Aliases will not resolve after 10.6.8 upgrade

I just upgraded to 10.6.8 on my power mac and now my desktop aliases will not resolve. Any ideas how to fix this?

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.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

White iMac will not boot after 10.6.8 upgrade

I downloaded the 10.6.8 upgrade last night. This morning, the white plastic iMac will not boot.
I have tried evey known keyboard option.
I have tried booting from the snow leopard dvd.
I have zapped the pram.
Nothing!
Please, any help would be great.

We bought 2 iMac's 27inch with i7 Quad-core. Did the update a couple of hours ago. My Mac asked to reboot after update, but i didn't accept and worked with iTunes for a while. Then rebooted manually. After reboot it took about 15 minutes to reboot (light-blue screen with nothing on it, not even a mouse). My Wife also did the update of 10.6.8 and rebooted when asked. Her iMac also took 15 minutes to reboot, bus update was unsuccesful! So did update again and then denied reboot and rebooted manually! (Apple-logo and then choose "restart").
When we did that, iMac was very fast and updateproblem was solved! So deny reboot and reboot manually and problems are over. Same deal with 2 brandnew iMac. I'm guessing this is an issue. To much of a coincidence for me!

Machine will not sleep after 10.4.8 upgrade

I went from 10.3.9 to 10.4.8 without any problems on the install. Now, my machine will not sleep. I'm running dual monitors, the 2nd monitor will sleep and then wake up almost immediately, the main monitor will not sleep at all.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Nevermind, I figured it out

Audio will not work after a Windows 7 upgrade.

Hello
I have recently Installed Windows 7 to my Lenovo 3000 N100 Type- 0768, 6XG. Everything works perfectly accept for the sound. I have tried to install different audio drivers to see if anything works. I have also been on other forums to see if this is a common problem. It seems that some people get their sound working and others don't.
Does anyone know what sound driver I should be using?
Could there be another problem which I don't see?
Is the best bet for me to restore my computer to factory settings!?
Please help me.
Thanks
Luke

have you tried to install drivers manually?
after you locate the .inf file for the driver that you want to install, manually install the new driver. to do this, follow these steps:
- click start, right-click computer, and then click properties.in the tasks pane, click device manager.
- if you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or click continue.
- in device manager, locate the device for which you want to install the driver.
note to display hidden devices, click show hidden devices on the view menu.
- right-click the device, and then click update driver software.
- click browse my computer for driver software, click let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer, and then click have disk.
- in the install from disk dialog box, click browse, locate an .inf file for the device driver that you want to install, and then click open.
- follow the steps in the update driver software devicename dialog box to update the driver

Adobe CC apps will not open after Suitcase Fusion 6 upgrade.

It appears that, after installing the recent Suitcase Fusion 6 upgrade (WIN7-64-bit) most of my Adobe CC apps won't open?!

CS2 seems to conflict with CS6. One user found this to work. AppData is a hidden folder in case you try this.
I finally got it to launch via instructions from another web page. In my case, I am running Win 7 Professional 64-bit and previously loaded Photoshop and Bridge versions CS2 (along with Illustrator and InDesign CS2), which might have been part of the problem. The solution for me was to create an empty "Bridge CS2" folder in the C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\. Worked like a charm.
You might have to use the Adobe Script Cleaner to get rid of traces of the CR2 files.

Iphoto will not launch after lion and iPhoto upgrade

"your iPhoto library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable
Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup.
This is the message i get after paying apple3 0 dollars for the lion upgrade and 14.99 iphoto upgrade. Can you now help fix?? you have my money. Now give me back my computer

Do as the instructions tell you.
Hold down the Option and Command keys and launch iPhoto at the same time.
You'll see a dialog box open.
Select: Repair Database
Or, restore from a backup.
FYI, Apple's policy states that, "all sales are final" > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS

My iphoto will not work after downloading iphoto library upgrader.

I have a new macbook and just tried to use iphoto and it told me I had to download the iphoto library upgrader or quit. I downloaded it but still can not open iphoto.

You have to download and RUN the iPhoto library upgrader - if and only if your old version of iPhoto is iPhoto '08 (version 7.x.x or earlier) - and as always backup your iPhoto library prior to any update or upgrade in case of problems

Hello KCC4ME,
You may try booting your Mac in Safe Boot, as it can resolve many issues that may prevent a successful login.

Issues not resolved after updating to latest SP BO 4.0

Issues not resolved after updates to latest SP
We initially installed BO 4.0 with SP4 FP3. After that updated the installation to SP6, SP7, SP8, SP9 and SP9 patch3. We skipped SP5 as it had no issues effecting the way we work.
Now we discovered that most of the important issues for development like being able to modify merged dimensions by adding a dimension are not resolved, despite the updates which would have fixed the issue.
Any ideas?
Is it possible to install SP5 afterwards and then update again to the new SP10?

You don't need to install SP5. Latest SP you have installed, will have all the fixes of SP5.
You cannot install SP5 after installing SP9. There is no need to install aslo.

Will Not Copy After Being Idle

THIS IS A COPYING ISSUE!!! After installing the upgraded version of Comcast's latest modem/router, our HP 6550 would not print. I contacted Comcast and reported the difficulty and they informed me it was a printer problem - not their new modem. Consequently, we purchased a new HP 5740 printer The printing function worked fine and it would copy immediatley after the printer was turned on, however, after the printer sat idle for a couple of hours, the copy function would not work. If you then turned the printer off and immediately turned it back on, it would copy. Again, Comcast reiterated it was a printer problem. I returned the original 5740 back to the store from which it was purchased and exchanged it for another HP 5740 printer. After hooking up the second HP 5740, the same problems with copying occurred. I returned the second HP 5740 to the dealer for a refund and left town for three months. We recently returned and purchased a HP ENVY 7645 printer from another dealer. We are having the same issues with this printer as we had with the two previous HP 5740 printers. I discussed the situation with a level II supervisor at Comcast and he arranged for a new modem/router to be brought to the house and installed by a technician. The installation occurred today and we are still experiencing exactly the same problem. The Comcast technician who installed the new modem/router (who couldn't wait around while the printer sat idle) said that if the problems occurs after the installation, we should purchase a printer/copier from another manufacturer - or turn our printer "off and then on" when we want to copy. He also asid that if this problem does continue after the new modem/router is installed, it definitely won't be a Comcast problem. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHERE I SHOULD GO FROM HERE?

Hi @lamoso,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that your HP Envy 7645 will not copy after being idle. I am happy to look into this for you!
I believe this is happening due to the printer going into sleep mode. As the options are for 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 15 minutes for sleep mode to activate. I would recommend trying a hard reset, by going to this post,How to perform a Hard Reset, by @Rich1. It is important that the printer's power cable is plugged directly into the wall outlet, and not a surge protector. See this article, Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector for more information. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
After the hard reset, I would then make sure the printer's firmware is up-to-date. Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates.
Let's see what happens after giving these two steps a try!
Thank you for posting!

Firefox will not start, after reboot.

For a few months now Firefox will not start after I reboot my computer. In order to get it to start I click the exe then must go into task manager kill it, click the exe again, kill it again then, from there it will typically start, but sometimes it may take one or two more trys. When clicking the exe firefox will appear in the task manager under processes but will will start with ~7% CPU usage, then quickly drop to zero every time until it does actually open and start. I have ran a full system recovery and started anew after reinstalling mozilla several times failed to fix the problem. I run virus and spyware checks often and come up clean, and also run Chrome as a default browser.
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== Around the time 3.5 was released

Hello Tom.
You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.
