Can't print in Landscape mode since installing Snow Leopard

Since the installation of Snow Leopard 10.6.2 I can't print in landscape format from application such as Word, powerpoint, Turbo Cad, etc, on my network printer. This is despite changing my page set-up and printer settings My only work around at the moment is to print to a PDF document and print a hardcopy from there. Any thoughts...??

Hi fruhulda,
1000 thanks for your help. I've tried everything you suggested. Nothing really fixed the problem except creating a new account. In the new account, I could open and use Pages documents I had created before I switched to Snow Leopard. And all of the functions seemed to work properly, including copy and paste.
In order to use my old, pre-Snow Leopard documents, I had to put them into a shared folder, so that I could access them from my new account. Does this mean I'm going to have to move ALL of my files from my old account into a shared folder, bring them into the new account, and make the new account my main account? If so, that seems like a lot of annoyance and a lot of work. Not that I'm blaming you--thanks for the fix. It just would have been nice not to have to start from scratch.
Also one or two worrying things came up when I did my disk repair, namely, the following two messages:
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/PrivateFramework/DesktopServicesPriv.framework/Versions/A/Resou rces/Locum" has been modified and will not be repaired.
I did some looking around in old forums and other people have gotten these messages before and seemed to be pretty worried about them. I don't really understand what they mean, and I guess I'm wondering if I should be worried about them too.
Again thank you very much for your help so far.

  • Why can't I open InDesign Docs in Bridge since Installing Snow Leopard?

    I have CS3 Indesign. I have recently installed Snow Leopard. Since doing that I am unable to open Indesign files within Bridge. I get a very strange message that says 'missing required parameter 'from' for event open. What does that mean and can I fix it. If I drag my document to my desktop, most of the time it opens but sometimes it does not. I have to go up to the file menu and open from there. Is it a Bridge problem or is it an InDesign problem. Very annoying! Does anyone know if there is a fix for this?
    Also since installing Snow Leopard, I am unable to open multiple files in Photoshop. Once again I am doing this from Bridge.
    Any information would be most appreciated.

  • LaserJet printer no longer works after installing Snow Leopard

    Since installing Snow Leopard, my LaserJet printer no longer works.  Spent 5 hours on the phone to Apple Support without any satisfaction.  Any suggestions?  I'm desperate.......

    Go to the HP web site and download the latest drivers for your OfficeJet.

  • Since installing Snow Leopard and Lion two weeks ago, my iTunes program opens seemingly at will.  It usually starts playing music, too.  What is causing this?

    Since installing Snow Leopard and then Lion on my Intel-based iMac two weeks ago, my iTunes program seems to open at will whenever the computer is on.   It often begins playing music, as well.  What is causing this and how do I make it stop?

    There are ways to minimize, mitigate, and help avoid a lot of problems.
    Bootable backups.
    Zeroing a drive twice before using, and format it with SL DVD Apple Disk Utility for sure.
    Even a clean install should import old apps without having to reauthorize.
    If you must do an upgrade, do it from the SL DVD, after repairing the drive and be sure to use the SL version of Alsoft Disk Warrior (4.2).
    Wait six months before jumping on a new OS.
    10% is still too many. Yes, it is more sensitive to RAM and hard drive errors, doesn't like some controllers; most ext hdd cases; and enough software to make for test-only status. And it only IDs some known incompatible applications, drivers, extensions, etc and does not remove even those always in best manner.
    Plus, there are problems with the new Rosetta and the cache files it now uses. So some apps and plug-ins will cause more trouble. Not all are ready. Good reason to hold off for the months it takes.
    Other devices act different as far as on/off behavior.
    (Migrating from G5s to Mac Pro can cause all kinds of problems, weird behavior, sluggish system, and why anyone that went down that road was strongly recommended to NOT use Migration Assistant for any of their applications, and to ONLY do clean/fresh installs of any apps. If you skipped that day, didn't read the Guide to M.A., or didn't want to do fresh installs then, your system could have been on borrowed time. If you did do clean install of applications, great.
    Installing SL can result in a corrupt directory - I think and it "seems" to be happening, but no real proof, just gut feeling and instinct (underlying file system problem? weak sectors that pre-existed waiting to happen?).
    Remember all the "there just aren't a lot of 64-bit drivers" for Vista and XP? it's come home to roost.
    ... my guess is not enough incense and offerings. To hop into TimeMachine and SuperDuper backup images and pull the 1TB for another day (week, month, year).

  • 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.

  • Can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard

    I can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard. Is anyone else having this problem?
    I have a standard iWork '08 install. Has anyone experienced? And better yet, know of a fix?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Most users who have had a problem opening Office files with the iWork apps after upgrading to Snow Leopard have the problem fixed by updating to the latest versions. For iWork '08 that is Pages 3.0.3 & Numbers 1.0.3. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.0.2 & Numbers 2.0.2. I don't use Keynote, but it should also be updated. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

  • Since installing snow leopard on my macbook itunes won't work

    Since I installed snow leopard my itunes wont open it comes up with an error message   The fiel "iTuneslibrary.itl" cannot read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes,
    Can someone help me through this.  Its very frustrating, I was forced to install snow leopard in order to download itunes 10, so that it would recongize my iphone.

    Nothing should happen to the old content.  Still, you should make a backup first because once a month somebody claims something horrible did happen during an update and now they have lost all their music, their dog died, their car crashed, and they got a C- in English literature.  Oh, and it is all Apple's fault for not telling them they had to back up.

  • Why does my DVI to S Video adapter not work on my Macbook Pro since installing Snow Leopard?

    The Apple DVI to S Video Adapter worked before installing Snow Leopard.  Now I just get a blue screen.

    .wpl appears to be a Windows Media Player playlist. I can find no conversion software for that, and Windows Media Player is not available for Mac anymore.
    If you can persuade him to download iTunes and create the playlist as mp3 in a iTunes playlist, or even just burn the base mp3 files to CD as a data disc, that's about the only solutions I can suggest.

  • Unable to print on HP J6480 after installing Snow Leopard

    After installing Snow Leopard I've been unable to print from my HP J6480.  I get an error message saying to check for updates from Apple and the manufacturer.  Apple shows no more updates.  I've added a printer driver v2.6 from Apple, but that hasn't helped.  Had no problems printing before this.  Any suggestions?

    Never mind.  Just went to Hewlett Packard site and the suggestion was to reinstall the printer.  I did so and it now works.  Of course, the reinstall wiped out other printers I had on there....Adding Snow Leopard has resulted in much more work than I thought it would be!

  • Can't print with HP PSC 1315 on Snow Leopard

    Hey guys,
    About 2 weeks ago I installed Snow Leopard on my iMac, not using my HP-printer yet.
    So now I decided to connect my printer again, and just test-print something, noticing it doesn't work.
    I already knew that SL automaticaly downloads the latest drivers and things like that, so I just turned my printer on. And indeed, SL did download someting called Update HP-printerfiles. So I was pretty glad SL did that, but it didn't worked... I've already googled it, getting some helpful result directing to the HP-site, where I found the driver-package for my printer, I installed them, but it still doesn't work at all! I'm kinda out of ideas now, so if anyone has another good suggestion I'd like to hear it.
    I'm running as mentioned Snow Leopard 10.6.2.

    Alright, I've fixed this. I have absolutly no clue why both HP and Apple don't have any working drivers, (At least not for me) but after some Googling I found this:
    http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx/hpijs# MacOS_X_10.3.x_.28Panther.29_-_Mac_OS_X_10.6.x_.28SnowLeopard.29
    After opened this link, scroll down to the part that says HPIJS for Mac, then just download and install Ghostscript, Foomatic-RIP and finally hpijs-3.9.2. After that it should work. It did for me!

  • Can't edit iCal events like before installing Snow Leopard.

    When creating a New Event or trying to Edit an existing Event the title field isn't editable like before I installed Snow Leopard. If I try to click on the header field to edit it, the whole event box turns into a window with red & green buttons at the top and I STILL can't edit the title area! This doesn't make sense! Did something go wrong installing Snow Leopard? I've reinstalled it twice and still the same behavior. This can't be the way things are supposed to work editing events in iCal. I can edit the location and all the other fields in the event panel, but NOT the title. The only way I can try to edit the event title is by hitting the enter key and try to add characters before it switches to an un-editable field again.

    Perhaps you've just updated your OS and now have the newer version of iCal which is ***** compared to the faster, more elegant older version. The older iCal presented every event's details in a ready to edit format just by clicking on the item in the calendar.
    Now you have to double click that item you're interested in (one two) to get a window that shows you the item's details. Then, to edit, you must click the 'edit' button (three) upon which another editable window will allow your event details to be edited. Finally, after finishing your edits, you must click 'done' (four). Yes, that's right, 4 clicks to do what used to require only the initial click to specify which event you wanted to edit.
    Four times as many clicks for a utility application that has no further improvements, only this annoying change from what was once a very efficient tool.
    I do hope a future "update" will bring back the elegance of the older version with some true improvements.

  • My airport on my old MacBook is not working since installing snow leopard.

    I installed snow leopard last week and started having problems maintaining connections to wifi. It got to the point it was not connecting at all. I have tried all the suggestions posted on online forms to no avail. I finally reinstalled Snow Leopard and have the same problem. I find this very upsetting as I have bought uniquely apple products for the past 13 years. I buy only apple software and I think as a loyal customer I deserve better than this....

    I have tried all the suggestions posted on online forms to no avail.
    Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue in case there were things you missed.
    I think as a loyal customer I deserve better than this....
    I'm a loyal Chevy car owner and I am treated no differently than a first time Chevy owner.  Apple is just like any other huge corporation, they treat all their customers the same.  Doesn't matter if you're loyal or not. 
    Mac OS X (10.6)
    Use Software Update to update your os and anything else that needs to be updated.  You are seriously outdated for Snow Leopard.

    Unfortuantely you are victim of bad timing.  Apple did release a followup security update that fixes those issues. You can download it from:
