2 different mail programs on 2 macs? New Leopard Install

I bought the family 5 pack of Leopard. i installed it on my MBP and on my iMac. The mail program is different.. On my MBP it has the "check Mail" icon to the right/Center with other icons and new stuff..
On my iMAc the check mail icon is alone, far to the left and there is a "Mail Activity" box in the bottom left??
Anyone know why? They both appear to be version 3.0 (912.1/912)
Thanks

When upgrading to Leopard, did you do a clean install or the Archive and Save?
If you did the last one, then it kept the previous settings that you had on Tiger.
You can rearrange theses icons under View>Customize Toolbar.
I hope this will help you.
Regards
Pedro

Open Mail and change it from its preferences. Other email clients may also offer this.

My Mail program has gone south on Leopard on my 27-month old Macbook. I can't send, even though the server details are correct. I tried reinstalling from the install DVD - but no go: no longer compatible, evidently.. What to do?

My Mail program has gone south on Leopard on my 27-month old Macbook. I can't send, even though the server details are correct. I tried reinstalling the Mail program from the install DVD, but no go; apparently that two-year old Mail is no longer compatible with my up-to-date Leopard. I tried deleting the account (hotmail) from Mail and setting up a different account (Yahoo). After loading all the inbox two things happened: first, I still couldn't send, and second, when I closed the Mail window the whole inbox then disappeared and doesn't come back. Although I couldn't reinstall the Mail program from the install DVD, would it still be possible to reinstall the whole system from that DVD? If I do, will I lose files or will there be another problem since that DVD is now over two years old?
Thanks for any suggestions; they will be much appreciated.
P.S. I've just noticed that now I can't change the desktop picture: I go through the motions in Preferences, but the new picture doesn't appear on the desktop. Is there a systemic problem?

You are waiting for an apology to something that happened over a year ago? Really? This is why there is a manager in the store. You have a problem with an employee you speak to the manager. Just like you did on the phone. You would have gotten your apology in July 2013.
Here is the information about your upgrade fee.
Upgrade Fee
It is because when you have a problem you (customers) go running to the store and want to take up the time of the reps to fix it. Other carriers have third parties that deal with technical support and those locations are few and far between. VZW provides this directly through their stores. Also, when you subsidize a $650 and pay $200 VZW has to pay $400. Your monthly service fee doesn't begin to scratch the surface of paying that back. Not with all the money that is put into the network and its improvements.
Then over a year later you get someone on the phone who apologized and offered to waive the fee on your phone and you didn't take it? That offer won't come down the pike again.
One thing you should know is that all these employees are people and as such they sometimes come off cross. I doubt that you speak to everyone so sweetly all the time. Cut them a little slack and put this whole thing behind you after 15 months. Either upgrade with VZW or move on.

I upgraded my iBook G4 from 384MBytes to 640Mbytes and upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. After a few weeks the HDD failed. New Leopard install reports: "insufficient memory". I need Tiger install disks so I can install

I upgraded my iBook G4 from 384MBytes to 640Mbytes and upgraded from Tiger to Leopard.
After a few weeks the HDD failed. I bought a new disk, installed it and trued to install Leopard, but the install fails reporting "insufficient memory".
I assume the installation requires more memory than the OS actually needs to be able to run.
I need Tiger install CD/DVD so I can install Tiger first and then upgrade to Leopard.

Call Apple Customer Support 1-800-767-2775, provide the Serial Number and specifications of the Mac, and for a reasonable fee, they will supply a replacement set of system discs (if available).
The discs will be for the original version of the OS that was pre-installed when the Mac was manufactured.
You need much more RAM than that.

Can we use new Leopard Install Disk on an old Macbook?

I recently purchased a new Macbook which came with pre-installed Leopard. I also have an old Macbook which has Tiger running on it. I tried to upgrade my old machine to the new Leopard using the new disks that came with the new system. But it gives an error "Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer". Does apple prevent such installation or is there something I need to do to avoid this error?

The Leopard which shipped with a MacBook Pro can only install on a MacBook Pro of the same age.
The Tiger that shipped with a MacBook Pro can only be installed on a MacBook Pro of the same age.
The retail Leopard which looks like * will only install on a MacBook Pro older than the release of Leopard labeled on the disk (i.e. if the MacBook Pro shipped before 10.5.1 was released and 10.5.1 is on the label of a disk of that label imaged above, then it will work).
The retail release of Tiger which looks like will not install on ANY MacBook Pro.
If you lost your original installation discs which came with a Tiger pre-installed MacBook Pro call Applecare for replacement discs as they are critical for repairing the MacBook Pro if it should need repair. AppleCare's number is here:
http://www.apple.com/contact/phone_contacts.html
If you are in that scenario having purchased from a non-authorized seller, ask the seller for the disc or to call AppleCare for the discs if they lost them as they must be always sold with the MacBook Pro they shipped with.

Itunes and new Leopard install

Ok, I really wish I could go back a few days and not spend the time or money on Leopard until the powers that be get it running LOL.
Anyway, I started my Leopard install 4 days ago and just got it going (every problem listed).
I just tried to open my Itunes and get the error-
"The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes"
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. I'm getting beyond frustrated with this thing.
Annette

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (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/
If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

Why can't I get my Mail program set up on new itouch 4?

I've been using Mail on my Mac for e-mail for years. Just got an ipod touch 4 and am trying to set up it up to read my mail on it. No luck. Ideas?

What happens when you try?
In the Info pane for the iPod in iTunes do yo have the box checked to sync the mail accounts? That should automatically add the accounts checked to the iPod.
You can also add them manually by going to Settings>Mail>add account.
You can Google for:
setup XX mail on iPhone
for the settings to use with xx being your mail provider.

ISight microphone not working on Brand New Leopard Install Solved

Hi everybody,
I had this problems during last days, and after solving it I want to share it with everybody thinking it may be helpful.
I got ten brand new never used iSights and I wanna to use them on a few MacPro Intel 2xCpu QuadCore 2,8 OS X 10.5.4 to 10.5.7 for videoconferencing using Skype and iChat.
With the video everything was fine but there was any solution to make the built-in iSight microphone works.
After a week googling and talking around I found by myself that the problems was the camera firmware.
Mac OS X 10.5.x doesn't update the iSight firmware so the audio mic doesn't work.
If you connect the camera to an old OS X (I used 10.4.11), open iChat and log in, it will ask you to update the iSight firmware to the latest version.
After that, if you unplug the camera and put it back to OS X 10.5.x the audio mic magically works.
Hoping to help somebody else I give my best regards,
Michele Eustacchi
Rome, Italy

If you running 10.5.X the updater is found here, go to your hard drive\System\Library\CoreServices\iSight Updaters\iSight Updater
For external iSights only.

External drives no longer mounting on other Mac since Leopard Install

I have recently upgraded my old iMac to a Mac Mini with Leopard, however since using my Iomega 320GB External Hard Disk and also my 2GB Kingston USB Stick on my Mini they no longer mount on my old iMac, it's like Leopard has somehow created a volume on them ensuring they won't mount elsewhere anymore.
I still have lots of files on my old iMac that I need to transfer over to my Mini so this is a problem to me.
Any ideas?

* BUMP *
Anyone experienced similar problems?

IPhoto 5 won't publish to .Mac after Leopard install.

Ever since I installed Leopard (clean install) I have been having problems with iPhoto crashing while trying to publish a homepage to my .Mac account. I made sure it was fully patched (OS and iPhoto), repaired permissions, all the obvious stuff. Anyone else having this trouble or have a fix for it?
Regards.

After further review I found there was one more step to reproduce, and a solution.
Using the iPhoto batch change, I always use "short date". Those file names are imported without change to Aperture. iPhoto uses the "/" and apparently Aperture doesn't escape that Unix special character properly when writing or reading to the filesystem. So it gets interpreted as a directory!
BTW Aperture uses "-" as a separator for dates in filenames. So I am now changing the name on import to Aperture and all is well.
Seems weird answering my own question, but I hope this post helps someone with the same problem until Apple fixes this bug.

Idvd with new Leopard install

Hello,
I just upgraded & installed Leopard on my G5, but now when I try to use iDVD i can not get any of the themes to appear in the main screen, all I get is a black screen with the titles of the themes, but not the actual backgrounds.
Has anyone any idea how to correct this?
Any help would be greatly received.
Thanks in advance
Mark

I have the same problem as Mark Taylor3 in that Leopard has been installed on my G5 that was originally built for Tiger, and trying to use iDVD I am faced with a black screen as described above. I have downloaded two support updates for iDVD from the Support page of Apple, namely iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.2 which are aimed to make iDVD work with Leopard. When I try to install the updates (first I tried the 6.0.4 and then the 7.0.2) the installer loads up but then it tells me this: "An eligible iDVD application was not found in the location /Applications" and then I am forced to close the installer and go back to square 1. I am sure I do not have a bootleg version of iDVD (if that is what the error message implies) as it came with the Mac from the Apple Store.
What does the error message actually mean? iDVD is in the applications folder and I am sure I have not moved it from its location or renamed it at all.
Another reason to regret installing Leopard, but saying that the transition on my Macbook has been seamless and iDVD works fine on that - it's just the movie is on the G5 and I cannot transfer the file to the Macbook, I wish I could, but I've tried.

New leopard install

I installed leopard on a macbook that used to have Tiger on it. I erased the hard drive before the new install. I have a 80gb hard drive. After the new install it says I only have 41gb left. I should have quite a bit more left in my opinion what gives? I had to do the install twice the first didnt take. I am not sure what I did wrong. What is taking up so much space? I cant seem to find anything wrong on the HD. Any help would be appreciated .

having same issues with g4 867 one gig of upgraded ram...
no install have tried every other solution, nothing...
must be the ram...
the ram checks out fine when i do a hardware test, quality vendor...
so in actuality why does it not work, if it works after install does not make sense, i have wondered about ram period, i saw no diffrance from 256 to over a gig?
any way trying now to find suitable ram which sure seems like apple should take back my copy of lepard with no hessitation and give me at least a copy of tiger...

New leopard install all itunes gone

I had to reinstall leopard after it froze on the apple screen w the spinning gear. I reinsatalled and now all of my itunes and everything is gone. can i get it back off of my ipod or some other way? desperate. I'm worried ive lost all of my music on my computer.
Paul

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Whenever you install new software, you MUST backup your data. No ifs, ands or buts. Here's how to backup your data*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
The iPod is not a backup. The way music is stored on the iPod does not allow for easy recovery from the iPod, as it is designed to prevent piracy of music. All the software which I've tried to use to recover from the iPod data has failed in one way or another. You'd have better luck trying to use one of the data recovery techniques listed in my backup FAQ from your existing computer.

Burning smell from my Mac after Leopard install

I think I've isolated the smell to a vent on the bottom left hand corner of the iMac. Anyone else get this or have thoughts on how to proceed? I have the Core Dual Intel iMac so I'm pretty sure it's out of warranty by now = (

This is rather ironic, and a coincidence, as I too have had a similar experience. Having been using Tiger for some now, I upgraded to Leopard the other day, however having done so a rather odd burning smell started emanating from the rear vent of Mac. Although not an iMac it is however based on an Intel Core 2 Duo processor (Mac Mini).
It could be that the hardware started failing at the exactly the same time as the upgrade to Leopard . . . . but this is to much of a coincidence.
I was therefore wondering whether there were any changes to the hardware settings as part of the Leopard upgrade, e.g. firmware upgrade, changes to the performance setting, etc,.
