Java issues, considering Snow Leopard upgrade

I'm being told by a number of sites that I need to install Java, but I already have Java SE 6 version 1.6.0_26 running. I suspect I may need to upgrade Java, but there isn't another Java update for Leopard that I'm aware of. Am I correct in assuming that I'm going to have to purchase Snow Leopard in order to get this to work, oris there another solution?

Is that what Java Preferences app says you're running?
Latest I could find for Leopard/10.5.8 is v 1.6.0_15...

  • Trackpad Sensitivity Issue After Snow Leopard Upgrade

    I have a Late 2008 MBP/2.53 Ghz and prefer to use tap to click/2 finger secondary tap.
    After upgrading to Snow Leopard (to v.10.6.6 as a clean install), linked webpages and files/folders often open when a second finger touches the trackpad accidentally even when pressed very gently.
    The same happens if a third finger touches the trackpad if I am scrolling through a page with 2 fingers. Sometimes when pausing/hovering over a link, part of the page surrounding the hyperlink will highlight and can sometimes the link will activate without any additional accidental touch. I have slowed down the tracking and double click speed in preferences, but this makes no difference.
    The funny thing is, some days the problems are worse than other days, the trackpad seems to have a mind of it's own! These issues never happened with Leopard, and it is very frustrating.
    Post SL upgrade, I have also noticed that the Magsafe adapter sometimes needs a little wiggle before it will start charging, and occasionally, the red 'close' symbol at the top left of the page does not always activate and I have to start tapping elsewhere before trying to close the page again.
    My parents have SL installed natively on their MBP (Spring 2010), and their MBP does not encounter any of these problems.
    Disk Utility shows Javavirtualmachine differences, which I trust can be ignored as the differences are non critical, or could these issues be having an effect on SL?
    I have AppleCare which expires in November and I want this sorted out asap. I could just revert back to using Leopard, but as I have paid £30 for Snow Leopard it would be a waste of money.
    I'm not sure whether my AppleCare cover these issues seeing as SL wasn't natively installed on the Mac when purchased?
    If anyone can help with these issues it would be very much appreciated.
    Many thanks

    After installing SL, i cannot get wellsfargo "account login" to work for any account of mine, other financial secure sites work fine, i.e. fidelity or vanguard, I can access the main screen of wellsfargo but login fails ... screen i get says Safari can't connect to the server and as follows: "Safari can’t open the page “https://online.wellsfargo.com/das/cgi-bin/session.cgi?" plus some more gibberish stuff.... i tried switching to firefox and it works fine .... never had any trouble before ..... tried safari reset, safari empty cache, and maintenace that applied ...... still no luck!! hope they get this bug fixed , my other computer an older mac mini works fine. any help????? never had any problem before SL

  • MobileMe Sync Issues after Snow Leopard Upgrade

    After installing Snow Leopard, MobileMe has been acting up specifically with syncing.
    I have tried to reset it via the instructions found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1497
    I am hoping it will be corrected and stays corrected. If you have the same issues, please let us know.
    Thank you.

    This solution has helped some with MobileMe syncing.
    1. Close all programs
    2. Logout from MobileMe in System Preferences > MobileMe.
    3. Run Disk Utility/Repair permissions from your startup drive.
    4. Restart computer.
    5. Login to MobileMe, and reset your sync choices.
    6. Try syncing.
    The first sync may take a good while, and you may be ask if you want to merge, overwrite. etc.

  • Icon issues with Snow Leopard upgrade

    Overall, my recent Snow Leopard (10.6.8) upgrade on my MacPro went well. I have one strange quirk, hopefully someone else has experienced and can help with. It has to do with the icon for an Illustrator .EPS file showing up incorrectly.
    Specifically: In folders with Illustrator EPS files that were created BEFORE the upgrade, the icon shows up incorrectly. (a default looking icon.)  To make it even more weird, if I go to "View Options", and uncheck "show icon preview", the icon show up correctly.
    In folders with Illustrator EPS files created AFTER the upgrade, the icons show up correctly. However, in View Options, the "show icon preview" box is unchecked! 
    So, I'm getting the opposite result from the View Options menu.
    Anybody know what's going on here?

    The old EPS files did not have an icon preview with them, so they use the default icon. The newer files have an icon preview that is being shown when "show icon preview" is enabled.
    If you don't need the icon previews, turn them off in the view options, and check use as defaults. Your computer will run faster, especially on folders with lots of files.
    You can also do a CMD I on any .eps file, and change the applicaiton these "open with" when double clicking, that would also change your default icon.

  • Weird outgoing mail issues after snow leopard upgrade

    After upgrading to snow leopard a couple of weeks ago (then immediately to 10.6.5), I have been having trouble sending mail from my work machine on one account. After reading these forums and trying several solutions (listed below), the thing which seemed to work for me was deleting the outgoing mail server entry in the preferences pane and re-entering the information. However, this solution does not always work for me, and is only temporary; after some amount of time (variable? on the order of minutes?) the problem recurs.
    If I open connection doctor the server in question displays a "Connecting to server..." message for a long time (minutes) and then "Could not connect to this SMTP server. Check your network connection and that you...". I get this behavior even just after resetting the smtp server, while I am successfully sending test emails.
    As with others here, the same account works fine on other machines.
    Things I have tried, on my own or based on advice read in the forums:
    1) specifying the port for the server in advanced settings
    2) Deleting and re-adding both the smtp server and the imap account
    3) Setting mobileme to manual sync
    4) "cd /var/log;touch mail.log;sudo chown root:admin mail.log; sudo chgrp 644 mail.log" (which doesn't produce any logs for me).
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I for got to add
    5) repair permissions in disk utility
    6) reboot

  • Can't Print After Snow Leopard Upgrade

    I have a home network centered around an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station. The base station is wired to a Linksys network switch which, in turn, is wired to two computers - an Apple Dual G5 running OS X 10.4.11 and a and Mac MIni which, until yesterday was running Leopard. I have an HP Laserjet P1006 connected to the USB port of the AEBS and, until yesterday, everything worked fine. Yesterday, I ran the Snow Leopard Upgrade on my Mini and now the Mini won't print to the HP over the network. If I connect the printer directly to the MIni, it works fine; as soon as I reconnect the printer to the AEBS, the Mini will no longer print. The lights on the printer will flash but nothing comes out. I have downloaded the HP Printer driver update from Apple but this didn't help. I have reset the AEBS, to no avail. The G5 running Tiger has no problems with printing. And, my daughter just got a brand-new MacBook Pro loaded with Snow Leopard from the factory and she can print to the HP over the network without any problems.
    Any ideas?

    When I upgraded iMac from Leopard to Snow Leopard 10.6 it also stopped printing wirelessly to Brother MFC6490CW.
    I thought I had this same issue with my Epson printer when wireless printing. Actually, in SL, wireless printing is very slow at least with an Epson. Takes about 5 minutes or so for wireless print to even start. When checking the printing status app, it will start out saying "printer ready." Then after a few minutes it will say "looking for printer." A few minutes later it will say "printing."
    When I go into the next room where the printer is, the green light is "flashing" letting me know that "printing" has started.
    So I guess what I am trying to say is to check the printing status app after you click "print." It's possible "Brother" is just as slow as "Epson."

  • Can I use a German Snow Leopard upgrade for my US iMac running Leopard?

    I just read that for certain Intel based iMac's it is still possible to upgrade to Maverick. I'd need to upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard, first, to start the process. The issue is that I'm in Germany. The German Apple site sells the Snow Leopard upgrade, but I don't know if I can use it to upgrade my US iMac (early 2008/Intel based/ running 10.5.8)? Does anybody know if there is a difference between the German and the US version?

    No difference what so ever other than the printing on the media.

  • Isight no longer works after snow leopard upgrade

    my isight no longer is available directly after snow leopard upgrade on my macbook black. Anyone else with the same problem? The isight does not show up in 'about this mac' under USB and I tried resetting SMC and PRAM.

    Hi,
    In Leopard there was an App called iSight Update app that was in Hard Drive/System/Library/Core Services
    This does not seem to be there in Snow Leopard.
    An issue with some computers with the camera was that in System Preferences > Displays the Colours needed to be set to Millions.
    Also check the Hard Drive/System/Library/Extensions folder and see that you have the Apple_iSight.kext (this is likely to handle the Internal iSights as well).
    One last thing.
    Some Web sites can make use of the camera using Flash.
    If that tab is still open the Browser may have use of the camera.
    It sounds like you have done computer restarts and this will not be the case unless the browser is set to go back to that page.

  • Can you format your hard-drive while upgrading from Leopard do Snow Leopard (upgrade version)?

    Hello,
    I want to purchase Snow Leopard (upgrade version) but I was planning on doing a format when installing it.
    Is it possible?
    Thank you!

    Yes, the 10.6.3 white retail disk can upgrade 10.5 to 10.6 via the installer, but you can also hold c  or option key down while booting from the disk and use Disk Utility to Erase and then install 10.6 fresh.
    Naturally all programs and user file will be removed, so you need to backup files first and take stock of your programs that will have to be reinstalled again from original sources.
    To get the white 10.6.3 disk, call Apple via the phone, it's not sold online anymore, or search Amazon.com or amc related websites for the disk.

    How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
    However if you choose to upgrade over 10.5, keeping your programs and files (backup files regardless) intact and it proceeds just fine, but want to improve the performance, you can use this method
    How to properly defrag a Mac's hard drive
    If your upgrading from 10.5 to get to 10.7 or 10.8, I don't advise it. Software Update to 10.6.8 max and stay there, your machine is too old.

  • IMovie Viewer issues Post Snow Leopard install

    Hi,
    I just fired up iMovie (09) after upgrading OS to Snow Leopard (newer iMac bought 4 months ago). I no longer see the project video in the viewer. The "raw" movies in Event Library play fine, but when trying to play the movie in the project library, I only get audio. If viewing in full screen mode, all is well. If i go back and press space bar from project Library, only audio.
    All worked fin prior to the snow leopard upgrade. Anybody know what is happening and how I can preview my movies from the project library again?
    Thx !
    Glenn

    Yes, we've been having quite a few issues since the upgrade, too. Now correlation does not equal causation, so I can't say for sure that Snow Leopard is the problem. All I know it that all this stuff started happening afterword.
    Here is the thread in which I posted my issues, some of which are quite similar to the those of Jay_S:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2141045&tstart=15
    Jay, the solution to your problem recommended by an Apple Expert seemed to fix things, so you might want to take a look. It's in the third paragraph.

  • Keyboard and mouse issues following Snow Leopard update

    I have a relatively ancient iMac--first aluminum bodied Intel-based model c. 2007. I was having issues updating my browsers (firefox, chrome) because I was on the old OS X (10.5.8 I think). So I did the Snow Leopard upgrade and since then have been having persistent keyboard (aluminum wireless) and mouse (mighty mouse connected via USB) issues.
    I have verified the keyboard is connected via Bluetooth. I have verified that the keyboard is responding by opening the keyboard viewer and watching each of the keys light up as I type. Also, the keyboard will wake the computer from sleep and sometimes allow me to toggle between programs with Command+Tab.
    Nevertheless, the keyboard will NOT type inside programs such as Word and Chrome. (It WILL type in the Post-it Note dashboard app, but I can't copy and paste into a browser from there.)
    The Mouse will work in Chrome but in Finder and iTunes, e.g., it will not work. I can't use the mouse to select a folder in the folder tree to the left or to select a song or file/folder in the main window. I CAN, however, use the mouse to minimize/maximize/close each window.
    Rebooting corrects the problem temporarily, but if I get up and walk away for a bit the keyboard and mouse re-freeze upon returning.
    I have reset the PRAM and SMC because I saw these fixes listed in other discussion threads. Neither has fixed my issue.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Steve

    Hi Steve,
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • Got Leopard 10.5.8 and the new Snow Leopard upgrade

    I got the snow leopard upgrade and I have 2 Mac's at home, 1 is an iBook G4 which is currently running 10.5.8 on it and I can't upgrade this machine because it's not intel based. I was now wondering if I should upgrade my iMac which has got intel/dual processor on it? will it make a difference as in when I want to access file sharing etc?
    Thanks

    File sharing can be done by normal networking, bonjour, FTP, bluetooth, FireWire and FireWire target mode, etc. Appletalk is gone. Which process do you intend to apply?
    Since you don't specify which you plan on using, the general answer is if you are flexible, you can expect no file sharing issues between the two. Lots of choices that both systems will support.

  • Snow leopard upgrade no icons no anything!!!

    hi hope you can help ,there is no icons on the desktop , there is no dock, there is no spotlight there is nothing when i boot into snow leopard , all my files are there and it boots to desktop normally in safe mode. but in normal mode nothing!! i tried repairing permissions and reinstalled the update again but nothing what do i need to do thanks. i up0dated with retail disk from tiger to sl thanks

    As nobody has responded yet ... and you've tried a few of the default troubleshooting things.
    Do you have a full backup of your system?
    Prior to the snow leopard upgrade?
    I don't have an immediate idea how to fix your normal user issue (besides permissions, which you did).
    I see two avenues.
    In safe mode, create a new user, disable auto-logon and then try to boot. It should give the log on screen. Log into that new user, see if the desktop populates and everything works. Then I'd do manual transfer of data and files from your old defective user. Time consuming and a bit delicate. But do-able.
    Or - provided you have a full copy of your hard drive and data files - do what is called a clean install of Snow Leopard, erasing the hard drive, then let Snow Leopard install and when prompted use migration assistant to pull in your applications and data from the full backup drive. 
    If you have not done these procedures before, wouldn't hurt to read up a little.
    Maybe a more experienced person can respond here with other thoughts.
    Another option is to call Apple Support. If you just purchased Snow Leopard, it came with support.
    Do you have extended AppleCare on the system, that could still be used?
    Maybe make an appointment at the Apple Store and take your mini in?

  • Wifi problems since 10.5.8 Update. Even after Snow Leopard Upgrade.

    Wifi problems since 10.5.8 Update. Even after Snow Leopard Upgrade.
    Is there any way to use a 10.5.7 wireless .kext files on Snow Leopard? And where can I find the files?

    Ok, I have the fix!! After several frustrating days it finally just works.
    The process:
    Upgrade your Macs to 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
    Powercycle your modem AND time capsule / airport TWICE
    Reset your time capsule with a pin or paperclip on the back
    Follow the prompts to setup your time capsule / airport access
    -- On your Macs
    Go to System Preferences > Network > Airport > Advanced > TCP/IP
    Click "Renew DHCP Lease" then click "Ok"
    Click Apply
    Turn off Airport
    Turn Airport on
    IT WORKS!!!
    One of the magical people at tech support walked me through it earlier today. The whole process took about 1.5 hrs because Show Leopard takes about an hour to install on one machine.
    Hope this helps-

  • Problems w/MS Office 2008 & Google Earth Ever Since Snow Leopard "Upgrade"

    I probably should have checked this forum before taking my son's advice to upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6. Ever since this upgrade, I've had repeated and frustrating problems with two applications: MS Office 2008 for the Mac and Google Earth for the Mac.
    Note that I did an "in-place" upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard, i.e., I inserted the installation DVD into my iMac and then double-clicked on "Install Mac OS X".
    Office 2008: Ever since the Snow Leopard upgrade, MS Office 2008 has been crashing. Typically, it's Entourage crashing when a crash does occur because that's the office app that I run 95% of the time. However, whenever Entourage crashes and I try to launch Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, they won't launch either... The icons will bounce a few times in the dock but won't run. (The Entourage crash is the only Office App that actually generates a crash window.) Note that there are two identities configured on my iMac, both of which which use Entourage. The key thing about this situation is that when the Office 2008 crash does occur, restarting the iMac ALWAYS resolves the problem until the next time a crash occurs. I've tried to determine what combination of events, i.e., apps open/being used in either/both identities, etc. is the trigger, but I can't find anything obvious. Sometimes I can use the iMac for a whole day without a crash, but that's unusual. If Entourage is left open in both identities, maybe a couple of days will pass without a crash, but invariably it happens again, and then it's reboot time again. In cases where Entourage is left running (in one or both identities), we will still eventually get a crash in one of them if one of us tries to open a WinWord attachment (with a "Not enough memory to run Word" error). If at that point I close Entourage and try to restart it, it crashes. I've tried everything I could find on the Office for the Mac forums, including deleting duplicate fonts, doing a safe start-up, fixing disk permissions via Disk Utility, zapping the PRAM, turning filing sharing off then on (including deleting everything listed in the Shared Folders section), logging out/logging back in, etc., all to no avail. One of the Office 2008 for the Mac forum contributors suggested that the problem was with my Snow Leopard Install, but then a contributor to another more general Apple forum blames Office for Mac. (This is exactly the sort of finger-pointing exercise that I'd hoped to avoid when I made the plunge from being a long-time Windows user to becoming an OS X user...; - )
    Google Earth: This just flat-out WILL NOT RUN ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard. When I try to run it, it bounces in the dock for about a minute then just stops, staying fixed to the dock until I do a Force-Quit. (I don't have it permanently tethered to the dock since I only use it occasionally.) I've tried deleting/reinstalling, including Google Earth's suggestions to remove files from my identity's Google Earth folder in the Library folder, but no dice.
    My take on all of this is that despite all of Apple's advertising to the contrary, their OS (including updates to their OS) isn't necessarily as trouble-free/stable as their anti-Windows spots would have you believe. Sorry for this long post, but any help would be much appreciated.

    I left my system running all day in 64-bit kernel mode. (I left Entourage running the whole time.) Just now closed Entourage and tried reopening it. Same deal with Google Earth. They both crashed. Here's a screen paste of the entire Microsoft crash log for Entourage:
