Ran Onyx for Snow Leopard (cleanup) and now my Safari is GONE. HELP!

Running the latest OS. I ran ONYX for Snow Leopard, the cleanup section I think, and now Safari is GONE. Help! I downloaded it again from Apple's site and installed but it will now show. Help! I ran a repair disk, repair disk permissions and all finished OK. Help please!!!!
I could restore it with Time Machine but is that the best thing to do?

I concur w/Allan. Don't use those apps. They're not needed and can muck things up. For maintaining a Mac, see:

just downloaded aperture 3.4 update for the app store and now it wont open please help!!

Just want to echo this complaint.
I have tried re installing Aperture 3 and I've looked for preferences or something to clear, but nothing helps. It continues to crash each time I open it no matter what.

Recently installed Snow Leopard software and now my printer will not respond. Any suggestions?

I recently installed Snow Leopard. Now my printer will not respond. How do I troubleshoot that?

Start by telling readers the make&model of your printer, and what cabling you are using to connect it.
If you were connecting via AppleTalk, it is no longer supported, and you will need a different connection method. Readers can help you with that.
Some printers will need updated Drivers for Snow Leopard. Some printers need to be deleted and re-added.

I transferred files from a NAS server to the Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server and now some of the files have Custom Access and can't be opened by some users. How do I fix this?

We're setting up our Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server, and in the process transferred files that had been stored and accessed from our Blackarmor NAS server over to the Mac. These files were all created on PC's and are Office Excel files, WordPerfect files or PDF's. When you look at the files on the Mac from the Mac and bring up Get Info for the affected file, it says that the file has Custom Access. The files that work properly don't have that configuration. I can access and open the files on some computers, but some users can't open the files from their computer even though they can see it. We're all using PC's and they get the Error: Access Denied-Contact your administrator--or something similar. I've seen on the web similar issues and it may have something to do with ACL permissions. I don't know enough about Mac OS to understand this, but what is baffling is that they can be opened from some PC's but not others, and all of the Users have the same accessibility to the files. Thanks for a solution!!

Oh, on the losing Internet, try this...
Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712
10.7 & 10.8…
System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.
10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
For 10.5/10.6, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...

Snow Leopard upgrade and now DVD problems in WinXP partition

I upgraded to Snow Leopard (finally) on my Mac partition. The first time I tried to play a DVD I was asked to change the region from 1 to 4, which I did, unfortunately, without checking it out first (I've since discovered I should have set it to 'ignore' DVD Player). Now my Windows XP partition won't recognise my DVD drive and I can't reinstall it - I get an error message about a corrupt Registry. I can't see how I can change the region back to Region 1, as I have no Region 1 DVDs (it tells me I'm allowed 4 more changes). I've searched these communities and can't find any not-too-technical answers. I don't want to run the risk of making things worse. I would be very grateful for any help as I need to work in Windows for my job. Many thanks.

Confirmed that iCal 4.0 (packaged with Snow Leopard) breaks when used with the Cosmo CalDAV server (http://chandlerproject.org/Projects/CosmoDevelopmentHome). Before in iCal 3.x it worked fine. When attempting to update a calendar I now get the message:
"You can't change events or to do items in the $calendar calendar."
I'd encourage Apple to test iCal with other popular CalDAV servers before releasing it as it is supposed to be compatible with open standards.

Snow leopard install and now can't find boot camp

I just installed snow leopard in preparation to use the latest version of boot camp. When I completed the install, boot camp was gone.
Can someone tell me what I need to do?
Thanks

Did you repartition the drive? Or are you referring to the application, Boot Camp Assistant?

Fresh snow leopard install and still same problem. Please help :(

hello.
After 10.6.3 update....
I had issues with trackpad and keyboard freezing on my early 2008 macbook pro.
I have tried to reset pram, nvram, smc, onyx maintance everything i could think of.
So i decided to wipe hard drive clean and do fresh install. Everything was working fine until i applied 10.6.3 update.
Is there any fix for this yet ?
It still doesnt work good even with fresh install of snow leopard and 10.6.3 update.
Thank you

I've read a lot on the Internet about alien UFO crashes too, but that doesn't mean it is a good idea to take them at face value.
If something doesnt work after clean install then thats updates issue.
Not necessarily, at least if you mean the OS update itself. Do a little research. This same argument pops up after every OS update. There are no exceptions -- every one of them has been blamed for all manner of post-update problem, linked to each of several different models, & everything else you have read on the Internet about this one. Users also frequently use the "clean install" argument in support of these theories that the update, whichever one it happens to be, is the only possible culprit.
The problem is these theories rarely prove to have any merit at all, & like with most such things, even when there is some merit to them, the complete explanation is more complicated. For instance, some users do a perfectly executed clean install & then ruin it by reintroducing the same bit of software that was the real problem in the first place. Some users don't know what a clean install is & mistakenly say they did one. Some eventually find & eliminate a different cause for their particular problems but never report that. Sometimes coincidence is involved -- with millions of users upgrading the chances that in some cases it is not are slim to none.
Basically, it is like anything else on the Internet. You can find something to support anything imaginable because people can imagine anything & too many of them ignore anything that doesn't support that or just don't make the effort to look for it in the first place.

OnyX for Snow Leopard, How has been your experience with it?

What is OnyX? it's in the apple download page, I know it is a maintenance tool. However I have a few questions about it, it is safe to use? Can it cause system instability? (Cache out X does that), How has been your experience with it?
I'm asking this just to know if its worth installing in my Mac, because I don't want a tool that says it will increase system performance, and then when you run it, you'll end up with an under performing system giving you a lot of error logs that take hard drive space away.
Thank You.

Yes, that was an assumption on my part that the person already knew the admin password. Should have said so to avoid confusion.
Well, if the person already knows the admin password, then he is an administrator. He can then promote his own account to admin and take over the whole machine.
Hmm. I don't see how that would work. Once you enter the admin password, you'd be able to do anything OnyX had in its feature set.
Exactly. I, as an admin user, but who uses a non-admin account for everyday use, could launch OnyX in my non-admin account, enter the admin password, and then use it. Completely secure. A non-admin user who doesn't know the admin user would still be prevented from using OnyX at all. That allows for the same level of security as exists right now, and is how all other system utilities, even ones provided by Apple, work.
We'll have to agree to disagree there. It's a good safety net for the less computer savvy. Like keeping your kids away from such utilities.
All I'm asking for is for OnyX to ask for admin credentials when being launched from a non-admin account. Then, if the non-admin user can't enter the admin password, then the program would simply quit. If an administrator is there to authenticate, then the administrator can launch and use it to maintain and/or repair the non-admin account. That is 100% completely as secure as the situation now.
But the current situation is that it will simply refuse to open at all under a non-admin account, meaning that not even an administrator can use it to repair or maintain a non-admin account. That isn't any additional layer of security. It's quite the contrary; it's preventing an administrator from administering the computer.
Right now the only workaround to get OnyX to do any maintenance on a non-admin account is to temporarily promote that account to admin. I would argue that that is a heck of a lot less secure than simply allowing an administrator to launch the app from the non-admin account without having to promote the whole account to admin.
All admin utilities provided by Apple - Software Update, all the secure System Preferences, Disk Utility, Workgroup Manager, even sudo on the command line, all allow themselves to be run from any non admin account, by an administrator who can enter the admin password. All of this conforms to Apple's security guidelines. OnyX is broken if it doesn't follow those guidelines.
The OnyX developer seems to assume that everyone runs all the time in an admin account, and it will only clear browser caches in admin accounts. The fact that Apple warns against even browsing the web while logged in to an admin account shows that the OnyX developer has a thing or two to learn about security configuration.

My imessage was working for a few days and now it wont work please help how can i fix this

my i message worked the first few days after i hooked it up and then it wouldnt work for a day at a time but now its not sending or receving at all and its been about a week how can i fix this??

Make an appointment at the nearest Apple store and see what they can do for you. Some Apple Stores can replace the screens onsite so that may be an option.
The damage will not be covered by warranty so you will have to pay to have the phone serviced or replaced entirely.

Signed up for Adobe Story Free and now my Script is gone?

I signed up for Adobe Story Free, gave a script a title and wrote a few pages to try it out. Just went back in to play with it a little more and everything is gone. The samples of work that were on the template and my work are all missing. Was this a Beta testing page? Even when I go to the deleted items, it says failed to establish connection.
Any ideas/news/answers?

You are missing two things.

TS1314 how do i find the photo cache synced my dads phone on my laptop and now his pics have gone help

im wondering if there is some way i can get them back help thanks

Syncing does not backup photos.
Backing up only backs up the photos taken with the device but is not a solution to maintaining you precious photos.
It is the user's responsibility to copy the photos taken with the device off the device to the computer. Same goes for videos taken with the device.
Media on the device has never been included in a backup.
Sorry, but if you've lost the device (or it's been stolen) and you've failed to manage your data on the device, it is gone.

X code download for snow leopard

Going to apple developer site and find the X code for snow leopard download and fail the to install.

You need Xcode 3.2. It is still available for download. The question is why anyone would want to develop for Snow Leopard, but that's your concern.

Is possible to download Xcode for Snow Leopard?

Hi all,
sorry for my English but I don't speak it very well.
I'm a programmer (small programmer ), but I'm not an expert with Mac but I want tot start to "study" the App world (just for fun )
I have a Macbook and I want to try to use Xcode. I have Snow Leopard (10.6.2) OS but I can find Xcode 4.X only for Lion OS!!!
Is possibile to download XCode 4 for Snow Leopard? And where is possible to download?
Thanks for help!

AFAIK the 3.2.6 is still available with a free Developer Account>Navigate to Developer Tools. Only question is can one still get a free developer account. I think so. Here it is: Register for free.
Xcode 3.2.6 and iOS SDK 4.3 for Snow Leopard
But very big DL at 4.1GB

Downloaded an app and now my safari keeps popping up with ads and words are hyperlinked on webpages. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi,
I was downloading Skype for mac last night, and now my safari isn't working correctly (has a lot of popups and and words are hyperlinked on my webpages I pull up now. I think I have the 'DownLite' trojan but I am unsure of how to get rid of it. I saw a post in March that Linc helped with describing how to fix it, but unfortunately, it didn't work for me (because I think mine is in a different folder but am unsure how to find it). I have the UNIX shell script diagnostic scan if needed. Can anyone help me get rid of this?? Thank you for your help!

1. If adware is installed without your knowledge,
    download free AdwareMedic by clicking “Download ” from here
     http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php
   Install , open, and run it by clicking “Scan for Adware” button   to remove adware.
   Once scanning and removing the adware is done, quit the app by clicking AdMedic in the menubar
    and selecting “Quit AdwareMedic”.
Safari
2. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
    Turn those off one by one and relaunch Safari again to test
