snow leopard

Hello Everyone! I am music composer working in TV and film. I'm writing the music for a documentary and want to use some legacy software which needs to run on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 I bought a second hand Mac Pro westmere 2010 which originally shipped with OS 10.6.4 I rather foolishly thought it...

I don’t know of a MacBook Pro with a trackpad that large with a button that thin. The first attached clip comes from the 10.6.8 version of Trackpad prefPane, but several more like this can be found in the 10.5.8 version of the same (like the second clip). I’m speculating when I ask whether...

Whilst looking for ways to get some level of basic emoji support for the Clouded Leopard project (Snow Leopard for PowerPC), I learnt of a nifty way to integrate a basic, early emoji support for Snow Leopard, Leopard, and even Tiger. This workaround for what I guess amounts to backmojis can be...

Hello, I’m running a Late 08 Macbook (Polycarbonate) with Snow Leopard on it. I’ve tried so many browsers and I can’t find one with discord working perfectly, Chrome hogs RAM and doesn’t load server icons, and all mozilla based browsers are stupidly slow. I downgraded from Lion which I used...

When Snow Leopard was released, a lot of people (myself included) were upset that Apple changed the behavior of Exposé. Before Snow Leopard, Exposé arranged the windows in their original arrangement, with their relative sizes retained. This made it easy to find windows quickly, making Exposé the...

Finding web browsers that are still usable on today’s web can be a chore for older versions of OS X. The following is a list of known, up-to-date (or relatively up-to-date) and maintained web browsers, e-mail clients, and FTP clients, for Intel Macs with at least Snow Leopard support, then Lion...

I have a 2014 MacBook Pro and want to use PPC software that is on a 2007 Mac. It needs to run on Snow Leopard as it is only compatible with Power PC. The software is Quicken for Mac 2007 and it is the version that is only runs on PPC. Is it possible to use Parallels 16 to run the software...

I was using my 2007 Macbook and I (foolishly) tried inserting a random 12V/3AMP AC adaptor into a cheap USB Hub I have whilst it was plugged into my macbook and then my macbook immediately shut off and hasn't booted back up. I've tried removing battery and resetting the SMC, the magsafe...

Hello! I want to create a partition for installing Ubuntu on my old Mac Book Pro OS X 10.5.8. Unfortunately I got stuck in bootcamp trying to create that partition, because of en error caused by some files that can not be moved. There are numerous helpful threads about it that I read (problem...

This probably belongs under the Snow Leopard PPC project thread, given its appearance on the 10A96 Server build of Snow Leopard: Might anyone here who’s been around back-end development of Macs going back to 2008 be familiar with what the (ultimately unused) preference pane called...

Since the latest Tumblr update in July, I have no longer been able to view my Tumblr dashboard. Basically it only loads for a few seconds and then the screen goes blank. Apparently that's because the version of Firefox I'm using is no longer supported, but in order to update it I'd have to...

I have a copy of my Snow Leopard install DVD on ISO (I used PowerISO under Windows 10 in BootCamp to rip it). When I try to launch it in VMware Fusion 11, Fusion says that it doesn't recognize the OS as Mac OS X Server. I have looked this up, and I still have no idea why it would say this, other...

I know, not PPC and it has been asked before but never answered. Apparently the LWK tweaks don't seem to work on SL's "current" version 5.1.10 of Safari. Does anyone know why LWK works on 10.5 (and partly Tiger) but not on 10.6? I known for current browsers there is ArcticFox and combined with...

I've just installed snow leopard on a Late 2010 MBA with 4 gig RAM. I did this so that I could install WinXP in Bootcamp. Now my question: what's the newest OS that I can update to that will preserve my WinXP bootcamp? Thanks for any information you can provide. -- Carl

Right now on Snow Leopard (yes, some of us still use it) there is one viable web browser- Arctic-Fox https://github.com/wicknix/Arctic-Fox/wiki and YouTube is now starting to warn people using it that it'll soon no longer be supported. Now, I don't know about you all but losing YouTube really...

Hi, I just bought a Mac Pro 5.1. Single Processor Xeon 2.8 Ghz and ATI Radeon HD 5770. The computer came with Snow Leopard installed so my next step was to begin the upgrade process to at least High Sierra until I buy a Metal compatible GPU. The problem I came up with was that I foolishly...

In lieu of a wiki thread on here for applications and peripherals which are known to be compatible for Snow Leopard (i.e., having a "The Snow Leopard Thread”), I have found a wiki elsewhere (and a companion utility which checks the table of that wiki) which affords one with a means to check...

Hello, I currently have an 27" Mid-2010 iMac i5 2.8 with a 1TB HDD installed. The problem is, it has Snow Leopard installed and it doesn't have a recovery drive for me like OS X nowadays does to easily erase your HDD and reinstall Mac OS X. But with Snow Leopard, you were unable to do that...

Hi there! I have a 13" 2017 macbook pro, running High Sierra. I'm trying to boot a cloned Snow Leopard OS (Carbon Copy Cloner backup) from an external drive, but keep getting the 'Prohibited' / 'No Access' icon (see attached image) after I choose the drive in Startup Manager. I've tried this...
