Why did I pay £25.00 for snow leopard?
Ive installed it and have noticed no difference.............have you?

That's a point fo confusion.
If your MacBook has a Core 2 Duo processor (64-bit) and not the earlier Core Duo processor (32-bit), you can run 64-bit versions of Apple's applications. Whether the speed improvements are mostly because of this "64-bit'ness" or mostly because Apple re-coded the bundled apps (such as the all-important Finder) to be more efficient, I'm not so sure. Apple did optimize their code to reduce bloat, and it is supposedly a lot more than just removing the PowerPC code. This article has a good high level explanation.
http://www.macworld.com/article/142379/2009/08/snowleopard_64bit.html
The other layer for 32 versus 64-bit discussion is in the core of the OS itself, the kernel. Apple seems to be playing it safe initially, and all Macs (except for Xserve servers) are running the 32-bit kernel by default. This may be to ensure third-party software compatibility during the transition to 64-bit. The more recent Macs are capable of switching to the 64-bit kernel on startup. Older Core 2 Duo Macs (that can run 64-bit apps) cannot use the 64-bit kernel. This web page (with related utility) has a good consolidate explanation, although I cannot confirm everything is 100% accurate.

So there are really two levels. 64-bit applications and the 64-bit kernel. 64-bit apps can run with the 32-bit kernel just fine, as long as your iMac has Core 2 Duo processors. I'm just going to keep things +as is+, and not worry about it. Snow Leopard is running great, and that's good enough for me no matter what part is 64-bit and what part is not.

Why can't Firefox set permissions for Snow Leopard Server Web-Site Wikis

I've established a web-site for collaboration of planning for a state-wide NGO and a local citizens-government oversight commission.
I'm using Snow Leopard Server v10.6.4, to drive the web-site, which includes the use of wikis.
In creating a wiki and setting permissions, I find that I cannot set permissions for users or groups to 'read only' from the default 'read & write' while using Firefox. However, I CAN set them to 'read only' using Safari. And, once the permission has been modified in Safari, THEN it can be modified in Firefox.

It’s blog update time! Updates have been a little scarce lately, been super busy with getting trophies on PS3
Anyway, recently encountered the following with a Mac mini server running Snow Leopard Server:
Despite being able to ARD / Screenshare the Mac mini, I was unable to get any further than the login window. Authentication credentials are obviously valid. No weird access permissions have been set. However, the weird thing was, I can connect to the server via Server Admin tools (from another Mac) and all other services were running without a hitch.
After much head scratching it turns out to be a sACL (Service Access Control List) issue.
This thread solved the mystery!
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1654864
To save you the trouble, I’ll lay it out here. I cannot take credit for this, but Randall can!
Open Server Admin on a computer (any), and connect with the local admin to the machine.
Select the server and authenticate.
Select Settings, then go to Access. You’ll want to make sure that Login Window and SSH have the local admin account listed if you select the option to “Allow only these users”. For now, I would suggest making sure all services have “Allow all users and groups” selected.
If (as in my case) it was set to Allow All in the first place, simply toggle the settings – back and forth.
Save.
Try logging in again… should be a good one!

Why does it take so long for snow leopard to ship out?

Are they low on stock? I ordered it back on Aug. 31st. I don't have my original discs and I needed a copy in order to reset iMac to factory settings.

Looking across a number of forums it would seem there's been a bit of a run on SL since Lion came out. Make of that what you will.
Amazon appear to have no stock, though a few Market Place dealers have, at inflated prices.
You'd be wise to get replacements for the original discs, too. The retail OS installer doesn't include the bundled software (primarily iLife) or Apple Hardware Test, which is tailored to the specific model.

X code download for snow leopard

Going to apple developer site and find the X code for snow leopard download and fail the to install.

You need Xcode 3.2. It is still available for download. The question is why anyone would want to develop for Snow Leopard, but that's your concern.

Why did I pay $54 for Photoshop Elements 12 only for 30 trial and the opportunity to buy for $99?

Why did I pay $54 for a code? All I got was a 30 day trial and the opportunity to buy Photoshop Elements for $99. I am very upset.

The redemption code is used to get a serial number, which you enter into the trial or download version to activate it. If you're having trouble with the link in your receipt, try the link on this page:

HT5714 Why did I pay $19 for Start Trek Into Darkness pre-order, if Apple KNEW they were going to release a bundle on the release date and I could have got the other Star Trek movie for just $5 more? What the heck Apple, I feel completely ripped off.

Why did I pay $19 for Start Trek Into Darkness pre-order, if Apple KNEW they were going to release a bundle on the release date and I could have got the other Star Trek movie for just $5 more? What the heck Apple, I feel completely ripped off.
I didn't even have time to cancel the preorder as that processed a couple minutes before the bundle was posted.
Pre-orders are apparently not worth my time ever again.

Go here:

and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. Perhaps there will be something they can do for you.

Why did I get charged again for items I have already purchased?

Why did I get charged again for items I have already purchased?

My theory is that because the original appleID wasn't an email, they're making you switch to it when you update to iOS5. So that creates essentially a new appleID and it isn't recognized as the one that originally made all your purchases. Sign out of the Store and then sign in using your old ID and it should do the trick.
The other alternative is to sync your apps rather than reinstalling them....if you can. Hope the phone service helps.

Why can't I download Xcode 4.2 for Snow Leopard?

Hi there,
I login to Apple Developer and click Download Xcode 4.2 (Snow Leopard) but I'm just presented with an Access Denied page... Do you know why this happens?
Best Regards,
Jens

Thank you very much :-)
I just checked it again and here's what I've done:
1) Browse to developer.apple.com
2) Choose iOS Dev Center
3) Log In
4) Go down to the Downloads Section on http://developer.apple.com/devcenter/ios/index.action and click on Xcode 4.2 for Snow Leopard download link.
5) The link is download.apple.com//Developer_Tools/xcode_4.2_with_ios_5_sdk/xcode_4.2_and_ios_ 5_sdk_for_snow_leopard.dmg but instead of downloading the file, I'm presented with an Access Denied page:

Why cant i re-download xcode 4 for snow leopard from the mac app store?

i reformatted my mac's hd and didnt back up applications that i bought from the mac appstore cause its easy to re-download, so im trying to re-download and instal xcode for snow leopard the one that you purchase for 5 dollars

Been trying about 2 weeks now to get the xcode 4 for snow leopard that I purchased for $5 installed on my new macbook pro but I get the same error. After several frustrating calls and emails the final verdict from Apple was either contact the developer and get a copy (uh Apple right?) or you just can't install it since they've removed it from the App Store. They said just upgrade to Lion but I can't upgrade to Lion on my work machine since well Lion brings down our NAS. So I'm totally hosed on this one. Apple should not force us to move to Lion. That's not right.
There isn't a version of Xcode on this machine so there shouldn't be any conflicts. I REALLY need Xcode 4 installed and this is really frustrating because I already paid for the thing.

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.

I have updated from Snow Leopard to Lion with Safari Version 5.0.5. Now I can not update to Safari 5.1. There is no update in the Software Updater, and on the apple-download page, I only found a Safari 5.1 for Snow Leopard. When executing it, there is an error message, that it is for 10.6 only.
It seems that I should have first updated Safari, and then only to Lion, which I didn't. Any idea how I can fix this now without having to rollback to Snow Leopard, update Safari and then go back to Lion?

Try this Safari5.1 from the installer package

The download worked better with Firefox not sure why. At the bottom of the page after the captcha>> slow down load is the Free link, it took about 4 minutes to download on my test.

You wanted to say "for snow leoprad" instead of "for iMac"

Install Disk for Snow Leopard will not boot on an iMac 27in

My Install Disk for Snow Leopard will not boot on my iMac 27in. The Apple Logo is the only thing the user will see. The current OS on the system is 10.6.6. Upon placing the Snow Leopard DVD in the system, the DVD players spins for a few seconds and displays the Apple Logo. Nothing happens after 20 minutes.

Yes, it is ridiculous how it is impossible to install Snow Leopard. I have two Snow Leopard DVDs: one that I purchased for a Macbook soon after it's release (10.6.0), and one that came with my iMac (10.6.4). Both of these boot up my Macbook (running 10.6.7) just fine. My SL 10.6.0 DVD mounts onto my iMac (Lion 10.7.0), but you cannot run the install. I attempted to boot from this DVD and got the infinite white screen and Apple logo, as some have reported above. The other SL 10.6.4 DVD will not even mount in Lion, and will not even show up as a bootable drive when I attempt to select it after holding alt/option on reboot.
I created a bootable external drive from SL 10.6.0, attempted boot, same infinite white screen/apple logo.
I created a bootable external drive from SL 10.6.4 on my macbook. I attempted to boot from this drive, and got the white screen of death, except that this time I actually got the loading symbol underneath the Apple logo. After about a minute of attempting to boot, the Apple logo changed to a circle with a diagonal line through it (the "NO!" sign).
I took my iMac to the genius bar. They inserted SL 10.6.0, which would not boot. Then they determined that my computer had to run 10.6.4 and later. So, they restored an image of SL 10.6.4 onto my partition (not an install from an image, but an image of SL already installed). Hurray! Snow Leopard was successfully shoved onto my iMac!
I then deleted a third partition on my hard drive I did not need anymore, which somehow screwed up my SL partition (even though it said "Will not erase partition SL or Macintosh HD). Now I am back at square one, and I guess I need to take my flippin iMac back to Apple for them to do what I should be able to do.
I like Apple, but sheesh do I hate Lion right now.

After I installed 10.6.8, my HP Officejet lost the ability to print 2-sided. I installed the latest HP drivers for Snow Leopard, but the 2-sided option is turned off and greyed out.

After I installed 10.6.8, my HP Officejet 7310 lost the ability to print 2-sided. I installed the latest HP drivers for Snow Leopard, the 2-sided option shows up in the print window but is turned off and greyed out. Also the scan function won't let me scan at any density greater than 150 dpi. I have talked to Applecare and to HP tech support and been told "too bad." Any help would be appreciated.

THANK YOU! And who are you? I spent a couple of hours on the phone with Applecare and with HP Tech Support and they couldn't fix what you did in a few words. Many thanks! John
