snow leopard

I have an Early 2011 13" MBP. Last of the Snow Leopard era, and technically last that can run a BootCamp version capable of running XP. What I'm wondering is if the cutoff is the 2009s, 2010s, or 2011s.

Dear all, is there anybody out there who can help me an image of Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or 10.6.7 that can be used for full installation of the OS? Just the update to 10.6.6 is not sufficient. I received an old MacBook that has been produced between 2/2011 and 10/2011 without CDs and OS for...

The Mac OS X Theming WikiPost Original revision: 7 July 2023 Overview During the 2000s and early 2010s, customizing the look and feel of Mac OS X was common-place within the Mac community. Sites like MacThemes were constantly creating new themes, icon packs and docks to enhance (or overhaul)...

It’s late, and I may return to edit this after some rest… Short story long: I ran FileVault on a Snow Leopard box for years until the SATA bus on which the FileVault sparseimage had been living started having trouble (the SATA bus, not the drive or volume). After pulling the drive from the...

I have a bit of a strange situation.. I managed to get Snow Leopard working on my 2012 MacBook Pro Ivy Bridge (Unsupported i7 CPU) but I really want to get some basic video support (multiple resolutions) working. Even without GPU accelleration games etc. run really well but they either run in a...

Hey, this thread is an updated version. My previous thread had stated issues about many things but I have corrected most of them. Last of the issues are that there is no backlight but shows the desktop when light is flashed through the apple. I did find the fuse F9800 and found it to be faulty...

I am having the worst time trying to install an older OSX on a second drive on 10.13.6. I have a early 2009 Mac Pro 2.23 8 core, yada yada. I need to install DVD Studio Pro with FCP 7. Need to use DVD SP. I have formatted external, internal as well as USB drives and have tried to load Mavericks...

Some years ago I stored some officials documents on an external western digital hard drive, I also thought it was cool to decrypt them. The operating system was snow leopard, and most of the the files are (.jpegENX) Of course I no longer own a Mac, and I need some of these files to fill in the...

Greetings! macOS .0 updates over the past couple of years have been pretty buggy lately. Last time we got an update that focused on bug fixes and improvements was Mac OS X Snow Leopard. It was (and kinda still is) considered the greatest macOS version to be made. Now that brings us to today...

I have an old Intel iMac running snow leopard version 10.6.8 and I am in the process of backing up my iPhoto library to the iCloud iDrive through Firefox browser. As far I know there is no way to use iCloud on this OS version so my only option is create folders and to save picture files up...

I’ve been trying to make Mojave look like Snow Leopard, but one thing I couldn’t find was a theme for System Preferences. So I made my own. It’s my first theming project and I decided to share it, even though I don’t think anyone will care about it, since Mojave has been out of support for a...

Hello all. I'll jump straight to the issue: my goal is to run Final Cut 7 on a Macbook Air. I have a 2007 iMac devoted to this purpose but finding myself travelling a lot, I would like to edit on the move using the lightest and most economical solution (small screen size is not an issue as I...

Despite the EPSON driver download webpage correctly sensing that my parent's old iMac was running Snow Leopard and offering a specific driver install package and the install going smoothly, the unit does not print anything on the page. The printer seems to move (paper and print head(s))...

On a one-to-ten priority scale of importance, this one ranks just below a “1”. But since it happens every time, and since I was in the middle of doings things today when it happened, I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to ask. If you use 10.6.8 on a Mac which is designed to run 10.6.8 (as supported by...

The web is getting more and more bloated. Even with TenFourFox FPR 32 Intel on Snow Leopard (2.93GHz, 8GB RAM, NVIDIA 9600M GT 512MB) the modern YouTube.com is unusable due to how slow everything functions (even with uBlock legacy). Yes, I know there are other browser options and tweaks, but I...

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Zsf0cNNdebSRWJEcBIxclZLQq1qLn2kQ?usp=sharing Here is a folder of every wallpaper bundled with OS X Snow Leopard. I ripped this in it's original quality from my 2006 MacBook Pro, so enjoy!

I’m sure there’s probably a simple technical explanation behind this which I haven’t yet found on MR or elsewhere. Maybe the resident GPU experts on here — ahem, @Amethyst1 — might have some insight. Why would neofetch report a MacBookPro4,1’s GPU not as a GeForce 8600M GT, but as… an Intel HD...

Hey everyone, I’m currently seeking old Mac OS 10.5 to 10.7 demo software, users or backups of those. Could these files may still exist in the Apple asw? If you have something or you know where I’ll be able too get this software please write me a message.

I have a 2009 pre-unibody Macbook (Macbook 5,2) running OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard). I understand that a machine this old might be tricky (or not worth it) to repair, but I'd like to take a stab at it if possible. In the last week or so, it has been suffering from intermittent but frequent system...
