[DM-MUG] Article: What Snow Leopard Broke

[Alan Maupin]

I'm reposting of an article i read this morning at <http://www.i4u.com/article26641.html

----------------------
With major OS upgrades come broken programs. When you make a bunch of  
changes to something like an operating system, you can't help but  
render certain things incompatible. Apple's just released a helpful  
list of programs that no longer work with the latest build of Snow  
Leopard. For your convenience, we've listed all of the known broken  
programs below.
Software restricted from installing/migrating:

1. Parallels Desktop, versions 2.5 and earlier.

2. VirusScan, version 8.6.

3. Norton Antivirus, version 11.0.

4. Internet Cleanup 5, version 5.0.4.

5. Application Enhancer, 2.0.1 and earlier.

6. AT&T Laptop Connect Card, 1.0.4, 1.0.5, 1.10.0.

7. Launch2net, 2.13.0.

8. iWOW plug-in for iTunes, 2.0

9. Missing Sync for Palm Sony CLIE Driver, 6.0.4.

10. TonePort UX8 Driver, 4.1.0

11. ioHD Driver, 6.0.3.

12. Silicon Image Sil3132 Drivers, 1.5.16.0.

Software that won't open.

1. Parallels Desktop, 3.0.

2. VirusBarrier X4, 10.4.4 and earlier.

3. SPSS 17, 17.1

4. Director MX 2004, 10.2

5. EyeTV, 3.0.0 to 3.1.0

6. Ratatouille, 1.1

7. Aperture, 2.1.1 and earlier.

8. Keynote, 2.0.2 and earlier.

9. Airport Amin Utility for Graphite and Snow, 4.2.5.

All of these programs have been moved automatically by Snow Leopard to  
an inaccessible folder on your hard drive. If you attempt to use this  
software, you will be warned that it is incompatible and cannot be  
used. At that point, you'll need to visit the vendors website and  
download a patch to restore compatibility.

This is why it's usually best to do something like an OS update on a  
Friday. Get it done today, and spend the weekend fixing whatever it  
broke. By the time Monday rolls around again, you should be back to  
full functionality. It's not the most enjoyable way to spend a  
weekend, but it is prudent.
