I've upgraded to Snow Leopard, Aperture 3 won't open.

I've finally upgraded to snow leopard (hoping the bugs would all be worked out!) Aperture 3 won't open. I did the "fix" found under aperture support. However, the advised, 3.1.1 update for aperture won't open either, saying it I need to install aperture 3 first (it is installed!) help please....

Please see this thread and do follow all the instructions.
Just upgrade to Snow. Now Aperture 3.1 will not start.
I know you have Aperture 3 installed and feel its silly to reinstall it but just try it.

Just upgraded to snow leopard, now safari won't open

Hi, I just upgraded to 10.6.8 from 10.5.8 and now safari won't open. All I get is the spinning circle. Safari will still open in a guest account though, so I wonder if the file somehow got corrupt. Do I have to reinstall something? Please help.
Thanks,
Paul

davew100 - It is importen to have Pages in the iWork folder in the folder applications in your account. If you have moved it Software updater can't see if you need to update.
You have the possibilty to downlaod the updates from iWork . You still need to have iWork in the Application folder.

I upgraded to snow leopard, since then safari does open in the dock but does not load as set in my preferences and the title page remains blank even though I have set-up a home page. I completely re-initialised safari, but no change.

I upgraded to snow leopard, since then safari does open in the dock (white dot) but does not startup as set in system preferences. Also, if I open safari, the title page remains blank even though I have set a home page under safari's preferences. I re-initialised safari, but no change.

Having put my home-page under "new windows open with home-page" solves the "blank title page problem".
One problem left: "safari" does not startup automatically as set in system preferences, whereas "mail", also set for startup DOES startup

After upgrade to snow leopard, my printer won't print

I recently upgraded my operating software to snow leopard, but now my wireless printer won't print any jobs coming from my Mac. The printer icon is still in the dock, but every time I try to print something I get an error message, and it won't print. When I go to my system preferences, it is still listed there.
Anyone have any ideas?

Because you control what's posted in your profile, not what the computer is running. Go here and update your product info.

Installed Aperture with new Snow Leopard and it won't open

I just got Aperture 2.0 and it installed fine but when I tried to open the application, its says it does not work with this version of Leopard. Is there a fix for this?

So essentially, you'd have to purchase the 2.14 update from the mac store?
No. He's saying he used the serial number that came with 2.x when he bought it, and it will work with the 2.14 download.
There seems to be a catch 22: Aperture 2.1 won't work with Snow Leopard, and the 2.14 update won't work because it can't find 2.1. The work around Daniel found is to download the 2.14 trial then authorize it with the 2.1 serial number.
See if it works for you ,and let us know.

Safari update to 5.1.5, on snow leopard, now safari won't open any web page.

Just installed Safari update to 5.1.5 and now Safari won't load any web page. Running snow leopard on an iMac. How do I fix, or revert to previous version of Safari that did work, keeping in mind, can't access internet on that computer since Safari won't load a web page (Firefox, Chrome, Opera have never worked on that computer, although Firefox worked fine until I upgraded OS to snow leopard).

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Preview 5.01 won't display JPEG's after upgrade to Snow Leopard

Upon upgrade of Snow Leopard 10.6 I cannot open a jpeg on Preview that has been submitted by someone to me. It shows up in the side column but not on the main page. how do I get to see the image again? thanks!

There are several possible problems, one of which can be solved to by updating to 10.6.2. You can also try removing these two files:
/Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/Preview/PDFIndex4.sk
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist
Then restart and relaunch Preview. If it still isn't fixed, and you are updated to 10.6.2, then you should download the COMBO updater and run it. There is a link to download it here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL959
You can run it even if you have already updated.

I have osx 10.6.3 have just upgraded to snow leopard and it says my app ical is ical 3.0.2 and cant be used? what the??? what do i do now?

I have just upgraded to snow leopard and ical now wont open. says it is not compatible and is ical 3.0.2 which seems strange as i have a osx10.6.3 . have looked for update but cant find one, what do i do?

Greetings,
It sounds like you have moved iCal from it's normal location and are opening a second copy which is the older version.
The current version of OS X 10.6 is 10.6.8. As you are running 10.6.3 you need the updates. Go to the Apple Menu > Software update and keep doing this until it says all updates have been installed.
Click anywhere on your desktop (the background).
Go to the top of the computer screen and click on "Go" > "Applications"
In this list look for "iCal".
Double-click iCal in this location (which is the proper home for iCal) and see what version it says.
If it reports the correct version you can drag the iCal from the Applications folder to the dock on your screen to add an button for it (if you already have one in the dock, remove it before you drag this one there). Be sure to leave iCal in the Applications folder.
Hope that helps.

Problems opening documents (zip files, excel) after upgrade to Snow Leopard

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard I have not been able to open a lot of files. Mainly, zip files and excel documents (which I had no problem opening before the upgrade. It seems that when I save the files down (from my email or whatever) the files go into the "Archive Utility" program, I try to open them from the Finder but they still won't open (or unzip).
When I go to open an excel document (most likely from a PC user), I get a msg that the file isn't formated for excel. However, before the upgrade to Snow Leopard I had no issue opening this same file in Mac Office-Excel.
Thanks in advance for your help/advise.
-Katherine

Hello Katherine:
I have not experienced those problems, but I do not receive Excel spreadsheets via E-mail. My Stuffit Expander version is 13.0.2.
You might want to check your Excel preferences to see if there is a setting that needs to be changed (compatibility?). I use Office 2004 so your version may be different.
You could also trash preference files to see if something happened during the install.

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard, and I have Aperture 3.1.3. Now after I import pics from my camera I get a dialog box so large I can't get to the eject card button. I have to force quit Aperture. How do I fix?

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard, and I have Aperture 3.1.3. Now after I import pics from my camera I get a dialogue box so large that I can't see the eject card button. Consequently, I can't get rid of the dialogue box without having to do a force quit on Aperture. How do I fix?

I can drag the dialog box, but I can't move it up far enough to get to the eject card button. The dialogue box contains all the jpeg Numbers I am trying to upload. It has never done that before. It used to be just a smal dialogue box with no jpeg numbers in it.
It is even difficult to get to the Finder with the Dialague box is open. I have to force quit aperture.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Aperture 2.1.4 - No preview or thumbnails after upgrading to Snow Leopard

I had upgraded to Aperture 2.1.4 before upgrading to Snow Leopard and everything worked fine. But since I installed SL, whenever I make a new version, I get no preview (just a big gray box) and no thumbnail (just a dotted lined box). So this makes Aperture absolutely useless to me. Apple says my service period has expired and I need to pay $199 to get any tech support to remedy this. I think that's ridiculous because I think this is a problem caused by SL.
Before I pay this stupid fee, does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but nothings changed.
In the meantime, I've switched everything over to Lightroom. So Apple better get this resolved or its losing a good customer to Lightroom!
Thanks... David

Hey Tony...
Thanks for the response.
I am using a Canon 5D Mark II and import RAW files. But I don't think it's a camera specific issue. Even is I import a plain old jpeg and make a new version of it, all I get is a outlined box for a thumbnail and a big gray box for a preview. And the little spinning "loading" wheel goes on forever.
I have gone to that support page and have done everything on it without success. I'm out of ideas.

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, Canon MX870 doesn't print text...just images

After upgrading to Snow Leopard (yes I know I'm slow to upgrade) my Canon MX870 isn't printing text. It is printing images but the quality if horrendous because it's not printing the black ink.
Here's what I've done so far
Installed the latest drivers for Snow Leopard from Canon
Cleaned the heads of the printer
Added new ink to all cartridges
Run printing tests (nozzle print patterns)...all good
Reset my printers in the Print Fax Preferences and added in the printer again
Numerous restarts
Now I'm at a loss for what else to do. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
BTW, printer is connected via USB not wireless.

OK well I can see now that all of my files are present on the hard drive (mybook) only they are not showing up in aperture. It seems that there has been some sort of communication breakdown between the two.
As I said several files are missing and or corrupt in my aperture library. I'm wondering if there is a way to rebuild the library without using the vault technique? Does this make sense to anyone?
I was able to go into finder - mybook - aperture library - show contents and see that all my raw files at least are there. Now I just need to get aperture to recognize them.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Re-install software after upgrade to Snow Leopard ....

I upgraded to Snow Leopard and was not concerned about re-installing my original software because I had the discs. When it came time the installer asks for the serial # off of the original boxes that it came in .... I keep my discs in a binder and do not have the boxes. Is there a work-around for this issue. I would appreciate any help I could get.
Thank you .......... Dave

I forgot to mention that I did a clean install because it is dual boot with Windows 7 .... the systems are both working great btw. After I entered my question I found the original invoice from the Apple Store which states on it that the software Final Cut Express, Aperture, and Logic Express were preinstalled by them so even if I had the original disc boxes .... I was not aware that I required a serial # to install them.
Thanks for your comments though ........... Dave

Upgraded to snow leopard, now safari scrolls a page down when space bar is hit and sometimes crashes. Any ideas for a fix?

I just upgraded to the new snow leopard, now my Safari is acting loopy. At times, the page will scroll down when I hit the space bar. As I type this discussion the screen isn't paging down, but if I go to the tab where I have facebook loaded and hit the space bar, it acts as a page down key. I've had safari crash about 5 times tonight for no apparent reason. The delete key sometimes will act as a page back key. I really have no idea whats going on.
I've had keyboards go wacko on me before due to something being spilled on them or a wireless problem, but this keyboard is a wired keyboard and nothing was spilled on it. It's rather new and I'm quite certain it's not a keyboard issue.
No settings have been changed on the computer. The only thing different today from yesterday, is the fact that I upgraded to snow leopard.
Help would be pretty sweet.
Thanks,
Jason
