Washed out icons for snow leopard

I have isnstalled Snow leopard and I have noticed that dock's icons seems washed out (no brilliant at all) ... adobe or apple's software seems work properly with my color profile.
It seems that icons are showed at gamma 1.8 and not at new 2.2 ...:-(
Has anyone a solution for this ugly issue?
Thx in advance

Installing anti-malware after the fact is sort of pointless and a waste of effort.
Run through this list of fixes, disable all login items and don't run any third party programs (until they have been reinstalled from original clean sources after the malware scan later)
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
Create a new user account and transfer files (only) manually to the other accounts dropbox so they change permissions.
Of course backup files manually to a external drive (not only TimeMachine as it's infected also) before starting.
Once you have a purged OS X and a new user account, then install a free scanner like Virus Barrier Express and run a scan.
I doubt very much you have anything, but if there is anything left of the malware after doing all the above it's going to be in the Applications folder or the infected user account folder.
But you can't scan anything with a infected OS X, so that needs to be purged first.
Once the scan comes up clean, try reinstalling all your third party apps to fix them.
So it's likely your not infected, but rather there is a problem with your machines software or hardware.
Good Luck

  • After I installed 10.6.8, my HP Officejet lost the ability to print 2-sided.  I installed the latest HP drivers for Snow Leopard, but the 2-sided option is turned off and greyed out.

    After I installed 10.6.8, my HP Officejet 7310 lost the ability to print 2-sided.  I installed the latest HP drivers for Snow Leopard, the 2-sided option shows up in the print window but is turned off and greyed out.  Also the scan function won't let me scan at any density greater than 150 dpi.  I have talked to Applecare and to HP tech support and been told "too bad."  Any help would be appreciated.

    THANK YOU!  And who are you?  I spent a couple of hours on the phone with Applecare and with HP Tech Support and they couldn't fix what you did in a few words.  Many thanks!  John

  • Is there a working version of xcode for snow leopard out there?

    I downloaded v 4.2 from developer.apple and when I try to install it on my computer it says "unknown installation error occurred" and "you may want to contact the software manufacturer."  It doesn't give me anything else...
    Similarily, I used adobe flash pro to build my .ipa file and am curious if I even need xcode - is there a working version of Application Loader for Snow Leopard available for download?
    Thanks a bunch.

    I need to upload my .ipa file to itunes connect... 
    I have an older mac with snow leopard 10.6.8 and an old version of Xcode (3.2), but no Application Loader to load my .ipa to itunes connect.  The Application Loader you can download in itunes connect requres OS 10.7 or higher, and I I can't upgrade my OS without increasing RAM.

  • IMessage for Snow Leopard (10.6.8)

    I am on a MacBook Pro, 2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo, with 4GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM, running OS 10.6.8.
    I am currently deployed to Afghanistan (p.s. the internet is pretty slow over here).
    I always have my iPhone with me for taking pictures, and there are a few hotspots near the USO area where I can access the wifi and use iMessage with friends and family back in the world, email, Facebook, etc..
    When I am in my room, I do have wired internet that I pay for through an ISP called sniperhill.  I use my MacBook Pro here in my room.
    Is there a version of iMessage that I can install on my MacBook Pro to replace iChat and then be able to iMessage my friends and family on their iOS devices (the folks I am messaging all have iPhone 4S or newer).  I found a place to download iMessage for Mac, but after a 45+ minute download, it turned out to require 10.7 or later.  D'oh!
    I use iChat sometimes to video chat with my wife and kids, but they aren't always on the MacBook at the house.  If I could iMessage them while in my room on my laptop, then we could coordinate to have them power up and hop in front of the MacBook at home, then I could use FaceTime 1.0.2 to chat with them.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    HI,
    Sorry about the delay.
    I also see there are 19 "Me Too" clicks.
    iMessages is the service run by Apple that basically started with the iOS devices and was a beta for a time in Lion (OS X 10.7) which also was date limited and ended on the 14th December 2012.
    It is no only available with the Messages app in Mountain Lion.
    FaceTime is available for Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) and can then FaceTime to those iOS devices.

  • I have Lion as my current and main OS. Is it possible to partition part of my hard drive for Snow Leopard?

    I have Lion as my current and main OS. Is it possible to partition part of my hard drive for Snow Leopard? I'm good on partitioning but when I insert the Snow Leopard install disk a message tells me I can't run the install program because I currently have Lion installed... obviously. Have I gone about this the wrong way? Do I need to boot the computer using the Snow Leopard install disk instead of my main HD?

    Apple will never update that as for the most part it is true, and the fact that they really don't want you to run older OS X versions (for whatever reason).
    Now this probably won't work with the next line of MBPs and MBAs that come out. But it is for the current builds.
    But as I stated you need one of the lastest builds of SL for it to even boot the system.
    It won't work with the retail 10.6.3 DVD disc. That version does not have the correct drivers for the newest Mac's.

  • Huge memory leak in java jvm after update 2 for Snow leopard

    Since I updated to Java Update 2 for Snow Leopard my JVM suddenly grows massive (10GB+ real memory - -Xmx=3500m) consuming all memory and rendering my iMac unusable. This does not happen predictably but does happen several times a day now requiring I power off and on again.
    I had been living happily with update 1 with no such problem.
    I need to either go back to update 1 (should have it on Time Machine) or find a solution for this problem.

    Our application is a j2ee-based commercial application facing to specified customers, having about 120 access request an hour.
    We ' re doing stress test on the test server. The strange memory leak occurs at 1:20 am this morning while we're out of company , and no job was scheduled to run at that time. So I have the tendency to image that there is something inside oc4j had occured.
    I have used OptimizeIt to monitor the heap status. However , as the memory leak problem occurs very occasionally ,and that tool deadly slows our server, we are currently using no profiling tools.

    You have to buy the DVD for 10.6. It's not available for download like 10.7.or 10.8. The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion or Mountain Lion. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    System Requirements for 10.6:
    Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of memory
    5GB of available disk space
    DVD drive for installation
    Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply.
    The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. 
    The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion.
    The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion.

  • HT4163 Need iPhoto 9.0 for Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    I have an old macbook running 10.6.8.  I want iPhoto version 9 ('11), but all I can find in the app store is version 9.3, which only runs on Lion.  I want iPhoto for Snow Leopard.  I can see no reason why Apple has forsaken Snow Leopard. There is no reason why the App store can't have version 9.0 so both Lion and Snow Leopard users can buy it and update it to suit individual needs.  Does anyone know how to get version 9.0 for Snow Leopard online?

    Just a follow-up.  I did purchase iLife '09 on eBay and it works smoothly. A few hiccups. I mistakenly did an "upgrade install" of OS X, twice.  "Upgrade installs" take a long, long time to do, and in the end, just don't work.  It turned out that the utilities menu that I needed to access in order to reformat and do a "clean install' was pushed right off the screen where I could not see it, due to a faulty video driver matchup on the install disk.  The result was that I wasn't sure what kind of install I was doing. 
    So, now I have a mini-Mac that works just like it used to, but really with no perceptible advantage to what I had before, just a few bucks lighter, and many hours of effort.  The good news is that my older mini-Mac (read the Apple fine print carefully on which Intel processors do and don't work) will run Snow Leopard, albeit a little slower than Tiger.  Hopefully, Apple technology and the various software upgrades required to browse the Internet will stay compatible with Snow Leopard for a while yet.  But the Apple mini-Mac takes the cake for the poorest backward compatibility I've run across since I began with computers in the late 1960s.

  • Daily Tips RSS feed for Snow Leopard?

    Someone recently told me that there's a Daily Tips feed for Snow Leopard with general helpful hints to get the most out of it. I've been in a search frenzy, but there's a lot in the lists here and almost nothing when you type in "Tips" in the search field, and none that obviously indicate that they might be that sort of feed in the RSS feeds lists. I'm not having problems, just like to have little prods in my education as I learn the OS. I'd always been a fan of MacWorld and MacUser magazines tips scattered throughout their pages before they went beyond just the computers into everything else. Miss that because I learned SO much from them.

  • Current iMovie '11 for Snow Leopard?

    Hi all,
    I'm using an iMac at work that came pre-loaded with iMovie '09. Never had to use it until recently we've started doing some video projects, and I've become extremely frustrated with '09s lack of any sort of normal timeline. I see that '11 offers a timeline once again - great - and was once available for Snow Leopard - even better. But when I hopped into the AppStore I see that the system requirements say OSX 10.7.4 or later... which is Lion.
    Is iMovie '11 no longer available for Snow Leopard?
    Any suggestions?  I'm at the end of my rope with frustration over this iMovie '09 business, but I don't think my work will spring for Final Cut....
    Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks!
    Matt

    So I decieded to try something I took my wife's computer and hooked up my external hard drive to it and copied iMovie11' from her applications folder and then copied it to my applications folder and imovie 11 works offically on 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) on both our computers. So it is possible to get imovie11' on your 10.6.8. OS. You just have to fiqured out a way to get a disk or copy it from another computer. We don't have Mountain Lion but you might be able to try and copy from that and install on Snow Leopard.
    Cheers!

  • ICloud address book sync for Snow Leopard

    Mountain Lion won't run on my Intel-graphics dual core white MacBook. Lion should run, but I've been disappointed with Lion and it is now end-of-life (mercifully short).
    So I've a perfectly fine and responsive Snow Leopard machine. Only problem -- when MobileMe dies in June Address Book on that device won't sync with our iPhone [1].
    I know Apple doesn't allow 3rd parties to sync anything to iCloud. So there's no solution that way.
    One approach is to use a 3rd party app to sync Address Book on this machine with Address Book on another machine that in turn syncs with iCloud.
    The easier approach is to go all Google; sync Address Book to Google, set the iPhone to use a Google Apps account. (Ironic that Apple's obsoleting a solid MacBook should drive us to Google.)
    Anyone see any other fixes?
    john
    [1] For various reasons the iPhone syncs to another machine with our family app/media library. So I can't sync Address Book via iTunes.

    In this case I do need to plan ahead, and I'm confident my sources are correct. Apple might add in support for 64bit machines with Intel graphics, but that's a bit unlike them. On the other hand, this entire ML roll out is new, so old rules may not apply.
    Here are my requirements, given for various reasons I need to have a plan in place around mid-May for my corporate user base (3 kids, 2 parents, dog is out of luck):
    Not Lion: I use Lion, but I don't want to inflict it on the family. Mountain Lion or Snow Leopard only.
    We don't want to replace the MacBook - so that means Snow Leopard is required.
    Whatever we do, it has to sync to all of our iOS devices as well as our OS X devices. That rules out iCloud for the iOS devices, since iCloud is incompatible with the MacBook (given the no Lion requirement).
    We currently use Google calendars and Google Apps extensively, and despite Google's marked turn to the dark side we're stuck there unless Apple offers something we can use or Google drives iOS users away (they might).
    That leaves an ActiveSync (Exchange) solution. Apple's enterprise ambitions mean they have to support ActiveSync for iOS going forward. So Google Apps ActiveSync will work with our iOS devices. Snow Leopard is harder -- Snow Leopard's ActiveSync support is broken. Mountain Lion may be better, in which case we can use ML ActiveSync on two machines. For Snow Leopard we'll have to pay Spanning Sync for their Google Sync to Address Book/Contacts and Calendar support. (I saw your Chronosync comment; I own that app, it doesn't help with this problem.)
    So it looks like Apple's termination of MacBook support in the Mountain Lion era will push our family off iCloud and onto Google/ActiveSync/Spanning Sync!

  • Want to buy a new Mini, but should I wait for Snow Leopard?

    I'm ready to buy a Mac Mini now. But with Snow Leopard just around the corner, I would hate to have to dish out another $129 for Snow Leopard when I could have just waited a few months for it to ship with the Mini.
    Is it worth it to wait, or should I just dive into a new Mini with just Leopard?
    Any thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the great input everyone!
    Most of you say 'go for it now', and that's the way I'm leaning, but I'll drill down a little deeper with where I'm at on this.
    I've been wanting to get a Mini since they first came out, but more intently since last fall. I heard that they were due for a refresh, and rumors had been floating that there would be new models in Q1 of 2009. I had hoped to see them at Macworld, but we all know what a disappointment that was. So after much anticipation, they're finally here. All that to say, I have a very strong desire to order one right now.
    But then there is this question of Snow Leopard. My main reason (although there are many) for getting a Mini is to record my broadcast TV shows in HD with eyeTV. I've been using my Dual 867Mhz Power Mac G4 (MDD) to record shows in analog mode with eyeTV, and it does it very successfully. But my G4 doesn't meet the requirements to record in HD (although I've tried it and it will record HD, but it's not always successful and it takes at least 12 to export it to iTunes). Also, broadcast TV is going to can analog on June 12. So I wont be able to record my shows after that unless I have the Mini.
    So, here is where I'm at with this dilemma:

    AndyO wrote:
    There is a good argument to say that if you have no immediate need for a new system, you should wait until Snow leopard is announced, but not yet pre-installed on systems in the supply chain and buy a system then. That would give you an installed copy of Leopard and either a Snow Leopard upgrade disk in the box, or an 'up-to-date' program option to buy a Snow Leopard copy for a small fee. That would give you the best of both worlds.
    This is exactly what I'd like - "the best of both worlds." Getting SL with the Mini but not having it pre-installed would be ideal.
    But will the announcement come at the WWDC?
    Will the WWDC be held at the speculated date of June 6-12 (which is right before the DTV switch btw)? And even if I wait for the announcement, this is not the guaranteed outcome (they could end up saying that all systems will be shipping with SL today).
    Ugh! I'm so torn.
    Does anyone know how far ahead they announce the date of the WWDC?

    Please can't make FaceTime for free for all iMac it's mean Apple can't make face time for free for snow leopard ?

    did Yamaha/Apogee ever work out the problem that you couldn't use mLAN drivers for the XS (it's not really mLAN, it's "based on" right?) and Apogee drivers at the same time?
    I think Yamaha has updated their drivers twice since you and I last exchanged ideas on this.
    You've got killer hardware, and while I'm sure it's possible to set up an XS to send MTC and for Logic 8 to deal with correctly, it's just backwards of the way I use (almost) the same tools. My experience is the same, control Logic from the Motif, only it's so much more than just stop/start, and locate. Your XS is made to be a remote controller for Logic, sliders, transport controls, even the info for tracks and plug-ins (in Logic!) show up on your XS display and you can do plenty without touching the keyboard or mouse... Besides the sound of the Motifs, they're just great at doing this kind of stuff too... I personally wouldn't consider anything else...
    I don't want to send you down a path that won't work if the two vendors in question haven't solved this yet, but... I want to help you but deep inside I think you're approaching your top-of-the-line gear backwards...
    of course, if this is still a vendor incompatibility thing... then you have no choice.
    pages 839 (the graphic is on page 838) of the Logic user manual under "listen to MMC input" describes what you need to set in Logic 8 to make this work. Since I don't have an XS, I can't point you to the correct pages for that.
    I really hope you can get this to work.

  • Bought iMovie '11 for a Mountain Lion iMac and want iMovie '11 for snow Leopard MacBook but it won't download for Macbook?

    Hello:
    I have an iMac that I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion.  I bought iMovie '11 after upgrading to Mountain Lion.  I also have a MacBook Pro but don't want to upgrade to Mountian Lion 'cause I don't want to loose Front Row.  So I tried to buy and install iMovie from the App Store on the MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard) but when I try to buy it it says that I can't buy it or run on on Snow Leopard it must be on Mountain Lion?  Is there any way to get the down version of iMovie '11 for Snow Leopard from the App Store?  I already paid for this version online.
    Thanks,
    mn3

    My guess is that you are out of luck. The latest requirements for iMovie '11, as listed on the App Store, are "OS X 10.7.4 or later". In other words, iMovie '11 (in it's latest iteration) will work only on Lion or Mountain Lion (or later).
    My wife's iMac is on Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.8 and is running iMovie '11 version 9.0.4. Checking for updates returns the message that iMovie is up to date. So it appears that the last version to run on Snow Leopard is 9.0.4 - hence why you can't download 9.0.8 to Snow Leopard from the App Store. Perhaps you can purchase a boxed version of iLife '11 somewhere (possibly eBay) that has an earlier version of iMovie '11.
