VPN addresses that worked in Snow Leopard doesn't work in Lion configurations

Hi!
I need to connect to a VPN (PPTP) to access some link addresses that are configured through this VPN.
I can connect to VPN in both OS (Snow and Lion), however only in the Snow Leopard I can access correctly the links that I need, on Lion I get this error:
Host xxxxxxxxxxxxxx not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
On Lion I can ping to IP address but I can't ping to host name. I already set the hosts file and it's not working. I tried to use OpenDNS and it's not working also.
Anyone has some idea? I already spent more than a week searching on google to a possible solution but unfortunatly I can't get.
Thanks!

To answer my own question...
When using the method where both computers are hooked together with a single ethernet cable --
Go to SnowLeopard machine and set IPv6 to automatic, and select away from DHCP to manual. It will do a self-assigned IP address.
Got to the Yosemite machine and configure it's ethernet to IPv6, DHCP to manual, and put in an IP address one different from the self-assigned address that the SL machine took. We also changed the net mask to 255.255.0.0 from 255.255.255.0, and set the server to the .0 of the self-assigned class C. Those last two steps might not be necessary.

Import contacts from old address book on MacBkPro Snow Leopard into new MacBk Pro Lion

How do I import my contacts from old address book on MacBkPro Snow Leopard into new MacBk Pro Lion (on MacBkPro Retina). I can see the "AddressBook" file on the old HD (extracted from old machine--which died) and have a copy of that file on to desktop of new machine. [Copied from old HD: Users/home/Library/Application Support/Address Book]. There is an Address Book in the same location on the "MacIntosh HD" of the new machine, but some of the files in that (new) folder have different names. Risky to simply over-ride this. What should I do?

My mistake - my groups are there! They transferred perfectly. Still getting used to my wonderful new machine. Sorry to bother you!

IMac with Snow Leopard doesn t work without second display connected

Hi,
I've a iMac 24" and I would like to resell it urgently.
But I've a big problem, if I disconnect my second display (belinea 20"), the iMac screen become grey or blue after many second.
If I boot system, after the grey clock : nothing, grey or black screen.
The Os is snow leopard disc, update version (10.6)
The iMac version is iMa8,1
The EFI bios is : IM81.00c1.b00
I tried :
Reinstall with format
Utility disc on boot cd (scan disk & rights repair)
Even when I try to boot cd without second screen, I ve white screen
(after a update to 10.6.4)
Help me please

Hi Tony,
I don't how these instructions are the same, here is what the article says:
_Resetting PRAM and NVRAM_
• Shut down the computer.
• Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
• Turn on the computer.
• Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
• Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
• Release the keys.
Your original post said *"Restart the mac and depress the alt, command, P and R keys simultaneously. You should hear the boot chime. Keep the keys depressed until you hear the boot chime a further three times. On the final boot chime release the keys and let the mac boot normally."* How I understand your post that totals 4 chimes vs. the 2 Apple specifies. Am I missing something?

The mac os x snow leopard doesn't work on the version 10.4.11 why not?

Can someone help me?

It should, you just have to confirm whether your machine meets the minimum requirements
What error are you getting?

With the Lion, the copy and paste commands don't work. So if you choose a photo and right click Copy, this photo can't be pasted in another event. This used to work with Snow Leopard.

The copy and paste functions in iPhoto used to work in Snow Leopard, but not with the Lion. How do I copy and paste photos from one event to another? What I don't understand is that it used to work with Snow Leopard, and now that the OS has been upgraded to Lion, it doesn't?

Instead of copy and paste drag the photo to the new event. Or flag it and use the add flagged photos to selected event command

Server tools not working on Snow Leopard

I just upgraded my home Intel Mac Pro from 10.4 to 10.6, and downloaded the 10.6.4 Server tools from the website (WorkGroup manager, Server Admin, Server monitor, etc.). Our Xserve is 10.6.4 also, so there shouldn't be any incompatibility (like there was when I wanted to manage the 10.6 server from my 10.4 machine). But when I double-click on any of these apps, nothing happens - something flashes through the dock once and then nothing (like when you try to run a 10.6 app in 10.4). No error, but no running apps either. What am I missing - why don't these run here? Is there a better URL to download them?
thanks,
Mike

Hey, I fixed it! I remembered (by trying in Firefox, where it works, by the way) that the Youtube Bulk video uploader uses Google Gears. I noticed that Safari had Gears 0.5.30.0 while the latest version I just installed for Firefox was Gears 0.5.32.0. I googled and found an old bug report somewhere saying that in a Snow Leopard beta, Gears worked in Firefox but not Safari, so I knew I was on the right track.
I tried to upgrade Gears in Safari by going to http://gears.google.com, but it did not display anything about which version I had or how to upgrade (as it does in Firefox) although if I looked at the page source I could see the text 'Your Gears installation is too old and needs to be upgraded'. So in the end I just deinstalled Gears (follow the instructions under 'If you need to remove a plug-in' in Safari help) and now I have the button back to upload a video, instead of just 'Loading...' I haven't tried it yet but it looks promising.

BUG: Chord Grid Libraries not working in Snow Leopard 10.6.1

Hi,
I have Logic Pro 9 installed both on my Leopard and on my Snow Leopard partitions (both are full installs).
Chord Grid Libraries (I mean, the default one with more than 4500 chords) doesn't work in Snow Leopard.
It works as expected in Leopard.
Already verified the bug with other users over here in Italy
Message was edited by: Simone Coen
added BUG to the subject header

Here I did a workaround:
If you have a 10.5.8 on a Backup Harddisk , start from it, launch Logic9, export the Chord Grids, start again from 10.6.1 launch Logic and reimport this File

Youtube Uploader Not Working on Snow Leopard???

I upload lots of things to Youtube and as of installing Snow Leopard on friday, I have not been able to upload anything at all. When you click the youtube uploader it says "loading" where the uploader normally appears and nothing happens. When you click the Bulk Uploader and click "add video" nothing happens. This is occuring on both firefox and safari. I switched over to my vista partition of bootcamp and it runs perfectly fine so that is the alternative I will have to use until this problem is fixed.
Is anybody else having this issue? if not, how can I fix it? I'm assuming it is something wrong with the operating system as it started happening as soon as I installed it.
I've tried reinstalling adobe flash player, I've rebooted several times, nothing seems to work.

When I send an email with bcc recipients, the bcc does not show in my sent mail so I can't reference back later who I sent the email to. Worked in Snow Leopard but not in Yosemite. Please advise if their is fix for that.

Did you select View->Bcc Address Field from the menu bar?

Address book and ical not working for snow leopard clients

We have upgraded our server to mountain lion from snow leopard.
At first glance all appears to have gone well, however, the ical and address book services don't appear to be working for snow leopard clients. These services DO appear to be working for lion clients.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I am at work right now and don't have access to my Mac. But I need to as if your Dad is on Windows Active Directory network? I also found these directions for Princeton's 2010 Exchange that might help. Did he set up the Address contacts & iCal Calenders were enabled when setting up the account in Mail?

A fix for screensavers that don't work with Snow Leopard?

is there a fix for the screensavers that no longer work with Snow Leopard? some of the developers have came out with new versions, but a few of them have been abandoned by their authors. Is there a way to run those screensavers in 32 bit mode?

Is there a way to run those screensavers in 32 bit mode?
Not without action by the original authors, sorry.
I know it doesn't help right now, but like all other OSs in the past, these types of things need to catch up since the bar has been raised once again...give it time and there will tons of entertaining s'savers out to pick from.

Sirius Internet Radio doesn't work after Snow Leopard

Sirius Internet Radio doesn't work after I installed Snow Leopard. It works on my Firefox. I emptied the cache on my Safari, but still nothing. Any solutions?

The reason why Sirius Radio online won't work with Safari anymore is because Sirius radio online is only supported by a 32-bit browser. Snow Leopard and all its applications are 64-bit. The best solution is to use firefox. If you still insist on using safari..... Go to adobe.com reinstall adobe flash player. Install/update Flip4Mac. Go to setting for Flip4Mac and check off all the options under the browser tab. Then when you go into Sirius Radio online, you will get an error message, just click okay. Then when you click a station, a quicktime player will come up and you will be able to listen to sirius online radio.

Malloc zone intercept doesn't work on Snow Leopard

Hi guys,
I'm facing an issue with the interception of "free" call on Snow Leopard, which perfectly works on Leopard.
Well, the code is very simple. I get a default malloc zone and set my hooks functions, instead of default ones. Inside of my hook functions I call the original ones and a bit of my code to be able to track allocations.
malloczonet *zone = mallocdefaultzone();
default_malloc = zone->malloc;
..._calloc...
default_free = zone->free;
zone->malloc = my_malloc;
zone->free = my_free;
The problem is that I get all hooks for malloc and company working, but a "free" hook is never called.
It is reproducible on all Snow Leopard machines, but, as I said, it works very well on Leopard.
I tried to debug the issue, but can't find a source code and full debug symbols of libSystem. I therefore don't yet know what the library is doing when "free" is called.
Do you have any idea on it?
Thanks a lot in advance.

The issue is solved.
Thanks to my very good friend for the hint.
In zone versions 6 or higher, there is a new member malloczone_free_definitesize, which is called instead of malloczonefree.

I have a canon multifunction printer that used to work with snow leopard but since I updated to mountain lion my printer stop working, How do I make it work again?

This problem is not unheard of when upgrading from Snow Leopard. It is usually solved by completely deleting the existing printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan, and adding it again.
