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.

Given what you describe you will have to upgrade Snow Leopard by downloading and installing Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. Then go to the App Store and sign in with your Apple ID. Purchase and download Mountain Lion to upgrade your OS. Then purchase the latest upgrades for the iLife applications which includes iPhoto.
Or you can go on eBay, Google, or Amazon and purchase another copy of the DVD based iLife.

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 my mac (using OSX Snow leopard disc)

I recently purchased an iMac10,1. I purchased it with OSX 10.8.4 (Mountain Lion) already installed... I contacted the seller asking for the original OS discs... he never replied :/. I have recently resold the Mac on ebay... When I went to wipe clean the computer I encountered a problem.. When I went onto this forum and called apple they encouraged me to purchase the original install OS (Snow Leopard). I have recieved snow leoipard in the mail... When I popped the disc in i recieved this message:
How do I reboot/resart/reformat the computer to factory settings?

Try doing this instead:
Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple
logo appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
If this doesn't launch the installer, the contact Apple about replacing the disc they sent to you.

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 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!

Migration problem, MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard, iMac with Lion

My husband just got a new iMac with Lion, and is trying to transfer the contents from his MacBook Pro, which runs Snow Leopard. After an unsuccessful wifi attempt, he ended up hooking his Time Capsule backup of his MacBook Pro to his new iMac. It seemed to work at first, but he's been experiencing computer squirrelly-ness. Icons and letters move without his directing them to (through either a Bluetooth trackpad, or a plug-in trackball he tried). I think both computers, both the sending and receiving, need the same operating system. Is this correct? He's trying to avoid buying Lion for the old MacBook, if possible. Thanks!

Thank you, Joe! As it turned out, my husband was able to resolve the problem by running some repair utilities and upgrading other software on his new iMac to be compatible with Lion, so he didn't get a chance to try your suggestion. That would have been his next step, and we appreciate your help.

Airport Dropouts with Snow Leopard Imac

I have a late 2007 aluminum Imac and have been experiencing severe airport dropouts since upgrading to Snow Leopard. I am wondering if anyone has found a fix for this? Many possible workarounds were mentioned in a substantial thread (link provided below), but there have been no solutions offered which have worked for me (I have tried them all). I would greatly appreciate any input that anyone may have regarding the constant WiFi dropouts that I, and all of the other Snow Leopard users I know, have been experiencing since upgrading to Snow Leopard?
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10843412#10843412

There are several posts with the same theme and no clear cut answers. A suggestion is to call Apple. Tell them you upgraded to SL and you get a free troubleshooting call. The feeling is that there is some bug in SL and the more people calling the more likely Apple will try to fix.

How to manage Remote Management settings with Snow Leopard Server

At my business, I manage our Macs' preferences using Managed Client as part of Mac OS X Server 10.6... one thing I have not been able to figure out is how to enforce settings for Remote Management. For example: I want only the administrator user to be able to control a machine, and only run reports but not copy software, etc.
I have tried configuring a machine correctly, then importing com.apple.RemoteManagement.plist and com.apple.ARDAgent.plist into Workgroup Manager. No luck. I wonder if anyone out there has solved a similar problem.

Open the Server Admin program (in the dock if nowhere else). It's there.

Printing problem using LR3 with Snow Leopard (IMAC i5) on Epson 3800:

My 5x7 crops are not being printed as selected and as shown on the print previews. The printed images cover the entire sheet but are somewhat cut-off as if LR3 had slghtly enlarged the file before sending it to the printer. After going through the print settings with me, Epson Support has assured me that their print drivers do not enlarge the files that they receive from LR. I am experiencing the same issue with both borderless and non-borderless prints. I am keen to send pictures to my friends and relations of my new grandson but have been working with this problem for a few days now. Can someone please help me?

My name is Syd and I work for Epson America, Inc.
When printing borderless, the image will have to be slightly larger to achieve borderless prints. The Epson printer driver has two options for borderless printing - Borderless Auto Expand and Borderless Retain Size. Each paper size will have both options available.
Borderless Auto Expand means the printer driver will expand the image automatically. There is a setting for how much the driver will expand. At the print window of the Epson printer driver, there is a setting called Expansion. Here you will see three settings; Min, Mid and Max.
Borderless Retain Size mean you are enlarging the image yourself, controlling what you want to cut off. The measurement of expansion is 1/8 inch to all sides, thus adding a 1/4 inch to width and height of the image.
Here to help,
Syd

HT4527 how do i sync my ipod with itunes on a new computer, when i don't have access to my old computer?

how do i sync my ipod with i tunes on a new computer when i don't have access to my old computer?

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Saving other data is also described here. How to back up your data and set up as a new device
You can also back up iTunes and restore it on your new computer How to back up your media in iTunes , but the iPhone will be erased anyway during the first sync.
