Unsupported equally of February 25, 2014, iTunes ended in September 2014 and Safari support terminated as well, [5] though the last security update happened in September 2013. [half dozen] [7] An update for the Mac App Store on Mac OS 10 Snow Leopard was released on January 27, 2016. [8] [9]

Mac Bone X Snowfall Leopard (version 10.six) is the seventh major release of macOS, Apple's desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers.

Snow Leopard was publicly unveiled on June viii, 2009 at Apple'due south Worldwide Developers Briefing. On August 28, 2009, it was released worldwide, [2] and was made available for purchase from Apple tree'due south website and retail stores at the price of U.s.$29 for a single-user license. As a result of the depression toll, initial sales of Snow Leopard were significantly higher than that of its predecessors whose price started at Usa$129. [x] The release of Snow Leopard came nearly two years later on the launch of Mac OS Ten Leopard, the second longest fourth dimension bridge betwixt successive Mac OS X releases (the time bridge between Tiger and Leopard was the longest).

Unlike previous versions of Mac OS X, the goals of Snow Leopard were improved performance, greater efficiency and the reduction of its overall memory footprint. Apple famously marketed Snow Leopard as having "zero new features". [11] Its proper noun signified its goal to exist a refinement of the previous Bone X version, Leopard. [12] Much of the software in Mac OS X was extensively rewritten for this release in order to have total reward of modern Macintosh hardware and software technologies (64-bit, Cocoa, etc.). New programming frameworks, such as OpenCL, were created, allowing software developers to apply graphics cards in their applications. Information technology was as well the first Mac OS release since Organisation 7.1.1 to non support Macs using PowerPC processors, as Apple tree dropped support for them and focused on Intel-based products. [two] Every bit support for Rosetta was dropped in Mac OS X King of beasts, Snowfall Leopard is the final version of Mac Bone 10 that is able to run PowerPC-only applications.

Though the final release only supports Intel processors, ii development builds that supported PowerPC processors are known to exist, builds 10A96 and 10A190. [xiii] [14] [15]

Snow Leopard was succeeded past Bone X King of beasts (version 10.seven) on July twenty, 2011. [16] For several years, Apple continued to sell Snow Leopard at its online store for the benefit of users that required Snow Leopard in club to upgrade to later versions of Bone X. Snowfall Leopard was the last version of Mac OS Ten to exist distributed primarily through optical disc, every bit all further releases were mainly distributed through the Mac App Store introduced in the Snow Leopard 10.6.6 update. [17]

Snowfall Leopard was the final release of Mac OS X to support the 32-bit Intel Cadre Solo and Intel Core Duo CPUs. Because of this, Snow Leopard nonetheless remained somewhat pop aslope OS X Panthera leo, despite its lack of continued support, [eighteen] mostly because of its ability to run PowerPC-based applications.[ commendation needed ]

Snow Leopard was too the last release of Mac OS X to ship with a welcome video at first kicking after installation. [xix] Reception of Snow Leopard was positive.

Organisation requirements [ edit ]

Apple states the following basic Snowfall Leopard organization requirements are:

  • Mac calculator with an Intel processor (IA-32). "Yonah" processors such every bit Core Solo and Cadre Duo tin run only 32-chip applications; later x86-64 architecture processors such every bit Core two Duo, Core i5 and i7 are likewise able to run 64-bit applications.
  • 1 GB of RAM
  • 5 GB of free disk space
  • DVD drive (too attainable via Remote Disc) or external USB or FireWire DVD bulldoze for installation

Boosted requirements to utilise certain features: [20]

Snow Leopard releases do not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.one thousand., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), all eMacs, plus pre-February 2006 Mac minis and the Power Mac G4 Cube), although PowerPC applications are supported via Rosetta, which is now an optional install. In 2020, two developer previews of Snow Leopard that are universal appeared on the Cyberspace that can be booted on select G4 and G5 Power Macs with modification and patching. [21]

License [ edit ]

Snow Leopard is available as an upgrade for Intel-based Macintosh computers. Single-user licenses and "family unit pack" licenses for up to five computers are available. For qualifying Mac computers bought later June viii, 2009, Apple offered a discounted price through its "upwardly-to-date" program, provided that customers' orders were faxed or postmarked by Dec 26, 2009. The standalone retail version of Snow Leopard is marketed as being restricted to users of Mac Bone X Leopard, while the recommended upgrade path from Apple for Mac OS 10 Tiger is through the "Mac Box Set up", which includes Mac Bone X Snow Leopard and the electric current versions of iLife and iWork.

At that place are three licenses available. [22] These licenses differ in their requirements for pre-installed versions of Mac OS X:

  • Leopard Upgrade: requires that Mac OS X Leopard already be installed.

If you accept purchased an Upgrade for Mac OS X Leopard license, and so field of study to the terms and conditions of this License, you lot are granted a limited not-sectional license to install, employ and run one (1) copy of the Apple tree Software on a single Apple-branded computer every bit long as that computer has a properly licensed copy of Mac OS Ten Leopard already installed on it. [23]

A "Family unit Pack Upgrade for Mac OS X Leopard" license is also mentioned as a subset of the Leopard Upgrade.
  • Unmarried Apply: places no restriction on which (if whatever) version of Mac Os Ten should already exist installed. Used for the not-upgrade and Mac Box Prepare versions of Snow Leopard.

Bailiwick to the terms and conditions of this License ... yous are granted a limited non-exclusive license to install, utilize and run one (i) copy of the Apple Software on a unmarried Apple-branded computer at a time. [23]

  • Family Pack: identical to the Unmarried Use license in this respect.

It is not entirely clear which license is offered with the retail version of Snow Leopard. As noted above, Apple's website advertised this version as an "upgrade from Mac OS X Leopard for $29" and suggest that others upgrade using the Mac Box Prepare, implying the stand-lone retail version to be a "Leopard Upgrade" license. On the other hand, some Apple press materials appear to betoken that this version is, in fact, the "Single Use" license:

The Snow Leopard single user license will be bachelor for a suggested retail cost of $29 (US) [24] (emphasis added)

However, even if the retail edition of Snow Leopard is in fact a "Leopard Upgrade", the company has acknowledged that there is no technical barrier in that edition preventing a direct upgrade from Mac Os X "Tiger". [25]

The Leopard Upgrade license explicitly applies to the Up-To-Date Program [26] (US$nine.95) for Macs bought betwixt June 8 and December 26, 2009 [27] and the installation discs provided through this program are clearly marked equally upgrades unlike either of the retail editions.

New or inverse features [ edit ]

Mac Os 10 Snowfall Leopard is intended to exist a release aimed to refine the existing characteristic ready, expand the technological capabilities of the operating arrangement, and improve application efficiency. Many of the changes involve how the system works in the groundwork and are not intended to be seen past the user. For example, the Finder application was completely rewritten in the Cocoa application programming interface. Despite significant changes in the software, users volition experience about no changes in the user interface. Snow Leopard includes the following changes:

  • Mac App Store – An app market built in the image of the iOS App Store. Released in version 10.six.6. [28]
  • Boot Camp at present allows Windows partitions to read and re-create files from HFS+ partitions. The new version too adds support for advanced features on Cinema Displays and a new control-line version of the Startup Disk Command Panel.
  • The Finder has been completely rewritten in Cocoa to take advantage of the new technologies introduced in Snow Leopard.
  • A much smaller Bone footprint, taking upwards about 7 GB less space than Mac Bone Ten Leopard. Some of the recovered disk space (~250 MB) is considering printer drivers are now downloaded or installed only equally needed, rather than being pre-installed. The default install only contains those drivers needed for existing printers and a small subset of popular printers. [29]
  • iChat enhancements include greater resolution video chats in iChat Theater and lowered upload bandwidth requirements.
  • Microsoft Exchange back up is at present integrated into the Mail service, Address Book, and iCal applications. All the same, only Microsoft Exchange 2007 is supported and customers using prior versions of Substitution must either upgrade or use Microsoft Entourage.
  • Full multi-bear on trackpad back up has been added to notebooks prior to those introduced in October 2008. [30] While the original MacBook Air and other early multi-touch trackpad enabled notebooks had support for some gestures, they were unable to use four-finger gestures. This limitation has now been removed in Snow Leopard.
  • Preview tin can infer the construction of a paragraph in a PDF document.
  • QuickTime 10 (version ten), the next release of QuickTime actor and multimedia framework, has been completely rewritten into a full 64-bit Cocoa awarding and builds on the media technologies in Mac Os X, such as Core Audio, Cadre Video, and Cadre Animation, to evangelize playback. Apple has redesigned the QuickTime user interface to resemble the total-screen QuickTime view in prior versions, where the unabridged window displays the video. The titlebar and playback controls fade in and out as needed. QuickTime X too supports HTTP alive streaming and takes advantage of ColorSync to provide loftier-quality color reproduction. [31] If Snow Leopard is installed on a Mac with an nVidia GeForce 9400M, 320M or GT 330M graphics bill of fare, QuickTime Ten will be able to use its video-decoding capabilities to reduce CPU load.
  • Safari four features Top Sites, Embrace Flow, VoiceOver, expanded standards support, and built-in crash resistance, which prevents browser crashes caused past plug-ins by running them in carve up processes. [32] Safari 4 is bundled with Snow Leopard but does non crave information technology, equally it is available for free for Mac OS 10 Tiger and Leopard as well as Windows.
  • Time Car connection establishment and backups are now much faster.
  • VoiceOver has also been profoundly enhanced in Snow Leopard. Reading of spider web pages is improved with Auto Spider web Spots — areas of a page automatically designated for quick access. On newer Apple tree portables, trackpad gestures can exist used to control VoiceOver functions, including the "rotor" gesture outset seen in VoiceOver for the iPhone 3GS, assuasive for the changing of certain VoiceOver navigation options past rotating fingers on the trackpad. Braille Brandish back up is likewise improved, with Bluetooth displays supported for the first time. [33]

Refinements to the user interface [ edit ]

While the Finder was completely rewritten in Cocoa, it did not receive a major user interface overhaul. Instead, the interface has been modified in several areas to promote ease of use. These changes include:

  • The "traffic light" titlebar controls are now slightly lighter in appearance and have less depth than they did in Mac Bone X 10.v.
  • Exposé can now display windows for a single programme by left clicking and holding its icon in the dock. Windows are bundled in a new grid pattern.
  • Contextual menus which come up out of Dock icons now have more options and have a new expect, with a semi-transparent charcoal background and white text.
  • An option has been added to the Finder preferences that allows the user to alter search behavior. The default setting can be selected to (1) search the entire computer, (2) search only the current folder from which the search was initiated, or (three) perform the search based on the previously used telescopic.
  • Dock Stacks, when viewed equally a grid, allow viewing of a subfolder as a new stack, rather than launching a Finder window, in a fashion like to "tunnelling". When viewed as grids or lists, scroll-bars are provided to navigate folders with more items than the electric current screen resolution will arrange, as the program does non scale the icons to show as many as possible the manner it did in OS 10 10.5. [34]
  • The default gamma has been inverse from 1.8 to ii.2 to amend serve the color needs of digital content producers and consumers. [29]
  • Windows can now be minimized directly onto their application's icon in the dock. [35]
  • Faster PDF and JPEG icon refreshes. [36]
  • When searching for a network, the AirPort menu-bar icon animates until it finds a network and shows network forcefulness of bachelor networks in the driblet down carte du jour.
  • Prefixes for bytes are at present used in strictly decimal meaning (as opposed to their binary pregnant) when describing disk space, such that an indicated file size of ane MB corresponds to i million bytes, equally normally used by hard disk manufacturers. [37]
  • Snow Leopard shuts downwardly and goes to sleep faster. [38]

New wallpapers [ edit ]

Equally with most upgrades of Mac Bone 10, new wallpapers are available. There are new wallpapers in the Nature (ii of which are of snow leopards), Plants and Blackness and White sub-folders under the Apple binder. Furthermore, there are new Apple wallpaper sub-folders with multiple wallpapers:

New solid colors can be used as wallpapers equally well. There is a new blue and greyness, too every bit a solid kelp which serves equally the "green wallpaper." The default "space nebula" wallpaper has been updated likewise.

Dropped features [ edit ]

  • AppleTalk is no longer supported. [39]
  • It is no longer possible to change an application'southward language using the Finder'south "Get Info" dialogue. While at that place are workarounds for some applications, others (such as Adobe Afterward Effects CS4) will not be able to be run in a dissimilar language than the one selected in the system [40] without using Terminal commands or 3rd-party software. The option to change linguistic communication for private apps was added dorsum in macOS Catalina in 2019. [41]
  • Creator codes, which are per-file metadata attributes that define, for a file that has a creator code, what application should open that file, regardless of its extension, accept had their priority in the application selection process reduced. [42]
  • Creating or updating Hierarchical File System (HFS Plus predecessor) volumes is no longer supported.

Developer technologies [ edit ]

64-chip architecture [ edit ]

Mac Os 10 Tiger added limited support for 64-flake applications on machines with 64-flake processors; Leopard extended the back up for 64-scrap applications to include applications using virtually of Mac OS 10'south libraries and frameworks.

In Snow Leopard, almost built-in applications take been rebuilt to use the 64-scrap x86-64 architecture (excluding iTunes, Forepart Row, Grapher and DVD Player applications). [43] They will run in 32-bit mode on machines with 32-fleck processors, and in 64-bit mode on machines with 64-bit processors.

In add-on, the Mac Os X kernel has been rebuilt to run in 64-bit fashion on some machines. On those machines, Snow Leopard supports up to 16 terabytes of RAM. Newer Xserve and Mac Pro machines volition run a 64-chip kernel by default; newer iMac and MacBook Pro machines can run a 64-bit kernel, merely volition non do so by default. [44] Users wishing to use the 64-scrap kernel on those machines must hold down the numbers 6 and 4 on the keyboard while booting to get the 64-chip kernel to load. [45] [46] A change to the com.apple tree.Kick.plist will also enable users with uniform computers to permanently kick into 64-chip for those wishing to practise so.

Stuart Harris, software product marketing managing director at Apple Australia, said, "For the most function, everything that they experience on the Mac, from the 64-flake point of view, the applications, the operating system, is all going to be 64-chip, but that at this stage there were very few things, such as device drivers, that required 64-bit manner at the kernel level". [46]

With Mac Bone X Snowfall Leopard but the post-obit Apple tree computers run or are capable of running the 64-bit kernel: [47]

Product Model identifier K64 condition on client version K64 condition on server version
Xserve early on 2008 and afterward Xserve2,1 and higher Capable Default
Mac Pro early 2008 MacPro3,1
Mac Pro early 2009 MacPro4,1
Mac Pro mid-2010 MacPro5,i
MacBook Pro early 2008 MacBookPro4,1 Capable
MacBook Pro belatedly 2008 MacBookPro4,1 and five,1
MacBook Pro early 2009 MacBookPro5,2
MacBook Pro mid-2009 MacBookPro5,3 and 5,four and five,v
MacBook Pro mid-2010 MacBookPro6,1 and half-dozen,2 and 7,1
MacBook Pro early 2011 MacBookPro8,1 and 8,two and 8,iii Default
iMac early 2006 and later[ citation needed ] iMac4,1 and higher Capable Capable
Mac Mini mid-2010 Macmini4,1 Default

^* Amit Singh has reported that the early 2009 Mac Mini and MacBook may be capable of running the 64-bit kernel; however, Apple tree has set these models to boot into the 32-scrap kernel. With some tweaking, the Unibody MacBook can be set up to boot the 64-bit kernel. [48]

Grand Central Dispatch [ edit ]

Grand Central Dispatch (GCD) uses the multiple processor cores now in every new Macintosh for more than efficient functioning. Due to the complication of multithreaded programming and technical difficulties traditionally involved in making applications optimized for multicore CPUs, the majority of reckoner applications do not effectively use multiple processor cores. [49] As a upshot, additional processing power, compared to single-core machines, oftentimes goes unused. Grand Central Dispatch includes APIs to help programmers efficiently apply these cores for parallel programming.

Grand Central Dispatch abstracts the notion of threads abroad, and instead provides developers with the concept of queues—lists of jobs (blocks of code) that need to be executed. GCD takes the responsibility of distributing the jobs among actual threads and cores, and clearing upwards unused retention created by inactive or quondam threads to achieve maximum performance. Apple is as well releasing APIs for Grand Central Dispatch for developers to use in their applications and also to clarify specific blocks of code running on G Central Dispatch. [50]

A new C and Objective-C linguistic communication feature named "Blocks" facilitates cosmos of lawmaking that will hands optimize to take advantage of Grand Primal Dispatch. [51] [52] [53]

OpenCL [ edit ]

OpenCL (Open Computing Linguistic communication) addresses the power of graphics processing units (GPUs) to leverage them in any application, and not just for graphics-intensive applications similar 3D games. OpenCL automatically optimizes for the kind of graphics processor in the Mac, adjusting itself to the available processing power. OpenCL provides consistent numeric precision and accuracy, fixing a trouble that has hampered GPU-based programming in the past. [54]

OpenCL includes a C-based programming language with a structure that is already familiar to Mac OS 10 programmers, who can use Xcode programmer tools to adapt their programs to work with OpenCL. But the near procedure intensive parts of the awarding demand to be written in OpenCL C without affecting the balance of the code. OpenCL is an open up standard that has been supported by AMD, Intel, and Nvidia; it is maintained by Khronos Group. [31]

It serves a like purpose to Nvidia's C for CUDA and Microsoft's Direct3D 11 compute shaders.

It but works with the post-obit Mac GPUs: NVIDIA GeForce 320M, GT 330M, 9400M, 9600M GT, 8600M GT, GT 120, GT 130, GTX 285, 8800 GT, 8800 GS, Quadro FX 4800, FX 5600 and ATI Radeon Hard disk drive 4670, Hard disk drive 4850, Hard disk drive 4870, Hard disk 5670, HD 5750, HD 5770, Hard disk drive 5870, HD 6490M, Hard disk drive 6750M, HD 6770M, HD 6970M. [twenty] If the system does not possess one of these compatible GPUs, OpenCL lawmaking will instead execute on the organisation'south CPU. [55]

CUPS [ edit ]

CUPS (the printing system used in many Unix-like operating systems) has been updated to version 1.4 which provides improved commuter, networking, and Kerberos back up along with operation improvements. CUPS 1.four is besides the first implementation of the Internet Press Protocol version 2.i. [56]

Power management [ edit ]

Power management has been improved, with implementation of a new wake on demand feature supported on more contempo Macintosh hardware. [57] Wake on need takes advantage of the sleep proxy service implemented in AirPort and Time Capsule routers, [58] so that the computer can sleep while the router responds to mDNS queries. Should the request require the host reckoner to wake upwards, the router sends the necessary special wake-upwardly-packet [59] to the sleeping computer.

Security [ edit ]

Apple strengthened Mac OS X by implementing stack protection, and sandboxing more than Mac OS X components such equally the H.264 decoder in QuickTime and browser plug-ins as a dissever procedure in Safari. [60] Secure virtual retention was an option in earlier releases on Snow Leopard, but the checkbox to disable it was removed later. An anti-malware feature was besides added to the system that alerts the user if malware is detected. [61] Mac OS X 10.half dozen.8 added regular malware definition updates. [62]

Computer security researcher Charlie Miller claims that Os X Snow Leopard is more vulnerable to attack than Microsoft Windows for lacking full address infinite layout randomization (ASLR) since Mac Bone X Leopard, [63] a engineering that Microsoft started implementing in Windows Vista. [64]

The Safari web browser has received updates to version 6.0 in Lion and Mountain Lion, simply not in Snowfall Leopard. [65]

Compatibility [ edit ]

Snow Leopard breaks compatibility with several older versions of some applications, such as Parallels Desktop 3.0, versions of Aperture earlier 2.1.1, and versions of Keynote earlier two.0.2, among other software. [66] Apple has also published a list of applications with known compatibility problems with Snow Leopard. [67]

Printer and scanner drivers used by previous versions of Mac Os Ten are not compatible with Snowfall Leopard and will exist replaced during Snow Leopard installation. Since the initial release of Snow Leopard many manufacturers have provided uniform drivers that are available via Software Update. [68] If a native commuter is not available Snow Leopard also includes CUPS and Gutenprint open source drivers that may provide limited functionality.

10.6.0 introduced a bug that oftentimes prevented DNS queries from returning IPv6 addresses. [69] [70] [71] This was resolved in x.6.eight. [72]

Reception [ edit ]

At the WWDC in 2009, Apple stated that Snow Leopard features no new major visual changes. [73] Instead, the release focuses on refining the operating system to enable better performance. [73]

OSNews reported that Mac Os X Snow Leopard was well received by critics. [74] [75]

Engadget reviewed Snow Leopard and pointed out that the cost of Snowfall Leopard dropped from the $129 Apple tree charged for previous versions of Mac Bone X to $29. Engadget'southward opinion was that this could be largely because well-nigh users would not see a noticeable alter in the wait and feel of the system. [76] Even so, nigh reviews commented on the large improvement in speed of the native Mac OS 10 applications Finder, iCal, Mail service, etc. [76]

CNET editors gave it 4 stars out of five, stating "Intel Mac users will like Snow Leopard'due south smartly designed interface enhancements, and its Exchange support is a must-have (peculiarly with Outlook for Mac on the fashion). With a ton of technological improvements, Snowfall Leopard is worth the $29 upgrade fee." [77]

On October 21, 2009, SFGate blogger Yobie Benjamin wrote that the "MacBook Pro that came preloaded with Snow Leopard kicks butt and is a screaming fast car", but "when I tried to upgrade i of my 'older' MacBooks, information technology was a fricking disaster from hell". Autonomously from upgrading, Benjamin also tried a clean install. Simply he complained of slowness even after his make clean install. He wrote, "I ended upwardly downgrading back to OSX x.5.8" then he ended by writing, "I might endeavour to practice it again only it won't be till Apple tree releases at least 2 major fix updates. If yous want to curlicue the die and try, go ahead... your upgrade might piece of work, however, random installs not working is not good for me. Lesson learned --- I'll wait." [78]

The single-user upgrade and Family Pack units of Snow Leopard ranked 1 and 2 respectively on Amazon.com's software bestseller charts when Apple tree appear it would release it within the week. [79]

Testmac.com highlighted other unexpected improvements including the release of a new version of Boot Military camp, version iii.0, a cleaner, popup software update process and screen and video recording in the new QuickTime Player. [80]

The BBC reported that a bug in Mac Os X versions 10.half dozen.0 and 10.6.i which, in rare cases, caused loss of user account data after use of a previously existing guest business relationship by users who had upgraded from a previous version of Mac OS X, received wide publicity. [81] The problems was fixed every bit of version 10.6.2. [82]

Release history [ edit ]

Onetime Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced Snow Leopard at WWDC on June 9, 2008, [83] and it was privately demonstrated to developers by Senior Vice President of Software Applied science Bertrand Serlet. On Monday, May xi, 2009, after build 10A354, Apple tree issued a code freeze on Snow Leopard's APIs. [84] The first public sit-in was given at WWDC 2009 by Serlet and Vice President of Mac OS Engineering science, Craig Federighi. [83] [85]

[87]

On January 27, 2016, Apple released an update for the Mac App Store on Mac Os X 10.6. The update was titled "Mac App Store Update for Bone X Snow Leopard". The download was 3.5 MB. [8] [88]
