Downgraded to Leopard from Snow, but now have problems with Library files

I downgraded to Leopard successfully, everything at this point OS wise is working. However, when I go into mail it is asking me to set up a new account. I can see all the info in the mail folder. Same thing goes with Safari. All the bookmarks and everything are in the Library folder, but they will not show up in when loading Safari. It seems as if the files are all there, but the older versions cannot read the data and thinks it is not there. Didn't SL convert the data the first time it was run? Is there a conversion program to take it back to the 10.5.8 version?
Thanks.

1. How exactly did you downgrade to Leopard?
2. Do you have a backup of your data made before you upgraded to Snow Leopard?
Snow Leopard does convert some data files to a format incompatible with Leopard & Apple does not provide a way to convert it back. This is no problem if you have a backup of the files in their former state (especially a clone of the drive or a Time Machine or similar backup), otherwise it is difficult to impossible, depending on the data type.

    I am finding the ability to download previous purchases now shown on my iCloud account to be difficult.  Music appears fine and most movies are OK but I have problems with all music videos included with album purchases.  Any ideas?

    Firstly, I purchased my first iPhone a few years ago, since then there have been a lot of apps released, a lot which I downloaded for free, tried and deleted from both my phone and my iTune 'Apps' Panel. What bothers me is when I do get a new iOS device, iPad and/or iPhone 5, and I don't want to just copy the back-up of my current iOS device to the new one, then to get the apps I want I will have to scroll through countless useless 'trash' applications in my purchase history to 'cloud download' the ones I want.
    Just sync the apps you want from your computer. You don't need to redownload them directly on the iPhone Purchased list.
    Will Apple be employing such a feature, a 'permanently delete/un-purchase' feature?
    Dunno.

    As far as I know debit cards aren't accepted as a valid payment method. There are instructions on this page for how to create an account without giving a credit card number : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Depending upon what country that you in you might be able to buy iTunes gift cards from Apple or other stores (supermarkets, electronics stores etc) and use those to buy items - but they aren't available in all countries, and they are country-specific (they can only be used in their country of issue

  • When installed JDK but I have problem with System vars may install bundle

    When installed JDK but I have problem with System vars may install bundle [netbeans&JDK] WITHOUT UNISTALLING initial JDK or needed uninstall first ?

    With the word 'automatically', yes you do need pulseaudio. I'm sure you could cook up some udev or related rule to do that in Alsa, but pulseaudio would be easier.

  • Downloaded latest update ios 5.1.1.last night - now have problem with my email some being sent others not - any ideas?

    Downloaded latest update for iphone 4 ios 5.1.1. last night - now having problems with my emails - all show being sent - but not being received also no b.c.c. to myself coming up on iphone.  Any ideas?? 

    The passcode settings simply give you the option of having the passcode lock immediately you lock the screen, or after a delay period.  If you set a delay the passcode lock will not activate for the period of the delay.  I have mine set to one minute.  It is a "convenience" measure to save me having to re-enter the passcode if I lock the screen then immediately remember that there was something else I wanted to do.  Obviously this entails a small compromise on security and if you are at all concerned then you should set the passcode to "Immediately".  It really has nothing to do with the camera short-cut (though loads of users seem to have run away with this notion).  It would be the same if you just did "slide to unlock" during the delay period.

    I don't use LR and rarely use the bridge so I can not answers about thumbnails in them,  However thumbnails in windows file explorer and windows dialog for CS2 files will only show if you have installed codec into windows that will produce them. Windows does not do CR2 thumbnails on its own. I use FastPictureViewer Codec package for RAW File and PSD files thunbmail support.

  • Upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard - now have problems with basic apps?

    I have a 2007 iMac (5.1, 2007) dual core. It's capable of running Snow Leopard and Lion (but not, I believe ML).
    I just bought the upgrade SL discs from Apple and installed them as an upgrade, moving up to 10.6.3 (from the discs). After running software update I'm now on 10.6.8.
    Since upgrading I've successfully run Time Machine. However I have the following problems:-
    A bunch of emails were present in the Inbox, but contained no body text - just the subject line. I have managed to since find most of them successfully from TM. This is a minor annoyance but I thought I'd mention it.
    ITunes won't boot up. It booted the first time I tried it, but since then the little icon just bounces up and down.
    Certain apps won't quit properly. I quit from the top menu, but the little blue light remains under the icon in the dock. I then have to 'Force Quit - Application Not Responding' *every time*.
    Safari frequently won't load up bookmarked or seach pages, the progress bar gets stuck part way across and I stare at the rainbow pinwheel for ages, before having to quit, then Force Quit, then restart Safari and try again.
    Now, I'm tempted to do a Clean Install, but after four international moves (Singapore-Australia-UK-Canada) I no longer have any of the original discs, and thus as I understand it will lose iLife. And iLife 11 needs Lion.
    I've done a disc permissions repair thing via the Mac Disc Utility. I've run a few clean-up operations via Onyx.
    Any suggestions gratefully received. My Mac as been running great for years, but this upgrade has been extremely disappointing thus far.
    thanks

    Hi baltwo
    Many thanks for your advice. I've read all the links and will be buying a 2nd external HD to do a SuperDuper back up. I already had a 1Tb drive with Maxtor back up on it, and I also managed to get a Time Machine back up as well, so at least my data should be safe.
    Qn - If I back up the System and Utility folders as well as the Home folder, I don't suppose I can restore them after an install and everything (eg iLife) will 'just work'?
    Anyway, I went straight from Tiger to Snow Leopard. I don't have any Tiger discs either (see reasons above) so now have no way of restoring original set up. I tried to boot from the SL install CD and then hold 'C' but must be getting something wrong as I don't get the Disk Utility pop up. It just boots as normal to the desktop.
    Anyway, via the normal Disc Utitlity I've done a Repair Permissions again with no major issues. However, my Onyx software now won't run at all so I can't clean any caches a second time.
    I've contacted the Apple rep who sold be the SL discs but she's not got back to me yet re iLife.
    This weekend I'm going to try a fresh upgrade. If that fails I'll try Erase and Install, if I can get the 'C' button timing right. I'll update if I have any successs.
    cheers

  • I now have problems with downloading, particularly when downloading books to Adobe digital. How do I fix this?

    I recently put in a lot of software updates that I had not done before. Previously, I could download a book to Adobe Digital with no problem. Now, it tries to download to Adobe reader. I don't know how to correct this. I did check and I still have the same version of Adobe Digital that I had before.

    AHA, you have Firmware password protection in Mac OS X , disable it & try Option/alt...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1352
    It would block usage of all the startup keys, like C, N, T, D, CMD+s, CMD+Option+p+r, CMD +v, Option, and Shift, as well as booting from anything but the Hard Drive.

  • Replacement iPhone 5 now have problem with carrier unlock

    I purchased a new iPhone 5 on release day about year and a half ago from Rogers Wireless. A week later Apple replaced the phone because of a problem with the microphone.
    Now I'm trying to buy out my contract with Rogers and pay to have the phone unlocked but they're telling me that the imei of the phone doesn't match the one they have on record.
    Rogers can't help unless I can prove that Apple replaced the phone.
    Apple won't help over the phone unless I purchase a 1 time service contract for $35.
    I can't get into the genius bar at the store that did the swap until next week but I really need this done before the weekend.
    I'm really at my wits end with this. Hoping there is someone on here that can help me out.

    Call AppleCare back and ask to be transferred to Customer Service then explain the problem to them.

  • Forced to buy PE6 - now have Problems with it.

    I just bought a new iMac w Panther so I was forced to purchase PE6 (because my old Photoshop won't run on it and I didnt want to pay $700 to upgrade) and am having major problems with it. Specifically, no matter what I do, my Epson scanner driver (or twain) will not show up as an option to import. I've downloaded nice fresh Epson drivers from the internet too - so they're on my computer ready to be read and imported. But they just dont show up!! I know my scanner is compatible because I've used with Photoshop 7 for years. Any advice how to get it to import?!

    Also, Epson has been a sluggard for years writing proper drivers for the Mac, both for their printers and their scanners, which is why I switched to Canon. Evidently the Epson drivers are problematic for Elements 6 running on Leopard on an Intel machine. See Barbara Brundage's comments here:
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.59b59d0b
    I believe that in your comments in another thread you said you got Image Capture to work with the scanner. If that is the case, just use Image Capture to do you scans, save each one and then open the files with Elements to edit.

  • Applied SP 13 but now have issues with Track deploy

    We recently applied SP 13 to NWDI (we were at SP10).
    I re-imported my track into NWDS, made a change to code and activated it.
    The track was configured to allow auto-deploy to dev runtime.
    While the activation resulted in a successful build by CBS (I checked CBS log) the application was not deployed to the dev runtime.
    I had no issue with this before applying SP 13.
    Any ideas?

    Dean,
    Go to the Landscape configurator in the CMS (http://<hostname>:<port>/devinf/ ).
    Click on the track that is affected and then click on the Runtime Systems tab.
    Is the "Disable automatic deployment" checked? If so, uncheck it.
    Next, take a look at the build request queue, you may have some entries pending.

  • (06 Oct 14) updated firefox and Kaspersky, now have problems with Barclays site - firefox "not responding" and plugin error on trying to close. Help!

    Updated Kaspersky to 15.0.0.463(a) - ( comes with "safe money" - now turned off).
    Updated Firefox from (old) version to 32.0.3.
    Barclays bank site loads properly, and allows access to accounts BUT when I try to look at a statement, Firefox "not responding" and a blank/ unresponsive page is displayed.
    In order to acheive any movement I have to close firefox... this gives rise to windows wanting to send error data, and Firefox apologising for loosing the tab.
    None of which allows me to do essential banking transactions.
    It is this machine that has the problem - I can access without problems via work computer (using google Chrome)

    My guess is that your statement is a PDF document, since banks and other companies often use that format for statements.
    Firefox has various options for viewing PDFs, including a built-in PDF viewer (not as full featured as Adobe's), or the option to use a plugin such as Adobe Acrobat, or to launch the PDF in an external application. This article describes how to experiment with that setting: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].
    On another subject, your plugin list has various plugins described as "Google Chrome Extension". I haven't seen that before. Could you review the list and see whether they really should be active in Firefox or can be deactivated?
    Open the Add-ons page using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Plugins.
    For those that are not essential, I suggest changing them to "Never Activate". This might not take effect immediately in that window, but should disable them in new windows.

  • My computer was stolen. Now have problems with the activation

    My computer got stolen, so I set up an interim solution where I installed the Creative Suite. Now I have a new computer but I am getting activation error messages for the Creative Suite on it.
    How can I deactivate the instance from my stolen computer? I would not like to deactivate the instance on te interim solution until all is working properly on my new one.
    I have a police report about the theft.

    Since you don't have access to the original computer you may have to contact Customer Support to deactivate and reactivate. See http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html
