The way I moved from 10.3.9 to 10.5.8 was to use "ditto -rsrc" and copy the user homes and the data share to an external firewire drive. Then did the same in reverse.
I found the key to data and share permissions to make sure that the users had the same UID in Leopard that they had in Panther.
You can then use "sudo rm -rf" to remove any folder from the relocated homes that you want. Remember if you do choose to remove "~/Library" from each users relocated home, you will be removing any iCal calendars, login.keychains, browser bookmarks, custom screensavers and wallpapers, etc.
Users don't really care if they can login and do any work. But there will be much wailing, gnashing of the teeth, and anxiety, if they lose their bookmarks and wallpaper.

    Are all songs checked in your playlist?

  • With all of the applications available, what other applications recommended to use along with Captivate 8.

    With all of the applications available, what other applications recommended to use along with Captivate 8.  I do not heed to install all of them, just what I need.

    Personally I use both Photoshop and Audition (both in CC) a lot when using Captivate 8. There is roundtripping possible with those two Adobe applications. If you have a CC subscription try it out! And when needing HTML5 output, you can insert published Edge Animate files, to replace former Flash animations. As you can see in CP8, Edge Inspect can be used to test the output on mobile devices without having to publish or to deploy on a webserver.

  • After reinstalling, a blank pop-up appears in the middle of the page, which has no copy and no way to delete, but it prevents taking any action on page.

    I had to restore my hard drive to a date two weeks earlier to eliminate an issue I was having. For some reason, this buggered my Firefox browser. I uninstalled it then reinstalled it (several times, now). It appears the reinstall is successful; however, when I open Firefox, a pop-up appears in the center of my homepage. It is blank except for a tiny box that I can check and uncheck and a grey bar in its center that doesn't seem to do much of anything. There is no copy in the pop-up. There doesn't appear to be any way to close it and it prevents me from from taking any other action including closing the page. Any clue what this pop-up is and how I might eliminate it? It doesn't appear with any other of my browsers.

    I can't take any action once my Foxfire homepage is open and the mystery pop-up appears, which is immediately. I have to restart my PC to close Firefox because the pop-up prevents my doing anything connected to Foxfire. I can open other browsers or do other functions, such as open documents, but Firefox is frozen on the homepage. And, although I can move the cursor around the page, I can't click on anything.

  • When I try to open any kind of links, the page first shows me "the document has moved" and then goes on to some advertisement page.

    When I follow any kind of links or try to open something in another window or new tab, the browser first shows the white page with text "the document has moved", and then moves to advertisement page of some sort. Usually in the small box where the page description is it says "Jump". I don't know how to disable it, it is really irritating.

    Sounds like Malware.

  • I named my external hard drive "Time Machine", and now it no longer appears on my desktop.

    I attached an external hard drive to my iMac, renamed it "Time Machine", and then set it up as the backup drive for Time Machine.  Now the drive no longer shows up on my desktop, tho the Time Machine backup appears to be working. Is it not supposed to show up on the desk?

    Hello:
    When you designate an external drive as the one to use for Time Machine backups, that volume will be named "Time Machine" and a blue Time Machine icon will appear on your desktop.  In my own case, I have a two partition external disk - one for Time Machine, and one for making bootable clones.
    I never name my external HDs - only the volume(s) contained on them.  If that is what you did, get rid of (or change) the drive name.

  • TS4135 I have an iMac that displays these same symptoms when waking up from sleeping, but I am logged in?  I am on Mountain Lion with all updates applied.  Just started happening three days ago.

    My iMac displays a white screen as well upon waking up, but I do NOT have it logging out when going to sleep.  I too have to color in the screen with the mouse to see anything again.  Is there a fix for this?

    Ok, I've done everything suggested above except for running the Disk Utility from the recovery partition, as I will have more time to spend on it tomorrow and that's something I'm too scared to try in a rush....!
    I've made a screenshot of the energy saving settings changed to your suggestion, could you let me know if that's what you meant?
    I really appreciate your help by the way

    Keep in mind that this will delete all previously uploaded music installed by using *ughhh* itunes.  I love it.  Now I just drag and drop all music to my Pre drive.  Hope this helps.  It is nice to have a fresh start without having to wipe the entire phone.  Good luck out there.
    This worked brilliantly!!! Thank you so much!! Pre is set......only issue now is that fact that half my music in iTunes is in a Protected AAC file format that the Pre can't play

    Apps are in iTunes, are not part of the backup and when you updated the phone, you need to sync that content back.

  • Any image modifications cause multi-colored bars to appear

    This one is as strange as they come. . .
    Taking any image (jpg, tiff) and using the smudge tool on it or resizing it will cause repeating multi-colored bars to start appearing inside of the image.
    I thought maybe it was just a video card/drawing problem, but it actually gets saved inside of the image.
    It's kinda strange, because my MPEG playback has been doing something similar, but I can kill that by reducing video card acceleration. This doesn't go away though.
    I've uninstalled, reinstalled -- even upgraded to CS2. Problem still exists. Could it actually be my video card drivers? (nvidia nforce from Oct 7th, 2007)

    Problem solved, though it's hard to believe.
    This problem has actually been going on for at least 2 years on this computer, and finally just now the right clue came in as a BSOD, naming my sound card driver as the culprit.
    Sure enough, I updated my Nvidia sound card driver and I've been running smooth now for a week without a hiccup from this problem.
    I can only theorize that the sound card driver was overwriting memory space belonging to the video card driver . . . or something to that effect.

  • Since upgrading to OS X 10.8.2 a few days ago, Safari will suddenly zoom in on web pages (happens on multiple sites) when I scroll or move the mouse -- any one know why and what to do about it? Thanks.

    Since upgrading to OS X 10.8.2 a few days ago, Safari will suddenly zoom in on web pages (happens on multiple sites) when I scroll or move the mouse -- any one know why and what to do about it? Thanks!

    It really isn't a well thought out 'gesture' when a normal scroll action can result in an unwanted zoom but disabling SmartZoom wasn't an option for me—one of those with eyes that tire easily when reading very small text on a 27" display.
    For a while I used command-+ and command-'-' to read small text but that isn't supported in some apps and for Safari it often leaves the browser in an less than perfect state when moving to the next page.  I also tried option scroll to zoom the whole display but that was not desirable, either.
    I finally settled on leaving SmartZoom enabled and remembering to double tap with one finger whenever the undesired zoom happens. It happens so often that the double tap is almost a reflex action for me.

  • Help I just installed the latest update on my IPhone4 and now I can't open any of my stored podcasts. When I hit the podcast icon, the screen goes white for a second and the goes back to the opening page with all the icons. What happened?

    Help! I just installed the latest update on my IPhone 4 and now I can't access my podcasts. When I hit the podcast I on, the screen goes blank for a second and then opens to the home screen with all my icons. What happened?

    Try a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously you see the Apple logo and then release.
