10.5 Leopard - can I load two OS's on it?

I just set up my new 20" iMac 2.66Ghz machine, it came loaded with Leopard 10.5.
I find that Leopard will not run my Adobe Photoshop 7.0, that's a known fact (and I know it now).
A friend suggested that I load my old OS 10.3.9 on my machine and run Photoshop 7.0 from that.
Can this be done, can a machine have two OS's loaded on itand have one run older software? I certainly have the room, still have 280GB left on my HD.

Glad to see this topic here. I also would like to go back to Tiger from Leopard. In my case, the HD of my MacBook suddenly died. I purchased a new HD, and it came with Leopard installed. I am not happy that iPhoto is gone, but the larger problem is Backup. Nothing could be transferred from the old HD to the new one. I had done weekly backups (using Backup) to my iDisc, but apparently backups done in Tiger can not be restored in Leopard. I have both install discs. Will it work to install Tiger, doing an Erase & Install, then restore my data, then install Leopard using the option to save what is then on the machine? My Tiger install is v10.4.6, the Leopard install is version 10.5.2.

Can i load two different itunes on the same computer for two different ipods?

Can I load two different itunes on my computer for two different ipods? Or how can I get it so that when I click on itunes, only my songs come up and not my wifes? And the same for her.

Yes. The simplest way is to have separate Windows accounts for each user. When either user runs iTunes, he/she will have a separate library with distinct content, playlists, etc., and can sync individual iDevices as needed.

Can you load two Zen Micros on Windows

Has anyone loaded two Zen Micro MP3 players to their system? I cannot get two to work properly. The new one won't transfer any music files. Can anyone help? Thank you.

The key thing is that the main versions are the same i.e. either .xx or 2.xx.
Even so, the player with .0.03 ought to be updated to ..0 as there are some important bug fixes.

Can I load two Apple Accounts on one iPod?

We have two Apple products (MacPro and iMac 2.0) so we both have iTunes accounts. We share an iPod (Video 30GB 5th gen) and want to put things from both accounts onto the one iPod. Can we? and how???
I know the short answer is to buy another iPod but is there any way to use more than one account to upload into the iPod?
*also can one iPod be used on more than one computer for content? Now we share by our drop folders in the "Share" folder after we have authenticated the iMac iTunes for both our accounts. It works so far but it would be nice to know if we can use both computers to update the one iPod... are we the only ones with this situation?

I had Leopard on may Mac. I upgraded to Mountain Lion using Snow Leopard. I can't use my video with Mountain Lion. Can I load Snow Leopard on an external hard drive so I can use it with my camera?

First, you cannot do this if you have a Boot Camp partition.
Second: Create a new partition.
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a new volume on the drive.
It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss. Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
Third: Install Snow Leopard.
Boot from your Snow Leopard DVD. Follow instructions for installation being sure that before you actually install Snow Leopard you have selected the new partition as your target destination.
Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo
appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading.

Can't load leopard on an external drive

I am having some serious trouble trying to load leopard on an external drive. I have a 1TB drive on my MBP and it is partitioned with Mavericks and Leopard. I am tired of Mavericks hanging up and I am goint to do a clean install like I did on my Mac Pro.
I have a mini 500GB FW drive that I put mavericks on and migrated my data. On the leopard partition I have a few older programs and I want to migrate that partitition to a 320FW external drive. That way I have all my data, can wipe my 1TB drive, partition it, load mavericks and leapord and migrate from the FQW Drives.
When I put in my disc for leopard, Mavericks won't allow me to load it. I tried the Command R function with start up and I can't load leopard on that drive. I get a message saying I can't do that. I have also tried to copy the leopard disk over to the 320 GB FW HD and I get permission errors.
I really need to be able to use leopard for an older program that takes panasonic p2 cards.
Is there anything I am overlooking or missing? Any tricks to make this work?
Thanks!

I hope you mean Snow Leopard:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.

I can't load Snow Leopard on an empty partition

In February I bought a new Mac Book Pro that came loaded with OS X Lion. I want to run Final Cut Pro on it. I bought FCP on ebay but can't load it because it is a PowerPC app and Lion won't load it.
I added a partition to my hard drive to load Snow Leopard, bought SL online and am trying to install SL.
If I try to run the install app from within Lion I get this message: "You can't use this version of the application install Mac OX X.app with this version of Mac OS X." Then in small print this: "You have Install Mac OS X.app 23.1"
If I try to boot from the SL Install DVD I get this message: "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button until it turns off, then press the Power button again." I do this and it always comes back to this same message.
I tried booting to the Recovery HD but can't get that to allow anything either.
Is there a way to get this running? Or have I wasted a lot of money?
Thanks for any help!

If you purchased the current model of MacBook Pro, then to the best of my knowledge it cannot boot from Snow Leopard. You would have to run Snow Leopard as a virtual OS under one of the virtualization solutions (Parallals Desktop, VMWare Fusion, or VirtualBox). There's been debate about whether the desktop version of Snow Leopard is licensed for such use, but the developers of the solutions believe that it does not and hence allow installation of Snow Leopard Server, which is licensed for virtualization, only.

If I purchase a brand new I-mac today do I have to run OS Lion or can I load Snow leopard?

If I purchase a brand new I-mac today do I have to run OS Lion or can I load Snow leopard?

Just faced that question, and the answer should be that you can run SL on the latest iMac.
(Our scenario: Bought 3 iMacs in August. Was surprised -- and relieved! -- to see that they arrived with SL installed on them, and grey system restore disks. One of the machines was DOA. Futzed around with it for 6 weeks trying to get it to work, decided it was dead, drove it 4 hours to the nearest Apple Store. They gave us a new iMac, which when we got it back, turned out to have Lion on it. Popped in one of the three grey restore disks that had come in August, installed SL, it works without any problems.)

In general, you are correct - but also your server does need to be properly configured (and those errors above lead me to think it may not be) to serve the file types that your uploading - but it could be something else entirely. Can you zip up your composition folder, upload it to your Creative Cloud files, set it to share, and then post a link here so I can download it? If you'd rather not share it publicly, can you PM me with a link to your composition files?
Thanks,

Does you machine meet the system requirements?

Is this a retail Snow Leopard disc from Apple, (the one with the white cat on it, not a grey one from someone else, if it is a grey one it will not work as most of those were designed to be machine specific.
This what the retail disk looks like and you can get it here: http://store.apple.com/us/search/snow-leopard-10.6.8#!!
If it does take your original install disc 1 power up the mac and push in the disc holding the OPTION key. This will bring up the start up manager and allow you which disc to start from, select the install disc. After if finishes booting, select your language, click continue. On the next page in the menu bar select utilities/disk utility. select)highlight) your volume (default name Macintosh HD, unless you named it something else) from the left column, under the First Aid tab click verify disk, if it comes back with errors (they will be in red font) then run Repair Disk, you may have to do this more than once (untill it comes up with this disk seems ok in green font)
Quit out and eject the disc.
Then power off and power back on holding the C key, select your language and follow the prompts

What computer operating systems are involved and are you installing from an installation disc or installation files from a download. That can impact the answer. But, the generalization is that Adobe allows you to have the same purchased activated serial number on no more than 2 of your computers. But, you are not supposed to run them at the same time.
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

Yes if your already on OS X Snow Leopard 10.6
See #8 Reinstall Just OS X + Software Update
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
However you should backup files REGARDLESS as anything can happen at anytime.
Most commonly used backup methods
https://discussions.apple.com/community/notebooks/macbook_pro?view=documents
Yes if your upgrading 10.4/10.5 to Snow Leopard 10.6
However if your hard drive is more than 50% full, then it might be slow. Move just your users files temporarily to a external storage drive (not TimeMachine) and reboot, check in Activity Monitor than you have reclaimed drive space, then upgrade to 10.6, then reboot and Software Update to 10.6.8, then return your users files into their respective Music, Pictures, Documents etc., folders.
If you have problems upgrading to 10.6

Optional: For Snow Leopard Speed Freaks
I do NOT advise you upgrade to 10.7 or later on 10.4/10.5 issued hardware due to risks and performance issues, your PPC based programs will not work and require replacement.
