I have the same question about the iMac 7,1, which is Core 2 Duo as well (which I have, 2.8 Core 2 Extreme).

Someone got a Snow Leopard Disc in the Mac Mini:

I love that translation:

"What a Gigazine do not we use a little attention to sources of information about the business we're in of others for that matter?"

"I wonder why you bad comments like this head. Elementary school and you?"
 
hey guys
a quick question here. I clicked on the Up-to-date program(US Online Store link) and i was sent to a page with a button saying "Continue Shopping".
i'm wondering, if that means that I've participated or not.
P.S. i think i've clicked the Up-to-date program link more than once since i've heard about this. I was just not sure about it.
thanks in advance
 
has anyone with an original ship date of september had their SL up-to-date prepared for shipment?

wrong. its similar to the fact that you can install os x on as many machines as you want with one disc. Apple just trusts the user to use it once (or at most 5 with a family pack). In this case, theyre trusting users to get the box set if they have tiger.

apple never makes more than one version of an install disc

this is the problem that windows has. it has 5 different versions (starter, home, home premium, business, and ultimate) and a 64 bit version for each of those, and an upgrade version (for each 64 bit and 32 bit), making that 20 versions total.

mac os x has always and probably will always ship with just one version, that provides a full install or upgrade that includes all the improvements.

WRONG. I've seen Tiger drop-in DVDs that required either an existing copy of 10.4 or a previously installed copy of 10.3. It will check before allowing you to install and tell you that you can't do it if the hard drive is blank. Apple has done this in the past and they're likely do it for the upgrade discs.
 
Do you have to have purchased it from apple? I got my MBP 13" from dabs.com at the end of June, do i still qualify?

Edit: nvm i just went through and ordered it.
 
64 bit

what the hell is 64 bit? will sl run it? i bought my mbp june 10, 2009. is mine compatible? and what is this about hitting 6 and 4 during startup? thx just really confused

why arent there any macbooks on this list if it has a core 2 duo it can do it 64bit?

You can 'do 64bit', you can run 64bit applications on the computer and get most of the benefits of it - do some reading; finding articles on the internet about the issue isn't hard to come by.

There has been numerous articles written on that - look them up.

Why don't you ring up Apple if it doesn't work? how is whining on this forum going to fix the problem?

IIRC it is a matter of creating an image, mount it, delete a script from within a directory (I can't remember which which directory) - reburn it and then boot off the cd.

Most likely. Here's hoping that SL will be on a single-layer disc so you can actually burn reliable copies. Screw dual layer.

Nope, won't be on single layer. Dual layer is annoying because it costs in NZ around NZ$16 for a 3 pack of dual layer; I haven't had any problems burning dual layer, then again, I tend to use DL +R from verbatim.
 
Up To Date?

My Up-To-Date still says september, not August 28th. I ordered mine on the 16th of June and my order says "MAC OS X 10.6 SNOW LEOPARD FULLFIL-INT" not the "-ZDD" like some other August 28th-ers have. Does this mean mine won't ship until September?
 
Mine just switched from September to "By August 28th", still not yet shipped.

Order Date: Aug 20, 2009 at 01:42 PM PDT via up-to-date
