How to update screensaver that no longer works with Leopard or Snow Leopard

Hello. I have a favorite screen saver that would no longer work when I installed Leopard...and it also does not work with Snow Leopard either.
Can anyone tell me if I might be able to fix it and make it Snow Leopard compatible? Could I possibly open it up in Xcode or some other program, and make the appropriate changes?
I also have several iTunes plugins that quit working when Leopard was installed...and I'd like to do the same for them.
Thanks!

check with the vendor of that screensaver to see if there is a SL compatible version.

only if it's an open source screensaver with source code included. impossible otherwise.

    Use an earlier version of Firefox, use Safari, or upgrade to a later version of OS X. Any Intel Mac can run Snow Leopard.

  • I wiped my computer, and now iTunes doesn't work. Does iTunes no longer work with Leopard, or did I do something wrong?

    I wiped the computer using the original OS disk so I could give it to my mom in July. iTunes worked when I did it. I just updated the system and tried logging onto iTunes for the first time since I wiped the memory. I can log on, but nothing appears on the home screen. It looks like I can download files from the internet and import them into iTunes, but I can't access the stuff I've purchased from Apple. Is the iTunes Store no longer compatible with Leopard? Do I have to purchase a newer OS to access my purchases? Or did I do something wrong?

    Hi, likely something else isn't updated, maaybe Safari?
    Is his he version you have, & Safari 5.0.3 or more?

  • HT4757 I have a canon power shot G6 that no longer works with my iMac??? Please help

    Up until 2 months ago my Canon Power Shot G6 has always worked with my IMac.  However, my system no longer recognizes the camera upon connecting via usb. Why?
    What should I do?

    Oh my God thank you so much. I spent the last week trying to figure this **** thing out and that's all it took. Sometimes the most simple explanation is all that's required but last looked at. Thank you for pointing out the obvious. I kinda wish Linksys would've pointed that out to me when I exchanged a total of 25 e-mails with them. Oh well. Thank you again. I am so grateful.

    I upgraded to Snow Leopard because I want to upgrade to Lion so that I can upgrade my IPad2 to IOS5! All sorts of problems with this - but one is that iCal won't work (I haven't completed upgrade to Lion yet) and I can't find an update to make Ical work with Snow Leopard.

    Oh and it also says:

  • I have a 4-way scroll button on my Acer that no longer works with the current firefox. Is there a way to make it work? It is frustrating enough that I will probably go to another brouser until this problem gets fixed.

    The button used to work until I upgraded, now it doesn't. The button still works for other documents and if I use Internet Explorer Browser. I have windows vista. Any suggestions?

    Thanks, Lawrence. I figured that was what I was going to have to do in the end. I have a few games with quite a few hours invested, and I worry that I'll lose the progress I have as they do not save to the cloud. I may have to bite the bullet, and just take the plunge to resolve this. I just want a way to easily transfer my "Home Computer" for my iPhone. My laptop is years old and in need of being replaced, and it's about time to upgrade my phone. These life events piling up are making me consider switching to a friendlier OS. I'm not using this as a threat. I just hope some apple high up will read this, and realize that we need alternatives. Life happens.
    Thank you both Paul and Lawrence. I clicked "This helped me" not knowing it would remove the option to choose "This fixed my problem" too. For anyone else reading this thread. Using the guide provided has done both. It has helped me and given me a fix to my current problem. Lawrence has also provided me with the last bit of information I feel is missing from wjosten's guide. That syncing will completely erase all of your data and reinstall it in one fell swoop. It's a great fix. Even if it isn't the exact one I wanted. Thank you again!

  • DVD-r's that played w/panther no longer work with leopard

    Since installing loepard on my G5, dvd-r's wont mount, the machine ejects them after about ten seconds. I have found no updates to help thus far, and could use suggestions. thanks

    dwwave,
    I'm not aware of any OS X system setting or user preference that would distinguish between a commercial (pressed) CD and a burned (dye layer) CD-R. The is a physical difference in that the two types of discs reflect the CD laser LED light slightly differently; commercial pressed discs are in general more reflective. If there's a thin coating of grome or dust on the CD optics, especially the lens, that could account for reading commercial CDs but failing on burned CD-Rs. A pass or two (or three) with a CD lens cleaner kit may suffice to restore operations. If a lens cleaner doesn't help, then by all means contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider since the Mac is under warrenty. If the drive's LED power putput is failing, that would give the same symptoms and no amount of lens cleaning would help; replacement of the drive would then be called for.

  • Shared Canon MP390 no longer works with Leopard wirelessly

    Please Help. I previously had Tiger on my new Macbook and setup a Canon MP390 through Windows SMB. The Printer is connected to a XP machine and shared. Once I upgraded to Leopard, the printer is gone, and I cannot re-install it. I have connected it directly to test the Leopard drivers and the printer was detected and printed right away. I have called Apple Support. They had many suggestions, but none of them worked. If anyone has successfully setup a network printer in Leopard that is physically connected to a windows xp machine, Please Reply. Thanks.

    Fixed. Add the TCP/IP print server service on the windows XP machine. Set the service to start automatically. Share the Printer. Then go to IP Printing in Leopard Print Setup and put the desktop's IP address, Printer name, & driver. It worked right away.

  • HELP!!!! My Hotmail no longer works with Safari v. 5.0.6 and my Imac Leopard operating system 10.5.8.  Please help me with any suggestions on what to do.  Thank you.

    HELP!!!! My Hotmail no longer works with Safari v. 5.0.6 and my Imac Leopard operating system 10.5.8.  Please help me with any suggestions on what to do.  Thank you.  I cannot find any new downloads for Safari that work with Leopard.  The newest ones only work with Lion.  My Firefox browser still works though but I would rather use Safari and cannot access any e-mails or send any e-mails via Safari.  This happened about 3 weeks ago and I thought it was just a glitch on Hotmail's site.  Now I realize Hotmail must have released an update that no longer works with Leopard 10.5.8.  PLEASE HELP ME!!!!  Thanks to anyone and everyone who reads this and attempts to help me.  I do not know what to do....

    Hi Sue,
    What exactly happens when trying Safari?
    They did change it to Outlook recently, but while not pretty, I can access mine with Safari 4.0 still...
    You can also set it up in Mail so you don't need a browser at all if you want.

  • HP LaserJet Profession​al M1217nfw no longer works with ipad/iphon​e's coupons.co​m and Grocery IQ apps

    I have had this printer for several years. It worked flawlessly until a unilateral automatic HP firmware update bricked it at the beginning of last year. After months of inactivity, it started working again last week after I deleted and reinstalled everything from scratch.
    Everything is back the way it was -- except the two apps I really value no longer work with it.
    My iphone and ipad -- which both worked flawlessly with this printer for years -- now do not see the printer at all for several minutes and then it finally appears with a red warning button that says "printer not recognized"
    I have not upgraded any OS.  The only thing that changed was on HP's end.
    I tried deleting and reinstalling the apps. No change.
    I have HP's eprint software, but that does not help with these apps, as they use an internal printing mechanism and the actual coupon with the bar code is never visible on screen (and thus unable to be printed via another method).
    This question was solved.

    Hi @krenster
    Welcome back to the HP Support Forums. I understand that there are two apps that no longer work with Apple’s AirPrint feature.
    I know you didn’t mention that you were getting this error, but the troubleshooting steps for “What if a 'No AirPrint Printers Found' message displays on my Apple device?” in the Printing Over a Wireless Network with Apple's AirPrint FAQs document should help resolve the issue.
    If the above doesn’t help, to better assist you, would you please supply some additional information?
    How is the printer connected (USB cable, ethernet, or wireless)?
    Are you able to print from other apps that support AirPrint?
    What version of iOS are you using on your Apple mobile device? I’m asking because apps will send out updates making them no longer functional with older operating systems. For example the HP ePrint app on iTunes was updated on October 25, 2014 and now requires the iOS device to be a minimum of iOS 6.0 or later. I have checked the two apps you mention in the thread title, and the Grocery IQ app requires your Apple device to be a minimum of iOS 6.0 or later and the coupons.com app requires your Apple device to be a minimum of iOS 7.0 or later.  If you are unsure how to check this, please follow the steps in Apple’s iPhone, iPad, iPod: How to find the software version
    Has there been any changes to your network, such as a new router, or a new internet provider?
    Thank you.

  • A fix for screensavers that don't work with Snow Leopard?

    is there a fix for the screensavers that no longer work with Snow Leopard? some of the developers have came out with new versions, but a few of them have been abandoned by their authors. Is there a way to run those screensavers in 32 bit mode?

    Is there a way to run those screensavers in 32 bit mode?
    Not without action by the original authors, sorry.
    I know it doesn't help right now, but like all other OSs in the past, these types of things need to catch up since the bar has been raised once again...give it time and there will tons of entertaining s'savers out to pick from.

  • I bought pages ages ago using an iTunes account that no longer works as the email address has been closed down. How can I now update my Pages app, if it asks me to sign in using this now defunct email address?

    I bought Pages ages ago using an iTunes account that no longer works as the email address has been closed down. How can I now update my Pages app, if it asks me to sign in using this now defunct email address?

    All apps are always tied to the account from whaich they were purchased and will always have to be updated using that account.
    Just because the e-mail account is shut down, has nothing to do with the itunes account. Why did you create a new account?  Why not just change the e-mail associated with the old account?

  • My iMessage no longer works with the new is07 update how do I fix this

    My iMessage and some of my applications no longer work with the new software update. How do I fix this?

    I called Apple Support after trying many fixes suggested online. They directed me to the procedure on the following page:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268?viewlocale=en_US
    I did the erase and restore option they suggested since I had tried a pile of ther things suggested on posts and blogs and they did not work. I even waited the obligatory 24 hours, thus the restore from backup option was what they suggested. I have a 64gig iPhone 4S and it took about 1.5 hours to complete the entire operation seeing that I am using about 54 gigs of that capacity.
    Warning: I lost all of my emails and all of the data files from one of my map programs so be sure you have everything that you really need from your phone store elsewhere before wiping your phone. I thought that the backup on my computer would restore everything but obviously NOT.
    Hope this helps.
