Font not working after loading snow leopard.

My font named Smash is not working after loading snow leopard. Is there any way to fix this?

I suspect you're talking about a free font called Smash. Read Kurt Lang's paper on font management
<http://www.jklstudios.com/misc/osxfonts.html>
and especially his strictures on free Windows fonts. The free Smash is a good example of what his talking about. It's a bad, poorly made font. Trash it ASAP.
If you want to check it with Font Book, use File > Validate File…, then locate smash.ttf and proceed. You cannot use File > Valide Font, because that command works only with installed, 'working' fonts.
For the real font, go to

Reviving this conversation. My Canoscan 8400f no longer works after upgrading to snow leopard, and there is no new driver for this machine. As an artist, I'm dead in the water.

Iphoto not working after installing snow leopard

My hardrive crashed while I was living in South America so I got the authorized mac dealership to put in a new one. Once I got back I was able to get all my photos and files from an external hardrive but I realized that my computer software was still 10.5.8. So I put in the Snow Leopard disk that I had bought because I realized that when they put in a new hardrive they didn't install Snow Leopard. After I installed Snow Leopard my iphoto now says "Caution The iPhoto Library folder is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it." How do I fix this? I called Mac and because I bought the computer in 2007 I do not have any applecare so that will cost me $60 and the mac authorized dealership told me to call them or buy the new iLife in hopes that the problem will be fixed.

See if one of the fixes in this topic helps: iPhoto becomes locked volume: Apple Support Communities

Many things not working after installing Snow Leopard!

Just installed Snow Leopard (10.6.3) on my 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac and now I've got problems. All the dates I've added to iCal are gone. Almost all my address book contacts are gone. I can't access my Airport Express network. And my Epson Workforce 40 printer won't print. Hopefully that's all.
If anyone has any ideas on how to fix any of these problems I would very much appreciate your help.
Thanks,
wendy

Thanks for responding.
I didn't have time machine before I upgraded so I don't have a TM backup. I think I have a bootable backup, but I'm not sure how to use it. Also, I realize I should be able to retrieve my address book and iCal, but how will this help with my printing problems and airport connectivity? Sorry to be so green, but I've never had a problem like this with an upgrade before.

After loading Snow Leopard, Firefox has become extremely slow. I have reload FF but no help. Suggestons?

After loading Snow Leopard, FF is extremely slow loading web pages. I have uninstalled and reinstalled FF but this did not help. Any suggestions?

It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

Pages wont work after installing snow leopard

After loading Snow Leopard sometime later I discovered that I can't open pages.

How did you install Pages? Copying from another hard drive doesn't work as a rule. It is best to reinstall from the original media.

Quicktime not working after loading Lion. It is in Applications folder. It is dark when trying to play. Audio is there, no video. Is something set wrong?

Quicktime not working after loading Lion. It is in Applications folder. It is dark when trying to play. Audio is there, no video. Is something set wrong?

It is supposed to be dark.
Is it all videos that don't display or just some. You may have installed something like Perian or Flip for Mac that translates the video codecs for Quicktime. They may need updating.

After Loading Snow Leopard, printer sharing no longer works

I have 3 macs in the house. Printer sharing always worked until I loaded Snow Leopard.
Now the 2 remote macs just continually say "looking for printer". The primary iMAC prints fine.
I've doubled and triple check the preferences on all 3 machines.
Please help!

Deleting the printer queues didn't work for me. What did work is deleting the print preferences (anything with "print" or "Printer in the name in user/library/preferences) and deleting anything in the user/library/printers folder on both machines. Then I setup the printer again on both machines. Also, I noticed printer sharing was on on the machine I was trying to share to, so I turned it off, not sure if it matters.

SQL Developer Not Connecting After Mac Snow Leopard 10.6.3 Update

I installed Oracle 10g on a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.2 as described in here . All worked fine until after updating Snow Leopard last night with to 10.6.3. First I started getting an Insecure Startup Item Disabled message which I solved with the reply to my message at the Apple forums here . That took care of the first issue but now when attempting to connect with SQL Developer, I receive several errors messages in the log most of which point to the source o.jdevimpl.db.adapter.DefaultContextWrapper with a message starting with "Failed to create naming Context for db connections at url: file:/Users... I assume this is some sort of Jave error perhaps related to the Snow Leopard upgrade. However, I have absolutely no clue how to deal with it. I'm a student taking my first database class so the install of Oracle pushed me to my system knowledge limits.
Any help would be appreciated!!

After some poking around on a several forums, I found a suggestion to reapply the OS X update by using the combo install package. That seemed to do the trick. I can now see and connect to my DB.

Time Machine Not Recognized After Clean Snow Leopard Install

I've searched for this particular question.
I was unhappy with Snow Leopard dragging. I wanted a clean install. I did not have the original snow leopard installation for my computer, so I got a different snow leopard DVD. This has apparently caused problems with time machine.
The clean install in complete. I am now ready to migrate my Time Machine backup onto my iMac24". However, Time Machine is not recognized--at least not in the way I want.
When I plug my time machine HD into the USB, snow leopard asks if I want to use this for future back-ups. I decline, because I specifically want to restore what has already been backed up. The HD is visible as an external device--and I can in fact see the raw data of my time machine backup stored in folders.
However, when I enter migration assistant, time machine is invisible. On the page where I am expecting to select time machine, I instead get a perpetually spinning circle icon.
I suspect time machine is "linked" to the prior snow leopard operating system, rather than to the computer ID. Obviously, this is a bit of a mistake on my part. However, I'm already into the breech and I've got no choice but to go forward.
Please advise how to redirect my time machine to its new master (same computer, different snow leopard registration)?
Thanks so very much.

Retail disk? Yes, it was the snow leopard CD.
I used a single license snow snow leopard CD install the first time around, when snow leopard was first released. At at that time I "upgraded" my system from leopard.
This time, I used a different physical disk with snow leopard with a family license. This time I did a "clean" install in which I first erased my hard drive using disk utilities.
There were no problems with the installation.
As I say, my time machine hard drive is "recognized" by the computer as an external drive. It just is not recognized when I utilize the migration assistant. It is also "recognized" as a time machine, but only as a potential time machine for prospective use to update going forward, whereas I want it to open up as a time machine for my iMac that I just wiped clean yesterday.
Thanks for your assistance.

HELP! - Fonts not available after migration to Leopard

My company recently upgraded my Mac from a PowerPC G5 tower - which worked perfectly, to a MacBook Pro Intel Core Duo - so I would be able to work from home. I work in publishing and use pre-set templates and fonts within QuarkXPress. The most important fonts are the ones needed to build our publications, but ever since I've migrated all of my files, fonts, settings, etc. from the PPC to the Intel machine, those (and other) fonts don't work. They don't even show up in the list of available fonts.
We use FontAgent Pro, and I've tried updating that. I've tried demos of other font managers as well as the built in Font Book software. I've installed and run Font Finagler and cleared out all font caches. I've even tried installing those fonts directly into the "/Library/Fonts" folder and the "/System/Library/Fonts" folder and nothing works well. The only one that PARTIALLY worked was Suitcase Fusion, but it didn't recognize all of the fonts - and the ones it did recognize, it changed their names: i.e. "Nimrod MT Bd" became "Nimrod MT-Bold" resulting in the missing fonts message in QuarkXPress.
System: MacBook Pro, 2.2GHz, 2GB RAM, Leopard version 10.5.1, QuarkXPress, FontAgent Pro
Typfaces not working: Nimrod MT, Nimrod MT Bd, Nimrod MT It, Myriad MM (numerous versions)
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanx in advance,
Darryl

Hi Darryl,
From the sounds of it, you have the outline portion of some Type 1 PostScript fonts, but don't have the whole font. Type 1 PostScript fonts are a set. One file is a suitcase containing all of the low res bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts. As an example, here's Adobe Garamond.
Adobe Garamond
AGarBol
AGarBolIta
AGarIta
AGarReg
AGarSem
AGarSemIta
The first file which I highlighted in green is the font suitcase of bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts.
1) The files for a Type 1 PostScript font must have both the screen and printer fonts for a given set in order to work. They also must be in the same folder.
2) The suitcase of bitmap fonts will work alone, but output will be terrible since the system will print the fonts using the 72 dpi screen fonts in the suitcase if the outline portions are missing.
3) Having only the outline fonts will not work. You will get exactly what you are having problems with. You can see the fonts, but Font Book won't load them. That's not a problem with Font Book itself. No font manager will load outline fonts without the matching suitcase of screen fonts present.
It also may be how you copied them. If the fonts were active on the source Mac and you tried to copy them across a network or via FireWire, that usually doesn't work. Copy them first to a new folder on the desktop of the Mac the fonts reside on. Then copy the desktop copies to your MacBook Pro.

IDVD not working right with Snow Leopard...a possible fix

I was having the following issue with iDVD and my new fresh install on a new hard drive of snow leopard 10.6.4:
iDVD would open to the screen where you chose what you want to do
I would click create a new project and get to name it
Nothing would happen but I knew the program was still running. I could see it in the activity monitor
I would go to quit iDVD and it would ask me to save changes and the beach ball would start spinning and I would have to force quit from the dock
Then I found this post after looking litterally all day for a fix....these instructions worked for me and my iDVD is now working normally...
(1) Go this folder:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GraphicsAppSupport.framework/Versions/A/Framew orks/
(2) There should be 3 aliases there:
ImageIO.framework
ImageKit.framework
QuartzComposer.framework
(3) In my case, the QuartzComposer.framework was actually a folder. I removed this and created a new alias to
/System/Library/Frameworks/Quartz.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/QuartzComposer .framework
After making the new alias, iDVD now works just fine. Not sure why this frameworks folder had become damaged like this. I am hoping that there are no negative effects on any of my other applications, but I've kept a backup of the original folder just in case.
I moed the quartzcomposer folder to 2 levels back and made an alias and put it in the A/frameworks folder and viola...iDVD worked for me! I am a happy mac user now

Thanks, had exactly the same problem.
Switched to administrator
$ su adminusername
Navigated to the folder
$ cd /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GraphicsAppSupport.framework/Versions/A/Frame works
Listed the contents of the folder
$ ls -le@
Renamed the folder QuartzComposer.framework
$ sudo mv QuartzComposer.framework/ QuartzComposer.framework.old/
Replaced with a symbolic link to the correct framework
$ sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/Quartz.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/QuartzCompose r.framework /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GraphicsAppSupport.framework/Versions/A/Frame works
iDVD works!!!

Colorsync Engine is still not working correct in Snow Leopard 10.6.4

Colorsync Engine in 10.6.4 causes Print faults in Photoshop CS5.
A light cyan tone is being printed around pictures, where there should be plain paperwite.
I really would appreciate some help.
The problem shows when using custom paper profiles.
(The only situation, in which the problem does not show:
If sRGB is chosen as the printerprofile or if the paperprofile is chosen that belongs to the mediatype chosen in the Epson printersetting. Both are no options as they do not allow to print a colourmanaged print)
So it is obvious that there is still something wrong in the way the different profiles are matched....

I am no beginner - you can believe this.
No insult meant at all. Just no way of knowing how much you do know on the subject.
I have custom paper profiles written for all my papers for this one printer Epson 4800 from targets I printed with no colour management from the printer driver and no colour profile tagged.
No problem there. That is the correct way to print the color patches for profiling.
There is no reason within the paperprofile to make the sourrounding area of the picture to be printed white...
In a very technical sense, there is. All profiles are built to include the ability to choose any rendering intent. So the option for Absolute Colorimetric is in there. Which leads to...
And besides that: How could a profile make an area be printed with a cyan tone that is around the image that is printed. In relative colorimetric rendering. How can you explain this?
It was just a thought. It wasn't until after I mentioned the possibility of using Absolute Colorimetric that you noted you always use Relative Colorimetric.
And the profiles worked before - under 10.5.8.
And they should in Snow Leopard. I'm using all of the printer profiles I made in Leopard for both an Epson Stylus Pro 4000 and a Xerox 6280DN in Snow Leopard. Color is identical from the same applications and the same test images. Both CMYK and RGB. I was able to easily test this as I have both 10.5.x and 10.6.x installed on two drives of the same Mac. So it was just a matter of booting into one, printing the images, then the other to do the same and compare output.
You noted at Adobe's forum:
Around the document, the printable space is filled with a very light colour.
Then printed it 5 to 6 times on the same sheet so it would be easier to see the cyan tone being printed. How was this tone added? I ask because your screen shot shows pure white as the background color. Is it neutral? Such as an RGB value of 253, 253, 253? If everything is correct (settings, profile, etc.), it should build up as a slowly darkening gray, not cyan. But you already know that.
But even if you choose no colour management in the printer driver, there are profiles and media settings that belong to the media you choose in the printer driver.
Not quite sure what you mean there. If you choose no color management, then any profiles in the printer driver are disabled. As far as the media settings, the paper you choose tells the printer the weight of the media going through it, so it can adjust the height of the guide tray. Important for heavy stock (canvas in particular) so it doesn't rub while going through. But much more importantly, it tells the printer how much ink to use. Plain paper will cause the printer to use a different amount of ink than if you choose something like Premium Glossy, even though both may be set to use a print quality setting of 2880 dpi.
The point there is that it is equally important to choose the exact same paper settings in the print driver as were used when the targets were printed, even though color management is turned off.
Actually, the issue may be how old these profiles are. I never print straight to the Epson 4000 since a profile can't account for drift. I go through the full version of the ColorBurst RIP for everything. The reason why is so you can account for hardware drift by re-linearizing when you notice grays starting to go pink/green/blue, etc. All inkjet printers drift as they are used. Meaning, the size of the dots change as the heads and ink pumps wear out. It's slow, but it does shift the color slightly as time goes by. Linearizing brings the gray balance and gamut back to its original point without having to create an entirely new profile.
A straight profile can't account for this. As the printer's color shifts, the profile can't move with it and colors shifts on your output starts to become apparent.

Gmail POP will not work after upgrade to Leopard (Mail 3.5)

Hi,
I recently upgraded to Leopard and was previoulsy using Gmail for my POP service, whuch worked fine.
I was a little disappointed that the upgrade disabled by HTTP app that allowed me to access my Hotmail, but no big.
The big deal here is tht I have tried everything listed on Gmail's troubleshooting page for POP accounts and I can't get Mail to connect to the smtp nor pop server. I tried deleting recreting the account, verified settings with what's listed, opening the firewall, testing the telnet connection (nothiing happened, so I guess that's good?).
I sent this issue to Gmail but all I got back was a redirect to the Troubleshooting page and an .exe tool that I can't use.
Anyone else out there that may have this problem or have a clue as to what I could be missing?
I was also loged in to Gmail while setting up account so I know I can access the mail outside of POP.
Thanks for reading!!!

After spending a couple of hours researching this the solution that worked perfectly for me was to delete all plist files.
1. Start with Finder/Macintosh HD/Mail/ look for the plist file there and delete it.
2. Go back to Finder, ctrl click and select Go to Folder
3. paste this: ~/Library/Mail/
4. Find all plist files and delete.
If you feel more comfortable, you may save them someplace as a backup.
After deleting all plist files related to Mail, restart your PC. If you don't it may not work.
Either prior to doing this or after, be sure your settings are correct for gmail.
Once I did this, all of my incoming and outgoing messages loaded properly and everything worked perfectly.
If you need additional assistance feel free to leave a message.
