Maxtor 1 Touch - Not showing up after install of Snow Leopard

My maxtor 1 touch external drive, connected via firewire worked fine on my mac running Leopard. Since installing Snow Leopard, it is not detected at all. I have done some research and found that the problem is that I had password protected the drive when I first set it up. The password was properly requested under Leopard. It seems, after discussions with Maxtor (Seagate) that the password protection is not compatable with Snow Leopard. They told me my option is to roll back to Leopard, take off the password, reinstall Snow Leopard. My reluctance to do this is the fact that to roll back to leopard I have to do an Erase & Install. Does anyone know of any other options that might work? Has anyone encountered this problem? Or maybe provide steps that would allow me to roll back to Leopard without doing "Erase and Install" process?

Really? No Leopard backup to fall back onto while you investigate SL? Bad ju ju that. See these for better practices:

Lion and snow leopard bootcamp, after installing lion snow leopard bootcamp with windows 7 does not boot

Just installed Lion OS on my 2nd mac (on the 1st without an issue) but as I had a partition with windows 7 (installed with Snow Leopard bootcamp).
It seems that Lion OS renamed the Bootcamp partition but I am not able to rename it through OS.
Is there a solution for this or do I need to re-install?
Many thanks for your help
Rui

Hi Jack.........ok ive managed to create a link to that video on how to install bootcamp.....this is the tutorial i used and i managed to gain 100% completion on bootcamp 1st time no messing......like i said in my previous reply did you save the windows support files from apple....(Critical).....ok no point in messing about i suggest you start again from scratch........these are the things i used and YOU will need to complete bootcamp
mem stick or cd-r / dvd-r......original copy disc of win 7 ...i never used an iso i used original disc....allow a minimum of 30gb of space for your win 7 partition.....if you want bootcamp so you can use big programs like windows based games i.e.....Crysis/Call of duty etc etc ..then you will need to consider that you will need to allow a bigger partition to allow your HD to store the files.....this is the reason i installed bootcamp and so i made my partition i have a 750GB HD so i made a partition of 300gb for windows 7 and left the other 450gb for Mac....so you need to partition enough for what you want bootcamp for remember once you get bootcamp working you will need to install ALL Important Windows updates Including Win 7 SP1......once everything is installed you will have bootcamp up and running lovely.....u can then boot up with either win7 or mac......click this link and watch carefully and do exactly as shown ok and you should be fine...if you have any probs contact me again ok.....let me know how you get on ok..:)...http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=fvwp&v=QFIWtXTl4d0&NR=1

Isight is not working anymore after updating to snow leopard

it used to work very well. i updated snow leopard 5 days ago. i try to use skype and photo booth, it is never working again. do people have the same problem?
thank you for your information

My iSight was working fine before I upgraded to snow leopard? Is there a software fix coming?
Welcome to Discussions, lightwright
... this has something to do with the snow leopard software update ...
You may be correct that the problem has something to do with your SL update, but, as previously explained, many of us successfully use iSight every day after upgrading to Snow Leopard, so the problem is not SL itself. If you believe that your problem is with your update, you should consider reapplying the update using the method suggested above.
If you continue to have iSight problems after properly applying the SL update, consider all relevant troubleshooting suggestions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
However, if your iSight problem continues, and if iSight now does NOT show as a USB device in your Mac's System Profiler, yours is most likely a hardware problem. In that case, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
If, after properly applying the SL update and using the Troubleshooting suggestions, iSight IS recognized in System Profiler but still does NOT work with any of your video-enabled Apple software, your disk may contain some pre-SL software that is causing problems. Either erase the disk and apply only Apple software to see if that fixes your problem, or seek help from your Apple-Authorized Service Provider.

Sync iphone after install of Snow Leopard

Hi, I am having a problem getting the apps that are currently on my iphone onto my macbook.
The other day I did I clean install of snow leopard by formatting the hard drive then copied across my essential data my viewing my time machine backup and going into the newest date.
I had everything backed up apart from my apps, which I though would be associated with my account seen as I purchased the majority of them. I have just tried to buy the same app using my same account to find that I have been charge twice now.
The only thing that I can think of is that my card expired so I have had to add a new card number.

I had the same problem on a clean install. Apps appear on iPhone but not in iTunes.
Copy the actual (*.ipa) iPhone apps from your backup or time machine.
from old location: Home folder / music / iTunes / mobile applications
to new Snow Leopard Location: Home folder / music / iTunes / mobile applications
Select sync applications in iTunes Applications tab.

Rotate movie feature not showing up after installing quick time pro key

I installed Quick Time 7 Player for Windows and then entered my Quick Time 7 Pro registration code. When I open a movie, recorded on a Sony Cyber Shot camera, movie editing features are not showing up. I need to rotate my movies 90 degrees and that was the sole purpose of purchasing the pro addition.
After reading through pages of on-line support resourses and endless calls for technical support (and receiving none), I am still unable to figure out what's going on. Any ideas? Thank you for your help and insights in advance.

Sounds like you are trying to edit muxed mpeg files, the editing of which QT PRO does not support. It also will not export the sound from such files. If they are mpeg-1 you can use Mpeg StreamClip to edit or export them. If they are mpeg-2 you would first need to buy the mpeg2playbackcomponent. With that component installed mpegstreamclip will also edit mpeg2 files.

TS4062 iPod Touch not showing content after sync

iTunes says it is transferring over podcasts, but the latest podcasts don't show up on my iTouch. This just started this past week, and my iTouch is not full. I saw there was an operating system update yesterday (7.1.1), so I did that, hoping that would help, but no such luck. iTunes told me it was transferring another podcast over this morning, but still nothing new is showing up in my podcast area on my iTouch.

I am having a similar issue. I have a 1st-generation iPod touch, and a MacBook running Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.3) and iTunes 9.1.1. It's a bit old now and the WiFi isn't very good, but my iPod touch still works perfectly, except that it doesn't show up in iTunes, which I discovered yesterday when I tried to sync some new music. I got my iTouch G1 the first week they came out and it worked perfectly with my iBook G4 running Tiger, and also worked perfectly with my new MacBook running Leopard which replaced the iBook when its logic board bit the dust. I recently updated to Snow Leopard (about a month ago now), and now my iTouch doesn't show up in my iTunes sidebar, but a volume shows up in Disk Utility that could only be this iPod and things do happen when I plug in the iPod (the first time I connected it since I added some Snow to my Leopard, iPhoto opened and prompted a download of a screenshot I'd taken with the iPod). I'm mostly writing this right now because the support page pertinent to this issue is down due to some sort of Apple web maintenance and I'm tired of getting the same error message. I actually have everything on my Mac backed up, and when I installed Snow Leopard I just did a basic installation but have been thinking of going back and doing a clean wipe and install and then getting the iTunes and iPhoto libraries et cetera off of my external HD. Would this fix my problem? I figure that since my iPod touch's files and system have been constant throughout this, it must be some issue with Snow Leopard, however before I wipe everything and have to set my system up again from scratch, I would like to know if this problem would be fixed by doing that or if there is some problem inherent in Snow Leopard that needs to be manually fixed.

TS1424 Apple Mobile device does not show up after installing 10.0.7.21

Receive message "Apple Device not started". Apple Device does not show up in Adminstrative Tools, Services. Windows 7 64bit, IOS6.0.1.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if a component such as Apple Mobile Device Support won't install normally.

Photoshop no longer opens after install of snow leopard

I just installed snow leopard & am no longer able to open Adobe Photoshop. I get an error message of:
"An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a program error. Photoshop will now exit."
Anyone else have &/or solve this problem?

I also upgraded to Snow Leopard, and work with Photoshop CS2 extensively.
- intel Mac 2.16 ghz 3GB RAM, btw.
Let me tell you, my problems:
It worked fine after installing Rosetta. It worked for a couple of weeks, with some blue screen crashes and Photoshop quits. but ran ok.
Then on a weekend that I had to finish up some work, Photohsop stopped working. Yikes! First it said I had to activate the product. Weird. Well I did, then basically CS2 stopped working and gave me an error message: "A Serious Error has occurred. Please reinstall the software"
Weird again. I reinstalled it. It still would not work. the same "Serious Error..." message. After diggin around on the internet, I found out about all the compatibility issues with ALL the Photoshops and Snow Leopard. I followed different paths/workarounds on deleting, reinstalling I could find on the net, all to no avail. It would always give me the "Serious Error" message. I called Adobe, but the Tech Support is not open on the weekends!
Bottom Line is I eventually had to clean reinstall Leopard OS, which wipes out the whole HD, And then I restored from a Time Machine Backup. BUT - I didn't want to restore from a 10.6 Time Machine Backup, so I had to go all the way back to an Aug. 10.5.8 backup on Time Machine. Good thing I kept my most recent work on another external drive or else I would have lost my work.
My Conclusions: *Photoshop CS2 DOES NOT WORK WITH SNOW LEOPARD*. From my experience, it seems my Photoshop CS2 reset itself to the 'beginning' and basically I was working on it as if it were a 15 day trial mode - after installing Snow Leopard. That's why it lasted for a couple of weeks, then asked me to 'Activate' it. After calling Adobe today, they told me that CS2 is not Tech Supported anymore - there won't be any fixes, patches for it. I should have searched some message boards before I upgraded, and NOT have purchased Snow Leopard. For me I'm happy and content to be living in the not-to-distant past of Leopard 10.5.8 and having Photoshop work properly.

IPhoto will not load up after system crash (Snow Leopard)

I had a major crash following Snow Leopard installation and have managed to save my photos but I am unable to get iPhoto working.
I click on iPhoto but an Error Message comes up with the following comments:_
Exception Type: EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP)
Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000000

Anyone have any ideas how I can get iPhoto back working ?

Neil,
Sure.
If you don't have Pacifist, download it from Version Tracker or Mac Update..
Once you have Pacifist, insert your Snow Leopard Disk and then open Pacifist.
Scroll down through the files in Pacifist which show all the files on the Snow Leopard DVD.
Follow the path you already showed.
Once you find the file, click on it to highlight it and then have Pacifist install that file for you.
You probably need to restart but not positive. Restart anyway.
Then try iPhoto....

ICal Events on Tiger Not Showing Up in iCal on Snow Leopard

Don't know that I've noticed this before but calendar events I insert on iCal running on 10.4.11 (Tiger) do not appear after syncing in iCal on my laptop running Snow Leopard. What gives?
Joe

Let me try to clarify what you want to do. You want the Events and Albums in your iPhoto library on your Mac to be synced to your mobile devices, right?
Do you have this box checked in iPhoto's iCloud preference pane?
That will upload all of the new photos you've added to the library to the Photo Stream.
If the iPad isn't picking them up try disabling the Photo Stream on the iPad and then reenable it.

Time Capsule backup not working anymore after upgrade to Snow Leopard

Hi,
after I upgraded to Snow Leopard I started the backup process with the time capsule. Within several days I tried this about 5 times and the iMac crashed or froze after some time doing the backup - but it never completed.
I then deleted the whole content of the time capsule and started a fresh backup. Now I receive a message after some gigabyte that there was a problem and I should try it again. Again the backup has not finished so far. I tried to reduce the amount of files to backup by excluding folders - no chance. Since the upgrade to snow I was not able to complete one single backup.
Any ideas or similar experience?

I have had a similar problem. I have the latest 1TB Time Capsule and backup worked fine in Leopard. I am backing up over my home wireless network. The backup starts, but at some point it freezes with the spinning pizza wheel if I click on anything. Everything freezes with no possibility of force quitting any application.
I tried trashing the plist for Time Machine, but that didn't work. Tonight I'm going to try a backup with the computer connected to the Time Capsule by Ethernet.
I can access my existing Time Machine backups on the Time Capsule.
This is a frustrating situation. But for this, SL works great, but this problem is a critical one.

Macbook does not start anymore after upgrade to Snow Leopard

I successfully upgraded my MacbookAir to Snow Leopard, but my son's Macbook refuses to start after having been upgraded.
Please help!

Hello,
my MacBook Pro (late 2008 unibody) just needs a main logicboard replacement, fortunatly still within warrenty, after updating to 10.6.0. I experienced the following: With an update from 10.5.6 to 10.5.7 the MBP freezed within 10min. after reboot, with every restart it freezed after a shorter period and finally freezed during the boot process. I've mounted the MBP as an external HD to my iMac, did an backup and deleted the internal MBP harddrive by overwriting it with zeros. I did the usual procedure of resetting SMC, P/V-RAM and reinstalled 10.5.6 - everything was fine again!
When Snow Leopard came out, I updated again, hoping the issue has been repaired. BUT I experienced the same problems and with some system permission deleting I got SL running as long as I did not turn on AirPort. As soon airport is activated and an internet connection is established I could count the seconds until the mac freezes. And it will only come up again by deleting the system configuration preferences (via single user mode booting).
Thereafter I was sure there is a hardware problem with the airport card or the logic board. The Apple Service Provider did not find any hardware failure and finally will change the logic board. Hopefully I got the Mac back next Tuesday. I let you know about the results.
Best regards!
PS: Obviously software could damage hardware or some hardware components used by Apple are not compatible with some of their software.

Mail attachments NOT showing in header as in Snow Leopard

This has to deal with incoming attachments.
Snow Leopard Maikl has a line in the header that said "1 Attachement, 534KB" and a grey disclosure triangle that would show the attachments as icons.
I cannot find this anywhere in Lion Mail. Does anyone know how to activate this? It's a real pain in the a s s to sift through the body of the email for attachments when just clicking the disclosure triangle was so much more efficient.

Interesting.
I have such this info displayed on my emails with attachments.
Do you see the "Details" thingy at the upper right hand corner of the message window?
If so, click on it.

Apex 4.2 developer page not showing up after installing over 10g

Hi there,
So as luck would have it my Win XP OS crashed. Yes, its the office laptop and I cannot upgrade the OS for now. Anyhow, I got the whole machine re-imaged and installed 10g which had version 2.1 and everything was okay. I was earlier running apex 4.1.1. I could not find that setup on the oracle site so I downloaded apex 4.2 and ran the installation as per page
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/application-express/upgrade-apex-for-xe-154969.html
Everything went through properly except for step
5. Log back into SQL*Plus (as above) and load images:
SQL> @apxldimg.sql APEX_HOME
[Note: APEX_HOME is the directory you specified when unzipping the file. For example, with Windows 'C:\'.]
where it asked me to enter the directory and I entered C:\
This is what happened
SQL> @apxldimg.sql
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
Enter value for 1: C:\
old 1: create directory APEX_IMAGES as '&1/apex/images'
new 1: create directory APEX_IMAGES as 'C:\/apex/images'
Directory created.
^C
C:\apex>
I see a backslash and forward slash so I did a ctrl c . When I tried running the command again - @apxldimg.sql
it just would open the .sql file.
Not sure if this is the issue, but anyhow, after this, when I tried the "go to database page. It just shows a blank page. Any idea what needs to be done. I was happy with 4.1.1. Is that available anywhere? Maybe I can remove XE and do a fresh install with that.
Please advise.
thanks,
Ryan

Jeff,
I had a question on that. I am installing the software on my local machine. I have my apex files under C:\apex
Now when it asks for images directory, what should I enter,
C:
C:\
C:\apex
Reason being that as per the upgrade instructions it was given as 'C:\'
when I gave C:\ the new path showed up as C:\/apex/images.
also, do we need to give the directory in single quotes?
thanks,
Ryan

Startup choices not showing up after install of earlier system on second drive

I run Yosemite on my main hard drive and love it. However, I have Pro Tools 10 and it won't run on the latest OSX 10.10.2 (Yosemite). So I decided to install OSX 10.6.8 on one of 5 internal hard drives on my computer so I could use PT10. So the install was successful, but when I go to my startup disk to select my Yosemite drive to startup with it again, I get no choice to select it. The only choice I get in my Startup Disk selections is the 10.6.8 drive, and the 10.6.8 install disk which is in my DVD drive. All my other drives are visible when I have a window open in 10.6.8, including the Yosemite, but not visible in as a startup choice in the Startup Disk preference.
The fact I see everything still in a window keeps me from freaking out.
Can someone tell me how to make my other system drive visible as a choice? I don't know what I've done to make it not visible. I've done this kind of thing plenty of times over the years, using another drive for an earlier system, but this has never happened where the others don't show up as a choice to restart, and I'm a tad worried.
Thanks for your help!
Michael

Niel,
Thanks so much for responding. It solved my problem! All is well.
Two more questions, if you don't mind.
1) Do I have to do that every time I want to get back to my Yosemite drive from 10.6.8? Can I change that where it shows up all the time?
2) What do I do to have all the other drive icons show up on the desktop of the 10.6.8 drive? Even the main 10.6.8 drive isn't showing on the desktop. I remember this happening before, but forgot what I did to correct it.
Again, many thanks!!!!
