Cannot login after snow leopard install

Hi
I have installed snow leopard onto my macbook pro, it worked ok after install and then after shutting down and restarting the next day I can no longer login. It says that there is a problem with filevault - "your home folder which is protected by filevault didn't open. it needs to be repaired. To repair folder continue log in." So I clicked ok and it says that "you are unable to login at this time because an error occurred"
Please can someone help!!! How do I log in and repair filevault?

Once you eject the disc, gently clean it before reinserting it. Some dvd drives are very fussy about the media.

HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install

HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install
Reinstalling etc does not work - does anyone else have the same problem or a clue as to how to fix this?

Keith,
I got a C6280 and the scanner does not work anymore. I am for 6 days in contact with HP. The last printer driver install form the apple web site does not open the image of HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.dmg because of an invalid checksum. The skipping of the validation gives and error in the install.

Cannot restart after failed Leopard install

Attempted to install Leopard on iBook with appropriate processor speed. Installation fails. Reran installer and let DVD be checked. States problem with DVD. When I try to restart the computer, it will not restart. Spinning wheel just keeps spinning. I cannot get the DVD to eject.
I have already had to pay to have 24" iMac fixed after failed Leopard install, 2-3 hours trying to get through to Apple, and prior to posted comments on installation problems on the web site.
So far lousy product and very lousy service/support.

IPhone 3GS doesn't sync after snow leopard install

Since installing snow leopard, iTunes does not sync with my iPhone when I connect it to the computer. iPhoto automatically opens to sync, but iTunes is dormant, and does not list my phone under the devices menu.....help!!

This same thing happened to me today. Snow leopard install and now itunes cannot find any of our iphones. It might be nice IF APPLE ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE HERE ON THE THREAD. We also have a brand new iphone and can't even get it synced, which really really *****.
It bothers me that apple is not responding immediately to this issue.

Text messages in Safari are garbled on Mac Pro after Snow Leopard install

When reading or composing my Yahoo mail text messages in Safari on my Mac Pro after Snow Leopard, the wording is very garbled. Looks like o's, s's, c's, some caps, with lots of spaces intermixed. Messages look ok on Firefox, on same machine. New messages and reading sent messages look ok on my MacBook and MB Air. When cutting and pasting into something else (like this window), the text looks fine. I can compose and send messages that look garbled, but the right words and letters go out. HTML messages look ok. Any clues for solution?

I have this happening in bunch of different HTML pages. Here's a screenshot of the same page in Safari (Version 4.0.3 (6531.9)) and Mac OS X 1.6.1 side by side with Camino:
https://dl.getdropbox.com/u/362958/miscwebimages/Screen%20shot%202009-09-22%20at%2018.35.47.png
Camino renders the page correctly. Safari is really unusable with this problem. Tried switching to and from 64-bit mode in Safari, didn't help either.

Can't get some websites to work after snow leopard install, java maybe?

I'm a day trader. I use TD Ameritrade every day to work on. I believe the real time streamer and level 2 quotes are all java based.
This past weekend I did the Snow Leopard install on my computer. Until this morning it seemed like all was well.
I go to ameritrade and try to log in and it keeps saying it doesn't recognize my log in. I called them and they are able to log into my account so its my computer. I went to the java preferences and there use to be a lot of java types there now there are just 2, could that some how be it?
Any suggestions?
Susan

Safari is a 64 bit application, is it worth starting the app in 32 bit mode and testing if it is any better.
use finder and highlight Safari in the applications directory, do a get Info (cmd i) and tick the 32 bit mode box and restart Safari.
If it does not help remember to revert back to 64 bit mode.

TS3479 quick time not working after snow leopard install?

Made video's on my iphone and loaded them to my imac. Video did not work in iphoto. No Quick time pop up. what happened? Snow leopard install.

You need to re-install iPhoto because it's missing bits of itself:
Library not loaded...
Reason: no suitable image found.
Looking at the missing files it's possible that it's missing from the OS. But start with re-installing iPhoto, and if that fails you'll ned to re-install the OS.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only...’

TM backup disk cannot be found after Snow Leopard install

Message from elsewhere re-posted here after helpful advice from Apple Discussions Team.
Just installed Snow Leopard (with TM switched off though not unplugged) and got all the software updates available. I re-installed the TM installation disk. Everything went ok until I wanted to restore from my Time Capsule. I switched the big switch on. TM is continuing to make backups but when I want to locate folders to restore TM won't go back further than the day I installed Snow Leopard. Having selected the TM disk and entered the password the dialogue tells me that the TM backup disk cannot be found and offers me the select disk dialogue again. I have gone through the unplug/plug routine.
Through Migration Assistant I tried the contents of my Pictures folder (including all my iPhoto libraries) but it just supplied an empty folder. Since I didn't migrate at the time of the Snow install I wonder whether it was migrating the earliest backup it had made after the Snow install. This would make sense if "the Time Machine backup disk cannot be found", as the dialogue keeps telling me.
Anyone any ideas?

I'm not sure just what you did.
Did you reinstall Snow Leopard? Did you do a full restore?
First, just re-select your Time Capsule in TM Preferences.
If that doesn't help, try a "Full Reset" of TM per #A4 of the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip* at the top of this forum.
If that doesn't help, see #E2 there.
If still no help, use the Finder to see if you have two sparse bundles on your Time Capsule. If so, try mounting one manually by double-clicking it, then using the Browse option per #E2.

Mac Pro seems to be missing 0.5 GB of ram after Snow Leopard install

I just installed Snow Leopard on my Mac Pro (2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon). The computer has only ever had the default 2 GB of RAM that comes with it from Apple. I know I need more, it's on order. The odd thing that I noticed after installing Snow Leopard is that the computer now only reports 1.5 GB or RAM in the "About This Mac" box. Specifically it says: "1.5 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM". Odd.
Second if I click "More Info..." below is what I see in the memory slots.
Does anyone know what might have caused this, or if its possible to get that 0.5 GB back?
Second I just ordered 8 GB of RAM (MACMEM 4Gx2|KST KTA-MP800K2/8G R). If the above issue doesn't get resolved what do you suggest I do when the new RAM arrives? Should I just add in the new stuff for a total of 9.5 GB, or should I also take out the existing RAM that's reporting odd values? I'm wondering if the missing 0.5 GB is a symptom of other issues, and maybe that RAM is "sick" and could slow things down somehow.
Thanks for any ideas.
Jesse

I am running a '07 Mac Pro that has had 7GB RAM since I bought it almost 3 years ago - the original 2x512MB + 6x1GB purchased from Crucial.com. Suddenly, after installing Snow Leopard, only 6GB are being recognized; two of the 1GB DIMM's now read as 512MB in System Profiler, and the Part Number and Serial Number listed for those modules are incorrect.
After searching these forums for ideas, I have tried:
• Resetting the PRAM -- no change
• Running Apple Hardware Test -- no problems found
• Running TechTool Deluxe 3.1.3 (updated for Snow Leopard) -- no problems found
• Running TechTool Pro 5.1.6 (updated for Snow Leopard) -- no problems found
• Running system scanner (beta) from Crucial.com - cannot read installed RAM
The only thing I haven't tried is physically reinstalling the modules, but since the computer hasn't moved in months that seems pretty doubtful. If I make any progress I'll post again, otherwise, I'll be contacting Crucial for replacements.

MacBook Pro Won't Sleep after Snow Leopard Install

Neither closing the computer, or selecting Sleep from the menu will allow my computer to enter slumber. Shorty after closing its eyes, my computer will make that unsettling grinding noise and wake up.
I've reset the PRAM, the PMU, turned off bluetooth, airport, all running applications. This only started happening after installing 10.6.
I found a thread on MacRumors discussing this problem, but there was no fix yet. So I bring it here. Can anybody guess what's up, or should I just take it in to the Apple store?

Don't bother taking it to the Apple Store. They won't be able to help. This is a bug in Snow Leopard. I don't know of any workaround or any way to make it stop. It doesn't happen all the time. Usually shutting down the machine will fix it. Sometimes, it will fix itself after a while.
It is important that you never assume a machine is going to go to sleep successfully. Always wait for the pulsating light. If it does go to sleep, chances are it will stay that way. I used iLid Preference Pane to make sure that my machine doesn't accidentally wake up while it is in a bag or something.
I've already filed a couple of bug reports about it. You can help you sending your feedback to Apple.

Time Machine "resets" after Snow Leopard install.

This may be answered in other threads, if so I'd appreciate a pointer to them. I couldn't find an appropriate one in my searches.
I have a MBA and recently installed Snow plus the 10.6.1 update. I was having various issues and reinstalled Snow, leaving me at 10.6.0.
I had deleted some applications to free up some space, and decided to restore them with Time Machine (TM). The first time I opened TM, it seemed normal and I restored one of the applications.
Then my external drive where TM backs up to began to backup. Later I tried to open up TM and my desktop froze. After several reboots still had the same issue, I did a Safe Boot. Then rebooted as normal.
Now TM asks if I want to start backing up, net new. It doesn't appear to see the old backups anymore.

Try the Snow Leopard forums. You are now in the Leopard forums. Wrong place for a SL question.
TM questions should be posed in the Time Machine topic area of the Leopard forums. At the top of the TM forum are three User Contributed Tips that you should read to see if you are able to find a solution for your problem.

Cannot Scan after Snow Leopard Upgrade

After I upgraded to Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro & Mac Pro, I have not been able to scan from my HP Photosmart 8180 All-In-One printer. The printer works fine and I can connect to the HP for a scan; but, when I try to scan I get the same error during the scan on both computers. I have reloaded the original HP software drivers and made sure they were current prior to the above, so I need some direction on how to proceed.

Here - this might fix it:
* Cause *
This issue might have occurred if you are trying to scan using the previous version HP Software and Drivers or due to the device driver/ software conflicts.
This issue may also occur if the previous version HP Software and Drivers are conflicting with the Generic built-in Drivers that are available in Mac OS X 10.6 or due to the communication error between the Printer and the Mac Computer.
* Information *
The latest HP printer drivers, scan software, and utility for most of HP All-in-One Printers are included in Mac OS X 10.6 by default. So, no need to reinstall or download any HP software for full print, scan and utility functionality.
Scanning: The Scanning interface is now built into Snow Leopard and supported with the Apple Image Capture application. Instructions follow.
NOTE: HP Scan Pro software (from Mac OS X 10.4, 10.5) is not supported in Snow Leopard. The HP icon for HP Device Manager still in the dock after upgrade is not functional and should be removed.
NOTE: Scan support from pushing the Scan button on the printer is not supported with this version of the scan interface built into Snow Leopard. Scan functionality is supported by scanning directly from the computer.
* HP Full Feature Software and Drivers for Mac OS X v10.6
However, in checking the Software and Drivers downloads page for your HP All-in-One Printer, I am glad to see that the latest version (10.3) HP Full Feature Software and Drivers are available to work with Mac OS X 10.6 Operating System for full Print and Scan Features.
Once you install the latest version HP Full Feature Software and Drivers, you can scan using the HP Scan.App application from your Mac Computer running Mac OS X 10.6.
* Resolution *
In order to resolve this issue, I would request you to follow the steps provided below as they are mentioned and let us know the status of this issue.
* Step 1: Uninstall the previous version HP Software and Drivers *

1. Click on Go from the top menu bar.
2. Click on Applications.
3. Click on Hewlett Packard Folder.
4. Double-click on HP Scan.App.
5. Click on the Documents and then click on Scan.
6. The scanned output will appear in Scan window and prompts you to scan another page.
7. If there is any other page to scan, then please click on yes otherwise, click on No.
8. In Scan Window, please click on Send option.
9. Select the appropriate destination under the “Choose a Destination, or Task, for Scanned items” to send the scanned output and then click on Send to send the scanned output to the appropriate destination.
* Scanning using the inbuilt Scan Interface
There are three ways to perform scanning using the generic built-in Software and Drivers from your HP All-in-One Printer:
Ø Preview program
Ø Image Capture program
Ø System Preferences > Print & Fax
Important: After you open the scan interface, it is important to select the correct mode (Flatbed or Document Feeder) for the source of the scan image. Your HP All-in-One may have an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) or a flatbed lid. By default, Document Feeder will be the automatically selected Mode for any devices that have an ADF. You must select Flatbed if you want to scan directly from the glass flatbed and not the Document Feeder.
For more information about Scanning and Image Capture, open the Help menu from Mac OS X 10.6 and type in your question.
Method one: Scan from the Preview application
1. Click the Apple Preview icon in the dock to open the Preview application.
2. From the Preview File pull-down menu, choose Import from Scanner.
3. Choose the HP Photosmart, Officejet, or Deskjet All-in-One.
The scan interface opens. Click Show Details to view settings and options.
Method two: Scan from the Image Capture application
1. In the Applications folder, select and open Image Capture.
2. In the list of devices on the left, click your HP All-in-One.
Networked devices appear in the Shared list.
The scan interface opens. Click Show Details to view settings and options.
Method three: Scan from Print & Fax > Printer browser
1. From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
2. Click Print & Fax.
3. In the list of printers on the left side of the dialog, select the HP All-in-One to view the options in the Print & Fax window.
4. Click the Scan tab, and then click Open Scanner.
The Printer Browser window appears.
5. Click the Scan icon at top right of the toolbar to launch scanning.
The scan interface opens. Click Show Details to view settings and options.
Important Gotcha: If the Scan or Print icons do not appear in the Printer Browser window toolbar, you need to delete the current HP printer queue and add a new one, as follows:
1. Close the Printer Browser window to return to the Print & Fax preference pane. Or, go directly to the System Preferences > Print & Fax pane.
2. Select your HP printer in the list on the left.
3. Click the - sign at the bottom of the list to delete the product from the list.
4. Click the + sign at the bottom of the list to add the product back to the list.
5. Select your HP printer, and then click Add to create a new print queue.
The next time you open the Printer Browser window, the Print and Scan icons should appear in the toolbar, providing access to Image Capture.

DVD Drives not working after Snow Leopard install

Hello all. I'm having problems after installing Snow Leopard. Om my MacBook Pro, my DVD drive doesn't even read discs anymore. It keeps it spinning for a while and then ejects it.
Coincidentally, the drive on my iMac 3+ GHZ is not accepting my discs into the DVD drive. It's not sucking in the discs anymore.
Both of these things started happening right after the Snow Leopard installation.
Can anyone help?

Have been running without trouble and had total ability to burn disc images to DVD until SL installation. after installation, every burn attempt fails to complete, give me an unrecoverabl, unable to restart error. I does burn data to the disc, but fails at some point near the end of the burn wich renders the disc a "coaster". I put my spare HDD back in wich was running 10.5, the problem exists with that drive also. My next step was to load a fresh drive with 10.5, even then the problem exists. I find it hard to believe that the drive failed exactly when SL was installed, more likely that the installation changed a hardware setting, or installed a firmware update which cause the problem. As I am a repair tech, I have done a ton of reaserch on the subject, and I find that litterally 10's of thousands of people have had the same issue after the SL upgrade. Come on Apple, I always heard you were better than Microsoft, but as everyone can see there is a problem. Get working on the fix and patch it just like Microsoft.

Iphone not detected after snow leopard install

I just upgraded to snow leopard (and did a clean install so I deleted everything) but now iTunes isn't detecting my iPhone. When it's plugged in it charges but it doesn't show up in the iTunes sidebar. I already did the "authorize computer" thing and it didn't work
Please help!!

I basically have the same issue... i have an iPhone 3G and a Macbook:
- was running Leopard - ran software update
- installed Snow Leopard
- tried to plug in my iPhone to my Mac
- iTunes started up and got the neverending pinwheel
Noticed the following:
- iPhoto sees my iPhone fine.
- Remote app for my iPhone interfaces with iTunes fine.
Only have the "not responding" message with pinwheel after connecting my iPhone to my Mac with the USB cable. Not sure what's going on... hope the devs get a solution running soon!

Mac will not boot after Snow Leopard install

I recently had a HD crash. Replaced the HD and installed Snow Leopard from a image file on an external HD. Install went great. I copied over data files and things seems just fine. My first reboot after the install and the Mini won't boot. I am stuck with the Apple Logo and a spinning wheel. I ran disk utility and the new HD checks out fine. When I boot with the external HD, it still sees my Mini HD. I tried restarting with Command/Option/P/R but that didn't do anything. Any advice?

I'm in a slightly similar spot- no crashes, but-- What I want to hopefully do is run my Tiger ppc apps (3) for CAD on my New- 5 weeks old) Lion Factory Installed machine. The ( November) First Aid Issue of Mac Life mentions a way
way to get external boots, UNLESS they are the Factory installed ( Lions). In the meantime----
