Mac os x 10.6 8 upgrade11/13/2023 There may be a Firmware update for your computer model, whichever exact one it is. Your computer likely would need a RAM upgrade to near maximum capacity supportedįor best function of both the latest release of Mac OS X, and any applications you'd run.Īlso, the hard disk drive may also need to be replaced with a new larger capacity one. See about Mavericks OS X 10.9.x here, along with links to applications in Support: Jump off the Snow Leopard and Rosetta bandwagon of support for older qualityĪpplications you may have already bought, and have useful relationship with. If it is too old, it may only be upgradable to Lion OS X 10.7.5, not hardly worth a Large file and take quite a bit of time over a slow internet connection. Mac App Store to look into that aspect of getting it, as a download. This is a very congenial community and forum.If your computer can support the newest version of Mavericks 10.9.4, you'd use the In any event, thanks for your helpful input. Any other suggestions? If I do proceed with this research, I will report back. I will certainly be taking snapshots this time around. Having said that, I have a curious mind and it is not in my nature to give up on such matters easily, so I may do a little more experimentation over the weekend to see if I can get a functioning 10.6.8 installed. If I had worked for the time I have spent trying to set this up, I could have paid for that several times over already. And even if I can get OS X 10.6.8 up and running, it will not be as smooth and seamless, or offer as attractive an interface and user experience as the paid competition. Having said that, I am getting the impression that VB is not reliable. I would welcome any suggestions on a solution for this buggy behavior. Most annoying about this is the fact that when I go to quit an app with the keyboard shortcut, command-Q, it wants to quit the VM. The first, most obvious shortcoming is the fact that it does not seem to be capturing keyboard postings, in spite of the capture indicator suggesting that it should. I had already tried that combination on more than one occasion.Įven though I have a nominally functional OS installed it is hardly working in what I would consider an acceptable fashion. Finally worked without CPU redirection and without Rosetta. Tried with and without the CPU redirection. So I began to just remove the old and create new machines each time it failed. Sometimes I could restart the virtual machine and try again, although second tries seem never to work. However, install repeatedly failed, early in the process. So here is what I did, which eventually worked, although I must say rather unpredictably:ġ) Create new Virtual Machine using OS X 64 default settings.Ģ) Insert installer disc into optical drive and close when it opens in the finder.ģ) Start up VM, select optical drive, and wait while command lines are processed - 3 mins or so.Ĥ) Proceed with install to the point when the option to do housekeeping is offered.ĥ) Run Disk Utility and erase the virtual hard disk, this will provide a target disk for installation.Ħ) Proceed with install. I may try the redirection later, to see if it facilitates the updating process. What finally worked, thus far, was to run the install without the CPU redirection. Trying to install with Rosetta seemed to hang the install. And I was able only to do a basic install, without modification of the default settings, i.e. It took about a dozen attempts, with and without the CPU redirection (rpmurray's command line), with and without Rosetta, before I was able to replicate my previous success. Promised I would report on my experience with my attempt to reinstall Snow Leopard, and here it is.
