Upgrade to Snow Leopard: Previous Bootcamp not recognized

I upgraded to OSX 10.6.8 and now my previous Bootcamp install (windows xp service pack 3) not being recognized as a startup disk item. The bootcamp partition (named BOOTCAMP) is still active on my Mac Desktop- just not being seen as a startup disk in "startup disk" in System Preferences.
Macbook Pro- 2007 model
4G RAM/
2.33 INTEL Core 2 Duo

After this happens, have you tried disconnecting the drive and immediately connecting a different USB device (perhaps a flash drive) to the same port the Iomega drive was using, just to see whether the port is still active or has shut down? The behavior sounds like what one would see if the drive were drawing too much power from the USB port, causing the port to shut down. But ordinarily there is an error message that accompanies the shutdown and explains that it's because of a device drawing too much power. And of course your drive shouldn't be drawing power from the port at all unless its AC power supply is failing — but if its power supply were bad, it wouldn't work with your Powerbook.
It's an odd and puzzling problem, and I have no explanation for it.

The main differences that can cause a problem are scripting additions (64-bit vs 32-bit and security reasons) and the usage of dates (it is not as forgiving). AppleScript itself is basically the same, so if empty paragraphs are what caused your problems the update would have just been a coincidence.

Stick the 10.6 disk into the machine and reboot holding the option/alt key down on a wired/built in keyboard.
On the second screen, under the Utilities menu is a Password Reset, use it.
Step by Step to fix your Mac
What this will do is reset the password and the user account permissions in the process.
You might have problems with Keychain afterwards, to fix that.

After upgrade to Snow Leopard, Time Machine not working

Hi all,
About two days ago I upgraded my MacBook 4.1 to Snow Leopard.
Now Time Machine cannot backup to my external HDD anymore. One error message stated that it would not fine the settings file.
Please help.
What do I need to do to get my backups working again?
Thank you

Pondini - I have an issue too. And so I went to the troubleshooting tips you listed here and was not able to find a solution. Specifically, I don't get a message. I plain ole don't get nothing. After I installed Snow my first backup failed. Funny thing is the backup on my wifes computer also failed. She does not have an Intel Mac. It's a PowerBook G4. Hence no Snow Leopard there. I have a iMac 24 Aluminum. My Time Capsule backup worked fine until Snow. My TC is wired via ethernet. There is no latest date. When Time Machine backup starts the TM preference pane says it's "Making disk available" Something to that effect. And that's where it stays. If I then try to do anything with the preference panel - like close it - I find out the Preferences are not responding. So I force quit. I try to stop Time Machine backups and it's no good. The TM indicator - that little backwards running clock - in the menu bar just keeps on it's merry little way. The only way to stop it - shutdown. Strange thing is shutdown then refuses to - well, shutdown. I end up having to hold the power button for 5 seconds. I don't get error messages. I get nothing indicating what may be causing this problem. I have been searching these and other forums looking for an answer. I had hoped the user tips you listed would have a solution, but, alas, no. I deleted the timemachine plist in the "higher" library. No luck. I have powered down everything. No luck. Those were two ideas I saw that said they worked. So where do I go from here? Where do I look for error messages that will point me in the right direction? I'd appreciate any help from anybody.

Updated To Snow Leopard And Now Not RecogNizing Admin and password

Did a search, but didn't find the same thing(Just new system not SAVING passwords).
I updated from 10.5.8 to 10.6.1. First off, many apps wouldn't open(Spinning ball), and when going to update the OSX further, the admin/password screen popped up, with no admin name, as well as no password. When inputting info, it says they're incorrect. I double-checked my account info, and it's just not recognizing me. I hesitate to do a fresh install because of the time it will take with all the apps to re-install(Plus I wiped HD 2 weeks ago). Any suggestions are appreciated.

Since this happened after installation, this forum seemed appropriate. However, after looking around more, found that a number of people(Although the minority)are having the same problem, and are talking in account and login, so off I go.

After upgrading to Snow Leopard - multimedia keys not controling itunes

After I upgraded to SL all the special keys( Brightness control, Volume control etc.) are working perfectly, excpet for the media controls (rewind, play\pause, forward). They used to control itunes in Leopard, but now I'm lost without them.
I tried:
- Upgrading to itunes 9 - didn't help.
- Upgrading to 10.6.1 - didn't help.
- Unchecked "Use all F1,F2, etc. keys as standard function keys" - didn't help.
- Restored my keyboard shortcuts to default.
I should also mention that the play\pause button does not start itunes as I have read it does for other people after upgrading to SL.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Do those same keys work OK otherwise, in other apps? Have you tried the same thing with a USB keyboard?
Try resetting some of the hardware that may be involved. See this Apple KB for details, etc.:

Can't hurt to try, and apparently this has helped others recently.

Upgraded to Snow Leopard - DVD Studio not working

Hi,
Well I reinstalled it after the upgrade. The icon buttons are missing from the top (like "Build & Format", etc.). Also when I use the B&F from the menu it doesn't see the Pioneer DVD Drive - I can only save to the hard drive.
What's going on? It was working just fine before the upgrade. I need this to work now so I can get projects completed.

What version of DVD Studio Pro do you have?
It was working just fine before the upgrade.
Which begs the question, why did you change it?
Revert to the cloned backup of your previous system and troubleshoot/research what you need to do to have it work with a new Mac OS, like upgrading the FCS software, updating capture card drivers etc when you are not in the middle of projects.

After upgrade to snow leopard, headphones do not work?

Not working since upgrade. Internal speakers OK. No red light in audio port I tried terminal inputs, I tried changing channels

Christy,
Whats the version of your seeburger and whats the SP level of your PI 7.1
Just check the seeburger compatability matrix and see whats the supported seeburger version for PI 7.1 (your SP level).
We recently installed PI 7.1 SP 07 and the compatabile seeburger version was 2.1.0
for PI 7.1 SP 08 the compatabile seeburger version was 2.1.3
SAPNote 890721 is the seeburger compatability note , but SAP is currently updating it.
You can send a message to SAP and ask for the complete compatability matrix , they would be able to provide you.
Hope it helps ,
Gerard

Upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion, not Mountain Lion

Hey there,
I have a MacBook from 2007 that I have recently added RAM and harddrive space to. I picked up the computer today from the store and went to download Mountain Lion, but my computer isn't compatible. Fair enough, it's old. So I want to upgrade my OS to Lion instead, but I can't find it anywhere! Does the new OS replace the old ones?? What about the computers that aren't compatible?
Thanks for your help,
Natalie

Sorry to say but I don't think that your computer can be upgraded to Moutain Lion. To upgrade you have to have a MacBook that is a late 2008 Aluminum, or early 2009 or newer. Here is a link to all the Moutain Lion requierments. http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/ Does that help?

Trouble with Safari and keychain after upgrade to Snow Leopard

I just upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard. Previously in Safari (with Leopard), when logging in to a website, I entered the first character of my login and, depending on the settings in Keychain, the login/password was autofilled or I was prompted for my Keychain Access password and then it autofilled. This worked great because no one could use my laptop and be able to log in to sensitive websites without my Keychain Access password. And, because I have multiple accounts on some websites, I could choose which login ID to use based on the first character. I don't know if Safari was set to autofill or not, but I suspect not because I never wanted autofill.
After I upgraded to Snow Leopard, Safari would not connect to Keychain at all. I figured out I had to check Safari's autofill User Names and Passwords box in order for it to recognize Keychain. But now it autofills whenever I land on a website login page, even though the Keychain items are set to require my Keychain password. Further, for those websites that have multiple accounts, Safari is autofilling the one that is first listed in Keychain.
What do I need to do for Safari to use Keychain Access without immediately autofilling (like it did with Leopard)?

Yes, thank you. I have done that on most of them and it works well. My frustration is that the autofill in Safari seems to be the only way to engage Keychain. When I don't select autofill in Safari, I can't engage Keychain at all (without manually opening it and viewing an individual key). I'd like to be able to activate Keychain selectively as I did in Leopard.
For those sites where I have multiple accounts, I have discovered that if I deny the first pop-up from Keychain, I can then delete the autofilled login and enter the first character of the one I want, and the pop-up appears again. It's just frustrating to have to take those extra steps.

Cannot build after upgrading to Snow Leopard

I am on a Mac Pro (Nehalen). I am using DVD Studio Pro from Studio 2. I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and could not build my DVD since upgrade. I get the following error message:

I tried to reinstall DVD Studio Pro at the suggestion of a friend but it didn't make any difference. I am able run build on my MacBook Pro which has the same software as my Mac Pro.
Thanks.
Amy
Build cancelled

"hmmm, did you relink the template from a new location, or did you put it in the same location and then relink it" What do you mean by relinking? I did put it into the same directory. When I bring DVD SP up without loading this project, I have the menus and can double click on the menus to to bring it up in the viewer. At this point, I think I should try to do a new project to see if this error repeats itself. As long as I can build and burn on my Mac Book Pro, I am OK. Is it possible that the file itself became corrupted somehow? Just a thought. Thank you for your help.

Re-install software after upgrade to Snow Leopard ....

I upgraded to Snow Leopard and was not concerned about re-installing my original software because I had the discs. When it came time the installer asks for the serial # off of the original boxes that it came in .... I keep my discs in a binder and do not have the boxes. Is there a work-around for this issue. I would appreciate any help I could get.
Thank you .......... Dave

I forgot to mention that I did a clean install because it is dual boot with Windows 7 .... the systems are both working great btw. After I entered my question I found the original invoice from the Apple Store which states on it that the software Final Cut Express, Aperture, and Logic Express were preinstalled by them so even if I had the original disc boxes .... I was not aware that I required a serial # to install them.
Thanks for your comments though ........... Dave

Problems opening documents (zip files, excel) after upgrade to Snow Leopard

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard I have not been able to open a lot of files. Mainly, zip files and excel documents (which I had no problem opening before the upgrade. It seems that when I save the files down (from my email or whatever) the files go into the "Archive Utility" program, I try to open them from the Finder but they still won't open (or unzip).
When I go to open an excel document (most likely from a PC user), I get a msg that the file isn't formated for excel. However, before the upgrade to Snow Leopard I had no issue opening this same file in Mac Office-Excel.
Thanks in advance for your help/advise.
-Katherine

Hello Katherine:
I have not experienced those problems, but I do not receive Excel spreadsheets via E-mail. My Stuffit Expander version is 13.0.2.
You might want to check your Excel preferences to see if there is a setting that needs to be changed (compatibility?). I use Office 2004 so your version may be different.
You could also trash preference files to see if something happened during the install.
