Does 2.2 admin with with panther (ARD 1.2) clients?

I have a group of Panther (10.3.5) machines that I currently admin from my Panther desktop. All of these are running ARD 1.2 (I don't believe 1.2 had seperate admin and client components...true?).
I've added a Tiger machine and need to admin it also but I keep getting connection problems from my ARD 1.2 desktop. I'd like to upgrade my desktop to ARD 2.2 but am concerned that I may not be able to admin my Panther machines any longer.
Is 2.2 admin backwardly compatible with 1.2 clients?
thanks muchly

To my knowlege (I have had both ARD 2 and the original ARD), it is not backwards compatible.
However, if you have Panther, you can update all of those machines remotely to ARD 2.2 client. Just do a network scan for those machines from the machine with ARD Admin installed. They will show up as having only ARD 1.2 (possibly 1.2.4), and will give you an option somewhere to update to the newest ARD client software.
Hope this helps.

Install on new Mac Mini with Panther

On a New Mini out of the box with Panther installed is it better to set up the system and then upgrade to Tiger. Or do I have a choice to upgrade first.

It does not matter.
If you have the 'Upgrade" discs, then I would upgrade to Tiger first thing, so you're upgrading over a "fresh" untouched install of Panther. Less chance for errors that way.

IMac G5 with Panther to New iMacs with Intel

Will there be any issues with programs or files I can run or open on my iMac G5 with Panther 10.3.9 if I transfer them to a new iMac G5 with the Intel chip and Tiger platform?
I am aware that I will probably be buying a new graphics Software package (Adobe Creative Suite)when I purchase the new computerRight now I have Creative Suite original circa 2004 (not professional)
Would files that I have created on the older system transfer to the new platform?
I'm ready for the changes but is my system?
Thanks you,

The Mac OS X setup assistant comes with a migration tool to help you move your files and installed applications to your new machine. Because you are moving from an older Mac OS to a newer Mac OS and because you are moving from a PowerPC Mac to an Intel Mac, you may see some minor differences but for the most part everything should still work.
The migration tool will not erase your older iMac. If something does not work then you have not lost anything other than a little time.
If you have further questions or concerns I suggest you post them in a forum dedicated to the iMac such as <http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=132> rather than this one, which is dedicated to Mac and Windows compatibility issues.
Hope this helps!

Airport Admin with Leopard

How can I administrate my old Airport base stations with Leopard? it does not come with the Airport Admin utility and the app that is there in Utilities does not work with the old Snow Base Stations?.... Any ideas?

Have you tried AirPort Admin Utility version 4.2? Tiger didn't necessarily come with it either, but it still works with Tiger.
If you don't have AirPort Admin Utility version 4.2, you can get it this way*:
. Go to http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airport42formacosx1033.html;
. Download a disk image named "AirPortSW42.dmg";
. If the installer launches, quit the installer;
. Double-click the disk image to mount a volume named "AirPort 4.2 Update";
. Within the AirPort 4.2 Update window, ctrl-click on "AirPortSW.pkg";
. Select "Show Package Contents";
. Open the "Contents" folder;
. Double-click the "Archive.pax.gz" file, which causes an "Archive.pax" file and an "Archive" folder to be extracted;
. Open the "Archive" folder, the "Applications" folder within it, and the "Utilities" folder within that.
The AirPort Admin Utility is there. Discard everything else that was downloaded, as it probably will not work with your system. (AirPort Setup Assistant version 4.2 does not even work with Tiger.)
*At least, this is how to get the utility using the Finder in Tiger. I imagine that the process would be the same in Leopard.

There is a Ubuntu 10.4 version for Mac with PPC architecture; not sure
how that would work in the computer you may consider running it in.
Some leads on that kind of discussion can be found by using a Google
search, and the words: *ubuntu for PPC G4 Mac* + read through results.
Or choose to search using these terms: *Open Source Linux PPC G4 Mac*
A few results point back to Apple Discussions, where there were inquiries.
Note the version of a Linux-type of OS, compatible with Mac PPC hardware,
on the following page-link: *• Ubuntu 10.0.4 LTS (Lucid Lynx)*
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/10.04/release/
{You would have to put the image, as downloaded from such a site, on a CD
for use as an Installer; then follow any instructions as available to install it.}
An old page (from 2007?) with some details, some not up-to-date,
may be of help to a limited degree, from here: Ubuntu PPC wiki
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ#Is%20Ubuntu%20supported%20on%20PowerPC?
Or: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ
See their home page to look for other information on the site: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/
These wiki groups are like communities, with rules & other such considerations; you
may be able to also find +Open Source+ sites with information and builds of suitable
Linux versions capable of running well in an older PPC Mac. There are newer ones
that would have no problem on a newer Intel-based Mac, of course.
• Mac Linux Links: (perhaps too dated)
http://lowendmac.com/linux/index.shtml
• Comparison of Linux distributions:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparisonof_Linuxdistributions
Hardware support in the older PPC G4 Mac computer should be considered, in order
to have the better experience possible with the Linux-based OS; and some specs in
an old Mac may not be ideal. The graphics processor unit and amount of dedicated
RAM for the graphics alone, could make a difference; depending on what you had in
mind when running a Linux-based OS in a PPC Mac. So consider hardware specs.
Some hardware in the computer may or may not be supported by the Software; and
then, there may be some problems implementing a Linux OS version in your Mac.
If you had an old Mac Mini (PPC or early Intel) & considered running Linux, there's
a page of general ideas worth a peek: http://sowerbutts.com/linux-mac-mini/
You may not have enough room on the existing internal hard disk drive inside the
iMac G4, for a complete OS X 10.3.9 or Later OS X, and a partition for Linux in it.
And, you may find through reading further, if you need to (or don't) start fresh and
have a partition for each different OS, or not. For organizational purposes and ease
of removing one system or the other, a partitioned hard disk drive may be best.
There probably is a way to have Linux on an external bootable hard disk drive; &
that would have to be compatible with the Mac hardware requirements to be seen
and used by the computer, and also the ability to restart from Linux into Mac OS X
would have to exist in the system software. Hopefully without incident.
You will have some degree of a learning curve in this matter, from reading up on
the details of any viable Linux versions, through the ones likely to work in your
old PPC G4 Mac, and then if there are more than two or three good ones, of those
what one would be most likely to be worth the additional effort to attempt to use in it.
Depending on the version and specifications of your iMac G4 computer, there could
be different versions of linux systems capable of running it. However, some items
may not be supported which you would need to have working, such as wi-fi internet
and sleep mode, etc; among others. Searching the net does bring up more info.
{You may find, that going to OS X 10.4.11 would be more worth the effort, in that
most everything would 'just work' and you can still find many good software bits
and some fine freeware or low cost shareware to run on it. Linux versions vary
so much on what they can and cannot do, I would not recommend running it.}
Since I am not an expert in the matter, hopefully someone with a experimental time
and results in a similar vintage Mac as yours will reply and give you insightful info.
Good luck & happy computing!

Should I restore with original install disks or with Panther disks?

Okay, I recently received a new Macbook Pro 2.0Ghz 15", and I am handing off my old Powerbook 867Mhz 12" to my father. It is a Revision A machine, and came with a copy of Jaguar on it (which means that 10.2 will be on the original install disks as well).
What I am doing with it is doing a clean install with the intention of giving my father a completely clean hard drive with 10.3.9 on it (I purchased Panther when it came out).
Is it best to first do a clean intsall with the Powerbook's own disks, putting 10.2 back on the machine, and then installing Panther overtop of that, or would I be better off using the Panther install disks to do this clean install?
Thank you for your help!

Thanks for your help.
Unfortunately, a new problem arose of course. My CD case of important CDs has two iMac install disk sets, but no Powerbook set to be found. So I tried just using My panther "Upgrade Disk," but the problem is the computer is already running an OS later than what is on the CD, so it says it cannot install itself on the Powerbook Hard Drive.
What am I to do about this problem? I thought about partitioning the hard drive to give it a clean half to install to, but I can only imagine that consolidating those two later will only make things more difficult on myself.
Thanks again... Jared

Does my iMac come with ny security softwares???

Hey everyone I am aware that macs are very safe, but I am a security freak, so I am wondering...
1. Does my iMac coe with any internet security or virus protection? I was reading somewhere that hey had something that came with it.
However i am not sure which is why i am asking you gys!
Thanks.
-Ryan

Yes, your Mac comes with security software...it is called Mac OS X. The Mac OS is built on Linux which means it is built with security in mind. Having set up and started your computer, you created an account which a password. That is one level of security since you cannot use Apple's installer software to install programs nor make changes to the main Library without that password. Malware has to ask you for help getting installed.
You probably created your account as an administrator account. I'd recommend that you consider creating a second account and make it a normal account. Use that account for day to day work and use the admin account for installing software that demands an administrative password. The advantage is that if any malware does slip in through nefarious means, it can only affect your user account and not the entire computer.
Don't forget that the Mac OS comes with a firewall built in. Look for it in the System Preferences under 'security'. I don't recall if it is turned on by default or not.
Other than this, do you really need third party security software? If you read the scary news (compiled by friendly companies that make computer security software) yes, you do. But the truth is, except for a couple trojans and a hacked program at a warez site, there have been no baddies found for the Mac in the wild. What has been found is easily avoidable by practicing safe hex - no special security software needed.
No question, this could all change very quickly but for now, go ahead and download ClamXav, an open source anti-virus program. It won't do any harm to the computer or your pocketbook. Then again, so far, it hasn't done me any good either.

G5 with Panther 10.3.9?

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to run G5 2gig imac with Panther? I'm trying to get imovie 5 to actually work. I have done 3 re-installs of Tiger this last time with no updates-just what came with the discs but imovie is ubstable.
I installed Panther on an external firewire drive & imovie 5 runs well so far( & boots OK). Only problem, the fan on the imac won't stop . If I randomly move the slider in Power options, the fan stops but restarts about 30sec. later.
I've also posted this question in imovie 5 forum.
Does anybody know why the fan goes nuts & whether I could install Panther on G5 imac?
Mark

I have a "Rev. A" 1.8 GHZ iMac with 1 gig of memory and iMovieHD runs fine with OS 10.3.9. In fact, I'm recording a Sherlock Holmes movie from Turner Classic Movie using iMovieHD onto my iMac while I'm writing this with my G4 TiBook. I qualified for the Tiger upgrade and received the disks but I hesitate to install it until Apple releases three or four bug fixes - they are only up to two so far. To install OS 10.3.9 I think you'll have to erase the disk that Tiger is on since I think the installer will not let you install Panther over the newer Tiger.
My fan also seems to run a lot and the CPU seems to be very active (according to MenuMeters) as if it's running some background program - see my post from yesterday.
Good luck.

You mean you can't get to the Summary pane?
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar

Welcome to Adobe Community .
Minimum requirements means that you have to have these as the minimum configuration to install the Adobe Products . You can surely go ahead and install the product on a windows 8 PC and it should work fine.

Time Machine does not cope well with nearly-full disk

Although Time Machine is supposed to delete old backups when the disk fills up, under some circumstances it does not cope well with a disk-full condition.
Hardware: iMac (mid 2007)
OS: Mac OS X version 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)
Processor: 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
The other day I noticed that I had not had a successful Time Machine backup in over a day. Backups were taking a long time to run (4 hours or more), during which time the backup disk was chattering constantly and the disk showed "Estimating index time" in the Spotlight menu (even though I had excluded the disk from Spotlight indexing). When the disk finally stopped chattering, the backup finished with no visible errors but Time Machine continued to state that the last successful backup was yesterday. The backup disk was nearly full, but I had assumed that Time Machine was designed to cope with this situation by deleting old backups.
A complete annotated log file of the incident and my observations can be found here: http://bentopress.com/backup.log.zip
Here are some of the interesting entries from the system.log file:

Sep 7 16:26:15 Bento-iMac com.apple.backupd[56515]: Backup canceled.
Note the "error: 0". Error code zero normally indicates success.
There were also many, many, many copies of the following message, which occurred while Spotlight was trying to index the backup disk:
Sep 7 17:28:40 Bento-iMac com.apple.backupd[58064]: Waiting for index to be ready (100)
Here's what I think is happening: at the very end of the backup, after the files have been copied to the backup disk, mds resets indexing because the disk is now full. backupd's attempt to flush the index to disk then fails because indexing is suspended (error zero), so the backup is canceled. I suspect that this may occur when the new backup and the old one(s) being deleted are both small enough that the disk "packs" tightly, leaving no room for the index. If a large (>500MB) old backup had been deleted to make room for a small (<100MB) new one, the problem would not have occurred.
I worked around the problem by switching Time Machine from the full disk to my Time Capsule. (I did not have this system backing up to the Time Capsule originally because I purchased the Time Capsule later for a different system.) The downside of this is that I lost access to older backups (though they are still accessible by right-clicking on Time Machine in the dock and selecting "Browse other Time Machine disks..."—however, I have not actually tried this). I'm also not completely happy having both my main systems backing up to the same hardware, but everything seems to be working well at this point and I do have a secondary backup system, using SuperDuper to clone the systems' disks to an external HD, which I do about once a month.
Although I have worked around the problem, I am posting this in the hope that it will be useful to someone else, in the hope that someone at Apple will notice and perhaps improve the performance of Time Machine in this situation, and also in the hope that someone can suggest a solution that does not involve throwing a bigger disk at the problem. Is there any way to free up space on Time Machine's backup disk, for example by manually pruning older backups, either through Time Machine itself or via the Finder or command line?

If you suspect that the disk being full is the problem, have you tried deleting some of the old backup data on the TM disk?
When in TM, go back to the past a long way, right click on a file/directory and select "delete backup". Do this on some big files you have (so that you get more space per removal) that you change all the time (so you'll still have recent backups).

Be sure you go to Adobe's Web Site and make sure there are no Updates for CS6
http://www.adobe.com
Remember if you have trouble with a software issue it is the software and not caused by the Mac you are using
Many users simply don't remember when you upgrade software you normally have to go to 3rd party web sites and update software as well.

How do I fix this problem?
Cheers, JH

The thing is, when I right click a pdf file, and then go to properties, change default program to open with, select browse, I select it in the correct folder, when I click open, it doesnt open and the programs stay blank, so I cant select anything. There is nothing to select. And I have re-installed. But at the end of the install there are no options what file types to associate with. Any way to do it inside Reader?
I have reader 9.2.0. and Win7 up to date. When I'm opening and closing allot of files the whole time, I don't want to do inside reader. Help please?
