Iphoto not working after installing snow leopard

My hardrive crashed while I was living in South America so I got the authorized mac dealership to put in a new one. Once I got back I was able to get all my photos and files from an external hardrive but I realized that my computer software was still 10.5.8. So I put in the Snow Leopard disk that I had bought because I realized that when they put in a new hardrive they didn't install Snow Leopard. After I installed Snow Leopard my iphoto now says "Caution The iPhoto Library folder is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it." How do I fix this? I called Mac and because I bought the computer in 2007 I do not have any applecare so that will cost me $60 and the mac authorized dealership told me to call them or buy the new iLife in hopes that the problem will be fixed.

See if one of the fixes in this topic helps: iPhoto becomes locked volume: Apple Support Communities

Many things not working after installing Snow Leopard!

Just installed Snow Leopard (10.6.3) on my 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac and now I've got problems. All the dates I've added to iCal are gone. Almost all my address book contacts are gone. I can't access my Airport Express network. And my Epson Workforce 40 printer won't print. Hopefully that's all.
If anyone has any ideas on how to fix any of these problems I would very much appreciate your help.
Thanks,
wendy

Thanks for responding.
I didn't have time machine before I upgraded so I don't have a TM backup. I think I have a bootable backup, but I'm not sure how to use it. Also, I realize I should be able to retrieve my address book and iCal, but how will this help with my printing problems and airport connectivity? Sorry to be so green, but I've never had a problem like this with an upgrade before.

Reviving this conversation. My Canoscan 8400f no longer works after upgrading to snow leopard, and there is no new driver for this machine. As an artist, I'm dead in the water. I need to buy a new scanner 9x12 or 12x17 and I'm looking for suggestions for any scanner of that size that is compatible. Budget about $1000. Thanks! Lilly

Font not working after loading snow leopard.

My font named Smash is not working after loading snow leopard. Is there any way to fix this?

I suspect you're talking about a free font called Smash. Read Kurt Lang's paper on font management
<http://www.jklstudios.com/misc/osxfonts.html>
and especially his strictures on free Windows fonts. The free Smash is a good example of what his talking about. It's a bad, poorly made font. Trash it ASAP.
If you want to check it with Font Book, use File > Validate File…, then locate smash.ttf and proceed. You cannot use File > Valide Font, because that command works only with installed, 'working' fonts.
For the real font, go to

Help! I've spent hours researching this and can't find a solution...
I upgraded 3 Intel Macs in the house to Snow Leopard last weekend. All went differently...but all were successful. I found that the connection to my HP Officejet 7410 (connected wirelessly to 802.11g Airport Express (AEX) network) was "broken". Deleted then "re-intalled". Documents could now be printed. I then found out scan function was "broken". Figured out how to scan with new Snow Leopard "baked-in" driver and Scan tab...different, but it worked.
Then, tonight, on the eve of my birthday, I was given the green light to purchase an Airport Extreme 802.11n (dual-band) base station (AEBS). I set it up and got 2.5X speed on the two 802.11n laptops in the household. Glorious! Then I went to work to ensure print and scan functions were still operational. Tried to re-connect HP OJ 7410 to wireless network...when it found the network it asked for the "WEP" key (on previous AEX network I was secured utilizing WPA2/Personal)...I entered the WPA2/Personal password (same as previous network) and got the error message "Key must be 5 or 13 characters OR 10 or 26 length with 0-9 and A-F (hex)". So I turned off the wireless radio and instead plugged the 7410 into the AEBS via USB. Deleted the previous queue and re-installed. Found the printer no problem but now without the Scan tab or function anywhere...despite following all the recommendations found both on the HP site and here in the Apple Forums. I print fine. Can't for the life of me figure out what the problem with the now lost again Scan function is.
Only strangeness I can think of is the following: When setting up the network(s), I had the option of naming the 5 ghz band something different. I set mine up with the same name of the 2.4 ghz network with 5ghz in parenthesis (i.e. BobbyG and BobbyG (5 Ghz)).
Sorry for the long post but we need the scan function in the house for my wife's teaching purposes. Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated.
Very Respectfully,
Bobby G.

External Combo Drive doesn't work after installing Snow Leopard

This Mini was bought used with a defective combo drive. I purchased a "No-Brand" external Combo Drive (USB connected and powered) off eBay. Everything worked fine under Leopard. I used the external drive to install Snow leopard but could not eject the DVD at the completion of the installation process. I manually ejected the DVD and discovered the external drive now doesn't work with either DVD's or CD"s.
Any ideas what the problem is?
Ken

Mark this up to "cockpit' trouble on my part. The external combo drive now works.

Pages wont work after installing snow leopard

After loading Snow Leopard sometime later I discovered that I can't open pages.

How did you install Pages? Copying from another hard drive doesn't work as a rule. It is best to reinstall from the original media.

LaserJet printer no longer works after installing Snow Leopard

Since installing Snow Leopard, my LaserJet printer no longer works. Spent 5 hours on the phone to Apple Support without any satisfaction. Any suggestions? I'm desperate.......

Go to the HP web site and download the latest drivers for your OfficeJet.

My airport on my old MacBook is not working since installing snow leopard.

I installed snow leopard last week and started having problems maintaining connections to wifi. It got to the point it was not connecting at all. I have tried all the suggestions posted on online forms to no avail. I finally reinstalled Snow Leopard and have the same problem. I find this very upsetting as I have bought uniquely apple products for the past 13 years. I buy only apple software and I think as a loyal customer I deserve better than this....

I have tried all the suggestions posted on online forms to no avail.
Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue in case there were things you missed.
I think as a loyal customer I deserve better than this....
I'm a loyal Chevy car owner and I am treated no differently than a first time Chevy owner. Apple is just like any other huge corporation, they treat all their customers the same. Doesn't matter if you're loyal or not.
Mac OS X (10.6)
Use Software Update to update your os and anything else that needs to be updated. You are seriously outdated for Snow Leopard.

Midisport Uno stopped working after installing Snow Leopard

Hi
I have been happily using the midisport uno USB to connect my Roland PC-200 keyboard to my iMac.
Yesterday I installed Snow Leopard (I figured it was about time) and while MBox 2 is still fine for audio input, I'm unable to detect any midi signals via my Uno.
Nothing shows up in the ASM, even though I have re-installed the Uno and downloaded the latest driver for it (v3.4.0 for 64 bit)
I can see the lights functioning so the keyboard is sending a midi signal, but for some reason my computer cannot detect it. I have tried plugging the USB directly into the iMac (despite the fact that previously it was working fine via a USB hub)
As a control test, I plugged the Uno and the keyboard into an old Macbook - they worked first time. So the Uno and the keyboard are fine.
Any help gratefully received!
Andy
iMac (Intel 2 duo core) running Snow Leopard (10.6.8)

IPhoto not working after installing Yosemite

After installing Yosemite the iPhoto icon on the dock has a circle/line symbol superimposed. Get a message saying iPhoto needs to be updated, but when I try to update I get "Update unavailable for this Apple ID." (I have used my current Apple ID at least since 2011, and have used it to update iPhoto previously.)

Right, App Store Support solved my problem.(iPhoto & iMovie were packaged with my iMac when I bought it. Upgrading from Mountain Lion to Yosemite wiped that out, and these apps did not show up in my purchased list. This would not have happened if Maverick had been installed prior to Yosemite.)

btw, this is how i got to know about the "resetting printer queue" - OFFICIAL EPSON ANSWER:
(sorry for German speaking users only ...)
Bitte gehen Sie in diesem Fall wie folgt vor.
1. Löschen Sie alle Epson Drucker aus der Druckerliste.
2. Deinstallieren Sie den Treiber über die Installationsroutine. Besteht diese Möglichkeit nicht gehen Sie bitte direkt zu Punkt 3.
3. Löschen Sie den Inhalt des Ordners "Epson" unter HDD -> Library -> Printers.
4. Suchen Sie im Finder nach Druckermodell und löschen gefundene Einträge.
5. Starten Sie Ihren Mac neu.
6. Laden Sie den aktuellen Treiber von unserer Website und installieren Sie diesen. http://esupport.epson-europe.com/de-DE
7. Schließen Sie den Drucker direkt am Mac an, Kabellänge <= 2m. Sollte der Drucker im folgenden nicht gefunden werden schließen Sie ihn bitte per USB und nicht per FireWire oder Netzwerkkabel an. Verwenden Sie keinen USB-Hub und nicht den USB-Port an der Tastatur.
8. Drucker hinzufügen:
8.1 Power PC 10.x.x
Gehen Sie ins Druckerdienstprogramm wählen Sie hinzufügen (unter Tiger 10.4.x dann weitere Drucker) und wählen die korrespondierende EPSON-Schnittstelle (Epson-USB, Epson Firewire, Epson Appletalk, Epson TCP/IP) im Dialog aus. Der Drucker wird in der Auswahlliste angezeigt. Markieren Sie ihn und wählen Sie wenn möglich Papierformat "ALLE". Schließen Sie den Vorgang mit hinzufügen.
8.2 Mac-Intel 10.4.x
Gehen Sie ins Druckerdienstprogramm wählen Sie hinzufügen und wählen die korrespondierende EPSON-Schnittstelle (USB, Epson Firewire, Epson Appletalk, Epson TCP/IP) im Dialog aus. Der Drucker wird in der Auswahlliste angezeigt. Markieren Sie ihn und wählen Sie wenn möglich Papierformat "ALLE". Schließen Sie den Vorgang mit hinzufügen.
8.3 Leopard 10.5.x
Gehen Sie in Drucker & Faxe, wählen Sie hinzufügen, wählen Sie den Drucker aus der Liste (USB/Bonjour) und prüfen Sie, daß im Feld "Drucken mit/Druckermodell" EPSON und das Kürzel für Ihren Drucker steht. z.B.: "SPRO3800". Um den Drucker per EPSON Appletalk hinzuzufügen, wählen Sie oben rechts das Symbol "andere". Wählen Sie hinzufügen um die Installation abzuschließen.
8.4 Snow Leopard 10.6.x
Gehen Sie in Drucker & Faxe, wählen Sie das "+" Zeichen, wählen Sie den Drucker aus der Liste (USB/Bonjour) und prüfen Sie, daß im Feld "Drucken mit/Druckermodell" EPSON und das Kürzel für Ihren Drucker steht. z.B.: "SPRO3800". Um den Drucker per EPSON Appletalk oder per Epson Firewire hinzuzufügen, wählen Sie oben rechts das Symbol "andere". Wählen Sie hinzufügen um die Installation abzuschließen.
Beim Update von 10.4 oder 10.5 auf 10.6 empfehlen wir das Drucksystem zurückzusetzen und dann die Treiber neu zu installieren. Dieses Verfahren kann auch beim bei Punkt 1 benutzt werden. Allerdings sind dann alle Drucker gelöscht!
Falls Sie noch weitere Fragen, Wünsche oder Äußerungen haben, stehen wir Ihnen gerne zur Verfügung.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
EPSON Deutschland

IWork '05 will not work since installing Snow Leopard

I have iWork '05 and use Pages and Keynote. Since I installed the Snow Leopard update, when I open Pages all I get is the side toolbar and nothing else. I went to preferences and choose "open blank template" and then it says that it is "unable to open", and I tried using a template that I have created previously and that would not open either. When I choose "Open on Template Chooser" then nothing happens.
I can't get any files to open or new documents.
I am unable to install updates for iWork because I am running '05 and not '09.
Please help.

iwork05 is not compatible with snow leopard. you need to get a newer version. iwork08 is available on amazon for 20$ used and 30$ new.

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.
