/etc/hosts in Snow Leopard: ping works, browsers don't?

I've had success in the past using /etc/hosts to direct web browsers to a test server instead of the production server, but it's not working in OS X 10.6.7.
I edit the hosts file:
$ sudo vi /etc/hosts
Add my entry:
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1   localhost dev.localhost
255.255.255.255   broadcasthost
::1             localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost
111.111.111.111 server.com
Flush the cache:
$ dscacheutil -flushcache
Test with ping:
PING server.com (111.111.111.111): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 111.111.111.111: icmp_seq=0 ttl=46 time=220.423 ms
64 bytes from 111.111.111.111: icmp_seq=1 ttl=46 time=242.509 ms
All seems good, but when I load http://server.com in a browser (safari, firefox, chrome), I get the production server and not 111.111.111.111. What did I miss?

Yep, thank you. It's not my server and is coughing up responses that somehow eventually kick me back over to the production content.
I don't expect further help (I probably won't pursue it further myself), but just for grins here's an example telnet request:
$ telnet server.com 80
Trying 111.111.111.111...
Connected to server.com.

Definitely not what I expect. Another request for /cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi just gives a 404 page. Maybe the browser tries a real DNS lookup at that point.

  • Restore data (iTunes Library, Photo's, files etc.) to Snow Leopard from a Time Machine backup made on OSX Lion?

    Hi,
    I have OSX Lion and have been backing up to Time Machine, I now want to do a clean install of Snow Leopard (not from backup), but can I restore my data (iTunes Library, Photo's, files etc.) to Snow Leopard from a Time Machine backup made on OSX Lion?
    Thanks.

    You should be able to restore iTunes and iPhoto files if the Lion system was running the same version of those applications that you'll have on the Snow Leopard system.  However, you won't be able to restore files for applications like Mail, Address Book, or Safari, as the versions of those won't match.

  • Can snow leopard server work in mac book pro

    Can snow leopard server work in mac book pro

    I would generally not recommend booting OS X Server natively on an OS X MacBook Pro system or any other portable (because server really wants a static IP for various of its services, and portables tend to wander networks), but it is possible to boot Snow Leopard Server OS X Server 10.6 for certain MacBook Pro systems. 
    If your MacBook Pro is newer than that list, then 10.6 will not boot on your MacBook Pro directly, but it's possible to install a third-party virtual machine software package onto OS X, and to then load and boot OS X Server 10.6 as a guest within the virtual machine — I'd suspect this is where you're headed here, too.  I'd further guess that you've some old PPC PowerPC software around that requires Rosetta for its operations, as OS X Server 10.6 is one of the ways recommended for accessing that old software.
    There are commercial and free virtual machines available for various versions of OS X.

  • After updating to Mavericks from Snow Leopard, everything works except iPhoto. If I buy the current version of iPhoto for $15, will it work on Mavericks?

    After updating to Mavericks from Snow Leopard, everything works BUT all my photos were lost. If I buy the current version of iPhoto for $15, will it run on Mavericks?

    If you have iPhoto from iLife '11, then I would first install it on your computer. In that way you would be able to get the new iPhoto free since you are running Mavericks.
    iWork and iLife for Mac come free with every new Mac purchase. Existing users running Mavericks can update their apps for free from the Mac App Store℠. iWork and iLife for iOS are available for free from the App Store℠ for any new device running iOS 7, and are also available as free updates for existing users. GarageBand for Mac and iOS are free for all OS X Mavericks and iOS 7 users. Additional GarageBand instruments and sounds are available for a one-time in-app purchase of $4.99 for each platform.
    The iWork apps are free with a new iOS device since 1 SEP 2013. They are free with a new Mac since 1 OCT 2013. They are also free with the upgrade to OS X Mavericks 10.9 if you had the previous version installed when you upgraded.

  • I've got the Macbook Pro with leopard, if i want to get Lion for it, do i have to get snow leopard first? i don't have a mac app store!

    I've got the Macbook Pro with leopard, if i want to get Lion for it, do i have to get snow leopard first? i don't have a mac app store!

    Ian, this might help explain it a bit more:
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/06/07/mac-os-x-10-7-lion-system-requirements/
    It's only available from the store, and you need 10.6.6 to access the store. But if you can download it using 10.6.6 on another machine, you'll be able to install it on a machine meeting the hardware requirements (it doesn't matter which OS was installed on it).

  • Under Snow Leopard my web browsers no longer display thumbnails.

    Since installing Snow Leopard neither Safari not Firefox display thumbnails on certain web sites. The most notable being Google picture search. Everything works fine except the thumbnails are empty white rectangles. If I click on an empty thumbnail I will get taken to an image which displays fine. The problem is thumbnails and thumbnails only.
    I downloaded Googles own Chrome and even it can't display thumbnails on a Google picture search. The problem exists also on many other picture sites such as Getty images, but not, for example, on Wikemedia. It happens in all browsers - all of which are completely up to date as is my OS X 10.6.2. My video cards and monitors are all Standard Mac issue from Apple and the drivers supplied by Apple as part of the OS.
    In all this confusion the one thing that is absolutely 100% certain is that the problem started from the moment I first powered up Snow Leopard. Of that there is NO doubt. Before then there was never any problem. I am a graphics professional and constantly need to picture search. For the time being I have had to dust off my old G4 and use it as a picture search machine and then network the downloads across to the Mac Pro. That is hardly satisfactory.
    Has anyone any suggestions for this bizarre problem? I have done a mass of web search and have found no reference to anything similar.
    Getting rather desperate after months of this ...... :o((

    Well lepkitty I can report success. My browser is now thumb-nailing faster than ever before.
    Problem solved!! You get a gold star!!
    In case others with the same problem stumble on this thread here is the solution. I am no techie so It will be simple .......
    Problem:
    Safari, or any other OS X browser doesn't thumbnail Google (and many other) picture searches but hangs forever loading the thumbnails leaving empty white rectangles on the screen. Google maps don't zoom, pan or update. The problem is unique to Snow Leopard.
    Cause:
    When OS X and Safari (or other OS X browsers) perform certain operations, of which picture searching is one, they speed things up my making multiple simultaneous connections to the host. Rather than loading the thumbnail images one by one they will make multiple connections, to say Google image, and pull down multiple thumbnails simultaneously. Leopard makes up to eight simultaneous connections at a time. Snow Leopard, however, can make as many as sixteen.
    This where the trouble starts. Many router's firewalls interpret too many simultaneous requests as a "SYN flood" (This is a form of malicious attack using multiple simultaneous connections. If you really need to know - more here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SYN_flood) It seems quite a lot router's firewalls set the simultaneous connection threshold at 10. My Phillips did and Belkins do too. Any attempt to create more connections than this will be treated as malicious and will be blocked by the router.
    Solution:
    The solution is to change your router's firewall settings. Every router is different so these directions are rather generic. The precise menus, and wording will change from one to another but, trust me, I am no techie, it's really not difficult .... this isn't going to be rocket science ......
    Here is what you do:
    You access your router by entering "http://192.168.1.1" in your browsers address box. You will be asked for a user name and password. You should find the default setting for these in your router's manual. (On most it is "admin","admin")
    Once in your router's menu you need to look for firewall settings. You may need to look for "Advanced" settings first and then look for "Firewall".
    Once you have found the firewall menu you need to look for "SPI and Anti-DOS" (On my router it's inside a menu called "Intrusion Detection")
    On the SPI Anti-Dos page you should find a list of options that you can set.
    Among these should be the option to change the number of simultaneous connections. On my router it is called "Maximum incomplete TCP/UDP sessions number from same host". It will probably be set to 10. Raise this to 20 and then click OK, Save, Confirm or whatever your router's menu asks for, to confirm and save the new setting.
    That's it! Done and dusted. This has not only fixed the problem on my browser but it has given a real and noticeable boost to all my browsing.
    So let's hope the earth moves for you too ..... ;o))
    ... and a huge vote of thanks to lepkitty for pointing me at this.
    If you want to know more about this in greater technical depth then follow the link provided by her earlier in this thread.

  • Mail etc migration from Snow Leopard

    Hi Folks.
    My new iMac has just arrived. Previously I have moved everything from my old imac to a new one as a single operation. But this has left me with a lot of Power Mac software and loads of other stuff that is now irrelevant. So this time I'm going to set it up from scratch.
    My question therefore is, going from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion, what files (and/or) folders to I need to drag across and replace, in order to bring across all of my emails, contacts and calendar events etc onto the new iMac?
    Assuming it is that simple....
    Many thanks,
    David.

    A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
    The Knowledgebase article Intel-based Mac: Some migrated applications may need to be updated refers to methods of dealing with migrating from PowerPC chips to Intel with the Migration Assistant safely. The authors of this tip have not had a chance to verify this works in all instances, or that it avoids the 10.6.1 and earlier Guest Account bug that caused account information to get deleted upon use of the Migration/Setup Assistant. However, a well backed up source that includes at least two backups of all the data that are not connected to your machine will help you avoid potential issues, should they arise. In event it does not work, follow the steps below.
    If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate.  Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
    Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
      1. Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
      2. Screensavers written for the PowerPC System Preference add-ons
      3. All Unsanity Haxies Browser and other plug-ins
      4. Contextual Menu Items
      5. Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5 Kernel extensions
      6. Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
    See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
    In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
    If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
    If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
    The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
    Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior, TechTool Pro , SuperDuper , and Drive Genius  work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard.  The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.  Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
    Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.
    Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:
      1. Intel In Macs
      2. Apple Guide to Universal Applications
      3. MacInTouch List of Compatible Universal Binaries
      4. MacInTouch List of Rosetta Compatible Applications
      5. MacUpdate List of Intel-Compatible Software
      6. Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
      7. OS X Lion: How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac
    Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs.  The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode.  It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
    If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
      1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
      2. Backup your data.  This is vitally important in case you make a mistake
          or there's some other problem.
      3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
      4. Startup your old Mac in Transferring files between two computers using FireWire.
      5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and
           registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your
           desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
    If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
    1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
    2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:
      a. MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch,
          Late 2008) - What to do if migration is unsuccessful;
      b. MacBook Air - Migration Tips and Tricks;
      c. MacBook Air - Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and
          wireless 802.11n networks.
    Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
    In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
    In your /Home/Library/ folder:
    /Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
    Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
    /Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
    If you want cookies:
    /Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist /Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
    For Entourage users:
    Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft.
    Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
    If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the  Discussions where specific applications store their data.
    5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

  • Yesterday I downloaded Lion. It looked really nice. I then noticed several of my programs that worked flawlessly in Snow Leopard STOPPED working. One of them was my SilverFast scanning software.A new version would cost $450.00. I am going back to Snow Le

    I downloaded Lion yesterday. What a nightmare.
    Before even using it, I noticed several of my programs would not work with Lion.
    My Appleworks 6 program was dead as well as some other programs that I had been using for yrs. I have a dual core iMac.
    If I wanted to open any of my Applework documents I had to open them one at a time and resave them with pages. This could take weeks.I have 1000s of apple work documents.
    This was only the tip of the iceberg.
    I needed to do some scanning for a client. Well, low and behold my Silverfast scanning software for my Microtek 9800XL would not work.
    I went to the SilverFast web page looking for a download to fix this. No such luck. If I wanted to use my scanner with Lion, I would have to purchase a newer version for $450.00.
    Then I went to the Microtek web page, nothing there. I called Microtek and they said they were working on the problem but couldn't tell me it would be available.
    I called Apple customer support. The person I spoke with, Scott, was able to help me. The solution. I will get a refund doe Lion and for $16.00 they are going to send me Snow Leopard on a disk. Problem here is I have to reformat my drive. I have a full back up with Time MAchine, but he wasn't sure if I would lose some of my programs when this was done.
    Am I dealing with Microsoft? This was a BIG surprise to me that Apple would release an OS without testing all programs.
    Given my love of Apple products, I own a lot of Apple stock bought it when it was $45.00,This new OS is a real disaster.
    If you are going to use Lion, I would be careful and call Apple first before downloading.
    I also asked Scot what would happen if my computer crashed and I had no disk to reinstall. He said some Apple stores are selling Lion on a flash drive.
    I believe this is one way for Apple to make ore profits at the cost of the consumer. Apple has more cash on hand then the US government.
    I never expected Apple to do something like this. This is something Microsoft would do as they alwasy seem to rush their new OS without fully testing it.

    If I wanted to open any of my Applework documents I had to open them one at a time and resave them with pages. This could take weeks.I have 1000s of apple work documents.
    You don't have to open and re-save every AppleWorks document you have right now. Just wait till you need one, then do it. The documents aren't going anywhere.
    Am I dealing with Microsoft? This was a BIG surprise to me that Apple would release an OS without testing all programs.
    Frankly, it is not Apple's responsibility to ensure compatibiltiy with every piece of software available for OS X. That is the responsibility of the software vendor. Lion has been available to developers for several months before it's release, so Microtek had plenty of time to update their software. Yet they did not. How is that Apple's fault? I think Apple was very generous to give you a refund for Lion.
    I'm not trying to belittle your frustration but I do think your ire is misplaced.

  • Time Machine to Snow Leopard not working

    Ok, so this issue appears to be multi-faceted so please bear with me as I try to fully explain what's happening.
    I have a mid-2009 Macbook Pro with OSX 10.6.8, and I decided to give Yosemite a try since it was free. Before upgrading, I did a Time Machine backup on an external 500GB WD drive in case I wanted to switch back to Snow Leopard.
    I did the upgrade, but wasn't very pleased with the results. Seeing as how the computer was older I figured it would slow down a touch, but what broke the deal was when I tried to run After Effects and had plugins - that never gave me trouble before - crashing. I decided to restore from Time Machine and rebooted into Recovery Mode. However, by accident I selected the External Drive with the backups as my boot disk. I quickly rebooted AGAIN and selected the Recovery drive, but the TM drive wasn't showing up when I tried to access it for the backup.
    I rebooted back to Yosemite and found that the drive was not mounting despite lighting up and making spinny sounds. Disk Utility could see it but was unable to repair, so I used DiskWarrior instead. Everything seemed to work out ok and the drive was reading on my desktop as a TM backup. I rebooted AGAIN to recovery mode, selected the appropriate backup, and let the computer do it's work overnight.
    When I woke up in the morning and checked in on it, I got an error message saying that the restoration had FAILED at some point along the way. I tried to reboot normally, but the grey screen of death would appear after a few seconds and I'd have to shut down.
    I went back to Recovery mode, tried to access the TM drive, but once again it was not showing up! So I reinstalled Yosemite and was able to login to my desktop. The TM drive was still showing up, and according to a reinstalled DiskWarrior the drive was fine. I rebooted in Recovery, selected the TM backup, and it only took about 20 minutes before the restoration failed! This time the computer appeared to be wiped clean, with no OS.
    Fortunately I still had my Snow Leopard install DVD, so I managed to reinstall it from there. However, now I CANNOT login. My username shows up but the password I've used for FOUR YEARS is constantly rejected. I can't even login to the GUEST account!
    If you've made it this far, PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Pondini - I have an issue too. And so I went to the troubleshooting tips you listed here and was not able to find a solution. Specifically, I don't get a message. I plain ole don't get nothing. After I installed Snow my first backup failed. Funny thing is the backup on my wifes computer also failed. She does not have an Intel Mac. It's a PowerBook G4. Hence no Snow Leopard there. I have a iMac 24 Aluminum. My Time Capsule backup worked fine until Snow. My TC is wired via ethernet. There is no latest date. When Time Machine backup starts the TM preference pane says it's "Making disk available" Something to that effect. And that's where it stays. If I then try to do anything with the preference panel - like close it - I find out the Preferences are not responding. So I force quit. I try to stop Time Machine backups and it's no good. The TM indicator - that little backwards running clock - in the menu bar just keeps on it's merry little way. The only way to stop it - shutdown. Strange thing is shutdown then refuses to - well, shutdown. I end up having to hold the power button for 5 seconds. I don't get error messages. I get nothing indicating what may be causing this problem. I have been searching these and other forums looking for an answer. I had hoped the user tips you listed would have a solution, but, alas, no. I deleted the timemachine plist in the "higher" library. No luck. I have powered down everything. No luck. Those were two ideas I saw that said they worked. So where do I go from here? Where do I look for error messages that will point me in the right direction? I'd appreciate any help from anybody.

    HI,
    If iChat is Open and your think Accounts/Screen Names are logged in then go to the Window Menu
    This should list the accounts that are logged in with various keystrokes ( Apple/CMD ( or ⌘) and a Number) shown next to them.
    Using these should get the Buddy list "back".
    It is possible to Hide the Buddy list and then Quit iChat.
    iChat will then "remember" where the windows were eve if this was Hidden.
    Can you confirm that after reinstalling or restoring from Time Machine with possibly an Earlier Version you have Downloaded the COMBO version of OS X 10.6.8 and "run the COMBO" (Installed it - again) to update iChat ?
    It is possible the text chat Window is also Hidden on double clicking a Buddy.
    The easiest way for this to happen is to use a second Display and drag some windows to the second Display.
    iChat "remembers" where you last had Outgoing Chats so Audio and Video windows will be where you left them as will Text Chats.
    Incoming Chat Invites are normally in set places unless there is a chat already open to that Buddy.
    With  Windowing issue like this is sometimes pays to delete com.apple.ichat.plist itself  (on it's own) and restart iChat  (this plist holds the window positions amongst other things)

  • So why can't I get snow leopard to work?

    early 2008 mac pro.
    32 GB ram test fine.
    1.5 TB drive runs leopard-no problems.
    have installed snow leopard on a blank drive and after about 4 hours, i get the black box shutdown error message. cloned existing drive into a new hitachi drive, shuts down after about 4 hours.
    thought it might be the APC, replaced it, still shutting down. (got APC beeping on start up and overuse)
    the only hardware remaining is video card: ATI Radeon HD 2600
    is there some software conflict that can cause this issue? it shuts down regarless of multiple programs running or none.
    have had the problem since i bought the snow leopard disk last summer, but snow leopard would not install on any of my existing hard drives, so replaced drives to accommodate the OS. running out of options.

    Hi Sam,
    Sorry about the problems you are having. You and I have the same system except the video card, therefore I can say with certainty that you should be able to run OS 10.6.4 at least.
    I have not been able to get OS 10.6.5 to work at all though. The system hangs at the grey apple load screen for me every time. I have been in contact with Apple, who says no one else is having problems running this OS on our systems. They also advocate erasing and reformatting the hard drive and installing the OS. I am not certain how that would be different from installing it on a brand new hard drive, fresh out of the box, as wehave both tried without success.
    I have one suggestion for you that I have not had time to try yet myself. Try removing all but one hard drive from the case (make sure the one remaining is in the first bay). Then try installing the OS and see if it works. This suggestion worked for me when I was trying, unsuccessfully, to install Boot Camp on a drive and it worked.
    Maybe our model does not like certain system changes with multiple hard drives installed. Maybe I just trying to find a solution. Either way, best of luck! Hope you get things to work.

  • Airport Extreme Wireless Printing with Snow Leopard Not Working

    I have two base stations in my home office: an Airport Express that's connected to the cable modem, and an older Airport Extreme (A1034) that's connected to my printer on the other side of the room. They were networked together so that I could go online or print wirelessly without a problem, until I upgraded to Snow Leopard. Now I can go online, and I can print directly from a USB cable to my HP printer, but I can't print wirelessly. The Extreme doesn't seem to show up at all in Airport Utility. Is there a way to get this to work again? Thanks.

    Yes, I do have the latest drivers. I can print directly to the printer through USB. I don't seem to be able to access the Airport Extreme base station though.

  • Installing Omnipage Pro X in Snow Leopard - this worked for me

    I was having trouble installing Omnipage Pro X in Snow Leopard - the installer would get near the end and then just quit saying there was an error.  A search on the web revealed many people experienced this, with a few even getting in touch with Nuance who told them Omnipage Pro X is not supported on Snow Leopard.
    I was just about to give up when I had a "last throw of the dice" crazy idea.  I simply copied the entire installer CD across to a desktop folder, just using the Finder to drag and drop all the files from the CD.  I then ran the installer from the desktop copy.
    And it worked!  The installation ran all the way to the end and Omnipage starts up and works perfectly.  I have no idea why this should work, but installing from the CD fails.
    So if all else fails, try this method and see if it works for you!

    I went to the apple store and find that I would have to pay for the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component. You suggested there is a place to download it.
    If we don't have the component in our Utility folder (I don't) that means I must purchase?

  • Snow Leopard not working after installation

    After successful installation of Snow Leopard on a new internal hard drive (connected through IDE to SATA adapter) in my Macbook (late 2006), it is not working. No icon is clickable, only cursor can move. Please help!

    The OSX 10.6.3 was successfully installed from the DVD. This is the screen after booting. But it is frozen. There is no response to clicking any of the icon in the deck or in the menu bar. I can only move cursor. That's all.
