...big trouble after leopard installation. Please help!

I have recently upgraded to Leopard from 10.4. After the installation everything seems normal, the computer boots as usual, I am able to log in and everything seems fine. The first thing I do is to connect my external hard drive [Formac disk 800 XTR] - 800 GB via firewire, because that's the place where my files are.
Then the following message comes up:
"The hard drive "xxx" could not be repaired by the computer. You only get limited access to it. You have to backup your data and reformat the hard drive as soon as possible."
What I notice now is that finder is not working. I can open most other programs and the dashboard but not do anything in them.. I pull out the hard drive and restart the computer, but it's still the same, finder is not working, you can open some programs, the dock and the dashboard are usable. I can't access any disks, which means that i can't reinstall leopard or revert to tiger.
Also, I have never had any trouble with that hard drive before, and just over five seconds it has to be repaired.. It was my secure backup...
I can't open it with my macbook either.
Any suggestions on what to do?
My specs are
iMac G5 (Power PC) 2,0 GHz 2GB ram

Yep, meeting the minimum requirements will get you minimum performance. A machine that runs Tiger great may not be able to keep up with all the new code in Leopard.
CockTail is just another utility program that I keep around. I leave my computers running 24/7 so I don't need to worry about the daily/weekly/monthly maintenance scripts. They used to be called cron tasks, but are are being handled by launchd. They run very early in the morning and if the computer is not running, they may not run very often.
Cocktail can run them manually without you having to resort to terminal commands. It can also give you access to several other utility type settings like enabling journaling, deleting DS Store files, tweaking network transmission settings, showing hidden files, and many other settings that you can work with in Terminal if you want.
Use it sparingly.

  • Big trouble after upgrade 10.10 and 4.0: No sync Calendar and Contacts between devices and users

    Hello,
    it is a big trouble after upgrade 10.10. an 4.0 (i paid 18 € again!):
    After the update no sync between devices an user for calendar and contacts possible. Asking a password?
    No device manger started. Error code -1!; Open Directory Service no started.
    Help?

    I ended up exporting all the outlook data to CSV, creating a new PST and reimporting the data. Calendar sync now works, but I sure do hope I don't have to redo this every week.

  • Keynote disappeared after leopard installation

    I AM HAVING SOME SERIOUS DATA LOSS AND PROGRAM LOCATION PROBLEMS AFTER LEOPARD INSTALLATION.
    I can not find my previous keynote application program , which was part of ilife08, where did go?
    same thing with adobe files , every program is trial version after LEOPARD INSTALLATION.

    Ahh, welcome to the wonderful world of wifi under Leopard. Maybe you weren't aware that tens of thousands of people have been having endless problems with wifi whilst using Leopard .... I just got back from holiday - full signal yet no internet. Connect using ethernet and there it is - working perfectly. The culprit? Apple's very own Airport extreme base station, the new one which I bought thinking my old one was on the blink - nope.
    Meanwhile Apple have not said a word about this in the last 8-10 weeks of utter misery for countless people - not a sausage. Many people are counting on 10.5.2 fixing this. I say don't count on it. Remember to complain to Apple as it is their own software/hardware that is at fault here. Meanwhile, they introduce a ... wifi laptop.... ooh the irony.

  • Software Update Issue-After Leopard Installation

    I installed Leopard yesterday and ran the first software update; everything worked OK; the first software updated included three updates: Remote Desktop Client update; iDVD update and Garageband update.
    Today I tried to run another update and had this issue: while the Software Update is displaying a message saying "New software is available for your computer" there is nothing listed below and the install button is disabled! Then I went to the Software Update Preference and saw a message there saying Last Attempt Failed; error occurred while checking
    Does anyone have the same issue while trying a new software update after Leopard installation?
    I do understand there is another new update issued yesterday by Apple regarding login key
    Grateful for any insight re this problem

    Hi. I had the same problem after doing an erase and install of Leopard yesterday. When I go into Terminal (actually iTerm) and type "softwareupdate -l" (to list all updates), I see:
    XML parser error:
    Encountered unexpected EOF
    Old-style plist parser error:
    Malformed data byte group at line 1; invalid hex
    This appears to be a problem with com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist, the property list for Software Update, but I'm not sure. If I type "find ~/Library/ -name '*plist' -exec plutil {} \;" to check all the plists, however, the Software Update plist checks out as OK. Furthermore, deleting that property list and rebooting to force the OS to create a new plist does not fix the problem. Weird. Now, if I type "sudo softwareupdate -i -a" to install all updates (change "-a" to "-r" to only install recommended updates), it works fine. I still get that same error when I try to run Software Update normally afterwards, but if I go to the preferences, all of the updates are listed under Installed Updates. So, I can get the OS to update automatically, but only through the Terminal. This is very weird, and I hope someone can shed more light on this situation.

  • How do I uninstall snow leopard? please help

    Hey everyone, I am having a lot of troubles with snow leopard and since its not really a BIG difference between leopard, i decided to go back to leopard, so ok.
    I got my 17 inch mac book pro, it came with leopard, and with the snow leopard installation cd, and i installed it, now, my question is, how do i uninstall snow leopard without leaving any trace??
    please help, its really urgent
    I want to go back to leopard

    To do the most in terms of leaving no trace, you will need to do an erase and install. Start from your Leopard DVD by holding down c when starting up. Next, when able, choose your language and stop. Then, using the menus at the top, select Disk Utility; check to see that your volume's partition is GUID; and make it GUID if necessary. Then, erase your drive. Next, quit Disk Utility and continue the install. After the install is complete, insert your Leopard applications disk and install the programs you want. Now, you are done except for restoring you data, apps, and settings using whatever media are available to you.
    As implied, you need to have a plan to get your data and apps back especially. In this regard, it may be less important for you to get your users and settings back.
    If you are not prepared backup-wise, then you can use your Leopard DVD, again by starting up to it, to do an archive and install. Since you want no trace of Snow Leopard, I would not choose the option of preserving user and network settings. After doing an the archive and install, your archives will be in the Previsous Systems folder. [See posts three and five on this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2168159&tstart=25] to get more info on archiving and installing and retrieving things you may want afterward.

  • Canon Mp520 issues on my Mac Leopard, someone please help me!

    Hello fellow Imac-ers.
    I recently re-plugged in my printer after moving into my home and am having some nasty issues. My printer is a Canon PIXMA mp520, and has never given me these sorts of problems and I am completely stumped.
    When I try to go through the Add-Printer process through the System Preferences, it asks me to select a driver. Now, there must be more than 500 of these, and I simply cannot figure which one to use.
    I chose a Canon Pixma 600 drive, and my printer seemed to respond at first. It goes through the process of printing the paper, but I find the page blank after it runs through the printer!
    Does anyone know which driver is compatible with my Mac Leopard OS?
    The printer is a Canon Pixma MP520.
    Please help me!
    Thanks - Zbach

    Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    If you have the MP520 connected directly to your Mac via a USB cable, then you should not have to locate a printer driver in the Print Using menu. The printer should be automatically added to your printer list by the Canon driver software.
    When this doesn't occur then it can indicate a problem with the Canon software or something is stopping the communication between the Mac and the MP520.
    So, assuming by your post this was working previously and all you have done is unplug the printer, move the Mac and then plug the printer back in, has anything changed from the previous setup? Things like, are you using the same USB cable; have you put a USB hub between the printer and the Mac; are you now sharing the printer from a PC or wireless router; are possible causes of your trouble.
    Regarding the use of the MP600 driver, you often cannot use a different model of inkjet driver to the model you have. Doing so will cause the result you are getting. But there are times when you do need to use a CUPS-based driver, such as those provided by Gutenprint. One such time is when you have the printer shared by a Windows computer or non-Apple wireless router. (which are included with the OS). If you are using Mac OS X 10.5 (your tag shows Mac OS X 10.6.2) then you will find that version 5.1.3 is included with your OS. The MP520 was not supported by this version but if you download version 5.2.4 (by clicking on Gutenprint above) and install, you will have the MP520 listed as a supported model.
    Hope this helps you. Please reply if you still need more help.

  • FIX for Canon MP 600 after leopard installation

    I discovered a fix for the Canon MP 600 after the leopard installation. After many challenges and troubleshooting with no positive results I tried something that worked!
    Go to Applications on the HD, choose Utilities, Choose airport Utility.app. It will open and ask if you would like an update to the Airport Extreme Utility. Choose 'update' and follow instructions. I then went into the System Preferences, removed the MP 600 printer, downloaded the MP 600 driver from the Canon Website and installed it. I then rebooted the computer, went back to System Preferences, added in the MP 600 and all was working well.
    I hope this helps someone.

    on the 'rinting' topics, someone suggested throwing away all the drivers and downloading from the websiet. And it worked.
    thanks to all who thought about it

  • Big Problem with KT4V. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

    Hello ewerybody.
    At first I describe you my confiugaration.
    KT4V Mainbord
    AthlonXP 1700+
    256MB DDR 333
    Segate Barracuda 20GB
    CD-ROM LG 52X
    Power Supply 230V
    WIN 98SE
    And now the problem.
    It appears when the procesor is set to XP 1700+. After the temerature of processor rise obove 55 C my computer is shutdown automaticly even if the bios option "critical CPU themerature" is disabled. When it happens something like alarm siren goes off. It is one high and one low sound.
    Another big problem is dramaticaly low ( even 20% - after one hour work ) "system resources". I dont know if it is call like that in english so it is START->Settings->Control Panel->System->"performance".
    Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!

    First thing you might want to do is get a new PSU. Anything under 300W is pretty much going to make for an unstable system for any processor like yours. AMD recommends(if I remember correctly) 300W or better and also read up on this sticky, I think it will help you out.

  • Trouble with Leopard Installation

    I bought a Macbook Pro on Amazon, and it shipped with Leopard, but not installed.
    So I just run up the Leopard Installation DVD, and followed the process.
    The thing is, after a loooong time, my computer was still stuck on the boot screen(grey screen with apple logo, and the rounded animations of loading).
    Now, every time I turn it on, it doest boot, stay stuck on that screen.
    Can anybody help me?

    Disconnect all non-Apple peripherals.
    1. Erase and install 10.4 from the original startup disks.
    2. Restore following the directions here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61802
    3. Upgrade to Leopard from the Leopard installer disk.
    If it still fails, you may need to see if there is a hardware issue with the machine:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303081
    If none shows any problem, but it still won't boot either you got a bad installer disk, or you had your machine shipped with bad RAM, and you should call AppleCare:
    http://www.apple.com/contact/phone_contacts.html
    Call also the store you bought the machine from to find out what time period do you have to return for replacement of a lemon.

  • AFTER UPDATE GREY SCREEN NO SOUND THEN SHUTS DOWN AFTER 30  SECONDS PLEASE HELP

    AFTER UPDATE GREY SCREEN APPEARS WHEN POWER BUTTON PRESSED NO START UP SOUND THEN SHUTS DOWN AFTER 30  SECONDS AND REPEATS ITS SELF PLEASE HELP

    As for now, only thing that helped was an archive and install with preserve user settings. Seems after the reinstall of 10.4. everything that was weird has become normal again. I hope very much this state stays on for a while - or ever!
    A comment to everybody: with problems that are common you get a lot of help from friendly users in here, but if like in my situation things get a bit more uncommon than the usual querks and troubles your bound to go through a whole workflow of tests and algorithms - i did learn some new things but eventually I had to go for the ultimate - the reinstall (of course, erase and install would have been more work.) and it's frustrating not to find out how it came to this problem. I wish I could nail it down to something I did mistakenly - i guess I'll find out next time.
    THANKS THOUGH to those who replied.

    Thank you very much

    Everytime I connect it to blackberry link it says software update available, so I clicked on install, it said downloading update and then nothing happens, the download bar becomes full then nothing changes
    I also tried to reload device software, i got a message saying checking repair software and it stayed like that for 3 hours then the device rebooted but nothing happened at all

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • 80GB iPod Classic looks to have deleted all my songs after iTunes update - please help!!!

    I know there have been topics about this in the past, but I haven't found a solution to my particular case in any of them. So I'm sorry that this topic may seem redundant, but I really need help.
    I have an 80GB iPod classic I bought 5+ years ago. It has been running fine for months. After I downloaded and installed the new iTunes upgrade however, when I connected the iPod it gave me the message "iTunes cannot read the contents of .... iPod. Please restore etc". I really don't want to have to restore it and lose my music, as it is almost full of music, much of which is hard to find. I don't often back up my library (I know, I know), but I have one from a few months ago I can use if I really have to (it'll be better than starting completely over), but I don't know where that would be saved on my computer. My music isn't saved in another folder so simply restoring and putting the music back into my iPod isn't an option either.
    I am running Windows XP home edition if that helps with solutions.
    Please help me, I really don't want to have to start my music collection from scratch.
