Can't print to pdf since I installed Snow Leopard.

I make newspaper ads all the time in Illustrator CS4 on a Mac.
I always print them to pdf files. Never had any trouble doing this.
However, since I installed Snow Leopard I can not print to pdfs.
I go through the usual motions and then... just nothing happens.
Are there known issues with AI CS4 and Snow Leopard?

I was having the same problem. Basically, you now have to "save as" then "to PDF" to get the same results. Although this new method give you more choices in terms of output, i.e. saving layers, image resolution, it has also produced larger PDF files. I will then have to open the document in Acrobat and "reduce file size". I do wish they would bring back the print to PDF option. Go to the link below to read more. If you figure out how to produce the same results and get the small files sizes back please share.

Ever since I installed Snow Leopard (10.6.8), masking in QuickTime 7Pro has stopped working. Has anybody experienced this? Is there a work around? Can I use FCP to add masks to video?

Ever since I installed Snow Leopard (10.6.8) a month ago, the masking function in QuickTime 7Pro (v. 7.6.6) stopped working. Masks disappeared in old videos where I had previously and successfully added a mask, and I could not longer use QT 7Pro to add a mask to a new video. When I installed Snow Leopard I also installed QT X, but I found QT 7Pro in the Utilities folder, so it is still there but the masking function is definately not working.
Has anybody else experienced this?
Is there a remedy so I can recover my older masked videos, and make new masked videos?
Can I make masked videos in Final Cut Pro?
Thanks!

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.

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.

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.

Can't "save as" .bmp since upgrading to Snow Leopard

Okay, I'm using CS2 and since upgrading to Snow Leopard I have been unable to "save as" .bmp once I choose save, Photoshop crashed

Well CS3 is officially "unsupported" (but still works OK). But CS2, given the under-the-hood changes to the OS, is doubtful that it will work at all. Or as you are experiencing, works sometimes and crashes on certain things. Best to consider an upgrade.

Can't see Ipod 5G since upgrade to snow leopard

Hi there, I hope someone can help. I've just upgraded to Snow Leopard, and now my computer can't see the Ipod - no icon at all: in iTunes, Finder, or on the Desktop. I checked it wasn't on 'hold' and also reset it after reading Apple's support docs. The ipod itself doesn't respond: it, not even 'charging'. Any help would be very much appreciated. Cheers! PS: The ipod works fine

Snow Leopard is known to fail in this regard - see this article:
Mac OS X v10.6 or later: iOS device not recognized in iTunes after restart
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3540
In general, Snow Leopard has a pervasive bug that causes iPads/iTouches/iPhones not to be recognized in iTunes. (This would presumably not, however, affect iPods, and so would apply to the o.p.)
(The article does not work for me, but it may work for someone else.)

I can't print scanned pdfs since upgrading to yosemite. any thoughts?

I upgraded a week ago and cannot print a pdf, either from our dropbox folder or from the local documents folder. I can print pdfs from Preview though. Anyone having similar trouble?

Same thing is happening to me. Just realized it and am going to stop using Mail for the timbering I guess.
Also have an Exchange account.

I can't burn DVD's on DVD Studio Pro since I install Snow Leopard

Well, my computer was working great, I had tiger installed and I decided to update to snow leopard and "big mistake" since then I haven't been able to burn DVD's from DVD Studio Pro, at the time to start writing the information to burn it, it shows a message saying " the recording device reported the error #6. Unknown device error. I connected and external dvd burner and when is time to burn it says "The recording device reported the illegal request. Unknown device.
I can easily burn DVD's from iDVD what makes me believe the problem is not with the burner. I went to Melrose Mac and they told me there is a conflict between FCS and Snow Leopard, they suggested to install Leopard instead, he mention many people has complain about the same issue Can that be possible? I got something thinking my computer was going to work better and I screwed it up!

Did you also upgrade DVD Studio Pro?

I can't get my printer to work since I loaded snow leopard???

If I delete snow leopard will I be able to use safari again and get my printer to work again???

I am afraid if you can't print with any applications in Mac OS this is not a problem specific to Firefox and we can't be of much help.
I'd suggest contacting [https://www.apple.com/support/country/ Apple Support] if this is the case.

Can't open any online PDF files since I installed Snow Leopard.

I now have MacOSX 10.6.8 installed in my MacBook Pro and I'm unable to view any online PDF files using Safari 5.1 or Firefox 5.01. I have submitted this problem to both Firefox and Safari without success. Does anyone have this problem?

From the Safari menu bar, please select Help > Installed Plug-Ins. What plugins are listed in the window that opens?

Neither my programs will open or can I open any PDF since the install.

Installed the whole Adobe suite products and now I cannot open any PDF or the program. It clicks, downloads, and does nothing! Help!

What is your operating system?
