Snow leopard bug with iweb black template

I installed Snow Leopard this weekend. When I went to add content to my website this am, I found that all my pages and entries on the black templates were unreadable. The fonts were ultra condensed so that letters and words were superimposed. I was able to fix them by reselecting the fonts. Just one more thing in my Vista-like Event Horizon involving Safari, Mail, all my fonts, two restores from time machine and an uninstall and then reinstall of my HP printer despite SLs dire warning of the consequences.

Delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, repair disk permissions, reboot, launch iWeb and republish the site. See if that will make any changes. The black theme works for me in myTestPage .
Can you give us the URL so we can examine it first hand?

How to have Snow Leopard, Mavericks with built-in recovery, and Windows 7 (Bootcamp) on my iMac (Intel)?

I would like to have Snow Leopard, Mavericks with built-in recovery, and Windows 7 (Bootcamp) on my iMac (Intel). Is this possible? If so, how? Currently, I have Snow Leopard and Windows 7 (Bootcamp) running on my iMac. I have enough disk space to split my Snow Leopard partition. I have read that if I split my Snow Leopard partition, clone my Snow Leopard partition to the new partition, and boot to the new partition, that I may have problems with the Maverick's upgrade because it may not be able to create the recovery parition, or that it may erase the Windows partition, or that it may mess up the Windows boot process.

Simplest is to install Mavs on an ext HD, using FW or TB. I don't do windoze, so can't advise about the Boot Camp and multiple volumes issue. Since there's no Boot Camp, I have four volumes running SL through Mavs.

Can OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard work with an Imation Superdisk 120MB Drive?

I have an Imac duo core with Snow Leopard OSX 10.6.8 running on it.
Need to know if OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard works with an Imation Mac USB Superdisk 120 MG Drive before I buy an old use one.

Why would you want technology that is so old?

I am trying to download snow leopard, but with around 46 mins to go, a message appears saying, my coup is going to restart,it does but with just the apple logo,and white screen, nothing else,can anybody help? jib.

I think we need more clarification.
What do you mean by "download"? Only updates are available as downloads, the System software has to be installed from a DVD.

The Early 2008 MacBook can only go up to Lion...the compatibility requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are the same http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/ which says Late 2008 MacBook.

Setting up Snow Leopard Server with Address Book, iCal for Small Business

Hello Folks,
I have a small business with 2-3 people and I want to setup Snow Leopard Server on a Mac Mini. I have everything in place, RAID, Backup drive etc.
What I need is a guide on how to setup the server correctly and how to setup Address Book Server, iCal Server, DNS, etc. I was in IT a long while back but have gone back to my creative roots and sworn off IT but I am in a situation where my IT guy's wife is pregnant so he is busy painting the baby's room, etc.
I was looking at Snow Leopard Server for Dummies and a few other books. Do you guys have any suggestions on resources for me to read or research that would give me very straightforward steps in getting this setup. I am at a point where I can re-install from scratch if needed.
For the ease of those that might respond let's assume I know my way around Mac and general networking as a whole.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Cheers,
Jason

Hi Guys,
First of, I will give you a brief background on me regarding networking as a mac user since 1994. I can setup and network multiple macs without a server in our home and small office. Turning file, print and internet sharing with a regular Mac OS X client version at no problem at all. This would be my first time setting up a Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server.
I'm in the same boat as Jakekub but we do not have a static IP from our DSL provider. We just bought a Mac Mini Server for our small office with 3 iMacs and 1 MacBook. We will just use the server for internal usage and to centralized things out and use some of server's features like Address Book, Mail, iCal etc. I've search the forums and found Orhidy's post here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2148553
I even followed the sample IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, DNS Server and I think I had it correctly setup initially. And I think I got it all running on the basic setup base on his instructions. So I tried to test my DNS settings via Terminal > hostname then got answer as
servername.companyname.private
And double checking DNS again with a command: sudo changeip - checkhostname and was given an answer of:
Primary address = 192.168.1.192
Current Hostname = servername.companyname.private
DNS Hostname = servername.companyname.private
The names match. There is nothing to change
dirserv:success = "success"
But here's another one that bugs me. I tried to follow from "Mac OS X Snow Leopard for Dummies" the command line:
NSLOOKUP hostname
and got an answer of:
;; Got SERVFAIL reply from 192.168.1.192, trying next server
Server: 192.168.1.1
Address: 192.168.1.1#53
** server can't find hostname: NXDOMAIN
So does it mean that I still haven't configured my server properly?
Thank you all for the help in advance!

Photoshop CS4 Snow Leopard Bugs: Cursor Position & Grains

Currently running OSX Snow Leopard (10.6.1), and just installed the latest Adobe updates this morning (9.22.09).
There are two bugs in Ps CS4 I've encountered, one minor but aesthetically unpleasant, and the other major and disrupting:
The first bug occurs at random when Ps is extended to "Full Screen Mode with Menu Ba." As seen in the image at the following link, graininess occurs in Ps's canvas background, and wont disappear until the screen mode is toggled (pressing the "F" key three times): http://img.skitch.com/20090922-tyxk4dfrak4dtf2f4rg7fgyn59.jpg Again, not a major bug, but simply annoying to look at.
The second, more annoying bug, has to do with the cursor and selection tools. I could not determine when exactly this happens and how it goes away, but a few times throughout the day the selection cursor is a few pixels off. When either the lasso, magic wand, marquee or other similar tools are selected, the actual area from which Ps begins to select is about 10-15 pixels below the cursor position, see image in link for clarification: http://img.skitch.com/20090922-1jyqdtj34xw99ysq4gjxhxx57c.jpg
I hope this notice gets the bugs fixed. If you're experiencing similar Snow Leopard side-effects and can detect how and when they occur, please let me know. The canvas background pixelation, I can live with...but the cursor selection bug makes my day twice as difficult and slows my workflow down to a snail's pace.

Not sure about the graininess as I have never seen it but it seems to be the same fix as for the curser being off by 10 pixels. cycle though the screen modes with the F key. this has nothing to do with Snow Leopard as it is present in both Tiger and Leopard as well.
This bug is only present when you create a new doc in full screen mode. If you are a new convert to Mac from Windows you might want to use the application frame, this will give you the gray background without those two annoyances. You can find the application frame at the bottom of the Window menu. this is a new feature on the Mac version with CS4.

Cannot turn on AirPort after Snow Leopard upgrade with Parallels 3

Since I have upgraded to Snow leopard, my wifi does not turn on, I have seen some comments about parallels causing the problem, does anyone know if this is true and if so how to turn of the ports they are using.
I cannot open the parallels environments as I need to upgrade to get them open.
I now have lots of applications which have stopped working since the upgrade, this is the one thing Microsoft does well making sure the backward compatibility, used to be a advocate of Apple OS's but this one has tarnished my view on them.
Any help very much appreciated.
Rgds, Tony

I find the idea of perpetual compatibility of programs with new operating systems to be unrealistic. The programs that you bought still work with the OS that they were designed for (Tiger and Leopard). In the case of parallels, version 4 has been available for Mac since November of 2008. Version 3 came out in June of 2007. So it looks like they are trying very hard to keep up with the changes that the new Apple cats bring every couple of years.
Since you don't wish to purchase programs that are certified for the operating system you have upgraded to, then you will either need to find freeware replacements or install an operating system that is compatible with the versions of programs that you currently do own. A lot of third party developers are going to insist on getting paid for their continuing efforts. You can also use Apple's BootCamp to run Windows on your Mac. It's free with the OS, but I don't care for it and I'm willing to pay for a program that provides services that are not available in the OS.
Parallels upgraded their software to version 4 for a reason, probably many reasons actually. I expect that part of the reason they decided to rewrite their code was to enhance compatibility with the virtual machine and Leopard.
I was having some issues using version 3 that I bought during the Tiger era (I think - actually started with v2) and they went away with version 4. Version 4 does work with Snow Leopard, and Parallels did come out with a free incremental update for v4 - 2 days before the Snow Leopard release. I suppose that this latest update was also supposed to provide better compatibility with Snow Leopard. Parallels was probably one of the vendors that took advantage of developer's access to the Snow Leopard beta's and they seem to be trying to keep up with the new OS's changes in design.
Now I'm waiting for Parallels to build a 64bit version of their program (which I expect to pay an upgrade fee for). I'm guessing we'll see some pretty good speed improvements if the code is re-written again (probably v5) to take advantage of the new architecture.
If you don't wish to upgrade to programs that can take advantage of what Snow Leopard was designed to do, then Leopard or even Tiger will probably work fine for you. Apple is still going to maintain security updates and bug fixes for them for the foreseeable future.
in what is billed as a simple no impact upgrade
What Apple actually said is that there would be very few changes to the GUI. They stressed that this update is mainly to enable a better 64 bit platform for future programs, the ability to use an absurd amount of ram, and compatibility with other systems like MS Exchange.
I have now eight different applications which are developed for the Mac OS
I guess you mean a Mac OS. This is far from the hundreds of applications that were rendered useless by the Leopard upgrade which dropped support for all OS9 programs. Many people had to find new games that were developed in this century or new word processing programs, or even convert their old graphics files to gifs and jpgs.
That was really painful for some as there are no replacements for some of those programs at all.
no WiFi
Certainly some sort of corruption, or even an actual bug. That's the nature of a bug. It might have just gotten fixed with the 10.6.1 update, or it will be with one of the next updates to come out, or you have a problem in your user account preferences, or some other issue. Anybody who works for a living in the IT industry knows better than to upgrade a computer to a .0 version of any program or OS, and they have backups in case there are serious problems. Let others break in a new OS before you break down. Hopefully, the machine you upgraded wasn't used for income, without having a bootable backup?
My first computer training was on a Burroughs 3500 Mainframe in the early '70s - Many computer hardware's have come my way away since then. They all cost a bundle at the time, and I used each for the best performance I could afford. You'll have to decide the value of any upgrades or updates and that does require research.
Google is my friend.

Question about Snow Leopard and my Macbook Black

I have a macbook black and run it with 4gb of ram right now--the new info for snow leopard says that the OS will support 8gb+ ... is there a hardware issue on a late 2007 macbook black that's preventing this or will I be able to drop 8gb of ram in this guy once i upgrade the os?

Yes, considering that Snow Leopard (10.6.x) will theoretically support up to 16TB of RAM (Even though that is not possible right now on a consumer machine) it does not mean your hardware will support it. If you have only hardware capable of utilizing 4 GB of RAM, then no matter what the OS's max is, if the RAM slots and the rest of the hardware can not address or otherwise interact with the RAM, it will not be supported, and considering you do not have a MacBook Pro, iMac, or Mac Pro, you will not be able to address this amount of RAM, and could cause problems. If you need 8 GB of RAM, then look into this computer for notebooks:
13": http://store.apple.com/us/configure/MB991LL/A?mco=NjcxMTQ5Mg
15": http://store.apple.com/us/configure/MC118LL/A?mco=NjcxMTU2OQ
17": http://store.apple.com/us/configure/MC226LL/A?mco=NjcxMTU1OQ
or for desktops: iMacs: 20": http://store.apple.com/us/configure/MB417LL/A?mco=NDE4Mzg3Ng
24": http://store.apple.com/us/configure/MB420LL/A?mco=NDE4Mzg5OQ
For Mac Pros: Quad-Core: http://store.apple.com/us/configure/MB871LL/A?mco=NDE4NDIwNA
and for 8-Core: http://store.apple.com/us/configure/MB535LL/A?mco=NDE4NDIyMQ
The 8-core machine can come with up to 32 GB, but for 32 GB of RAM from Apple, it is $6100 extra from the original 6GB that comes standard. For the best deal for the amount of power you get for how much you pay would be the Mac Pro, and for notebooks it would be the MacBook Pro, and if you are doing the things that soak up RAM like video editing, you would want a 15" or 17" MacBook Pro or a 24" iMac, because the screen size would be best for displaying your RAM-soaking applications. If you need tons of power (talking 3.2+ Gigaflops a second) you would want to get a Mac Pro, with a 24" or 30" external display screen. You could also get a 3rd party screen for less, but if you want all of the features of the Apple Display, you should go for this option. Also, the Mac Pro can support more that 1 24" cinema display if configured correctly, which can be combined to make a really wide screen, perfect for the ultimate multitasker. Hope that was of help.

Front Row in Snow Leopard fails with Airport Extreme disk

I'm using an Airport Extreme basestation (fast ethernet) to connect a USB hard drive over ethernet to my Mac Mini (1.83 Core 2 Duo with 1 GB RAM) running Snow Leopard. If I put an alias to my movies folder (all H264) on the Airport disk in my Movies folder on the Mini's HD, Front Row can see them. However, when I attempt to play a movie from the Airport disk, Front Row hangs with a black screen for several minutes and then reports an error relating to unrecognized file format. After this error Front Row will sometimes even fail to see other files that it previously saw on the Airport disk. If I move the same movies to the Movies folder on the Mini, Front Row sees them and plays them with no trouble. I did not rename the movies when I moved them to the Mini.
All of this worked properly in Leopard.
It seems as though Snow Leopard is losing connection to the Airport disk in Front Row, although the connected disk still works properly in Finder.
Any thoughts?

I have similar problems.
I have an AirPort Extreme with two USB hard drives connected to it. One drive is for media such as our iTunes library and some movies. The other drive is used as TimeMachine backup.
After upgrading to Snow Leopard we only have sporadic access to the media drive with our two laptops (MacBook Pro and MacBook) and the TimeMachine backups have stopped working completely because TM can not connect to drive. Sometimes Finder can se the drives, but most of the time it does not. When drives are visible in Finder, most of the time we can not browse the folders on the drives at all.
AirPort Utility can detect the AirPort Extreme but when I attempt to configure the unit manually the program can not read the AirPort Extreme's configuration.
The AirPort appears to work all right when it comes to accessing the internet.
Apple needs to fix this AirPort debacle ASAP!

Snow leopard upgrade and iweb 09

Hey Guys-
so.. I bought SL a couple of weeks ago and scared to upgrade... seeing so many complaints about iweb issues with publishing after upgrade.
Thoughts? Anyone having trouble? or not?
thanks, Lisa

Lisa, I upgraded to snow leopard a couple of weeks ago and I would strongly advise you to hold off doing so. Although I haven't experienced any problems with iWeb, all of the Adobe software is now a problem and I'm also having serious finder and font issues.

Snow Leopard Screws Up iWeb Fonts

Immediately after I installed Snow Leopard, I began having font spacing problems in iWeb. There's now a lot of space before each line of text that wasn't there before. Essentially, Snow Leopard is adding a bunch of "leading" to each line. HELP!!!!!

Steve ~ If you're publishing to MobileMe, MobileMe live chat support is now 24/7 — see this announcement. You can also let Apple know via this form:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html
Another approach is to join the +Apple Developer Connection+ — the +ADC Online+ category is free, here:
...then you can use this to create a trackable problem report:
...And no, you don't need to be a "developer" to join — just an Apple user who wants to make sure Apple knows there's a bug and have the ability to track its resolution.

Logic 9.01 / Snow Leopard / problems with Sonata-font !

Is anybody here working with the adobe sonata score-font on Logic 9.01 and SL ?
Since I updated to 9.01 and OSX 10.61 I cannot not use it anymore - everytime i open the score-editor the CPU-usage goes up to 100% and Logic freezes when clicking inside the score.
Any Experiences / Solutions ?
On Logic 9.0 and OSX 10.58 it worked perfectly, the problem occured after updating to snow Leopard.
Thanks

Where are you changing the tempo? In the transport bar?
Try going to the "Lists>Tempo" tab on the right and set it there and see if it works

What's the best way to use a cloned Snow Leopard drive with an iBook?

My aging and ailing MacBook Pro is going in for Apple Care.
I've made a clone of its hard drive and would like to keep working this week using an iBook G4. Alas, an external drive with Snow Leopard will not boot from an iBook. I did format the drive as an Apple Partition Map, so I can see it from the iBook and work with its files--but it will not start up from it.
I forsee screw-ups as I work with some programs and files on the iBook and others off the hard drive. Eudora, e.g., requires its In Box and Out Boxes to reside on the boot drive; many of my favorite programs take their settings from the start up computer, not the external drive. That means there will be all sorts of settings-- e.g., Word, Excel's, iKey's --that will need setting on the iBook or copying over to it.
Alternatively, I could downgrade the external drive to Leopard or even Tiger so I can boot from it and work with the files that way. I think that will require having to reformat the external drive--which means no direct cloning of the MBP drive to it! It also would preclude an easy 1-step restore (I'd have to clone it back to the MBP and then upgrade to SL).
Unsure which way makes the most sense-- or if there's another way I haven't thought of. I do have additional hard drives to play with (e.g., I made another SL clone of the entire MBP drive).
Any ideas, suggestions welcome!

Appreciate that extra tidbit, although that's not exactly true, is it? I mean, I had a cloned Leopard MBP and a cloned Tiger hard drive that do boot from the iBook!
If we could distinguish and separate the hardware drivers, download them from Apple etc., then it could be said we can use a clone on another model of Mac provided: A, B and C are met.
But since Apple has changed from OS 9 to OS X, PowerPC 32 bit to 64 bit, PowerPC to to Intel 32 bit, Intel 32 bit to 64 bit, locks the drivers to certain install disk versions and changes hardware around constantly, including changing the OS and making it not run on earlier versions of hardware, sideways stuff like A4/A5 processors, causing such a cluster mess of confusion and obscuration that it's better to say NOT than trying to find the tiny possibilities that it can happen.
If it does happen, lucky you, likely won't happen for any duration worth relying upon.

Installation Options for iMovie HD on Snow Leopard system with iLife '09

Greetings and thank-you for contributing suggestions on what is a well worn subject. I have read many of the posts existing on this topic and am trying to nip some details.
I have a late 2006 iMac that came with Tiger and iMovie HD which is now at version 6.0.3. When I upgraded to Snow Leopard (Boxed Set) I got iLife 09 but, as it was supposed to do, it left me iMovie HD which is what I have used. I have both sets of installation DVD's. (from the iMac and the SL upgrade)
Today I got a new MacMini and am plotting how to get iMovie HD on it.
I gather that I first need to remove iMovie 09 from the Mini. I do that by dragging its application bundle in finder to the trash and removing any receipt packages.
Do I have to remove all of the iLife 09 applications or just iMovie 09?
Then, I reinstall either all of iLife 06 from the iMac DVD or just iMovie HD. After that I can load iLife 09 from the SL DVD. That will leave the iMovie HD on the system but upgrade everything else.
Should I run software update from iMovie HD to try to get the 6.0.3 version or download and run the upgrade image? Does it matter?
I am good to go. Did I miss anything?
I also have a SuperDuper clone of the iMac system. Another possibility is to boot from that and clone it to the new Mini. Does anyone think this is a better idea?
Thanks again for the insights of your experience.

I think the issue is that if you install iMovie 06 on a system with iMovie 09 installed, iMovie 6 has no knowledge that iMovie 09 exists. Therefore iMovie 6 installs itself in the iMovie folder in the Applications Folder and assumes anything in there is old and can be trashed.
Apple fixed this with iMovie 6.04, but this is no longer available.
But if you install iMovie 6 first, and iMovie 9 second, iMovie 9 knows about iMovie 6 and will move it to a folder called "iMovie - Previous Versions".
In your case, I would uninstall iMovie 09 as you started to do, then run the migration assistant, then reinstall iMovie 09.
It should also work to create a folder on your old system called "iMovie - Previous Versions". Drag the iMovie 6 app into this folder and verify that it works. Then do the Migration Assistant. This should work, but I hesitate to recommend it because I have not tested it. Best case, it installs and you did not even have to uninstall iMovie 09. Worst case, delete the iMovie folder and reinstall iMovie 09.
For what its worth, I recently did a Migration Assistant from a SuperDuper clone (after a failed hard disk) that had both iMovie 09 and iMovie 6 installed, and it worked fine. But I have not tried your scenario.
I would use Migration Assistant because then you have the correct version of Snow Leopard for your system. You may not if you use a clone. A new machine may have microcode that is not released to the general release of OSX for several months. If your Mini is a used one and at least 6 months old, a clone should work OK.
