- Mac FAQ’s, Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard If you wish to upgrade TO Snow Leopard (OS 10.6), make sure you have an Intel-based Mac (Snow Leopard will not run on a PowerPC processor) with at least 1GB of memory and has Mac OS 10.5 or earlier.
- This is the final version of Mac OS X which can support the PowerPC structure as snow leopard function only on Intel-based Macs. The latest released is 10.5.8 (Build 9L31a) on August 13, 2009. Its kernel type is hybrid (XNU). This version is preceded by Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and succeeded by Mac OS X snow leopard. It is the first operating system.
- About Snow Leopard Recovery Mode. Pre-installed into Mac, OS X Recovery is a facility provided by Apple computers that enables you to restore or reinstall Mac OS X without using a physical recovery disk. For Mac Snow Leopard, there is also the Snow Leopard recovery that helps you. Restore Mac from a Time Machine backup; Install or reinstall Mac.
- If you want to upgrade free, there are always ways, none of which are legal. But my point wasn't about cost, it was that Snow Leopard is a new OS, in just the way that Windows 7 is, and it is as reasonable for apple to charge for Snow Leopard as it is for Microsoft to charge for windows 7.
Apple didn’t introduce the App Store into Mac OS X until Snow Leopard 10.6.6. Here’s what you need to do to get the App Store. You can find out what OS X version you are on by clicking on the Apple icon, then select “About This Mac”. The number under the Apple logo is the version you are on. 10.5.x is Leopard and 10.6.x is Snow Leopard.
If you are on Leopard:
You first need to upgrade to Snow Leopard. You can find out how to do that at my “How to upgrade from Leopard (10.5) to Snow Leopard (10.6)” post. Once you do that, come back to this post and follow the instructions below.
If you are on Snow Leopard:
How To Get Snow Leopard For Free On Mac Desktop
1. First click on the Apple icon in the top left corner of your screen. If you see the “App Store…” menu item then you can stop here, you already have the App Store.
2. If you don’t have the “App Store…” menu item then click on the “Software Update…” menu item.
3. This will launch the Software Update dialog. Once the dialog completely loads, look for an item called “Mac OS X Update Combined”. That is the OS X update that includes the App Store, so go ahead and install that. It took about 30 minutes for me.

4. After the install is complete click on the Apple icon in the top left corner of your screen. You should now see the “App Store…” menu item. If you don’t then repeat steps 2 and 3 above until you do. If you still don’t see it then just give Apple a call at 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or stop by your nearest Apple store.
If you want to see what version you currently have installed then click the Apple icon then click the “About This Mac” menu item. That will pop up a dialog like the one below. The number below the Apple icon is the version number of the Mac OS X you have installed. Like I mentioned above, it must be 10.6.6 in order to get the App Store.
