My airport on my old MacBook is not working since installing snow leopard.

I installed snow leopard last week and started having problems maintaining connections to wifi. It got to the point it was not connecting at all. I have tried all the suggestions posted on online forms to no avail. I finally reinstalled Snow Leopard and have the same problem. I find this very upsetting as I have bought uniquely apple products for the past 13 years. I buy only apple software and I think as a loyal customer I deserve better than this....

I have tried all the suggestions posted on online forms to no avail.
Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue in case there were things you missed.
I think as a loyal customer I deserve better than this....
I'm a loyal Chevy car owner and I am treated no differently than a first time Chevy owner.  Apple is just like any other huge corporation, they treat all their customers the same.  Doesn't matter if you're loyal or not. 
Mac OS X (10.6)
Use Software Update to update your os and anything else that needs to be updated.  You are seriously outdated for Snow Leopard.

  • IWork '05 will not work since installing Snow Leopard

    I have iWork '05 and use Pages and Keynote. Since I installed the Snow Leopard update, when I open Pages all I get is the side toolbar and nothing else. I went to preferences and choose "open blank template" and then it says that it is "unable to open", and I tried using a template that I have created previously and that would not open either. When I choose "Open on Template Chooser" then nothing happens.
    I can't get any files to open or new documents.
    I am unable to install updates for iWork because I am running '05 and not '09.
    Please help.

    iwork05 is not compatible with snow leopard. you need to get a newer version. iwork08 is available on amazon for 20$ used and 30$ new.

  • 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.

  • 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

    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. I need to buy a new scanner 9x12 or 12x17 and I'm looking for suggestions for any scanner of that size that is compatible. Budget about $1000. Thanks! Lilly

    since upgrading phone to iOS 5. I have an old macbook pro and it is running snow leopard OS 10.6.8. I have a minimum of 40 recurring events per week, several of which change. I use the information to schedule future appointments based on those changes and it's causeing a major problem to not have the changes sync. Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Did you try to replace the calendar info on the phone with the one on your Mac? You can find this option in iTunes/Info pane, Advanced section.

  • Why does my DVI to S Video adapter not work on my Macbook Pro since installing Snow Leopard?

    The Apple DVI to S Video Adapter worked before installing Snow Leopard.  Now I just get a blue screen.

    .wpl appears to be a Windows Media Player playlist. I can find no conversion software for that, and Windows Media Player is not available for Mac anymore.
    If you can persuade him to download iTunes and create the playlist as mp3 in a iTunes playlist, or even just burn the base mp3 files to CD as a data disc, that's about the only solutions I can suggest.

  • How do I create more room on my MacBook Pro so I can install Snow Leopard?  It says it needs 5GB and I have 4.something.

    How do I create more room on my MacBook Pro so I can install Snow Leopard?
    I've only got 4.something GB left and it says it needs 5 GB? 
    Which then begs the question, will I be able to do anything with the computer.
    I think I need to get some stuff off, but do not know where to look up what is taking up the most room.
    I have an extra hard drive.
    I have iDisk.
    I have a Time Machine, but it backs up one of my three Macs.
    Thanks.

    A utility like GrandPerspective is a good one for seeing what is taking up space on your hard drive.
    Video and photo files tend to take up a lot of room.

  • 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

  • Why am I not able to install snow leopard on a new hard drive for my macbook pro, which at one point was upgraded to Lion?

    I've just had my hard drive go caput and after purchasing a new one was inclined to install snow leopard but received an error message when attempting to do so.
    I did not create a back up or restore file before I decided to upgrade from snow leopard.
    I'm wondering why am I not able to simply install snow leopard on a brand new hard drive.  What would clue it into me having had ran lion before and why can't I simply delete that kernel or said file.    It makes completely no sense to me.  I come from a pc world where if I choose to format a hard drive, I can do a clean install of whatever OS I choose.  After all I only paid for my laptop as should be able to do with it what I wish. 
    Any suggestions or insight would be greatly appreciated

    1.  Was Lion on the machine and trying to downgrade?
    2.  If so this might be an issue.  Newer machines are done for current OSX.
    3.  If you have Lion on your machine try to install Snow Leopard on another partition or portable HD
    4.  After you format and install SL on the other partition or drive Try to boot from this machine retarting and holding the Option key at boot up.
    5.  See if that work. 
    This is a trial and error way but Mountain Lion is right around the corner and Snow Leopard is 2+ yrs old.

  • Since installing snow leopard on my macbook itunes won't work

    Since I installed snow leopard my itunes wont open it comes up with an error message   The fiel "iTuneslibrary.itl" cannot read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes,
    Can someone help me through this.  Its very frustrating, I was forced to install snow leopard in order to download itunes 10, so that it would recongize my iphone.

    Nothing should happen to the old content.  Still, you should make a backup first because once a month somebody claims something horrible did happen during an update and now they have lost all their music, their dog died, their car crashed, and they got a C- in English literature.  Oh, and it is all Apple's fault for not telling them they had to back up.

  • MBP 17" mid 2010 Snow Leopard Native: why not possible to install Snow Leopard in some new Hard disk?It appears "impossibile 'cause you have Mac OS X" 23.1.1."

    Guys, I want to install SL in some hard disk. It's the native OS, the one came with the MBP. But after having installed Lion, my MBP doesn't allow me to install from the original dvd of Snow Leopard, telling me "impossible because you have Mac OS X” 23.1.1. istaller".
    Someone can help me?

    hey thank you for your answers. I've written that I want to install snow leopard in a new hard disk, not over the lion. In other words, I want a hard disk with the faster snow leopard, that was the native OSX of my MBP mid 2010. But using the last procedure you suggested me, the dvd doesn't appear. I repeat, there's something changed in the firmware that blocks snow leopard.
    the comunication that appears when I insert the original dvd of SL is something like "impossible to install snow leopard because you have Mac OS X” 23.1.1. istaller".

  • Macbook Pro not transferring files from my old Macbook's g-drive that used Snow Leopard...I need help!!

    I just bought a macbook pro yesterday (13 inch) from the Apple Store due to my old 2007 macbook (the 13 inch white one) running slow because of the applications I used. I transferred the old files, and backed all of them up on the 500gb G-Drive external hard drive using time share. I gave the computer to a friend of a friend and no longer have it. When I first turned the new computer on, it gave me the option to restore using a back up disk, like my g drive from timeshare. I chose that and it said it had worked fine. But when I got to the home screen, I couldn't find any of my files. The old computer didn't have lion, it was operating on Snow Leopard. I am trying to figure out how to get my files to show up on my new computer. When I click on my g-drive on my desktop, I see my backups, but all of the folders have the red circle with the negative sign in the middle. I was told to go to disk utility, click on the g-drive and click repair disk, so I did. Still, no progress. I tried using migration assistant and my g-drive wasn't showing, the only icon it showed was the Macintosh HD with the timeshare symbol laying on top of it, I tried doing it that way, again, didn't work. I know how to use a mac, but as far as the technical side, I am truly a beginner. I don't know what to do. I talked to 3 different people from Apple Pro Care over the phone yesterday and they were just as confused as I was. One of them told me that Lion doesn't have Rosetta Stone, so Snow Leopard files cannot transfer into Lion...is this true? I looked up my permissions on my old macbook settings and it said "No" on allowing permissions. If I was told to change it to yes, I would have done that before I gave the computer away. I was on the new computer for over 6 hours yesterday trying to recover my files, still nothing. Can anyone please help?!?! I am really frustrated and lost, any assistance would be greatly appreciated...THANK YOU in advance!!

    oops, time machine, not timeshare, lol

  • MacBook will not warm restart after Snow Leopard upgrade

    I just upgraded to Snow Leopard. Did all updates 10.6.2 now. I must say I like Snow Leopard on the surface; however, this is the first time I have been hesitant about Apple. Upgrade was not without problems with Wifi but those were resolved.
    Since doing install, I can not restart the machine from the Apple menu. It does an apparent shutdown to black screen, light on front of MacBook stays constant, but system never comes back. I have to do a hard shutdown holding power button.
    What I have tried:
    Search the Internet for suggestions. Many similar but identical problems.
    Looked at what is running. No apps just standard stuff.
    Tried PRAM reset. No change.
    No USB peripherals attached.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Problem solved. Reinstalled? Upgraded Flash. Since I don't know what version of Flash I was running under Tiger I don't know if I reinstalled or upgraded. But it fixed all my problems with restarts, shutdowns, FireFox, Safari, general Internet instability.
    Curious: Are there any other "add-ons" floating around on my system waiting to cause me grief?
