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?

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.

I bought snow leopard and it won't install

I bought Snow Leopard and it won't install. It keeps saying, "You can't use this version of the application Install with this version of Mac OS X. You have Install Mac OS X 23.1.1."

Hi stedman, in theory, since the machine is a 2008, going from Lion to Snow Leopard should be possible, but requires the usual startup proceedure, boot holding the C key, then since ML is on the hard drive you must do an erase and install. You cannot do a reinstall. I say in theory because if all firmware updates have also been done following installation of Lion, there may be a firmware block now causing problems reading the SL disk.
That is the problem we all face trying to help diagnose these situations remotely...incomplete information.
So, for bistraung: how exactly are you trying to install SL? Are you trying to restart your computer with the SL disk in the optical drive and holding the C key? Or, are you trying to read the disk directly? You cannot do the latter.
Do you have a backup of the drive? If you do the SL install, you must erase the hard drive before installing SL which means you lose everything on the hard drive. So me sure you have a backup or you cannot get anything back.
Best approach would be get an external hard drive, format it Mac OS Extended (Journaled), GUID partition table, and then use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a bootable clone of the internal hard drive. I say CCC instead of SupperDuper since CCC does a better job of also cloning the Recovery Hard Drive, which will be important if you need to work on Lion at all.
With a bootable clone, you can boot to either SL on the internal drive or Lion on the external drive...gives you options.

Could a 2012 macbook pro from the factory been loaded by the factory with both Snow Leopard AND OSX Lion?

could a 2012 macbook pro from the factory been loaded by the factory with both Snow Leopard AND OSX Lion?

I think MBPs stopped coming with Snow Leopard installed as of the late-2011 models. That's when OS X Lion started being pre-installed on MBPs. Some earlier MBP models (2010, early-2011) had a firmware update to allow Internet Recovery (command+option+r) which would allow a reinstall of OS X Lion (purchased from the App Store) with the purchaser's AppleID/password.
I don't believe SL would even install on a 2012 MBP.

Can't scan from my HPC4280 with new Snow Leopard

I downloaded the new snow leopard and now my HPC4280 All In One scanner is not working. Printer and copier works fine. I've tried the 3 fixes from the HP support but nothing is working. I went to System Preference clicked on printer/fax, click on the left dialog box clicked on HP AIO to view the options and when I click on scanner it said not available or something like that, I then did what HP said in the" Important Gotcha" clicking on - at the bottom to delete, then clicking the + to add back, after I did that, the scan icon no longer appeared. Scanner was working just fine prior to the new snow leopard

Hello,
There is something called the HP print and scan doctor, it sounds like it might help resolve your scanning issue thought it would be worth a try. You can download it from the following URL:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=2093&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=1153...
It is available under Utility- Diagnostic tools
Hope it helps!!
I work for HP, However, I am speaking for myself and not for HP

Hi JoeyR. Well, according to this link at the Apple Store, OS X Moutain Lion became available in July and I downloaded it for $19.99. I figured I would do that before renewing my Norton security SW. Are we talking about the same thing?

I have a 22" iMac desktop running OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard and it won't boot. I've tried shift start, option command P R. It's stuck at the restart, all I see is the spinning wheel below the apple logo. And I lost my OSX DVD is there any way to fix this? I just did a software update yesterday and have about 20GB left on my Hard drive. The last thing I did was try to install some plugin's for Pro Tools 8, but it wouldnt let me install so I restarted and now I'm screwed. Please Help!

You have to consider the possibility the hard drive may be dying. If your data isn't backed up, try one of the tools below:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1689
Once you are sure your data is backed up, we can examine other possibilities. In the meantime call AppleCare for your original installation DVDs. You may need them.

FACE TIME with new Snow Leopard

I am currrently running Leopard 10.5.8 right now and i tried to download FaceTime on my computer...but found out that it doesn't work....because you need to upgrade to Snow Leopard?... so if i get the upgrade.... will it install smoothly? and let me run FaceTime with friends from over seas (Asia) without any problems?...Any issues with FaceTime and running the new Snow Leopard?... I need all the info before running out and buying the upgrade...thanks

Hi,
It is Intel Only (As In only works with Snow Leopard).
Reports here vary mainly because people come here looking for help so it is a some what distorted view. (we never get to here from people who had no issue setting it up).
Some have reported issues trying so set up "accounts" using Apple IDs they already use elsewhere.
This may centre around the issue of using one Email address as th ID/Account emails and using another for people to Call (it's a bit like an Alias situation).
Search for "Facetime" in the iSight Forum
Same for the "Using Snow Leopard" Forum
This is where most have been posted.

Install CS on new Snow Leopard?

I have CS Design Premium as full-version and an upgrade to CS3 at work, now I´m going to upgrade to CS4 and buy a new computer.
What I need to know is, will CS1 with upgrades install on the Snow Leopard and is it the upgrade from CS3 I should get now or do I have to upgrade from CS1 this time too (the much more expensive alternative)?

I've been messing around with getting CS2 to run on my new Macbook Pro for the past week or so.   I finally got it working today. I'm not really sure "why" it's working, but I'll tell you what I did so if you'd like, you can try it as well.
Uninstall CS2 completely from your Mac if you have already installed.
Open Snow Leopard disk and open Optional Features.   Download Rosetta.
Install CS2.   (CS2 will still not work at this point, don't worry)
Download one of the CS4 Creative Suite titles as a trial (I chose Photoshop).
Restart your Mac
Open one of your other CS2 programs not downloaded in CS4 version.
Run Adobe Update
Open any CS2 app!
This particular sequence has been the only way I could get my apps to work.   This may not be the only way, but it did the trick.
Good luck.

Issues with OSX snow leopard and quicktime

I recently installed snow leopard and quicktime x does not play avi files. I've tried the perian patch but it won't install on my computer. Everything goes accordingly but when I go to the perian pref panel it says not installed. I click the manual install button and nothing happens. Any ideas?

Remove the Perian prefPane from /Library/PreferencePanes/, download the latest version, and try installing it. If still no go, try VLC.

I have just installed Mountain Lion over Snow Leopard, I now can't open Photoshop?

Hi everyone, I have just installed Mountain Lion over Snow Leopard. The installation went smooth and woks well. Now I find that Ican't open either Photoshop CS or Microsoft Word. I upgraded in order to install Lightroom 5, obviously there is now an incompatability, is there a work around?

If that is the original Photoshop CS, and Word 2004 or earlier, then they won't open because Lion and Mountain Lion do not support PowerPC apps. They must be Intel code. Snow Leopard could run them because it included Rosetta, a PowerPC to Intel (and back) interpreter.
You have a few options.
1) Go back to Snow Leopard.
2) Update your apps to compatible versions.
3) If you have Mountain Lion because newer apps require it then:
a) Install Snow Leopard Server (currently being sold by Apple for $20) in a VM such as Parallels, and then run your PPC apps in the VM.
b) Install Snow Leopard on a separate partition and boot to that version of OS X when you need to use those older apps.

Sync times off by 5hrs with new snow leopard macbook.

Just got new macbook and now when I sync with iphone from entourage 2004 via ical, times in iphone and ical appear 5hrs ahead. Was at Genius bar today, and Genius said there was some known problem with clock when jumping from tiger system to snow leopard, but I had to leave before we finished and apparently she never reset some kind of clock....Anybody know how/what she was talking about?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Mac OS X doesn't come with iLife applications, so you have to install them manually after installing Mac OS X.
Insert the Applications disc or Mac OS X Install Disc 2 DVD and install iLfe applications. Then, open  > Software Update, and install the latest update. If you want, you can purchase iMovie, GarageBand and iPhoto in the App Store, so you will get the most recent version

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.

I try to install my CS 5 Photoshop program and it won't open.

I install my CS 5 Photoshop program and an error comes up in the install section. When I go to open the program an error shows up stating "Could not initialize Photoshop because
the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted)". How did this happen and how can it be fixed?

If the rest of the install was successful the following should help:
Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Photoshop. You are prompted to delete the current settings; Click Yes.
Let us know how it goes.
