Battery Update 1.4 with Snow Leopard
I have updated my OS to Snow Leopard. I tried installing the Battery Update 1.4 but was unable to install the update. My current installed Battery Updater Bundle is 1.2. Thanks.
Kelvin
I solved the problem in this way:
- Install OSX 10.5 into an external HD (10.5 requires about 13Gb).
- Upgrade to the latest 10.5 release didponibile (10.5.8 in my case) because "Battery Update 1.4" requires OsX 10.5.6 or higher.
- Download and run the "Battery Update 1.4" and check that the Pack Lot Code becomes 0003.
- Turn off your Mac and unplug the external HD. The next time you restart, the Macbook should go to boot on the inside HD and the battery's Pack Lot Code should still 0003.
I hope that this workaround, however tedious, might be useful.
bye.

I have recently acquired an update for my mac OX the program being the snow leopard, i have been forever inserting the disk only to have it ejected by my mac, hence, i am unable to update my system with snow leopard, what can i do, as i have just paid out money for something which
Worked like a charm and resolved my problem totally. The only issue I had is that, unlike the Computer (Mac OS). the iPad doesn't give constant visibility to what it is doing (feedback), so I wasn't initially sure it had done anything.
When I opened my emailed message with .vcf file attached, and tapped the .vcf attachment icon, I saw activity on the icon for just a few seconds, then it reverted to the original with nothing apparently happening. After about 30 seconds, the secondary menut popped up indicating the transfer of 1200 addresses would be completed, if I approved the action. Another 10 to 15 seconds then transpired before the completed Contact list appeared on the ipad. So you must be patient, if you have a large Addressbook. That's reasonable,but unexpected lack of feedback left me wondering, like so many other things on the iPad.
THank you for the assist. Apparently Apples Mac Genius people did not know this procedure, and I will pass it on to my local Apple Store Instructor.

HT1338 Software update not working with snow leopard 10.6.8
When I try to update snow leopard 10.8.6 through the Software update, it launches but crashes with the message Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem. Software Update can’t connect to the update server. But I do have internet connection. If I try to update from the terminal with the command " sudo softwareupdate -i -r, it tries to connect but end up with connection timed out. I have never able to update my system with software update utility. Does anybody have any suggestion?
Hi,
This reply may seem late but might as well share my findings.
I have the same problems with the software updater for 10.6.8 as well after trying to move on to Mavericks from
OS X Leopard 10.6.8.
Tried the patch as well the listed files to delete and etc but all failed.
Then I noticed the problem was with the software updater complaining that there was a network problem and even though the dignostics was run the results were no network connection exists but Air Port is connected and there is no issue browsing the web.
I took a look at the Wi-Fi settings and noticed that the default locations were going back to an old Wi-Fi network location I had latched on to 4 years ago! I assumed some screw up with the Wi-Fi network software and thus removed all Wi-Fi network associations and locations and reconfigured the Wi-Fi from scratch for my local home Wi-Fi network. After this the software update worked fine and can now download updates. Note that I did install the update patch by Apple though in my first attempt to resolve the problem.
I would consider the possibility of the Wi-Fi software services within OS X Snow Leopard being a bit "buggy".
Deleting all the non used Wi-Fi network associations and clearing or resetting the default location settings helped revive/resolve the no network connection problem with the software updater.
Now can move on to Mavericks... -
10.0.9 update still crashing with Snow Leopard.
I posted that it looked like my crashing problem with FCPX on Snow Leopard was fixed with the 10.0.9 update, but I was wrong, it's still crashing like before. Very disappointing.
Sorry to hear that.
I run FCPX on 10.6. 10.7, and 10.8. Of those three systems, the application is the least stable on 10.6 – perhaps a half dozen crashes a week. Not so many, however, that it's anything other than an annoyance. Trashing preferences nearly always fixes it. I have a lot more stuff on 10.6 than the other OS, so I'm inclined to blame a conflict rather than the OS.
Since the usual fixes don't seem to be working for you, try creating a new user and see whether it behaves. Or, for a longer term work-around, make a partition on your boot drive (or external), install 10.8. and dual boot.
Good luck.

Poor Battery Performance on MacBook With Snow Leopard
Upon installing Snow on my MacBook Unibody, my battery performance has degraded from approximately 5 hours on a full charge to now less than 2.5 hours. Has anyone else experienced such? I am set up for maximum power saving in battery mode and mainly surf the web and use Pages on occasion while on battery mode. Upon allowing the battery to drain, it indeed lasted only 2.5 hours with just web surfing. I tried a few startups and repaired disk permissions, yet the menu continued to show 2.5 hours on a full charge. Advice anyone?
Snow Leopard has been a power hog so far. I have the same settings and applications, etc. as with running just Leopard. I went from 5-7 hours on my black MacBook (that's with running videos, etc.) to now just barely 2 hours.
I just bought a brand new MacBook Pro a couple of days ago and it only lasts a few hours. Nowhere near the boost they advertise.
Either my old Black MacBook just had an awesome battery or the new software upgrade ***** juice. I am getting ready to wipe the upgrade. I was satisfied with Leopard and Tiger. I rather have all day performance than having to drag the cord out everywhere like you do with a PC. I expect a PC to suck juice and give me only 45min. battery, but not my MacBook. -
Aperture is very slow with Snow Leopard
Hello,
I updated my MyBook with Snow Leopard. The (big) problem is that Aperture 2.1.4 is now very slow when I make change to images. CPU usage is very high and Aperture is unusable.
What can I do?
Thanks in advance.zemitch - I also use one of the slowest machines capable of running SL, but my your graphics card may be different than mine. But I also store my masters on an external drive and that wasn't the issue.
I found rebuilding the database of Aperture when starting up helps a bit, but the biggest improvement is to do cropping/straightening AFTER the other adjustments. That changes my workflow, but with no crop/straighten, the other adjustments didn't not show the horrible slowdown.
See if that helps you. -
I have updated my MB to Snow Leopard 10.6.3 - I know this means I am a little behind the times but the problems I am now having seem to justify my reluctance. Now am unable to connect to the internet! I use a time capsule connected via a router. Everything is still OK with every other device (PC, I phone, Ipod) in the house so I know the "Network" is still enabled and there is no problem with the ISP. Strangley whenever I boot up the MB it appears to freeze the network such that the other devices also will then not access the internet. To regain access I have to turn off the MB and reset the router. Any help gratefully recieved as I have tried some of the ideas i have found in the internet but nothing is working. Thanks.
That's odd.
Try this: Unplug your Time Capsule and your router. On your MBP, click the Wi-Fi icon and select "Open Network Preferences".
Click the lock icon to authenticate, then click the "gear" and select "set service order". Wherever AirPort (or Wi-Fi - I forget what Snow Leopard calls it) appears, drag it elsewhere in the list. Click OK, then Apply, then power up your router and TC.
If that doesn't result in any change, repeat the above but try making the service(s) you do not need "inactive".
The purpose of this is to reset or at least change your Network Preferences, which somehow got confused upon upgrading to SL. -
I had been using an old iTunes program. This was with Snow Leopard. I bought a Nano 7, but it wouldn't work with the old iTunes. I upgraded to the newest edition, but then iTunes wouldn't open. I was told by Apple that the computer shouldn't have downloaded the latest iTunes (but it did). I was told I needed to upgrade to Mavericks.
So I di. iTunes still won't open, whether from the doc or the Application file. I tried to delete it and reinstall, but the computer won't let me. So how can I get iTunes to work?
Thanks!Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?

i have a 2008 imac with snow leopard. i installed update 10.9.3 not realizing it's best for Maverick's users. Now my Itunes 11.2.2 won't burn playlists to CD. Anyone else with this problem? CAn I uninstall the 10.9.3 update? Also my HP scannerwill not save the displayed scanned document since this update! it just saves gray.
If you have your old system backed up then erase the drive and restore your backup. If you don't have a backup then backup your entire Home folder. Erase the drive and install Snow Leopard after which you can restore your Home folder from the backup.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
2. 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 the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
Or you can:
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities 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.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
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 click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall the 10.9.3 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.3 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Update (Combo). -
I have a canon multifunction printer that used to work with snow leopard but since I updated to mountain lion it stoped working. How do I make it work again?
This problem is not unheard of when upgrading from Snow Leopard. It is usually solved by completely deleting the existing printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan, and adding it again.

help!....i have macbook with lion 10.5.8 op because protools does not work with snow leopard, now i bought "traktor" which does not work with old op sys, can´t find a suitable update anywhere, what to do ? pete
According to Roaring Apps, there is a version of Protools compatible with Lion. But you may need Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to buy either Lion or ML on MAS. It looks like you need to get up-to-date with your OS and the apps too.

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?

Not impressed with Snow Leopard
i upgraded to Snow Leopard, thinking it would make my computer run more efficiently, and expecting some of the problems with programs that were present in Leopard to be resolved (this was promised in the description of the upgrade on the apple website). Unfortunately, I almost want to revert back to Leopard, as Snow Leopard appears to have done more harm than good for my system.
The computer actually seems to be running more slowly, and programs take up more power than before, so the battery dies faster and takes longer to charge fully. Also, before Snow Leopard, iChat had been crashing occasionally when video chatting in full screen mode, but now it barely works at all! I have to try several times to start a video conference, and even then it crashes more often than it ever did before.
My browser runs less efficiently as well, and Safari frequently quits altogether, which is very frustrating. I am not sure what was improved in this upgrade, but I think there might still be a great deal of work to be done here, and that perhaps Snow Leopard was released too soon.
I have one of the newer models of Macbook; I bought it last December, so it is not even a year old. This shouldn't have anything to do with the issues I am having with Snow Leopard.
Is anybody else having these problems, or does anybody know if there is anything I can do? Is there a way to go back to Leopard??
Thanks!The update is only good for Mac's listed in this About the Performance update.
