Downgrading from tiger to 10.3.9. best way to do this ?
hello !
just got a new g5 dual 2.3 (not core) and i dont want anything to do with tiger ! (running lots of software that does not play nice with tigers..)
what is the best way to downgrade to 10.3.9 ?
thanks !
Hi csw, to "downgrade" to OS 10.3.9 you must first erase your entire drive, then install 10.3.x from the install disk and update to 10.3.9 with the 10.3.9 Stand Alone Combo Update
Do not use the disks that shipped with another Mac as these disks are model specific but rather the full retail Panther install disks.

I have just purchased an iphone 4 and it needs me to have the latest itunes on my computer. I have not upgraded by computer for some time and thought this is probably the time to do it. My computer is an imac intel with Tiger 10.4.11. I want to upgrade my Imac from tiger 10.4.11 to Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard or higher. What is the best way to do this? Appreciate any help as I am out of practice. I used to be an old hand at this, but things have moved on since I didn't upgrade or use my computer as much!

The best way, really the only way, is to purchase Snow Leopard.
Online (UK): http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Elsewhere: call the phone number in the Apple Online Store.
Apple's price is $19.99, £14.00, €18.
Snow Leopard is not available to download from any legitimate source.
Once you install Snow Leopard, upgrade iTunes to version 10.7 or the latest, iTunes 11.
iTunes 10.6.3 is the last version of iTunes to support Mac computers with Mac OS X 10.5.8 with either Intel or PowerPC processors, but since you have an Intel iMac, the best solution is to purchase Snow Leopard. Leopard is no longer available from Apple and prices from aftermarket vendors can be unreasonably high. -
Upgrade Safari 1.2 to 1.3.1 after downgrade from Tiger to Panther
I wished to restore performance to my G3 iBook by downgrading from Tiger to Panther, and have been successful with that and have restored all apps to Panther versions except for Safari. The downgrade (archive and install) left Safari 2.0 on my HD for some reason, which of course wouldn't launch under 10.3.9. I dragged Safari 2 to the trash, downloaded Safari 1.2 which installed fine. However when I try to upgrade now to 1.3.1, I am told by the installer that the software cannot be used with the disc volume (the system volume) I choose to install to.
(BTW, invoking Software Update says my software is all up to date, even though I'm only on Safari 1.2.)
I've seen the other threads which have suggested removing Safari pkg receipts from /library/receipts, but this hasn't helped me in this case; I can't find any thread that had a successful resolution yet. Anything else anyone can suggest? Many thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You can try using Pacifist to extract Safari from your install disk and install it. You may then be able to upgrade it more easily, although I can't promise that for sure.
Unless you are absolutely wedded to Safari, I find Camino to be at least as good (I think better) as Safari, and looks almost identical, so that there should not be much of a learning curve. I also use Firefox and especially like it for the measure of security it provides.
Please do not hesitate to post back with further questions or comments.
Good luck.

I need to move my library from my old computer to my new laptop (Windows 8). What's the best way to do this?
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

I am moving from Southern California to Maui, Hawaii and I need to figure out the best way to get my 24 inch iMac across the ocean. Does anyone know the best way to do this? I have found GearGrip's LCD harness so that I can do carry-on onto the plane... Or maybe use a Pelican Case to do it as a "checked bag"? Or any other suggestions??! Please help!
Thanks so much!!I don't recommend you send the iMac in a checked bag. Might get damaged.
Check the airlines website for carry on guidelines.
Or, if you have the original box that the iMac came in, if you have someone who can pick up the iMac for you, send it ahead Fed Ex and insure the package.
Just make sure the display is covered to protect it. A blanket perhaps.

I plan to upgrade from OS10.5.8 to Snow Leopard. Will all my data, applications and settings transfer automatically?
If I need to back up what is the best way to do this?If everything works perfectly, your data should not be touched.
Personally I never trust my data to everything working perfectly.
I always backup everything twice at least. -

I'd like Time Machine to backup my personal account's files separately from my guest account's files. Both have big files. What's the best way to do this? Should I connect 2 external HD to my new iMac, one for each account?
NeuroBrain wrote:
Since my new external hard drive is have a lot of space, I'm thinking of splitting it for Time Machine and external storage.
This is a common mistake and I highly advise against it.
1: TimeMachine saves states of changes and thus requires more room on the TM drive than the boot drive it's backing up.
2: Something happens to the TM drive, loss, theft, dropped, power surge, etc., you lose both backups.
3: The storage drive might become a portable need, with it being on the TM drive, now your increasing the risk to the TM backup that something could happen to it along with the storage drive, due to increased movement.
Seriously, have a read,

I have spent a lot of time saving, organizing and arranging photos (for the last 7 years) on my PC, and would like to know the best way to transfer these, AND MAINTAIN THE ORGANIZATION OF THE FOLDERS, to my new ipad (and later, my iphone). I have a really good system, and I do not want to have to do it all over again, on the ipad. I DO NOT want to subscribe to another monthly service fee (i.e. the iCloud) but DO have iTunes on my PC.
What is the simplest method to do this ? I have tried synching, but, each time have lost photos (on my ipad) OR have had NO ORGANIZATION AT ALL to the photos once synced. I have all these photos (5.6gb) in the My Pictures folder, then subdivided into years, then subdivided into events and months within the years. So, my transfer of the My Picures folder, completely transfers all of them, but with NO further organization. Again, I have spent years doing this, and don't want to have to re-invent the wheel.
Can someone advise (or even better, lead me to a youtube video) that accurately shows the best way to do this ?
Thank you, in advance, for your help.
p.s. I particularly enjoy Dan Nations very informative articles on how to get the best from my products. And, wish Apple would explain "how it works" regarding the syncing methods on the Operating System. It is the only thing I "don't get" about using my iPad..... meanwhile I LOVE my new mini ! ! ! ! ! ! ! thanks Apple, for keeping things simple.... Please don't change that !Correct, it will only be one-level, the Photos app doesn't support sub-albums - the sub-folders photos will be included in the parent's album.
If you select My Pictures at the top of the Photos tab when syncing, then you should get an album for each folder that is directly under it - so if I understand correctly what you described then that would mean an album for 2013, one for 2012 etc. And each of those should include all the photos in the subfolders under it - so 2013 would include the photos from the events and months subfolders under it.
You can't sync them separately, only the contents of the last sync remains on the iPad, by not including a folder in the next photo sync you are effectively telling iTunes that you no longer want that folder/album on the iPad so it will be removed and be replaced by the contents of the new sync (you can't delete synced photos directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next sync).
The app that I use, Photo Manager Pro, allows you to select and copy a folder (via FTP), but you would need to select each subfolder individually, which if you have a lot would be time-consuming (I think that if you select '2013' it would ignore the folders beneath it). -

What's the best way for reading this binary file?
I've written a program that acquires data from a DAQmx card and writes it on a binary file (attached file and picture). The data that I'm acquiring comes from 8 channels, at 2.5MS/s for, at least, 5 seconds. What's the best way of reading this binary file, knowing that:
-I'll need it also on graphics (only after acquiring)
-I also need to see these values and use them later in Matlab.
I've tried the "Array to Spreadsheet String", but LabView goes out of memory (even if I don't use all of the 8 channels, but only 1).
LabView 8.6
Solved!
Go to Solution.

AcquireWrite02.vi 15 KB
myvi.jpg 55 KBBut my real problem, at least now, is how can I divide the information to get not only one graphic but eight?
I can read the file, but I get this (with only two channels):
So what I tried was, using a for loop, saving 250 elements in different arrays and then writing it to the .txt file. But it doesn't come right... I used 250 because that's what I got from the graphic: at each 250 points it plots the other channel.
Am I missing something here? How should I treat the information coming from the binary file, if not the way I'm doing?
(attached are the .vi files I'm using to save in the .txt format)
(EDITED. I just saw that I was dividing my graph's data in 4 just before plotting it... so It isn't 250 but 1000 elements for each channel... Still, the problem has not been solved)

I've replaced my 10.5.8 with another machine 10.6.8 which as we know doesn't support Apple Talk which has been used to print to 2 bulletproof older printers and an imagesetter. I wan't to keep using the printers and can use the 10.5.8 as a server. What is the best way to do this?
Hi
You could do this a number of ways. Using the LPD Daemon might work best for your location?
First: assign the machine you're going to use as the 10.5.8 'server' a fixed IP address.
Second: add desired printers to that machine using the usual methods.
Once added share them using the Print Sharing option in the Sharing Preferences Pane. On the 10.6.8 machine add the printer using the IP address of the 10.5.8 'server'.
System Preferences > Print & Fax and click the '+' icon. Click on the IP Icon and key in the IP address you previously assigned. Leave the Queue field alone and select the relevant PPD from the Print Using field (see below). You'll have to search for these yourself.
You don't have to 'install' the PPDs on the 10.6.8 machine as such. Simply copying them over from their location on the 10.5.8 machine (use a memory stick to do the transfer) to the same location on the 10.6.8 machine will be enough.
There should be no need to restart.
HTH?

Whats the best way to expose this in memory database? (ArrayList)
Hello everyone.
I was looking for advice on how I should implement this...currently I have the following ArrayList that stores ClassEntity objects. I'm going to write 2 classes that need to access this ClassEntity Object arrayList because they are goign to use these objects to spit out 2 different files.
I didn't want to make the database public and static though.
Here's a snippet of my current class that populates and creates the arrayList data structure:
public class RODMFileParser
//used to keep file information
ClassEntity classEntity = null;
//used to store ClassEntity objects
List<ClassEntity> classEntityList = new ArrayList<ClassEntity>();
//used to store the conversion table RODM->ENGLISH/ENGLISH->RODM
ConversionTableParser convTableParser = new ConversionTableParser();
else if(line.contains("Field Value "))
//now we can create a new Entity Class object! tricky! huh
classEntityList.add(new ClassEntity(idClassName, idFieldName,
englishClassName, englishFieldName, fieldType));
Iterator listIter = classEntityList.iterator();
while(listIter.hasNext())
ClassEntity tempObj = (ClassEntity) listIter.next();
System.out.println(tempObj);
}So now classEntityList has all the objects I need to create these 2 seperate files but these 2 files are dramtically different. What would be the best way at exposing this classEntityList ArrayList so my 2 other classes can access it?
Thanks!well if I made it non-static, wouldn't I have to create a new object of that class in each class I want to use it in?
for example, that class that populates the database must parse a file to create the database.
RODMFileParser file = new RODMFileParser();
file.parseFile("QAGENT");So inside each class I would have to do this wouldn't I? if I made it public static, wouldn't I only have to read to the disk once?
Putting it to a worst case say, 100 classes need this database, that means I would have to make 100 accesses to the disk woulnd't it?
And if it was public static, it would jsut return a copy of the database that was only read from the disk once or am I misunderstanding how it works? -
Is this possible and the best way to approach this?
hello all, back again with more questions
What I would like to do is load an external swf (preloader) into a container swf, when the preloader swf is loaded, run code from the preloader's document class that will check to see if the container swf is fully loaded. Once the container swf is fully loaded, load in another swf and unload the preloader swf.
I would like to keep all code in external classes and off timelines while creating a situation where I can load this preloader swf into any parent swf and do that check. is this possible and the best way to approach this?
any advice/help would be great.Why not just do it the more straightforward/normal way and use the preloader to load your other files? The preloader would load the 'container' you have now, and when it's done load the other swf you mentioned.
