Can new windows drivers be installed without updating to leopard?

I was wondering if the new windows drivers on the leopard install disc can be installed in windows without upgrading tiger on the other partition?
I want to upgrade tiger to leopard but want to wait till i have more time to complete the process, but i do want to check out the new windows drivers now.

How would you extract the drivers from the Leopard disk?
Normally, you create/install the Boot Camp assistant, which extracts the drivers.
Anyone with Leopard installed can always supply anyone else with a new drivers disk, and, I would expect in time that the Windows system itself would be capable of obtaining the drivers. After all the main problem is that manufacturers have not yet written drivers for Windows on a Mac. Once the Mac hardware becomes "standard" there should be no problem using Windows update directly to get new drivers.
This is what I am expecting to happen with my 64-bit Vista install on this box.

How can I install new windows on NB200-10z without a CD drive?

Hi,
I have a mini laptop "Toshiba nb200-10z" and it doesnt startup anymore.
I would like to do a recovery, but it also doesnt work.
I know there is a shortcut like press the 0 button when the laptop is starting up.
With this shortcut you can start the recovery to reset the software.
But when I press the 0 button it gives me an error.
So I think the recovery drive/partition is lost.
How can I install new windows on this minilaptop without a CD drive?

I have found a much easier way to install Windows 7 from a USB Flash drive. Unlike other methods where you have to write complicated commands, this method can be completed even by those who have very little computer background.
The whole process takes only two steps, run UNetbootin, load the Windows 7 ISO file, and finally restart your computer.
Before you begin, you will require the following:
USB Flash Drive (4GB minimum)
Windows 7 ISO Image file
UNetbootin
Note: If UNetbootin doesnt work, try out the Microsofts official tool called Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool.
Now insert the USB drive, run UNetbootin, and select Disk Image as ISO. Browse your local drive for Windows 7 ISO that you downloaded and click Open. Now Select Type as USB and choose the drive. Once done, it will look like a bit similar to the screenshot shown below.
Click OK and it will begin extracting all installation files to the USB drive. The whole process will take some time (10-15 minutes), so have patience.
Once the installation is complete, reboot your computer. Now while your system is starting up press the appropriate button (usually F1, F2, F12, ESC, Backspace, or Escape) to bring up Bios Boot Menu.
Change the startup order to boot USB by default, usually you will have to press F6 to move the selected USB device on top. Once done, save changes and restart the system.

Need to know your Mac model. If it's a PowerPC, the max OS is Leopard 10.5.x. If it's an Intel procesor, you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (for $29) & later to Lion.
*Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements*
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store *but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753)*.

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Installation and Setup Guide

After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update

HT1338 can I upgrade straight to lion without purchasing snow leopard if I am running on OS 10.5.8

can I upgrade straight to lion without purchasing snow leopard if I am running on OS 10.5.8?

Well, yes, if your Mac meets the requirements, you can afford to erase the drive completely, & don't mind paying $10 more for Lion on a Flash stick than Snow Leopard/10.6 on DVD & Lion/10.7 download from the App Store is.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
It looks like they do still have it:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
Lion/101.7 System requirements
    •    x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
    •    At least 2GB of memory, (I say 4GB)
    •    Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
    •    At least 4GB of disk space for downloading, (I say 40GB at least)
Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.
Or, if you can afford to erase everything & spend $10 more than the 10.6 Disc & 10.7 from the App Store...
Or if you can erase your disk...

Ever since I installed the update of Leopard 10.5.2 I cannot open itunes!!

Ever since I installed the update of Leopard 10.5.2 I cannot open itunes!!
I get a message that says:"The itunes library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file."
I did do a permissions fix with the disk utility and same problem!
Any suggestions???
I think I might be demanding my money back for this Leopard!

Below where you see the Read and Write permissions on that folder there is a little triangle next to the word Details. Scroll down a bit and you'll see a tab to click to Apply to Enclosed Items. If it says you have read and write on the main folder, click the Apply button to make sure that all folders inside the main folder also have both Read and Write permission.

Creative cloud app kills windows 8 on install or update.

I searched in vain for any support or way to contact support from Adobe. Every link just goes round in circles and ends up with the forums. So as far as I can tell, Adobe offer zero support for the creative cloud product I have just purchased.
Anyway, just in case that any Adobe staff read these forums, and want to take note of major problems, the adobe cloud application (dont know what it is or does), which is required for some reason in order to install lightroom and photoshop (unfortunately), always crashes, and takes down windows 8.1 with it.
I always disable it in startup, and I dont want it to slow down my boot up for zero gain.
Today I realised that windows 8 has no desktop pdf reader. So I thought I would fire up the adobe creative app thing, to see if there was an option to dowload an adobe desktop product for reading pdf.
When it launched, it said I had to update. It updated for a bit, then "blue screened" windows. Not the old blue screen we know and love from windows 3.1 to windows 7, but a new blue screen reserved only for windows 8. Basically, the updater simply kills all your running apps, no matter if you were in the middle of working on something, and gives a compeetly blue screen, except I see a small minimised Skype bar in the bottom left. All my desktop items - gone. Windows bar at the bottom - gon. Start menu - gone. Windows start button on the keyboard? Dead.
So the only option is to pull the power plug, which can seriously dammage the HD etc.
Nice one Adobe. This is why I hate installing the bug filled bloatware which too many companies fill your machine.
I dont expect any help, but at least I tried to give feedback.

Just to confirm: both, after installing, and after updating the "Adobe Creative App", everything on the desktop disappears, including the desktop background, and you are left with a solid blue screen (very similar to a blue screen of death, just without the error message), and a small window with skype compressed into the smallest possible area (just he minimize button and the word skype) in the bottom left. I waited at least 5 minutes. This is on a machine with a new and empty Curcial M550 SSD (very very fast), and a core i7 quad core 2.7GHz. No key board action has any effect, except Ctrl-Alt-del does eventually allow you to shut down (which I could not find the first time I had this problem so had to litterally pull the power out of the back).
It is a brand new machine with nothing but a fresh install of windows 8 from the Lenovo Factory installation disks, and utilities like skype, chrome, firefox, tortoise git, and java installed.
I have now uninstalled the creative clound app, as I cant afford to have it damage my laptop or windows installation.

I can't install any updates for Leopard.

Hi,
I've just upgraded my G4 1.25Ghz, (2GB RAM) to Leopard 10.5 from the DVD from 10.4.1. It installed ok although it hung at the end of installation on the System Preferences. I had to shut it down and start it up again. It started no problem so I assumed all was ok. I then tried to update. I used Software Updater and it recommended that I download and install 10.5.8. I tried this but it kept hanging when I hit the install button on the updater. In force quit it kept saying the updater was not responding. Upon reading quite a few articles on the subject, i tried to download it directly, I did but it still wouldn't work. I read that maybe I needed earlier updates first do I tried 10.5.6 combo with no luck and then I tried 10.5.1 but it still doesn't work either. I lets me start to install the update but it hangs every time I hit install and says the program is not responding.
Have I not upgraded to Loepard sucessfully, ie do need to uninstall it and re-install it (how) or is something in the install manager that isn't working.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I booted from the dvd and it went straight ahead and installed the whole thing again, and as far as i see it overwrote the previous version as I still have the same amount of memory available. The only thing was that it hung on the finder after the restart. I force quit and it worked fine. I went to upgrade and as I had downloaded early versions of 10.5 upgrades I started with 10.5.1 - it loaded fine. I shut down the mac and after a while I started it again and tried to upgrade to 10.5.6 combo that I had previously downloaded. The installer worked fine until it asked me for the administrators user name and password. I typed them in but it keeps saying that they are invalid. They are the correct ones. Also previously when it asked, it only asked for the administrator password and it automatically filled in my account name. I have been looking at other posts with similar problems but nothing solved. I tried software update and it immediately asked for the user name and password as usual and I cannot get any further with it. Should I continue this in a new post or can someone help.
Thanks.

New Windows Server 2012 install won't boot after installing Hyper-V role.

I have just installed Windows Server 2012 onto a Dell PowerEdge R310. Everything worked okay until I installed the Hyper-V role. After that, when it tries to boot, I get "Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We're just collecting
some error info, and then we'll restart for you. (0% complete)" for a split second, then the system reboots into Automatic Repair mode.
In Automatic Repair mode, my options are Refresh your system (which tells me the drive that Windows is on is locked), Reset your system (which tells me there is no partition), and Automatically Fix your PC (which tells me it can't fix it).
I have updated to the latest version of the BIOS (1.11.0, which Dell states adds Windows Server 2012 support).
I'm at a loss.. I've tried everything I can think of. Has anyone run into this issue and figured out a solution? The only references I can find to this issue talk about Gigabyte motherboards with USB 3.0, but this server pre-dates USB 3.0 by
quite a bit.

Hi,
Not only the BIOS but the iDRAC and storage part also need to ne up date check, have a look at the following list to see what you need for Server 2012:
http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/os-applications/w/wiki/3868.dell-bios-support-for-windows-server-2012.aspx
If any info was collected during the error then have a look in the event viewer or look for a kernel/memory dump file so you can try to find the issue, in many cases a driver, anti-virus sofware or 3rd part service can cause these kind of issues.

New windows open as Tabs without features

Hello,
When I open a new window of Firefox, it opens as a tab. But with the address bar missing, bookmarks gone, and Back, Forward, Reload not functional. The tab window is below the other toolbars and not at the top of the window.
I have to open 3-4 new windows to get a "normal" one. Has anyone else seen this?
A fix, please! Thank you.

You can try:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Cd burning issue after installing and updating snow leopard

After installing and updating snow leapard to the latest version, the cd burner for i-tunes quit working. it says" burning disk initializing" then "burning disk finishing" comes up with the error "the attempt to burn a disk failed. the disc drive didn't respond properly and can't recover or retry. Any suggestions to fix this problem?

First try other disks, brand new, then try another brand, then consider backup user files and (clean and polish then) c booting off the 10.6.3 disk and simply reinstalling OS X then updating to 10.6.8 again.
Hopefully this should fix the issue in OS X software, you may have to reinstall certain third party software again that it's kext files got kicked out of OS X by the reinstall.
If you get hung booting at any time, simply hold the shift key down and then update your software then reboot normally

Installing Software Updates for Leopard 10.5.5

Hello, I am having difficulty installing software updates on my Macbook.
I get updates each week regarding my software. I click to install the updates, the computer restarts and begins to install the update, and then the screen that shows the installation progress seems to stop at a certain point on the installation status bar and remains like that for hours. When I try to refresh the screen or move around my cursor, the status bar remains the same and it never seems like the installation was completed. I end up forcing a shutdown and then restart the computer.
As a result, I am not sure if the software update is ever completed because everytime I try to update my software, the same things happens. Anyone know why this is happening?

See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2383 which implies you should download and install the 10.5.6 update; however, I recommend that you copy the Upgrade folder's contents to another folder, rather than putting it into the trash, restart, and then try Software Update again. Note that the Update folder contains installers for previously downloaded updates, which you might want to retain. Once you update everything, you can move everything except the index.plist back into the folder.

Can new windows drivers be installed without updating to leopard?
