  • Frustrating Snow Leopard Upgrade Causing 'connection timeout'

    WIFI problem no connection due to a connection timeout everytime i try and connect to my home wifi network (wired ethernet ok no problem).
    There seems no way out from this.  Apart from downgrading back to a usable Leopard installation which I have done and tried to upgrade again. 
    Unfortunately i need Snow Leopard at minimum for some software to work but that knocks out my internet connection.
    I have tried everything I have found.  The only thing that reliably works is to set it back in the time machine before upgrade.\\
    Some bug exists in upgrading, and it remains with removing system setting plist files, adding extra network locations, altering MTU, adding dns (never even connects to router under SL. so its not hardware), repairing permissions.
    Everything else connects fine.
    ANYONE HAVE ANY EXTRA INSIGHTS ? 
    Seems like lots of people have had this issue on upgrading to snowleopard.

  • Snow Leopard upgrade caused slowdown

    I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard on both my Macbook and iMac.  Since the upgrade, both computers are running slow providing me with a wonderful spinning beach ball to watch, and watch, and watch.  Safari and iPhoto are especially affected with iPhoto hanging up every time I click done after editing.  Many force quits have been required.  I wish I could go back.  Any solutions?

  • Snow Leopard upgrade causes  screen black out and freeze

    I have Mac Pro (2008) 3.1 with ATI Radeon HD 2600. During the installation of the Snol Leopard my screen went black and only switch off and on worked. After the problem happened more ofter especially when the system came back from sleep mode. Again several switch off and on helped. Later the screen went black just during normal usage. I have tried to get the screen with vnc from a laptop and it worked.
    On the console I have seen windowsserver erros when the screen went black. After the screen just froze and the cursor turned to a transparent square. Whole system become unresponsive. The problem came more and more often. I was so desperate that I had to reinstall 10.5 again and I do not have the problem any longer.
    Any idea what the problem can be?

    HI,
    Boot from your install disc and check the startup disk for errors.
    Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    *(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart
    While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*
    Also, run the Apple Hardware Test

  • Strange Snow Leopard/iMac email/Safari problem

    I just got my daughter a new iMac (10.6.4) and she is having strange graphics issues. Some websites using Safari and some emails using Apple Mail have all the text replaced by small squares with an "A" in them - mostly black but some blue.
    I've been around Macs for awhile but I've never seen anything like this. Default encoding on Safari is Western (ISO Latin 1) which is what I use without issues. Hers is happening in both mail and Safari.
    Any ideas before we call Apple?
    Here is a png of a bad email - http://www.goodguysposse.org/temporary/BadEmail.png
    Message was edited by: Denny Granger

    Here is a site that comes up with the boxed "A". http://appletoolbox.com/
    I'm pretty sure the site isn't a problem as it comes up fine on my iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro & Mac Pro. Since my daughter's iMac is only a couple of weeks old, I thought there might be a setting or preference that is at fault.

    Video: Software Final Cut Pro X  10.0.8
    I use the imac mainly for editing Video which when doing so it has reached temperatures of near to 60° C which causes the program to become unstable and needs to be cooled down to operate correctly.
    An Apple technician (by phone) advised me to download an smcfancontrol.  This allows each individual fan to increase speed and also advises the current temperature at °C.  The smcfancontrol has been downloaded but this has not resolved the problem.  By increasing the speed of the fan more heat is generated and creates additional noise. 
    I have since taken the iMac to an Apple Store for examination as suggested by APPLECARE when the fans were found to be working correctly.  An Apple Store technician carried out a test, but not whilst working under the pressure of FINAL CUT PRO when the iMac generates a high temperature.
    The Temperature Specification  for this model is
    Operating Temperature 20 °c to 35°C
    Storage Temp.47°c
    Clearly the temperature my iMac  is operating at is excessive and could cause the computer to break down prematurely.  Has anyone experienced this problem.

    When was the last time you cleaned/vacuumed out all of your iMac's vents, slots and ports.
    You need to do this with the iMac powered down, disconnected from power and everything disconnected.
    Lay your iMac, screen down, on a soft surface, like a heavy towel. Use a small electronics vac, or portable or full size vac with hose and a crevice tool attachment and carefully and slowly vacuum every vent, slot and port on your iMac.
    Then reconnect everything up, power up and download and install iStat Pro. Start working, then report the temps of your iMac after this has been done.
    When using SMCFan Control, it is important not to run the fans at too high an RPM. This doesn't generate heat on its own, but will suck in more dust, lint and dirt into your iMac, and that will be the cause of additonal increases in heat.
    I run my fans in the range of 1400-1600 RPMs. You can go as high as 1800 RPMs but it is important to keep the RPM range below either 1800 or below 2000 RPMs.
    I, also, run a very small desktop fan pointed toward the upper back of my iMac to keep temps down even further.

  • PS3 and Safari crashes after Snow Leopard upgrade

    How is everyone enjoying the crashes after their Snow Leopard upgrade? I can't save a photo using PS3, or download a photo to flickr or facebook without a crash. PS3 crashes, Safari crashes and work flow is at a crawl? Spoke with tech yesterday and they told me that this would stop if I downloaded Snow Leopard again, which I did, but the problem wasn't resolved. To top it off, I lost permissions on the iMac and can't use the computer. Please tell me where all of the accolades came from? Were the reviews done by people who actually work on their computers or by people who play on them? Oh, and another thing, lost my wireless access to the router and had to start all over. Be careful here, this has not been fun!

    Excuse me, I meant to write CS3 instead of PS3.

  • I upgraded to snow leopard, since then safari does open in the dock but does not load as set in my preferences and the title page remains blank even though I have set-up a home page. I completely re-initialised safari, but no change.

    I upgraded to snow leopard, since then safari does open in the dock (white dot) but does not startup as set in system preferences. Also, if I open safari, the title page remains blank even though I have set a home page under safari's preferences. I re-initialised safari, but no change.

    Having put my home-page under "new windows open with home-page" solves the "blank title page problem".
    One problem left: "safari" does not startup automatically as set in system preferences, whereas "mail", also set for startup DOES startup

  • Wifi problems since 10.5.8 Update. Even after Snow Leopard Upgrade.

    Wifi problems since 10.5.8 Update. Even after Snow Leopard Upgrade.
    Is there any way to use a 10.5.7 wireless .kext files on Snow Leopard? And where can I find the files?

    Ok, I have the fix!! After several frustrating days it finally just works.
    The process:
    Upgrade your Macs to 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
    Powercycle your modem AND time capsule / airport TWICE
    Reset your time capsule with a pin or paperclip on the back
    Follow the prompts to setup your time capsule / airport access
    -- On your Macs
    Go to System Preferences > Network > Airport > Advanced > TCP/IP
    Click "Renew DHCP Lease" then click "Ok"
    Click Apply
    Turn off Airport
    Turn Airport on
    IT WORKS!!!
    One of the magical people at tech support walked me through it earlier today. The whole process took about 1.5 hrs because Show Leopard takes about an hour to install on one machine.
    Hope this helps-

  • Problems w/MS Office 2008 & Google Earth Ever Since Snow Leopard "Upgrade"

    I probably should have checked this forum before taking my son's advice to upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6. Ever since this upgrade, I've had repeated and frustrating problems with two applications: MS Office 2008 for the Mac and Google Earth for the Mac.
    Note that I did an "in-place" upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard, i.e., I inserted the installation DVD into my iMac and then double-clicked on "Install Mac OS X".
    Office 2008: Ever since the Snow Leopard upgrade, MS Office 2008 has been crashing. Typically, it's Entourage crashing when a crash does occur because that's the office app that I run 95% of the time. However, whenever Entourage crashes and I try to launch Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, they won't launch either... The icons will bounce a few times in the dock but won't run. (The Entourage crash is the only Office App that actually generates a crash window.) Note that there are two identities configured on my iMac, both of which which use Entourage. The key thing about this situation is that when the Office 2008 crash does occur, restarting the iMac ALWAYS resolves the problem until the next time a crash occurs. I've tried to determine what combination of events, i.e., apps open/being used in either/both identities, etc. is the trigger, but I can't find anything obvious. Sometimes I can use the iMac for a whole day without a crash, but that's unusual. If Entourage is left open in both identities, maybe a couple of days will pass without a crash, but invariably it happens again, and then it's reboot time again. In cases where Entourage is left running (in one or both identities), we will still eventually get a crash in one of them if one of us tries to open a WinWord attachment (with a "Not enough memory to run Word" error). If at that point I close Entourage and try to restart it, it crashes. I've tried everything I could find on the Office for the Mac forums, including deleting duplicate fonts, doing a safe start-up, fixing disk permissions via Disk Utility, zapping the PRAM, turning filing sharing off then on (including deleting everything listed in the Shared Folders section), logging out/logging back in, etc., all to no avail. One of the Office 2008 for the Mac forum contributors suggested that the problem was with my Snow Leopard Install, but then a contributor to another more general Apple forum blames Office for Mac. (This is exactly the sort of finger-pointing exercise that I'd hoped to avoid when I made the plunge from being a long-time Windows user to becoming an OS X user...; - )
    Google Earth: This just flat-out WILL NOT RUN ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard. When I try to run it, it bounces in the dock for about a minute then just stops, staying fixed to the dock until I do a Force-Quit. (I don't have it permanently tethered to the dock since I only use it occasionally.) I've tried deleting/reinstalling, including Google Earth's suggestions to remove files from my identity's Google Earth folder in the Library folder, but no dice.
    My take on all of this is that despite all of Apple's advertising to the contrary, their OS (including updates to their OS) isn't necessarily as trouble-free/stable as their anti-Windows spots would have you believe. Sorry for this long post, but any help would be much appreciated.

    I left my system running all day in 64-bit kernel mode. (I left Entourage running the whole time.) Just now closed Entourage and tried reopening it. Same deal with Google Earth. They both crashed. Here's a screen paste of the entire Microsoft crash log for Entourage:

  • Aperture 2.1.4 Crashing after Snow Leopard Upgrade

    Hi All
    Upgraded to Snow Leopard today and then shortly after a successful upgrade, also upgraded Aperture to 2.1.4 via software update.
    It now crashes almost immediately after launch giving the output below. It would seem that the "library not loaded" part would be the cause.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I had this same error message, removed Aperture and all receipts, re-installed Aperture 2.0 from the CD, and installed the upgrade to 2.1.4. When I launched it, I got the same error message. I have no plug-ins installed. Any other ideas?
    Thanks so much.
    Edit: Also, I upgraded my MacBook Air to Snow Leopard and had no problem, but on my Mac Pro where I'm having the problem, I installed Snow Leopard on a clean drive and transferred all of my data from a Time Machine back-up.

  • Update Flash after doing Snow Leopard upgrade

    Just as an FYI: I upgraded from 10.5.8 to 10.6 this morning. Before the upgrade I had the latest version of Flash (10,0,32,18). After the upgrade I had an earlier one--I don't remember which one exactly, but it was something like 10,0,23,? or so. You can check your Flash version here:
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    Anyway, be sure to update Flash after you do the Snow Leopard upgrade.

    Sounds like you've damaged your system by forcing it to quit and restart in the middle of installing. You probably also had something wrong with your machine that was interfering with the installation in the first place, as the Snow Leopard installer is ordinarily pretty good at failing without damaging anything if something causes it to fail.
    I would advise [repairing the hard drive with Disk Utility|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417]. If that fails, you'll need to erase and repartition the hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard from scratch. If repair works, but you still can't boot, you probably have corruption in important system files. You could try installing Snow Leopard over it at this point, while booted from the Snow Leopard disk. If repair shows no problems, post back here, as you've got something a little more exotic than simple hard disk damage going on.
    Do you have a backup? If not, it's possible all your data might be gone at this point, depending on what exactly has gone wrong with your computer. You can try to back up from Disk Utility running from the Mac OS X install disk... see the Restore tab. You'll need an external hard drive to which to copy.

  • Severe snow leopard and software update problems

    I just upgraded to Snow Leopard in order to get support for my iPhone 4. Ever since then there have been serious problems.
    1. The Snow Leopard upgrade kept bringing up the "you must shut your computer down" grey screen. I had to attempt several installs before it FINALLY installed. I figured I was in the clear.
    2. Now software update crashes the computer (same "you must shut your computer down" screen) anytime I try to install ANY update.
    3. I've run disk utility and repaired the disk and also fixed permissions, it doesn't help.
    4. Snow Leopard appears to be running ok as long as I don't try to install anything.
    5. I tried to manually download and install the 10.6.4 combo update and that crashed the computer a few times and then when it got to completion it said that the update could not be installed and to contact the software manufacturer.
    I've combed the discussions and don't see an issue like this, specifically it doesn't just FREEZE or restart, but it brings up the "you must shut down" screen.
    I've considered rolling back to 10.4 but that would cause my iphone not to sync. Any ideas?

    First things first. Those are kernel panics. You have to address those before going on to anything else. See
    What is a kernel panic,
    Technical Note TN2063: Understanding and Debugging Kernel Panics,
    Mac OS X Kernel Panic FAQ,
    Resolving Kernel Panics, and
    Tutorial: Avoiding and eliminating Kernel panics for more details.

  • Can't Print After Snow Leopard Upgrade

    I have a home network centered around an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station. The base station is wired to a Linksys network switch which, in turn, is wired to two computers - an Apple Dual G5 running OS X 10.4.11 and a and Mac MIni which, until yesterday was running Leopard. I have an HP Laserjet P1006 connected to the USB port of the AEBS and, until yesterday, everything worked fine. Yesterday, I ran the Snow Leopard Upgrade on my Mini and now the Mini won't print to the HP over the network. If I connect the printer directly to the MIni, it works fine; as soon as I reconnect the printer to the AEBS, the Mini will no longer print. The lights on the printer will flash but nothing comes out. I have downloaded the HP Printer driver update from Apple but this didn't help. I have reset the AEBS, to no avail. The G5 running Tiger has no problems with printing. And, my daughter just got a brand-new MacBook Pro loaded with Snow Leopard from the factory and she can print to the HP over the network without any problems.
    Any ideas?

    When I upgraded iMac from Leopard to Snow Leopard 10.6 it also stopped printing wirelessly to Brother MFC6490CW.
    I thought I had this same issue with my Epson printer when wireless printing. Actually, in SL, wireless printing is very slow at least with an Epson. Takes about 5 minutes or so for wireless print to even start. When checking the printing status app, it will start out saying "printer ready." Then after a few minutes it will say "looking for printer." A few minutes later it will say "printing."
    When I go into the next room where the printer is, the green light is "flashing" letting me know that "printing" has started.
    So I guess what I am trying to say is to check the printing status app after you click "print." It's possible "Brother" is just as slow as "Epson."

  • Isight no longer works after snow leopard upgrade

    my isight no longer is available directly after snow leopard upgrade on my macbook black. Anyone else with the same problem? The isight does not show up in 'about this mac' under USB and I tried resetting SMC and PRAM.

    Hi,
    In Leopard there was an App called iSight Update app that was in Hard Drive/System/Library/Core Services
    This does not seem to be there in Snow Leopard.
    An issue with some computers with the camera was that in System Preferences > Displays the Colours needed to be set to Millions.
    Also check the Hard Drive/System/Library/Extensions folder and see that you have the Apple_iSight.kext (this is likely to handle the Internal iSights as well).
    One last thing.
    Some Web sites can make use of the camera using Flash.
    If that tab is still open the Browser may have use of the camera.
    It sounds like you have done computer restarts and this will not be the case unless the browser is set to go back to that page.
