Adjustment brush not working on new Mac with Snow Leopard

Just purchased a new computer a couple of weeks ago. Not sure if something is incompatible or something else. I'm can't remember if the brush ever worked on the new machine. Also updated to Snow leopard 16.2 during this period.
I see the adjustment brush and can change it's size and feathering, flow and density are set at 100%, masking is off, it set down control points, but that's it. It makes no visible changes to the image in any mode. If I put exposure at 4 stops and place it on a mid-tone there is no change to the image, either in Lightroom or upon export.
I've run permissions checks, trashed the preferences and repaired the drive with Diskwarrior all to no avail.
Lightroom 2.5, Power Mac 2.66 Ghz Quad Core Intel Xeon, 6 GB of factory installed memory, Snow Leopard 16.2
Should I try a fresh install of Lightroom??

Sorry,
My post above should have read Mac Pro. I recently switched and keep getting the names mixed up. Doesn't help that they look the same.

Adjustment brush not working on Power Mac w/ Snow Leopard

Running Lightroom 2.5. I've done permissions repairs, run DIsk Warrior and a re-installed - nothing works. Works fine on my laptop with Tiger. Power Mac 2.66 Ghz Quad, 6 Gigs of Apple Ram, OS - 10.6.2. The brush is visible, lays down a point, but makes no visible change to the image. I'm totally frustrated with this.
Anybody else having this problem? Any ideas?
Thanks,

Sony e reader prs 600 not showing in bookmark pane on my new Mac with Snow Leopard

I have a brand new sony e reader prs 600 it is supported but I am unable to see it on the bookmark pane in my new Mac with Snow Leopard is it something to do with Snow leopard? Or why can I not see my sony e reader? thank you

According to the Adobe website ADE 1.7.1 is compatible with Mac if you
look at system requirements and with the Sony reader if you look at
supported devices. Though it doesn't mention Macs latest O/S.
and if I download an Adobe digital editions book, can I then move it
to Sony's ebook software, or is the format unsupported on the Sony
Ereader?

Buying a new mac with snow leopard vs. lion?

I've been saving up to buy a Macbook pro for sometime, to make the PC to Mac switch, and after the announcement of lion I've been considering waiting to buy a new Macbook until lion comes out. I'm not entirely sure about this decision though because of new OS bugs and the like so I was wondering if anyone had any advice on waiting until lion comes out to buy a Macbook or just buying now while snow leopard is still out and wait to update to lion in the future.

As Paul indicated, there's no sense in waiting. Lion, while announced, still has not received a release date. In addition the current architecture (Sandy Bridge) is the latest and greatest. Intel and Apple are always working on new stuff, so even if you wait for Lion there's a new machine being assembled in China the day you purchase the "latest and greatest."
Another thing to consider is compatibility. With any new major release there's going to be problems/issues and existing software compatibility issues. As a "switcher" you'll also need to purchase new software, as just about all of your existing PC software will not be compatible with OS X (Snow Leopard or Lion for that matter).
Personally, I don't think there's any compelling reason to wait. Apple does not always release new hardware with a new OS.

Where can I buy a new iMac with Snow Leopard on it?

Hi Folks,
If I go to the Apple Online Store I can only purchase imacs with Lion on it. My software does not run on Lion. Where can I purchase a brand new iMac with Snow Leopard on it?

It is a little late in the game to find one at Apple, much less one from an Apple Reseller like Fry's or Best Buy. For example, late last year I found a new 2010 Mac Mini that was still on Snow Leopard at the Sacramento Fry's, but it was there last one.
Actually your best bet at this point in time, is to buy used from a private party or "yuck" reconditioned from a second hand reseller.

Am I worth to wait for the new macbooks with snow leopard?

As the day Apple released the new macbook pro 17. I was considering about If I need to wait for the all macbooks with the new operating system. Because I just heard that Snow leopard will come with a 64 bit. But now leopard just is with 32 bit. Some of people said new macbooks with snow leopard will be different from the old models(2008 late), even the macbook pro 17 2009. Can someone help me? Thanks a lot.

I think if you need a new laptop you can take the plunge. If you have a look on the apple website on the SL page you will note the following text near the bottom:
+Benchmark based on the SunSpider JavaScript Performance test on a 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo-based iMac with Mac OS X Snow Leopard and 2GB of RAM.+
That's the sort of specs for a machine that would run the OS well...I think the new 17" MB Pro is well within that ballpark.

Hi, I have Mac with Snow Leopard and was trying to purchase Lion , so I can move to I cloud, when trying to buy the app I get a message that a minimum 2gb of memory is required. I went check the hard disck info and it says available memory 20gb :-(

Apple Logo, left hand side of the menu bar, About this Mac. It should be right there. If not then More Info, Sys Info.
But it would seem you don't have 2GBs installed and more then likely both RAM slots are already filed. So you just need to buy more RAM in a pair. That could be 2 1GBs chips or if your Mac can have more then that then 2 2 GB chips or 2 4GB chips.
Get your model # and go to Crucial.com and use their memory search to find out how much your Mac can have installed and the price for it. I suggest you install as much as it can take. Cost is very low on RAM these days.

Lightroom adjustment brush not working

My adjustment brush was working fine, I took a break, and when I came back the brush won't do anything. The pin appears but the image doesn't change. I've tried adjusting size, feather, and flow all over the scale, and I've pushed the exposure down as far as it will go so I can see if anything happens. None of the regular exposure, highlight, shadow... settings are doing anything. It is showing up in the history bar but no change to the image.
I have tried closing and reopening the program and restarting the computer. It's been several days and I still can't get it to work

How do I transfer files from mac with snow leopard to a new retina display mac

What is the easiest way to transfer files from my old mac(2008) snow leopard to my new retina display mac book pro?

Easiest? Well there is some sort of wireless transfer thing, but I hear it takes FOREVER like several days and it's glitchy.
The Retina doesn't have a Firewire port I believe, so Target Disk Mode is out, unless you have a adapter and I don't know how well that will work out. Cost another $30 for the adpatper I bet.
The likely most easiest?
Run down to any computer or office store and pickup a powered external USB hard drive that's the same size or larger then the old Mac's boot drive.
Boot the old Mac and download Carbon Copy Cloner.
(or use the TimeMachine if it asks, but it takes a reallly long time and if there are problems, then it's harder to recover files from)
Format the external drive in Disk Utility with Partition: option GUID and OS X Extended Journaled (default setting)
Use CCC to clone OLD A boot drive to External Drive B, takes about a few hours depending how much stuff you have.
Hook up drive to new Mac, (either clone or TimeMachine drive)
Use the free Migration Assistant in your Application Utility folder to transfer over, but creates a new user account (you can later delete one)
Or if you haven't set up the new Mac yet, when you do set it up during that process, you can transfer from the External Drive B and it won't have the account you set the machine up with naturally just uses the ones from the clone or TimeMachine drive.
Once your fine and dandy on the new machine, then Disk Utility erase and use the external USB to create either a bootable clone with CCC or a TimeMachine drive for backup.
Since you need a backup drive anyway, this method is better and happens to be reliable and easy.

Installing Lion and formatting my Mac (with Snow Leopard)

Hey everybody!
I have a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard.
I want to install Lion from the App Store and format my Mac. How should I do it?
Thanks!

Aha!
The proper way to "clean" a computer before selling it is to zero the hard drive. This will make all your data irretrievable.
Steps for zeroing the drive Disk Utility:
1. Insert your Mac OS X CD-ROM disc or Restore DVD disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key until you see the spinning gear.
2. Once started up from CD or DVD, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from disc to access Disk Utility.
3. Choose the entire disk (top icon).
4. Choose erase tab.
5. Click on Options
6. Choose "write zeros".
7. Erase
This will take a bit of time because the computer is physically writing zeros to each block.
You should then re-install the original OS from the system disks and deliver the Mac to the new owner with the system disks that shipped with it.
If you want it to boot as new at startup, do the installation of OS X and follow the onscreen prompts until it asks you to enter a username and password to create your first account. Quit the installer and shut down the system. The next time the system is powered on it will display the same welcome message and be ready to setup OS X.
Or you can delete the AppleSetupDone file.
rm -rf /var/db/.AppleSetupDone

Isight is not working anymore after updating to snow leopard

it used to work very well. i updated snow leopard 5 days ago. i try to use skype and photo booth, it is never working again. do people have the same problem?
thank you for your information

lightwright wrote:
Thanks for the info - however surely this has something to do with the snow leopard software update - not a hardware failure or is that just a coincidence?
My iSight was working fine before I upgraded to snow leopard? Is there a software fix coming?
Welcome to Discussions, lightwright
... this has something to do with the snow leopard software update ...
You may be correct that the problem has something to do with your SL update, but, as previously explained, many of us successfully use iSight every day after upgrading to Snow Leopard, so the problem is not SL itself. If you believe that your problem is with your update, you should consider reapplying the update using the method suggested above.
If you continue to have iSight problems after properly applying the SL update, consider all relevant troubleshooting suggestions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
However, if your iSight problem continues, and if iSight now does NOT show as a USB device in your Mac's System Profiler, yours is most likely a hardware problem. In that case, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
If, after properly applying the SL update and using the Troubleshooting suggestions, iSight IS recognized in System Profiler but still does NOT work with any of your video-enabled Apple software, your disk may contain some pre-SL software that is causing problems. Either erase the disk and apply only Apple software to see if that fixes your problem, or seek help from your Apple-Authorized Service Provider.

A new mac without snow leopard

my parents just got a new macbook 15 inch from best buy.... it doesnt come with snow leopard!!! i have snow leopard but i bought it for one mac... will it install on their mac?
Anyway shouldnt they get it free they just got a new mac???

They did not buy a mac that was new enough to get Snow so they get to pay.
Since Best Buy is an Apple authorized reseller, at worst someone will have to pay $9.95 for the Snow Leopard Up-to-Date Program disc, assuming only that the Mac was sold as new & is on this list.
However, as suggested earlier, the buyer should contact the Best Buy store to see if there is anything they will do. Failing that, call AppleCare & explain the situation. Since the 'up-to-date' offer in effect extends the original product's bundled Leopard OS software license to cover Snow Leopard, they may offer some alternative, like OK'ing using the Snow Leopard installer disc you already have to upgrade this Mac.

Running CF9 and CF10 together on Mac with Snow Leopard

This may be a very basic question, but I am trying to set up CF10 to run alongside CF9 on a developer installation on my Macbook with Snow Leopard. I can see both administrators, CF9 on localhost and CF10 on 127.0.0.1:8500. It seems that both are runing on JRUN because I can't run CF10 without having CF9 running.
How do I set up a site to run on CF10 only? I can't figure out how to set up the virtual host files to have the site determine which version to run. If I set up the virtual host in Apache2 httpd-vhosts.conf file, it seems to run the site using CF9 and it breaks because it has to run on CF10. If I set up the server.xml file as if it was using Tomcat, then it seems to break the ability to get to the administrator app in either CF9 or CF10 to run.
Any ideas out there to help me?
