Post your snow leopard flaws (The Snow Leopard bug report)

Neither my lexmark x4550 printer nor my hp f4280 all in one work. I used to be able to scan to ocr and to pdf. Now I can't even print. i have tried everything that I have read from hp etc. Time to remove sl I think as I have to be able to scan. :confused:

Ok.... This is really difficult and to be honest, I don't even know how I got it to work.I used a combination of re-installing the lexmark drivers and applications and using the CUPS driver to manually configure it.
When I print it says there is a communication error.... but as STUPID as Lexmark is...(I hate them) it still prints (which is a plus).
It somehow is now able to wake my printer from power-save (which it didn't before)

My problems are the following (Upgraded from Leopard, and I am using 10.6.1)

I'm sure some of these have been mentioned before.

-Vertical lines when clicking on Top Sites
-Random Crashes due to java or flash applets

-Lexmark Printer doesn't work fully
-Logitiec Control Center doesnt recognize my keyboard or mouse. (Frankly, thats Logitecs problem, and should have been fixed weeks ago.)
-Battery seemed to be used up faster
-When I have a lot of applications open, some don't appear on the dock or in the application switcher

-Mail randomly redownloads my entire Yahoo! Inbox of over 1000 messages, despite the fact I already read them.
-iCal doesn't properly sync with gCal.

-Random memory leaks. I had my computer on over night and my Inactive Processes went from 360MB to 1.78GB for NO REASON!!! I have NO idea what is raping my memory.
-It doesn't seem like some applications are fully using Grand Centeral, or I am just not grasping the idea. Some thing seem slower now. Final cut has been hanging a little more, and Adobe CS4 apps are taking a little longer to load.

-Time Machine is still slow to load, but has improved.
-My Weather Widgets randomly move out of place
-Sometimes on start up Finder Icons don't load properly, instead its just a name and a grey dotted outline.

That's all I can think of really. My BIGGEST issue is this mystery memory leak that is eating away at my 4GB ram.... Almost half is taken by Inactive processes when I have Safari, Finder, and the Process Manager open...:mad:
 
missing icons

has anyone seen this issue? i went to install VLC and after clicking on it i saw nothing and thought that VLC had crashed, but then I looked on my dock for the icon, i saw a blue indicator dot but no icon and that it said that VLC was open. I've noticed this for other apps when I try to install them. Should I try to repair permissions to see if this works?
 
DNS323 not working anymore

I have a DNS323 running on my gigabyte LAN, worked great until I installed Snow Leopard. It sees it but I get:
The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “Volume_1” can’t be found.

Same on both my iMac 24 and Macbook!
 
don't know if this has been reported, but when using Microsoft Messenger I cannot change my display picture. I could under Leopard, but not under Snow Leopard.

I don't like Adium or any other client so I use Microsoft Messenger.
 
Has this been mentioned? Double Open With items for archives.

I'm seeing double archive related apps in my Open With menu in the contextual menu in Finder. Has this been mentioned?

I just noticed it now. What I did to eliminate the problem was to move the apps in question(ForkLift, The Unarchiver, 7zX) to the Trash and then relaunch Finder. Dragging back the apps to the Applications folder seems to have helped.

I don't mean to duplicate the report :eek:
 
Playing a DVD (Fame: The Original Movie) and it stops, stutters, restarts, stops, stutters ... If I pause and restart it has no problem. Disc was just released this week and ... plays fine on my Sony DVD player without incident.

No problems with DVD's before the most recent SL update -- in other words, 10.6.1 may be breaking DVD playback (I'll have to check more discs and update this post).
 
Most seems to be going well but have experienced a few issues.

1.) iCal icon displays wrong date in dock icon until its opened

2.) Get the weird display freak out when opening new tab in safari to top sites.

10.6.1
 
New MBP with SL. Watching videos in Front Row does not update last played and play counts.

I duplicated this by upgrading an iMac to SL. Once SL was running on the iMac, the same exact thing started happening on it.

Same on my MBP.
 
Video in Iphoto

:( Iphotos won't open the video clips in the application, any ideas. It used to work by double clicking the thumbnail but now it's dead!

Are you using iPhoto '08 ? I had that same problem. Curiously, just having checked it again, I see that it now works. The videos are actually opened by Quicktime Player 7, so you may want to try installing that if you haven't already...
 
When flicking through videos in QuickLook, it'll somethings just say "Loading Preview" and then not do anything - even if I go back to a previous video it'll say the same thing (even though it played that video in QuickLook just before).

Restarting Finder fixes it, then after watching another 4 videos in QuickLook, same problem.
 
Before upgrading to SL my Late 2008 Macbook Pro would run for 10-15 days without freezing. After the upgrade it freezes after a day of it running. Its ubsurd. I've noticed this happens when I have Safari or iTunes open. Has anyone else experienced this?
 
for some reason, time machine doesn't back up automatically. i called 3 apple care representatives, and i ended up turning time machine on and off, reselecting my backup volume, repairing and verifying permissions, resetting the pram and smc, and I still have no luck. I think that time machine in snow leopard only backs up hourly if you have used the computer during that time period. can anyone relate to a similar problem?
 
sleeping issue

Not quite the same problem, but whereas my macbook would go to sleep immediately, it now takes considerably longer. Annoying.
 
Hey everyone.. Can anyone here confirm this on their Mac with a Bluetooth mouse and 10.6.1 with Steermouse/LCC or without(it happens to me regardless). This is a new fresh installation with nothing but Glimmerblocker,Default Folder X and Steermouse 4.0 installed.

The link below is to a .mov file
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/2048633/Sk%C3%A6rmoptagelse.mov

Notice how the icons disappear when I drag the files around!?

I don't know what is causing it. I reinstalled OS X Snow Leopard because of this, but it is still here.

Edit: I think it might have Dropbox for reasons beyond me.
 
If your iTunes window is 'maximized' and you try to move one of the displayed columns in list view, dragging them right up to the edge of your screen to make the view scroll a bit horizontally, Spaces is activated and switches you to the adjacent virtual screen. Why I would want to drag a column there, I'm not sure... :mad:


( This problem may have existed on Leopard already or may have been introduced with iTunes 9 )

seems to have been solved by itself, so whatever it was, it's gone now.
 
also in expose when I do the 4 finger swipe down you have to move the mouse otherwise it won't change back out of expose. If I do the 4 finger swipe down and then just click without moving the mouse expose stays there.

Flicking through sometimes causes QuickLook to crash completely and cause Finder to restart..
 
When opening folders filled with lots of stuff it kinda lags then it does this weird thingy that's reallly bin bugging. I guess i have to post a video or something to explain
