Downloads disappear instantly Snow Leopard

For several weeks downloads to my Mac Pro (10.6.8 with Parallels) have been disappearing the instant the download completes, regardless of where the download is coming from. Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks,
JT

I really appreciate your effort to help here but I'm not convinced that the Amazon Cloudplayer is loaded with bugs. I've found that system to be flawed in the past and believe this download failure is partly due to that even if there is a problem also with the OS.
The file that entered the computer after the latest attempt to download some .mp3s was not an .mp3 but rather this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/dmusic/mp3/utility/generate-amz.html, https://www.amazon.com/gp/dmusic/mp3/player?ie=UTF8&landing=1&ref_=dm_cp_m_redir ect&
a very small file, which, when clicked on, does nothing but open an IE window that remaind permanently in a "Connecting..." mode.
I think I'll need to revisit this problem with another fresh example that steers clear of the Amazon Cloudplayer arises. Being able to download a file to the Mac is obviously an important function.
In the meantime, thanks for your attention to this.

How can i download and install snow leopard 10.6 on my mac?

how can i download and install snow leopard 10.6?

If you need to purchase Snow Leopard contact Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The price is $29.00 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
Snow Leopard from eBay
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
Snow Leopard General requirements
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.

I bought and downloaded the latest snow leopard and lost most of my pictures and most of my i tunes music. The pictures show in iphoto but when i try to open them I get a big "!" and when my music shows in Itunes but when I try to play it, it wont open

I need help... Since downloading the latest snow leopard, I cant open most of my pictures in iphoto or play most of my music in Itunes.

Before you bought Snow Leopard, did you check that your machine met the specifications? Have you enough memory, ideally you need 4GB though 2GB is okay,
Have you also applied the various software update updates which include iTunes and security updates.
Check in the Apple menu, about this Mac, and if your new disk shows as being 10.6.3 this is what to do.
Once you have upgraded to Snow Leopard, if your upgrade took you to 10.6.3 you will need to apply the Combo updater. Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 and follow with a software update to pick up the most recent security and iTunes updates.

I have Leopard 10.5.8. How can i download and install Snow Leopard or Lion? Thanks.

Currently, I have Leopard 10.5.8. How can i download and install Snow Leopard or Lion? Thanks for your help.

You need to *call* Apple at 1-800-MY-APPLE, as Ralph already said.
But "since one week" sounds like a direct translation of French "il y a". You should call your local country's Apple suuport and ask.
Here is Amazon, from a "snow leopard buy" Google search: http://www.amazon.com/Mac-version-10-6-3-Snow-Leopard/dp/B001AMHWP8

Where can I download xcode for snow leopard?

Where can I download xcode for snow leopard?

I am a paid member of the developer program, and Xcode 4.2 for Snow Leopard does not appear in the downloads area. I just joined today and received email confirmation, but perhaps this update to my account has not worked its way through to Apple's back-end yet. Nevertheless, it appears that Xcode 4.2 for Snow Leopard is not available any more to anyone, whether they are paid members or not.

Can't download files after Snow Leopard upgrade

Hello all,
yesterday I upgraded my leopard to snow leopard, since then I cannot download files with safari (also tried firefox, camino). When I click some link it looks like its going to start downloading but it doesn't. Most of the links are .dmg files. I have tried these steps so far but the problem still occurs.
1) Repair the Disk Permissions.
2) Downloaded onyx to clean the system.
3) Cleaned the safari cache and settings, as well as the plugins directory.
4) installed firefox and camino but they act the same.
5) I uninstalled iGetter (if I copy the link location and add it to iGetter I can download the file).
6) I created a new User to check if the problem was system wide or with the user account. The problem is the same in the new user account as well.
Any ideas what to try next ?
Thank you all in advance.
John.
ps: I have 10.6.2 and safari 4.04.

Try using your OnyX to clean the LaunchSevices caches, or use Terminal.
Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line to rebuild LaunchServices:
Code:
<pre class="alt2" style="margin:0px; padding:3px; border:1px inset; width:640px; height:34px; overflow:auto">/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user</pre>
Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know

Just downloaded FreehandMX on snow leopard - why won't it open?

After much too-ing and fro-ing with Adobe tech, cust service and sales, I've been told the only way to get freehand mx on my new imac (snow leopard) is to download the free trial version and after 30 days enter my S/N to make it permanent. I downloaded it when I bought it 4 years ago onto another computer and didn't make a copy.
So, I've installed it. But when I try to open it, nothing happens. Nothing. I've tried opening the program, I've tried opening a FH file, nothing.
Any suggestions? I will be lost without FH!! I just hate illustrator. . . .

Hello fellow FreeHand lovers, Long Live the King of Drawing Programs.
I just installed Snow Leopard and I have an old Scanner that loads some software on startup, the system told me it was incompatable & was installing "Rosetta" so that it would work which it now does. I opened FreeHand later & it works perfectly except for some Font issues & slow screen redraw, I think it's Rosetta that FreeHand needs to operate properly. Rosetta is an emulator that ensures Power Mac software still operates.
I don't know how you can force load Rosetta, I'm sure a google search or Apple can tell you.
I hope this Helps.
I have tried & tried but FreeHand still beats Illustrator hands down for ease of use & useful tools & features.
Cheers
Bernie Sherman

Canon iP6700D Tray Choices Disappear Under Snow Leopard

I have a Canon iP6700D. In 10.5 and earlier, one could select between the automatic sheet feeder and the cassette through selections under "Quality and Media". Those options seem to have disappeared under 10.6.1 using the September 11th Canon printer driver. Nosing about in Google, others seem to have the same problem with this and other printers under Snow Leopard. I've tried uninstalling the printer and re-installing but it hasn't helped.
Settings made under 10.5 and saved still appear in Snow Leopard, and are still able to access the cassette and the sheet feeder, but I can't find a place to CHANGE that for saved or for new settings.
Can anyone tell me where to find this setting, or where I might find a patch that will fix the problem?

The v10.26 driver for the iP6700D still has the Paper Source menu under Q&M on 10.6. I can only think that something is conflicting with your installation of the driver. I would trash the contents of the BJPrinter folder, located in HD > Library > Printers > Canon. Then install the v10.26 driver again and see if the menus are present.
There were two versions of printer drivers available for 10.5, v5.8.3 and v10.xx. If you had the version 5 installed and had presets based on this driver, then they will not work correctly with the v10 driver on 10.6. You should Delete these presets and create new ones once you get the Q&M menu appearing on your install.
Final note. You should be posting this question on the Snow Leopard forum. This forum is for Leopard printing and scanning issues.

Mail keeps disappearing in Snow Leopard

All of my mail, mailboxes and folders keep disappearing in Mail 4.1. Ever since I updated to Snow Leopard this keeps happening. I constantly have to remove and reenter my MobileMe Imap Info and I am afraid one day I will not be able to reconfigure and all my mail will be lost. PLEASE HELP!!! THANKS!

Having the same problem - random messages just keep disappearing
A colleague noticed that messages are just vanishing from her inbox in front of her eyes. She was in the middle of reading one when it just disappeared! It doesn't show up in any searches or other folders. Sometimes they re-appear when she quits Mail and re-opens it, but sometimes they don't which is a huge worry. I've tried re-building mailboxes when they don't re-appear but no joy. She hasn't got any rules or filters applied.
Could it be anything to do with the 'compact mailboxes automatically' option in mail - preferences - accounts - advanced? It's greyed out so can't change it?
She's got an IMAP account and mail is controlled by an Exchange 2003 server. Recently upgraded her OS X to Snow Leopard as it was an issue on Leopard too. Posted the problem on the OS X 10.5 boards too but got no answers. Running out of ideas and i'm getting flack for not knowing what's going on or how to fix it.
Why are you doing this Mail, why?!
Help!

IMAP emails disappearing from Snow Leopard Mail Server

I run IT for a publishing company with about 75 IMAP accounts on my 10.6.8 Snow Leopard Server running mail services. I received a call two days ago from a user claiming that his 7000 mails have vanished from his mail application. When I checked his account through webmail all his emails were gone yet none were in the deleted mail mailbox. Being daring I went into my backups and copied all of the that user's email for the following location from the server backup /private/var/spool/imap/dovecot/mail. Once I put the mail back everything seemed great but shortly after the emails began disappearing again. At a rate of about 100 every few minutes. Not much later all 7000 emails were gone again. I repeated this procedure several times with the same result. I since have had him access as a POP account so that as a temporary fix the email would reside on his Mac and not vanish. But I still can't figure out why this is happening. Any ideas or thoughts would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom Beausoleil

Did you find a solution to this issue? My mail server is doing the same thing. I've tried six migrations now, and have a couple of tickets open, but they all have issues. I have worked around all of them except the mail server problem.
I did some more digging; the problem appears to be that on a migrated server, it leaves all of your mail store in the old location, doesn't move it, and then doesn't appear to upgrade spam-assassin properly. The net effect is that the mail server gets the SMTP communication, tries to pass the message into spam assassin, and then it goes south.
I see errors like this littered in the logs:
Jul 31 13:53:10 mail org.amavis.amavisd[5927]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/O: tie failed:
Jul 31 13:53:10 mail org.amavis.amavisd[5927]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/O: tie failed: No such file or directory
Do you see anything similar?

Amazon downloader may prevent Snow Leopard Startup

I installed Snow Leopard on my two Macs about 3 weeks ago - no problems so far.
This morning , for the first time ever, in more than 5 years of using Macs , my Mac Pro failed to startup.
By pressing shift while switching on I was able to get it going in 'Safe ' mode ( I had to look that up!).
The only thing I have changed in the last 24 hours was to install the Amazon downloader - a version said to be OK for Snow Leopard.
I found that application and put it in the trash, having learned that some 'installers' leave things in the startup list. I couldn't find an 'uninstall' command for the downloader , but equally couldn't find any mention of it in startup file lists.
The Mac started OK after shutdown - I'm suspicious about the Amazon downloader and have advised the software company responsible.

Does anyone know where to find and download xcode for Snow Leopard?

I need to access Xcode but it's not in App Store anymore. Any tips will be great.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can register as a free Apple developer in http://developer.apple.com, access to the Mac Dev Center and download Xcode 3 from there with Snow Leopard compatibility. This is the only way of getting Xcode 3, apart from the Snow Leopard disc or the DVDs that came with your Mac
