HT1449 Ok. I have an '06 Macbook Pro still running on Snow Leopard 10.6.8, and iTunes 10.6.1. I did everything in this article leading up to step 14. I thought I trashed the right file, now I can't access my music which is on my external drive now. Help!

As stated in my above Subject field. I have an older Macbook Pro and I was attempting to move my iTunes media file using this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1449
After getting to step number 14, I "thought" I selected the correct media file to trash from my system. Now I have my correctly copied Itunes file on my external drive that can't be accessed when I reopen iTunes. How can I get iTunes to open to my new destination now? I went to iTunes > Preferences > Advanced and selected the new location then click OK, but it still won't access.
What am I doing wrong here?

I had the same problem and found the answer!
In Outlook, go to the Help menu, then Check for Updates.
I downloaded & updated Outlook, then it upgraded my database, and everything worked out fine for me!
Good luck!

Is it possible to mirror the display on the Macbook pro which is two years old to my iMac which is four years old? Macbook pro is running OS X Lion 10.7.5 and the iMac is running OS X 10.6.8 (10K549). Neither of them have Thunderbolt ports.

OK, well I would go with what Apple says in writing but if you want to take a trip to visit the Genius Bar that won't hurt.
Good luck, I'm 99% certain you will find I was correct but please let us know.

My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words.

My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words and looks them up via dictionary. I currently have a wireless mouse connected and I am still having the same problems.
I fee like I may have a virus or my laptop is perhaps being accessed remotely. All of the sharing options are unchecked.
HELP PLEASE
Very worried!!

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

While the 2011 MBP's that shipped with Lion can be made to run Snow Leopard as long as you have the appropriate installer disk for 10.6.7 or later, yours is a 2012 MBP and most likely can never be made to run Snow Leopard because the necessary hardware support drivers (e.g., USB 3.0 support) simply aren't a part of that OS.

Macbook Pro V10.6.6 Snow Leopard

I have a Macbook Pro V10.6.6 Snow Leopard. It looks like the OS crashed and it's not booting anymore. It's getting stuck at grey screen. I tried lot of things (could not boot in safe mode, Disk Utility do not show upon boot, Internet Recovery is failing with -2000F error, ...). It looks like i will have to reinstall the OS. However, I do not have the CD the came with the Macbook. Where can I download it from?

10.6 isn't available as a download.
If you've lost the Snow Leopard DVD you can buy it again at the Apple Store.

Airport not maintaining internet connection on my D-link router with Macbook Pro 5.5 with Snow leopard

Airport keeps throwing me out of internet connection on my D-link router with Macbook Pro 5.5 with Snow leopard. Pls if anyone has a solution to this then let me know

I'm using my PC notebook because connecting with my iMac is IMPOSSIBLE!!! If I get connected at all, it's worse than dial-up speed.
We are wireless via a D-Link DIR-625 (new) -- but was having some problems before with a netgear. Problem much worse now. My computers are not the primary computers. My sister gets that coin toss. She is a PC user. I share with her using WPA2. When the iMac "wakes" the signal bands are strong, but when I go to a page I lose all signal strength. And several times a day I get a message indicating an error joining the network -- arghhhhh -- HELP!
Is the problem with D-Link or Mac? Thanks for any help.

Hello, lustige luka.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The Personal Hotspot feature using USB should be as simple as connecting the device to your Mac via the USB cable when Hotspot is enabled. Here is some more information regarding this feature and an article that will provide some troubleshooting steps if you are experiencing an issue.

I upgraded my MacBook Pro to OS X Snow Leopard. Now I can't open any videos. I get a "Blocked Plug-In" message. When I go into Preferences - Security, there is nothing to check or un-check to unblock them. Now what do I do?

I updated my apple Id, now I can't access my music

My old apple ID was an email I don't use anymore, so I decided to update it. When I logged in to appleid.apple.com, it prompted me to change my password because my old one did not fit the new requirements. After I changed my password I changed my apple ID. I verified that it had changed with my new email and everything was all set. I set everything up on my phone with the new ID (after some trial and error), but now when I sync my iphone to itunes it asks me to authorize purchases I made with the old ID. No matter what password I put in, it won't accept it, not the original password (before it prompted me to change it) or any subsequent. It then redirects me to iforget where it offers to send me my password. I check the old email, but the password never comes (it doesn't end up in spam either). Now, I can't access any music I purchased under the old apple ID on my phone and I have a feeling that when it comes time to update paid-for apps that I purchased under the old ID that will be impossible as well. If anyone can help me I would very much appreciate it. I know other people are struggling with this issue too.
Also, I didn't know which community to post this to, so this question might end up in a couple.

You might want to try contacting Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click See All Products and Services>iTunes>iTunes Store>Passwords & Security Questions>Lost or Forgotten Apple ID password. They should be able to explain what's going on and help you reset the password for the old ID if necessary. The call should be free.

Strange behaviors on MacBook Pro before & after installing Snow Leopard

I am not sure if this is even a Snow Leopard issue. We have a MacBook Pro that up until recently had been running Tiger. A problem developed whereby we could not access the iTunes store. A message that the store was "not available at this time" came up repeatedly while at the same time another computer was able to make connections with it. In addition, when Firefox was opened, a prompt appeared to drag the Firefox icon to the applications folder. Even after this was done, the same prompt would appear during subsequent sessions.
We updated the OS to Snow Leopard, and the iTunes store problem was resolved. However, there are some other unusual things going on with other applications.
1. When Photobooth is opened, we get this message: "There is no connected camera."
2. When we open any of the Office applications, we are greeted with: "To open Microsoft Word (or Excel, PowerPoint, etc.), you need to install Rosetta."
3. The above-described issue with Firefox still occurs frequently. Even though Firefox is located in the Applications folder, there is now a volume named Firefox on the desktop. We can't get rid of it.
We don't know for sure if the Photobooth and Office issues were present right before the Snow Leopard installation, but they had worked properly in the past.
One thing we did do is a verify and repair of permissions. There were MANY that needed to be repaired.
In addition, right around the time SL was installed, the computer was frequently shutting off without warning. The mouse was also operating erratically. It was found that the battery needed to be replaced, as the existing one was expanding and was actually disrupting the operation of the mouse pad. Could this battery have been the source of these problems?
What are the next steps we should take?

I suppose your expanding battery problem could have caused some or all of these problems, but most of them sound like software issues.
If I were you I'd try a few things:
1. boot from your snow leopard install disk and repair your startup disk with disk utility.
2. repeat the repairs until no repairs are reported (the toilet paper principle).
3. repair permissions again.
4. if the problems persist, trash the preferences files for the misbehaving apps.
5. if the problems persist, delete the misbehaving apps and reinstall them.
6. it the shutoffs persist, try a PMU reset.
7. a PRAM reset would probably be a good idea too.
8. if none of that works, archive and reinstall.
there is a freeware utility called applejack that will also do most of this.
Details on all of these will be readily available with a google search.

Macbook Pro 2,2 with Snow Leopard not Mavericks compatible ?

I have a Core 2 Duo 15" Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard. I was under impression Mavericks would run on Snow Leopard machines. Tried to download it and it said Machine not compatible. Then it listed compatible machines and it showed 15" MacBook Pro. What gives?

only 15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later. Yours is the model prior and can not run anything higher than 10.7.5

MacBook Pro keeps beeping during Snow Leopard upgrade

I am excitedly moving into the Mac world and have had my MacBook Pro for almost a year and wanting to move to Lion. I ordered the Snow Leopard disc from Apple and finally loaded it tonight. All went well for a while then the screen went grey and just began beeping (3 short beeps over and over and over). The disc won't eject, and all seems frozen except for the beeping. PLEASE, any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a quicktime movie on a hard drive, and I have the hard drive plugged into my macbook, and the quicktime movie is not opening, its just a black screen. How do I convert it to the right file so I can watch it ?

I have quicktime movie files on a hard drive, and normally when I plug the hard drive into my computer, I can open the quicktime files and watch them. Now when I am doing it, the quicktime movies are opening up with a black screen. How do i convert it to be in the right format to be able to watch ?

I plugged my old drive into an identical Vostro and saved my bookmarks per the instructions. Later, when I check the file, it was in html format. While waiting for the replacement laptop to arrive, I put my old (Vostro) hard drive into a case so I could access the files. I have been able to launch web pages from the file bt accessing them through My Documents so I know the file is good. The problem is, I apparently need to convert them into a JSON file in order to use them. There is a set of instructions on the Mozilla/Firefox website but that method does not work.
