When is Apple coming with an update to fix Snow Leopard???

I can't tell you how LONG I've waited to upgrade to Snow Leopard from Tiger! I bought it THE DAY it came out, manually backed up everything I had to my External Drives (OVER 6TB worth of data!) and to my surprise installing Snow Leopard was just like installing a new App. I popped in the CD, and bam! In like 45 Minutes I was up and running and all my data is UNTOUCHED! WOW! This is unheard of in the HISTORY of Operating Systems!
The computer restarts, and first thing I do is open up Safari. VERY Fast Internet, by the way! WAY faster than before! But! Not ONLY does it NOT respond at times, but man! It BOGS DOWN THE WHOLE SYSTEM! I'm sitting here in amazement! I can't do JACK for like 15 minutes! It actually reminded me of WinCRAP! Then! Finder stops responding and when I try to re-open it, I get an error message! So I have to restart the Mac.
This is ALL in the FIRST DAY which was almost 2 weeks ago!
Fast forward to now:
Is it me, or is Snow Leopard just a LOT SLOWER than Tiger or Leopard?! Programs don't start up as quickly. Safari doesn't crash anymore but it just doesn't respond at times and I have to force quit! It's a CONSTANT on-going thing, here with Safari! Firefox is NO different!
I have been force quitting apps like 50 TIMES A DAY!
I am REALLY confused here! This is APPLE! NOT WinCRAP! This should NOT be happening!!!
When are they gonna release the next update to get SL running the way it's SUPPOSED to be running.
I'm frustrated here, but patient, too, because, well, it's Apple and for some reason I have a VERY HIGH tolerance level to Apple. I have NO patience with Windows by contrast. NONE! I get ONE ISSUE and I want to throw the god **** PC out the window! LITERALLY!
But with Apple, I feel like I KNOW that they are listening and that they will be fixed, but I'm getting REALLY tired of force quitting non-responding apps and the slower performance.
PLEASE HELP!

And I can't just uninstall ALL my plugins. They set the foundation for all the music I create. I have NEVER had ANY issues prior SL.
I still have and use 4 PowerPC G5's because of all the work I do and they are all linked through Fibre Channel. I kept them as backup units as well as general use and since I got my Mac Pro, they are now functioning as the main servers to my network. And because I can access them with my Mac Pro, I can still manually backup my files from my Mac Pro into one of the G5's or DIRECTLY to the RAID System which the G5's are linked to.
The thing I hate about ProTools is that it doesn't support RAID for some stupid, ignorant reason which is why I have to manually back up my ProTools Files on the RAID System. With Logic I don't have these limitations and I actually use the RAID system to access my Logic Project files once their backed up to the RAID.
And here's the thing: When I upgraded one of my G5's from Panther to Tiger back in 2005, I had NO problems whatsoever.
I bought the Mac Pro to prepare for the upcoming software and OS. I didn't upgrade to Leopard because I didn't feel the need to. My Mac Pro came with Tiger and I was really happy with the way it worked and how everything was flawless. And when SL was announced I was VERY eager to upgrade because of all features I knew I could use: The Updated Finder, a TRUE 64-Bit platform, Expose and Spaces which blew my mind in SL and everyone talked about Speed and Memory and how everything is faster in SL. That made me REALLY eager to upgrade since the plugins I use could really benefit from these upgrades and
And I didn't really need Time Machine because I was used to MANUALLY backing up all my files on the RAID system. I have almost 16TB of storage capacity on the RAID configuration and I use one of the internal drives for Sample Libraries, the other is used for Projects, the System Drive with the OS of course, and the last one is used as an extension to the System Drive for general things: GarageBand, Photo's, Documents, iTunes, Downloads, etc.
Now whenever I fix these issues I'm having with SL. I'll start using Time Machine for my general stuff and ProTools files and if it's compatible with RAID, this is gonna be a REAL time saver!

APple MBP v1.3 Update after a Snow Leopard 10.6.4 reinstall

Is the Apple MBP v1.3 update part of SNow Leopard 10.6.4 Combo Update and if not how do I go about installing Apple MBP v1.3 update after I have already installed snow leopard Combo Update from 10.6.3?
From the APple Website the v1.3 update will only install if you have 10.6.3 Snow Leopard and might become an issue if trying to install it after 10.6.4 Combo Update has been installed.
So my question is:
Is the Apple MBP v1.3 Update part of the 10.6.4 Snow Leopard Combo update?
Thanks

Run Software Update. If it doesn't list Apple MBP v1.3 Update as an available update then you don't need it.

When will Apple come with an update so 2010 Macbook Airs again can use the Appstore?

the problem appears in Lion and Mountain Lion and came with the last update to the operating system

well, Apple fixed the problem and if so, thank you.
I have a late 2010 Macbook Air, and I did the following:y
formatted the SSD disk and installed Snow Leopard again from the usb-stick and made the updates
Then I made a partition called Lion and downloaded Lion from App Store in Snow Leopard and installed it on the partition called Lion. The version of Safari with it was 5.1.6 and App Store worked. Then I made a copy of Safari to the desktop, updated Lion (except Safari). Then I transferred settings etc with Transfer assistant from my Mac mini to my Macbook Air in Lion. Safari 5.1.6 was not working, but App Store worked and Firefox did.
Then I downloaded Mountain Lion once more from App Store and installed it over Lion.
And ... hooray.... Safari is version 6 and App Store is working

How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? Because of the update on apple ID, when I try to delete icloud account I have to put in the password, and it says username or password is invalid (because no longer apple ID).

How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? When I try to delete icloud account (in settings-icloud-delete account) I have to put in the password for the apple ID of my old email address, which is no longer my apple ID, and it says username or password is invalid (I'm guessing because that is no longer my apple ID).

You will wait for the rest of your life. You need to fix it; no one else will. To turn off "Find my iPhone" and its associated Activation Lock you need the Apple ID and password that were used to turn it on. If you know the Apple ID you can contact Apple Account Security and have them reset the password (after you prove you are the rightful owner of that Apple ID). see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.
If you don't know the Apple ID the phone is permanently unusable.

HT201335 when using apple tv with my ipad, the mirroring function does not work, screen goes black, what is the issue?

when using apple tv with my ipad, the mirroring function does not work, screen goes black, what is the issue? My son's Ipad(same as kind as mine) works ok with the apple tv but mine does not. Any suggestions?

Hello Nina Izurin,
While written for the iPhone, the troubleshooting below can help resolve issues with your iPad's camera, as well.
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

Will Apple continue to update &/or upgrade Snow Leopard?

After Lion, will Apple continue to update &/or upgrade Snow Leopard?

Sorry, speculation is outside the T&Cs of this forum. (but I doubt it apart from security updates).

Problems with iCal Server 2 and Snow Leopard Clients

I am currently running iCal Server 2 on Snow Leopard Server, with approximately 6 client computers connected to a single shared calendar account. I have digest authentication enabled, and am thus using Kerberos (but not SSH), as well as 3 iPhones.
Upon initial connection, I can get all the clients - computers and phones - to properly pull down all the calendar data, and match one another. However, several of the computers are having trouble updating properly when new events are added. After some troubleshooting, it seems that the computers running Snow Leopard are not properly updating with events that are entered from other computers, either Snow Leopard or Leopard. They can, however, post events to the server themselves without any errors. Interestingly, the Leopard computers can push and pull updated events just fine, and will update with new events whether they originated from a Snow Leopard or a Leopard client.
We had some recurring login/authentication issues a while back, which seemed to resolve when I disabled digest authentication; I'm wondering if perhaps that has something to do with the problems now. We're mostly using BusyCal as client software, with the iPhones obviously using iCalendar.
Just looking to see if anyone else has had similar problems, with Leopard clients working well and Snow Leopard clients having issues. Thanks!

Noby_me,
A lot of folk are having major issues with many Adobe programs and Snow Leopard. You are not alone. For many, rolling-back to Leopard has been the cure. From "word on the street," it appears that Apple is aware of these issues and are working on an OS update. I have no schedule, but that word was out about a month ago, so let's hope that the update is soon in coming.
You might want to do a Search on this, the Encore and the PS fora for "Snow Leopard." There are plenty articles.
Good luck,
Hunt

I have a 2007 MacBook 2GHz intel core 2 duo and i want to update to either snow leopard or lion what can ido if i have 10.4 already. please help

You can upgrade from 10.4 straight to 10.6 with no problems. Any program that runs under 10.4 should run under10.6. See this list for compatibility with 10.6: http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any Power PC applications http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/ I recently upgraded an older MacBook (model 1,1) straight from 10.4 to 10.6.
Once you are at 10.6.8 Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store. The price is $19.99.
You must have at least a model 2,1 MacBook. Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard and foolishly upgraded to Yosemite. Is it possible to go back in time with Time Machine and reinstall Snow Leopard. Then upgrade to Lion or Mavericks? Any other ideas on how I can exit Yosemite?

I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard and foolishly upgraded to Yosemite. Now have numerous problems. Is it possible to go back in time with Time Machine and reinstall Snow Leopard? Then upgrade to Lion or Mavericks? Any other ideas on how I can exit Yosemite?

Once you get yourself back to Snow Leopard, if you still want to upgrade somewhat, I would suggest the following:
1. Get an external hard drive that you can use for experiments with new OS versions. You could partition it into 2 or 3 partitions. You could then clone your existing Snow Leopard system to one partition using Carbon Copy Cloner (well worth $40) or SuperDuper ($25).
2. Buy OS X Mountain Lion for $20, through the Apple online store (I don't think it's available through the App Store). Apple has decided to make it very difficult for anyone to get Mavericks unless they have already downloaded it.
You will receive two e-mails from Apple, one containing a PDF with a redemption code, and one with the password you will need to unlock the PDF. Using the code, you will download Mountain Lion from the App Store, where it will appear among your Purchased items.
After ML finishes downloading, its installer app will launch itself. When you see this launch screen, QUIT the install app immediately! Go to your applications folder, find the Install OS X Mountain Lion app, and copy it to a safe location outside of your Applications folder. Keeping one or more copies will allow you to reinstall without unnecessary aggravation if you later need or want to do that. At this point, you can re-launch the Installer in the Applications folder and let it run. You can install it on a clean partition on your external HD, or you can allow it to upgrade the Snow Leopard clone you created on your external drive, or you can do both. This should allow you to test how everything works for as long as you like.
3. If you left yourself a free partition on your test drive, try a clean install of Yosemite and set everything up from scratch (do not migrate anything). This will allow you to see whether your problems with it were related to something in your Snow Leopard system.

TS1394 Software Update NOT WORKING (Snow Leopard)

Software Update NOT WORKING (Snow Leopard)
Hi, I am currently using Snow Leopard 10.6 on my iMac. I opened iTunes and was told there was an update available so I clicked the button to download it. This obviously opened up the 'download' screen with blue bar. The blue bar does not move and the message comes up that the download failed. I have tried troubleshooting, but the message I get is that I am not connected to the internet - which I am.
Please help.

Check your iTunes version, it's reporting v10.6.3 here on 10.6.8 and no updates required.
You should be able to download it from here

Apple has broken Windows file sharing in Snow Leopard

Hi Folks,
Having a serious problem here.
Apple has broken Windows file sharing in Snow Leopard. Many others on the forums are experiencing the same thing. I was almost ready to fully switch to the Mac, then I thought I would upgrade to SL, then this happened...
OK so I have a Windows Server 2003 Small Business Server. It's pretty much the same as the standard Windows 2k3 server except that it throws in a few extras (And takes some things away). I'm also lead to believe, that there is a difference w.r.t. password signing/encryption or something?
Anyways, if I try and connect to my SBS server with the correct username and password (In different formats: Domain\username or just username), I get a "Unable to connect to server. Check IP..." blablabla. This happens after the password prompt has come up.
If I try and connect to my standard windows 2003 server box, it does work, just very slowly (Again, referring to the whole thing about how SBS treats password security differently).
So I ask a couple of things:
1) It would be appreciated if any other forums members could maybe help me get this going?
2) A plea to Apple - please fix this. It all worked perfectly in Leopard!
Apple probably haven't tested SL against SBS 2003 server. A lot of companies don't do this either as they think that it is just the same as the standard 2003 server (Which i hope Apple have tested against!)
Thanks guys

I have the same problem. Here are the details:
External Hard Drive with LAN (Buffalo Drivestation Flexnet: http://tinyurl.com/kk5mmu)
Mac OS X 10.6, on 3 different Mac Mini's
This error occurs on all computers when trying to copy a file to the 'SHARE' sharepoint on the SMB Drive:
"The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in "filename" can't be read or written. (Error Code -36)"
I CAN

Access / Read / Write this Drive in OS X 10.5.7
Make new folder on this Drive in OS X 10.6

Save a document to the drive from the Text Edit save dialog in 10.6
Save a document to the drive from the Pages save dialog in 10.6
Duplicate a document on the drive using Terminal (cp Untitled.pages Untitled2.pages) in 10.6
Copy anything to any other computer on the Network using 10.6
I CAN NOT
Copy a document to the Drive in 10.6
Duplicate a document on the Drive in 10.6
Save a PDF or JPG to the drive from the Preview save dialog in 10.6
This error happens every time. It is easily reproducible.
I hope that this information helps Apple get on to the problem soon.

When is Apple coming with an update to fix Snow Leopard???
