free alternative to itunes on ios mac 10.6.8

Once Snow Leopard Server installs and launches, you can reinstall all of your OS X Snow Leopard versions of all your third party software. Then you insert the Snow Leopard Server disc into your optical drive and install Snow Leopard Server into the virtual enviroment. You install one of these virtual environments on to your Mac, launch it. You need to call Apple at 1-800- MYAPPLE to get this version.

Plus you need to use Snow Leopard Server that is still available on disc from Apple for $20. If you want to run Snow Leopard on your new Mac, there is a workaround that involves using virtual environment software, like either purchasing Parallels Desktop, VMWare Fusion or the free, open source Virtualbox.

WIth any new Mac, you cannot run an older OS X version that has not been originally installed. There are NO 'special' drives that are bootable. It is a function of the disk setup process and the boot code that is in the OS software installation process. Same goes for SSDs and high speed read/write USB flash drives. Thank you again for your post! Kind regards, A. In the past I would always backup my Macbook (with 10.6.8) on a partition of my old iMac, where I always had the latest OS on one partition (and a CCC clone of my Macbook as backup on a second partition, preserving 10.6.8).

Can you be so kind though to advise, which external hard drives you are using for that purpose, respectively which ones you recommend/worked best for you? Apparently there are a lot of hard drives out there from which you cannot start-up/boot.Īnd unfortunately there seems to be no way to run 10.6.8 on a partition of a brand new 3TB fusion drive iMac with El Capitan, which I also have.

Thank you so much for pointing out this alternative solution, which I plan to try out.
