After installing Snow Leopard I can no longer "save photos on computer" after inserting a memory stick to an HP Photosmart C5180 All in 1 Photosmart C5180 All in one

Hello,
When I insert a memory stick into my HP Photosmart C5180 All in one and I try to "save photos on computer" the printer reads: "You need to install device software". This all started happening after I installed Snow Leopard on my Mac 10.6.8. Can someone please advise on what I need to do?

Typically it's a good idea to uninstall any devices attached to the Mac before doing an upgrade. This prevents problems that can be caused by the upgrade. Below are the instructions for uinstalling and reinstalling the printer. I'm also going to include a link to the full feature software and drivers for the printer. Let me know what happens.

After installing iPhoto 08, I can no longer synch photos to my 5G ipod

After installing iPhoto '08, I can no longer synch my iphoto library to my ipod. It comes up with a cryptic error message that says "an unknown error occurred" and lists it as -50.
I have done a FULL RESTORE on my ipod and got the same error immediately upon trying to synch the iphoto instead of a directory (gets the error after pressing the apply button in itunes).

I'm not much help here, but I've had a similar (but slightly different) problem. I have my iPhoto library on an external drive. After installing iPhoto '08, iTunes no longer recognized my iPhoto library, and it won't let me select it. I had over 10,000 photos synced with my iPod. Now I have none.

I can't use my MacBook after installing snow leopard

I have just installed snow leopard. I have been using it briefly but after re booting I cannot get beyond the log in. It shows the desktop but then sends me back to log in again. I have booked into the genius bar but that is in on Friday afternoon. Any suggestions as have 5 days to try and resolve it .
Thanks in anticipation.

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

Can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard

I can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard. Is anyone else having this problem?
I have a standard iWork '08 install. Has anyone experienced? And better yet, know of a fix?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Most users who have had a problem opening Office files with the iWork apps after upgrading to Snow Leopard have the problem fixed by updating to the latest versions. For iWork '08 that is Pages 3.0.3 & Numbers 1.0.3. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.0.2 & Numbers 2.0.2. I don't use Keynote, but it should also be updated. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

After installing snow leopard excel no longer in correct format

After installing Snow Leopard, my excel files only open in text edit and my powerpoints are scrambled or cannot be opened.
Is there a way of restoring them to at least their original form before the update or do I need to install the latest Word?

Assuming Office is still installed, you can change your Excel files so they open in Excel again. Right click on one of them. Get Info. Change "Open With" to Excel. Change All.
You didn't say if your Powerpoint files are also opening in Textedit. If so,I would expect them to be scrambled. But, then again, so should your Excel files. If they are opening in Textedit, do the same procedure as above with a Powerpoint file so it opens in Powerpoint.
You will have to do the same thing for the different vesions of Excel and Powerpoint files you might have such as XLS, XLSX, PPT and whatever other extensions Office uses. Plus I assume your Word files don't open in Word either so you have DOC and DOCX that would need to be changed to open in Word.
If none of that works, you might have to reinstall Office.

Met with a white screen after installing Snow Leopard on Macbook (mid 2007)

After installing Snow Leopard on my Mid 2007 mac book pro I was prompted to restart. I restarted and the computer turned on but only got as far as a white screen that stays white with no further activity for an indefinite amount of time. I've restarted the computer a few times with the same results. How do I fix this and get past the white screen?!

Try booting into "verbose mode". That will cause a series of messages to appear on the screen during the boot process. When that stalls (presuming it does so), write down the last few messages and post them as a reply.
You might also try running the diagnostics that came with that Mac. Depending on the model, you can boot with the "system restore disc" in the machine with the "D" key held down to run those. Run the diagnostics several times.

"Inkjet 4 Quit Unexpectedly" error message after installing Snow Leopard, C410 printer

Can't get printer to print after installing Snow Leopard. C410 Photosmart Premium All in One Printer. Keeps saying "Inkjet 4 Quit Unexpectedly". Wireless test says everything is fine.

If you are using Snow Leopard or Lion and have HP software for pre-Snow Leopard (either from a CD not marked as compatible with 10.6 or you recently upgraded to Snow Leopard or Lion and had the HP software on your Mac before you upgraded - even if you did a standard uninstall of the old software or installed new software over the top of it) you must uninstall the software using the 'scrubber' option:
Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
Click on Continue
Highlight your device on the left pane
Press and hold Control + Alt + Cmd keys on the keyboard simultaneously while you click on Uninstall <<<< This IS the Scrubber Option, there is no button labeled "Scrubber"
There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
Click Continue and let it finish
Restart your Mac
Download and install this: support.apple.com/kb/DL907
Now reset the printing system:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
Finally, get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.

After installing Snow Leopard problems with using any of my Helvetica fonts

I've never really have a problem with any of apple's products until now.
After installing Snow Leopard I've found problems with using any of my Helvetica fonts,
which is a BIG problem if you work in DTP or print. You CAN'T remove the system version of Helvetica, and replace it with your own anymore.
Also Flash CS4 seems to be a dead duck, as after about 5-6 seconds of loading the program it crashes with a "KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE".
<title edited by host>

Thanks Tom but the original post title was "Work in DTP, don't install snow leopard", but of course apple were unhappy with the title. I know the issue/problem has been discussed for months, the real problem is that it shouldn't be a problem which everyone has to find work arounds for.
After 4 days of playing about, I've finally got flash CS4 working and Quarkxpress was also a big problem for a few months. Printer description (PPD) files which snow leopard doesn't like, but worked in tiger & leopard.....means I can't use my two A3 inkjets for proofing anymore.
I'm just disappointed by snow leopard

Hi there ricalimo,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps in the article below. If the issue is location specific, than you may want to save the article so you can perform troubleshooting when you are experiencing trouble.

After installing Snow Leopard the speech application keeps quitting

Hi everyone, I have recently installed Snow Leopard on my 06 iMac, installed all the latest updates.
I then found that when I try to set up voice activation application: system preference–speech.
The application opens for a few seconds and then unexpectedly quit. As I'm studying I use Acrobat reader
to read documents back to myself. I am not sure if it has anything to do with my machine being a 32-bit machine, and Snow Leopard
is mainly a 64-bit operating system. But I also find that the Read aloud option in the Acrobat reader does not work
and causes acrobats also unexpectedly quit.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on?
Thank you

Unable to print on HP J6480 after installing Snow Leopard

After installing Snow Leopard I've been unable to print from my HP J6480. I get an error message saying to check for updates from Apple and the manufacturer. Apple shows no more updates. I've added a printer driver v2.6 from Apple, but that hasn't helped. Had no problems printing before this. Any suggestions?

Never mind. Just went to Hewlett Packard site and the suggestion was to reinstall the printer. I did so and it now works. Of course, the reinstall wiped out other printers I had on there....Adding Snow Leopard has resulted in much more work than I thought it would be!
