Cpu Drop-in dvdMac OS X Leopard CPU Drop-in DVD.

Just set up my brand new imac. I thought it would come with Leopard, but not so. It has Tiger. It did come with a disk called - Mac OS X Leopard CPU Drop-in DVD. But when I put in the DVD it pops back out. I tried starting on the DVD, but it pops out too. Should this disk update me to Leopard? Any reason it pops out?

*Hi rcar, Welcome* to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
IMHO be thankful it came w Tiger. Use a partitioned FWHD and put one OS on a partition w the other OS on the Internal HD. The other partition should be rather large for Time Machine. You might consider more partitions for Bootable BUs. TM is not bootable.
Good Luck, JP

  • HT1544 Leopard CPU "Drop in" DVD upgrade

    I have a PowerBook G4 (17" HiRes, 1.67GHz Power PC) running Mac OS10.4.11.  I have purchased the Mac OS X Leopard CPU "Drop in" DVD in order to upgrade my system from "Tiger" to "Leopard."
    QUESTION: After I upgrade, what will happen to my current Tiger applications (iDVD, iMovie, DVD player, iPhoto, Preview, etc.)?  Will I need to purchase new applications?  What about movie bookmarks, etc?  Will I need to start from scratch?

    If you have sufficient disk space (either internal or external) it is probably best to put a bootable clone of your existing OS onto a separate disk or partition before you do anything else. In this way you will preserve a working OS that you can return to. Please excuse my standard blurb below - it probably has sufficient information on how to do this.
    Backup first
    It is always best to have a full bootable backup before you upgrade. If you fail to do this you will be unable to return to this OS if you decide you don't like the new OS. Also there is a slight chance that an install could lose everything on the Mac. The backup must be to an external hard disk. Preferably use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a bootable backup of the whole disk.
    Erase before the install
    Once you have a bootable backup on an external disk it is best to erase the internal disk with the new installer DVD before you install.
    During the install
    Preferably do not import any data or preferences from earlier OSs during the install process as this can reintroduce bugs.
    OS numbers and names
    OS X 10.4.x - Tiger
    OS X 10.5.x - Leopard
    OS X 10.6.x - Snow Leopard
    OS X 10.7.x - Lion
    OS X 10.8.x - Mountain Lion

    Upgrade to Leopard
    Those wishing to upgrade to Leopard should be aware that install disks can be expensive unless you contact Apple. Details: http://lowendmac.com/deals/best-os-x-leopard-prices.html Standard Leopard installers impose several hardware limitations including speed and RAM size but all these restrictions can be overcome. Google for details. Leopard works well at 500 MHz with 1 GB of RAM and many happy users have less than this.
    Upgrade beyond Leopard
    OSs beyond OS X 10.5.8 require an Intel processor. If in doubt check this: Click the apple at the top left of your screen and select 'About this Mac'. This will give you your OS number. Then click 'More Info' to see which processor you have. If it says PowerPC you cannot upgrade to Snow Leopard and above. If you have an Intel Mac it is well worth upgrading to Snow Leopard now and then considering other options after that. You can buy Snow Leopard here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
    Upgrade beyond Snow Leopard

    Check that your Mac complies with any requirements. If you are not in the US you should use the Change Country link at the bottom of Apple pages.

  • Help!  'Leopard CPU Drop-in DVD' Ejecting on Brand new macbook pro

    Hey everyone. I just recieved my highly anticipated Macbook Pro that came preinstalled with OSX 10.4.10. I haven't installed anything yet because i am wanting to install Leopard first. The computer came with the 'Mac OS X Leopard - CPU Drop-in DVD'. After I put the dvd in i have tried to install it 4 different ways. One, just by double clicking the 'Install Mac OS X.app' icon (i've actually tried this about 4 times). Second, I tried to install it by using the Leopard DVD as the start-up disc as described in the 'troubleshooting leopard' doc online. Thirdly, I tried (three times) to restart the computer with the DVD in while holding 'C' down. And finally, my last attempt i installed the Tiger discs thinking that might do it...after i installed Tiger which was already preinstalled on the computer, I repeated the above mentioned methods...and everytime the dvd gets ejected on the restart...a couple seconds after the 'apple logo' appears on bootup...then, the 'not working' icon (circle with the diagonal line through it like 'no smoking' logo) appears.
    help!!! i'm anxious to get Leopard running!!!! i've been dreaming about this computer for about 3 years now.
    any help is appreciated!!!

    ok...i'm not sure how at all...but, a couple hours have passed since i posted this and while i was hoping someone would reply i was finishing up some old work on my old, extremely slow emac. anyways, i decided to go ahead and try to install leopard again from the normal standard method. (which is just clicking the icon once the leopard install window comes up). Guess what? now it's 50% into the installation!! i don't want to count my chickens before they hatch...especially after some of the discussions i've read about leopard so far...but, i'm hopeful
    who knows how...i'm clueless and it doesn't make much sense to me. but, i'll come back and let anyone who cares know how the install went.
    note for anyone with similar problems:
    another strange fix to the 'leopard dvd ejecting on install' is to let the dvd chill in the drive for a couple hours...then try it again. HAHAHAHAHA!!!! worked for me

  • My 1st iMac, need help with the upgrade to Leopard CPU Drop-In DVD

    Hello all, my 1st post as a new Apple switcher!
    I just received my new iMac 24" today, and I am not sure about the upgrade to Leopard. (Came pre-installed with Tiger, and came with a Leopard CPU Drop-In DVD). I have read about a few issues with the upgrade / re-install process to Leopard, stemming from the rumor that the Leopard CPU Drop-In DVD is not a full version, but an upgrade only.
    First of all, obviously I am supposed to put in the "Drop-In DVD" and let it rip, but there are several options to pick from. One of them is upgrade, and another is to erase the hard drive and perform a clean install.
    My questions are:
    If I perform the erase and install, I have heard that iLife 08 will not be installed. If so, where / how do I reinstall that and any other apps that are left out?
    Secondly, in the future, if I need to re-install again, will this "Drop-In DVD" work because Tiger has been removed from the hard drive? Will I just pop in my Tiger disks like the old Windows stuff required?
    I plan on just doing the upgrade, but I would like to know what to do in the future if I have to do an erase / install.
    Thank you, and the iMac 24" is gorgeous!

    Hey, I know what you mean.
    I upgraded to Leopard after buying my first mac with Tiger.
    I rang customer service and asked how do I install iLife 08 if I do a clean instal,l as when i upgraded my Safari would not play flash, quicktime or open certain websites. Also I had a very long load up period with Blue Screen which bothered me a lot. (I know I am fussy)
    Anyway my brother suggested I use Pacifist to get the .pkg files from the Tiger boot disk. He took control of my machine as he has Leopard and did this for me remotely as I am not a wizard like him.
    By the way that is a great feature of Leopard.
    Anyway this worked for me, only iMovie would not start properly but when I download the updates to iLife 08 they all work perfectly now. Saved my 79 euro as well instead of having to buy again as I think iLife should be supplied on a separate disk, (bad form apple) as they know for many a clean install is likely if they experience serious issues upgrading.
    Anyway pacifist http://www.charlessoft.com/ is worth a try if you can't afford to fork out for iLife again like me.
    Just make sure you select all the iLife .pkg files and composer files. when it installs if the files are already there just click leave alone and it will install only what it needs. Then run the updates if you have any issues opening any of the programs such as imovie and this should replace any missing files.
    I have open and run all the iLife programs and so far so good.

  • Restoring Entire System to Earlier Backup with Leopard CPU Drop-in DVD

    After some programs failed in a pernicious manner, I decided to return the entire system to a Time Machine backup made earlier today. Time Machine Help "Recovering your Entire system" seems to be the only relevant help. It says to choose Utilities > Restore System from my Mac OS X Install disc. But I was shipped two Tiger Mac OS X Install Discs and a Leopard CPU Drop-in DVD (updates to Leopard). The Leopard Drop-in does not have Utilities > Restore System and I am reluctant to use either Tiger disc to restore my Leopard system.
    What should I be doing? I hope the answer provides a restore process that is relatively quick because the changes are relatively small.
    Message was edited by: Butterflie14

    Butterflie14,
    The term "delta" doesn't really apply to Time Machine backups. Each backup is a complete "snapshot" of the entire installation. In order to do this without copying over huge amounts of data, Time Machine uses "multi-linked" files in the various backups, all pointing to the same data. That is, with the exception of any new/changed files; these represent the only real data that is transferred during each backup. Only in this sense does "delta" apply.
    Restoring from a backup, at least in the context of "going back to a previous state," is an all-or-nothing proposition. That doesn't mean it has to take a long time. First, the process of erasing a drive takes mere seconds. Second, a Time Machine "Restore" doesn't include a new installation of OS X from the installer disk (which would take a long time), but rather a restoration of the entire system from the backup. As such, it is dependent entirely on the speed of the drive and connecting bus (FW 400, 800, USB, etc.). In the case of my FW 800 drive, a complete "Restore" of a 50 GB system took about 30 minutes.
    I agree, to take this step seems like a waste just to recover from some "pernicious" action of a particular application. If you were a bit more specific about what application we're talking about, and just what it did, perhaps I could offer better advice. You can restore anything that has been backed up by Time Machine, but may have been deleted from your internal disk in the meantime, but you cannot really "un-modify" OS X, if that is what has happened. To do so, you must perform a complete "Restore."

    Hi Hatter,
    Thank you for the feedback, I am already in the process of doing those steps before I wrote this question. The reason I am posting this is because I would really like to see if others have experienced problems with this. I want to be prepared with information when I have my appointment with the genius bar (this is my production mac and I need to finish up a project before I can get some known issues fixed).
    By knowing if others have seen issues with cpu 2 this will help me in understanding the problem and know if I'm getting the correct information from the genius bar. IE I don't want to be back at the bar with my HEAVY mac pro trying to troubleshoot this over a long period of time if someone here has seen a similar message and I can shortcut what might be a long and tedious process of fixing this.
    AGAIN, thank you for the feedback but I am doing those steps.

  • Hello, I have a 2009 iMac, and my harddrive has failed several times now, and now I need to re-install snow leopard but my install DVD is damaged and I have bought a new snow leopard disc. However my iMac will not read the disc at all ?

    Hello, I have a 2009 iMac, and my harddrive has failed several times now.
    I tired to reinstall snow leopard with the install DVD that came with my iMac. However the disc is damaged so I bought a new Snow Leopard but my iMac wont read the new disc, it just stays in the apple logo screen, I have tired safe boot, holding down the "C" key on startup and tried using disc utility but getting nowhere.
    Please help. Thanks.

    Might be related, if your hard drive is a 1TB drive,it could be a Seagate drive.
    The drives are known to fail and your iMac maybe covered for free replacement under the Apple's Seagate hard drive replacement program until April 12 of this year.
    I Believe the 2009 models are covered under this replacement warranty.
    You can find out if you are eligible here.

  • How to install Leopard from an external DVD reader?

    Hi,
    I've bought Leopard today. unfortunately, it's not yet installed on my PowerBook. As my SuperDrive is dead, I use now an external DVD (Lacie Portable DVD-RW), but it doesn't work. I can read the Leopard install DVD, but when it reboot, it reboot on my current installation.
    I've tried the following during the boot sequence:
    - alt pressed, but I can only see my main HDD
    - c pressed, but I boot on my current installation
    Can you tell me if it is possible to install Leopard from an external DVD, and how can I do that ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Emmanuel Di Pretoro

    Can you tell me if the same problem occur with a FireWire external DVD ?
    It does not occur on your model of Mac.

  • Leopard 10.5.4 DVD

    ... Leopard 10.5.4 DVDs are now available for those that need or want it (many Mac Pro owners with upgraded graphics).
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB576Z/A

    Anyone who currently has 10.5 through 10.5.3 can upgrade to 10.5.4 using the update available here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1054comboupdate.html
    The value of having a retail 10.5.4 DVDs include:
    1. Those who don't have the prebundled DVD and only need the prebundled software that came with Leopard (that does not include iLife, but does include iTunes).The retail disk also does not include the hardware test software.
    2. Those who live far away from an Apple authorized store and are on dialup internet will be able to get the 10.5.4 update on a disc without having to suffer through disconnected downloads.
    Regardless, check to make sure your hardware and software has been tested with 10.5.4 before purchasing. If it hasn't but has been tested with earlier versions of 10.5, you may need to find an older retail package, as downgrading is not easy.

  • I have 3 consecutive movie clips that I am trying to drop into the drop zone but it only recognizes the first one and only produces the firts one in a DVD. How can I drop all three  movie clips into one drop zone

    On IDVD, I have 3 consecutive movie clips that I am trying to drop into the drop zone to create a DVD but it only recognizes the first one I dropped and only produced the first one in a DVD. How can I drop all three  movie clips into one drop zone.

    I have had some luck doing the following: Export each clip from imovie as a quicktime clip. Open iDVD and create a new project. Import a few stills into iDVD and then click on the button that gets created to get into the screen where the individual slides appear. Drag each quicktime into that screen and arrange in the order you want. You can then delete the stills. The button that appeared when you dropped in the stills will launch a complete show.

  • Difference between Leopard CPU Drop-in Kit and full retail DVDs

    before purchasing the Leopard 10.5 DVD I see there are "full retail DVD" and a "CPU Drop-in DVD". What's the difference? I have an iBook G4 w/ 10.4.11 now but want to upgrade to Leopard.
    Thanks

    The latter requires a pre-existing Tiger system. The former is a standalone installer.

  • Unable to load Mac OS x Leopard CPU drop in DVD

    The Leopard DVD Will not load when holding down"C" on starting up.
    Installer unable to open the package.
    Message says this is likely due to install framework's runner executible not having the proper ownership and/or permissions.
    Thus I can't reload OS 10.5

    Which version iMac do you have, and which Leopard DVD are you trying to boot from?
    Is it one you originally used to install Leopard on your iMac or did your iMac come with Leopard?
    If the latter, you have to install from the Software Restore disc that originally shipped with your Mac.
    If the former, it could be the DVD has become damaged somehow (scratched, dirt on the disc, etc.)

  • High CPU load with Flash on Mac Leopard

    Dear Adobe,
    I am always running the latest version of the Flash plugin on my Macbook. Ever since even with the simplest Flash movies running in a browser (no matter whether Safari, Firefox, Camino, Opera, ...) the CPU load jumps oh so high the fans will spin at full speed and the CPU starts to create subtropic temperatures. Years ago I was running a Windows PC where the CPU load wasn't even close to such high CPU loads. Oh so many Apple users would very very much appreciate Flash Player being at least close to as efficient as the Windows version.
    Thanks in advance for making Flash movies more enjoyable on the Mac platform

    Adobe need to realize that once their great product with a lot of penetration into the web ad + ria market is starting loose its ground as they simply can't address ongoing issue on their poor flash plug-in performance other than on windows platform. There are a lot of flash enthusiast out there but this poor support from the Adobe doesn't help this much further. One of the reasons why other software vendors pushing for more open standard RIA platforms other than Flash based...
    Only suggestion that I have with Adobe is that if you can not get it right then, it may help to open up flash player source to the community. I am pretty sure that there are a lot of developers out there who can help out to drive better code base for the player and in turn make flash more adopted by non non ms windows user base. At the moment, I have installed "Click2Flash" and "FlashBlock" to save majority of CPU cycle on my MacBook Pro. Imagine the impact on this for future Adobe product. All online ad will slowly move away from flash based and in turn loosing entire market share it has successfully built over the years... Well must note that MS isn't much better either... MS RDP client is permanently turned off from my system, now I'm using CoRD instead..
    I sincerely hope to see some major performance improvements in near future.
