Fonts are slightly off position after upgrading to new Mac OS X Snow Leopard

I just upgraded from a Macbook that was using OS X Tiger to a new Macbook with OS X Snow Leopard. Now, when I open my flash files on the new computer, they are rendering the fonts slightly differently and off position. I am using the same software (Flash CS4) and the same font library. Anyone ever encounter this problem? Is there a fix for this? Thanks so much!

You are lucky they are only slightly off!
It seems that there is a serious problem with how the new Snow Leopard is reporting font metrics to all programs. Those from Adobe (particularily the ones for layout type like InDesign) seem to be the most affected.
I saw somewhere that it had something to do with some version of a Helvetica or HelveticaNeue font and that apple had give there font the same internal name as a different one and that was causing the problem. Some folks seem to suggest that replacing/removing the offending font worked. Others saw the problem mitigated, but not removed.
As far as I know the only solution is to go back to regular Leopard. But if you have a new machine that is most likely not possible.
Sorry.

My iPhone 4S no longer syncs after upgrading from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard 10.6.3

y iPhone 4S no longer syncs after upgrading from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard 10.6.3 - any solutions out there?

Thanks - got stuck with the upgrade to 10.6.8, but Apple Support was able to navigate me through that, the date settings caused a problem here.

Upgrade mysql in Mac Os Server Snow Leopard 10.6.8

Hi
The built in mysql server on Mac Os Server Snow Leopard 10.6.8 that I have bought is 5.0, I need to upgrade it to 5.5, how do I do that?
I followed these instructions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4006
Everything went smoothly except that the server is not upgraded still the same version.
Thanks

Chris is right. The only way, you can upgrade to 5.5 is by doing it manually. Apple will probably update to a later version with Lion. But MySQL version updates have been rare in the past.
Installing a different version is pretty straightforward, but you can not use SA anymore and have to configure the php, apache in the correct way. There are plenty of links out there which can help you.
So long.

What are the minimum hardware requirements to install both MAC OS X Snow Leopard and Windows on a Mac

Hi,
I want to install both MAC OS X Snow Leopard and WINDOWS on a same PC. Is it possible..then mention the minimum Hardware support to install both Operating Systems on a PC. I am waiting for relevant reply from Apple Support Team.
Thank You.

I am waiting for relevant reply from Apple Support Team.
Then you'll be waiting a long time. This is a user to user support site hosted by Apple. The Apple Support Team doesn't respond to posts here.
For Snow Leopard, you need an Apple computer with an Intel processor of any flavor. Here are the specs from the Apple Store:
System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
You'd have to contact Microsoft to find out what specs its OS requires, but I imagine the above would cover it.
Also note that Snow Leopard is only licensed to run on Apple branded equipment.

Time Machine in loop after upgrade to new mac

Hello everyone,
I just bought a new MacBook to substitute my old iMac.
With this upgrade I also went from OS X 10.5.8 (iMac) to 10.6.4 (new MacBook).
On installation I chose for the Migration Assistant to copy my data from the latest TM Backup.
Everything went fine.
Then TM asked if I wanted to continue to use my old backups on the new MacBook (or similar).
And I accepted. Then the first backup started ...
*... and now TM seems to be stuck in an infinite Loop. =(*
It goes like this:
1) Mounting Time Capsule/Sparsebundle
2) "Verifying XXX.XXX Objects ..."
3) "Preparing XXX.XXX Objects ..."
4) "Deleting old backups"
4) Cleaning up
5) Disk Image/Sparsebundle ejected
... and then it immediately restarts that same procedure.
Over and over again. Now for over 14 hours straight.
(I have already stopped the backup a few times, as I thought a restart of my Mac would fix anything.
Didn't help ... so now I just left it running for a night + half a day).
Also weird:
• The disk image is still called "Backup of iMac Eddy"
• And when viewed in the Finder/on the Time Capsule it's named "iMac Eddy.sparsebundle"
• There's no MAC address in that sparsebundle name ... (?)
• I changed my Mac's name in the System Prefs/Sharing ... with no change at all to time TM image ...
Anybody know a solution or can give me a heads up?
Thanks in advance

Yes, that will happen when Time Machine has to do a very large backup (such as, of a new Mac).
Because of the way Time Machine stores the backups, it's impossible to tell how much space will be gained by deleting a single backup without actually deleting it. So it deletes the oldest one, "compacts" the sparse bundle to recover the space, then checks again. That will continue until there's enough space, or only one backup is left (then it will fail.)
So, subtract the other sparse bundle and shared data from the TC's capacity. If the result isn't at least 2 1/2 times the size of the data on your system, you're going to have to delete the sparse bundle, so Time Machine can start over. (Since TM won't delete the last backup, it needs room for it, plus a new one, plus 20% workspace.)
If there is enough room, you can speed up the process a bit, by manually deleting a bunch of old backups, then compacting the sparse bundle, per #12 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
There is another option.
Connect a USB drive, partitioned so there's separate space for those shared files, so Time Machine can't use up all the empty space, as it will on the TC's disk). Let Time Machine start fresh backing-up the new Mac to the USB drive, and leave the existing backups on the TC's internal HD until you're sure you don't need them, then delete them. You can always browse (and restore from) them, via the +*Browse ...+* option. See #17 in the FAQ.

Upgrading to latest spec newer Mac with previous Snow Leopard Backup

Hi, would like very much to know if the following would be achievable.
At some point in the near future I may upgrade my Mac again from the current MacBook pro 17" unibody Intel core Duo (early 2009) running Snow Leopard 10.6.4 to either the latest at the time MacBook Pro 17", or iMac.
However, I have both a 'SuperDuper' all-files (non-sector) backup of my complete current OS X 10.6.4 partition system and an Acronis all-files (non-sector) backup of my current BOOTCAMP Win 7 64-bit partition system.
Naturally I could not bear to go through the long and painful timely procedure of spending days even weeks of rebuilding up my current dual-system and therefore would like to know the following:-
1. Could I restore my current dual backups (OS X and BOOTCAMP) onto either the then new MacBook Pro OR iMac?
2. If this is possible; would I then have to install necessary drivers from Snow Leopard/Windows 7 Update services or disks after restore in order to load drivers for the different CPU on the upgraded machine, i.e. my current MacBook pro being a core-duo and the newer machine likely to be an i7 or whatever is the latest at the time of upgrade and of course whichever devices are different on the upgraded MacBook Pro such as Graphics adapter, etc.
Advice appreciated, cheers.

Hi Diesel-X;
Instead of your plan I suggest you connect the two Macs together with a Firewire cable and boot your MBP in TDM by holding down the T key as you boot. Then boot your new iMac and use Setup Assistant to move your data and applications.
This will leave the new system on your iMac alone but only bring over the data and applications so that you do running into the problem of any system problems.

Fonts are no longer smooth after upgrading to 10.6.8

After the 10.6.8 combo updater, all my fonts appear unsmoothed.
Font smoothing is turned on i System preferences (but makes no difference whether it as actually ticked or unticked)
It is turned off only for fonts under 8px, however everything likes rough and jagged now.
Can anyone help please?

I'm not the only one:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3139316?start=0&tstart=0
I do not use the native screen res, which as been fine up until 10.6.8, but it seems changes in the video drivers in 10.6.8 may be what's up.
The thing is I need to be quite a distance from my displays as it's a recording studio, if I use the native res for my 23" displays the text is too small.
I am back on 10.6.7 now and all is well.

Problem with TimeCapsule after upgrading to new mac...

hi,
I bought a new UniBody MacBook just before Xmas, and turned off TimeMachine during the upgrade from my PowerPC G4. Since then, until now, I stupidly forgot to turn it back on. Now I did remember, it doesn't work! It tells me it it failed with the detail of the error message "The backup disk image could not be created." So I chose the TimeCapsule disk again, enter the password, the settings reset, force it to back up now, and AGAIN it fails...
My HD is bigger (232GB) than the free space on the TimeCapsule disk (178GB), can that be the issue? The used space of course is smaller (54GB).
Time Machine was THE reason I upgraded to Leopard, and right now, I'm stuck, so any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Nadine

Thank you Mark,
I found out in parallel this was my problem: not only was the computer not named in "Sharing"
[go to Preferences - Sharing - add a name in the top field which is visible for all methods of sharing]
but it also didn't have a DHCP Client ID - adding that second name did the trick
[go to Preferences - Network - AirPort - Advanced - TCP/IP - add name with only alpha-numerical characters in the DHCP ID field, press ok.]
Now I have to decide when to delete the old backup which it doesn't seem to reuse... looks from other posts like that could be tricky.
Happy Backuping
Nadine

Blue screen after upgrading to boot camp 3.0 (snow leopard)

after updating my vista ultimate 64 to the latest boot camp drivers, i experience a blue screen right before logging in (5 seconds after the password requester appears), the error is "systemserviceexception" i tried to uninstall all the apple stuff in safe mode, but boot camp itself and the updater can't be uninstalled, i also tried to start from a fresh copy of vista, installing as the first thing bot camp, same blue screen.
So i reinstalled and updated to sp1 and other patches, then boot camp, and got blue screen... now i am installing selectively only the drivers i really need from the SL dvd, i am tired to reinstall.

Are new Macs shipping with Snow Leopard?

If I order a new iMac today through the Apple store will it come with OSX 10.5 or 10.6 installed?
The Apple store says the iMac will ship with OSX 10.5 but they show a picture of the OSX 10.6 box set...
(I'd like to still get one with Leopard if I can)

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
PPP connections generally are done by dialup modem. Macs presently do not have built-in modems, though a USB modem is available to them from Apple, and some other vendors which do work with Mac OS X 10.6.
Any Mac though that can run Mac OS X 10.6, can also run any version of Windows. See the virtualization options here*:
http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#WINTEL
Boot Camp is included with 10.6.
By the way, MAC is an acronym for Media Access Control, a network naming convention. Mac is shorthand for Macintosh, the operating system and the machines made by Apple computer that run the operating system in question.
If you have further questions about Boot Camp or other virtualization see the Boot Camp category, and pick up of the forums inside of it at its header to be able to post your own topic:

My Mac is very slow, after installing mac OS x snow leopard

Hi
I am quite sad to note that the new Mac OS X Snow leopard software is a big let down. After installing i found my mac has become very slow, its taking a long time to process applications and stuff. It does not shut down completely, i get an error message most of the time saying i should press the power button for 5 seconds in order to shut down or off the computer completely.
Please advise should i just go back to the old version or is there a fix to this
Thanks

Did you update your applications as well? Which are slow? How much memory is installed? How full is the hard drive?

Direct Upgrade from 10.4.11 to 10.6 Using Mac OS X Snow Leopard Upgrade

Can I upgrade my MacBook (Intel Core 2 Duo) directly from Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger) to 10.6 (Snow Leopard) using the retail upgrade version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard?

Apple's site says you need to install Leopard first, then upgrade to Snow Leopard.

If your fonts are changing when viewed on other computers - epecially those running windows - you need to look at using web-safe fonts...
