Snow Leopard vs HP Device Utilities

I installed new Snow Leopard Friday on my Imac and noticed today that the HP PhotoSmart C4480 icon on the dock fails to "initialize" the Scan function. Printing hasn't been a problem, so I reinstalled the HP software and it still doesn't work. HELP. I have publications to produce and deadlines don't wait!

I have a scanner, an HP 5470c, for which I originally had to order a CD from HP with updated drivers and utilities to run on 10.5.x. The software could not be downloaded.
Under Snow Leopard, all the same HP drivers work, along with the HP Scanjet Copy Utility, which is a PowerPC application. It does require Rosetta to run.
Also, My HP 5550 inkjet printer works, using Snow Leopard drivers. The old HP utility doesn't work, but the SL drivers show the ink levels, which the old Leopard drivers didn't do. When I tried to reinstall the old HP printer utility, it gave me a warning that it could harm the system. I wanted to see what it would do, anyway, and it ended up taking out the Ghost-dependent Foomatic drivers I had installed for an HP laser printer, an LJ1000, so I had to reinstall Ghost and the Foomatic drivers for that.

Snow Leopard - No Output devices found - (Audio) Help?

Folks
I just installed Snow Leopard on my Mac Mini which I use as my home media centre. It upgraded fine except for the lack of audio devices it now reports. Ive been combing forum threads but to no avail.
Appreciate any help or suggestions
Model Name: Mac mini
Model Identifier: Macmini1,1
Processor Name: Intel Core Duo
Processor Speed: 1.83 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 2 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz

Update:
Syetm profiler told me I had no sound device. I did the PRAM thing and the plist thing. no help.
I then pulled opened the mac up and checked to make sure the daugther boards were properly seated ... I was desperate.
When I rebooted the machine, it came up WITH SOUND. I dont think it was me opening the box as it could have also been me booting the machine up with no toslink f/o cable plugged into the output jack.
When the mini restarted I got the bing over the system speaker, and once the machine had started the audio worked perfectly and I plugged the cable back in.
Since the sound has been working I have lost it a couple of time since, particularly after using DVD player. this has ofetn happened as I think it gets tripped up when swthching between 5.1 audio out and normal output. Again this sorts itself out if rebooting with the output cable disconnected.
I hate these type of issues as it seems so erratic. Let me know if starting with the cable out sorts things out.

Just upgraded to Snow Leopard, but Palm device 4.0 won't sync with it. Any hope?

Can anybody tell me how to make Palm handheld running system 4.2.2 work on the Mac I just upgraded to Snow Leopard?

It would help if you stated what Palm device you are using. I had a Tungsten T3 and then an E2 running perfectly well on Snow Leopard before I gave Palm up, using Desktop 4.2.1 rev.d, so you could give that a try:

or failing that 4.2.1 rev.a

though I can't remember what the difference was.

Snow Leopard vs HP Device Manager, Part II

Clicking "scan" gets me an "Unkown Errror" response. Not much help, sorry.

You don't say what printer you are using, at least not in this message. However, you might find help from this document on the HP web site:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01846935&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en &jumpid=regR1002USEN
As it says, HP Scan Pro software (from Mac OS X 10.4, 10.5) is not supported in Snow Leopard. The HP icon for HP Device Manager still in the dock after upgrade is not functional and should be removed.
You should be able to scan from Snow Leopard's Image Capture or Preview programs, or from System Preferences > Print & Fax.

After installing Snow Leopard my Bluetooth device is gone.

Hi all.
Don't know if anybody else had that too, but just to report that after installing the new version the Bluetooth hardware wasn't there. Tried it twice but still the same. Any advice?. Perhaps is the disk.
Ret
null

I think maybe one of us finally is getting. You don't have bluetooth ins system preferences. Yes, it should be there. Why isn't it? I have no idea. You might be able to get it installed by doing a repair install--installing Sno over Sno as in an upgrade install.

Problems upgrading from v10.5.8 to snow leopard.

I recently purchased Mac OS X snow leopard to upgrade my v10.5.8 Macintosh computer. The computer successfully got half way through the install then automatically rebooted itself. After this happened it remained at the reboot screen indefinitely (screen with the apple logo and the loading circle). Has this happeneded to anyone else? what can be done to prevent this happening to successfully load snow leopard onto my device. v10.5.8 Macbook aluminium version 2008.
Thanks,
Connor.

My suggestion is to make a bsckup unless you already have one then erase the drive and install Snow Leopard fresh then restore your files.

Droid Charge to USB to Mac (Snow Leopard)

I've trying desperately to connect my Charge to a 2010 iMac (snow leopard) and the device does not seem to ever boot. All it does it "charge" (haha..) through the USB and does nothing else. Tried restarting both Mac and Device, tried every imaginable combination of USB setting with debugging on/off, the device does pick up on bluetooth, not that it helps me any. Disk Utility shows no other devices, and there are no USB on/off notifications found on my pull down menu as decribed on other forums discussing the same topic.
I've installed iTuneMyWalkman and Salling Media Sync in hopes that the device would sync and pick up on my computer. No luck finding drivers online in case that was the problem as well.
All I want is some music that I already own to listen to on my Droid, I'm not asking for much....

I have a 2010 iMac formerly running SL. There is only 1 USB port that will properly recognize the phone. Try the USB port right next to the firewire port on the back of the iMac. If that one doesn't work try the others. It won't work thru the keyboard or a USB hub. Also, make sure you use a good USB cable. Mine works perfectly and has worked consistently since I figured out the port.

I have a mac os 10.5.8, i want to upgrade to mac os snow leopard, can i keep all my files (documents, music on itunes) without backing up all the files first on a external device prior to the upgrade?

I have a mac os 10.5.8, i want to upgrade to mac os snow leopard, can i keep all my files (documents, music on itunes) without backing up all the files first on a external device prior to the upgrade?

I strongly advise against upgrading the OS without first making a backup. Were something to go wrong you would lose all your files without the backup. See:
How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your current OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then 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. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) 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.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
C. Important: Please read before installing:
If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update. While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
D. To upgrade:
Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
Restart the computer.
Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
Wait for installer to finish loading.
E. If updating:
Download and install update(s)
Use Software Update, or
Download standalone updater(s).

I have a MacBook using Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and iTunes 11.0.1. When I tether my new iPod Nano, the icon shows on my desktop, but the device does not show up on iTunes.

I have a MacBook with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and iTunes 11.0.1. When I tether my new iPod Nano, the icon shows up on my desktop, but does not show up under devices in iTunes. The Nano says it is connected and synching, but I cannot download music if it doesn't show up under devices.

Hi,
Have you managed to solve this problem? if yes, please highlight how you solved it...i'm facing same problem with my new Iphone 5S but udner Windows, thanks.

I have just update my MacBook to Snow Leopard 10.6.3. Unfortunately I can not now connect to the internet. I have a time capsule that is connected to a router. This is working with other devices but if I try to connect with the MB everything stops?

I have updated my MB to Snow Leopard 10.6.3 - I know this means I am a little behind the times but the problems I am now having seem to justify my reluctance. Now am unable to connect to the internet! I use a time capsule connected via a router. Everything is still OK with every other device (PC, I phone, Ipod) in the house so I know the "Network" is still enabled and there is no problem with the ISP. Strangley whenever I boot up the MB it appears to freeze the network such that the other devices also will then not access the internet. To regain access I have to turn off the MB and reset the router. Any help gratefully recieved as I have tried some of the ideas i have found in the internet but nothing is working. Thanks.

That's odd.
Try this: Unplug your Time Capsule and your router. On your MBP, click the Wi-Fi icon and select "Open Network Preferences".
Click the lock icon to authenticate, then click the "gear" and select "set service order". Wherever AirPort (or Wi-Fi - I forget what Snow Leopard calls it) appears, drag it elsewhere in the list. Click OK, then Apply, then power up your router and TC.
If that doesn't result in any change, repeat the above but try making the service(s) you do not need "inactive".
The purpose of this is to reset or at least change your Network Preferences, which somehow got confused upon upgrading to SL.

Two iOS devices and a Snow Leopard Mac: trying to sync photos

My wife’s tech support group, that would be me , is failing in attempts to find an easy way to sync her photos between iPhoto on her Snow Leopard Mac and her two iOS 5 devices using iCloud.
The bottom line is how best to manage photos during a time all devices are not on iCloud.
Two problems:
1. She now has the two iOS devices reporting different numbers of pictures and slightly different albums. Shouldn't they be exactly the same?
2. Is it better to have her sync her Snow Leopard Mac to the iOS devices using iTunes or iPhoto.
Any basic tips appreciated. Including if this is not the correct Community for this post.
Thank you.

You are in the correct community for posting this question. Most people would never even think to ask. That's very thoughtful of you. Anyway .... to the point about syncing photos.
I do not use Photo Stream and use iCloud for very little as well. I still sync with iTunes because that works for me and I am used to doing it that way. I am running Lion on my MacBook so I have everything I need for iCloud, but .... This is how I do it.
Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
Select iPhoto as the folder from which you want to sync.
Click on all of the albums, events, faces, that you want to sync.
Make sure that the Sync Photos heading is checked/selected.
Click on Apply or Sync in the lower right corner of iTunes

I have iPhone 4 with newest update and Mac laptop with Snow Leopard and current version of iTunes. When I hook the phone up via USB, iPhoto pops open and reads the pictures for import, but iTunes doesn't do anything. Not seeing the device as a USB, either

Sorry, thought that was the body of the question, so the title is long. When I plug in my iPhone 4 (newest update) into my Mac laptop (current version of iTunes, Snow Leopard), it does not read the music, apps, etc., or open iTunes at all. It syncs the pictures, but it doesn't not show as a USB device, either. I have gone through the Troubleshooting assistant, restarting both comp and laptop, using different USB ports, etc. If it is of note, when I look at the option to Sync through Wifi on the phone, it says that sync will happen when my computer (by name) is "available." Not sure if this is a phone issue or laptop, leaning towards laptop, since iPhoto syncs. Willing to buy Lion if that will fix the problem! I would appreciate any help that is given.
Regards,
Lindsey

You have written a very long story, and I admit I have skipped most of it. But I think the question is you are on iOS 7, and cannot get the latest version of iTunes (11.1.5) on your computer because your OS X is too old.
The fact that you chose not to update your hardware does not mean you could not update your software!
OS X 10.5 is very old (about four years). iTunes 11.1.5 (current version) requires at least OS X 10.6.8 to run. Very likely, you could upgrade your computer's software to at least OS X 10.6.8 and then download the current iTunes on it.
You would start here:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Then you would update the OS X 10.6 to OS X 10.6.8 over the air, then download iTunes (or update to a later OS X, as the current version is 10.9.2).

I have a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. After connecting my HP Photosmart D110 to it, the printer works but the scanner doesn't. The message is"The scan cannot be performed because another program has control of the HP imaging device". Can anyone help?

Found the answer on the HP site. It's the original software that works with this printer OS X 10.6!!

How to revert to Snow Leopard from time machine on Yosemite Device.

Hello everybody,
Essentially I need to revert back to OS Snow leopard on my new macbook that has Yosemite installed (bought secondhand) as a few of my DJ programs (Rekordbox) are not co-operating with the new OS. I have the back up on a hard drive made with Time Machine, is there any way I can do this?
My old Macbook pro is still working, its just the backlight has gone out, so I have to use a torch on the back to see what I'm doing. Everything still functions correctly on my old device, and I can use the carbon clone copy if need be. Really just need my old laptop's os/files on this new device with Yosemite on it.
Thanks in advance.

Do a backup, preferably 2 seperate ones.
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.
