Problems with Aperture after upgrading from Tiger to Snow Leopard

Help!  I recently upgraded my IMac operating system from Tiger to Snow Leopard.  Now, I am finding my aperture is not responding the way it used to.  I cannot change the border dimensions; I can't print.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I was told by Apple Technical Support that they will not provide support for Aperture 2 and that I would have to upgrade to Aperture 3.  Is this correct? 

This is called a Kernel panic.

Did you do anything else apart from ungrading OS?
Did you add memory?
Bad or not well seated memory modules are often a cause of kernel panic

  • Problem in Mail 4.2 after upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard

    After the OS upgrade and software updates I realize that both my gmail and my hotmail accounts are not accessible from Mail 4.2. Furthermore, whenever I open Mail 4.2 there is not any windows pop up. And there is no option to add a mail account. This is driving me crazy in the last a couple of weeks.

    Not sure what you mean by no window pop ups. However, as for adding accounts, click on "Mail" in the menubar, select 'preferences...' click on 'accounts' on left side bottom corner click on the '+' sign to add account.

    #1 Do a complete bootable backup of your drive before upgrading. That way should anything happen you can revert back to the start and try again.
    Make sure you meet Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    You might also want to make sure you don't have software issues with SL:

  • Am replacing airport extreme with Time Machine and want to upgrade from Tiger to Snow leopard. Am told I should manually back up into T Machine before OS update but set up utility won't allow anything with OS below 10.5 and I'm 10.4.11. What to do?

    I think you mean you are replacing your Airport Extreme with a Time Capsule. Time Machine is software integrated into OS X 10.5 & 10.6 used to automatically backup a system to an external HD. Time Capsule is an Airport Extreme that has a hard disk integrated into it that can be used for storage or  as a Time Machine backup drive.
    Because you are currently on Tiger 10.4.x you can backup to a external HD using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner. Having a backup is very wise before doing any major system update. After  you have created the backup and have successfully upgraded to Snow Leopard you can still use the external HD for many things. The strategy I'd recommend is to use the new Time Capsule as your Time Machine backup and then use the external HD as backup using SuperDuper or CCC. Redundant backups is wise because backups can (and do) fail too! In addition both SD and CCC are bootable clones, this is useful in that if your internal HD crashes you can boot from a cloned drive and continue working until the internal HD is replaced.
    Below are some links to some articles from MacWorld, I would recommend reading them where you find a common theme, redundant backups. Backup Plan I, Backup Plan II & Backup Plan III.

  • I have an IAMc 4.1 with intel core duo.  Upgraded from tiger to snow leopard but cannot get safari to run in 64 bit.  Is this because my older IMac won't support 64 bit?

    Hi,
    the Intel Core Duo processor is a 32-bit only processor and not capable of 64-bit.
    Only the Core 2 Duo and later processors are capable of 64-bit.
    Sorry

  • Troubles with upgrade from tiger to snow leopard

    I just bought the full SL pack to upgrade from Tiger to Snow leopard but it is coming up with a different interface than my brand new macbookpro that came with sl installed. Is this normal or does it have to do with the fact that the old macbook pro is the first version of the intel macs?

    I see. Your need to drag them to the right side of the demarcation line--the white squares in perspective. They don't work under the line.

  • I want to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard...I'm apprehensive about Lion.

    I've been hearing so many "glitch" anecdotes about Lion. Until these problems are resolved
    I want to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard but I'll be buying a new Apple computer to
    do that..
    I presently have a a 10.4 iMAC with only 2.33 GB of memory and I'm getting a new puter
    in order to have 4 GB. Is it recommended to use Lion with a new Apple computer or can I use
    Snow Leopard without missing out on anything? Are the stories about Lion just the usual thing
    that always happens with a new upgrade? Tiger has worked perfectly for me for 6 years but that
    has been on computer that is 6 years old. (POWERPC) Does a new iMAC computer with intel
    require the latest operating system to work at top efficiency? Is my apprehension about Lion
    an over reaction to anecdotal info?

    Some of this is answered best by knowing what model computers are involved. If you are truly getting a brand new (as opposed to a newer used) computer then it will likely come with Lion installed, unless there's some old stock (which even then would have Lion installed but could still run under Snow Leopard which you would have to buy separately).  Macs will normally only run the version system that comes installed, or newer, so if you are getting a brand new Mac you won't have any choice but to run Lion (or its successors). It won't run Snow Leopard unless it is a new used computer.
    As for Lion stories, those would best be answered on the Lion forum. I still run Tiger which I why I'm on this forum.  There's always issues with any upgrade.  For me the biggest drawback to Lion is all my software is PPC generation and Lion stopped supporting PPC completely. If I got a brand new computer I would also have to upgrade all my software which could easily run to over a thousand dollars more.

  • Want to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard

    I spent over an hour through the apple store web site and cant find a way to upgrade directly from Mac OS 10.4 Tiger to the latest Snow Leopard version.
    The Apple web site gives only one purchase possibility : to upgrade from Leopard 10.5 to Snow Leopard 10.6. But how to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard ?

    this has been oft asked and answered. you can buy a Macbox set which will give you snow leopard, ilife and and iwork. or you can buy a $29 standalong snow leoaprd dvd although there is a big disagreement on the board whether using it to go from tiger to snow leopard directly violates ULA (I think it does). but the actual disk is the same as in the macbox set and either one will upgrade you to SL.

  • I am upgrading from Tiger to Snow Leopard. I keep getting an error when I try to load the Mac Os x update combined. It says that it was corrupted during download. Have try loading from Apple website V10.6.7 upgrade combined but it still won't do it?

    I have an Intel Desktop iMac and I am upgrading from Tiger to Snow Leopard. I keep getting an error when it tries to load the Mac OS X update combined. It says that it was corrupted during download. Have try loading from Apple website  Mac OS X V10.6.7 upgrade combined but it still won't do it? Any other suggestions. The printer is not working either - I am not sure if they are connected. Everything else is fine.

    Please excuse, but I have to ask an obvious question: Did you already update using the Snow Leopard Retail install DVD? (You must do this first; 10.6.7 is just an update if you already have 10.6.) Are you, then, trying to update from whatever version was on the install DVD to 10.6.7?
    Otherwise, I'd keep trying. The 10.6.7 Combo is a huge update.

  • Upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard - now have problems with basic apps?

    I have a 2007 iMac (5.1, 2007) dual core. It's capable of running Snow Leopard and Lion (but not, I believe ML).
    I just bought the upgrade SL discs from Apple and installed them as an upgrade, moving up to 10.6.3 (from the discs). After running software update I'm now on 10.6.8.
    Since upgrading I've successfully run Time Machine. However I have the following problems:-
    A bunch of emails were present in the Inbox, but contained no body text - just the subject line. I have managed to since find most of them successfully from TM. This is a minor annoyance but I thought I'd mention it.
    ITunes won't boot up. It booted the first time I tried it, but since then the little icon just bounces up and down.
    Certain apps won't quit properly. I quit from the top menu, but the little blue light remains under the icon in the dock. I then have to 'Force Quit - Application Not Responding' *every time*.
    Safari frequently won't load up bookmarked or seach pages, the progress bar gets stuck part way across and I stare at the rainbow pinwheel for ages, before having to quit, then Force Quit, then restart Safari and try again.
    Now, I'm tempted to do a Clean Install, but after four international moves (Singapore-Australia-UK-Canada) I no longer have any of the original discs, and thus as I understand it will lose iLife. And iLife 11 needs Lion.
    I've done a disc permissions repair thing via the Mac Disc Utility. I've run a few clean-up operations via Onyx.
    Any suggestions gratefully received. My Mac as been running great for years, but this upgrade has been extremely disappointing thus far.
    thanks

    Hi baltwo
    Many thanks for your advice. I've read all the links and will be buying a 2nd external HD to do a SuperDuper back up. I already had a 1Tb drive with Maxtor back up on it, and I also managed to get a Time Machine back up as well, so at least my data should be safe.
    Qn - If I back up the System and Utility folders as well as the Home folder, I don't suppose I can restore them after an install and everything (eg iLife) will 'just work'?
    Anyway, I went straight from Tiger to Snow Leopard. I don't have any Tiger discs either (see reasons above) so now have no way of restoring original set up. I tried to boot from the SL install CD and then hold 'C' but must be getting something wrong as I don't get the Disk Utility pop up. It just boots as normal to the desktop.
    Anyway, via the normal Disc Utitlity I've done a Repair Permissions again with no major issues. However, my Onyx software now won't run at all so I can't clean any caches a second time.
    I've contacted the Apple rep who sold be the SL discs but she's not got back to me yet re iLife.
    This weekend I'm going to try a fresh upgrade. If that fails I'll try Erase and Install, if I can get the 'C' button timing right. I'll update if I have any successs.
    cheers

  • What problems are associated with an upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard?

    Hi folks.
    Is it possible to upgrade directly from Tiger to Snow Leopard, without having to buy Leopard? I've seen many answers around the web, many of them conflicting. There appear to be possible associated problems if you bypass Leopard. But as I'm not certain that what I read is correct I thought I'd come straight to the Community and ask.
    Thanks in advance.
    (Only reason I'm asking is I persuaded my mother to buy her first Mac (second hand) and it has Tiger loaded onto it. I'd like her to have a more up to date software.)

    The computer has to be an Intel Mac.
    The basic requirements for Snow Leopard are as follows:
    An Apple computer with an Intel Processor
    1GB of Memory (RAM)
    5GB of hard drive space (Storage)
    DVD drive for installation
    You can go directly from Tiger to Snow.
    Possible problems: make sure the current third party Tiger apps will be compatible. 1 GB RAM is bare bones. You want more than that.
    Before upgrading make sure you have the current Mac configuration backed up completely. Use a cloning program like Carbon Copy Cloner to make a bootable clone on an external drive.

  • Upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard with retail DVD.

    Apologies if this has been posted before, but I've not been able to find it when searching.
    I'm going to be upgrading an iMac from Tiger to Snow Leopard, using the retail DVD. When I boot from it, it only gives me the option to install, and there's no indication that it will be upgrading rather than installing a new copy.
    Can you upgrade Tiger to Snow Leopard with this DVD or would I have to do a clean install? If I can upgrade, is it normal that it isn't telling me it's going to do an upgrade?
    Thanks all.

    The Snow Leopard installer is somewhat optimized for updating an existing system: it uses data gathered from the old system to decide what to install, its network settings to attempt to access an Apple database of incompatible apps to supplement the list on the DVD, & other useful things.
    It even does the equivalent of Disk Utility's verify disk step before writing anything to the HD & does the actual upgrade as root user, making permissions issues a moot point.
    There is no reason to hesitate to use it in this way. It is greatly improved compared to earlier OS installers.
