Mac: Graphic Update of Snow Leopard (08/19/10) stopped LR3 from working

I wonder if I'm the only one who has a problem with the latest Apple Update named "Graphic Update 1.0 for Snow Leopard" from last night. After I installed the update on my iMac 27" with quad core i5, 8Gb RAM I accidently used LR 3 RC 3.2 when I recognized that the brushes and all other editing tools where really slow. Even after clicking the brush it took sometimes up to 15 sec. until the tool got selected. Using the brush was slow and without any effect on working either.
I recognized that I was usign the RC 3.2 release which I stopped working with as I have had several issues on that release before with long loading times of photos to edit. So I switched back to the normal release 3.0 which was working OK for me before. But now I have the same issues on the official 3.0 release. Even 3.0 is now very, very stringy and tools aren't working, too. Using the loupe, which shows the magnification immediatly takes now 15 sec. to show the magnification and some more sec. until it is sharp. Switching to next photo takes around 25 sec. which was done in around 3 sec. before.
Now idea what happend, but I think I have to reinstall the OS and get the latest data from my TM.

thanks exploded view, you're right, I should try it before. It was so obvious that only the update could have been the matter....
If so normally I expected more people having that problem.
Bert,
Was this specific to the iMac? I just checked for updates on my Macbook Pro and nothing came up about a Graphic update. I went through the process of backing off an update (10.6.4 back to 10.6.3). It wasn't exactly pretty, but not impossible. You may have to do some reinstalls afterward if you find you need to choose that route. In my case I reinstalled Snow Leopard from the DVD first, preserving current user settings and then reinstalled 10.6.3 from a download. A few hours effort, but was back in business, so it is doable.

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

Extremely slow Mac after updating to Snow Leopard from Leopard

Hi, I just updated to Snow Leopard from Leopard, and now everything is extremely slow, things keep crashing, freezing etc. What did I do wrong? How do I fix it?

Do this:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard 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 Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) 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.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro 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.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

Graphics update for snow leopard. HELP!

Hey! I just downloaded a game app called steam(not too important) and i downloaded this game. The only problem is that its insanely laggy. So i wanna know if there are any graphics update for 2011 snow leopard. I checked my version and it says im running 10.6.7. Im not sure if thats goodor bad so someone let me now what i have to do to make my mac a little better with gaming. I do not game a lot, but i really want this game :')

If there is a graphics update, it will be incorporated into an update via Software Update. There is no other way to update graphics cards or drivers in a Mac.
Your Macbook only has 2 GB RAM - it may help to increase RAM (of course that won't help the graphics issue), but it may help.

After update to Snow Leopard, I can no longer print from my Mac Book using my HP D110 but can still print from the web

Hello -
Earlier this week, I updated my Mac Book to Snow Leopard and am now having printing problems. I have an HP Photosmart D110. I have downloaded and installed the driver update. I have deleted and re-installed the printer. I have run the wireless network test (everything passed). I configured th settings on the HP EPrint website. I have shut down and re-started the computer several times. I checked for software updates.
The printer is *recognized* on the Mac Book, iPhone and the iPad. It shows up under the SysPref menu. I have been able to print coupons from the Coupons.com app using the iPhone and iPad, but I can't print from the computer itself. The printer icon opens and it indicates the document was sent but nothing comes out. I'm not sure what I'm missing?!

Also try powering the printer off for about 10 minutes.

Did you update to 10.6.2 via Software Update or did you download the combo? If you used Software Update, get the Combo updater instead and re-apply:

HT3771 Hi, I cannot get my HP2200dn to work with my Intel macs after updating to Snow Leopard

Since installing Snow Leopard I can only print using my HP Laserjet 2200dn mono laser printer if I print via my old G4 which is running Tiger.
The G4 has the HP printer as a shared printer and is connected using Appletalk.
Obviously this is very inconvenient as the old G4 is not always on!
I have downloaded and installed two lots of Apple printer driver updates, along with the latest version of Gutenprint.
I have tried resetting the printing system, all to no avail.
No matter what I try the printer keeps pausing before doing anything and pauses again within a few seconds of restarting.
I have tried various printer drivers with no effect, including the Gutenprint one.
Any help gratefully received!

Thank YOU for notifying us of the solution that worked. Very much appreciated. May work for other users with the same issue as yourself.

Just updated to snow leopard, and now my quicktime doesn't work?

I'm not really computer savvy, so if someone can please tell me how to, I don't know, install it? Somehow get it back? I updated from Tiger straight to Snow Leopard... help!!

Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, [i]or[/i] if specified as part of a custom install, [i]or[/i] individually downloaded.
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
(Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".)

When you use a virtual machine software, it can "take over" the optical drive for the virtual machine operating system, so the disk won't appear in OS X or on the desktop. You need to disable the virtual machine from accessing the optical drive. Usually if the virtual machine is not booted up, then control returns to OS X for the hardware.
If the disk is not appearing in Windows, it's because you need to enable the virtual machine to access that piece of hardware.
First use the Apple Menu to Software Update 10.6.3 to 10.6.8
Next update Parallels to the latest version, if you get a grey screen and the Mac refuses to boot, hold the Shift key down (Safe Mode) while booting up again to disable Parallels and other at boot kernel externsion files, update Parallels and then reboot normally.
While in Windows in the virtual machine, Windows Update to the latest version (Control Panel) and also make a "snapshot" this way you can revert to that for updates or if you get malware. Install the free Microsoft Security Essentials, it's good enough in most cases as you can "fall back" on the virtual machine snapshot if you get infected.

Snow Leopard- How can I stop cupsd from restarting? Trying to edit printer IP addresses

I want to edit etc/cups/printers.conf to change printer IP addresses in Snow Leopard. I edit after "sudo killall -9 cupsd". cupsd restarts before I can finish the edit. How can I stop cupsd from restarting until I finish editing printer.conf?

You can try the following:
sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.cups.cupsd.plist
Have you attempted to administer cups thru the web interface @ http://localhost:631 ?

My Mac Book Pro (2010 - Snow Leopard) won't boot, or boot from safe mode.

Hi, a bit of back ground knowledge bout the situation first, I was visiting home to see my family for two weeks in the UK, as i am currently on an internship in Dubai.
A few days ago (one day before i flew back to Dubai from the UK - Thursday 10/07/2014) I noticed out of the blue that my Mac book Pro (i believe early/mid 2010 model) suddenly started running extremely slow. (prior to this I had be using it fine, using an array of programs like Safari & Photoshop that i know usually slows down the Mac, but unlike what I would usually experience, this was pretty much a complete freeze for 5 minutes at a time every time i tried moving my mouse/closing a program or even clicking on something. I decided I would close everything and give the computer a rest. This took a long long time, I had to force quit many of the programs open, then once going to the drop down menu to shut down the laptop it wouldn't shut down. So after a long time of waiting to shut down I decided to force it to shut down by holding down the power button.
I left it for the evening, and then decided to turn on the laptop so it was 'on and working' for my flight back to Dubai as there had been 'stricter airport measures introduced in the UK for flights abroad' and there was a rumor that you had to prove that all electrical devices can be turned on when and if asked by airport security. after a long time it finally turned on and loaded the home screen, it had a long period on the grey apple screen with the turning gear. However still when turned on the problem of being extremely slow - freezing for 5 minutes every time i would click a program or something on the mac, like the drop down menu with the shut down option for example - still persisted. As I had to fly home the next morning (Friday 11/07/2014) I just closed the laptop lid like i had down thousands of times before over the past 3-4 years, packed it in my hand luggage and and went to bed. I flew back to Dubai.
Over the next few days (Saturday 11/07/2014 - Monday 14/07/2014) I used the laptop sparingly a it was super slow, but i did manage to watch the second half of the world cup runners up match between Holland & Brasil. I then went on to attempt to use the safari the on the Monday night, but it was too slow to really do anything, e.g. i couldn't even really look at the BBC website as it was too painfully slow!
This is when I decided to look up why it may be working so slow via my iphone.
So I shut it down,
I looked on forums and support ages and first thing they recommended was a 'safe mode boot up', so I decided to boot up in safe mode. This is where the problem seems to worsen. The Mac book pro would turn on to the grey apple screen and the progress bar appears, it begins to fill up but then reaches perhaps 20-30% then suddenly the laptops fan seems to go into over drive, making lots of noise when before this moment as it tried to boot up it was silent, then it just turns off.
I decided to retry booting up without holding down shift (safe boot mode), but it returns to the grey apple screen with the progress bar again, as if it was in safe mode even though I had held down shift. The same problem happens, its silent as the bar fills until abut 20-30% then it seems to 'overheat' and then turn off again.
I tried to boot it up again and again, both 'normally' without holding down shift, and 'safe mode', but the same issue arises.
So i turned to the forums and help pages again, and there was a mention of a PRAM reset. So i tried booting it up this time but holding down 'CMD + ALT + P + R' on the moment of the first chime, then as normal with a PRAM reset it chimed twice more before I let go of the keyboard. The progress bar again appeared on the grey start up apple page, and this time reached roughly the same 20-30% mark, but without overheating or making a fan noise, it then seemed to restart the progress bar a second time. This time as it reached the 20-30% it would again over heat and then instantly turn off.
I then decided to do a Hardware test. So i turned on the power and held down 'D', this successfully brought up the Hardware testing window, I did a regular test and within a few minutes it said there was no hard ware issue. Not convinced i decided to do an detailed/advanced hardware test which took alot longer. This time after a few minutes it started to make fan noises and 'overheating noises' however completed the hardware test and again said there was no hardware problems. I opted for the 'shut down' option on the screen instead of 'restart'.
I then decided to try and boot it up normally again, and the progress bar appears on the grey apple start up screen, it again reaches 20-30% then turns off.
I've exhausted my knowledge of what to do, and all the forums seem not to give the answer i'm looking for. It sees like no one has had the EXACT same problem i'm experiencing. Also being in Dubai for a further 7 weeks, I can't take the Mac book pro to an apple store, and I do not have any of the install DVD discs ect with me to try booting from DVD disc install.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me on what I could try next? I'd be hugely grateful! Please reply below or email me.

Some things you can try.

My Mac was upgraded to Snow Leopard. iMovie now have problems importing from SONY camcorder.

This is the first time I hooked up my camcorder since the upgrade. iMovies shows my videocan with an excalamation mark inside a yellow diamond and bogs down completely. What is wrong? I have iLife 2011. Is there a setting that I missed?

{quote}Has anyone else had problems importing with this specific model or a related model and if so were you able to fix the problem or find a work around? I guess I could transfer the old Sony movies to my new Canon GL2 and then import into the iMac but that kind of defeats the purpose as I have been repeatedly told how simple and intuitive it is to do things on the iMac.{quote}
I don't have the Sony, but for older tape camcorder's I use a standard DVD recorder and burn the movie to DVD then use [HandBrake|http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/21117] to convert to MPEG-4 for importing to iMovie.

Safari and Flash after updating to Snow Leopard

After updating to Snow Leopard, Safari will no longer display any flash content. I have tried reinstalling flash as well as uninstalling/reinstalling. Firefox works correctly so I know I do have the correct flash installed. Any advice? Thanks.

I have a similar problem. The rendering is wrong after updating to Snow Leopard 10.6.
The 10.6.1 doesn't solve the problem.
The rendering problem is on Safari, Firefox and Chrome.
I've tried to uninstall Flash using the Adobe uninstaller and re-install.
It doesn't solve the problem.
On my MacBook Air, I've updated to Snow Leopard, and no problem. Flash is working correctly.

If a photo is returned to me in a reply does it use additional storage? I am using Mac Book Pro w snow leopard 10.6.8 and an iPhone 4s iOs 5. Yes, eventually I'll free up time to update these. Thanks.

Uh uh, I see!
Also it seems I can use my time machine backup:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migration_Assistant_(Apple)
together with Migration Assistant. This would work. Thanks
Now I need to figure out the Windows part. I need a full backup of Windows as well, with all the programs. In particular I need to be sure I can maintain the graphic card drivers.
You don't want to know how long took for me to find out how the **** I could update my graphic card drivers in Windows on my Macbook pro. Unfortunately there was a lot of misleading propaganda from Apple about bootcamp, saying that the new intel processor would have worked fine with Windows. Sad that everything was a lie. When installing Windows with bootcamp the graphic card program was unable to find and install the graphic card drivers update . Took me 2 weeks reading through thousands of angry posts of disappointed costumers to find out how to do that. I do not want to reapeat this dreadful experience.
After one year and a half with my Macbook pro I have a system I am TERRIFIED to touch. It is very very fragile, and any little change can destroy everything. It barely works. that's why I am so scared to re-install the OS
