Coloured Labels problem, snow leopard

Hi,
Our studio uses coloured labels in our work flow however we have small conflict in which our new 27" imac is unable to change the label colour of specific folders that we use in our studios workflow so that the colour updates on our other macs connected to our company's server. The 24" mac and 15" macbook work fine together, however still cant get the 27" imac to work.
The 27" imac is running on snow leopard. The 24" imac & a 15" Macbook pro (2007) both running on original leopard.
The three macs are connected to our company's main server which runs on Windows 2003 server.
I recently migrated my user account from the 24" imac to the new 27" imac. My old user account on the 24" imac has been disabled and a new on is now been used
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Scott

Hi MFJ,
Try to scrub the current install, and install a new driver package via Apple Software Update:
1) Click on Go menu (Click the desktop, then look at the menu in the bar at the top of the page)
2) Select Applications
3) Select the Hewlett Packard Folder (if it is not there, then you can skip this entire step)
4) Select HP Uninstaller
5) Click on Continue
6) Select the printer. press and hold Control + Options + Command (Apple) keys on the keyboard simultaneously.
7) Click on Uninstall
8) You will get a popup window - "Are you sure you want to uninstall all HP Software packages"
9) Click on OK to continue
After doing this, readd the printer via the "+" symbol.

Not easily. You would probably have to hack up some system file and I don't think that knowledge is known outside of Apple.

Boot problem - Snow Leopard on USB flash drive

Built a fresh install of 10.6 on a USB flash drive. The steps I took to do this were:
Installing from 10.6.3 install disc onto an external firewire drive with minimal install option. Drive is hooked into a Mac Pro station
Booted to external drive, installed updates to get to 10.6.8.
Carbon Copy Cloaner the external firewire OS to a 32gb Patriot USB drive
Removed the external drive, then forced the station to boot to the USB drive
The behavior I get is a startup chime, then the grey Apple logo, but NO spinning gear. No other types of signs or symbols come up for roughly 5 minutes. The system then reboots itself and chimes. Then repeat until I hard shutdown and make it boot back to the Mac Pro's internal HDD.
I also tried installing the OS disc directly to the flash drive ( after formatting it ) but it does the same thing. Chime - logo - no gears - reboot.
The drive itself works as I've used it for other purposes and I can see the files on there. The access light is blinking so it appears to be trying to communicate with the computer.
Did I miss a step somewhere?

Thx!

If it's not your hard drive and it's not your system that leaves either your user account or your connection. But that wouldn't account for trash error messages.
Have you tried repairing your usser account by
Booting up holding command-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
From the menu bar choose Utilities then select Terminal.
At the prompt type resetpassword
Press return
The Password reset utility will launch (do not reset password)
Instead, click your Mac hard drive.
Then from the drop-down select the user account you want to repair. At the bottom of the window, you’ll see an area labeled ‘Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs’. Click the Reset button there.
The process takes a couple of minutes. When it’s done, quit the programs you’ve opened and restart your Mac.
If it's not that then you need to go to System Preferences > Users & Groups and remove your Login Items and test. I know the problem is that it's intermittent but you'll need to run w/o them for a while or in a fresh test account to see.

Colour shift from Snow Leopard to Lion

I initially noticed this problem within Lion and Lightroom 4 when printing to my Epson 4800. The colour shifts to a more pinkish hue in prints done in Lion. I'd originally thought this was unique to Lightroom, but the same thing happens to the same file when printed in Preview, so I'm assuming it ithe rhas something to do with Lion or the Epson printer. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this experience and if they have any suggestions. I've read other threads on this here, and I can confirm it's not a monitor calibration issue, and that my printer driver for the 4800 is the one for Lion, and that everything in Lightroom and the driver is configured identically in both versions of the OS.
I'm stuck, and figure the expertise for this is in this forum, so I'm sorry that it seems to be slightly outside of being an Adobe specific issue, but would appreciate any suggestions. I'm able to replicate the problem consistently by bouncing back and forth between the two operating systems. I'm going to try going back to a previous driver version to see if that makes a difference.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Chris

Problem solved. The previous driver for the printer - the 10.6.8 one, did the trick, so I'm going to assume this is an Epson issue. I have a 9880 here as well and it will be interesting to see if the issue recurs there. Of course, if I've missed anything here, please let me know, but I think this addresses the issue, and hope it helps anyone else who may have it as well.
Cheers, and phew.

Install Problem Snow Leopard

Hi all
I tried installing SL on my 2007 iMac, and about 25% of the way from the progress bar, the machine restarted. Then it appeared to continue, but after a few minutes I got a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark telling me its not possible to install SL on this disk.
I quit the installer and restarted the machine with the mouse button pressed, I got this idea from another thread with a similar issue, to eject the SL disk.
The machine has now restarted and everything seems to be back to normal, with my old Leopard OS.
Why does this happen:? How can I install SL?
J

Usually this message arises when the partition is not GUID. I recall one case like your's where the message was received, and the partition was GUID. In this case, the OP solved the problem by bootably cloning Leo to an external drive, installing Sno on the external, testing the new installation thoroughly, and then cloning it back to his internal. If you take this approach, note that you will end up without a Leo installation to go back to unless you partition the external and make two bootable clones of your Leo install--one on each partition. Or unless you have a TM complete backup on one partition.

Word printing problem snow leopard

When I print a Word document to my wireless HP 8600 printer, it will not print. It sits in the print queue and ties up the printer - but no printed output is produced. If I print from other MS applications such as Excel, they work fine. I usually have to reboot my iMac to clear the print problem.

DW menu item font problems Snow Leopard

I am having a problem in Dreamweaver with the font used for menu items. Out of PS, Fireworks, and Dreamweaver this is the only Adobe program where this problem is evident. I have tried many resolutions on the computer such as clearing font casche, diabling fonts, changing font charastics within DW, installing the latest PS font patch from apple, etc. If anyone has anything I can try to resolve this problem I would appreaciate it.

I've been using Lion since it's release, it's fine. Don't know what's holding you back.
Did you take a higher res screenshot and run it through what the font? From a glance I'm guessing at Conceilian outline, White Wolf. And upgrading won't solve this problem because the font will still reside on the system. An OS upgrade does not remove your custom fonts. It's going to be a process but you might just have to go through every outline font on your system.

Keychain Problem - Snow Leopard

I am unable to access a password on Keychain because access is restricted when I attempt to use my administrator password. I have deleted library permissions, restarted, and used Time Machine for an earlier version but no success. Any help is welcomed. Thanks.

Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item.

If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

Lacie burner compatibility with Snow Leopard

I have been corresponding with Lacie concerning the inability with Snow Leopard to use the Lightscribe software anymore. I was able to burn labels before Snow Leopard. Their reply is below and I don't have a clue what they're talking about. I hope someone in this forum can enlighten me.
Thank you in advance,
You need to update the silicon image mother board of the Mac to the latest version so the LaCie drive can be operated under Snow Leopard.
How to do that is actually out of our support field, you will need to contact Mac tech support and they should provide more information on the issue.

I've never used Lightscribe (my dvd drive is pre-Lightscribe); but I just checked their downloads pages and I saw
Lightscribe labeler 1.2.2 which "fixes issues with 10.6"
Have you tried that? I've scoured their support pages and the only reference to a possible problem with 10.6 has to do with a setup assistant for an external hard drive (if you use a setup assistant).
Their email support could be better (I'm being polite); I have a problem with their statement:
+"so the LaCie drive can be operated under Snow Leopard."+
If they are referring to any DVD drive, it is bunk - mine is old and works just fine with 10.6.3 (I just tried it). As for the "silicon image mother board", unfortunately, I don't have a clue - I'd inquire if they're sure they are referring to a Mac rather than a Windows machine because we call it logic board.

Kernel Panic when I insert Snow Leopard Disc

Hi, when I insert the snow leopard retail disc, my mac startup with a kernel panic, without log in logs folder. And on screen appear this.
http://img847.imageshack.us/img847/282/20111115195144.jpg

The 2011 iMacs were originally shipped with OSX 10.6.6 Snow Leopard and to my knowledge the Retail Snow Leopard DVDs are version 10.6.3 and thus too "old" for your iMac.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1159
Use the grey-labeled OSX Snow Leopard DVD that came with your iMac instead of the Retail one.
If you don't have it anymore, call Apple with ythe serialnumber of your iMac at ahnd and ask for replacement.

CS4, Snow Leopard, and Transparency Gradients

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard I cannot make gradients in Photoshop that have transparency in them. They always come out as a solid color. Anyone else experiencing the same?

Hi
I'm new to the forums and I had asked a question to an expert and now I
get inundated with other messages not pertaining to my question. How, might I
stop this from happening?
Thanks,
Thomas

I am definitely having the same problem, and I recently upgraded to
Leopard. - Very frustrating!
I have tried resetting my gradients. I find that all the gradients
containing transparency (even the default ones, say 'Transparent Stripes'), have
lost their transparency. Even in the little preview bar the transparency
is not visible, and it certainly doesn't work when applying the tool.
Any help regarding this issue would be much appreciated.
I'm running Photoshop CS4 on a Macbook Pro, bought earlier this year.

Snow Leopard: was this really necessary? aka "multiple problems"

ok, upgraded to Snow Leopard and I can't see any improvements (apart from Quick Look but haven't tried its functions.
I have noticed several subtle inconveniences though... (see below)
This is a brand new MacBook Air and it was already very quick but I thought it would be nice to enjoy a better performance! Unfortunately everything seems to have slowed down a little. And the fans seem to come on almost instantly when watching youtube for example. Previously you had to be doing that for at least 7-8 minutes before the fans came on.
So:
- the machine overall is noticeably slower.
- starting and shutting down now takes at least twice the time it used to.
- my iDisk has gone crazy. It syncs constantly without actually syncing. This is now driving me crazy. Why oh why?
- some of the basic system preferences didn't "transfer" with the upgrade (safari home page, wallpaper, background colour of folders etc etc)
- Word and Excel are very sluggish and crash if I edit anything
- when starting up a file called "recovered items" appears in the trash ...?
- right clicking on the dock icons comes up with a windows-like transparency of options! how do I change this back to the standard silver one?
- my internet connection seems a bit slower but haven't got proof of it, it just the whole thing feels slower
In short, for the first time my Mac feels like a windows laptop... very disappointed.

HI,
Check to see how much free space there is on the startup disk.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.* Insufficient disk space can cause some of the problems you are describing.
*Recovered files in your Trash after restart.*
The recovered files are temporary files used by Mac OS X applications. *Usually temporary files are deleted by an application when it no longer needs them*. If an application quits unexpectedly, the temporary files may not be deleted by the application. When you restart your computer, Mac OS X moves these temporary files to the Trash.
*"right clicking on the dock icons comes up with a windows-like transparency of options! how do I change this back to the standard silver one?"*
Might have to reformat and reinsatll 10.5 to do that.
For iDisk. Open System Preferences/MobileMe, select the iDisk tab. At the bottom of that window turn iDisk sync OFF.
Users are reporting that after several restarts your internet speed will increase.
Free internet broadband speed test here.
http://www.speedtest.net/ Click where it says; Begin Test
Download should be about 15.30
Upload about 9.95.
For the fans, try resetting the SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411
Hopefully this will help you out a bit and answered some questions... also, if you have any 3rd party (non Apple) application, you might need to update that software from the developers web site.
Repair disk permissions before and after any updates or upgrades.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
Six Things You Need to Know About Snow Leopard

Problems with AppleWorks drawing docs under Snow Leopard

Since I installed Snow Leopard, I've encountered two major problems:
(Problem 1) AppleWorks gets corrupted when dragging a picture file (.jpg or .png) from the desktop into a drawing document. Various dialogs (e.g. "Format : Document..." or "Format : Ruler : Settings ..." or "Options : Object Size ...") become uneditable. These dialogs will display blank boxes instead of the given object settings, and nothing can be entered into these boxes. AppleWorks must be shut down and restarted in order to continue work.
(Problem 2) When a formula (i.e. an equation) has been created in a MathType window, selected and copied, it takes ages to make AppleWorks the active application (spinning rainbow coloured ball appears and keeps spinning for a long while). Thereafter, it takes another century to get the formula appearing in the AppleWorks document when selecting the command "Edit : Paste".
Everything worked still fine under Leopard; under Snow Leopard it's a desaster.
p.s.
I've produced thousands of work sheets for my Maths teachings using the Drawing module of AppleWorks in combination with MathType (Design Science). Now I'm stuck since there is no decent successor of AppleWorks available:
* iWork doesn't feature a drawing module.
* EazyDraw doesn't collaborate with MathType (i.e. no OLE; inserted formulae cannot be edited by double-clicking).
* OpenOffice doesn't collaborate with MathType.
* Micro$oft Office doesn't feature a drawing module.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
I don't use AppleWorks as much as I used to & I've never had a need to use MathType, but I just tried dragging 3 images - a .png, a .tiff & a .jpg - to a new AppleWorks draw document. I had no problems resizing them using Format > Scale by percent & I had no problems using any of the other dialog boxes you mention.
Some basic troubleshooting you might try:
Whenever you do an update, it's a good idea to do two maintenance tasks, one for the system (Repair Permissions) and one for AppleWorks (delete preferences). (Thanks to Barry for this way to format this very common answer.)
To Repair permissions in 10.4.x, launch Disk Utility, found in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder, click on First Aid, then on Repair Permissions.
To delete AppleWorks’ preference files, go to HD > Users > Library > Preferences. Find and delete the file com.apple.appleworks.plist. Find and open the folder AppleWorks in this Preferences folder, then delete all of the enclosed files (with the exception of the Button Bar Preferences if you have customized the Button Bars). AppleWorks will recreate the preference files as it needs them. You should do this step anytime AppleWorks crashes or you force quit it.
The slowness is likely the "Recent Items bug" & it has been around since AppleWorks 6 was released in March, 2000. It can make it appear that AppleWorks has frozen or failed to launch. The user tip by Dale Gillard, AppleWorks slow? Spinning ball appears?, explains a lot.
Could you send me a copy of one of these worksheets? Perhaps I can see if I can easily duplicate one in Pages/Numbers/Keynote. Even though iWork doesn't have a draw app, all of the apps do have basic drawing capabilities.
