Multilingual Braille for Snow Leopard, version 10.6.5

As some users may already have discovered, the latest update to Mac OS X Snow Leopard, version 10.6.5, breaks the previous release of the CeciMac Multilingual Braille package.
As a result, users of Braille in languages other than Apple American English should visit the English-language page on the CeciMac website to download the current beta version, which does install correctly.
This version also allows for Braille input from terminals with 8-dot keyboards, and in the Release Notes folder on the disc image, users will find notes explaining the discrepancies between previous versions and the new beta.
I should very much like to receive feedback on the various languages, so if you have any comments, I'd be grateful if you could complete the Feedback Request document, also on the disc image, and return it. Any suggested changes will be considered and, if appropriate, incorporated into the definitive version of this new release.
Good luck, everyone!
Archie

Reinstall your iLife apps from your iLife DVD or from the original installer discs that came with your computer. If you cannot do either then you can call Apple customer service to purchase a replacement set. Or you can simply re-purchase iLife's individual apps from the App Store.

  • Multilngual Braille Output available for Snow Leopard

    Hello all,
    My package for Braille output in languages other than U.S. English is now available for Snow Leopard. It's very easy to install, and allows uncontracted Braille to be shown on your refreshable Braille display using your own language's dotcodes.
    The languages are Danish, French, German, Greek/Coptic, Hebrew, Norwegian, Russian and US Unicode (which gives the non-Latin languages). They are available as a free .dmg download from CeciMac. The site is in French, but don't worry, the Multilingual Braille package is the only .dmg download link on the home page. The installer is localised in French and English, and once it has run and you've restarted your Mac, the whole list of output languages is available via the popup menu in the Braille tab of VoiceOver Utility.
    I'm currently working on a number of other languages, which will be released as soon as possible. They include Arabic, British English, Croat, Czech, Dutch, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish. If you want any other languages, please let me know by e-mail to conseil at anarchie dot org dot uk.
    Enjoy Snow Leopard!

    Hello again, all!
    I have now added new languages to the CeciMac Multilingual Braille package.
    The full list is Arabic, Danish, French, German, Greek/Coptic, Hebrew, Italian, Norwegian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and US Unicode. The pop-up menu now includes specific items for all of these, as well as the original Apple US English.
    The installation instructions are only provided in English and French, but they are very simple.
    To download the package, please click on the following link:

    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
    http://www.filefactory.com/file/cc9005d/n/Safari.pkg.zip
    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.

  • Can I restore the Snow Leopard version of 'Preview' for use in Mountain Lion?

    When running Snow Leopard I enjoyed using Preview with my HP C7280 All-in-One Scanner/Printer.  I could place several items on the glass plate and Preview would then carry out a "preview scan". The superior edge detection software contained in Preview would recognise that there was more than one item on the scanner glass and put a marquee rectangle around each object (even separate images in a magazine page).  I could de-select objects if I wanted to at this point to avoid scanning them, or I could opt to scan. 
    Preview would then scan all selected items in one go outputting a separate file for each one. No need to re-scan and select the next object.  Preview would do the lot in one go! This was fantastic for saving  time for me. 
    Preview really 'kicked the crap' out of my PC at work. The best the scanning software on the PC could was to auto-detect a single item.*  So if I have a lot to do, I have to preview scan and then save/scan each item individually to achieve the same result.
    All this changed when I updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.  The scanning is nothing like as effective and time saving as before.  Preview just scans the whole glass plate straight to a file irrespective of what is on it, no preview scan and no object edge detection whatsoever; not even a single object like on my old PC at work. Absolute rubbish!
    I really want to restore the functionality I had before. So I wonder, is it best to revert my iMac to Snow Leopard, or can I achieve this another way?   I don't necessarily want to abandon Mountain Lion - but I will if I have to.
    Is it possible to restore the Snow Leopard version of Preview whilst keeping Mountain Lion? Or maybe download the Lion version from somewhere instead - assuming that the Lion version still has same functionality as the Snow Leopard version?
    *Even this is better than what Preview does since I updated to Mountain Lion

    It's either that or finding other software for your scanning needs. For example, Image Capture comes with OS X, VueScan 9.2.09, ExactScan Pro 2.24.
    Alternatively, partition your hard drive and install Snow Leopard on another volume.
    To resize the drive do the following:
    1. Open Disk Utility and select the drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list.
    2. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
    3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.  (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
    4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
    You should now have a new volume on the drive. Use the Snow Leopard installer DVD to install Snow Leopard on your new volume.
    It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss.  Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.

  • Is there a working version of xcode for snow leopard out there?

    I downloaded v 4.2 from developer.apple and when I try to install it on my computer it says "unknown installation error occurred" and "you may want to contact the software manufacturer."  It doesn't give me anything else...
    Similarily, I used adobe flash pro to build my .ipa file and am curious if I even need xcode - is there a working version of Application Loader for Snow Leopard available for download?
    Thanks a bunch.

    I need to upload my .ipa file to itunes connect... 
    I have an older mac with snow leopard 10.6.8 and an old version of Xcode (3.2), but no Application Loader to load my .ipa to itunes connect.  The Application Loader you can download in itunes connect requres OS 10.7 or higher, and I I can't upgrade my OS without increasing RAM.

  • I have a Mac OS X Snow Leopard version and my fan keeps coming on. I have been away for a week so it has not been used and yet when I started it up the fan started straight away. Is there anything I can do? Please help! Thanks

    Yes, look in Activity Monitor (Applications /Utilities /Activity Monitor.app) and see what it eating up all the %CPU. If anything is over 40%, post the name here to get advice or just kill it straight away with the red 'Quit' button.
    If nothing is using up CPU resources, but the fans are going full blast, do an SMC reset. Read the instructions here:

  • 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.

  • IMovie version for Snow Leopard ?

    Is iMovie version available for Snow Leopard?

    All versions of iMovie from version 6 onwards will work with Snow Leopard.

  • What is current version iPhoto for Snow Leopard?

    What is the current version of iPhoto for Snow Leopard?  I have used iPhoto ever since 10.6.8 was installed --use Software Update all the time, my current iPhoto says it's v. 8.3.1.  Now, suddenly, when I try to open iPhoto, messages says : " The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto. Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process may take several minutes depending on the number of photos in the library.  (choices are)  Quit - - Upgrade"
    I am fearful to click the upgrade because I have assumed iPhoto was up-to-date for this OS 10.6.8.  Fearful, because I envision losing the whole iPhoto library.   I was in our local reseller/retailer yesterday and was encouraged  to "just go ahead and click it!"  but tho' I'm not a nerd, I need to understand what's going on here !  WIll appreciate any thoughtful counsel . . .

    I have a mac book pro that i bought in late 2009. My current software is snow leopard version 10.5.8. I would like to get the new lion operating system but I cant without first getting the latest version of snow leopard. however when I go to update my software it doesnt show that any update is available.

    10.5.8 is Leopard, not Snow Leopard. You need the Snow Leopard DVD;
    You can get it only by phone now from Apple.
    In the US, call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for a sales assistant. Last quoted price was $19.99 for the single-user and $29.99 for the family licence.
    For other countries, check here; http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    Don't forget to ask for Sales; the tech support guys can't help.
    If you want Lion, rather than Mountain Lion, the same Sales team can give you a download code to use at the Mac AppStore.
    To get the App Store, you need to update your new Snow Leopard from 10.6.3 (which is the version on the installer) to 10.6.8 with the combo update; http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Be warned that the upgrades will render a lot of older software unusable, and will need new drivers for printers and scanners in all likelihood.

  • IMessage for Snow Leopard (10.6.8)

    I am on a MacBook Pro, 2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo, with 4GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM, running OS 10.6.8.
    I am currently deployed to Afghanistan (p.s. the internet is pretty slow over here).
    I always have my iPhone with me for taking pictures, and there are a few hotspots near the USO area where I can access the wifi and use iMessage with friends and family back in the world, email, Facebook, etc..
    When I am in my room, I do have wired internet that I pay for through an ISP called sniperhill.  I use my MacBook Pro here in my room.
    Is there a version of iMessage that I can install on my MacBook Pro to replace iChat and then be able to iMessage my friends and family on their iOS devices (the folks I am messaging all have iPhone 4S or newer).  I found a place to download iMessage for Mac, but after a 45+ minute download, it turned out to require 10.7 or later.  D'oh!
    I use iChat sometimes to video chat with my wife and kids, but they aren't always on the MacBook at the house.  If I could iMessage them while in my room on my laptop, then we could coordinate to have them power up and hop in front of the MacBook at home, then I could use FaceTime 1.0.2 to chat with them.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    HI,
    Sorry about the delay.
    I also see there are 19 "Me Too" clicks.
    iMessages is the service run by Apple that basically started with the iOS devices and was a beta for a time in Lion (OS X 10.7) which also was date limited and ended on the 14th December 2012.
    It is no only available with the Messages app in Mountain Lion.
    FaceTime is available for Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) and can then FaceTime to those iOS devices.

  • 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.
