I can't get Finder v. 10.6.8 to work. I have a MacBook Pro with OSX v. 10.6.8.
I recently had a hard drive crash. The tech installed a new hard drive and I was able to re-download most of the applications I use. Now, several weeks later, my Finder no longer works. I also can't open any document folders that are on my desktop.
Is this the result of a virus. What antivirus software can anyone recommend? Thanks!

No. Start by installing OS X Update 10.6.8 (Combo).

I lost my Hard disk and had to replace it with a new one, how can I get another copy of lion OS, as the guy at the serive center installed 10.6 for me.
P.S. I bought my macbook pro with preinstalled Lion OSIf you have a way to wipe 10.6.8 off, you can then reboot your machine (with no OS) and since your system came preinstalled with Lion, Internet Recovery should occur which will boot to Apple's servers into a Recovery HD for you to redownload and install Lion.
To be safe I would first make a clone of the current installation using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!. This way you have a way to recover. -
How can I get a USB 2.0 hub to work on my 2008 MacBook pro?
Burned out my old USB hub and cannot get a new USB 2.0 to work at al. What can I do?
It is traditional that when a solution to a posted issue is found that the solution be posted rather than just "I figured it out". That way others with the same or similar problems can benefit from your solution.

You are seeing someone else's shared iTunes Library.
Is there a way I can download this music?
No, not without enabling Home Sharing, which would require using the same Apple ID and the other account holder's consent. -
I have a MacBook Pro with Intel Core Duo and Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Would like to upgrade to Lion but it requires a minimum of Intel Core 2 Duo. Can I get what I need or do I have to buy new MacBok Pro?
I also have a core duo MBP with Snow Leopard and it runs perfectly. There are very few things it cannot do as compared to the faster, newer MBPs, but that is attributable to the CPU, not the OS. There are some who view Lion as downgrade rather than as an improvement. If there are important applications that reqire a fast CPU or Lion features that you find essential, by all means get a new MBP.
I have an aphorism: Obsolescence is more often a perception rather than a reality. Besides the silver keys look much classier than the black ones.

Hi. I have a MacBook Pro with OS10.6.8 and cannot get internet pages to load on my WiFi network at home. My iMac, iPhone and iPad all work on this network. It is connected to the net as dropbox registers a connection and so does skype. I can connect to the WiFi in work and on other networks when travelling. However, some other networks are now starting to fail. Can anyone suggets how I can fix it, as the MBP appears to be fine, its updated with all the latest versions of software and the WiFi network is also fine....just not with my MBP??

I have a macbook pro with 10.6.8 on it but I need to do a clean re install and my CD is 10.4.6. Can I use the CD and then are my OS updates to 10.6.8 free?
Also can I use iMac OS install disks on a MacBookPro?You will have to buy Snow Leopard:
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order. You also should find it at your local Apple retailers.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements. -
I have a macbook pro with only 128gb of hard drive. I have lightroom installed and all my photos on an external hard drive. Can I store my lightroom library on the external hard drive too?
Yes. Find the LR catalog file by looking in Edit/Catalog Settings/General. Close LR and navigate to that spot. The catalog file is the one that ends in .lrcat - move it to wherever you want. Next to the .lrcat file is a subfolder called Previews.lrdata. You can move that over as well, but if you don't LR will generate new previews. Double-click on the .lrcat file in its new home and LR will open with that catalog. Set Preferences to When Starting Up Use Most Recent Catalog.

I have a macbook pro with IOS 10.6.8 and my itunes is version 11.0.1, can I airplay to an apple TV?
please help, I have a macbook pro with a IOS 10.6.8 operating system, I just opperated my ituned to version 11.0.1. Can I airplay my macbook to an apple tv?
On Snow Leopard, you can't use AirPlay Mirroring, but if you upgrade to Mountain Lion, you will be able to use AirPlay MIrroring > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
If you want to upgrade to Mountain Lion, first make a backup of your files. Then, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion, and follow the steps to upgrade to Mountain Lion. Check if your applications are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com
If you don't want to upgrade Mac OS X, you can also install AirParrot > http://www.roaringapps.com
If you are referring to AirPlay on iTunes, you can do it. The AirPlay icon will appear on the iTunes toolbar when your computer detects the Apple TV -
I am trying to find an app or software to burn iMovie 11 slideshow to a dvd. I have a MacBook Pro with Mavericks. There are a lot of DVD Creator apps at the App store. Looking for a recommendation of what to use and tips. Thank you.
I've been using "Burn" for years and it has been the only DVD burning software I have ever used for the mac. I have never needed to look at other apps. Unless you want something that has more bells and whistles such as Roxio's "Toast" : http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/pro/overview.html
There are thousands of quality free apps out there for the mac that are not part of the App Store. All you have to do is read reviews online, do a little search, the Apple forums are full of recommendations from experienced users that have been here for years... -
I have a Mac pro with osx ml in a Ethernet connection and a apple tv with a wireless, there is no way I can see the airplay in my Mac pro
Mac Pros don't support Airplay. Only some post 2011 Macs do, MAc Pros aren't amongst them.

You could try Airparrot software as a workaround.
