Playing movie under Snow Leopard

When I play a movie (.mov) under Snow Leopard from inside iPhoto, it uses Quicktime 7. When I export the same movie from iPhoto and play it in the Finder it uses Quicktime X. As there any way I can make it use Quicktime X from inside iPhoto?

OK, thanks, although not the answer I hoped for. Not a big issue, I just prefer Quicktime X. Probably I will update when iLife 10 (or 11?) comes out.

Backing up an encrypted drive with Time Machine under Snow Leopard

In a nutshell, my question is “Can I back up an encrypted drive using Time Machine under Snow Leopard, and if so, how do I access its data from a previous day?”
I have a 1Tb USB drive connected to my MacBook, which runs Snow Leopard. The drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). This drive is included in the drives that Time Machine backs up. I used Disk Utility to create an encrypted drive on the USB drive (998Gb), also formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). The encrypted drive is not on TimeMachine’s list of excluded files/drives.
When I go into Time Machine, I can see the USB drive and the encrypted drive in the side bar. I can access the files on the encrypted drive as long as I’m looking at how it stands now. But if I move backward in time, the encrypted drive is grayed out and inaccessible. If I click on the USB drive, I get a window that tells me it is 75.9Gb in size, and nothing else is available to me.
When I open the back-up drive in Finder and navigate to Backups.backupdb > macbook name > some date and time, I see my MacBook’s hard drive and the USB drive. The encrypted drive is not shown. When I click on the USB drive, I see an entry for drivename.sparsebundle. When I click on that I’m prompted for the password for the encrypted drive. When I enter it, I get a warning telling me that the disk image could not be opened and that the encrypted drive has no mountable file systems.
Is my encrypted drive really be backed-up and if so, how do I access the backed-up data?

Having received a bunch of views but no replies over the last 5 days, I decided to venture into my local Apple store and ask this same question. The response I got from the geniuses was that you can't get a reliable back-up of an encrypted drive using Time Machine under Snow Leopard. So, my only alternative is to copy the encrypted drive's contents elsewhere, unencrypt the drive, and then copy the contents back. This is what I expected, but not what I wanted to hear.

I have a big problem with Lion and PGP. After upgrading from snow leopard to lion I cannot access my PGP drive which was generated under snow leopard. PGP does not start but gives a notion that lion cannot work with my PGP version. Solution?

After upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion I cannot access a PGP drive which was generated under snow leopard. PGP does not start. When I try to start I just receive a message that Lion cannot work with PGP. How can I now access important and confifential informatio which I have stored in PGP (snow leopard). Do I have to move back to snow leopard. If so, how can I do this?

If you have this product,

you have to go back to Snow Leopard.
To re-install SL, back up your home directory, format and re-install.

ITunes will not sync audio to iPad under Snow Leopard

When I try to sync audio (music and podcasts) from my MacBook Pro to my new iPad, nothing gets transferred. They are listed under the iPad heading at the left of iTunes, but have a gray chasing-arrows icon to the left of the names. (I tried to include an image, but it doesn't work.)
My contacts and calendar do get copied to the iPad.
If I boot from a different partition running Lion, with the same home folder, iTunes does sync audio files. But I'd like to get it running under Snow Leopard.

See if this article will help:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

Monitor Calibration under Snow Leopard 10.6.6

Hello,
I´m using a EIZO CE 240 W hardware-calibrated monitor for Photoshop and a second one connected with it for the tools, which worked perfectly under Tiger, but doesn´t work properly under Snow Leopard. Does anybody know this problem? When I disconnect the second monitor it works, apparently Snow Leopard doesn´t work with two monitor profiles. The color is too yellow-greenish.
Please help! Best wishes,
Peter

Recently upgraded from OS X 10.5 to Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and am finding that both Quicktime Pro 7 and QT Player X save movies EXTREMELY slowly - like a factor of ten slower than before. Can't find anything about this, but it can't be right - it's really unusable.
Are you "saving" or "exporting/sharing" the content? (I.e., what are the containers, audio and video compression formats, and dimensions of both your source and output files?)

Solution to playback distortion in iMovie HD 6 under Snow Leopard

For those having problems with distorted playback in iMovie HD 6 when running the program under Snow Leopard 10.6.3, please see my post today in this thread for a solution that has worked for me:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11608689#11608689
John

I took the plunge and updated to 10.6.3 not long after its release, as I prefer to be up to date with all my software. However, I did this with some trepidation. I needn't have worried (even though I had a backup), as everything seems to be working OK - other than that glitch with iMovie HD 6 playback, which is now resolved for me.
So, currently I have no issues with 10.6.3 - in fact my upgrade may not have been the culprit. I will be interested to hear what your experience is catspaw - if and when you move to the 10.6.3 version.
Thanks for your comment catspaw.

Front Row Incorrectly Reads iTunes Metadata under Snow Leopard?

There is a serious problem with Front Row under Snow Leopard. The program is unable to correctly read the TV metadata from iTunes and does not correctly filter/organize the data. TV episode/season/title data is not read resulting in a completely disorganized library. All files are viewd as "movies" whether they have been tagged as TV shows or not. I had a sizable libray of videos that was perfectly organized under Tiger. Under Snow Leopard my entire database has been blown up- most TV shows appear as "Untitled". I'm sure they are MacMini users who have integrated their computers into their media playback systema s I have and am hoping Apple will provide a fix for this issue which totally undercuts one of the main reasons for integrating the Mini into one's home theatre system. Does any have a fix or simple work around. Come on Apple-- don't turn into Microsoft on me!

I recently purchased a used iMac (from 2006), that the previous owner had upgraded to Snow Leopard. I already have a MacBook Pro. To explain, I purchased the iMac to set it up as a media center computer, connected to my external hard drive and synced with AppleTV. I used Migration Assistant to move my files onto the iMac, but Front Row is now showing all the errors you described.
1. It is VERY slow to open. Clicking Menu on the remote, and you wait 15 seconds or more for Front Row to open.
2. Even though iTunes is directed to my external hard drive, Front Row shows Source as my Macbook Pro.
3. TV shows are out of order. On my Macbook Pro (10.5.8) all shows are listed from first to last, from top to bottom. On the iMac (10.6.4) they are listed last to first, top to bottom.
4. Some TV shows that are clearly in iTunes (purchased from iTunes) do not appear in Front Row at all.
5. The unwatched content blue dot remains even after watching something all the way through to the end. After watching them in Front Row, iTunes does not show them as watched either, but instead has the half blue dot, as if they were unfinished.
6. iTunes is also badly affected: I now have a large number of TV shows in the Movies section, and attempts to reorganize them in the folders on the external where they are store fails. It's a complete mess, and it seems like its deliberate that we cannot reorganize it ourselves.
So what used to be a very lovely program has become a horribly messy, PC like, application. Which made the whole point of setting up a special computer just for media a total waste of time and money with Snow Leopard installed.
If a fix is not forthcoming, I'm probably going to uninstall Snow Leopard, and reinstall Leopard. Everything worked fine there for me.

Gremlins in Vsn 1.6.1 under Snow Leopard.

Have any other users notices graphics gremlins under OS X 10.6.2?
As the play-bar progresses there are noticeable errors along the display of the time-line itself, like small "holes" in the graphics display?
Operation seems fine. This issue did not seem apparent under OS X 10.5.8
Also, as Logic Studio (9) now offers the Apogee UV Dithering algorithm, will we see that in Waveburner too?
Many thanx.
P.S. Logic Rocks under Snow Leopard - 64bit operation.

Hi.
make this.
1. Go to the Apple> System Preferences...
2. Open the "Print & Fax" preference panel.
3. Select the Printing tab, to get to the printers list.
4. Select the printer "Adobe PDF 9.0".
5. Click the options and supplies button.
6. Choose the Drive.
Now I have reinstalled Leopard. but first like a Drive I have listed only a "Generic Printer".
I tried to reassign it ADPDF9.PPD but is not recognized and automatically resets to a generic printer.
So after some tests that I have found here

Scripts broken under Snow Leopard?

I wrote a script using AppleScript Editor. After several tests, running it manually from within AppleScript Editor, it seems to work just fine and does what I want it to. So, I saved a copy of the script as "run only". Supposedly, I should now be able to double-click the run-only script in order to run it without opening the editor. But, when I double-click the file, I get two pop-up windows. The first says: "Unable to read the file because the script is not editable (it was saved as run-only)", the second says "The document 'myscript' could not be opened."
Are scripts broken under Snow Leopard?

sauljaffe wrote:
That's absurd. What purpose does the "run-only" option have then?
that's needed when people publish applications they created and don't want others to see source code. this is done to all commercial software to protect against software piracy. you can do it to your own home made programs too if you want using that button.
If you can't run it, and can't open it with the editor, then you have a file on your system you can only do one thing with: move it to the trash.
There must be a way to save scripts so they can be run without opening the editor first.
of course there is. you save the script as an application. then to run it you double-click on it.
If "run-only" isn't it, then what is it?

My app will no longer run under Snow Leopard, runs fine under Lion.

My app will no longer run under Snow Leopard, even though it was originally written for Snow Leopard. It runs fine on my Dev machine under Lion. But when I test it on my Snow Leopard Mac Mini the app starts but the window does not appear. Going to file, new window does nothing. My depolyment target is set to 10.6. Is there something I did to make my app lose Snow Leopard compatiblty?

Does your application use features only available in Lion? Are you getting any console logs?

HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless Won't Scan Under Snow Leopard

After installing Snow Leopard, my new HP Officejet Pro Wireless 8500 all-in-one printer won't scan. It delivers the following error message: "No Scan Options - refer to device documentation".
Also, when I attempted to check and adjust scan settings using HP's Scan Destinations program, that program hangs and cannot save any setting changes. Then I have to use "Force Quit" to stop the program from hanging up while saving.
HP's software update reports the printer software is up to date.
It appears there are a ton of printer problems appearing for people after installing Snow Leopard, but I sure would appreciate any help on solutions if someone also has this problem.
Thanks much.

I also just tried connecting my 8500 wireless printer directly via usb and then downloading the HP printer drivers from Apple downloads and reinstalling.
The install hangs nearly forever on the final step, but eventually says the driver install was successful. However, then when connected via usb, I am unable to print. Printing works when you reconnect via the wireless on the 8500.
So connecting via usb and reinstalling HP printer drivers does not solve the issue. And it's puzzling, because the list of supported printers under Snow Leopard lists the Officejet Pro8500 Wireless as supporting both printing and scanning.
Somebody has it wrong.
If this scanning problem continues very long, I may be forced to uninstall Snow Leopard, because my printer is brand new.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless second paper tray under Snow Leopard

He there, I have a strange problem with the second (extra) paper tray from the Office Jet Pro 8500. I have setup the tray and activated the option on the driver page on the computers, but no results. No paper is loaded from the tray and there is an error that no paper is loaded in the machine. The printer is connected via ethernet (and a time machine) and I am running snow leopard on all the machines that are connected to the printer. I have installed the latest drivers from Apple and from HP. I know that the paper tray is working, because when I make a copy on the machine localy and force him to use papertray number 2, then there is no problem.
Does anybody have the same problem?? Thanks

PhotoShop Elements 6 for Mac under Snow Leopard?

Hi. Apple's new operating system for Mac, Snow Leopard is being released tomorrow.
According to the Snow Leopard wiki, Photoshop Elements 6 does not work under Snow Leopard:
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
I contacted Adobe to ask if they had any plans to update Photoshop Elements 6 to work with Snow Leopard. The response I got from their support was that Adobe Photoshop Elements was programmed before Snow Leopard and so they weren't responsible if it didn't work.
I am pissed because of course Photoshop Elements was programmed before Snow Leopard. EVERY software program was. Most of my software (and I have a lot of apps) are being updated for Snow Leopard by their developers.
I'm writing this post just to make sure that Photoshop Elements doesn't work under Snow Leopard. It's possible whoever posted that Photoshop Elements didn't work under Snow Leopard could have been having an isolated problem.
So, if anyone tries Photoshop Elements with Snow Leopard, please post here whether or not it works.
Thanks a lot.

No, there are no significant known conflicts with Snow Leopard, so that's not your problem. Have you deleted prefs since the upgrade? Was this an upgrade in place rather than an erase install? If so, go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 Paths Folder
Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 Settings Folder
Opera preferences
repair permissions and see if it's any better. Do you have any third party content installed in PSE? There may well be conflicts with that, if so.

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.

Hi, I've just upgraded my mac book to snow leopard and now when I try to record something with soundtrack pro v2.0.2 through the line input jack, the internal microphone is still switched on and none of the preferences allow me to switch to the input jack,ks
Does anyone know whether STP v2.0.2 will run ok under snow leopard? If I need to upgrade the drivers, does anyone know where I can find these and how to instal them.
Many thanks.

There are no "drivers".
Use Audio MIDI Setup to set your audio input.
Good luck.
