Snow Leopard and Appleworks not working well together ...

Still a dedicated fan of Appleworks mostly because I use the vector drawing program for my design business. But, even though it works in OSX.6, it is much changed. The drag-drop images from web sites print out in dot-matrix quality. Every clicked on object becomes a "grouped picture". Therefore the object has to be ungrouped and then regrouped. The resize and rotate tools don't work. If there were other great drawing programs out there I would consider them, but I am considering going back to OSX.5. Also finding that some web sites don't like OSX.6 with Safari and my HP printers have terrible quality now and HP will not support Snow Leopard and older printers. Any other Appleworks users having problems? Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Whenever you do an update, it's a good idea to do two maintenance tasks, one for the system (Repair Permissions) and one for AppleWorks (delete preferences). (Thanks to Barry for this way to format this very common answer.)
To Repair permissions, launch Disk Utility, found in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder, click on First Aid, then on Repair Permissions.
To delete AppleWorks’ preference files, go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences. Find and delete the file com.apple.appleworks.plist. Find and open the folder AppleWorks in this Preferences folder, then delete all of the enclosed files (with the exception of the Button Bar Preferences if you have customized the Button Bars). AppleWorks will recreate the preference files as it needs them. You should also do this every time AppleWorks crashes as each crash will cause some corruption of the preferences. This may fix the resize & rotate issues.
AppleWorks changes the resolution of all graphic formats except PICT to 72 dpi. There are a couple of things you can do improve the print quality of images.
1. Turn on Fractional Character widths in Preferences > General > Topic: Text. This is a text setting, but it does improve the print quality of images.
2. Open the image in Preview or GraphicConverter & Save As... a PICT to use in AppleWorks.
PICT is generally the best format to use for inserting or pasting into AppleWorks. I find the resulting graphic can be resized somewhat & the resulting saved AW file is much smaller than if using JPEG or TIFF.

Ipad and Mifi not working well together.

I have a consistent problem keeping my ipad connected on a Verizon Mifi setup. This is the second Mifi I've tried and same problem. Ipad connects and network connection works but will randomly drop. It will reconnect again to the Mifi and again randomly drop. Ipad and Mifi are always close so it's not a coverage problem. Ipad has latest OS. Frequently while connected I have a very long wait for pages to load.
Any thoughts? I'm ready to can this thing. Bty, iphone works flawlessly with the same Mifi.

Siri and voiceover not working well together

G'day,
I've been trying to help a friend use Voice Over and Siri together. She has limited vision so has to use Voice Over. The issue is that with voice over on, siri will activate when holding down the home button, but will not listen. Voice over tells us to click the Siri icon, then double click it to start Siri listening. But Siri just does not start.
Any thoughts?
Peter

Numbers and Spaces not working well together

I'm having a problem with Numbers while using spaces. When I have multiple spreadsheets open between two different Spaces, Numbers jumps to the spreadsheet that was opened first when trying to enter data into the second... I hope this is clearer than mud.
Anyway, I'm not sure why this is happening. It's VERY annoying, but I don't know if it's a Numbers issue or a Spaces issue. Suggestions?

Airport Extreme and Express not working well together

I recently got a new Airport Extreme, but still want to use my Airport Express'es to play music throughout my house via airtunes. The problem is that it seems that I can't see the Express anymore - they aren't showing up in the airport utility at all. (Using the recent updated Version 5.1 (510.18)). Anyone with any ideas?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Had the same issue. The AirPort Express is still looking for the old base station and it's network. (I'm assuming that you upgraded from an old base station). The way I remedied the situation was to do a hard rest on the AirPort Express and run the setup assistant included in the new AirPort software. When I just tries the setup assistant without resetting the AP Express I got nowhere.
give it a try.

Mac has snow leopard and does not boot has grey screen

IMac has snow leopard and does not boot has grey screen

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.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

Aperture 2.1.4 with Snow Leopard Filmstrip Slider Not Working

Hi all,
Not sure which one caused the problem the upgrade to Snow Leopard or Aperture 2.1.4 but here is my issue.
In Browser and Viewer mode with the browser set to Filmstrip I am not able to use either the arrows or the slider to scroll through the images in my projects. Sliding the bar over to the left or right just resets back to where it was. Click on the arrows to scroll left or right does nothing. If I switch to Grid orList view they work as expected. Anyone else seeing this issue ?? Thanks

Updated to snow leopard and had the same problem that when the thumbnails where placed on the bottom I could only scroll left or right when no picture was marked... so I placed the thumbnails to the left side and scrolling worked normally even with a a marked picture...I also had bad color sync problems and switching screens would cause my windows to become almost black and unreadable..... I reinstalled my Leopard clone drive shortly there after... oh well... it took a while before leopard was ready for professional use.... I didn't really expect Snow leopard to be different... I will check back in at 10.6.4 or so LOL

Snow Leopard and Appleworks

I have several scrips I use that access Appleworks. Since installing Snow Leopard, Apple Script crashes when I try to run any of them. When I first opened AppleWorks after the OS update, it told me I had to install "Rosetta," which I did and AW now opens, but AS still crashes when I try to run any of the AW scripts.
Are there any suggestions out there? I have a copy of Numbers 09, which will I'm sure will work, and I have expected that someday I would be forced to switch over from AW. But, I would rather not have to do it just now as I have charts on AW and I have not been able to use Numbers to make anything close to them.

Ooops! I posted too soon. After my prior post, I tried to load the AW script again and it continued to cause Script Editor to crash. But, several of the other scripts that also used AW not only loaded into AS, but ran not only normally, but much faster. I finally determined that it was only the one script that crashed AS. I pulled a copy of that same script from my last backup and it loaded and ran fine. So, as of this moment, I am a happy camper and everything runs under Snow Leopard, AND, it runs noticeably faster. One particular script runs at least ten time faster, which is amazing.

Snow Leopard and AppleWorks 6.0

Will Snow Leopard work with unsupported AppleWorks 6.2.9 ??
I have many work database documents and don't want to upgrade to Snow Leopard if AppleWorks will not function. Thank You.
Message was edited by: Namm

My AppleWorks opens and I can create and 'sometimes' save documents.. It does crash occasionally. I wish Apple would have hurried up a little more with iWork and included all the original functionality that people got from AppleWorks, like the database for one. AppleWorks has been on life support for quite awhile now. Bento seems to be a good replacement for the database, though quite a bit more expensive comparatively.

Dual Boot with Snow Leopard and Mavericks not possible?

I have a Early 2011 Macbook Pro with 2,3 GHz i7 Quad and two 512 GB SSDs (the secondary disk in an optical drive bay enclosure). This Macbook Pro can run Snow Leopard and Mavericks on the primary disk without problems. When I try to set up a dual boot system however, problems appear and it looks like it is not possible. When I start from Snow Leopard, I cannot select Mavericks as a start volume and vice versa. The error message says something like "Bless tool" cannot use this disk, i.e. unmount and boot from it. The problem remains when I exchange the disks (putting the primary disk in the drive enclosure and vice versa). When I put the secondary drive in an external case however, it is possible to boot from it - but strange things happen when the system starts: My computer clock is reset to 1/1/2001, WiFI passwords are not remembered for more than one session, disk permissions are reported as "repaired" but do apear as not repaired when I check them again - and other issues). I have verified both disks already and repaired permissions but that does not change the situation. So my experience is different from what is said in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/566781. It looks like the latest Mavericks cannot coexist with Snow Leopard on neiter a secondary internal drive nor on an external drive. This is strange since both disks and systems work flawless when run alone. Any suggestions to solve this problem?

When I check the Mavericks disk in the optical drive with disk utility after booting / running Snow Leopard on the primary disk I get som errors, see below ("disk utility Info"). So after all, I decided to erase the disk and install Mavericks new. But even erasing the disk is not possible when it is in the optical drive enclosure. I get this error message:
"Volume Erase failed with the error:
Could not unmount disk"
When I put this disk into an external case connected via USB however, it starts and runds MAvericks without any Problem. Same happens when I put thie Mavericks disk into the internal primary hard disk place.

Chronosync and iphoto 11 not working well together.

Has anyone else struggled to get chronosync to work with iphoto 11 libraries? I have; it often just gives me the spinning beach ball when I open the syncronizer, and if it does work then it is very slow and hasn't competed after a couple of hours.
Macbook and iMac running snow leopard, backing up to time machine.

I had thought of that. However, I have found that they will be persistently optimistic and keep suggesting methods, to try and fix problems, that are quite involved but not successful. If lots of people are having trouble and have unsuccessfully tried suggested methods I'll have to go back to time machine. If no one has then I'll approach them and give them the benefit of the doubt.

Snow Leopard: Display settings not working anymore. DO NOT LOCALIZE

Hello,
the following message was posted in the MacBook Pro Display forums and i was suggested to write it here:
I purchased a MacBox Set and upgraded from Tiger on a MacBook Pro 15" (2007). I did a clean install. That was two weeks ago.
Today i went into System Preferences>Displays (not my first time there) and a window oppened by itself saying that the display setting was about to be changed and maybe certain software would not be showed properly in a resolution below 800X600 (sorry, that's my translation. I use a Spanish SO).
After that, the resolution changed to 640X480 and the Display panel became useless. It's impossible to set any other resolution and on the refresh settins apears that message: <<do not localize>>. Under the Resolutions Field appears <<<DO NOT LOCALIZE>>> as well.
I tryed:
* Repair disk Permissions
* Reset PRAM
* Reset PMU
* I did a hardware test (the long one). No problems found.
I was not able to use the system disks (the ones that came with my computer) because the image on the screen appears completly distorted and i am not able to navigate through the menus. I was able to use Hardware Test because the buttons where showed in the middle of the screen.
I tryed to use the Snow Leopard DVD, but the part of the welcome window in wich the buttons are was out of the screen and i had no chance to click on them.
I have temporarily fixed that using a ten days trial version of SwitchRes X. Everything works fine now, but the Display preferences panel from MacOs stays "in coma". So i guess it's not a hardware problem, but a Snow Leopard Problem. If in ten days i don't find a fix for that, i'm gonna be forced to buy the program, a really good software, i have to say, but a software i shoulnd't need.
After been able to recover my original resolution via SwitchRes X, I checked the disk and it was ok. I repaired it anyway. Back to my desktop, i checked the permisions and everything was fine except for this message:
"Advertencia: el archivo SUID “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAgen t” se ha modificado y no se reparará."
I got this message since the first time i checked permissions and its well know by other users. It is supposed to be normal.
Anyway, it didn't worked.
I'll appreciate any help. Thanks!

"I was not able to use the system disks 'cos the image on the screen appears completly distorted and i am not able to navigate the menus."
Never ran across that type of problem on Apple's message boards.
"I have temporarily fixed that using a ten days trial version of SwitchRes X. Everything works fine now but the Display preferences panel from MacOs, wich stays "in coma"."
In that case, are you now able to boot off your install DVD? If so, run the +"repair disk"+ option, when done boot back to desktop & run repair permissions.
"So i guess it's not a hardware problem, but a Snow Leopard Problem."
Post in the Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard Forums where the SL users hang out at.

After upgrade to Snow Leopard, Time Machine not working

Hi all,
About two days ago I upgraded my MacBook 4.1 to Snow Leopard.
Now Time Machine cannot backup to my external HDD anymore. One error message stated that it would not fine the settings file.
Please help.
What do I need to do to get my backups working again?
Thank you

Pondini - I have an issue too. And so I went to the troubleshooting tips you listed here and was not able to find a solution. Specifically, I don't get a message. I plain ole don't get nothing. After I installed Snow my first backup failed. Funny thing is the backup on my wifes computer also failed. She does not have an Intel Mac. It's a PowerBook G4. Hence no Snow Leopard there. I have a iMac 24 Aluminum. My Time Capsule backup worked fine until Snow. My TC is wired via ethernet. There is no latest date. When Time Machine backup starts the TM preference pane says it's "Making disk available" Something to that effect. And that's where it stays. If I then try to do anything with the preference panel - like close it - I find out the Preferences are not responding. So I force quit. I try to stop Time Machine backups and it's no good. The TM indicator - that little backwards running clock - in the menu bar just keeps on it's merry little way. The only way to stop it - shutdown. Strange thing is shutdown then refuses to - well, shutdown. I end up having to hold the power button for 5 seconds. I don't get error messages. I get nothing indicating what may be causing this problem. I have been searching these and other forums looking for an answer. I had hoped the user tips you listed would have a solution, but, alas, no. I deleted the timemachine plist in the "higher" library. No luck. I have powered down everything. No luck. Those were two ideas I saw that said they worked. So where do I go from here? Where do I look for error messages that will point me in the right direction? I'd appreciate any help from anybody.
