I followed these instructions to upgrade Leopard to Snow Leopard on my Mac. The installation went smoothly. As always, however, always backup your data before doing any software installation.

If you’ve had problems upgrading to Snow Leopard, please post a comment.
The general consensus (as of today), is to hold out on installing Internet Explorer 8. I still see compatibility problems with some websites. If you’re a savvy computer user, you may be able to work around the issues (like using compatibility mode). If you’re not, and you just want it to work, then hold off on installing IE8. If it’s already installed, then you can uninstall it from the Control Panel. If Windows updates keeps trying to install it, you can go into the Custom option in Windows Updates and hide it for now. Good luck! If you’re still having trouble, anyone at ByteMarks can help you remotely. Call us at 970-927-2333. Find us at bytemarks.biz.
