After installing Sno Leopard my computer does not recognize my HP photosmart C2750 scanner. It still prints, although it no longer recognizes the small photo tray. I was able to restore my dict. and Add. Book by dragging the app into the dock. Cannot get the hp app to do it. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

If you pinch toward the center, the icons will decrease in size. If you pinch away from your fingers, the icons will grow once again. Like on the iPhone, if you’re in need of augmenting the picture size to see more detail, you pinch. Do the opposite to make the picture smaller. Try it out. Or reply and I’ll get back to you with what I mean in more depth.

Yes, I think so too. He’s talking about SL, so he might have just not been thinking straight. The guy is obviously a Mac Head … So I’ll forgive him :-)

I just installed Snow Leopard in a new MacBook Pro. All seem well. I noted that desktop icon sizes keep changing. I adjusted the size so many times in View Options but it keeps changing (increasing size). This happens when I touch the track pad. This is irritating because icons get so large that some of them are not visible. For example, I cannot see the hard disk icon on my desktop. Is there any way to keep this from happening?

Thanks to Andy C. for previous answer… Now a question forC.S. I’m a little leery to try Mail… as before it removed all my mail in gmail and I could not get it back. I like gmail, but would like to use the mail system in contacting companies on their web sites. If I start up Mail… will it remove my inbox from gmail? Thanks

Mail has been completely overhauled. It works flawlessly with Gmail now. Deleting, or reading a message from the iPhone, or gmail webapp is immediately communicated to Mail.app now…

One problem elsewhere though: When using either bottom-corner hotspot to disable the screensaver is unworkable in full screen QuickTime. It causes the dock to float to the top and it won’t go away! Thankfully Hulu in Full screen mode in safari doesn’t have the same problem… Not sure about netflix yet…

Snow Leopard does seem to use more RAM than 10.5. For the most part this upgrade is pretty disappointing.

Ted: Do a search in spotlight for ‘Dictionary’ and you will find the application location in Snow Leopard. The shortcut you were using before is probably pointing to an old location.

Found a transparent image fix to get rid of that horrible Expose blue glow. It may fix this bug also:

no one is talking about the new scanning interface. Preview is much better now. http://www.greatecs.com
