Can I install OS X Server for Leopard on Macs running non-server Tiger?

I need to install OS X Server on a small business network of 5 Macs and 2 pc's. I need to run Mac software on the pc's using Aqua and need to use the pc's to run software that won't run on the Macs.
All my Macs run 10.4.11 (non-server), so what I need to know is will I be able to buy and install OS X Server (Leopard)? Or do I need to buy OS X Server (Tiger)?
And if I can use the Leopard Server version, can I also install it on my Macs at home that don't connect to the work network?
Thanks, Ted

I'm a little confused here.
I need to run Mac software on the pc's using Aqua
Running Mac OS X Server on the Macs won't help here. You can't run Mac software on a PC. The best you can do is screen-share (so the PC can run software that lets it see and control the Mac's screen), but you don't need Mac OS X Server for that.
All my Macs run 10.4.11 (non-server), so what I need to know is will I be able to buy and install OS X Server (Leopard)? Or do I need to buy OS X Server (Tiger)?
You can't but Mac OS X Server 10.4 at all now. It's been EOL for a year or more (I forget when Leopard was released now). Your only option is to buy Leopard Server.
As to whether you can install Leopard Server, that depends on the hardware you're running. If it meets (or exceeds) the minimum specifications for Mac OS X Server then yes, you can install it. Whether it will solve your goals depends on quite what those goals are.
And if I can use the Leopard Server version, can I also install it on my Macs at home that don't connect to the work network?
You can install it on any system you're licensed for. Since each copy of Mac OS X Server is licensed for a single system only, you'll need to buy additional licenses for your machine(s) at home.

Actually the best place is the web site for the printer. You'll also need the model, but there are still some OS9 drivers out there.
You must supply the printer make and model for people here to help further.

Can I Install OS X 10.5 Leopard on my Mac?

I use a PowerPC G4 (QuickSilver 2002) computer. Can I install OS X 10.5 Leopard on my Mac?
* Processor: Dual 1 GHz PowerPC G4
2 MB L3 cache per processor
* Memory: 1.5 GB SDRAM

It should work OK with 10.5.8 then.
If you don't know the model, find the Serial# & use it on one of these sites, but don't post the Serial# here...

Hi,
Try to use Chkdsk tool to check if it could fix this issue:
1.
Type cmd in the Start Search box, right-click cmd.exe in the Programs list, and then click Run as administrator.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click Continue.
2.
At a command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
Chkdsk /R X:
In this command, X: is a placeholder that represents the drive letter of the volume that you want to check.
3.
Press Y when you are prompted to check the disk the next time that the system restarts.
4.
Close all applications, and then restart.
Meanwhile, please try to download Windows 7 SP1 package and then install it to check if this issue persists.
Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (KB976932)
Hope it helps.

I can't install the Flash plugin for Firefox

I can't install the Flash plugin for Firefox (Firefox version 1.5.0). I've tried to install the latest version 9.0.16.0 from the Adobe Download Centre. There are no error messages or warnings during the installation.
The Flash plugin for IE is working fine.
I've tried everything, uninstall the pre-installed version (7), re-install FireFox, uninstall all plugins, download and install everything over and over..... still the same problem.

Hi Stephan,
Thans for your reaction and suggestion.
I've cleaned up the register, deleted all the macromedia and flash keys.
Restarted, installed Flash plugin again, IE is working fine (again) but Firefox (and Opera!) only showing the message "Flash plugin needed" when I try to display a site with Flash content.
I have the same combination working on several desktops, does it have anything to do with te pre-installed software from Toshiba?
I have two Toshiba Sattelite's P100 with both exactly the same problems! Flash on IE working, Opera an Firefox NOT.

How can i install more korean fonts for mac book pro

Hello
I recently purchased mac book pro.
Where and how can i install more korean fonts for mac book pro?
thanks guys.

Do you really need more? OS X comes with quite a few already: Gungseo, HeadlineA, Nanum Brush, Nanum Gothic, NanumMyungjo, Nanum Pen, PCMyungjo, PilGi, AppleGothic, AppleMyungjo
If so, just do a google search for korean unicode fonts.

It appears that you have apps that need updating that were pruchased from more than one account
- Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into your account.
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

Check your Network control panel and turn off Auto-Proxy setting.
This is one of the top #4 "how can they do this' pet-peeve errors.
The other is the often slow 8 hrs to download 600MB even on 10Mb+ cable.
Another, 'the drive cannot be partitioned because there isn't enough contiguous unfragemented free space; some files are locked and cannot be moved."
If auto proxy isn't it, router/modem and DNS settings.

Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
           terms apply.
Actually, you cannot download Snow Leopard. You downloaded a Snow Leopard updater.
