Posix error snow leopard bug

I guess this issue has been occuring since Leopard. A drive goes bad and it needs to be reformatted but Disk Utility in Snow Leopard refuses to erase the drive and or partition it because of a posix error -- Cannot allocate memory. This is a major problem if one wants to fix (zero) a drive.
I, fortunately, had my old powerpc desktop running Tiger and disk utility did what snow leopard didn't, it cleanly zeroed the same malfunctioning drive.
If any apple engineers are reading this, could we have a fix for this lingering bug?
thanks

Thank you.
Yes, I'm running into similar issues when enabling Stealth Firewall.

Photoshop CS4 Snow Leopard Bugs: Cursor Position & Grains

Currently running OSX Snow Leopard (10.6.1), and just installed the latest Adobe updates this morning (9.22.09).
There are two bugs in Ps CS4 I've encountered, one minor but aesthetically unpleasant, and the other major and disrupting:
The first bug occurs at random when Ps is extended to "Full Screen Mode with Menu Ba." As seen in the image at the following link, graininess occurs in Ps's canvas background, and wont disappear until the screen mode is toggled (pressing the "F" key three times): http://img.skitch.com/20090922-tyxk4dfrak4dtf2f4rg7fgyn59.jpg Again, not a major bug, but simply annoying to look at.
The second, more annoying bug, has to do with the cursor and selection tools. I could not determine when exactly this happens and how it goes away, but a few times throughout the day the selection cursor is a few pixels off. When either the lasso, magic wand, marquee or other similar tools are selected, the actual area from which Ps begins to select is about 10-15 pixels below the cursor position, see image in link for clarification: http://img.skitch.com/20090922-1jyqdtj34xw99ysq4gjxhxx57c.jpg
I hope this notice gets the bugs fixed. If you're experiencing similar Snow Leopard side-effects and can detect how and when they occur, please let me know. The canvas background pixelation, I can live with...but the cursor selection bug makes my day twice as difficult and slows my workflow down to a snail's pace.

Not sure about the graininess as I have never seen it but it seems to be the same fix as for the curser being off by 10 pixels. cycle though the screen modes with the F key. this has nothing to do with Snow Leopard as it is present in both Tiger and Leopard as well.
This bug is only present when you create a new doc in full screen mode. If you are a new convert to Mac from Windows you might want to use the application frame, this will give you the gray background without those two annoyances. You can find the application frame at the bottom of the Window menu. this is a new feature on the Mac version with CS4.

Snow Leopard Bugs

I just loaded Snow Leopard clean to my 2009 iMac; no time machine, no backup. Just CLEAN.
Problems:
(1) Safari takes 20 to 30 seconds to load Apple's home page, and other pages with RSS. Pages with no RSS and no QT animation load fine.
(2) I have no other software loaded yet other than Apple's. From time to time, after boot, the Trash bin will have an empty Recovered Files folder. No big deals. But it is irritating.
I've tried emptying Safari's cache and resetting it and all that. Makes no difference.
Any ideas?

(1) Safari takes 20 to 30 seconds to load Apple's home page, and other pages with RSS. Pages with no RSS and no QT animation load fine.
I'm not seeing anything like that here. Try posting over on the [Getting Online and Networking forum|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1343], and be ready with more details about your networking setup.
(2) I have no other software loaded yet other than Apple's. From time to time, after boot, the Trash bin will have an empty Recovered Files folder. No big deals. But it is irritating.
This is normal. When any application leaves files in the temporary folder, those files get placed into a Recovered Files folder in the trash every time you log out. Applications should clean up after themselves, but many (even some Apple apps) don't do so appropriately.

Snow leopard bug with iweb black template

I installed Snow Leopard this weekend. When I went to add content to my website this am, I found that all my pages and entries on the black templates were unreadable. The fonts were ultra condensed so that letters and words were superimposed. I was able to fix them by reselecting the fonts. Just one more thing in my Vista-like Event Horizon involving Safari, Mail, all my fonts, two restores from time machine and an uninstall and then reinstall of my HP printer despite SLs dire warning of the consequences.

Delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, repair disk permissions, reboot, launch iWeb and republish the site. See if that will make any changes. The black theme works for me in myTestPage .
Can you give us the URL so we can examine it first hand?

New Snow Leopard Bug

For some reason my iMac won't stay asleep. This is starting to bother me because my iMac is beside my bed and it wakes me up when I hear the hard drive spin back up. I counted at least 4 times last night that I heard it wake itself up (and me). I usually sleep my iMac at 10:00 pm manually. Here is log entries from console the first of 4 times it happened last night:

I don't use the software. I have all software and firmware updates installed for this drive. Also the WDsmartware, has been hidden by me through a western digital installation. Last night I decided to unplug the usb cables for the drive to see if it would happen if the drive wasn't connected. It did.
I pulled myself out of bed to get more system log files:

Another snow leopard bug?

the day i installed it onto my macbook pro, i was unable to shutdown or restart my computer after several hours of use. i had to hold the power button to be able to shut down my computer.
what happened prior to this was:
- i installed 10.6
- thinking i hadn't installed everything, i opted to (re)install some of the things in the optional folder (i was disappointed i no longer had quicktime pro, which i discovered after the fact that it got shifted to the utilities folder)
- while installing these options i kept getting an error message relating to the file: CNQL1212_ClassicNotSeize.kext
- after the install completed, thinking something might be wrong, i did a fresh install of 10.6
- after several hours, i went to shut down my computer only to discover i couldn't
anyone else have the problem of not being able to shutdown or restart???

everything seems to be working fine now. it only happened the once.
when i clicked to shutdown or restart, nothing happened - as though the shutdown and restart buttons had no more functionality. no error message, no freeze, no black screen. i could have continued to use to my computer normally, i just wasn't able to turn it off without holding the power button down.

Mac Mini w/ Snow Leopard hibernating when it shouldn't

Hi, two Snow Leopard bugs to report:
1. I've got a Mac Mini (from ~early 08) which I've recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. I've got the Energy Saver control panel set to never allow the machine to go to sleep or to sleep the display. However, I hear the machine going into hibernation sometimes when it should be just idling in the Finder. I've snipped out the useful part of my system.log that shows the machine going to sleep and then waking back up when I hit a key:

I confirmed that I have all the auto-sleep/hibernate stuff disabled:

2. Once the machine has gone to sleep for a while, it never seems capable of re-detecting the display which is hooked up to it (a Panasonic projector running through a Monoprice switcher). The only way I can then get the display back is to ssh into the machine and do a 'sudo reboot'. Very frustrating.
Any ideas about either of these [related] issues?
thanks!
Any ideas?

Have you tried trashing /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist, & if you have one, /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.AutoWake.plist? Or toggling between one of the preset Energy Saver settings & your normal one?
Also, very unlikely to be the problem but make sure no uninterruptible power supply emergency shutdown settings are somehow in effect with the pmset -g ups terminal command -- I think you should see:
<pre>UPS settings:haltlevel off 0
haltafter off 0
haltremain off 0</pre>
Regarding your other problem, does it make any difference if the display is connected directly to the Mini, without using the switcher?

IPhoto 8.1 breaks Entourage 2008 with Snow Leopard

The new iPhoto 8.1 update breaks the email functionality to Entourage 2008, if you're using Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
iPhoto 8.1 can no longer successfully email photos to Entourage 2008. It worked just fine with iPhoto 8.0.4, but no longer works with iPhoto 8.1. This is a SNOW LEOPARD PROBLEM... it works just fine under LEOPARD.
The steps to reproduce this problem are as follows:
1. Change iPhoto's preferences to use Entourage as your email client.
2. Choose a photo.
3. Click on the "Email" button.
You will get an error message from the Finder that states "Microsoft Entourage got an error. Can't get content of window ' '". So you are not able to email a photo through Entourage this way anymore. You have to do it manually.
This is a SNOW LEOPARD BUG.
Ideas on how to fix this?

Sorry, clarification on this bug:
THIS BUG HAPPENS IF YOU UNCHECK THE "Titles" checkbox that appears in iPhoto after you click on the email button.
This actually happened in iPhoto 8.0.4 as well.
So THAT'S the bug -- if you UNCHECK THE "titles" checkbox, the email doesn't send.
Sorry for the confusion here!

Anyone upgrade to Snow Leopard and runs CS3 or CS4?

Hi all. I'm looking to upgrade my Mac from tiger to snow leopard, but I wanted to make sure there weren't any problems beforehand. Has anyone upgraded to Snow Leopard? Have you had any problems running CS3 or CS4 since?
Thanks.

Works fine for me on a 2008 unibody MBP. Only a couple bugs that I can live -- neither affect workflow or CS4 functionality.
A) As with Leopard, some programs have an issue with closing. About half the time when you close Ai or Dw the program closes fine -- then it tells you it crashed. A bit annoying, but I just go ahead and send the error report, dosent affect much, although if you've changed any preferences they might get lost. Adobe's prob gotten several hundred crash reports from me on that one :∫
B) Occasionally when you switch from one app to another and you try to go back it only will switch only when you click the icon on the bottom -- otherwise the app you want will just switch back to the other app -- I think it's a snow leopard bug, but seems to affect Flash and AE. Very rarely however.
I've been using Snow Leopard w/ CS4 since release day for prob 14 hours a day 6 days a week and these are my observations.
Go for it dude, you'll love 10.6 -- Use CCC before that way if it's not functioning properly you can aways go back.
It should be noted, I have not tested any third party plug-ins yet. After Effects by itself 9.0.2 has no issues that I can tell.

Airport express printing problem with Snow Leopard

I am no longer able to print to my shared printer after upgrading to Snow Leopard. I get a message that starts with "communication failure the computer is no longer able to communicate with your printer". My network consists of a dual-band Airport extreme and an Airport Express. The dual-band Airport Extreme creates the network and is connected to the internet. The printer (HP LaserJet 1012) is connected to the AirPort Express. The AirPort express joins the dual-band Airport extreme network for the sole purpose of turning the HP LaserJet 1012 into a shared wireless printer. Everything was working fine before the upgrade to Snow Leopard. When I connect the printer directly to my MAC via USB, it prints fine. I can "see" the printer fine through bonjour when it is connected to the AirPort express, but I get a failure whenever I try to print to it. I have tried plugging and unplugging the device. I have effectively redownloaded the print-driver by connecting the printer directly to my MAC. It sounds like a Snow Leopard bug. Any suggestions for a work-around? Thanks.

I upgraded to Snow Leopard and had difficulties connecting to my HP Photosmart 7150 printer through Airport Express. Apple setup found a 3rd party printer driver by Gutenprint, which I downloaded and the printer works. But like it did under Leopard. Under the 10.5 OS, a print command would send a wake up signal to the HP, which automatically turned off after a period of idleness, and then print. Under 10.6, there is no wake up and I need to manually activate the printer. I went to the HP web site hoping to find a "new" driver for 10.6 and HP has posted a message saying it does not and will not be providing print driver for 10.6. It then has a long list of HP devices that cannot or will not print with Snow Leopard. So those with no-printing issues should check your model against the HP driver listing. I believe this is a neat way for HP to force Mac users who upgrade or install 10.6 to buy a new printer for which HP has a 10.6 driver. At least I can print and the only inconvenience that I can see if the lack of that wake up signal. My wife says it won't hurt me if I have to get up and walk to the room with the printer to turn it on!

Cs3 and snow leopard spaces problem

Hi,
Panic over about cs3, because even though Adobe is not supporting it, it seems to work ok. Touch wood. Hopefully I won't come across any annoying problems which affect my workflow. I want to wait for cs5 to upgrade.
A problem with spaces might be related to cs3 but might be a snow leopard problem.
If I drag an image over the photoshop icon, it opens that in the photoshop assigned space. If I then drag a file over the Illustrator icon, it opens it in the SAME space, not the Illustrator assigned space.
i think this is a snow leopard bug, has anyone else experienced it. It's annoying and if it is a bug hope apple fix it asap because it renders spaces useless. The whol epoint is for each app to stay in its own space not start overlapping again, causing me to have to minimise windows to see underneath.

Adobe CS 3 didn't place nice in Leopard's spaces so I think you are looking at an Adobe bug, not a new SL bug. Don't know if CS 4 does any better with Spaces or not. I'm seriously looking for alternatives to Adobe's software - they've taken on the same 'we know best - we are god' attitude Microsoft did in the mid 90s'

PHP/MySQL error since upgrading to Snow Leopard

When I upgraded to Snow Leopard from Leopard I am getting errors on my webserver:
*Warning: mysql_connect() http://function.mysql-connect: OK packet 6 bytes shorter than expected in /Library/WebServer/mysql_connect.php on line 8*
*Warning: mysql_connect() http://function.mysql-connect: mysqlnd cannot connect to MySQL 4.1+ using old authentication in /Library/WebServer/mysql_connect.php on line 8*
The MySQL server is hosted remotely, and the php files are running locally.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Got mine working:

IDVD Encoding Error on Menu in Snow leopard 10.6 - Not replicated in 10.5.8

Hi All,
Why would iDVD have fail at the start of encoding MP4 files in snow leopard 10.6.?1 But the same project encodes with no problems or errors in OS 10.5.8? Is this a bug? Any ideas?
Thanks

I have the same issue. Same mouse. Its definitely snow leopard. I have 2 macbooks that use that mouse that were upgraded to snow leopard from leopard. On one of them I had deleted the mouse and encoutered the same errors trying to add it - it worked on my other machine. But then as a test (bad idea) I deleted it off the other machine and was also unable to recreate the connection thereby narrowing the issue to snow leopard. I have tried pretty much everything for hours. Deleting pllist file, smc reset, nvram etc... I think I have to wipe off the machine and install leopard again and start from there

New Error Code -36 on Snow Leopard - will Lion fix this?

Guys - I know that this has been asked before - but I've not seen a solution that works. Basically, I used my PNY City USB Flash Drive as an "on the go" container for movies, music and work files. I happily was (and still am) to move all content from the PNY to my PC and view all on my Toshiba Portable DVD player. Until last night, I could happily transfer movies at whim from either my iMac or my Macbook Air to PNY to watch on the go. Last night the dreaded error code -36 arrived, stopping me from writing ANY content from my two apple computers to the PNY. Then, I surfed the net for 3 hours and tried:
Disk Utility (Repair etc)
Terminal dot_clean
Jumping on the PNY stick, then my iMac, finally my Macbook Air
Breaking PNY stick in two.
Obvs, kidding about the last two. Nothing works. I've now ordered my Lion thumb drive as I've heard tell that this is a Snow Leopard-specific issue. It better be at £55 an upgrade.
Now everything except movie files (.mkv, .avi etc) can be moved from the apple computers to the PNY - but not what I need - the movies! I need the content on the PNY because this is what I stick in to my Toshiba to view content on my commute.
I use a PC at work and I've just copied items from the PNY to the PC which works, but has a write-protection error message preventing me. Seems like the PNY has flipped to write-protection? I can't remove it at the moment as at work and big brother does not give me permissions here to do that - I'll try it at home. BUT would be great to know:
(a) why this happens
(b) is there a solution
(c) has this been addressed by Lion - have any Lion users had this issue too?
Apple support says that it's 10.6.8 update fixed error code -36 - but it surely didn't on mine!
Cheers guys.

Error -36 is not a specific error or bug. It simply means input/output error, and nothing more. If it occurs when copying a file, it doesn't even tell you whether the issue is with the source or the target. It can be caused by any number of problems.

Where exactly does it say that? I can't find anything about an "error code -36" in the "about" doc

In that case, it's not likely you're dealing with a bug in the OS.
from either my iMac or my Macbook Air […] PC which works, but has a write-protection error message preventing me. […]
So, let me get this straight.
You get an I/O error when you try to copy from one Mac.
You get an I/O error when you try to copy from another Mac.
And you get some kind of error or unexpected issue when trying to copy from the PC.
What exactly do all these three have in common?
First, that there's an error; second, that it occurs with the same "PNY City USB Flash Drive".
So what's your conclusion? That you've encountered some bug in Mac OS X? Or that there's some problem with the drive?

Just upgraded to Lion an am discovering that I cannot send email photos from within iPhoto. Error message says bad Internet connection or server not working, when that's not the case. Never happened in Snow Leopard! Help!!!
