I'm late to the game with Snow Leopard and just upgraded today. The very first thing I noticed is that I can no longer active Spaces and then choose which Space I want with a number key. For example, in Leopard I had F19 mapped to display the Spaces view and then click '2' on the numberpad to display the second space. I used this A LOT and it was extremely fast and useful for me. But now with Snow Leopard, F19 will display the Spaces view, but clicking any numbers on the keypad doesn't do anything. I checked the preferences, but the only option is to select a key combination (ex: ^ Number Keys). I want to be able to hit *just* the number key.
Assign applications to spaces. Assign an application to any space from its icon in the Dock with a click. Quickly spread your work out in different spaces by assigning an application to a space right from the Dock. Just right-click the Dock icon and select a space for the application. I cannot find this feature in the latest build.
Has anyone got CS5 to respect Spaces settings in Snow Leopard? Even if I use System Prefs to assign it to a single Space, when I cmd-tab to Dreamweaver it simply moves itself into the current Space.
I have spaces assigned to my mouse buttons and one day it stopped working. I assumed my mouse button went bad until I tried another mouse. The button is assigned correctly spaces just doesn't respond to it...sometimes. Sometimes it works find. Has anyone else had this? I'm trying to narrow down if its my system or not.
I have looked in the forums and haven't found anything specific to my issue. I can't tap F8 because it starts music in my iTunes, so I set it up with right click on my mouse (yep using a mouse). When the spaces applications show up on my screen in squares, only Firefox shows up,and the others show up as blue squares with nothing in them. How do I get them to show up? I have the applications assigned to different spaces, not the same one. I have spaces enabled as well.

Before I got this new Snow Leopard I would hit f8 to bring up spaces, then move the cursor to say the upper left space, and then hit f8 again to move to that space. Now though, I have to move the cursor to the upper left space and then actually click the mouse button on it to go to this space. If I hit f8 without clicking, I just come back to the space Im already on.
Why this bother me is because first of all I work quicker the other way, no biggy though. BUT before I could also drag a file from one space to another because I could switch space only by using f8 and moving the cursor. Now when I have to click on the damn thing it'll "release" the file Im trying to drag, so I cant drag between spaces in the same cool and quick way.
I got the phrase "Stealing Focus" from Opera- it has an option where no webpage can put it's tab to the front of your view over what you were doing. I've had iMovie doing stuff all night and when it's done generating thumbnails or rendering/exporting a movie it always jumps to it's Space. Even when I switch immediately back to what I was doing in another Space it sometimes does it. AARGH- it's just done it now! Can't I just rely on the iMovie icon doing it's Zebedee impression on the Dock and switch back when I'm done?
Anyone have any idea of a feature that was originally going to be in Boot Camp, allowing it to switch very quickly between a hibernated version of Windows and a sleeping version of Leopard, is gonna be back for Snow Leopard?
Apparently the feature was dropped before the final version...
This would've been awesome, would love to see it back...
Ok so i loaded on snow leopard and days later my hard drive crashed. so to be safe when i got a new hard drive i loaded my computer to normal leopard. i want to fully try snow leopard again to see if some of the up dates fixed some of my programs working but if not i want to be able to go back to leopard. and i know you cant down grade. but if i were to time machine right before i put on snow, if i wanted to go back would it work to wipe my hard drive and reload everything from that time machine back up that had leopard on it? or no? what is the easiest way for me to try snow and if i dont fully like it then go back?
I was just wondering, in preparation of Snow Leopard, what would be the best way to backup? Should I restore from a TM backup, or should I copy my files and data to a external hard drive and then put it back on my computer?
Installed Snow Leopard and realized one of my most used features is now gone. When I used to quicklook a powerpoint presentation, I could scroll through the slides. Now it gives me a slide sorter and I have to click on each slide to move on in the presentation! This is something I used sooo much, being in school with tons of powerpoints every day!Is there any way to get back to the Leopard quicklook??
I am new to iMac switching from windows. i want to make a backup (two DVDs that came with iMac silver box) for my operating system DVD's. which software shall i use to back. in windows i normally used Nero to make backup CD/DVD
I recently bought the Mac Box Set for Snow Leopard and I was wondering if I should back up my computer first or if it's safe enough to just go ahead and upgrade? Would everything disappear, like iTunes, iPhoto, etc?
I had just reinstall my OS X leopard to my MBP.i wanted to restore my data back from my time machine that i have back up from my IMac which is running on snow leopard now.it prompt me a message saying my MBP is running on lower version so cant restore from the using time machine.
What should i do now to restore back to my leopard OS for my MBP ?
- i thought of reinstalling my imac OS but i'm afraid that my time machine last back up is snow leopard then i will have to upgrade before i can do a restore.
Can someone help me back up my computer on my Seagate GoFlex? I have backed it up before, but am not sure now what to do to just update the most recent changes.
Is it OK to just use my original Snow Leopard disc to reinstall SL or is it more complex ? I have upgraded to Lion but am having some problems with some software just not liking Lion.
Is there an easy way for a novice to remove 10.6.8 and get back 10.6.7? It's just making the fans work over time now, and it was pretty silent with 10.6.7. It's getting on my nerves.
I have a LARGE database in Apple Works. I need to get the in a different format.....I cannot open it in Lion. How do I go back to Snow Leopard, just for that task. WIll I loose stuff (I have only been running Lion for a few days....so I gave not created much on it.) I'm mostly concerned about pictures
Wanted to love Lion--hate it. I cannot run many of my programs for my students that I have invested a lot of money into because"Power PC Applications are not supported." Also, my students are network users--every time they log in to the network at a different computer, they have to reenter the iWork SN. It's a nightmare for a teacher with 300 students to help.I want to take my new iMacs running 10.7.3 and back them down to any version of Snow Leopard I can get them to. I can't clone them with Migration Assistant--the iMac running Lion just will not start with the older OS.
My dock keeps returning to previous setting. It simply throws out added Applications and changing the order back to how they were before. I deleted the dock.list thing in preferences which made it worse. Now i only have the original Apps in my dock.
Is it possible to go back to using a previous version of OS X once I've upgraded to 10.7 without doing a new install? My daughter wants to use a game (Roller Coaster Tycoon 3) that won't run on 10.7 based on reviews on Amazon.
I accidently removed the app and emptied the trashcan now i have no preview app and i can't do the disk to restart things over because my CD/DVD combo player won't eject the CD i already have stuck in there. Long story short my cousin accidently knocked over my coffee which then went all over my keyboard on my macbook pro and he tried his hardest to clean up the mess but couldn't clean up the in
i setup a bootcamp and made a partition of 5 gb and i tried to install windows7 but the partition was too small so and i was clicking around so i accidently click on the hard drive macintosh and now its installed on it and i have lost my leopard and on top of that some how it reinstalled the windows 7 again so when i go to c drive in windows it shows me old windows7 and i have nothign of os snow leopard so how do i get back snow leopard and remove windows 7 permanently
I must have deleted Preview from my macbook because I cannot find it in spotlight or anywhere! My macbook came with tiger, so I tried to get it from those disks with no luck, then tried the leopard upgrade disc, with no luck. How can I get preview (leopard version) back?
