Using a Tiger backup on Leopard?

I backed up my hard drive of my MBP (running Tiger) using SuperDuper. I just bought a new iMac and would like all my apps and documents to be copied over. Can I then run SuperDuper on the iMac (Leopard) and "restore"? Or would that mess something up?
Thanks.

Mark, you can copy your apps and docs back over using migration assistant or manually.
However, do NOT use Super Duper when you are in Leopard. It is not compatible with Leopard yet.

  • Booting from external tiger backup in Leopard

    Greetings,
    I recently upgraded from Tiger(10.4.11) to Leopard(10.5.4). Before installing Leopard I made a bootable backup of Tiger on a partitioned Western Digital External Firewire HD (MyBook Home Ed.) using SuperDuper v2.5. I then selected the backup from the startup disc panel in system preferences and clicked restart. It booted from the backup with no problems. Then I did an erase and install of Leopard on my internal drive which also went fine.
    The problem now is that ever since installing Leopard I can't seem to boot from the Firewire drive. The drive doesn't show up in the startup disc panel (though i can see it on my desktop and browse it in finder). I've tried both target disc mode and startup disc from my install cd. Neither of which work. When I restart while holding option I get a mac os9 looking screen with only my internal (Leopard) drive listed. When I click target disc mode from sys prefs I get a firewire symbol that drifts around on a blue screen. When I restart from the install disc and access startup disc from there the external (Tiger) drive is listed but attempting to boot from it yields a brief purple screen with a question mark folder before taking me to the Leopard login screen.
    I've tried installing the Western digital updates for Leopard but to no avail. I'm largely a self-taught mac user so it could be that I'm just not doing something quite right. I'd normally just search the forums, find a similar post, and figure it out from there, but unfortunately, the search feature appears to have been taken down (big bummer). If any additional information is needed(specs/logs/etc.) just let me know. Any insights/guidance/solutions would be most appreciated. Thanks.
    -Peace

    When installing Leopard, was the FireWire drive unplugged? Some curious things happen when external bootable systems or drives are left on during an install of Leopard.
    When you boot, holding down the Option key, I am assuming that the drive does show up in the menu.
    That most likely means that the boot sector of the drive has been modified making it non-bootable.
    I am sure that there are some tools to use to change the boot sector code back. You might contact SuperDuper, since I am sure that your issue is a common one.
    During the early days of Leopard installs, this happened regularly, after which we reminded people installing Leopard to unplug ALL unnecessary peripherals while installing.
    I am sure the Tiger data are intact and all you need to do is what is called "blessing" the drive.

  • Ayone used Intego Personal Backup with Leopard and an Airport Disk

    I have been very successfully using Intego's Personal Backup program with OSX 10.4.10 on an intel iMac and a MacbookPro with an Iomega 750GB hard drive linked to an Airport Extreme. I've set the computers to automatically switch on nightly (via energy saver) 5 minutes before the Intego backup script is set to run. The script runs in the background and automatically logs on to the Airport Disk and selects the backup folder. After finishing the backup the script then quits the program and shutsdown the computer. It's very convenient and neat as it only backsup files that have changed and they are full usable copies rather than incremental backups.
    Has anyone tried this using Leopard? Could this be a potential solution to the lack of Time Machine being used with Airport Disks?

    I've tried it, without success.
    I have a clean install of Leopard. I bought a new Airport Extreme and Iomega UltraMax 1TB drive to go with Leopard, so this part of the setup is all new to me. I have been using Personal Backup, without problem, for ages.
    What I find is that when I select the Airport Disk as the destination drive, the Spinning Beachball of Death starts and I have to Force Quit Personal Backup. A real shame as I really wanted to use the Airport Disk as a common disk between my iMac and iBook, and Personal Backup seemed the obvious way to get the iMac files on to the Airport Disk (the iBook only needs read-only access).
    If anyone gets this going, I'd love to find out how.

  • Getting files from Tiger "Backup" after installing Leopard

    I have just done an
    "Erase and Install" of Leopard 10.5.1 on a MacBook. I had backed up mmay files using the program "Backup" in my older Tiger OS - backed up to both an external drive and to Apple's iDisk.
    Since "backup" is not provided with Leopard (which has Time Machine, I guess) how do I restore old files from the files archived by "Backup"?
    Thanks in advance

    Welcome to the Apple forums:
    Did your backup create a .dmg image? If so, you simply mount it and all the files and folders will be plainly visible. This is what you get if you used disk utility.app
    In addition, Leopard has a backup utility, which, I presume, is Tiger compatible. It's in the applications folder - it has an umbrella on it. Backup.app. This may be the one you used in Tiger.
    Either way, you will easily be able to get your old files back with a minimum of effort.

  • Is it possible to run Tiger in Snow Leopard using Parallels?

    Hey All,
    Anyone know if it is possible to run Tiger in Snow Leopard using Parallels?
    I am using SPSS 16 and it is not compatible with snow leopard. A temporary fix right now if I partitioned my hard drive and installed Leopard on some extra space to run SPSS. This is kind of annoying because I only need Leopard to use SPSS. I would rather emulate it so I can listen to iTunes and check my email in SL.
    What about Panther? I think I even have a copy of Panther to install in Parallels?
    I read somewhere that the EULA restricts OS X from being emulated, which seems odd for Mac users who need to test or use old software. I understand though about emulating OS X on windows machine though. I guess they need to blow off the whole foot than just cut off one toe.
    Thanks for the thoughts!

    From what I can tell, doing this would be, at best, of dubious legality.
    Even so, the popular opinion seems to be that it would take some degree of hacking to pull off a virtual machine running OS X. I think that unless you are willing and able to undertake such a task, your best bet is to stick with a partition running an old version or wait for SPSS to be updated for Snow Leopard.
    Although...... I have Parallels 4 (current version is 5) and it has an option, when setting up a new Virtual Machine, to install Mac OS X server (see image linked below). Perhaps if you could get a copy of the server edition of the OS you would have more success?

    >Step 1. Backup existing data using time machine.
    Time Machine is nice, but you have very little in terms of ability to verify that your data is all backed up.      I find Time Machine is better for the occasional recovery of previously written data at specific times.  A good backup solution that survives an erase and install (there is no clean install in Mac OS X), is a clone, and preferably TWO clones.    See my FAQ*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    Time Machine can work as good as a clone, and in fact I once had to rely on it because my hard drive died.  Thankfully it did recover everything.   But I had my clone just in case it didn't work.     Now I feel more comfortable since clones allow you to boot themselves, and thus prove all the important system information got saved, and not just the user data.
    Clones are also easier to import with the migration assistant.

  • Upgraded from TIGER to SNOW LEOPARD

    Hello,
    How can I uprade from TIGER to SNOW LEOPARD? Do I simply use the upgrade snow leopard to do so? Will that create any instability or issues?
    thank you very much.
    Alex

    Yes, you can upgrade from Tiger to Snow by purchasing the SL DVD. Doing so would only create stability problems if you already have problems, so you should be sure you have a clean system before upgrading. See the following:
    System Upgrade and Installation Procedure
    Basic Caveats
    1. Disconnect all peripherals except the original mouse and keyboard.
    2. Quit all applications if this is not an installation from an Installer DVD.
    3. The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation you may have to erase the hard drive and reinstall from scratch.
    4. Once the installation begins do not use the computer in any way except to reply to dialog prompts or to restart when the installation is completed. This is especially critical during the installation stage known as "Optimizing the System."
    System Update Procedure
    A. Repair hard drive and permissions.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.) After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.2 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X. Note that Disk Warrior will not work on Intel Macs.
    B. Clone your existing system to an external Firewire drive.
    How to Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    2. Select the startup or source volume from the left side list.
    3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    4. Drag the startup or source volume to the Source entry field.
    5. Select the backup or destination volume from the leftside list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    6. Check the box to Erase Destination. Skip this step if you've already formatted the drive.
    7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    C. Decide upon an installation option (This does not apply to Snow Leopard.)
    You have three upgrade options. If you use the Upgrade installation option be sure you have repaired the hard drive and permissions first and made your backup. If you choose the Archive and Install option then you only need to repair the hard drive.
    Neither of the above options will erase the disk. Some of your software may not work with a new system. You will need to upgrade those programs. It would be best to do the upgrades to your software before upgrading to the new system version.
    Personally, I would erase the hard drive and do a fresh install of Snow Leopard then use Migration Assistant to migrate your old Home folder from the backup. This may take some extra time but is less likely to have problems that may be the result of an upgrade installation.

  • Tiger to Snow Leopard upgrade fails  with buffer overflow

    I'm not sure where to proceed with the following situation:
    I have a 17" MB pro with 1GB memory and 22GB free hard drive space. I booted into the installer from the CD and stepped through the prompts without changing any options to the point where the install starts doing it's magic. Shortly after starting, the install will crash complaining about a buffer overflow during/just after the part where it's finding system files.
    I originally tried to do this with only 10GB free, but after the first failure, I did a repair disk using the Disk Utility and removed a bunch of really old files I no longer needed, which brought the available disk space to 22GB, but this did not help anything. At this point, I'm not sure what to do. I use Carbon Copy Cloner as a backup so I can do a full wipe and install, however I would prefer to avoid that as it is a lot of work to get things back.
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
    Error log follows. I cut out a lot of stuff so please let me know if that detail is needed.

    Regarding the need to buy the packaged bundle, I keep seeing folks here and elsewhere claiming that is not necessary.
    That's because they have not read, or concern themselves with the license agreement. Section 2. "Permitted License Uses and Restrictions", section C says on http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/macosx106.pdf
    It's been read forwards, backwards, and upside down. Nowhere on the packaging is there any identification of the $29 (or $49 family pack) version as only suitable as a "Leopard upgrade" version. There are vague mentions about it on Apple's online sales page and in press releases. I've read the license terms thoroughly and the only conclusion that could reasonably be conferred is that the $29 version carries a "single user" license simply because it doesn't say "family pack". There are plenty of reports that it installs over Tiger just fine.
    Granted I've read numerous reports and I installed my copy over Leopard. However - imagine someone who vaguely heard about it, walked into a store and bought a copy, thoroughly looked over the box and the license terms (within the disc), and installed it in good faith over Tiger. There is ZERO, ZIP, NADA on the package that would lead anyone to believe it is anything but a copy with a "SINGLE USER" license where the terms don't preclude installing over Tiger.
    C. Leopard Upgrade Licenses. If you have purchased an Upgrade for Mac OS X Leopard license, then subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you are granted a limited non-exclusive license to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-branded computer as long as that computer has a properly licensed copy of *Mac OS X Leopard already installed on it.*
    The emphasis above is mine.
    While this may not be enforced by a software key, it is there in the license agreement on the PDF included on the CD, when you purchase the under $100 licenses, which are also called "Upgrade" on the store.
    There's an opinion that "Leopard upgrade" only applies to the "Up To Date" versions that require proof of purchase of a recent Mac computer. The reports on those installer discs are that they do in fact check for a valid Leopard installation.
    The following has the most in-depth discussion on the subject of whether or not the license allows for Snow Leopard over Tiger that I've seen so far:
    http://www.mackb.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/mac/26361/the-29-purchase-price-of-Snow-Leop ard
    This is the best description I've heard on it, from someone who identifies himself as "David Empson":
    http://www.mackb.com/Uwe/Threads/Single.aspx/mac/26361?ArtId=1j5mofd.1pw6lllbtpj dwN%25dempson%40actrix.gen.nz
    If someone walks in and buys Snow Leopard, without written notice from
    Apple that they are buying an Upgrade version which requires Leopard,
    and without discussing that point with the seller, the buyer is under no
    obligation to have researched their purchase in advance and know all of
    Apple's publicity statements from three months ago.
    They are buying it in good faith, and the contract (licence) is valid.

  • Tiger to Snow Leopard install and back up help

    Hi all. First off I am a complete noob when it comes to Mac.
    I recently purchased a new imac with Snow Leopard and have been enjoying learning it.
    Out of the blue I had an opportunity to buy a late 2006 Macbook at a great price so I went for it. Its a Intel based Mac using Tiger.
    I want to upgrade this OS to Snow Leopard and need some guidance.
    I have done some research and have determined that I should be able to do this by purchasing the $30 disc rather than the box set with ilife.
    I am a bit confused regarding the back up and install procedure however.
    After buying the macbook I successfully upgraded the hard drive from the 80gig to a 320 gig using the free download of Super Duper to clone the entire drive. There are a lot of YouTube videos and post outlining this and it went without any problem.
    (there doesn't seem to be as much info for upgrading from Tiger to Snow Leopard out there plus I have read some people have had problems)
    So I need a back up and install plan.
    Can I use Super Duper for this? It seems to me that cloning would duplicate everything including the Tiger OS so I would expect that there may be conflicts? Or does Super Duper have another copying function.(it does not have any help files)
    Here is what I have to work with.
    The original 80 gig HD and an enclosure. A new untouched 500 gig external drive.
    Original Tiger install disc's and soon to be purchased Snow Leopard disc.
    FYI the Macbook has no personal files or 3rd party apps that I need to keep. I have only done test uploads of pictures and video to test the all the ports and drives etc.
    I do however need to keep all the included apps like iphoto, tunes etc .especially imovie 06 HD
    A bit off topic but if successful I want to download imovie 11 but still keep 06 HD. Can I use both on the same machine?
    Thanks

    The reason to back up is so when you do the installation of the new system if anything goes wrong you can back out of it. Is your backup drive bootable? Although technically almost all models are if you cloned the internal, some Western Digital enclosures aren't. See if the external shows up as a boot alternative in Startup disks preferences, and actually try booting from it.
    So let's say you have a bootable clone of your internal on the external. You can now just update the OS on the internal using your SL disc. If all goes well it should only replace system files. If there is a problem you can always clone your external back to the internal and start over.
    I don't know about 2 versions of iMovie. I don't use it but in general those more involved applications don't like multiple versions. In particular the new version might want to overwrite the preferences file for the old version, which the old version subsequently would baulk at using. There may also be plugin version issues, etc. I'd post this as a separate question on the iMovie forum.

  • Can't import my mailboxes from Tiger Mail into Leopard

    Hi everyone,
    I bought a new MBP and I'm now in the process of carefully importing my mailboxes from Tiger mail, on my Tiger backup HD, to the new mail program. I have about 20000 messages saved since 1999, sorted by project etc. Each time I select a batch of mailboxes to import, I get a failure message when it's almost done, saying that some messages couldn't be imported. This is very frustrating: my e-mail archive is possible the most important collection of files on the computer. I would hate for it to become messed up/corrupted.
    Thanks for any suggestions!
    Alex

    Try copying the directory ~/Library/Mail/ (the library folder in your home directory) from your old computer to the same location on your Leopard install. I believe the versions of Mail in Tiger and Leopard use the same directory structure, so this should work.

  • Am replacing airport extreme with Time Machine and want to upgrade from Tiger to Snow leopard. Am told I should manually back up into T Machine before OS update but set up utility won't allow anything with OS below 10.5 and I'm 10.4.11. What to do?

    Am replacing airport extreme with Time Machine and want to upgrade from Tiger to Snow leopard. Am told I should manually back up into T Machine before OS update but set up utility won't allow anything with OS below 10.5 and I'm 10.4.11. What to do?

    I think you mean you are replacing your Airport Extreme with a Time Capsule. Time Machine is software integrated into OS X 10.5 & 10.6 used to automatically backup a system to an external HD. Time Capsule is an Airport Extreme that has a hard disk integrated into it that can be used for storage or  as a Time Machine backup drive.
    Because you are currently on Tiger 10.4.x you can backup to a external HD using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner. Having a backup is very wise before doing any major system update. After  you have created the backup and have successfully upgraded to Snow Leopard you can still use the external HD for many things. The strategy I'd recommend is to use the new Time Capsule as your Time Machine backup and then use the external HD as backup using SuperDuper or CCC. Redundant backups is wise because backups can (and do) fail too! In addition both SD and CCC are bootable clones, this is useful in that if your internal HD crashes you can boot from a cloned drive and continue working until the internal HD is replaced.
    Below are some links to some articles from MacWorld, I would recommend reading them where you find a common theme, redundant backups. Backup Plan I, Backup Plan II & Backup Plan III.

  • Restoring Entire System to Earlier Backup with Leopard CPU Drop-in DVD

    After some programs failed in a pernicious manner, I decided to return the entire system to a Time Machine backup made earlier today. Time Machine Help "Recovering your Entire system" seems to be the only relevant help. It says to choose Utilities > Restore System from my Mac OS X Install disc. But I was shipped two Tiger Mac OS X Install Discs and a Leopard CPU Drop-in DVD (updates to Leopard). The Leopard Drop-in does not have Utilities > Restore System and I am reluctant to use either Tiger disc to restore my Leopard system.
    What should I be doing? I hope the answer provides a restore process that is relatively quick because the changes are relatively small.
    Message was edited by: Butterflie14

    Butterflie14,
    The term "delta" doesn't really apply to Time Machine backups. Each backup is a complete "snapshot" of the entire installation. In order to do this without copying over huge amounts of data, Time Machine uses "multi-linked" files in the various backups, all pointing to the same data. That is, with the exception of any new/changed files; these represent the only real data that is transferred during each backup. Only in this sense does "delta" apply.
    Restoring from a backup, at least in the context of "going back to a previous state," is an all-or-nothing proposition. That doesn't mean it has to take a long time. First, the process of erasing a drive takes mere seconds. Second, a Time Machine "Restore" doesn't include a new installation of OS X from the installer disk (which would take a long time), but rather a restoration of the entire system from the backup. As such, it is dependent entirely on the speed of the drive and connecting bus (FW 400, 800, USB, etc.). In the case of my FW 800 drive, a complete "Restore" of a 50 GB system took about 30 minutes.
    I agree, to take this step seems like a waste just to recover from some "pernicious" action of a particular application. If you were a bit more specific about what application we're talking about, and just what it did, perhaps I could offer better advice. You can restore anything that has been backed up by Time Machine, but may have been deleted from your internal disk in the meantime, but you cannot really "un-modify" OS X, if that is what has happened. To do so, you must perform a complete "Restore."

  • Is 10.5.6  stable enough to take Tiger  into the Leopard world

    i run one mac pro with 10.5.5
    i have a quad G5 with TIGER which i would like to upgrade to leopard but am afraid
    mostly use photoshop garageband expression media firefox
    are systems more stable with 10.5.6
    any thing to recommend please

    Some older versions of photoshop have issues with Leopard according to forum posts I've seen.
    CS3/4 work fine.
    Be sure you keep a working Tiger backup on hand in case you have to roll back.
    10.5.6 seems to be fine on my Mac Pro. I had difficulties with 10.5.5 and 10.5.3, but 10.5.6
    has been wonderful so far. For me 10.5.2 and 10.5.4 were excellent also.

  • Problems with Aperture after upgrading from Tiger to Snow Leopard

    Help!  I recently upgraded my IMac operating system from Tiger to Snow Leopard.  Now, I am finding my aperture is not responding the way it used to.  I cannot change the border dimensions; I can't print.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I was told by Apple Technical Support that they will not provide support for Aperture 2 and that I would have to upgrade to Aperture 3.  Is this correct? 

    This is called a Kernel panic.
    See here for possible solutions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3742
    Did you do anything else apart from ungrading OS?
    Did you add memory?
    Bad or not well seated memory modules are often a cause of kernel panic
