What Are Application Keywords in Snow Leopard?

I recently updated to Snow Leopard, and I've been trying out the expanded syntax coloring. However, I cannot find one example of code colored as an application keyword.
I set the color for application keywords to bright red so it would stand out. I have hundreds of AppleScripts to test, and I have opened about half of them. Not once was any code colored as an application keyword. There were classes, properties, enumerations, parameters, commands, etc., but no application keywords.
So, what are application keywords in Snow Leopard? I thought I knew, but now I have no idea.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Brett

Thanks for the info. The 10.6 changes documentation says:
*Syntax coloring for scripts now has much more detail: commands, parameters, classes, properties, and enumerated values all have their own category now, instead of sharing the “application keywords” category, and may be formatted differently depending on whether they come from an application or a scripting addition.*
Does that mean all application keywords are now in different categories? If so, why is there an application keywords option in the syntax coloring prefs?
Thanks
Brett

What are some advantages of Snow Leopard over Tiger?

Is it worth my time to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard? I use my computer primarily for word processing and movie editing.

Well you likely have 10.5 Leopard, as per your signature says.
Tiger was 10.4
Download the free MacTracker to find your machine and the latest operating system it can handle.
http://www.mactracker.ca/downloads/Mactracker_6.1.zip
If you really do have Tiger 10.4 (look under the Apple menu), then download from this link instead.
http://www.mactracker.ca/downloads/Mactracker_5.3.zip
You need a Intel based processor for Snow Leopard, and it strips out a lot of the PPC code you are not using and also has faster video drivers, so you'll see a performance increase. Most all the Leopard programs (universal binaries) should work in Snow Leopard because not a lot was changed.
Lion is a another problem, save that for your next hardware upgrade. It's a real problem case.

Need Icloud so what is best upgrade from snow leopard

I don't have icloud with Snow Leopard so what is best upgrade from snow leopard. Is there a better way to get Icloud?

Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

What are application events and system events? what is difference between ?

what are application events and system events? what is difference between ?

The Control Framework triggers the event irrespective of the screen flow logic, that is, without processing the PAI and PBO events. These events are called system events. This type of event processing is the default setting.
·The Control Framework processes the PAI module after an event. In this case, you must call method CL_GUI_CFW=>DISPATCHto initiate the event handling of ABAP Objects. These events are called application events.
Application Event : you must first register the events for the control instance and consequently on the frontend.
like..
DATA events TYPE cntl_simple_events.
DATA wa_events TYPE cntl_simple_event.
1. Using field
appl_event , define the event as an application event:
wa_events-appl_event = 'X'.
System events are passed on irrespective of the flow logic of the relevant screen.
1. Change the value of field
wa_events-appl_event in the PBO module:
wa_events-appl_event = SPACE.

Leopard TM backups are NOT compatible with Snow Leopard

I just discovered while upgrading to Snow Leopard that Time Machine backups made in Leopard are not compatible with Snow Leopard at this time. So, for those of you who are considering upgrading to Snow Leopard using your TM backups to restore your data, the TM backup will not be recognised by Snow Leopard.
I called Apple Care to check this when I went to restore my data as I had done an Erase and Install, and they confirmed that I would have to either:
a) use the data on my TM drive as any other data only backup, or
b) re-inslall Leopard, restore the TM backup, then upgrade to Snow Leopard rather than erase and install.
For info

Incidentally, yes, the "package" file is the in.Progress file. It seems to have the incremental updates, since it's a real big file, and has very recent entries. Again the last set of timestamped folders (i.e. a full backup) was over a year ago.
No, something's very wrong. All (completed) TM backups are the same.
Inside the Backups.backupdb folder should be a single folder with your computer name; inside that should be a series of folders with the date & time of each remaining backup, plus the Latest folder which is an alias to the most recent of the date & time folders, except an "in.Progress" folder.
The "in.Progress" folder is an incomplete (failed or cancelled) backup, and is ignored in all TM displays, since it's unusable.
In any event I have not deleted or changed any of the files. Also the stuff in the "Latest" folder is over a year old. But I've had TM running the whole time.
So does that mean (I'm hoping) that my recent stuff will be recovered from the inProgress file if I can ever get this working? Or does it mean I'm screwed anyways, because the best I can get is the files from the Latest or most recent timestamped folder (again, both a year back).
First, run +*Repair Disk+* again (and again) until it either fixes all the errors or can't fix any more. If it can't fix any more, it's barely possible a heavy-duty 3rd-party app such as +DiskWarrior 4.2+ can (it's about $100).
Let's see if DU can fix it on a second pass. Hopefully it will, and the problem was preventing the more recent backups from appearing.

What external hard drives are compatible w/ lion, snow leopard and time machine?

I am looking to buy an external hard drive to back up all data on my Macbook Pro that is currently running Snow Leopard, then upgrading to Lion. I want an external hard drive that is compatible with BOTH Snow Leopard (for use of creating a backup prior to my upgrade) and Lion (for daily use once I've upgraded). I also don't want to spend more than $100 if possible. Any suggestions? Thanks!

There is currently a shortage of drives due to flooding in one of the countries in which they are manufactured.
Getting one for under $100 at this point might be difficult. You didn't mention how full your current hard drive is, but for Time Machine, you should plan on two to three times the data you currently have (or expect to have).
I looked through Newegg's selection and didn't see more than a couple 1TB drives for less than $100. I recently bought a 3TB drive for $150. They're in the $200-$300 range, now.
I always buy bare drives and put them in an enclosure I buy separately. All the name-brand, ready-to-use drives come with a bunch of software you don't need and some of their software causes problems.
I had some bad luck/bad customer service with Seagate, so I've been buying Western Digital. Though, my replacement drives from Seagate have been going fine.
I've used Icy Dock and MacAlly enclosures. Both have worked well. If you do decide to go that route, you must make sure the enclosure can support the size of drive you buy (both physical--2.5" or 3.5", and storage size--1TB, 2TB, 3TB). The controllers in the cases may not be able to handle a 3TB drive, for example.
No matter how you go, you have to decide what kind of interface you want to use. USB is cheaper, but Firewire is faster. Firewire 800 is even faster, but costs more. All of that depends on what ports you have on the computer. OS X doesn't currently support USB 3.

An internet phone application for a Snow Leopard Mac Mini

The Mac Mini which I purchased , used , because it satisfied the Phone Valet software requirements , plus maintaining usability coordinating as much of the former G5's conformity as one might hope . The folks who provided the Phone Valet device stopped writing for it in the early summer of 2011 .
The Mac Mini is running well
Model Name:                Mac mini
Model Identifier:            Macmini2,1
Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:          2 GHz
Number Of Processors:          1
Total Number Of Cores:          2
L2 Cache:          4 MB
Memory:          2 GB
Bus Speed:          667 MHz
The telephone upgrade was up next , and for that we entertained a Gigaset SL78h as a beautiful and portable choice for keeping the computer to telephone compatabiility open via the Phone Valet software & hardware application .
The USB port on the Gigaset SL78h is advertised as a microsoft written port . This was unfortunately a swing and a miss in the guess work that assumed (guessed) a discoverable compatability of the Snow Leopard system with a usb ported , configured , handset .
I am presently interested in discovering how to bring the Gigaset SL78h handsets beyond the Mac OSX Preferences recognition in "Network" as a Modem . What can allow Snow Leopard to recognise the device into the informational cognisance , sharing of Address Book , and Phone Valet call monitoring activities enjoyed by the previous system which when hooked up directly with the Phone Valet to computer compiled all the activity nice and neatly .
I am paying "Vonage" for the access to my number and connections to other numbers via the internet in packets . The phone uses a Verizon FIOS connection through a combined Verizon modem and a Zytel Prestige 861 . With one other "Vonage" provided Motorola device , plus an Airport extremes ports for access which used to be read by the G5 via the Phone Valet hardware . Seems the data is either bypassed or unread by OSX's Snow Leopard , or I have hooked it up in new and unusual ways .
Having a similar successul setup would be inspirational over here . Moral is steady but could be improved with an application which could talk to both the Gigaset SL78h and the Address and Phone Valet applications , or a recognition of a correct sequence of hardware connections .
In all cases thank you for bearing with me this long , and if able to provide a hint to the correct direction to take for success , a thousand thanks .

For your stated goal, network-attached storage (NAS) or an always-on Mac client would be a simpler solution. Either preferably with RAID, and with provisions and storage for periodic archives.
A Mac OS X Server box is overkill. The Mac client boxes have 10-client sharing.
If you want single-signon and shared directory services and mail and web and various of the other pieces and services that are available within, then you can grow into a Mac OS X Server box.
A server is rather more to manage, regardless of what you choose. You're getting DNS and networking and other core pieces, minimally, and you're also responsible for many of the configuration settings and services and details that a client box receives from a server box. And you're definitely dealing with protections and such across multiple boxes.
For some other perspectives, there are various previous discussions of this posted around the forums. A search that includes NAS should kick over a few of these; this is a typical low-end alternative to running a server.

I have a Macbook 10.5.8 (Intel Core 2 Duo) and I need to update the software. What software should I buy snow leopard, lion, maverick?

I need to update my Macbook as many applications do not run in my computer.
It's a Macbook 10..5.8 Intel Core 2 Duo, with graphics X3100.
I don't want to loose money, so I need to know if I have to buy first the Snow Leopard and then going for the Lion or others, or if I can buy directly Lion...
What would you recommend_
Thank you!

Yes. Neil's is the right approach.
In my view, Snow leopard is an excellent OS for that model comnputer. You must remember that many programs that are part of Leopard and Snow Leopard would be lost if you went higher, and that is if you could go higher.
The DVD you will buy is 10.6.3 and will need updating to 10.6.8, plus the Combo updater to clear the needs for the best security. Snow leopard does not appear to be supported now.

What happens if I install Snow Leopard OS X?

My system doesn't work quite well, and I wanna know, what happens if I insert my original Snow Leopard disk and install Mac OS X all over again... what would happen to my files, songs, pictures, applications, settings...???
Would they be the same, and only OS would format or what?
Thank you in advance!

This is an engaging issue - Snow Leopard is actually supposed to create more hard drive space than older OSXes. Interesting. In any case, here is a thread about detailing and managing hard drive space and hard drive data. http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12668131
PS - I searched for the thorough Apple.com version of Snow Leopard Installation A-Z and failed to locate it. Here is a facsimile article (quite concise & thorough): http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/171028/installingsnow_leopard_what_you_need_toknow.html

What is involved to upgrade Snow Leopard (10.6.8) to Mountain Lion?

I would like some guidance on upgrading to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard and pose the following questions:
1. Should I increase from 2GB to 4GB before the upgrade?
2. Are there enough improvements/enhancements in ML that make the upgrade a REAL positive? Any comments on specific gains graetly appreciated.
3. Can you walk me through the process?
I appreciate any help and guidance that will facilitate my decision to upgrade and assist in a smooth transition.
Thanks,

Lion Diskmaker referenced above.
Bootable Drive DVD or USB Flash Drive – Lion Diskmaker
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
Application Compatibility
You can also check which applications are PowerPC by going to the  menu, select About this Mac, click on More info…, then click System Report and select Software/Applications.
If you have applications that you want to use that aren’t compatible, you can retain Snow Leopard and create a new partition to install Mountain Lion on or you can run Snow Leopard server in a virtual mode.
I have the same model iMac and Mountain Lion performs fine with 4 GB RAM, but I'm not a heavy video or graphics user.

Are Different Versions of Snow Leopard specific to different Macs?

I've seen on eBay new copies of Snow Leopard that says they will only install on certain Macs, with wording like "These discs will work only with the correct computer listed above." And in the photos of the disks you can sometimes see them labeled with the name of a Mac type, such as an iMac. Yet when I go to the Apple Store to buy Snow Leopard there aren't different versions for different computers. Will any version of Snow Leopard install on an Intel-based Mac? If so, can it then be updated with the latest verion? I have an early 2008 model 4,1 MacBook Pro.

Apple when they include the hardware specific DVD with Mac, never sold them in the stores. All they sold is the generic one that worked on all Mac.
It is only on eBay that you see the gray DVD which are hardware specific for sales.
I tend to avoid purchasing from eBay because so many of the seller don't know what they are doing so they are now able to give you the correct data.

What is mail version for Snow Leopard 10.6.8?

I had switched to iCloud from MobileMe some months ago. Today opened Mail and iCloud imap acct wasn't there. Then mailboxes loaded but in prefs the acct is labeled "Mobile Me." And mail version is 4.6. What happened? What to do ?

Snow Leopard has never heard of iCloud so you have to set Mail up manually for the different servers. If you are having problems I suggest deleting the account you have and setting it up from scratch as described here:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
You may find it it described as 'Mobileme IMAP" - don't worry about that, as long as you follow the procedure it should work fine.

What operating system needed for snow leopard?

I have Power PC G5 10.5.8. It does not have itel.
Can I upgrade to snow leopard?
It does not have itel.

You are at the max OS for you system (PowerPC). Anything higher requires an Intel processor, which cannot be retrofitted for what you'd pay for a working Intel Mac.

What's the difference between Snow Leopard and Leopard?

I really don't see a reason in buying Snow Leopard if all it does is make my mac faster by 2 seconds at everything.

You can do what I've been doing for the past few years. Run the old version until I have a need to get a new system, then it comes with the newer OS. If I find I like the newer OS on the new hardware, I may upgrade the previous hardware.
For me at least I've got a PowerMac G5 (running Tiger), a MacBook (started on Tiger, went to Leopard), a Mac mini (running Leopard and was the trigger for upgrading the MacBook), and now I have an iMac/i7 (Snow Leopard and thinking of upgrading everyone by 1 version).
There are lots of little improvments in Snow Leopard (I'm starting to notice some of them myself), but if you either do not need them, or do not wish to disrupt your current environment, then stay with your current Mac OS X version.

Applications crashing in Snow Leopard

I know this topic has been posted upon before, but none of them contain the answers I'm looking for.
At first, I was generally happy with Snow Leopard, the expose was great, everything was nice.
Recently, (its been maybe 3 weeks since I installed 10.6), some programs started crashing. Repeatedly.
Namely, iTunes and iWork. Now, it really amazes me that these Apple programs are the ones crashing. I have a few problems with other apps too, but that's another story.
Can anyone tell me why these programs are crashing?
I have everything updated to the most recent versions. I have deleted and reinstalled iWork, but it still freezes up within 10 seconds of starting any of the three programs. Same with iTunes.
I don't really use these programs rigorously! In Pages (most frequently used), all I do is basic word processing for school, no fancy font changing or formatting.
In iTunes, just play music. I haven't updated my library since updating to 10.6.
Do I need to fresh install Snow Leopard on my machine? Please help me!

I was having all kinds of werrd behavior after installing SL. I think I recently found the cause of most of my difficulties. Unfortunately be cause I performed both fixes at the same time i really don't know which one improved things.
Below is a section of the log I keep on the machine to track problems and solutions -
8-28-09
Installed OS X 10.6 ($29). Working but the canon ptr is kaput.
8-30-09
Installed UFR 2.0 driver for ptr and it's working but not completely stable (canon warned it wasn't 10.6 compatible). hopefully new driver coming in Oct.
9-11-09
Installed 10.6.1 update
10-19-09
many crashes involving the combination of Firefox and textedit or grabber. Also external disk starting up for no reason and causing machine to pause - spinning beach ball.
10-20-09
Tried to perporm the performance update but the app said my hardware wasn't elligible (Imac Intel dual core 2.4gig with 2gb memory)
Repaired disk permissions (hundreds of them set to 501 that should have been set to 0).
Reset the PRAM/NVRAM per Apple HT1379
10-21-09
Crashing and beach balling seem much better but textedit did crash once when using firefox and textedit. Will monitor to see if things have improved.
10-22-09
Programs seem more stable and I notice memory getting released more than it was after first installing 10.6.
Hopefully the notes above will help somebody.
