Extended duration after new Snow Leopard Update

My Mac Pro downloaded a new update the other day and now my Quicktime has a problem with viewing videos. For some strange reason, when I watch a clip or a movie, the duration of the clip or movie is extended by alot. IE: a 30 second clip's duration turns into 6 minutes. The clip itself is viewable, but after the clip ends, the last frame hangs and Quicktime just plays it through the 6 minutes.
Anyone else have this problem?

I am using MobileMe but have made the switch to iCloud.

  • MacBook Pro 15" 2007 won't turn on after leaving Snow Leopard update in the drive

    Hi Everyone,
    After installing Snow Leopard 10.6.3, I left the cd in the drive when I turned the computer off. When I tried to turn the computer back on again, the screen told me that I needed to restart the computer by holding down on the power button. So I did, but the message came up again. I did it again. The third time, the computer wouldn't turn on at all.
    I removed the cd by opening up my computer--something I had done in the past because of problems with the keyboard. (The keyboard was never fixed, and the trackpad didn't work either, so I used USB connections.The powerbutton never was affected though)
    Two questions:
    First, what would you say is the culprit in the first problem with the messages to restart the computer? How might I address this?
    Second, knowing the secondary information about the keyboard connections, how might this affect fixing the problem? Could the powerbutton now be affected, especially since I lifted the keyboard off?
    Lastly, I've looked into restarting the SMC, and turning on the computer without the button. I have tried the first of these two options, and will soon attempt the second (If anyone can send me a link to better explain turning on the computer without a button for my model, I'd be grateful.)
    Any more advice (short of bringing it into the shop!) would be helpful.

    Try powering up and push in your install disc(use your original install disk if you have it, maybe try the retail SL disc white with the cat as a second choice) holding the C key (this should make it boot from the disc) select your language, click continue, in the next screen in the menu bar click Utilities/Disk utilities, select (highlight your volume from the left column, default name is Macintosh HD, unless you renamed it) click the first aid tab, then click verify disk, if it comes up with errors (they will be in red font) if you get errors, run repair disk, run it repeatedly if necessary till it comes up with this disk seems ok (in green font)
    Then run permissions repair.
    Log out and reboot see what you get.
    You may have to reinstall the 10.6.3 OSX again, do this by powering up and pushing in the disk holding the C key and follow the prompts. if you have a successful install, eject the disc, and reboot. The next thing you need to do is run software update, there will be many and you want to do them one at a time. (use an ethernet connection as opposed to wireless, as there is much chance of corruptions. The first one to run is the 10.6.8 combined v 1.1, the keep running software update one at a time till there are none offered.
    Hope this helps

  • Problem with Pages 09 after latest Snow Leopard Update

    I upgraded Snow Leopard with the latest update this afternoon, and now I am having all sorts of problems with Pages. Most importantly, the Pages templates are all messed up, with formatting all screwed up and the typesetting a mess. Has anyone else experienced such problems with Pages after the update? I may have to revert back to pre-update Snow Leopard if this can't be resolved, since I use Pages for my work. Any assistance here would be appreciated!

    You can install the combo over the delta (Software Update version). I did after I inadvertently used Software Update on my MacBook Pro. That's what I get for trying to update 3 Macs at one time.
    Here is the link to the Mac OS 10.6.4 combo updater.

  • Macbook suddenly freezes once a while after newest Snow Leopard update?!

    Please help, my macbook (not the new one) just suddenly freezes once in a while, and I cant do anything at all during the 30-secondish lags. Its not just one app, its the whole computer. Please help!

    Any ideas on how this problem is started, or how to prevent it
    Your hard drive's directory structure can get messed up when forcing the computer to shut down. It's a good Idea to get DiskWarrior and run that periodically to rebuild the hard drive's directory. It's like a preventive maintenance.
    ALso, sometimes the Disk Utility will not repair the drive because the directory is too messed up. That's when DW does it's magic.

  • Flickering Blue Image in iMovie '09 after Snow Leopard update 10.6.2

    Hello Everyone
    I am having an issue with flickering blue images during transitions in iMovie '09, but only after installing Snow Leopard. I usually only have about 10-15GB of space to spare, as I only have an 80GB HD MacBook Pro Intel Core Duo. However, I have two 1TB G-Drives by G-Technologies. It was mentioned in another post that my HD space was the problem. It worked great in Leopard, so I'm not sure I agree that 10-15GB of HD space wouldn't be enough to do a 20 minute video using only pictures.
    Once I updated to 10.6.2 this issue began. I am in need of a solid app, and I presumed iMovie was my best bet for the money. I recently downloaded a demo of PulpMotion, but I'm still playing around with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as Apple users are among some of the smartest and most creative people I know.
    Thank you,

    Hello Sauble,
    I just got off of the phone with Dan, an Apple iLife '09 Tech Support Rep. Here is the advice he gave me, and so far it has worked!
    *Close ALL Open Apps*
    Go To - Home Folder (house)
    Go To - Library
    Go To - Caches
    Drag "Caches" folder to the trash.
    Empty Trash. (Not all of Caches will empty. Just press "Continue" until complete.)
    Shut Down Computer.
    Press Power button to start up your computer. Once you hear the Apple Chime - Hold Down The "Shift" key until you see 2 things (The Apple Logo, and The Spinning Wheel), Then Release the "Shift" key.
    Once your computer is back up, You Are Now In Safe Mode - Empty Trash Again.
    (Your Trash Should Be Completely Empty)
    Restart Your Computer as normal
    Once your computer is up, open iPhoto or iMovie and see if your photos or Projects still have the same issue with blue or green people. Hopefully, NOT. LOL!
    This should fix the problem. Let me know how it goes and if you have any information you feel would be necessary for this subject.
    I wish you well.

  • After OS X Snow Leopard update. Why doesn't quick time doesn't load?

    after OS X Snow Leopard update. Why doesn't quick time doesn't load?

    Try installing the 10.6.8 Combo update which contains all the latest updates for that OS.  Be aware that there appears to be no further support for Snow Leopard.

    Help! I've spent hours researching this and can't find a solution...
    I upgraded 3 Intel Macs in the house to Snow Leopard last weekend. All went differently...but all were successful. I found that the connection to my HP Officejet 7410 (connected wirelessly to 802.11g Airport Express (AEX) network) was "broken". Deleted then "re-intalled". Documents could now be printed. I then found out scan function was "broken". Figured out how to scan with new Snow Leopard "baked-in" driver and Scan tab...different, but it worked.
    Then, tonight, on the eve of my birthday, I was given the green light to purchase an Airport Extreme 802.11n (dual-band) base station (AEBS). I set it up and got 2.5X speed on the two 802.11n laptops in the household. Glorious! Then I went to work to ensure print and scan functions were still operational. Tried to re-connect HP OJ 7410 to wireless network...when it found the network it asked for the "WEP" key (on previous AEX network I was secured utilizing WPA2/Personal)...I entered the WPA2/Personal password (same as previous network) and got the error message "Key must be 5 or 13 characters OR 10 or 26 length with 0-9 and A-F (hex)". So I turned off the wireless radio and instead plugged the 7410 into the AEBS via USB. Deleted the previous queue and re-installed. Found the printer no problem but now without the Scan tab or function anywhere...despite following all the recommendations found both on the HP site and here in the Apple Forums. I print fine. Can't for the life of me figure out what the problem with the now lost again Scan function is.
    Only strangeness I can think of is the following: When setting up the network(s), I had the option of naming the 5 ghz band something different. I set mine up with the same name of the 2.4 ghz network with 5ghz in parenthesis (i.e. BobbyG and BobbyG (5 Ghz)).
    Sorry for the long post but we need the scan function in the house for my wife's teaching purposes. Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Very Respectfully,
    Bobby G.

  • Can't scan from my HPC4280 with new Snow Leopard

    I downloaded the new snow leopard and now my HPC4280 All In One scanner is not working. Printer and copier works fine. I've tried the 3 fixes from the HP support but nothing is working. I went to System Preference clicked on printer/fax, click on the left dialog box clicked on HP AIO to view the options and when I click on scanner it said not available or something like that, I then did what HP said in the" Important Gotcha" clicking on - at the bottom to delete, then clicking the + to add back, after I did that, the scan icon no longer appeared. Scanner was working just fine prior to the new snow leopard

    Hello,
    There is something called the HP print and scan doctor, it sounds like it might help resolve your scanning issue thought it would be worth a try. You can download it from the following URL:

  • Unable to print on HP J6480 after installing Snow Leopard

    After installing Snow Leopard I've been unable to print from my HP J6480.  I get an error message saying to check for updates from Apple and the manufacturer.  Apple shows no more updates.  I've added a printer driver v2.6 from Apple, but that hasn't helped.  Had no problems printing before this.  Any suggestions?

    Never mind.  Just went to Hewlett Packard site and the suggestion was to reinstall the printer.  I did so and it now works.  Of course, the reinstall wiped out other printers I had on there....Adding Snow Leopard has resulted in much more work than I thought it would be!

  • Snow Leopard update won't restart, and how do I install Lion anymore?

    Two questions, but the most pressing is the first one: after reinstalling Snow Leopard on my late-2011 Macbook Pro (due to Yosemite breaking Adobe CS6), I keep getting stuck on the purply space-screen. I've read in other discussions that this is somewhat of a common problem, but I have tried reseting PRAM and NVRAM, and installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. None of this has worked. I ran disk utility and nothing came up, so in my novice understanding of these thigns I'm at a loss - any ideas? I have successfully reformatted and installed Snow Leopard on my laptop several times in the past, so this is a mystery now.
    Second question: Navigating to my purchases in the Applications app, I can click on Download for Lion and Mountain Lion, but nothing happens. I tried "Option + Click" on the "Purchases" tab as that is supposedly the secret way to enable a re-download (however I don't remember having to do that a few months ago when I successfully reformatted my Macbook here). Assuming I ever solve the first issue above involving the purply-space screen, how do I upgrade to Mountain Lion (as CS6 and Rhino and Modo require it).
    Thanks everyone! Really appreciate it.

    Are you certain that you have a LATE 2011 MBP/  They all came with Lion installed.  Early 2011 MBPs came with Snow leopard.
    Do you have original Snow leopard installation disks that came with the MBP?
    You can check by entering the serial number of the MBP (on the bottom) here:

  • FACE TIME with new Snow Leopard

    I am currrently running Leopard 10.5.8 right now and i tried to download FaceTime on my computer...but found out that it doesn't work....because you need to upgrade to Snow Leopard?... so if i get the upgrade.... will it install smoothly? and let me run FaceTime with friends from over seas (Asia) without any problems?...Any issues with FaceTime and running the new Snow Leopard?... I need all the info before running out and buying the upgrade...thanks

    Hi,
    It is Intel Only (As In only works with Snow Leopard).
    Reports here vary mainly because people come here looking for help so it is a some what distorted view. (we never get to here from people who had no issue setting it up).
    Some have reported issues trying so set up "accounts" using Apple IDs they already use elsewhere.
    This may centre around the issue of using one Email address as th ID/Account emails and using another for people to Call (it's a bit like an Alias situation).
    Search for "Facetime" in the iSight Forum
    Same for the "Using Snow Leopard" Forum
