Mac OSX Leopard - Applications Crash constantly - Relaunch ****

Question - why do so many of my applications "quit" on me after launching? Mostly Mail, or iChat, and Safari... What the HECK is going on? I have plenty of memory - I think...

have you done a disk repair and a permissions repair?

Dreamweaver CS3 and Mac OSX Leopard 10.5

I did an Erase and Install of Mac OSX Leopard 10.5... so it's
a clean install.
I installed the Adobe Web Premium software (full, not
upgrade).
Dreamweaver has been CRASH city. Try to merge some tables...
crash. Try to copy past a graphic from one page to another...
crash. Try to connect to a MySQL database.... crash. Trying to work
on a website I must have had 10 crashes in the last hour.
Is there an upgrade needed to CS3 to work correctly on
Leopard?

David thanks so very much!!!
After hours of looking for a solution i went into the
following folders
Mac HD/Users/[user]/Library/Application
Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver 9/Configuration
Mac HD/Users/[user]/Library/Application
Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver 9/configuration-1
removed the files as you said above
MacFileCache[random_numbers].dat
and hey presto, restarted Dreamweaver and it loaded, but for
one time only, then the problem started again where it would tell
me there is an ftp error and cannot connect to the remote host,
then when i clicked ok, it would tell me there as an eror trying to
load an empty document.
My problems started after upgrading leopard MacOSX 10.5.
However, it seems that this problem is persistant everytime i
restart Dreamweaver, do you know how i can permanantly solve this
and why its being caused?
Thanks
Derek

MBP running Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.8 cannot get past login screen even in safe boot

Help! I have a Macbook Pro purchased in 2009, running Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.8 which froze while running Adobe Illustrator. On reboot, it won't allow me to go past the login screen. I tried starting up from the disc, running disk verification and repair and repairing disk permissions, and trying to start up in safe boot, all to no avail. When the login screen comes up it gives the name of my hard drive with a (2) after it, which seems strange. Any suggestions short of reinstalling the system software? I don't want to lose my applications/data!

My 1 year old MBP running OSX has got more sluggish. The little multicolored spinning timer wheel keeps appearing a lot more now, and I hate it! My MBP takes drastically longer to boot when i turn it on as opposed to when I just got it. My web pages take a long time to load. Can anyone help me? WHat can I do to speed up my MBP. I am a novice mac user. Again my mac is getting slower by the day and i dont know how to increase its overall performance. Is there any simple software that can boost overall performance or will I have to reformat my MBP? I have a 200gb HD with 50 gb free and 4 gb of ram.
Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
Launch the Activity Monitor utility. Pull down the list near the top and set it to "All Processes". Click on the "CPU" column heading to put the highest CPU consumers at the top. Also click on the "CPU" tab in the lower part of the window to check the value for "% Idle". If that value is much above zero, check the other categories for signs of resource problems. If nothing there points to a possible problem, launch the Console utility and look for messages that might suggest a problem. If you see messages that you have trouble interpreting, post them here and someone should be able to help.

Hi Bjorne,
Looks like I've got the same issue, only with Flash Player 9 Silent installer on Mac OSX Leopard. Did you find a workaround?

Compatibility issues with Mac OSX Leopard 10.5 and Word 2004 11.6.3 on G5 PowerMac?

Are there compatibility issues with Mac OSX Leopard V. 10.5 and Word 2004 11.6.3 when installed on a PowerMac G5? I understand the Leopard upgrade is okay on the later Intel Mac, but what about my G5 PowerPC Mac?

I do not use Microsoft Excel much but when i do use it it works fine on my G5. my powerbook has excel to but sometimes freezes on the powerbook. but not the G5 so give it a try you can always uninstall it if it does not work good

Thanks so much for your positive reply! Are you a big user of Excel? That's where I've heard people have had trouble, with cells locking up and so on.

My mac osx 10.7.3 constantly disconnects from airport internet.

my mac osx 10.7.3 constantly disconnects from airport internet. I am able to reconnect every time but do this every 10 mins. i went to try and change channel but no airport base stations were found. i am positive it is not the router as all other devices stay connected. cant find any answers to my problem, just tons of others with the same issue!!!!

You can't discount your router just because the other devices work. The first thing I'd recommend doing is restarting the modem and router, then checking the router has the most up-to-date firmware (need to check that owners manual) and then you can check some other things like DNS settings and router channel conflicts with neighbors.
After restarting the router and double checking the firmware is up-to-date then I'd recommend checking the channel your router is on and what your neighbors use. You can download and use iStumbler, this will scan your area. If you are like most users neither you or your neighbors have changed the router channel from the default 5 or 6 channel. Look to see what channels are not being used and reset the router's channel. If that doesn't work then reset the DNS settings from the defaults your ISP uses. If you get to the point where the DNS does need to be reset here are the instructions:
1. System preferences
2. Network
3. Click Advanced
4. Click DNS tab
5. Click + sign
6. Add 208.67.222.222
7. Click + sign
8. Add 208.67.220.220
9. Click OK.
10. Exit System Preferences
If you want more info on the DNS please read CNET's DNS Article and MacWorld's DNS Troubleshooting articles. If all that fails then you can simply toggle the wi-fi on and off on the w-fi menu in the upper right of your screen.

Mac OSX Leopard

My daughter was wondering if she could download Mac OSX Leopard on her HP Laptop that i bought her this christmas. So I was wondering if someone could answer this question.

She honestly only wants it for Photobooth, iChat and Garageband...
She's a musician...
By the way do anyone know of a program similar to either of these?
That's three probrams, not 2 and Photobooth and Garageband come with a new Mac, not with Leopard.
Tell her to buy a new MacBook then she will have all of that and more and will still be able to use all her Windows programs.

How do i install Mac OSX Leopard on other drive

how do i install Mac OSX Leopard on a drive other than my Snow Leopard computer? I need to access old files that will not open with new OS.

Simple. When you get the prompt to install Snow Leopard on your existing computer you will see a button that says "change destination disk..." or words to that effect.
You can select any mounted volume. If that volume already has a later version of OS X installed, you will need to erase it first using Disk Utility.

CF8 on Mac OSX Leopard

Hi All
Got my new Macbook Pro (OSX version 10.5.2), need to setup
CF8.... I tried installing CF8 using the Mac's Apache Web Server
and ran into configuration issues. Ran out of time, so I
uninstalled and tried to install CF8 using CF's built in web server
(and run from port 8500). I got the same result - I couldn't run CF
because it wouldn't start, couldn't bring up
http://127.0.0.1:8500/cfide/administrator/index.cfm
Does anyone have a straight forward path of installing CF8 on
the Mac OSX Leopard? I have uninstalled CF and don't want to move
forward until I get a warm and fuzzy from someone who's already
done this.... anyone?
Thanks in advance,
Rich

Good news! Adobe has released ColdFusion 8.01, which among
many other
fixes and enhancements, supports Leopard!
You can get it by downloading the Developers Edition now.

All Applications Crash Constantly

I have had my MacBook Pro for about probably close to a year now. Most often, whenever I open an application such as Safari, iTunes or Word the application will crash once I try to click on a link, play a song or write a paper. Sometimes once an application crashes once, It will crash instantly if I try to reopen it. I always get those "Application quit unexpectedly" reports where I have the option of ignoring the problem, sending a bug report to Apple or relaunching the program, most of the time I will try to relaunch it, but within seconds it will crash again.
This week is finals week for the quarter, I am working overtime at my job, I need some help. I cannot study, research or write anything for school with my Mac acting this way. It is extremely frustrating to have to rewrite paragraphs in a paper because word keeps crashing.
Please, any help would be most appreciated.

I think you have a serious problem, I hope you have backed up your hard disk. If not, do so immediately!!!! If you do not have an external HD, buy one and back up using carbon copy cloner or superduper. This will take some time. If the backup fails, then you really only have one choice if the HD contains critical material: send it to a service like disksavers, which, while very expensive, is also very good.
If the backup succeeds, then wIth you HD backed up, boot from your system dvd while holding down the "d" key. That will put you in hardware test mode. Run the hardware test and see if you get any error messages.
Error messages = take to Apple store or call Applecare. Do you have Applecare? If not, and you have had the MBP for less than one year, BUY IT NOW!!!
If no error message, then go with diskwarrior or techtool. Techtool pro comes for free with AppleCare, so don't buy it twice.
Good luck!

Mac OSX Leopard 64-bit!!??

Hello all, as you probably already know, the new Mac OSX is 64-bit!!
Is there going to be a 32-bit version?
I no many programs that will not work on the 64-bit version and the company´s wont bring out a update for it.
Autodesks 3ds MAX and MAYA will no longer work!!
Maxon´s Cinema 4D will also not work!!
This needs to be sorted out either by apple or Autodesk/Maxon!
Thanks
TSnail

Why would 32 bits applications wouldn't work on Leopard ?
We're not in Microsoft !
The fact is that Leopard is developed to be fully compatible with 32 bit applications, the proof to this is that when you look in architecture panel in a Xcode project... You know where you choose between Intel or PPC or both architectures ? Well those two options disappeared in Leopard version, now you have the choice between 32 or 64 bit architecture or both !
I don't think Apple would enable the choice between 32 and 64 architecture if the 32 bits was incompatible !
Steve Jobs even presented a comparison of 32 bit and 64 bit application at WWDC Keynote.
I think Leopard is even able to work on 32 bit processors !
So, no worries about compatibility !

Installing Mac OSX Leopard Server 10.6 on a Mac Air

Hi
Im trying to install Mac OSX Server 10.6 on a Mac Air which have Lion developer preview 4 on it, i try to install from
a .dmg file thats stored in the downloads folder when it runs it give me a message "resturt to begin installation" with a
restart button, i click it and then computer restarts and nothing happens why ?
also the server file is big 7 GB so i failed to burn it on dvd or copy to external hard disk and install from there

You will want to use a external double-layer (DL) DVD disk that you've recorded, or use an external disk configured to boot the distro.
Also make a full backup of your boot disk before you load this, as there is no "downgrade" option to get back to whatever version of Snow Leopard client you might be using on the box.
Please (also) read the HT4313 support article.
And for completeness...
This particular configuration isn't supported by Apple.
Mac OS X Server doesn't "like" DHCP addressing, and that can be common on portables.

Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.2

Hello
I need to know in which apple desktop can be use " osx leopard 10.5.2 " . I got this 2 cd" install and restore disc" when I bought mac mini on 2005/06.
Can be these cd be install for example on a Imac or power mac? or they only made to be install into a mini mac?
thanks

Then why bother with Leopard? Go straight to Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again available from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
