Movies won't play since update to Snow Leopard.

After updating from Tiger to Snow Leopard I can no longer play movies in iPhoto, I double click the movie but nothing happens. I imported one to iMovie & it plays OK there so what has gone wrong in iPhoto?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Apple Trailers won't play after update to Snow Leopard

I recently upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard and the only glitch I have encountered is that Apple Trailers will not play. The computer screen darkens and the movie viewer screen pops up, but the viewer screen remains black and no movie appears. I have tried reinstalling Snow Leopard and updating to 10.6.1, but still no trailers. Any idea what's going on and what I should do? Many thanks.

Mine seems fine, but you might post a link to a specific trailer.
It's possible it may be Flash related, some early disks broke Flash.
What version of QuickTime do you have? Which browser are you using?

'Open Recent' Not Working In FCP 6 Since Updating To Snow Leopard

Yes, I new I shouldn't of updated to Snow Leopard until they ironed out some wrinkles first, oh well.....
Anyway, I have noticed since updating the 'Open Recent' doesn't seem to work In my FCP 6, I remember Logic Pro doing the same thing a few years back and the word was to bin some kind of preference file?
Any ideas, Cheers

Instructions for Final Cut Pro 6. This might have changed in FCP 7.
Deleting FCP Preferences:
Open a Finder window. Set the view mode to columns:
Click the house icon that has your name next to it.
Click the folder "Library" in the next column.
Find and click the folder "Preferences" in the next column.
Find and click the folder "Final Cut Pro User Data" in the next column.
Move the files "Final Cut Pro 6.0 Prefs", "Final Cut Pro Obj Cache" and "Final Cut Pro Prof Cache" to the Trash and empty it.
When you have a stable set of preference files, download [Preference Manager|http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm] to back them up. If you have further problems, the backup can be recalled and you can continue working.

Cannot access my WD NetCenter since updating to Snow Leopard

Hi there,
I'm updating the OS on both of my MACs. Since I have updated to Snow Leopard I can no longer access my WD NetCenter external drive, but I can on the MAC which has the previous version 10.5.8 Leopard. I can see the wd-netcenter in my SHARED location. When I try to access it I get ....The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “Common” can’t be found.
I've been on NetCenter's support pages and can't find a solution. If anyone has one I'd appreciate it.
kind regards
Robert

Hi sanjampet,
It doesn't show-up on my desk-top; but it does appear in my Finder window. It appears as wd-netcenter under the SHARED location.
I select wd-netcenter to access the netcenter, it then shows all of my folders within the netcenter, but when I select the Connect As.. button, regardless of who I log in as or with what permission the following message appears: The operation can't be completed because the original item for "folder name" can't be found.

Ipad won't sync after updating to snow leopard

Any help available regarding a non-syncing ipad first gen, after updating to snow leopard on my imac? The ios software on ipad is up to date, and the snow leopard version is also up to date. The computer will not even recognize that the ipad is connected. Thx.

Try something very simple first. Quit iTunes, reboot the Mac and restart the iPad. Then try again.
I had some issues when I first installed SL on my last MacBook, and I still have issues every now and then with the iPad not being recognized (now running Lion 10.7.3 on a new MacBook Pro) and this has always worked for me. You may have to reboot the Mac a couple of times - but try it and see if it works for you.

Safari 4.03 don't start since update to Snow Leopard

I've just updated to Snow Leopard and now i have an error message when i want to start Safari 4.03 if i translate it in English :
"Impossible to open this version of Safari software with this version of Mac OS X.
You have Safari 4.0.3"
Did somebody have a solution ?

1. perform a software update, if it finds any go for it
2. if number 1 does nto apply, just reinstall your safari so you have to delete
Safari application
Safari receipt can be found in /library/receipts
safari plist
safari folder from /library/safari
trash the above items. insert your snow leopard disc then do an optional install.

Movies won't play after update to iPhone 2.1 Software

Help. I updated my 16GB iPod Touch with the iPhone 2.1 software to support applications. But now, when I go back and try to play my mp4 and m4v movie files on my iPod touch, they won't play. When I try to play them I get a warning that says "this movie could not be played". Videos I purchased from iTunes continue to play just fine.
Is this a new anti-piracy thing or something like that or am I having a problem with the iPhone 2.1 software? If I knew I wouldn't be able to watch my old movies and TV shows, I wouldn't have upgraded to 2.1.
Thanks for your help.

Just a quick update on my issue... which seems different than most. To summarize, I tried updating from iTunes 10.6 directedly via USB. Got an empty progress bar when it "rebooted" after "successfully updating" to 5.1 with a memory allocation bar on itunes showing most the memory as allocated to "other", instead of the usual memory allocation to apps, music, pcits, etc. Rebooted the phone, but still came up with an empty progress bar, but would connect to itunes.. showing booted as 5.1, but again the memory was still allocated to "other". Started recovery process on itunes to try to bring back my old config, after which the iphone fully booted (into 5.1), but was completely.... recovered and re-installed all my apps, music, etc without a hitch and rebooted successfully, this time the memory allocation was correctly labeled, but somewhere I gained 2.0 GB of memory, even with all the same apps and music installed. I had to do some minor additional configurations (password lock had to be re-enabled), but otherwise, everything was working. A bunch of apps lost their stored settings... which I though strange as I expected the "backups" to store those settings as well. Otherwise, running 5.1 now without issues... seems much snappier than 5.0.1... but the process was nerve racking to say the least.
Best of luck with other "explorers" tyring to make the whole process work.

Cannot connect to any IM clients since updating to snow leopard.

Hey Guys
I'm having a problem with my IM clients since updating to 10.6. I use Adium primarily and have Microsoft messenger through Office 2008 installed. Every time I try and connect to the servers I get a message in Adium telling me it has a connection error and Microsoft Messenger tells me I am not connected to the internet. I have tried other clients such as Pidgin and have the same issues and my MSN still works on my windows desktop. I am absolutely stuck with what to do. Adium support says that as it doesnt work on Microsoft messenger its nothing to do with them and its a issue on my side :S.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for responding guys. I looked to see if their was a firewall option somewhere I could disable or make a exemption for but came up with nothing. Today I reinstalled snow leopard again and every thing seems ok now. I really am not sure what the problem was.
Thanks for your help anyway. this could help others in a similar situation.

Pages 09 not printing graphics since updating to snow leopard

I've updated to 10.6.2 but I am unable to print templates with graphics to my Xerox 6520 DP printer. Reloaded the drivers but still not working. Will go ck with Xerox to see if they are issuing a new release driver or not. I tried opening a template within Pages and I get the same result of "error printing" no number along with it. Tried doing a save as PDf and get the same printing error. Anyone have any ideas?

Repair permission is something I do after a major installation. Do that.
Are you able to print from other applications, i.e. TextEdit?
If not, can you print from another account? You can create a new account from Accounts in the System preferences.
It might be the driver that needs an update but that is outside my knowledge.

DNS odd problem since updating to snow leopard

Basically, I can't resolve hostnames on my local network except using dig. Here is an example:
+mackbook:etc mattboswell$ dig gateway+
+; <<>> DiG 9.6.0-APPLE-P2 <<>> gateway+
+;; global options: cmd
+;; Got answer:+
+;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 7203+
+;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0+
+;; QUESTION SECTION:+
+;gateway. IN A+
+;; ANSWER SECTION:+

+;; WHEN: Thu Oct 15 23:25:12 2009+
+;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 41+
Ok, that works. But this does not:
+mackbook:etc mattboswell$ ping gateway+
+ping: cannot resolve gateway: Unknown host+
I know this is probably something simple but I'm not sure where to look.
Thanks,
Matt

Ok, this is odd. There are names on the .local domain that I can resolve just fine, and others that I cannot. Example, there is a host called divaplug (it's a sheevaplug) that I can resolve ok, ssh divaplug or ping divaplug work just fine. There is another host called ubuntu-dev that will resolve with dig but ping or ssh require the trailing . to resolve.

Can't open or start new projects in Logic after updating to Snow Leopard

I've been having a few problems with Logic 9 since updating to Snow Leopard (10.6.8 ) a couple of days ago.
Every time i click on "new" and try and start a new project - logic freezes and i get the rotating circle sign and Logic stops responding - eventually i need to force quit and start again.
Existing projects seem to be functioning fine, although slightly slower than before.
Does anyone have any fixes for this?! Not being able to start a new project is quite a big problem!
Thanks

The mistake was trusting only TimeMachine as your backup/restore.
If you had your users files also backed up to a external storage drive, or used a bootable clone (since they can be directly accessed) then you could have recovered just your files.
This is what I suggest you do since TM apprantly botched things.
1: Visit my user tip here and attempt to fix Snow Leopard in place, the purpose here is to get a booing machine so you can use a working Admin account to copy the user folder containing your files to a regular external drive.
I suggest #8 and #6, this will reinstall OS X over itself to fix it, then reset the User Password so you can hopefully log in.
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
2: This method will also work, you install Snow Leopard onto a extenral drive and boot from it. This is probally a more safer choice than above, it's certainly less work, but it needs a blank external powered drive.
.Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
3: Once a copy of your users files is off, then your free to revert your machine back to Snow Leopard.
The ENTIRE drive must be selected and erased, to set the GUID, erase the RecoveryHD and EFI partitions.

Can't open new project in Logic after updating to Snow Leopard

opened from the tool bar and also directly from applications. Any more suggestions?
Can you start a new project, or are you saying you cannot launch DVD SP at all? If the later try deleting the preferences (since you are on the road, make sure you copy the preferences to someplace in case something goes wrong.) If it is the former, you may not be ablle to open the existing project if you took all the steps of clicking cancel etc., though the deleting preferences could possibly help if the preferences are corrupted and causing an issue when you are trying to skip files. (Would not count on that one though.)

Updated to snow leopard. Printer no longer turning on.

Since updating to Snow Leopard, my printer (an HP DeskJet 5550) no longer turns on when I print over my wireless network via Airport Express. Not sure if this has something to do with the Express, Snow Leopard, or something else.
Any thoughts?

I am having the same problem with an HP Laserjet 1150 connected to my Airport Extreme.

Playing videos since I updated to Snow Leopard

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard playing videos on my MacBook make my fan run on high, whether I am on the internet or using Quicktime. What can I do about this?

iLife is not a part of Mac OS X. It is not included on a retail copy of Leopard or any version of Mac OS X. You will have to reinstall iPhoto, or any of the original iLife applications you had, form the original disks that came with your computer. Most likely there's a grey Mac OS X install disk and a grey "Applications" disk that came with your Mac. The current version of iPhoto, available from the App Store, requires Mac OS X 10.7.4 or later.

ITunes Error: Cannot play bought iTunes movie from one day to the other "The selected movie won't play on your display."

Hi,
just a few weeks ago I watched on my new iMac 5k Retina a long-ago-downloaded movie (iTunes content, HD, Billy Joel. Live at Shea Stadium). I had no issues watching it on the new wonderful display just a few weeks ago!
Today I wanted to resume the video and got the error "The selected movie won’t play on your display. This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).".
Actually the movie plays for a few seconds and then the movie window gets black and the error message appears. Restarting iTunes does not help. Restarting the Mac also not.
How can this be fixed?
Additionally I get since I moved from my old iMac to the new one the iTunes error "Do you want the application “iTunes.app” to accept incoming network connections?" every time I start iTunes.
