Hi Michael, can I ask what sort of machine you had the Snow Leopard installation with? I upgraded a MacBook and a Macbook Pro and am very impressed with the speed increase and particularly with regaining approximately 22GB of disk space. With the exception a printer driver and minor issues with Mail all the old programmes still work OK., all be it in Rosette.

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, documents in .tif format not being readable on screen but they print ok. When I'm working under pressure and need to be able to rely on my computer to function efficiently (as it did before SL) I resent having to find a cure and taking 40 minutes or so to connect to the internet.

Re: Snow leopard Slow leopard
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 one of my sons bought a Belkin N1 modem/router. Besides at least tripling our download speeds, we now have zero disconnections. I can remember a conversation with the ISP a few months ago when I was told that replacing my iConnectAccess624 ADSL2 router would make little difference. LOL.

Hi John, I guess you have tried deleting the Bluetooth Preference file?~/ Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist Once deleted, restart the computer.

Try deleting this preference file:com.apple.systemuiserver.plist From the /username/Library/Preferences/ folder. Then restart your MacBook. Let us know if this solves your Menu Bar problem please.

Re: Snow leopard Slow leopard
Somewhat similar. Took about 1 hour 45 minutes to install on Macbook. Almost everything appears to be working but no noticeable improvement over 10.5.8. One exception - the intermittent Bluetooth problem I have been having for some time is now resolved; Bluetooth is gone completely. Not a sign of it in System Preferences.

Hello John, Do a SMC reset to get the bluetooth back. 1.) Shut down the computer 2.) Disconnect all cables, printers, etc. including the power cord. 3.) Remove the battery. 4.) Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds (you won't hear a tone or anything). 5.) Put battery back in and reconnect power cord. 6.) Turn computer back on. 7.) Open System Preferences- Bluetooth should show up under internet and wireless. Cheers, Ronni On 04/09/2009, at 8:38 AM, John Thompson wrote: Somewhat similar.

Re: Snow leopard Slow leopard
Thanks again Ronni, Bluetooth and Mighty Mouse worked for about 30 seconds and gone again. This original Macbook is more than likely the culprit.
