Problems with Mobile Me System Preferences after installing Snow Leopard

I installed Snow Leopard yesterday, and noticed that my calendar was no longer syncing between my mac and my iphone. I opened the system preferences/mobile me pane and my .mac account came up, but when I tried to hit the "sync" pane it just froze. It did this repeatedly. I trashed the system preferences file and tried again, with the same result.
Any ideas? I'd really like my calendars to continue syncing across devices.

I had same issue, this cured it for me...
- Open MobileMe in System Preferences
- Click Advanced
- Click Reset Sync Data
- Select Calendar from drop down menu/pop up list
- (In my case I changed the arrow, to copy all calendar events from my mac to mobileme)
This resets the data in mobile me.
After this the sync function worked as normal & my iPhone syncing was ok as well...
Hope this helps

I cannot connect with people on video chat after installing Snow Leopard.

As soon as I installed Snow Leopard I tried to connect (Video) with a friend through iChat, and it kept saying the person declined the invitation. Is this a known issue.

Hi,
iChat reads the full rate of your Connection Speed in iChat 5 rather than the setting in iChat 4 that read the System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming speed as it's speed in Leopard.
I have a G4 running Leopard and calling from the Snow Leopard MacBook Pro gets the Declined message where as starting from the G4 and calling the Macbook Pro even using an AIM Buddy list, works.
I suspect but have no proof yet that the faster speed makes iChat think the other end has not replied and the "Declined" message is the default one.
I would get the declined even before the Visible Invite had go to the G4.
I set the iChat menu < Preferences > Video Section > Bandwidth Limit to 500kbps with no apparent improvement.
I have since called other Buddies from the MacBook Pro and been successful.
(which throws my theory somewhat)
As a Side note the Connection Doctor (Video Menu of iChat) has a Network Status item now and I get Port Restricted which is coloured Amber as being one of the less favoured NAT methods.

After installing Snow Leopard problems with using any of my Helvetica fonts

I've never really have a problem with any of apple's products until now.
After installing Snow Leopard I've found problems with using any of my Helvetica fonts,
which is a BIG problem if you work in DTP or print. You CAN'T remove the system version of Helvetica, and replace it with your own anymore.
Also Flash CS4 seems to be a dead duck, as after about 5-6 seconds of loading the program it crashes with a "KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE".

Thanks Tom but the original post title was "Work in DTP, don't install snow leopard", but of course apple were unhappy with the title. I know the issue/problem has been discussed for months, the real problem is that it shouldn't be a problem which everyone has to find work arounds for.
After 4 days of playing about, I've finally got flash CS4 working and Quarkxpress was also a big problem for a few months. Printer description (PPD) files which snow leopard doesn't like, but worked in tiger & leopard.....means I can't use my two A3 inkjets for proofing anymore.
I'm just disappointed by snow leopard

After installing Snow Leopard on MacPro with 23" HD monitor I have noticed an anomaly when scrolling up or down, a horizontal ripple appears briefly, I have tested other browsers and there is no problem, only in FF 8. What is causing this?

Hi applecore_eater,
When Leopard came out, machines were shipping with Tiger for 3-5 months after it's release. So the fact that you bought a machine with Leopard still installed is not uncommon, especially considering we're not even a month into release. Matter of fact, I'd be surprised to see a lot of machines (unless CTO) that are coming with Snow Leopard.
The battery issue is not specific to Snow Leopard or the MacBook Air. I've deployed SL to about 15-20 MacBook Airs and all of them have been perfectly fine (batteries).

Having many problem with wifi....after installing lion......

Having many problem with wifi....after installing lion......it connect with wifi but not with Internet and at the same time iPad 2, iPhone 4 works smooth......help......I have MacBook air without thunderbolt and mac mini

I had the same problem last night. Boot into OSX and reboot the router - fine. Boot into Windows and wrong. Here were my fixes:
Firstly, I kept all the settings on my router solid. Just leave them as they are. Boot into OSX and check the Network settings and make a note of your IP address and the router's IP address.
Second, boot into Windows, then open up your wireless connection settings and navigate through to the properties where you can set the IP address.
Third: Set the IP address to your routers IP address changing the last set of digits to a value between 5 and 255 (I have 8 devices so I set the last two digits to 10.) This will keep the IP static.
Tab through the Mask settings to default those.
Then set the default gateway to your router's IP address.
Check that the Network Adapter's setting has IPv6 disabled (uncheck the box)
Finally: Set the primary DNS server to 8.8.8.8 then the secondary to 8.8.4.4 and then reboot the router.
That's what got my connection running.

Met with a white screen after installing Snow Leopard on Macbook (mid 2007)

After installing Snow Leopard on my Mid 2007 mac book pro I was prompted to restart. I restarted and the computer turned on but only got as far as a white screen that stays white with no further activity for an indefinite amount of time. I've restarted the computer a few times with the same results. How do I fix this and get past the white screen?!

Try booting into "verbose mode". That will cause a series of messages to appear on the screen during the boot process. When that stalls (presuming it does so), write down the last few messages and post them as a reply.
You might also try running the diagnostics that came with that Mac. Depending on the model, you can boot with the "system restore disc" in the machine with the "D" key held down to run those. Run the diagnostics several times.

MacBook Pro won't wake from sleep after installing Snow Leopard

If my MacBook Pro is running while closed with an external display and I unplug it from the display it goes to sleep - as indicated by the white light and the front pulsing. If I then open the MacBook the display remains blank and it is completely unresponsive to any keys or track pad input.
The only thing it responds to at that point is holding the power button down until it powers down and then restarting - loosing all work in progress at that point.
Before installing Snow Leopard the Mac would wake reliably when opened from this state.

I think I may have found the fix for this. My MacBook Pro was dying in its sleep every time (after installing Snow Leopard), whether it went to sleep automatically or I used a Hot Corner. I went into System Preferences>Desktop & Screen Saver and changed the screen saver to Flurry, and it works now. I had had it set to a folder containing a single .pct file that I had created.
Good advice Mike! When in doubt check the ScreenSaver settings.
Definitely seems that it has a problem with that pic... In my case, selecting any images instead of the default setting (no screensaver) seems to have cured my non waking issue on my early Macbook Pro in Snow Leopard.
My original problem was that no amount of trackpad input woke it, but the space bar did. The space bar seemed to wake it up with the previous Screen Saver setting. Now trackpad wakes it up (even from total sleep as well as screen saver), too. Might be nice to know about if this is an intended 'feature' as a security trick. Otherwise I consider this a bug.
My vote is that it's a bug.

After installing Snow Leopard the speech application keeps quitting

Hi everyone, I have recently installed Snow Leopard on my 06 iMac, installed all the latest updates.
I then found that when I try to set up voice activation application: system preference–speech.
The application opens for a few seconds and then unexpectedly quit. As I'm studying I use Acrobat reader
to read documents back to myself. I am not sure if it has anything to do with my machine being a 32-bit machine, and Snow Leopard
is mainly a 64-bit operating system. But I also find that the Read aloud option in the Acrobat reader does not work
and causes acrobats also unexpectedly quit.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on?
Thank you

Opening Photo Files in Photo Shop CS3 after installing Snow Leopard.

After installing Snow Leopard I could only open photo files in a Preview mode. I called Adobe and Apple and could not get a solution. So I called my local Mac tech person where I got the answer to my problem. What to do: Right click on an image file icon.(Do not open image.) Then go to: Get info. In the dropdown menu, Open with: Select Adobe Photoshop CS3.app or whatever app you desire. Then click change all. You have to do this just one time for each extention such as jpg, tif, etc. Trust this helps.

Hello sean:
I am not an expert in iPhoto, but people who post here are:

To try to address the browser problem, reset Safari and see if that helps. Also, try an alternate browser (I use Firefox that way) to see if the problem is system-wide. Also, there is a Safari forum here:

After installing snow leopard most applications appear to not respond

Hi John, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Please go to "My Settings"and give us more information about your Mac. It's on this page at upper right ➦
On your  menu choose "About this Mac" and fill in : Version, Model, Processor and Memory. Also, your "available" hard drive space which will will be at the bottom of your Finder window (xx GB available).
Try Safe Mode (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)
If your apps function correctly that way, go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items, and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not go to Users/(yourname)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving ~(yourHome)/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.

Open the Speech pane of System Preferences and check whether either the listening key or the speech key has become set to that keystroke; if so, change the setting.

Can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard

I can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard. Is anyone else having this problem?
I have a standard iWork '08 install. Has anyone experienced? And better yet, know of a fix?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Most users who have had a problem opening Office files with the iWork apps after upgrading to Snow Leopard have the problem fixed by updating to the latest versions. For iWork '08 that is Pages 3.0.3 & Numbers 1.0.3. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.0.2 & Numbers 2.0.2. I don't use Keynote, but it should also be updated. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

"Inkjet 4 Quit Unexpectedly" error message after installing Snow Leopard, C410 printer

Can't get printer to print after installing Snow Leopard. C410 Photosmart Premium All in One Printer. Keeps saying "Inkjet 4 Quit Unexpectedly". Wireless test says everything is fine.

If you are using Snow Leopard or Lion and have HP software for pre-Snow Leopard (either from a CD not marked as compatible with 10.6 or you recently upgraded to Snow Leopard or Lion and had the HP software on your Mac before you upgraded - even if you did a standard uninstall of the old software or installed new software over the top of it) you must uninstall the software using the 'scrubber' option:
Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
Click on Continue
Highlight your device on the left pane
Press and hold Control + Alt + Cmd keys on the keyboard simultaneously while you click on Uninstall <<<< This IS the Scrubber Option, there is no button labeled "Scrubber"
There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
Click Continue and let it finish
Restart your Mac
Download and install this: support.apple.com/kb/DL907
Now reset the printing system:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
Finally, get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.
