I’ve been snooping reading around the blogs and the “Twittersphere” and have been reading the many issues early Snow Leopard adopters are having.

Of course, alot of the complaints are the same…so I have listed some resources and tips below that may help resolve some of these temporary Snow Leopard issues and get you going

Gripe #3 : Flash not working

This is a simple fix, update it. It may be hard to believe , but not everyone (including Adobe, well mostly Adobe) was ready for Snow Leopard. The update is semi-painless and quick. Go  ahead, update

Gripe #2 : “I don’t notice that much of a difference!? Don’t know if it was worth my hard earned Mullah….GRRR”

Though I am getting a bit carried away with the emotions and sound effects, it’s one of the biggest Snow Leopard gripes out there right now. The truth is, this was not supposed to be some HUUUUGE OS overhaul, even though in my opinion there are alot of changes and even with the hassle it was worth the $29 upgrade

Besides this you may actually not be using Snow Leopard at it’s peak anyway . To run Snow Leopard in 64 bit mode, at boot up press “6″ and “4″ and watch the magic happen.  Well, not really, only heavy duty Mac users will notice the difference in speed from 32 to 64 bit mode. Just give Snow Leopard a chance, Apple will release some much needed updates soon and when you get them you will be happy. This is just one of the things that come with being so on top of your Mac game

And the biggest GRIPE of them all -

Gripe #1: “I have “X” app and it’s not working with Snow Leopard…..AHHHHH!!!”

No need to throw your pretty little Mac across the room, there are a few workarounds for some apps and their compatibility issues.  Also remember, the simple fix is sometimes simply an update, many app developers have pulled all nighters just to get these fixes out for the early adopters and darn it you should use them (whew, lost myself on that one, lol). Anywho,  to check if a particular app should work with Snow Leopard or has some sort of workaround that will stop you from pulling out your last few hairs, check out this GREAT Wiki resource Snow Leopard Compatibility .

Also, you could always contact the developer/company and let them know what’s going on. You would be surprised how helpful this could  be
