Using Xgrid in Snow Leopard - two issues/questions

running snow leopard server on a mac mini. set up as the controller.
1) on my imac, i turn on xgrid sharing and it turns itself off
2) with my laptop and the server running, i submit an applescript to the xgrid, and all it does is fail
So, I would like to get the imac on the grid, and know how to run an applescript over the grid. I am using a command like this:
xgrid -h localhost -job submit /Users/chriswork/Documents/opticon3.scpt
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
thanks.

Can I use Tiger and Snow Leopard on my Mac Pro?

I have a 3 year old Mac Pro with 2 internal hard drives installed by Apple at the time of purchase. At present, I'm using Tiger 10.4.11. I've purchased Snow Leopard (The Family Pack with 5 licenses) and have installed it on my MacBook Pro.
I haven't put Snow Leopard on my Mac Pro since it is my main, workhorse computer and I have several older applications that aren't compatible with Snow Leopard.
My question is: Can I install Snow Leopard on my second internal drive and leave Tiger on the main drive? That way I could use either system by changing the start-up drive to the system I want to use. Is this possible, or advisable? Will it work or cause problems?
Another question: If one of the drives needs repair, could I boot up in the other drive and run Disk Utility to make the repairs instead of booting the computer from the original software CD? (I'm having a problem finding the original Tiger 10.4 System CD in my organizationally challenged graphic design and illustration studio.)
Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

Using the native Snow Leopard VPN Client

Hello,
The company I work for recently began using ciso anyconnect for vpn connections. Before the switch I was able to use the native snow leopard vpn client to connect to the cisco vpn. I would like to know if this is still possible with cisco anyconnect. Thanks for the help.

Actually, we just answered our own question.
The cisco router is an older 2600 now slated with EoL.
Cisco IPSec protocol in the newer current Cisco IOS may not be compatible with OSX 10.6.4
The 2600 IOS is no longer supported, hence older IOS, hence the conflict.
So there ya go ... stay with current Cisco equipment and 10.6.4 native will probably work. 10.6.4 is dead to older Cisco.

When will we get a fix for the Snow Leopard Compatibility issue??

When will we get a fix for the Snow Leopard Compatibility issue?
I am growing impatient not being able to use cross dissolve or titles.
Its going to be a pain having to back out to OS 10.5. This is beginning to be like Windows Vista.

You don't say what "..Snow Leopard Compatibility issue.." you're having.
My titles and Dissolves - and everything else - work perfectly with iMovie HD 6 and with iMovie '09 in Snow Leopard.
Perhaps you need to revert to QuickTime 7 ..just in case you over-wrote QT 7 with Snow Leopard's own QuickTime X when you upgraded to SL.
QT7 and QT X both sit happily alongside each other in Snow Leopard ..you might want to give that a try.
But I have no problem with any aspect of iMHD6 nor iM09 (..and no trouble with "stills"..) using Snow Leopard on a "late '08" MacBook Pro.
I haven't yet installed SL (Family Pack) on my Mac Mini ..I'll let SL throw away my QT7 on that, and will see if that causes any problems with iMovie. If it does, I'll then download and re-install QT7 and see if that fixes any problems. But don't hold your breath ..I may report back tomorrow, but today I'm pretty busy! I'll do my best, though..

Bought used iMac, reinstalled snow leopard, stuck at start up screen

I bought a used iMac from someone who has owned it for about a year. He had upgraded to Lion from snow leopard but I wanted to reformat everything back to the original settings(like new) so I could start from scratch. I used the original snow leopard start up discs that came with the machine and held down c when restarting, the installation went fine but when the computer restarted after the installation the apple in the grey screen appeared and the spinning circle at the bottom spun for a few seconds then froze. I let it sit over night thinking it was just taking a while to start up but in the morning it was still on the same screen, nothing had changed. Any idea what the problem is?

You have to use Disk Utility to erase the ENTIRE boot drive by selecting the drive makers name on the far left, it will have the disk size too.
You need to do this to erase the 10.7 Recovery and reset the partition map back to 10.6 acceptable version so your 10.6 Disk Utility can repair the drive (and get the machine to boot) and remove the 10.7 EFI partition for 10.6 version.
I suggest you also use the Security Option > Zero all data, not for scrubbing the drive, but also for mapping off any failing sectors.
Reducing bad sectors effect on hard drives
Once 10.6 is installed, setup and Software update until clear.
then install programs, then files and only to 50% of the hard drive if possible for best performance.
don't go over 80% as it can start having issues as it gets near full.
Good Luck, setup a clone and then you can boot from the external clone drive anytime and in seconds.

I want to install Snow Leopard Server on our MacPro (2.66) using Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server disks? I kept getting an error for backwards compatibility. Is this possible or do I need to purchase another copy of Snow Leopard Server?

I want to install Snow Leopard Server on our MacPro(2.66) using Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server disks? I kept getting an error for backwards compatibility. Is this possible or do I need topurchase another copy of Snow Leopard Server?

The OS disks that are shipped with a particular product
are set up so that tey will only install on that product.
It will install on any Mini of that exact vintage, but that
is all.
This is to prevent people from doing exactly what you
are trying to do. The license for OSX shipped with any
is only valid for that product. Also, Snow Leopard,
including Server, is only permitted to be run on one
computer at a time. Bottom line, unlike Lion, legally
you cannot install the same copy on multiple
computers unless some "family pack" or site license
is purchased.
Yes, you need to purchase another copy.

Using iCloud in Snow Leopard

I have spent the better part of a morning researching how to use iCloud with Snow Leopard. I found that iCal Contacts and Mail can be synced with iCloud on Snow Leopard. There are several posts on how to accomplish this. I was sucessful in setting up my iCal to sync with other devices using iCloud on Snow Leopard.
I have tried at least a dozen times to get my Contacts to sync with iCloud and Snow Leopard after finding several posts with explicit instruction as to how to do it. However, every atempt has failed. Each of the instructions I followed were slightly diferent. I have not found one that worked. Blog posts are filled with success stories of how others have gotten it to work, but not me. I can set up Address Book with an iCloud account but when I select iCloud as my list of addresses, all I get is a message saying "no Card Selected."
I am very frustrated that I canot get this to work while others sing praise of their success.
If anyone has a definitive answer as to how to get Contacs to sync through iCloud in OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) please let me know.
Thank you.

There is no definitive answer, iCloud is not supported on Snow Leopard, so you are reduced to hacks which may or may not work.
Google for Contacts solutions, there are some, some which work, some which don't. And some that do and then don't.
If you want a supported solution then you must use Soho Organizer, it supports iCloud on Leopard through Mavericks. But it's $99

I am using FCP 4.5. what do I need to do to use it with snow leopard?
Steve

Yes.
If you do NOT need to keep working right NOW, wait until summer and the new Final Cut Pro X release. No real idea about it other than the interface will likely be significantly changed along with the unerlying video engine.
If you do need to be productive today, order the FCS 2009 (aka Final Cut Studio 3) Suite. Unless your FCP4.5 is the Academic Version, you'll be able to upgrade for $299 (US pricing. Unsure of the cost in the rest of the world.
Good luck,

Anyone using Logic 8 with 10.6 Snow Leopard ? issues ?

Using Logic 8 with 10.6, I'm aware there is an issue quitting Logic without first closing the current project.
Are there any other issues? any performance boost/ benefit?
I'm running an 06 Macbook Pro 17" 2 Gb Ram 10.5.8 currently and considering an upgrade to 10.6
Audio units I use: Revalver MKIII and Amplitube

(blushes embarrassedly)
No, my coffee was still too hot...
There are quite a few issues running L8 and L9 with Snow Leopard. My (and also from some of the pro's here) standard answer is hold off Snow Leopard until it has stabilized a bit more. Try to wait until 10.6.4 or 5 at least. Leopard only became reasonably stable with L8 at version 10.5.4, 0-3 were problematic.
Just check this forum for user reports when SL gets updated.
Since SL was released, the number of Q's on this forum seems to have more than doubled. That is strong circumstancial evidence for SL-Logic stability/reliability problems. It may be the price to pay for the price we pay.

Moving TM backups using Finder in Snow Leopard

It has been suggested by Apple to some users that in Snow Leopard the folder backups.backupdb containing all TM backups can be copied from one hard drive to another if one wants to migrate TM backups to a new drive. It is also suggested in this kb article
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2986
that one can just move this folder around on a single drive if necessary.
I've tested this extensively and and found this advice to be mostly false. Copying the backups.backupdb folder using Finder does work technically but it completely destroys all hard link structure. this means that one should expect the total space taken by the backups to increase by a large factor. for example, if you are backing up 100GB of data and have about 10 TM backups, after you copy the backups.backupdb folder to a new location (on the same drive or on a different drive) it will occupy 1TB of space there. if you don't have enough space the copy process will fail.
Note that due to the use of hard links the original backups will occupy much less space on the drive, usually, less than 150GB in the above example.
This restriction makes the process completely unfeasible for all but the smallest backups with very few incremental backups existing.
the only situation where the hard link structure is preserved is if you trash the backups.backupdb folder and then use the "Put back" feature to get it out of trash.
Therefore I would still recommend never to move this folder (or anything in it) using Finder. Migrating TM backups to a new drive should still be done using a cloning tool like Superduper or using the restore tab in Disk Utility.
Message was edited by: V.K.

I was surprised to note that it took nearly the same amount of time as the Restore tab of Disk Utility (which I'd expected to be faster). So the only advantage I can see, even if it worked reliably, would be the ability to get the backups off a partition that has other data on it. Guess I'll have to change the FAQ yet again.
Mumble, grumble.
I still haven't heard back from them about the other issue where they changed the FAQ, about no full backup after a full restore, where you and I also get different results. Maybe I'll press the issue and add this one.
I'm also working one that you may have seen, where a +Verify Disk+ on the boot drive somehow interferes with TM's ability to find changes from the +Event Log,+ until you do a Restart. Two or three other folks have seen it, too. That one I reported to Apple Care last Wednesday; they said I'd hear something in 24-48 hours . . .

Snow Leopard - Latency issues when waking from sleep

I own two macs ('09 mini and unibody macbook), both of which connect wirelessly to an airport extreme N router. Since upgrading to Snow Leopard I have been dealing with terrible latency issues when the computers wake from sleep. Ping times from local servers increase from around 23ms to 220ms and webpages load slowly. A quick reboot solves the issue. Connecting directly to the airport extreme with a patch cable also solves the latency issue so I know it's just with wireless.
Has anyone else experienced this problem since upgrading and, if so, what are you doing to solve the issue?
Edit: Samples of ping times...before and then after a reboot:

I use Ethernet so I cannot comment but have you tried trashing the airport pref.plist and removed the preferred networks in the network set up in System Preferences and then set up the wifi connection again?
This seems to help with a lot of airport problems on this forum.

Snow Leopard - Printer Issue, Really Need Suggestions

Yesterday I completed my upgrade to Snow Leopard. Had waited as long as I could, finally gave in. Now I'm having a problem with one printer and I'm at this point out of ideas and could use some suggestions.
This is for my small business, my office. I have two Airport Extreme's. One connects cable modem to my network (physically located in a distant part of my office), second is connected to my DSL modem via hub, and I have a hub line off of that Airport Extreme (located at my desk). I am also connecting my Ethernet 1 port to a hub (same hub that the below HP-4200n mentioned is connected to). I have multiple printers scattered throughout the office, all connected to the network through hubs. Up until yesterday I was able to print from my computer to any printer in the office with no problems, and has been that way for several years. Now that I've upgraded to Snow Leopard on my own computer I am no longer able to connect to or print to my HP-4200n which is located about two feet from my desk (printer is connected to a hub, and that hub is connected to the Airport Extreme at my desk). I am still able to print to all other printers. And I can go to other computers (one running Leopard and one running OS 9!), connected to the hub, and print to the HP-4200n with no problem from either of those.
Thus far (in addition to yanking on my hair) I have removed all my printers from the list (they were all there after the Snow Leopard upgrade), and have installed them one at a time. I've also removed all printers and the installed only the HP-4200n. I've been to the HP site which confirmed that the Snow Leopard disk contained all of the correct drivers, and the HP-4200 series is on the list. Just for the heck of it I also went ahead and installed a new release of HP drivers just to see if they'd released something (like the "my HP-4200 won't print driver fix"!), and that didn't change anything.
The only other "quirky" thing that I've noticed is that before, sitting at my computer I could print to any of the other printers and it didn't make a difference which Airport Extreme I was using....but now, I seem to have to use the one that is at my desk (that is the DSL feed, ano has a hub line off of that). If I'm on the other Airport Extreme, no connections.
That's where I am, and I'm out of ideas. I really don't want to have to disconnect the wiring from all the hubs as it took a bit to figure this all out and get it to work the first time. And since I haven't physically changed anything yet, and since I can print to the HP-4200n from the other computer....that seems to verify that all network connections are still good anyway. This seems to be something isolated and connected to the Snow Leopard upgrade.
I'd appreciate any thoughts or suggestions!

I still think that your best options are (1) revert to what your Mac was running before or (2) bite the bullet and unify your network.
Some questions:
1) You imply that the DSL modem is connected to a hub. If that modem is strictly a modem without any router functionality, unless it has some mojo going there should be a router between that modem and a hub. A hub shouldn't connect directly to a modem unless the modem can distribute multiple IP addresses.
2) I tried to map your network, but you gave just enough information to give me a headache without being able to complete the map.
3) It seems that your Mac Pro has two Ethernet ports and that you have one port connected to each network. I have no experience with how that might be made to work, but is it possible that at some point someone did some tweaking of the software on your Mac Pro and that installing Snow Leopard undid those tweaks?
4) I'm not sure what you mean by "it didn't make a difference which AirPort Extreme I was using". Does this suggest that you were somehow switching between them?

Using lion and snow leopard on the same computer/ partition?

In the old days to partition a hard drive on a computer the hard drive had to be erased/ reformatted first. Do I understand correctly that partioning a hard drive no longer requires this? Can someone explain, as if I'm 6 years old, how to do this? I want to upgrade to lion so I can use i-cloud on a mpb but must still have snow leopard due to a couple of ppc programs/files I still need (such as the data in chronos personal organizer, quicken 2007, and maybe a few more). So how exactly do I do this, without reformatting etc. ? Sharon
