After Installing Leopard, Stock on Aplication Set up Assistant!!!

Everything went smooth with the install, but after reboot I'm stock with the Aplication Set up assistant, I filled in the blanks and when click on done. The box reappears. It wont let me shut down/restart from the apple menu. Just by holding the power key and same box appears again...Please HELP!!!

I've got to ask this question because in all of the years I have used Apples and Macs, I didn't know you could schedule a start up.
Where in System Preferences do you do that? I didn't see an icon for start ups other than startup disk and didn't find anything there.

After installing Leopard, my G4 will no longer boot in OS 9.22. (Classic still works, but I need it to boot in OS 9.) Any clues about what the Leopard installer might have done to my machine that rendered OS 9 boot unusable? What can I do to fix it?

After installing Leopard, my G4 will no longer boot in OS 9.22.
(Classic still works, but I need it to boot in OS 9.)
Any clues about what the Leopard installer might have done to my machine that rendered OS 9 boot unusable? (And what can I do to fix it?)
Details:
G4 Gigabit Ethernet
Boot ROM version: 4.2.8fl
Accelerator card added: 1.6 MHz
1.5 Gig Ram
I have erased the partition that had Leopard installed on it.
I zapped the pram.
In Open Firmware, I "reset-nvram", and then "reset-all"
I tried to reinstall G4 FW Update 4.2.8, but that must be done when booted from OS 9, and of course, that's the problem: it won't boot into 9.
I tried restarting from 9.2.1 DVD.
I tried restarting from an external firewire drive containing OS 9.2.2.
I tried moving a fresh OS 9.2.2 system folder into an empty partition on an internal hard drive. (Partition was created WITH OS 9 drivers installed.)
All attempts to boot into OS 9 give me the same results - grey screen - no spinning beach ball, no icons or logos - just a blank grey screen.
This machine still works fine in OS 10.3 and 10.4, and it worked fine for many years booting into OS 9, until I installed Leopard, and I haven't been able to boot into OS 9 since then, although I have done considerable research online and tried many things.
I have since learned that this machine does not support Leopard - 10.5. Fine, but how did it break 9.2.2?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks for checking in, BDAQua.
Problem solved.
In the docs that came with my Powerlogix accelerator card, I found this sentence buried:
"If you reset the PRAM, the NVRAM code for OS9 compatibility is cleared, so you will have to boot from the Firmawre Update CD and perform this process again in order to boot in OS9."
The "process" it's referring to is the process of setting up the NVRAM for booting into OS9 from the CD.
Fortunately, I was able to find the disk, and it worked as expected. I can now, once again boot into OS9.
Conclusion: My (unadvised) attempt to load Leopard on this old machine apparently reset the PRAM on the accelerator card and cleared the NVRAM code for OS9 boot. Although I did attempt to reset the NVRAM via Open Firmware, it did not reset it on the accelerator card.
So, thank you BDAQua, for your "Ah yes" . . . that's all I needed to steer me in the right direction.
Gratefully,
tupester

Error Messages After Installing Leopard 2

After installing Leopard from the Install DVD, I used Software Update to update to 10.5.1, and updated QuickTime, etc. I also ran Cocktail, the Leopard edition. The Hard Drive checked out OK. When I ran Repair Permissions in Disk Utility, I got a number of error messages. One set starts like this: "Warning SUID file "System/Library/Private Frameworks/DiskManagement.framework/Versions/A/Resources/DiskManagementTool" has been modified and will not be repaired."
There are a number of messages like this. What shall I do?

Download and install this update, even though you've already updated.

After installing Leopard 10.5.3 Mail no longer works in SSL

After installing Leopard 10.5.3 Mail no longer supports SSL (Port 993) with password authentication. Setting it back to Port 143 seems to be fine. While this is not a problem at home when I am on the road it is a definite problem. Are other users finding similar problems? What are the work arounds (besides changing mail programs)?

No, all certificates are fine.
Three months on 10.5.3? Really? It seems to me that we had 10.5.2 three months ago.
Anyway, it seems that the mail problem may have been a coincidence with the release of 10.5.3 -- mail servers seem to be back up and mail, both SSL and non-SSL seem to be working as if 0730 EDT.
This then becomes more of an Apple problem of letting the community know that mail is down -- and that problems are most likely not related to the update of Leopard. This would be particularly helpful since many of us (very many, I suspect) have the auto update configuration for doing system updates turned on.

Problems hotsynching addresses after installing Leopard

I've had no problem synching my Tungsten E2 before, but after installing Leopard on my MacBook, the addresses are no longer synching either from my Mac to my handheld or vice versa. The calendar seems to be synching just fine. There's nothing wrong with my conduit setting and the messages tell me the synch "has worked" but obviously it hasn't--there's no changes in either address book. I have addresses both on the computer and the handheld now which don't exist on the other, so I don't want to do a complete override.
I called Palm Tech support and plunked down my $14.95 and the woman there could only tell me to check my conduit settings, something I had already done. No help there.
Also, there are some addresses that are more up to date and correct on one device or on the computer and I can't figure out how to compare the two so I can choose the most recent changes to be the "master."
I'd love any help you can give me. the first problem, obviously is more pressing!
Thanks, Laura

Same here with a Centro/ palm phone from Verizon. It's picking up the phone numbers, but leaving nothing for the addresses. It was working fine with synching both addresses and numbers, but it seems like after the latest update, it dropped the addresses. Will be searching other forums for an answer. Using a MacBook Pro with 10.5.5. (Although registering for this forum I could only chose 10.4 as my operating system. Come on Palm... you do know Apple has released a new OS, don't you?)

After installing Leopard went 2 install life 08 computer will not accept DV

I, actually, have two issues occurring since my install but I will list them separately. After installing Leopard on my G4 Powerbook, which was running tiger fine, I went to install iLife 08 which I purchased at the same time and when I put the DVD in the drive it asks me to choose an option to open CD/DVD...usually install disks just pop up and you start the process...any way I chose "finder" and it pulled the iLife install disk up as a blank CD/DVD with options to burn if I wanted. Any idea what setting may have been altered by the Leopard install and how I might be able to fix it? I appreciate any advice any of you may have...oh, I, also, just had a new memory module added at the genius bar yesterday to upgrade my system, so I could install this software.

Starting in safe mode fixed this issue if anyone is having the same issue or related issues. It appears starting is safe mode clears many things up pertaining to Leopard.

My external drive went dead after installing Leopard

Hey guys
I'm very bummed out, my external HD went dead after installing Leopard on my Dual 2.3 GHz PowerPC G5. It was working perfectly fine before, had not a single problem with it but now, I've just lost all my work. I tried Disk Utility from the disc with no luck, it gave tons of errors and it say it couldn't be repaired. Now, it doesn't show up at all. Every single time I connect it I get a message saying the disk I inserted is not readable by the computer. This is a 200GB Maxtor external drive. Is there anything I can do to fix it? Any hardcore Software to retrieve my files? I'd appreciate if anyone can help me with this.
Thank you in advance

Movies are currently a one time download. Because of this, it is your responsibility to back them up so when something like this happens, you can simply copy them over the new drive.
You can't download them again with purchasing once again.

ITunes keeps unexpectedly quitting after installing Leopard

After installing Leopard, iTunes keeps unexpectedly quitting? I've tried recreating the iTunes library with no help.

i had the same problem. finally i found out what was going wrong. it was the digi core audio extension that messed up my itunes. so if you are using pro-tools you should have a look into this possibility.
if not you might want to try and remove any non-apple audio extension and see what happens. don't trash them as you might be able to pin point the problem to only one extension.

Why Mac Help doesn't work after installing Leopard?

After installing Leopard Mac Help shows a untitled window and after few seconds it disappear.

Actually no. I'm working on the same environment before installing Leopard. No firewall...but I'm working from China where a massive Great Firewall is controlled by the government. That case I shouldn't be the only one.

Finder not working after installing Leopard!!!

Hi everyone.
I'm getting a strange Finder behavior on my Intel iMac (not the newest version) after installing Leopard. The thing is, after instalation, when I start the computer, the top bar on the screen starts blinking, and there's no way to open a Finder window. And it stays like that forever! I tried to open Finder from the Dock, but the blue dot of the active programs blinks 3 or 4 times and then disapears. Plus, the only way to access the Apple logo on the corner to switch the computer off or restart it, is by opening one other program from the dock (in this case I have Safari running), because this way the top bar stops blinking.
So, I thought I should try to update Leopard to 10.5.1, and this could solve the problem. But no. It searches for new software updates, tells me that there are new updates, but I cannot see them nor install them!
This is really weird and annoying!
Anyone had this problem? Please, help me.
P.S.: Yes, I've tryed a second install of Leopard. Same thing!

Do NOT install any updates until you resolve the problem, which is unrelated to any updates. Updating a computer that is not working correctly will only make the problems worse, never better.
If this is the second install, was it on an erased HD or did you import your previous programs, etc?
It sounds like you might have some errant 3rd party software running.
Did you run a disk check and file permission verify/repair before installing?
Check your startup program window and remove everything there. Write them down so you can put them back later.

Logging out behaviour after installing leopard

I believe that before I installed the Leopard upgrade when I would log out of one account on my machine and nothing was running, the system would just log off the account without prompting me and return the to the login screen.
After installing Leopard it seems to me that whether or not something is running the OS prompts me if I want to close all applications and continue logging out.
Is this a new behaviour of Leopard or is there something running in the background that I don't know about?
thanks

To be honest, I can't be completely certain how things were in Tiger since I have always used ⌥⇧⌘Q to log out immediately (assuming there aren't any unsaved changes), but the existence of both options suggests to me that the dialogue was always there. Maybe the wording was different, but I don't think the behaviour has changed...

Can't get past setup assistant after installing leopard...

i am having trouble getting past the setup assistant after installing leopard on my other computer which is a 1.25 ghz G4 desktop. Everything seems to be going fine then the setup assistant comes up and i go through the exercise of filling it out and at the end it says click on done and then you can use the computer. unfortunately it goes right back into the setup assistant like i had never gone there before. it is in some kind of loop. would it be wise to reinstall leopard? if so, does it know that it was installed already and rewrite over the first install? or is there something else i may try. i tried resetting the PRAM and some other things recommended but nothing seems to work. any help will be appreciated.
thanks in advance...

mr_magicman,
I can imagine how frustrating this must be for you. It sounds like you went for the (default) Upgrade option.
Okay, how about trying this:
1. With the *OS X 10.5 Install Disk 1* still in the bay, Restart your computer. Without access to menus, you'll have to use the power switch to turn it off. +[Alternatively, if you do have access to menus, select the Restart command (in the Apple menu) — always the preferred method.]+
2. If you're using the power switch method, here, wait about 10 - 15 seconds then depress the power switch again for about 5 full seconds (or until you hear the computer come back to life). +[Alternatively, if you had selected the Restart command in Step 1, the computer will start up again on its own.]+ *Either way, as the computer starts up, press and keep pressing, the Mouse until the disk ejects.* By the way, if you're using a Mighty Mouse with a left and right option, press down on the left side only. Hopefully this will get you out of the loop caused by your Install DVD remaining in the drive.
Finally, to be fair to you, I must tell you that there's a more suitable Forum for your particular kind of problem, viz., *Installation and Setup* (http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1219) I recommend you check out the questions/answers in that Forum in case your question has already been asked and answered.
PS. If you do re-post your question in that Forum, don't forget to mention whether or not you internal hard disk has been backed up.
GOOD LUCK!

Problems connecting to internet after installing Leopard

I have been having problems connecting to the internet after installing Leopard. I have a G5 at my office and use safari and AOL, using a cable modem and router. Everything worked perfect until I installed Leopard. About 3 days after installing Leopard on my G5 I started having problems connecting to the internet. When opening "network" in preferences it tells me I am connected, but I cannot connect. So I have to restart my computer every time in order to connect. Then to top it off, often in the middle of the day I am able to get and send e-mail with AOL, but my Safari does not connect. And even more bizare, if I am connected and sign off my AOL, I lose Safari as well. Brought the G5 into the Mac store and after trying some stuff they told me "it should work now" but ....same problems. So last Monday, I installed Leopard on my Macbookpro which I use at home wirelessly, everything worked well until yesterday when the same issue with my G5 is happening with the macbookpro. No connection, it tells me I am connected, signal is strong, but nothing.....so restart and keep going. What is going on? Anyone else having same problem? Any solutions
Roberto

Roberto,
Is the install of Leopard on the G5 and MacBook Pro an upgrade install or a clean install?
Try some simple maintenance to see if this resolves it:
1. Run Repair Disk Permissions (Disk Utility)
2. Go to Network Utility and go to Ping enter in www.cnn.com and see if the packets are received/sent. This is just to see if you can get to the outside so to speak
3. See if your cable modem manfacturer has a leopard upgrade. Sometimes hardware companies need to upgrade their firmware when new Operating systems come out

Mac mini G4 won't mount music CD after installing Leopard

My Mac mini G4 has some issues mounting music CDs after installing Leopard. I did an "archive and install", everything seems to be working fine, except the CD issue. I have also applied all the relevant updates. I didn't have any issue with CDs in Tiger on this system.
Just after booting, the CD does mount. However, I can't eject it by dragging it to the trash can. I can unmount it only by hitting the eject button on the keyboard.
If I insert the CD again it won't appear on the desktop anymore. It doesn't appear in iTunes either, no matter how often I try.
I noticed someone else in these forums had the exact same problem. The problem was marked as solved, but in fact it wasn't. No information is available in the forum on how to solve it.

This EXACT scenario happens to me. It started the day I upgraded from 10.4.x to Leopard. My workaround is to go into Disk Utility, find the CD (which shows up as unmounted). Click on the CD. Then click the "Mount" button at the top. It works, but I'd like a real solution.

PowerBook G4 will not shut down after installing Leopard

Hi - has anyone found shut down problems (or restart for that matter) after installing Leopard. I've got 30Gb of hard drive free on a Powerbook G4 (3 years old).

No I don't.
Looking around for answers to this one it seems it is a fairly common problem with new Leopard users. One solution (apparently from Apple) was to delete the cache folders in both the user's home folder and in the top-level system folder. I have tried that but no luck yet.
