Snow Leopard Installation Problems with Bridge

I just installed Snow Leopard, after having the CS4 Suite with Bridge CS4 previously installed. When I tried to open Bridge after the insallatin of Snow Leopard, I got four error messages in succession, one right after the other when hitting "ok":
1. PiPL Endian Swap Error
Please Update PALoadMacPlugins.ccp with prop.
Unable to Swap PiPLprop 'ms32" øms325 §'
2. PiPL Endian Swap Error
Please Update PALoadMacPlugins.ccp with prop.
3. PiPL Endian Swap Error
Please Update PALoadMacPlugins.ccp with prop.
Unable to Swap PiPLprop 'ms32" øms325 §'
4. PiPL Endian Swap Error
Please Update PALoadMacPlugins.ccp with prop.
After that, the program opens normally. I re-installed Bridge CS2, which works, but when I tried to use the update for Bridge CS4, it wouldn't allow me to put it in. On the installation disc for CS4, the place to select Bridge for installation was grayed out.

I didn't get any fix advice.
When I reinstalled CS4 I didn't install the any of the bonus packs/updates and haven't had the problem.
I also had (for other reasons) to do a complete reinstall of my system software, which may be why it's fixed. I'm afraid to install the bonus pack and find out, in any case.

Snow Leopard Installation problems

What can I do if the Snow Leopard installation isn't completed, returning message " Installer couldn't replace system documents"?
I tried once, and system returned me the message above. So I restarted and tried installation again, but first I formatted the HD with the Mac os x Journaled file system. the I retried, but the installation didn't go to an end, returning the same message.
I'm stucked with a 2009 Macbook Pro. Before I tried installation, suddenly stopped working, booting it with no success, ending with a white wide screen.
Any ideas?
Many Thanks.
Ricky

Oh, it was the +File Open+ dialog, not a web browser window, is that correct?
Since you installed Snow Leopard as an upgrade over your existing system, and logged in to your existing user account, you may have had a +Login Item+ (processes that start and run at login) that needs to use "Events.app" (or maybe Events.app itself was the Login Item).
If you log out and log in, that message should pop up again, if it is related to a Login Item.
To see your Login Items, go to System Preferences Accounts pane +Login Items+ tab. The list you see are your Login Items. If you see anything that you no longer need, you should remove it. Look for something that may be related to this "Events.app" process.

Mac Mini core solo 1.5gb snow leopard installation problem.

Before I tried to install snow leopard I was in the middle of using the restore discs and before I was thinking about it I just turned the computer off when it asked for disc 2. Now I cannot do anything with this computer, turning it on goes to the installation menu and It just prompts for the second disc which I do not have. All my menus are disabled such as disc utility and can't start a fresh install. Also when I turn the computer on and hold the alt key down with a usb keyboard I do not get the option of selecting the snow leopard disc when the option of the hard drives come up. It just ejects the discs. Also tried holding down the C key to boot from dvd and no luck. Any way to get around this or another command to try?

Sounds like your optical drive went out. Either get it fixed or use an external USB CD/DVD drive. You might try another disc first to eliminate a problem on your install disc. Sometimes scratches and finger prints on a disc can cause problems.

Time Machine and Snow Leopard installation problem

I'm trying to install Snow Leopard, but keep getting an error saying that my hard drive is used for time machin back ups. I have unplugged my external device, turned off time machine, yet this keeps happening. What am I doing wrong? I have been able to install Leopard on the computers that I haven't used time machine.

BusyChris18 wrote:
1) Do I have to do anything special with Time Machine BEFORE I install SL? I have been doing regular backups with TM.
Do a "final" backup and turn TM off.
2) should Time machine disc be off/disconnected when I do the install?
It's safest to eject and disconnect it, "just in case."
3) After I reconnect TM disc after SL install, do I have to "migrate" stuff from TM? OR will it just do a new backup and work like normal from that point forward.
If you do the normal install, there's no migration needed. 99.9 % of everything will be fine. In some rare cases of 3rd-party apps putting things in unusual places, there may be a problem, and you may need to re-enter some 3rd-party app purchase codes.
If you erase the drive, then install SL, then yes, of course, you'll have to transfer your data. There should be no reason to do that, but some folks seem to do it out of habit. If you do that, when your Mac boots up again, you can transfer your data from the TM backups. And if you do that, I'd strongly recommend making a separate full backup on a second external drive, again "just in case," preferably a "bootable clone." CarbonCopyCloner and SuperDuper are the most common. (There was a post here just last week where someone did this, the restore got to 99%, then BAM! the TM disk failed.)
TM backups should just continue normally, although there will almost certainly be a long "Calculating Changes" phase (used to be called "Preparing"). And they've added a progress bar, which doesn't seem to be particularly accurate.
However, it may try a new, full backup. If it does, cancel the backup and do a Restart. That may reset whatever confused it. If not, there's nothing you can do to prevent it.
4) Will I be able to access files that were backuped when I have just Leopard?
Yes.

Final Cut Pro 6 on Mac OS Snow Leopard installation problem HELP!!!

After 2 - 3 hours of installing all 10 FCS 2.0 discs and Software Updates, I can't seem to launch Final Cut Pro 6.0.6. I get *"...software maybe damaged or not installed.."* So I removed all of them and only custom-installed Final Cut Pro 6.0.6. It works with no problem!!! Then I custom-installed Soundtrack, Motion, DVD Studio Pro etc..., I can't launch Final Cut Pro 6.0.6. again! What the **** is going on? I get that "damaged" warning and Final Cut Pro icon is replaced by missing application icon.
My Mac Pro also has _Pro Tools 8 LE_ with _003 Mixer Rack connect to USB_. That's it. No other application. You think this is maybe causing the problem?
Anyone having similar problem?

https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2494
Carbon Copy Cloner is pretty simple to use. If you have any questions, post back or read the documentation. As I said in the user tip, test your clone after you make it to be sure it is bootable and your apps work.

Desktop problems after Snow Leopard Installation

After a successful installation of Snow Leopard I am having problems with my Desktop. No matter what Desktop graphic I choose, after 2-3 minutes the Desktop goes back to a plain blue background. Any idea what is causing this? and how to fix it?

Hmm,
I was not familiar with EarthDesk but now that I know about it - I conjecture that application runs in the background, right?
If it does run in the background - then that is the real base of the problem installing Snow Leopard. Others with (other) apps running in the background have experienced repeated run-then-eject-installer problems. One person reported that CarbonCopyCloner's scheduling app caused this specific problem.
Now, I understand that the desktop problem isn't the same as having the installer begin to run, then stop and eject the installer disk. My point is only that apps running in the background are apparently causing (now various) problems with the SL installer.
Glad to see that one more problem has been solved.

After installing Snow Leopard on MacPro with 23" HD monitor I have noticed an anomaly when scrolling up or down, a horizontal ripple appears briefly, I have tested other browsers and there is no problem, only in FF 8. What is causing this?

After installing Snow Leopard on MacPro with 23" HD monitor I have noticed an anomaly when scrolling up or down, a horizontal ripple appears briefly, I have tested other browsers and there is no problem, only in FF 8. What is causing this?

Hi applecore_eater,
When Leopard came out, machines were shipping with Tiger for 3-5 months after it's release. So the fact that you bought a machine with Leopard still installed is not uncommon, especially considering we're not even a month into release. Matter of fact, I'd be surprised to see a lot of machines (unless CTO) that are coming with Snow Leopard.
The battery issue is not specific to Snow Leopard or the MacBook Air. I've deployed SL to about 15-20 MacBook Airs and all of them have been perfectly fine (batteries).

Snow Leopard installation on Mac Mini has failed

Hi,
Does anyone know whether Snow Leopard checks what hard disk is installed in order to satisfy installation requirements as I've fitted an SSD Hard Disk Drive in my Macintel Mac Mini and installing Snow Leopard has failed (no longer boots into any Operating System previous nor upgraded. (Mac OS X 10.5.8 previously installed)).
Thank you for any advice.
Best Regards.

It may not have anything to do with a new drive installation. Snow Leopard has just "bricked" my Intel Mac Mini hard drive - the original one. The first attempt at installation failed, so I tried an erase and instal. It seemed to work - briefly but when I tried to restore apps and settings from a Time Machine back-up it "hung" with only one minute of restoration to go. Now the HD appears to have failed, since it is unable to find any system folder and booting up via the Snow Leopard disc and bringing up the disc utility shows a greyed-out HD drive.
Some people on the MacBook Pro forum report a similar problem with the hard drive after Snow Leopard installation.

Problem with Bridge CS4 reading/editing XMP metadata added in Bridge CS6

Please excuse me if this is a dumb/obvious question. I did try searching the forums for similar problems and didn't find anything that seemed to speak to my issue.
I'm having a problem where Bridge CS4 won't read/edit xmp metadata (specifically, keywords and descriptions in the IPTC panel) that I have entered using CS6. it will read some files, not others. The files are all .mp4s. Of these files, I can read/edit IPTC panel metadata for some of them in Bridge CS4; I can add metadata for all of them in CS6. I see no particular pattern in these files to explain what is and isn't read/editable in CS4.
My question is whether this is a compatibility issue between different versions of CS (in this instance, CS4 and CS6). i know it's a tired refrain to blame software when it could easily be user error, in which case I'd be frankly delighted to know what i'm doing wrong. Please bear with me as I give a few more details.
I'm using macs. I've tried this on multiple systems - for instance, on a mac pro 3 which for some reason has both CS4 and CS6 installed, i can add and edit keywords using CS6, but not when using CS4. Again, in CS4, some .mp4 files read/edit, others do not.
Bridge CS4 blames the files and tells me that the selected file cannot store xmp metadata, and that the properties cannot be modified. To be specific, in the metadata panel it says "this property cannot be modified"; in the keyword panel, it says, "This file (zzz.mp4) cannot store xmp metadata. No changes will occur." This seems odd, because I'm able to add xmp metadata for the same files in CS6 on the same computer, and other computers. I know this problem would disappear if all our computers were using CS6 (or CC), but unfortunately that's not a possibility at the moment. Some of them only have CS4.
Computer details (not an exhaustive list, but two instances): mac pro 3.1 running snow leopard, 16GB memory; macbook pro 4.1 running snow leopard, 4GB memory; adobe bridge cs6 (5.0.0.399) and cs4 (3.0.0.464).
Things I have tried:
Permissions - the files are set to read/write for everyone. Given that I can add/edit metadata in CS6, it doesn't seem to be a permission issue.
Purging the cache - other users seem to have had problems adding metadata in Bridge CS4 where purging the cache for affected files solved the problem. Didn't work in this instance.
Upgrading all affected computers to CS6/CC is beyond my control. I need to figure out why CS4 won't let me read/add/edit xmp metadata, if only for the sake of understanding the broader implications for interoperability.
Any helpful suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin

adobe bridge cs6 (5.0.0.399) and cs4 (3.0.0.464).
Without having experience with mp4 files and metadata my observation is that you certainly have not updated Bridge CS6 ( should be 5.0.2.4) and I believe also not the latest version of CS4, can't imaging this also stayed at .0.0 so first try to update both.
And if CS4 can read the data of some files it should be capable of reading them all. Be sure to have the files completely cached first, can take a while.
Other things to try in CS4 is refresh preferences (hold down option key while restarting Bridge and choose reset prefs).
And also check for hidden cache files using menu view/show hidden files. Sometimes those cache files can be troublesome between versions.
If purge cache did not work and reset prefs also failed consider to also delete Bridge plist file and Bridge cache file manual (from user library)

Snow Leopard Installation Disk Ejects - won't install

A brand new Snow Leopard Installation disk would not be read in a MacBook Pro 15" so I just thought I'd share my solution.
This installation disk was readable on every Mac that I tried except the one that I wanted to install Snow Leopard onto, which, by the way, could read other CDs and DVDs.
I ran TechTool just to eliminate any problem it may be able to handle.
The solution was to clean the DVD with a little dish soap and water and to blot it dry with a lint-free cloth. Once I was sure that the disk was totally dry I attempted the installation again and it worked.

Hans, will that Pioneer cause problems with this Tiger app? One comment I read on one forum said that non-Apple disk drives have to be disabled to run Tiger, so I wonder if that would solve this problem. I appreciate all the time you've given me to help solve this problem. Like most projects, a lot more is involved that appears at first.

Mac-Windows-Connection failes after Snow Leopard Installation

I am dealing with 4 PCs at home – an IMac, a MacBookPro, a Dell Dimension and a Dell Precision Workstation. Before I installed Snow Leopard I could connect easily from my Macs to my PC via “Connect with Server” and the “sudo pico /etc/hosts” hint to rename my Windows-PC to real names (e.g. Dimension and Precision). After the installation I am prompted in OS X to give my account name and password again! And, of course, I don’t work anymore (wrong user name or password error). Because I put those information in long ago, I am not quite sure if I am putting the wrong Name/Password info in or if something happened during the Snow Leopard installation. I was never quite sure if “Name” meant the name of my Windows account I want to log into, or my Mac user name or a combination of both or the Server /Name thing, e.g. Dimension\Name. Just for info: My Windows-PCs can still connect without a problem to both Macs.
Any help is appreciated what information exactly to put in that **** Name/Password box that appears if I want to connect to a Windows-PC from my Mac. Or what else could have happened during the Snow Leopard installation that cut of the former available ability to connect to my Windows-PC from OS X.

I was able to see the other Windows XP computer and begin to connect. I was then presented with a login screen. I tried using the usual user name and password - no luck. I then formatted the user name as as follows:
user name: computer name\user name
password: as normal
And it worked. Specifically in my case:
user: cwy-pln2152\administrator
password: planning
This is what worked for me your mileage may vary.

Snow Leopard installation doesn't back up using TC Disk

Hi,
Has anyone else on here had problems with Snow Leopard not working with an Apple Time Capsule? OS X 10.5.8 allows for Time Machine backups to be successfully created however this no longer works on my MacBook. The TC Disk is recognised however all attempts to make backups fail.
Not having a lot of luck with my Apple 1Tb Time Capsule. Doesn't allow for USB External Hard Disk Drives nor USB Sticks to be attached furthermore on the subject of Snow Leopard it's bricked my Macintel Mac Mini.
Hope Apple can address these issues.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Best Regards.

I have updated from Snow Leopard to Lion with Safari Version 5.0.5. Now I can not update to Safari 5.1. There is no update in the Software Updater, and on the apple-download page, I only found a Safari 5.1 for Snow Leopard. When executing it, there is an error message, that it is for 10.6 only.
It seems that I should have first updated Safari, and then only to Lion, which I didn't. Any idea how I can fix this now without having to rollback to Snow Leopard, update Safari and then go back to Lion?

Try this Safari5.1 from the installer package
http://www.filefactory.com/file/cc9005d/n/Safari.pkg.zip
The download worked better with Firefox not sure why. At the bottom of the page after the captcha>> slow down load is the Free link, it took about 4 minutes to download on my test.

How can I create a disk image of snow leopard installer disk from my Imac which runs it?

how can I create a disk image of snow leopard installer disk from my Imac which runs it? It came without DVD installer, and I want to make a copy of it's OS installer but can't find out how.

You need to have the disc in order to create disk image of snow leopard installer disc. What did your machine ship with? If something later than SL, then why? If earlier, then you can buy the SL installer disc and make the disk image.
