(Maybe a system update did it?)īut why doesn’t the Time Machine menu bar icon show that TM has been turned off? Surely this is fairly critical information that would be useful to know? Since the icon doesn’t change, I had no idea that TM had been turned off for the past 2 months. What’s been happening? Why hasn’t Time Machine been warning me that it couldn’t do backups? I opened the Time Machine preferences and found that Time Machine was, in fact, turned off. Today I happened to click the icon by accident and noticed the following dreaded words in the pop-up menu: The little Time Machine icon was sitting there in the menu bar, as it always does: Posted in Mac OS | Comments Off on Apple Just Released Mac OS X 10.6.4, Photoshop CS3 Works Againįor the last 2 months I assumed my Mac’s Time Machine was merrily backing up my hard disk every hour. Overall I’m a happy camper with Snow Leopard. Nice! For reference, you can toggle this feature by right-clicking and choosing Spelling and Grammar > Correct Spelling Automatically. Ooh, and I’ve just noticed that some apps, such as TextEdit, auto-correct text as you type (for example, “teh” -> “the”). I also love the new Dock pop-up menus – they suit the Dock much better than the old grey menus that are used in the menu bar.

I no longer get a slight lag when typing into a form in Firefox. Browsing other Macs on the network is smoother. Mail brings up messages and message lists faster. I can’t point to anything specific, but the whole thing just feels snappier somehow. Problems aside, Snow Leopard seems lovely and fast so far. I get the error “This page has encountered an error that may prevent it from working correctly.” Could be a problem Google’s end though. One other unrelated problem with Snow Leopard: Google Analytics no longer works in Safari 5. Talk about lucky timing for me! Some poor sods have been stuck with no Photoshop since March because of this problem. Yay! This just a day after I upgraded to Snow Leopard. Why didn’t they give the logic board a proper serial number? No idea, but it seems a bit slack of Apple.Īnyway, all this is moot now because Apple have today released Mac OS X 10.6.4, which works around the issue. Why? Because Apple replaced my logic board 2 years ago. Adobe should have followed Apple’s guidelines on serial number length.įor the record, my iMac’s serial number is “SystemSerialNumb”. Whose fault was this? Sounds like you could blame Apple or Adobe, but personally I’d say Adobe after reading this forum post. My Photoshop CS3 started crashing on launch. I finally took the plunge on Tuesday and upgraded my iMac from Leopard to Snow Leopard.
