That's interesting, I have not had this problem and I too am using a Time Capsule to backup my MBP. Did you do a clean install or an upgrade? Also, are you backing up wired or wireless?
Got a tip for us?

Can someone direct me to information on the printing problems people are reporting here. So far, I have installed SL on three machines without problems... until yesterday. I'm a teacher, so I went to my classroom yesterday for the first time to print using my classroom HP laser printer. I connected to my school's wireless network just fine, but I couldn't easily add my printer. I was shown three "nearby" HP printers, but instead of their friendly network names (e.g "Rm. 53 Laserjet"), I was shown cryptic names, none of which represented the printer sitting five feet from me.
I solved the problem by using the IP printing feature. After manually entering the IP address of my printer, everything worked fine.

(you don't really need to run the kernel 64-bit on that system, not gaining you a heck of a lot in the grand scheme of things and leaving you open to 3rd party, etc. incompatibilities in the short term)

no, it shows they should not have rolled it out, and make us suckers *cough* ginea pigs *cough* regression test until it's correct.

+1. Or you can always edit /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist to make it look like this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyLis
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>arch=x86_64</string>
</dict>
</plist>If your system is able, it will then boot into 64-bit mode every time with no need to hold the keys down.
hp5180 networked printer, works fine over the network with Snow Leopard supplied drivers. This in on an Imac and on a macbook. Not only do they print over the network, scanning works also.

The only thing rubbish is your comments. Have you ever tried clean installing Leopard or SL without re-importing your preferences and user data to see how it runs?
I'm pretty sure you will find that it runs quite well and that you will be able to slowly add back your applications until you find out where your incompatibility problems are coming from.
A lot of Tiger fans seem to be upset when they pull in preferences, settings, extensions and 3rd party code that was written five years ago for Tiger and doesn't run well under Leopard or SL.
If you think SL upgrade was 'horrible' just be glad you aren't running a Wintel box, you'd actually have something to complain about if you saw what they consider an upgrade.
I've had the following problems on my Mac Pro (2006):
The above issues have been experienced after performing a clean install. I originally did an upgrade but the machine was unbearably slow after the installation.
- My Mac Pro won't go into sleep mode. I can force it to sleep by using the 'Sleep' command in the
menu, but it won't do it by it's self. I have tried this on both a 10.6 upgrade and clean install and both have the same problem. - On occasion I have no menu bar after booting up.
- Some of my drives go to sleep even thought I have disabled the option in energy saver.
- A few crashes with iTunes and Safari.
- Occasionally get permission errors when syncing my iPhone.

If you wish for a company to not release software until it is perfect, then you can wait from here until eternity because there is no such thing.
Snow Leopard is just fine for a majority of its purpose. Of course there will be glitches and that is why they push out updates. And no one forced us to be *cough* willing participants in a .0 software release *cough*

I didn't ask you to stop expressing your opinion, so please stop being a god like figure to tell me what to do. whoever wants to will read it.

[*]On occasion I have no
I've noticed this bug too, which is strange because I never saw it during the SL pre-releases. Not the end of the world, as usually clicking the top of the screen brings it back, but still kind of weird.
Firstly. I stopped using tiger once Leo came out, secondly I hate wintel with passion but I have to express my dissatisfaction with late outings of apple.
I am not happy with the fact they are subliminally moving their efforts to iphone and tablet.
The only trouble I've had is with my Sony ExpressCard MemoryStick reader. Under the 64-bit kernel, it appears to work but doesn't recognize the memory card when inserted, and under the default 32-bit kernel, inserting the memory card causes a kernel panic every single time. 🙄
This is the first time I have ever seen a kernel panic in person. 😱
But on the plus side, my printer still works, all my apps still work, and Jesus H. Tapdancing Christ the Messiah, it's fast. It boots in about 8 - 10 seconds. Almost like having a solid-state drive. 😀

Yeah, I've only had this happen a few times, and as you say it comes back if you click at the top of the screen, but this appears to be one of the many little "glitches" that are being reported.

Opinions are one thing....but you have a clear disdain for Apple and this has made your posts look like mad rants. They are so negatively biased that no one can take them seriously. You conclusions are so off the wall that they make no sense. Try to make some sense......

This comment makes no sense. Do you not realize how much effort Apple has put into Mac OS X 10.6 and what it means for the future of the OS and desktop applications?
It is possible for a company to work on multiple projects in multiple market segements.

Same here. No problems with printing either. I have an HP printer and a Epson printer. Both of them work fine for me.
