Welcome to Apple Discussions
Many users are finding problems with the iWork apps in Snow Leopard due to not having the latest updates installed. For iWork '08 that is Pages 3.0.3 & Numbers 1.0.3. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.0.2 & Numbers 2.0.2. My guess is that yours is updated & your husband's is not. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

  • ITunes will not open in Snow Leopard

    For inexplicable reasons, iTunes will not open. I am using an Intel iMac with a 2Ghz chip and 3 gb of ram. I have tried deleting iTunes and reinstalling, deleting plug-ins, and running Disk Warrior 4.2. Nothing works, and Apple wants me to pay $29 to talk to someone on the phone. Since this is a Snow Leopard issue that seems unfair. Is anyone else running Snow Leopard unable to open iTunes, and if so, how is the condition fixed?

    Try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.

  • EXTERNAL USB Drive will not open with Snow Leopard

    External USB drive will open with SL. The drive icon appears on the desktop. When I click on it, Error message, "The alias USB Drive can't be opened because the original item can't be found." When I click on "Fix Alias", a window pops up and shows the usb drive in a list but does not respond when I click on it. I then tried disk utility and tested the disk and it tested OK. The drive still will not open. This problem started after I installed Snow Leopard. Need Help.

    The same error is produced when I try to mount a smb share.
    I select the "connect to server" (cmd-K). Input the share info "smb://<user>@<server>/<share_path>
    At the auth prompt, I input my credentials.
    The error pops up, same as original poster.

  • AE CS4 Will not open after Snow Leopard Upgrade

    Ok, i posted this earlier but I don't think I was clear enough to get an answer. I recently did a clean install of Snow Leopard and a fresh install of my Production Studio CS4. Upon getting it all installed, I realized that After Effects will NOT open at all. It just bounces on the Dock a few times and then stops. Then after that, when you click on it, it bounces once, then stops. Every other program works great, only after effects is not working. Why is this? Is there something I need to do? I reeinstalled just the AE and downloaded the newest update, still, the same thing. I would appreciate any suggestions to get it running.

    I experienced this when upgrading to Snow Leopard myself.
    After Effects is one of many, many applications which require Rosetta to be installed. In Snow Leopard, Rosetta is an optional install on the disk. So just make sure you install it.
    Now, the thing also is that once Rosetta is installed, the OS still seems to have AE flagged as an app which requires a missing component to launch. This was fixed after a couple of restarts, in my case.

  • Time Machine not opening after Snow Leopard 10.6.3 install

    The install from Leopard 10.5.8 seemed to go well but I'm unable to open Time Machine now...I get this error message:
    The operation can't be completed
    An unexpected error occurred (error code -43)

    Alls lost wrote:
    I upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard on my existing MacBook. I'd never done any work on Time Machine on the old version outside of opening it and am obviously completely ignorant of the entire application.
    I'm still not clear -- had you done any backups while you were on Leopard?
    I wanted to start using it and am receiving that error message when I try to open it so I can't get into it to do any manipulation...etc. Maybe my best bet is to go to an Apple store and get some basic help with it including reloading.
    I'm still not clear on what's going on, but I don't think you need to reload anything.
    If you've never done any backups, then you won't see anything when you click the Time Machine icon in your Dock.
    If you want to start using Time Machine, you'll need an external HD, or perhaps a Time Capsule, for Time Machine to store the backups on. You set that up via +System Preferences > Time Machine.+ Once there are some backups, you should be able to view them via the Time Machine application.
    You might want to review the [Time Machine Tutorial|http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/#timemachinebasics] and perhaps browse [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
    Then post back with any questions.

  • Safari 4.0.3 will not open in Snow Leopard

    I did the Snow Leopard upgrade on Friday, and this morning I tried to open Safari 4.0.3. I can't. I get the following error:
    "You can't use this version of the application Safari with this version of Mac OS X. You have Safari 4.0.3".
    I also cannot download and reinstall it, it says "Safari can't be installed on this disk. This update requires Mac OS X 10.5.8 or newer." Huh, here I thought 10.6 would be considered "newer"...
    I can open earlier versions of Safari (3 and lower) just fine.
    Help?

    Hi,
    I had your same problem and I just solved it a few minutes ago: in my OSX 10.5 Applications menu (so before upgrading) some time ago I moved all my web related apps in a folder called "Internet".
    When this morning I upgraded to 10.6 the installation process put all the new web stuff (Safari, iChat, Mail...) in the root of Applications folder: that's the problem, now you have both versions on your mac, the new in the Applications folder and the old ones in the subdirectory, and when you click on the icon in the dock you are tryin to execute the old app.
    To solve this just move the new apps (those in the Applications menu) in the subfolder (or anywhere you have old versions) and overwrite old apps.
    Hope this works also for you.
    (And hope I was clear enough, sorry for my poor english )

  • IMovie 11 not opening in Snow Leopard

    Hey everyone, I am encountering a problem with iMovie. I have installed it on my Snow Leopard 10.6.8 partition and all other iLife apps are working fine but when I open iMovie, the program appears in the menu bar but no windows open. Also I get no error messages.
    I have tried repairing disk permissions, reinstalling iLife and deleting the imovie preferences plist file, with no success.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Issue was solved by reinstalling snow leopard and trying again.

  • Old address book will not open in Snow Leopard

    After upgrading to SL, attempting to access AB in the dock brings up the message "This version of Address Book will not open in this operating system. You have Address Book version 4.1.2". Querying Apple Support brought suggestions from reinstalling just Address Book to utilizing Time Machine. Solution was incredibly simple.
    When upgrading to SL, the OS upgraded AB...but only in Applications. If you're getting this message, go to Applications and click on AB there. If it opens, just delete AB in the Dock, then transfer the new, updated AB to the dock, and you're all set.

    Somehow you've retained an old version of Addressbook (version 5.0.3).  The current version is 6.1
    Look in the apps folder to see if you have the current version, the dock icon may be pointing to the old version.

  • HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install

    HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install
    Reinstalling etc does not work - does anyone else have the same problem or a clue as to how to fix this?

    Keith,
    I got a C6280 and the scanner does not work anymore. I am for 6 days in contact with HP. The last printer driver install form the apple web site does not open the image of HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.dmg because of an invalid checksum. The skipping of the validation gives and error in the install.

  • OS will not boot after Snow Leopard Upgrade

    I have a MacPro (Intel). I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and everything appeared fine. However, after restarting my computer the OS will not load. A circle with a hash through it replaces the Apple logo and the apple's spinning wheel continues but all drive activity. I have tried to run the install again by forcing the computer to open the dvd drive then booting for the OS DVD but this has not worked. Has anyone experienced this and successfully resolved?

    You have a five year old computer, so a failing hard drive at this point is not so strange. You have a couple of options you can try. Start with this one, but if it does not work you will have to erase the hard drive. I hope you have a backup of all your files.
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. 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 your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • WxPerl not working in snow leopard

    Hello,
    wxPerl seems to be not working in Snow Leopard.
    The command:
    wxPerl -e "use Wx;"
    Gives:
    Can't find 'boot_Wx' symbol in /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/Wx/Wx.bundle
    at -e line 1
    Compilation failed in require at -e line 1.
    BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.
    Is this a known bug ? Is there a work-around ?
    Regards.

    Thanks!
    I did both of what you suggested (and provided very detailed specifics of the wxPerl broken code) and was told:
    1st Case (Feedback): No response to my feedback
    2nd Case (ADC bug report): No response after obtaining an ADC account and filing a bug report
    Next, I wrote a letter to Apple, addressed to the "Macintosh Software Development Manager," providing details of the wxPerl broken code problem, the "Problem Details and System Configuration" error log from one of the many failures while trying to launch the TivoTool 0.7.0 application, remarked on the length of time that this wxPerl code has been broken (broken in 10.5.x & 10.6.x software releases) and detailing how this is disabling the TivoTool application and any other user that is dependent on wxPerl functioning. I asked that a trouble report be opened, the problem resolved, and the fix be made part of a software update. Additionally, I requested an estimated date for this resolution to be included in a software update.
    I also sent a copy of this letter and enclosures, along with a cover letter, respectively addressed to Mr. Steve Jobs, asking that he provide the proper resources to clear this long time defective code.
    Within a couple of weeks (on March 5, 2010) I received a telephone call from an Apple Executive Contact (named "Nate"), due to the letter addressed to Mr. Jobs. After gathering details on the broken wxPerl code, he promised to contact the software development folks and get back to me with his findings. Within a week of this initial contact, he again telephoned (on March 9, 2010) to say that he had contacted the software development folks, provided the information from my broken wxPerl report, that a trouble ticket was opened on the wxPerl broken code problem, and that the wxPerl broken code problem appeared to be a "low runner," e.g. not many users had reported the wxPerl broken code. Additionally, since the broken code was a "low runner," there was no target date to fix the wxPerl broken functionality.
    He suggested, until the wxPerl broken functionality was resolved, that I might want to keep a 10.4.x System hard drive available, so that when I needed the wxPerl functionality, I could boot my Mac under 10.4.x, perform my wxPerl work (e.g. use TivoTool), and then re-boot again later, under 10.6.x to use the TivoTool obtained files.
    He also suggested that I make sure that the Software Update System Preference be enabled to automatically check for updates ("Scheduled Check" tab). He added that I shouldn't rule out that the wxPerl broken code functionality might one day be resolved through a Software Update.
    I was given a case number, for future reference and to allow me to check the status of my wxPerl broken functionality trouble report.
    As my dad used to say, "That's all she wrote."
    So, because this is a "low runner" (e.g. not many people have noticed and reported the broken wxPerl code), I'd be surprised (but very delighted) to see a wxPerl fix delivered by Apple in the near future. After all, wxPerl has been broken since leaving Mac OS 10.4.x (wxPerl broken in 10.5.x and 10.6.x software releases).
    I last spoke to Nate regarding this issue on Mach 9, 2010.
    I have not included Nate's telephone number out of a courtesy to Nate, as he is not a technical person, only a contact that handles issues which have been escalated to Apple executives.
    The Apple Case Number assigned was: 153683921
    Regards to all involved and all effected.
    Thanks -

  • Logic Express won't open in Snow Leopard

    I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. Now, when I try to open Logic Express 7, the program immediately quits, with the error message below. I uninstalled/reinstalled and the problem still happens. I have also checked for software updates and no luck.
    I already searched these forums. While it seems there are some other problems like this out there, I did not see a helpful answer.

  • I have a MacBook Pro 15" and my warranty just ran out! I partitioned my harddrive into two partitions, one with Snow Leopard and the other with microsoft.This morning I turned on my Macbook Pro and it will not boot into Snow Leopard.

    Good Morning,
    I have a MacBook Pro 15" and my warranty just ran out! I partitioned my harddrive into two partitions, one with Snow Leopard and the other with microsoft.This morning I turned on my Macbook Pro and it will not boot into Snow Leopard. I shut it off took out the battery, reinstalled the battery. Then I put in the Snow Leopard CD and booted up to disk utility and The Snow Leopard partion would not show up?? I do see the microsoft partion.
    I also rebooted holding down the shift key and still no Snow Leopard
    Could you please tell me what I can do, what keys do I press on restart any advice to get Snow leopard back.
    thank you.

    Have you restarted holding down the Opt key?  That procedure should give you a gray screen with all of the partitions that exist.  Then select the SL partition for boot.  Also go to System Preferences and Startup Disk, unlock the lock and select the SL partition as the default boot partition, then relock.

  • My iMac will not boot through Snow Leopard but will boot through Windows OS

    My 2010 iMac will not boot in Snow Leopard, only Windows. Have tried reinstalling Snow leopard a few times and works only for a couple of minutes before freezing and doesnt reboot. Windows works perfect. Snow leopard just doesnt want to boot up past the Apple Logo. It was working fine one day and the next day it froze up and was able to reboot back into Snow Leopard but kept freezing. Now it doesnt load at all into Mac OS.

    Possible scenarios:
    1: The 10.6.3 SL retail disk is bad, it happens.
    2: Your not using the 10.6.3 SL retail disk but one from another machine which doesn't have the drivers for that machine.
    3: Your optical drive is funky or some other hardware issues.
    4: Your trying to install 10.6 onto a PowerPC based Mac, no can do.
    5: Your not using a wired keyboard for boot key commands, have some other hardware conflicts.
    Possible solutions.
    1: Copy the SL 10.6.3 disk using Disk Utility to another DVD, the error checking may resolve the original disk's issue.
    http://www.brokenhomeboy.co.uk/pierow/blog/2011/10/make-a-bootable-backup-snow-l eopard-install-disc/
    2: Make a SL bootable USB
    http://www.maciverse.com/install-os-x-snow-leopard-from-usb-flash-drive.html
    3: Call Apple for a new 10.6.3 disk (and make copies for backup before Apple discontinues selling it)
    If your upgrading to 10.6 to get to 10.6.8 to upgrade to 10.7, be warned of this:
    1: Your 10.5 software will not work in 10.7, no more Rosetta or PPC based code.
    2: Your hardware will not qualify if it's a 32 bit Intel Core Duo, also you may experience slowdowns in performance over 10.6 (10.6 is the fastest OS X version for Intel Macs) in older Intel hardware (I suggest Early 2011 Mac's and later only for Lion)
    3: Mountain Lion 10.8 is reportingly coming out this summer and will not run on a lot of older Intel based Mac's because of heftier graphics requirements.
    4: 10.6 has the widest range of current avaialble software and drivers for third party hardware.
    My advice, stick with 10.6.8 and stay there, buy a new Mountain Lion machine after this summer. Skip Lion completely.

  • HT1689 What do you do if your computer is not upgradeable to snow leopard using Iphone 5

    What do you do if your computer is not upgradeable to snow leopard using Iphone 5,
    just purchased my new iphone 5 64gb- but does me no good if I cant back up pictures or add my music frm my computer even using icloud. How can I do the things I was able to do with the Iphone 4 now that the 5 will not be recognized at all by my Mac without shelling out thousands of dollar to buy an intel runnung computer just because the Apple software department cannot plug in backwards compatibility to new products such as the iP 5! My computer runs perfectly what am I going to do with two computers if I were to buya new one.
    any one having the same stupid issue here or am I the only one frustrated with apple making new products and making people have to purchase, upgrade, pay for icloud storage when their home computers are completely capable of doing that which is the reason they bought them in the first place.

    So just called apple for the second time about this issue.  First time the tech i got on the phone i think was clue less about the problem. She recommended i buy a cd to upgrade my system and that would fix the problem and my os would be functional with iP5 , iTunes etc...
    So i gave her my computer serial and required info so she could look up my system and make sure  it would work.  I was sold a cd convinced it would work after all apple care techs should know what they are doing right!? 
    Got the cd in the mail pop it in and nothing, error window saying need intel processor to install this cd contents ***! Yea thats what  said today  after the second call to apple.  I did get another hint of hope from the tech i got on the phone today tho.  He really seemed to know his stuff.., so now i fond out apple can replace your processor on certain model computers FOR FREE just pay the parts and you are ready togo with snow leopard and " anything apple throws at your computer" . Going to try this also and will post results soon for all you that may have some hope left...
