Snow Leopard and iCAL- cannot confirm invitation

Hi Apple Community,
I have iCal successfully (?) setup and it seems to work with iCloud.
I can send invitations,my Windows counterparts succesfully receive them and my calendar is syched.
However, when I get and invitation from them, once I press "accept" it never reaches them.
What is wrong with my setup?
thank You
best

I'm having that exact problem. Can you tell me how you fixed it?

Upgraded to snow leopard and now cannot print

I purchased an iPhone 4S which forced me to upgrade to snow leopard. I have two Epson printers and an Epson scanner. Now I cannot print.
I downloaded Epson updates for the new system from the Apple website hoping that would solve the problem. It did not.
Current print issues:
The print dialogue boxes look like inDesign options, not photoshop or "regular" print options.
I cannot print : Error:/System/Library/Printers/Printjobmgr/Contents/MacOS
Any suggestions on what to do next? This is very frustrating.
Thanks in advance.

Open the System Preferences program and select the Print tab. Delete the printers and then try installing the printers again.
I don't know what you mean by:
The print dialogue boxes look like inDesign options, not photoshop or "regular" print options.
If this persists you might want to take screenshots and include them.

I have osx 10.6.3 have just upgraded to snow leopard and it says my app ical is ical 3.0.2 and cant be used? what the??? what do i do now?

I have just upgraded to snow leopard and ical now wont open. says it is not compatible and is ical 3.0.2 which seems strange as i have a osx10.6.3 . have looked for update but cant find one, what do i do?

Greetings,
It sounds like you have moved iCal from it's normal location and are opening a second copy which is the older version.
The current version of OS X 10.6 is 10.6.8. As you are running 10.6.3 you need the updates. Go to the Apple Menu > Software update and keep doing this until it says all updates have been installed.
Click anywhere on your desktop (the background).
Go to the top of the computer screen and click on "Go" > "Applications"
In this list look for "iCal".
Double-click iCal in this location (which is the proper home for iCal) and see what version it says.
If it reports the correct version you can drag the iCal from the Applications folder to the dock on your screen to add an button for it (if you already have one in the dock, remove it before you drag this one there). Be sure to leave iCal in the Applications folder.
Hope that helps.

I recently upgraded to snow leopard and now every time i open iCal i get multiple events to update in iCal

I recently upgraded to snow leopard and now every time i open iCal i get multiple events to update in iCal. Except I don't know where these are coming from or why. I've check iCal preferences and Help - can't find a way to stop this from happening automatically. Any Clues? Also, some of the events are already on my calendar and have been for quite some time.

Greetings,
What do you mean by "events to update"? Do you mean invites to new events or changes to existing invites?
Troubleshooting:
1. Your profile indicates you are running 10.6.7, 10.6.8 is the current version Apple > Software update.
2. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal 1 at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
3. Launch iCal and test.
Hope that helps!

I recently had my Imac repaired and had snow leopard and now I cannot get Icloud?

To use the features in iCloud you need to upgrade to 10.7.3 (Lion).

Snow Leopard and iCloud

I intend to leave my MB at OS10.6.8 when I switch over the iCloud on my iMac later this week. Is any/all of my mail/address book/calendar syncing going to cease on the laptop?

You can migrate from MobileMe to iCloud at http://me.com/move even with Snow Leopard: when asked to confirm that your Mac is running Lion just lie and say 'yes'. Of course you won't be able to access iCloud directly from your Mac.
If you have MobileMe mail set up to collect mail from external POP accounts you should cancel this before migrating, or you may find it still working in iCloud (where it isn't supposed to) and with no way of stopping it.
This will be the situation with Snow Leopard when you have migrated:
•Your email, calendars, and 'Find my iPhone' will be migrated to iCloud. Contacts and Bookmarks cannot be migrated from a Snow Leopard Mac.
•Your iDisk, together with website hosting and Gallery, will continue to work as before until next June.
•Syncing of Dashboard Widgets, Dock Items and Keychains between Macs, and Mail Accounts, Mail Rules, System Preferences, Signatures & Smart •Mailboxes between Macs & iOS devices, will cease altogether.
•You will be able to access email and calendars on the iCloud website at http://icloud.com provided your browser is reasonably up-to-date.
•You will not be able to sync contacts or bookmarks from a pre-Lion Mac.
•You will be able to enter the server settings for email manually in the Mail application and access your email.
•You will not be able to sync your calendars directly.
•Some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point.
•Address Book won't sync: this page has a convoluted hack to make it sync which has been reported as working (and as not working by others). I've not tried it.
There are a couple of third-party solutions which may be of interest.
•BusyCal is an iCal-like calendar application with extra facilities: it can sync with the iCloud Calendar while running on Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion. A single user licence (two machines allowed) is $49.99.
•Soho Organizer can sync Calendars and Contacts with iCloud on Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion. A single user licence (multiple machines allowed) is $99.99.
(I have no connection with either firm.)

After clean snow leopard install, ical crashes on startup

I just did a clean install of snow leopard and then restored from time machine backup. Now iCal crashes within 5 seconds of opening. I don't have a chance to make any changes or expeiment becuase it doesnt stay open long enogh.
I deleted the .plist enteries from ~library/preferences as advised in various forums, this has had no effect, positive or negative. I'm out of options.

I'd do this:
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.
If you are reinstalling an earlier version of OS X then download the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo to upgrade.
Just an afterthought: Do you have at least 1 GB of installed RAM (and preferably more.)

Snow Leopard and MS Exchange 2003 -USING OWA-

I have a new 27" iMac with Snow Leopard. I am trying to connect to my company's MS Exchange 2003 via OWA NOT IMAP or POP, OWA. I dont like mail.app or like using iCal for calendering. So I like OWA using Safari or FF.
I also have several other machines in my home office: 8 Macs (Dual G5 - Leopard, 27" iMac - Snow Leopard, G4 Mini - Leopard, 15" Powerbook - Leopard, 15" MacBook Pro - Snow Leopard, 24" iMacs - Snow Leopard, and quad Intel XServe - Tiger) and a couple of Dells one with XP and one with Vista. I'm a geek, can you tell?
On every machine using Leopard and Snow Leopard, I cannot connect to Exchange 2003 OWA using Safari or FF. It takes forever and then once I get the login dialog it eventually times out.
HOWEVER, on Tiger no mater if on Quad Intel XServe or the Dual G5 (I can boot Leopard or Tiger), there are no problems. There are no problems conecting or logging into Exchange via Safari or FF.
Also, to reiterate, XP and Vista on a Dell have no issues, nor does XP on Fusion 3.0 int the 27" iMac.
So it HAS to be related to Leopard and Snow Leopard. Remember it is not an issue of time outs after logging in as some posts on ArsTechnica suggests, here we cant even get to the exchange server in a timely manor. When I ping the server it just sits there.
Ping results
PING chilcoinc.com (72.215.225.9): 56 data bytes
Request timeout for icmp_seq 0
Request timeout for icmp_seq 1
Request timeout for icmp_seq 2

And it just keeps going.
Frankly, I am ****** and don't know what I am to do. I need this access and dread having to be forced into using imap or pop.
Microsoft was been useless. Their solution is Exchange 2007, But they cant seem to understand that I do not want to use mail.app and ical. I want to use the OWA!
Thanks for any help you guys can provide.
Mark

From my MBP with 10.6.2 I can connect using OWA both to a hosted service running Exchange 2007 and an internal service running Exchange 2003.
It sounds as if there is a problem with the network configuration. Is there any firewall between your client system and your company server? Are you using the same IP information (DNS, GW, etc) on the client as on the other systems which work for you?

Got new iPhone 5 won't work with my computer because I don't have snow leopard. Which cannot be purchased anywhere in town! Is this seriously the only solution so that my phone will sync with my computer?

When I plug in my new iPhone 5 to sync with my computer it tells me I need iTunes 7. I tried to download it, but it will not load on my computer because I need a software upgrade to 10.6.8, which from what I understand is a paid upgrade to snow leopard. I cannot find it anywhere! All of our stores that sell Apple products do not carry it anymore. My computer is a MacBook I bought in late August 2008, the ONLY thing wrong with it after all these years is this particular problem. I thought Apple products were superior because of their long life in comparison to other computers, why would Apple shorten the lifespan of its product by no longer supporting it with software??

10.6 Snow Leopard will run on any Intel mac. So that's any Mac made in the last 6 years. Snow Leopard came out in July 2009 and only cost $29. So you had over 3 years to have upgraded your MacBook.
You're willing to pay a couple of hundred dollars for a new phone but not the $29 in the last three years to have upgraded your OS on your MacBook.
The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list. The App Store which is required to download 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion is part of the 10.6.6 update.
If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.

How do I partition my MacBook Pro so I can keep Snow Leopard and also install Mountain Lion?

How do I partition my MacBook Pro so I can keep Snow Leopard and also install Mountain Lion?
I want to install the latest OS, but I already know that I will lose a lot of my software unless I can partition the hard drive and have two "bootable" drives.
How do I retain everything I have, partition the drive, then reloa the software I own according to which OS it will work under?

I do not currently own OS X ML.
I am currently running OS X (10.6.8 Snow Leopard) on my MacBook Pro. It has a 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor. I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but many of my software titles will not operate with ML and I cannot afford to replace some of them (Adobe Creative Suite, for e.g.)
After I back-up my HD and then partition the HD, how do I use the back-up to reinstall what I want to the SL partition, and then place the rest on the ML partition.
I have not done what you want to do, so can only offer some general thoughts in support. Take value from the following where you can. No guarantees.
If it was me, I would use a disk clone utility (e.g. Carbon Copy Cloner) to image the existing Snow Leopard disk to an external drive. Then verify that the external drive would boot and run Snow Leopard normally.
I would then purchase and download the Mountain Lion upgrade installer, but not run it. Use Lion Diskmaker to make a bootable USB stick, and perform a clean install of Mountain Lion, replacing the Snow Leopard on your MBP. This way, you make absolutely certain that no third-party drivers or other SL cruft remains to make Mountain Lion unstable. Update to latest ML point release. Fix permissions. Let TimeMachine make a full backup of your ML installation to a different external drive. Then turn of Time Machine.
In Disk Utility, use the + sign at the bottom of the ML partition to add another GUID, HFS+ Journaled partition for Snow Leopard. Resize to taste. Name it differently from your ML partition. Exhale.
Now ideally, you would like to reverse the external clone and put it back into the new SL partition. Then fix permissions. And demonstrate that you can boot into individually stable OS X installations. This would save you alot of work. Resist copying your home directory into ML just yet.
If you cannot successfully achieve the preceding paragraph, you will be faced with a full SL and application reinstall.
The ~/Library contents for SL and ML are sufficiently different that you do not want to mix them. You may want to salvage Safari bookmarks.plist. And, ML created folders in the home directory may have different permissions or ACL settings than in SL. So, my rule of thumb would be to copy folders that you created in SL, and only the contents of matching named OS created folders such as Music, Pictures, Downloads, etc.
For each operating system, you probably want the Time Machine settings to exclude the opposite OS X partition. If you use the same host name in Sharing prefs, then you will mix SL and ML backups on the same Time Machine back up drive. If you use different host names, they will be distinct folders in the Time Machine backups.backupdb and allow discrete restores per host. You may also want to gag Spotlight from indexing the opposite OS X partition.

Can I dual boot Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion on one hard drive?

I want to make a new partition and be able to boot to either OS. Is this possible, if so, how? I would think just make a new partition and install the dmg file to that new partition.

@jimmyk11: AppleCare has actually informed me that "No - this MacBooPro9,1 cannot boot Snow Leopard".
It originally came with lion 10.7.4 installed. I have since upgraded to Mountain Lion 10.8 and (today, after a week or so of ML) I reverted to Lion 10.7.4. But now I find I can no longer boot into Lion 10.7.4 from my external FW800 drive (for troubleshooting and housekeeping). So it looks as if the "boot problems" are not confined to Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Interestingly, I can use this same external drive to boot my iMac (10.7.4) and my older MBP8,3 (10.8) into 10.7.4 - but not the newer MBP9,1.
The MBP9,1 with Lion and Mountain Lion is turning into a disaster when it comes to external booting. If I could, I'd demand a return and a refund. After bottle-feeding Lion for a year, 10.7.4 seems basically stable and can still boot into Snow Leopard and Lion from my external drives if needed. But now I see I have a worse problem: Crippled Hardware. I suspect this bug needs a firmware update - if it is fixable at all.

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.
"disk utility Info" when verinfying the secondary drive in the oprical bay:

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

Install boot camp snow leopard and mountain lion

Is it possible to install boot camp on a 2009 Mac Pro to run both Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion? The startup drive is already partitioned. I need to run two different versions of Final Cut Studio (and all the accompanying apps) and this seems the best way to keep them segregated. I know that I can run them both in Snow Leopard, but I have two different sets of Motion templates which need to be accessed.

Alrighty, I do appreciate your time. I had already tried parallels and that was a huge waste of time. You blow away their support, by the way.
Just to confirm assumptions before I do this, sorry, I'm an engineer.
1. The startup drive is partitioned already.
2. Partition (1) contains Snow Leopard and a user account.
3. Partition (2) currently contains a media library, does not have an OS on it, and has 232 GB free.
4. I will install Mountain Lion on partition 2 using the dmg downloaded from the app store.
5. That partition will then become the startup drive when using mountain lion.
6. Partition 2 will have its own user account, applications, etc.
Almost forgot. Do I need to erase and install on that partition or can I simply install? After this I owe you a beer.
