My Macbook needs to be very close to my router for it to connect to my network. Why is my mac suddenly struggling to pick it up after I upgrade to Snow Leopard?

This has happened since I upgraded to Snow Leopard. When I use Windows (via Boot camp) I can be anywhere in the room and be able to pick up and connect to my network via my router instantly. However, when using OS I literally have to be less then a meter away from the router.
This didn't happen when I was using Leopard, so why has it changed and how can I improve?

You need to boot using the 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD that you bought from the Apple Store.
If your machine had 10.5 when you got it then in order to upgrade to 10.6.8 you must have purchased 10.6. If you've lost that DVD you can buy it again from the Apple Store.

    Because something is wrong.
    To fix, try the following in order, testing after each until one of these suggestions works:
    (1) Restart Mac.
    (2) Use Disk Utility to repair permissions.
    (3) OS X Mavericks: Reinstall OS X

  • QuickTime stopped working after installing upgrading to Snow Leopard

    Hi,
    I am using a MacBook Pro and was running Mac OS X Leopard, and QuickTime worked perfectly. After I upgraded to Snow Leopard I can´t get QuickTime to work. When I try to reinstall QuickTime for Snow Leopard it tells me it is already installed.
    How will I get it to work again?

    but now I can not open QuickTime at all.
    I hate to ask, but what does this mean? Are you double-clicking or "drop" opening a movie and no player is opening? Are you simply clicking on the application icon and no player is opening but the application name does display in the top-left area of you monitor? Do you get a modal message saying something is wrong or saying the application quit unexpectedly while opening? Please try to be more specific regarding what is actually taking place as this may provide additional clues as to whether the problem is in the application, the operating system, 32-bit/64-bit mode switching/access problems, missing playback components for 32-bit routines, component list ordering conflicts, etc.

  • After iMac upgrade to  Snow Leopard print quality with Epson R2400 is very bad.   Anyone have a workaround?

    Recently attended excellent workshop about the Fine Art of Printing with R Mac Holbert and John Paul Caponigro.  They indicated printing using iMac computers was difficult.  I upgraded to Snow Leopard and now print output quality is so poor that the results are totally usable. 
    A call to Epson support on December 9th was of no help.
    Is there a workaround for this problem?  Thanks so much.

    Re
    yes i use and install many new imac , your problem of "colorimetrie" could generaly sovled by
    calibrate your screen and use icc profile from printer / scanner manufacturer
    mac os software tool to do tha is locate into , app folder -> utility folder -> Colorsync utility
    look for it
    exemple :
    and from system preferences -> monitor -> color , calibrate button

  • MPB mid-2010 very slow after Yosemite upgrade from Snow Leopard

    I updated my MPP (mid-2010) from Snow Leopard to Yosemite some weeks back. It is painfully slow since, particularly when Mail is open. I attach the etrecheck output below, but would really appreciate any help in recovering what was not-so-long-ago a very useful machine.

    Your Mac has been considerably altered from its factory configuration. Given certain modifications, some of which are described below, it is not reasonable to expect it to operate properly.
    1. Back up your Mac. Your report indicates the last backup was performed a month ago. No more backups can be created because the backup volume's capacity is insufficient.
    2. Uninstall any McAfee products. Your Mac cannot operate properly with it installed.
    One or both of these removal instructions may be applicable.

    3. Your Mac has been affected by MacPaw "CleanMyMac". Uninstall it, but beware its uninstallation instructions are not completely effective. Depending on exactly what you used it to do, a complete erasure and reconfiguration may be required.
    4. Update OS X. Open the App Store and install all Apple recommended updates.
    5. If you require a VPN I recommend OS X's native VPN, not Cisco's flawed implementation of it.
    6. If you elect to use Adobe Flash Player you must keep it maintained. The version installed is outdated.

  • My Firefox bookmarks just changed dramatically overnight after I upgraded to Snow Leopard OS 10.6.8. I don't want the icons which take up space

    I used to be able to keep about 45 frequently used bookmarks on the bookmarks toolbar which was simply one line when I had OS 10.5.8 (Leopard). Now there are colorful icons and boxes and spaces between each bookmark and I can barely get 20 on the tool bar. This really is annoying. I like just having small text and a space between the bookmarks. Is there any way of simply going back to the old way of displaying them so I can access more of them and not get distracted by all the extra added icons? I don't need a multicolored pocket book next to the Ebay bookmark! Please help me. Progress sometimes isn't always good.

  • After recent upgrade to Snow Leopard, my Canon Printer no longer works

    I am not sure that the two are directly related, but the timing suggests they might be.
    The printer is the Canon MF4350d USB that I've used for a couple of years with no issues whatsoever. In the Printer Queue, it acknowledges that the Printer is ready.
    The error I get is this:
    Error:/System/Library/Printers/Libraries/PrintJobMgr/Contents/MacOS/PrintJobMgr failed
    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Printer with the same results.
    Please help.

    You have deleted and re-added the printer and reinstalled the latest drivers from Canons website, right?

  • No install discs, upgrading to Snow Leopard, selling MacBook question

    I have searched these boards and have found "partial" answers to my situation. Asking for your patience in advance:
    I'm selling my 2008 MacBook to a good friend's college bound daughter. I lost my install disks, and called Apple Tech who advised based on the cost difference I just upgrade to Snow Leopard (vs. pay for replacement install disks). I was told I could "re-set" the laptop back to factory settings so my friend's daughter has the "out of the box" experience when receiving it.
    Maybe I've read TOO many of the good tips on these boards, but feel a little confused:
    Is my understanding correct that by installing the Snow Leopard upgrade , employing Disk Utility to 'erase' the HD, then aborting the installation process before registering  this will result in the out of box experience?
    thanks much!

    Prepare Your Mac for Sale
    Boot from the Snow Leopard Installer Disc One.  After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.  After DU loads select the startup volume from the left side list then click on the Erase tab.  Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then click on the Options button.  Select the one pass Zero Data option and click on the OK button.  Then click on the Erase button.
    Note: You can skip the Zero Data option if you are not concerned about removing sensitive personal data from the hard drive.  If you choose to skip this part of the process then it is possible for others to recover data from the hard drive.  The Zero Data procedure will prevent others from getting access to your personal information.
    This process will take 30 minutes to several hours depending upon the size of the hard drive.  After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Now complete the OS X installation.  At the completion of the installation do not restart the computer.  Instead just shut it off.  The next user will be presented with the Setup Assistant when they turn on the computer just as it would if new out of the box.

  • Search in finder doesn't find my files in OS 10.8, upgrade from snow Leopard to Mountain Lion

    after i upgraded from snow leopard to mountain lion . when i try too search files on finder . it does not find any of them although all the files are still there .so i need scroll up and down for few minutes to find my file manually . what could be the problem ?? anyone can help me with this .. thanks in advance

    Hmm... didn't help me. But, I'm glad to know that I can "refresh" the search profiles. That may come in handy in the future.
    I'm having similar problems where I can see a file from within an application, but the file doesn't show up in a Finder search. The file I see in the application also isn't visible in that application's folder (where it's supposed to be stored, in this case).
    The file exists, because I'm able to work on it from within the application. However, it can't be found on the computer by any means I have available. I've spoken with the manufacturer of the software and they told me where to look for the file, but it isn't there (as far as I can see). Of course, they suggest the Finder is "broken" and needs to be fixed. I don't think that's the case. I can easily find other files without difficulty.
    Could what I'm looking for be a "hidden" file?

  • Trouble with Safari and keychain after upgrade to Snow Leopard

    I just upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard.  Previously in Safari (with Leopard), when logging in to a website, I entered the first character of my login and, depending on the settings in Keychain, the login/password was autofilled or I was prompted for my Keychain Access password and then it autofilled. This worked great because no one could use my laptop and be able to log in to sensitive websites without my Keychain Access password. And, because I have multiple accounts on some websites, I could choose which login ID to use based on the first character. I don't know if Safari was set to autofill or not, but I suspect not because I never wanted autofill.
    After I upgraded to Snow Leopard, Safari would not connect to Keychain at all. I figured out I had to check Safari's autofill User Names and Passwords box in order for it to recognize Keychain. But now it autofills whenever I land on a website login page, even though the Keychain items are set to require my Keychain password. Further, for those websites that have multiple accounts, Safari is autofilling the one that is first listed in Keychain.
    What do I need to do for Safari to use Keychain Access without immediately autofilling (like it did with Leopard)?

    Yes, thank you. I have done that on most of them and it works well.  My frustration is that the autofill in Safari seems to be the only way to engage Keychain.  When I don't select autofill in Safari, I can't engage Keychain at all (without manually opening it and viewing an individual key).  I'd like to be able to activate Keychain selectively as I did in Leopard. 
    For those sites where I have multiple accounts, I have discovered that if I deny the first pop-up from Keychain, I can then delete the autofilled login and enter the first character of the one I want, and the pop-up appears again. It's just frustrating to have to take those extra steps.
