Only if you use the Disk Utility to erase the drive as part of the process or a problem occurs. Back it up first.

    You can go strait to SL, all you need is a retail SL DVD available from Apple for $20. The US online store has them at:

  • Will upgrading to Snow Leopard affect my Windows 7 boot camp partition?

    Hi,
    Did some preliminary searching on this before posting but couldn't find with confidence my answer. Does anybody know? Details below.
    Q: Will upgrading to Snow Leopard affect my Windows 7 boot camp partition?
    I'm running 10.5.8 on a single drive with two partitions. 1st partition for OS-x is extended (journaled), 2nd partiction (ntfs) has solid version of Windows 7 RC, build 7100 running.
    Thanks.

    Hi Michael,
    here are some nice 'Myths and Facts' about Intel Macs and BootCamp http://refit.sourceforge.net/myths/
    Bottom line: while not exactly needed for installing Windows on an Intel-based Mac, the BootCamp Assistant 'streamlines' the process with a nice GUI (no need for 'cryptic' Terminal commands).
    Mac OSX as of now (10.5 Leopard and above) plus the uptodate firmware for Intel-Macs already include everything needed to install and boot Windows.
    Deleting or reformating an OSX partition does not affect the Windows partition.
    However a repartitioning of course does, if the Windows partition is on the same harddisk.
    But even a repartitioning of any other harddisk (ones that not have the Windows partition on them) does not affect the Windows partition.
    Did that myself when adding/upgrading the harddisks in my Mac Pro.
    Nonetheless, when 'fumbling' with harddisks and partition structure I always have backups of my important files at hand.
    Take care
    Stefan

  • Will upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion create problems within Premiere projects?

    I'm looking at the probability of upgrading from Mac OSX 10.6 to 10.8 (Mountain Lion).  I have to if I want to install or upgrade just about anything at this point.
    I was hoping to wait until the latest Premiere project was finished to avoid creating possible discrepancies between how the project plays back before and after the upgrade.  I'll skip the details and just say that it might be best if I do the upgrade now and install a new GPU to help with the massive amounts of rendering/playback needed.  Will upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion cause any likely problems?  No other Adobe apps are involved with this project.
    I'm running a Mac Pro 5,1 and Adobe CS6.  I have two separate clone drives of my current boot disk as well as a Time Machine back up.  So I can go back if I really need to.  I'll also make sure the project is saved manually elsewhere.
    Thanks for any input!

    I'm Win, not Mac, but I do have a couple saved messages

  • Hi there, I've upgraded my Snow Leopard iMac to Yosemite 10.10.1 and would like to install windows 8.1, but bootcamp keeps telling me my mac only supports windows 7. Is there a way I can change that, please?

    Hi there, I've upgraded my Snow Leopard iMac to Yosemite 10.10.1 and I would like to install Windows 8.1 using bootcamp. However, there's a pop-up saying that my Mac is only supporting Windows 7. Is there a way to change that, please? Thanks

    Please find your Mac Model Identifier from About This Mac -> (More Info) -> System Report -> Hardware and compare it to the following list. If your model identifier appears in this list, you can only install Windows 7.

  • HT4236 So if I update my iphone, I will lose all of my photos, apps and music on my phone?

    So if i update my iphone, I will lose all of my photos, apps and music..correct? None of these things are saved on my computer [except some of the music]...

    You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would any digital camera.  this is covered in the manual.
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    You should transfer all itunes purchases from the iphone to the computer:  File>Transfer Purchases.

  • Upgraded to Snow Leopard/lost all iCal previous info and Firefox bookmarks

    I had previously had a major problem with an Apple automatic update and went thru lots of time and trouble, especially with Safari. After more time than I wanted to spend with Applecare...finally having to do a clean install...I was told all was okay. I still had Safari problems, so I switched to Firefox and was able to import the bookmarks from the old Safari. I was assured that the Snow Leopard was worth doing and would be no problem. So much for that advice. Most everything else seems fine, but all of my data on iCal is lost, as are the bookmarks in Firefox. When I tried to pull same up from Time Machine, I get the message that the version of iCal won't work with this version of Mac OS X. I know the info I want has to be there. Any ideas on how to get that info back? Likewise, bringing Firefox from Time Machine has not found my bookmarks.
    I would love to not spend forever with Applecare once again. It seems nothing is simple these days.

    don't restore the application itself. applications themselves never contain any user data.
    it's all stored in your home directory. for ical quit ical and restore the folder /users/username/library/calendars and for firefox the folder /users/username/library/application support/firefox.

  • Upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mavericks failed - disk is damaged and can't be repaired.

    Hello,
      I'm afraid the answer is exactly what I don't want.  But here is my situation.
      I've been trying to download and install Mavericks - I was running Snow Leopard.  My system was working fine - I wanted to upgrade so that I could run a game on it - but it required Mavericks. 
      Finally, it looked like Mavericks was installing.  Once I restarted my computer, I got the following message:
    "Install Failed. OS X could not be installed on your computer (there's a big scary yellow triangle with an exclaimation point in it below this). The OS X upgrade couldn't be started because the disk Macintosh HD is damaged and can't be repaired. After your computer restarts, back up your data, erase your disk, and try installing again. Click Restart to restart your computer and try installing again."
    Every time I restart, I get the same message, I can't back up my data and erase my disk like it wants me to; it won't let me. I can't get back to my normal computer. I've tried restarting in Safe Mode, but it doesn't work - it just keeps restarting over and over again. If my computer is really this determined to not let me have Mavericks, fine, but I at least want my old computer back. As it is now, I can't do anything on it besides restart it.
    If I could just get to Finder, I could save some files and just reformat it - if the hard disk can be repaired.  Even if it can't, I just need my documents.  Here is the Installer Log:

    Thank you for any help you can give me.

    You are never going to have the option to repair a disk if you are booted from the same disk.
    I think the place to start is boot off your Snow Leopard DVD install disk by holding down the C key on boot up.
    Under Utilities drop down menu  you will have access to Disk Utility.
    From  here you will have the option to repair Disk (ie not grayed out.)
    option: Either insert and wait for the Mac OS X Install DVD window and double-click the Install icon;  or power down, then start up while holding down the "C" key.  Either way, that takes a few minutes.

  • Will upgrading from Snow Leopard "break" CS4 or Lightwave 10, etc. on my Macbook Pro?

    I'm still relativlly unfamiliar with Macs and had a fairly simple question: If I upgrade from OSX 10.6.8 (MacBookPro5,2) to Mountain Lion, will any of my already installed programs (Adobe CS4 programs, Lightwave 10, Corel Painter 11, etc.) be affected or have issues with the newer OS? Should I be asking the individual software makers or perhaps a different Apple forum?
    Thanks,

  • IPhoto launches on startup after upgrade to Snow Leopard

    I am using an Intel Mini and upgraded to Snow Leopard. Now, on startup Iphoto launches and is apparently seeing my Kodak ESP 5 printer as a camera. If I turn off the printer before starting the Mac, iPhoto does not auto-launch. There are no SD Ram cards in the printer that would be confused for a camera connected by USB. Is there any way to fix this?

    Stil_III, this is the reponse I reached from Kodak
    Andrew Healey (13:22:24): I have a 5300 Kodak all in one printer. I have a Mac. I have just installed Mac OS 10.6 and everytime I strat up my machine iPhoto opens and thinks the Kodak printer is a camera and sets it up as a "EasyShare Ai" device. I have checked the Apple support site and a number of other Mac users are experiencing the same issue. I updated the Easy Share software and firmware.
    (13:22:24)[An agent will be with you shortly.]
    (13:22:41 PM)[You are now chatting with Vishal J .]
    Vishal J (13:22:47 PM): Welcome to Kodak, my name is Vishal. Please wait while I review your question.
    Vishal J (13:24:30 PM): As I understand, whenever you turn on your printer, you get popup of camera detected?
    Andrew Healey (13:25:55 PM): No everytime start up my computer iPhoto launches as it thinks I have a camera called EasyShare Ai attached
    Vishal J (13:29:37 PM): I will take care of the issue.
    Vishal J (13:29:57 PM): May I have the Kodak Service Number of the printer? It is located under the Access panel towards the left side on a white bar-coded sticker on the printer.
    Andrew Healey (13:30:41 PM): Sorry but I am at work and do not have access to the printer
    Vishal J (13:30:54 PM): Not a problem.
    Vishal J (13:32:16 PM): Andrew, I would like to inform you that as your Kodak printer has scanner in it. Scanner use the same drivers as the camera. Therefore whenever you turn on the printer, it detects the camera. I would like to inform you that it is normal.
    Andrew Healey (13:33:04 PM): Vishal J but this did not happen with Mac OS 10.5. Is it a new issue?
    Vishal J (13:34:56 PM): Andrew, probably in your Mac OS 10.5 autoplay options would be disabled, as in normal scenarios, autoplay options are enabled so that it can automatically detect the other devices, like your printer, cameras, CD etc.
    Andrew Healey (13:35:46 PM): OK thanks I will check my setiings tonight. Vishal thanks for your help. Andrew
    Vishal J (13:36:02 PM): You are welcome.

    Computer locks up, so I want to reinstall the OS. I had upgraded to Snow Leopard. 
    Tried to do an archive and install from the DVD that came with the computer, but that failed. 
    Tried to do an erase and install, but the install stops somewhere near the end, 13 minutes to go. Tried several times, same result.
    Can't reboot from the install disk, it just ejects the disk and I get the flashing question mark.
    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    I think my hard drive is toast.  When I boot in single user mode, I get the following text:
    CSRHID Transition Driver: start booting in single user... will wait for window server
    Then the following text appears, repeating itself over and over, except that the numbers (indicated by "xxxxxxx")
    SAM Multimedia: READ or WRITE failed, SENSE_KEY = 0x03, ASC = 0x02, ASCQ = 0x00

    Does this indicate a bad hard drive?

  • Upgraded to Snow Leopard & am not able to launch PS CS3 extended. Says I need Java SE 6 runtime.

    I just upgraded to Snow Leopard (OS 10.8.2) from Lopard and am now not able to launch Photoshop CS3 extended. I get a warning that says: To open “Adobe Photoshop CS3,” you need to install a Java SE 6 runtime. Would you like to check for and install one? But when I click on "Install" I'm told it is currently unavailable. I need PS to work! What can I do!?

    Manually download and install it from Oracle.

  • Logic not working after upgrade to Snow Leopard

    I resisted upgrading to Snow Leopard while working on a few projects and just did yesterday. As feared, Logic is not working. It goes through the opening sequence and then when I try to open a project it crashes. I;ve tried rebooting. Same problem. Any ideas? Do I need to reinstall Snow Leopard? Or am I faced with reloading Logic? Any local caches I can delete to try and reset it on next start? Thanks so much.

    Did you check out the links?
    The first link I posted specifically says upgrading to Snow Leopard.
    Here it is again.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3968
    It may not be the solution but the fix is for Snow Leopard.

  • Upgraded to snow leopard and now cannot print

    I purchased an iPhone 4S which forced me to upgrade to snow leopard. I have two Epson printers and an Epson scanner.  Now I cannot print.
    I downloaded Epson updates for the new system from the Apple website hoping that would solve the problem.  It did not.
    Current print issues:
    The print dialogue boxes look like inDesign options, not photoshop or "regular" print options.
    I cannot print :  Error:/System/Library/Printers/Printjobmgr/Contents/MacOS
    Any suggestions on what to do next?  This is very frustrating. 
    Thanks in advance.

    Open the System Preferences program and select the Print tab. Delete the printers and then try installing the printers again.
    I don't know what you mean by:
    The print dialogue boxes look like inDesign options, not photoshop or "regular" print options.
    If this persists you might want to take screenshots and include them.
