• J6450 will not scan since the upgrade to snow leopard

  My J6450 will not scan since the upgrade to snow leopard. I can print fine but when I try and scan is says sorry, scanner could not be initialized (Scanner not found.)

  You scan the front of the unit?  The software included in Sl does not support that.  Also note the HP Scan Pro included in the 10.5 software will not work with 10.6.  The 10.5 software and delete the print queue.  Make sure your 10.6 is update 10.6.1 and go here to download and install the HP software for 10.6 and Setup for your J6540.  You should be able to scan after that.

• Upgrade to Snow Leopard and Time Machine

  Hello. I found this topic in an old topic, but it has been blocked so I couldn't answer. Here is a new.

  I have a fairly old MacBook Pro... mid-2007. Provided with Tiger. Upgrade to Leopard in 2010 or more. I want to now upgrade to Snow Leopard and make a complete installation where I have completely clean the existing hard drive.

  I did the Time Machine backups for about four years on my external hard drive. When I install Snow Leopard on my MBP, I can just do simple drag and drop the kind of things from my external hard drive on the hard drive of the MBP?

  For example, once I've erased the hard disk of the MBP and do a new installation of Snow Leopard, can I then connect my external hard drive, open a certain folder and something like Pages slide window of the HD to the window of the Applications on my MBP?

  Thank you!

  Drag and Drop could be a problem, because these applications and files will not be usable unless they are properly updated. It would be better to have a clean install of Snow Leopard and then use the Migration Assistant to transfer files from your Time Machine backup. Note that Snow Leopard will ship with the Apple apps so they do not need to be transferred. You can check with 3rd party developers to ensure the compatibility of their software and upgrade options.

  It is with the Migration Wizard:

  This article is useful, but a lot of your time, because he doesn't use Migration Wizard:

• Cannot parse after upgrading to Snow Leopard - C4580

  I have the HP all in one single C4580. No problems of printing or scanning up to that I've upgraded to Snow Leopard. I can still print but I can't scan unless I have used Image Capture. The printer does not appear in the window HP all in one device selector. I did set up the wizard again but my home network says that the server has failed and will not recognize the scanner. Anyone with the same problem?

  [title edited for clarity]

  You still have the HP software for 10.5 installed.  It does not play well with 10.6.  Let's remove this way:

  Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard / click Uninstall HP
  Click on continue
  Highlight your device in the left pane
  Hold down the Ctrl and Opt Cmd and click on uninstall
  There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall all hp software. (At this point, if you continue, all HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
  Click on continue and let it finish

  Now run a software update.

  Then, remove and reinstall the printer in System Preferences, Print & Fax.

  You do not have the software now since Snow Leopard as well print & scan drivers built-in. scan from Preview apps or Image Capture. Scan from the front panel of the printer does not work yet.

• 'All settings' menu inactive/gray on HPC5550 after upgrade Mac Snow Leopard

  I've just updated for Mac OS X 10.5.8 to 10.6.7 and cannot print.  I get "Printer cartridge failure" messages whenever I try to print.  I only use the black ink cartridge and let the empty color cartridge slot, which never seemed a question before.

  If you are using snow leopard and have the HP software before Snow Leopard (either from a CD not marked as compatible with 10.6 or you recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and had the software HP on your Mac before you upgrade - even if you made a standard from the old software uninstaller or installed new software on top of it) , you must uninstall the software using the "scrubber":

  Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard / click Uninstall HP
  Click on continue
  Highlight your device in the left pane
  Hold down the Ctrl and Opt Cmd and click on uninstall< scrubber="">
  There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall all hp software. (At this point, if you continue, all HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
  Click on continue and let it finish

  Restart your Mac

  Now run a software update.

  Finally, download and install the "Full Featured" driver and software from the "Support & drivers" link at the top of this page.

• PSC 2510i AIO: NOT more than scan after upgrade to Snow Leopard

  Hello

  After upgrading to Snow Leopard, I can't find my scan feature.

  I tried to different paths:

  1. install such as proposed through the Apple software update: no scanner not found, printing is working A-OK

  2. install HP_Installer_PSC2500_v9.7.dmg: does not work, gives errors.

  Removed all and re-installed the Apple / drivers HP through software update

  I've tested the HW, works fine, can sweep on the machine itself, but it is not a solution.

  I am enough fan of this machine, 100% over the years in the home network.

  Does anyone have a suggestion?

  Appreciate your help :-)

  Thank you!

  Hey the HP team.

  Just got an update of the printer HP by Apple and yes I can see the PSC2510i
  And Scan.

  It crashed a few times, but I guess that the reports will reach the development team.

  I am happy!
  I can disconnect and stop the Windows laptop...

  AND!  not even an additional feature!

  Multiples of scanning.
  It distinguises different objects, makes life much easier.

  Thanks again

• After upgrading to Snow Leopard 10.6.5 most of the files does not open in CS3 Rosetta, grayed out menu items

  After upgrading to Snow Leopard 10.6.5 most of the files will not open in CS3 and more menu items are gray,

  like "Photoshop" and "quit Photoshop. I have to force it to quit. Don't know what version of CS3 since 'about this Mac' is not available.

  But CS3 runs in mode of "Rosetta". I had done this years ago, my scanner would work.

  I don't remember how I managed to do run in Rosetta and don't know how to do so he could operate normally, if necessary.

  Change the name of the file or the plugin to have ~ as first character will prevent it to be loaded.

• Process of return to Snow Leopard of El Capitan

  I have an iMac from the beginning of 2008.  I was using Snow Leopard successfully.  Last weekend, I've upgraded to El Capitan.  During the conversion, I lost all my email history.  I had saved Snow Leopard in Time Machine just before the upgrade.  I want to find a process documented back to Snow Leopard (I have the dicc) and time using Time Machine to reinstall the emails.  I tried to reinstall the e-mails with the help of El Capitan, but it does not work.  Did Snow Leopard work - El Capitan runs very slowly with my chip set.  Any help would be appreciated.

  Here's what you need to do:

  Snow Leopard erase and install

  Remember to only back up your files.

  1. Insert the Snow Leopard DVD in the optical drive and restart the computer.
  2. Immediately after hearing the chime hold down the C key.
  3. Release the button when the Apple logo appears and wait for loading to complete.
  4. After the installer loads, choose your language and click on the continue button. When the menu bar appears select utility drive in the Utilities menu.  After disk utility charges select the entry out-bumpy in the list aside (mfgr. size ID and disc drive.)  In the right side of the disk utility window, click the Partition tab.  Set the number of partitions of one (1) in the menu dropdown. Click the Options button and select GUID, click on OK, the value of the Mac OS Extended journaled format type. Finally, click on the apply button.
  5. Once the format is complete, quit disk utility.  Continue with the installation of OS X and follow the directions.
  6. Once installation is complete, the computer will restart in the installation wizard. After completing the Setup Wizard, you will use a new installation of Snow Leopard. Open the software update and install updates recommended.
  7. If you plan to sell or to give to your remote computer, then proceed as follows: once you reformat your hard disk and reinstall Snow Leopard, the computer restarts with a welcome screen. To leave the Mac in a State OOTB (Out Of The Box), do not continue with the Setup program. Instead, press the command and Q keys to stop the computer. The installation wizard will guide you the new owner through the installation procedure, after that it turns on the computer.
  8. Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 v1.1 updated Combo. If necessary. It is not necessary if you are selling or giving your computer away.

• Mavericks upgrade to Snow Leopard

  Hello

  I have a user on creative and recently updated cloud update of Snow Leopard for the Mavericks. We noticed his æ CC started acting slow and unresponsive and finally fails or requires at least a Force Quit, and then restart.

  I can confirm us has done all the necessary Apple software upgrades as well as use creative cloud Manager to confirm that his æ is fully updated.

  Does anyone know if there is a conflict with AE CC and the Mavericks?

  Thank you in advance.

  Jordan

  Use creative cloud Manager to confirm that his æ is fully updated.

  Can you confirm for me that his computer is now running AE CC 12.2?

• Compatibility CD Snow Leopard with El Capitan

  Hello

  Until recently, I used the (installed via the original CD) on a plain Macbook snow leopard, and subsequently, I installed Windows XP SP3 via Bootcamp. I remember that after the installation I had to install utilities Bootcamp from the original CD of Snow Leopard.

  A few weeks ago, I upgraded to El Capitan, and then to Windows 7 in the original Bootcamp partition. Are there specific utilities of Bootcamp I should install?

  In which case the answer is Yes, where can I find/download utilities for editing?

  Thanks for the advice.

• Snow Leopard to El Capitan on Macbook pro 2011

  Hello world

  I run a 2011 Macbook pro under Snow Leopard and need to update to El Capitan because of my iPhone 5 that runs on iOs 9.
  Question?

  Should I upgrade to El Capitan or keep Snow Leopard?
  Is anyone doing this update already on a similar mac?
  I heard that it would be possible to partition the drive and use the two Os x. My concern is that my macbook pro would be slower, it works perfectly fine at the time or perhaps the risk of overheating due to the upgrade?
  And of course, I could lose valuable software like Xpress, my Adobe CS5...

  Sorry for the many questions but I have not found answers on the forum yet.
  Thanks in advance.

  (1) keep SL, but use El Capitan on the same drive or on an external boot disk.

  (2) others have, and it is possible.  I did not, but I'm a bit of a killjoy.

  (3A) Yes, it is possible.  I would advise, so you can keep your software that will be useful if - I don't you am not mocking, I understand very well keep working software.

  (3B), it may be a bit slower.  If you have less than 16 GB of RAM (you can run that much) the effect could be a little more pronounced.  If you only have 4 GB of RAM, you need to upgrade RAM first IMO.

  (3 c) don't worry overheating.  Fan CPU/controls is sophisticated enough to keep things working, as long as you do not block the main back-vent.

  Path, you can follow:

  (1A), you can partition using disk utility, but you should have a very good clone/backup before doing just in case a very rare event of bad things.  You also told us not how big your current drive is and how you have used.

  (1B), you could get an external 2.5 drive and I suggest that you get an external Universal connection kit for $15 fix any bare drive.

  (2) you can download the installer from El Capitan, but out of the automatic "starts to install.  Then copy the installation application to another location of re - later use these packs to remove critical package "in-house" at the end of installation.

  (3) If you have a second drive of clone of your current system (my preferred method), you can upgrade this clone, while keeping intact internal drive and startup just externally for iPhone operations.

• Update of os x Snow Leopard to El Capitan 10.11.5 10.6.8

  Hi all...

  I just upgraded my Macbook Pro 13 "since mid-2010 at the El Capitan 10.11.5."

  Configuration of my Macbook Pro:

  2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

  4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

  NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB

  These are the problems I encounter:

  • I can't switch between the previous page and next page with 3 fingers sliding left or right, I could do without effort on my previous version of the osx
  • The startup time is very high... (40 seconds to 1 minute)
  • The system preference takes time to open

  Please help on the above problems.

  The only reason to upgrade my Macbook Pro has been because the iTunes was not compatible with my new iPhone SE. (there where we need the itunes 12.3.3.17 and who used to work on my OSx snow leopard 10.6.8)

  Please help me to solve the above problems. Also let me know if I need a downgrade to older versions of the operating system

  Check your trackpad settings

   > System Preferences > Trackpad to scroll through the options

  To be honest, with only 4 GB of RAM and running El Cap - it all seems normal with a HD of spinning.  Snow Leopard is much lighter and compact operating system.

  The only reason to upgrade my Macbook Pro has been because the iTunes was not compatible with my new iPhone SE.

  It doesn't pay to get too far behind in technology or OS X.

  Add more RAM and an SSD, you'd be amazed at the difference. Check out https://www.macsales.com/
