App Store Pages no longer works on Snow Leopard after upgrade

I bought Pages (and Numbers and Keynote) from the App Store last summer. I have been using it on Snow Leopard (10.6.8) with no problems up until a few weeks ago. Since then I must have told the App Store application to update all applications with updates (though I don't particularly remember doing that), and now when I attempt to open Pages I get a dialog box saying "You can't use this version of the application Pages.app with this version of Mac OS X. You have Mac OS X 10.6.8. The application requires Mac OS X 10.7.4". This is outrageous. How can a routine update of a App Store app stop it from working without any kind of warning? How do I revert to a version that will work on Snow Leopard? Don't just tell me that Pages isn't supported on Snow Leopard, because the version I bought last summer has been working just fine. Am I supposed to Google through pages and pages of information looking for warnings before I upgrade each application before updating? (I also own Aperture.) And what if I make a mistake and accidentally upgrade to a version that no longer works?

Which version of Pages 09 do you have? You don't need higher version than 4.0.4 on Snow Leopatd. Here you can download the iWork 9.0.4 update.

My XP printer no longer works with snow leopard over the network

My XP networked printer (Samsung 4200) no longer works with snow leopard after Mac update. Printer hooked up to XP and can access it through network.
When I print it requests that I to authenticate the printer with a user name and password but it's not password protected. I don't have a password, but I tried all the usuals anyways.
It worked fine a couple days ago, and I've tried everything since. I've reset my printers, turned off both computers. Plugged the printer directly into the Mac - didn't work at first but downloaded a new driver Splix - 2 (Samsung doesn't make an OS X driver for this printer) and got it working. Reinstalled Bonjour on the PC, which can't even see a printer now. Any help would be hugely appreciated.
THanks in advance.

Connecting from a Mac to Windows is password protected. If you tried to connect to a shared folder on Windows you would also be prompted to enter your Windows credentials. So when you do print next time, enter your Windows user details and password. If XP has no password then set one - it is bad practise to have a Windows computer without a password. And updates to Mac OS X expect you to have one set in the Windows computer.
If for some reason you don't want to set a password in XP then enable the Guest account and you can use this on the Mac when you get the prompt (either select Guest or type it in).

Command, Control, and Option keys no longer works with Citrix Receiver after upgrading to OSX 10.9.5

At first my keyboard did not work with Citrix Receiver after upgrading to OSX 10.9.5 and I found the workaround by using "cmd + tab," however, once my keyboard work within Citrix, the "command, control, and option" keys no longer work. Does anyone have a remedy for this?

Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. 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 then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is
three times faster than wireless.

App Store updates no longer works over Bluetooth on iTunes 11

Up throught iTunes 10.7 I could open the App Store on my iPad and select the updates tab and just click update all, to download all the available updates, and a blue bar would grow across the bottom of the app icons as the update download and would say Installing off to the side and then switch to Open once the application was updated. That was GREAT!!!
Now with iTunes 11 and it's horrible interface when I try to update over bluetooth, and click Update all... no blue updating bars and I get a popup that says, "Cannot Connect to iTunes Store" with an "Ok" button.
Somehow I found that it would download them when I plugged my USB into my Mac Pro.
Apple, I hope you are reading this... PLEASE fix iTunes so I can download over Bluetooth, and yes my iPad is Connect to my Mac Pro

IOS 5 download/app store password no longer works

I downloaded iOS 5 and now my password won't work in the app store when I try to update my apps. But the password works when I log out and in again on the phone and in iTunes on my computer. The only time it stops working is when the app store asks me to use it. I reset it a couple times and made sure when I signed in via iPhone and computer that all the info is the same. What is going on? I see this until I got prompted to reset my password:

Just migrated to my new 4s phone and after sync'ing the App Store is rejecting my password same as you.
I've logged out on my iTunes on my computer and on my phone, logged back in and resynced. No luck.

No longer works with Snow Leopard?

I just bought Keynote a little over two weeks ago, which I am running on my Snow Leopard-equipped iMac. I planned on buying Pages today, but due to the update, it now requires Lion.
I can understand that a bleeding-edge application might be restricted to 10.7, but it seems a bit ridiculous that such a basic utilitarian program would only be allowed to work on the very most recent OS.
Is there any way of getting the previous version at all?

I am also facing this situation with a 2007 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac Mini that is running OS 10.7.4 Lion, which is not upgradable to Mountain Lion because it requires 64 bit processsing, while the Mini is limited to 32 bit. Why is Pages suddenly crippled? I've never seen anything like this. Somehow, Pages was upgraded to 4.2 and now it no longer runs even though I have upgraded to your last latest OS before Mountain Lion. What gives, Apple? I've spent thousands on your products over the years, from an Apple IIgs, IIci, Mac 6100, 7100, iMac, and on through my two iPad and five iPhones. We customers deserve an explanation, not the silent treatment. Fix this.

I am using Leopard but need Mountain Lion for the Mac App Store. How do I get Snow Leopard to be able to upgrade to Mountain Lion?

I am currently using Leopard but need Snow Leopard to be able to get Mountain Lion. I can see this is no longer available from Apple. How would I get it so I could then get Mountain Lion. I want the Logic 9 Mac App Store App as I don't want to have to buy the whole Logc 9 from Studio 8.
Some help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Adam

Upgrading to Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
If you need to purchase Snow Leopard contact Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The price is $29.00 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
Snow Leopard from eBay
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
If you need to purchase Lion contact Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download.
Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)

Can't load Lion because I don't have app store (and yes, I do have snow leopard fully updated)

I was running Lion and everything was fine. Then, the hard drive on my iMac died and I just had a new one installed. After that, I loaded snow leopard and then did a restore of all my files from time machine (I later found out that i should have just done a full restore from time machine and i didnt need to first install an operating system). All of the apps that were updated through Lion dont work, including App Store, Safari, etc. -- they say: "You have Mac OS X 10.6.8. The application requires Mac OS X 10.7 or later." The problem is that the only way to upgrade to Lion is through the App Store, but everything i tried, including Software Update (which says I'm fully updated) doesnt work. I even deleted the Lion version of the App Store so i could try reinstalling the snow leopard version and that didnt work. I also thought about eerasing the whole machine and doing a full restore but now for some reason all of my old backups are gone.

I understand the problem elifromnewyork is explaining. Unfortunately, I have a similar problem. Hard drive crashed>repaired it>restored with time machine backup>several apps are "circle slash" using my newly upgraded OSX 10.6.8. These apps include v1.2.2 App Store, v9.0.9 iMovie, v2.0 FaceTime, v7.1 Contacts, v6.0 Calendar, v1.0 Game Center, v1.0 Launchpad and a few others. iTunes v11.1.3 does not have the "circle slash", but it will not launch. I've tried:
1. Erasing the drive and loading from the Snow Leopard disk and doing a software update.
2. Erasing the drive and loading Snow Leopard, then doing a time machine restore, then a software update.
I have a full version of Drive Genius and have hammered the drive with every Drive Genius repair tool. Each repair says nothing is wrong or the action was concluded successfully. All I can come up with is that the time machine back up is somehow incomplete, or I have a setting turned off somewhere that is affecting a proper restore/upgrade.

App Store will not install anything on Snow Leopard

I just fixed (replaced HD) a Mac Book Pro 2010 with 8GB of ram. I install Snow Leopard in it and updated everything. Now I can't install anything using App Store. First, I wanted to upgraded to Yosemite, but clicking on the Download anything was not doing anything.
Then I tried to install anything else. Nothing works. Basically, App Store is useless here.
I opened Console and I see this error every time I click any install or download button:
12/15/14 10:03:09 AM
App Store[260]
ERROR: ITSExceptionHandler: {message:"TypeError: 'undefined' is not a function", url:"unknown (might be html-embedded script?)", lineNumber:"unknown"}
I suspect the App Store is using some embedded JS code that is not compatible with the old version of Safari used in Snow Leopard.
Can anyone provide any help with this?

I completely agree that torrents are a perfect place to inject nefarious bits of code and I meant only to highlight the extremes that I needed to go to in order to workaround this bug. As for the illegal part, I already own the software and was unable to access it from the app store as a result of Apple's failure to put safeguards in place concerning compatibility issues (even if SL is a dead OS). Were apple to provide any of the following things I would not have needed to resort to torrent files:
1. Provide hard copies of OSX (not just dead ones)
2. Provide DL links when purchasing OSX (not just app store codes)
3. Provide support (just to chat with a representative costs $30)
In the end I am confident that there are no "extra" bits of code but required a lot of extra work. I used the copy of mavericks only to download the installer for Yosemite from the now working App Store which I then produced a bootable USB drive from. Then I did a clean install of OSX Yosemite (erased and installed on HD). After that I booted to recovery mode and once again erased my HD and installed Yosemite from the now present recovery partition.

Network Accounts used on Lion computers no longer work with Snow Leopard computers.

I am having issues with my network users who have once used a computer with Lion on it joined to the network then going to use a Snow Leopard workstation and Google Chrome and Safari crash randomly either at the first 30 seconds or typing a space or backspace character.

I am also facing this situation with a 2007 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac Mini that is running OS 10.7.4 Lion, which is not upgradable to Mountain Lion because it requires 64 bit processsing, while the Mini is limited to 32 bit.

QuicktimeMPEG2 plug-in no longer working with Snow Leopard

I have been using the QuicktimeMPEG2 plug-in for many years. However upon my finally upgrading to Snow Leopard earlier this year I've lost that functionality. The Quicktime Player no longer recognises the plug-in although I dutifully kept a copy of the QuicktimeMPEG2.component file from the Leopard installation, and reinstalled this into the 'system/library/Quicktime' folder.
I've also tried re-installing it from the original purchased DMG container but the installer produces an error indicating "A newer version of this software already exists on this disk.". This latter exercise undertaken after I had removed the manually installed QuicktimeMPEG2.component file.
The version title of the plug-in file I have is:
"QuickTimeMPEG2.qtx 6.4 Copyright Apple Computer, Inc. 1989-2003"
Though I note the file 'kind' is titled "Component (PowerPC)".
Can anyone advise what might the cause of my problem?

Seems to me that there was an issue like this when Apple came out with the new QuickTime Player v10 which is in your Applications folder and the default quicktime player program on your system.
There might be another version - Quicktime Player 7 in your Applications/Utilities folder for compatibility with older plugins, etc. You could try launching it and see if your plugin works in that version.

NO longer working since Snow Leopard

We have not had our Airport Express very long but it was working fine
Since the Snow Leopard update it is no longer seen by the Airport Utility or by iTunes
This is pointless - why have an Apple device which cannot be found by an Apple computer?
Does anyone know how I can fix it?
(I have searched for the AEx and unplugged it all with NO SUCCESS)

This is happening to me as well, Keith.
Airport Utility can not discover the Airport Express. I've reinstalled AU, as well as pulling the Airport Express from power and plugging it back in. I have not "reset" it yet, as I'm hoping there is a solution without having to lose all my Wifi settings.
Anyone got an answer?

Drag and Drop export of vcards to Mail no longer works in Snow Leopard

In 10.5, you could drag a vcard from the Address Book application, drop it on the Mail icon on the dock, and the vcard would be automatically attached to a new mail message. This no longer works in 10.6. Tested on a G4 iMac running Leopard and a Mac Pro on Snow Leopard. Kind of a bummer, as I used to send new contacts to business partners all the time this way.

There have been other reports of drag and drop to the icon not working like it did/should.
I imagine rewriting it for Docksposé caused a lot of code changes. Hopefully, they will fix the things that have fallen through the cracks.
I forgot to mention the only workaround I can find is to create the new message first, and then use Docksposé to drop the vCards onto the new message.
