Os 10.6.8 iskysoft advised me an upgrade was available and after upgrading, a message said there was a problem in the OS and a report would be sent to apple. Now I cannot open system prefs in order to use my backup that would solve the issue. I opened in safe mode and then under the apple, I clicked restart as I was advised. I did this twice and SP still will not open. Can someone give me directions? jaybass

OS 10.6.8 I put my external HD on my desktop and rebooted in startup manager which allowed me to reboot in my backup volume. I then used superduper to make my HD identical to my backup. I then rebooted in startup manager then into my HD. This didn't solve the SP problem but it removed the error window when I opened iskysoft. So now at least I can use iskysoft. So all I need now is how to open SP. jaybass

Have you tried running Disk Utility or, better still, Disk Warrior or similar high-powered utilities? If all else fails, you could reinstall the OS.

I ran DU but not DW which I will in a minute. I don't want to reinstall the OS because I have leopard which means installing SL as well. I will let you know how it goes. Thanks. jaybass

I don't understand. Why can't you just reinstall SL? In case you made a typo, 10.6.8 is SL.

This mac came with leopard then I added SL when it came out. BTW, DW did not work and afterwards I rebooted into safe mode and restarting but that did not work either. Would it be okay to download 10.6.8 combo from google? jaybass
