Force quit command option esc does not work in snow leopard
When I try to use this command I am sent to front row. I can force quit throught the apple menu. This began when I upgraded to Snow Leopard.
This might clear up some wierd inputs:
PRAM RESET
Zap the PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

help!....i have macbook with lion 10.5.8 op because protools does not work with snow leopard, now i bought "traktor" which does not work with old op sys, can´t find a suitable update anywhere, what to do ? pete
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.

Juniper Java Secure Application Manager does not work with Snow Leopard
Anyone else having issues as well? I'm not using a client - its basically the Java based application manager for VPN connections to work (so I can remote desktop to my work PC).
Once logged in, it gives a "Restart your browser" error.
Thanks for your helpOK - so I got it to work. Here's what I did. Let me know if it works for you:
I wasn't able to follow the instructions exactly as noted in the original link I posted above.
The terminal command, specifically wget would not work - there is no wget.
I manually downloaded the Java 1.5 version, by following the link (just clicked on it). I 'unzipped' it and moved it into the library/frameworks/JavaVM.framework/versions folder.
So now the 1.5.0 is not an alias (as it is by default in SL), but the older version of Java.
I then followed the instruction related to changing the order in JAVA PREFERENCES.
The final stop - and I think this is key, is that I forced Safari to start in 32 bit mode. You can do this by going to Applications, highlighting Safari and hitting CMD-I. Then check the 32 bit option.
Start Safari, go to the appropriate URL and login. The Java Secure Application Manager should then start as it used to do in Leopard. You should be all set.
Hope this helps - let me know if someone has questions. -
ZTE AC8710 does not work on Snow Leopard 10.6.3
I have a ZTE AC 8710 card, recently purchased MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.3. The Reliance data card does not work even after installing the drivers 1.0.27 available on the website. The Network preference just detects the ZTE wireless terminal but not the AT and voice channel and I am unable to dial out. I tried the new generation ZTE card(2726) of a friend and that works perfectly with 10.6.3. I have tried the WWAN settings mentioned in one of the threads but even that did not work.After modifyng the .plist file from the terminal as mentioned in the forum, I was stil not able to get it working. The Reliance drivers detects the device as ZTE Wireless terminal but does not connect. The same device works perfectly fine with my Dell Laptop running windows XP. Any help appreciated.
P.S Reliance Engineers came to check, but said it is not working.Hi Brody,
Can you add the device to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Network on the left hand side, and move it up to the top device?
The Device is already on the top
Does it make any different if you zap the PRAM?
No Difference
Does it show up in the System Profiler?
It shows in System Profiler as a USB Storage Device
Does your Network Connect application have anything to say about it?
Network Connect Application says Driver Error -
Airporter does not work after snow leopard upgrade
I upgraded my old macbook to snow leopard, and the Time Capsule can not detect the disk drive on the Airporter. The laptop has no problem using airporter to get to the internet, and the airport utility can see the disk drive. After the install of snow leopard, I saw the time capsule, and it asked if I wanted the file recovered from the time capsule. This seemed to work perfectly, and made the upgrade painless except my time capsule does not work anymore.
I have the metadata.mds.plist but I do not have the Spotlight.plist as well. Regarding a fix, I had a similar issue with Spotlight's index when I upgraded one of my iMacs. A clean install, properly resolved the issue. I'd be curious if a reinstall of Snow Leopard would take care of the issue, as the A&I feature isn't there anymore I've yet to determine what exactly the install of SL over SL would do. My understanding is that the A&I is performed, it's just not called as such.

Really imovie HD6 DOES not work with snow leopard
I was planning on buying a new computer a mac pro quad
Does imovie HD 6 work on the new OS?
please help
thanks
scott"..Does iMovie 06 use QuickTime?.." ..I understand that iMovie uses some elements of QuickTime for display, for transitions, etc. (..Maybe you don't remember that until QuickTime was altered, a while ago, you could specify the duration of a transition in PAL in iMovie, but the timing matched only NTSC frame rates..)
"..I have QuickTime Pro 7.6.4 for OS 10.5.." ..I had - still have - QuickTime Pro 7.6.3 for 10.5 (Leopard), but I chose to keep that while installing 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
"..Should I back it up somehow?.." ..erm; d'you mean Backup using Retrospect or Time Machine, or d'you mean 'back up' as in revert to an earlier version? I'd think 7.6.4 is perfectly OK, and I always Backup to a separate disc before doing a big installation (..e.g; Snow Leopard).
"..I thought that 10.6 included QuickTime X, and deleted the older QuickTime.." ..It does include QuickTime X, but at installation it offers you the opportunity to keep your older QuickTime version, too. It doesn't necessarily delete the older QuickTime.
"..So it looks like iMovie 06 and 10.6 are "Good", but is the compatibility of QuickTime X also an issue here?.." ..Dunno. No compatibility problems seem to have arisen for me, but then I haven't used iMHD6 a lot since upgrading to 10.6. I notice you've posted repeated queries about whether still clips continue to play properly in iMHD6 with 10.6 ..I've had no problems with still clips: they run for the correct duration, and accept transitions before and after, etc. Maybe I have no compatibility problems because I still have QT7. Both of them - QT7 and QT X - work happily along with each other, and both can be open simultaneously.
"..(I STILL hope for a iMovie 06 upgrade someday.).." ..I don't think that day's gonna come. Steve looks forward, not back. -
Canon MP620 print driver does not work with Snow Leopard
Bought a Macbook & bundled Canon MP620 printer in Dec 08. Two days ago upgraded to Snow Leopard, and I can no longer print (the printer is not recognized), it only sees "Bonjour scanner" (the printer is a multi-function printer, copier, fax, scanner). Spent more than two hours with two different Apple tech support people over the phone; talked to Apple personnel in store. My printer is connected via Ethernet cable to a wireless modem, and I connect to the wireless modem via Airport. The phone tech person insisted that this printer is supported by Snow Leopard, but we reloaded the print driver from the Snow Leopard installation disk with no results. Finally my last resort, which worked, is to go to Radio Shack and get a cable that has a USB-A (printer) to USB-B (Mac) attachment. I was able to print. It is unacceptable for Apple to have this problem, as I went into the store four different times to discuss whether I should upgrade to Snow Leopard, and was told on every occasion that Snow Leopard will make everything run faster, more smoothy, etc. NOT! I want Apple to post a notice on their web site to a) confirm their print driver problems with Snow Leopard and b) to confirm WHEN new print drivers will be released.
Have a look at my last posting re Canon network printing.

Xerox Workcentre 3119 does not work with Snow Leopard?
I just installed Snow Leopard and my existing printers are not recognized. I had no problem with Leopard. I tried re-installing the printer driver but still no go.
This is frustrating. Can anyone help?Lassiter, here's your Oz url: "AUS Web Support," <[email protected]>
Note that it's only the printing that doesn't work. Scanning and copying both work OK. Files can still be printed from another Mac or drive with 10.5 or earlier if it has the appropriate program installed.
In response to the last post in this thread I have done everything suggested but Fuji-Xerox have not provided an update yet to make this particular printer work as a printer with SL. The message given in the print queue window is:
+The printer software was installed incorrectly. Please reinstall the printer’s software or contact the manufacturer for assistance.+
+Printer offline.+
Their latest installation package is for 10.5 and dated Apr 2008 but the ppd is Feb 2006. There are no other printer files apparently installed by the installer as are provided for other printers supported in SL.
The only permissions repair issue since playing with other installers is the usual batch for Adobe Flash Player!

Mac OS X 10.6.7
CS 5.5
When Firefox is open the zoom function (option/command/space bar) does not work in Adobe programs (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator). This happens only when Firefox is open and when I close it the zoom functions work fine again without having to restart the applications.
This is intermittent but happens quite frequently each day if Firefox is active.MDN doesn't mention -chrome being used for ordinary web pages: https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Mozilla/Command_Line_Options#Chrome
When I use
firefox.exe -chrome about:permissions
I get a usable window, but zoom doesn't work as you noted.
How about using an intermediate page and window.open() for the target page? You can (mostly) restrict the chrome of windows opened that way, but it will leave behind the intermediate window...

in iTunes 11.1 (I26) , I cannot find how to delete podcast listings showing undownloaded podcasts. Delete does not work. Option Delete does not work. Dragging to the trash does not work. Under Edit, Delete is greyed out. Mac OS 10.6.8.
Tom at the Genius Bar told me that Option Delete would work. It does not.
I had to upgrade to iTunes 11.1.(I26) because it is required with OS7 on my iPod Touch (5th Gen). I have tried shutting down iTunes, then shutting down the entire system. This is the first in many visits that the Genius Bar gave me a solution that did not work.
This is a big awkward computer locked to my desk. I would rather not unlock it and then carry it through a shopping center to the Genius Bar if i can avoid oit.
When I installed iTunes 11.1, I discovered that Ihad to resubscribe to virtually all of the podcasts that I had previously been subscribed to. That was a surprise.Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

IMac bocked on start up. Password forgotten. Command-option-p-r not working
iMac bocked on start up. Password forgotten. Command-option-p-r not working
"Bocked"? Is that a word?
The key combination you mention is for resetting parameter RAM or PRAM. Nothing really to do with passwords.
At what stage is it asking for a password? -
Does LiveType work with Snow Leopard?
I recently updated to Snow Leopard and the latest Final Cut Studio. When I went to open LiveType, I got the following message:
LiveType quit unexpectedly.
Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple.
Does LiveType work with Snow Leopard? Do I trash my preferences or reinstall the program from my original version of Final Cut Studio?
Any ideas?Am I the only one who feels like that is ridiculous? Apple provides the possibility to upgrade to the new Final Cut Studio from the original version of Final Cut Studio, but in so doing, disables a program that was working fine before the upgrade, and doesn't provide any avenue to fix the problem? Is that really the way things work in the world of Apple computing? Does that compute?
I hope that this is not right...
For some reason this reminds me of Thoreau...
"Simplify, simplify."
This seems to be the antithesis of "Think Different" doesn't it?
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward.
Maybe they have to be crazy.
How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?
While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
But in Apple's world, if you missed update number two then that's all you're going to get is an empty canvas, because the program used to put print on your canvas is no longer available. And if you go looking for another option, like for instance if you take their slogan literally:
They’re not fond of rules.
Then what is Apple going to do about it? I think if you read the news it's pretty obvious what Apple's going to do about it.
Is it any wonder that they dismissed their slogan, because it did not fit in with their business plan.
Any comments?
