SQL Anywhere 16 fails to install on Mac

SQL Anywhere 16 fails to install on Mac (Mac OS version 10.7.5). Setup application says "Internal error"

Hi Vladimir,
Do you have a machine with 10.8 you could try installing SQL Anywhere on? 10.7 is not a supported or tested platform for version 16.
Thanks,

I've installed LION. Is it possible to put Snow Leopard on an external hard drive?

I've installed LION. Is it possible to put Snow Leopard on an external hard drive?

I was unaware of this change for usb support! However Babowa makes a good point in that you would probably not want to run SL via USB and rather Firewire.
Having said that, the 13" MacBooks do not have firewire.
But again as Babowa points out, that machine wouldn't be able to run Lion anyway.

Do I need to install the drivers on my old Mac Pro disc or from my Snow Leopard disc?

Hi,
I've got a 2008 Mac Pro (dual quad @ 3GHz) w/ 24GB RAM and I've got Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit installed. What do I need to install?
On my newer 2009 iMac (which included Mac OS X 10.6) I just inserted that disc specific to the iMac and installed the drivers, but the disc for my Mac Pro is old (10.5.2) do I need to install the drivers on it or not? Can I just insert my Snow Leopard 10.6 disc to install Boot Camp etc., or won't that include drivers for the Mac Pro? The Mac Pro is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply,
I have both the silver discs specific to my iMac and Mac Pro models that you receive with your Mac, and a general copy of Snow Leopard that you buy from the store.
I used the silver disc that is specific for my iMac to install the drivers, and Boot Camp 3.0 on my iMac. But with the Mac Pro, the software is older and only has Boot Camp 2.0, thus I'm wondering if I can simply use the software on the general copy of Snow Leopard I own, or does the silver disc contain specific drivers for my Mac Pro that I need?
I'm under perhaps the wrong impression that the silver discs that you get with your Mac purchase contain drivers for your specific Mac model which you can't get from the general Snow Leopard disc.
Thanks.

My Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. how to why install OS X Mountain Lion ?

my Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. how to why install OS X Mountain Lion ?

How?
Upgrading to Mountain Lion - http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade
Mac OS X: System requirements for Mountain Lion (10.8) - http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html
Lion and Mountain Lion application compatibility - http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Kappy 08/2012 post on upgrading to Snow Leopard, then Lion or Mountain Lion - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19401628 - including how to get Snow Leopard and Lion since Apple removed them from the online store.
MacBook upgrade possibilities - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19577869 - "The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion."
Why? Good question. I am a strong believer in not upgrading just because something new comes out, especially if you are running older equipment. I would say unless you see a need for it, just stick with Snow Leopard until something comes along that absolutely requires Mountain Lion.

Can I install Tiger on Mac OS X 10.6.2 Snow Leopard?

I am using Mac mini and my OS version MAC OS X 10.6.2 Snow leopard and it was as default with my Mac mini,
Can I install Tiger 10.4 on my current Mac mini in different location as dual boot?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
No Mac can install an older Mac operating system than shipped with it.
The only minor exception is Macs which shipped with Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X, but those ones only could run the Mac OS 9 that came with it and newer one, and Mac OS X that came with it and newer one up to the limitations of the hardware.
Also no Mac can install an operating system disc from a different Mac that is different either in model or vintage.
If you are missing compatibility with your new Mac Mini for a specific application, please check

Re: New Garage Band - I have Mac OS X 10.6.8, Snow Leopard, and Garage Band 11. If I download/install the new GB, will I lose GB 11? And will it run on Snow Leopard?

Re: New Garage Band - I have Mac OS X 10.6.8, Snow Leopard, and Garage Band 11. If I download/install the new GB, will I lose GB 11? And will it run on Snow Leopard?

then had to find out (same as with this issue) that I presently have other software that will not run on Maverics.
You could create a clone of your drive with all your current software, so you could continue to work with your Snowleopard software by booting from the clone, and upgrade your main system to Mavericks, if your computer supports Mavericks. This way, you could have both, if the new features of Mavericks are interesting to you - e.g-, iCloud syncing of multiple Macs, new sharing features, and for GarageBand automatic drummers and arpeggiators.

I have paid and downloaded LION and want to update my IMAC, can i just run install and it keep photos settings etc from Snow Leopard or is a full reinstall with wiped hard drive, anyone have any experience of this and do i need to run a backup beforehand?

Always backup your important data before upgrading to a new Mac OS X.
Lion doesn't erase the drive but better to be safe than sorry.
And run Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities). Verify and if necessary repair the startup disk before upgrading.
Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
Before upgrading read here > Lion upgrade questions and answers: Apple Support Communities
And here > What applications are not compatible with Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion"? What upgrade or substitute options are available for common incompatible applications? @ EveryMac.com

Xcode 3.2.6 Will Not Install On Mac OSX 10.6.8

I am unable to install Xcode 3.2.6 on OSX 10.6.8, despite the fact that Apple's own documentation claims this will work. I am receiving an "unknown error". While this useless information leads me nowhere and provides no details about what went wrong, it does tell me that the error is fairly normal and lots of people will experience it (since that's how garbage companies do business). This is why no good explaination is offered as to why the error occured, so that Apple can rake in support and upgrade money. I get it, it's a scumbag tactic by a scumbag company, and that's fine, everyone does it. However, I am not satisfied with this as a final answer.
I have 14GB of free space on my Macbook, which is enough for the 10.26GB that Xcode 3.2.6 requires. Please, don't bother telling me I should "free more space", if my computer does not function correctly just because the harddrive is getting full, I will be suing for breach of contract, among other things. Looking into that matter now, in fact. It's interesting that the company provides such useless "free" software, and then later can make it non-functioning.
I am not willing to re-download the file (took hours on Apple's horrible connection) nor am I willing to upgrade to Snow Leopard, because it's a functionless money-grab and I am not willing to buy into it. This should not be necessary, since Xcode 3.2.6 is supposed to work on 10.6.8.
Can someone please point me to either a fix for this issue or a functioning version of the software? I'd prefer the latter, but if someone knows where an actual working copy of the software is, I'll take that too.
Thanks,
A disillusioned Mac user.

Yes I've read every one of them, none of them provide solutions whatsoever, I have spent about ten hours on this site in the past two days to no avail, none of the "resolved" threads provided any sort of solution for me, I have tried everything suggested on this website so far, multiple times, to no avail.

Don't know if this is a Lion only issue or what. I've sent the full log to palmlevel3. Hope this keeps someone from ripping their hair out, like I did...
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

this issue was particularly upsetting today, as my phone was at 100% last night, during the night Irene knocked our power out, and apparently something about this drained by battery to only 40% when I woke up. Luckily my laptop is charged, so I can usb charge my phone, but I had hoped to use that later in the day, not first thing in the morning.
hopefully a resolution to this is being worked on.

I installed 10.6.8 through Live Update, now Snow Leopard doesn't start at all! And I don't even have my Leopard DVD here! What should I do?

Two days I ago I installed 10.6.8 through Live Update. But, since then, I can't open Snow Leopard! Everytime I got the grey page and the request to reboot turning the Macbook off and then on. I could use Safe Mode, used Utility to repair all the processes and deleted any cache but nothing, tried a procedure of renaming the kernel found on the net and now I can't even open the Safe Mode. I don't even have here my Snow Leopard dvd! What should I do? Called the customer service twice but not that great help. Can I try to use another Snow Leopard dvd (i.e. from a friend of mine)? Should I format the partition and reinstall it? I'm really angry about this, got this Macbook since less than one year and it crashes after an autoupdate, probably forcing me to 700 km x 2 trip to get that dvd (and of course those of any other app I got?!)? Grrr.

... tried a procedure of renaming the kernel found on the net ...
If you've been doing things like that, you probably destroyed your system. You need the installation disc that came with the machine. Another one won't work, unless it's for the same model.
I'm really angry about this, got this Macbook since less than one year and it crashes after an autoupdate ...
It failed to boot because of incompatible third-party system modifications that you installed. We know that, because it started in safe mode. Then, instead of removing the modifications, which would have solved your problem, you did something that immobilized the machine completely. You should not have updated the OS without having an installation disc available, and you shouldn't be using a computer at all without backups. Apple can't protect you from the consequences of making bad choices.

Cannot install GoLive 8.01 0n new MacBook Pro/Snow leopard

Purchased a brand new MacBook Pro (with the new Snow leopard) so I could leave my house and still work.
The most important application I use is Adobe golive CS2 8.01.
I have the 6.0 disk, and the upgrade registration number but they will not install in the MacBook Pro/Snowleaopard. I've tried 50 times. It will allow an install of the 6.0, but says my registration number is invalid for the upgrade.
Adobe doesn't support the product anymore on any level. I'm beside myself. The laptop is worthless to me without that application.
I've tried replacing the keylogin, prefs reinstalls etc... nothing.
I'm desperate. If anyone has any ideas, please help.

wonder is you upgrade with GL INSTALLED ON YOUR LAPTOP...IT SHOULD STILL WORK...
let me know if you try it..
i'm thinking of downgrading the OS on the laptop, install GL and then upgrade back to SL... too much freakin work!

Downgrading, install GL, then upgrade sounds like a good move. Let me know if it works... if you do it. I understand the frustration of having to go to all this trouble. I've had my share of problems lately. First my MBP hard drive went bad. Had to reinstall everything. Then I took it on a trip so I could keep up with client work, and it died again. Took it to Apple in Portland, Maine. They had to ship it off for repairs again. This time the Logic Board and Video Display. Now my G5 is acting up again. Often too busy to deal with it.
I'll follow along to see how things go for you. Keep us posted if you would.

Just installed windows 7 on my macbook (os x snow leopard) using bootcamp. I can't get back to my mac now. I've tried logging off of windows and shutting it down. when i restart it comes back on in windows. How do I get back to my os x?

Just installed windows 7 on my macbook (Mac OS X Snow Leopard) using bootcamp. Windows 7 works great, but I can't get back to my Snow Leopard. When I log off or shut down Windows and try to start up again, all I get is Windows. How do I get back to my mac operating system?

If your Mac is off then start up. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the Option key until the Mac and Windows Disks show up. Then click on the Mac disk and the arrow below it. After it boots up in Mac then go to System Preferences>Startup Disk and select your Mac partition as the Startup disk.
If you are in Windows then look for the Boot Camp icon on the taskbar. It will look like a gray box sitting on one corner. One of the options when you click it is to restart in Mac OS. After it boots up in Mac then go to System Preferences>Startup Disk and select your Mac partition as the Startup disk.

Canon ip4000r won't install on MacBook Pro or MacBook Air with Snow Leopard

Our MBA, MBP, iMac and Mini all worked flawlessly with my Canon ip4000r while running Leopard. However, the ip4000r disappeared from all 4 with Snow Leopard. I have since downloaded and installed the updated drivers on all four machines, but only the iMac and Mini have detected and installed the ip4000r. The MBP and MBA both refuse to install the ip4000r.
The printer is detected by (and manageable/configurable by) the Canon IJ Printer Utility and Canon IJ Network Tool apps on both machines; however, whenever I attempt to add the printer, it is not detected by the Add Printer utility. I have downloaded and tried drivers directly from Canon (ip4000rosxcp102600ea8-2.dmg) and from the Apple support site (the 2.1 update) -- neither of which has worked. I have spent over a week on this and am at a loss as to why the printer installs on the desktop machines (iMac and the Mini), but not on the portables (MBP and MBA). Any ideas?
Thanks!

The 10.26 driver includes a network protocol, canonijnetwork, that is used to advertise the printer on your wireless network. To add the network printer using this driver, you use the Default browser view. The previous method of More Printers > Canon IJ Network is not used anymore.
Note that if Canon IJ Network is still available on your Mac then it is a leftover from upgrading from Leopard. A clean install of 10.6 and v2.70 of the Canon IJ Network Tool will not add this view.
So with the 10.26 driver installed, select to Add and then the Default browser view. The printer can take as long as 20 seconds to appear. When it does appear, it will show its name with its MAC address in brackets, such as (00.00.85.xx.xx.xx). Also, in the Kind column, canonijnetwork will be shown. Select this entry and the Print Using menu should automatically change to Canon iP4000R.
If the printer does not show after 30 seconds then something could be blocking this. The built-in firewall, located in System Preferences > Security > Firewall, can stop the network printer being displayed. Also, the Parallels application, that lets you run Windows in a virtual machine on your Mac, is also known to stop the printer from being seen. If you do have Parallels, then you will need to disable the virtual network ports. Not quite sure how this is done but if you check this forum or the Parallels web site, you should be able to find the workaround.
