Will Snow Leopard drivers typically work with Lion?

I'm sure that it varies per driver obviously, but I'm going to be switching from a PC soon, and I would like to use an external USB audio interface for recording audio. However, Tascam has discontinued the product, and they only supported it through Snow Leopard. Do people tend to have luck using drivers for Snow Leopard with Lion? Thank you!

Don't count on them working for hardware other than maybe printers.

  • Old iMac with Snow Leopard to new iMac with Lion - can I do this?

    Hi folks,
    1.  I have a 6 year old iMac running Snow Leopard (can't upgrade to Lion)
    2. Just bought a new iMac running Lion.
    3.  I want to migrate all accounts, files, apps, etc from old iMac to new iMac (about 150 Gb worth)..
    4. I would normally connect both iMacs either with an Ethernet cable or via wi-fi network and run Setup Assistant to move everything to the new iMac.
    Based on my experience doing this on other Macs I have, I know it's gonna take 8 to 10 hours to migrate everything over to the new iMac so I'm looking for ways to migrate so my iMac isn't tied up all day and I don't have to spend all day in front of the computer making sure all is o.k.  So, if I make a bootable clone on a separate portable drive using SuperDuper, can I hook that drive up (instead of old iMac) to my new iMac and run Setup Assistant that way?  That would free up the old iMac to use while the new iMac crunches away copying all those files from the portable drive.  Will that work? Has anyone done this successfully?  Any cautions or things to watch for?
    Thanks everyone,
    Ed

    Linc,
    Thanks for the info, but I want to use an external FireWire drive as the target disk, not the old iMac.  I'd need to keep the external FireWire drive connected to the old iMac in order to use the screen, keyboard, mouse, etc.  Could I just connect the FW drive to the new iMac and then start up the new iMac in hopes it would "recognize" the external FireWire drive through Setup Assistant?

  • Does the Apple Snow Leopard install USB work with any macbook air?

    Hi guys and girls,
    Im changing the hard drive in my MBA 2008 A1237 from the 80GB HDD to the 64GB SSD. Ive seen a Snow Leopard install usb on ebay for £15 so ive brought it.... but I was wondering if it would actuly work with my particular Air?
    As my perivouse exspriance tells me that some install DVDs are tied to cirent products such as my iMac install dvd wont work on my Macbook.. 
    Thanks

    The OS X Lion Thumb Drive isn't being sold by Apple, so you need Snow Leopard. Buy Snow Leopard from Apple and use the USB SuperDrive to do it. Then, open Apple menu > Software Update and install the most recent version. If you don't want to spend more money, stay in Snow Leopard, but if you want Lion, call Apple to purchase Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

    Although you have accepted the negative answer as solving your problem, there is a positive one:

  • VPN addresses that worked in Snow Leopard doesn't work in Lion configurations

    Hi!
    I need to connect to a VPN (PPTP) to access some link addresses that are configured through this VPN.
    I can connect to VPN in both OS (Snow and Lion), however only in the Snow Leopard I can access correctly the links that I need, on Lion I get this error:
    Host xxxxxxxxxxxxxx not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
    On Lion I can ping to IP address but I can't ping to host name. I already set the hosts file and it's not working. I tried to use OpenDNS and it's not working also.
    Anyone has some idea? I already spent more than a week searching on google to a possible solution but unfortunatly I can't get.
    Thanks!

    To answer my own question...
    When using the method where both computers are hooked together with a single ethernet cable --
    Go to SnowLeopard machine and set IPv6 to automatic, and select away from DHCP to manual.  It will do a self-assigned IP address.
    Got to the Yosemite machine and configure it's ethernet to IPv6, DHCP to manual, and put in an IP address one different from the self-assigned address that the SL machine took.  We also changed the net mask to 255.255.0.0 from 255.255.255.0, and set the server to the .0 of the self-assigned class C.  Those last two steps might not be necessary.

  • Installing snow leopard on a partition with lion as the native os

    I want to use quicken on my lion macbook pro. i tried installing snow leopard into a partition but can't install it. i can't start from the install disk and neither can i just designate the partition as the destination. thanks

    Joerel- You may not be able to boot that Mac with that DVD but it should be able to boot from a fully-updated version of Snow Leopard + Combo Update (preferably 10.6.8v2) since that model originally shipped with Snow Leopard. Getting Snow Leopard onto it might be an insurmountable challenge; it depends on your available resources.
    You're going to need a Mac that can boot from that DVD or already has 10.6.8v2 installed. You should then be able to clone that other Mac's boot volume over to the partition you set aside on your newer Mac's internal hard drive.
    Remember that you will need to use the Combo Updater, not the "delta" update from Software Update, if you want to be sure this will work. The reason for this is that you need to be sure the components for the newer Mac are included in the OS, which the original DVD install obviously does not have and the "delta" updates may not have.
    Get the combo updater here:

  • Will Now Up-To-Date work with Lion?

    I have been using Now Up-To-Date for many years.  Before I upgrade to Lion I'd like to know if it will still work, and if not what I can do to transfer the data to another program.

    Find the application in the Finder. Click on it once. Then go to the Finder's menu bar and look for File->Get Info.
    In the Get Info window, look for the application type. It will be listed as PPC, Intel, or Universal.
    If it's PPC, it won't run in Lion. PPC applications require either a PPC-based Mac or Rosetta on an Intel Mac. Lion does not include and cannot run Rosetta.
    If it's Intel or Universal, it ought to work. I still can't guarantee that it will work; sometimes applications are annoyingly OS-version-specific. But if it's not a PPC application, you most likely will have no trouble.
    You can always create a partition on your hard drive for Snow Leopard and boot into that whenever you need to run older software.

  • MacBook Spring 2010 Snow Leopard won't work with External Samsung Monitor

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook I purchased about a month ago and it's not working with my Samsung SyncMaster 940 BW. I am using Mini DisplayPort out with a Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adaptor which goes into my SyncMaster Monitor. I have tried rebooting, and also playing around with my laptop resolution, but otherwise I have no idea what to do about this.
    I've read on the discussions that this is a known Snow-Leopard issue but I thought I might post to see if this has been resolved. I run all the updates but the monitor still isn't working?

    A better place to post would be in the The MacBook Pro Display (2008 and Later) forum:

  • Install snow leopard on macbook air with lion?

    i´m trying to install snow leopard on my macbook air from a macbook with os x 10.7
    there is no remote install app anymore!
    Any ideas???

    What? If you have a MacBook with Lion how are you using it to install Snow Leopard (which you don't have) on a MacBook Air?
    Or is your subject correct and you have purchased a MacBook Air that came with Lion and you are trying to install Snow Leopard on it?

  • FCP X is just as tetchy with Snow Leopard as it is with Lion

    I did a clean install of Snow Leopard on one of my internal drives.
    Now I have the choice of Lion or Snow Leopard to run FCP X (installed it on both).
    So far, I can see no improvement at all with FCP X on SL.
    Can anybody suggest an operation that runs better with Snow Leopard?
    Andy

    For some reason FCPX runs much better with Snow than Lion on my old Mac Pro. If I understand your question right, rendering is faster, it opens faster, there is no stuttering and I always use playback: High Quality, it never crashes.  And I have no memory leak, on the contrary FCPX only uses 4-5 GB. I have another volume with Lion and FCPX and an can clearly see the difference when I switch. But I have no clue what is going on. Maybe my computer likes Snow better.

  • Will iWeb 06 work with Lion?

    Like the title states, Will the original iWeb still work with Lion? I can't stand the new versions and the old iweb always works perfect for me. Any ideas?

    If you want to continue to use iWeb, then when Lion is released, I would use the latest version which is iWeb 09 that was part of either iLife 09 or iLife 11.
    iWeb 09 has been tested and has been found to work with Lion.

  • Reinstalling Snow Leopard MacBook Air into Mavericks/Lion

    Hi!
    I have a MacBook Air from 2011 with Snow Leopard on it. I want to wipe my hardrive clean and install either Lion or Mavericks on it. The problem with the 2011 model with Snow Leopard is that you cannot reboot and reinstall it without a USB key, right? So, if I install either Lion or Mavericks on the computer before I reinstall it, will that give me an option to reinstall without an USB key, or is it a permanent condition for the Macbook Air from 2011 to be without an Internet recovery mode?
    Thanks in advance!

    While not exactly answering your specific questions, my advice:  Partition your hard drive for a new 2nd partition of about 80% of the remaining capacity.  Install Lion or Mavericks into the new partition.
    That way you have a Snow Leopard partition to work with by "dual-booting" (Startup Disk in System Preferences).  If you discover that some of your software will not work in Lion/Mavericks, you have the Snow Leopard option to work with them.
    Reinstalling Snow Leopard after a complete wipe/install Lion or Mavericks will be very difficult and time consuming.
    BACK UP BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!
