Snow Leopard, World of Warcraft & iTunes Crash

Was searching through these and other forums, but haven't seen anyone else with this issue. Upgraded to Snow Leopard. WoW runs great. iTunes runs great. Everything seems to run very fast...
However, when I have an iTunes video window open while playing WoW it freezes the machine cold. Never used to do this in 10.5 (I like to watch video podcasts while playing).
Anyway, dunno if this is a WoW problem or an iTunes problem or a Snow Leopard problem. Anyone have any ideas? Everything else works great--just iTunes video while playing WoW simultaneously...

There does appear to be a video quality issue with WOW using NVDIA cards. I'm using the 8800GT.
WOW's "Full Screen Glow" effect does not function, and if you have it turned on, it negates all multisampling (which is a separate setting used to reduce aliasing).
If you turn off "Full Screen Glow" the multi-sampling returns.
Bottom line is this is either a driver issue, or a WOW issue, or possibly both. Time will tell.
The current fact remains that under Snow Leopard, one of the Mac's great games looks somewhat horrible now.

Since loading Lion, I've experienced much more instability than Snow Leopard. In particular, Mail crashes with regularity, full-screen apps seem to run slower and show the beach ball more often for longer, etc. I love the features, but I'm disappointed with the performance. Any help coming from Apple? I've been sending them so many reports after crashes, that their file must be full!

Summoning max. courage, I did what you advised. Here is the result. What does this tell you? My Lion 7.2 (mid 2011 iMac) has several annoying glitches (which I have so far tolerated through gritted teeth) but none that have actually stopped me working.
BTW, I see several items involving CleanMyMac which I did not know I had. It is generally villified as a trouble-maker. Spotlight can't find an app. or a utility of that name. How can I get rid of what's there please? Just delete?

I updated from os 10.5 to snow leopard and my logic 8 crashes upon opening. Does anyone know any fixes? thanks

Logic 8 should have no problems in SL.
Use Software update to check if you've got the latest update for it (SU will only offer an update if it's not already installed).
Failing that, I'd start by uninstalling Logic and re-install from the DVD in case something got corrupted during the update.

Hi! I am using Snow Leopard 10.6.8, iTunes 10.6.3 on my Intel i3 iMac and should I purchase the latest iPad, would I be able to set up, synch and use it without iCloud? Regards Neil

Hi! I am using Snow Leopard 10.6.8, iTunes 10.6.3 on my Intel i3 iMac and should I purchase the latest iPad, would I be able to set up, synch and use it without iCloud? Also, would iWork files be interchangeable between the two bevices? And...could information from the Mac be transferred into iBooksAuthor? Regards Neil

You may need to update iTunes to iTunes 11 but you can do that running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I would recommend running iTunes 11 anyway. It is a bit different in the user interface, but it works the same that it did in 10.6.3.
You can transfer iWorks files back and forth without iCloud but you will need to use file sharing with iTunes. However, you will have to purchase the iPad versions of those apps becuse the Mac versions will not work on the iPad if you were thinking about using the Mac apps.
You can read about file sharing here
iWork for iOS: About iTunes File Sharing
Sorry, but I know nothing about iBooks Author.

You may have to remove & reinstall the AMDS, as described in that support article.

Since installing snow leopard on my macbook itunes won't work

Since I installed snow leopard my itunes wont open it comes up with an error message The fiel "iTuneslibrary.itl" cannot read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes,
Can someone help me through this. Its very frustrating, I was forced to install snow leopard in order to download itunes 10, so that it would recongize my iphone.

Nothing should happen to the old content. Still, you should make a backup first because once a month somebody claims something horrible did happen during an update and now they have lost all their music, their dog died, their car crashed, and they got a C- in English literature. Oh, and it is all Apple's fault for not telling them they had to back up.

Installed Snow Leopard & now EVERY APP IS CRASHING

I thought my Adobe CS3 was the worst of it. Until I tried to send an email with an attachment.
EVERY TIME I try to attach a file, Mail crashes.
This is so awful. I am having problems with EVERY application I open.
Firefox crashes when I try to download a file.
Adobe Indesign CS3 crashes when I try to re-link or even place an image.
Adobe Acrobat crashes when I try to make a multi page pdf, etc, etc...
Makes me wonder if they tested this upgrade on any computers at all.
When do we get an update - or do I have to un-install and go back to Leopard?
Loosing HOURS of work and restarts IS NOT OK.
I was so excited that Snow Leopard would take 7GB less space on my computer, I didn't think to wait for reviews.
I have been a MAC user all my life. But this recent string of shotty software, plus some serious hardware issues, are making me re-think my loyalty.

Your last comment makes me think you're misunderstanding what has happened: your computer is the outlier, not the norm. Something specific about your computer is causing the instability. Of course they tested it: the general consensus is that, for the vast majority, this is the most trouble-free, most compatible OS upgrade Apple has produced since Mac OS X was introduced.
Of course that's cold comfort when it's your machine that's been hosed. Every so often, we each draw the short straw. But please do know that if you look hard enough for third-party incompatibilities, and/or are willing to ferret out file corruption on your hard drive with DiskWarrior or Disk Utility, you'll be able to get a stable, trouble-free Snow Leopard system, just as most of us have.
You may have to upgrade some older software to do it, but for example Adobe CS3 works without a hitch for me and my colleagues.
Best of luck.

Upgrading from Tiger to Snow Leopard, what happens with iTunes and iPhoto?

OKay, I picked up a Mac Boxed Set this weekend and I want to do the upgrade, with a clean install. Since I have never done this before, I don't know how it works. I plan to make a bootable backup onto a USB drive using Carbon Copy Cloner, and then transfer those settings back to my iMac once Snow Leopard is installed, but will that include all of my iTunes and iPhoto content? If anyone can let me know how that works I would appreciate it! THanks!
Branden

iTunes is updated to the version on the Snow Leopard installer disc. Nothing happens to iPhoto as it's part of iLife, not OS X.
If you erase the target drive then install Snow Leopard, you can use Migration Assistant to migrate your Home folder, third-party applications and support files, and network settings from your bootable backup.

Upgraded to Snow Leopard and now Logic 9 crashes ALL THE TIME

I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard.. and now when I open a new Logic File and hit record on an AUDIO track. It crashes. It's fine with MIDI, just crashes on audio. It also won't bounce, and it won't save, it just freezes and vanishes. I've spent the last 3 hours reinstalling it to no avail and have tried it with 9,0,0 and the new 9.1.4,, help!

Probably needs the latest Pro Apps support package for Snow Leopard, sorry, I don't have the file name. There's one for Leopard and a separate one for Snow Leopard.
Did you check to see if it shows up in Apples' Software Update?

World of Warcraft+iTunes help

i recently installed the newest itunes to my pc. Now, whenever i have itunes on and load up world of warcraft my entire computer freezes up and i have to restart it manually. Has happened 4 times in succession. Any help?

I dont know why it doest this but my pc used to do this with games. What i did was load up the main menu of the game FIRST. Next press the Window button next to "alt" and "control". This should mininmize world of warcraft so then you can upload itunes.

How can I remove Snow leopard from my Mac, it crash all important programs

Please tell me how I can remove Snow Leopard from my machine & revert back to Leopard 10.5.8
Since I loaded Snow leopard, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Quark & Mail all quit over & over again. I never had ANY of these issues before loading snow leopard. I rely daily on the programs I listed. I am not saying once in a while, but constantly; opening the programs, exporting, placing graphics, emailing, you name it, it quits the program I am in. I keep sending apple the crash reports, but I am afraid I have reached my end. (Apple must have a folder fu;l of crashes with my email address in it by now.)
To maintain my sanity PLEASE tell me there is a way to do this without risking loosing any of my data.
I do have time machine hooked up.
Please be a life saver (sanity saver) and tell me how to get Snow Leopard off my machine!!!!!

First, Welcome to the Discussions,
Second, there is no way to successfully degrade an OS to a previous version. You would have to install anew a previous OS, thereby erasing all your data. Then you would take that version up as far as you want to go.
Of course if you've been using Time Machine you can recover to the prior system and retain your files using that.
Best of all would be to have a firewire external drive and use an app like this to make a clone on. No worries then if one wants to go back before any major changes very precisely.

Is Snow Leopard causing my computer to crash, or is it another app?

Every time I open a program (ProTools by Digidesign) my computer crashes. I am curious what is causing the crash based on the crash report.
Based on the report below, do I need to reinstall snow leopard or protools or is it something else?
Here is the report.
Thanks!!!

Upgraded to Snow Leopard and now iPhoto 11 crashes.

iPhoto worked fine until I upgraded my iMac to Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and installed iLife '11. Now when I put the SD card from my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH20 into the reader, iPhoto (9.1.5) immediately gives me the spinning beach ball until I Force Quit. Even launching iPhoto without an SD card in the slot results in an "iPhoto Not Responding" message, although when the SD card is not in, at least I can see my existing iPhoto pictures behind the spinning ball.
The funny thing is that (1) the updated iPhoto still seems to import pictures from my iPhone 4 okay and (2) my brand-new MacBook Pro imports from the same SD card fine via iPhoto. Unfortunately, my iMac is where I want my photos stored, not on my MacBook Pro.
I have tried various suggestions from other posts but nothing works: restarting iPhoto with Option key down and creating new library... deleting iPhoto preferences file... making sure Bluetooth is turned off. Also, I've tried opening Image Capture to import the photos, but strangely all I see is my card mounted as Canon_DC Mass Storage (although I'm not using a Canon, but my previous camera WAS a Canon...) but no photos come up in the main window and "import" is not choosable.
FYI, the SD card says SD High Capacity 4GB Class 6 Patriot Memory. My iMac has lots of space on the HD and the memory is adequate.
Anyone have any suggestions??! Anything else I should tell you? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Terence,
Sorry, I thought importing from my iPhone was working, but it's not now. I've also tried connecting my camera directly via USB (rather than putting the SD card in a reader) but it also just beach balls endlessly until I force quit. Here is the beginning and end of the report (i've put a line in between to separate). Thanks again for your help.

TS2570 Befor installing "Snow Leopard" i was asked my password as administrator. The installation all done the computer rejects my password ... I'm stuck at the entrance of this snow leopard world . Can anyone help on the topic?

I have this brand new Snow Leopard stuff
Before set-up my computer asked (as usual) my password
then the installation went on
and the computer booted up
but when i typed my password, it was rejected
As if everything was erased by the process
Has anyone ever encountered such bug and if so did someone find a solution (other than erasing the wole disk)?
I'm very forward to hear from you out there

I have an old mac version 10.5.8 I need to update to snow leopard and my disc drive isn't working... Can I download snow leopard without a disc?

Snow Leopard is only available on disk. Furthermore, even if you had a working disk drive, you may not be able to install Snow Leopard anyway, depending on just how "old" your Mac is. It must have an Intel processor to run Snow Leopard (Macs with Intel processors were first made in 2006), among other requirements.
