On my imac (10.6.8 Snow Leopard) Intego detected a corrupted file which it could not repair. How do I repair it?
Last week I ran my Intego virus barrier scan. It detected a corruted file. If Intego can't repair the corrupted file, what options do I have to repair it?

What is the supposedly "corrupted" file?
This KB article describes what a corrupted file is, and explains what steps you can take if the corrupted file cannot be repaired. https://support.intego.com/entries/21219398-what-is-a-corrupted-file
Basically you want to delete it and if possible replace it with an earlier saved version.

I have a MacBook pro version 10.6.7 with snow leopard. After an scheduled software upgrade I could not open Quicken (It said it could not open the files). Now I can only open it if I have my external drive on. Can you help?
All the information that I had input on Quicken is gone. I have to have the external hard drive that I use to back up to be able to use quicken now. It is as if it was erased from the laptop hardriveTry repairing permissions. My favorite way is with a utility called AppleJack. Info and download here. It's free. It only works when you boot in Single User Mode. When restarting or booting, hold down the Command key and S keys.
You will get a very different startup screen that looks like the Terminal app has hijacked the screen. Just let the lines of text scroll by. When that happens you will get a text entry prompt. Type in "AppleJack" without the quotation marks.
A DOS looking menu will appear. Choose 1 or d to run Disk Repair. If you get a message that Disk Repair found and corrected errors, run it again. Repeat until you get the "your disk appears to be ok" message. This rarely happens with my experience, though. This does the same thing as as booting from an external drive and running Disk Utility's repair. Only, no external drive is required!
Next, choose 2 or p to repair disk permissions. This will take a little while. AppleJack warns that it will take up to an half hour to run repair permissions. It'n never taken more than about ten minutes for my MacBook Pro.
As permissions are repaired, you will see each repair scroll on the screen. When done, the menu returns, choose q to quit. Then at the prompt, enter "exit" without the quotes. Your MacBook Pro should restart into Mac OS normally after this.
Hope this helps. -
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 advanceGo 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. -
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. -
Just received a new Imac running OS10.8 Mountain Lion. I have MS Office 2004 that ran ok on OS 10.6 Snow Leopard. I'm told that this software will not work on the new OS. Are there any work arounds?

... and have only used Word and hate to try to learn something new if not necessary.
The dirty little secret that they are keeping from you, is YES, there is a way to continue to use Microsoft Office's Word 2004 in Mountain Lion!
It is to install Snow Leopard Server into Parallels 8 on your new Mac and then install and run Word 2004 there:
[click on images to enlarge]
Apple is now selling Snow Leopard Server for $19.99 + sales tax & shipping costs at 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753) - Apple Part Number: MC588Z/A (telephone orders only). Parallels 8 retails for $79 but can be found for less searching for discounts on the internet.
Personally I hate the way Microsoft has changed Word 2008 and Word 2011, because I was 100% comfortable with how Word 2004 was setup and utilized. There is a learning curve to both of these upgrades and a more steeper one to the "free" alternatives that were suggested to you.
In a perfect world, you should upgrade to Office 2011; I did (actually it was a gift, but the price was not an object for me anyway). But the world is not perfect...
So, if, like me, there are times that you are most comfortable operating in the Word 2004 environment, my suggestion offers you a easy, stable, relatively inexpensive means to continue to do so in Mountain Lion.
GOOD LUCK! -
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 -
Can't sync iPhone and iMac since upgrading to Snow Leopard. Using iPhone for internet access. Help??
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?
Open activity monitor and see what is taking the processor capacity.

Have an Intel 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Imac, just updated to Snow Leopard 10.6.3. Can it be updated to Snow Leopard 10.6.8?
If you have 10.6.3 installed then you meet the requirements for 10.6.8. It is a free update via Software Update.
Seeing that you have a Mid-2007 iMac, if your computer has at least 2 GB of RAM (4 GB recommended) you can install Mountain Lion. -
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:

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. -

Hello! How can I restore an iMac 10.6.5 Snow leopard to factory settings?
Hi! How can I restore a iMac 10.6.5 Snow leopard to factory settings?
You can reset the password via Single User Mode or you can completely remove the dslocal database and start over.
If you want to delete the DB and start over (no user data will be deleted), follow these steps:
1: Boot the machine into Single User Mode (Hold down Command and S keys on boot up)
2: When you get to the command prompt, mount the file system as writable with this command:
mount -uw /
3: Deleting the old Default node...
rm -R /var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default
4: Copying Default node template...
cp -R /System/Library/DirectoryServices/DefaultLocalDB/Default /var/db/dslocal/nodes/
5: Removing Shadow Hash files... (depends on history of machine)
rm -R /var/db/shadow/hash/
6: Removing .AppleSetupDone...
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
7: Reboot the machine with the reboot command
That will present you with the setup assistance and no users on the machine. Create a new account on the machine.

How to install Snow Leopard on a 2009 Mac Pro which has Mountain Lion?
The 2009 Mac Pro that I just bought has Mountain Lion. For many reasons, I do not want to have Mountain Lion on my machine. I have been using Snow Leopard for years and I like it fine. I have my Snow Leopard install DVDs. I cannot get this machine to accept Snow Leopard, which must be just another undesirable aspect of Mountain Lion, bacause this machine must have shipped with some variant of Leopard/ Snow Leopard to begin with. Here's what happens when I put the Snow Leopard Install DVD in the Superdrive:
1) First, I held down the "C" key at startup to start from a disc. It showed me a window which said "Mac OS X can't be installed on this computer".
2) Then I started it with Mountain Lion and then put in the Snow Leopard DVD. Got a window which said "The disc you inserted was not readable by this computer". It also had 3 buttons to choose from: "Initialize", "Ignore" and "Eject". So I clicked on "Initialize" and Disc Utility opened on the First Aid page. I assume I'm supposed to erase the startup disc, but I thought maybe I should ask the experts here before I do that.
This machine has two 2TB HDDs that the previous owner has configured as a level 1 RAID. If I am to erase the startup disc do I erase both drives of the RAID set? If I'm not supposed to erase the startup drive, what do I need to do to get back to Snow Leopard? Thanks and thanks again!The built-in checks will keep you from clobbering 10.8 Mountain Lion by Installing Snow Leopard over it (literally, 10.6 Snow Leopard Installer will see a later version in place, and knows it cannot install over a later version). So it says "Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer..." and leaves off "... "in its current state."
You will need to Install on a 10.6 Snow Leopard-erased drive. Mac OS X Erase function proceeds to install a Partition scheme and a default Volume after erasing, because a truly blank drive is useless for most Users.
When you boot to the Installer DVD, you are running off the DVD, so all Hard Drives are available to be erased if that is your choice. All data on them will be discarded. If you erase one drive in a mirrored RAID set, normally the other drive would survive and the set would be degraded. But a new version of RAID was introduced right AFTER 10.6, and it is likely that 10.6 cannot read that RAID at all under any circumstances. -

I recently upgraded to Mavericks from Snow Leopard. Does Snow Leopard still exist on my Mac? If so, is it possible to restart under Snow Leopard in order to run PowerPC apps? If not, is there an OS available in 64 bit that supports PowerPC apps? Mav ***.
The only reason I upgraded to Mavericks was because my Snow Leopard OS was 32 bit, which I was told would support only 4GB of RAM.
That wasn't quite right. You can put in as much RAM as your Mac's hardware supports. The division is in the apps themselves. A 32 bit app can't use more than 4 GB or RAM. A 64 bit app can use much more.
For example, as a 32 bit only version, Photoshop CS3 can't use more 4GB of RAM, no matter how much you actually have installed. CS4 or later can use all the RAM you want to throw at it.
