Re: 10.6.2 Adobe Reader iWork 06
Thanks Daniel and Ronni I deleted all Reader apps etc which would not open and did a fresh install of 9.3 which works OK now. The 9.3.2 update installation worked fine too. Thanks again John On 19/04/2010, at 6:33 PM, Daniel Kerr wrote: Hi John As Ronni has mentioned (and I did also in my original reply) you need the Intel one. You download Reader 9.3 then once it's download and installed you open Adobe Reader. Once its open you go to the Help menu and choose Check for Updates and it will come back saying there is 9.3.2 and it will download and install it for you. That should then get it up to date for you. Working from memory while out on road, but should be right :) And yes, Preview does a good job, if not better.

Re: 10.6.2 Adobe Reader iWork 06
Hi John, If you are running Snow Leopard, your computer has to be Intel not PowerPC, you need the Intel version of Adobe Reader.

Re: X11 in 10.6.2
Hi Peter, Have you checked Console for messages when you Launch X11? Launch Console from you Utilities folder and in the left pane select Console Messages. Leave it open, and then try to launch X11. You should see a series of messages appear as X11 launches. Are you getting an error message at some point in the sequence. One likely point could be a font problem. I know programs that run in X11 should launch it automatically. I'm just suggesting it would be quicker and less complicated to see what the hang-up is with X11 if you just launch it yourself without anything else attempting to launch at the same time. Have you check the Mac OS X Technologies Unix discussions, they might be worth trying. http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=735 Cheers, Ronni 17 MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz / 4GB / 800MHz / 500GB OS X 10.6.2 Snow Leopard Windows 7 Ultimate (under sufferance) On 08/03/2010, at 12:23 PM, Peter Smit wrote: Hi all, First time posting so bear with.

Re: HP LaserJet 5MP printer and OS X 10.6.2
Hi All -- -- I'm still struggling to find a way to print on an HP Laserjet 5MP from my Intel iMac, recently upgraded to 10.6.2. The printer connects via ethernet into my Belkin iiNet router, as does my Intel iMac. I've tried a slew of different drivers, including those built into Snow Leopard, all drivers just say Connecting to printer Network host '10.1.1.5' is busy; will retry in 5/10/20/30 seconds and that's as far as it gets. -- I can print from the Intel iMac to a Canon printer linked directly via USB, as you would expect. I have fired up my old G3 iMac running 10.2.8, also linked to the Laserjet via the Belkin hub, and can print on the Laserjet from this. I can transfer a file from the Intel iMac to the G3 iMac and then print this on the Laserjet, but this is very inconvenient. -- I've contacted HP about this (see below), all they can suggest is downloading another HP driver package, which I've done, but can't access the drivers in this package from Print Fax. The problem only began when I upgraded to Snow Leopard, so there is apparently some incompatibility between SL and the Laserjet used as a network printer. -- Has anyone any more ideas, please? It has been suggested that I could connect the 5MP directly to my Intel iMac via a USB cable, and print on it that way. Is that possible? The cable coming out of the 5MP has a telephone-style socket on it, this runs into a Fallaron EtherMac iPrint adapter, from whence an ethernet cable runs to the hub. Does this mean the last stage to the 5MP is actually Appletalk, not supported? Can I set up a system whereby I am printing remotely via the G3 to the 5MP, set up as the G3's printer? This would entail having the G3 switched on and active? Is the world telling me to buy a new laser printer?

Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.2 released
Hi WAMUGers, Apple has released Mac OS X 10.6.2, a sizable update to Snow Leopard that touches on many areas of the operating system. The changes are too numerous to chronicle: read Apple's About the Mac OS X 10.6.2 Update page for a list of changes. Also note the page detailing the security improvements in this update. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3874 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3937 A few important items do jump out: * The update fixes the Guest account deletion bug that would delete one's own user directory when you logged back in after a Guest login session was complete (see Apple Acknowledges Guest Account Data Loss Bug, 13 October 2009). Mac OS X 10.6.2 is available via Software Update or as two standalone downloads: the Mac OS X 10.6.2 Update is 473 MB and the Mac OS X 10.6.2 Update (Combo) is 479 MB. Typically, the Combo update would update Mac OS X 10.6.0 and higher, while the regular update would cover only Mac OS X 10.6.1. Presumably, the small size difference is related to the fact that Mac OS X 10.6.1 was an extremely small update. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL958 http://support.apple.com/kb/DL959 Also, the size of the update via Software Update can vary widely, depending on your computer. My 2.33 GHz MacBook Pro, released in 2006, required a 499.9 MB download, while my Mac mini from earlier this year needed a 157.7 MB download as was a colleague's Mac Pro from early 2008. Apple also released Security Update 2009-006 Client (143 MB) and Security Update 2009-006 Server (231 MB) for Mac OS X 10.5.8, which include the numerous security enhancements in Mac OS X 10.6.2, linked above. As ever, the issues addressed patch vulnerabilities exploited by maliciously crafted files or Web sites. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL963 http://support.apple.com/kb/DL962 Cheers, Ronni 17 MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz / 4GB / 800MHz / 500GB OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au

Re: Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.2 released
No Gordon it does not support Intel Atom in this release. Intel Atom support is confirmed to be missing in the final release of 10.6.2, citing multiple prominent Hackintosh sources. Apple's latest update for Snow Leopard has broken support for Intel's Atom processor line. Mac OS X 10.6.2 was released Monday afternoon, and was Apple's second major update for Snow Leopard. http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/09/11/09/intel_atom_support_officially_missing_from_mac_os_x_10_6_2.html Cheers, Ronni 17 MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz / 4GB / 800MHz / 500GB OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard On 10/11/2009, at 12:52 PM, Gordon Campbell wrote: Any word on if this final release has Atom support or not?

Re: Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.2 released
Oh yes Gordon, There is every chance that an Apple Tablet will be released in 2010, in fact I'm pretty sure there will be ;-) http://www.appletablet.net/ Just do a search in Google - Apple Tablet to be released? And you will gets heaps of rumours information. Cheers, Ronni On 10/11/2009, at 1:34 PM, Gordon Campbell wrote: Pfft. That's depressing.
