Erratic mouse and blue screens: very disappointed with Snow Leopard

Since SL installation half of the times I get an eternal blue screen at startup and I have to do a hard power off and restart. But the worst thing is that the mouse pointer gets mad very often and makes the computer totally unusable. I have to restart to keep working, and it's not a problem of the Mighty Mouse (I have 2). Any solution for, at least, the mouse problem? I will have to waint until 10.7 release to get more reliability?

I dont' want to sound like I'm passing you off, but have you posted in the hardware discussion area?

  • How do I get to normal screen from blue screen on iMac with snow leopard operating system

    My iMac boots w white screen and then goes to a blue screen with no icons. I have snow leopard as operating system. I have held command key and r but can't get the repair menu. I have unplugged and tried to reboot. I have checked plugs for keyboard and mouse. Tried to reboot w snow leopard disk. Didn't work. Now can't get disk to eject. System is working because can still use wireless. Any ideas?

    Hello, CMD+r only works in Lion/10.7 & up.
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • 10.6.2 Died - Blue screen of death for Snow Leopard?

    OK. I upgraded Tiger via the SL Boxed Set yesterday. The install went pretty flawless - no hiccups or issues at all. It is a clean install. I had cloned Tiger to an external USB drive - that's why I'm able to type this message now. I upgraded to 10.6.2 this morning and still everything seemed fine.
    I had the migration pretty much complete. I was getting used to some of the new features, I had moved/installed everything, etc. I have played games, used mail, internet, photo software, etc. with no problems. Today while using the computer, I noticed I would attempt to start a program, but the icon would just bounce in the dock and would not open. The programs that were already open were working fine - Safari, Apple Mail, and Google SketchUp. So, I finished up what I was doing and restarted my computer. That restart was the last time I ever saw the 10.6.2 desktop.
    Upon reboot, I get the Apple logo with gray screen, then the blue screen, then it freezes. I disconnected all connected devices (USB/Firewire, etc.) and unplugged for 30 minutes - no luck. Booted from the SL CD and ran Disk Utility. Disk Utility found no errors and said all was great! I verified the disk and repaired it even though it said it didn't need it. Still no luck. Just the blue screen of death.
    Any ideas where to go from here? I can boot via my USB external drive with 10.4.11, but that doesn't really correlate to my problem. I REALLY don't want to have to reinstall everything all over again - it took me ALL DAY to get it all moved over and I still have some to do. Thanks for any tips or tricks.

    I suppose the new install just wrote over all the files, and it appears to have left all of my settings in tact. Now, if I just knew which one or few files was the problem, I'd be really satisfied.
    It might help to understand that the procedure affects primarily OS files, for instance by replacing the existing copies of the binaries the OS contains with fresh ones from the installer disc. It does not affect user created files & settings at all, except possibly for some system-wide settings that might have become corrupt. It won't affect third party items either, except that it may move a few of them known to be incompatible with Snow Leopard in a root level "Incompatible Software" folder, as explained in Mac OS X v10.6: About incompatible software.
    So, the most likely cause of your problem was a damaged or missing OS domain file that the installer replaced. How the file got damaged or which one(s) were involved is hard to say. Some third party software can do this, especially hacks & so-called system enhancements that ignore Apple's Developer Guidelines for appropriate entry points into the OS. Improper shutdown, like from a sudden loss of power, can sometimes do it. User error may be involved, especially if you use the Terminal to modify system files & settings or otherwise make changes to the root level folders normally managed by the OS (/System, /Library, & the ones not normally visible from the Finder).

  • Blue Screen after clean reinstall snow leopard

    I have a mid 2011 that came with Snow Leopard and disks.  I upgraded from there to Lion - then whatever came next and to Mavericks and finally Yosemite, which was a nightmare for me. I did not use disks of any of the rest.  So I just decided to take my disks and go back to Snow Leopard.  I did this and it asked to go to disk utility and repair both the HD and Permissions.  It came out ok, but there was an instance where looking at the list in HD repair, I saw Suid File System Library Core was moved and cannot be repaired. I went ahead and erased the Hard Drive. Then closed out and installed Snow Leopard. I'm not sure I did it right because I had to rename the new start up disk and typed in unnamed 1.
    after that I was able to start up to Snow Leopard. It worked fine until I tried to download all the updates. Then it didn't seem to restart, but just went to the sign in screen.  So I had to keep shutting down and turning it back on. No updates. One of times I started up, I got the blue screen after the apple and gray screen.
    Also on start up the apple comes up without the chime. Last night I got some instructions from a similar situation and tried to use my disk to a clean reinstall all over.  It didn't work, still the blue screen. (it does fine in safemode.)
    I need help to get this mac running.  If someone can help me......

    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
             you will be running a fresh install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process
             by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
             installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • Running CF9 and CF10 together on Mac with Snow Leopard

    This may be a very basic question, but I am trying to set up CF10 to run alongside CF9 on a developer installation on my Macbook with Snow Leopard. I can see both administrators, CF9 on localhost and CF10 on 127.0.0.1:8500. It seems that both are runing on JRUN because I can't run CF10 without having CF9 running.
    How do I set up a site to run on CF10 only? I can't figure out how to set up the virtual host files to have the site determine which version to run. If I set up the virtual host in Apache2 httpd-vhosts.conf file, it seems to run the site using CF9 and it breaks because it has to run on CF10. If I set up the server.xml file as if it was using Tomcat, then it seems to break the ability to get to the administrator app in either CF9 or CF10 to run.
    Any ideas out there to help me?

    Do you mean like this? First, copy the URL. Next, open up TextEdit. Here, you can paste the URL. Next, highlight the URL, right click it and select "Make Link". After that, press the arrow key or click in a blank spot on TextEdit. Select the link, and type in the new name of the link. You have now successfully created a hyperlink.

  • Aperture is very slow with Snow Leopard

    Hello,
    I updated my MyBook with Snow Leopard. The (big) problem is that Aperture 2.1.4 is now very slow when I make change to images. CPU usage is very high and Aperture is unusable.
    What can I do?
    Thanks in advance.

    zemitch - I also use one of the slowest machines capable of running SL, but my your graphics card may be different than mine. But I also store my masters on an external drive and that wasn't the issue.
    I found rebuilding the database of Aperture when starting up helps a bit, but the biggest improvement is to do cropping/straightening AFTER the other adjustments. That changes my workflow, but with no crop/straighten, the other adjustments didn't not show the horrible slowdown.
    See if that helps you.

  • MobileMe and RSS screen saver missing in Snow Leopard!

    In Leopard, in Desktop & Screen Saver, under Pictures, There is a screen saver called MobileMe and RSS, which allowed you to subscribe to picture RSS feeds and would display them as a slideshow when the screen saver activated.
    I found that screen saver option is no longer available in Snow Leopard. I thought I would just go to a Leopard machine and copy the screen saver file to Snow Leopard, but its not in the screen saver folder (Drive -> System -> Library -> Screen Savers).
    Why did apple remove this functionality? Is there anyway to get it back?

    Sorry, I get it now. My issue was similar but not the same as yours. I have never subscribed to picture-only RSS feeds so I guess I can't address your issue. As I said, I was trying to have other peoples' MM galleries show up in the list of screen savers, which I was finally able to do using my instructions (you don't need to belong to MobileMe to do this by the way, all you need is the username of a friend who does subscribe and has set up a MM gallery - for example, my username is "rbarline" in case you want to check out my "public slide show" gallery as a screen saver ... :~)
    Now I am curious about picture-only RSS feeds and would like to try one as a screen saver. Can you send me a feed URL to try? Maybe there is a way after all?

  • Erratic Mouse and Keyboard issues...with weird console log...

    Hello All,
    I recently installed Snow Leopard on my 2x2.8 Quad Core Mac Pro following a boot drive melt down. Apple replaced the drive via Apple Care and I re-installed all my apps. The only additional item of note is I have Lycom SATA four port card that required a driver update.
    Since setting up this machine with the new OS I am having massive issues with keyboard lag, erratic mouse movement and intermittent freezing.
    I've run tech tools deluxe and everything passes with that app. I cant find the original install disks so running AHT on this machine isn't going to happen.
    I've tried with and without the driver and the issue seems to still be there.
    On a whim I opened console and I am seeing this message hundreds and hundreds of times over...

  • IWork is all white and doesn't work properly with Snow Leopard

    Whenever I open Pages or Numbers 09, everything is displayed as white. The text colour is black but I can't see the blinking text mouse icon (which looks like I). I can open templates and can only see the text when I highlight it otherwise the screen is white and I cant even type in a blank document. It all worked fine until I installed Snow Leopard.
    I had similar problems with iMovie and iDVD 09 with transparencies not working. Could this be a problem with the graphics driver for my Nvidia 8800 GT? Or is there another way to fix it?

    Apple's instructions are:
    *Transferring files from one account to another on the same Mac*
    *You can use your Shared folder:*
    1) Log in to the account you wish to copy files from.
    2) In the Finder, navigate to the Shared folder. It is located in the Users folder.
    Copy any files or folders you wish to the Shared folder, such as items on your desktop, in your Documents folder, in your Music folder, and so forth. You may be asked to enter an administrator password when copying certain items. Note: To ensure that you copy items (as opposed to moving items), hold the Option key as you drag files to the Shared folder. Depending on item permissions, some files or folders will copy by default, some may move by default.
    3) Log out of the current account.
    4) Log in to the new account (that you are transferring files to).
    5) In the Finder, navigate to the Shared folder. It is located in the Users folder.
    Copy any files or folders you wish from the Shared folder to the desired locations, such as desktop, Documents folder, Music folder, and so forth. You may be asked to enter an administrator password when copying certain items.
    And I'll add an additional step and a warning:
    6) Having copied the files to the new account, Get Info, and change the ownership of them to your new account name. The easiest way to do this is to select each folder inside the user folder (ie Documents, Pictures etc). These should have the permission set properly to the new account owner. Click on the gear icon and select Apply to Enclosed Items
    The Warning
    It is safe to copy the contents of your Documents, Pictures, Music, Movies and Sites folders but since the problem is likely to be inside the user Library folder it isn't a good idea to copy it. You can probably safely copy your Safari bookmarks (not the entire Safari folder), Calendars, and Mail (but open the folder and delete the Bundles folder inside because it contains Mail plug-ins which might be the problem). I'd be very leery of copying any more than this since doing so might copy the problem into the new user folder. I often copy a one or two items from the Library folder at a time, restart, and then if all seems okay, copy a couple more. But I never copy the Preferences which means re-serializing a lot of programs and one or two programs might need to be reinstalled. The Applications Support folder is another one that may not be safe to copy over, but then again may be. It is one that I move into my new Library folder a couple folders at a time.
    In short, moving items into the new account via the Public folder is, itself quite easy though you do need to be sure to that the ownership gets changed to the new account. As I said, the data is easy and safe. The Library is where the problems tend to be.
    Incidentally it might seem easier to keep the old account and just moving the user Library elsewhere since that's where the problem is living. I've found that it isn't such a good idea for a number of reasons. Copying to the new account may be more time consuming but safer and in the long run better.

  • Magic Mouse not recognizing on MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.2

    I've tried everything I know how to do and now I'm asking for help. I just purchased the Magic Mouse yesterday and successfully paired it to my MacBook Pro. Left click and Right click both work fine, but I can't scroll or use any gestures with it. I searched the support forum and saw the need to download the Wireless Mouse 1.0 for Snow Leopard, which I did but nothing changed - still have the same preference screen as before. I'm running Snow Leopard and have all the latest software updates. I tried downloading the app "MagicPrefs" listed on the website, but the console shows that it keeps crashing. At this point, I'd be happy to get the expected Mouse Prefpane as shown in the documentation. All I get is the normal USB mouse settings - nothing else.

  • Unable to access gateway and DNS via VPN (L2TP) with Snow Leopard Server

    Summary:
    After rebooting my VPN server, i am able to establish a VPN (L2TP) connection from outside my private network. I am able to connect (ping, SSH, …) the gateway only until the first client disconnects. Then i can perfectly access all the other computers of the private network, but i cannot access the private IP address of the gateway.
    Additionally, during my first VPN connection, my DNS server, which is on the same server, is not working properly with VPN. I can access it with the public IP address of my gateway. I can access it from inside my private network. A port scan indicates me that the port 53 is open, but a dig returns me a timeout.
    Configuration:
    Cluster of 19 Xserve3.1 - Snow Leopard Server 10.6.2
    Private network 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 -> domain name: cluster
    -> 1 controller, which act as a gateway for the cluster private network, with the following services activated:
    DHCP, DNS, firewall (allowing all incoming traffic for each groups for test purposes), NAT, VPN, OpenDirectory, web, software update, AFP, NFS and Xgrid controller.
    en0: fixed public IP address -> controller.example.com
    en1: 192.168.1.254 -> controller.cluster
    -> 18 agents with AFP and Xgrid agent activated:
    en1: 192.168.1.x -> nodex.cluster with x between 1 and 18
    VPN (L2TP) server distributes IP addresses between 192.168.1.201 and 192.168.1.210 (-> vpn1.cluster to vpn10.cluster). Client informations contain the private network DNS server informations (192.168.1.254, search domain: cluster).
    _*Detailed problem description:*_
    After rebooting the Xserve, my VPN server works fine except for the DNS. My client receives the correct informations:
    Configure IPv4: Using PPP
    IPv4 address: 192.168.1.201
    Subnet Mask:
    Router: 192.168.1.254
    DNS: 192.168.1.254
    Search domain: cluster
    From my VPN client, i can ping all the Xserve of my cluster (192.168.1.1 to 18 and 192.168.1.254). If i have a look in Server Admin > Settings > Network, i have three interfaces listed: en0, en1 and ppp0 of family IPv4 with address 192.168.1.254 and DNS name controller.cluster.
    The DNS server returns me timeouts when i try to do a dig from my VPN client even if i am able to access it directly from a computer inside or outside my private network.
    After i disconnect, i can see in Server Admin that the IP address of my ppp0 interface has switch to my public IP address.
    Then i can always establish a VPN (L2TP) connection, but the client receives the following informations:
    Configure IPv4: Using PPP
    IPv4 address: 192.168.1.202
    Subnet Mask:
    Router: (Public IP address of my VPN server)
    DNS: 192.168.1.254
    Search domain: cluster
    From my VPN client, i can access all the other computers of my network (192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.18) but when i ping my gateway (192.168.1.254), it returns me timeouts.
    I have two "lazy" solutions to this problem: 1) Configure VPN and DNS servers on two differents Xserve, 2) Put the public IP address of my gateway as DNS server address, but none of these solutions are acceptable for me…
    Any help is welcome!!!

    I would suggest taking a look at:
    server admin:vpn:settings:client information:network route definitions.
    as I understand your setup it should be something like
    192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 private.
    at least as a start. I just got done troubleshooting a similar issue but via two subnets:

  • Programs very unstable with Snow Leopard

    'Upgraded.' I have programs quit all the time particularly when attaching, opening, and saving files especially when new file are renamed (save as). Any ideas how to fix this? Apple removed my last post saying this is 'feedback, that is weird. So I changed the wording; I hope this passes muster. Same problem with both IMac and Macbook Pro.

    Any ideas how to fix this?
    Try resetting some of the hardware involved (PRAM~NVRAM). See this Apple KB for details, etc.:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    Can't hurt to try, and apparently this has helped others recently.
    As well, have you done due diligence on the basics.... confirm sufficient free space on the HD; validate disk health via DiskFirst Aid, never install SL from downloaded torrents/betas, etc. Let Spotlight finish indexing; clear out old cache files and outdated/broken/duplicate fonts; find and delete related plists.
    Be aware that laptops are typically resource constrained - processing video as an example can tax the hardware and software. If you have large demands you might want to consider a desktop system.
    Also, the general approach at this time is to ask if you've checked for any problematic fonts (all languages) with Apple's Font Book (look in the Applications folder). Find and remove all duplicates also.
    Start there to be sure all fonts that are in play come out with a clean bill of health.
    Don't hesisate to perform wholesale deletion of old and/or little used fonts - be skeptical of anything that has come from Office 2008, including those related to an Equation Editor installation.
    By all means be sure any 3rd party apps AND plug-ins are Snow Leopard compatible.
    If issues continue, you may consider walking that portable (and your install DVD so they can verify it is not flaky as well) in to the nearest Apple store and asking for opinions from the staff.
    Good luck in any case.

  • New Macs not shipping with Snow Leopard?

    I just bought 2 Mac Minis for media playback use; I ordered them on 9/9 and figured they'd come with Snow Leopard (the Apple Store has a "ships with Snow Leopard" banner at the upper right, even).
    However, they both shipped with 10.5.6 installed, and a DVD in the box also with 10.5.6 - no sign of Snow Leopard.
    Any ideas on what's the best way to get this remedied? Visit a store, or phone support? I just spent 10 minutes clicking around support.apple.com but it kept sending me in circles.
