My gmail won't load on my imac since I loaded snow leopard. It stalls 5/6 of the way to booting up. Thoughts?

My gmail account will not laod up since I loaded OSX Snow leopard. It starts to load but stops 5/6 of the wat through.
Any ideas on how to solve this?
Thanks

Found this, which might provide a clue:
I have had problems with 3.1 after installing Snow Leopard, with files created in MS Word - they come up with the text invisible (as though it's white, but changing the text colour doesn't help - by highlighting I can tell that the paragraphs are where they should be).
I upgraded to 3.1.1 but that did not solve the problem...
UPDATE: I found out the problem, it was nothing to do with Open Office, but rather the way Snow Leopard handles fonts. I went into the Font Book and found that a number of common fonts are now listed both in the "User" and "Computer" collections. I deleted the duplicate ones from "User" and now all works perfectly.

    Hello Brad:
    First, forget about a virus. There are NO documented viruses that affect a Mac running OS X - none.
    Do you have about 10-15% of the HD free at all times?

    have reformatted my Imac using original discs (installed leopard (10.5)) tried to do the software update but it cant download the itunes update and when it gets to the configure update screen after restart for main update, it just gets stuck. HELP!
    The configure bar gets about an 1/8 full and then just does nothing. I think its lists the update as combo update? cant remember with out checking.
    I have tried to do the disk verify and repair but this has made no difference.
    Please let me know what i need to do, I have reformatted the mac just to start over as was clogged with a lot of useless data, I had installed lion (10.7) from the app store previously and now cant seem to find a way to re install lion. I hope I dont need to pay for it again?

    If you erased your hard drive, you'll need to reinstll OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard to access the App store. You won't have to pay for OS X 10.7 Lion again. Did you try booting to the recovery partition by holding the command and r keys down? If that's still there, you can reinstall OS X 10.7 from there.
    If you're looking to install the current iTunes, you need OS X 10.6.8 at a minimum.
    If you're still trying to update OS X 10.5 Leopard, you can download the combo update from here.  Download, use Disk Utility to repair permissions, apply the update, then repair permissions again. That will take you to OS X 10.5.8.

    My early (white plastic) 2006 imac freezes.  I'm running Snow Leopard and have formatted and reinstalled the software 3 or 4 times.   Model Name:          iMac  
    Model Identifier:          iMac4,1  
    Processor Name:          Intel Core Duo  
    Processor Speed:          2 GHz  
    Until I installed the SMC FanControl application my screen would "break up" into strange patterns and then would eventually freeze.  Please help.

    If you are trying to upgrade using a gray-faced OS X disk from another system, that won't work, as those disks are locked to the system types they are delivered with. You'll need to drop the $29 on a retail copy of Snow Leopard, which is available from the Apple online store. Note Snow Leopard requires 1GB minimum, and you may want at least 2GB for better performance.

  • IMac 5.1 running Snow Leopard 10.6.

    Running Snow Leopard 10.6.  Will Airport extreme work?  Could I manage airport extreme from my iPad or iPhone with the app?  Having issues with the range of our Fios wireless reach and am thinking about Airport Extreme but am concerned that I won't be able to manage it via the iMac we use.

    Running Snow Leopard 10.6.  Will Airport extreme work? 
    Please see the System Requirements for the AirPort Extreme:
    Setup and Administration
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3
    http://www.apple.com/airport-extreme/specs/
    Could I manage airport extreme from my iPad or iPhone with the app?
    Yes, assuming that it meets the requirements shown above
    am concerned that I won't be able to manage it via the iMac we use.
    The iMac cannot be used to set up or administer the AirPort Extreme, but an iPhone or iPad that meets the requirements listed above could be used for that purpose.

  • IMac 10.6.8, Snow Leopard with iTunes 11.0.1. loss of wifi speed when connecting a Bose Sound System via bluetooth

    Hello, I have an iMac 10.6.8, Snow Leopard with iTunes 11.0.1. When connecting my Bose Sound System via bluetooth the wifi downloadspeed goes from snappy to a crawl, disconnecting the bluetooth connection, the downloadspeed goes up again. Don't have this problems with the Sound System when connecting it to my iPad. I like to mention too, that the downloadspeed of my iPad is always better than of my iMac. Are there any experiences concerning this problem? Thank you in advance.

    UPDATE - PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!!
    You can thank me later - after an hour on the phone, I finally got through to a Senior Engineer.
    Apperently the issues lies with GRID VIEW.
    Open your Itunes, Click on TV SHOWS, then quickly change your view from GRID VIEW (Defaults to this) to List View and Viola!
    We tested it out on the phone just minutes ago, my problem is solved and I suspect if you guys try this yours will be too.

  • IMac i7 need to install snow leopard NOT Lion - Will it allow the install of 10.6?

    I have a bit of a quirk to deal with, a client has a Snow Leopard Network but just recently had a replacement iMac i7 delivered for a previous box from earlier in the year. The IT Contractor is stating that the machine can only take Lion and will not install Snow Leopard. The problem is there is some FileMaker issues that have come up with some deep level custom functions that have exposed a critical problem and the machine needs to run Snow Leopard. This would be until the work around is developed for the software solution or FMI comes out with the next version of FileMaker resolving the issue.
    Is the IT Contract full of it ? If not is there a way to force the iMac i7 to accept a Snow Leopard installation ?

    For years Macs have not be able to run earlier versions of OS X than they originally shipped with so this is nothing new. It also makes a lot of sense when you think of it, one of the reasons Mac's run so well is the software and hardware are optimized to run well together. Attempting to install an earlier version of OS X than what the machine was designed for is technically possible but it also comes with significant risks because you're then dealing with a system that wasn't designed to run well together...in other words you're emulating the MS Windows world.  While there can be some temporary inconvenience as you're experiencing in this case  Apple makes these decisions for a reason. While not always obvious to we end users but there are good reasons none the less.

  • Just upgraded my iMac to OS x snow leopard. trouble now with my printer. I've disconnected and reconnected. Does not seem to recognize printer. It is listed as the default printer

    just upgraded my iMac to OS x snow leopard. Now I have another problem. Printer not working. I've unplugged and replugged, nothing happens
    HELP
    thanks in advance

    Go to the website for your printer manufacturer and check if there are SL compatible drivers available for your model. This is not an unusual issue, and if the printer's not too old, the updated drivers should be there.
    If you can't find one on the manufacturer's site, try Apple Support Downloads and look back through the updates in there; Apple has issued generic updates for a number of printers since SL's release, so you may find one that way.
    After installing the new drivers you'll need to setup the printer again.

  • I have an iMac mid-2010 running Snow Leopard. Is it possible to install Mavericks and Windows 8 on separate partitions while keeping Snow Leopard?

    I have an iMac mid-2010 running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Is it possible to install Mavericks and Windows 8 on separate partitions while keeping Snow Leopard? If so, can you describe the steps?

    That should not be a problem as long as there is enough room on each partition for each OS.
    You would:
    Use Disk Utility to partition your HD
    Download the Mavericks installer and install it on one of the open partitions (when you run the installer from your 10.6.8 partition, it will ask you where you want to put Mavericks, and you will specify one of the open partitions).
    Use Boot Camp to install Windows on another of the open partitions. Mac Basics: Using Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp
