After updating to snow leopard and trying to delete mackeeper, Flash player is being blocked and will not allow me to view utubes. Can anyone help?

Here are instructions for eradicating MacKeeper - you may need to re-install it to uninstall it fully:

Regarding Flash - there are many reports on here that v13.x isn't working for a lot of people. distractme in the following thread posted instructions on how to install the previous version, which should work whilst Adobe work on a fix:

Flash CS5, Snow Leopard and Font Problems

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue and might have a quick fix for it:
I have a couple of Flash projects that were originally built in CS3. Last year I upgraded them to CS5 without trouble. Recently I have upgraded my Macs to Snow Leopard, and when I open both of these FLA files in CS5 on Snow Leopard, some of the fonts are insanely distorted.
Any ideas?

I had the same issue and discovered a quick work around (not great for the long term) that does not require OS downgrade.
The first time Flash launches:
1. create a new fla
2. create a text box with the desired font that produces the issue
3. type out every character (lower and UPPER case) include all punctuation and numbers
4. Open any file that uses the font and you should be good to go
Hope that helps.

We need to upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard and then on up the chain. How?

We have an old MacBook running Leopard (10.5.8). Can we upgrade to Snow Leopard and then add others gradually untill we get to the newest version? If so, were can we find a copy of Snow Leopard?

Before embarking on a major OS upgrade, it would be wise, advisable and very prudent if you backup your current system to an external connected and Mac formatted Flash drive OR externally connected USB, Thunderbolt or FireWire 800, Mac formatted hard drive. Then, use either OS X Time Machine app to backup your entire system to the external drive OR purchase, install and use a data cloning app, like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, to make an exact and bootable copy (clone) of your entire Mac's internal hard drive. This step is really needed in case something goes wrong with the install of the new OS or you simply do not like the new OS, you have a very easy way/procedure to return your Mac to its former working state.
Then, determine if your Mac meets ALL minimum system install requirements.
To install Yosemite, you need one of these Macs:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:
OS X Mavericks, Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
2 GB or more of memory (I strongly advise, at least, 4 GBs of RAM or more)
8 GB or more of available space
Next,
If you run any older Mac software from the earlier PowerPC Macs, then none of this software will work with the newer OS X versions (10.7 and onward). OS X Snow Leopard had a magical and invisible PowerPC emulation application, called Rosetta, that worked seamlessly in the background that still allowed older PowerPC coded software to still operate in a Intel CPU Mac.
The use of Rosetta ended with OS X Snow Leopard as the Rosetta application was licensed to Apple, from a software company called Transitive, which got bought out, I believe, by IBM and Appe could no longer secure their rights to continue to use Rosetta in later versions of OS X.
So, you would need to check to see if you have software on your Mac that maybe older than, say, 2006 or older.
Also, check for app compatibilty here.
http://roaringapps.com/
If you have any commercial antivirus installed and/or hard drive cleaning apps installed on your Mac, like MacKeeper, CleanMyMac, TuneUpMyMac, MacCleanse, etc. now would be a good time to completely uninstall this apps by doing a Google search to learn how to properly uninstall these types of apps.
These types of apps will only cause your Mac issues later after the install of the new OS X version and you will have to completely uninstall these types of apps later.
Once you have determined all of this, you should be able to find the latest version of OS X Yosemite by clicking on the Mac App Store icon in the OS X Dock and then login to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID and password.
You can then begin the download and installation process of installing OS X 10.10 Yosemite from the Mac App Store.
Good Luck!

64-Bit and 32-Bit: Snow Leopard and Windows 7

Hi All:
I will eventually be dual booting Snow Leopard and Windows 7. I have never used Boot Camp before and have several questions, including one related to Boot Camp.
First, when installing 7, will I need to format the 7 partition, presumably NTSF.
Second, given my MBP's 64-bit architecture, will I be able to run 64-bit 7. I am aware, of course, that not many programs are available in 64-bit for either platform. Also, I know that the Snow Leopard renditions of all, or most, of the iLife programs will be 64-bit.
Does Leopard (and will Snow Leopard) run 32-bit programs in an emulation mode similar to the way 64-bit Vista/7 run 32-bit programs. In this regard, I assume, which surely must be the case, that OS X is a 64-bit program.

hi donv,
i run win7rc1 via bootcamp 32bit on mbp 17" 3.06ghz
and same, but 64bit on imac 3.06ghz.
all works perfect, also apple's keyboard (brightness+-/sound +-/keyboardbcklight +-/eject ..
format is ntfs; backupable with winclone, also now (i have cloned from ssd to ssd).
apps run also in emulation, but where specified drivers are needed (e.g. for flashing ci-cards) 32bit are a must (therefore i have 32bit on my mbp).
partly i have boot camp 3.0 drivers (snowleo) in the mbp ..

I have leopard, do I need snow leopard and then Lion for iCloud?

I have just got an iPhone 4S. It lets me have iCloud. I like iCloud. My Mac on the other hand does not like iCloud. I have 10.5.8 (I believe to be leopard) do i need Snow leopard or can I jump to lion to get my Mac to like iCloud?
Thanks
Jonathan

You can jumpt directly to Lion by purchasing the Apple USB Lion flash drive installer - $69.00 at your local Apple retailer. Otherwise, do as Carolyn has recommended - $29.00 for Snow Leopard and $30.00 for Lion. You save $10.00 doing it that way. If you choose to use that method then you may want to make your own USB installer:
Make Your Own Lion Installer
1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that you can use without having to re-download Lion.

Snow Leopard and the Flashback Malware

I am visiting my elderly mother and (like an idiot) responded to a prompt to update Adobe Flash last night. I have checked for the presence of DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES per C|Net's article on how to detect and remove the Flashback malware and it is not present in Mac OSX, Safari or Firefox. Can I relax? Do I still need to completely disable Flash in Preferences? She does not see well and is trained to automatically update via Software Update for Mac.
Also, her computer is running VERY slow. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot the speed?
Thanks in advance for any help! Happy Mother's Day!

Snow Leopard and HP DirectJet 300X / LaserJet 6MP communication problem

I've just upgraded to Snow Leopard and found that due to discontinued support for AppleTalk, I could no longer print to my LaserJet 6MP. Following advice posted elsewhere in this forum I got hold of a JetDirect 300X but can't get it to work with the upgraded Mac, though other computers can work with it.
I have Snow Leopard 10.6.3 installed, which I understand includes all the latest HP drivers. I can print successfully to the JetDirect/6MP from two laptops with OS X 10.4 (Tiger) installed, also from a PC under either Windows XP or Vista, so I know the JetDirect and printer combination is working. I'm setting up with the same LPD information on the Snow Leopard Mac - same IP address and queue name. The printer appears to set up properly, the Add Printer correctly identifies it as a PostScript printer, the only difference is that I only get the Gutenprint driver, the HP one doesn't appear in the list. But when I print, the Mac gets stuck at the 'Connecting to printer...' stage. The Activity light on the JetDirect flashes intermittently so I think something is reaching it, but there's no activity on the printer itself.
I have also run this Mac with 10.5.8 (Leopard) via a bootable external drive and get the same problem with that. I've tried changing the Ethernet cable from it to the router, resetting the JetDirect box (that got it working with the PC and the two Mac laptops) and upgrading its firmware to the latest version via the PC but I can't get my main machine to work with it.
I have reviewed the thread at
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11281487&#11281487
and those to which it refers, but I can't find anything quite like this.

I just found and applied the 10.6.4 update. After attempting to reinstall the printer using the same LPD settings as work with all the other computers (now including an ancient clamshell iBook on OS 10.3, which printed first time), I just get a message 'copying print data' for about a minute then back to the usual 'connecting to printer...' hang.
I did notice I got a choice of the Gutenprint and the 'proper' LaserJet driver when selecting the driver software. Is that wrong? I thought I read somewhere that under 10.6 you should only see Gutenprint for this machine. Maybe I have an outdated set of drivers still installed?
I tried again but choosing the Gutenprint driver, but that just gives the 'Printing page 1, 21%' message and then gets stuck. It's like the Mac is talking a print language or dialect that the JetDirect can't understand. Did Apple change something with 10.5 and later?

Trying to upgrade to snow leopard and my macbook pro keeps ejecting the DVD-R

I downloaded snow leopard and am attempting to burn it to DVD-R, as per the instructions, but everytime i insert the DVD-R (Maxell 4.7 GB) it spits it right back out.

Did you download Snow Leopard (ie, Mac OS X 10.6)? If so, you have gotten it illegally, as it is not available for download legally. You should delete whatever you downloaded, as it could possibly contain malware.
If, OTOH, you purchased and downloaded Lion (10.7) from the App Store, then it sounds like there's either something wrong with the disk you're trying to use or with your optical drive. Try putting the installer on an 8 GB flash drive instead, I like that approach better anyway. (BTW, what instructions are you following, in this case?)

Snow leopard and time machine

Hi, I'm using an iMac 21.5" middle 2010 with Mac OS X snow leopard and Time machine on a Time Capsule with 2 GB.
Since yesterday the control light is permanantly flashing yellow, but nevertheless time machine is working an signed a complete bachup, last 2 hrs before.
I'm not sure, if all is correct. Can anybody help?
Many thanks
scharamer

It may just be telling you about the latest firmware update.
Start AirPort Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder).
Click Manual Setup
Click directly on the word Status (2nd line) and AirPort Utility will indicate what's wrong.
If your network seems to be working OK, the flashing light might indicate that an update for your AirPort device is now available.

Can I install both Snow Leopard and Windows 7 on the same version of VMWare 5?

Even though I am running Apple OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3 on my new 2013 iMac, I have just installed VMWare's "Fusion 5" so I can have Windows 7 installed on the "Fusion 5, for limited usage needs.
I also would like to have a running version of Snow Leopard available to run my large collection of original Lynda.com training DVD's and CD's ... which unfortunately, now only allow the Lynda.com GUI player to operate in (and up to) Snow Leopard (at least this is what the Tech folks at Lynda.com have told me).
Since Lynda.com is no longer producing any or their training programs on CD or DVD any longer, and because they have stopped supporting their training programs to run on Lion and above, I will have to have a version of Snow Leopard installed to run these training programs, and still be able to run them using the Lynda.com GUI player.
So here's my dilemma:
1. Can I install both a version of Snow Leopard OS on my "VMWare "Fusion 5" .... along with a running version of Windows 7 on the same "Fusion 5"?
2. Do I install only the Windows 7 on the VMWare, and find some other "device" to run a version of Snow Leopard off of?
3. Do I consider using "BootCamp", in conjunction with "Fusion 5", to get access to both Snow Leopard and Windows 7?
Has anyone had any experience installing BOTH a previous (older) version of Apple OSX ... AND ... a Windows OS version on one installed version of VMWare "Fusion"?
OR
Any suggestions on how to set up having access to both Snow Leopard and Windows 7 .... while keeping OS Mountain Lion as my main OS?

Thanks ... the "You have to purchase Snow Leopard Server" I knew about, and a few days ago I just ordered a copy from the Apple Store:
Snow Leopard Server - Ordered at: 1-800-692-7753 ... OR ... 1-866-254-8313
I asked for Apple Snow Leopard Server (Model MC588Z/A (SLSVR)
"Unlimited Client License"
It was around $25.50 (USD) with sales tax and shipping (NYS).
One thing though ... when you mention: "you should make two virtual machines".
Not being too familiar with "Fusion 5" yet, Is setting up "two machine" all done under one installed version of "Fusion 5"?
Would you have "links" to any "Fusion 5" installation instructions/info for setting up the
"two machines" (one for Snow Leopard and one for Windows 7)?

I was using OS Snow Leopard and on 8/1/13 I downloaded Mountain Lion. Then I found out it was not compatible with my HP Printer (HP Photosmart C5580 all-in-one) so I called Apple support and the tech told me to erase the hard drive instead of going in the time machine. Well I did that and then it took about three hours three days a week for about three weeks on the phone with an apple tech to get all my stuff back on my computer. I have had trouble with my printer (won't do the scan anymore and wasn't printing on my DVDs. Also the computer keeps freezing up when it is in the sleep mode, etc.
When I tried to list my problem on this forum it lists your OS at the bottom and mine had Mountain Lion listed as what I was using so apparently it didn't erase it. Want to know how to get Mountain Lion off and put my Snow Leopard on so things start working right.

Go to the  menu/About This Mac - what OS version shows there?
Do a backup, preferably 2 separate ones on 2 separate drives.
Revert to a Previous OS X
Revert to Snow Leopard
If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience.

Am using Macbook pro mid 2010 running on OSX 10.9.5. It does not read my old Seagate back up plus ITB ext hard disk which opens and works on snow leopard. The back ups were made on snow leopard and mountain lion. How do I make it work on Mavericks?

I have been making back ups on a Seagate Back up plus drive on a macbook pro running on Mountain lion. Sadly the mac was stolen and all I had was the seagate back up. I tried opening it on my old iMac running on snow leopard and after several visits to this forum managed to open it. The data was safe and sound. Now I have received a hand me down macbook pro which runs on osx 10.9.5. I'm assuming there is a compatability issue as the drive does not come on at all when I hook it up to the usb port. I checked the seagate drive once again on the imac and its light came on on that system. Then I suspected there may be a problem with this macbook pro usb port. But it seemed to work fine when i hooked my camera cord into it. Is it that I must reinstall mavericks. In which case how do I back up before reformatting or reinstalling. BTW I did the command+ R thingy and repaired my internal Hard disc which was showing errors. What do I do next, your help is most appreciated if you have had a similar problem.

Your 2010 MBP would be able to handle Yosemite, but I would strongly suggest that you get the current problem sorted out before trying to upgrade to Yosemite. I'd also recommend another backup that isn't created by Time Machine if you are thinking of upgrading. SuperDuper and CarbonCopyCloner can make bootable clones of hard drives. If you clone your existing system to a fresh external drive, you would be able to boot from that drive and recover quickly in the event that your Yosemite upgrade didn't work out. Time Machine backups are not 100% reliable.
It's possible that, if your internal HD is the one that shipped with your MBP in 2010, it may be failing. If it keeps needing repairs, that is probably a sign that it is approaching the end of its useful life.
Have you run Disk Utility's Repair tool on the external drive as well?
I mentioned the hub because some people have reported here that attaching their USB 3 drives through a USB 2 hub solved some disconnection problems. A good-quality powered USB 2 hub won't cost much.
My most recent brush with random disconnections involved a nice new OWC drive enclosure. I used the cable that came with the drive, but the drive kept disconnecting. Using a different cable solved the problem. You wouldn't expect that what appeared to be a high quality cable would be a problem straight out of the box, but it was.

I just downloaded the latest version of Snow Leopard and now my iWeb won't open.
