There may be less reason to run Snow Leopard today than there was ten years ago, but I was overcome with nostalgia and managed to get it going. Its successor, Lion, was released two years later, so back then I wrote a post about how to run Snow Leopard in a virtual machine so you could, at the time, keep on trucking with AppleWorks, QuarkXPress, Quicken, and other apps that did not have Intel versions available.Īpparently, the method I used stopped working as of Parallels 7, but someone else wrote up how to do it - though judging from the comments, that method stopped working well around Parallels 10 or 11, and I myself could not get it to work. Snow Leopard, aka Mac OS X 10.6, was released in June 2009, and it represented the last version of macOS to run older PowerPC based software. If you want our office to set this up for you (which we can do remotely), please email to schedule an appointment. It has been verified on Parallels 17, 16, and 15. This is a technical post on how to get the Snow Leopard OS running on a Mac in Parallels Desktop, so that older Apple software can be run on a newer Mac. I’ve added minor updates to accomodate changes in the newer versions, but it’s all mostly the same. Update 2: This procedure still works using macOS Monterey 12.2 and Parallels 17.1.1.
