Problem installing officejet pro 6830 software on my iMac running Snow Leopard
Greetings, I have a problem installing officejet pro 6830 software on my iMac running Snow Leopard. When I insert the HP software disc onto my iMac, and go to the HP website, it says:
"403" Ooops! Request forbidden...
Any possible solutions to this? Thanks for any feedback...
Hi @RNOjetnow ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue with needing the drivers for the 10.6 Snow Leopard OS. You should be able to install the Apple Drivers just by connecting the USB cable.
Here is a document that might help.
Hope this helps you install the drivers.
Thanks.

I have an Imac running snow leopard and have recently installed a cannon i-sensys lbp7750Cdn printer since then I can't get the printer working and the air port has lost the DNS servers; if it ever had them!!! but it dose not look happy and it is telling me so. Can any one help please?
Snow Leopard breaks quite a few drivers - my Canon exhibited the same problem.
I eventually found updated drivers on the Canon website. You can try that with the HP, but if the all-in-one is more than a year or so old, don't hold your breath.
You can also try Software Update to see if it will offer new drivers, or failing that go to the Support Downloads site and search for HP updates.
In fact there's a new one for HP at the top of the list just now.
You may not necessarily want the latest one, though - check the specs to see if your model is covered; if not, search for the previous update etc. -
I have an IMAP mailbox that seems to only show mail 7 days on my iMac running Snow Leopard. However, on my MacBook Pro I can see all old mail that I have not deleted. It is running the next operating system (Lion?). Does anyone know how I can get all my old mail back on my iMac. It is my primary computer and I need some of those old messages. I have tried to rebuild the mailbox but it has not done anything.
I have tried to rebuild the mailbox to no avail. The mailbox behavior says: Drafts (not checked) store draft messages on the server, Notes (checked) show not in Inbox, Sent (checked) Store sent messages on the server Delete sent messages when (option never selected), Junt (not checked) store junk messages on the server Delete junk messages when (option never selected), Trash (checked) moves deleted messages to the Trash mailbox and (checked) store deleted messages on the server Permanently erase deleted messages when (one month old option selected).
I have not set up any rules that I know of other than a signature, in the very least I have not changed any. -
My 2006 iMac running Snow Leopard won't boot even after erasing and re-installing Snow Leopard. I erased and re-installed by putting the iMac in Target Disk mode and usin my MacBookPro as the host. But after numerous attempts I still can't get it to boot either from the HD or DVD drive. I just get the white screen after the wheel stops spinning. I can't get it to run Hardware Test - just get the white screen. If I use Disk Utility via my MBP it says the disk appears OK. All the Snow Leopad files appear to have been installed. What can I do?

Reet the SMC and the PRAM

Perhaps you installed the wrong version OS X onto the iMac, you can't use the disk from another Mac.
clean the disk.
If it's not working then use this method to create a bootable 10.6 USB from the iMac machine specific 10.6 disk or the 10.6.3 retail disk on your other Mac, use it to boot the iMac with.

How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6 -
Have a MacBook Pro running Lion (10.7.9) and an IMac running Snow Leopard (10.6.8). Want to Back up both images and restore on opposite machines. Essentially swapping images between hard drives. Is this possible and any "gotcha's" to look for? Thanks
If the MBP came with Lion, it most likely won't boot with SL. Easiest thing to do is create a bootable backup/clone of each to an ext HD, partitioned to hold each on a separate volume, ensure that the original machines can boot with their respective clones, and finally, try booting the other machine with the other clone. Images are useless since you can't boot with them to test them out.

My early Intel iMac running Snow Leopard will not boot past the apple logo. I have tried holding the c key and inserting the install disk, but nothing. What do I try next?
I have tried resetting PRAM and all other items listed in the Apple support site. This happened after an update to iTunes was added. Also this is happening to other people. Please help.

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?? ThanksI also just tried connecting my 8500 wireless printer directly via usb and then downloading the HP printer drivers from Apple downloads and reinstalling.

Mac Pro with software raid and upgrading to Snow Leopard
Not sure if anyone else has experienced this but here goes. I have a mac pro with 4 500G drives using the onboard software raid. When I insert the Snow Leopard disk and try to install, it fails to find the raid. Is there a trick to get this to work?
Thank you SSSOOO much Greg818. I was pulling my hair out over this problem. I even went so far as to do a full Leopard install with Snow Leopard update on a USB drive and them cloned it over to my RAID 0 array using SuperDuper hoping that this would solve the problem. It seemed to in the sense that the clone went fine but then when I would try and boot from the array I would get the Apple Logo and spinning wheel but it just kept spinning and spinning until finally the Apple logo was replaced by the Do Not Enter symbol(you know the circle with the slash through it).
So came here and found this thread. Your solution worked like charm!!! Once again thank you so much... you saved me from being bald. -
HP Officejet Pro 8000 stopped working on installation of Snow Leopard
Hi,
All my printer does since the Snow Leopard install is sit there with the resume button blinking. That usually indicates no paper or a paper jam, yet I have paper and there is no jam.
HP has no ideas and are at the point of suggesting I return it under warranty, but we both believe this is a Snow Leopard problem.
Any ideas?David,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. When we first ran through all of the testing, we were unable to duplicate the issue. On the plus side, late last week we were able to duplicate the problem. So the good news is I have a work around for you, but the bad news is that the work around may not be sticky (in other words you may have repeat it when you run into troubles again). And this problem only effects 10.6 machines. Once we figure out what is actually going wrong, if we can we will post an update.
In the meantime, here is what you are probably most interested in, the work around:
If the printer cannot print, unplug the printers ethernet cable and after 30 sec. plug back in the ethernet cable to the printer. From there you should be able to successfully print. If you happen to turn off the printer, after turning it back on, unplug and plug back in the printers ethernet cable to restore printing. Again, this only happens on mac OSX 10.6 and 10.6.1.
Just trying to help.

I bought 2 2TB WD Passport Drives with the intention of housing my iTunes/iPhoto libraries off my older MacBook. I have successfully transferred the Libraries to one and am using the other one for Time Machine. In Snow Leopard I could back up my computer to Time Machine no problem but when I did not exclude the iTunes/iPhoto drive the back up fails. Both drives have been reformatted, permissions repaired and checked in Disk Utility and one was replaced. I have been to the Genius Bar now 5 times. I have tried using USB drive and FireWire. Both drives are recognized and are working properly otherwise regardless how they are connected. Finally yesterday the Apple store installed Lion to see if that fixed the issue and it did not. Time Machine successfully backed up a USB Flash drive, and today I will try an older external drive. Any ideas on what else to try??? Do I have to resort to third party software like Carbon Copy Cloned to get this done? Any ideas why this wont work? I am using a FireWire converter but as I said, both drives are working normally otherwise (libraries working, time machine working for the computer's hard drive. Any ideas would be appreciated!!?
Thanks so much but none of that helped. It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive. I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
Thank you for your help and replying to this. Guess I made my own issue! -

Iphoto 9.1.5 upgrade problem on July 12 2011 on iMac running Snow Leopard
2nd user (My wife) on my iMac, following the upgrade today, when opening iphoto gave an error message of "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable. Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen. it while keeping the option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup" .
I followed these instructions and eventually selected the "repair" option, which was the first option. This process "Upgrading Library: Scanning Library" has now been running for 2 hours and I'm concerned that it will not succeed.
Secondly, since applying the complete upgrade to the ilife programs today, my network changed itself somehow from the network I had set up on my Time Capsule, to the network provided by my ISP. How? It had not been modified by myself and in fact a Time Machine backup to my Time Capsule was actioned successfully approx. 1 hour before the update was downloaded, via my Time Capsule Network and applied. Nothing had been changed.
This upgrade has concerned me. I've not experienced anything like this before with previous upgrades.I ran into the same problem. Installed 9.1.5 and BAM! - iPhoto wouldn't launch - got the "Your photo libary is either in use ..." error. I did the normal stuff - restored 9.1.3 from my backup. No dice. Deleted iPhoto and reinstalled from origial media, then upgraded to 9.1.3. No dice. Reverted my iPhoto library to pre-9.1.5 date. No dice.
So, I do a little digging. I created a new library and that worked fine. So, there's something wrong with my old library. I showed the contents of the old library and the new one. I looked at the files that were being modified at the time the library was opened. There is a file called iPhotoLock.data. Hmm. I wonder ...
So, I deleted that file from the contents of the library (copied it to another location), opened iPhoto with the option key held down, selected my old library and it opened right up.
Short story is, the iPhotoLock.data file was corrupted somehow, so by deleting it and letting iPhoto create a new one, I was able to get all my stuff back. Didn't have to use the library manager or anything that extreme.
I've seen a number of posts like this one and never saw an answer that was acceptable. The only posts with an "answer" were to use the library manager to build a new library from the old one. I loose things that way (books, etc.) and that wasn't acceptable. I thought I'd post this so maybe others can try it and see if it works for them.
The explanation of how to do this is simple. Open the folder where your library resides, control-click the iPhoto library and select "show contents". You'll see the iPhotoLock.data file. Delete it. Close the window that opened when you selected "show contents". Run iPhoto again and, if it works like mine did, your life will be back and visible again.
Hope this helps.

Cannot install Windows 7 on my iMac running Snow Leopard
When I run Boot Camp Assistant to partition the HDD it says it wants to install some Windows drivers first. When I say OK it starts and then reports that it can't find the drivers. I have to force quit Boot Camp Assistant to regain control of the iMac.
disconnect all usb devices (except your kb and mouse and usb drive being used by boot camp)
use only a usb2 drive
if your imac has a dvd drive, you have to use that for the windows installer, usb will not work -
Experiencing similar issues on both imac and power book: after replacing an original airport extreme with a new airport extreme both computers display a black box msgs that reads: "...turn off your computer by holding down the power button and or the reset button for a few seconds and then restart your computer."...
one of the printers are usb'd to the imac. The printer is not "seeing" the imac nor will it print wireless from the powerbook which was the norm prior to the upgrade on the airport extreme.
Upon restart, the imac does not "see" the wireless keyboard or the mouse until it is "found" again.
At this time the imac or the powerbook can get on line.It sounds like your computer is getting Kernel Panics. Please look at About "You need to restart your computer" (kernel panic) messages and if the message seen on your display is like the one in the link then you have confirmed you had a KP. KP's can be tough to track down because they can be caused by software or hardware. The first place to start is to post the complete crash log so we can look at it, often there are clues in the log. You can find it at:
