Firefox not working on snow leopard

downloaded 3.6.6 and seems to freeze when typing and using mouse - not crashing, but very frustrating - I require this for my business as safari is not supported. I was told a workaround is to download 3.5. I did and seems to be working better but still have periodic problems. any resolution out there?

Version 3.5.10 works great for me.
Have you tried any basic maintenance to your system?

HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install

HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install
Reinstalling etc does not work - does anyone else have the same problem or a clue as to how to fix this?

Keith,
I got a C6280 and the scanner does not work anymore. I am for 6 days in contact with HP. The last printer driver install form the apple web site does not open the image of HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.dmg because of an invalid checksum. The skipping of the validation gives and error in the install.

WxPerl not working in snow leopard

Hello,
wxPerl seems to be not working in Snow Leopard.
The command:
wxPerl -e "use Wx;"
Gives:
Can't find 'boot_Wx' symbol in /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/Wx/Wx.bundle
at -e line 1
Compilation failed in require at -e line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.
Is this a known bug ? Is there a work-around ?
Regards.

Thanks!
I did both of what you suggested (and provided very detailed specifics of the wxPerl broken code) and was told:
1st Case (Feedback): No response to my feedback
2nd Case (ADC bug report): No response after obtaining an ADC account and filing a bug report
Next, I wrote a letter to Apple, addressed to the "Macintosh Software Development Manager," providing details of the wxPerl broken code problem, the "Problem Details and System Configuration" error log from one of the many failures while trying to launch the TivoTool 0.7.0 application, remarked on the length of time that this wxPerl code has been broken (broken in 10.5.x & 10.6.x software releases) and detailing how this is disabling the TivoTool application and any other user that is dependent on wxPerl functioning. I asked that a trouble report be opened, the problem resolved, and the fix be made part of a software update. Additionally, I requested an estimated date for this resolution to be included in a software update.
I also sent a copy of this letter and enclosures, along with a cover letter, respectively addressed to Mr. Steve Jobs, asking that he provide the proper resources to clear this long time defective code.
Within a couple of weeks (on March 5, 2010) I received a telephone call from an Apple Executive Contact (named "Nate"), due to the letter addressed to Mr. Jobs. After gathering details on the broken wxPerl code, he promised to contact the software development folks and get back to me with his findings. Within a week of this initial contact, he again telephoned (on March 9, 2010) to say that he had contacted the software development folks, provided the information from my broken wxPerl report, that a trouble ticket was opened on the wxPerl broken code problem, and that the wxPerl broken code problem appeared to be a "low runner," e.g. not many users had reported the wxPerl broken code. Additionally, since the broken code was a "low runner," there was no target date to fix the wxPerl broken functionality.
He suggested, until the wxPerl broken functionality was resolved, that I might want to keep a 10.4.x System hard drive available, so that when I needed the wxPerl functionality, I could boot my Mac under 10.4.x, perform my wxPerl work (e.g. use TivoTool), and then re-boot again later, under 10.6.x to use the TivoTool obtained files.
He also suggested that I make sure that the Software Update System Preference be enabled to automatically check for updates ("Scheduled Check" tab). He added that I shouldn't rule out that the wxPerl broken code functionality might one day be resolved through a Software Update.
I was given a case number, for future reference and to allow me to check the status of my wxPerl broken functionality trouble report.
As my dad used to say, "That's all she wrote."
So, because this is a "low runner" (e.g. not many people have noticed and reported the broken wxPerl code), I'd be surprised (but very delighted) to see a wxPerl fix delivered by Apple in the near future. After all, wxPerl has been broken since leaving Mac OS 10.4.x (wxPerl broken in 10.5.x and 10.6.x software releases).
I last spoke to Nate regarding this issue on Mach 9, 2010.
I have not included Nate's telephone number out of a courtesy to Nate, as he is not a technical person, only a contact that handles issues which have been escalated to Apple executives.
The Apple Case Number assigned was: 153683921
Regards to all involved and all effected.
Thanks -

Are mobile internet USB devices still not working on Snow Leopard?

Are mobile internet USB devices still not working on Snow Leopard? I actually had to go back to my previous operating system to get this to work. I would however prefer to use Snow Leopard...if Apple & HUAWEI have finally got their act together!

There appears to be a problem with drivers for USB wireless modems with 10.6. I upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard and now can't connect to the internet with my wireless modem. I hope Apple sort this out soon. Or maybe it's Huawei that needs to put a 10.6 driver into its software.

According to Roaring Apps, there is a version of Protools compatible with Lion. But you may need Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to buy either Lion or ML on MAS. It looks like you need to get up-to-date with your OS and the apps too.

M-Audio MIDISPORT UNO USB Not Working With Snow Leopard

My Snow Leopard installation worked fine except until I plugged in my MacBook to my Casio Privia with the M=Audio MIDISPORT UNO USB cable to run GarageBand. I'm getting a MIDI error which states it can't work with the latest operating system. It doesn't surprise me though for all the software and hardware driver updates that have to catch up to such a new OSX 10.6. I went to the M-Audio site to download the latest driver, but the drivers only were compatible with OSX10.5.8.
This is an alert at the site
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Support Coming Soon
Avid/M-Audio working closely with Apple to offer support for OS X 10.6
Avid/M-Audio is pleased to hear that Apple has released Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. We’ve been working closely with Apple to bring Snow Leopard support to the M-Audio® product line, as well as the Pro Tools® product line and extended product families. We ask that all existing Mac users please wait to upgrade until we officially announce Snow Leopard support. Stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks.
This is a bit of a concern, because I need to get GarageBand running again with the MIDI hook ups. Is there a work around anyone knows about to get MIDI working with Snow Leopard.
Thanks Steve

I ran into a similar problem. I discovered one thing which may help you out though. It works OK with my Yamaha P200 keyboard but it does not work with my Yamaha NP30 keyboard. I looked at the MIDI stream and the only difference seems to be that the NP30 sends a continuous stream of MIDI clock, whereas the P200 does not. My theory is that this clock stream is somehow confusing the driver. I can't seem to disable the MIDI clock on my NP30 but if your Privia has the ability to disable MIDI clock, then it may be worth a try as it will probably fix the problem until they come out with the proper drivers.

Transparent PNG not working in Snow Leopard w Final Cut 3.5&4

I recently changed from a G5 mac to a Mac Pro. I had FCE HD 3.5 which supposedly is not supported in Snow leopard..although it did work.
Anyways, when dragging a PNG or PICT image to the base video layer, then dragging a transparent background(white)character image to a layer on top of that...I remember when i was in Macos X Tiger with FCE 3.5, after selecting the top layer and setting composite mode to SCREEN.. it would perfectly make the white background transparent. Awesome..
Well that hasn't worked since i switched to Snow leoplard. I thought it was a problem because i had FCE 3.5 so i bought FCE 4 yesterday
So i decided to upgrade and still doesn't work.
Instead of getting a transparent BG.. the top video layer where i placed the PNG image of a character with a white bg still has the white bg..and the inside of the character is semi transparent..
not what i want.
I even tried the new feature in FCE 4 where you go to Modify and Sepect ALPHA white. and that didn't work either.
What's going on.. ONly specific PNG formats have transparency in FCE???
By the way I'm exporting PNG out of a 3D program called DAZ Studio 3.That program doesn't have the ability to export as Animation CODEC( like in poser)or any other codec for that matter. it only exports movies as MOV or image series PNG or single PNG images.

Hi -
Here is a correctly formated PNG file with transparency.
You can download it to test in your sequence by Control-Clicking and selecting "Download Linked File As . . ." from the drop down menu [HERE|http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/Test.png]
You simply need to place it on a video track above any other clip to see if the effect works or not.
Please post if this graphic works for you.

HP LaserJet P1005 not working with Snow Leopard

Has anyone managed to get this printer to work with Snow Leopard 10.6? I have installed the latest drivers* from the HP website which BTW do not say they support 10.6 , see http://is.gd/2DfcE
*Not sure exactly what the version number of the drivers is. The website says they are version 1.0.7, but when installed they show version 1.0.6
I either get nothing coming out of the printer or an error "PrintJobMgr quit unexpectedly - This report will be sent to Apple automatically".

From this web page:
Here are some troubleshooting steps you can use if there is an issue:
Ensure the printer is connected, has power, has ink / toner, paper, and no alerts on its built-in display.
Network based printers should be on the same subnet; you shouldn't have to worry about this if your printer is on your home network.
Use Software Update for the latest available updates.
Delete the affected printer from Printer & Fax System Preferences, then re-add the printer.
If the issue persists, reset printing system as described below, then re-add the printer.
If the issue persists, contact the printer vendor and/or visit their website for printer software and support.

Address book and ical not working for snow leopard clients

We have upgraded our server to mountain lion from snow leopard.
At first glance all appears to have gone well, however, the ical and address book services don't appear to be working for snow leopard clients. These services DO appear to be working for lion clients.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I am at work right now and don't have access to my Mac. But I need to as if your Dad is on Windows Active Directory network? I also found these directions for Princeton's 2010 Exchange that might help. Did he set up the Address contacts & iCal Calenders were enabled when setting up the account in Mail?

BUG: Chord Grid Libraries not working in Snow Leopard 10.6.1

Hi,
I have Logic Pro 9 installed both on my Leopard and on my Snow Leopard partitions (both are full installs).
Chord Grid Libraries (I mean, the default one with more than 4500 chords) doesn't work in Snow Leopard.
It works as expected in Leopard.
Already verified the bug with other users over here in Italy
Message was edited by: Simone Coen
added BUG to the subject header

Here I did a workaround:
If you have a 10.5.8 on a Backup Harddisk , start from it, launch Logic9, export the Chord Grids, start again from 10.6.1 launch Logic and reimport this File

Deleting multiple items not working in Snow Leopard

I can select multiple events from a repeated event, and when I hit Delete to delete them, iCal correctly pops up a message asking if I'd like to delete only these events, or all future events. I hit "only these events" and it only deletes one item. My event is set up to repeat every week on Monday-Friday.

Finally got my Konica Minolta Magiccolor to work with Snow Leopard 10.6.1. What I had to do was go to the EU site and I found the Magicolor 2430DL driver that was newer than the one I was using in Leopard. The version you need to get is 1.8.1 and set it up as a HP Jetdirect - Socket and use an IP address that is on the same segment as your computer. Leave the queue name blank. Below is the link I used to find the driver. Select Magicolor 2430DL and it will load a lot of pages. The driver and instructions were on section 201 - 250. It was labeled as working with OS X 10.5 .

Some Videos and Games Do Not Work, Mac Snow Leopard

This is a problem I have actually had for a while, but it never really affected much that I considered important. Now it is just getting annoying.
Basically, certain video players and online games do not work. Most video players outside of YouTube will not work. The player will load, but the video never does. For example, the most recent video I have had trouble with is the Nickelodeon video player for The Legend of Korra. When I try to watch that, I get a black box, and a “Loading” type image pops up, swirls around once, and then disappears. After that, the whole thing becomes unresponsive. This is typical of many, but not all, video players I have encountered on the web.
I am not sure if it is related, but I have also had trouble with various games. Often time, they will work fine until reaching some transition point, such as the end of a level, and then they will become unresponsive. A good example here is the game Bloons Tower Defense 4. This is a game I know was responsive on my older system. But now, when it loads the level, it freezes up before loading the available towers to place and becomes otherwise unresponsive.An example is shown below. The top-left question mark box in the right-hand sidebar should reveal a dart monkey, and my starting money should be filled, but instead the game hangs up. I have had similar hang-ups on a number of games, so I am certain the problem is not just with this game.
As I said, I have had this problem for a while now. I have upgraded both Flash and my browsers a number of times since they started. I have these problems in all my browsers (Safari, Opera, Camino, Firefox), so it seems to be a problem with Flash. I have also tried uninstalling and re-installing flash and disabling all other browser plug-ins.
I am using a MacBook Pro with Macintosh OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5, with Flash 11.2.202.233. Current Browsers: Firefox 11.0, Opera 11.61, Camino 2.1.2, Safari 5.1.5
Any ideas what I could be overlooking?

Hey, it is getting them to work. Although I still have the “URL Not Found” error on BTD, and I get a whole different debugger error on Korra. But none of the errors prevent the associated items from working. Hopefully this will work in the other places I have had trouble with.
Anyway, the new error for Korra was:

Server tools not working on Snow Leopard

I just upgraded my home Intel Mac Pro from 10.4 to 10.6, and downloaded the 10.6.4 Server tools from the website (WorkGroup manager, Server Admin, Server monitor, etc.). Our Xserve is 10.6.4 also, so there shouldn't be any incompatibility (like there was when I wanted to manage the 10.6 server from my 10.4 machine). But when I double-click on any of these apps, nothing happens - something flashes through the dock once and then nothing (like when you try to run a 10.6 app in 10.4). No error, but no running apps either. What am I missing - why don't these run here? Is there a better URL to download them?
thanks,
Mike

Hey, I fixed it! I remembered (by trying in Firefox, where it works, by the way) that the Youtube Bulk video uploader uses Google Gears. I noticed that Safari had Gears 0.5.30.0 while the latest version I just installed for Firefox was Gears 0.5.32.0. I googled and found an old bug report somewhere saying that in a Snow Leopard beta, Gears worked in Firefox but not Safari, so I knew I was on the right track.
I tried to upgrade Gears in Safari by going to http://gears.google.com, but it did not display anything about which version I had or how to upgrade (as it does in Firefox) although if I looked at the page source I could see the text 'Your Gears installation is too old and needs to be upgraded'. So in the end I just deinstalled Gears (follow the instructions under 'If you need to remove a plug-in' in Safari help) and now I have the button back to upload a video, instead of just 'Loading...' I haven't tried it yet but it looks promising.

Flash, Adobe Air, Time Machine, Safari not working with Snow Leopard

Really need some help with this.
Did an archive and install of Leopard then installed Snow Leopard. No problems yet.
90% of Video sites would not work. Uninstalled and reinstalled Flash. Uninstalled ShockWave, could not reinstall with 10.6.1.
Attempt to install adobe air, received this message: "couldn't write the application to hard drive - please verify and try again." performed verify disk, disk permissions, repair permissions all ok.
Attempted to install Air again, same message.
Tried to use Time Machine to open Safari from a week ago, received message: I did not have permission.
Using Macbook Pro, 2g memory, 80g hd, with 42g free.
Backed up on ext. HD,
Oh, one more, getting a lot of spinning wheels when using Safari that causes a lockup and hard re-start.
I have an expensive piece of software that uses adobe air and I create videos for my business and I'm not able to do so now.
Can anyone give me any ideas what I can do.
Thanks,
Z

After a couple of days of problems with Snow Leopard and flash, safari etc... I figured out the problem is with my account.
I created a new admin account and everything seems to be working. Well almost.
a couple of things I've noticed are right clicking on dock icons does nothing, no option to quit or keep in dock.
Apple Techs', had me change my account months ago to fix a problem with safari crashing. It didn't really work and more problems resulted.
*So now my big question is: How do I move need items over to the new account.* I don't want to move everything over as I might bring what caused the problem in the first place.
What I need are several apps,(like ilife, iwork, firefox, devonthink, 1password etc.) downloads, desktop, docs, files, and book marks.
*What is the best way for me to do this?* Is there anything I need to do re: Snow Leopard on the new account?
I feel like I have a new and functioning Mac again just around the corner.
Looking for your help, thanks,
Z

Youtube Uploader Not Working on Snow Leopard???

I upload lots of things to Youtube and as of installing Snow Leopard on friday, I have not been able to upload anything at all. When you click the youtube uploader it says "loading" where the uploader normally appears and nothing happens. When you click the Bulk Uploader and click "add video" nothing happens. This is occuring on both firefox and safari. I switched over to my vista partition of bootcamp and it runs perfectly fine so that is the alternative I will have to use until this problem is fixed.
Is anybody else having this issue? if not, how can I fix it? I'm assuming it is something wrong with the operating system as it started happening as soon as I installed it.
I've tried reinstalling adobe flash player, I've rebooted several times, nothing seems to work.
