[QUOTE="Windy., post: 1266542, member: 207928"] I upgraded from 10.4 direct to Snow Leopard using the $29 program. Over 90% of my programs, documents, photos plus Firefox, Safari and Camino bookmarks carried over the same as before. Only a few minor glitches. The program includes a Rosetta Stone option for some things that may not work. I needed the Rosetta deal to open a free AOL browser and a dictionary. Time Machine is included in the Snow Leopard upgrade. My only real problem so far is that my old Samsung printer does not work. Works okay with my PC and worked with the Mac previously. Downloaded new drivers and some other recommended fixes. Also ran the Mac Upgrade from another post but no good so far. [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399]Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo[/url] You should back up your hard drive on an external HD and any other things you want to save. Everything I moved to my external HD is still there unused! Good luck. Later: After upgrading Tiger with Snow Leopard Apple came through with further updates to bring me current. Also I was able to bring Firefox and Safari up to 5 point something making me current with their updates too. During the Snow Leopard installation there is a point where I updated my name and other data with Apple. As far as I know Apple is recognizing this upgrade since I am now running 10.6.8. I don't think Apple will lose any money on this deal especially with their App Store inclusion and so many more computers available for Lion. [/QUOTE]
