Re: Snow Leopard and generic printers

[Clyde McLennan]

Hi Ronni,
Thanks for that - I'll store the info away 'in a safe spot' ready  
for when I change to snow leopard - which maybe some weeks away.  Some  
other software I use has still to be cleared for SL compatibility by  
the suppliers.


 Cheers  ... Clyde

Hello Clyde,

Searching the Web I found this that could be helpful to you. It  
might be worth a try as it is "supposed" to work in Snow Leopard.

I can't verify that it does though.

"CAPT Printer Driver V3.00 for MacOSX"

If you do download it and install in OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard, one  
thing you should make sure is to delete the old printer  
configuration from the Print & Fax Preferences pane.
Then to check whether the new driver is used open the print queue,  
click on the Printer Setup icon and on the General tab you’ll find  
the driver version (3.00 in case of the Snow Leopard drivers).




Cheers,
Ronni

Re: Macintosh software update

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Mac,

Has Peter tried downloading and running The Combo 10.4.11 overtop?
Make sure he downloads the correct version for his iMac:

PPC Combo version:



Intel Combo version:



A couple of tips for Peter:

1. Before you install a System Update, ALWAYS repair permissions using  
Disk Utility.

   Then after the update is installed, repair permissions again.

2. Download & install the "Combo" version of a System Update.

If running the combo version over top & repairing permissions doesn't  
fix Software Update,

Peter could try Removing the Cache.db file from the folder:

Hi,

I have yet to upgrade to SL.

In regard to copying bits from columned text I just thought I'd  
mention that by holding down
the Option key as you mark you can copy any piece text from any column  
in Preview.

As long as the PDF is not locked/needing a password,just select

Using the drag and drop method, the resultant font is always in the

I have not tried transferring graphics or pictures but I have reason

If the PDFs are locked, you can use PDFPro key - another simple to

Hi Peter

If you find it stops working, I would recommending do what Ronni suggested
(uninstalling and reinstalling).
Had the network stop for a client using Parallels, and by uninstalling and
reinstalling it worked perfectly.

Hi Peter,

I have not had any problems in Parallels 4 Build 4.0.3844.
I have not yet updated to  Build 4.0.3846

I found this which might be of help to you at this link  

"Please follow the steps below in regards to the issue:

1. Please uninstall Parallels using the latest 3846 build.


But remember that you need to uninstall both application and  
application settings while uninstalling Parallels Desktop application.


2. Then install Parallels desktop build 3846. After installing you  
will be prompted to create a new virtual machine. Cancel that page and  
go to File -> Open and choose the appropriate .pvm file in Documents/ 
Parallels.


Also, install Parallels Tools.

Now, please check if this settings will work:

1. Go to Devices -> Network Adapter 1.
2. Choose bridged networking.
3. Then choose the default adapter, or the adapter name that has been  
listed there.



 "


Cheers,
Ronni

 Putting in my ten cents worth, the Snow Leopard installations here

 there have been zero problems with email connections to our ISP
 using Snow Leopard.

Clean my Mac program

[John Daniels]

Hi wamuggers
Re this program, are there things which I should not get the program  
to clean up, i.e. erase?  I have tried the free trial which has now  
expired so I have to decide whether to spend $50 for the licence for  
two Macs.

Anyone help?

My Snow Leopard gripe is with HP !!

[Stephen Chape]

I found after I installed Snow Leopard that my HP F380 multi function  
printer would no longer work.
I checked the HP website and found this printer in the list "no longer  
supported".
So I printed the list of those HP printers supported and took it to  
Harvey Norman.

No probs !!!
I purchased one on that list ... a C4480 multi function.

I now find that it will print and copy, but will not scan.
I emailed HP support.
They are still working on the scan function for that printer.

GREAT !!!
I am still waiting !!

Regards,
Stephen Chape

Re: Snow leopard Slow leopard

[Craig Bruce]

I totally agree with the replacing the router, There are many clients  
I go to see who are running old telstra speedstream modems or similar  
and moving to a belkin or a billion(somewhat more advanced) makes a  
big difference
With my own personal connection i connect at 4mbps with the standard  
settings and i can push that to over 8mbps on my billion by increasing  
the coding gain

Putting in my ten cents worth, the Snow Leopard installations here have gone 
smoothly here and the apps we regularly used before, still worked after the 
installation. Most, including some freeware apps have had automatic upgrades 
over the past two weeks from their authors to bring them further into line with 
SL specs.  Furthermore, there have been zero problems with email connections to 
our ISP using Snow Leopard.

The only slight SL problem I experienced was with a temporary loss of the 
Address Book function on one account. How that was fixed was described on this 
list.

There was also a huge improvement to our broadband speed a few weeks ago when

RE: Snow leopard Slow leopard

[Toby Oldham]

I'm so over (for today) testing software application process flows, I'm
going to put in my two cents.

I installed SL on my home iMac (2.4 Core Duo) and on my office machine
(8 core Mac Pro) - Haven't experienced any bugs, show stopping or
otherwise. Also, none of the apps I use seem to be the worse for wear.

Sorry to hear about your problems Michael.

Cheers,
Tobes.

Am I right in being very cautious about the upgrade to SL/SL?

Seems to me that Apple are at their usual best (and not so best here  
with Snow Leopard).They innovate & create brilliant products but  
they do not always fire well first off.  They test their new stuff on  
the consumer.   The sorts of fualts and gruambles as per Michael below  
are typical.


I think I'll wait six months - or more.

Re: Snow leopard Slow leopard

[Adrian Skehan]

 Michael,

My machine is as follows:

  Model Name:   MacBook Pro
  Model Identifier: MacBookPro2,1
  Processor Name:   Intel Core 2 Duo
  Processor Speed:  2.33 GHz
  Number Of Processors: 1
  Total Number Of Cores:2
  L2 Cache: 4 MB
  Memory:   3 GB
  Bus Speed:667 MHz

Is it a possibility that there is something other than the SL  
installation causing your grief? It just seems strange that your  
machine appears to be a bit of an exception to the rule.


Not that it is of any consolation to you, both the upgrades I did were  
seamless, I didn't have to do anything other than run a few updates  
when I started some applications.



Regards,

Adrian

Adrian,

MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

Annoying things like erratic connection to internet using Mobile3 usb modem,
