Map search program for Snow Leopard

Does anybody recommend a good mapping application? I would like to be able to print out current street maps. The business I work for does store grand openings. I find that not all sites such as Map Quest, Google Earth, etc. are not all current. I'll print out 3 maps from 3 sites and they could all be different.

Same thing happens with GPS software. Some models & brands are better than other yet, none will provide the same driving directions.
The mapping programs you have tested so far, I would go with the ones that provides the most correct or current mappings.

What is the latest version of XCode for Snow Leopard?

I have XCode 4.0.2 for Snow Leopard installed. Is that the latest version available for Snow Leopard?
Is Apple pushing us to upgrade to Lion to get a version newer than 4.0.2. I see that XCode 4.2 is available for Lion.
David.

This information might be useful for those who are not members of the $99/year iOS Developer Program. I am not a member, I have Snow Leopard, and I purchased Xcode 4.0 for $5 from the Mac App Store in March 2011. Just for fun I searched the app store for Xcode. As expected, the only search result is Xcode 4.2 with stated minimum requirement 10.7 (Lion). I am curious why it even shows Snow Leopard users the active Free button that implies I can download it. I don't know how the app store works but I assume it would not let me install this on 10.6 Snow Leopard.
But the Purchased view shows Xcode for Snow Leopard. I noticed the button on the right showed Update rather than Installed. Clicking the item name to find details including the version number shows Your request could not be completed. I decided to update in hopes this would be 4.2. I deleted Install Xcode from my Applications folder, restarted the App Store, then pressed the Update button. 1.77GB later I have Install Xcode in my Applications folder, preview shows version 4.2 (used to show 4.0.2),
The installer just finished running, I now have Xcode 4.2 build 4C199. About Xcode.pdf in the Developer folder starts with Developer tools for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and iOS 5. So this is clearly not exactly the same as Xcode 4.2 for Lion. It does include the iOS 5 SDK, LLVM 3.0, etc. Not sure what is different in the Lion build.

I have Lion as my current and main OS. Is it possible to partition part of my hard drive for Snow Leopard?

I have Lion as my current and main OS. Is it possible to partition part of my hard drive for Snow Leopard? I'm good on partitioning but when I insert the Snow Leopard install disk a message tells me I can't run the install program because I currently have Lion installed... obviously. Have I gone about this the wrong way? Do I need to boot the computer using the Snow Leopard install disk instead of my main HD?

Apple will never update that as for the most part it is true, and the fact that they really don't want you to run older OS X versions (for whatever reason).
Now this probably won't work with the next line of MBPs and MBAs that come out. But it is for the current builds.
But as I stated you need one of the lastest builds of SL for it to even boot the system.
It won't work with the retail 10.6.3 DVD disc. That version does not have the correct drivers for the newest Mac's.

Where can I download xcode for snow leopard?

Where can I download xcode for snow leopard?

I am a paid member of the developer program, and Xcode 4.2 for Snow Leopard does not appear in the downloads area. I just joined today and received email confirmation, but perhaps this update to my account has not worked its way through to Apple's back-end yet. Nevertheless, it appears that Xcode 4.2 for Snow Leopard is not available any more to anyone, whether they are paid members or not.

Daily Tips RSS feed for Snow Leopard?

Someone recently told me that there's a Daily Tips feed for Snow Leopard with general helpful hints to get the most out of it. I've been in a search frenzy, but there's a lot in the lists here and almost nothing when you type in "Tips" in the search field, and none that obviously indicate that they might be that sort of feed in the RSS feeds lists. I'm not having problems, just like to have little prods in my education as I learn the OS. I'd always been a fan of MacWorld and MacUser magazines tips scattered throughout their pages before they went beyond just the computers into everything else. Miss that because I learned SO much from them.

Want to buy a new Mini, but should I wait for Snow Leopard?

I'm ready to buy a Mac Mini now. But with Snow Leopard just around the corner, I would hate to have to dish out another $129 for Snow Leopard when I could have just waited a few months for it to ship with the Mini.
Is it worth it to wait, or should I just dive into a new Mini with just Leopard?
Any thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the great input everyone!
Most of you say 'go for it now', and that's the way I'm leaning, but I'll drill down a little deeper with where I'm at on this.
I've been wanting to get a Mini since they first came out, but more intently since last fall. I heard that they were due for a refresh, and rumors had been floating that there would be new models in Q1 of 2009. I had hoped to see them at Macworld, but we all know what a disappointment that was. So after much anticipation, they're finally here. All that to say, I have a very strong desire to order one right now.
But then there is this question of Snow Leopard. My main reason (although there are many) for getting a Mini is to record my broadcast TV shows in HD with eyeTV. I've been using my Dual 867Mhz Power Mac G4 (MDD) to record shows in analog mode with eyeTV, and it does it very successfully. But my G4 doesn't meet the requirements to record in HD (although I've tried it and it will record HD, but it's not always successful and it takes at least 12 to export it to iTunes). Also, broadcast TV is going to can analog on June 12. So I wont be able to record my shows after that unless I have the Mini.
So, here is where I'm at with this dilemma:
AndyO hit the head on the nail with this

There is a good argument to say that if you have no immediate need for a new system, you should wait until Snow leopard is announced, but not yet pre-installed on systems in the supply chain and buy a system then. That would give you an installed copy of Leopard and either a Snow Leopard upgrade disk in the box, or an 'up-to-date' program option to buy a Snow Leopard copy for a small fee. That would give you the best of both worlds.
This is exactly what I'd like - "the best of both worlds." Getting SL with the Mini but not having it pre-installed would be ideal.
But will the announcement come at the WWDC?
Will the WWDC be held at the speculated date of June 6-12 (which is right before the DTV switch btw)? And even if I wait for the announcement, this is not the guaranteed outcome (they could end up saying that all systems will be shipping with SL today).
Ugh! I'm so torn.
Does anyone know how far ahead they announce the date of the WWDC?

That's a point fo confusion.
If your MacBook has a Core 2 Duo processor (64-bit) and not the earlier Core Duo processor (32-bit), you can run 64-bit versions of Apple's applications. Whether the speed improvements are mostly because of this "64-bit'ness" or mostly because Apple re-coded the bundled apps (such as the all-important Finder) to be more efficient, I'm not so sure. Apple did optimize their code to reduce bloat, and it is supposedly a lot more than just removing the PowerPC code. This article has a good high level explanation.
http://www.macworld.com/article/142379/2009/08/snowleopard_64bit.html
The other layer for 32 versus 64-bit discussion is in the core of the OS itself, the kernel. Apple seems to be playing it safe initially, and all Macs (except for Xserve servers) are running the 32-bit kernel by default. This may be to ensure third-party software compatibility during the transition to 64-bit. The more recent Macs are capable of switching to the 64-bit kernel on startup. Older Core 2 Duo Macs (that can run 64-bit apps) cannot use the 64-bit kernel. This web page (with related utility) has a good consolidate explanation, although I cannot confirm everything is 100% accurate.
http://www.ahatfullofsky.comuv.com/English/Programs/SMS/SMS.html
So there are really two levels. 64-bit applications and the 64-bit kernel. 64-bit apps can run with the 32-bit kernel just fine, as long as your iMac has Core 2 Duo processors. I'm just going to keep things +as is+, and not worry about it. Snow Leopard is running great, and that's good enough for me no matter what part is 64-bit and what part is not.

Cant find fresh Safari download for Snow Leopard

I know this should be easy, but my old Safari got deleted and I wanted to download and install the latest version for Snow Leopard. I downloaded the link on the front page of the downloads page and it doesn't work at all. It opens a page and does nothing. I have to force quit to stop Safari.
Where can I find Safari 4? I would then download the update for Safari Snow Leopard, correct?

HI,
I downloaded the link on the front page of the downloads page and it doesn't work at all. It opens a page and does nothing. I have to force quit to stop Safari.
Safari relies on the OS X framework called WebKit so it's not exactly an application that runs on it's own so just downloading Safari from the Apple site doesn't do the job.
*Reinstall Safari from your Snow Leoaprd disc or your Mac install disc.*
Insert the Snow Leopard install disk. Open the Optional Installs folder, then open Optional Installs.mpkg
An Installer will start... click Continue. When you get to the Installation Type in the window on the right you will see: Applications. Click the Disclosure triangle so it faces down. Select the apps you want to install and click Continue.
When you are finished installing Safari, go to the Apple Menu and click Software Updates. That will bring your new Safari up to date.
Then repair disk permissions...
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Appropriate iPhoto for Snow Leopard?

I primarily use Snow Leopard, OS X 10.6.8. I'd like to use iPhoto but can't - trying to launch iPhoto 9.4.2 tells me that I need os 10.4 and above, and trying to use iPhoto 8.1.2 tells me that there is a problem and then shows lots of diagnostic information. Some where in the discussions I learned that I need iPhoto 9.2.3. So, I went to the App store and searched for iPhoto 9.2.3 and got no results. So, two questions: is iPhoto the appropriate iPhoto for Snow Leopard? If so, where can I get it?

I'm sorry but I'm not clear on what version of the OS you actually have.
With 10.6.8 you can go to iPhoto v9.3.2 - to get that you'll need to purchase an iLife 11 install disk. The App Store only has the latest version, (v9.4.2) which only runs on 10.7.5 or later.

Virtual desktop for Snow Leopard?

I like the Spaces in Snow Leopard, but those are not real separate desktops. For Leopard there was some cool software (never used it, but its exactly what i am looking for):
http://www.yousoftware.com/desktops/desktops.php
But for Snow Leopard, it doesn't work. Other similar software also doens't support Snow Leopard.
Does anybody know some Virtual desktop supporting software for Snow Leopard?

Correct me if i'm wrong, but spaces is really only spaces in wich you can put different programs in. Not different desktops, with seperate files on echt desktop, different backgrounds, maybe different docks.
I don't think there's ever been a virtual desktop application for the Mac that allowed for separate files on each desktop, nor different docks.
This app
http://thecocoabots.com/hyperspaces/
adds many features to the basic Spaces. For other docks you can explore apps like

Elements 6 for Snow Leopard?

I am using MacBookPro 10.5.8. I have all the requirements for Snow Leopard and I have upgraded my memory to 4 GB. I use Photoshop CS with Painter X for all my digital art and other corrections. Would Elements 6 be similar enough with Photoshop for resizing and other drawing capabilities?

Is there a stand along application for Pages (that's not part of iWork) that I can download for Snow Leopard?

Go to the Mac App Store and search for Pages. That is the only source of a stand alone version, but it requires 10.7, so it does not appear to be possible.

I have updated from Snow Leopard to Lion with Safari Version 5.0.5. Now I can not update to Safari 5.1. There is no update in the Software Updater, and on the apple-download page, I only found a Safari 5.1 for Snow Leopard. When executing it, there is an error message, that it is for 10.6 only.
It seems that I should have first updated Safari, and then only to Lion, which I didn't. Any idea how I can fix this now without having to rollback to Snow Leopard, update Safari and then go back to Lion?

Try this Safari5.1 from the installer package

The download worked better with Firefox not sure why. At the bottom of the page after the captcha>> slow down load is the Free link, it took about 4 minutes to download on my test.
