![]() * In VMware Fusion, take a snapshot of your Snow Leopard Server. (Virtual Machine menu, Install VMware Tools then run the installer inside your Snow Leopard Server virtual machine, reboot.) * Install VMware Tools on your updated Snow Leopard Server virtual machine. Keep running Software Update until there are no more updates available. * Run Software Update on the Snow Leopard Server virtual machine. Using System Preferences on the Snow Leopard Server virtual machine, create user accounts in your Snow Leopard Server virtual machine in this order: 501 (already done), 502, 503. ![]() ![]() You will see a list of user accounts with numbers (0 for Shared, and also 501, and maybe 502, 503. Hint: the first letter of the above command is a lower case "L". Type the command "ls -n /Volumes//Users" (To fill in the, type the first letter or two, then the press the tab key, then add "/Users" and press return.) Open the Terminal in /Applications/Utilities. To find out the correct order do the following: IMPORTANT: Create the user accounts in the same order as on your external disk. If you have only one user account on the external disk, you can skip this step. * Create user accounts that match the user accounts on your external disk. * Install Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Server in a virtual machine. Hopefully it will be added for you after you complete the updates. (The previous update was 15 October 2013.) The 7 November 2013 Software Update included "Migration Assistant Update for Snow Leopard 1.1." As I wrote the previous post in this thread, I did verify that Migration Assistant was included in my Snow Leopard Server virtual machine. On 7 November 2013, I ran a Software Update. The virtual machine was created on 27 April 2013 and fully updated at the time, including "Mac OS X Server Update Combined 10.6.8 v1.1". I looked at my Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard Server virtual machine and found a log entry. Believe it or not, I keep detailed notes of all software installations and updates in a configuration log file. Try updating to 10.6.8 and running all other software updates. Even then, there is no guarantee that you can install your programme and make it work. In the US, it costs $100 to join for one year. If you have time and money, I would buy a copy of Snow Leopard Server (eBay?) or join Apple's Developer Program (Programme?) which gives you access to freely download it. After that, you still face the problem of how to get the client version to boot as described above. It is complicated and I don't have time to look it up (which is why I did not respond earlier). * It may be possible to copy your external drive to a VMware Fusion virtual disk and trick it into booting from there. * There are ways to trick VMware Fusion into running the Snow Leopard Client version by fooling it, but I can't say much about that. it might be more complex to copy it manually, and it might not work at all. If it requires license codes, application assistant folders, etc. Perhaps you can simply drag and drop the application from the USB drive. I know that Migration Assistant is included on my copy of Snow Leopard Server. I have not tested Migration Assistant from Snow Leopard Server, but that may be a way to migrate your programme and data from your external drive. * If you find and install Snow Leopard Server, it will run your programme if you have a way to install it. VMware Fusion will run Snow Leopard Server, but Apple recently discontinued sales and it may be hard to find. * The main problem is that VMware Fusion will refuse to run Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard "Client". ![]() ![]() I was tempted to reply, but I had hoped that others would jump in sooner. I like ‘command-control-C’ as it’s an easy mnemonic for ‘Carbon-Copy-Cloner’.Sorry. Click ‘Add Shortcut’ and hit the keys you want to use. Click on that and scroll way down to the bottom till you see the name of the Service. Down the sidebar you should see ‘Services’. If you want to add a shortcut key as suggested earlier, open up System Preferences > Keyboard and click the ‘Shortcuts’ tab. Once you can see the workflow in the Services menu, go ahead and give it a click to test it out. □Ĭarbon Copy Cloner does not have to be open for the Service to work. If you don’t, try logging out and logging back in to your user account. Hit ‘command-S’ to save it as a Service.įor all users, if you now click up to any application name next to the Apple near the top left of your screen (see the screenshot at the top of this post) and scroll down to ‘Services’ you should see the new Service already there. After clicking ‘Install’, click ‘Done’ to dismiss the confirmation dialog box that pops up.įor those of you running Snow Leopard (10.6.8), after clicking ‘Open’ the workflow should open in Automator. ![]()
