ARD Agent not running on Snow Leopard

Hi. One of my servers which usually I could connect to remotely by ARD has stopped responding to ARD or VNC. it just shows up as an IP Address in the ARD Admin. I looked at processes on the server and ARDAGENT is not running. Tried reinstalling ARD client, removing ARD preferences files. Cant seem to sort it. Its a working server so cant just reinstall system on it.

We experienced the same issue on an XServe after upgrading to 10.6.6 form 10.6.5. Weeks of searching the Internet turned up nothing, except other users experiencing the same problem. Finally got it working again by doing the following:
1) Turn off Remote Management in System Preferences
2) Remove /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent
3) Re-Install Remote Desktop Client from the Apple Installer here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1350
4) Enable Remote Management in System Preferences
5) Reboot
Step 5 probably is not required, but I wanted to make sure the service would run without intervention. I had some success before with running ARDAgent from the command line over ssh to get Remote Desktop working, but it really wasn't a good solution.
Good luck, hope this helps.

Automator (version 2.04) will not run in snow leopard. Upgrade how?

Hi all -
I upgraded to Snow Leopard and find it wonderful. The only trouble I have is using Automator. The version I have is 2.04 and when I launch it, it gives me the following message:
"You can't run this version of the application Automator with this version of Mac OS X. You have Automator 2.0.4." My visits to Apple download site has been unsuccessful.
I did download an "Automator Extension Pack" from the Apple site for Leopard and that runs but it does not give me the function I need.
I want to stop and start an application on a schedule. Should be a simple task. Maybe someone can help me with that problem instead? I assume Automator is part of the solution.
Thanks for your attention. I am running 10.6.2 OS X.

The new version of Automator (2.1) should have been installed with the Snow Leopard update. It's normal location is in the /Applications folder, so if you had moved the earlier version to some other location or installed onto a different partition, make sure you are running the right copy.

I can not wake the Lion and can not see the Snow Leopard

Hello,
I have a (White) 2007 MacBook, with a new 640 GB HD.
It has 2 partitions: a 40 GB running Snow Leopard ( I am a teacher and have no time - and desire - to substitute my AppleWorks DBs until this year ends) and a 600 GB running Lion.
I have an AIM mail account but I can´t use Mail, because I never know if the message was sended or not; AOL said that my configurations are right and that the problem is with their servers, but they not returned the solution.
So, yesterday I was answering an e-mail message in my journaling application, using Journler 2.6 for Lion. I copied an word from the message I got and pasted in my reply. I highlighted the word to change the font to Georgia.
Then, something strange happened: the word Georgia became attached to that arrow that I use to click to activate anything. Nothing was responding. I had to Force Quit the Journler.app and all the other apps that were in the background. Even the OS.
1) When I started the MacBook again, obviously came the last partition used: Lion. It showed the 2 accounts for that partition, i.e. the Administrator account and mine. I clicked on mine and nothing happened, I tried the Administrator account and nothing happened.
2) I inserted the disc I burned with the Lion OS, holding the C key: the MacBook rejected; I inserted the disc of Snow Leopard that I bought from Apple: it was rejected either.
3) I tried to access the MacBook through a Cube running Tiger. I saw both partitions but I could not do what I intended to, that is, change the startup disk to Snow Leopard.
4) I returned to the MacBook and I got a surprise: I could log in my account. But I only could see the apps in the dock, I was unable to open any of them.
5) I tried several other times yesterday and today with no success.
Of course that I want my Lion back; but now the more important to me is to get my MacBook running my Snow Leopard account. I register all the data of my students - presences, absences and grades - directly on an AppleWorks DB file.
So, the big question is: how do I change the startup disk to Snow Leopard?.
My resources are: 1 iMac 800 MHz running Tiger; 1 Cube 450 MHz running Tiger; 1 FireWire cable (to access the MacBook in the Target Mode, which I will try next); 1 iPhone 3G and a never used 8 GB pen drive. There is a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard, that is not at home now but eventually could come today, I am not counting on this. It was bought in september of 2009 and I am not sure if it has a FireWire port.
I thank you for any help.
Best regards,

I am using mobilme now, it's working good.
No doubt Icloud is better and a mindless method.
My only problem is that I won't be able to use Icloud with mine 2 computers.
1 is update with Lion, the onther one is with SL, cause it's a CORE DUAL (no update possible!).
So that's my problem, buying a new one or never be able to synchronize after june 2012.....

My app will no longer run under Snow Leopard, runs fine under Lion.

My app will no longer run under Snow Leopard, even though it was originally written for Snow Leopard. It runs fine on my Dev machine under Lion. But when I test it on my Snow Leopard Mac Mini the app starts but the window does not appear. Going to file, new window does nothing. My depolyment target is set to 10.6. Is there something I did to make my app lose Snow Leopard compatiblty?

Does your application use features only available in Lion? Are you getting any console logs?

My iMac will not boot through Snow Leopard but will boot through Windows OS

My 2010 iMac will not boot in Snow Leopard, only Windows. Have tried reinstalling Snow leopard a few times and works only for a couple of minutes before freezing and doesnt reboot. Windows works perfect. Snow leopard just doesnt want to boot up past the Apple Logo. It was working fine one day and the next day it froze up and was able to reboot back into Snow Leopard but kept freezing. Now it doesnt load at all into Mac OS.

Possible scenarios:
1: The 10.6.3 SL retail disk is bad, it happens.
2: Your not using the 10.6.3 SL retail disk but one from another machine which doesn't have the drivers for that machine.
3: Your optical drive is funky or some other hardware issues.
4: Your trying to install 10.6 onto a PowerPC based Mac, no can do.
5: Your not using a wired keyboard for boot key commands, have some other hardware conflicts.
Possible solutions.
1: Copy the SL 10.6.3 disk using Disk Utility to another DVD, the error checking may resolve the original disk's issue.
http://www.brokenhomeboy.co.uk/pierow/blog/2011/10/make-a-bootable-backup-snow-l eopard-install-disc/
2: Make a SL bootable USB
http://www.maciverse.com/install-os-x-snow-leopard-from-usb-flash-drive.html
3: Call Apple for a new 10.6.3 disk (and make copies for backup before Apple discontinues selling it)
If your upgrading to 10.6 to get to 10.6.8 to upgrade to 10.7, be warned of this:
1: Your 10.5 software will not work in 10.7, no more Rosetta or PPC based code.
2: Your hardware will not qualify if it's a 32 bit Intel Core Duo, also you may experience slowdowns in performance over 10.6 (10.6 is the fastest OS X version for Intel Macs) in older Intel hardware (I suggest Early 2011 Mac's and later only for Lion)
3: Mountain Lion 10.8 is reportingly coming out this summer and will not run on a lot of older Intel based Mac's because of heftier graphics requirements.
4: 10.6 has the widest range of current avaialble software and drivers for third party hardware.
My advice, stick with 10.6.8 and stay there, buy a new Mountain Lion machine after this summer. Skip Lion completely.

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.

HT1689 What do you do if your computer is not upgradeable to snow leopard using Iphone 5

What do you do if your computer is not upgradeable to snow leopard using Iphone 5,
just purchased my new iphone 5 64gb- but does me no good if I cant back up pictures or add my music frm my computer even using icloud. How can I do the things I was able to do with the Iphone 4 now that the 5 will not be recognized at all by my Mac without shelling out thousands of dollar to buy an intel runnung computer just because the Apple software department cannot plug in backwards compatibility to new products such as the iP 5! My computer runs perfectly what am I going to do with two computers if I were to buya new one.
any one having the same stupid issue here or am I the only one frustrated with apple making new products and making people have to purchase, upgrade, pay for icloud storage when their home computers are completely capable of doing that which is the reason they bought them in the first place.

So just called apple for the second time about this issue. First time the tech i got on the phone i think was clue less about the problem. She recommended i buy a cd to upgrade my system and that would fix the problem and my os would be functional with iP5 , iTunes etc...
So i gave her my computer serial and required info so she could look up my system and make sure it would work. I was sold a cd convinced it would work after all apple care techs should know what they are doing right!?
Got the cd in the mail pop it in and nothing, error window saying need intel processor to install this cd contents ***! Yea thats what said today after the second call to apple. I did get another hint of hope from the tech i got on the phone today tho. He really seemed to know his stuff.., so now i fond out apple can replace your processor on certain model computers FOR FREE just pay the parts and you are ready togo with snow leopard and " anything apple throws at your computer" . Going to try this also and will post results soon for all you that may have some hope left...

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?

Pages 4.2 update doesn't run with Snow Leopard

I keep both Montain Lion and Snow Leopard on the same computer, different partitions. After upgrading Pages this week, it no longer runs under Snow Leopard. The icon changes and a launch message says I can't use this version with Snow Leopard. It looks like this is true of all the iWorks apps. This is the first time I recall the iWorks suite not being backwards compatible.
My advice is to keep a backup copy or older iWorks releases if you need to run Snow Leopard. The App store only has the Mountain Lion version so I can't just download the SnowLeopard compatible version.

The same exact thing happened to me. I have a thread on this same issue but no one has responded. Did you find a way around this?

Tried to run a CD I had run with Snow Leopard. Now (with Lion) getting a message that PowerPC applications are no longer supported.. How do I overcome this? Thanks

Well Lion does not support power PC applications. They only way is to upgrade the application, or if your have SL disks, reinstall SL.

MacPro 3.1 will not upgrade to Snow Leopard

Hi. I have a MacPro 3.1 with 2 x 3.2 GHz Quad Core Intel Xenon Processors, 6 GB of Ram. The computer is a standard Apple Unit.
I cannot get it to install Snow Leopard. Info elsewhere on this site suggests it should run under Snow Leopard. I have put the system back to Factory state with a clean install of 10.5. It still will not accept the Snow Leopard.
I suspect the problem may be me trying to use installer disks recently supplied with my new MacBook Pro 13", 2.53 GHz. Can anyone confirm this issue. If I buy another copy of Snow Leopard, that is not apparently Machine specific, will it install?

Yes, the disks are your problem. All you need to erase and install Snow on you MP is the $29.00 Snow upgrade disk. You do not need to ever had have Leopard installed.

FYI: New version of Disk Warrior seems to hang when run with Snow Leopard

FYI: It seems that the new version of Disk Warrior hangs when run in Snow Leopard

I have been using DW 4.2 on 10.5.8 and the speed-up was the first thing I noted, too, so it isn't just SL.
Now if it would only 'come up for air' and respond to input to move window (so I can put it where I can see it if needed) I'd like that.
There is a 23 page review of Snow Leopard on Ars. On page 22:
People sometimes ask what, exactly, is wrong with HFS+.
Aside from its obvious lack of the features just listed, HFS+ is limited in many ways by its dated design, which is based on HFS, *a twenty-five year-old file system.*
To give just one example, the centrally located Catalog File, which must be updated for each change to the file system's structure, is a frequent and inevitable source of contention. Modern file systems usually spread their metadata around, both for robustness (multiple copies are often kept in separate locations on the disk) and to allow for better concurrency.
Practically speaking, think about those times when you run Disk Utility on an HFS+ volume and it finds (and hopefully repairs) a bunch of errors. *That's bad, okay?* +*That's something that should not happen*+ with a modern, thoroughly checksummed, always-consistent-on-disk file system unless there are hardware problems (and a ZFS storage pool can actually deal with that as well). And yet it happens all the time with HFS+ disks in Mac OS X when various bits of metadata to get corrupted or become out of date.
Apple gets by year after year, tacking new features onto HFS+ with duct tape and a prayer, but at a certain point there simply has to be a successor—whether it's ZFS, a home-grown Apple file system, or something else entirely. My fingers are crossed for Mac OS X 10.7.
If Disk Utility was reliable in mapping out weak sectors (it is not) and report/log errors. But it doesn't and I trust my data to other file systems when possible. We've come to expect and depend on 3rd party utilities and that Apple First Aid doesn't fix every possible error.
Scanning one drive for errors can take a long time. Maybe it needs to be done, maybe in the background. With 2TB drives it gets worse. Spending hours to scan for errors??? I've set TechTool Pro to concurrently scan anywhere from one to a dozen volumes at once.
An ounce of prevention, as they say, is worth a pound of cure.

Re: New Garage Band - I have Mac OS X 10.6.8, Snow Leopard, and Garage Band 11. If I download/install the new GB, will I lose GB 11? And will it run on Snow Leopard?

Re: New Garage Band - I have Mac OS X 10.6.8, Snow Leopard, and Garage Band 11. If I download/install the new GB, will I lose GB 11? And will it run on Snow Leopard?

then had to find out (same as with this issue) that I presently have other software that will not run on Maverics.
You could create a clone of your drive with all your current software, so you could continue to work with your Snowleopard software by booting from the clone, and upgrade your main system to Mavericks, if your computer supports Mavericks. This way, you could have both, if the new features of Mavericks are interesting to you - e.g-, iCloud syncing of multiple Macs, new sharing features, and for GarageBand automatic drummers and arpeggiators.

Will iPhoto 9.3 run on Snow Leopard 10.6.8?

Will iPhoto 9.3 run on Snow Leopard 10.6.8? The App store on one of my 2 computers (both with iPhoto v.9.2.3 and both running 10.6.8) says an iPhoto update (9.3) is available, but when I check at the App store it says the min. requirement is 10.7.4. On my MacBook Pro offering the App store update, I bought iPhoto 11 originally from the App store. On my iMac, which is newer, iPhoto 11 (which is version 9) came with the computer and I have always got iPhoto updates through Software Update, but Software Update is not offering me an iPhoto update on that computer. So I am thinking that the App store notice on the MacBook Pro may not be accurate.

No -- it requires the latest version of Lion - 10.7.4 as the App store tells you

HT3964 My MacBook Air running on Snow Leopard gets extremely slow (almost like a hang, except if you wait about half an hr, it actually moves) after login interface. sometimes it never gets past the background. Cannot log back in.

My MacBook Air running on Snow Leopard gets extremely slow (almost like a hang, except if you wait about half an hr, it actually moves) after login interface. Sometimes it never gets past the background of the homepage, desktop doesn't seem to load. After multiple forced shut downs and left to run for hours, sometimes the desktop loads but the dock does not respond when applications are opened. The computer is then unable to shut down normally. Forced shut downs are necessary most times. Time machine backup takes extremely long, and attempts to use the time machine to bring the laptop back to the time befiore the problem arose was met with extremely slow and hung time machine function.
Please help!

There isn't much besides a failing hard drive or other hardware fault that can cause those symptoms. Run the Apple Hardware Test, or just take it to an Apple Store for testing.
