coz my connectiv box driver approve only 10.5.8
According to Mactracker, given the size of the screen and the CPU speed your MBP could be one of these models:
- MacBookPro5,1, which originally shipped with OS X 10.5.5
- MacBookPro5,3, which originally shipped with OS X 10.5.7
Since they originally shipped with OS X 10.5, the system disc that came with your MBP may have 10.5 on it. If so, you should be able to do a reinstall from the original disc. If you do a full backup to another volume before you do that, you can recover your data from the backup to your MBP. However, some migrating some of the data (such as Mail messages) may be tricky due to format changes.

  • How to Install DBD::mysql on Mac OSX 10.4.7 SERVER Universal

    I spent 3 days trying to figure out how to install DBD::mysql on OSX 10.4.7 Server Universal on my Mac Pro.
    I didn't think it would be so hard just to get it installed so I could use Movable Type. Yikes!
    Anyway, I wrote up a tutorial on what I did to get it installed. Hopefully it will help you out if you are having problems installing DBD::mysql on Server 10.4.7 Universal with a Mac Pro.
    DISCLAIMER: I cannot say whether or not this will work with any other version of Server or Macintosh. Inside the article below is a link to how to install DBD::mysql on other versions of OSX that may or may not work for you.

    Hopefully this worked for those with Mac Pros!

  • How to install previous version of Mac OS X Server

    I had to downgrade my comp from Maverick back to Snow Leopard. Now I can not install Mac OS  X Server. App store only offering me Maverick version.
    Please advice.
    Cheers,
       Andrei

    Snow Leopard and Snow Leopard Server  both predate the App Store and related software downloads. 
    Snow Leopard Server (OS X Server 10.6) was generally available only via DVD distribution, and there were only specific versions produced; you'd need a version that supports your particular system, or to use the streaming update to get from client Snow Leopard to Snow Leopard Server (if your system requires a later version and can't boot the server DVD directly).
    Your options here are to roll in your backups, or to roll in Snow Leopard Server from either your server-specific DVD distro or from a retail Snow Leopard Server DVD distribution.
    If you no longer have your distribution, you might find a Snow Leopard Server distro from the used market — you'll need a license key to activate it, and you'll want the retail distribution and not the server-specific version — or maybe directly from Apple Support folks.  If you were licensed for Snow Leopard Server and had purchased directly from Apple, then you might be able to call Apple Support and get access to what you had, too.
    It used to be that the per-system DVD disks around that era were grey, and the so-called retail disks — which is what you want, if you don't have your own grey disks for your system — were black.  I don't have any retail Snow Leopard Server DVDs handy to confirm that coloration, though.

  • How to install Photoshop CS2 on (Mac OSX) Yosemite 10.10.2

    is it possible? please help me

    CS2 will not install or run on modern Macs with Intel chips running OS X 10.10 (Yosemite).
    CS2 is an old PowerPC application written for older Macs with PowerPC chips (incompatible with Intel chips) running OS X up to 10.3.8.
    Modern Macs (all have Intel processors) running OS X with Rosetta (which enables Intel chips to run PowerPC software) will run CS2 but Rosetta was discontinued by Apple in OS X 10.7.

  • How to tell what version of Mac OSX?

    Hello;
    I am a person who  works for a university here in the US. Alot of the times, I have macs that dont boot, but I can see the data from the hard drive, via an external dock. Is there a way to tell what version of the OS is from a strictly file level? Without being booted into the OS?
    Thanks,
    Brian

    If the computer's booted into an OS which doesn't support that(not all Mac OS X versions do), open the file /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist in any text editor.

  • Can't install flash player on Mac OSX version 10.4.11

    Hello
    I've spent the morning trying to do this and still no joy. I had flash player already and when trying to use the 4oD website it asked me to download or upgrade flashplayer. I did, the correct version according to my mac version. All goes well and the window message says 'installed successfully'.The only thing I find strange is that just before this message appears I hear the sound of items being put in the 'trash' ... and there they are. Other times the message error -1409 appears. The only icon that appears is the Flash player installer.pkg so not sure whether the application was installed or just the installer!  All web searches prompt me to download the missing plug in, both in safari and mozilla. Java script is definitely enabled on both browsers.
    I have use the uninstall package three times, restarted the computer, downloaded flash player again but no change.
    Forgive my limited use of jargon - this doesn't make any sense to me but I've just spent 3 hours following instructions to no avail.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 which works on OS X 10.4 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

    I am a new Mac user and have just encountered a third part software that does not appear to be supported through Safari; thus I am receiving the following message when I attemt to log onto the system:
    "Our system currently supports the following browser versions: Internet Explorer 9, Internet Explorer 8, and Firefox 4 through Firefox 7. We have detected that you are using an unsupported browser.

    Bypassing this message only yields a Server Runtime error.
    Why don't you just download Firefox, 4 through 7 are supported, or if you insist on using Internet Explorer, use Windows.

  • How to install hard drive into mac pro

    how to install hard drive into mac pro

    I recently bought a new 2TB internal sata drive for my Macpro.
    The installation was easy, but I'm not sure what to do next.
    For one, should I partition the drive?
    My purpose for buying the drive was to use it as my go to drive for Parallels. I used to run my music studio on Windows based machines, and my older project files require a windows OS to recover. I installed Parallels so I can have my studio running Mac and Windows programs which will enable me to access my old project files and take them into my newer Protools system.
    So now, I've installed my new hard drive, but I'm not sure if I should partition it....And!? I'm not sure how to designate that drive for my virtual pc on Parallels. I was able to allocate enough disk space to parallels in order to load my music software, but at this point, I'm not sure if I've just promised it disk space from my original partitioned drive (which only has about 350 GB left on it).
    I would love to be able to make one internal drive available for Parallels, and the other available for the rest of my OSX. When I use Parallels, I still would like to save some extra information on the 2TB drive as well from my dekstop running OSX.
    I hope this makes sense! Your help is much appreciated!

  • Disk utility "You can't use this version of the application Disk Utility with this version of Mac OSX. You have Disk Utility 12.1"

    I use mountain lion 10.8.1
    I try start disk utility it only says: "You can't use this version of the application Disk Utility with this version of Mac OSX. You have Disk Utility 12.1"

    To do a Reinstall of the OS boot to the Recovery HD, Command+r key at startup, then select Reinstall Mac OS X. the files will be downloaded from the internet and then the instal will begin.
    With Mt Lion it is also available from the Mac App store in your Purchases area. You may be able to download it and then nmanually starting the install while booted to Mt Lion.
    But I'd normally use the Recovery HD as that takes the installed OS out of the picture.
