Why do we need this? Because Apple quit releasing full retail versions of Snow Leopard with 10. Poirot S12e02 Rapidshare Library. 6.3. If you have an Apple computer made after the Core 2 Duos, the 10.6.3 retail disk may not boot, and the 10.6.0 version won't boot at all. Early 2011 MacBook Pros fall in this category. Version 10.6.7 was the last version released on DVD, but the DVDs were locked to specific machines. We are are going to unlock a 10.6.7 DVD and make it a universal Installer.

How to do it: • Use Disk Utility to make a read/write DMG of a 10.6.7 install disk for a MacBook Pro or iMac. Version 10.6.6 might work, but I haven't tried it. • Set the Finder to reveal hidden files: • open Terminal and type or copy and paste the following line: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE • Press the Enter key. • Then type: killall Finder • Press the Enter key again.

• To reverse this, rerun with FALSE instead of TRUE and killall Finder again • Insert a 10.6.0 or 10.6.3 OSX retail installation disk in your DVD drive and use the Finder to open the disk to system/Installation/Packages/ • One of these package files is OSInstall.mpkg which is the set of instructions for the Installer. This file in the 10.6.7 Installer is where the checking is done to see if it's installing to the 'correct' computer. • Open another Finder window, and navigate to the same place in the 10.6.7 Installer. Replace the existing OSInstall.mpkg file with the one from the retail disk plus copy over all the printer related Installer packages. We do this because the retail installation script won't install the 10.6.7 printer packages. Check the 'copy all' box when the Finder warns you that the files already exist.

• Open Disk Utility and plug in an 8 gig thumb drive. Find the drive on the left side of the Disk Utility window and click on it. Windows 8 Trial Activator Chiropractic Technique.

Now click Partition, chose 1 Partition, give it a name and click the Options button. Choose the GUID partition choice and close the window. Click the Partition button. When the Disk Utility is done, use SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the modified 10.6.7 Installer to the 8 gig keychain drive. I had problems getting the Backup utility in Disk Utility to do this. You can boot any ready for Snow Leopard Mac with this Installer. [ crarko adds: I know we've published hints like this in the past, but I just want to point out that the intent here is not to rip off Apple, but to handle what can be a very messy systems management issue in environments with many different models of Macs, using the tools that are available.].

Office 2010 Download Serial Pt-br on this page. Like the original poster, I've found a number of machines that require a Snow Leopard installer higher than what may be available (since the owners of those machines have invariably lost their discs and/or have bricked their optical drives). My method (and I will freely admit this was not my original idea) is to use a disk image of a 10.6.8 working HD that has not yet been through the personalization. I 'restored' this image to a few destinations—a toolkit, of sorts—a USB hard drive, FireWire HD, USB flash drive, and even a SDHC card. Then I went through the personalization with each one. Finally, I copied the original disk image (as a.dmg) to these destinations. Obviously, you need something like a 16GB flash drive or SDHC card.

I can then boot the intended 'target' machine using one of these devices and use Disk Utility to restore the 'virgin' 10.6.8 disk image to the machine's hard drive. With a FireWire machine, however, it's often easier to boot the target machine in target disk mode, plug it into my iMac, and do the restore from there. As a side benefit, there are very few software updates then required. Like all good hints, with a lot of eyeballs they just get better. Thanks for figuring out the logic was in OSInstall.mpkg, I had wondered that for a while but put it on the back burner. But this spurred me on to get to the core logic of it.

So now, it's an automated affair, and it retains the original OSInstall.mpkg and print drivers. Paste the code into TextWrangler name it 'makeUniversalDisc.command' or whatever name with.command and Textwrangler will automagically add the execute bit too. (App store version may not do this?) Then simply double click and follow the prompts.

All was going good and i thought i cracked it, until i tried to restore the modified image with SuperDuper. I also tried with disk utility and that didnt work neither. It return an error 'Retore Failed' Could not find any scan information. The source image needs to be imagescanned before it can be restored. So i tried to scan the image for restore and that failed also.
