Mac Book RAM & Snow Leopard Upgrade Issues

My daughter in law upgraded her MacBook memory to 2 GB and installed Snow Leopard.  She has iPhoto 2008.  Since the upgrade, any movies imported into iPhoto will not play in iPhoto as they had before.  Also, since these changes, any videos she's downloaded have a "jerky" or hesitating transition between frames so people or animal movements are not smooth.
Any thoughts as to what might be wrong and how I can fix these problems?

[Try what is suggested here|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1440?viewlocale=en_US]. No luck? Then I would try installing Sno over whatever is there as if doing an upgrade install.

  • Had to restore my Mac Book with Snow Leopard. My i Life disc appears to be damaged, and I can't restore my iPhoto application. I have searched for downloads but all appear to be upgrades. Any ideas on how to restore iphotos

    Given what you describe you will have to upgrade Snow Leopard by downloading and installing Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. Then go to the App Store and sign in with your Apple ID. Purchase and download Mountain Lion to upgrade your OS. Then purchase the latest upgrades for the iLife applications which includes iPhoto.
    Or you can go on eBay, Google, or Amazon and purchase another copy of the DVD based iLife.

    How do I install my old my 2010 Mac book pro/ Snow Leopard 10.6.3 program on a power Mac G5 Desktop

    A PowerPC G4 or G5 can't be upgraded past 10.5.8. If you're trying to install an application and not a newer Mac OS X version, check its system requirements and use the original disk or download.

    In fact, do 3 in a row, takes a bit of time.
    Does it load other DVDs?

  • So, I've taken my panasonic printer back to the shop and exchenged it for a Canon MF-4430. Alas... the generic drivers do not make it print. Is it possible to get drivers to make this canon printer work with my lovely Mac Book Pro Snow Leopard, 6.8?

    I could not find a MF-4430 at the Canon site. Are you sure the model is correct? They have a MF4450. The Mac drivers are here:

    If you are sure you have a MF4430, look around the canon site for the drivers.

  • Direct Upgrade from 10.4.11 to 10.6 Using Mac OS X Snow Leopard Upgrade

    Can I upgrade my MacBook (Intel Core 2 Duo) directly from Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger) to 10.6 (Snow Leopard) using the retail upgrade version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard?

    Apple's site says you need to install Leopard first, then upgrade to Snow Leopard.

  • Mac Noobie will Snow Leopard Upgrade Wipe My MAC

    Hi,
    I am a noob when it comes to macs as I am more of a windows person :o but I have a macbook to. I am looking to preorder for a mac snow leopard upgrade. but I was wondering when you install the new OS will it wipe my harddrive like it would on a pc

    I preordered myself and am also a noob to Apple computers.
    I believe it will be fine because of you read the apple write up is says that it looks for programs that won't run on it and "puts them aside." This statement tells me that it doesn't erase the programs. I hope for you me and everyone else i'm correct.

  • I have a mac book with snow leopard. Can I upgrade to the lion os

    I have a mac book ( couple years old) and would like to know if I am able to install the lion OS from the app store?

    We would need more details regarding your MacBook. But it has to be minimum Core2Duo processor and 2GB of RAM. If you go to the Apple Menu select About this Mac for the info.

  • Snow Leopard upgrade issues

    The optical drive on my Macbook Pro no longer reads DVD's. That includes the Snow Leopard install disc. Is there any way I can upgrade to Snow Leopard without a functioning optical drive?

    Thanks for the info. I've tried everything you mentioned as well as following the instructions in the article you sent and for some reason, when I restart the computer (with the bad optical drive), the only option I have is to startup with the existing startup disk.
    The remote installler on the good computer says I should either have the Mac OS X disc image, or the option to choose a wi-fi network, depending on how I initiate the install. But each time, I don't have any other options to choose from.
    I think we may be nearing the end of our rope. If you've got any more suggestions, I'd gladly accept them.
    Thanks again.

  • I bought MAC OS X Snow Leopard upgrade (currently on 10.5.8) but the disc keeps ejecting . . I've cleaned it but it still doesn't work.  Help!!

    OS upgrade disc won't read.

    Then you may have a bad optical drive. Does it read any other discs? If it does then the Snow Leopard DVD may be defective.

  • Snow leopard upgrade issue

    Since upgrading to Snow Leopard a safari window opens intermittently on its own which is blank but has an address of http://googleads......... does anyone else encounter this?
    This is the full address that comes up in the blank window!
    https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/drt/si?p=CAA&ut=AFAKxlQAAAAATl09YX1ek 4aRsgtW-zOxbsWdGpCgtgdX

    Personally I use Firefox, precisely because I have more control over cookies.
    Sounds like Safari is dialling out in response to that tracking cookie, but handling it wrong and opening a new window. There have been a number of similar threads recently.
    The cookie appears to be a persistent one; here's a reply to another thread on the subject.
    First thing to try is to block Flash Cookies (Locally Stored Objects). In System Preferences / Other / Flash Player, check the option to "block all sites..."
    Then hit the Delete All button. (Have a look first under the settings button if you wish)
    That will take care of one kind of persistent cookie, but you should also read these articles;
    http://ashkansoltani.org/docs/respawn_redux.html
    http://samy.pl/evercookie/
    I would also recommend Little Snitch, which will allow you to block Safari and other apps from contacting those sites.

  • MacBook Pro - Snow Leopard Upgrade issue

    Just installed Snow Leopard on a 2.53GHz MacBook Pro (summer '09). The machine continues the pinwheel at bootup forever, never actually doing anything. No error, no freezing….just endless.
    Any ideas of what this could be?

    Basically, I went from 10.5.8 for a friend, installed Snow Leopard on his MBP, and during reboot it just gets stuck.
    Repaired Permissions
    Repaired Disk
    Reset SMC
    Re-installed Snow Leopard.
    Now unsure what to do. Couldn't do an install of Leopard 10.5 except the Erase or Archive. The archive wouldn't allow me to check "Preserve users".
    Does that mean I will erase all his data like documents, etc? Either way, I'd rather not have to cross that road. There must be a reason it is just sitting there. I walked a mile to grab a pack of smokes, came back and it was still just spinning endlessly, failing to boot I suppose.

  • Recently bought a mac book pro with lion, and using time machine brought over all my info from my mac book with snow leopard. Iphoto is now showing blank squares. I already rebuilt the library. What next?

    Info in the title. I've received conflicting advice help from the Apple Store so I thought I'd try here. I've restored iphoto from my lastest back-up on time machine from my old computer (iphoto works well on old computer), I've rebuilt the library, I've put the old library on a thumb drive and loaded it manually. It's all there on my old computer, but won't work in my new iphoto.

    Try directly copying the Library from the old machine.
    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
