I cannot connect with people on video chat after installing Snow Leopard.

As soon as I installed Snow Leopard I tried to connect (Video) with a friend through iChat, and it kept saying the person declined the invitation. Is this a known issue.

Hi,
iChat reads the full rate of your Connection Speed in iChat 5 rather than the setting in iChat 4 that read the System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming speed as it's speed in Leopard.
I have a G4 running Leopard and calling from the Snow Leopard MacBook Pro gets the Declined message where as starting from the G4 and calling the Macbook Pro even using an AIM Buddy list, works.
I suspect but have no proof yet that the faster speed makes iChat think the other end has not replied and the "Declined" message is the default one.
I would get the declined even before the Visible Invite had go to the G4.
I set the iChat menu < Preferences > Video Section > Bandwidth Limit to 500kbps with no apparent improvement.
I have since called other Buddies from the MacBook Pro and been successful.
(which throws my theory somewhat)
As a Side note the Connection Doctor (Video Menu of iChat) has a Network Status item now and I get Port Restricted which is coloured Amber as being one of the less favoured NAT methods.

Problems with Mobile Me System Preferences after installing Snow Leopard

I installed Snow Leopard yesterday, and noticed that my calendar was no longer syncing between my mac and my iphone. I opened the system preferences/mobile me pane and my .mac account came up, but when I tried to hit the "sync" pane it just froze. It did this repeatedly. I trashed the system preferences file and tried again, with the same result.
Any ideas? I'd really like my calendars to continue syncing across devices.

I had same issue, this cured it for me...
- Open MobileMe in System Preferences
- Click Advanced
- Click Reset Sync Data
- Select Calendar from drop down menu/pop up list
- (In my case I changed the arrow, to copy all calendar events from my mac to mobileme)
This resets the data in mobile me.
After this the sync function worked as normal & my iPhone syncing was ok as well...
Hope this helps

Met with a white screen after installing Snow Leopard on Macbook (mid 2007)

After installing Snow Leopard on my Mid 2007 mac book pro I was prompted to restart. I restarted and the computer turned on but only got as far as a white screen that stays white with no further activity for an indefinite amount of time. I've restarted the computer a few times with the same results. How do I fix this and get past the white screen?!

Try booting into "verbose mode". That will cause a series of messages to appear on the screen during the boot process. When that stalls (presuming it does so), write down the last few messages and post them as a reply.
You might also try running the diagnostics that came with that Mac. Depending on the model, you can boot with the "system restore disc" in the machine with the "D" key held down to run those. Run the diagnostics several times.

After installing Snow Leopard problems with using any of my Helvetica fonts

I've never really have a problem with any of apple's products until now.
After installing Snow Leopard I've found problems with using any of my Helvetica fonts,
which is a BIG problem if you work in DTP or print. You CAN'T remove the system version of Helvetica, and replace it with your own anymore.
Also Flash CS4 seems to be a dead duck, as after about 5-6 seconds of loading the program it crashes with a "KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE".
<title edited by host>

Thanks Tom but the original post title was "Work in DTP, don't install snow leopard", but of course apple were unhappy with the title. I know the issue/problem has been discussed for months, the real problem is that it shouldn't be a problem which everyone has to find work arounds for.
After 4 days of playing about, I've finally got flash CS4 working and Quarkxpress was also a big problem for a few months. Printer description (PPD) files which snow leopard doesn't like, but worked in tiger & leopard.....means I can't use my two A3 inkjets for proofing anymore.
I'm just disappointed by snow leopard

After installing Snow Leopard on MacPro with 23" HD monitor I have noticed an anomaly when scrolling up or down, a horizontal ripple appears briefly, I have tested other browsers and there is no problem, only in FF 8. What is causing this?

Hi applecore_eater,
When Leopard came out, machines were shipping with Tiger for 3-5 months after it's release. So the fact that you bought a machine with Leopard still installed is not uncommon, especially considering we're not even a month into release. Matter of fact, I'd be surprised to see a lot of machines (unless CTO) that are coming with Snow Leopard.
The battery issue is not specific to Snow Leopard or the MacBook Air. I've deployed SL to about 15-20 MacBook Airs and all of them have been perfectly fine (batteries).

Had to get new hard disk for my macbook. After installing snow leopard on new HD the computer only connects to free wifi at certain places and not others. Took it to genius bar (of course it worked find there!) they said it was fine. Not!

Hi there ricalimo,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps in the article below. If the issue is location specific, than you may want to save the article so you can perform troubleshooting when you are experiencing trouble.

Lost wireless connection after installing Snow Leopard combo update.

Hi everybody. I installed Snow Leopard on my father-in-law's Mac Mini (one year old) over Christmas, as a gift. The upgrade went fine. Everything worked until I performed a SW update. It downloaded a mammoth 500+ MB combo update (wirelessly), installed it, and boom. No wireless.
His network has no security; it is open. The Mac could see/find the network, but timed-out when connecting. Connection Doctor and Network Diagnostics; all red lights. His Dell and my iPod Touch had no problem connecting. I tried switching user accounts, turning Airport ON/OFF, trashing Locations and using Automatic, inactivating interfaces, disabling firewall, restarting, PRAM reset, and probably some other things I can't recall.
I couldn't leave him without any Internet, and I didn't have a patch cable to try, so I restored him to 10.5 using Time Machine. His wireless went back to normal and is working fine. So he has my Christmas gift, but he can't use it.
I have seen some related experiences in this forum, but not quite the same. Anything I try will now need to be done remotely over iChat Screen Sharing, as he is 190 miles away. Thank you for any assistance.

Problem Solved..sort of. I was able to restore full connectivity by disabling the WEP encryption of the WIFI. This is very strange to me, prior to getting the ATV, WIFI was only rurned on for brief periods to allow my laptop to connect or when using a Sondigo wireless music bridge (great product BTW.) After enabling WEP I had no problems in connecting either the ATV or the Sondigo unit to the WIFI, there was however a problem with my laptop in that it showed a very solid connect to the WEP enabled network but I could not browse the internet. FWIW my router is a Linksys WRT54GX. Hopes this helps someone else

Cannot boot my Intel iMac after installing Snow Leopard on an external USB

I have an Intel iMac with Snow Leopard installed. I have several FW and USB external drives. When I installed Snow Leopard from the Apple install disc on one of the USB drives to act as a backup the system rebooted and the Apple logo appeared and then the spinning gear wheel. After a while the logo was replaced by a circle with a line through it. I booted back into the install disc and tried Startup Disc from Utilities and selected Macintosh HD with the same result. Then I restored the system on my internal drive (Macintosh HD) from Time Machine. Still no luck. Does any one have any ideas before I reformat and reinstall from the SL installer disc?

Thanks for the replies. I was under the impression that Intel Macs can be booted with a USB drive
I just learned today that this is true from one of our Level 4's. PPC macs can't boot on USB drives and I thought that carried over to Intel, but I was wrong.
Didn't mean to misinform you!
Ultimately, I reformatted my internal drive, reinstalled the OS and did a restore from my latest Time Machine backup with Migration Assistant. I didn't lose any data but the restore process took 3+ hours.
Great! Glad you had success!

Cannot connect to any IM clients since updating to snow leopard.

Hey Guys
I'm having a problem with my IM clients since updating to 10.6. I use Adium primarily and have Microsoft messenger through Office 2008 installed. Every time I try and connect to the servers I get a message in Adium telling me it has a connection error and Microsoft Messenger tells me I am not connected to the internet. I have tried other clients such as Pidgin and have the same issues and my MSN still works on my windows desktop. I am absolutely stuck with what to do. Adium support says that as it doesnt work on Microsoft messenger its nothing to do with them and its a issue on my side :S.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for responding guys. I looked to see if their was a firewall option somewhere I could disable or make a exemption for but came up with nothing. Today I reinstalled snow leopard again and every thing seems ok now. I really am not sure what the problem was.
Thanks for your help anyway. this could help others in a similar situation.

Connecting to internet after installing snow leopard software

I just uploaded the new snow leopard mac os x v10.6 software and after my computer restarted it wouldn't connect to my wifi like it usually does. I'm able to get the connection and it says that there's full bars but my webpage says I am not connected. There's also an exclamation mark where the signal usually is. If anyone could help that would be great! Thank you

To get started, try these possible fixes:
1. Go System Preferences > Network > Location.
Edit location (whatever name you want).
Click + and then click done.
Try your wifi/browser.

TS2951 after installing snow leopard 10.6.3 from tiger 10.4.11 everything upgraded and opens correctly except the dock. It is still running with the old dock.

help, the original HD (10.5.8 leopard) crashed and i replace it with one a little smaller HD (10.4.11 tiger). It was real jerky and i couldn't play a lot of my games. Since I had always wanted to upgrade to snow leopard anyway I did. Always wanted to get the app store. Still don't have it! what did i do wrong or better yet, how to i fix it?
up graded from 10.4.11 with 10.6.3 - everything is great except it is using the old dock. I don't have the download icon, the utility icon the app store icon in my doc. - and when looking in finder i don't find the app store application - not real sure what else or where else to look.

Cannot connect my 6350 to pc amymore after install...

sersr

possible you need to uninstall Device Manager, not Desktop Software.
Disconnect the PB from the computer.
Uninstall the Device Manager.
Reboot your computer (for good measure)
Connect the PB using the USB cable.
Now you should see a PlayBook CD-ROM.
In that CD-ROM you will find version 7 of the Device Manager, install it.
Once installed disconnect the PB from the computer.
Wait for about 15 seconds then plug it back in.
Windows should detect new device and start Device Manager. It may take up to two minutes for windows to detect and properly install.
Then device manager will map 'z' drive to the PB.

No video preview since installing Snow Leopard

Hi,
I feel like a new-be but since installing FCP 7 and Snow Leopard I am having problems.
Right now if I put anything in the time line the canvas viewer only show a blank white screen.
Can anyone give me a cue as to what is going on or what aI set wrong?

Go to System Preferences > Displays > Display.
Switch the Colors button from Millions to Thousands then back to Millions again.
Yes, it is Stupid. No, it is not a proper fix. But it works.
Also, just to cover all bases, make sure your Viewer and Canvas are set up correctly:
