MacBookPro 1.83GHz Airport Snow Leopard Incompatible

Installed Snow Leopard on my MacBookPro G Hz Thursday and Airport would not switch on. Re installed Leopard 10.5.8 and all is fine. Beware.

If you have the same error :
Dyld Error Message:
Symbol not found: _kCFWebServicesProviderDefaultDisplayNameKey
Referenced from: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Safari.framework/Versions/A/Safari
Expected in: /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation
then it shows that System files are missing/damaged, & of course, a new account will have identical problems.
The file mentioned in the report above, is included in the 10.6.8 combo update - so it's possible that installing that will replace it, although there could be other problem files too.

Snow Leopard Incompatible with Adobe

I received one of the first iMacs pre-loaded w/ SL, only to find out Lightroom is incompatible and won't install. After spending several hours on the phone with Adobe and Apple Tech Support, they confessed that they are not sure what software will work with the new OS, and have no timeline when non-functioning softare will be made compatible. My assumption is none of Adobe's Creative Suite is compatible, although I'm not going to spend any more fruitless hours on this project. Apple's final solution is to send me a 10.5 Leopard disk to install and see if that will work. As a former Windows user, this smells exactly like Windows Vista / XP...

The most current version of Lightroom is 2.4 I believe and it runs in Snow Leopard as do both CS3 and CS4 and I'm sorry you've not been getting straight answers but that is, unfortunately, the nature of Adobe's relationship with Apple and the software company's careful use of language to avoid saying anything that it might be held to later.
Adobe officially says CS3 is not supported for SL but it runs and I think it actually runs better on Snow Leopard than Leopard. Adobe wants you to upgrade to CS4 so, in my opinion, the company is using language to scare you away from CS3. Adobe talks about a Snow Leopard version of CS4 being delivered sometime in the near future but that doesn't mean the program currently doesn't work. It does. The company is merely engaged in CYA and tweaking Apple's nose.
Now having said all this, you need to know that Adobe products often need to be uninstalled and reinstalled to work properly. Adobe doesn't follow Apple's rules and those are the consequences for us. Actually I was rather surprised to discover that Photoshop and InDesign (CS3 versions) didn't need to be reinstalled after I installed Snow Leopard but LightRoom did.

Snow Leopard incompatible avec CC

Bonjour, je suis abonnée au creative cloud. Mais je travail sur 2 macs différents selon l'endroit où je suis. L'un d'eux est un MacBook 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. Il n'est pas compatible avec la version CC des logiciels du cloud. Comment faire pour y installer la CS6 ? Est-ce possible?
Merci !

"Invalid password" intermittent problem with MBP Snow Leopard Netgear

This is driving me mad, please help.
My MacbookPro (new, Sept '10, Snow Leopard) has intermittent connection problems with my Netgear wireless-N 300 router. Everything works fine a lot of the time. I put the computer to sleep, and next time I open it, I bite my nails to see if it will connect or not. Today, it's not. And there's no logical reason why. What's maddening is that I get an Airport "Invalid Password" error when trying to connect, when I'm using the right password and it has connected automatically before. I will sometimes have success by restarting the computer, or by restarting the computer AND the modem, or by resetting the modem. But sometimes I don't have that success, and today is one of those days.
Now, I also have an older Macbook Pro (Mar '08, Leopard) that NEVER has a problem connecting. So I know it's a Snow Leopard issue.
I have tried changing the channel in the router's wireless settings (including to Auto). I have tried deleting the keychain item for the router's wireless. I still get the "Invalid Password" error.
The irony is that the whole time, I'm updating the router via the old MBP which has no problems with ANY of the settings. That's what I'm writing this on. But I need the other computer to get online. It's getting ridiculous.
I CAN connect by connecting an Ethernet cable to the router, but that kind of defeats the purpose of going wireless.
Please help. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

First log into your router and make sure it is up to the current time and maybe sync it to a Time Server. Then on your Mac open System Preferences->Network. At the top of the pane is the "Location" drop-down. Use that drop-down to make a new custom Location calling it whatever you like. Then at the bottom Network pane click on the 'Apply' button to save this new custom Location you made. Then use the Network pane to rejoin your wireless network.
Also in System preferences->Date & time and make sure it is set to your current living Location. Plus open /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access. In this program first click on the menu item "Keychain Access" and select "Keychain First Aid". Then go to the entry for you wireless network and delete it. Then the wireless connection should ask you again to save the password, only once, hopefully.
Good Luck.

Snow Leopard disk is not readable

My Imac and MacbookPro is spitting the Snow Leopard disk. When I insert the disk, the machine makes some noise and then spits it out. Does anyone have any solution ?

Try starting up to the disk. No luck? Go to an Apple Store and get a replacement on the spot in all likelihood.

I can't upgrade to Lion from Snow Leopard

Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade an older MacBookPro to Lion from Snow Leopard. The MBP was built in 2007, and has a 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo, with 4GB of RAM. It's currently running OS X 10.6.8, which means the computer should be able to run Lion.
I have purchased Lion before for other machines, and so if I log into the App Store on this MBP, and then click on the "Purchases" tab, I see OS X Lion at the bottom of my list of App Store purchases, with an active "Download" button next to it. If I then click on "Download", the App Store puts up a spinning logo for a few seconds (up by the nagivation links in the top bar of the App Store), and then the spinner disappears, the "Download" button goes from greyed-out to active, and then that's it. No indication that Lion has started downloading or anything like that. I'm stumped. By all indications, I should be able to download Lion, and not only does it not download, but it gives me no information as to why it didn't.
Help!?!

Wait...I may be an idiot...
I went through this whole rigamarole of downloading the "Install OS X Lion" app onto a second mac, then copying that App over to the "Applications" folder of the old mac I'm trying to update. Then, when I looked in the "Applications" folder of the old Mac, sitting there right next to "Install OS X Lion" was an App called "Install OS X Mavericks". I have no memory of downloading that particular app, but perhaps it did, and perhaps once it did, the system prevented me from downloading the Lion installer...which would make some sense.
As of this moment, I am upgrading the machine to Mavericks, which seems like a win all around.

My Airport is USELESS with Snow Leopard..What will it be with Lion?

Mr Jobs,
Like you would every get this . I am super annoyed
wth Snow Leopard.I ususally wait for the second to last or
last version of an OS before I upgrade. The reason is
simple, my Apple computer has worked fine, I didn't
have any big need to upgrade and though I want to stay up to
date I hate to fix something that "ain't broken.:" Well
Snow Leopard has screwed up my MacBook Pro big time. My
trusty MacBook Pro 17 (old core duo) has paid the rent for
since day one.
I am a Shooter/Director and need my laptop to work. I am a
more than adequate FCS editor. Snow Leopard has sent me
into a spin! My airport is useless. There is no simple
path to older software so though I may be 60 years old I
still need to use tools I have used or at least be offered
the option of moving forward to new ones. It is NOT YTOUR
style.
I am writing this from my old G5, edit suite. My MacBook Pro 17 is not able to connect to my Airport. My sister-in-law is in the next room with her MacBook Pro (same year as mine but 15") and on lien skype-ing and chatting and surfing. I can connect for more than 30 seconds and my "update software" is at the top of the chain. *****! I will be re-formating my hard drive and going back to Leopard SANS SNOW tomorrow! And folks spare me the silly advice. If you buy an OS and install it and do the upgrades , it should work. That is what Apple is about. That is why I have bought and used Apple since DAY One. I sold my TI and Commodore when I saw an Apple!
I know you will NEVER read this, but I needed to vent.
If you do, I will super happy to hear you did, you are well
and that you have passed it down the line.
Stay well and with us for a long time and all the great
innovations!
Best
Brian Murphy

If I had a nickel for every time I saw someone blame a system update for something silly, I'd be quite rich by now. If you believe reports on public forums, every release of Mac OS X has been the worst ever, which is obviously not true to anyone who has actually used all those systems. So, while there may be a lot of people reporting wireless problems with SL, that does not make it fact that the cause of the problem is SL. Fact: I have not seen wireless problems with any Macs running SL.
But, you seem not interested in listening to such things. You know that it's SL's fault. So there's really no solution for you but to revert to Leopard. If you're interested in getting things working with SL, as I said, post back on a different topic with details. (Since you started this topic with a bit of a rant, it's going to be difficult for you to get help on this topic.)

How do I get my new Apple ID associated with an older MacBookPro so that I don't get charged more than once for a purchased app when I download it to the older computer recently upgraded to Snow Leopard?

I recently upgraded my 2 year old MacBookPro to Snow Leopard so I could download Face Time and Final Cut ProX to it.
I've already purchased the apps and installed on my iMAC and Macbook Air.
After downloading Face Time I received the following mail;
"Your Apple ID, *************, was just used to purchase FaceTime from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.
If you made this purchase, you can disregard this email. This email was sent as a safeguard designed to protect you against unauthorised purchases.
If you did not make this purchase, we recommend that you go to iforgot.apple.com to change your password, then see Apple ID: Tips for protecting the security of your account for further assistance.
Regards,
Apple"
I don't want to be charged twice for these apps, especially Final Cut ProX, so how can I get the MacBookPro associated with the Apple ID I'm using now?
Cheers

This is probably a new precaution that Apple has taken to alert folks that something has occurred with their account that has not occurred before*, namely a Mac has downloaded something from their account that has not done so before. And as the notice says, if it was you doing so, then you may safely ignore the notice. Also, do not be alarmed, Apple refers to all downloads as purchases, even when they are free.
But if you are truly concerned about the notice then you can authorize the Mac with your iTunes account, which should be the same as your MAS account. Open iTunes on the older Mac and sign into your account. Then in the Store menu choose Authorize This Computer. Now this Mac is definitely associated with your account and can now play media that you purchase from the iTunes Store as well.
*My banks do the same thing when I pop up making a purchase with my bank cards somewhere in the world I have never made a purchase before. They call me and email me and want to know if it is indeed me using the card.

Is there a way to connect an old Sunflower iMac (OSX 10.4.11) to a new Time Capsule? It used to work with old Airport Extreme with updates thru Snow Leopard but now seems to only allow WEP encryption instead of WPA.

Is there a way to connect an old Sunflower iMac (OSX 10.4.11) to a new Time Capsule? It used to work with old Airport Extreme network, run from a intel iMac with updates thru Mavericks but now seems to only allow WEP encryption instead of WPA and can't connect to Time Capsule. Airport Extreme Base was controllable from either computer up through Snow Leopard (I didn't do any of the Lion upgrades). Then when I upgraded to Mavericks I lost the ability to use Airport Utility with this hardware on the Sunflower but could still connect wirelessly to network without any problems. But now with the Time Capsule upgrade the Sunflower is blocked from network by a dialogue that requests ony WEP password, not WPA pwd used by Time Capsule. Neither can I use the old airport extreme base to extend the time capsule network since I can't input the correct password/encryption approach to join it. Is there a work around? Would a newer but old Airport Express be able to extend network to Sunflower? Or maybe a third party wireless (such as Netgear, Dlink, etc) that has browser type control rather than special utility?
Another question--before I used MAC addresses to control who could access network. Now on Time Capsule I don't see anything about this--so is it true now that the only access control is via WPA2 pwd now (which appears to be the encryption pwd and not the time capsule pwd)?

Is there a way to connect an old Sunflower iMac (OSX 10.4.11) to a new Time Capsule?
I can’t claim to completely grasp the issue(s) you’re describing, but the underlying problem is presumably your iMac’s obsolete AirPort card. Whatever the case, an obvious (if not particularly helpful) answer to your stated question would be to connect your iMac with an ethernet cable, using powerline adapters as an alternative if you don’t want to have wire running all over the place.
My still fully functional clamshell iBook, with an original AirPort card, connects wirelessly to my 4th Generation TC network by means of a cheap 802.11b/g/n USB Wi-Fi adapter. This might be an option for you too.
Another question--before I used MAC addresses to control who could access network. Now on Time Capsule I don't see anything about this
When you edit your TC's settings the access controls appear under the Network tab, don't they?

Why might extracted Snow Leopard MacBookPro drive no longer boot under IMAC Lion?

I'm hoping someone can give a likely explanation for the following sequence of events, and also recommend some next steps. I've been backing up, using Time Machine on a partitioned drive, my 2008 IMAC with Lion and my 2008 MacBookPro with Snow Leopard. Being out of town for the last 3 months, MBP backups were not possible and Murphy's law kicked in as the MBP refused to boot, no chime and black screen. Tried all the discussion group suggestions and then returned home to visit the Apple store.
1. Apple store said it was my logic board and repair would be $310, but if the hard drive was a problem Apple Repair would just swap it out. Apple store would do backup of the drive before sending it for repair if I provided an empty drive.
2. As I didn't have a spare drive, I purchased an OWC USB 3.0 enclosure kit and inserted the drive from the MBP.
3. Plugging into the running IMAC, it came up and everything looked good. TIme Machine recognize the new drive and included it in its list of devices to NOT backup.
4. I decided to see if I could boot the IMAC from this MBP drive by doing a restart with the option key held. It gave me the choice and it worked. Everything looked good and I was able to update my mail and to print. I decided to have Time Machine do a backup and included the IMAC internal drive in the list of devices NOT to backup. Time Machine warned that this MBP was a new computer and that i'd not be able to go back, which concerned me as the whole purpose is to be able to move to a new system if necessary. I did a backup anyway and it copied about 25 GB of some 158 GB so it must have been an update. Everything looked good.
5. I then did a restart and came up under Lion. However the MBP drive was no longer visible on the desktop, but the system recognized that the OWC MBP drive was USB connected. This was a concern.
6. I did a shut down of the IMAC and removed the MBP drive. Rebooted IMAC and then inserted USB MBP drive. It came up this time. Its contents looked good.
7. I then did a restart with the option key held. It gave me the choice to boot from the MBP drive as before and I took it. However it hung with a gray screen, circle with slash, and spinning wheel. No activity from the MBP so I forced IMAC shutdown and removed the MBP drive.
8. Booted the IMAC, but can not get the MBP drive to appear on the desktop although it is recognized as a USB device. No activity from the MBP drive as indicated by no flashing of its light.
I'm mystified as to what has happened. Have I corrupted the MBP drive, or is it likely a hardware failure? I'm thinking about a new computer, but was staying with Snow Leopard as it was only way to keep my scanner working. It was momentarily convenient to be able to boot into Snow Leopard and to work as usual. What can I do with my TIme Machine backup of the MBP if the MBP drive is corrupted? Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Pete, but it doesn't solve my problem.
Apple does something to the recovery partition to make it invisible. When I was trying to setup my 16GB USB stick drive as a "Recoverable Partition", since I don't have one on my main Lion drive, it made it invisible also. But during the process it failed to finish but has left my USB drive invisible under Lion and nothing that I've tried has been able to undue that. (See Above). What is it that I need to do to get my USB Flash drive visible again under Lion. It is visible under Snow Leopard and it is visible under the lion install utitlties (I made a installer DVD from original internet downloaded Lion installer) but not under disk utilities on lion or the lion desktop! I've reformated under both the above(Snow Leopard & Installer utilities) were I had access to the USB Drive but that didn't undue whatever Apple does to make the recovery partition and my USB Drive invisible because once I boot back into Lion, it's still not there! So the $64,000 question is how do I get my USB Flash drive visible again under Lion?
Hope this help you to understand my situration.

Airport express printing problem with Snow Leopard

I am no longer able to print to my shared printer after upgrading to Snow Leopard. I get a message that starts with "communication failure the computer is no longer able to communicate with your printer". My network consists of a dual-band Airport extreme and an Airport Express. The dual-band Airport Extreme creates the network and is connected to the internet. The printer (HP LaserJet 1012) is connected to the AirPort Express. The AirPort express joins the dual-band Airport extreme network for the sole purpose of turning the HP LaserJet 1012 into a shared wireless printer. Everything was working fine before the upgrade to Snow Leopard. When I connect the printer directly to my MAC via USB, it prints fine. I can "see" the printer fine through bonjour when it is connected to the AirPort express, but I get a failure whenever I try to print to it. I have tried plugging and unplugging the device. I have effectively redownloaded the print-driver by connecting the printer directly to my MAC. It sounds like a Snow Leopard bug. Any suggestions for a work-around? Thanks.

I upgraded to Snow Leopard and had difficulties connecting to my HP Photosmart 7150 printer through Airport Express. Apple setup found a 3rd party printer driver by Gutenprint, which I downloaded and the printer works. But like it did under Leopard. Under the 10.5 OS, a print command would send a wake up signal to the HP, which automatically turned off after a period of idleness, and then print. Under 10.6, there is no wake up and I need to manually activate the printer. I went to the HP web site hoping to find a "new" driver for 10.6 and HP has posted a message saying it does not and will not be providing print driver for 10.6. It then has a long list of HP devices that cannot or will not print with Snow Leopard. So those with no-printing issues should check your model against the HP driver listing. I believe this is a neat way for HP to force Mac users who upgrade or install 10.6 to buy a new printer for which HP has a 10.6 driver. At least I can print and the only inconvenience that I can see if the lack of that wake up signal. My wife says it won't hurt me if I have to get up and walk to the room with the printer to turn it on!

Airport Time Capsule Problems Since Snow Leopard - Loses Connections

I did a straightforward install of Snow Leopard on the iMac 24 and it went fine. I have very few apps on it so nothing weird running to cause two issues:
1 - Time Machine backups to a Time Capsule have become slow and unreliable. Also, even 10-100 MB file transfers to a MacBook Pro 17", also on Snow Leopard, took the longest time.
2 - The Airport/WiFi icon will often go from being a static icon with full signal to one in which each curved concentric level bar flashes one by one up from the bottom dot to the topmost arc, and then back down, and back and forth. This often happens in the middle of Time Capsule backups. Holding down the mouse on the icon shows my network still connected, but the backup fails, and any web page attempted will also report there is no network.
I wonder if others have had similar problem(s).
Imran

I am also having very strange problems with 10.6.1 and TC. The network disconnects for no apparent reason, frequently. It seems to be tying up both of the phone lines too, because once the TC reconnects to the network, the telephone no longer works (it says "line busy" and remains that way until and unless I unplug the TC). Plugging directly into the cable modem works fine, no problems at all with the telephones or with the network disconnecting at random. All three macs on my home network (macbook, MBPro and iMac) are updated to 10.6.1. At first I thought the problem might have been the modem itself but it works fine; it's only when the TC is connected that the weirdness happens.

HP c5280 won't work with airport on Snow Leopard

I have a HP C5280 connected via USB to an airport express unit. It's worked flawlessly on Leopard, but now that I've upgraded to SL, I get a message "Unable to open printer (read failure)!". If I connect my MacBook Pro directly via USB to the printer, it works fine.
Another oddity. My wife's Mac (still running Tiger) is also connected to the printer via our Airport network. I can connect to the printer through her computer and print out!
I've been in contact with HP, de-installed and re-installed all of their preferences, drivers, etc., but to no avail.
Appreciate any suggestions.
//Rick

Rick,
Question: on your Snow Leopard machine, does your printer appear under USB printers attached to the Express?
After all of your dealings with the drivers, preferences, etc, combined with the fact that directly connecting with the printer is successful, I suspect that the problem may lie with the Airport Express.
Whenever I have problems with my Airports, 9 out of 10 times it has to do with a firmware issue. This is especially true when some Macs can connect, while others (running different versions of OS X) cannot.
My advice would be to check to see if the Airport Express is running the latest firmware. I would use Airport Utility on wife's computer to access the Airport Express and run a firmware update check. Also, it may behoove you to do a hard reset after saving all of your settings and setting the Airport up from scratch (this, too, has worked for me from time-to-time; in particular, after a power irregularity in our building).
As a quasi-side note, I have so many Macs running different versions of OS X and Airports strung together, that the easiest way I found to avoid problems similar to yours was to use one Mac (the one kept on most of the time) plugged into our office printer with printer sharing enabled.
