Good evening,
I have a small, but irritating problem. Sunday night I finally got around to upgrading to Snow Leopard. This is where the fun begins! The external drive has a copy of my old system 10.5.8 with everything on it including CS3/ Office 2008 and even iTunes. Those along with many of my desktop folders which had reference photos were almost entirely corrupted.
Corrupted? Well, I see them there but when you engage them, a popup window displays and and says, for instance, "The file xxxxx does not open, OS does not recognize format" but the "file xxxx is a .jpg file!
Then there was the nightmare of seeing app's that normally work, ie, Photoshop just bounces on the dock and refused to open. Poser was the best. The icon disappeared from the dock all together. I tried first re-installing the software from the external. When that didn't work, I had to go and (for the last 48 hrs) delete all of the programs and reinstall and re-register. That helped along with a 48-minute call to Apple trying not to sound too stupid when explaining that my episodes of The Amazing Race wouldn't play in iTunes except for Episode 6 which was downloading after I got 10.6.2 installed late Sunday night/ early Monday morning.
Everytime I try to drop a photo in a particular desktop folder, I need to "Authenticate" that move. Looking in the preference doesn't give me any clue as to how to stop this questioning. I look at the dozen or so movie folders in my movie sidebar and can only access about 40%, although I see the names of the movies there, OSX tells me that it doesn't not recognize the format. (It doesn't recognize .mp4!)
Should I try to just reinstall Snow Leopard again or should I just give up and go back to 10.5.8?
HELP!!!!!!!!!!
