You will need this later on. Ok not sure what is up. I bought some DVDs that are 8.5GB so I popped one in, opened up Disk Utility, selected the.dmg file and then hit burn. I got some error message and the DVD ejected so I popped it back in and it showed as Mac OS X Install DVD.
I opened it up and clicked the install, but then it said Operation could not be completed. (OSProductManagerDomain error 100.) Did I do something wrong or miss a step? Thanks to whoever can help out cause most of my roommates have Macs to and we really want to get this.
Description: Mac OS X version 10.6 'Snow Leopard' is the seventh major release of Mac OS X, Apple?s desktop and server operating system. The upgrade to Mac OS X focuses on improving performance, efficiency and reducing its overall memory footprint compared to its predecessor Mac OS X v10.5?Leopard?, rather than new end-user features.

When i burn it i get Verification Error x03. I am upgrading from Tiger. I decided not to make a Clean Install just in case. I have 130 Gb left of my HD which i believe is large enough for this OS. Then the install goes well until minute 41 when it said 'Mac OS Could not install the supported files'. Please restart, tried 4 times without success. I might try a different brand of DVD (I am using Verbating now, i think it is ok).
How can i know if my DVD driver is dirty? Any help or ideas with this? I tried this at work today, and I'm happy to say that it worked like a charm. Procedure to make it work properly for those having trouble: First, get a DOUBLE LAYER DVD-R to burn it on (DVD-R (DL)).
Second, lock the.dmg file to avoid altering it accidentally. Third, use Apple's own DISK TOOL to burn it. You do not need to mount it to burn, just drag it to the disk list, select it, and click BURN.
Remember to let the burn verify to avoid bad DVD media. Four, mount it on the desktop, quit all open apps, use Disk Tool to run a verify AND a permission check on your boot disk, and when those are done, install Snow Leopard from the DVD - no need to reboot from the disk.

When I insert the dvd in my mac book pro, it mount the file, and I click on the 'install mac os x' icon. It asks me to restart in order to start the installation.
It does so, but during restart, after reading the dvd for some time, it shows a file with an interrogation point and then simply strat with the hard drive as usual. I used disk tool to verify the disk, and it tells me the disk is fine but will not let me test the permissions, the option is greyed out.
I tried burning twince, and the results are identical. Please let me know if you have any idea for me to do the install, in any way you can think of. Thanks a lot. I have a mac 2.16 GHz intel core duo, with Mac os x 10.4.11. Okay, I've failed this burning four times somehow.
Anyone wanna help a brother out? First tried disk utility, but received an error while verifying the disk.
I tried installing it anyway, and got halfway through when it hit an error. Then, tried Toast 9. First one had an error, another DVD down the drain. Second one, no error, but install wouldn't even start up, and yes, I did hold down c to get it to read from disc. For some reason, toast writes the.dmg itself onto the disc, unlike disk utility which imprinted to.dmg onto the dvd and allowed me to actually select 'install Mac OS X' from the DVD instead of opening the.dmg from the DVD and selecting it from the separate mounted image that popped up. Then, tried disk utility one more time, and it hit an error five minutes in.
So far, four DVDs gone. One left before I have to buy some more. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Running on 10.4.11. Not sure if that would be the problem. If so, would I need to download 10.5 THEN install 10.6 after Leopard is installed? Thanks for the help in advance.
@kyleblakepeters Are you having a bad day? Take it out on someone else plz. I never attacked the uploader.
If you read it that way, then you read it wrong. Personally, I don't mind paying for Snow Leopard when it comes out. But it might be nice to get hands on it a month earlier.
Also, I don't think it is wise to bring in moral and decency as concepts into the 'torrent/warez community'. Because there is no way you can actually morally justify piracy.
It is merely a consequence of our modern society, and one that would be foolish to refuse taking advantage of for preventional reasons. Install Snow Leopard using hard disk partitions: Requirements: Three hard disk partitions internal or external (you could use 2 but 3 recommended) Hard disk partitions setup: Partition 1 - download Snow Leopard disk image here Partition 2 - restore disk image onto this partition Partition 3 - partition to install Snow Leopard on (Partition 3 is optional, you can install onto Partition 1 if you only have 2 partitions) Procedure: 1. Boot off partition 1, using Disk Utility, restore the Snow Leopard DVD Disk Image onto partition 2 2. Boot off partition 2 and install Snow Leopard onto partition 3 OR if you only have 2 partitions: 2. Boot off partition 2 and install Snow Leopard onto partition 1 Note: Use System Preferences: Startup Disk to pick startup volume.
I just installed, and I am running 10A432 RIGHT NOW! I have a 3-partition set up, and installed via partitions, just like the last builds. No DVD was burned. I didn't even boot from a partition.
Mounted the.dmg ('userdvd', the big one), meaning 'restore'd it to a small partition using Disk Utility 2. Opened the 'Mac OS X Install DVD' which the small partition became 3. Ran the installer (white snow leopard CD icon!!), selected my Snow Leopard partition 4. Let it do its thang 5. Played the guitar for a while, tuned my sitar, etc. I'll leave this version on here even after I buy the retail version. It'll be interesting to see if they really are identical and if software update works in both.
@lappe You could update, but you'd still need 2 partitions. Your main one (currently Leopard) and a small one to mount the.dmg to. Then install to your main one. Partitioning is be easy with no risk to your data. Disk Utility has a great non-destructive partitioner built in.
Just click the + button under the drive map for your drive, and resize the new partition to anywhere over 7 gig (as long as you do have enough free space to create a new partition with it). Make sure it'll be formatted for Mac OS Extended. It only takes a few minutes to do and requires no restart. The only problem I had was that some of my 1+ gig files couldn't be moved efficiently by the partitioning program and caused it to think there wasn't enough free space to partition. Before you do it, move your large files onto an external or a flash drive or something, temporarily.
@lappe Sounds to me like you're trying to install onto the same drive you restored the.dmg to. That's the only reason I can think that it would tell you you can't install to that drive.
You'd have to install onto a partition on your internal. When you run the installer and choose a drive with an existing OS X on it, it'll automatically 'update' it, basically installing over it.
No need to choose one or the other. And yeah your Leopard stuff will be fine. I've had zero issues so far and I've been through like 6 installs of various versions of SL. @everyone talking about this being GM It's probably not. These rumors start from like one guy on one Mac site speculating about something, and then within minutes, hundreds of other articles spring up stating 'A source points to this being the Golden Master' and then 'Several sources.' But it's all speculation.
Don't believe any of it. Unless the source it points to is Apple. According to that article, in the past the GM was released to only a select few Apple employees, a few developers, etc. 10A432 was released to the entire community of developers. I believe Apple wouldn't be so naive as to let their actual done-deal GM (with, reportedly, a few noticeable bugs) get loose and leak so easily. They're a smarter company than that.
We've been duped by rumorists! (Even now, many articles are backpedalling, saying that 'one source indicates' that this may not be the GM after all. This just proves, no one knows for sure except for AAPL.) Expect the $29 disk to be a different build, even if by one number. @kj.web I for one am seeding again at 600kb/s.
I had to stop for a while, sorry. But here I come to save the day.
Maybe it will help 0.01%. @L3ntil OMG stop the presses!! Better contact every Apple news blog in the internets so they can spread your unsubstantiated rumor!!
I'm so pissed that they still haven't written much better drivers, let alone 64-bit drivers, for the GMA X3100 gpu that should be screaming in Snow Leopard for the GUI animations. Which, to my effing chagrin, is still choppy in expose, spaces, etc. And stuck with a 32-bit kernel. Anyone else notice this? L3ntil: Nice copy&paste, there's no press release from Apple, didn't you notice that this fake info is dated 'September 9'? This was intended as joke.
Apokarteron: People say that there's no need for preferences, this is intended to keep QTX as simple as possible, and thats why you are able to install QT7 Pro optional. Odds are very high that this is indeed the GM build which will be shipped on the retail DVDs.
A 10.6.1 version could be ready when 10.6. Launches officially. I'm running this build for a couple of days now and haven't had a single problem.
