Clearly a 10.6 issue. Mine has no issue at all with FW, it has not got FW. -- dorayme

My son just bought a Macbook with 10.6 It was used, though it didn't look it, and I _think_ was a 10.5 when new. It was able to read a eMac in TDM with no problem. The only problem he has found was that a keyboard layout editing tool called Ukelele seemed to not work, while it worked OK in 10.4 -- Wes Groleau "If it wasn't for that blasted back-hoe, a hundred of us could be working with shovels" "Yeah, and if it weren't for our shovels, a thousand of us could be working with spoons."

My own mac skills probably peaked ten years ago. I come here often for help with whatever puzzles me. I have had questions from time to time, but they have always been quickly and simply solved. My only issues with 10.6 have been dealing with my own ignorance of the finer details in fully using whatever may be available to me. I have some old firewire hardware, and it works just fine. I had to get an inexpensive adapter so that my fw400 gear could plug into the fw800 receptacle. My wife has a new all metal laptop with fw800 in it. No apparent problems for her, either. I'm using vue scan for my "old" microtek scanner and am perfectly happy with it. My printer is an older konica/minolta color laser, and have had no problems with that, either - simply downloaded a new, free driver from the mfr. I did have problems with an old version of photoshop elements that apparently did not want to live in the new computer - wouldn't swallow the serial number and other registration data. feh. I got a couple of different programs to take its place - Pixelmator (inexpensive) and Gimp (free) and am happy with these programs. I'm just a hobbyist, a tinkerer and piddler of sorts and am happy with 10.6. I got a bad attitude about iphoto though, and do not use it - never did. I am smitten by the thin wireless keyboard and consider the mouse to be borderline magic. I always preferred a trackball, before, but now enjoy this new mouse. I laid down a sheet of self-stick plastic laminating material on my desk and enjoy using this mouse. tom koehler -- I will find a way or make one.

Are we all clear at this point? 10.6 is probably the best OS when you run apps in 32 bit mode. 64 bit mode has many problems with incompatible drivers and code libraries, even for Apple's own software. The 32/64 switch is in the "Get Info" window so there are no hassles in choosing. -- I won't see Google Groups replies because I must filter them as spam

Scanning with the software included in Mac OS X 10.6 New with Snow Leopard, the Scanning interface to these HP Inkjet All-in-One devices is now built into Snow Leopard and supported with the Apple Image Capture application. There are three ways to perform scanning from your HP All-in-One: o Preview program o Image Capture program o System Preferences > Print & Fax Important: After you open the scan interface, it is important to select the correct mode (Flatbed or Document Feeder ) for the source of the scan image. Your HP All-in-One may have an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) or a flatbed lid. By default, Document Feeder will be the automatically selected Mode for any devices that have an ADF. You must select Flatbed if you want to scan directly from the glass flatbed and not the Document Feeder. For more information about Scanning and Image Capture, open the Help menu from Mac OS X 10.6 and type in your question. Method one: Scan from the Preview application 1. Click the Apple Preview icon in the dock to open the Preview application. 2. From the Preview File pull-down menu, choose Import from Scanner . 3. Choose the HP Photosmart, Officejet, or Deskjet All-in-One. The scan interface opens. Click Show Details to view settings and options. Method two: Scan from the Image Capture application 1. In the Applications folder, select and open Image Capture . 2. In the list of devices on the left, click your HP All-in-One. Networked devices appear in the Shared list. The scan interface opens. Click Show Details to view settings and options. Method three: Scan from Print & Fax > Printer browser 1. From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences . 2. Click Print & Fax . 3. In the list of printers on the left side of the dialog, select the HP All-in-One to view the options in the Print & Fax window. 4. Click the Scan tab, and then click Open Scanner . The Printer Browser window appears. 5. Click the Scan icon at top right of the toolbar to launch scanning. The scan interface opens. Click Show Details to view settings and options. Important Gotcha: If the Scan or Print icons do not appear in the Printer Browser window toolbar, you need to delete the current HP printer queue and add a new one, as follows: 1. Close the Printer Browser window to return to the Print & Fax preference pane. Or, go directly to the System Preferences > Print & Fax pane. 2. Select your HP printer in the list on the left. 3. Click the - sign at the bottom of the list to delete the product from the list. 4. Click the + sign at the bottom of the list to add the product back to the list. 5. Select your HP printer, and then click Add to create a new print queue. The next time you open thePrinter Browser window, the Print and Scan icons should appear in the toolbar, providing access to Image Capture.
