Safari (Snow Leopard) will not link to website (pdf) files from within other pdf files

Meeting agendas (in pdf format) have 'web links' to other pdf files, but Safari says not enough info in the webaddress. But it works O.K. in Windows Explorer.

Open browser preferences
ex Safari>Preferences>Extentions and un-enable any ext that mabe interferring , ex divX
or open Help> installed Plug-ins and remove Adobe Acrobat.
if still a problem
Quit Safari.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, copy the text on the line below into the box that opens, and press return:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
A Finder window will open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open.
Launch Safari and test. Its settings will have reverted to what they were they first time you launched it. If it works as expected, recreate the settings and delete the item you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put the file you moved back where it was, overwriting the newer one created in its place.

Install Disk for Snow Leopard will not boot on an iMac 27in

My Install Disk for Snow Leopard will not boot on my iMac 27in. The Apple Logo is the only thing the user will see. The current OS on the system is 10.6.6. Upon placing the Snow Leopard DVD in the system, the DVD players spins for a few seconds and displays the Apple Logo. Nothing happens after 20 minutes.

Yes, it is ridiculous how it is impossible to install Snow Leopard. I have two Snow Leopard DVDs: one that I purchased for a Macbook soon after it's release (10.6.0), and one that came with my iMac (10.6.4). Both of these boot up my Macbook (running 10.6.7) just fine. My SL 10.6.0 DVD mounts onto my iMac (Lion 10.7.0), but you cannot run the install. I attempted to boot from this DVD and got the infinite white screen and Apple logo, as some have reported above. The other SL 10.6.4 DVD will not even mount in Lion, and will not even show up as a bootable drive when I attempt to select it after holding alt/option on reboot.
I created a bootable external drive from SL 10.6.0, attempted boot, same infinite white screen/apple logo.
I created a bootable external drive from SL 10.6.4 on my macbook. I attempted to boot from this drive, and got the white screen of death, except that this time I actually got the loading symbol underneath the Apple logo. After about a minute of attempting to boot, the Apple logo changed to a circle with a diagonal line through it (the "NO!" sign).
I took my iMac to the genius bar. They inserted SL 10.6.0, which would not boot. Then they determined that my computer had to run 10.6.4 and later. So, they restored an image of SL 10.6.4 onto my partition (not an install from an image, but an image of SL already installed). Hurray! Snow Leopard was successfully shoved onto my iMac!
I then deleted a third partition on my hard drive I did not need anymore, which somehow screwed up my SL partition (even though it said "Will not erase partition SL or Macintosh HD). Now I am back at square one, and I guess I need to take my flippin iMac back to Apple for them to do what I should be able to do.
I like Apple, but sheesh do I hate Lion right now.

Snow Leopard will not install if you do not have 1GB RAM or more

I ran into one problem when I tried to install snow leopard, The problem was I throught my Macbook had 1 GB of RAM in it, then after I my first try on install then it mentioned I did not have 1 GB of RAM, so I checked it and I only have 512 MB, so that is low and I have a 1st Generation Macbook, So now I ordered a 2 GB of RAM for my MacBook I'm waiting for the memory to arrive so I can install it into my Macbook, then I will install snow leopard.
Snow Leopard will not install if you do not have 1GB RAM or more, but if you have 1GB or more in your Macs then you will be fine

The system requirements for the OS have been public knowledge on every major tech blog, apple fan blog, apple rumor site and Apple's site for at least 4+ months. So it's not like they just decided at the 11th hour that you needed 512MB of RAM. Not to mention, just about every piece of software I've ever purchased has the system requirements printed in a very tiny print in a very un-obvious place on the packaging. So that's nothing new... for Apple and the rest of the software manufacturing world.
As the consumer, it's your responsibility to do the appropriate research (either online, over the phone or asking the sales rep) what requirements are necessary.

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.

Snow leopard will not load on MM 3,1

Trying to get (X.6) Snow Leopard to load on my son's Mini 3,1
but it keeps saying Snow leopard can not be installed.
Trying to upgrade from 10.5.8
Documentation says X.6 should load on any intel computer, and the mini is a core duo.
Any suggestion are appreciated.
AJ

Thanks for responding Sven.
Actually, it is from my other sons newer 2.4 ghz mac mini.
You would think it would work being another mac mini.
Looks like I might have to purchase the retail. Sheeezzz
I miss the everything goes old days. : )
Thanks for your help,

i also did the upgrade on my husband's macbook white, and he does not seem to have the same problem... his safari is working fine..
please help

HI,
Try Safari Maintenance
Repair 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.

Snow Leopard will not install on 2008 Intel iMac

Trying to install a purchsed copy of Snow Leopard onto an Intel iMac (2008 model). System previously on system was 10.4.11. Started the first Upgrade attempt and the upgrade stopped at 33 minutes remaining - would not progress any further.
Force power down and tried again selecting Upgrade. This time it got to 16 minutes and never went further.
Next attempt I reformatted the drive, ran Disk Utility to Repair Disk (no problems detected). The ran a full install. Stops at 16 minutes.
Tried again - Partitioned drive, erased drive, tested drive, ran installer - 15 minutes - no further.
No error messages - nothing - it just sits there.
Reset PRAM, reset SMU - same thing after another attempt.
This system was running fine under 10.4.11. We just wanted to upgrade it to 10.6 for application compatibility requirements (10.5 or higher required to run latest version of application).
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Next I'd run the AHT (Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test) - if that picks up any hardware issue then you don't need to waste any more time troubleshooting. (Run the long test in the AHT, maybe loop it overnight if you're not in a hurry)
After that I'd boot the machine in target disk mode (How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode) and boot the other machine to the install disk - you should then be able to install to the first iMacs HD, it'll show up with a firewire symbol when you "select you destination".
If still having trouble, then I'd go into disk utilty, erase tab, options and select the "zero out data"" option. Then click the erase button. This will write to every byte on the HD, so an additional test of the integrity.

Snow Leopard will not recognize camera or memory card

My Kodak DC3400 camera is not recognized by snow leopard. I have also pulled the card and used a card reader with the same results. Both the camera and reader worked until I installed snow leapord, so I know the usb connection from the camera is good.
I have also tried a different card reader with no results. This is an older camera that Kodak no longer supports so the driver is not available to download.
Any ideas why the camera and card are not recognized by snow leopard?
Thanks!

This is the problem.
Older standard card readers will not work with SDHC.
I also panicked on the same issue last summer.
Simply use the newer SDHC card reader that now come the size of a USB memory stick.
SanDisk makes a cool one I use 'MobileMate SD+'

MacPro with Snow Leopard will not boot

This morning, something odd is happening. Last night, when I sent to bed, my computer was fine, but this morning, when I tried to power it on, it tried to power up and then shut off. Does it every time. When booting from the normal start up disk, the startup chime is heard, then the apple logo appears for a few seconds, the machine clicks a few times and then shuts off.
When I hold down the option key on startup, I can see the boot drive options. So, I tried booting for a CD/DVD, but when I do, it just hangs and never boots. Disc drive spins for a second like it's trying to, but then winds down and hangs on the gray screen. However, I can boot from my Bootcamp drive (not a partition, but an actual, physical drive), and run Windows fine. Even when I try booting with Extensions off (holding Shift on boot up), it still hangs.
I've tried clearing PRAM, unplugging all USB accessories and even removing all non-essential PCI cards, and still nothing.
This is very bizarre. What would keep the Mac OS booting, but not the bootcamp stuff?
Any thoughts?
Russ

I have my system drive backed up. I tried pulling the system drive, inserting a new blank drive and booting from the Snow Leopard install disk to install the OS from scratch. It still won't boot from the DVD OSX install disk, even with the other system disk removed.
The problem seems to be that when booting from anything OSX, the system won't boot, but when booting from Bootcamp, it'll boot fine.
From the Windows side, I can see the Mac startup drive and all the files, so that disk is readable, at least. Just not bootable.
I talked to Apple tech support as well. They can't figure out either. Headed to the Genius bar this afternoon. Maybe they can figure out.

My macbook (late 2009 with snow leopard) will not update it's software!

I got a macbook for Christmas (for writing and browsing the web), and I want to update it to Mavericks, and my stats are supposed to be compatible! Any ideas why it's not updating!?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
OS X Mavericks is an upgrade you have to download from the Mac App Store, so first open  > Software Update, and install the most recent Mac OS X Snow Leopard version.
Then, open the Mac App Store and download OS X Mavericks. Make a backup of your files with Time Machine before upgrading and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

Snow Leopard will not install on Macbook Air--have spent days on this!

Hi, all!
I have tried almost 10 times to install the Snow Leopard upgrade to my MacBook Air via the remote disk and it has either frozen, quit, or disconnected each time (freezing is the most common occurrence). It takes 5 or more hours to get to that point. The computer with the disk in it is a MacBook (Intel), and both computers have plenty of space available and are running on the same secure wireless network, so there shouldn't be a problem. (I have installed applications between these two computers before.)
This is incredibly frustrating, so any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Lisa

It's highly likely that your wireless network is the problem. Normally I'd recommend grabbing a couple pieces of CAT5 and hooking both machines up via wired network temporarily but that's not an option with the Air.
You could try at least connecting the MacBook via wire, eliminating at least half the wireless contention (turn off the wireless on it to be sure you're using the wire). Since you've already tried 10 times, an 11th probably isn't out of the question.

Snow Leopard will not load or install

I need lots of help.
Bought the Snow Leopard Box Set.
Load the DVD only to have it eject after it spins 3 times.
Cleaned the optical drive, tried other cds and dvds - they work.
Even loaded the iWork DVD from the box set - that loaded but wouldn't install.
Was told to download the Combo Update from Apple. Have the .dmg file sitting on the desktop but that won't install.
Repaired permissions.
Tried it all again, same result.
Don't have the original start up discs - anyway to erase the HD with out them and then do a clean install?
Any and all advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark

Were you having any issues with your computer before you decided to purchase Snow Leopard? It is my observation on these forums that people are sometimes motivated to buy SL because they are having issues with their current setup.
You say you downloaded the Combo Update but it won't install. Exactly what Combo Update are you talking about? Surely you are not talking about the Snow Leopard Combo Updater, right?
It is certainly possible your problem is simply you have a bad SL install disc. You wouldn't be the first. Where did you buy the SL Box Set? Does Montana even have an Apple Store?
