Known Snow Leopard Issues Question?

Ok, i have the Acrobat 10 Pro, and CS3, and just upgraded to 10.6.3, and my Acrobat will not open AT ALL...is this part of the known issues, because this hasnt happened at all until upgrading to 10.6.3? Being the most used program on my MB....i hope its not, and something that can be fixed.....any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Help or suggestions welcome!!
I have same problem. Installed OS 10.6.3 and now Acrobat 9 Pro will not open. Worked well up to that point (except earlier updates failed but I ignored as program seemed OK)
Now program starts to opena and then get "Problen Report for Acrobat" with message "Acrobat Quit Unexpectedly"
Reinstalling from dmg after running the uninstall program did not fix.
Ran disk utility and could only verify disc. Did not open option to check and reset permissions. Said disk appears to be OK. Did not fix.

Illustrator CS4 in Snow Leopard Issues

I have a logo file that I created in Illustrator CS4 on an iMac running Snow Leopard and it does not display some of the text layers when saving for the web or saving as an Illustrator CS3 file or copying and pasting into Photoshop CS4. Basically the text layers are just standard text using Adobe Garamond Pro (Italic and Regular) fonts and white text on a black background. In the original file both text lines look fine but when I try to save using one of the other methods above I no longer see the 2nd text line. So, in effect I can't create the JPEG or GIF that I need from this logo. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Steve

Maybe not a cs4/snow leopard issue but an overprinting issue?
Is the white text that goes away set to overprint?

Snow Leopard Upgrade Questions

Hello Folks,
I am a newbie to MacBooks. I just "created" two MacBooks using "donor" parts (which I affectionately call "FrankenMacs" LOL). Both MacBooks are Model A1181, late 2007-vintage with the Intel 2.2GHz Core 2 Duo processor and running Leopard 10.5.8. Thankfully, both work quite well :-)
I purchased a Snow Leopard "Family Pack" CD through eBay which had 4 uses left. I installed Snow Leopard, then made upgrades, on the computer I am using now and there are no issues.
I have several questions with regard to this upgrade:
First, the original hard drives were 120GB, and there were 80GB (for OSX) and 40GB NTFS (for Boot Camp/Windows) partitions on each drive. I plan on leaving the 120GB drive on one of the MacBooks and putting in a 320GB or 750GB hard drive on the other. I would like to either repartition the drive on the 120GB so the NTFS partition is much smaller, or eliminate that partition altogether. I tried changing that using the Disk Utility but it will not do it, presumably because it is the primary drive. Is there any other way I can do that? Regarding the larger drive, which was originally all NTFS format, can I install that drive (I will use Seagate Sea Tools for DOS to erase that with my Linux OS desktop computer) in the MacBook, boot it using the Snow Leopard Disc, then formatting and installing Snow Leopard? If I can, how is that done?
If I cannot install Snow Leopard with an erased drive, can I install it on another drive and clone that drive using Seagate Sea Tools for DOS? I tried cloning the 120GB drive (which had Leopard on it) to the 320GB drive, but I ended up with an 80GB partition and the remainder was NTFS. That drive booted up but, like the 120GB drive, I could not repartition or erase/eliminate the NTFS.
I would like to use the 64-bit version of Snow Leopard (according to Apple, this processor is 64-bit capable); will that install automatically, or is there something I need to do?
Finally, would it be worth my while to eventually upgrade to Lion? I don't think I can go to Mountain Lion with this MacBook, but Lion would be OK if it would be worth spending the extra quid.
Thanks so much in advance for your advice.

Will I need to install any prior version to use the upgrade using only serial numbers,
No,
or do I only need the serial numbers for the prior upgrades?
Yes
Doesn't the upgrade software need to detect an installed prior version?
No

Snow leopard issues with windows for Mac

I installed snow leopard on my Mac Bk and I-Mac, Mac Bk no issues. On my I-mac the excel and Power point icons on the dock base show question marks and those to programs a gone. Word still appears and works, any help

Icons in the Dock represent applications stored on your machine. They can be in various locations (User folders or external hard drives).
When they show as a question mark it means the Dock can no longer find the source application. To restore functionality you need to remove the question mark icon (click, hold and drag up) and drag the source app back into the Dock. An "alias" is created that "links" to the source app.

Upgrade MacBook 2,1 to Snow Leopard issues

hello folks
over the holidays i took on the task of upgrading my 91-year-old fearless mom's aging MacBook (running Tiger OS X 10.4.11) so that she can use FaceTime to chat with her kids, grandkids and great-grandkids. since Snow Leopard is the farthest she can go without hacking (though Lion seems possible) i ordered a Snow Leopard Install DVD from Apple and 4 gig of RAM and an SSD drive from Other World Computing. the SSD was a 120 GB OWC Mercury Electra 3g SATA II - recommended by OWC for this particular MacBook model. i ordered their upgrade bundle, which came with an external USB enclosure for the old drive. installation of the memory and HD was a snap. to cover any possible gotchas i also ran a clone of her old HD using SuperDuper prior to doing the HD upgrade. once everything was in place i booted up to the clone and formatted and restored her data to the SSD. booted to the internal SSD and had a very peppy MacBook. phase two is where things got very strange: when i booted to the OS X 10.6.3 Install DVD and started the process of installing Snow Leopard i found that the SSD drive was not being found by Disk Utility - i could see the CD drive and my external HD with her clone, but no SSD. since there is no way to quit the installer (that i could find) i forced a shutdown and did some research. the SSD is formatted as GUID and extended (journalled), S.M.A.R.T status ok. i'm leery of pulling the SSD out and attempting to install SL on an external drive, due to the age of the machine and my own thumb-fingeredness. any suggestions would be welcomed. i have to head back home tomorrow, so likely i won't be able to finish this till our next visit, but i'd love to figure this out.
cheers
bruce

If it was a Core Duo this could be the problem:
http://store.apple.com/us/question/answers/product/MC573Z/A/i-have-a-macbook-2-g hz-intel-core-2-duo-running-104-if-i-buy…
". Be careful when you upgrade from 10.4. The 10.4 hard drive is probably formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Snow Leopard requires the hard drive to be formatted as a GUID. A Mac OS Extended drive will have to be wiped/reformatted/partitioned to get to GUID."

Snow Leopard issues ... a few.

Morning all!
I've had a few SL niggles since the upgrade, but when a carbon copy cloner backup failed last night I've started digging.
1. Screen corruption, only happened once, had to force reboot. Whole screen was corrupt.
2. Cannot open screen saver preference pane, crashes. Seeing this in the console:
20/10/2009 06:47:22 [0x0-0x73073].com.apple.ScreenSaver.Engine[1144] Tue Oct 20 06:47:22 xxx.local ScreenSaverEngine[1144] <Error>: Corrupt JPEG data: premature end of data segment
3. Console is constantly writing this error:
20/10/2009 08:54:50 [0x0-0xa30a3].com.apple.Console[2257] Tue Oct 20 08:54:50 xxx.local Console[2257] <Error>: kCGErrorFailure: cglsCreateContext = 10015
Short of a fresh OS install are any of these common and easily solvable issues? I did a fresh SL install originally and then restored my user stuff from a backup but I'm thinking perhaps I should do another and re-install everything manually.
Cheers,
Adam

Why not just try a normal install of Snow Leopard? IOW, just put the disc in the optical drive, launch the install app, & let it run, without erasing anything beforehand. This allows the installer to move anything it knows to be incompatible with Snow Leopard to the "Incompatible Applications" folder & to do some minor adjustments to the user home folder items.
It may not solve all your problems but it gives you a good starting point to eliminate the rest of them. If problems persist, check your login items (System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items tab) for any suspicious items.

Snow leopard conversion question

I have two separate questions
1) I have my macbook setup the way I want it with all of my files all organized and itunes all loaded, etc. If I upgrade to Snow Leopard do I basically start from scratch? Will I have to reload all my software, files, preferences, etc?
2) I run bootcamp at work and I absolutely need my Windows to stay untouched, will upgrading to Snow Leopard affect my Windows partition?
Thanks for all your help, I'm a recent PC to Mac convert, so I'm new to this.

1) I have my MacBook setup the way I want it with all of my files all organized and iTunes all loaded, etc. If I upgrade to Snow Leopard do I basically start from scratch?
No. It will just upgrade OSX. It shouldn;t change anything in your home folder.
Will I have to reload all my software, files, preferences, etc.?
If all your files and data are in your home folder, and you haven't moved any OSX system files or applications from their original locations, everything should be the same after the upgrade.
2) I run Boot Camp at work and I absolutely need my Windows to stay untouched, will upgrading to Snow Leopard affect my Windows partition?
The Snow Leopard DVD should have updated drivers for Boot Camp, but just upgrading OSX shouldn't touch the Windows partition. You will have to boot Windows to install its drivers.
In any case, make sure you have good backups of the entire drive before upgrading. The drive does a lot of work during an upgrade, so if it;'s about to fail, it will probably happen during an upgrade.

Can I use i-cloud on snow leopard + another question~

Just updtaed my iphone 4 to use i-cloud, now my icloud set up is telling me to ensure that I have Snow Leopard ($29? I cant afford it now). Can put i-cloud on my MAC with Snow Leopard? Also, a question about whats saved on i-cloud... can you select and unselect individgual files that I may not want saved on the
i-cloud? Say, photos or songs I only want to remain to remain on my MAC.. some items may be sensative, and just do not want them floating in some cloud.. THANKS for your help.

Forgive me, I am so not that MAC inteligent. I thought i-cloud was a way to share content between my divices, my MAC, Iphone and that content is saved on i-cloud.. if I download a pic on my MAC, I can access it on my i-phone via cloud. If I download music on my i-phone, I can play it on my mac via i-cloud... Correct? With that said, I can not afford the LION UPgrade. So, if I am understanding correct. i-tunes in the cloud will do basicaly the same but its limited to MUSIC only?

there is no automated way to do that. basically you need to copy everything you need by hand. see this post on where some important data is stored
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6185507
but before you go through all that trouble, make a new account and make sure that the problems that were bothering you are not present there. they might be system-wide in which case making a new account will not help.

Snow Leopard language question

Hi I have a Macbook with Leopard in english, I bought Snow Leopard in the Mexico online Apple Store because I live in the border and it was easier for me, and my order says MAC OS X 10.6 SNOW LEOPARD RETAIL-SPA, my question is, am I gonna have Snow Leopard in Spanish?, because I didn't have any option to change the language, and I want it in english, is there any way to change the language during the installation?

I've found my Snow Leopard install software is in a far eastern language. Perhaps Japanese, but I wouldn't know for sure. Main startup page is in English, but then I'm asked to agree to the licence agreement without being able to understand a word. Installation options are in the other language too - apart from Rosetta and QuickTime 7. Can I select the language, or do I have to install this blind?

Time Machine Snow Leopard Issues

Hello all,
I'm in need of some help.
Long story short, I just wiped out my Macbook Pro running 10.6.2...everything is fine.
I want to restore my computer using a time machine backup I did just prior to deleting the drive. The problem is, I can;t find my snow leopard disk. All I could find were the original disks that came with the computer. My question is, when I use that DVD to do the time machine restore, will my computer be restored back to Leopard, or will it remain in Snow Leopard like before. (The restore disks are from Leopard)
Thanks in advance,
Leif

you can NOT use a leopard disk to do a full system restore from snow leopard backups. doing so will result in an unbootable system. you must use a snow leopard disk for that. I suggest you find yours.

Snow Leopard Newbie Question

Thinking of installing SL, but am wary of losing data, the time it takes etc.
What advantages will I get from SL?
Do I need to be worried about losing data: will I need to restore with Time Machine after? Is there a way to test my Time Machine backup before I do that?
Thanks!

System Upgrade and Installation Procedure
Basic Caveats
1. Disconnect all peripherals except the original mouse and keyboard.
2. Quit all applications if this is not an installation from an Installer DVD.
3. The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation you may have to erase the hard drive and reinstall from scratch.
4. Once the installation begins do not use the computer in any way except to reply to dialog prompts or to restart when the installation is completed. This is especially critical during the installation stage known as "Optimizing the System."
System Update Procedure
A. Repair hard drive and permissions.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.) After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.2 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X. Note that Disk Warrior will not work on Intel Macs.
B. Clone your existing system to an external Firewire drive.
How to Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the startup or source volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Drag the startup or source volume to the Source entry field.
5. Select the backup or destination volume from the leftside list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Check the box to Erase Destination. Skip this step if you've already formatted the drive.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
C. Decide upon an installation option.
You have three upgrade options. If you use the Upgrade installation option be sure you have repaired the hard drive and permissions first and made your backup. If you choose the Archive and Install option then you only need to repair the hard drive.
Neither of the above options will erase the disk. Some of your software may not work with a new system. You will need to upgrade those programs. It would be best to do the upgrades to your software before upgrading to the new system version.
Snow Leopard does not provide any installation options. If the installer finds an existing system then it automatically upgrades it using a variation on an Archive and Install. If the target volume is erased then the installer performs a fresh installation of OS X. The Snow Leopard installer does not erase a target volume. Only the user can erase a volume, and that requires running Disk Utility from within the SL installer.
As for what SL brings to the table just visit www.apple.com/macosx. You'll find page after page of information, help, tutorials, etc.

Logic 8 and possible Snow Leopard Issue

Ok folks, this is my first post/problem on the apple discussion boards....here it goes. Hopefully someone can tell me what my problem:
Specs: MacBook Pro 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM: Operating on Snow Leopard.
Logic Pro 8.0.2; Lexicon Omega USB as the core audio.
Problem: First of all, I work primarily with MIDI and some vocal audio. Ever since I installed snow leopard on my computer Logic has been giving me a lot of problems. My CPU can't even handle one VST plugin with a couple effects on it now. Sometimes even just playing an instrument, one of the ram sticks will spike and either crash logic or say it's overloaded and cut out the audio. This happens either with a single instrument, or with a sequence I created, it can't play the loop back all the way through without saying "core audio overload". I primarily use Komplete 5 software instruments by Native Instruments, and I know these eat up CPU but it was never like this before I installed Snow Leopard. I tried dumbing down the I/O buffer size, and process buffer range, but none of these seem to make a difference. Why is it only one CPU bar that spikes? I'm not running anything else on the computer at the time. Is 2GB of ram not enough anymore?
One more issue that might help someone troubleshoot this...actually playing the instruments isn't as much of an obstacle as playback. Also, any session that I've made under the old operation system, if I try and open it up and play it, it either overloads IMMEDIATELY or the actual software instruments don't play, and the only way to make them play is to rewire them by taking them off and putting them back on again.
I can usually troubleshoot these things myself but for some reason I'm scared that it's a RAM issue and that I will need to buy a new computer to continue my producing. Because 2 is as high as this macbook goes, right? I hope it's just a USB thing and I need to upgrade my interface or switch to firewire.
Can anyone offer some advice or a solution to this problem?
Thanks,
J

wow, thanks guys.

Snow Leopard issues with Word for Mac 2004?

Are there any compatibility issues? Since I installed the Leopard, I've had to uninstall and reinstall Word Office for Mac twice.

Did you resolve the duplicate fonts using Font Book? See +Troubleshooting Office for Mac with Snow Leopard+

Snow Leopard Upgrade Question

Hi,
I want to upgrade from 10.5 to Snow Leopard and am running CS4.
I have read the best way to do this is a clean install. I was wondering if I do a clean install will I have problems reinstalling Photoshop since I have not upgraded to CS5.
Also, is it really necessary to do a clean install?
Any help would be appreciated.

If you do a regular upgrade it is a clean install of the OS. It doesn't refresh all your applications, drivers, add on fonts, your documents, etc. It is a complete new OS, system fonts, system software etc.
So if all of your stuff is ok you don't need a 'clean' install. I didn't do a clean install from Leopard to Snow Leopard.
The last time I felt I needed to do a clean install I did it on another drive leaving my old OS completely intact (which is a good idea to do with an upgrade also). So if something goes wrong (in the upgrade) or if you forget something (in a clean install) you are moments away from being fully operational.
But alas Im not sure any of this is what you are asking. If you are asking about the CS4 license running on a clean install I believe that you won't have any issues.
