Mac OS X v10.6: Mail.app won’t open, or "You can't use this version of Mail…" alert after installing Security Update 2012-004:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4424?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Fellow user Grant Bennet-Alder offers this solution:
Some users have reported this problem if the Mail Application has been moved out of the top-level /Applications folder, or duplicated in another location.
When the Security Update is done, the old version of Mail is disabled.
The solution has been to:
1) make certain Mail is in the /Applications folder
2) There is no other copy anywhere else.
3) Once steps 1 and 2 have been done, Manually download and re-apply the Security Update (2012-004) by hand.
Security Update 2012-004 (Snow Leopard)
If the Mail.app has been LOST, it can be re-installed by applying the 10.6.8 version 1.1 combo update. But this update is quite large and it is usually not necessary:
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1

Ipod doesn't show up after snow leopard update

since i made the snow leopard update my iPod doesn't show up in iTunes, in iPhoto it still works... any ideas to solve my problems?

First, click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen then click Software Update...
If the system is up to date, try reinstalling the AMDS...

And if you have anti virus software installed, disable that before connecting the iPod to your Mac.

Aperture 2.1.4 update will not load after Snow Leopard update

Has any one found the fix for aperture 2.1.4 update not loading after the installation of Snow Leopard. I to am also getting the alert "aperture 2.0 or later is required to install the update". I installed my copy of aperture 2.1 using the installer with no problems so the program is in the correct location. I've seen the posts related to this problem and it does not seem a fix has been found.

Just ran into this myself. I did check to see if there was a preference to delete under ~/Library/Preferences and one is not created since 2.1 is never actually launched. 2.1 is sitting in the root of Applications and hasn't been renamed, but the 2.1.4 update just doesn't detect that it is there and just gives the alert "Aperture 2.0 or later is required to install this update."

Gmail won't load after Snow Leopard Update (safari 4.0.3)

When I try and access gmail I get the following
Safari can’t open the page.
Safari can’t open the page “https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=mail&passive=true&rm=false& continue=http%3A%2F%2Fmail.google.com%2Fmail%2F%3Fui%3Dhtml%26zy%3Dl&bsv=zpwhtyg jntrz&scc=1&ltmpl=default&ltmplcache=2” because Safari can’t establish a secure connection to the server “www.google.com”.
Firefox loads gmail fine. I've do not have google gears installed and I've reset safari several times now. www.google.com wouldn't open at first, but after the rest it loaded. Gmail has not.
Thanks in Advance

After I installed Gears for Snow Leopard It worked fine.

Hope it will fix your problem as well.

Flickering Blue Image in iMovie '09 after Snow Leopard update 10.6.2

Hello Everyone
I am having an issue with flickering blue images during transitions in iMovie '09, but only after installing Snow Leopard. I usually only have about 10-15GB of space to spare, as I only have an 80GB HD MacBook Pro Intel Core Duo. However, I have two 1TB G-Drives by G-Technologies. It was mentioned in another post that my HD space was the problem. It worked great in Leopard, so I'm not sure I agree that 10-15GB of HD space wouldn't be enough to do a 20 minute video using only pictures.
Once I updated to 10.6.2 this issue began. I am in need of a solid app, and I presumed iMovie was my best bet for the money. I recently downloaded a demo of PulpMotion, but I'm still playing around with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as Apple users are among some of the smartest and most creative people I know.
Thank you,

Hello Sauble,
I just got off of the phone with Dan, an Apple iLife '09 Tech Support Rep. Here is the advice he gave me, and so far it has worked!
*Close ALL Open Apps*
Go To - Home Folder (house)
Go To - Library
Go To - Caches
Drag "Caches" folder to the trash.
Empty Trash. (Not all of Caches will empty. Just press "Continue" until complete.)
Shut Down Computer.
Press Power button to start up your computer. Once you hear the Apple Chime - Hold Down The "Shift" key until you see 2 things (The Apple Logo, and The Spinning Wheel), Then Release the "Shift" key.
Once your computer is back up, You Are Now In Safe Mode - Empty Trash Again.
(Your Trash Should Be Completely Empty)
Restart Your Computer as normal
Once your computer is up, open iPhoto or iMovie and see if your photos or Projects still have the same issue with blue or green people. Hopefully, NOT. LOL!
This should fix the problem. Let me know how it goes and if you have any information you feel would be necessary for this subject.
I wish you well.

MacBook HDMI connection problem after Snow Leopard Update

I recently upgraded my MacBook to Snow Leopard and discovered my HDMI set up no longer works after the upgrade. It has worked for the past two years with Leopard without any problems. Now when I plug in my HDMI the computer recognizes that the TV is there but only shows up black on the TV. Checked the display settings and is set on "Mirror" still. Everything is the same except the OS upgrade. Has anyone had this problem and found a way to fix it? Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Hi Guys
I've read through a lot of the forums on this subject and it seems the problem has been going on since pretty much the start of Snow Leopard being introduced.
One of the questions I've seen is: will buying a new battery solve the problem?, The entry from BeetleMegaFan on the below forum may offer some advice to this question, it would seem apparently not.
http://forums.cnet.com/7723-21565_102-357366.html
Another thing I tried is removing the com.apple.PowerManagement preference which at least seemed to allow the MacBook to see my battery long enough to take some screengrabs of the System Profiler (could be one of the random co-incidences).
Just to check/prove this is "potentially" a Snow Leopard problem I booted up from my original 10.5 system discs and guess what, no problems.
I also got a new one yesterday: Battery not charging, the joy continues but at least it knew there was a battery in there!
Would really appreciate an answer or advice on this one but I'm fast thinking there isn't a solution available at present.

Can't import audio files in FCP after snow leopard update

i've recently updated to snow leopard. and i'm running Final Cut Pro 6.0.6
i opened a .fcp project i created a long time ago. i tried to import a .aif file and final cut crashes. i converted the .aif file to a .mp3 file. tried to import it, and final cut crashed.
i then went and deleted the preference files for final cut pro, reopened final cut, tried importing both files again, it still crashes.
does anyone have a legitimate answer for why this is happening?

BenB wrote:
1st, FCP does not officially support MP3 audio files, so don't even use them. I'm running FCP 7 on Snow Leopard, no problems with audio files.
1- How are you encoding them? What software is creating these files?
2- Are you running on an external FW800 drive?
3- How much RAM are you running?
And as my final observation is, NEVER run Final Cut Pro 6 on Snow Leopard! Huge no-no! If you upgrade to Snow Leopard, only use FCS3. I've updated lots of systems for my students and clients, and I've seen lots of FCP6 on SL problems.
Message was edited by: BenB
I agree that you shouldn't use MP3 files with FCP, the manual tells you that somewhere If I recall properly, but it shouldn't cause Final Cut to crash, at least that has never been my experience, it has just caused a skipping problem, or not playing the complete song.
I don't really understand wht a FW800 drive or the amount of RAM have to do with it, it would sure be interesting to hear your comments on that.
However, in all due respect, to make the statement that one should NEVER run Final Cut Pro 6 on Snow Leopard seems pretty "out there" would you be so kind as to provide your rationale for such a drastic statement as that. Has there been anything official from Apple along those lines?

Ipod touch won't sync with itunes, only iphoto after snow leopard update upgrade

Have just put snow leopard onto my mac book 4.1. Can't get my ipod touch 5.1.1 to sync with itunes. It syncs with iphoto every time, but no device comes up in itunes or in finder. I have the latest software updates on both mac & touch. Any ideas?

See the following. Do not forget the Additional Information paragraph.

ISight not working after Snow Leopard update?

I just realized my iSight isnt working. I dont see it in System Profiler and I remeber prior to the Snow Leopard upgrade the iSight was working fine. This was three months ago, since the update i never had to use it until now. I tried resetting the SMC, I tried the command + option + p + r and still nothing.

• If you have not already done so, restart Mac and
    try again. If the iSight still does not work, continue.
• If Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
   suggestions do not help you, (are you certain that you
   used the correct "reset" procedure?), yours may be a
   hardware problem that will require a professional fix.
   Unless you have a current backup, make one now.
Then consider the final "Troubleshooting" suggestion:
"... contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service."
• If I understand correctly, you are now using Snow Leopard.
   If you want to try one more thing on your own before
   seeking professional help. use Disk Utility to repair permissions.
   Then download and apply the latest Combo Update
   for your OS. The latest SL Combo Update at present is here:
     http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
• Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart
   that completes the Combo update.
Properly applying the Combo version of updates
can sometimes correct problems like yours.

MBP won't start up after Snow Leopard update

Hi, I just installed the update for Snow Leopard. I restarted my computer and now it won't get past the grey screen, the darker screen just comes down and says I need to restarte my computer.
Is there anything I can do myself or do I need to take it in to get checked?
Thanks!

HI Phillip,
Grab your install disk that came with your MBPro and use Disk Utility to check the drive.
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
*(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the DU window open, look at the bottom of the window. You will see Capacity and Available. Never allow the free disk space to fall below 10% of the capacity.
If you cannot boot from your install disk, try booting in Safe Mode
What is Safe Mode

Problems with MacBook after Snow Leopard Update

I have an older macbook that I recently updated to snow leopard and since the update my fan is always running and my computer is slower in general. At times my computer starts having huge lag and all apps quit responding. This is incredibly frustrating and if anyone could help me fix this I would greatly appreciate it.
P.S. Since updating videos on youtube.com also will not play without lagging but movies on any other site are okay, even youtube videos embedded on other sites.

You might also try deleting the dynamic loader shared cache. This sometimes can lead to apps bogging down and delays all around.
The easiest way to do this is a Safe Boot this will delete dyld cache among other things.
Follow the link for more info or hold down the Shift key at restart, keep it down and power back on. Keep Shift down all the way to the desktop. This starts your Mac, more slowly, and ask for log-in.
Then restart as normal, which will take noticeably longer as cache files get rebuilt. See if this helps.

IPhoto movies won't work after Snow Leopard update

I recently updated to Snow Leopard an now my iPhoto movies wont' play. Any ideas?

I have contacted autodesk to update my license but this hasn't worked.
Hasn't worked how? I don't know anything about Maya, but a lot of things changed under-the-hood in Snow Leopard, meaning a lot of programs broke. Are you running the most recent version of Maya, and is that version supposed to work on SL?

Error Publishing to Mobileme from iWeb09 after Snow Leopard Update

I am trying to publish the website i created using iWeb09. I managed to publish it the first time but, when i upgraded to Snow Leopard recently i have been getting an error in publishing site changes and publishing the entire site as well.
I read the other posts on this and have done the following
1 - go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
2 - try to log in with a bogus account name and password. This supposedly clears the caches.
3 - log in with the correct account name and password.
4 - launch iWeb and try publishing again.
close iweb
delete following in your home folder
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.iWeb
~/Library/Caches/iWeb/
empty trash
shut down and restart
open iweb (which rewrites the deleted files afresh)
choose site and Publish entire site from file menu.
Nothings worked so far.
Any help is highy appreciated

You could try asking Apple for help: MobileMe live chat support is now 24/7 — see this announcement. Other Apple support options are here.
