Airporter does not work after snow leopard upgrade

I upgraded my old macbook to snow leopard, and the Time Capsule can not detect the disk drive on the Airporter.  The laptop has no problem using airporter to get to the internet, and the airport utility can see the disk drive.  After the install of snow leopard, I saw the time capsule, and it asked if I wanted the file recovered from the time capsule. This seemed to work perfectly, and made the upgrade painless except my time capsule does not work anymore.

I have the metadata.mds.plist but I do not have the Spotlight.plist as well. Regarding a fix, I had a similar issue with Spotlight's index when I upgraded one of my iMacs. A clean install, properly resolved the issue. I'd be curious if a reinstall of Snow Leopard would take care of the issue, as the A&I feature isn't there anymore I've yet to determine what exactly the install of SL over SL would do. My understanding is that the A&I is performed, it's just not called as such.

  • MPEG-2 Playback not working after Snow Leopard upgrade

    Something I need all the time is MPEG2 playback in Quicktime and to ability to convert from MPEG2. in MPEG Streamclip.
    What I have found out is Snow Leopard deletes the file in library/quicktime when you install.
    I have followed the instructions to go back in the time machine, get the file, restore it back into the library/quicktime file
    Done all that, rebooted etc....still nothing
    I have also found the quicktimeMPEG2 components installer and that doesn't work either
    I desperately need this to work as my business relies on it.
    Any help appreciated
    Cheers
    Paul

    What error message do you get with the dmg installer? I have just tried an MPEG2 file, after upgrading to SL, QT reported it required the meg2 component. I found the original dmg file I purchased and it installed OK and works with QT 10.
    Before trying to install again it may be worth repairing permissions on you disk.

  • HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install

    HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install
    Reinstalling etc does not work - does anyone else have the same problem or a clue as to how to fix this?

    Keith,
    I got a C6280 and the scanner does not work anymore. I am for 6 days in contact with HP. The last printer driver install form the apple web site does not open the image of HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.dmg because of an invalid checksum. The skipping of the validation gives and error in the install.

    According to Roaring Apps, there is a version of Protools compatible with Lion.  But you may need Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to buy either Lion or ML on MAS.   It looks like you need to get up-to-date with your OS and the apps too.

  • Isight no longer works after snow leopard upgrade

    my isight no longer is available directly after snow leopard upgrade on my macbook black. Anyone else with the same problem? The isight does not show up in 'about this mac' under USB and I tried resetting SMC and PRAM.

    Hi,
    In Leopard there was an App called iSight Update app that was in Hard Drive/System/Library/Core Services
    This does not seem to be there in Snow Leopard.
    An issue with some computers with the camera was that in System Preferences > Displays the Colours needed to be set to Millions.
    Also check the Hard Drive/System/Library/Extensions folder and see that you have the Apple_iSight.kext (this is likely to handle the Internal iSights as well).
    One last thing.
    Some Web sites can make use of the camera using Flash.
    If that tab is still open the Browser may have use of the camera.
    It sounds like you have done computer restarts and this will not be the case unless the browser is set to go back to that page.

  • Airport does not work after upgrade to windows vista SP1

    Hi,
    I have a MBP running windows vista 32 bit under bootcamp. For some of my professional software, I need windows. Up to now, everything runs OK.I've upgrade to bootcamp 2.1 and everything still runs just fine. However, I wanted to install SP1 because it fixes some of Vista's (many) flaws. After installing SP1 (it downloads automatically), e.g. airport does not function anymore - it just does not see the wireless anymore (it looks like on my MBP it does no longer find the drivers for e.g. the wireless card). Uninstalling SP1 fixes the problem but brings me back to square 1. Any solutions? Thanks.

    Hi,
    Please reinstall the following package:

  • OS will not boot after Snow Leopard Upgrade

    I have a MacPro (Intel). I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and everything appeared fine. However, after restarting my computer the OS will not load. A circle with a hash through it replaces the Apple logo and the apple's spinning wheel continues but all drive activity. I have tried to run the install again by forcing the computer to open the dvd drive then booting for the OS DVD but this has not worked. Has anyone experienced this and successfully resolved?

    You have a five year old computer, so a failing hard drive at this point is not so strange. You have a couple of options you can try. Start with this one, but if it does not work you will have to erase the hard drive. I hope you have a backup of all your files.
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    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.

  • Macbook pro will not boot after snow leopard upgrade

    My GF has had a macbook pro since mid 2008.  It's been running like a champ since I've known her for the past 3 years with  no issues.  It has/had OSX 10.5.8 installed.  We tried to consolidate all our pictures from all our apple devices and realized she didn't have an icloud on the old 10.5.8 OSX.  So I called apple and they told me to order and install the snow leopard OSX 10.6 first and then upgrade to lion etc after that,  Well we got the disk yesterday popped it in to install and it's been a disaster.... the computer shutdown for what looked like a normal restart during the installation process and never booted back up.  Attempts to manually reboot leave us locked on a grey apple logo screen with spinning gear indefinately whith the Snow Leopard disk installed during boot up.  With the disk removed I get the flashing file folder with a question mark.  I called apple support we tried all the PRAM and SMC resets and then decided that we should go  to the Genius Bar once all those failed.  After an hour and a half drive to the nearest genius bar we were told that the we suddenly had a hardware issue which just happened to coincide with the new OS installation....  I'm not buying it and am looking for some help.  The macbook was running like a champ until we inserted a disk recommended by apple...   Any takers?

  • ZTE AC8710 does not work on Snow Leopard 10.6.3

    I have a ZTE AC 8710 card, recently purchased MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.3. The Reliance data card does not work even after installing the drivers 1.0.27 available on the website. The Network preference just detects the ZTE wireless terminal but not the AT and voice channel and I am unable to dial out. I tried the new generation ZTE card(2726) of a friend and that works perfectly with 10.6.3. I have tried the WWAN settings mentioned in one of the threads but even that did not work.After modifyng the .plist file from the terminal as mentioned in the forum, I was stil not able to get it working. The Reliance drivers detects the device as ZTE Wireless terminal but does not connect. The same device works perfectly fine with my Dell Laptop running windows XP. Any help appreciated.
    P.S Reliance Engineers came to check, but said it is not working.

    Hi Brody,
    Can you add the device to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Network on the left hand side, and move it up to the top device?
    The Device is already on the top
    Does it make any different if you zap the PRAM?
    No Difference
    Does it show up in the System Profiler?
    It shows in System Profiler as a USB Storage Device
    Does your Network Connect application have anything to say about it?
    Network Connect Application says Driver Error

  • ISight not working after Snow Leopard update?

    I just realized my iSight isnt working. I dont see it in System Profiler and I remeber prior to the Snow Leopard upgrade the iSight was working fine.  This was three months ago, since the update i never had to use it until now.  I tried resetting the SMC, I tried the command + option + p + r and still nothing.

    •  If you have not already done so, restart Mac and
        try again.  If the iSight still does not work, continue.
    • If Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
       suggestions do not help you, (are you certain that you
       used the correct "reset" procedure?), yours may be a
       hardware problem that will require a professional fix. 
       Unless you have a current backup, make one now.
      Then consider the final "Troubleshooting" suggestion:
    "... contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service."
    • If I understand correctly, you are now using Snow Leopard.
       If you want to try one more thing on your own before
       seeking professional help. use Disk Utility to repair permissions.
       Then download and apply the latest Combo Update
       for your OS.  The latest SL Combo Update at present is here:
         http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    • Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart
       that completes the Combo update.

  • Safari will not work after Snow Leopard Install

    Safari does not work. It opens briefly, then closes. I get a message to "click reopen to open application again," but the same thing happens. Please advise.

    Janice,
    Quit Safari if it's open.
    Locate this file. com.apple.safari.plist
    /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
    Launch Safari. If it launches without crashing, then that .plist file is corrupted. Drag it to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.
    If Safari still crashes...
    Go to ~/Library/Caches/Safari and delete all the sub-folders within that one.
    Go to /Users/YourName/Library/Safari and delete Home/Library/Safari and delete any of these files you have there:
    Downloads.plist
    History.plist
    LastSession.plist

  • IMPORTANT GUIDE FOR ANYONE WITH AN HP DEVICE NOT WORKING AFTER SNOW LEOPARD

    To anyone with an HP printer/scanner device,
    After being frustrated with my HP Photosmart C4580 not being able to scan for over an hour (scouring the forums, HP's website etc), I've come to realize my problem. Note that this has only been tested on a device that is plugged in DIRECTLY to your mac. I have not tried this over the network and do not plan to since my house is not set up for that.
    Anyone who is having any issues with their device, UNINSTALL the HP software. The software is simply incompatible with SL and will mess up your devices! HP even says so on their website (see link below)!
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01846935&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en &product=1153481
    This is easily done by going to your applications folder > Hewlett Packard > HP Uninstaller. After using the uninstaller to uninstall HP's apps from your computer unplug your scanner from your computer and power supply. Now to make sure there are NO printers registered with your computer that could possibly mess up the fresh driver install, go to System Preferences > Print & Fax. Right click anywhere in the left pane (where any printers you have/had installed will be located) and click "Reset Printing System". This will wipe out any traces of a printer so you can start a-new.
    Now, restart your computer. After it is restarted, plug your printer into the power source, then when it is fully booted up you may plug it into your USB slot. Then, go to System Preferences > Print & Fax. Click on the "+" (which will give you the interface to add your printer), select your printer (which you should note will say "USB Multifunction" instead of "USB" which is what showed up with the HP software still installed), and click "add". Your mac will do the rest (installing the drivers and such) and you should be able to print & scan as usual.
    Note that you will need to scan using Preview, Image Capture, or your Printer Queue due to the changes with Snow Leopard (see the HP link above to learn how to use these). Your device should now properly show up when you use these applications to try and scan now.

    @lakewood - there is nothing specifically in Software Update if you upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard. For me anyway..seems like thats the case for everyone though.
    @ruger - so it won't even let you hit the '+'? For me, I had to hit the '+' to get it to install which in turn automatically downloaded the proper software/drivers for my device. if i were you, i'd see if i could get that to happen and hit '+' to install it. also - make sure you don't have any of the HP software on your computer also (use the uninstaller provided!)..that was really what did the trick for my machine. HP has come out and specifically said to not use the device manager, but that didn't quite do it for me. i had to uninstall everything that came on that CD (its all located in applications > Hewlett-Packard and, like i said, can be uninstalled easily using the provided uninstaller).
    if all else fails, what i've also heard helps is just to reinstall snow leopard. that'll make sure everything is fresh. i'd delete all your printers like i outlined in my first post first THEN reinstalling it if you wish to go that route. however, it really does sound like the driver is messed up if its pausing and works fine with time capsule. idk how old the printer is, but sometimes with older models, the support blows. i apologize if none of this helps whatever the reason for your troubles may be, though.
    Good luck,
    -Mike S
    PS: printers are always terrible to upgrade on everyone's end. consumers, operating systems, and manufacturers. it stinks that nothing can be generic and run similarly anymore =/

  • DVD Drives not working after Snow Leopard install

    Hello all. I'm having problems after installing Snow Leopard. Om my MacBook Pro, my DVD drive doesn't even read discs anymore. It keeps it spinning for a while and then ejects it.
    Coincidentally, the drive on my iMac 3+ GHZ is not accepting my discs into the DVD drive. It's not sucking in the discs anymore.
    Both of these things started happening right after the Snow Leopard installation.
    Can anyone help?

    Have been running without trouble and had total ability to burn disc images to DVD until SL installation. after installation, every burn attempt fails to complete, give me an unrecoverabl, unable to restart error. I does burn data to the disc, but fails at some point near the end of the burn wich renders the disc a "coaster". I put my spare HDD back in wich was running 10.5, the problem exists with that drive also. My next step was to load a fresh drive with 10.5, even then the problem exists. I find it hard to believe that the drive failed exactly when SL was installed, more likely that the installation changed a hardware setting, or installed a firmware update which cause the problem. As I am a repair tech, I have done a ton of reaserch on the subject, and I find that litterally 10's of thousands of people have had the same issue after the SL upgrade. Come on Apple, I always heard you were better than Microsoft, but as everyone can see there is a problem. Get working on the fix and patch it just like Microsoft.
