Scanning Problem post Snow Leopard Upgrade?

I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and I have discovered I can't use the scan feature on my HP Photosmart 3200 series All-in-One printer. It might be a coincidence but prior to that I had no problem as long as I used a USB connection. All other printing functions work fine (via bluetooth). I am getting a message saying that "scanner could not be initialized (scanner could not be found)." Otherwise the printer is working fine. Any advice on how I could resolve this, I have looked in Troubleshooting Section and nothing seems to apply.

I have been on the HP website and found a driver download suitable for Snow Leopard. Very confusing because I now have to operate the scan process from the HP Printer and not the iMAC as previously. However, that said it is much quicker as multiple pages can be scanned faster. I then had problems with saving the scans to appropriate document folder via Preview - couldn't do this. I have to do this via the HP Viewer software which is fine but it took an age to work it all out. The problem of scanning is resolved but there is still a problem saving complete scanned documents but I have a "workaround" for now. Thanks for the helpful tips.

  • Cupsd failing post snow leopard upgrade directly causing Excel to not start

    This is possibly a FYI more than anything else... but I'm including it for google purposes! ;o)
    Upgraded to Snow Leopard... had a few problems... sorted most out.
    However, I had a huge problem where the whole Microsoft Office suite was not starting correctly!!!
    For example, Excel was refusing to start at all.
    Tried for hours... no joy.
    Looking at logs found a regular cupsd crash... so tried to fix that.
    Fixed it with the details from this other thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2151368&tstart=0
    As soon as I fixed the cupsd problem... the whole Microsoft Office suite sprang into life!!!
    Result...!
    Now logged within this forum for other googling customers.

    FCS3 was installed about two weeks ago. and SL on the day of release
    Post SL install I launched FCP7 with a complete launch failure and straight into a crash report.
    Post a full reboot I retried and launched FCP7 with no problems
    Since then I have downloaded a trial version of Red Giants 'Magic Bullet Quick Looks' and although it worked, it did crash a couple of times and seemed disjointed (not a very fluid plugin I trying to say) but always restarted.
    The problem is that I wanted to test my applications in 64bit so I booted into the 64bit by pressing the '6' and '4' keys during boot up.
    FCP7 on launch went straight into the crash report. Following that I have tried booting back into 32bit with no success.
    Didn't know how much of the thread 0 you wanted hope this helps?
    Thank you in advance

  • Problem with Snow Leopard upgrade

    Just upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and can't open anything.  Application freezes up and I get the whirly color wheel

    Do you know any solution for an iMac9,1 OS X intel core 2 duo, 2.66Ghz? After updates installed for my Snow Leopard which I bought with disc a lot of problems started with it. Sorry I don't know were to post these. This is the nearest I think I got to. I cant back up pictures I downloaded from my camera in my Mac, Every-time i shut it down when i open it, it goes back to default settings like for example my pen and mute sound at start up. Hope someone can help me find solution I am a mother of two and don't have much time to reach and search to solve things. Hope one can help me out. Thanks in advance.

  • Wiki problems after Snow Leopard Upgrade

    Hi,
    I upgraded an XServe running 10.5.(whatever the last version was) to Snow Leopard Server using a 10.6.3 retail disc.
    At the end of the install I was given a message saying:
    The following actions failed or were not attempted:
    Setting locale
    Upgrading Services
    To be honest the server seems mostly ok - but I have a few problems with the Wiki and Blogs:
    When I go to http://myserver/groups I get what looks like the old Leopard groups home page - but it looks like its missing a stylesheet somewhere (although there are no errors in the web debugger)
    When I click a link to view a group I get a javascript popup with the error:
    The versions of the server and UI don’t match. Try clicking Reload; if that doesn't work, please make sure both server components are up-to-date.
    Client: 20100118.dw01
    Server: WikiServerUI-201
    I had hoped that a Software Update would sort it out but I've installed all the available updates and still have the problems above.
    I'm guessing that the wiki/blog problems are related to the failed "Upgrading Services" message, so how do I go about running the upgrade manually?
    Thanks,
    Ash

    Any advice out there? I've even taken bypassed my main Extreme base to plug the ethernet connection directly into the Mac desktop to do software updates that might have been missed by going through the Extreme and wifi. While it did install one security update, it didn't affect the Express units.
    I'm wondering about firmware. I have checked over and over for software updates, and my system assures me that everything is up to date. However, I'm concerned that somehow I'm missing a firmware update. My Airport Utility tells me my Extreme is running on Version 5.7, and on the few times one of the Express units shows up, it shows as running Version 6.#.
    Do I need to manually install a firmware update, and if so, how? I terrified that I will mess up the ONE wifi unit that is functioning.
    Ironically, my Extreme base is the oldest in my batch-both of the Express units are newer than it.

  • Ipod charging problem since Snow Leopard upgrade..

    Hi,
    I usually charge my ipod through the keyboard usb port on my aluminium imac, but since i upgraded to Snow Leopard the ipod is now flattened ??
    The ipod shows the charging ipod and functions correctly in itunes, its just flat if left connected overnight..
    Anyone else having this problem ?

    Those keyboards are notoriously underpowered. Does it charge correctly if you plug it directly into the Mac?
    Is the machine set to sleep?

  • Problems w/MS Office 2008 & Google Earth Ever Since Snow Leopard "Upgrade"

    I probably should have checked this forum before taking my son's advice to upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6. Ever since this upgrade, I've had repeated and frustrating problems with two applications: MS Office 2008 for the Mac and Google Earth for the Mac.
    Note that I did an "in-place" upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard, i.e., I inserted the installation DVD into my iMac and then double-clicked on "Install Mac OS X".
    Office 2008: Ever since the Snow Leopard upgrade, MS Office 2008 has been crashing. Typically, it's Entourage crashing when a crash does occur because that's the office app that I run 95% of the time. However, whenever Entourage crashes and I try to launch Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, they won't launch either... The icons will bounce a few times in the dock but won't run. (The Entourage crash is the only Office App that actually generates a crash window.) Note that there are two identities configured on my iMac, both of which which use Entourage. The key thing about this situation is that when the Office 2008 crash does occur, restarting the iMac ALWAYS resolves the problem until the next time a crash occurs. I've tried to determine what combination of events, i.e., apps open/being used in either/both identities, etc. is the trigger, but I can't find anything obvious. Sometimes I can use the iMac for a whole day without a crash, but that's unusual. If Entourage is left open in both identities, maybe a couple of days will pass without a crash, but invariably it happens again, and then it's reboot time again. In cases where Entourage is left running (in one or both identities), we will still eventually get a crash in one of them if one of us tries to open a WinWord attachment (with a "Not enough memory to run Word" error). If at that point I close Entourage and try to restart it, it crashes. I've tried everything I could find on the Office for the Mac forums, including deleting duplicate fonts, doing a safe start-up, fixing disk permissions via Disk Utility, zapping the PRAM, turning filing sharing off then on (including deleting everything listed in the Shared Folders section), logging out/logging back in, etc., all to no avail. One of the Office 2008 for the Mac forum contributors suggested that the problem was with my Snow Leopard Install, but then a contributor to another more general Apple forum blames Office for Mac. (This is exactly the sort of finger-pointing exercise that I'd hoped to avoid when I made the plunge from being a long-time Windows user to becoming an OS X user...; - )
    Google Earth: This just flat-out WILL NOT RUN ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard. When I try to run it, it bounces in the dock for about a minute then just stops, staying fixed to the dock until I do a Force-Quit. (I don't have it permanently tethered to the dock since I only use it occasionally.) I've tried deleting/reinstalling, including Google Earth's suggestions to remove files from my identity's Google Earth folder in the Library folder, but no dice.
    My take on all of this is that despite all of Apple's advertising to the contrary, their OS (including updates to their OS) isn't necessarily as trouble-free/stable as their anti-Windows spots would have you believe. Sorry for this long post, but any help would be much appreciated.

    I left my system running all day in 64-bit kernel mode. (I left Entourage running the whole time.) Just now closed Entourage and tried reopening it. Same deal with Google Earth. They both crashed. Here's a screen paste of the entire Microsoft crash log for Entourage:

  • 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-

    High running Temperature
    Specification
    iMac 27 inch
    Mac OS X  Includes Software Snow Leopard upgraded to Mountain Lion  OS X 10.8.03 (1278)
    251 GB Flash Drive

    Processor 3.4 Ghz Intel Core I7
    Memory 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6970 2048 MB
    Video: Software Final Cut Pro X  10.0.8
    I use the imac mainly for editing Video which when doing so it has reached temperatures of near to 60° C which causes the program to become unstable and needs to be cooled down to operate correctly.
    An Apple technician (by phone) advised me to download an smcfancontrol.  This allows each individual fan to increase speed and also advises the current temperature at °C.  The smcfancontrol has been downloaded but this has not resolved the problem.  By increasing the speed of the fan more heat is generated and creates additional noise. 
    I have since taken the iMac to an Apple Store for examination as suggested by APPLECARE when the fans were found to be working correctly.  An Apple Store technician carried out a test, but not whilst working under the pressure of FINAL CUT PRO when the iMac generates a high temperature.
    The Temperature Specification  for this model is
    Operating Temperature 20 °c to 35°C
    Storage Temp.47°c
    Clearly the temperature my iMac  is operating at is excessive and could cause the computer to break down prematurely.  Has anyone experienced this problem.

    When was the last time you cleaned/vacuumed out all of your iMac's vents, slots and ports.
    You need to do this with the iMac powered down, disconnected from power and everything disconnected.
    Lay your iMac, screen down, on a soft surface, like a heavy towel. Use a small electronics vac, or portable or full size vac with hose and a crevice tool attachment and carefully and slowly vacuum every vent, slot and port on your iMac.
    Then reconnect everything up, power up and download and install iStat Pro. Start working, then report the temps of your iMac after this has been done.
    When using SMCFan Control, it is important not to run the fans at too high an RPM. This doesn't generate heat on its own, but will suck in more dust, lint and dirt into your iMac, and that will be the cause of additonal increases in heat.
    I run my fans in the range of 1400-1600 RPMs. You can go as high as 1800 RPMs but it is important to keep the RPM range below either 1800 or below 2000 RPMs.
    I, also, run a very small desktop fan pointed toward the upper back of my iMac to keep temps down even further.

  • 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.

  • Snow Leopard - Bento 2.0v5 - Lost record data on Snow Leopard Upgrade

    Any thoughts on this one: After an update to Snow Leopard 10.6 and 10.6.1, the data entered in Bento fields associated with contact names in Address Book are no longer available (only 10 of 300 or more records are still available) In addition, the categories associated with names in Address Book have no records in the associated categories in Bento. Further, this problem exists for all of my backup copies of Bento. (i.e. it appears the only way to go recover this might be to go back to a full computer backup recovery from prior to 10.6. I hypothesis that the links between individual records in Bento and Address Book have somehow become corrupted or broken. Therefore the data may well exist in Bento but it is not retrievable. This could be because Bento might believes incorrectly that the original AddressBook record was deleted. Just to confuse things a bit, another possible source of the problem may be because AddressBook is synchronized with other computers and Google. However, post my upgrades to 10.6, all these other accounts were download from the main computer on which Bento resides. A minor Address Book - Mail bug is possibly related. That is that when I "add to Address Book" by ctl-clicking an email address in Mail, this email address apparently added but it is often not found in Address Book. At times it comes shows up later but often it just disappears entirely.

    I have gotten a little closer to the problem. It appears that the update to SnowLeopard is not the problem. Rather syncing might be the culprit. I sync AddressBook with MobileMe and Google. The latter was as addition immediately after the Snow Leopard upgrade. I did clean out the GMail address book prior to syncing. Recently, I noticed some duplicate records in AddressBook. Some at least had two middle initials with periods. It appears there is a different format for this cell in the two systems. In one record they showed with no space and in the other with a space between the first period and the second letter.
    I was able to recover my AddressBook data. All the records had an update date from my first syncing after adding GMail. The old records had a mix of dates. I just went back to the date with mixed dates. After recovering the records and turning off syncing, Bento is working just fine and all old data is displayed.

  • IMovie Viewer issues Post Snow Leopard install

    Hi,
    I just fired up iMovie (09) after upgrading OS to Snow Leopard (newer iMac bought 4 months ago). I no longer see the project video in the viewer. The "raw" movies in Event Library play fine, but when trying to play the movie in the project library, I only get audio. If viewing in full screen mode, all is well. If i go back and press space bar from project Library, only audio.
    All worked fin prior to the snow leopard upgrade. Anybody know what is happening and how I can preview my movies from the project library again?
    Thx !
    Glenn

    Yes, we've been having quite a few issues since the upgrade, too. Now correlation does not equal causation, so I can't say for sure that Snow Leopard is the problem. All I know it that all this stuff started happening afterword.
    Here is the thread in which I posted my issues, some of which are quite similar to the those of Jay_S:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2141045&tstart=15
    Jay, the solution to your problem recommended by an Apple Expert seemed to fix things, so you might want to take a look. It's in the third paragraph.

  • Update Flash after doing Snow Leopard upgrade

    Just as an FYI: I upgraded from 10.5.8 to 10.6 this morning. Before the upgrade I had the latest version of Flash (10,0,32,18). After the upgrade I had an earlier one--I don't remember which one exactly, but it was something like 10,0,23,? or so. You can check your Flash version here:
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    Anyway, be sure to update Flash after you do the Snow Leopard upgrade.

    Sounds like you've damaged your system by forcing it to quit and restart in the middle of installing. You probably also had something wrong with your machine that was interfering with the installation in the first place, as the Snow Leopard installer is ordinarily pretty good at failing without damaging anything if something causes it to fail.
    I would advise [repairing the hard drive with Disk Utility|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417]. If that fails, you'll need to erase and repartition the hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard from scratch. If repair works, but you still can't boot, you probably have corruption in important system files. You could try installing Snow Leopard over it at this point, while booted from the Snow Leopard disk. If repair shows no problems, post back here, as you've got something a little more exotic than simple hard disk damage going on.
    Do you have a backup? If not, it's possible all your data might be gone at this point, depending on what exactly has gone wrong with your computer. You can try to back up from Disk Utility running from the Mac OS X install disk... see the Restore tab. You'll need an external hard drive to which to copy.

  • 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."

  • 13" MBP Mid 09 Battery problems with snow leopard

    Last night i decided to upgrade my wifes 09 macbook from the stock 160GB harddisk to an Intel 320 series HDD.
    I had gotten the Snow Leopard upgrade when i bought the mac in 09, but never bothered to install it. (Leopard worked just fine for my wifes non sophistcated needs)
    So I did a timemachine backup, swapped out the HDD for the SSD and installed 10.6
    Prior to the update, the battery would hold a charge perfectly well, and charge like it should.  As soon as i booted 10.6 I noticed the battery status said not charging and the indicator light on the charger wasnt on.
    I reset the PRAM, then the SMC, did all my updates, and nothing changed. Still no charge.
    So I reswapped out the HDD back in to the macbook,  As soon as i booted it, it said calculating charge time, 20 seconds later, it was charging.
    The battery in 10.5 and 10.6 report OK health, with 260 or so cycles. The battery problems are ONLY in 10.6.
    HELP!

    Try reinstalling Snow Leopard:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
