SOLUTION FOR GMAIL:
Apple mail automatically configures gmail in Snow Leopard and enters your username as [email protected] for the outgoing mail server.
Correcting your username in the OUTGOING mail server (by selecting edit outgoing server list) to be only "username" by removing "@gmail.com" fixes this issue.
Go Daddy accounts are still a problem... working on that now...
No - I'm afraid that didn't work for me. My SMTP settings for GMAIL include only my username/password and the recommended port for outgoing GMAIL SMTP (993) / USE SSL. Whenever I try and send a message, it hangs in the Outbox, and the spinning wheel spins in "Sent". This is only since upgrading to SL. Am about to get on the phone with Apple Care because this is really getting to be a PITA. I've never had a problem using my Gmail SMTP account in Mail before this upgrade.
OK - I seem to have fixed it on my end. Try this:
The default setup in the new Mail.app (4.0) wants to place SMTP for GMAIL on port 993. Change the selection from "Custom Port" to the default - i.e. "25, 465, 587". I know there are posts above that say the preferred port for SMTP is 993, +but see+ http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=78799. The SMPT settings clearly state which ports to use (465 or 587). When I selected the default option check box in the advanced SMTP settings in Mail, Voila! Sent Mail! Hope this helps you get your outgoing mail out.

  • MacBook will not sleep automatically since Snow Leopard install

    Hello. I am having a serious issue with my MacBook since upgrading to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. My MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, 2.4 GHz) will not go to sleep automatically anymore. If I select "Sleep" from the Apple menu it will sleep fine. However, it will not sleep according to my Energy Saver preference pane which says sleep at 1 min each (Display and Computer). Another thing to keep in mind is that my display sleeps perfectly normally. However, the computer itself will not sleep.
    Here are the things that I have tried so far:
    - Reinstall 10.6.2 combo updater
    - Remove Energy Saver preferences and entire System Configuration folder
    - Made sure that no hardware or software is interrupting sleep
    - Reset PRAM and SMC
    I am running Mac OS X 10.6.2 with ALL updates and firmware installed.
    Please help me figure this out as it is a serious issue. Thanks.

  • Epson RX595 will not print since Snow Leopard install

    I cannot get my trusty Epson to print since installing Snow Leopard and latest printer drivers.
    I can scan. Just cannot print.
    I have looked at some troubleshooting support articles. Does anyone have a good link, tip?
    Thanks in advance for any help with this!

    Try deleting the printer, the <hard drive>/Library/Printers/EPSON folder and the /Library/Caches/Epson folder, and then reinstalling the drivers using Software Update. Then add the printer, making sure that you are using the Epson driver, not the Gutenprint driver.

  • Aperture PS CS3/4 Aperture, not working since Snow Leopard install...

    Since installing Snow Leopard today I have been unable to export/edit from Aperture to Photoshop CS3/4 and back again!!!
    I have tried it with both CS3 and CS4 as I have both installed. Aperture corrupts the thumbnail on export to both apps, they then open the file in both versions of PS but when you go to save after editing you get a message saying the file is open and you can't save it!!!
    It seems to me it's an obvious Snow Leopard issue as it worked perfectly before I upgraded but now I am screwed for editing until a fix is sorted, any suggestions???

    I am not having that problem. I can edit with CS4 an image that was previously edited with CS4 and also one that was not previously edited at all.
    Did you upgrade Aperture to 2.1.4 before Snow ?

  • Issues with Bluetooth/Wireless Mighty Mouse since Snow Leopard Install

    Hi,
    I am having issues with my bluetooth wireless mighty mouse. It was fine after initially having installed Snow Leopard. However, in the past week it has become progressively more and more unresponsive. It functions perfectly normal for the first while after startup, then after a short period of time it becomes slow to respond to the mouse movements that move the cursor. Eventually it gets to the point that moving the mouse results in no cursor movement whatsoever. It also becomes unresponsive to squeezing the side buttons. There are no issues with clicking or scrolling with the track ball.
    I have searched the discussion forums to find issues that pertain to "bluetooth" and "wireless mighty mouse" and have tried the following suggested remedies... Repairing my Mouse with my Mac mini. Renaming my mouse. Deleting the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file from Macintosh HD\Library\Preferences and restarting my Mac. Reset PRAM and NVRAM. Also tried to install Bluetooth Firmware update 2.0.1 but I get an indication that the update is not needed on my Mac mini. I have also checked for software updates but there are none...
    I am going to attempt resetting the SMC but am doubtful that this will help...
    Can anyone help... Please... ?
    Thanks,
    Des

    I had read in another forum where someone had an understanding that the bluetooth problem had something to do with Airport/Time Capsule. I had also read about how someone was having an issue with being unable to turn off airport. (I had this same problem.)
    Upon deleting a few airport related plist files (see below url) I was able to turn off/on airport AND my Mouse issue has no longer appeared... everything is working a-ok now.

  • Aperture Upgrade Issues (since Snow Leopard Install)

    I upgraded the OS on my 2007 iMAC7,1 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz to Snow Leopard a couple of months ago. Afterwards, when I tried to start Aperture, I got a message that my version of Aperture (1.5.6) was not supported under the new OS.
    So today, I went to the Apple store and bought an upgrade to Aperture 2. The upgrade version is 2.1.1. I installed this and when I start Aperture, the app appears to start, the "intro" white screen comes up with the version / serial number, etc, and then the Welcome Screen starts up.
    No matter what I choose from the Welcome Screen (Usually I pick Start Using Aperture), the SW appears to be stuck. The welcome screen disappears as expected, and the command bar across the top of the screen appears, but that's it - the normal aperture screen that shows your projects, etc. never comes up. Most of the commands in the sub-menus on the command bar are grayed out.
    To make matters worse, when I try to quit, nothing happens. No message, no nothing, it just sits there. I have to do the Option-Cmd-Esc sequence and kill Aperture.
    I checked for SW update and updated everything that was available (OS and Aperture to 2.1.4), rebooted, etc. However, there was no change in behavior.
    Everything else on this machine works fine, no other issues or even behavior changes in my machine. The only problem is with Aperture.
    To summarize: Aperture 1.5.6 quit working after I installed Snow Leopard. I bought the Aperture upgrade and installed, which allows me to start Aperture but doesn't let me do anything further.
    Has anyone else seen an issue like this? Any suggestions for what may be wrong?
    Thanks.

    You may want to try rebuilding the library or doing a consistency check. Hold command-option when you launch Aperture and choose the relevant options.
    Note that Aperture 2.x will have to upgrade the library from 1.x to run. You should get a dialog box to kick this off (and it does take some time), but it sounds like you haven't even gotten that far.
    You do need to be running Aperture 2.1.4 on Snow Leopard, but from your description it sounds like you're already on that version.

  • Failed Leopard Install , PLEASE HELP!!!!!

    I have a MacBook Intel Core Duo , I have the ram to 2 gigs from and HD to 160 gigs from 80 gigs. I started the install.... I picked full erase & install. I ran the disk consistency check, which returned ok. The install starts 3 to 4 min into the install, I get the error message "Install Failed Mac Os X could not be installed on your computer. The installer could not validate the contents of the 'BaseSystem' Package. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance... click start and try installing again. Multiple attempts later same result. Replaced HD with original started install once again, I ran apple updater , update completed all ok. Started install , again checked disk for consistency.. it returned ok.
    pick upgrade , because this HD is my back up. Once again "INSTALL FAILED" , but with a twist, I can no longer boot into OS X now my MacBook boots to black screen
    with the command prompt LOCAL HOST:/ root #.... this can't be good. My next attempt the files still seem there. Well what should I do now.

    Correcting your username in the OUTGOING mail server (by selecting edit outgoing server list) to be only "username" by removing "@gmail.com" fixes this issue.
    Go Daddy accounts are still a problem... working on that now...
    No - I'm afraid that didn't work for me. My SMTP settings for GMAIL include only my username/password and the recommended port for outgoing GMAIL SMTP (993) / USE SSL. Whenever I try and send a message, it hangs in the Outbox, and the spinning wheel spins in "Sent". This is only since upgrading to SL. Am about to get on the phone with Apple Care because this is really getting to be a PITA. I've never had a problem using my Gmail SMTP account in Mail before this upgrade.
    OK - I seem to have fixed it on my end. Try this:
    The default setup in the new Mail.app (4.0) wants to place SMTP for GMAIL on port 993. Change the selection from "Custom Port" to the default - i.e. "25, 465, 587". I know there are posts above that say the preferred port for SMTP is 993, +but see+ http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=78799. The SMPT settings clearly state which ports to use (465 or 587). When I selected the default option check box in the advanced SMTP settings in Mail, Voila! Sent Mail! Hope this helps you get your outgoing mail out.

  • How do I uninstall snow leopard? please help

    Hey everyone, I am having a lot of troubles with snow leopard and since its not really a BIG difference between leopard, i decided to go back to leopard, so ok.
    I got my 17 inch mac book pro, it came with leopard, and with the snow leopard installation cd, and i installed it, now, my question is, how do i uninstall snow leopard without leaving any trace??
    please help, its really urgent
    I want to go back to leopard

    To do the most in terms of leaving no trace, you will need to do an erase and install. Start from your Leopard DVD by holding down c when starting up. Next, when able, choose your language and stop. Then, using the menus at the top, select Disk Utility; check to see that your volume's partition is GUID; and make it GUID if necessary. Then, erase your drive. Next, quit Disk Utility and continue the install. After the install is complete, insert your Leopard applications disk and install the programs you want. Now, you are done except for restoring you data, apps, and settings using whatever media are available to you.
    As implied, you need to have a plan to get your data and apps back especially. In this regard, it may be less important for you to get your users and settings back.
    If you are not prepared backup-wise, then you can use your Leopard DVD, again by starting up to it, to do an archive and install. Since you want no trace of Snow Leopard, I would not choose the option of preserving user and network settings. After doing an the archive and install, your archives will be in the Previsous Systems folder. [See posts three and five on this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2168159&tstart=25] to get more info on archiving and installing and retrieving things you may want afterward.

  • Should I try to upgrade my MacBook (model identifier: MacBook 5,1) from Leopard 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard? Please help me with the decision.

    Hi guys,
    I have a MacBook5,1, which is not a 'pro'. The installed OS is Leopard 10.5.8.  I would like to have a Snow Leopard. And I am affraid I shall have problems. Please help me to decide whether this upgrade to the old machine is worth doing. Thanks for your support.

    There's not much you can do except add more memory (8 GBs is the limit) and/or replace the hard drive. You can upgrade the OS to Snow Leopard and even to Lion. The former would cost $29.00 and Lion would add another $30.00. Hardware upgrades for memory and/or hard drives would add perhaps another $70 to $200 depending on what you did.
    But the decision is yours to make.

  • Problems Updating Snow Leopard.  PLEASE HELP!!!

    I recently loaded Snow Leopard and have been trying to update it so I can get the App Store and purchase Lion.  Every time I try to update the software it says it will take 80 + hours. Then I get an error message that says, "The update 'Mac OS X update combined' can't be saved. Software update can't connect to the update server.  Make sure you're connected to the internet & then try again."  I know I am connected to the internet b/c I am able to get online.  I am so frustrated!  Please help!!!!!

    Thanks for the reply. According to what I've found, the version of the plug-in shipped with SL was security compromised or something.
    http://www.tuaw.com/2009/09/03/snow-leopard-apple-ships-old-security-compromised -flash-plugin/
    Honestly, I'd go back to the security compromised version if I could just get the flash player working again.

    Take a screenshot or picture of the screen, make sure it is in png (default for a screenshot) or jpeg format. Make sure it is available in a handy place, like on the desktop. Then click the camera icon in the reply message entry window -

  • TC stuck at 99% calculating since Snow Leopard install

    I initiate the backup as I've done in the past and all seems to go well until it gets to 99% of it calculating whatever it is it's looking at. Then it just sticks...for hours upon hours. It doesn't progress into the actual backup.
    I've never had a problem with TC up to this point and was really excited when SL was supposed to increase the backup speed by 80%. At this point a backup period would be nice.

    I had the same problem - only it sat at 99% calculating changes for 30 minutes, then started backing up at about 1KB (yes KB!!!!!) per minute. Something is very wrong.

  • Upgrade from Tiger (g4 ibook) to leopard/ snow leopard? Please help!

    I know a fairly knowledgeable when it comes to the lovely apple mac, but i am getting a little lost in a load of jargon on forums about whether you can update the software on a G4 ibook from Tiger (10.4.11) to something more recent (leopard/snow) which supports iLife '09.
    The ibook G4 is an old laptop and I also have a Macbook which I leave at the office which runs off leopard. Can I t-boot and upgrade my software on my old G4?
    If so, step by step dummy instructions would be soooo fantastic, if anyone would be kind enough to break it down for me
    hope someone can help

    So when you say "verify" what are you referring to?
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    There's also a Verify button there, but may as well Repair, which verifies also.
    Do you have a referral for obtaining new disc at reasonable price for this procedure or what I should expect to pay? Or just hunt?
    If apple still has it, $129, if hunting, make sure it's not a Gray machine specific Disc, which are all Intel only also.
    If Apple, you have to call Apple & likely ask for a Product Specialist to get it, if they still have it!

  • Prints too dark since Snow Leopard was installed in my iMac

    I have an iMac that is about six years old.  It had Tiger and since I got Snow Leopard installed, the prints are not looking right.  They certainly don't match what I see on the screen.  I have an Epson R1900 and I was very pleased with it and my iMac before.  I have Adobe Lightroom 1.4 and just got Lightroom 3.  I have CS 3, but just downloaded the trial version of CS5 extended.  I have tried upgrading the printer with Epson Common Updater for the R1900.  That file is Epson 14284.dmg.  It came out on 6//21/11.  I also tried one that came out 10/28/09, which is 13523.dmg.  In both cases I get a message saying system/library/extensions apple mobile device.kext installed improperly and can't be used.  The version of my printer is 8.61. The OS version is 10.6.8.
    I will call Epson tomorrow.  I tried calling Apple twice now and both techs couldn't help.
    Neil Evans

    I had done exactly that.  I have an Eye-One Display 2 and used it to determine what the brightness was.  I had set it to 116.  It was set at its brightest setting when I got it back from QuadStar, the local Apple repair shop.  The latest prints are closer to what I had with Tiger OS.  I still don't know why I got the Apple Mobile Device messages when I was downloading the two Epson updated drivers and the Apple Software Update.  I'm thinking they were meaningless.  My ITunes works OK.  ??????
    Thanks Hal for your help.

  • I used utilities to source my 10.6 snow leopard install disc to my main hardrive, and now when I turn on my computer the apple with the spinning wheel stays on the screen and stuck like that. How do I fix it Help please. I already tried all the commands

    I used utilities to source my 10.6 snow leopard install disc to my main hardrive, and now when I turn on my computer the apple with the spinning wheel stays on the screen and stuck like that. How do I fix it Help please. I already tried all the commands such as Command R, Holding down the Option key, C and holding down shift at the start up but nothing happens.
    initialy All I was trying to do was downgrade 10.7 to 10.6 .

    You have to consider the possibility the hard drive may be dying.    If your data isn't backed up, try one of the tools below:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1689
    Once you are sure your data is backed up, we can examine other possibilities.  In the meantime call AppleCare for your original installation DVDs.  You may need them.
