Changing various text in Snow Leopard

As a quick example of what I am asking, I would like to rename (amongst other things) the way my right-click menu is worded from:
Move to Trash - to - Delete
Get Info - to - Info
Burn "file" to Disc - to - Burn "file"
Duplicate and Make Alias I will probably want to rename when I work out what they do.
Clean Up Selection - to - Clean Up
Show View Options - to - View Options
Folder Actions Setup - to - Folder Actions
Can anyone explain if this is possible and how to do it, I'm hoping it is a quick edit of a cfg file somewhere or a few terminal commands.

I took your advice and found a file called standardMenus.nib, apparently it should be opened in Interface Builder, but Interface Builder tells me that it cannot open compiled nib files ...
I managed to grab this from Mac OS X Hints as well:
1. In the Finder, navigate to System -> Library -> Frameworks -> Carbon.framework -> Versions -> A -> Frameworks -> HIToolbox.framework -> Versions -> A -> Resources -> English.lproj.
2. Open StandardMenus.nib with Interface Builder (Developer Tools required) and customize to your heart's content (even delete that darn 'Get Mac OS X Software' link !)
3. Save the file when finished (don't worry, a backup of the original will automatically be made for you) and enjoy your handiwork.
But, again same issue with Interface Builder not liking compiled nib files. I bet what I needed was in that file as well

Adobe Illustrator preview icons changed since upgrade to Snow Leopard

all of my Illustrator files preview icons have changed since upgrading to snow leopard. They use to have the Ai logo. Now they have what looks like the Postscript icon.
I believe preview icons are controlled by the OS so not sure what to do. Have done all of the usual run disk permissions etc.

Illustrator CS4 is installed on my computer and works fine. Double clicking the file will launch or open in Illustrator. It's only the preview that is wrong and a bit of a nuisance if I am looking for an illustrator file

Scanning Chinese Text with Snow Leopard

Has anyone had a good experience with a Snow Leopard-compatible OCR program that they have used to scan Chinese (simplified) text? I have used ReadIris with previous Mac systems, and have found it to be a highly unstable program that crashed frequently. Have improvements been made that make ReadIris 12 more stable? Are there other programs you'd recommend? (I'm running an HP printer/scanner)
I really need a stable program, and I would be very grateful for any suggestions or advice. Thanks!

Check Macworld for reviews.

Change user account in snow leopard server??

Trying to change a user account picture in snow leopard server. Have couple computers that are on snow leopard and it uses the the network server that has all the login in. I can't change the user icon within system prefernces. Please help me!

There are server user accounts and computer user accounts. System Preferences is for creating and managing computer user accounts. Server Preferences and Workgroup Manager are for creating and managing server user accounts. If you created the account in System Preferences, you won't be able to manage it with Server Preferences or Workgroup Manager.

Change license lion to snow leopard??It´s possible?

Hello! I recently purchased a Mac BookPro 13 'with the new Lion Ox. What is happening to me is that I'm having enough problems with this operating system, for installation problems and incompatibilities with some sound hardware that I have. Second read in some forums, the system Ox Snow Leopard remains the most reliable and stable for use with these devices.
What I would like to know, and since the Mac Ox Lion (blame or not the manufacturers of the sound products) is not allowing me to configure my sound system. As Snow Leopard solves all the problems, can I change my license to use the Lion for a Snow Leopard license?
Don't care about downgrade...i want my problems solved in legal terms.
Thank you.

this version MacBookPro 13 "2.4 HTZ / Mac os x lion is not compatible with any mac os x before, ''
Correct.
but supports WindowsOS???
Also correct, via Boot Camp or one of the several virtualization solutions. Which would be the best option for you depends on the software and hardware you need to run and whether it works in a virtualized environment at all.
So the suggestion is to return it and get an older version macbook pro? Is that it?
I make no such suggestion as a blanket statement. But if you have determined that you require a system that can run a version of Mac OS X prior to Lion. If you do need such a system, then your only option will be to return your current system and look for an older model of Mac.
I always need a full installation of windows, right?
Yes.
There is some document that I can read and learn about how to makeone good installation (procedures) using the "boothcamp" with Windows 7 Ultimate?
It's "Boot Camp" not "boothcamp". See:

Change IP Address in Snow Leopard Server

I have a client who has been operating naked on the Internet for years. Every machine in their office has its own public IP address. They have had some issues with former employees accessing their machines and are becoming a bit more security minded. I have purchased an Airport Extreme for them to use as their firewall and provide wireless for the growing number of laptops and iPhones.
My question is as follows:
If I set up their AE to provide NAT for them and change the IP addresses from the public 67.xxx.xxx.xxx to a private network 192.168.xxx.xxx, how is this going to effect name resolution on the network? Will it cause any other issues that I should be aware of before making the change?
Thanks for any help and insight you can provide
SK

It very much depends whether you plan to put the SLS within the Airport LAN or not. You could easily leave it parked on its current public IP, and simply put the rest of the computers in the Airport LAN.
If you do that, it probably won't make any difference at all to the users - they'll pick up DNS information from the Airport Extreme rather than the server, but still be looking at the same location for any server based services they use (e.g. iCal server, mail etc.).
If you move the server to be within the Airport LAN then you will have to make a number of changes to the configuration of the server. Which ones need updating depends on what the server is used for. If you look on pages 132 to 144 of the manual Mac OS X Server - Advanced Server Management - which you can download from the documentation section of the Apple Support web site (http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/ServerAdminv10.6.pdf) you get a clear discussion of what services are affected by a change in IP address, and how to update the server to reflect such changes.
Hope this helps.

Powerpoint spinning ball with change from Tiger to Snow Leopard

I recently replaced my G4s with a MacMini and a MacBook Pro. My Microsoft Office 2004 (all updates installed) works just fine in Word and Excel, but to attempt to open PowerPoint on either machine results in a spinning ball and freezing the entire computer.
I have done everything that the Microsoft website suggests, and nothing changes. Is this a nefarious plot by Microsoft to force me to buy Office 2011, or is there something else I can do to make this work. Help!

Uninstall Off '04 and reinstall it.

Have Kernel Panics Changed Their Appearance In Snow Leopard?

In kernel panics of old, what appeared to be a dark tinted filter would move down the screen and you would be given a few words of encouragement that things had gone wrong and you should shutdown and restart your computer.
I have just had the screen go completely black and was unable to do anything about it. Everything appeared frozen.
I held the power button down to force a shutdown and then restarted.
Was this a "new-type" kernel panic?

I have just opened up Console and this is what I found. It mentions the word "kernel".
The report is called Kernel2010-09-03-123028Ian-Browns-iMac.panic
As things appear OK now I will not do anything unless it happens again.

HOW to temporarily use Broadcast monitoring work on snow leopard OS X v10.6.8 for FINAL CUT PRO X

thx,macmacmac give me prompt.He had an interesting trick for getting the OS X Lion 'only' plugin to work on Snow Leopard
To install the plugin on Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.8 you have to temporarily change your system version number to Lion 10.7.2!
1. Go to HD:/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist
2. Copy the file to the Desktop
3. Open the original with a text editor and change the string value of 'ProductVersion' and 'ProductUserVisibleVersion' to '10.7.2'.
4. Save & Overwrite.
I suddenly thought Apple said that Broadcast monitoring work on Lion OS X v10.7.3.I change system version number at once! Changing 10.6.8 snow leopard system version number to Lion 10.7.2!
ok,no problem. Restart final cut pro x,A/V output has appeared in FINAL CUT PRO X preferences and Window Menu
Enjoy it.HAHA!:cheer:

thanks for the tip fan!

Mountain Lion/Mavericks 'breaks' wifi base station - Snow Leopard works fine

Greetings all,
(Tried this in the OSx forum with no answers, so I figured I'd try the MacMini community and this one.)
I've been reading my way toward blindness through countless threads, here and elsewhere, from countless people, having problem with Mountain Lion and Wi-Fi these last few days, but some are using Airport, some are using third-party Wi-Fi routers, some aren't really specifying what they're using, so I thought I'd be as specific as possible about my situation - and add the fact that everything is still working fine if I boot into a cloned backup using Snow Leopard.
===
So here's the situation. I have a Intel Mac Mini which I use as a Wi-Fi base station for a Intel PowerBook Pro and an iPod 5. The Mini has been running Snow Leopard, and the PowerBook had been upgraded to Mountain Lion a few months ago. Things were still working fine at that point - the PowerBook's shift from SL to ML didn't affect its connectivity as a 'receiver' at all. About a week ago however, I finally upgraded the Mini to Mountain Lion as well (so that I could install the current version of Adobe Lightroom) and lost my Wi-Fi Internet access.
When I turn Wi-Fi on at the PowerBook, the Mini's network is visible, and I get the solid Wi-Fi fan showing a full connection, but I cannot access the Internet (indicated by the exclaimation point inside the fan for the first few seconds). The same is true on the iPod - I get the checkmark showing that I'm connected, but when I try to access any Internet services will get a pop-up box telling me that the Internet is not connected.
After going through pages and pages and pages of people struggling with similar issues on sites like this, and following suggestions like deleting my preference files, repairing permissions, zapping PRAM, creating new locations, changing IP addresses etc. I got no further. But since I had cloned my hard drive just before the upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion (thank you SuperDuper), I can reboot into Snow Leopard, and everything still works fine. With that advantage, I copied and re-created EVERY SINGLE preference in the system preferences for Network and Internet sharing* from the Snow Leopard into the Mountain Lion system. (I even went so far as to create a network in Mountain Lion's prefs. with WEP encryption instead of the newer WPA just in case that would make any difference at all.) But even with identical settings on the Mini regardless of booting into Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion, Mountain Lion remains the same - no problem connecting with the network, but complete inability to access the Internet. A few days ago, hoping against hope that an upgrade to Mavericks might reset things into some sort of working mode, I tried that - but no better result.
(*) I note that the wifi heading in the preference panes has changed from "AirPort" in Snow Leopard to "WiFI" in Mountain Lion and Mavericks, but I'm assuming that's just a change Apple made in its terminology to avoid confusion with the external AirPort options.
I would appreciate any suggestions any of you could give. And I would ask that you specify whether any suggested changes are to be made on the originating Wi-Fi station (in this case the Mini), or the receiver (in this case the MacBook). Many of the threads I've read to date can be confusing simply because they're not specifying on which machine any suggested changes need to be made, and while I'm sure there's nothing that needs to be changed at the MacBook, please specify if I'm wrong.
Thanks again,

Snow Leopard brings display profile problems

Several threads on Apple Discussions are describing problems with some display profiles after upgrading to Snow Leopard. My own experience is as follows:
I upgraded 2 machines, a 2007 MacBook Pro 2.33 GHz, and an early 2008 Mac Pro octo 2.8 GHz with Apple 30 inch Cinema Display. I use the Eye1 Display2 hardware calibrator, and have been calibrating to Gamma 2.2 for years as recommended in the Adobe Photoshop Mac Forum. The MacBook Pro has no issues with display profiles, and looks the same as before. The Mac Pro, however, was a different story. As soon as I upgraded, the display just looked wrong to me. The screen lacked contrast and looked quite soft, almost blurry. I immediately booted back into a clone of my old Leopard installation to check, and sure enough, there was that punchy contrast & solid color I'd grown accustomed to. The comparison was run using the same profile on the same hardware. Only difference was Snow Leopard. I went back to Snow Leopard and selected Apple's new default profile for my display, and this looked better, but nowhere near my custom profile on my old system. I actually took a screen shot of Apple's red, yellow & green interface button controls to show the difference. Totally noticeable as follows: Screen shot taken in Snow Leopard captures washed out interface elements. Same Screen shot opened in Leopard allows comparison of the interface elements in Snow Leopard with those in Leopard. I'd post it here, but it's back at the office & I'm at home today.
I reported this to Apple Feedback, and am posting here in case anyone else has seen this, or has suggestions. Obvious next step is to recalibrate in Snow Leopard & compare, but that doesn't explain why the same profile on the same hardware looks quite different under Snow Leopard. Apple's documentation specifically states that those using custom profiles will see no difference after upgrading.

The thing is, I don't believe that Apple changed the UI for Snow Leopard. I think I'm seeing a difference in the whole screen, using the same custom profile as before on the same hardware. I am pretty sure we are looking at the same old UI elements being displayed improperly. To support this, my MacBook Pro UI and screen look the same as they did before the Snow Leopard upgrade. Only my Mac Pro with Apple Cinema Display is showing the issue. Both machines were previously running Leopard 10.5.8 with custom display profiles. After the upgrade, using the same display profiles, the MacBook Pro looks the same as before, while the Mac Pro looks washed out, not just the UI elements, but the whole screen. Also, I've been unable to generate a satisfactory new custom profile for the Mac Pro using my Eye1 Display2 hardware calibrator.

Losing Printer Options after Snow Leopard Upgrade? Any solution?

I've lost the ability to print multiple pages on one page with my Samsung SCX-4500 printer. The only factor that changed is upgrading to Snow Leopard.
I've reinstalled printer drivers but the Page Setup/Layout drop down screen is not available.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Does anyone have ideas as to how to solve it?
I hate wasting paper and the multipage function was a factor in purchasing this printer from Apple.
Thanks.

This ability shouldn't be tied to the specific printer you are using.
I've reinstalled printer drivers but the Page Setup/Layout drop down screen is not available.
What application are you printing from? Some applications don't have a Page Setup.
The Layout panel is in the menu that contains the current application's name. For instance, if you are printing from Safari and the print dialog is expanded (use the disclosure triangle to the right of the printer's name if it isn't), clicking on "Safari" will show the Layout menu.
Hope this helps.

Snow Leopard and Canon MX860 ... More help please!

I've followed various threads concerning Snow Leopard and its incompatibility with the Canon MX860 printer/scanner. I have now downloaded the latest printer driver from Canon and the printer functions seem to work normally now on my wireless network.
I have some connectivity with the scanner, but the only way I can get it to scan is by going through System Preferences - if I try going via the "Canon Solution Menu" I get the error message "Cannot communicate with the scanner". Also, on the MX860's display panel the only option shown is the USB connection - it doesn't offer any PCs so, I guess, it's not finding my wireless network, even though the printer part of the machine is.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Thanks.

Hi,
I am running Mac OS X Leopard version 10.5.7 on a MacBook3,1 with a wireless network using an AirPort Extreme. I was able to print wirelessly to my new Canon Pixma MX860, but my Macbook was unable to communicate with the MX860 scanner. Interestingly, though, the MX860 scanner could communicate just fine the other way with my Macbook because I was able to manually scan from the MX860 console and have scans wirelessly sent as PDFs to my Macbook.
Here's what I did to scan wirelessly to the MX860.
I used Easy Install from the accompanying Canon Pixma MX860 Setup CD-Rom disk *version U1.4* (purchased the MX860 on March 22, 2010) and followed all of the setup instructions in the Getting Started for Mac manual. In my case, I have a wireless LAN network with one access point, the Airport Extreme, but I would follow the instructions that are appropriate for your setup.
I went to the Canon MX860 driver page http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=DownloadDet ailTabAct&fcategoryid=334&modelid=18121 and selected the MAC OS system files from the drop-down menu.
I downloaded:
_*MX860 series Scanner Driver Ver. 14.11.1*_ (Mac OS X 10.3/10.4/10.5/10.6)
mx860sosxsd14111ea8-2.dmg
(I didn't remember this file from the Easy Install, and I was unable to select this from the Navigator EX Scan menu, so I figured there was something wrong with it)
_*MP Navigator EX Ver. 2.1.2*_ (Mac OS X 10.2/10.3/10.4/10.5/10.6)
mpnexosx212ea8-2.dmg
(The version that came with the CD-Rom was an older version, 2.1.0, I think)
I installed both the Scanner Driver and the updated MP Navigator EX. The computer restarted after installing each program, so there were two restarts.
I opened the Solution Menu from the dock, chose Scan/Import Photos or Documents from the menu, and the Solution Menu opened MP Navigator EX (now version 2.1.2). From the MP Navigator Ex menu, I chose Scan/Import Photos/Documents (Platen), selected the Document Type, and voila, perfect wireless platen scans. When I checked the "Use the Scanner Driver" box, the Scanner Driver brought up more detailed scanning options. I was also able to scan a stack of documents using the ADF.
I know that this is a Snow Leopard thread, but I came across this thread when I did a search on exactly the same problem, so I wanted to post my solution in case it helps others. I think that the solution to your problem should be similar. If the two downloads specifically mentioned above do not help, perhaps try downloading and installing all of the other most up-to-date drivers/software on the Canon 860 page until something works.

How can I get rid of Snow Leopard?

When Lion was released I installed it in it's own partition on the HD of my Macbook Pro. I can change between starting with Snow Leopard or Lion by choosing either " start up with Mac OS X 10.6.8 on Mackintosh HD" or Mac OS 10.7.1 on Lion.
I am now happy enough to use Lion full time but I cannot seem to manipulate the partitions in any way. Do I need to re-install Lion on the HD over Snow Leopard? Will that get rid of the existing Lion partition?
Many thanks

Ok, this is what happened
1: You had Snow Leopard already installed which takes the first (and fastest) part of the hard drive
2: You added another partition, formatted it HFS and installed Lion into it, likely there was no Recovery Partition installed when this occurred, Lion takes the second half of the hard drive which is slower.
Now you want to get rid of the Snow Leopard partition and merge the two partitions together, unfortunately this is not going to occur with Disk Utility or even renaming Snow Leopard "BOOTCAMP" changing it's format to MSDOS and using Bootcamp to merge the two partitions.
Also you need to address having the Lion Recovery Partition installed and moving Lion to the front part of the drive and utilizing all the space on the drive again.
What your going to have to do is Carbon Copy Cloner both Lion and Snow each to their own blank HFS formatted external drives and disconnect.
Hold c and reboot off the Snow Leopard install disks, erase the entire boot drive (select the makers name) and format HFS, install Snow, go through the setup (don't transfer files or install programs yet) Software update to 10.6.8, use the AppStore to option click on Purchases and redownload the Lion installer and install. This will restore your Lion Recovery Partition. (if you use the Lion boot DVDs on a blank drive, it will install the Lion Recovery Partition too, just not when you install into a partition like you did before)
Once your fine on that, hold option and boot from the Lion Clone and clone that to your Lion partition and you'll be set.
Carbon Copy Cloning defragments and optimizes on the fly by writing the files and folders according to their alphabetical order in the root directory, thus Applications is first and Users is last (Users being the most subject to change). As drives are fastest at the very front and slower as you work inwards, Applications and System will be faster (as they are smaller than Users) and Users files loading and write speeds will depend upon how much there is, which a person can easily control. As a result the boot drive stays optimized longer.

The Snow Clone is a extra bootable backup and in case you decide to clone that to a second partition later.

Home computer is Lion, Work computer is Snow Leopard

My home computer is Lion, my work computer is Snow Leopard. My work computer needs to stay Snow Leopard becuase of a major program which runs the presspress department is not supported with Lion yet - so I cannot upgrade yet. I also jsut got an iPhone and want to use iCloud so that all three of those two computers and my iPhone sync together.
So, if I use iCloud for my home and my iPhone, what does that do to my work computer running Snow Leopard? Can I still get my mail just like I always do through "Mail" at work? I guess I just need to know what will change for my work (Snow Leopard) iMac?

You do not lose your mail account when MobileMe terminates in June. However, when you move to iCloud you will not be able to sync your calendar or contacts with the Snow Leopard computer. You may want to read the following:
