Does Apple Broadband Tuner work with Leopard?

Does anyone know if this works with Leopard? I didn't want to install it if it would screw up the OS. My speed seems bottlenecked at ~5Mbps on a 30Mbps FIOS connection. My speed patched XP box gets ~2.5MB/sec on a download while Leopard gets ~500KB/sec on the same download. Apple should have tuned Leopard's networking better than this.

My speeds in my leopard have not changed and have not needed to use the broadband tuner my adsl2+ connection just flies.
That being said the broadband tuner just changes some tcp values and is not recommended for airport connections.
The system parameters are sysctl variables that are set as follows:
net.inet.tcp.sendspace: 131072
net.inet.tcp.recvspace: 358400
kern.ipc.maxsockbuf: 512000
The package installer works.
Once installed you can check to see if the tcp values have changed.
in the terminal use the command
sysctl -a
scroll through the list of values until you find
net.inet.tcp.sendspace: 131072
net.inet.tcp.recvspace: 358400
Then you can see the pkg installer did work.

I wiped my computer, and now iTunes doesn't work. Does iTunes no longer work with Leopard, or did I do something wrong?

I wiped the computer using the original OS disk so I could give it to my mom in July. iTunes worked when I did it. I just updated the system and tried logging onto iTunes for the first time since I wiped the memory. I can log on, but nothing appears on the home screen. It looks like I can download files from the internet and import them into iTunes, but I can't access the stuff I've purchased from Apple. Is the iTunes Store no longer compatible with Leopard? Do I have to purchase a newer OS to access my purchases? Or did I do something wrong?

Hi, likely something else isn't updated, maaybe Safari?
Is his he version you have, & Safari 5.0.3 or more?

Does old "Backup" program work with Leopard?

I want to install Leopard as a full clean "wipe out the HD" install. Once I do that, I have to bring back in everything. Most of it will be easy: dotmac will bring in my mail, address book, and safari bookmarks, and I have installer disks for most of my programs. But things like my documents, iPhoto library and my iTunes library will need to be pulled from Backup, a well as some preference files and application support stuff for a few apps that will need it. I also presume that down the road I may need to access a few things here and there as I transition fully to Time Machine.
Will I be able to use the Backup program and my existing incremental backups to access that information? I am not going to install anything until I'm positive this can work. I'd prefer not to make a disk image or just copy everything over to my external drive if I already have a robust backup database in place.
Thanks in advance.

Ok. I have a huge problem. I have an Incremental Backup Package of my Home folder made with Backup from Tiger. I did an erase and install and put on Leopard. I installed the current version of Backup on Leopard. Now, when I double click on the Package on the external drive and check the box for Home folder, I select replace existing items, hit restore, get the error:
"Backup may attempt to restore files that are in use by open applications, which can cause unexpected results."
Hit continue, and after a few seconds, it stops acting like it will restore and I get the red circle with the ! in it. I click it and it says restore failed. I view details. Console opens and says, "Begin restore at 2007-11-02 21:39:29 -0400 End restore at 2007-11-02 21:39:35 -0400." Then there is a window with a bunch of code telling me something that I have no Idea what it is.
Please help.

Does this wireless card work with leopard

I was just wondering if anyone has this wireless card working on os x leopard?:
http://www.macwireless.com/html/products/wirelesscards/11g_11bcards/11gPCI.php
It says it is tiger compatible - but then also says tiger or "higher". I wrote the company selling it but just wondered if anyone is already using it out there .
Thanks,
David

Hi there!
You need to be sure that this card supports the broadcomm chipset, as this will allow the card to be recognized as an airport extreme device, otherwise you might have to hunt for a compatible driver for the mac.
You are better off with the G+ card from Belkin. The model of my card is a Belkin F5D7001 with the broadcomm chipset. You might have to do an in depth search to make sure that you find the right one.

Does Apple FM Receiver work with the iPhone?

When I plug in the FM receiver, I get a message saying it's not supported.
Thanks.

no it doesnt...i was really hoping it would, but when you connect it it says:
"This accessory is not supported by iPhone"
...it probably has to do with the extra pin on the iphone headphones (left audio, right audio, microphone/click-button), where the fm receiver jack only has (left & right audio). there's no reason why they couldn't just pass that through on future versions, but all the fm receivers out to date probably dont support the extra pin

Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own? If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps? How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two?

Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own? If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps? How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two? also I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?

Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own?
Yes, it is possible. 1 apple ID can be associated with up to 10 devices.
If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps?
Yes, all purchases are non-transferable.
How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two?
Every device associated with one apple ID through Find my iPhone is tied to that Apple ID; Find my iPhone will work in the same way with up to ten devices associated with one apple ID. You cannot enable Find my iPhone for one device across two apple IDs
I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?
If you have authorized a computer with the old apple ID, you can transfer old media purchased through the old to other devices via iTunes. This doesn't mean the media purchases through the old apple ID it transferred to the new account. If you plan to make future purchases and don't wish to share them with others, make your own apple ID.

Hi does anyone know if logic 7.1.1 works with Leopard?

It's not even compatible with Windows 7 and probably you will find many browser compatibility issues if generating webhelp.

Osascript for remote login does not work with Leopard

We are testing Leopard on one computer in our labs. The only problem so far is that the osascript that we use to remote login to the computers stopped working (although it works fine on the Tiger machines):
osascript <<EndOfMyScript
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "public"
keystroke tab
delay 0.5
keystroke return
keystroke tab
delay 0.5
keystroke return
keystroke return
end tell
EndOfMyScript
This is a public account with no user password. I've read the discussion below, but have not been able to tweak the command so that it works with Leopard. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
http://lists.apple.com/archives/Remote-desktop/2007/Nov/msg00045.html

I'm having a similar problem - the script below works with my G5 iMacs running 10.4.9 but not the Intel iMacs running 10.4.8. It almost works - the username and password appear in the right boxes, so I run around the room pressing the Return key.
# This script when used with ASR Send UNIX command will login workstations at the LoginWindow.
# The script assumes that the cursor is focused in the Name field.
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke "username"'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke tab'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to delay 0.5'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke "password"'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to delay 0.5'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke return'

Thanks!

It should. First, turn on BlueTooth on the computer. In BT preferences be sure to check the option to look for all devices. Your remote should be picked up and a notice asking if you want to Pair it with the computer. Select Yes. Once it is paired it can be used to control your computer.

Does anyone know if Fusion works with Leopard?

I have a new 20" iMac, 2.4 ghz., with 3 gb ram. I'm running Fusion now in order to run some PC programs not available on the Mac. Fusion runs great in Tiger, so I'm wondering if anyone yet is running Fusion or Parallels in Leopard?
I played around yesterday with a 24" iMac running Leopard and I was very pleased with the performance and the features. I know according to Fusion, the program suppose work with Leopard, but I thought I would check with some of the users here. BTW, I already ordered my new OS from Amazon waiting for it to ship.
Thanks in advance for any help or information you people can give.

Thanks for your quick reply. Are you using Fusion with Leopard, or are you just quoting their website? Also when I get Leopard from Amazon I am just planning on doing an upgrade install. Will I have to reinstall Fusion and my windows programs or will they be left untouched?
Fusion DID in fact work on the pre-releases of Leopard, I've seen screens of it in action.
Also, Windows is placed on a seperate partition from OS X, so it should remain untouched, BUT I'd be prepared to reinstall Windows in case something goes screwy.
Hope this helps you out.

Does iLife '06 work with Leopard

I want to install iLife '06 on a powerbook G4 ppc running Leopard. Does iLife 06 work with Leopard? In case your wondering, I want to be able to use imovie, and since the imovie version of iLife '08 will not work on a PPC, I have to chose 06.

Yes. You can also install iMovie 6 onto a system with iLife 08 installed.

Optimize iMac for FIOS with Apple Broadband Tuner

I am a recent Mac convert and am trying to optimize my Apple settings for an iMac 27" for Verizon FIOS, I downloaded the Apple Broadband tuner as suggested by Verizon, but do not know how to use it to optimize my settings.
Thank you.

You simply double click on broadband tuner and it sets your sysctl variables to the values shown. I think these buffer values may be outdated at this point.

Apple Broadband Tuner won't install.

I've tried three different download sites. Using Safari.

Mac Mini, Mavericks,
OS X 10.9.1 (13B42)
1-yr old system
2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
I did a Verizon speed test while online, in "MyVerizon". I'm in New York City, Manhattan. DSL service. FiOS not available.
Link to their speedtest: http://my.verizon.com/services/speedtest/
Results: 8.96MB down, 0.75MB up.
"Speed Test is complete, here are the recommendations:
Your computer settings may be slowing you down, select Apple Broadband Tuner to reconfigure your settings and maximize your speeds."
The link takes you to: http://support.apple.com/downloads/Broadband_Tuner_1_0
I downloaded it, and tried to install it. Message: "BroadbandTuner.mpkg" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer."
"...unidentified developer"?
Its from an Apple site!
Anyway, I did a little searching and found this post.
I would like to apply the fix "baltwo" detailed, but I'm not very Mac-terminal-programming savvy.
I got to terminal, logged in and got to this screen:
# Tuning network for broadband
# START
kern.ipc.maxsockbuf=512000
net.inet.tcp.sendspace=131072
net.inet.tcp.recvspace=358400
# END
[ Read 8 lines ]
^G Get Help ^O WriteOut ^R Read File ^Y Prev Page ^K Cut Text ^C Cur Pos

So what I don't understand is where and how to ...
"Add the following lines:
kern.ipc.maxsockbuf=800000
net.inet.tcp.sendspace=400000
net.inet.tcp.recvspace=400000
net.inet.tcp.delayed_ack=0
net.inet.udp.recvspace=131072
Then type CONTROL o - it will ask to save, press return key.
Then type CONTROL x
Restart the computer and Shazam!"
I'm much more comfortable working with pc's, using a command window and entering commands. Even though my first computer was the original 1984 Mac, and still like Mac's, for my business back in the 1980's, I had to go pc, and my learning curve is stuck there. The Mac Terminal interface and commands are totally foreign to me, so if someone could "hold my hand" and walk me through how to make the changes, I'd be much obliged!
And I'm really talking about telling me, keystroke-by-mouse-click, how to do this!
Many thanks and Happy Holidays!

Does OSX 10.6 work with iCloud?

Does OSX 10.6 work with iCloud? Thought I read somewhere that you cannot connect to iCloud if you are running Snow Leopard.

No. You need 10.7.2 or later for iCloud.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
