Two small issues switching from Leopard to Snow Leopard

Hi,
I just recently switched to Snow Leopard from Leopard. I was considering Lion, but heard some bad things about it.
Either way, I noticed two small issues. The first was a hot key set on my Logitech mouse. I had a button preset to all windows expose. In the software
for the mouse driver you can set it to expose specifically. (Its not just setting it to a certain F key). For some reason this doesn't work anymore.
The other problem is when I link my mac book pro to an external monitor thru an hdmi cable, I notice on the tv screen it reverts back to the default
desktop background. Instead of having the picture I set, it shows up on the big screen the blue and purple space image.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply,
The Logitech mouse driver said there were no updates available so I figured the expose had something to do
with the new OS system since it now said expose and spaces, which Leopard never had spaces.
So what I did was figured out how to just set it up with the F keystroke and it worked!
When I link my Mac Book Pro to my tv, I use an external keyboard which is more up to date with the quick f keys up top and the arrangement is set up differently [ such as the volume keys are now f 10 and 11 instead of f 3 and 4 or something like that] Hopefully when my mbp is linked to this the keystroke I have set for expose still works. I believe it will.
And as for the desktop bg, after unplugging my tv I notcied it still stayed on the space theme. So I believe I know what may be the issue. I set that bg off of a picture on an external hd, and never saved the image on my computer hd. So I'm assuming it saved the desktop picture in some cache thing or something and once it got linked to an external monitor it got refreshed.
I now how that image on my computer and set, so hopefully the next time I link my computer to the tv, it'll stay.
Thanks!

  • Address Book Issues moving from Leopard to Tiger

    I've carried out a clean install of a powerbook G4, moving down from leopard to tiger because the computer was struggling to cope with leopard with the lack of memory. I'm having problems importing the address book contacts. I've played around with the applications support files, cache files and preferences with no joy. Any ideas?

    Thanks for the tip, but I don't have a AddressBook-v22.abcddb file in my application support/address book folder. What I currently have is as follows.
    ABPerson.skindexinverted
    AddressBook.data
    AddressBook.data.previous
    And a folder I created called "Metadata" which has all of the contacts in .abcp format.
    The top three files are recreated automatically it seems as I've deleted them a few times and after I open address book the files return.
    All thoughts welcome.

  • Recent FCP switcher w/ two small issues

    Hey guys. Recent convert to Premiere CS6 from FCP 7. Overall the switch is going well, but two things are tripping me up and I was wondering if there might be easy solutions I'm just missing. I've tried searching but they're pretty specific little issues and I haven't been able to find anything, so I was hoping someone here might be able to help.
    1) overwriting when Nudging. I used nudging a lot in FCP (and Avid before that) (i.e. the using ">,<" keys to move a clip frame by frame once selected,  or option + ">/<" in Premiere). Here's my issue: in Avid and FCP when you nudged a clip to the point that it hit another clip on the track, the nudging would stop. Meanwhile in Premiere, the selected clip continues going, overwriting the non-selected clip with the selected one. Which is annoying to me. It was nice knowing the program had my back and would stop me when I'd hit a wall vs. having to sctrutinize every time to make sure I'm not overwriting something. Is there a way to change this overwriting behaviour of the nudge function in Premiere. Or is this just something I'm going to have to get used to?
    2) deselecting individual clips when using Track Select. Sometimes when you use the Track Select to select all clips before or after the playhead, you accidentally select a track you don't want to move (like a bg music track). In FCP, I'd just command click that specific clip to deselect it and everything else would stay selected. Meanwhile in Premiere there doesn't seem to be any way to tweak the Track Selection once you've made it. Am I missing something? Or is this just another difference I'll have to get used to?
    thanks in advance.

    First of all, as a former FCP editor myself, you will find that not everything behaves the same way. I trained on Avid, then Media 100, FCP, and now Premiere Pro. If you've gone down the road I did, you'll find a number of things simply don't work the same way and you'll have to live with the differences. That said, if you want to change anything, you'll have to make a feature request: http://www.adobe.com/go/wish

    You'll have to get used to it. What you might try is closing the gap, and then nudge backwards.

    Try Shift+click instead of Command+click.

  • Switching from leopard to tiger

    I have been totally underwelmed with Leopard. sort of strikes me of the XP -> vista situation..
    sow start ups mail freezing .. loss of utilities I used.. the usual two steps forward three steps back BS that I am sure they will work out after 5 or so more updates
    I had already decided to keep my G5 farm on Tiger.... as well as my PB.... but the questions now arises is my intel mini-macs...
    I remember that there was a beta of bootcamp that worked with tiger.. did that expire with the release of leopard>>??

    Mail freezing is usually a matter of the hard drive being too full, permissions needing repair, or an outdated firmware on your router that needs updating. With third party routers because 802.11n is still draft spec, that could be a problem and sticking to 802.11g until your 802.11n router has a finalized 802.11n may be a good idea. You can run Windows in Tiger with many third party virtualization solutions*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#WINTEL
    However, if your Mac shipped with Leopard, you can't downgrade it to Tiger.
    Only Macs which shipped new earlier than October 26, 2007 can be downgraded to Tiger. Macs can only run the Mac operating system they shipped with and newer up to the limits of the hardware.
    The Windows operating system and Linux operating system options are endless thanks to Virtualization.
    If you wish to isolate your issues in Leopard so that the freezing goes away, backup your data*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    And we'll help you some more when you tell us that is done.

  • Firefox/IE issue switching from Aero to Basic on Thinkpad X1

    When using Go-To-Meeting, it automatically switches the theme from Aero to Basic.  When this happens Firefox and IE will not display menu dropdowns.  It works fine in Chrome.
    Any suggestions?

    That doesn't really surprise me, since the more recent versions of Firefox/IE have hardware acceleration enabled(not sure about Chrome), so that may have something to do with what you're experiencing.

  • Switch from Leopard to Tiger

    I am unable to fix the administrators name and password problem (invalid no matter what I try). Do I deinstall Leopard and reinstall Tiger or do I just reinstall Tiger over Leopard? Is there a possibility of losing everything on my computer in the process? Is there also the possibility of not being able to log in once I go back to Tiger (the same problem I have with Leopard)?

    Well musichouse,
    The news is not good for you. The only way to get Tiger back onto your machine is to erase the drive and install Tiger, so you will lose everything on your computer.
    There are also other issues to consider. How old is your iMac? The newest models won't run Tiger. Did your iMac come with Tiger pre-installed? If it came with Leopard pre-installed you are (probably) one of the unlucky ones who cannot revert to Tiger.
    Do you have the original restore DVD for your iMac?
    Are you running Time Machine on an external drive? You can use the external for backing up your data before installing Tiger. Just delete a few (or all) of your back ups to create space if necessary. I just moved my files, music and photos to the external. I couldn't see any point in attempting to clone the system to change the OS.
    You may be able to reset your password by using the Leopard install DVD. Insert the disc and restart when prompted. Hold down the option key before the chime starts and it will boot to the options screen. One of the options is to change the admin password.
    I have just done the same thing and am currently reinstalling all my apps to bring my machine back to where it was before I installed the notorious OSX 10.5 Leopard. It's very disappointing to have to go back because Leopard is a wonderful OS (without the glitches).

  • Shortcut to switch from OS X to Windows?

    As far as I can tell the only way to switch from Leopard to Windows XP in Boot Camp is to go to System Preferences and then Start Up, select the Windows disc and click on Restart.
    Is there a shortcut to do this? (If you're in Windows you click on the BC icon in the system tray and select OS X.)
    Joe

    Just to simplify for others, this solution is based on:
    http://www.macinstruct.com/node/129
    but removes the need for QuickSilver.
    Use Applications>Applescript>AppleScriptUtilities to 'Show Script menu in menu bar' by checking the box in the dialog.
    Use Applications>Applescript>ScriptEditor to create a script with the following lines changing <WindowsVolume> to the name you gave your Windows partition:
    +do shell script "bless -mount /Volumes/<WindowsVolume>/ -legacy -setBoot -nextonly" with administrator privileges+
    +do shell script "shutdown -r now" with administrator privileges+
    Compile and save the script in your User's script folder, <user>>Library>Scripts with an obvious name like 'WindowsBoot'.
    To boot to Windows simply click on the Script icon in the Menu Bar then select 'WindowsBoot'. You will be prompted for the admin password. Once it is entered the system will restart in Windows immediately.
    Note, this script does not change the startup disc designated in System>Preferences>StartupDisk.

  • Switching from Tiger to Leopard or Snow Leopard

    Hi-
    I have a desktop G5 iMAc running OS 4.10.11 and need to upgrade. What's the process and how much trouble am I going to get into doing this with my current software, mail programs, etc.?
    Thanks-
    DMitzelfeldt

    First, a G5 won't run Snow Leopard, so that's out.
    The main problem with Leopard will be finding a copy. If you call Apple (try to avoid their regular sales department which will tell you to buy a computer capable of running Snow Leopard) they may still have copies. Once a newer OS comes out they pull all older versions from their shelves and online store. Otherwise there's the used market but expect to pay around new prices anyway.
    As for software, the main thing you'll lose is Classic and any OS9 generation software. I'd ask about specific software issues on the Leopard forum since they are the ones who have actually experienced a switch. I don't think there are any major ones unless you're already running ancient software.
    By the way, one thing you can do for free is update to Tiger 10.4.11 since your profile says 10.4.10

  • Elements 9  Switching from Windows to Mac - two big issues

    I've just started looking into the process of switching from Elements on Windows to Elements on the Mac.  For the most part, the two versions appear to be quite similar in looks and functionality.  There are however two major gaps (in my opinion) in functionality that really make me question whether I'll move forward with Elements on the MAC.  Hopefully these are planned enhancements and I was hoping that someone would have some insight on the issue.
    First, there is no EXPORT feature that I can see on the Mac version.  I used this all the time on Windows(Organizer->File->Export as New File).  A huge gap if one uses the product for building personal photo websites.
    Second, and maybe I just missed some setting, but the SAVE behavior when you EDIT photos places both the original and Edited version of the photo in the default Save Location as indicated in the product Preferences.  So what I have seen is that it takes both the originals and edited versions and moves them.  Again, this seems to be a major difference from how the Windows versions handles this.  Seems as if the default should be to leave the photo's where they are.
    If anyone has a solution to these issues I'd appreciate the help.

    First of all, I know for a fact there was another user on a Windows platform indicating Shutterfly was an option.
    Secondly, right on Elements' website it indicates it is partnered with Kodak, Shutterfly and even Costco (now Costco, I think you need to buy the program right at Costco warehouse if I understand the disclaimer, which would mean a trial, downloaded or purchased anywhere else would not have Costco listed as an option). http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/family/partneroffers/

  • Sound issues while streaming after installing Snow Leopard

    Oh please help!
    I have sound issues now that I've installed the upgrad of Snow Leopard (from Leopard) onto my Macbook. I have also installed the upgrade online.
    This is the deal ...
    I work online (Ethernet ... no WIFI) and stream video and audio, before the upgrad everything was fine, now the sound fades in and out and the video will freeze up for a second or two. I do have several options on the site that I work from as to what 'Quality' I wish to stream from. These options range from
    56 fastest (modem) ... 126 Fastest (ISDN) ... 256 Fastest (DSL) ... Higest Cable, T1 ... 640x480 DH Cable, T1 and also External Encoding (which I don't use).

  • Issues with Small Business Switch config

    Hi, I know that if I read the documentation I will come to the answers but I would really like some input from someone with more knowledge than me. I have an issue with Cisco SF300 , one of the Small Business Switches. I have a single interface on my router and I need to separate my internal networks , I thought that one way would be to use VLANs. On my two internal networks one network only has unmanaged D-Link switches, the other has the Cisco SF300 so I did as follows. 
    On the Cisco Switch, all ports default to Trunk ports. I have changed FE1-FE24 and GE1-2 to access ports.
    Created two VLANS and placed FE1-FE24 in VLAN10 (also my management VLAN) , GE3 is a trunk Port for VLAN20 untagged, VLAN 20 uplinks to my DiLink Switches. This way traffic from my unmanaged switches comes in on a trunk port untagged on VLAN20.
    GE4 is a trunk port and I have assigned  VLAN1 untagged, VLAN10 tagged and VLAN20 tagged. VLAN 10 and VLAN 20 then forward to my Router.
    The plan was to connect GE4 to my router however I had two things happen I can not explain.
    Firstly as soon as I connected my D-Link to GE3 the LAN on VLAN20 went down, I could not ping Servers from PCs etc, all devices are connected to the unmanaged D-Links. Secondly the VLAN Assigment changed on GE3 and GE4 , VLANs 10 and 20 disappeared and only the default VLAN was assigned, also under VLAN Settings my VLAN interface state for VLAN20 shows Disabled. Also one of my access ports FE12 keeps changing VLAN.
    Can anyone offer any suggestions as to what might have crashed the LAN and why my VLANs change. I did write my running config to the start up config by the way.
    I added two screen shots. 
    I would seriously appreciate some help.
    Thanks 
    Bob

    Hi Garrett, thanks for your reply to my post, I hope you are well. I called Cisco support, they told me that they could not understand why this was happening and suggested a firmware upgrade, usually something I should have considered right from the beginning. This solved the issue for me.
    Thanks

    The only observations are that the backup drive is deemed too small and the quite long list of diagnostic reports dated between  Jan 18, 2015 (which I believe is the day I upgraded to Yosemite) & today the latest Yosemite update was installed on Jan 28, 2015
    Any further assistance will be appreciated
