Lost previews and snow leapord

Since upgrading to snow leapord l can no longer see previews when l go back to look at projects. l re imported some images from the weekend again last night to a new project, previews were fine then but when l go to the project today there is just the grey background, no outlines. Older previews in projects pre snow leapord are all still fine. Any thoughts many thanks

I'm having the same problem as well. The default Control / Arrow does nothing since upgrading to SL. I've gone into Systems Prefs and set up alternate keys to both cut on and move between the spaces windows. Nothing works!!
This kind of ***** as I use Spaces all of the time for my work.

CS6: lost previews and thumbnails

Surprisingly this is not in the FAQ section: how do you folks get around the problem of having no previews when opening a file from Windows Explorer?
I realise Adobe wants us to use Bridge but I'm sure I am not alone in finding this unstable and slow.
Another forum recommends intalling Sagethumbs which is great for showing thumbails in Windows folders, and also shows really tiny thumbnails when opening a file in Detail view.
But I really miss having the preview pane to see full size images when selecting a file to open in Detail view.
Has anyone found a workaround for this issue?

I like the FastPictureViewer Codec pack myself. FULL support for all the functions required of codecs. Commercial software, but quite inexpensive and well worth the price.

Snow Leapord slow on my MacBook.?

So i just got a MacBook 2.16 ghz core 2 Duo 1 Gig of ram and snow leapord is kinda.. not slow but i get the spinning wheal alot. especially in garageband and iphoto. Any reasons? this is my first mac too i love it besides that.

There was a whole discussion a while back on 4 vs 3 vs 2. You can install 3 to great benefit, but there was also a weird recommendation for equal pairs of RAM chips ( 2GB plus 2GB ) as a way to maximize shared video performance or something. The question was: since only 3GB can be used, then using 2 pairs of 2 was a waste of a GB. The answer was that 4 was still faster. All I know is that having just one GB places a big limit on OSX. I found that old discussion. Google may have more answers after all the time that has gone by since then.

I have an older Mac Pro (2006). I want to install Boot Camp and Windows. I have installed a boxed Snow Leapord on the machine. And it says the download of the Boot camp drivers cannot continue because they are not available. But at that point I have not inserted a windows disk, so how does it know i have XP?
So it appears I am limited to Windows 7? And where are the Windows 7/Boot Camp Drivers? On the OS disk?
Finally, since I have necer considered Windows 7 before, I assume there are no compatability issues with mainstream applications that were running in XP?
Thank you.

You're welcome
Just remember to reformat the partition (bootcamp partition) to NTFS with the windows installer, ensure to pick the correct partition.

Updated to snow Leapord and now my time capsule is slow

Recently updated Mac mini to snow Leapord and since then my wireless network is 2mb/s or slower on my 1TB time capsule. Can anyone help?

Hello. I don't know what part of the world you're in but if you're in North America TVs typically operate on the NTSC format and if you're in another part of the world PAL is used. If you have an option in System Preferences, make sure the appropriate choice is selected.

Print menu different since upgrading to Lion 10.7.4. Pop up menu no longer has Preview and lost paper size selection. Photos all printing credit card size. Still using iPhoto 6.0.6. Have upgraded printer drivers.

Print menu is different since upgrading to Lion 10.7.4. Pop up menu no longer has Preview and lost paper size selection. Photos are all printing credt card size and I can't get it changed. (Have tried changing in Page Setup.) Have upgraded my printer drivers, but still no luck. Still using iPhoto 6.0.6.

A slow boot time can be caused by login items.
User Login Items:
    Flux
    NoSleep
    ClipMenu
    Canon IJ Network Scanner Selector2
    BetterTouchTool

Open System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items
Remove one login item noted above then restart your Mac to test. It may be one or multiple items causing the slow boot.

Hello, I currently have a MacBook snow leapord and i'm trying to connect it with my Canon MP560 printer, i put in the CD and installed everything properly but now when i add a printer it says a Queue already exists, i click continue and nothing happens???

Hello,
I'm using a MacBook Snow Leapord and I'm trying to connect it with my Canon MP560 printer/scanner.
I installed the CD and followed along with the manual and did everything it asked, at the end it told me it was finished.
So then I went to go print something and an error had occured so i went to the file menu on Microsoft Word for
Mac and clicked Print/Add Printer and then i click on the Canon MP560 series-1 as it was the only one to click on.
When I did it stated that I already has a Queue for this printer and if I'd like to add a new one so I clicked continue and nothing
had happend. PLEASE HELP
sincerely,
Laura.

I would recommend to download the driver appropriate for your system from the Canon webiste or, after installing it, to run software update and it will detect it for you.
If you have the last driver appropriate for your system, you may wish to reset the printing system. To do this, go to Sys prefs/print and fax and, upon clicking minus button, also press Option/alt key. You will be asked to confirm, do it. Then, add the printer by pressing plus button, it should work now.
But, before doing this, download the last good driver, CDs usually contain outdated drivers.

I would like to leave my iMac on Snow Leapord to use Power PC software, and run Mountain Lion on my Macbook pro. I am getting an iPhone 5. Is there a way to use mail on all of them?

I would like to leave my iMac on Snow Leapord to use Power PC software, and run Mountain Lion on my Macbook pro. I am getting an iPhone 5. Is there a way to use mail on all of them with the same accounts?

Any IMAP e-mail account can be accessed from all devices just fine. You don't need to upgrade from Snow Leopard to be able to access an IMAP e-mail account. However, Snow Leopard won't have built-in support for iCloud. As mende1 points out, you can still read your iCloud e-mail from Snow Leopard, but you have to set it up manually. You won't be able to do things like sync your iCloud calendar or addresses with iCal or Address Book on the iMac, though.

Upgrading from snow leapord to mavericks, i couldn't opened app store, messenger, ibook,FaceTime, maps and other. please help

Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.
Safe Mode
Safe Mode - About
If that doesn't work, do a backup. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Then reinstall the OS.

Macbook slow and horrible battery, downgrade to snow leapord?

So I have a late 2008 13" macbook currently running Mavericks (2.4 core 2 due/8gb ram). Its performance is getting dated, and battery life is awful even on new battery (1.5-2 hours). My usage is not heavy, mostly web browsing/email and sometimes some rare photo editing and I'd like to stretch this mac out another year.
To do this, one thing that is certain is an SSD upgrade. Now my question is though, which route should I go after that:
Option 1: Clean install mavericks/yosemite and hope the SSD upgrade is sufficient with the old cpu/new software
or
Option 2: Clean install of Snow leapord even though support has ceased. If i go this route, my 8gb ram will not be compatible correct? I think 6gb was the max (unless the firmware update to allow 8gb can still be used in snow leapord?)
Either way, I liked snow leapord the best, and dont need all the new IOS integration since i'm an android user anyway. I'd just like to hear the communities thoughts.
Has anyone done this downgrade to SL from mavericks, is it worth it?
Whats the best way to do this with the new SSD?
Would snow leopard help my battery life?
I'm not sure i have the original leopard disk, but i do have my snow leopard upgrade disc to use for clean install if that would work?
Any comments are appreciated, Thanks.

Google Talk and iChat Snow Leapord

I am trying to find out if any other people can not longer video chat with a Jabber account using gmail account to anyone else that uses Google Talk. This set up worked fine before the upgrade to Snow Leapord and iChat 5.0
I have contacted Apple support and they will not offer support for setting up Google Talk.
I also have a Mobile Me account and still can not seem to video chat using a specific Apple test account.
So I looking for any help with that does use iChat and Google Talk

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
In iChat > Preferences > Video section Set the Bandwidth Limit drop down to 500kbps
This may help with the Audio issue with iChat Buddies.
Jabber Buddies not using iChat may not even be able to Video as very few Jabber Servers do this. (And they are working on their own Protocols called Jingle)
GoogleTalk is a Jabber server but have chosen their own method to do Video (not the same Codecs as iChat)
The Web Mail page chat option uses Flash. This seems to be compatible with the PC based Googletalk App (but not with iChat)
These maybe more readily found solutions
Alternatives to iChat but Video chatting In a Web Browser
MeBeam. An option to use a Web site that create Private room for Video Chatting. Uses Flash to access your Camera and Mic.
iVideoChat Similar setup but a somewhat corporate type look to the site. Has Public rooms as well. Again uses Flash.
Googlemail/GoogeTalk now do a Version in a Web Browser
Tokbox A Site that can link your existing Buddy Lists that USes Flash to Video chat in a Browser.

Difference between snow leapord and lion

Hi .. I am trying to analyse the wifi driver code for mac os x and I am not getting what is the exact difference between snow leapord and lion in driver side.. I could only find the differnce in framework of ioctl .. could anyone tell me what is the exact difference other than features.. i mean in driver code..
Thanks in advance...

You can greatly reduce your level of concern, if you use an external drive to make a cloned duplicate of your current internal drive. You can use Carbon Copy Cloner
http://www.bombich.com
It seems to no longer be free (it was voluntary "donationware" before), but you can use it for free during a 30-day trial period. A "clone" is an exact duplicate of a hard drive volume, such as your usual internal startup disk. You can also use Disk Utility to make the duplicate, but using Carbon Copy Cloner is more straight forward.
Once you have the clone on an external drive volume, you can go to System Preferences Startup Disk pane and set the clone as the startup disk. Restart from the clone to confirm it is working properly. Once you are satisfied, start up from your usual internal startup disk and perform the system upgrade.
If there is a problem with the upgraded system, you can start up from the clone (on the external drive volume) like you did before, and "clone the clone" back to the internal drive. Since the clone is a duplicate of your startup disk immediately before you upgraded, you will be "back to square one."
NOTE: You should also use Time Machine for ongoing backups. You can also use your Time Machine backup to restore your system back to a previous state (in this case immediately before the upgrade). However, you cannot start up from a Time Machine backup, so having a bootable cloned backup feels safer. But, if you use Time Machine, it's good to know that you have a secondary way to restore the state of the previous system, if needed.

PREVIEW and QUICKTIME slow to load in SNOW LEOPARD

I've just started having a problem (after years of working perfectly) where files are taking FOREVER (up to 30 seconds anyway) to load in both PREVIEW and QUICKTIME.
This occurs both when opening files fully with double-clicking - and when wanting to Preview by just pressing the space bar. I utilise the latter frequently to audition samples (as I work with music/Logic). This used to be an instantaneous process but can now take up to 30 seconds with the "Loading Preview" message before finally loading.
It seems to be happening with all files, irrespective of size or type (ie mp3/WAV/AIFF/MOV etc)
Very ocasionally - and apparently randomly - a file will load quickly.
I've tried reparing Permissions, running Disk Warrior, reinstalling Preview, uninstalling Perian, opening another User account (in case there was a software conflict of some kind), and cloning my System onto a brand new HD with lots of free space. But none of these have made any difference.
Anyone have any other ideas as to what this might be?
Cheers in advance:)

hey andy
yeah there definitely appears to be some kind of issue (with core audio?) when i check out Console as this happens.
i've looked at the subsequent diagnostic report but not sure how to interprete it.
wold it be useful to post it here?
cheers

Preview and Finder showing photos with the right rotation, once imported to iPhoto its lost

Hi,
I'm geting nuts with this issue.
For my own camera all works fine. 90° rotated pics show up in Finder, Preview and iPhoto correctly. Landscape is landscape, portrait is portrait.
Now I got photos shared (using Dropbox) from a friends camera. Finder and Preview also show landscape and portraits correctly rotated.
But, once I import them (by drag&drop from the Finder) into iPhoto, all portrait photos are landscape now and need to be rotated 90°. This is the same for Thumbnails, full screen and even slideshow.
The only difference when importing those photos is, for my own I use the import out of iPhoto (by plugging the SD directly to the Mac), the other photos are imported from the Finder with drag&drop.
BTW, the rotation information for all photos are correct in Preview (1 for normal photos, 8 or 6 for 90° rotated).
So what is the problem here? I'm going nuts.
Thanks in advance.
Monty

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.

Help with Lost Files and Previews!

Hi all!
I'm in a bit of a panic. I imported a folder into Lightroom and made standard previews.
I have large standard sized previews (and some 1:1 previews) on top of my mini thumbnails.
The I did something very very stupid... I accidentally deleted my original photos!!!!
The original photos are gone for good (yes, I stupidly emptied the trash).
Of course it's now appearing in Red in my Lightroom library.
So here's the help I need.... I still have the large standard size previews in Lightroom. It's not as big as my original files but it's better than nothing!
How can I convert my existing previews into JPG files? I tried Exporting the files, but Lightroom returns an error. It seems to look for the original files.
Is there a way for me to pull out and save these standard previews?
Thanks!
Leo

What kind of computer are you on? If you haven't done much with your computer since and your disk is not nearly full, you may be able to retrieve them.
If it's windows, I've used freeundelete:
http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,25465-order,1-page,1-c,alldownloads/description. html
There is a thread about getting the previews but I don't remember the details.
And after you do those two things, it's time to review your procedures. Like don't delete the files from your camera card UNTIL you do a backup? Which LR can do if you like.
