the screen saver to Flurry, and it works now. I had had it set to a folder containing a single .pct file that I had created.
Good advice Mike! When in doubt check the ScreenSaver settings.
Definitely seems that it has a problem with that pic... In my case, selecting any images instead of the default setting (no screensaver) seems to have cured my non waking issue on my early Macbook Pro in Snow Leopard.
My original problem was that no amount of trackpad input woke it, but the space bar did. The space bar seemed to wake it up with the previous Screen Saver setting. Now trackpad wakes it up (even from total sleep as well as screen saver), too. Might be nice to know about if this is an intended 'feature' as a security trick. Otherwise I consider this a bug.
My vote is that it's a bug.

Hi John, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Please go to "My Settings"and give us more information about your Mac. It's on this page at upper right ➦
On your  menu choose "About this Mac" and fill in : Version, Model, Processor and Memory. Also, your "available" hard drive space which will will be at the bottom of your Finder window (xx GB available).
Try Safe Mode (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)
If your apps function correctly that way, go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items, and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not go to Users/(yourname)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving ~(yourHome)/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.

After installing Snow Leopard I can no longer "save photos on computer" after inserting a memory stick to an HP Photosmart C5180 All in 1 Photosmart C5180 All in one

Hello,
When I insert a memory stick into my HP Photosmart C5180 All in one and I try to "save photos on computer" the printer reads: "You need to install device software". This all started happening after I installed Snow Leopard on my Mac 10.6.8. Can someone please advise on what I need to do?

Typically it's a good idea to uninstall any devices attached to the Mac before doing an upgrade. This prevents problems that can be caused by the upgrade. Below are the instructions for uinstalling and reinstalling the printer. I'm also going to include a link to the full feature software and drivers for the printer. Let me know what happens.

Why after installing Snow Leopard my system(Mac Pro 15) is very slow and every time I download updates it crashes?
