Parallels 3.0 issue with Snow Leopard

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and now my Parallels 3.0 won't run. It won't even start up. In the Snow Leopard guidance it says anything after Parallels 2.5 should be OK with with 10.6.
I have updated my new MacBook Pro 13.3" with all the latest software as per today in the updater but still no joy.
Not possible to update Parallels as it won't even start up.
Any suggestions?

I think that the best what you can do is upgrade your Parallels to newer version.

Continuing font encoding and tag issues with snow leopard and CS4oI

I am looking for help with a font handling issue with snow leopard and cs4 Indesign. Despite numerous calls and hours on the phone neither Apple nor Adobe has been helpful. I have had this issue open with Adobe since oct 5 but they remain totally unresponsive to date. I need to be able to use Type 1 fonts and do the following , export a pdf from Indesign with the following attributes: 1) xml tags for stories and objects. 2) have the fonts encoded as ansi and embedded.
Some additional information - exporting to ps is not an option as it destroys the xml tags. and doesn't guarantee that the fonts won't become CID or some other odd encoding.
As it stands now,
Leopard (10.5.8) and CS3 creates ansi encoded fonts with xml tags.
Leopard (10.5.8) and CS4 creates ansi encoded fonts with xml tags.
Snow leopard and CS3 creates ansi encoded fonts and xml tags
Snow leopard and CS4 creates custom subsetted fonts and some xml tags.
If any one has any advice on how to force specific font encodings from CS4 pdf exports so that i can preserve the tags and get the correct fonts I would be grateful.

The font encoding is not a function of the OS version, but rather of how a font is internally encoded and the content you are representing with the font.
If you are seeing a difference between MacOS 10.5 and 10.6 with the same Adobe software, it probably has something to do with use of a system font that is somehow different from one version of the OS to another. InDesign does not use any of the OS' font handling software.
Assuming that the fonts are embedded, subset or not, what is your issue with whether a font is ANSI-encoded, custom-encoded, or CID-encoded? It should make no difference for purposes of workflow beyond InDesign for software that adheres to the PDF specification (including all versions of PDF from 1.3 and up to 1.7 plus ISO 32000-1 PDF and all versions of PDF/X and PDF/A).
Neither InDesign or any other Adobe application provides user choices for the encoding since it shouldn't make a difference. The encodings chosen by Adobe's core technology components are for a combination of optimization and to support proper text search, copy, etc.

Laserjet 8000DN issue with Snow Leopard 10.6.2

Hello,
I am having a connectivity issue with a LaserJet 8000DN. The previous iMac was connected to the printer via a D-Link switch, and I assume it was using AppleTalk via Ethernet to read the printer. The OS installed on that machine was OS X Leopard.
We had to replace the iMac, and the unit we purchased is a new Intel iMac 21.5" with 10.6.2 fully updated. In doing my research, I understand the drivers are already installed and need not be updated.
My steps thus far:
1) Print the configuration file from the printer.
2) System Prefs>Print and Fax>Add Printer
3) Choose JetSocket
4) Select IP and enter the IP Address from the configuration file.
5) Click Add.
The dialogue indicates that it's trying to connect and shows a configure or cancel button. I choose configure and the printer appears in my list with a green indicator showing that the iMac sees it.
However, when I send a job to the printer, I continuously get the "unable to connect to the printer, will try again in 30 seconds" message. I have tried every possible combination, i.e. LDP etc., to no avail.
A phone call to Apple did not provide a solution, even when we connected the printer directly to the Ethernet Port which really isn't an option anyway.
Other Information:
a) I suspect my problem is directly tied to the unavailability of Apple Talk in Snow Leopard.
b) I have a static I.P. address assigned to the Mac from our ISP in the 176.xxx range - and The I.P. for the printer shows as 192.xxx - Is this a conflict?
c) I am not using an Airport - We are stuck with a Westell DSL Router that has no ports available.
d) Someone suggested a Print Server connected to the D-Link so that the iMac and the Dell on the network could use the printer.
Any enlightenment will be extremely appreciated - This is a crucial operation for our business, and if it requires that we look for a new printer solution, we will need to move ahead swiftly.
Thanks!

a) The reason you cannot configure as you have been able to do in the past is because of the lack of AppleTalk, but you should be able to reconfigure things to work.
b) If your printer is at an address which is outside of the subnet mask of the router, that is a problem.
c) If you have a router, but not enough ports, the switch provides more ports.
d) The printer is network capable, so you do not need a print server.
So it looks like your problems are from your network setup.
I take it that your ISP has provided you with a fixed IP address. You should have the output of the modem connect to the WAN port of the router. The LAN ports should be connected to your computers and other network devices, and if you need more ports, connect one port to the switch, and connect the other devices to it.
The router should be configured to connect to the internet through its WAN port. From that, it should distribute that connection to your computers, to the addresses it is configured to provide. Those are usually in the 192.168.xxx.xxx range, but could be different. You should be able to change them. If the router LAN address is 192.168.1.0 and subnet mask is 255.255.255.000, the things that you connect to it can have address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255.
You should be able to change the address on the printer if you need to. The instructions should be in the printer documentation, or available on the HP website.
You probably have all the hardware you need, but you need to look at your network configuration, decide whether it is correct or not, and make adjustments to get this working.
A word of warning: If you have a fixed IP address because you have a server connected directly to the Internet, you need to configure your router appropriately. If you do not understand all of this, you may need someone familiar with network setup to help you.

Windows 7 install issue with Snow Leopard

Hey Guys!
Just upgraded my Macbook Pro (Unibody Late 2008) to Snow Leopard and did all software updates. I then partitioned the drive to install Windows. When installing Windows it would only install if I reformatted the partition I wanted to install it on. So I did that. After hours of installing and udating Windows 7 I found that I did not have bootcamp on the bar at the bottom. I tried to upgrade to BootCamp 3.1 but it says Bootcamp 3.0 is needed and not present.
How do I install Bootcamp 3.0 from Windows?
How do I get back to Mac OS? I have been stuck (ugh!!!) in Windows since Friday...
I tried to download the pdf file to read about installing Windows 7 but Windows will not install Acrobat Reader (I really hate windows), fought with it for 1 hour trying to install it.
anyways thanks in advance for the help
KK

Hey Guys
I eventually solved the Boot Camp Problem but then shortly after that had a different problem crop up.
It will not boot my Mac OS, it says the partition is corrupted. Even if I boot from an install disk, it will not mount the Mac portion of the Hard drive. Best info I can get on the issue is that part of my B Tree is too large? Mac Repair utility will not fix it.
Suggestions? Even if I cannot use the partition as a bootable drive I would like to get my data from that disk. Unfortunately I do not seem to have a backup of the data on that drive.
thanks

Adobe CS3 Issues with Snow Leopard 10.6.1

After spending an initial $1,800.00 for CS3, I'm not dropping another $40
0 to $500, just so I can use them under Snow Leopard. Although, I'm hearing a lot of issues with CS4 and Snow Leopard, too.
The problem I have found so far is that when any one of the CS3 applications attempts to check for "Updates...", they crash. I'm unable to update each of the CS3 applications from the original versions on my DVD.
I receive a dialog box that states that "Adobe Updater" quit unexpectedly.
Apple and/or Adobe MUST fix this. I have a newer Intel-based iMac. I completely reinstalled the Mac OS X to Snow Leopard and installed the Adobe apps on a clean computer. ALL of my other applications from other manufacturers are running fine

Can you get your updates from, say, [here|http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?loc=en_us&term=adobe%20upda tes%20photoshop%20cs3&cat=support]. Check fast these are search results. To reproduce what I found, I went to Adobe.com and searched on Adobe updates Photoshop CS3. That's the only CS3 program I searched on.

Cintiq 21ux Color Issue with Snow Leopard

I just recently upgraded to Snow Leopard from Tiger. I have a Cintiq 21ux tablet that is noticeably "faint" now on the new SL. It appears hazy and the colors just don't pop like they did on Tiger. I didn't have this issue with Tiger. Does anyone have any ideas on how to correct the issue? I'm a graphic designer so color is EXTREMELY critical in my day to day operations.
I adjusted the gamma and that showed some improvement but there is still a dramatic difference between my Apple monitor and the Cintiq.
I noticed this was posted earlier but no resolution provided and it was archived.
Please help!

Something just occurred to me that has happened in the past that when I've upgraded the OS that the ColorSync profile that was previously selected for the Cintiq and/or my main display for whatever reason gets unselected. You may want to look in the System Preferences/Display/Color Tab to make sure that the color profile you previously had selected is in fact still there and selected. Make sure that "Show profiles for this display only" is unchecked so that all profiles are visible. More than likely it should be named something like Cintiq 21UX or Cintiq 12WX which was installed when you set up the tablet.

External LCD TV issues with Snow Leopard

Ever since I updated to Snow Leopard, my LCD TV is overscanning the image. If I Maximize Firefox, the outside controls are cropped off. This never used to happen in Leopard. I go to the display settings and disable "Overscanning" and it underscans the image leaving an inch of black space on the screen all around the image, which is more underscanning than it ever used to it.
Also, the image on my LCD seems a bit blurrier. I read about this issue and tried the Text Smoothing tip here http://blog.petersendidit.com/post/blurry-text-on-external-monitor-with-snow-leo pard/ but that didn't change anything either.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

There should be an underscanning slider in the Displays preference you can fiddle with (or is that what you were referring to?).
Does your TV have a "full pixel" mode (or similar words)? Does your TV have it's own overscan/underscan settings?
Which video card? How is the TV connected to that video card?

Parallels 4 black screen with Snow Leopard 10.6.1

I upgraded to Snow Leopard and to 10.6.1 I already had Parallels 4 build 3846 and now when I start the VM the screen stays black and nothing stats. Any suggestions what to do? I appreciate your help!

Howdy,
That's not a bug or anything wrong with your system. Primatte's algorithm (not just in Motion, but in most Primatte implementations) has interdependent parameters, so the jitteriness is those sliders struggling against one another. i.e. the spill suppression limits the matte density, and so on.

AT&T USBConnect Lightning performance issues with Snow Leopard

I recently purchased the AT&T USBConnect Lightning wireless data adapter and attempted to install it on my 15" MBP but ran into global network performance issues afterward so I wanted to check with anyone here who may have the same adapter. I noticed that the adapter has software drivers preloaded on the device that need to be installed on my Mac. Looking at the notes, it refers only to Mac OSX 10.4.11 or better and no mention of Snow Leopard so I'm now very concerned. The notes state that once the drivers are installed, that I'm required to reboot my computer which leads me to think the drivers may have affected MTU and other settings that might also impact performance with my other network adapters.
Appreciate any feedback you might have with this scenario.
Thanks so much!

IDVD (possibly iLife) issues with Snow Leopard

So I've been trying to create a wedding dvd from a video that I recorded for them. I've done this before (on Leopard) and everything worked fine. Since upgrading to Snow Leopard (including a fresh install) this doesn't seem to work.
Basically iDVD wouldn't launch completely. It would let me select 'create a new project' and then load the themes but the project screen wouldn't open. When I'd go to the file menu and open/close etc the main screen would pop up asking me to cancel, save or don't save the current project. Regardless of which option I chose, the program would freeze and I would have to force quit.
This was on top of issues with iMovie in which I couldn't select the transitions options without iMovie crashing.
Now having searched the internet high and low for solutions, it seems quite a lot of people are having issues with this and I think I know why. Those people having issues seem to be the ones who have iLife on their Tiger setup cd's that came with their macbook/desktop.
Now just so you know I have done all the selected solutions such as removing the preference file from library, repairing disk permissions, reinstalling iLife, reinstalling iDVD without the rest of the bundled software. I even went to the extremes of formatting my hard drive and installing Snow Leopard from scratch and this didn't work. So I thought I'd try upgrading to Snow Leopard from Leopard, again the same issue arose.
It got to the stage where I actually ended up going back to Tiger (10.4) and finishing the dvd and burning it. Now with iDVD and iMovie working fine I decided to upgrade back to Snow Leopard, and low and behold, iDVD isn't working.
I really hope Apple are aware of the issue because it seems to be an problem with people installing the bundled software which came with their macbook/desktop on a version of Leopard/Snow Leopard and it not working.
I'm going to take my macbook into the store soon/and or call Apple Care and request a new install disk of iLife to try and eliminate the issues because when I'm creating a movie, I don't expect to have to roll back to 2 previous OSX version's before my software works.
If anyone has any suggestions, please fire them my way.

While 7.0.4 may work fine with your version of 10.6.2, it doesn't work for others. You'll notice quite a few posts in this section of users with the same error.
The only issue I can assume, as mentioned in the original post, is users who are installing iLife from the original installation CD's provided when I bought my Macbook (which came preinstalled with Tiger). The iLife software comes bundled on two cd's, which I and other users install from. Hence it's the only thing the users who are installing and having issues with have in common.
I could understand if it was only me having issues and if these issues resolved themselves from a fresh, clean install after a reformat, but that's not the case.
I'll call Apple Care tomorrow and see what they think.

Mac WIFI issues with snow leopard can I change router settings?

Hello,
I work for a hotel and some of our guests are having issues logging on to WIFI with there mac's, all pc's tablets and phones are fine. It only seems to be mac's with the latest snow leopard operating system.
We are using ruckas AP's broadcasting a WPA2-AES encrypted signal throughout the hotel. Is there any settings we can change in our system to allow them to log onto the WIFI straight away?
We can get users on with macs but have to type everything in manually and we are not always on site to help mac users get online.
Any information would be greatly appreciated
Thank you
Liam

I have just had a look at the Ruckup web site, I know nothing about your setup but presume you are using the 'Zero-Connect' system of theirs. There seems little support information on the site without creating an account and logging in which I did not want to do. The specification says it supports Mac OS X and IOS, I would contact the support team at Ruckus, there may be a firmware update or a specific settings to allow OS X clients easy access.

Harvey,
The "On My Mac" calendars will not sync, and in my experience are no longer required. They can be safely deleted after making backup copies.
