Will Mac OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard work for a windows Computer....???

hi. i am wondering if i could buy MAC OSX 10.6 SNOW LEOPARD and put it into my windows Computer and erase windows and put MAC on it? i just bought an. HP Pavilion Slimline about 1-2 weeks ago. and it has. AMD Athlon II X2. With NVIDIA Graphics With Cuda.... Will it work??? please let em know....

Snow Leopard requires an Apple Macintosh with an Intel CPU. I doubt that even with extensive, license-breaking hacks you could get it to run on an AMD CPU.

    That qualifies as an "issue".

    The installer verifies the integrity of your HD before upgrading OS X. If it has defects that cannot be repaired then it requires replacement. You would be understandably disappointed if it were to upgrade your system, then be unable to start because its hard disk is corrupt.
    Try starting your Mac from its original System Install DVD. Insert the disc and restart while holding the c key. Choose your startup volume from the left column and select "Repair Disk". Make note of any errors it finds. Even if it repairs successfully, it is likely to fail again.
    Hard disk drives can be replaced. Expect to pay nearly $400 for an Apple Store repair.
    You will not have to pay for Mountain Lion again. It's yours forever and can be downloaded again, as often as you require.

  • TA48312 How can I download Mac OSX 10.6 snow leopard

    Hi ,
    I use to Mac OS X v10.5.8 but I want to update to my MacBook and I need to Mac OSX v10.6 snow leopard... ???

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Mac OS X Snow Leopard is not free. It can be purchased in a DVD at the Apple Online Store > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Before upgrading, make a backup of your files onto an external drive with Time Machine. After upgrading, open  > Software Update to install Mac OS X 10.6.8, so you will be able to install iTunes 11.1.4.
    If you want to upgrade to OS X Mavericks, see > http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade

  • Dreamweaver 8 install on Mac OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard

    Hi all,
    I have just done a fresh install of Mac OSx Snow Leopard (10.6) and am trying to install our copy of Dreamweaver 8 onto it. However I have now run into a few problems. Firstly it came up with an error message stating that some old format is no longer supported or something. I cant get the error message back up now, as now the CD will not mount within OSx!
    Can anyone assist with this? Thanks.

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
    You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

  • Can OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard work with an Imation Superdisk 120MB Drive?

    I have an Imac duo core with Snow Leopard OSX 10.6.8 running on it.
    Need to know if OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard works with an Imation Mac USB Superdisk 120 MG Drive before I buy an old use one.

    Why would you want technology that is so old?

  • Will Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard work for my macbook?

    I have a 2010 macbook, there is nothing installed, the hard drive is clean. i want to install snow leopard on it. If i buy
    Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard from the apple store $30 will it work for my macbook, will it install. any help would be appreciated.
    here are my macbook serials:
    serial number: 3401*****5w
    model identifierL macbook7,1
    <Edited by Host>

    To get iLife and iWork. If you only want iPhoto or other single apps from iLife '11 you can get them from the App Store after you've upgraded to 10.6.6. iPhoto, iMovie or Garage Band for $15 each and Pages, Keynote or Numbers from iWork '09 for $20 each.
    Once you are at 10.6.8 you can buy Lion for $29 from the App Store. Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
    As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.

  • Today's Mac OSX Update on Snow Leopard

    Device: MacBookPro 15 inch 2007
    OSX: Snow Leopard 1.6.2
    Updates: "HP printer drivers and Safari"
    I just update my System and after restarting it gave me an kernel error.. after reseting the nvram and pram it worked fine again, at least till now.. I just hope for the best :)!
    I just wanted you guys to know that this might happen if you update today.. or if someone faces the same issue that he will be prepared!
    cheers, Tom
    up

    Did you update to 10.6.2 via Software Update or did you download the combo? If you used Software Update, get the Combo updater instead and re-apply:

  • Will Mac Drivers From A Macbook Pro Work For A Macbook?

    Hello everyone, been looking for an answer for this for awhile.
    Im installing windows xp sp3 on many of our computers - an early 2008 Macbook pro, a 2009 Macbook, and a Brand New Imac 21.5 inch.
    Unfortunately, i cannon find the box of the 2009 macbook - which means no install cd for drivers.
    Will i be able to us any other of the driver cds (from the macbook pro or the imac) for the macbook (aluminum) or are each special for that computer? thanks!!!

    Yes. Windows XP is not choosy. It will use any MacOS installer DVD that has the Boot Camp driver installer.
    But for later versions of Windows like Vista and Windows 7, use the drivers on the Snow Leopard installer DVD. At only $29, Snow Leopard is a cheap solution as far as the drivers go but even better, SL should be on all recent Macs.

  • Can anyone please tell me which version of Photoshop Elements will download easily and run with mac 10.5.8 Snow Leopard?

    I posted a question which was: Can anyone please tell me which version of Photoshop Elements will work with Mac 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.  Then this window popped up saying mark this discussion with as a question and this window.  I have no idea how this works. It already is a question and if I need to emphasize that, how does this window that looks like a Word editing window, help me do that?Downloading, Installing, Setting Up

    You asked the question in the title area instead of the area where the body of your posting is intended to be.  No fault of yours - they need to make the form clearer.
    Check the system requirements for the various versions of Photoshop Elements and see which suits your system.  Adobe only sells the most recent versions of their software, so if you need an older version you will need to find a vendor for it.

  • Snow Leopard Browse for file dialog bug in current Flash Player?

    We have noticed a possible bug in the Flash Player within Mac's latest OS version Snow Leopard.
    When a Browse for file dialog is initiated, upon returning to the browser. It's as if there is a layer above the flash app which stops interaction with the mouse. MouseOver events no longer take place and a click is require to remove this layer. If you move your mouse at all after the click this invisible layer returns limiting interaction.
    We have tested this with 2 macs running snow leopard and the latest Flash Player. And also verified it is not an issue on Mac OSX previous to Snow Leopard.
    It seems to effect only FF and Safari. Opera functions correctly.. Here is a video we created documenting the problem: http://www.conceptshare.com/flash_issue.mov
    We have not had any customers complain about this yet. But if it's infact a bug, it's just a matter of time.
    Any feedback would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hi Scott,
    Any workaround on this? I've tried numerous hacks to no avail. The only thing that works is to switch to another application and then switch back. When you say it fixed itself in safari would that be because of an update to safari or an update to the flash player? Also, have you tried the flash player beta on adobe labs? i think it is fixed in there but i don't believe users will update to a beta to fix this issue.

  • I just update my Mac operating system from Snow Leopard to Yosemite and now have to upgrade my Epson Printer WF3540 so that it will be able to scan. Will Adobe be compatible with these softwares?

    I just update my Mac operating system from Snow Leopard to Yosemite and now have to upgrade my Epson Printer WF3540 so that it will be able to scan. Will Adobe be compatible with these softwares?

    Hi spiritentrep,
    What Adobe software are you referring to? Are you using Acrobat? You should have no problems running Acrobat XI on Yosemite, and as along as you have compatible scanner drivers for your Epson, you should be fine there as well.
    Best,
