I have a macBook running 10.4.11, I want to do some IPhone development so I think that I need to upgrade to 10.6. On the apple store there are two products that claim to upgrade you to snow lepard (10.6). $35. $199 1) The site says that it is recommended that I should use the box set. Will Snow Leopard work on my machine? Do I need to buy the box set?
2) I have IWork 08 installed right now. Will that continue to work on 10.6? Will ILife continue to work? 3) I have heard that 10.6 is actually faster than 10.4.
Is this true? This seems unlikely to me. 4) Is time machine included with 10.6 or is that bundled with ILife or something like that? Similar questions:.
This binary was tested on both Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). Universal binary of R 2.7.0 for Mac OS X, upgrade package without supplemental tools. This is a subset of the above image. Unless a full R 2.6.x installer was used before (and they contain a slightly older GNU. Running WinBUGS on Mac OS X using Wine Tom Palmer1 [email protected] October 9, 2007 Summary These instructions are for installing WinBUGS on Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) using a compatibility program for running Windows programs on Unix called Wine. They have been tested on a Mac with an Intel processor. As an overview: install the X11.

Apple wants to reconcile the loss of potential sales from you not buying Leopard by making you buy the box set (an extra CD/DVD in the box isn't even $1 to them). The bare Snow Leopard will work fine, according to no matter what you had installed previously. It may not be strictly speaking legal (to quote Inception), but Apple losing a mere $140 is not enough grounds to get charged over generally. I have IWork 08 installed right now. Will that continue to work on 10.6?
Will ILife continue to work? In short, yes. Run Software Update and everything should be fine.
I have heard that 10.6 is actually faster than 10.4. Is this true? This seems unlikely to me. Is time machine included with 10.6 or is that bundled with ILife or something like that? It is an OS feature. It is included, yes.
Note: Snow Leopard doesn't run on PowerPC Macs if you were thinking about doing that. The interesting thing about OS X is that it's 'upgrades' are technically full versions, but with discounted upgrade pricing.
Assuming you meet the rest of the requirements for Snow Leopard, I think you can use the $29 Snow Leopard upgrade on Tiger seems to confirm that notion. I would backup your hard drive and do a clean install (erase the drive, install a fresh version of Snow Leopard, etc.). Also, you may encounter some errors with some apps not working (Snow Leopard checks for these sorts of errors when upgrading from Leopard). It might not be completely smooth sailing, but it should work for the most part. I have IWork 08 installed right now.

Might as well try; if it doesn't, you can always spring for an upgrade. I have heard that 10.6 is actually faster than 10.4. Is this true?
This seems unlikely to me. OS X releases generally get faster with each version. That said, I was using 10.4 on an old iBook G4 with 1GB of RAM, and now use 10.6 on a MacBook Pro with 8GB RAM, so it's hard to directly compare which is faster. Is time machine included with 10.6 or is that bundled with ILife or something like that? Time Machine comes with the OS. First, beware that that 'Education' view you linked to of the online Apple Store has the wrong prices for both of those items you linked to, unless you're in Canada or something and those are non-US dollars (I checked Canadian and Australian exchange rates and it still seems too high, although Apple has been known to vary pricing between countries by more than just the exchange rate). If you're in the US and that was your school's custom store view, then your school is putting a nice premium markup on top of the MSRP.
The Leopard - Snow Leopard upgrade is usually $29 US, and the Mac Box Set usually costs $169 US. The Mac Box Set is the right answer for you. It's the only way for someone with only a Tiger license for a given machine to get a license for Snow Leopard. It also comes with the latest iLife and iWork so you don't have to worry whether the obsolete versions will still work. 10.6 is in many ways faster and more efficient than 10.5, but I'm not sure how it compares to 10.4.

I would say, however, that 2GB of RAM is a bit on the light side for running Snow Leopard. It works, but it ends up trashing VM to disk a bit too much. So if you don't have more than 2GB of RAM in that machine, consider upgrading that as well. Time Machine is included.
