I updated to snow leopard and can't open my mail

I can't open my mail after installing snow leopard 10.6.3

Likely Apple stopped using the older font formats.
Older? The .ttf fonts supplied with OS X are OpenType, not the original TrueType format from the days of Windows 3.1.
The most likely reason (and it happens rather often) is that upgrading the OS botched Font Book's database. Not being able to see, activate, or deactivate fonts is a very common symptom of that.
Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding the Shift key until you see a progress bar towards the bottom of the screen. You can let go of the Shift key at that point.
OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally. This will clear Font Book's database and the cache files of the user account you logged into in Safe Mode.
Next, Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
Terminal will then ask for your admin password. As you type, it will not show anything, so be sure to enter it correctly.
This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and the current user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.

    Just installed snow leopard and can't open any of my word docs?

    Depends on what you're doing; SL doesn't really support Office docs directly. In Snow Leopard, TextEdit can open Word docs, albeit with little fidelity for anything beyond text. Try iWork if you need to really work with Word docs (note that even then it's an import/export process and not native support).

  • After updating to snow leopard  and trying to delete mackeeper flash player will no longer work. Can anyone help me?

    After updating to snow leopard and trying to delete mackeeper, Flash player is being blocked and will not allow me to view utubes. Can anyone help?

  • Updated to snow leopard and now get blue screen

    Hi there,
    I recently updated to snow leopard and now I get blue screen on start-up.
    I manage to get to enter my password and then to my desktop for a few seconds before it flicks back to my login.
    I tried using disk utility from the install disc and it said HD appears to be ok. But it hasn't solved the problem.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks

  • After update to Snow Leopard, I can no longer print from my Mac Book using my HP D110 but can still print from the web

    Hello -
    Earlier this week, I updated my Mac Book to Snow Leopard and am now having printing problems. I have an HP Photosmart D110. I have downloaded and installed the driver update. I have deleted and re-installed the printer. I have run the wireless network test (everything passed). I configured th settings on the HP EPrint website. I have shut down and re-started the computer several times. I checked for software updates.
    The printer is *recognized* on the Mac Book, iPhone and the iPad. It shows up under the SysPref menu. I have been able to print coupons from the Coupons.com app using the iPhone and iPad, but I can't print from the computer itself. The printer icon opens and it indicates the document was sent but nothing comes out. I'm not sure what I'm missing?!

    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
    Also try powering the printer off for about 10 minutes.

  • Updated to Snow leopard and PDF files disappear

    Here's what happened. After I updated to Snow Leopard, when I went to  print a PDF from Quark or Illustrator, it looked liked it was printing  but no file is produced? Nothing...nada. I assumed it had to do with my  distiller or Acrobat. I went to the help section in Acrobate, clicked on  HELP, then REPAIR ACROBAT INSTALLATION. Thought that sounded good. Now I  can find my printers? States no printer selected? Using Acrobat 9.
    Anyone have ideas how to fix this this? I'm a beginner for the most part. Thanks so much!
    Kelli

    The way you create PDF now in Snow leopard and Leopard you go to Print menu click on PDF hold until a pop up menu shows The choose "create AcrobatPDF".
    As for printing its possible you need to either update your print Driver, Or Printer. I know I had to give up my much treasured HP DJ990cse Inkjet printer and get a new C310 Printer/Scanner combo.
    It makes great photo and great documents but is more trouble to operate.

  • I know if I want to update my 0S x.5 to Mountain Lion, I have to update to Snow Leopard and Lion first. Where do I find the Snow Leopard download?

    I'm trying to upgrade my daughter's computer for college. She currently has OS 10.5.8. She needs to upgrade to Mountain Lion. I know I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard and Lion first. I can't find the download for either. Please help!  I was in the site the other day and thought I saw a link, but now I can't find it.
    Thanks.

    There is no download for Snow Leopard and never was for the general public. Phone the Apple Store and buy it.
    Purchasing Lion isn't necessary to get Mountain Lion, but you will need to run the Mac OS X 10.6.8 combo updater.

  • Updated to Snow Leopard and now my picture looks bad on my HD TV... help?

    Hey guys and gals.
    So I have a MBP 1.3ghz 15" 4 gb RAM and running Snow Leopard.
    I have always used my DVI to Composite/S-Video adapter to watch movies on TV. I just recently updated to Snow Leopard from 10.4 and for some reason it looks like my resolution is all jacked up. I see that my resolution options have decreased on the video preferences and no matter which one I use I get a real bad blur and sometimes a distorted B&W picture on my tv.
    Any ideas?
    TIA
    A

    Hello. I don't know what part of the world you're in but if you're in North America TVs typically operate on the NTSC format and if you're in another part of the world PAL is used. If you have an option in System Preferences, make sure the appropriate choice is selected.
    Regards,

  • Just updated to Snow Leopard and my screen turns on randomly

    I like to sleep listening to music, so I turn on iTunes and dim the screen to turn it off for darkness.
    I just updated to snow leopard 2 days ago and the last two nights when I try this my screen will randomly light back up a little, which doesnt really help me sleep.
    I looked around on itunes and system prefrences to see if snow leopard had some random new deal, but I cannot find anything...
    please, help me sleep!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're all users here.
    It's a known Snow Leopard 'quirk'.
    The solution was posted on page 2 of this thread by user EmoIII (and probably in dozens of other threads, this was the first linked thread I came across containing the solution...)
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3161667?start=30&tstart=0
    Unchecking the box will cause the display to go dark (either by reducing brightness all the way manually, or as specified in the Screen Saver time-out value) and not wake up unexpectedly.

  • Hello friends!I use mac book(2.4 GHz intel core 2 duo).is it worth updating to snow leopard and then lion?if so how to do so?

    Hello  I use mac book 2.4 GHz intel core 2 duo.Is it worth updating to latest version like snow leopard and then Lion or buying new mac air?
    regards
    Clayton.

    Well, it depends on what you expect it to do and if it works as expected - it that answer is yes, I'd say make sure you max out the RAM (I've noticed Snow Leopard needs more). Doing it this way gives you a machine which will run 2 different OS versions - on the other hand, depending on when you'd buy the MBA, you may only be able to run Lion (unless you buy that quickly as well while they still come with SL).
