So thanks again

I did send this to the WAMUG Mailing list when Snow Leopard was  
released and probably again at some time.
But after Chris mentioning he did not know how to Prepare for Snow  
Leopard, I have sent it again just in case there are people wishing  
to upgrade to SL.


Prepare for and Installation of Snow Leopard

1. Check your Computer can install & run Snow Leopard:


2. a) Check all your Applications you might be running and see if  
they have updates.
b) Clean Up your computer. Uninstall old software you no longer  
use or require (if you don’t have the uninstaller for the  
application, download & use AppZapper: http://www.appzapper.com/,  
delete any files you no longer need.
c) If you use any add-on software such as plug-ins for mail or  
programs that rely on input managers such as 1Password & Google  
Desktop, make sure you have upgraded to Snow Leopard-compatible  
versions before you upgrade.


(A software compatibility check is included in the installation that  
has a list of known “bad” apps, and disables them. Those programs  
are moved to an “Incompatible Software” folder.)

Note:   
Installation initially triggers a large chunk of data to be copied  
from the installation DVD to the user’s primary hard drive. The bulk  
of the installation is then managed from the hard drive, speeding up  
the installation process considerably. After a successful  
installation, that large chunk of data is automatically removed.


3. Check that your Printer will work in Snow Leopard. Mac OS X v10.6  
Printer & Scanner software included on the Snow Leopard Install DVD:  



4. Repair Permissions on your computer.

5. BACKUP your Computer & check your backup before you commence the  
Installation


6. Disconnect any peripheral devices (external USB or Firewire  
devices, unplug them from your system before doing the upgrade)


7. Decide whether you are going to install Snow Leopard as A)  
Automatic Upgrade or B) Erase and Install.

A) AUTOMATIC UPGRADE: This is the default install.
“The Snow Leopard installer’s single upgrade method attempts to make  
the transition as simple as possible by leaving almost all your  
files, applications, and settings in place. The installer simply  
replaces
all the components of your old Mac OS X installation with their Snow  
Leopard equivalents, and it deletes those that are obsolete.”


B) ERASE & INSTALL:
This will give a fresh install, erasing your entire disk and  
installing a clean copy of OS X 10.6.


8. OK, if you are ready  … YOU HAVE BACKED UP … right!

9. Insert the Snow Leopard DVD and double-click the Install Mac OS X  
icon.

A window appears with two buttons: Utilities and Continue.
Click Continue:
The Software License Agreement appears next; click Agree to proceed  
with the installation.


10. If you only have one volume on your computer it will already be  
selected.


11. If you don’t wish to customise what software is installed, click  
the Install button, when asked are you sure you want to install Mac  
OS X, click Install again; then enter an administrator username and  
password, click OK.
Make your self a cup of tea (or pour a glass of wine )… only don’t  
spill any on or near your computer.


DON’T INTERRUPT THE INSTALLATION.
The Default Installation should only take around 30mins. (I did a  
Customise install and it only took approx. 45mins.)


12. When the installation is finished, a Restart button appears—but  
if you don’t happen to be paying attention at the time, your Mac  
restarts by itself after 30 seconds—this time under Snow Leopard.


The first time you use Snow Leopard, a program called Mac OS X Setup  
Assistant runs. You’ll know that’s what’s happening when you see the  
animated “Welcome” message and hear the music playing.


Because you performed an automated upgrade, you needn’t manually  
enter information in Setup Assistant (which you had to do with older  
Mac OS X installers, and which you still must do in an Erase and  
Install upgrade).


On the Thank You screen, click Continue to quit Setup Assistant and  
begin using Snow Leopard.


That’s it … that is the Installation done!

BUT … one more thing to do  …
13.  Repair Permissions


Cheers,
Ronni

 After Migration you find it better to Open your Applications the first 
 time from within Applications folder, not from the Dock.
 That often corrects the ? in the dock.

 I always suggest before upgrading to Snow Leopard that people check their 
 Applications and Upgrade any PowerPC Applications to Universal versions 
 (if they exist).
 
 I would go through all your applications and check for updates.
 Use System Profiler to check all your Applications, it will show if 
 Universal, Intel, or PowerPC.
 
 Obviously, Classic or OS 9 apps won’t run on an Intel Mac.
 
 Rosetta and Quicktime 7 are both included on the Mac OS X 10.6 
 installation DVD, both are designated as optional installs by default.

Prepare for and Installation of Snow Leopard

[Ronda Brown]

I did send this to the WAMUG Mailing list when Snow Leopard was released and 
probably again at some time.
But after Chris mentioning he did not know how to Prepare for Snow Leopard, I 
have sent it again just in case there are people wishing to upgrade to SL.

Prepare for and Installation of Snow Leopard

1. Check your Computer can install & run Snow Leopard:


2. a) Check all your Applications you might be running and see if they have 
updates.
b) Clean Up your computer. Uninstall old software you no longer use or 
require (if you don’t have the uninstaller for the application, download & use

that rely on input managers such as 1Password & Google Desktop, make sure you 
have upgraded to Snow Leopard-compatible versions before you upgrade.

(A software compatibility check is included in the installation that has a list 
of known “bad” apps, and disables them. Those programs are moved to an 
“Incompatible Software” folder.)

is then managed from the hard drive, speeding up the installation process 
considerably. After a successful installation, that large chunk of data is

4. Repair Permissions on your computer.

NO, you can’t delete Applications from within. System Profiler
When you highlight an App
At the bottom of the Window it shows you where it is located.

Unfortunately yes, that is what you will have to do.

Don’t just trash the Apps you need to Uninstall them correclty so you get rid 
of all its preferences etc.
Uninstall old software you no longer use or require (if you don’t have the 
uninstaller for the application, download & use AppZapper: 
http://www.appzapper.com/.

Apple notes that Rosetta “dynamically translates most of your PowerPC-based 
applications to work with your Intel-based Mac. There’s no emulation. No 
second-class status. 
It looks and feels just like it did before. On a Mac, you’d expect nothing 
less.”

Despite Apple’s assurances I was reluctant to install  Rosetta for fears of 
slowing down my MacBook Pro.

I bit the bullet and installed Rosetta and, to my surprise, I noticed no 
appreciable performance loss whatsoever. 
The good news is that Rosetta runs only when needed, otherwise it isn’t even 
loaded. 
It’s also pretty small, weighing in at only 2MB.

You’re welcome Chris, only to pleased to help you.

Ronni

Re: new MBPro & snow leopard

Hi Ronni

Yes it is a very nice machine and it is so good to have some real hard drive 
space and Ram now!!

What a good idea to use System Profiler to check out the Applications! When I 
sorted by Kind, I can actually see how much classic and PowerPC software I 
still have on my machine. You are right, I should have done this before the 
migration, but I didnt know about it!

Is it possible to delete any software from in system profiler somehow, as they 
are all displayed easily. I tried highlighting but cant just 'delete' it?

Other than that I will have to go back and do them one by one which will take 
ages.

I might need a few of the PowerPC apps so will have to install Rosetta. Will 
run nice and fast on this machine (quad core 2.2)?

Thanks heaps Ronni

Chris
