After we installed a new airport extreme, the imac running snow leopard displays black box msgs saying to hold down the power button and or the reset button and then restart your computer. Can anyone provide info that can help resolve this issue?
Experiencing similar issues on both imac and power book: after replacing an original airport extreme with a new airport extreme both computers display a black box msgs that reads: "...turn off your computer by holding down the power button and or the reset button for a few seconds and then restart your computer."...
one of the printers are usb'd to the imac. The printer is not "seeing" the imac nor will it print wireless from the powerbook which was the norm prior to the upgrade on the airport extreme.
Upon restart, the imac does not "see" the wireless keyboard or the mouse until it is "found" again.
At this time the imac or the powerbook can get on line.
It sounds like your computer is getting Kernel Panics. Please look at About "You need to restart your computer" (kernel panic) messages and if the message seen on your display is like the one in the link then you have confirmed you had a KP. KP's can be tough to track down because they can be caused by software or hardware. The first place to start is to post the complete crash log so we can look at it, often there are clues in the log. You can find it at:

Intermittent AirPort Connectivity Betw iMac Running Snow Leopard And Others
I just installed Snow Leopard on my iMac and also have a MacBook Pro still running Leopard (10.5.8) and an iPod Touch. My internet service provider is Qwest DSL.
Prior to installing Snow Leopard I have successfully been able to use the Internet sharing preference panel and the AirPort utility on my iMac so that my other devices would be able to get reliable internet connectivity from the iMac.
However, since installing Snow Leopard on my iMac, I have had problems being able to pick up the internet connection from my iMac to my MacBook Pro and iPod Touch. It works for a while and then I lose the connection on the MacBook Pro and the iPod Touch, though my iMac still maintains its internet connection.
I have looked at the Internet Sharing Preference Panel on my iMac and it is set to "Internet Sharing On" with "Share Your Connection from: Ethernet" & "To computers using: Airport".
The only (temporary) fix I have found so far is to reboot my iMac and then the MacBook Pro and the iPod Touch are once again able to get their internet connection from the iMac.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what settings I need to change in order to maintain a steady internet connection broadcast from my iMac to my MacBook Pro and iPod Touch?I have a first gen iPhone and just got mine working today by following these steps.
The following procedure is confirmed to work as written.
Start Internet Sharing if it's not already running.
In Terminal, type cp /etc/bootpd.plist /tmp/bootpd.plist
Stop Internet Sharing.
Open "open -e /tmp/bootpd.plist" for editing using TextEdit or whatever.
Locate this section of the file, near the end:
<key>replythresholdseconds</key>
<integer>4</integer>
Change the value 4 to 0.
In Terminal, type sudo cp /tmp/bootpd.plist /etc
Start Internet Sharing.
If you want to, check that your change to /etc/bootpd.plist hasn't been reverted.
then i just restarted my phone and everything seems to working for the past few hours.

I have just purchased and installed a new Airport extreme base station but now the Airport Utility cannot see my old Airport Express. Are their compatibility issues and do I need to purchase a new Express?
When you can, take a look at the old AirPort Express and locate the model number in the faint print on the side of the device.
If you see A1084 or A1088, this is an older Express version that is no longer supported by the current version of AirPort Utility that you are using with the new AirPort Extreme.
If that is the case, your Express is at least 6 years old...probably older...so it is about time to treat yourself to a new version with much faster speeds and more features. -
Installed my new Airport extreme and try to link it to airport express but the wifi still very slow
I installed my new Airport extreme today and try to link it to my airport express to expend my wifi coverage to my second floor but the wifi si very slow on second florr not better then without express? what can I do??
Hi Francois
Any wired connection or WiFi network extension (using your AirPort Express) with your second floor will make your network signal stronger but not necessarly faster. If your WiFi signal is so poor that internet connection keeps dropping, it will make a speed difference. Otherwise the only difference you'll notice is that the range of the wireless network has increased.
You say "wifi is very slow on the second floor". Do you mean that the internet is slow? Is it very fast on the first floor?
Try checking your internet connection speed on a laptop on each floor:
speedtest.net
and press "begin test recommended server".
The download speed should approximate your ISP contracted speed. Upload speed will be a fraction of this. Wifi will be slower but unless you have a super-fast internet connection, you probably shouldn't notice it.

My 2006 iMac running Snow Leopard won't boot even after erasing and re-installing Snow Leopard. I erased and re-installed by putting the iMac in Target Disk mode and usin my MacBookPro as the host. But after numerous attempts I still can't get it to boot either from the HD or DVD drive. I just get the white screen after the wheel stops spinning. I can't get it to run Hardware Test - just get the white screen. If I use Disk Utility via my MBP it says the disk appears OK. All the Snow Leopad files appear to have been installed. What can I do?

Perhaps you installed the wrong version OS X onto the iMac, you can't use the disk from another Mac.
clean the disk.
If it's not working then use this method to create a bootable 10.6 USB from the iMac machine specific 10.6 disk or the 10.6.3 retail disk on your other Mac, use it to boot the iMac with.

How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6 -
My iPhone5 was replaced today and when I did a restore I was only able to access a previous backup to the backup that I did yesterday? Hence, I do not have access to some apps such as ebooks and games. Can you help resolve this issue?
My girlfriend had a similar issue because her new device was not updated to IOS7 when she turned it on, but her backup point was created using IOS7. Check to be sure the restore point was created and then factory reset the phone after you have updated to 7.

I have an Imac running snow leopard and have recently installed a cannon i-sensys lbp7750Cdn printer since then I can't get the printer working and the air port has lost the DNS servers; if it ever had them!!! but it dose not look happy and it is telling me so. Can any one help please?
Snow Leopard breaks quite a few drivers - my Canon exhibited the same problem.
I eventually found updated drivers on the Canon website. You can try that with the HP, but if the all-in-one is more than a year or so old, don't hold your breath.
You can also try Software Update to see if it will offer new drivers, or failing that go to the Support Downloads site and search for HP updates.
In fact there's a new one for HP at the top of the list just now.
You may not necessarily want the latest one, though - check the specs to see if your model is covered; if not, search for the previous update etc. -

I have scanned about 1600 pages of 100-year old documents and saved them as pdf files. I would like to search them for keywords and phrases. Can anyone recommend software that can be used as an index or search engine for these documents?
If you have Adobe Acrobat (not Adobe Reader) the program can perform an OCR on the document you acquired.
In the past I used ABBYY FineReader -
