Anyone Used FCP 5.1 On Snow Leopard Successfully?

Basically I just want to know whether FCP 5.1 and its associated FCS apps can be installed and run on Snow Leopard.

Yes, so long as you run Software Update and get all patches before trying to launch any of the FCS apps.

Has anyone tried DisKWarrior V4.2 with Snow Leopard V10.6.3? Does it work?

Has anyone tried DisKWarrior V4.2 with Snow Leopard V10.6.3? Does it work?

Well, there is an article on MacWorld saying there were a lot of changes and improvements to Disk Utility.... and those have a way of impacting things.
I got surprised to have trouble after 10.6.3 with SuperDuper on two different systems, that I am still scratching my head over, but had to use Carbon Copy Cloner and RESTORE in Disk Utility for now, would crash (sent report to both) as soon as SD began.
TechTool Pro 5 is another that sometimes needs to take a couple weeks to see if they need an update and validate against the final shipped build.

I'm using a macbook pro, running snow leopard. Yesterday I got around to emptying my trash for the first time in quite awhile and was surprised by how much there seemed to be in there. Immediately after a question mark symbol appeared on all my hard disk folders. If I click on these question marks I get a message saying ' the item can't be found'.

Not sure where these hard disk folders are located that you are referring to? Finder, Finder tool bar, Finder side bar, Desktop, Dock?
More then likely they are an alias that not longer point to the orginals, thus the question mark.
I would reboot. Delete icons if an alias and just recreate by dragging from the source. Try right click (control) click to remove.

Facetime error using OS 10.6.8 (snow leopard) "the server encountered an error processing registration"

I can't seem to manage to get logged into facetime on my MacBook Pro using OS 10.6.8, Snow Leopard. It keeps giving me the error of "the server encountered an error processing registration, please try again later" Well two days later its the same issue, can someone please help!! I see a lot of the fixes on here are for the upgraded operating system, and everyone seems to have had snow leopard work fine...why cant I!!! help the old school op system user PLEASE!! :-)

I've been trying to get an answer to this problem for MONTHS. I upgraded both my iMac and my MacBook Pro to Mountain Lion, and ever since, FaceTime and iMessage stopped working. I got the "Server encountered an error . . ." So, I called Apple "support" and they claimed they haven't heard of this issue. I said I find it hard to believe since it's apparently a huge problem for tons of users and is all over the Apple forums. After spending an hour on the phone with "support", they said they had to pass i on to a senior engineer and they'd call me back within 2 days with an answer. After waiting a week, I decided to go to the place where I should have gone before, the place where all questions can be answered, even those too advanced for Apple, that place . . . YouTube.
Fixing the time issue didn't work for me, nor did any other solution that has been posted on the boards. Yet after watching a 1:24 video on YouTube, both FaceTime and iMessage now work for me.
Here's the solution which WILL work.
You do need to first make sure your date/time settings are correct and set to adjust automatically. But doing just this step will not fix the problem.
Open Finder, click on "Go" at the top menu, then select "Go To Folder"
Type in /etc and hit enter
You'll see a file called "hosts". Drag that file to your desktop.
Right click on that file and open with Text Edit
Select all the text in that file, delete it and replace it with the text below, exactly as it is below. Then save the new hosts file (just exiting will save it). And then drag that new hosts file back into the /etc folder to replace the old one. After that, your FaceTime and iMessage will work, no thanks to Apple.
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost

Is it possible to use emoji with email on snow leopard

Is it possible to use emoji with email on snow leopard?

Probably not, since those are Lion/ML items and SL doesn't have them. That's my WAG.

If a photo is returned to me in a reply does it use additional storage? I am using Mac Book Pro w snow leopard 10.6.8 and an iPhone 4s iOs 5. Yes, eventually I'll free up time to update these. Thanks.

Uh uh, I see!
Also it seems I can use my time machine backup:

together with Migration Assistant. This would work. Thanks
Now I need to figure out the Windows part. I need a full backup of Windows as well, with all the programs. In particular I need to be sure I can maintain the graphic card drivers.
You don't want to know how long took for me to find out how the **** I could update my graphic card drivers in Windows on my Macbook pro. Unfortunately there was a lot of misleading propaganda from Apple about bootcamp, saying that the new intel processor would have worked fine with Windows. Sad that everything was a lie. When installing Windows with bootcamp the graphic card program was unable to find and install the graphic card drivers update . Took me 2 weeks reading through thousands of angry posts of disappointed costumers to find out how to do that. I do not want to reapeat this dreadful experience.
After one year and a half with my Macbook pro I have a system I am TERRIFIED to touch. It is very very fragile, and any little change can destroy everything. It barely works. that's why I am so scared to re-install the OS

Err Can I use icloud with iMac OS snow leopard 10.6.8 ?

This page explains what you can do on Snow Leopard with an existing iCloud account.
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
You cannot create an iCloud account on Snow Leopard.
In addition to SoHo Organizer, Fruux syncs Calendars, Tasks and Contacts between a wide variety of devices (not using the iCloud server) including Snow Leopard and above, Windows Outlook and Thunderbird, Linux Thunderbird, and iOS and Android devices - see their compatibility chart(click the blue 'i' for a caveat about Snow Leopard). It's free for one user, two shares, two devices; above that pricing starts at $20 per month. I haven't tried this.

Printing using a 27" iMac in Snow leopard - is anyone able?

I can't. My HP Deskjet D1520 is not recognized by Snow Leopard. No amount of installing or uninstalling will make it show. HP keeps saying they are working on it.
If there is a cheap printer for just receipt printing that PRINTS IN SNOW LEOPARD on a 27" iMac, please let me know. I only want to print letters and receipts, not for color artwork or production.

My *Epson Artisan 50* works perfectly with Snow Leopard. Drivers are all up to date for Snow Leopard. $85 at B&H PhotoVideo
By the way, HP does have a Snow Leopard driver for your printer --> http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=219&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=e n&product=3568533#

Trouble with FCP since Upgrading to Snow Leopard

I intentionally waited to upgrade to Snow Leopard to assure the bugs were worked out. Everything ran well on Leopard on my MacPro. Once I did the upgrade most everything has worked well. One very strange occurrence has me baffled and I hope someone here may have the answer. When I use the Audio Mixer in the program I notice that once I make an adjustment to a level then release the mouse, the audio plays for a moment then goes silent. Once I click on a slider again or hit the space bar to stop then start the playing of the track again, the audio returns until I adjust the sliders again. Anyone experienced this? Did not do this in Leopard. How might I fix this annoying problem.
Thanks,
Phil Hanna

When upgrading editing systems to new versions of the MacOS, it is always advised to backup your computer, or clone the current working drive, then erase it and install the OS and your applications from scratch. Upgrading the OS around your current working system, about 90% of the time, presents small issues here and there.

Using Purge in 64-bit Snow Leopard

I was originally experiencing problems with my system not releasing inactive memory. On another post, I found that it was possible to simply use the "purge" command and this would take care of the problem. I then booted into 64-bit Snow Leopard, for different reasons, and made an attempt to use "purge" again. However, I received these error messages instead:
$ purge
WARNING: Could not determine processor information.
WARNING: Could not determine memory controller information.
WARNING: Could not determine Operating System information.
I am not so much worried about the memory problem anymore. I have found ways around it. Rather I am more intrigued by the inability to use "purge" after going from 32-bit to 64-bit. If anyone could simply offer me an explanation why this does or if it should, maybe why it doesn't seem to work for me. Thanks in advance.

I just tried to download the developer tools so I could run this simple purge procedure. Am I to understand that I have to pay a subscription fee to not have to restart my computer to clear inactive memory?
First off all the developer tools come with your installation DVDs, so you do not need to download anything.
If you want the latest version of Xcode, then you can get a "Free" ADC account.

Anyone using FCP 7 with the new OSX Mavericks?

Has anyone updated to the new OSX Mavericks and is using FCP 7 without problems? Any plugin malfunctioning?

Nevermind I fixed it. Atleast I think I did, I just set my audio to 24-bit and 9600khz or whatever its called and it sounds clear now. At least I hope that fixed the problem.

Upgrade HDD using Time Machine, but no Snow Leopard DVD, only Leopard installation DVD = kernel error on startup

Hi guys and girls.
Background
I have a MacBook Pro (March 2009 vintage). It was loaded with OS X Leopard on a 250GB HDD. When Snow Leopard was released, I upgraded using a DVD bought from Apple. In time, I added an external USB HDD to use for Time Machine Backups. I am now, however, knocking up against the capacity limit of the original hard drive.
Given the above, plus the fact that I no longer appear to have the Snow Leopard DVD (upgrade version I believe) - what is the recommended way to get back to my old setup (files, OS, settings etc), but with my new, larger HDD?
So far I have tried:
1. Formatting new HDD as Mac OS Extended (journaled), GUID partition having booted using my original (Leopard) installation DVD. I then selected the latest Time Machine (Snow Leopard) backup. After a couple of hours of restoring from that backup, the system restarted, but had kernel errors on bootup.
2. As above, but when formatting, chose to zero all data. This had the same end result.
Questions:
1. Are the kernel errors I'm experiencing due to the mismatch of booting off Leopard and restoring a Snow Leopard backup?
2. Would finding my (or even a) Snow Leopard upgrade DVD help? If so, how?
3. What am I doing wrong generally? I do like to try to understand these things!
4. As above, what is the recommended way of doing what I'm trying to do, given the limitations of release DVDs etc.
Many thanks

Simplest thing would be to buy the retail SL installation disc ($20 USD) and use it to do the migration. There might be an issue trying to use a SL TM version with Leopard.

Using Epson Workforce 40 with Snow Leopard and an AirPort Extreme

Hi. Long night working on this but I figured something out, that might help others out there in the same/similar situation.
I have an Epson Workforce 40, and an AirPort Extreme. I had previously set up the EPWF40 (Epson WorkForce 40) before I had installed Snow Leopard. After installing Snow Leopard, the printer would not work and would not be recognized by my MBP 15". The document would just hang and I would have to force quit the printer or delete the document.
Bullet points on how I made it work:
- the most important thing is to have the printer recognized by the router and have an IP address installed and registered first, then you can install the Epson Mac EasyPrint software and "find" the printer over your wireless network
- Goto:
http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?oid=108743&prodoid=6307 5463&BV_UseBVCookie=yes&infoType=Downloads&platform=Macintosh&x=28&y=3
and download the Epson EasyPrint v3.10 file called: "epson12433.dmg"
- Unfortunately, Epson does not make software to "install" the printer to the router for Snow Leopard
- I re-installed the printer to the router using my wife's HP laptop and the original CD that came with the EPWF40.
- Follow the instructions on the CD for the install for "First Time" setting up the printer.
- After following the original instructions from the CD on her PC, the router assigned a new IP address to the printer, and the printer was "connected" to the router wirelessly
- Then, on my MBP running Snow Leopard, I ran the dmg file downloaded earlier from the Epson website.
- After running, go to the printer/fax preferences, click the "+" sign and add a new printer.
- As long as you are connected wirelessly to the router, under default, your mac should "find" the Epson printer. It is called something like "EPSON5A2EAA". There should be at least one, if not two options.
- One of the options should be "EPSON5A2EAA Bonjour" and the other "EPSON5A2EAA IP". Click on one, install it, and then go back and click on the other and install it (just to be sure).
- You will not be able to use the standalone Epson Apps installed from the DMG, however, the printer preferences for the epson, will be available through the printer preference boxes when you go through the system preferences.
It didn't make any sense at first for me either. Once I understood that:
- you can't install the printer from a Mac to your router
- after the printer is installed and linked with your router, your Mac can find it and use it
...I was able to complete the installation and have a fully functional wireless network printer.
Feel free to drop me a question. I'm just glad I was able to make it work.

Actually, you have.
Rosetta was incorporated into both Tiger and Leopard. But it was invisible, of course. Snow Leopard is the first OS that offers the choice of whether to install it or not.
Any suggestions on how I find the recent article or make my printer work with Snow Leopard?
Don't know about the "recent article", but you can install Rosetta by inserting your Snow Leopard DVD and clicking on the Optional Installs package. When the configuration choice window comes up, just check Rosetta alone and carry on.
Good luck with it!
