Dannydeman Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Won't work at all, you need to do a fesh install. You can backup applications though. I don't know exactly how though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeliman Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 just applications or apps AND data? i dont wan tto lose all my pics and itunes and everything. Ideal way to do it, is to have a second drive to wich you install snow leopard. Then, after fresh install you can transfer your old account throught the migration assistant. Works like charm, i've done this several times with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joamateo Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I have backup and restore from time machine many times. Once you have Snow leopard just use the migration assistant. It´s that simple. No problems at all. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildebeast Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 So, did anyone tried updating iAtkos v7 (10.5.7) to Mac OS X Snow Leopard? I'd rather have Snow Leopard than Leopard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
