Burning disk from Intel or PPC, is there a difference when booting?

Hi,
I have a Intel iMac and a PPC PowerBook G4.
I have an .iso of my OS X Leopard 10.5 DVD (backup copy) that I want to burn using Disk Utility on a DL DVD, then use it to install Leopard on the PowerBook G4.
I already have done a .iso file from the disk.
OS X Leopard 10.5 is Intel and PPC compatible, from the same disk.
Question:
-If I do the process of burning the .iso to a DL DVD from a Intel iMac, will it only boot from an Intel Machine?
-If I burn the .iso from the PowerBook G4 under 10.4, will it boot on the PowerPC?
Burn ISO’s using Disk Utility
Insert a blank disc.
Start Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app)
From the File menu, choose “Open Disk Image” and select the ISO you want to burn
In the list of volumes, select ISO file.
Click the Burn button and follow the instructions.
Thanks,

The point is not regarding whether I should have a backup of my OS X disk, but rather to understand how boot disk are made with regards to the Intel PowerPC nuance.
This applies also if I wanted a boot disk to run some utilities. I would like to burn it and make sure the disk boot on the correct hardware.
I would like to understand if it matters on which machine (Intel) you burn the disk, if it will be used on the different hardware (PowerPC).

  • Burning disks from MBA using Remote Disk

    Several posts have been made related to being able to burn Optical disks from the MBA using the Remote Disc feature.
    So far all I've been able to perform using Remote Disc is for reading software Installer discs such as the Apple's Mac OS X DVD Installer disc and $MS Office:mac 2004 Installer disc.
    Any attempt to write/burn an optical disc using Remote Disc has been unsuccessful.
    What does work (as you would expect to work) is the Toast 8 Titanium's ToastAnywhere feature. Having Toast 8 installed on both Macs it's possible to launch Toast 8 on the MBA and have access to the optical drive on another Mac with Toast 8 installed. I've successfully done this several times for burning optical discs. I used my MBA and my PowerMac G5's SuperDrive.
    I assume the reverse will work where the PowerMac G5 could access the MBA's $99 SuperDrive for burning optical discs.

    Remote Disk is generally used to share a CD or DVD drive to install things across the network so you don't have to buy a SuperDrive. To get to a shared Windows drive, you have to set up Sharing. Windows uses SMB (Simple Message Block). Search support for documents on sharing with a Windows PC. Many of the Mac 101 and Switching documents discuss this also. If the drive is shared in the Windows on the same subnet (you might have to designate a workgroup on the Mac, don't remember) it will appear in Finder on the Mac.

  • Is there a difference when using of message servers?

    Pardon my ignorance�..
    I am kind of new to Java. I am suppose to write a JMS chat application but I am not particularly sure as to the use of message server( SwiftMQ, JMQ,j2ee server etc). When writing my program, what are the differences in the code when using different message server. It seem that the JMS example�uses j2ee server. Is there are differences in the code when I am using a different message server..
    To phrase it in another way, when writing my JMS chat application, do I need to make any modification in order to running any other message server.
    Could someone enlighten me.
    Regard
    AG

    The J2EE server is the Reference Implementation of the J2EE 1.3 specification. It include the JMS Reference Implementation . Reference Implementations are designed to validate and demonstrate all of the required features of specifications. Generally speaking, they are not designed to be used in a high volume production environment. They may not have all the performance characteristics that a commercial implemenation might have.
    Commercial implemenations of JMS, such as JMQ from I-Planet, are designed for high volume, fast throughput situations. There are a number of these implementations. See http://java.sun.com/products/jms/licensees.html and the links from there for more details.
    So it depends on your need: If you want to do some proof of concept work, the J2EE RI is would be a good place to start. If you need a production quality implementation, you may want to select one of the commercial implementations. However, if you start with one, and want to move to another, this should be fine, as the JMS APIs support code portability.

  • How do install Leopard from intel to ppc by Firewire?

    Can anyone tell me how to install Leopard from my intel macbook to my older ppc? When I try to install from firewire it says that the drive is going to GUID and non-bootable. My DVD drive on the PPC isn't good enough for the Leopard DVD. Any suggestions are appreciated.

    I'm not commenting on whether the type of Mac is compatible with the Leopard install.
    I'll offer suggestion for the firewire install. The objective is to take the Leopard DVD and transfer in some way to a firewire drive to be able to boot a PPC Mac and complete a Leopard install to the PPC Mac.
    How? Take a firewire external drive and partition it in two. One for your data and the other (7.2 gigs) max, for the ability to restore the Leopard DVD to that smaller partition. Once restored you'll be able to boot(using system startup control panel) and install Leopard to a PPC Mac.
    The rule to follow is to use APM ie Apple Partition Map to boot PPC Macs. GUID mapping is for intel Macs. You use options within Disk Utility ti select which way to go. You cannot have both on one firewire hard drive. I use two firewire hard drives: one APM and the other GUID.
    How to setup the small partition? Connect firewire drive to your PPC Mac. Open disk utility. Create your two partitions(remember when you do this the drive is formatted and all data is gone, so backup first). Remember to use option and select APM, although on a PPC Mac it should be by default and ditto if on an intel Mac for GUID. Once the partitioning is complete, select Restore and while using the left hand column(just read the instruction in the disk utility window) and assuming you now have the Leopard DVD on the desktop , drag the install OSX section from the left hand column to "source" and then drag the Leopard small partition from the left hand column to "destination." Wait 20 minutes and you are completed. Now you can boot from the firewire drive and install Leopard to a PPC Mac.

  • How do I copy iPhoto 7.1 Library from Intel to PPC Mac and back

    Hello all
    I apologize for the long first post; but I've been lurking for a while and haven't seen a similar problem. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    I have two Macs - a PowerBook G4 and an Intel Mini. I copied the 6.x Library from the PB to the Mini. The copy was successful - no issues. I upgraded iLife on both machines successfully: both machines opened the 6.x Library and updated it the 7.0.1 Package Library. All was well.
    I updated both machines to iPhoto 7.1. All was well.
    I updated the PB to 7.1.1 + all the recent updates. All was not well! The Library seemed to be corrupted! When I clicked on a thumbnail I would see the photo "zoom" but then I'd see a black window. Clicking again would unzoom and I'd again see all the thumbnails. If I tried to export a photo Preview couldn't view it because it was "corrupt" or should be opened by another application.
    After numerous troubleshooting steps - repairing permissions, deleting preferences, trying to rebuild the thumbnail caches, rebuild the Library, recover lost photos etc I gave up.
    I've wiped the PB clean and installed Leopard and iPhoto 7.1 - not 7.1.1.
    Now I want to copy the iPhoto Library from the Mini (also iPhoto 7.1). I tried copying the package across the network by "Connect to server" in Finder but that produced the same "corrupted" symptoms. (Thumbnails would zoom to black window.)
    So here's the question(s):
    Are there any incompatibilities between Intel/G4 versions of the iPhoto apps or Library Packages?
    What is the best way to manually copy the Library from the Mini to the PB? And back?
    I use the PB on the road and on vacation to capture my 'photos; but I like to display them on my HDTV connected to my Mini - hence my need to periodically copy the Library from the PB to the Mini.

    No.

  • Images resized from Intel to PPC Using Motion 3

    Hey guys, I'm having a reoccurring issue. I work on an animation using still images doing basic ken burns animations with some masks. However when I open the same exact project on my Dual G5 Power Mac which has the same version of Motion. the images get re sized and the mask's are displaced. I originally create the animation on an intel Power Mac. I know it's something with the intel-PPC thing because when I open the same project on my intel Mb Pro it looks the same as the Intel Power Mac. I have all the preferences set to default except turning off the setting to automatically re-size large images in the preferences. Any thoughts?

    if you watch the scale of your objects in the media tab does that change?

  • Question migrating system from Intel to PPC

    I have a quick question, and after doing some searching here I have not come across this. I have a 2GHz Core Duo iMac currently running Leopard, I recently acquired a 2.3GHz Dual Core PPC G5. Now most of my production apps are not native under Intel so run under Rosetta.
    Turns out the G5 is faster than the iMac and therefore I want to Migrate my system from the iMac to the G5. Both have Leopard running but can I use the Apple's Migration Assistant to transfer all the files and settings from the iMac to the G5?
    Thanks in advance for any help

    Hi
    Use this guide:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=435350
    It works both ways, basically eliminating the need to use Migration Assistance, which quite a number of posts here reported "poor results" when they use Migration Assistance to move their data from one platform to another.
    Use the guide and move all your data files across, some preferences and keychain etc. Best you fresh-install all your applications in the G5, instead of moving the apps across, because sometimes some installation put components in multiple locations in your mac
    Cheers

I know for example that nintendo games are region coded and it makes a difference where the main system is from....is the same true with mac software?

  • Time Machine restore from Intel Macbook to G5 PPC 2.0ghz not working?

    Not sure if it has to do with the fact that I'm going from Intel to PPC or if my MacBook had all the latest Apple updates and the PPC does not (no network connect at the moment.) It can see all the backups in my Time Machine drive when running the Time Machine app, but when I go to Restore From Time Machine Backup in the Utilities menu on the Leopard boot, or when I tried to create my user account for the first time in Leopard, it would not see my Time Machine backups on the other drive.
    So am I thinking it's becuse I'm going from Intel to PPC or do I need the latest updates from Apple on my PPC or could it be something else?
    I could just manually copy all the files over, but I'd like to avoid that, as I liked all my settings &tc. Thoughts?
    Message was edited by: Feedmittens

    Welcome to Apple Discussions:
    AFAIK, you can only restore a TM backup onto an identical (or nearly so) computer. I don't think the Intel backup will work at all on a PPC. The drive partitions schemes are incompatible - GUID vs APM and none of the drivers or other hardware-related software components will work, not to mention many of the Intel-only apps.
    The best you can do in install Leopard on the PPC and see if you can migrate from the TM backup.

  • Burning songs from iPhone?

    so, i lost my a few of my purchased itunes songs when my computer crashed and didn't have a back up. but, i do have the songs on my iPhone. Is there a way to burn directly from there?

    Burning refers to making a CD or DVD, you can't burn these from an iPhone or iPod, you can only burn disks from a playlist in iTunes. if you want to copy purchases from the phone, the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

  • Can I turn off the Ken Burns effect from all stills at once?

    I am using iMovie 09.  I am creating a slideshow.  I want to turn off the Ken Burns effect from all stills.  Is there a way to do this in one operation?
    Mary Lou

    Yes. Select one still. Open the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool on the middle Toolbar. Set it to FIT (for letterboxing) or to CROP (for it to fill the screen, but cut off the top and bottom). This will turn off Ken Burns.
    Now select the photo you just adjusted and EDIT/COPY (or Command-C).
    Now click EDIT/SELECT ALL (or Command-A) to select all photos.
    Finally, click EDIT/PASTE ADJUSTMENTS/CROP ADJUSTMENTS to apply to all photos.

  • Restoring disk from Time Machine

    Hello!
    I wiped my disk clean, rebooted using Snow Leopard DVD as a start up disk, and then attempted to restore my disk from my Time Machine backup. Everything seemed to flow just fine... UNTIL the "Transferring Information" window displayed "Transferring your Applications folder...". The blue progress bar has been stuck in the same place for 15 HOURS!!!!! The status still reads "Transferring your Applications folder...". Any insights into HOW I CAN MOVE FROM WHERE I AM TO SUCCESSFULLY RESTORING MY DISK FROM TIME MACHINE, IN A TIME-EFFECTIVE MANNER?
    Oh man, I know someone out there can help! I really appreciate anything you can offer in advance! Thank you!
    All the best,

    No errors.
    "*The Mac OS X installation couldn't be completed.* / If you continue having a problem installing Mac OS X, the installation log may help you diagnose the problem. To save the log, click Save Log. / To start installing Mac OS X again, click Restart. / To start up your computer using a different disc, choose Startup Disk from the Utilities menu."
    There is also a window that is titled "Installer log" will 248 lines that I do not know how to read. Many have phrases like "ReportCrash [179]".
    So it didn't get as far as it did the first time? You may have a bad or damaged SL disc, or a problem reading it. See if you can clean the disc.
    No it didn't. I tried to clean the disc. I have restarted, and retried, four times now, and continue to get the same message.
    If you're anywhere near an Apple Store or Authorized Apple repair location, make an appointment and take your Mac, the disc, and your TM drive. See if they have another disc they'll let you use to see if you can get any farther.
    Is this a Genius Bar appointment you're referring to?
    One line, early on in the report, that jumped out to me, is "You can't save the file 'Autosave Information' because the volume 'Mac OS X Install DVD' is read only."
    Yes, that is a bit irritating, isn't it? I don't know what good it is.
    Well, I guess we all did our best. If there's anyone out there with any new insights, I'd love to hear 'em!!!
    Again, big thanks to everyone!!!

  • Is there a difference in quality between importing into 08 and Final Cut Pr

    When importing video from a DV camera, is there a difference in the quality of the raw video recorded onto the Hard Drive between iMovie 08, iMovie 6 and Final Cut Pro?
    Will I get better quality using Final Cut?
    Thanks
    Kevin

    sorry for 'overwhelming' you with info
    yes, all apps copy the dv-encoded material from miniDV devices 'natively' = lossless import..
    but only iM08 then adds some 'loss' .. nobody knows exactly, what & how.. but you are not able to EXport lossless from within iM08 ..
    example: import dv, export dv = adds blurr and 'magnifies' somehow the same file .. ( ! )
    using iMHD≤6, FCE/P allows you, to export lossless = highest quality possible (except the parts of your project, which need renderning, e.g. titles, transitions...)
    example: import dv, export dv = same quality ...
    so, if _pic quality_ is your major concern, avoid iM08 ..
    if you want fast results and export quality doesn't matter: iM08
    if you want a Library off all imports ever and full integration into AppleTV/, YT.. = iM08
    if you want other codecs than dv and simple use = iM08
    if you want all imports for any future project and high dv quality = FCE/P
    if you want easy to use and high dv quality = iMHD≤6 ..
    if you want other codecs than dv and Hollywood quality = FCP
