Found another Leopard install failure

I bought the family pac to put pn my 4 Macs. I proceeded to install first on my oldest machine "in case". It is an blue G3 upgraded to a G4 with new chipset etc. Running at 1.2Ghz/2Gb ram and 2- 160gb HD. After going through the install twice I still end up with a machine that boots and immediately shuts down, can even get the command-S to work beyond a few lines on reboot. I've had to re-install Tiger twice just to have something to work with. I am now hesitant to move to my G4 PowerBook, or MacBook Pro, or iMac.
Any way to get the blue box to run Leopard?

Hi jcaruso-
Considering that particular machine is not supported I am not surprised.
Apple does not support upgraded CPUs. I think that there may be workarounds but it may be best to try it out on a supported machine first.

  • Leopard Install Failure: Message "saProxy crashed"

    Trying to install Leopard Server on a G5 XServe. I reformatted/erased disk before installing. Everything appeared to go okay, after installing machine restarted for initial set-up, I entered serial, personal info, network info etc and after reviewing the entries clicked apply.
    Candy-bar appeared and message read "please wait momentarily while server is configured". The candy-bar moves along around 95% and then doesn't progress any further. About 20-30 minutes later a message appears stating "Back end tool saProxy crashed". Then message " Recommend manual restart otherwise machine will automatically restart in 20 seconds". Sure enough machine restarts and goes back to the Server Set-up screen.
    This process is repeated each time I try to configure it and there is no way out of the loop without a hard shutdown. Has anyone got any ideas on the cause?
    I will do another reformat and clean install but I want to avoid a repeat of this problem.

    I encountered this problem while installing Leopard Server on a G5 and G4 XServe. Only once did I catch the error message before it had disappeared off the screen (by automatic restart).
    The solution? I logged into Single-User Mode and created the zero-length hidden file /private/var/db/.AppleSetupDone by using the touch command.
    This can only be done after the first go-round of Setup Assistant, otherwise you'll have no user account.
    Follow these steps, press [Return] after each line (2, 3, 4 only).
    1) Boot XServe into Single-user Mode by holding Apple-S while powering on.
    2) Keep holding Apple-S until you see the Apple logo turn into a black screen w/ white text.
    3) Mount the root drive: *mount -uw /*
    4) Touch the file: *touch /private/var/db/.AppleSetupDone*
    5) Reboot the server: reboot
    This hidden file instructs the OS to skip the Welcome / Setup Assistant and go straight to login.

  • Yet Another iTunes Install Failure

    Before you refer me to other topics, please hear me out. I have looked at many of them, and their problems have been solved. Mine? Nope. I just started a topic about my iPod not being recognized by iTunes, but this time I installed AppleMobileDeviceSupport then installed iTunes. This version is different, judging by the install screen. Just like my other computer, the installer finishes and says "The Installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured." I hate this! It happens to me everytime. I tried reinstalling, deleting the installer and re-downloading, using the Windows Program Cleaner software, etc. but same thing.
    I'm hoping for a response by the next Super Bowl... XD
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm just ready for all these errors to stop happening!

    If it makes you feel any better I am having the same exact issues, and I've tried everything I can too. After reading about people's libraries disappearing though, maybe I don't want to upgrade!!!

  • Airport Extreme not found after Leopard install

    I have internet, I can access my External drive connected to my Airport Extreme but when I run the Airport Utility, it can't "find" my Airport Extreme. The utility can only find my Express so I unplugged it and now it can't find anything. It's weird because everything works. I want to access the base station to make changes to ports. Can you help?

    I used my Tiger-equipped iBook G4 and checked the Airport Utility from there. Sure enough, there was an available update. After I updated, everything worked just fine. Except, for some reason, I can get my Airport Drive to load on Leopard's desktop. I can live with that.

  • Is it possible to make a copy of the Leopard install DVD?

    Is it possible to make a copy of the Leopard install DVD? If so, is there a special way this has to be done? I just found out that we needed to use the Leopard install DVD to recover a complete backup from Time Machine after a recent hard drive failure. We have the family pack of Leopard, so I would like to keep the original at home and send a copy when my daughter goes off to college in case she needs to recover again. Her machine was originally a Tiger MacBook, so those install disks will not work. If it is not possible to copy the DVD, is there a way to create a bootable utility to do a time machine recovery?

    This half-solved my problem. I have had no problems creating a backup copy for my intel based computers, but non-intel based computers are problematic; a G5 powermac tower and a G4 Powerbook. Both with super drives for single density burning. Both have Leopard running, installed from an install disc purchased from Apple. However, neither will mount the copy, but intel based computers will. have burnt/burned with both toast 9 and Disc Utility. Discs won't mount and are "spit out" by the drive.

    Suggestions? thanks.

    Issue resolved with the help of Adobe Support (Mercer).  My problem had been seen in another machine, there were empty folders in the Fonts Folder (Hard Drive>Library>Fonts) that the installer could not reconcile or delete, that was hanging up the Installer.
    My fix was to delete the following empty folders from the Fonts Folder:
    AdobeMingStd-Light.otf
    BickhamScriptPro-Regular.otf
    KozMinPro-Regular.otf
    MyriadPro-BoldCond.otf
    TektonPro-BoldCond.otf
    And then re-run the installer (be sure to empty the trash).
    My advice would be to first read the installer log and look for names of font folders that could not be resolved, then dump those.  Another way would be to dump any empty folders in the Fonts Folder, empty the trash, then re-sun the installer.

  • Basic Snow Leopard install with special customization:  setup assistant infinite loop problem.

    Hi, all,
    Based on this post: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1395118?start=0&tstart=0, I'm assuming there's a problem with setup assistant running after a customization install reboot.  But I could be wrong.
    Here are the details:
    MacBook Pro
    Clean OS X Snow Leopard install (I was "told" by IT I had to wipe the disk and re-install OS X after backing up personal files).
    Installed extras I need/want (in particular, XCode, though I went ahead with the other optional software as well).
    Installed the IT supplied "Supplemental CompanyName Installation Disc" (also referred to as "CompanyName Supplemental Installation Disc" ), which is supposed to create a customized, IT supported, setup.
    When the supplemental install is done, the system is rebooted.
    There is then a "Welcome" screen (starscape, with almost endless bombardment of the word welcome in various languages), finally followed by:
    a) select language; b) select keyboard; c) select timezone; d) Don't forget to register your Mac, with a "done" button.
    Clicking the "done" button goes to a blank grey screen. and then loops back to redo the "Welcome/language/keyboard/done" sequence, ad nauseum (that is, infinitely repeated).
    Per the above mentioned post, I have rebooted to the Install DVD and run disk utility, repairing permissions.  No difference on reboot.
    Boot to safe mode goes to the same setup assistant sequence, not a login screen.
    Another Mac user here suggested checking for /var/db/.applesetupdone, since missing it, or if it's correupt, could cause this problem.
    So I booted to single user and checked for this file.  It is not there.  On the off chance the file is a simple flag and the content doesn't matter,
    I did fsck/remount and touch /var/db/.applesetupdone but this did not change anything either.
    Presumably, the file must be present and must contain some data.  If this is true, can it be created manually and put in place via single user mode?
    Or are there other, better solutions someone could suggest?
    Many thanks.
    Bob

    Ah, it seems I finally found something useful, at http://hintsforums.macworld.com/showthread.php?t=84825
    One of the responders supplied the content of their .applesetupdone file.
    I was able to get this onto my Mac, in /var/db, as .applesetupdone (just to be safe, I linked that name to .AppleSetupDone, the name as mentioned on the above site).  Note that both names begin with a dot (hidden, in UNIX parlance).
    On reboot I was presented with the CompanyName specific login screen.  It took a little bit more mucking around with passwords, but I was eventually able to login without any problem.

  • Have i found another big bug? from 2nd monitor profile bug to Exp panel bug

    Well 2.0.1 is out and i was hoping for a fix for the second monitor color profile bug ... but no, not yet.
    But guess what .. i think i have found another little treat.
    Ok here we go, click on the Exposure, Recovery or Black Point sliders (but don't move them), notice anything?
    On my system as soon as you click, the shadows block up. Take your finger of the button and they shadows go back to normal.
    Next .. click and slide, when the button is down... blocked shadows again, release the button and shadows open up.
    This also happens in the White balance panel.
    Also we still have the tint slider problem, click it and it jumps the tint.
    The exposure and white balance problem only happens in full screen mode.
    It happens on my second monitor when running in mirror or alternate (or any other of the settings)
    If i press the F key and go full screen on my macbook pro, the same thing happens on the macbook's screen.
    Press the Z key to zoom to 100% and the problem goes away on either screen.
    But get this ..... click any of the sliders in the Enhance panel before going to the Exposure panel (you don't have to move them), then go back to the exposure panel and...EVERYTHING FINE.....whaaaaaaat.
    So now i have a second monitor with dodgy colors and an exposure panel glitch.
    Thought this was an update!!!
    Anyone else got this problem?
    Oh, just to add, i have deleted pref files, deleted aperture altogether, re-installed 2.0 and 2.0.1, rebuilt library, tried on another library...all with no joy.
    Sigh

  • Leopard install disks being scratched during install

    I have had a couple of very strange experiences trying to install Leopard (upgrading from 10.4.10).
    I initially ordered (at a special price) and received a Leopard disk under the program whereby I had purchased my MacBook Pro within the month prior to Leopard being issued. When I attempted the install, it moved along fine and then midway hung and finally said the install had failed--disk unreadable. I was unable to start up at all. Couldn't even eject the disk. Finally got it out. Did a clean install of 10.4. Reinstalled all my many programs and was determined to NOT use Leopard.
    A few days later I looked at the Leopard disk and found that rings had been "scratched" or "worn" into the data surface as though my DVD reader/player had malfunctioned and been in contact with the disk surface. I was horrified and quickly looked at all my other program disks just used for the reinstallations, afraid the DVD player had ruined them too. They were all ok. This lead me to believe that perhaps the Leopard disk was bad even before I put it in my computer. I called Apple. They issued a new disk with barely a comment.
    Well, I finally got around to doing an install of Leopard with the new DVD. I looked carefully at the disk first. No apparent ring scratches. The install worked--really slowly--but it finished and works fine.
    However, when I ejected the disk, I took a look and, sure enough...the data side had rings scratched (or worn) into it as though my DVD player had been in contact during the installation process! They were not there before the install. This has NEVER happened with any of the other MANY installation disks (or disks I've burned) on this computer but has now occured TWICE with the Leopard install disk!!!! WHAT'S GOING ON?????
    Has anyone else seen this issue?

    You might see what happens if you play a movie DVD. Use an old one. Be sure to play it through the switch point to the second layer.
    You problem may be that optical drive is damaging dual-layer DVDs for some obscure reason.
    Most of the other installation disks you used were probably single-layer disks.
    It might also be that the Leopard DVD is a bit thicker than a standard DVD. Check the thickness.
    If you do get another replacement DVD I suggest making a backup immediately.
    You might also be able to copy the scratched DVD on another machine, but it has to had a DL burner. Sometimes copying a scratched DVD will work, since the copying process re-reads bad areas many times.
    If you do get another DVD, use an external drive until you are sure why this is happening.

    I have an NT4 Server (service pack2).

    No Forte.
    I've successfully installed on other NT station machines,

    Hi Matthew,
    firrst of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
    unfortunately you do not give us any information about your system. Please fill in your system's details in "My public profile" in the right sidebar of this page. We need to know as much as possible about your system in order to help (especially: exact type of Mac you use, current system version, RAM, 3rd-party cards)!
    Before you start please confirm you have the retail full install DVD! You cannot use hardware specific disks that shipped with another computer.
    Repair permissions cannot do it's duty without a bootable system installed. Therefore an empty partition is always grayed out.
    Did you upgrade your firmware before you reformated: Mac OS X: Chart of Available Firmware Updates?
    Make sure you format your disk as "Apple Extended (Journalled)".

  • Please HELP!  Why won't Leopard install on my eMac?

    When I put the Leopard DVD in my eMac it does not recognize it at all. I don't hear the drive running, and nothing pops up on the desktop. Altho it is an older machine, it meets all of the system requirements: 1GHz, 640MB, PowerPC G4, with plenty of hard drive space! I've tried to reboot and install, I've tried reboot and hold the C key to install... nothing works! I even put in another DVD just to make sure that the optical drive is still working properly... it played just fine.
    I've read everything that I can about installing but haven't found anything that addresses this. I did see one article that said that Leopard cannot be installed on UFS(?)-formatted volumes. Can anyone tell me how I would find out whether I'm affected by that or not? Also, when I tried it in my iBook G4, it popped right up... what's the deal?!
    PLEASE HELP! I'M SOOOO FRUSTRATED!! Thanx in advance!

    Hi There...
    So, I currently have a CD read/write and DVD player combo drive... should that be able to read the Leopard Install DVD? I don't understand why my iBook G4, 1GHz with 256MB will read it, but my eMac G$, 1GHz, 640MB won't!
    I would suspect that your optical drive is not functioning properly. While the drive is most likely capable of reading DL DVDs, it may not be working right. See if you can skip through a full DL DVD movie on the drive with zero errors. Be sure to include both layers meaning go past the 2-hour point.
    The target mode is another solution, but even if you install it, you won't be able to fix it or do anything that requires the DVD unless you fix that first.
    I will try to install it using the "target mode" with a firewire and see if it works, unless anyone has any other suggestions for me... thanx.

    Hi Neill
    Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/PubSub.framework/Versions/A/PubSub
    Per the above, your computer is missing a critical OS X file. Do you have another machine with OS X Leopard installed? If you do, I'll give instructions for copying that file from one machine to another.
    If not:
    If you have another browser installed, such as Firefox, download and run the 10.5.1 Update. If you don't have access to another browser, I suggest you pay a visit to an Apple Store or a certified Apple Tech location to assist you with these suggestions.
    After the Install/restart of the Update, "repair permissions" etc. Do not use the computer while the update is running. Restart Safari. (you might get lucky if the update adds the file to your system).
    If no go, then I suggest reinstalling the OS using the Archive and Install method.

    I was able to Archive and Install while Preserving Users and Settings, by hooking up a second MacBook and booting the first in Target Disk mode. I used the working MacBook and it was able to boot from the same Leopard disk and install to the MacBook that had errors.
    This sounds like a H/W failure on the one machine, would guess either hard drive or MLB. Anyone have any other ideas?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions,
    Unfortunately disk utility is not recognising my Leopard install DVD which is on an
    external LG drive (USB type 1.X) using patchbay.
    eMac PPC G4 700mHz 700mHz 256mb
    2 issues-
    1)I don't know what "patchbay" is, and I don't know why the Install DVD didn't show up in Disk Utility, but even if it did show up there, most PPC Macs won't boot from a USB device - it needs to be FireWire.
    2) Leopard requires a minimum of 512 MB RAM

    I was given advice to re-install these programs, but that ended up deleting iPhoto, which is another issue I am now dealing with. I tried re-installing iLife09 from the receipt file but it told me that I must have Mac OS 10.5.5 or higher, I have 10.6:
    This is really bugging me, not sure what to do. Everything was working fine up until the Snow Leopard install. I also do not have the entire computer backed up anywhere, just my music and important documents so using Time Machine isn't an option unfortunately.
    Please help!

    IMO, you have only one realistic option if you want to try to fix things as they stand (ignoring iPhoto) (i.e., without doing and erase and install and having an original iLife install DVD). Try a repair install of Sno by installing Sno over Sno as in an upgrade install. Such an install, while usually very safe, still is an install so be appropriated backed up if you proceed. You will need to reinstall the 10.6.2 combo updater.
    If this approach does not work, then I think that you have lost the iLife apps unless you have a related original install DVD. If you do, then you can do an erase and install of Sno and reinstall the iLife apps.
    Another possibility is to do an archive and install. Generally speaking, such an install is not very likely to yield an acceptable installation. Under your circumstances, I would say their is only a tiny probability that you would end up with a decent install.

  • DSC Extension install failure

    Hello,
    I am seeing this DSC install failure in the log when I call the Set-AzureVMDscExtension during a create vm call. This issue is not occurring all the time, seems to be intermittent. Digging some more I found the WMF 5 install is happening before the DSC extension
    and looks like there is a 5 minute retry for the WMF install to complete. If the install takes more than 5 minutes the code flow does not write the install-completed.dsc file to the DSCWork folder.
    In order to test this hypothesis, I ran the install.cmd and enable.cmd manually after the saw this install failure, and at that point I see the install-rebootneeded.dsc file being generated in the DSCWork folder and the machine is restarted and the DSC execution
    continues after the machine reboot and everything works as expected. If I am right with my hypothesis on the problem, how can I increase the retry limit for the WMF install to more than 5 minutes? I saw another thread which attributes the same failure to securing
    PSCredentials object when calling the DSC install. At this point, I would like to know how other people in the forum got past this issue, This is really blocking my install workflow right now. Appreciate any inputs!
    Execution Error:
    C:\Packages\Plugins\Microsoft.Powershell.DSC\1.5.0.0\bin\enable.ps1 : Error enabling the DSC Extension: The DSC Extension was
    not installed correctly, please check the logs on the VM.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your question. Based on my experience, there is no direct way to change the retry time limitation for installing WMF. Maybe some scripts would achieve that.
    Besides, can you install DSC in Azure preview portal instead of running Azure PowerShell cmdlets?  You can upload and install the script in Azure Preview portal for the VM to see if the issue persists. More information, you can refer to the link below:
    Manage the PowerShell DSC Extension in the Azure Preview Portal
    Best regards,
    Susie
