Leopard Partition on Snow Leopard Mac

I am having trouble connecting my MacBook Pro running snow leopard to an international brand of wireless router. After trying everything I can think of, and speaking with a tech guy here in Italy, I have good reason to believe that the router is only compatible with mac os versions up through 10.4 (leopard). I have the installation disk for leopard and I want to partition my hard drive so that I can install leopard on that partition in order to use the internet. I have already used bootcamp to put Windows 7 on my computer. What I want to know is: is it in any way harmful to make another partition for a total of three? And, do I need to format that portion of the disk in any way or do I simply use disk utility to make the partition, boot from that partition with the leopard disk in the slot, and install as normal?

Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking. I have two reasons behind this. First, there was a guy there from a local tech store when I tried to connect the first time at my land lady's apartment. He was running Windows XP and it connected fine. I triple checked the password and everything, so I'm pretty sure it's not something stupid like that. I have Windows 7 installed with bootcamp, and that can't connect either. The second thing is, the directions for connecting to the router are for Mac OS 10.4 and 10.5, they don't have instructions for 10.6. The instructions tell you to set up a PPPoE connection using PPP to get your IPv4 address instead of DHCP. In 10.5 PPP is an option, but not in 10.6. So those two reasons are why I'm thinking it's my operating system. I should mention: when I connected via an ethernet cable directly to the router I was able to connect to the internet. So it's just a wireless problem. That's basically where I'm at. I've tried everything I can think of, looked at everything online I can find pertaining to problems with Alice wireless routers, and every time I come up with nothing except that it must be my operating system. Any insights with the added information?

Two iOS devices and a Snow Leopard Mac: trying to sync photos

My wife’s tech support group, that would be me , is failing in attempts to find an easy way to sync her photos between iPhoto on her Snow Leopard Mac and her two iOS 5 devices using iCloud.
The bottom line is how best to manage photos during a time all devices are not on iCloud.
Two problems:
1. She now has the two iOS devices reporting different numbers of pictures and slightly different albums. Shouldn't they be exactly the same?
2. Is it better to have her sync her Snow Leopard Mac to the iOS devices using iTunes or iPhoto.
Any basic tips appreciated. Including if this is not the correct Community for this post.
Thank you.

You are in the correct community for posting this question. Most people would never even think to ask. That's very thoughtful of you. Anyway .... to the point about syncing photos.
I do not use Photo Stream and use iCloud for very little as well. I still sync with iTunes because that works for me and I am used to doing it that way. I am running Lion on my MacBook so I have everything I need for iCloud, but .... This is how I do it.
Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
Select iPhoto as the folder from which you want to sync.
Click on all of the albums, events, faces, that you want to sync.
Make sure that the Sync Photos heading is checked/selected.
Click on Apply or Sync in the lower right corner of iTunes

I have 3 macs. 2 are Lion, 1 I left Snow leopard so I can access data from my old Quicken Application that doesn't work with Lion. If I move to iCloud, will I no longer be able to access my MobileMe email on the Snow Leopard mac?

What version of word do you have? The TS3938 sounds like it's a PowerPC app- written for an old architecture that is no longer supported in Lion. If this is the case, your files are fine- you just need a newer version of word that will run in Lion in order to open them. The newest version (2011) should be readily available anywhere, and has worked fine for me ever since I switched to Lion on release day....

Program fails in Krb5LoginModule on Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6)

Hi,
FWIW, I've already file a bug report with Apple for this, but maybe you can help me. We have a program that authenticates against Active Directory using Krb5LoginModule. It's been working for years under Mac OS X, Windows, Linux and FreeBSD, but under Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6), using JRE 1.6.0_15 it fails with the following stack trace:
09:16:36,451 ERROR LoginDialog:225 - Password check failed: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: EncryptionKey: Key bytes cannot be null!

              // update keys after pre-auth
              encKeys = EncryptionKey.acquireSecretKeys(
               password, principal.getSalt());Please refer to http://openradar.appspot.com/radar?id=76405 for more details.

Thanks. I'd already set debug=true in the config file (and with map.put in your example). Apple does indeed use /Library/Preferences/edu.mit.Kerberos instead of /etc/krb5.conf. I can see that the settings there are picked up by programs I run in the Terminal, e.g. kinit. I'm not so sure they're picked up by the JDK. I have tried to set permitted_enctypes to just des-cbc-crc, but that didn't seem to have any effect.
As for your code example, the result is exactly the same (as I had expected). krb5.initialize() works fine, but in login(), at exactly the same spot in the source, I get exactly the same stack trace. For reference, it's this block in attemptAuthentication():
669                   // We can't get the key from the keytab so prompt
670                   if (encKeys == null) {

676                       if (isInitiator) {

679                           cred = Credentials.acquireTGT(principal,
680                                                   encKeys, password);
681                           // update keys after pre-auth
682                           encKeys = EncryptionKey.acquireSecretKeys(password,
683                                                           principal.getSalt());
684                       }
685                   }The call in line 673 succeeds, but the one in line 682 fails. The reason is in this method:
    182       public static EncryptionKey[] acquireSecretKeys(char[] password,
183           String salt, boolean pa_exists, int pa_etype, byte[] pa_s2kparams)
184           throws KrbExceptionThere it's this part:
204           EncryptionKey[] encKeys = new EncryptionKey[etypes.length];
205           for (int i = 0; i < etypes.length; i++) {
206               if (EType.isSupported(etypes)) {
207 encKeys[i] = new EncryptionKey(
208 stringToKey(password, salt, pa_s2kparams, etypes[i]),
209 etypes[i], null);
210 }For one of the values in etype[], the stringToKey method returns null. The source code is taken from OpenJDK. It's not available with Sun's JDK, so I haven't been able to step through that part in the debugger.

Migration of files from Snow Leopard Mac to Mavericks Mac

Ethernet cable connection.
Mavericks Mac.
The window: Select the information to transfer - Choose which information you'd like to to transfer to this Mac.
"Checking "My Name" computer", which is the Snow Leopard Mac
Spinning pin wheel, and the Continue button is dim.
Snow Leopard Mac.
The Migration Assistant window: Connect to the other Mac.
"Looking for other computers".
Spinning pin wheel, and the Continue button is dim.
Now my question is, has the Mavericks Mac made a successful connection to the Snow Leopard Mac and because of the 300/350GB of files on it, the Mavericks Mac is taking a long time locating the files that would be transferable? If so, how long should "Checking "My Name" computer" take before I will be able to select what I wish to transfer? And how long would it take to transfer 300/350GB via ethernet cable connection?

Ended up making a connection via Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter.
Restarted SL Mac in target disk mode.
Had to restart Mav Mac and after a bit of fiddling around, a connection was finally made. Info is now being transferred from the SL Mac to the Mav Mac.
Three to four hours to go.

KPT Filters on Leopard (Mac 10.5)

I just upgraded to Leopard (Mac 10.5) and discovered that the Photoshop CS4 KPT filters I use (and depend upon for much of my creative work) have been disabled. Is there some version of KPT filters available that’s compatible with Leopard or Snow Leopard (MAC 10.6) when using Photoshop CS4? The KPT filters still work on Leopard with Photoshop CS2.

schmideg wrote:

Yes and that is the LAST version of Photoshop those plug-ins will EVER run in I suspect...
Photoshop CS3 changed the Photoshop SDK that required a complete re-write of all plug-ins to work in the Mac version of Photoshop CS3. This was required to be able to run on MacIntel machines. Photoshop CS4 continues that rewrite requirement for all plug-ins...
Since the KPT plug-ins are no longer supported (to the best of my knowledge) you'll never be able to use them in newer versions of Photoshop. You might check with Corel software in the event they have taken the old KPT stuff and updated them (the odds are not very good).

Leopard Mac cannot see hard drives on Tiger Macs

Running Leopard 10.5.2 on a Mac Pro 3GHz 4-core w/6GB RAM. I cannot connect to any hard drive / root directory on any Mac on my network running Tiger (10.4.9, .10 or .11) or Panther or OS9. I have 4 Macs on the network but only one running Leopard.
The Mac running LeopardI can connect to the User folder on any Mac running Tiger but cannot see any hard drives' root directory on any Mac running Tiger . No hard drive can be accessed from a User folder even if an alias of the Tiger drive is placed in the ~/User/Public folder.
The reverse works as usual. Any Mac running Tiger can see any hard drive on any networked Mac including Macs running Leopard.
Has anyone else encountered this issue &/or found a workaround? After 2 hours with Apple Tech Support including a system specialist, they confirmed this behavior in Leopard Macs networked to Tiger OS Macs. (Hard drives can be seen between all Macs running Leopard) It was theorized by one of the Apple techs that the behavior was engineered to encourage upgrading all Macs to Leopard. BAD idea! I requested this be reported to Apple engineering.
Any ideas?
TIA!

Download and read the documentation for Carbon Copy Cloner which is handy and what a lot of us have used over the years to clone, migrate and backup or manage drives and storage.
I think 500GB is overkill for boot drive as most of your apps and OS only need less than 150GB, and all of your data and media and home folders can be anywhere you want and not on the boot drive. Also, Apple way over charges for 2TB drives and no reason or value to do so. That is history now but fwiw.
You could I guess setup one 2TB as boot drive easy enough. Then migrate etc. Make that a backup of everything. Then manually or with CCC or other you can clone just what you want to SSD and to the other 2TB drive.
Apps should always go to the boot drive, the SSD in this case, and not to other locations. No benefit putting them elsewhere.
When you migrate are your files on TimeMachine or just standard files and folders? and can't selectively copy? Honestly never found need to use M.A. more than once probably.

Migration Question for New Leopard Mac Mini

Oh my... I have a new Leopard Mac Mini still in the box!
I want to connect it up and migrate my iTunes and iPhoto libraries, etc. to it from my old Mac Mini but here's the thing: my old Mac Mini is a G4, powerpc mac has been through a sort of mini **** lately and at this time will need it's hard disk repaired before I will be able to get it back up to 10.4.11 and Safari 3.0.4. that it had had only last week, before all manner of disasters happened after the last security update. Genius bar made it relatively functional by re-installing the OS but they used 10.4.7 and Safari 2.0.4. to do it! So here is my question: Do I need to get my PPC Mac back up to snuff completely before I can migrate stuff from it to the new Leopard Mac Mini or can I do the migration and get everything nice and lovely on the new machine even though there are still problems on the old Mac Mini?
Here is the problem that the PPC G4 Mac Mini has at this time:
Verifying volume "Macintosh HD"
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Invalid index key
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
Would this pose a problem in the migration?
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much! -Charlotte

The best thing I can say about your post is that at least you realize that Installing Leopard on a broken Tiger and a G4 processor files is exactly how hundreds of the problems are being caused. Too many people have decided that "Apple Just Works" and figure that installing the newest most complex MacOS ever will just work. These people are getting "worked".
Good Luck cleaning up your machine to tip-top shape to 10.4.11, with every update for every program you intend to transfer. Your drive must be squeeky clean, or you will have problems that nobody can explain. I'd recommend removing any applications you don't have to have or that you can reinstall easily with a program like App Zapper and get rid of the G4 system files as much as possible.
