Audio Problem (Quicktime) in Snow Leopard

Audio Problem in Snow Leopard
After a install of Snow Leopard over the weekend, I have gotten everything smoothed out except for 1 item.
I can not get Quicktime to install.
I did the additional software instals that came on the DVD with SL.
I now do not have Quicktime and can not get the new one to install.
Here is the error I receive when I try to install it.
"System extension can not be used /system/Library/Extensions/CDSDAudioCaptureSupport.kext was installed impropeerly and can not be used. Please try reinstalling it or contact products vendor for an update.
I have tried to do a complete reinstall of SL and no fix.
I did a verify permissions and a repair permissions.
The results are below. But I do not know what they mean.
I have also included my system info.
Verify permissions for "Macintosh HD"

Thanks for the reply. What I mean is in 10.5, leopard, the page set up and print settings would not keep after printing the first file. Like say I'm in Preview with a .jpg open and I set the print setup to 4x6 borderless, which is a setting my wife uses a lot. If I print the file, which isn't a problem, save the settings for both page set up and printing preferences, close the file and open a different one, the preferences reset to whatever the default is.
I've tried going into System Preferences and tooling with the Printer set up there, but there's no setting for 4x6 borderless that I can select for a default, not in 10.5.x at least.
There were numerous threads in the 10.5 Leopard printing forum concerning this and it was an issue I hope is fixed in 10.6.

  • Will i have problem upgrading from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Maverick ?

    will i have problem upgrading from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Maverick ?

    Impossible to know. But I would make a backup before doing so, just in case. I would also do the following:
    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.
    If you wish to save yourself a lot time should you need to reinstall Mavericks at some point in the future then see the following:
    Make Your Own Mavericks, Mountain/Lion Installer
    After downloading the installer you must first save the Install Mac OS X application. After the installer downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
       2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the leftside list. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list.
    Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
    Make your own Mavericks flash drive installer using the Mavericks tool:
    You can also create a Mavericks flash drive installer via the Terminal. Mavericks has its own built-in installer maker you use via the Terminal:
    You will need a freshly partitioned and formatted USB flash drive with at least 8GBs. Leave the name of the flash drive at the system default, "Untitled." Do not change this name. Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy this entire command line after the prompt in the Terminal's window:
         sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume
         /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
    Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed to the screen so be careful to enter it correctly. Press RETURN, again.
    Wait for the process to complete which will take quite some time. When completed it would be wise to test the installer by checking that it boots the computer and is then ready for installation.

  • My MacBook (10.5.8) is very slow and has significant problems loading will Snow Leopard (10.6.3) help or make my computer slower?

    My MacBook (10.5.8) is very slow and has significant problems loading will Snow Leopard (10.6.3) help or make my computer slower?
    Also why does my Macbook make so much noise (The noise concerns me because it is so loud it sounds like the laptop will break down or something at any point)?

    It depends on your Macbook model how to open the bottom case.
    Anyway you need to open up the buttom case or keyboard panel to access the CPU fan like following.

    If you think you can't do that by yourself, you'd better bring it to Apple Store Genius Bar or Authorized Servce Shop to tell them about the problem.

  • I upgraded to Lion and then all video clips on for instance Youtube freeze every tenth second to buffer more data. I have a MacBook Pro and never had any problems when using Snow Leopard. Ulf Magnusson, Sweden

    I upgraded to Lion and then all video clips on for instance Youtube freeze every tenth second to buffer more data. I have a MacBook Pro and never had any problems when using Snow Leopard. Has Lion problems with this?

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • Quicktime player problems since installing Snow Leopard

    Since installing Snow Leopard my Quicktime plays weird. The are sharp horizontal streaks and glitches where the picture smears (the only way I can describe it). If I restart or shut down and restart, that sometimes resolves the problem, but for only a short while.
    Any suggestions from any of you pro guys out there?

    Hi:
    I'm not a pro, but I think I would download the OS X 10.6.4 combo updater and apply it. Something may have gone wrong with the initial update. Alternatively, I would reinstall OS X 10.6 from the software install DVD and then run software update.

  • Problem with opening .wmv files in QuickTime since Snow Leopard upgrade

    Until upgrading to Snow Leopard any .wmv files would open automatically in QT when double clicked.
    I now get an error message which says "QuickTime Player must be installed to run this application".
    I can open the file by launching QT(pro) and opening it from within the player - kind of a long way round.
    Any suggestions what the fix might be would be gratefully received
    Thanks

  • I have a problem with a snow leopard to mountain lion upgrade. Any suggestions?

    I have a late 2007 I-Mac currently running snow leopard. My computer meets the requirements for RAM, available disk space, etc. to upgrade to Mountain Lion. I also have a new Mac Book Pro that I just updated the Mountain Lion software on. I have followed the steps outlined by Apple as follows.
    To install OS X Lion or Mountain Lion on another Mac, open the Mac App Store, sign in to your account, and re-download the OS by selecting it in the Purchases list. Follow these steps:
    Download Lion or Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store on one of your personal authorized Macs. The download is approximately 4 GB in size.
    Install the OS.
    Log in to another computer that you wish to install it on.
    Open the Mac App Store. Enter your Apple ID and password that was used to download either Lion or Mountain Lion on the first computer.
    Click the Purchased icon, then click the download link for the appropriate OS.
    The problem I continue to have is that the program will act like it's going to download and will say it's downloading then after approximately 10 minutes the App Store no longer says the program is downloading and I again get the green box to "install app".
    I have made sure to update my software and I have the latest updates 10.6.8 for snow leopard. I have also disabled the anti virus program. Any suggestions??

    If you are willing to experiment:
    Unfortunately, the link for getting specific hardware versions has disappeared. So basically:
      1. Get yourself a spare hard drive freshly erased or with a freshly erased partition of
          around 8 GBs or more.
      2. Boot to your Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion from the main menu.
      3. From the beginning screen select your spare partition/drive as the target
          destination then begin the download.
      4. At the end of the download you will observe an Install button for you to click.
          Now this is important - as soon as that gadget appears you must abort the
          installation process. There are only two reliable ways to do this quickly: (a.) yank
          the cable for the drive from the computer; (b.) pull the power on the computer -
          shut it down quickly.
    This will result in your finding a folder on the drive that contains InstallESD.dmg that you can now use to create a bootable USB flash drive installer based on the special build for your model. Use it until the next public release of Lion appears or you move on to Mountain Lion.
    If you do not stop the download process immediately upon its completion you will end up with an installer that always boots to a non-functioning installation progress window instead of the normal main menu.
    Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/
        Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button.
        Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move
        the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You
        must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes
        installing.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
      a. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
      b. After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left
          side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
      c. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one.     
          Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
          partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until
          the process has completed.
      d. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side
          list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      e. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the
          button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
      f. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash
         drive size.
    3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
    4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
      a. Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
      b. Open Disk Utility.
      c. Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
      d. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      e. Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
      f. Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
      g. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
    Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.
    As an alternative to the above you can try using Lion DiskMaker 2.0 that automates the process.

  • Address Book - Problems after installing Snow Leopard

    My Address Book now seems 'buggy'. Despite setting the 'sort by last name' in the preferences, the list will only sort by first names. Companies that were listed under the company name, now are listed as 'no name'.
    Anyone with similar problems or recommendations for solution?

    Of all the applications that could go buggy, this had to be the one, right. It's the one (mail and address book) that I use the most and depend upon the most. fortunately I had backed up my data before upgrading to Snow Leopard. However, Mail and Address book have been so buggy as to not be usable, almost. The address book icon in Mail does not bring up a mirror image of my real address book. And the bugs mentioned here in this thread are actually minor compared to the fiasco I had when first attempting to fix the problems. I had my complete address book duplicated . . . and when I tried to fix that, it went bonkers . . . ended up reinstalling the whole OS again. I sure hope they get this one fixed quickly. Otherwise, I'll have to resort to some other mail program that actually works. I'm very disappointed in this outcome!!!

  • Has anyone found a solution for fixing the dvd reading problems after installing snow leopard?

    I installed snow leopard on my macpro tower and my dvd player will not read dvds. My archived dvd all come up blank but on my laptop their fine. All my other dvds are just spit out. I have seen hundreds of post about this in the forums but I haven't come across a solution. Apple told me they have never come across this issue which is disturbing to say the least.

    Leroydouglas
    Thanks, I did see that thread and way too many others like it. My drive was working fine up to the minute I installed snow leopard and now I can't read all my archived dvds of the last 5 years of my work. Nor will it read the training dvd "New" that I just bought. It also won't even read the iwork disc that came with snow leopard. Of course all these disc work fine on my other make that didn't get the snow leopard upgrade. Apple support told me they never heard of anything like this. I took it to the apple store and they think it the dvd drive itself. Please, it plays cds fine and accepts new dvd media...some. Countless people have had their drives go out right after the snow leopard install.
    I'm sorry but what happens to a dvd player or what hardware problem happens to only allow a player to read a few dvds but all cds. Could someone explain to me what breaks. Apple saying I need to by a new dvd player from them is crazy. Why do I get the feeling that if I install snow leopard on my other machine that the dvd player will also break. How also can apple not have any record of this happening to others.
    I work with windows machines and linux boxes and Macs and I'm sorry I trusted an upgrade to a mac os that has been around for a while. If I would have checked the forums the way I do with anything I work with I guarantee I would not have upgrade to snow leopard after seeing all the people out their with this issue. It is also shameful that apple says it has no knowledge of this problem.

  • ITunes will not sync audio to iPad under Snow Leopard

    When I try to sync audio (music and podcasts) from my MacBook Pro to my new iPad, nothing gets transferred.  They are listed under the iPad heading at the left of iTunes, but have a gray chasing-arrows icon to the left of the names.  (I tried to include an image, but it doesn't work.)
    My contacts and calendar do get copied to the iPad.
    If I boot from a different partition running Lion, with the same home folder, iTunes does sync audio files.  But I'd like to get it running under Snow Leopard.
