I recently reinstalled Mac OS X on my iMac to Mac OS X 10.6.3 then updated to Mac OS X 10.6.8 and now I am trying to update to OS X El Capitan but when I go to the App Store to download, I click the "GET" button and nothing happens. Nothing also happens when I try to do this with any other apps.

Adobe has performed limited testing on some Creative Cloud desktop apps on macOS X 10.6.8. The following apps could be compatible with macOS X 10.6.8, but are expected to have issues with features and functionality:
The Dynamic Link feature does not work on 10.6.8. If the Enable DLMS preference is enabled, Audition tries to start DLMS on launch, or when attempting to open a file that requires DLMS. A timeout occurs and a notification displays indicating that the DLMS process cannot be used.
The latest release of Snow Leopard, which brought the version number up to Mac OS X 10.6.8, has been out for a few weeks now and those not upgraded to Lion have been using it with relatively little issues.
It does seem though that Apple has indeed found some problems with the release, and have today made available a supplemental update to the aforementioned 10.6.8, offering bug fixes as well as bundling in the previously separate Migration Assistant update.
Developer notes accompanying the third developer build of Mac OS X 10.6.8 note that the beta includes fixes that "enhance the Mac App Store to get your Mac ready to upgrade to Mac OS X Lion," fscklog (via Google Translate) reported over the weekend. Apple seeded the latest build of OS X 10.6.8 on Friday with no known issues.
Mac OS X 10.6.8 will also contain fixes for the MAC Defender malware scam, according to people familiar with the matter. The malicious software was first discovered by a security researcher in early May. Last week, Apple posted a support document with instructions on how to remove the malware, promising that an upcoming update to Mac OS X would find and remove the offending software.
On June 6, 2005, Steve Jobs announced in his keynote address at WWDC that Apple would be making the transition from PowerPC to Intel processors over the following two years, and that Mac OS X would support both platforms during the transition. Jobs also confirmed rumors that Apple had versions of Mac OS X running on Intel processors for most of its developmental life. Intel-based Macs would run a new recompiled version of OS X along with Rosetta, a binary translation layer which enables software compiled for PowerPC Mac OS X to run on Intel Mac OS X machines.[111] The system was included with Mac OS X versions up to version 10.6.8.[112] Apple dropped support for Classic mode on the new Intel Macs. Third party emulation software such as Mini vMac, Basilisk II and SheepShaver provided support for some early versions of Mac OS. A new version of Xcode and the underlying command-line compilers supported building universal binaries that would run on either architecture.[113]
UPDATE 20/03/13: Scrivener is now back up for sale on the Mac App Store, and is once more running fine on 10.6.8. Thanks to all our Mac App Store users who have been very understanding about the issues we faced.
I was one of those who had problems with printing after the 10.6.8 update (and pdf's with the 10.6.7 update) but was able to restore functionality by replacing the four unix apps as mentioned in the article and had everything running properly again within a couple of hours.
I do think that Apple's QA on the last two releases has been below par - hopefully it's because they're putting so much effort into Lion instead, and Lion will work better because of it. (And I hope too, that they'll circle back to 10.6.8 to fix these nagging issues.)
On my three-day-old MBP 13.3, updating to 10.6.8 knocked my Zumodrive icon off my desktop, and the "Open Zumodrive" command on the menubar opens a folder (Zumodrive_501) in a greyed-out Volumes dir/folder ... strange ... anybody? Will post updates if anything changes ...
Replacing the AppleHDA.kext file actually made my audio problems worse. I had to revert the entire system to 10.6.7. While some OS X updates have had a problem or two, I can't remember any that compare to 10.6.8. It is absolutely the worst ever, bar none. Rather than encourage me that Apple is working hard on Lion, I get the message that Apple has lost touch with quality control altogether. I will definitely be waiting to upgrade to Lion till I see that all the bugs have been squashed, say by 10.7.2 or 3. Thank you ahead of time to the brave souls who will be troubleshooting the Lion for rest of us.
I'm a Mac consultant with a bit over 1400 clients. I've updated about 20 of them to 10.6.8 with no problems to report to date. Most of the problems reported seem to be with programs which change or modify kernel extensions or startup files - PGP or printer and scanner drivers, for instance. With thousands of these third party programs out there, you can't realistically test all of them, especially in various combinations like PGP Desktop and a HP scanner driver, for instance. So the fixes have to be after the problems manifest themselves in real live use.
What would I do without TidBITS! I recently ordered a Mac Mini because it will come with Snow Leopard installed instead of Lion. In doing so I will also be making the leap from Tiger. As a chronic late adopter I wanted to avoid Lion because it doesn't support Rosetta, something I learned from TidBITS. I'm not a power user and my PPC software serves me well. Now I know enough to watch for problems on 10.6.8 and have downloaded the combo updater as a precaution. Thanks TidBITS.
Glad to help. We heard from someone else who had just upgraded to 10.6.8 and was suffering badly from the Dock incompatibility with Parallels Desktop when the issue arrived - stories like this keep us going!
Altogether, the contents of these security updates include bug fixes for Mac OS X 10.6.8, Mac OS X Server 10.6.8, OS X Lion v10.7 to v10.7.5, and OS X Lion Server v10.7 to v10.7.5, in addition to OS X Mountain Lion v10.8 to v10.8.2. Overall, a total of 21 security issues are fixed, covering 17 separate CVEs, 9 of which are related to arbitrary code execution (CVE-2013-0156 and CVE-2013-0333 include flaws impacting multiple components of Apple software).
A few months back, I saw that I was running out of space on my home theater Mac Mini. This was a 2007 Mac Mini with 2 GBs of RAM running 10.6.8, with a 1 TB drive that held media content and 2 TB backup drive connected via FireWire 400. I also noticed that it was struggling to play the latest HD movies from the iTunes Store.
When I researched the subject, I found a lot of people online trying to run 10.6.8 on 2011 Mac Minis with varying degrees of success. The most common issues were lower performance, video that displayed a very pinkish hue on the screen and Thunderbolt not working. However, I hit pay dirt when I came across this Apple discussion forum thread because someone in the thread named newfoundglory had not only figured out the necessary driver support; they had also been nice enough to package up the drivers into one installer package: the NFG Mac Mini 2011 installer
Why was this? After all, the 2011 Mini never came with an internal DVD player. This should have worked; except for the fact that the 2011 Mini was never supposed to run 10.6.8 either. All of the 2011 Macs that ran 10.6.8 were laptops that came with internal optical drives.
Problem is that when I open a few websites, particularly facebook and google associated sites like gmail and documents, they don't load properly. With facebook it looks like if no CSS has been downloaded. Gmail dont show any icons and when I open a google doc like excel sheet and as soon as it tries to autosave, I can't make any further changes. Almost all other websites open properly. Moreover, I get a lot of security warnings by all browsers and I have to add almost all the sites to the exception list.
If you own a MacBook laptop or a Mac desktop computer, then Apple's decision to make OS X Mavericks available as a free download may have you itching to upgrade. googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1449240174198-2'); ); What's not to like about free, right? And there are certainly some nice goodies that would make this a worthwhile update. There's a fresh, new look along with potentially longer battery life. And along with new features such as iBooks, some stalwarts like Safari, Maps and Calendar all get some snazzy improvements. But before you hit the download button, there are a few things you might want to know about Mavericks and your own machine. First, you'll want to check that your Mac or MacBook is actually compatible. Chances are that it is, since Apple seems to be trying to make it as widely available as possible. 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. 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. In my house, we installed iOS 7 right away on our iPhone 4, causing it to seriously slow down. And once you update, it's hard to unwind it. Now one family member quietly resents me and seethes every time she uses her iPhone. So a little patience might save some anxiety later. Once you've checked your hardware, it's time to check your software. Apple 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). 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. If you're still running Leopard (10.5) - meaning you haven't updated in six years and probably aren't even reading this from your cave in the Himalayas where there's no Wi-Fi - then you have to buy Snow Leopard first, which will cost $19.99. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle []).push(); Almost ready to go. Next, you'll want to back up all of your data, which you should be doing on a regular basis anyway. If you're not, take five minutes to feel a deep sense of shame. Now pick your head up and get started with the backup. You can do this using an external hard drive. Or you can use an Apple feature called "Time Capsule." To find it, go to "System Preferences" and then click on "Time Machine." From there, choose "Select Disk" and then pick your Time Capsule from the list. Now you can go to the App Store to download and then install Mavericks. This next part can take an hour or more, depending on your Internet connection speed and the speed of your machine. So certainly don't try to do this when you're in a rush, or you'll get frustrated. Once Mavericks is up and running, it's time to check all the new goodies. The first thing to notice is that, like iOS 7 on Apple's mobile devices, Mavericks discards a lot of the old design elements that were used to mimic real-world items, such as the fake leather texture on applications such as the calendar and address book. Perhaps one of the most important changes, according to Apple, is one that may not be immediately obvious. The company says that for many MacBooks, Mavericks offers so many new energy-efficient features that it could add up to an extra hour of battery life. Next is iBooks, which was created three years ago for the first iPad. But it's taken until now for Apple to allow you to read the e-books you buy through the Apple store on your Mac. The Apple Maps app has also been updated to make it easier to search for directions on your Mac and then send them to your iPhone. In the upper left-hand corner there's a new share button to let you do this. The Safari Web browser also gets an interesting update with a new sidebar that lets see your list of bookmarks and reading list. But it also allows you to add your social media accounts from Twitter and LinkedIn and will generate a list of links that your friends have posted on those services. There's more to discover, of course. But it's time to get out and explore on your own. 2013 Los Angeles Times Distributed by MCT Information Services
