Weird language showing up in snow leopard

I have taken a screen shot to show my problem:
http://img295.imageshack.us/f/screenshot20100605at939.png/
As you can see, the last option when right clicking an icon has changed language for some reason. Any help changing it back to English would be appreciated.

Restart in safe mode, boot normally, repair permissions, and see if the problem's fixed.

Network users doesn't show up on snow leopard client

Hello,
I am having a weird problem with my snow leopard client that won't show a list of the network users.
The server is a open directory server and other snow leopard client can show the list of the network users on login screen except one. I've tried different connections via ethernet or via wireless. (I have 2 client set up at the moment, they are exactly the same clone, client #1 show the list of network user but not client #2).
client #2 will immediately recognize the network accounts are available upon start-up but won't show the list. The computers are added to workgroup manager's computer list and is managed but if the network list doesn't show up on the client that makes the client un-managed.
Could anyone kindly give me advise please?
Thanks!
Sumomo

Hi
+". . . they are exactly the same clone . . ."+
This might be where your problem begins and ends? If you joined client # 1 to OD and then cloned this to create client # 2 then you're probably going to have the problems you're seeing?
If you want all your workstations to be the same it's best to remove any references to any LDAP Server as well as any TGTs. It's also a good idea to give each client workstation unique names prior to joining an LDAP Directory after they've been imaged. You can create a NetBoot Image with an associated workflow that will define unique names as well as join an LDAP Directory as Post Install actions.
The above assumes you actually meant to post in the appropriate Snow Leopard Forum rather than the 10.4 one? Perhaps you should have posted here:

JBL Creature speakers aren't showing up on Snow Leopard

I just installed Snow Leopard and my JBL Creature external speakers won't show up. They worked fine with my Tiger yesterday.

Hi - I just installed Snow Leopard and my speakers (external) aren't working either. I tried changing line in/line out and nothing worked. Restart didn't help either. Did you find a solution?

Ipod doesn't show up after snow leopard update

since i made the snow leopard update my iPod doesn't show up in iTunes, in iPhoto it still works... any ideas to solve my problems?

First, click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen then click Software Update...
If the system is up to date, try reinstalling the AMDS...
iTunes: How to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service on Mac OS X'
And if you have anti virus software installed, disable that before connecting the iPod to your Mac.

Item text not showing up on Snow Leopard

I'm moving a CS2 plugin to CS4. One part of the plugin is a dialog which is created dynamically. Each item is created with sADMDialog->CreateItem. I have removed everything from the dialog except the OK button:
itemRef = sADMDialog->CreateItem( dlg, kOKButton, kADMTextPushButtonType, &r, 0, 0, 0 );
sADMItem->SetText( itemRef, "OK" );
sADMItem->SetNotifyProc( itemRef, okButtonCallBackProc );
The button shows up but with no text.
There is also this wierd box in the upper left corner. Don't know what it is. Unfortunately I didn't try this on Leopard so I don't know if this is an issue with Snow Leopard or migrating to CS4 or maybe both.
Any ideas?
Mark

Here's the dialog definition in the .r file.

Weird outgoing mail issues after snow leopard upgrade

After upgrading to snow leopard a couple of weeks ago (then immediately to 10.6.5), I have been having trouble sending mail from my work machine on one account. After reading these forums and trying several solutions (listed below), the thing which seemed to work for me was deleting the outgoing mail server entry in the preferences pane and re-entering the information. However, this solution does not always work for me, and is only temporary; after some amount of time (variable? on the order of minutes?) the problem recurs.
If I open connection doctor the server in question displays a "Connecting to server..." message for a long time (minutes) and then "Could not connect to this SMTP server. Check your network connection and that you...". I get this behavior even just after resetting the smtp server, while I am successfully sending test emails.
As with others here, the same account works fine on other machines.
Things I have tried, on my own or based on advice read in the forums:
1) specifying the port for the server in advanced settings
2) Deleting and re-adding both the smtp server and the imap account
3) Setting mobileme to manual sync
4) "cd /var/log;touch mail.log;sudo chown root:admin mail.log; sudo chgrp 644 mail.log" (which doesn't produce any logs for me).
Any help would be appreciated.

I for got to add
5) repair permissions in disk utility
6) reboot

My iphone 4 won't show up in iTunes after installing snow leopard

My iPhone 4 won't show up after snow leopard has been installed. I just updated iTunes to 10.5.3 (3). the Macbook pro does recognize the device in iPhoto and I can sync the photos. But no connection is made with iTunes. I've read something about it on the support forums, but I'm not sure what to do for fear of losing data either on my phone or on iTunes. Can you help?
Thanks

Hello macr888,
I would be concerned as well if my iPhone was not recognized by iTunes. Thank you for providing all the information with the steps you took in regards to this issue. I found an article with a few more steps you can take (you can skip the steps you have already taken):
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Print to HP LaserJet 4mp via ethernet on Snow Leopard

Well, after tons of research I have ended up printing thru my OLD mac via shared printer on the network. But I would hope there is a better way. I have a Mac Pro, 10.6.3 connected to a HP LaserJet 4MP via ethernet router via RJ45 cables, works great on ALL my other equipment, even the PC but refuses to show up in Snow Leopard. I tried the standard stuff like giving it an IP address that would match my current network settings, no luck, tried Asante, no luck. I realize it's hard to support a decade old printer but what's all the GREEN CRAP about if I have to keep throwing away equipment that still works, and beautifully. Had to ditch my quad PPC unit because of adobe. Now I can't print. HP was no help, apple support is WAY too expensive since I bought my machine used and they won't sell me an apple care agreement. Anybody have any more suggestions? MIO must stand for missing instant output. ANY suggestions would be appreciated as I've tried all the ones in the discussion forums so far.

Since the 4MP is a PostScript printer, there should be any number of print servers that work with it. It might even work with your router. But it is not going to just "show up" on your computer like it did with AppleTalk. You will need to provide the computer with all the information it needs for an IP connection.
You can get help with that here, but you need to provide information, like the model of the router.

Problems with Snow Leopard?

Are there problems showing up with Snow Leopard? Such as conflicts , glitches , crashes, etc?

Hi Gerald...
Yes... basically, I'd suggest: don't upgrade
I should have remembered: if it ain't broke, don't fix it (and all I was even hoping for or expecting was for my Mac to operate about the same with maybe a minor 64 bit speed increase).
I have encountered a number of problems, and what is worse, even after getting some of them sorted out (and some not yet) and using SL for about a week, I very much regret 'upgrading' to SL (and will be working on restoring Leopard tonight). I have looked at every upgraded and new aspect of SL, and there is nothing of any significance - I have a dual core processor (relatively new iMac, very basic setup, all new brand name software), which now runs most things in 64 bit, and have found no perceptible speed increase in anything from the basic to the graphic intensive (though I have no games on my machine). In fact, I have noticed quite the opposite - very significant lags, commonly in saving files, opening dialogs and certain operations in many software programs (including Apple OD included programs, other Apple software, and 3rd party software such as Adobe CS4) - even simply saving an image in Safari now takes a painfully long time to simply display the dialog. The 'beach ball' has become a very common site, and a great many of the other lags and slowness occurs without the beach-ball appearing. That, combined with UPS related problems, the system crashing, the system simply hanging when left on overnight, printer driver problems, screen zoom problems, various program crashes, Finder not working properly (doesn't crash but doesn't find consistently/reliably), and general bad experience with SL now making what I consider a very basic/typical/safe Mac setup become unreliable and unstable and slow and sluggish, makes the SL 'upgrade' 0% benefit and 100% detrimental for me.
With (non-snow) Leopard, my Mac was basically perfect, reliable, fast, everything ran right and flawlessly, etc - all the stuff they talk about in their commercials. With SL, Apple has severely disappointed, and added 0 advantages/features and made my Mac slow, sluggish, unreliable and unstable and problematic - just like the PC they compare to in their commercials. I have also been waiting and checking for a 'software upgrade' re the countless problems reported here re SL - nothing has come, or seems to be forthcoming. I simply hope I will be successful in restoring my Mac (through time machine) to it's pre-snow condition.
And, it you do try SL, I'd suggest you do a full image backup (which the OS install does not warn you to do, or do itself) beforehand.

there is no automated way to do that. basically you need to copy everything you need by hand. see this post on where some important data is stored
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6185507
but before you go through all that trouble, make a new account and make sure that the problems that were bothering you are not present there. they might be system-wide in which case making a new account will not help.

Snow leopard server printing

I've got a Mac mini running Snow Leopard Server (10.6.8) and the printer sharing has never worked. I have a Canon i860 printer hooked up to the Mac mini via USB. I have created an LPR print queue for that printer in the Server Admin app and everything seems fine -- it says that the printer service is running, it has a name, and it is showing up in the list of Bonjour printers from the other machines on the network.
However, after adding this printer, no machines will print to that print queue over the network. The Mac mini will print to that printer over the direct USB connection, but other computers will not. Thus far:
- the print queue shows up in the Bonjour list
- you can add that printer to any computer on the network
- you can (attempt) to print to it
- but then all you get is an error message: "Network host 'Beefeater.local.' is busy; will retry in 30 seconds..."
It is as though the print jobs are not sent because no jobs show up in the queue in the Server Admin app on the server.
Any ideas?

Found this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/13132912#13132912
...and renamed my print queue from "i860 on Beefeater" to "i860_beefeater"
Now instead of getting the "will retry" message cited above, the problem is that it displays a message that says "Copying print data..." and then shows a message that says "Printer paused." Clicking "Resume" in the toolbar does nothing; no jobs show in the Snow Leopard Server print queue; and there is no indication that the printer itself is having any trouble.
Ideas?

Reverting from Mountain Lion to Snow Leopard

Hi there!
Just had delivered a brand new Mac Pro!! Very exciting!
I'm just wondering if there is a way to revert to Snow Leopard as I'm a producer, and a lot of my software is Snow Leopard based.
I would be so grateful if you could help me out with this!
Thanks so much,
Alex

Hi. I have a early 2012 MBA and it is running Mountain Lion. I rang apple and ordered a SL Retail Disk (10.6.3) and this did not work. When i use my external DVD drive to boot up over Mountain Lion, It just shows the 2D Snow Leopard Apple logo on a white screen followed by a whole lot of nothing.... After talking with about 4 AppleCare People they gave me the verdict that it is essentially impossible to install SL because the version of OS is older than the mac. Pretty angry because i just paid $20.99 for the disk and now its virtually useless..
Sorry for the bad news but it seems it is not a good day for people who hate Lion/Mountain Lion.

What is the latest version of XCode for Snow Leopard?

I have XCode 4.0.2 for Snow Leopard installed. Is that the latest version available for Snow Leopard?
Is Apple pushing us to upgrade to Lion to get a version newer than 4.0.2. I see that XCode 4.2 is available for Lion.
David.

This information might be useful for those who are not members of the $99/year iOS Developer Program. I am not a member, I have Snow Leopard, and I purchased Xcode 4.0 for $5 from the Mac App Store in March 2011. Just for fun I searched the app store for Xcode. As expected, the only search result is Xcode 4.2 with stated minimum requirement 10.7 (Lion). I am curious why it even shows Snow Leopard users the active Free button that implies I can download it. I don't know how the app store works but I assume it would not let me install this on 10.6 Snow Leopard.
But the Purchased view shows Xcode for Snow Leopard. I noticed the button on the right showed Update rather than Installed. Clicking the item name to find details including the version number shows Your request could not be completed. I decided to update in hopes this would be 4.2. I deleted Install Xcode from my Applications folder, restarted the App Store, then pressed the Update button. 1.77GB later I have Install Xcode in my Applications folder, preview shows version 4.2 (used to show 4.0.2),
The installer just finished running, I now have Xcode 4.2 build 4C199. About Xcode.pdf in the Developer folder starts with Developer tools for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and iOS 5. So this is clearly not exactly the same as Xcode 4.2 for Lion. It does include the iOS 5 SDK, LLVM 3.0, etc. Not sure what is different in the Lion build.

After update to snow leopard by DVD, i had a error, i don't know how my macbook display error log when update to snow leopard complete.

I am installing snow leopard on a new drive unformatted but it does not show the disk to install it on.? do i need to format first with one partition?

I have installed a new drive on my mac book and more ram but the snow leopard install asks which to install the system on but then does not show the drive.
do I have to partition it and name it first. -- if so just one partition?

Do this:
Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
When formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the OS X installation.
