Cannot connect to any IM clients since updating to snow leopard.

Hey Guys
I'm having a problem with my IM clients since updating to 10.6. I use Adium primarily and have Microsoft messenger through Office 2008 installed. Every time I try and connect to the servers I get a message in Adium telling me it has a connection error and Microsoft Messenger tells me I am not connected to the internet. I have tried other clients such as Pidgin and have the same issues and my MSN still works on my windows desktop. I am absolutely stuck with what to do. Adium support says that as it doesnt work on Microsoft messenger its nothing to do with them and its a issue on my side :S.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for responding guys. I looked to see if their was a firewall option somewhere I could disable or make a exemption for but came up with nothing. Today I reinstalled snow leopard again and every thing seems ok now. I really am not sure what the problem was.
Thanks for your help anyway. this could help others in a similar situation.

Cannot access my WD NetCenter since updating to Snow Leopard

Hi there,
I'm updating the OS on both of my MACs. Since I have updated to Snow Leopard I can no longer access my WD NetCenter external drive, but I can on the MAC which has the previous version 10.5.8 Leopard. I can see the wd-netcenter in my SHARED location. When I try to access it I get ....The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “Common” can’t be found.
I've been on NetCenter's support pages and can't find a solution. If anyone has one I'd appreciate it.
kind regards
Robert

Hi sanjampet,
It doesn't show-up on my desk-top; but it does appear in my Finder window. It appears as wd-netcenter under the SHARED location.
I select wd-netcenter to access the netcenter, it then shows all of my folders within the netcenter, but when I select the Connect As.. button, regardless of who I log in as or with what permission the following message appears: The operation can't be completed because the original item for "folder name" can't be found.

'Open Recent' Not Working In FCP 6 Since Updating To Snow Leopard

Yes, I new I shouldn't of updated to Snow Leopard until they ironed out some wrinkles first, oh well.....
Anyway, I have noticed since updating the 'Open Recent' doesn't seem to work In my FCP 6, I remember Logic Pro doing the same thing a few years back and the word was to bin some kind of preference file?
Any ideas, Cheers

Instructions for Final Cut Pro 6. This might have changed in FCP 7.
Deleting FCP Preferences:
Open a Finder window. Set the view mode to columns:
Click the house icon that has your name next to it.
Click the folder "Library" in the next column.
Find and click the folder "Preferences" in the next column.
Find and click the folder "Final Cut Pro User Data" in the next column.
Move the files "Final Cut Pro 6.0 Prefs", "Final Cut Pro Obj Cache" and "Final Cut Pro Prof Cache" to the Trash and empty it.
When you have a stable set of preference files, download [Preference Manager|http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm] to back them up. If you have further problems, the backup can be recalled and you can continue working.

Safari 4.03 don't start since update to Snow Leopard

I've just updated to Snow Leopard and now i have an error message when i want to start Safari 4.03 if i translate it in English :
"Impossible to open this version of Safari software with this version of Mac OS X.
You have Safari 4.0.3"
Did somebody have a solution ?

1. perform a software update, if it finds any go for it
2. if number 1 does nto apply, just reinstall your safari so you have to delete
Safari application
Safari receipt can be found in /library/receipts
safari plist
safari folder from /library/safari
trash the above items. insert your snow leopard disc then do an optional install.

Cannot connect to my WIFI network since updating to IOS 7.0

Since updating to IOS 7.0, I have been unable to connect to my (or any) wifi network.
I have tried every suggestion / help from the forums / web searching.
I have tried different wifi connections (all the same - unable to connect to network).
Waited for the 7.0.3 to see if this has fixed the problem, but no..
I'm extremely frustrated and would like Apple to help.. I'm not the only person with this problem - and I haven't seen a single response from apple regarding this.
Since I am now out of the 1 year warranty - I will be pursuing this through the 'sale of goods' act in the UK if I don't receive a satisfactory response - I expect my device to last longer than a couple of years and consider the ipad broken as a result of the update...
Have been very happy with my apple devices up to this point, but loosing patience now!

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Movies won't play since update to Snow Leopard.

After updating from Tiger to Snow Leopard I can no longer play movies in iPhoto, I double click the movie but nothing happens. I imported one to iMovie & it plays OK there so what has gone wrong in iPhoto?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Greetings Carol,
Take a look at this article from the Apple website: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3003
Hope that helps.

I cannot connect with people on video chat after installing Snow Leopard.

As soon as I installed Snow Leopard I tried to connect (Video) with a friend through iChat, and it kept saying the person declined the invitation. Is this a known issue.

Hi,
iChat reads the full rate of your Connection Speed in iChat 5 rather than the setting in iChat 4 that read the System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming speed as it's speed in Leopard.
I have a G4 running Leopard and calling from the Snow Leopard MacBook Pro gets the Declined message where as starting from the G4 and calling the Macbook Pro even using an AIM Buddy list, works.
I suspect but have no proof yet that the faster speed makes iChat think the other end has not replied and the "Declined" message is the default one.
I would get the declined even before the Visible Invite had go to the G4.
I set the iChat menu < Preferences > Video Section > Bandwidth Limit to 500kbps with no apparent improvement.
I have since called other Buddies from the MacBook Pro and been successful.
(which throws my theory somewhat)
As a Side note the Connection Doctor (Video Menu of iChat) has a Network Status item now and I get Port Restricted which is coloured Amber as being one of the less favoured NAT methods.

Update to 3.1- Cannot connect to any email client

I use Microsoft Exchange and Gmail... neither will connect after updating to 3.1. I have tried restarting the phone. I really do not want to restore unless absolutely necessary.
Any thoughts?

Update: None of my apps would connect. I'm doing a restore. This is ********.

Pages 09 not printing graphics since updating to snow leopard

I've updated to 10.6.2 but I am unable to print templates with graphics to my Xerox 6520 DP printer. Reloaded the drivers but still not working. Will go ck with Xerox to see if they are issuing a new release driver or not. I tried opening a template within Pages and I get the same result of "error printing" no number along with it. Tried doing a save as PDf and get the same printing error. Anyone have any ideas?

Repair permission is something I do after a major installation. Do that.
Are you able to print from other applications, i.e. TextEdit?
If not, can you print from another account? You can create a new account from Accounts in the System preferences.
It might be the driver that needs an update but that is outside my knowledge.

TS5202 Cannot connect to app store in mac os X snow leopard

PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP . I WANT TO UPGRADE TO A MAVERICKS BUT I CAN'T because it's not connecting at all

Have you checked to see if your machine is capable of running Mavericks?

The Apple figure of 2GB RAM required is only borderline. 4GB or more would be better.

DNS odd problem since updating to snow leopard

Basically, I can't resolve hostnames on my local network except using dig. Here is an example:
+mackbook:etc mattboswell$ dig gateway+
+; <<>> DiG 9.6.0-APPLE-P2 <<>> gateway+
+;; global options: cmd
+;; Got answer:+
+;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 7203+

Ok, that works. But this does not:
+mackbook:etc mattboswell$ ping gateway+
+ping: cannot resolve gateway: Unknown host+
I know this is probably something simple but I'm not sure where to look.
Thanks,
Matt

Ok, this is odd. There are names on the .local domain that I can resolve just fine, and others that I cannot. Example, there is a host called divaplug (it's a sheevaplug) that I can resolve ok, ssh divaplug or ping divaplug work just fine. There is another host called ubuntu-dev that will resolve with dig but ping or ssh require the trailing . to resolve.

Are you running Leopard on your Mac, Laurie?
If so, try instead updating to iTunes 10.6.3.25. (That supports earlier models of iPhones running iOS 6, even though it can't run the new iPhone 5s.)
A .dmg installer for iTunes version 10.6.3.25 for Mac OS can be found at the following download page on the Apple website:
iTunes 10.6.3

Can't open new project in Logic after updating to Snow Leopard

I've been having a few problems with Logic 9 since updating to Snow Leopard (10.6.8 ) a couple of days ago.
Every time i click on "new" and try and start a new project - logic freezes and i get the rotating circle sign and Logic stops responding - eventually i need to force quit and start again.
Existing projects seem to be functioning fine, although slightly slower than before.
Does anyone have any fixes for this?! Not being able to start a new project is quite a big problem!
Thanks

opened from the tool bar and also directly from applications. Any more suggestions?
Can you start a new project, or are you saying you cannot launch DVD SP at all? If the later try deleting the preferences (since you are on the road, make sure you copy the preferences to someplace in case something goes wrong.) If it is the former, you may not be ablle to open the existing project if you took all the steps of clicking cancel etc., though the deleting preferences could possibly help if the preferences are corrupted and causing an issue when you are trying to skip files. (Would not count on that one though.)

Updated to snow leopard. Printer no longer turning on.

Since updating to Snow Leopard, my printer (an HP DeskJet 5550) no longer turns on when I print over my wireless network via Airport Express. Not sure if this has something to do with the Express, Snow Leopard, or something else.
Any thoughts?

I am having the same problem with an HP Laserjet 1150 connected to my Airport Extreme.

Home sharing does not work after update to snow leopard 10.6.4 and iTunes 9

I am using home sharing since about a year without any problems. After updating to snow leopard 10.6.4 and iTunes 9.2 it suddenly does not work anymore.
On my iMac and my Mac Book Pro I get error code 3259 and it tells me to check my firewall and to enable Port 3689.
I did not change anything in the firewall settings, itunes on both allows data traffic in both directions. I also do not find any option to activate a port ( also wondering why this is suddenly now necessary)
I deactivated home sharing on both machines and enabled it again. It still does not work.
On both machines iTunes displays the the library on the left side but like said it is not accessable
With Finder I can access the other computer from both machines without any problem.
Any help to solve this would be very much appreciated

first of all, if you are behind a router firewall, and have your network secured (WPA2 and a long, non-dictionary password made up of letters and numbers), you don't need the software firewall on your Mac(s).
@ least turned if off for troubleshooting purposes.
turn home sharing off on both computers, and make sure
(a) both Macs have access to the internet
(b) iTunes on both machines is authorized for the same iTunes account.
turn home sharing back on on both Macs.
does it work ?
