How to acces my HFS+ pertition with snow leopard in boot camp windows

Ive recently installed Snow Leopard on my mac, I also have windows 7 installed in a boot camp partition, I wnt to know if the support for the HFS+ file system in boot camp 3.0 supports windows 7 or ist only for vista and XP, because I cant see my Mac OS X drive when I boot from windows.
Do I need to change something from boot camp or Mac OS or is it supposed to work with any interaction from the user?

you need to install the new bootcamp drivers from windows. boot into windows, insert the snow leopard DVD, open it and follow the instructions.

How to make Canon printers work with Snow Leopard

Can anyone explain simple language (I'm not technical which is why I chose Apple) how I can get my Canon MP 980 printer/scanner to work with Snow Leopard.
Everything used to work perfectly and I'm beginning to regret the upgrade to Snow Leopard (what other suprises are waiting for me when I'm in a hurry?).
I have other Canon printers in various locations (MP 600, MP 530 and iP90). Will I have similar problems with all of them and, if so, is there a simple way to resolve the issues across the board?
I checked the Canon web-site but was totally confused
Any help truly appreciated.

According to Apples website; they should work. Please see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#canon
The driver version should be: 10.26.1.0 (or greater)
The above article was modified in December 15th 2009
If after installing the most-up-to-date driver, via the link provided, the issue persists, reset the printing system.
How-to reset the printing system:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/14001.html
Then install the printing driver supplied by Canon on Apples website here:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/CanonPrinter_Drivers_for_Mac_OS_X_v106
If that still does not work, reset the printing system again. Now go to Canon's website and get the driver(s) for mac there.
Canon's website for driver download for the PIXMA MP980:
http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=DownloadDet ailTabAct&fcategoryid=334&modelid=17357
There is the possibility the drivers on canon's website could be newer than apples. The version numbers, size of file to download, and release date all appear to be quite different.

+I do not own the same printer+, however I would suggest installing some of or all of the following 3 drivers.
If your printing via USB:
MP980 series CUPS Printer Driver Ver. 10.26.2.0 (Mac OS X 10.5/10.6)
If your printing via a Networked Printer:
MP980 series MP Driver Ver.1.0 for Network (Mac OS X 10.6)
If your going to use the scanner:
MP980 series Scanner Driver Ver. 14.8.2 (Mac OS X 10.3/10.4/10.5/10.6)
If you scroll down further, past the 'drivers', that same website from Canon also includes step-by-step guides/manuals for setting up the printer/scanner, both via USB & WiFi.
If the steps above did not resolve the issue, please respond back.
Good Luck!

How to install new reboot drive with Snow Leopard when new drive is unformatted and the only thing displayed is to choose to run the OS disc? It is impossible to choose disk utility as nothing happens.

Mac Pro (2006) running Snow Leopard crashed. Geniuses were certain it was bootable HD. Installed new HD and pressed option key with Snow Leopard in optical drive. Chose "Mac OS Installation Disc." Disc runs once for a minute, stops, runs again, then nothing. It is impossible to choose disk utility to format the disc as absolutely nothing but a black screen is visible!

pull all your drives so you just boot the DVD
If you have an ATI 5770 you cannot boot with less than 10.6.5
Ideally you would go through phone system and buy Lion, download and SAVE and create a Lion Installer media (DVD and flash memory are possible).
If you can't boot the DVD alone, let us know as gives a better idea.

How to restore a Classic iPod with Snow Leopard iMac?

We have replaced our PPC's with Intel's and moved on to Snow Leopard.
So how do we manage /restore our iPod Classic?

As long as everything that is on these iPod Classics have been moved to the new iTunes libraries on the Intel Macs, you can go ahead and restore them each to factory settings on the Intel Macs to associate them with the new libraries.

How can i hook up printer with snow leopard

updated to snow leopard ... no cannot print on hp printers. ....any help on how to get hooked back up?

Delete the Printer and re-add it. If the drivers are out-of-date, it may ask to download new ones in the process.

How do I search network drives with Snow Leopard?

I cannot find a way to search available network drives using either Spotlight or the Find command. This is a simple action in Windoze. How do I do it in Snow Leopard (10.6.8)?

I finally found a partial answer at: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1568
The rest of the story is that you have to change the back slashes in the Windows address to forward slashes in a Mac browser address field to get to the folder. NOTE that the Finder's Go command is useless for such connections.

How to share a Rendezvous printer with Snow Leopard

I have an old iBook running Panther and a new MacBook running Snow Leopard. I was finally able to share my old LaserWriter to the MacBook via my hubby's laptop running Tiger. Any way to get Snow Leopard to see the Shared Printer via Panther and Rendezvous. I using the line command in the support article below, and it saw the printer...seems to be connecting, but the job never prints. It even says: Print file accepted - job ID 946. But nothing prints. Any advice?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2275

Nevermind...nevermind. It did work. I think the job just had to sit in the queue for a minute. I wasn't waiting long enough. Finally!
To anyone else attempting this...using that line command in Terminal will do the trick!

Boot problems with snow leopard running bot camp

I have used this computer with boot camp for over a year, when I try to boot the mac drive it freezes. If I boot using the option key I can boot into windows normally. Even using restart from yhr bootcamp menu causes a freezup if i try to boot to apple. any suggestions?

I had this same problem -- machine would boot, but loop at two blue screens before the login window. I sshed into the machine and checked /private/var/log/system.log and /var/log/secure.log which showed a unexpected character in /etc/authorization. Basically, the authorization file was corrupted (most likely by bad RAM.) The solution was to replace this file with one copied from another machine. I didn't match models, but did match OS when copying the file (i don't know if this matters at all), and as soon as the "cp" command was entered, the login window popped up. <-- totes awesome. The machine has been reliable since (all of 15 minutes)

Does Snow Leopard Affect Boot Camp?

If you have a Mac with Leopard on it, and a Boot Camp partition with Windows XP, is it safe to upgrade Leopard to Snow Leopard? What I'm saying in, will it affect the Boot Camp partition at all, or will that be left untouched?
Basically, I want to know if there is any chance Boot Camp won't working properly, after upgrading to Snow Leopard.

Reuben,
Installing Snow Leopard will have no effect, as has already been stated in this thread. However, there are new Bootcamp drivers in the DVD One of the nice things about them is they bring HFS+ support to Windows. In other words, you can now access your installation of OS X, but as read only (to prevent Windows viruses messing with the "Mac side").

Windows 7 on snow leopard using boot camp 2.1/2.2 drivers

Hey Forum,
i am using snow leopard on my macbook, and I do not have the snow leopard install disc as I have lost it. I am intending to install windows 7 on it with my old leopard install dvd using boot camp 2.1/2.2 drivers? Can it be done? Ok in summary:
1-I partition my bootcamp using boot camp 3.1 on snow leopard,
2-process of installing windows
3-use my old leopard install dvd to install the drivers.
4-is it possible?
Regards.
Ala.

Hi,
Apple strongly recommends to use the BootCamp 3.0/3.1 drivers for Windows 7 and nothing else.
OSX Snow Leopard install DVDs can be bought at any Apple Store (and Amazon, etc.) for about USD 29
In summary:
1 - Works
2 - Works
3 - Might not work at all or you might have to use the 'compatibility mode' with the 2.x drivers.
4 - Try it
Before attempting you might wanna have/make a backup of your OSX, just in case.
Regards
Stefan

Installed Snow Leopard, now Boot Camp is Gone?

Just installed Snow Leopard on my Intel iMac using the Mac Box Set. I installed it on the Mac partition that already existed. The other partition is my Windows XP partition. The iMac no longer offers the choice of logging into OSX or Windows as it used to - now it just loads right into OSX. I tried to use Boot Camp Assistant, but immediately got a message that I must update my computers Boot ROM firmware before using the assistant. HUH? All Apple software updates have been done already.....what's going on here? What do I do?

I am having a similar problem. I just purchased a new Macbook running Snow Leopard and I can't find Bootcamp anywhere on it. This is my first Mac, but I was told it should be installed with the OS. I popped the Applications DVD and OS DVD into the drive but couldn't find an installation option for it there either. Wasn't able to find any download on the website, so this is beginning to frustrate me. Same issue? What's the deal? Any help is appreciated.

Mavericks upgrade from Snow Leopard broke boot camp. Help!

Since Apple made the newest version of OS X free, I decided to upgrade my 2010 MacBookPro from Snow Leopard. The installation seemed to go fine, but after the installation, I can't boot into my Bootcamp / Windows partition. From what I have read so far, others have experienced this issue upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion because the recovery partition apparently messes up something fragile between the MBR (Master Boot Record) and the GPT (GUID Partition Table). I'm not sure if that's what's going wrong here or not.
When I attempt to repair /dev/disk0s4 via the GUI Disk Utility, I get the following details:
Verify and Repair volume “disk0s4”
Checking file system** /dev/disk0s4
Invalid BS_jmpBoot in boot block: 6e0020
Volume repair complete.Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required.
Error: Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.
Here's a screen shot:
http://imgur.com/6XLYMOM
Well, I can't mount the partition to copy off my files, and I just want to be able to go back to using my windows partition normally. So I started Googling and found several different threads, but so far I'm a few hours into trying to get my system back, without a clue as to what the right fix is.
Upgrading the OS on one partition of a HDD shouldn't completely break another partition. Is my case just a freak accident, or is this a serious flaw in the upgrade process? Sifting through 250GB of data (1/2 my laptop drive) is going to take some of these tools a while... I'm not a happy customer today.
Aside from spending upwards of 12 hours reinstalling Windows and the dozens of other applications and data files from backups and recovering all the files that I can, does anyone know of any tools that can recover the lost partition should I find it? I'm going to leave testdisk running over the disk while I sleep to try and find filesystems.

I had Windows 7 64-bit installed, but the version is irrelevant. The problem here is that *something* Apple's installer did damaged my working computer. The fact that it damaged others as well and apparently hasn't been fixed since the release of Mountain Lion is very disappointing. Boot camp is a supported Apple product, and we pay a premium for Apple's computers so we should expect better than for an upgrade to blithely destroy our data and tools leaving us to spend days restoring. That's no upgrade. It's a minefield. I'm happy if some good comes from my sharing and it helps others make better decisions than to trust the installer not to screw up their week. Make sure you back up your whole disk image before installing. The upgrade is only free if your time is worthless.
I'm still looking for an easy fix to this problem. The disk scanning software I'm running now is taking a long time to search through the 500GB HDD for information. I fear that the addition of the recovery partition wiped out my NTFS partition's file system entirely. It's inevitable that I haven't backed up all my stuff and that I have lost some amount of data in addition to my time.

Snow Leopard and Boot Camp partition

hello all.
can i keep my Boot Camp partition intact when performing a clean install of SL?
does it allow me to format only the Mac partition of the HD, keeping the Windows (Boot Camp) partition untouched and fully functional?

I would move to SL if, and only if, I had an external drive with a bootable clone of my internal on it and had my files backed up separately on a second partition of the external. I think that there is enough risk in going to SL that such conservatism is warranted. I would not use time machine. Without getting into detail, it can be highly problematic. You will be able to extract your settings, files, and programs from your clone if you do the current version of an erase and install.
To erase and install, start up to your DVD and stop after selecting your language. Use the menus to start Disk Utility and erase you drive. Quit Disk Utility and proceed with your installation. At the end, you will be able to choose to reclaim your settings, files, and apps from the clone (leave the external drive plugged in during the installation).
If you do not like SL, then you can restore your internal using the clone. I would do all cloning and related restoration with SuperDuper. This app is up to date.
