Drop box Cache Snow Leopard

Hello all.How can I see what files are in my Drop box cache folder in Snow Leopard so that I can clean out the cache?Are there any other caches that I should clean out periodically?Is there a free program that will clean out my drop box files?What does the Drop Box cache do?What files go in it?

Yes, very strange. If you see a few posts up I actually did get it to work the way I need it to. I called Epson and they had ne reset the printer settings through the system preferences. On my first try this did NOT work, however everything worked as it should in Preview (another image program) and since it did work there the Epson tech basically siad then it's not their problem - most likely adobe.
However just for the hell of it after I hung up, I tried resetting the printer settings again and sure enough it worked. I was able to change the color settings while using Photoshop to manage colors - namely I needed to print a B&W through the Advanced B&W setting. When they are grayed out I can't do this. But even while doing color I don't like that it's grayed out. I've been printing both color and B&W for the last 5-7 years with photosjop manageing colors. I know about double profiling and how to avoid it.
If this was by design from adobe, it deosn't make sense that I was able to access it a few weeks ago after resetting the printer settings. And if this was the case when did Adobe supposedly make the change?
I don't know what's different now, the only thing I can figure is that I had this issue sometime after I installed the lastest Epson print driver - hence the call to Epson... Maybe it's snow leopard weirdness, but I had snow leopard on my laptop and was always able to print sucessfully, but have not tried it since I got the new Mac Pro.
And the strange thing it works fine on other programs. I can have photoshop manage colors and they are not grayed out. Strange and frustrating. Time to set up the DR.
I guess I shoud uninstall PS and then try re-installing it.
thanks...

  • MacBook Pro (Early 2008) battery health drop after installing Snow Leopard?

    I installed Snow Leopard last Friday, when after the installation, I clicked my battery icon as I was looking through the new OS- and noticed that it said "Service Battery" which I hadn't seen before. So I looked in System Profiler and noticed that the maximum charge was around 3400mAh, quite a bit lower than the 5400mAh that it started with 14 months ago. So thinking that it might just be displaying incorrectly, I did a battery calibration (it was about that time anyway) as per the instructions on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490 and when I plugged it back in after letting it sit in sleep for five hours, it shows 2848mAh as the maximum charge. There is no way that it would have lost ~600mAh worth of charge capacity through one calibration. The battery only has 198 cycles on it, and it states on http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html that the battery is designed to have 80% charge capacity at 300 cycles. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there any way to improve battery health, short of buying a new one? Or does Apple cover batteries in cases like this?
    edit- I just noticed I posted this in the wrong MBP battery forum, but can't find a way to move it or delete it- sorry about that!
    Message was edited by: david.moore

    I installed Snow Leopard as well (made a clean install) and got the same message "check the battery". I followed the procedure on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490, since I had the same problem (my battery capacity was significantly low compared to the cycles, I had ~2800 mAh (60%) for only 60 cycles) and when I rebooted the computer, it even dropped down to ~2095 mAh (40%) !! *So the good advice is to _NOT follow HT1490_ advice...*
    I tried as well http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411 but it didn't helped...
    I guess I'll have to take a meeting at Genius Bar to the closest Apple store... Did anyone got his battery replaced ? I think this is one serious issue where Apple should either :
    1. Remove this bad advice's page and warn users against it
    2. Upgrade the battery's firmware (is there any?) or OS battery life detection
    Anyway it's very annoying that when doing a "recommended" manipulation, it even makes the problem worse !!

  • Can't update quicktime or java I have snow leopard

    I have a mac mini intel box with snow leopard (used to be leopard). I recently changed from opera to firefox and the plug in checker is complaining about having a outdated version of quicktime and java. I did software update and it says no new software available. I have quicktime 7.5 I guess-whatever came with the lion os update cd disc. Going to sun for java I find they don't support anything older than lion. Must I now buy lion just to stay secure ?. I can't afford a new mac. And don't want to have to rebuy all my programmes again and lose my files. Maybe lion will let me keep my programmes and files like snow leopard did.
    Is the plug in checker just being incorrect? I disabled java for the time being. But I can't remove quicktime. I use it a lot.  I have a intel core 2 duo processor and 1.5 gig of ram. I guess I could up it to 4 gig if I had to "upgrade" os yet again. There's nothing that really interests me in Lion or Mavericks but I don't want security issues--I'll just try to disable the silly gingerbread in the new os's if possible. I don't use social media, or stream to a tv or media box.  And I'm to poor to own a smart phone or ipod or ipad. My computer is my tv. I don't want my internet connection to slow down due to stuff I never use connecting to the internet in the background.

    You would need to upgrade OS X:
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • Snow Leopard Question

    I bought my macbook October 2007 and qualified for the Leopard update disc for around £7, as I just missed out on Leopard being pre-installed.
    I notice that Snow Leopard is available for £25 if you already have Leopard installed. What I want to ask is will my macbook be eligible for this with it originally having Tiger on? It has all the specifications to handle Snow Leopard, and there is nothing to say I can't,-it just says must already run Leopard.

    The MacBook will be able to have Snow Leopard installed on it.
    As long as you have Leopard installed on it, you can purchase the £25 Snow Leopard. People who haven't purchased Leopard and installed that on their machines need the Mac Box Set Snow Leopard installation. But according to your post, you already did.
    Only those who purchased Macs after June 8, 2009, qualify for an 7.95 pound Snow Leopard:
    http://www.apple.com/uk/macosx/uptodate/
    And those that purchase Macs after August 28, 2009, if they shipped out of the factory should normally get Snow Leopard free.

  • Snow Leopard on 2011 mini?

    Can Snow Leopard be installed on a new 2011 mini? Has anyone tried this?

    Neil -- your reply is a deal-killer for me, just as I was about to click to finalize a high-end (I know, I know...) Mini order with the i7 and HD 6630M graphics, plus 8 gigs, etc.  Goal was to be able to run FCP X on the road without having to carry a MacBook Pro -- I have two and they are in some ways more problematic for me in running previous FCP than a Mini properly configured.
    In fact, the question I was about to ask in this forum was, "Will the HD 6630M work properly on a 2011 Mini if I temporarily dump Lion and go back to Snow Leopard, pending some bug fixes and tweaks in Lion...?" You just mooted those questions, for sure. No purchase until or unless there's a way around this conundrum.
    Anyway, I have been watching LOTS of pain in these discussions from folks running FCP X under Lion, and so I had planned to drop back to Snow Leopard immediately upon arrival of the 2011 Mini. Is incompatibility of Snow Leopard and 2011 Minis final, locked in stone, or situational and over-come-able? The no-Snow is in the specs and chip compatibility of the machine, a 64-bit-kernel gotta-have issue, or based on user experience...??  What breaks it?  Thanks...

  • I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on my MacBook. Constantly dropping internet connection or message "error connecting to the network" comes up. No wireless connectivity issues with windows 7 laptop or iphone.

    I have a MacBook with Snow Leopard 10.6.8. The last few weeks it has been constantly dropping internet connection, and one of these messages appear on the page: "Safari cannot open this page because the server where this page is located isn't responding" or "Safari cannot open this page because you are not connected to the internet" comes up. I will check Wifi and I am connected. No wifi connectivity issues with iphone or windows 7 laptop, this doesn't happen with either of those devices. I have unplugged and reset router, cleared cache, still happening. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

  • Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner

    Hi, I downloaded a trial version of a product called Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner from the Apple Download site. I since choose not to use it, but something else. I deleted the program BUT, a VERY annoying yellow box keeps popping up every 2o mins or so asking me to Register/Buy it. I cannot locate where this is sitting on my Mac, and cannot email the company as it wont allow you to (their website) any ideas???

    The instructions are on the right side of the page that opens if
    you goto the link above...
    Here is the content:
    How do I uninstall Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner
    sLCC is an application, and thus uninstalling is fairly easy. A key to removing it however is to ensure that Automatic Maintenance is off. Instructions to do this are detailed in the users manual. Once Automatic Maintenance is off, just drag sLCC to the trash and it is uninstalled. If you wish to be thorough, you can also trash the Preference files as well. If you have already deleted sLCC, please feel free to download it again to complete the removal process.
    If you prefer, you can remove sLCC manually instead. In the Terminal or Activity Monitor applications, kill the sLCC engine process. In the System Preferences, remove the sLCC Engine from the Login Items. In your Preferences, delete the sLCC related files.

  • Drag and Drop export of vcards to Mail no longer works in Snow Leopard

    In 10.5, you could drag a vcard from the Address Book application, drop it on the Mail icon on the dock, and the vcard would be automatically attached to a new mail message. This no longer works in 10.6. Tested on a G4 iMac running Leopard and a Mac Pro on Snow Leopard. Kind of a bummer, as I used to send new contacts to business partners all the time this way.

    There have been other reports of drag and drop to the icon not working like it did/should.
    I imagine rewriting it for Docksposé caused a lot of code changes. Hopefully, they will fix the things that have fallen through the cracks.
    I forgot to mention the only workaround I can find is to create the new message first, and then use Docksposé to drop the vCards onto the new message.

  • No Snow Leopard in the box

    I bought a Mac Mini in a Mac Store in Palo Alto three days ago but it didn't include the Snow Leopard, only 10.5.6 even though the website explicitly says it would. How do I get it updated for free online as I don't live close to a Mac Store.
    Chris

    This can happen if that computer had been sitting on the shelf for a month or more.
    Therefore, no Snow Leopard in the box.
    I would take it back where you bought it when you can and they should give you the Snow Leopard.
    Otherwise, you would most likely have to spend the $9.95 if you use the Up-To-Date program as linked above...
    Which is cheaper....??
    Driving to Palo Alto or spending $9.95 on the update???

  • HT3275 I have attached an external hard drive via usb to back up my OSX Snow Leopard.  When I open Time Machine and click set up time machine, I then click Select Disk but there is nothing to select. No information is in the box. I do have Airport Extreme

    Not sure how this all works but my problem is this:  I have attached an external hard drive to my mac snow leopard 10.6 and am trying to back up my computer through Time Machine.  When asked to select the drive as part of the set up, there is nothing to select.  The box is empty. How do I set up Time Machine for back ups with an external drive? I am running Airport Extreme WI-FI (VERY confusing as I did not know the difference between Extreme and Capsule).  Now to add another component...how does Icloud figure into all of this if I want to back up my computer systems, documents, etc?  Is this a simplier way as long as I download Lion?  Help!!!

    Hello,
    Problem is likely the Format of the External drive, for TM it needs to be Mac OSX extended Journaled & GUID Partition scheme for Intel based Macs...

  • I just upgraded to Snow Leopard, and I have Aperture 3.1.3.  Now after I import pics from my camera I get a dialog box so large I can't get to the eject card button.   I have to force quit Aperture.  How do I fix?

    I just upgraded to Snow Leopard, and I have Aperture 3.1.3.  Now after I import pics from my camera I get a dialogue box so large that I can't see the eject card button.  Consequently, I can't get rid of the dialogue box without having to do a force quit on Aperture.  How do I fix?

    I can drag the dialog box, but I can't move it up far enough to get to the eject card button.  The dialogue box contains all the jpeg Numbers I am trying to upload.  It has never done that before.  It used to be just a smal dialogue box with no jpeg numbers in it.
    It is even difficult to get to the Finder with the Dialague box is open.  I have to force quit aperture.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

  • Up Grade from Tiger 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard (Box Set)

    I have a two part Question:
    Do I have to do a full install or can I perform a partial install and not to up grade to snow leopard using the Box Set. I read stories the snow Leopard up grade is having issues with certain older programs (i.e. Photo shop, Word etc...) Is this true?
    I assume the best method to install would be a Clean and Install or is there another way that it's done? The reason I need to up grade is because of my new modem -Airport Extreme, which requires Leopard.
    Thank for your insight..

    [Here is a thread describing a successful upgrade install from Tiger to Sno.|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2185421&tstart=125] And, here are my thoughts about moving from Tiger to Sno. I recommend that you use the upgrade method if your Tiger install is a very good one. Otherwise, I would do an erase and install. The backup process I would use in either case is described below.
    Your Mac must meet [these general requirements|http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html]. I would not upgrade to SL unless I had an external drive with a bootable clone of my internal-drive boot volume on it. I think that there is enough risk upgrading to SL that such conservatism is warranted. I would not use time machine for an installation backup; I don't trust it enough. If you do not like SL, then you can restore your internal using the clone. In doing an upgrade install, the clone is your data backup and fail-safe device. You can clone with Disk Utility, SuperDuper, or Carbon Copy Cloner. If you do an erase and install, then the clone also is your migration medium.
    An upgrade install is performed by installing over your existing installation from the desktop or having started from your SL DVD. Doing so requires you to have a GUID partition. To proceed, start the installer, choose your language, start Disk Utility, make sure your partition is GUID, quit disk utility if it is and continue your installation. All your data, users settings, and apps will be present after your upgrade, except that incompatible programs will be archived in the Incompatible Software folder. It the partition is not GUID, then you will have to do an erase and install.
    If you do an erase and install, then make sure your partition is GUID as described above. After you install, then you will be able to use set up assistant to migrate you data, apps, users, and settings to your new SL install. Also, if you have to make your partition GUID, then your drive will automatically be erased Mac extended (journaled). Finally, post back if you choose to do an erase and install. I have more info to provide.
    You probably will want to install at least two of the optional install items on your Sno DVD, Rosetta and QT7. You can install either from the Optional Install Items folder on your on SL install DVD.
    Leave your Ethernet cable, if any, in place when installing, but unplug all peripherals except those needed to install.

    Macbook Pro Snow Leopard; WiFi keeps dropping. Issue is Macbook is not getting an IP address from the wireless routers DHCP Server. Tried all options in the forums. Reboot, changing security, PRAM reset .. nothing. Problem keeps happening. No issues on XP laptops and Nokia phones.
    Even the iPhone, iPod and iPad seems to be fine. It is just the dang gam it Macbook pro and it is driving me crazy.

  • Macbook Pro, Snow Leopard , can't drag and drop?

    I have a 13" Macbook Pro and I am unable to drag and drop with my trackpad but I can with a wired mouse.  I have reinstalled Snow Leopard and checked every conceivable setting and checked the trackpad.  The trackpad will do everything else but 'drag and drop".  Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

    Sounds as if it may be a hardware issue with your trackpad - I would take it into your local Apple Store or an AASP and let them run diagnostic tests on the trackpad. If you've already reinstalled SL, that would be my suggestion.
    Good luck,

  • How can I delete the Auto-Fill Cache For My Email in Snow Leopard?
