There is no easy way to "downgrade" Mac OSX from 10.8 to 10.6.. You would have to find a 10.6 installer and cleanly install on the harddrive, which would delete the apps you are trying to use. Maybe a different way of looking at this is figuring out A) How to make your current apps work on 10.8 or B) Are there any new apps that can accomplish the same tasks as your old apps. If you post the apps that are giving you issues maybe we can help find you a better solution.

Trying to run OS X 10.8 on a computer with an Atom and NM10 chipset? Should be OK as long as your CPU is one of the 64 bit ones. Try the latest chameleon package and build a boot USB stick with kernel patcher module is installed - 10.8.2 should install fine.

Lion, Mountain Lion, and Mavericks (10.7, 10.8, and 10.9 respectively) do not come on a physical CD or DVD. They are downloaded and installed through the Mac App Store. After installing 10.7 or later, a 'hidden' partition is created on your computer that serves the same function as the physical discs did in earlier versions of OS X (10.6 and earlier), giving you access to Disk Utility, Install OS X, Get Help Online, and other functions that previously were accessed from a physical disc. If for some reason the hard drive is damaged or the Recovery Partition is otherwise inaccessible, you can access the same utilities over the internet using Internet Recovery. One can, however, create a bootable flash drive as a physical backup of your Recovery Partition using Recovery Disk Assistant. All the information on how to access Recovery Partition, Internet Recovery, and Recovery Disk Assistant are available from the following articles: OS X: About OS X RecoveryOS X Recovery Disk Assistant v1.0

you simply cannot "uninstall" mountain lion just like that... You need to accept this like 20 times before it will be preformed. So I'm guessing you mean something else than "uninstalling" mountain lion? Perhaps you have just changed a setting so the "gray start-up screen" is no longer visible. You can change this in your settings screen, at "users".

Greetings . . . Lesley - they don't exist. Seriously. Apple has decided to store the OS on a 'hidden' partition in case a restore is needed. Also, if the drive is replaced the EFI has an option to download and install the OS from the internet. There are various schemes (unsupported by Apple) to build a bootable CDROM from data on that partition. The other approach that you can use is to purchase Apple MacOS Server of the same version. This will come on a DVD. I'm considering this option myself . . . .Good LuckMark

Possibly because you have not asked a direct question.

If your computer has OS X 10.4 installed on it, it's likely that you have a PowerPC processor. Apple used these for years before switching to Intel processors in 2006. The highest version of OS X that you'll be able to run on a PowerPC Mac is 10.5 (Leopard). You will not be able to install Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion.Easy way to check if you have PowerPC or Intel is by clicking on "About This Mac" in the Apple menu (top left of your screen).

Try repairing disk permissions by running the Disk Utility application until you get no errors (then restarting).Hope by doing that you get the solution.

Hello,You should already have read/write access to your own Application Support folder. If you are referring to the /Library/Application Support folder, repairing permissions should set the proper permissions on the folder, but probably not the contents (you really shouldn't change permissions on system files and folders). Trying to move or change permissions on the contents of an entire folder may also fail if there are items in there that you don't have access for, such as those owned by another user (check the permissions of the specific folder that you are trying to copy to).

I had this issue. It is related to the Mac accounts where replaced my iCloud. Going in to your Settings, and remove your account.
