Why would some programs do not work? I think all regular programs work, except for add-ons and plugins, since a 32bit plugin/add-on won't work on a 64-bit application.

The base line of the system is the same. All they did was clean up the code.

There are some changes SL in so far as the way some programs register themselves in Leopard vs Snow Leopard as far as I can see in my poking around and deciphering some error messages, depending on how deep they go with certificates etc. I think it was the same sort of thing when Leopard first came out. It really depends on how far into the system and what areas of the system programs need to embed themselves.

Well, it appears that most of the apps appearing on this thread are not really that important (at least for me). I could care less if SL breaks a screensaver, a game, or any third party software that controls the system. The ONLY app listed so far that has any value to me is Dreamweaver, but I'm sure Adobe will fix that before SL arrives or soon after. I suppose the same thing will happen for all the professional applications.

I'm more interested in apps like, CS 4 design, After Effects, Lightwave/Maya, FCS 3, Nuke, BBEdit, and drivers for Epson scanners and printers... etc. I'm especially interested to know if Final Cut renders faster. And finally, I'd like to know if Safari is snappier. :D

Dreamweaver should just work. Not sure what is up with that. I don't really care about screensavers either, but I did think it was odd how 100% of my non stock screensavers were blocked. that doesn't really make much sense. Screensavers are pretty simplistic, all and all, to begin with.

In Leopard, there was a well-known bug (at least before 1.24, not sure if that fixed it). Every few games, a "Port in use. Close other applications and try again." error came up every few games. Is that still there?

Does anyone have a problem when with Adium it won't remember your passwords, so when you connect to a network you have to type it in every time?

Another program that seems to be buggy is Screen Sharing, the built in screen sharing app. For some reason, even if the username/pass combo is correct, it'll say it's not like 4 times and the 5th time, without changing anything, it'll finally connect.

Dropbox also works but has a bug, when you have files in the public folder you can no longer right click and "copy public URL", the Dropbox menu no longer shows up in the right click menu.

I can confirm DNS-323 NAS Samba access is not broken. It prompts me for username/password every time even though I pick to remember. It connects and I can access files fine though.

Let's have a list of applications that currently don't work under Snow Leopard 10A432.

CandyBar 3.1.2 - Unstable, becomes unresponsive after some time. Cannot scroll through installed icons.

Glims - Installs, but doesn't show up in Safari preferences.

Inquisitor - Installs, but doesn't show up in Safari preferences.

DNS-323 NAS Samba access is also broken in Snow Leopard. I can confirm this.

Let's keep this thread updated for the convenience of other people.

Is there any way to open third party 32 bit System Preferences (under "Other) in System Preferences? Connect 360, Flip4Mac, Growl, MacFuse, and Shades just tell me it needs to quit and reopen, and then it never reopens.

I've heard Flip4Mac and MacFuse have 64-bit versions in beta, so you may want to try those.

Can someone please cross-check if the Adobe Shockwave player isn't working as it should ? After a clean install of 10a432, Shockwave player is the only thing that doesn't work for me.

Cisco VPN Works :eek:
Click to expand...

The VPN you're connecting to doesn't work with SL's builtin Cisco IPSec support?

I'm just waiting on my workplace to setup our VPN on new hardware that will work with SL (and the iPhone VPN) so I can dump the Cisco piece of crap.

one new feature i found is that the uMBP now detect touches to trackpad i.e you don't have to click the trackpad, just touch with poking way which is good as it's more silent and won't wear the track pad

If you use an application that requires Rosetta, software update will pop-up with a window telling you need to download Rosetta to run that software. I wouldn't install Rosetta on customize installation until I need it (maybe) on a future software download
