Concurrent sessions on a Mac running Leopard

Hi
Is it possible to have two people working on a same machine one log in locally and the other remotely?
Like you will do in a windows server.
Regards

Go to System Preferences > Sharing and enable File Sharing. Do this for both computers. All shared computers will appear on the Finder windows under Shared.
Click on the name of the computer you want to access and then press the *Connect As...* button. On the dialog box that comes up type your password to authenticate and press Connect. That's it.

Opening PageMaker files on a Mac running Leopard

What program can be used to open windows pagemaker files on a Mac running Leopard?

None. You'll need to install Windows on your Mac.

WIndows XP/Vista can not recognize shared folder on Mac running Leopard

Hi,
I have problem with sharing file from my Mac running Leopard to my Windows machine (running XP and Vista). I follow the instruction on this website. http://lifehacker.com/software/mac-os-x-leopard/leopard-simplifies-networking-31 7033.php
My Windows machine 'see' the Mac. When i double-click or press enter on the Mac comp icon on my windows machine, I do not get any confirm box to enter username and password. Instead, I am allowed to view the content which is empty ( although I enabled some shared folder on my Mac)
Any suggestion to solve the problem pls .

If your Mac Pro has FileVault on, your Windows XP machine will not be able to access the files, as FileVault disables SMB and printer sharing for Windows XP clients.
In case FileVault is not on, you could try temporarily disabling the Windows firewall and the anivirus and/or internet security suite on the WinPC, and see whether it can access the files on your Mac Pro.
Good Luck.

Two Macs Running Leopard Backing up to External HD, ONE BIG PROBLEM...

Hi Folks,
Hoping you can help me out. I have an intel imac and a PPC PBG4 both running leopard. I bought a 500gb hd to use TM to back up to. I connected the PBG4 directly via firewire 400 and did my first backup and it worked fine. I then was disconnected the PBG4 and connected the imac via firewire 800 to do a back up, it worked fine. Then was told I could keep the imac connected and back up the PBG4 via my network by mounting the drive from the imac. But the tranfer rate was misrable slow and in fact I came up with an error message stating it lost the connection to the drive and so I decided this wasn't the best option. But I am not wondering what is the best option. I am a newbie to macs, so I might be missing something small that could make a big difference in the transfer rate. Will I really be stuck mounting and unmounting the drive and connecting and disconnecting cables??? please help

If you're just running a cat5 cable from the Ethernet jack on one machine to the other, it won't work. You'll need a crossover cable. Then you'll need to make sure each Ethernet interface has a unique address on the same network, which must be different from the network you're on via wireless, by the way. Or you could just buy yourself a cheap hub (same rule applies to the network addresses.
You shouldn't have problems with what you want to do due to partitioning or anything else based on what you describe. The problem is the wireless network that's being used by who knows how many devices. If someone maxes out the bandwidth for a second while a backup is running, TM (and many other things) will choke.

Networking problem from Mac running Leopard to Mac running Yosemite

I have a curious networking problem and I would love some suggestions about what might be causing the problem and how to cure it.
I have a PowerMac G5/1.8DP running Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard with a number of external drives attached that I use as backup for all my RAW files. These are mirrored on three drives.
When I mount the drives on my iMac desktop, running OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite, over a gigabit ethernet network, two things are happening - 1. some of the folders are invisible (although they are actually there and populated on the PowerMac) and 2. spurious, empty, folders with odd names appear on the Yosemite desktop.
I have checked on the PowerMac to see that the folders all contain files - they do - yet over the LAN they appear as empty folders with gobbledygook names. This happens on all my Macs running Yosemite so it appears to be a Yosemite problem, rather than a Leopard problem. To further reinforce that I have also checked the PowerMac from three other Macs, running Tiger and Leopard, and they can see exactly what is on the drives, with no missing folders or oddly named folders.
The images show 1. the folder as it appears on the PowerMac running OS X 10.5.8, with two folders RAW Files 26 and RAW Files 28 highlighted, 2. the same folder seen on the Yosemite desktop with two folders, RAW Files 26 and 28, missing and 3. the same folder on Yosemite with three oddly named empty folders.
I am at a loss to know how to cure it and hope that someone will be able to help.

You can never, never, never transfer any installed version of PSE on any platform. You must always install from scratch on a new machine. By trying to do so you have made more work for yourself. You will need to download and run this:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
which will not seem to do anything, but is a necessary step to break the links within the program. Then you can go around and manually remove everything related to PSE that you can find, not only from Applications, but also from your username>library>preferences and the library at the top level of your hard drive>application support>adobe. You must go to these locations manually; spotlight will not help you with this type of search.
Then you can reinstall from your original media or from the download here:
Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10

CF 8.01 - 32 or 64-bit version on Intel Mac running Leopard?

I just purchased a new Intel based MacBook Pro notebook which
is running Leopard. I'm confused as to whether I should install the
32-bit or the 64-bit version of ColdFusion 8. Can anyone make a
recommendation? I will be using the built-in CF webserver.
Thank you!!!

Thank you!

How to see my PC's/ Macs in my workgroup from my Mac running Leopard

I am having trouble viewing any other computers (PC's and my G3 iMac) from my Quicksilver running OS 10.5. In previous versions of OS X I would click on the network icon on the left side of the finder window and I could see them, but now that's no longer there in the Leopard finder.
Using the other method (going to "Go", "Connect to Server", then "Browse") nothing shows up. It is the same on my G3 iMac running Panther, but when I click on the Network icon in the Panther Finder, I see a Folder with the name of my workgroup and inside it are all of my computers).
So basically, how do I view my workgroup computers in Leopard? BTW, all computers have file sharing enabled.

Hi,
In Leopard in System Preferences > Sharing With File Sharing selected go to the Advanced Button.
Is SMB Enabled ?
Also is the Finder's Preferences set to the Share items marked with the Red Info ?
Lastly, on the Windows Machines is Sharing Enabled (i.e Can the PCs see each other ?) If the PCs can not see each other then it is unlikely the Macs will "see" them.
(Just covering bases with this one - you seem to imply this but don't actually state it)

What to do with old mac running leopard

what should i do with this emac? i don't need it for a file server or anything like that.
any ideas?
eMac G4, 700MHz, 512MB RAM, 60GB HDD, DVD/CD-RW
running 10.5.1 (yes, Leopard, it runs faster than tiger, even on 700MHz)

The eMacs are great for oldies. The tray loader is far easier to use with shaky hands than a slot loader.
If the eMac doesn't owe you anything try the local superannuitants clubs or Old folks homes.
No one is going to wander off with it under their arm and the screen is easy to see and clean.
Otherwise a young family could give it a good home.
I loved my eMac it's now being used by a young family with Tiger installed.

2009 Mac running Leopard

I teach online, and one of my students has continual tech issues when we're doing Skype video. Is the computer possibly not strong enough/not enough memory/whatever (I'm ignorant!) to handle it? The mom has had it checked out at Apple, and there doesn't appear to be a problem. I don't think it's my Mac, because I don't have the issues with any of my other kids.
Or maybe it's simply her internet connection?

Thank you. Wrote the mom for clarification. She was wrong; it is Snow Leopard. This leaves me thinking that it has to be her connection...yet she says they're almost never down, and the internet is lightning quick. I guess I have to let the poor kid go. I teach kids online who've failed reading in school, and need special help. But I can't help if we keep losing our connection. Very sad.

Network problem - two Macs running Leopard won't connect or share

We've just bought a refurbed Mac book Pro since our HP notebook is so bloody unreliable and I suspect is about to cark it through overheating/inadequate cooling. The only problem is that networking it with our G5 is turning into a real nightmare, and embarrassingly both the HP and an old desktop PC can not only see and share with each other they can also see and be seen by both Macs and use the printer connected to the G5, and absolutely everything connects to the internet and shows up in the DHCP list on the router. Even more annoying was that the Macs connected initially this morning when we got the Macbook Pro out of the box, but after we'd done the initial round of software updates (10.5.2 was installed on the MBP) we've had nothing but trouble. Quite often they'd be in the shared list in the Finder window but wouldn't connect when clicked. Other times they wouldn't be there at all. We've even tried connecting the two over firewire, which worked for the G5 but not the MBP although the MBP could see the folders on the external hard drive we use for Time Machine backups of the G5.
File sharing is on for both Macs (and printer sharing for the G5 obviously), AFP is enabled, firewall settings have been moved to Allow All... everything looks right but it doesn't work right. Right now I've managed to get the G5 to connect to the MBP using the Go>Connect to Server method mentioned elsewhere here, but it's one way only. It didn't work when we tried it on the MBP.
The network is part cabled, part wifi. We've got a Motorola Surfboard cable modem/gateway/wireless router, both notebooks are connecting wirelessly, both desktops are cabled. If it makes any difference both Macs are on 10.5.5, the old desktop is Win2K (please don't laugh) and the HP notebook is Vista.
Any suggestions?

Well, it all seems to work now though I can't explain why and have no idea if it would work for others generally. But what we did, having reinstalled 10.5.2 and got the MacBook Pro back to exactly how it was when it arrived, was to install one update at a time checking that the two Mac could still communicate after each stage and with regular backups to be extra safe. The order we did the updates in was:
Airport Utility
Remote Desktop Client
iTunes
Front Row
Mac OS X Combined
Migration and DVD/CD Sharing
Java
Airport Extreme
QuickTime
QuickTime H.264 Compatibility
Security Update
Safari
Maybe the order doesn't make a difference, I really wouldn't know. But then it doesn't make sense to me that updating one item at a time would make a difference either. However, we now have the network working properly with the same network settings used before when it was hit and miss at best. Glynn, maybe it's worth giving it a try on yours though without a clue why it's now working here I couldn't call it a solution as such.

Problems installing lightroom 4 on mac running leopard osx 10.5.8

When I insert disc, I can open the disc, showing the lightroom 4 package, and the readme file. When I double click the package, nothing happens. When I open the installer, and click on the disc for lightroom 4, nothing happens. Help?

Well, the upshot is that my husbnd is the proud owner of a new macbook. Lightroom wasn't the first thing he hasn't been able to upgrade, so this was just the excuse he needed ;-). We got a good deal on a demo of last year's model.

Leopard cannot see hard drive on any Mac running Tiger.

Running Leopard 10.5.2 on a Mac Pro 3GHz 4-core w/6GB RAM. I cannot connect to any hard drive / root directory on any Mac on my network running Tiger (10.4.9, .10 or .11) or OS9. Yes I have an Avid Meridian in the edit suite runing OS 9.2.2. No laughing please...
I can connect to the User folder on any Mac running Tiger but not any hard drives on any Mac running Tiger from a Mac running Leopard. The hard drive cannot be accessed from a User folder even if an alias of the Tiger drive is placed in the ~/User/Public folder.
The reverse works as usual. Any Mac running Tiger can see any hard drive on any networked Mac including Macs running Leopard.
Has anyone else encountered this issue &/or found a workaround? I spent almost 2 hours with Apple Tech Support including a system specialist. They confirmed this behavior in Leopard connected to Tiger OS Macs. Hard drives can be seen between all Macs running Leopard. It was theorized by one of the Apple techs that the behavior was engineered to encourage upgrading all Macs to Leopard. BAD idea! I requested this be reported to Apple engineering.
Tiger can see any drive on the network back to OS7. Leopard cannot see previous OS version hard drives.
TIA for replies.

I suggest that you repeat the external boot process with your MBP. If it boots the MBP, the internal SATA cable probably is faulty and should be replaced.
Ciao.

2 mac with leopard, 1 ethernet Hard drive and Time machine : Does it work ?

I have 2 Imac with leopard connected by wireless to my local network (Linksys routeur).
I want to buy a ethernet 500Go drive to do my backup. This drive will be connected to the routeur with a cable.
Will I able to use TM with this configuration ?
If case of big problem, could I restore my data ?
Sorry if this question is already posted, I didn't find same case.
Bruno

Well, currently Apple doesn't support using a NAS drive.
The official line is that the hard drive be connected to the client Mac or anther Mac running Leopard. Some people have found ways to make a NAS work, but whether this works in the long run (i.e. reliable) is an open question.

If you look at the User Tips tab, you will find a write up on just this subject:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4053
The subject of buying/selling a Mac is quite complicated. Here is a guide to the steps involved. It is from the Seller's point of view, but easily read the other way too:
SELLING A MAC A
Internet Recovery, and Transferability of OS & iLife Apps
Selling an Old Mac:
• When selling an old Mac, the only OS that is legally transferable is the one that came preinstalled when the Mac was new. Selling a Mac with an upgraded OS isn't doing the new owner any favors. Attempting to do so will only result in headaches since the upgraded OS can't be registered by the new owner. If a clean install becomes necessary, they won't be able to do so and will be forced to install the original OS via Internet Recovery. Best to simply erase the drive and revert back to the original OS prior to selling any Mac.
• Additionally, upgrading the OS on a Mac you intend to sell means that you are leaving personally identifiable information on the Mac since the only way to upgrade the OS involves using your own AppleID to download the upgrade from the App Store. So there will be traces of your info and user account left behind. Again, best to erase the drive and revert to the original OS via Internet Recovery.
Internet Recovery:
• In the event that the OS has been upgraded to a newer version (i.e. Lion to Mountain Lion), Internet Recovery will offer the version of the OS that originally came with the Mac. So while booting to the Recovery Disk will show Mountain Lion as available for reinstall since that is the current version running, Internet Recovery, on the other hand, will only show Lion available since that was the OS shipped with that particular Mac.
• Though the Mac came with a particular version of Mac OS X, it appears that, when Internet Recovery is invoked, the most recent update of that version may be applied. (i.e. if the Mac originally came with 10.7.3, Internet Recovery may install a more recent update like 10.7.5)
iLife Apps:
• When the App Store is launched for the first time it will report that the iLife apps are available for the user to Accept under the Purchases section. The user will be required to enter their AppleID during the Acceptance process. From that point on the iLife apps will be tied to the AppleID used to Accept them. The user will be allowed to download the apps to other Macs they own if they wish using the same AppleID used to Accept them.
• Once Accepted on the new Mac, the iLife apps can not be transferred to any future owner when the Mac is sold. Attempting to use an AppleID after the apps have already been accepted using a different AppleID will result in the App Store reporting "These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID".
• It appears, however, that the iLife Apps do not automatically go to the first owner of the Mac. It's quite possible that the original owner, either by choice or neglect, never Accepted the iLife apps in the App Store. As a result, a future owner of the Mac may be able to successfully Accept the apps and retain them for themselves using their own AppleID. Bottom Line: Whoever Accepts the iLife apps first gets to keep them.
SELLING A MAC B
Follow these instructions step by step to prepare a Mac for sale:
Step One - Back up your data:
A. If you have any Virtual PCs shut them down. They cannot be in their "fast saved" state. They must be shut down from inside Windows.
B. Clone to an external drive using using Carbon Copy Cloner.
1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
2. Select the Source volume from the Select a source drop down menu on the left side.
3. Select the Destination volume from the Select a destination drop down menu on the right
side.
4. Click on the Clone button. If you are prompted about creating a clone of the Recovery HD be
sure to opt for that.
Destination means a freshly erased external backup drive. Source means the internal
startup drive.
Step Two - Prepare the machine for the new buyer:
1. De-authorize the computer in iTunes! De-authorize both iTunes and Audible accounts.
2, Remove any Open Firmware passwords or Firmware passwords.
3. Turn the brightness full up and volume nearly so.
4. Turn off File Vault, if enabled.
5. Disable iCloud, if enabled: See.What to do with iCloud before selling your computer
Step Three - Install a fresh OS:
A. Snow Leopard and earlier versions of OS X
1. Insert the original OS X install CD/DVD that came with your computer.
2. Restart the computer while holding down the C key to boot from the CD/DVD.
3. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu; repartition and reformat the internal hard drive.
Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
4. Install OS X.
5. Upon completion DO NOT restart the computer.
6. Shutdown the computer.
B. Lion and Mountain Lion (if pre-installed on the computer at purchase*)
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because
it is three times faster than wireless.
1. Restart the computer while holding down the COMMAND and R keys until the Mac OS X
Utilities window appears.
2. Select Disk Utility from the Mac OS X Utilities window and click on the Continue button.
3. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click
on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
5. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
6. Quit DU and return to the Mac OS X Utilities window.
7. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
8. Upon completion shutdown the computer.
*If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store then you cannot transfer your license to another party. In the case of the latter you should install the original version of OS X that came with your computer. You need to repartition the hard drive as well as reformat it; this will assure that the Recovery HD partition is removed. See Step Three above. You may verify these requirements by reviewing your OS X Software License.
