Will Apple continue to update &/or upgrade Snow Leopard?

After Lion, will Apple continue to update &/or upgrade Snow Leopard?

Sorry, speculation is outside the T&Cs of this forum. (but I doubt it apart from security updates).

  • How long will Apple continue to release patches for Snow Leopard?

    Now that Mountain Lion has been released, how long will Apple continue to support Snow Leopard with patches?

    I think the support has already stopped for 10.6.8 if past practice is anything to go on.*
    Past observation suggests Apple supports the current and the preceding OS.
    On the  25th of July, 2012** it became no longer the preceding but relegated to 'bronze'.
    * exceptions have been known but are rare.
    ** when 10.8 came out.

  • Setting the Software Update Server on Snow Leopard, Leopard and Tiger

    I have made an app that will set the Software Update Server on Snow Leopard, Leopard or Tiger. It will set the Software Update Server by checking the Server's version to see if it is compatible with your OS version. If you try to use a Leopard (no Snow Leopard Hack (See http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10297359#10297359)) or Tiger Server with Snow Leopard it will say it is not compatible. If it is it will set it. If you are trying to use a Tiger Server with Leopard it will set it but you will only get Tiger updates.
    The app is beta, if you find any problems or have any comments please reply.

    You might want to look into throwing Software Update Enabler onto your clients.
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/18059
    Basically, it's just a little app that points the client in the direction of the Software Update Server - you just enter the IP of the server into the config field. With a standalone server I don't think you can get the clients to see the server without something showing them the way.
    It's really very tiny and simple - I believe it just edits a com.apple.softwareupdate.plist or some such, but it made life a lot easier for us in our environment.
    Hope that helps.

  • How do I upgrade Snow Leopard to Lion? I have installedOS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1

    How do I upgrade Snow Leopard to Lion? I have installed OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
    I have another machine that already has Lion on it and I want them both to have the same OS version. 

    Not the iTunes App Store, but under the Apple
    icon at top left>Appstore, likely only 10.8/Mountain Lion will be found, if you don't want that & want Lion, you have to call Apple & get a key for Lion download.
    Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE. Or Support... 1-800-275-2273
    Other countries...

    Do make a copy of the Installer before running it, like baltwo points out.

    Don't be afraid to bump this topic. There's also an App Store forum where you might repost this question, but give some of these details in your post.  I'd rephrase the topic to something like "Can't use App Store to upgrade." (Instead of can't "open".) Then give the details.

  • APple MBP v1.3 Update after a Snow Leopard 10.6.4 reinstall

    Is the Apple MBP v1.3 update part of SNow Leopard 10.6.4 Combo Update and if not how do I go about installing Apple MBP v1.3 update after I have already installed snow leopard Combo Update from 10.6.3?
    From the APple Website the v1.3 update will only install if you have 10.6.3 Snow Leopard and might become an issue if trying to install it after 10.6.4 Combo Update has been installed.
    So my question is:
    Is the Apple MBP v1.3 Update part of the 10.6.4 Snow Leopard Combo update?
    Thanks

    Run Software Update. If it doesn't list Apple MBP v1.3 Update as an available update then you don't need it.

  • Is it true if you have a mobleme account apple will send you a copy of osx snow leopard 10.6

    If you are currently a MobileMe subscriber or were a subscriber and have switched to iCloud, you can get a free copy of Snow Leopard to help with the upgrade to Lion now or Mountain Lion this summer. Visit this link for Free Snow Leopard. Sign in with your MobileMe ID and password.

  • Will Apple issue software updates to 10.7.4 Lion ?

    I have an early 2008 MacBook running 10.7.4 Lion.  4.5 years old and running perfectly.  It is too old to run Mountain Lion, so am am concerned that Apple won't produce software updates to Lion.
    1. Based on past experience, will Apple issue software updates?
    2. If the answer to 1 is negative, then I am very surprised at the lack of outcry on this and other forums and from the bloggers about this situation, where faithful users of Macs are effectively being forced to buy a new one to get a supported OS.  Am I missing something here?

    Yes, every OSX ever released in the past has reached a point of no further update support. Security update carry on a little longer, but eventually no further support is given. Snow Leopard is in that catagorie at present. Lion may well have further updates, only Apple knows that. It would not surprise to see a 10.7.5 update but then maybe not. The 12 monthly OSX releases that Apple seems to be leaning towards may well change the pattern of support we have come to know in the past. Lion may be supported for some time in regards to security updates, but then again it may be on it's last legs. Time will tell.

  • Will apple continue to support OS X Lion?

    I am new to apple and i have question regarding OS X Lion.
    I have OS X Lion 10.7.4 on my Macbook pro late 2011 model, i want to ask that will apple continue update to OS X Lion to 10.7.5 or above? despite the fact that apple has just released a new OS X mountain lion..

    no one here knows what apple plans to do.  They haven't released a newer version of 10.6 (10.6.8) since 10.7 was released last summer.  So if you want to take a guess based on that.  Then the answer is no.  But again, no one here can say what apple has planned as we just dont know.

  • Will apple continue to make the iPad 2, or do I need to go get one tonight before they all disappear?

    Hi.  Will Apple continue to make and sell the iPad 2, or do I need to run out and get one now?
    Bob

    IT's very possible they're dropping the price to clear out inventory, and as soon as the current stockpile is gone there won't be any more. Has Apple said if they're still making new iPad2's?

  • Will Apple continue to support iWeb?

    Will Apple continue to support iWeb?

    It's now confirmed that iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken.  If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    In addition the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on.
    HOWEVER, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still currently available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those copies still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD.
    This may be of some interest to you: Life After MobileMe.
