No 802.11n on early Intel iMac under Snow Leopard

Hello,
After installing Snow Leopard on my white Intel iMac (first Intel iMac model) I have lost 802.11n functionality. I had to patch the iMac under Leopard with the AirPort Extreme 802.11n Enabler to get 802.11n working (http://store.apple.com/uk/product/D4141ZM/A). Snow Leopard appears to of changed the Airport Extreme settings, and under system profiler it just shows: ‘Supported PHY Modes as 802.11 a/b/g’
I can no longer use the 802.11n enabler under Snow Leopard as it comes up with an error message "You cannot install AirPort Extreme 802.11n Enabler on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update." - this is due to an Airport Extreme 2007-002 upgrade being required (http://support.apple.com/downloads/AirPortExtreme_Update_2007002), which also won't install under Snow Leopard.
Help! Is this a known issue and will Apple be releasing a Snow Leopard compatible 802.11n enabler? OR, is there a work around/fix under Snow Leopard.
Essentially, accessing my home server for work is a nightmare as 802.11g is just not fast enough for the media files I work with.
All help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Graham Johnson.

I am a bit confused as to which iMac you are trying to use with 802.11n.
You say that you have the first white iMac that was Intel. But the first three white Intel iMacs do not have 802.11n capabilities; neither the Early '06 Core Duo, the Mid '06 Core Duo, nor the Late '06 Core 2 Duo CD have AirPort Extreme cards capable of 802.11n. But you profile is showing a 2.16 GHz iMac C2D which is Late '06 and does have the AirPort Extreme card with 802.11n capabilities.
Is that the Mac that now appears to have lost this capability?
What does Apple say? Did you buy Apple Care? Is it still in its last weeks of warranty?

I have tried resetting PRAM and all other items listed in the Apple support site. This happened after an update to iTunes was added. Also this is happening to other people. Please help.

Microsoft Office 2004 (Word) unable to save files
I have been running Office 2004 on my Intel iMac with Snow Leopard for some time and all of a sudden I cannot save a document. Word just stopped responding and I have to force quit. I can open Word and create a new document but I cannot save it. I reinstalled Word but that didn’t help. Then went to the Internet and found at least one other Mac user having the same problem which it suggests is caused by a recent Mac Security Update:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2004-macword/word-2004-wil l-not-open-or-save-documents/b04eb870-9b0d-4f3b-bb47-b122301e36f6
So I check for a new Mac Security Update and sure enough there was one. I downloaded it and now Word seems to be working, as it should. I can both open and save files. The only problem remaining is that when I open Word I get the following error message “An unexpected error occurred while trying to load the Microsoft Framework library”. I contacted Apple but they were unable to help.
How can I get rid of this error message?

Look, I realize you might have to get your machine working, so this is how you revert back.
Restore proceedure to pre-Security Update 2012-001 v 1.0 & v 1.1
#1 Backup your personal data off the machine.
Backup files off the computer (not to TimeMachine). If you don't have a external drive, get one and connect to the USB/Firewire port and simply drag and drop copy your User folder to the external drive, it will copy all your files. It's best to have two backups of your data off the machine when trying to restore.
Disconnect all drives now to prevent any mistakes from occuring.
#2 Reinstall OS X 10.6 from disk
Get out your 10.6 install disk and make sure it's clean and polished (very soft cloth and a bit of rubbing alcohol, no scratches) If your disk is borked, you'll have to order a new one from Apple with your serial number.
Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk (wired keyboard, internal optical drive), use Disk Utility First Aid to >Repair Disk of your internal drive (do not format or erase!!), Quit DU and simply re-install 10.6.
Note: Simply reinstalling 10.6 version from disk (without erasing the drive) only replaces 10.6.8 with 10.6.x and bundled Apple programs, won't touch your files (backup anyway) or most programs, unless they installed a kext file into OS X itself. (only a few on average do this)
#3 Update to 10.6.8 without Security Update 2012-001 v1.0 or v1.1
Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8 via Software Update, but EXCLUDE THE Security Update 2012-001 by checkinig the details and unchecking the blue check box.
#4 Reinstall any non-working third party programs
When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that require kext files installed into OS X, you'll know, they won't work when you launch them or hang for some reason as they are missing the part they installed into OS X.
If for some freakish reason you get gray screen at any time when booting (possible it might occur when you reinstall older programs), hold the shift key down while booting (Safe Mode, disables kext files) and update your installed third party software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.

That's it really.

Freezing/crash of iMac under Snow Leopard when backup with Time Machine

Hi!
The backup on my external hard drive with Time Machine cannot be completed.
After few ten Go out of 360Go the backup stops suddenly and the computer freezes/crashes.
I have got an iMac Intel Core 2 Duo with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 − 64 bit. The external hard drive is a LaCie 500Go.
Also, backups for another Apple computer can be done with this LaCie external drive. So, it is not the cause of the freezing/crash of the iMac.
I tried to solve this problem applying the following steps:
1- I started with the installation disk.
2- I repaired the internal iMac drive and the permissions with the Disk Utilities soft on the installation disk. All was OK.
3- The LaCie drive was erased, formatted again with one GUID partition (500Go) and the disk verified. All was OK.
4- I re-install the OS with the installation disk -> 10.6 Snow Leopard
5- Updates to 10.6.8, etc… security update 2012-004 and the 13th Java update to v1.6.
6- I deleted in the folder /Library/Preferences the file com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
7- I deleted the file com.apple.finder.plist in the administrator account Preferences folder.
8- The iMac was shutdowned as well as the external LaCie drive.
9- I restarted and changed the name of the external LaCie drive.
10- I choose the LaCie backup drive with Preferences System > Time Machine with right exclusions.
Unfortunately, the problem remained and the backup was again unsuccessful followed by another freezing/crash of the iMac.
So how to solve this problem?
Here is what I obtained from the system.log with the Console utility (crash/freezing at: 10:48):

Pre-intel iMac installing Snow Leopard?

Have been told by Apple that the Serial Number for my pre-Intel iMac enables me to install Snow Leopard (currently running 10.4.11). Is this straightforward or should everything be backed up before the installation? I had previously been led to believe that it wasn't possible to instal SL on this Mac. Confused and needing some clarity. Thanks.

Snow Leopard requires an Intel Processor. Here are the specs:
General requirements
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Either they were wrong or your system does have an intel processor. You should be able to determine that with "about this Mac".

Migration of mail from PPC G5 iMac w/ Tiger to Intel iMac w/ Snow Leopard

The migration was largely successful in that all my mailboxes from the old computer have appeared on the new one. The only thing I cannot do on the new iMac is delete some of the messages that have just arrived on the new iMac. They had NOT previously been downloaded to the old computer. The error message is this: the destination mailbox "(null)" does not allow messages to be moved to it.
I already have the mailbox behaviours set to delete messages from the server once I have downloaded them. I have also tried moving the mail.plist to the desktop, quitting Mail and then restarting it, both to no avail. Any help would be most welcome. Thank you.

I can move messages between mailboxes in On My Mac, and I have made an important, and helpful discovery. I have 4 active POP mail accounts, each obviously with its own e-mail address. In Snow Leopard, but not in Tiger, this seems to result in having 4 different sub Trash mailboxes, each of them corresponding to one of the 4 active mail accounts. By using the Move to command, as you suggested, I am able to "delete" an e-mail, PROVIDING I specify which of the 4 different Sub Trash mailboxes I wish to move it to. This was not necessary in Tiger as the Trash mailbox was a single integrated Trash mailbox and not compartmentalized so as to correspond to the 4 active mail accounts.
So I do now have a "work-around" that works, but having to select the Move to command on a drop-down menu and then select which of the 4 Trash mailboxes to delete the messages to is an incredibly long way round of deleting e-mail. Surely there must be a simpler way of deleting e-mail in Snow Leopard if one has more than one active mail account. Any more suggestions would be very welcome although I am about to go travelling for 10 days and won't have much access to the internet during that time.

Rosetta vs Photoshop v.7 Intel iMac running Snow Leopard.

Dear Photoshoppers,
I have Adobe Design Collection (before it became CS this and that...)
eg Photoshop 7
Illustrator 10
InDesign 2
Acrobat 5.
I've installed Illustrator 10. Fine. It recognised the lack of Classic environment and installed. It runs ok.
But Photoshop 7. It installed as per above. But when it attempts to load it hangs with the error, "An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a program error. Photoshop will now exit."
I have an iMac dual core Intel 3.O with 4 gigs of ram. SnowLeopard 10.6.8
Advice would be appreciated.

Rosetta emulation worked very good for the transition from the Power PC chip to Intel chips that Apple moved to in 2006.
68K emulation also worked for the transition from the Motorola 6800 family series of chips to the Power PC chip..
Macintosh has had 3 different processor chip architectures during its history. (Motorola 6800 series, Power PC series and Intel)
The reason why the transition from different chips went very well is because Apple tested & refined the hell out of the emulations before making any move.
Apple had every version of OS X since its introduction running on an Intel chip in their labs for years before Apple announced the move to Intel in 2005.
In a similar vein, think of the hoops Microsoft has had to jump through to make sure that Windows 7 supports old software.
What new things could have been done with Windows 7 if it hadn't been necessary to support software written to work on WIndows XP - a 10 year old operating system?
Rather than constrain the possibilities for newer OS X versions by trying to maintain compatibility with all older hardware & software, Apple has chosen to suspend support for older products as time goes by. When Apple ditched the floppy drive there was an industry uproar, but people very quickly adjusted. Newer technologies like the CD and Zip disks (100MB on a single disk, OMG) had already put the nail in the coffin for the floppy disk. So like the emulations that it supported for years, Apple decided that after a good long while to drop support and have people move forward if they wanted all the new goodies.
Photoshop 7 was released in March 2002 - almost exactly 10 years ago.
Once Apple makes a move they don't look back. People can still run their old software on their older,increasingly slower hardware if they want.
Whether we are users of Mac or Windows, we have to move ahead and stop worrying about things that were created for another age - 10 years ago,

IS THE SITUATION HOPELESS
I used Target mode to transfer files to a new i7 iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 from an older Dual core Intel machine (EMC 2105) also on 10.6.8. but originally Tiger 10.4. The operation was successful and I ejected the disk icon from the new machine and powered down the old machine. When this was restarted the next day there was a grey screen with flashing Mac symbol alternating with a 'no entry' sign and occasionally a question mark.Keyboard and mouse were unusable so k inserted the original instal disc (No.1 for 10.4. with installer 1.0.4) which came with the machine in 2006 in an attempt to boot from this. The ensuing window said this was not possible and now it cannot be ejected.I have tried everything ! It offers Disk Utility and other options like Terminal but that doesn't work either.I 'repaired disk' and that was pronounced o.k. None of the various keystrokes at start up will work, and the computer will only offer the installer disc continually.The only option would seem to be is to erase the hard drive completely from the disc in the machine.I don't want to do this as there is still material which I need to recover. I think the drive has in some way been corrupted by using it in target mode, and I don't know if there are any other options to try.
Please tell me how to get this disc to eject !

Have you seen this type of problem before? I think it could be a serious issue for anyone in a similar position.
No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
• I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?

More than 4GB of RAM in iMac 8,1 under Snow Leopard

Greetings,
I have an iMac 8.1, running under Snow Leopard in 64bits mode (i.e. kernel is in 64 bits). I am wondering if I can install - and use - more than 4GB of RAM now that my iMac is booting in 64bits mode?
Thank you for your help!

"32 bits mode" does not limit Mac OS X to 4GB or 6GB. Mac Pros could go up to 32GB of RAM, even when they were first introduced with Tiger (10.4) as the OS.
The current iMacs use the 32-bit kernel by default (to maintain compatibility with third-party extensions that have not been upgraded yet). However, it is fully capable of running 64-bit processes (system processes and applications) and using as much RAM as the Mac in question is capable of using, whether that is 4GB, 6GB, 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB.
So to summarize, the RAM limit is based on the hardware, not the software. This isn't like Windows, where 32-bit Windows has a usable RAM limit of somewhere between 3 and 4GB.

I have a 2006 iMac w/Snow Leopard. When it was recently installed I no longer have Microsoft Office;mac, or iPhoto on my computer. Do I need to buy these applications to install them?

Where do I purchase these applications for my iMac?

Did you purchase this computer or did you just do a re-install or update to Snow Leopard?
Did you own Office? What version of Microsoft Office did you have installed. You can still run Office 2004 on Snow Leopard but Office 2004 will not work under Lion and higher. Once I know what version you are interested in, I can offer best options for you. Do you want email in Office or are you planning on using Apple Mail?
iPhoto:
Option 1) Do you have the original computer's install disks? If yes you can install iLife that includes iPhoto. Once you have installed iLife I would suggest running the Software Update utility until no more updates are available (do this before actually using the software).
Option 2) Open Mac App Store.
Hold Option key and click on “Purchases”.
Option-click on “IPhoto” from the purchased app list.
“Installed’ should now say “Install” allowing you to re-download iPhoto, or try Option-click again on the “Install” button to start re-downloading iPhoto.
Note:
Please note however, that the current version of iPhoto 11 (version 9.4.3) available at through the App Store must run on OS 10.7.5 or later. Earlier versions of iPhoto 11 (version 9.2.1 or earlier) could run on Snow Leopard OS 10.6.8.
You may want to call Apple's Customer Care and see if you can still get a version of iPhoto 11 that will run with Snow Leopard.

Will iMac running Snow Leopard support an iPad2 running io8?

I have been using a USB cable to sync my wife's iPhone5 and my iPad2 with my iMac running Snow Leopard. (It's a 1st gen Intel iMac and I can't go any farther with OSX versions.) Until this week, I have never had a problem syncing our devices with the iMac. However, when I went to hook up the iPad, it forced me to download a software update for ios7. Looked like everything was fine, though slow in downloading, when I got received an error message (unknown error) that crashed the iPad.
MY only option at that point was to perform a Restore and Update from the backup on my iMac, which I did. However, the update forced ios8 onto my iPad and wiped out all downloaded photos, music, apps and books. When I go to sync the iPad, all of the settings on iTunes look correct, but the sync button is greyed out and I am not able to download any of the aforementioned files from the iMac to my iPad.
Help! Is there something I can do to fix this without having to schlep into an Apple Store, where I will be made to feel technologically stupid and inferior by a Genius? Or is the problem that my iMac running Snow Leopard can no longer support the devices running iOs8?

You could've backed up your iPad prior to the "forced" upgrade which, by the way, you could have cancelled. iTunes doesn't upgrade your iPad, automatically, on its own. You had to click the Upgrade button to initiate the upgrade. You didn't have to do anything with that button. You can just leave it be.
iOS 8 is garbage on iPad 2 and 3 and even though iTunes keeps giving me the Update button option, I continually choose to ignore it.
Ignoring the Upgrade/Update button doesn't affect the normal iTunes/iDevice syncing/backing up operations.
You could've just left that button alone.
When was the last time you backed up your iPad?
While there is no way way to revert to a previous iOS version once you upgrade your iDevices iOS, iTunes saves multiple backups of your iDevice and if you backed up your iPad previously to this latest activity, you should be able to restore your iPad from an older backup that should appear by date when you plug your iDevice into your Mac, was for iTunes to launch and sync your iPad, then cancel the backup in progress and use the Restore function in iTunes to restore your iDevice from another previous backup version date.
If your current version of iTunes doesn't recognize your iPad2 under iOS 8, you need to check the iTunes update feature, in iTunes or in OS X Software Update feature in OS X Preferences panel to see if there is a iTunes update available for OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.

Hardware Solution to Draw Chinese Characters under Snow Leopard

Under Snow Leopard one is able to draw Chinese characters on multi-gesture laptop touchpads and the system will suggest the correct character, which you can then select and use in e-mail, documents, etc. This feature is also implement on iPhone/iTouch under OS 3.
On Friday I'll install OS 10.6 on my Intel iMac. Is there a third party USB touchpad (or other hardware solution) that would allow me to access this Chinese character drawing feature on the iMac?

I doubt there is anything like what you are looking for, unless perhaps the iPhone or iPod Touch can be used as an input device for a desktop. But I'd ask on the Chinese-mac list as well:

Can't print from Intel Mac w/Snow Leopard to HP 2600. Upgraded from OS 10.4 and printer showed on printer list along with an Epson scanner. but continually shows printer as offline. I finally deleted the HP Color Laserjet 2600n from the printer list. When I attempted to re-install it, it doesn't find the printer at all. I haven't attempted to use the scanner. I also went to HP and downloaded the driver, no luck. I've restarted the computer multiple times, tried it with the printer on, and printer off, as well as pulled the usb cable in and out both ends. No error message on the printer display and it gpes through normal warmup until it shows the green light. I run software update and it shows no updates needed. Help!

When you press print the first window is pretty basic.
When you select print on that the next window should have an advanced option.
Click that and see if any of the options in the 3rd dropdown box allow you to specify the 'paper tray'.
AC "
In this new windaow, click "advanced", go to "paper type/quality" and choose " best" and a photo paper. Then you will be able to choose a paper source (photo tray).
Once you have these settings, under presets do "save as", and you can choose the preset instead of going to advanced.
If you have the latest software and drivers downloaded from HP, this will work.

Canon iP6700D Tray Choices Disappear Under Snow Leopard

I have a Canon iP6700D. In 10.5 and earlier, one could select between the automatic sheet feeder and the cassette through selections under "Quality and Media". Those options seem to have disappeared under 10.6.1 using the September 11th Canon printer driver. Nosing about in Google, others seem to have the same problem with this and other printers under Snow Leopard. I've tried uninstalling the printer and re-installing but it hasn't helped.
Settings made under 10.5 and saved still appear in Snow Leopard, and are still able to access the cassette and the sheet feeder, but I can't find a place to CHANGE that for saved or for new settings.
Can anyone tell me where to find this setting, or where I might find a patch that will fix the problem?

The v10.26 driver for the iP6700D still has the Paper Source menu under Q&M on 10.6. I can only think that something is conflicting with your installation of the driver. I would trash the contents of the BJPrinter folder, located in HD > Library > Printers > Canon. Then install the v10.26 driver again and see if the menus are present.
There were two versions of printer drivers available for 10.5, v5.8.3 and v10.xx. If you had the version 5 installed and had presets based on this driver, then they will not work correctly with the v10 driver on 10.6. You should Delete these presets and create new ones once you get the Q&M menu appearing on your install.
Final note. You should be posting this question on the Snow Leopard forum. This forum is for Leopard printing and scanning issues.
