If you're running a version of Snow Leopard older than the 10.6.8 version, then you have to update to the latest version of Snow Leopard before you can install Mavericks.
#INSTALL MAC OS X VERSION 10.6 UPGRADE#
Once you've checked your hardware, it's time to check your software.Īpple says you can upgrade to OS X Mavericks directly if you're running Snow Leopard (version 10.6.8), Lion (10.7) or Mountain Lion (10.8). So a little patience might save some anxiety later. Now one family member quietly resents me and seethes every time she uses her iPhone. And once you update, it's hard to unwind it. In my house, we installed iOS 7 right away on our iPhone 4, causing it to seriously slow down. One tip for people who have some of the oldest machines that are still eligible: You might want to wait just a few weeks before installing Mavericks and check to see what kind of experience people are having with it.

Still, Apple's official list of machines that can run Mavericks is as follows: iMacs bought as far back as mid-2007 MacBooks as old as the late 2008 aluminum model or newer MacBook Pro models from mid- to late 2007 or newer MacBook Air models from late 2008 or newer Mac Mini models from early 2009 or newer Mac Pro from early 2008 or newer and Xserve from early 2009. Chances are that it is, since Apple seems to be trying to make it as widely available as possible. And along with new features such as iBooks, some stalwarts like Safari, Maps and Calendar all get some snazzy improvements.īut before you hit the download button, there are a few things you might want to know about Mavericks and your own machine.įirst, you'll want to check that your Mac or MacBook is actually compatible. There's a fresh, new look along with potentially longer battery life. Please correct me if this belief is wrong.And there are certainly some nice goodies that would make this a worthwhile update. Also I think applications can run faster in a hardware with workstation OS (rather than server version). Calkwalk Dimension) only support 10.6 currently, I need to down-grade from Lion server to Snow Leopard workstation. Operating systems are put at SSD, and data is put at traditional harddisk. In fact I want to make use of its strongest computing power (amongst available Mac Mini computers in store), quad-core CPU & dual disks, to run music applications (DAWs).
Since I want to put all OS software at the SSD (faster boot-up and better performance), the drawback is that each partition is with less space.ĭo you guys have other ideas or suggestions? So there will be 4 partitions, including 10.7 server, 10.6 client, 10.7 recovery drive and bootcamp for Windows 7. If 10.6 client can be installed, I shall use bootcamp to install Windows 7 also. Snow Leopard workstation 10.6 will be installed at this new partition. (B) The factory-installed OSX 10.7 server is kept, and one more partition is created (with Disk Utilties). So there will be 2 partitions to be usable aparently. Of course I would like to keep this server software for investment protection, no matter I use it or not. So I shall not be able to re-install server version again if I want to change this Mac to a server sometimes afterwards.
Also, it seems to me that installation disk of 10.7 server will not be provided.

But I am not sure whether all hardware drivers for the new Mac Mini (2011) are available in the 10.6 client disk. (A) The boot disk (likely to be the SSD) will be re-formatted and re-installed by "clean" installation of 10.6 client. Please advise the best approach from the followings (or more suggestions from you guys.). Previously I have already purchased retailed version of 10.5 clients and 10.6 client upgrade.
I want to use Snow Leopard (client/workstation) instead. I am ordering a Mac Mini Server with Lion Server 10.7, with 256GB SSD and 750GB HD.
