Screen Share Snow Leopard No longer works

Please help!!
I used to have no problem sharing screens from my Mac Pro running 10.6.6 with my Mac Pro Book running 10.6.8. When I upgraded my tower to 10.6.8 screen sharing ceased to work as did internet sharing over the eathernet port. I am able to log in and grab files but not share screen or internet. WHAT DO I DO? This is a big problem for my work flow.

I don't know the answer to this sepcific problem, but often these are caused by changes in preference file formats.
Tearing down the authorization for Internet Sharing and/or Screen Sharing and setting it up again may change something that makes it work again.

Greetings: I have just acquired an older mini mac (2006 1.66 ghz core 2 duo) Anyway, it had Tiger 10.4 on it and the Bluetooth worked. I upgraded to Snow Leopard and everything works fine - except Bluetooth. The Bluetooth icon isn't there. Any ideas?

Greetings:
I have just acquired an older mini mac (2006 1.66 ghz core 2 duo) Anyway, it had Tiger 10.4 on it and the Bluetooth worked for the wireless Apple keyboard and mouse. I upgraded to Snow Leopard and everything works fine - everything except Bluetooth.
The Bluetooth icon does not exist in the System Preferenc screen.
I tried to download Bluetooth from Apple site but the message I got told me that I didn't need it.
Under Finder, Utilities, I found Bluetooth File Exchange but the message I got was that I had to connect a Bluetooth device to my computer.
I have to admit that I have no idea what's going on here. I am hoping to avert the need to try another complete re-install of Snow Leopard.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Puzzled is a polite word for it.
Thanks Barry - I found the file and trie to send it to trash. The response: (This item cannot be trashed as it it owned by the system).
After dancing around with PRAM and SMC and turning on while holding the power-cntrl-option-shift and heavens knows what else, I now have the Bluetooth symbol on the top of the menu bar but it is ghoseted and has a squiggly line through it. This, I didn't have before so I read this as some progress. It notes that "Bluetooth is not available">
However, the Bluetooth icon is still missing from the System Preferences window - you know, between "network" and "sharing".
You note that you reckon the issue is not software based and you may be correct. The reason that I wonder about that though, is that before I installed Snow Leopard, the keyboard and mouse both paired with the box under the Tiger 10.4. That leads me to conclude that hardware is functional and that there is some screwy little bit of software that is not cooperating.
If I could delete Bluetooth from the system and re-install a fresh version, that might help. Or, is there a way I can use the Snow Leopard install disc and only load in Bluetooth?
I'm stumped.
Thanks for your time

How to record the screen in snow leopard ?

how to record the screen in snow leopard ?

Must I find it myself !
Well you could try Google :-)
I am unsure if you want a static image, or a movie recording of what you are doing on your screen.
Images can be done using Command-Shift-3, Command-Shift-4, and Command-Shift-4-Space.
3rd party utilities such as Skitch will allow you to annotate the image after you capture it.
Making a movie of your screen activities can be done usng Applications -> Quicktime
There are 3rd party screen records such as Snapz Pro, ScreenSteps, etc...
And of course you can do a Google search.

After upgrading to snow leopard my charger works intermittently, could this be a software issue or just a coincidence

After upgrading to snow leopard my charger works intermittently, could this be a software issue or just a coincidence

Very likely this is a coincidence. Have you tried resetting your System Management Controller? That would be the best first step for any issue that has to do with power.
Best of luck.

My I phone calendar does not communicate with my I Mac. I called support an they said you need to buy Lion, snow leopard no longer supports this. Can this be right? It has always worked before.

calendar events on I phone does not show up on my I mac.

You need to move to Windows 7, because Apple is now releasing a new OS X version annually and it's playing havoc with people's hardware and software.
Windows 7 will get support until 2020, that's 8 years of software stability, however you do need to make System Restore disks, boot disk and another on a hard drive to self restore (like TimeMachine is for OS X)
Apple has no plans to change their currrent behavior as all they care about is selling new hardware with a shiny new OS X verison on it.
If you wait to move, what will happen is you'll lose that full 8 years and will have to swtich to a newer Windows sooner
Windows 7 machines are still widely avaialble, despite Windows 8 (a failure) being pushed currently.
Running three OS X operating systems on one machine is quite a chore reserved for only seasoned computer geeks, then it's only going to last X months as the next OS X version will be released, then the next a year after that.
Another method would be to get a virtual machine software (virtualbox is free) and install Windows 7 into that to ease your transitition if you cant' spring for a Windows 7 machine, preferablly a tower that will last a long time.
Here is a method to run Snow Leopard in Parallels, however it's a unapproced hack and not for the comptuer newbie.
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
We have no control over Apple's OS X release cycle, nor the third party developers who make their own decisions what to support.
Our only choice as users to stop using both products and seek software/hardware stability.

Mac book pro is stuck on installing snow leopard. won't work.

i recently was mucking around with my mac book pro and soon found my self stcuk with the installation of the 'snow leopard mac OS X' no matter what i did it just wouldn't go away, all i wanted was for my laptop to just go back to normal and get back to what i had been doing only a few hours ago but nope nothing, not even the snow leopard would download to finish things off. so i contacted apple support whom we spent about an hour chatting with. that was basically hopeless, they were very nice but they just didn't know what they were doing, and best of all they wanted to charge me. so at the very ending when they told me that my hard drive was fried and there was absolutely nothing i could do but to get it taken to an apple store and pay for them to replace my hard drive i asked them if i should do the online repair thing, and he told me no i shouldn't its just a waste of time and it won't work. so i neglected him told him a thank you and guess what, i got it to work. now my laptop is good as new and i didn't need to pay to get the hard drive replaced. lol. ok so for the people who are facing this oh my gosh its such a headache but we can do thins. so write these steps down and i promise they will work and you don't need to pay to get your perfectly fine hard drive replaced. ok so shut down your laptop completely. then when its completely off. hold don't the command button and R hold them both down and then at the same time press the on button keep holding them, you can take your finger off the on button but keep the others on the command and R until a white screen appears it will ask for wifi and then it will reset everything for you like when you first got your laptop. just follow through the instructions they give you and all is well. i hope this was help full for you if this happens.! (btw i can't remember if it was command and R or the option, alt button and R but just try the command one first and if that doesn't work then the other one)

Accessing NFS mounted share in Finder no longer works in 10.5.3+

I have setup an automounted NFS share previously with Leopard against a RHEL 5 server at the office. I had to go through a few loops to punch a hole through the appfirewall to get the share accessible in the Finder.
A few months later when I returned to the office after a consultancy stint and upgrades to 10.5.3 and 10.5.4 the NFS mount no longer works. I have investigated it today and I can't get it to run even with the appfirewall disabled.
I've been doing some troubleshooting, and the interaction between the statd, lockd and perhaps the portmap seem a bit fishy, even with the appfirewall disabled. Both the statd and lockd complains that they can not register; lockd once and statd indefinitely.
Jul 2 15:17:10 ySubmarine com.apple.statd[521]: rpc.statd: unable to register (SM_PROG, SM_VERS, UDP)
Jul 2 15:17:10 ySubmarine com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.statd[521]): Exited with exit code: 1
Jul 2 15:17:10 ySubmarine com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.statd): Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
... and rpcinfo -p gets connection refused unless I start portmap using the launchctl utility.
This may be a bit obscure, and I'm not exactly an expert of NFS, so I wonder if someone else stumbled across this, and can point me in the right direction?
Johan

Sorry for my late response, but I have finally got around to some trial and error. I can mount the share using mount_nfs (but need to use sudo), and it shows up as a mounted disk in the Finder. However, when I start to browse a directory on the share that I can write to, I end up with the lockd and statd failures.
$ mount_nfs -o resvport xxxx:/home /Users/yyyy/xxxx-home
mount_nfs: /Users/yyyy/xxxx-home: Permission denied
$ sudo mount_nfs -o resvport xxxx:/home /Users/yyyy/xxxx-home

I guess that the Finder somehow triggers file locking over NFS.

Screen Sharing - Snow Leopard to Lion

Does anyone know if you can use a Snow Leopard Machine to view the screen (Screen Sharing) of a Lion Machine? By utilizing Screen Sharing could I manipulate the a Lion Machine from a Snow Leopard Machine?
Thanks.

It definitely works the other way; my computer can control my husband's MacBook that's still running Snow Leopard.
I tried to update his MacBook this morinng and got a message that he doesn't have enough memory. Whoops! Had to order some tonight!

Tiger to Snow Leopard upgrade not working out

I bought the Mac Box set over the weekend and tried to install it yesterday. We were running - I think - 10.4.7, and wanted to upgrade to 10.6 in order to run some game apps our kids got recently. Right from the get go, things did not go well. On installing the OS, I repeatedly got an "Installer quit unexpectedly" message. We tried rebooting but it just kept doing the same thing - Installer quit unexpectedly. After a few minutes, we realized that the OS did in fact install OK, but all the other Optional Install materials were not installing. So, it seems, the QuickTime update and anything else included was not installing. They still won't. The iLife and iWork packages won't install. And aside from Firefox, all our apps are not working now. I don't mind reinstalling the apps - but nothing will install!!! Should I uninstall 10.6 and try again? Not sure what to do at this point.

For an install of Snow Leopard (as opposed to updating it), I would not worry about updating the previous OS version nor about repairing that version's permissions. The Snow Leopard installer is much different from previous ones & does little more than test the target drive & write some pre-install files to it before rebooting from the DVD's copy of Snow Leopard, which it does as root user. And if it can't do those pre-install steps, it quits with an error before rebooting from the DVD.
So, if it successfully reboots from the DVD, permissions on the target HD are irrelevant (because root user has essentially unlimited access to the HD's files, even to the few that can be changed only when starting up as root user) & the old OS version even more so because it is completely replaced by the new one.
Also, it is not necessary to run fsck or Disk Utility's 'repair disk' step if the installer successfully reboots from the DVD because one of the pre-install steps does exactly the same thing as Disk Utility's 'verify disk' step, so if it gets this far, you know the corresponding repair would find nothing to do.
If it gets this far & you get an "Installer quit unexpectedly" message before the final reboot into the login screen, you probably have one of the following problems:
• A hardware issue of some kind, including a defect in the optical drive that prevents it from reading all the files on the DVD accurately, one or more substandard or out-of-spec memory modules (especially if any are 'generic' aftermarket ones), or in some subsystem of the Mac (graphics processor, power supply, whatever). Running the Apple Hardware Test from your original gray installer disc will often (but not always) detect this kind of problem.
• A defective, scratched, or dirty Snow Leopard installer disc. This is particularly a likely cause if the installer quits at about the same point in the process each time. Visually check it carefully for any signs of damage or contamination & if possible test it with another Mac.
• An attached peripheral that is interfering with the install process. Disconnect all but the essential ones (keyboard & mouse for an iMac) & connect them in the recommended way: keyboard to a USB port on the Mac & mouse into a keyboard port if they are wired. Then try running the installer again. Note: this does not apply to a network connection to the Internet, which is used in the pre-install phase to try to contact Apple's list of incompatible software & update what is on the DVD's list.
• A nearly full HD. The pre-install tests do include a check for enough space for the installation but since this is not completely predictable there is small chance the installation process will run out of scratch space to assemble files if you are very near the calculated limit. The installer typically needs about 6 GB of free HD space for this, so try to free up an additional several GB if you are close to this limit before doing the install. However, note that the final OS installed will need at least this much scratch space once it is running, so plan accordingly. 10 to 15% of the total drive capacity is a rule of thumb many recommend.
There are other issues to consider if the process completes & reboots into the login screen but that doesn't sound like what's happening here.

Blue screen on snow leopard

I have Blue Screen on my OS X Snow Leopard ...Please help !!

Sounds like it's stopping before showing the desktop. Things to try.
1) Restart and immediately hold down the Command+Option+P+R keys. Keep holding them through two or three startup chimes. Let go of the keys and let the Mac start normally.
2) Restart and immediately hold down the Shift key to boot into Safe Mode. If it works, a progress bar will appear towards the bottom center of the screen. You can let go of the key. Once at the desktop, restart again normally.

IMac with Snow Leopard doesn t work without second display connected

Hi,
I've a iMac 24" and I would like to resell it urgently.
But I've a big problem, if I disconnect my second display (belinea 20"), the iMac screen become grey or blue after many second.
If I boot system, after the grey clock : nothing, grey or black screen.
The Os is snow leopard disc, update version (10.6)
The iMac version is iMa8,1
The EFI bios is : IM81.00c1.b00
I tried :
Reinstall with format
Utility disc on boot cd (scan disk & rights repair)
Even when I try to boot cd without second screen, I ve white screen
(after a update to 10.6.4)
Help me please

Hi Tony,
I don't how these instructions are the same, here is what the article says:
_Resetting PRAM and NVRAM_
• Shut down the computer.
• Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
• Turn on the computer.
• Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
• Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
• Release the keys.
Your original post said *"Restart the mac and depress the alt, command, P and R keys simultaneously. You should hear the boot chime. Keep the keys depressed until you hear the boot chime a further three times. On the final boot chime release the keys and let the mac boot normally."* How I understand your post that totals 4 chimes vs. the 2 Apple specifies. Am I missing something?

MacBook Spring 2010 Snow Leopard won't work with External Samsung Monitor

Hi,
I have a MacBook I purchased about a month ago and it's not working with my Samsung SyncMaster 940 BW. I am using Mini DisplayPort out with a Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adaptor which goes into my SyncMaster Monitor. I have tried rebooting, and also playing around with my laptop resolution, but otherwise I have no idea what to do about this.
I've read on the discussions that this is a known Snow-Leopard issue but I thought I might post to see if this has been resolved. I run all the updates but the monitor still isn't working?

A better place to post would be in the The MacBook Pro Display (2008 and Later) forum:

Can't get snow leopard disk to work, can I put it on a thumb drive

I just replaced the power supply in my 2006 iMac. I need to update my operating system to Snow Leopard and have the disk, but I can't get the disk to work. It is brand new. Can I somehow make a copy of the disk, on another computer, and put it on a thumb drive? I'm grasping at straws here.
Thanks,
Thia

Hi, yes you can, either in Disk Utility on a Mac... make a DMG of that Install Disk, the use DU to Restore that DMG to a big enough flash drive, or...

Gray screen troubleshooting snow leopard disk eject

My Mac Pro starts up to a gray screen. I've gone through the steps to troubleshoot it and am currently at the level of trying to start the computer from the Snow Leopard installation disk. The computer ejects the disk during the boot process and nothing seems to change. I can only start the computer in Safe Mode. What can I do next?

I also have a Late 2006 Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook. Technically a MacBook 2,1 with Boot ROM MB21.00A5.B07. My keyboard has "alt" printed at the top of the "option" key.
I had no problems installing Snow Leopard by booting from the DVD (clean install). This is what Disc Burning states in System Profiler with no disc inserted. You omitted the first line with the model number so might have a different drive model.
