Hi. i just bought a new iMac (27" MD096TU/A) and i don't like mountain lion. (Because i must use Freehand MX and mountain lion does not support this software). Now i want to downgrade to snow leopard. Is this possible?
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
No, it is not really possible to install an older version of OSX on a mac that came from the factory with a newer version. What you can do is install snow lepoard in a parallels virtual machine.
Thank you very much for your help. To do so, which program do you recommend?
I only have experience with parallels. It has always worked OK for me. Snow lepoard, winXP, & centos linux are all on my 2009 iMac. It has a mode where the virtual machine applications work alongside your other apps. Pretty easy to setup. The other contender is fusion but I haven't used it. I think there is even a free one out there. Parallels has a user forum on their website, you can ask any particular questions there and get good answers.
thank you very much again. im downloading parallels right now. 🙂
Freehand running on Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) installed into Parallels:
