Actions compiled in Leopard compatible in Tiger?

Has anyone experienced issues with compatibility between the Leopard Automator and Tiger Automator? I am trying to update my action, but it only seems to work in Leopard. I took the old code that worked in Tiger, compiled it in Leopard, and now it doesn't work in Tiger. Same with the new code I am working on.

Same issue here, even for a very simple action i was asked to create for someone (aka selecting a folder, listing its content into a text file). i know, TIMTOWTDI, but i'd expect that for such simple flow, there wouldn't be any compatibility issue.
Same problem whether saved as an app or as a workflow (the source is Leopard 10.5.1, the destination is Tiger 10.4.11).
Strange...

Recommendations for Leopard compatible dial-up ISP's

I can send text, but am unable to send all but the smallest (less than 50kb) attachments to emails before getting the "Unable to connect to SMTP server'' message. Netzero is the dial-up ISP, and I have used the service for years on a PC with no problems. There were no problems when using Tiger last November. This appeared as a problem after upgrade to Leopard. Do other dial-up ISP's have this problem with Leopard? Recommendations for dial-up ISP's that are Leopard compatible will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Have used Earthlink dialup for years (through Panther, Tiger, Leopard, etc.)
For email, Have both Earthlink account and Gmail account.
When using Apple's Mail, difficulties sending large attachments via Gmail account.
Not so with Earthlink account.
When using either Earthlink account or Gmail account to send an attachment directly (not using Apple's Mail), both send an attachment fine.
Note: Dialup (using an Apple External Modem on a MacBook Pro) worked fine over the years until latest Leopard 10.5.2 upgrade. Computer freezes during dialup (cursor freezes).
This is not an Earthlink issue; see all the forms about internet connection problems (both dial up and wireless) since the 10.5.2 upgrade.
Until the connection issues are sorted out, I would stop at Leopard 10.5.1.

Release Date for Leopard-Compatible ProTools? Help Please!

Hey,
I think this was the best forum to post this in. :$
I have a Yahama Motif 7 Keyboard ( USB & MIDI Outputs ) connected via MIDI to a Digidesign Driver, which is then connected to my computer via FireWire cable. Logic Studio cannot recognize my Digi002 Driver, and I know this is because I lack ProTools AudioCore Recognition ( or something like that :P ) software.
Does anyone know the expected release date of the version of ProTools that will be compatible with Leopard? Would the hassle to reverting my computer back to Tiger be less than waiting for the new ProTools to come out?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

I have just upgraded in a quantum leap from a Quicksilver Mac to a Quad Core 3ghz Mac Pro, and swapped out my MBox 2 for a Factory 003. Despite promises to the contrary, the Mac Pro came without Tiger install disks, which I knew I would need. Just Leopard disks and the beast pre-installed. Looks great but of course my Pro Tools 7.3 install failed. I tried the tips to install that were on the digidesign and Mac forums, and still no joy. Apple Care... well, cared and I am now waiting for OEM Tiger 10.4.8 to arrive so I can do a clean erase and install. Hopefully this will then leave me able to plug in the 003 and start having a great deal of fun Apple Care has sworn blind and on pain of spam that the install will work, and that the firmware has not changed since they were shipping the Mac Pro with both Tiger and Leopard install disks. Here's hoping, 'cos I hear not a whisper about Leopard-compatible Pro Tools...

Can I uninstall leopard and install tiger without problems?

I'm considering purchasing a refurb iMac - I don't want an iMac mind you, but the Mac Pros are simply priced way over my head and I need a new computer!
I can't get a straight answer from Apple about whether it will have Tiger or Leopard on it but because of Adobe's refusal to make CS2 compatible with Leopard, I must use Tiger.
I've been told I can, if I must, uninstall Leopard and reinstall Tiger but I've also been told I'll end up with a host of problems doing that
does anyone know if this will work or not?
Apple is driving me crazy... no one will asnwer that question for me
and why they don't have a mid-range Mac Pro is beyond me but what do I know?
thank you

Hi liliths!
I look at the Apple Store refurbs list on a daily basis.
The longer you wait, the higher the chances that you will receive an iMac that was produced following Oct 26, and was therefore released with Leopard as the MINIMUM version of OS X. Currently, I'd guess that there is VERY little (almost zero) chance of that - today - but more chance as each day passes.
A refurb purchased now will have Tiger on DVD, and Tiger installed. The box will contain an upgrade disc that will install Leopard.
As time goes on, Apple will start to receive Leopard Macs (Leopard on DVD, and installed, but no Tiger) produced after Oct 26 that get shipped back from the stores after buyers have returned them. Those returns to Apple, and Apple's refurbishment process, do not occur overnight. Those Leopard Macs will not be able to run Tiger, or if they will run it, it will not be supported by Apple (no phone support/no warranty until Leopard would be installed).
Refer to this Apple Support article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25497
There are some (lower-priced) Mac Pros sold with the slower processor option, but they are seldom seen on the refurb list, and sell quickly when do appear. One would certainly sell within minutes of being placed on the list this close to the holidays. (A good alternative at a close price w/o sales tax: eBay 250194178376)
There are others besides Apple selling the older production Macs and advertising that they have Tiger on them, not Leopard. (From a third party, I very recently purchased a Mac Pro NIB with Tiger only.) Those units will be available less and less as each day goes by. I have purchased a Leopard family pack for possible future use.
Don't wait too long to make up your mind, or the choice will no longer be available for you:) A mid-priced Mac Pro might be one of the last G5s, so you might want to look at eBay item 120191603098 (I have no affiliation on either eBay item, just a bystander).

As to the question iMac vs Mac Pro or G5 - do you already have a display for a tower? A big factor in the decision.

Hi, I want to downgrade from OSX LEOPARD to OSX TIGER but I have a few questions regarding this. My iMac is originally from 2007 it came preloaded with tiger. I have original install tiger discs version 10.4.10. Is it safe to downgrade or not please help

Hi, I want to downgrade from OSX LEOPARD to OSX TIGER but I have a few questions regarding this. My iMac is originally from Sep 2007 it came preloaded with tiger. I have original install (2) tiger discs version 10.4.10. I want to know if it is safe and what are the necessary steps to do so. Also by downgrading im wondering if a lot of apps nowadays support tiger for example I have photoshop version 5 and 4 these are very important to me. One last question does anyone know of any reliable virus protection for mac that doesnt slow down your computer? because I have read that a lot of them do so. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it! Here are the specs for my iMac
Model Name:
iMac
Model Identifier:
iMac7,1
Processor Name:
Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:
2 GHz
Number Of Processors:
1
Total Number Of Cores:
2

Bus Speed:

Most of the time a perception of general slow performance is the result of installing third party junk alleged to speed up, "clean" or "optimize" your Mac, or to look for viruses that don't exist. Ideally you would know what you installed so you can uninstall it, but if you don't know or aren't sure there are techniques such as Safe Mode and creating a temporary user account to confirm that suspicion.
If you open Activity Monitor it may show a process, or processes, that occupy a lot of your system's time.
Slowness confined solely to web browser activity is often the result of an inexorable progress toward websites that demand ever more processor-intensive tasks. If your slow performance is strictly limited to web browsing, you might try disabling Flash by either uninstalling it, or use utilities such as ClickToFlash that allow you to control what Flash content gets loaded. Flash in itself is not inherently evil, but there is nothing to stop websites or the advertisers who pay for them from writing horrible Flash code that can do everything from hogging 100% of your CPU's time to causing random crashes. You can watch Activity Monitor as in the above to correlate these troublesome web pages with performance degradation.
You are correct; if your computer shipped with Tiger you may certainly revert to it. I forgot that Tiger was shipping on new Macs as recently as five years ago. To downgrade it would be necessary to completely erase your hard disk and boot with the Tiger installation DVD, followed by installing it anew. Such drastic measures are not necessary and you are unlikely to be satisfied with the results anyway.
Assuming your system is free of third party parasitic junk attached to OS X in an ill-conceived attempt to improve upon it, that your hard disk drive is sound and the boot volume has enough free space to work with, by far the best performance-enhancing improvement would be to add more memory. Buy as much as your computer can use and that you can afford. 2 GB is not that much any more.

Does Apple have a web download of Snow-Leopard compatible QuickTIme 7?

I installed Snow LEopard onto my MacBook Pro 15" on Friday at work. I left the Snow Leopard install disc there, and now at home I realize I did not install QuickTime 7 and I need this to be able to work proficiently in FCP.
I keep reading that you can download QuickTime 7 at Apple bit every time I try and install after download it says that it is not compatible with this OS.
Does Apple have a Snow Leopard compatible version of QuickTime 7 available as a download? Or am I screwed and have to wait until Tuesday to get to wotk and install from the disc? Why does it have to be so difficult?
Dan

There's also an installer on the "Utilities" or "additional components" installer on the Snow Leopard disc.

LaserWriter 12/640PS Leopard compatible?

Hi there,
I've been offered a LaserWriter 12/640 PS and want to know if it's Leopard compatible. Also, if anyone has one of these beasts and knows of a third-party compatible toner cartridge, you'd be doing me a favour!
Many thanks in advance for your help.
All the best,
Dan

I don't know if it is compatible, I have been unable to access the page to print multiple copies, set pages to print first or last or select single pages in documents to print. I miss these features. I will go back to 10.4 if I cannot solve this issue. I am forced to print documents singly and in their entirety. Does anyone know of a fix? Otherwise, it prints fine on my ethernet network.

Another dual-SATA Firewire 400/800 case that is Leopard compatible?

Looks like OWC is out of stock for 9 days, and I need to get one sooner than that. I'm look for a non-RAID configuration allowing me to have two 500 GB SATA hard drives which I already have and place them inside a single case that has both Firewire 800 and 400 support? Any recommendations which are Leopard compatible? I'd prefer to spend under $200 USD.

Can A Boot Camp Partition Made With Leopard Live With Tiger?

If I downgrade from Leopard back to Tiger, will my Boot Camp XP partition still be bootable and recognizable?

The short answer is YES. I say that because now all driver updates are offered by apple on the WINDOWS SIDE via Apple Software Update so you shouldn't need Leopard for that. This means that downgrading to Tiger should not affect the Windows partition and its contents.
Be sure to back up everything before downgrading.

Change Leopard to display Tiger's dock.

Dear members:
This is probably a minor issue for most but I have found the new dock on Leopard to be quite annoying. I really prefer to work with the dock in Tiger.
Although I have already upgrade the office computers to Leopard my home computer is still running Tiger. Due to need to install a few applications that are only available for Leopard (not for Tiger) I will have to upgrade my home computer also.
Is there a way (either using Leopard features or third party applications) to change the dock so that it looks the same way it does in Tiger ?
Thank you in advance for your help and responses.
Joseph Chamberlain

you can easily modify the look of the dock in leopard but it won't look exactly like it did in Tiger. see this link for lots of custom docks instructions on how to apply them
http://www.leoparddocks.com/index.php
You can also use [Liteicon|http://www.freemacsoft.net/LiteIcon> or [candybar|http://www.panic.com/candybar> to apply new docks.
if you don't like the 3d dock look you can make it look 2d with [Tinkertool|http://www.bresink.com/osx/TinkerTool.html].

Can't connect to smb webdevice on leopard ... tiger is working

Hi,
I have a problem with my MacBook running Leopard (Update from Tiger). I try to connect to a network storage. I type the uri: smb://192.168.2.1/Musik
Leopard asks me for a username and password... after this dialouge '192.168.2.1' appears in the finder at the 'shared'-sidebar. If I click on it, it shows me the 'Musik' share. If I click on that one it throws an error (-42) and that's it. The entrys stay where they are but I can't access them.
On my iMac (running Tiger) it works without any problems. Whats happening here?
Is this a samba problem? Are there any solutions? Does anybody have similar problems?
Maybe this is problem can be fixed by doing a clean Leopard install instead of running an update? And if so: If I do a clean install by restoring my drives by my latest timemachine backups, doesn't this throw back all the tiger stuff as well?
Thanks for help,
Michael

-36 is a bit generic, but usually means the Windows® machine is denying because of bad Password. Have you tried deleting that particular reference/share in Keychain Access and redoing it?

This machine is not compatible with Tiger OS X 10.4

Ok i'm trying to reformat my macbook pro
( 15 2.0ghz 2 gigs ram 80 gig hardrive, ALL UPDATES, FIRMWARE up to date.) I am not only unable to get it to boot from the DVD/install disk (I"ve tryed holding C/ reinserting the disk, turning it on holding C, booting from CD in startupdisk, holding c and my breath at the same time - pretty much everything. Obviously we've got a problem.
The disk is fine- reads fine, no scratches.
When I try to run OSX install from the DVD it says " Machine not compatible with tiger osx. Upon reading up on this **** it's acting like a firmware issue, however my firmware is up to date. I'm going on 3 hours of just trying to boot from my disk and I have to tell you all, I'm seriously thinking of just loading XP on this thing and calling it a night and an end to macs. I could have reformatted and loaded 4 computers if I were using XP. I appreciate any help, though and I know a lot of you are familiar grief and pain in here, so thanks for the help!

Thanks for all the help - I have wasted countless hours of my life on a computer, but I have learned. Tiger install disks are all for different machines. When I called apple for a replacement tiger disk for my macbook pro, I found out my apple care expired last month and that it would cost $40. As much as I would like to have one - i'm probably won't buy one, I'll look for "other" ways of getting one for sure.
Word to the wise - goto an apple store - they re-install tiger for free. Took me 15 minutes and cost me $0. I don't have a few apps like Ilife, and other meaningless programs that were originally on my macbook pro, but like I told the guy at apple, give me some bad news! I am so sick of macs, I"m still trying to get bootcamp to load XP over 4 days later- the pain is neverending, but thanks for the responses everyone, it's nice to know i'm not the only one in |-|ELL....

Snow Leopard compatible printers/scanners

Here's a great Apple support document that lists Snow Leopard compatible printers and scanners. Of course it's the drivers that need to be Snow Leopard compatible, not the printers themselves.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669

Not having any luck here with the UFRII drivers on the Canon Australia website here to install the IRC4058i printer in my office (btw the download url is http://www.service.canon.com.au/drivers/files/ir/osxufr2v200.zip). After uninstalling the old version and installing the new one, I can only install Canon ipv6 UFRII and not Canon ip UFRII, which is what I need. Hopefully an update will be released soon!

Is Microsoft for Mac leopard compatible?

Thanks for the quick responses...
I was refering to the "MS office suite" of products"; Word, Excel etc...
It is good to hear that they run on Leopard...
Sortof funny that windoze works when some native apps don't
Now it's just a matter of waiting for SuperDuper, then I might consider upgrading.
I have the family pack disk ready to go...
