Server tools not working on Snow Leopard

I just upgraded my home Intel Mac Pro from 10.4 to 10.6, and downloaded the 10.6.4 Server tools from the website (WorkGroup manager, Server Admin, Server monitor, etc.). Our Xserve is 10.6.4 also, so there shouldn't be any incompatibility (like there was when I wanted to manage the 10.6 server from my 10.4 machine). But when I double-click on any of these apps, nothing happens - something flashes through the dock once and then nothing (like when you try to run a 10.6 app in 10.4). No error, but no running apps either. What am I missing - why don't these run here? Is there a better URL to download them?
thanks,
Mike

Hey, I fixed it! I remembered (by trying in Firefox, where it works, by the way) that the Youtube Bulk video uploader uses Google Gears. I noticed that Safari had Gears 0.5.30.0 while the latest version I just installed for Firefox was Gears 0.5.32.0. I googled and found an old bug report somewhere saying that in a Snow Leopard beta, Gears worked in Firefox but not Safari, so I knew I was on the right track.
I tried to upgrade Gears in Safari by going to http://gears.google.com, but it did not display anything about which version I had or how to upgrade (as it does in Firefox) although if I looked at the page source I could see the text 'Your Gears installation is too old and needs to be upgraded'. So in the end I just deinstalled Gears (follow the instructions under 'If you need to remove a plug-in' in Safari help) and now I have the button back to upload a video, instead of just 'Loading...' I haven't tried it yet but it looks promising.

    HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install
    Reinstalling etc does not work - does anyone else have the same problem or a clue as to how to fix this?

    Keith,
    I got a C6280 and the scanner does not work anymore. I am for 6 days in contact with HP. The last printer driver install form the apple web site does not open the image of HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.dmg because of an invalid checksum. The skipping of the validation gives and error in the install.

  • WxPerl not working in snow leopard

    Hello,
    wxPerl seems to be not working in Snow Leopard.
    The command:
    wxPerl -e "use Wx;"
    Gives:
    Can't find 'boot_Wx' symbol in /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/Wx/Wx.bundle
    at -e line 1
    Compilation failed in require at -e line 1.
    BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.
    Is this a known bug ? Is there a work-around ?
    Regards.

    Thanks!
    I did both of what you suggested (and provided very detailed specifics of the wxPerl broken code) and was told:
    1st Case (Feedback): No response to my feedback
    2nd Case (ADC bug report): No response after obtaining an ADC account and filing a bug report
    Next, I wrote a letter to Apple, addressed to the "Macintosh Software Development Manager," providing details of the wxPerl broken code problem, the "Problem Details and System Configuration" error log from one of the many failures while trying to launch the TivoTool 0.7.0 application, remarked on the length of time that this wxPerl code has been broken (broken in 10.5.x & 10.6.x software releases) and detailing how this is disabling the TivoTool application and any other user that is dependent on wxPerl functioning. I asked that a trouble report be opened, the problem resolved, and the fix be made part of a software update. Additionally, I requested an estimated date for this resolution to be included in a software update.
    I also sent a copy of this letter and enclosures, along with a cover letter, respectively addressed to Mr. Steve Jobs, asking that he provide the proper resources to clear this long time defective code.
    Within a couple of weeks (on March 5, 2010) I received a telephone call from an Apple Executive Contact (named "Nate"), due to the letter addressed to Mr. Jobs. After gathering details on the broken wxPerl code, he promised to contact the software development folks and get back to me with his findings. Within a week of this initial contact, he again telephoned (on March 9, 2010) to say that he had contacted the software development folks, provided the information from my broken wxPerl report, that a trouble ticket was opened on the wxPerl broken code problem, and that the wxPerl broken code problem appeared to be a "low runner," e.g. not many users had reported the wxPerl broken code. Additionally, since the broken code was a "low runner," there was no target date to fix the wxPerl broken functionality.
    He suggested, until the wxPerl broken functionality was resolved, that I might want to keep a 10.4.x System hard drive available, so that when I needed the wxPerl functionality, I could boot my Mac under 10.4.x, perform my wxPerl work (e.g. use TivoTool), and then re-boot again later, under 10.6.x to use the TivoTool obtained files.
    He also suggested that I make sure that the Software Update System Preference be enabled to automatically check for updates ("Scheduled Check" tab). He added that I shouldn't rule out that the wxPerl broken code functionality might one day be resolved through a Software Update.
    I was given a case number, for future reference and to allow me to check the status of my wxPerl broken functionality trouble report.
    As my dad used to say, "That's all she wrote."
    So, because this is a "low runner" (e.g. not many people have noticed and reported the broken wxPerl code), I'd be surprised (but very delighted) to see a wxPerl fix delivered by Apple in the near future. After all, wxPerl has been broken since leaving Mac OS 10.4.x (wxPerl broken in 10.5.x and 10.6.x software releases).
    I last spoke to Nate regarding this issue on Mach 9, 2010.
    I have not included Nate's telephone number out of a courtesy to Nate, as he is not a technical person, only a contact that handles issues which have been escalated to Apple executives.
    The Apple Case Number assigned was: 153683921
    Regards to all involved and all effected.
    Thanks -

  • Are mobile internet USB devices still not working on Snow Leopard?

    Are mobile internet USB devices still not working on Snow Leopard? I actually had to go back to my previous operating system to get this to work. I would however prefer to use Snow Leopard...if Apple & HUAWEI have finally got their act together!

    There appears to be a problem with drivers for USB wireless modems with 10.6. I upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard and now can't connect to the internet with my wireless modem. I hope Apple sort this out soon. Or maybe it's Huawei that needs to put a 10.6 driver into its software.

    According to Roaring Apps, there is a version of Protools compatible with Lion.  But you may need Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to buy either Lion or ML on MAS.   It looks like you need to get up-to-date with your OS and the apps too.

  • M-Audio MIDISPORT UNO USB Not Working With Snow Leopard

    My Snow Leopard installation worked fine except until I plugged in my MacBook to my Casio Privia with the M=Audio MIDISPORT UNO USB cable to run GarageBand. I'm getting a MIDI error which states it can't work with the latest operating system. It doesn't surprise me though for all the software and hardware driver updates that have to catch up to such a new OSX 10.6. I went to the M-Audio site to download the latest driver, but the drivers only were compatible with OSX10.5.8.
    This is an alert at the site
    Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Support Coming Soon
    Avid/M-Audio working closely with Apple to offer support for OS X 10.6
    Avid/M-Audio is pleased to hear that Apple has released Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. We’ve been working closely with Apple to bring Snow Leopard support to the M-Audio® product line, as well as the Pro Tools® product line and extended product families. We ask that all existing Mac users please wait to upgrade until we officially announce Snow Leopard support. Stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks.
    This is a bit of a concern, because I need to get GarageBand running again with the MIDI hook ups. Is there a work around anyone knows about to get MIDI working with Snow Leopard.
    Thanks Steve

    I ran into a similar problem. I discovered one thing which may help you out though. It works OK with my Yamaha P200 keyboard but it does not work with my Yamaha NP30 keyboard. I looked at the MIDI stream and the only difference seems to be that the NP30 sends a continuous stream of MIDI clock, whereas the P200 does not. My theory is that this clock stream is somehow confusing the driver. I can't seem to disable the MIDI clock on my NP30 but if your Privia has the ability to disable MIDI clock, then it may be worth a try as it will probably fix the problem until they come out with the proper drivers.

  • Address book and ical not working for snow leopard clients

    We have upgraded our server to mountain lion from snow leopard.
    At first glance all appears to have gone well, however, the ical and address book services don't appear to be working for snow leopard clients. These services DO appear to be working for lion clients.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    I am at work right now and don't have access to my Mac. But I need to as if your Dad is on Windows Active Directory network? I also found these directions for Princeton's 2010 Exchange that might help. Did he set up the Address contacts & iCal Calenders were enabled when setting up the account in Mail?

  • Transparent PNG not working in Snow Leopard w Final Cut 3.5&4

    I recently changed from a G5 mac to a Mac Pro. I had FCE HD 3.5 which supposedly is not supported in Snow leopard..although it did work.
    Anyways, when dragging a PNG or PICT image to the base video layer, then dragging a transparent background(white)character image to a layer on top of that...I remember when i was in Macos X Tiger with FCE 3.5, after selecting the top layer and setting composite mode to SCREEN.. it would perfectly make the white background transparent. Awesome..
    Well that hasn't worked since i switched to Snow leoplard. I thought it was a problem because i had FCE 3.5 so i bought FCE 4 yesterday
    So i decided to upgrade and still doesn't work.
    Instead of getting a transparent BG.. the top video layer where i placed the PNG image of a character with a white bg still has the white bg..and the inside of the character is semi transparent..
    not what i want.
    I even tried the new feature in FCE 4 where you go to Modify and Sepect ALPHA white. and that didn't work either.
    What's going on.. ONly specific PNG formats have transparency in FCE???
    By the way I'm exporting PNG out of a 3D program called DAZ Studio 3.That program doesn't have the ability to export as Animation CODEC( like in poser)or any other codec for that matter. it only exports movies as MOV or image series PNG or single PNG images.

    Hi -
    Here is a correctly formated PNG file with transparency.
    You can download it to test in your sequence by Control-Clicking and selecting "Download Linked File As . . ." from the drop down menu [HERE|http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/Test.png]
    You simply need to place it on a video track above any other clip to see if the effect works or not.
    Please post if this graphic works for you.

  • HP LaserJet P1005 not working with Snow Leopard

    Has anyone managed to get this printer to work with Snow Leopard 10.6? I have installed the latest drivers* from the HP website which BTW do not say they support 10.6 , see http://is.gd/2DfcE
    *Not sure exactly what the version number of the drivers is. The website says they are version 1.0.7, but when installed they show version 1.0.6
    I either get nothing coming out of the printer or an error "PrintJobMgr quit unexpectedly - This report will be sent to Apple automatically".

    From this web page:
    Here are some troubleshooting steps you can use if there is an issue:
    Ensure the printer is connected, has power, has ink / toner, paper, and no alerts on its built-in display.
    Network based printers should be on the same subnet; you shouldn't have to worry about this if your printer is on your home network.
    Use Software Update for the latest available updates.
    Delete the affected printer from Printer & Fax System Preferences, then re-add the printer.
    If the issue persists, reset printing system as described below, then re-add the printer.
    If the issue persists, contact the printer vendor and/or visit their website for printer software and support.

  • BUG: Chord Grid Libraries not working in Snow Leopard 10.6.1

    Hi,
    I have Logic Pro 9 installed both on my Leopard and on my Snow Leopard partitions (both are full installs).
    Chord Grid Libraries (I mean, the default one with more than 4500 chords) doesn't work in Snow Leopard.
    It works as expected in Leopard.
    Already verified the bug with other users over here in Italy
    Message was edited by: Simone Coen
    added BUG to the subject header

    Here I did a workaround:
    If you have a 10.5.8 on a Backup Harddisk , start from it, launch Logic9, export the Chord Grids, start again from 10.6.1 launch Logic and reimport this File

  • Deleting multiple items not working in Snow Leopard

    I can select multiple events from a repeated event, and when I hit Delete to delete them, iCal correctly pops up a message asking if I'd like to delete only these events, or all future events. I hit "only these events" and it only deletes one item. My event is set up to repeat every week on Monday-Friday.

    Finally got my Konica Minolta Magiccolor to work with Snow Leopard 10.6.1. What I had to do was go to the EU site and I found the Magicolor 2430DL driver that was newer than the one I was using in Leopard. The version you need to get is 1.8.1 and set it up as a HP Jetdirect - Socket and use an IP address that is on the same segment as your computer. Leave the queue name blank. Below is the link I used to find the driver. Select Magicolor 2430DL and it will load a lot of pages. The driver and instructions were on section 201 - 250. It was labeled as working with OS X 10.5 .

  • Back to my Mac not working between Snow Leopard work iMac and Lion home iMac

    I have a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac at work running OS X 10.6.8.
    I have a 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 iMac at home running OS X 10.7.2.
    At present, I am unable to upgrade the work iMac to Lion because I need to run Intel's FORTRAN compiler, which does not yet work under Lion.
    I have upgraded my MobileMe account to use iCloud on my home machine.  Because my work machine is still using Snow Leopard, I can't use iCloud on that machine just yet.
    Initially, even after upgrading to iCloud on my home machine, I was able to use Screen Sharing from either computer to use the other computer.  I accidentally clicked "Turn Off Back to My Mac" in the MobileMe settings of my work machine.  When I click "Turn on Back to My Mac" to try and turn it back on, I consistently get the dialog box "Unable to start Back to My Mac     Back to My Mac could not start because of a MobileMe server error. Try again later. If this problem persists, contact MobileMe Support."  And hitting OK brings it back to the off state.  So I can not turn on Back to My Mac at work, therefore I can not connect to my work machine from home to use Screen Sharing like I want to.
    Has anyone else encountered this problem?  Has anyone found out how to turn Back to My Mac back on in such a case?
    Thanks for any help you can give,
    Adam

    Hi,
    the current version I had was 3.2(5612) but having just checked no a newer 3.2.1 has just been released. Let me do the upgrade and see how I get on.

  • HP 8150N Printer still not working with Snow Leopard

    I went to the Hewlett Packard page for a new driver and was told the new driver for my printer was included in the Snow Leopard update. I'm sure it is, but my computer can't find the printer. I've used advice from other discussions and tried what I could with the "Print & Fax" feature on my computer, but so far, nothing works. The printer to a network with two other computers in my office. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

    I believe this to be a "generic" statement since the support agent did not know what your problem was. I have double checked, and there are no known issues with the driver for the 8150n (at least none that engineering has been informed of and is working on).
    I fully believe the problem you are experiencing is due to the lack of AppleTalk in Snow Leopard.
    First print out the IP address of your printer by printing the configuration page. You may also be able to get this information on the front panel if you dig.
    Second, open up the print and fax control panel and click the + button to add a printer. In the add printer window that opens, select the IP button at the top, choose the protocol of HP JetDirect - Socket, and then type the IP address of the printer. If the OS automatically selects the right printer driver (and not Generic PostScript) you are good to go. Click Add Printer and happy printing.
    If it doesn't auto select the right printer then your printer probably does not have an IP address that is routable from the Mac. The easiest way to get the printer to grab a new IP address is to cold reset it. Cold Reset the printer by powering it down and then powering it back up while holding down the GO button.
    This should force the printer to grab a new IP address. Follow the above steps again to add the printer, and away you'll go.
    One drawback of this method is if you have a network that keeps changing and a DHCP server that doesn't reserve IP addresses for devices it is possible that the printer at some point in the future updates its IP address and is no longer reachable. If this happens, simply repeat the steps and you'll be all set. The other alternative is to assign a static IP address to your printer, but that takes a bit more work.
    Just trying to help.

  • HT1338 Software update not working with snow leopard 10.6.8

    When I try to update snow leopard 10.8.6 through the Software update, it launches but crashes with the message Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem. Software Update can’t connect to the update server. But I do have internet connection. If I try to update from the terminal with the command " sudo softwareupdate -i -r, it tries to connect but end up with connection timed out. I have never able to update my system with software update utility. Does anybody have any suggestion?

    Hi,
    This reply may seem late but might as well share my findings.
    I have the same problems with the software updater for 10.6.8 as well after trying to move on to Mavericks from
    OS X Leopard 10.6.8.
    Tried the patch as well the listed files to delete and etc but all failed.
    Then I noticed the problem was with the software updater complaining that there was a network problem and even though the dignostics was run the results were no network connection exists but Air Port is connected and there is no issue browsing the web.
    I took a look at the Wi-Fi settings and noticed that the default locations were going back to an old Wi-Fi network location I had latched on to 4 years ago! I assumed some screw up with the Wi-Fi network software and thus removed all Wi-Fi network associations and locations and reconfigured the Wi-Fi from scratch for my local home Wi-Fi network. After this the software update worked fine and can now download updates. Note that I did install the update patch by Apple though in my first attempt to resolve the problem.
    I would consider the possibility of the Wi-Fi software services within OS X Snow Leopard being a bit "buggy".
    Deleting all the non used Wi-Fi network associations and clearing or resetting the default location settings helped revive/resolve the no network connection problem with the software updater.     
    Now can move on to Mavericks...

  • Ssh via vpn not working in Snow Leopard

    On a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard, I want to log into a remote server on my employer's lan via ssh over a vpn connection. The vpn works because I can access a local twiki on that lan with no problem, but I can't run ssh or even ping. This is not a DNS issue because it happens even with explicit numerical IPv4 addresses.
    On an older G4 iBook with Tiger, ssh and ping both work. I can run the two laptops side by side with simultaneous VPN connections; and Tiger will succeed, but Snow Leopard fails. Turning off the firewall on the MacBook Pro makes no difference. Could someone please give me an idea of what is going on?
    I can't get help from my employer's IT staff because we are a Windows operation and would just as soon switch me over to Windows 7. Thanks.
    Clint

    My problem seems to be due to an advanced option in the Snow Leopard VPN preference to "Send all traffic over VPN connection." The domain that I was trying to reach is actually not on my company LAN, but successful ssh'ing to it seems to require that the request to come from a LAN IP address. Without the traffic redirection option, Snow Leopard tries to invoke ssh through my home IP address, which will then time out without making a connection. I think that Tiger automatically redirects traffic to the VPN whenever it is active.
    (Note that when setting a VPN preference, it does not go into effect until after leaving the Network preference pane.)
