Reload itunes after Snow Leopard upgrade?

I recently loaded snow leopard on my Macbook.  i was 10.5.x before that.  I noticed on some programs and functions, I had to reload them to work right, including my printer drivers. 
I recently found out that since this change my ipad2 and ipod touch are no longer detected by the itunes to sync.  I know my USB ports are working, as I can hook up with external hard drives and cameras and such.
Although I am up to date with the itunes version, does this lead to the idea I will probably have to uninstall and reinstall itunes to get it to work right on snow leopard?
thanks,
Matt

Redownload iTunes 10.5 from here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1426 and install it.
Use "Software Update" from the Apple-menu to ensure you are uptodate with everything.

  • IPhone sync issue with iTunes after Snow Leopard upgrade

    I upgraded to Snow Leopard and since then iTunes does not see my iPhone 3GS and I am unable to sync. I've read the troubleshooting guide to no avail. What am I missing?

    If you are running v10.6.3 as your profile suggests, update to v10.6.8.
    Click your Apple menu / Software Update.
    Restart your Mac after the updates are installed.
    See if iTunes will recognize your iPhone.
    If your software is up to date then try here >  iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

  • Isight no longer works after snow leopard upgrade

    my isight no longer is available directly after snow leopard upgrade on my macbook black. Anyone else with the same problem? The isight does not show up in 'about this mac' under USB and I tried resetting SMC and PRAM.

    Hi,
    In Leopard there was an App called iSight Update app that was in Hard Drive/System/Library/Core Services
    This does not seem to be there in Snow Leopard.
    An issue with some computers with the camera was that in System Preferences > Displays the Colours needed to be set to Millions.
    Also check the Hard Drive/System/Library/Extensions folder and see that you have the Apple_iSight.kext (this is likely to handle the Internal iSights as well).
    One last thing.
    Some Web sites can make use of the camera using Flash.
    If that tab is still open the Browser may have use of the camera.
    It sounds like you have done computer restarts and this will not be the case unless the browser is set to go back to that page.

  • Wifi problems since 10.5.8 Update. Even after Snow Leopard Upgrade.

    Wifi problems since 10.5.8 Update. Even after Snow Leopard Upgrade.
    Is there any way to use a 10.5.7 wireless .kext files on Snow Leopard? And where can I find the files?

    Ok, I have the fix!! After several frustrating days it finally just works.
    The process:
    Upgrade your Macs to 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
    Powercycle your modem AND time capsule / airport TWICE
    Reset your time capsule with a pin or paperclip on the back
    Follow the prompts to setup your time capsule / airport access
    -- On your Macs
    Go to System Preferences > Network > Airport > Advanced > TCP/IP
    Click "Renew DHCP Lease" then click "Ok"
    Click Apply
    Turn off Airport
    Turn Airport on
    IT WORKS!!!
    One of the magical people at tech support walked me through it earlier today. The whole process took about 1.5 hrs because Show Leopard takes about an hour to install on one machine.
    Hope this helps-

  • Receiving email after Snow Leopard upgrade

    Everything works fine after Snow Leopard upgrade 10.6.2 except I cannot RECEIVE email. I have checked with Comcast and verified my settings for both incoming and outgoing POP mail.

    Hello and welcome to the Discussions.
    I had no problems of this sort when upgrading to Snow Leopard or 10.6.2. Were you already running Snow Leopard in an earlier version, or did you upgrade from Tiger (10.4.11) directly to SL 10.6.2?
    Quit Mail, and in the Finder open Home/Library/Mail. Locate any files named to include MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded. At the root level of the Mail folder you should find one named MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3, but look in each POP account folder also. There if you find any other, including MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2 delete them from each POP account folder -- they are not used in versions of Mail later than 2.1.3.
    Relaunch Mail and test.

  • Can't Print After Snow Leopard Upgrade

    I have a home network centered around an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station. The base station is wired to a Linksys network switch which, in turn, is wired to two computers - an Apple Dual G5 running OS X 10.4.11 and a and Mac MIni which, until yesterday was running Leopard. I have an HP Laserjet P1006 connected to the USB port of the AEBS and, until yesterday, everything worked fine. Yesterday, I ran the Snow Leopard Upgrade on my Mini and now the Mini won't print to the HP over the network. If I connect the printer directly to the MIni, it works fine; as soon as I reconnect the printer to the AEBS, the Mini will no longer print. The lights on the printer will flash but nothing comes out. I have downloaded the HP Printer driver update from Apple but this didn't help. I have reset the AEBS, to no avail. The G5 running Tiger has no problems with printing. And, my daughter just got a brand-new MacBook Pro loaded with Snow Leopard from the factory and she can print to the HP over the network without any problems.
    Any ideas?

    When I upgraded iMac from Leopard to Snow Leopard 10.6 it also stopped printing wirelessly to Brother MFC6490CW.
    I thought I had this same issue with my Epson printer when wireless printing. Actually, in SL, wireless printing is very slow at least with an Epson. Takes about 5 minutes or so for wireless print to even start. When checking the printing status app, it will start out saying "printer ready." Then after a few minutes it will say "looking for printer." A few minutes later it will say "printing."
    When I go into the next room where the printer is, the green light is "flashing" letting me know that "printing" has started.
    So I guess what I am trying to say is to check the printing status app after you click "print." It's possible "Brother" is just as slow as "Epson."

  • PS3 and Safari crashes after Snow Leopard upgrade

    How is everyone enjoying the crashes after their Snow Leopard upgrade? I can't save a photo using PS3, or download a photo to flickr or facebook without a crash. PS3 crashes, Safari crashes and work flow is at a crawl? Spoke with tech yesterday and they told me that this would stop if I downloaded Snow Leopard again, which I did, but the problem wasn't resolved. To top it off, I lost permissions on the iMac and can't use the computer. Please tell me where all of the accolades came from? Were the reviews done by people who actually work on their computers or by people who play on them? Oh, and another thing, lost my wireless access to the router and had to start all over. Be careful here, this has not been fun!

    Excuse me, I meant to write CS3 instead of PS3.

  • Finder search "aliases" missing after Snow Leopard upgrade

    I'm dealing with a crazy annoyance after upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard - currently running 10.6.2
    I have 2 duplicate, external, 1TB WestDig Drives. I have no problems accessing these drives from the Finder, but if I use Finder search or Smart Folders, the corresponding folders on the external drives never open on the first try. I always receive the message:
    +The alias “…” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found.+
    On the second try, search result folders open fine and I don't seem to have any further problems with a folder once it has been opened successfully from within search.
    It seems that after my Snow Leopard upgrade every search on the external drive reveals "missing" folder aliases although the "aliases" appear as regular folder icons.
    I tried re-indexing Spotlight but this did not solve the problem. I also trashed my plist files for Finder and Spotlight which didn't help either.
    External Drive volume info from Terminal:
    +drwxrwxr-x 21 782 Mar 14 17:18 PHOTOGRAPHY ARCHIVE+
    FWIW I've found others having similar problems on the Apple forums HERE and HERE. I've tried their suggested PathFinder workaround without success.
    This is driving me bonkers because it renders Smart Folders somewhat useless. Additionally, these external drives work fine on my old installation of 10.5 Leopard
    Thanks for any help!

    HI,
    Try repairing disk permissions...
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

  • ICal calendars no longer syncing to ipod using itunes after Snow Leopard

    Help! I upgraded yesterday to the new Snow Leopard and I can no longer sync my calendars to my ipod 5G. I do not have an iphone and this is the only way I can see my calendars. Did Snow Leopard "update" the calendars so that iTunes can no longer see them? I get the error message that there is no calendars available to sync, when indeed, I have 10. Please help!

    Hi, some more information...
    I worked with Apple on the phone for three hours, to no avail.
    the troubleshooting steps are as follows:
    1. deleted from HD/username/Library/Caches the "com.apple.ical folder"
    2. deleted from HD/username/Library/Preferences the file "com.apple.iCal.plist"
    3. deleted from HD/username/Library/Calendars the "Calendar Cache" file
    4. removed and reinstalled itunes
    5. "restored" ipod to factory default settings
    6. exported, deleted, and re-imported all calendars (individually)
    7. plugged in ipod and tried to sync calendars - still not working...
    This issue has been escalated up...
    After seeing many posts with ical issues with Snow Leopard, I think I am not alone...
    None of this has helped

  • Isight not working with skype and tokbox after snow leopard upgrade

    Recently, I upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard. After the upgrade, I found that my built-in iSight camera wasn't recognized on TokBox. On Skype, it said that the iSight camera was in use by another application (however no other applications were running). The iSight is working with iChat, so I don't know what is wrong... everything was fine when I was using Tiger!

    hellokitty650 wrote:
    Okay, so I restarted my computer and that didn't work.
    Then, I went through the suggestions from the link you posted. I found that the iSight works in iChat and Photobooth; however, it does not work in iMovie HD (exactly the same in both user accounts on my computer). Just like before, the iSight is "in use by another application" in Skype on both user accounts.
    I reset the SMC, but it didn't seem to help anything. Everything was acting the same as before I reset it.
    I also noticed that my iTunes and my iMovie won't open; they both quit unexpectedly every time I try to open them. This happens in both user accounts as well.
    Okay, so it will be simplest to work your issues in steps. We will start with iMovie.
    Use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions. Then reinstall iMovie HD 6. Repair permissions again after the installer finishes.
    If the version of iMovie HD 6 in your iLife '06 DVD is not "6.0.3", download and install the update:
      http://support.apple.com/kb/DL319
    If you need to do this update, repair permissions again after the update is finished.
    Test the reinstalled iMovie HD 6 to see if it works in more than one user account and post back the results.

  • Sync settings lost after Snow Leopard upgrade

    After upgrading to Snow Leopard, I wanted to sync my iPhone with iTunes again.
    But all settings were gone!
    Do I have to re-set everything, or is there a way to retrieve the previous settings?
    (I made a SuperDuper! clone of my computer's HD before the upgrade.)

    Yes, I am having the same problems.  I have no keywords or metadata showing up anywhere within my files.

  • IPad not syncing after Snow Leopard upgrade

    After upgrade to Snow Leopard, new iPad will not sync with with usb cable in iTunes.  Latest version of iTunes, restarted iPad, restarted computer, checked usb cable and nothing.

    Did you follow all of the Software updates all the way to SL 10.6.8? The same thing happened to me when I updated to SL until I updated all the way to 10.6.8.

  • Cannot Scan after Snow Leopard Upgrade

    After I upgraded to Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro & Mac Pro, I have not been able to scan from my HP Photosmart 8180 All-In-One printer. The printer works fine and I can connect to the HP for a scan; but, when I try to scan I get the same error during the scan on both computers. I have reloaded the original HP software drivers and made sure they were current prior to the above, so I need some direction on how to proceed.

    Here - this might fix it:
    * Cause *
    This issue might have occurred if you are trying to scan using the previous version HP Software and Drivers or due to the device driver/ software conflicts.
    This issue may also occur if the previous version HP Software and Drivers are conflicting with the Generic built-in Drivers that are available in Mac OS X 10.6 or due to the communication error between the Printer and the Mac Computer.
    * Information *
    The latest HP printer drivers, scan software, and utility for most of HP All-in-One Printers are included in Mac OS X 10.6 by default. So, no need to reinstall or download any HP software for full print, scan and utility functionality.
    Scanning: The Scanning interface is now built into Snow Leopard and supported with the Apple Image Capture application. Instructions follow.
    NOTE: HP Scan Pro software (from Mac OS X 10.4, 10.5) is not supported in Snow Leopard. The HP icon for HP Device Manager still in the dock after upgrade is not functional and should be removed.
    NOTE: Scan support from pushing the Scan button on the printer is not supported with this version of the scan interface built into Snow Leopard. Scan functionality is supported by scanning directly from the computer.
    * HP Full Feature Software and Drivers for Mac OS X v10.6
    However, in checking the Software and Drivers downloads page for your HP All-in-One Printer, I am glad to see that the latest version (10.3) HP Full Feature Software and Drivers are available to work with Mac OS X 10.6 Operating System for full Print and Scan Features.
    Once you install the latest version HP Full Feature Software and Drivers, you can scan using the HP Scan.App application from your Mac Computer running Mac OS X 10.6.
    * Resolution *
    In order to resolve this issue, I would request you to follow the steps provided below as they are mentioned and let us know the status of this issue.
    * Step 1: Uninstall the previous version HP Software and Drivers *

    * Scanning using the inbuilt Scan Interface
    There are three ways to perform scanning using the generic built-in Software and Drivers from your HP All-in-One Printer:
    Ø Preview program
    Ø Image Capture program
    Ø System Preferences > Print & Fax
    Important: After you open the scan interface, it is important to select the correct mode (Flatbed or Document Feeder) for the source of the scan image. Your HP All-in-One may have an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) or a flatbed lid. By default, Document Feeder will be the automatically selected Mode for any devices that have an ADF. You must select Flatbed if you want to scan directly from the glass flatbed and not the Document Feeder.
    For more information about Scanning and Image Capture, open the Help menu from Mac OS X 10.6 and type in your question.
    Method one: Scan from the Preview application
    1. Click the Apple Preview icon in the dock to open the Preview application.
    2. From the Preview File pull-down menu, choose Import from Scanner.
    3. Choose the HP Photosmart, Officejet, or Deskjet All-in-One.
    The scan interface opens. Click Show Details to view settings and options.
    Method two: Scan from the Image Capture application
    1. In the Applications folder, select and open Image Capture.
    2. In the list of devices on the left, click your HP All-in-One.
    Networked devices appear in the Shared list.
    The scan interface opens. Click Show Details to view settings and options.
    Method three: Scan from Print & Fax > Printer browser
    1. From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
    2. Click Print & Fax.
    3. In the list of printers on the left side of the dialog, select the HP All-in-One to view the options in the Print & Fax window.
    4. Click the Scan tab, and then click Open Scanner.
    The Printer Browser window appears.
    5. Click the Scan icon at top right of the toolbar to launch scanning.
    The scan interface opens. Click Show Details to view settings and options.
    Important Gotcha: If the Scan or Print icons do not appear in the Printer Browser window toolbar, you need to delete the current HP printer queue and add a new one, as follows:
    1. Close the Printer Browser window to return to the Print & Fax preference pane. Or, go directly to the System Preferences > Print & Fax pane.
    2. Select your HP printer in the list on the left.
    3. Click the - sign at the bottom of the list to delete the product from the list.
    4. Click the + sign at the bottom of the list to add the product back to the list.
    5. Select your HP printer, and then click Add to create a new print queue.
    The next time you open the Printer Browser window, the Print and Scan icons should appear in the toolbar, providing access to Image Capture.

  • Rocketfish bluetooth keyboard can't auto connect after snow leopard upgrade

    Hi,
    I have one of the newer model 2GHz Mac Mini's which I bought back in March. I've been using a Rocketfish model RF-ABTKB bluetooth keyboard (which I had been previously using on a windows system before getting the mac). Up to now, the keyboard had worked fine. Whenever I booted the mac, I'd use my bluetooth mouse to go to the bluetooth menu, scroll down to "Rocketfish Bluetooth Keyboard", and then select "connect" out of the sub menu, then would click the "connect" button on the underside of my keyboard and it would connect, every time.
    I bought Snow Leopard on Friday & upgraded my machine. Since the upgrade, I no longer see the "connect" option for the keyboard in the bluetooth menu. The only option I see now in that sub-menu for the keyboard is "Open Keyboard Preferences...". If I go to the preferences window, click "set up bluetooth keyboard" at the bottom of the window and go through the pairing process again (going through the discovery process, entering the PIN that the mac generates, etc) it pairs and works fine (I'm actually using it to type this post). If I look at the keyboard sub-menu in the bluetooth menu after it's paired/connected, the "Disconnect" option is now available. The disconnect option itself is no surprise, it had been there in the past, but I thought it's odd that I can still see the disconnect option but not the connect option.
    When I disconnect the keyboard (by either selecting that Disconnect option or by just not using it for 5 minutes & letting it go to sleep) the keyboard disconnects, the "shadow icon" fades on to the screen showing the keyboard is no longer connected, and I can go back to the bluetooth menu & still not see the same Connect option that used to be there before the upgrade.
    My generic bluetooth mouse (doesn't have a brand name) continues to work with no issues. I called the support number for Rocketfish (which is really just a consumer electronics sub-brand of Best Buy), they said that their keyboard is fully compliant with Mac OS X and if the connect option is no longer showing up for the keyboard in the bluetooth menu, Apple must have done something that changed the way the mac is handling bluetooth.
    Also, I did try removing the keyboard from the Bluetooth control panel in System Preferences and re-adding it from scratch, no change.
    Anybody have any ideas???

    Hello N:
    I suspect that there has been some sort of incompatibility introduced. However, since this is an Apple forum, I recommend that you pursue the problem with "rocketfish." If is suggested troubleshooting steps, I might confuse the issue further as I would be focussed on Apple devices.
    FWIW, no such problem has surfaced with Apple keyboards or mice. I am not trying to sell you one, I do not work for Apple.

  • Can't download files after Snow Leopard upgrade

    Hello all,
    yesterday I upgraded my leopard to snow leopard, since then I cannot download files with safari (also tried firefox, camino). When I click some link it looks like its going to start downloading but it doesn't. Most of the links are .dmg files. I have tried these steps so far but the problem still occurs.
    1) Repair the Disk Permissions.
    2) Downloaded onyx to clean the system.
    3) Cleaned the safari cache and settings, as well as the plugins directory.
    4) installed firefox and camino but they act the same.
    5) I uninstalled iGetter (if I copy the link location and add it to iGetter I can download the file).
    6) I created a new User to check if the problem was system wide or with the user account. The problem is the same in the new user account as well.
    Any ideas what to try next ?
    Thank you all in advance.
    John.
    ps: I have 10.6.2 and safari 4.04.

    Try using your OnyX to clean the LaunchSevices caches, or use Terminal.
    Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line to rebuild LaunchServices:
    Code:
    <pre class="alt2" style="margin:0px; padding:3px; border:1px inset; width:640px; height:34px; overflow:auto">/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user</pre>
    Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know
