From Tiger to Leopard. And back to Tiger...
hi =)
i was running tiger 10.4.10.
i upgraded to leopard quite smoothly.
then i installed the 10.5.1 update.
all went downhill from there on. i always verify/repair permissions + check HD before and after each installation, in addition to running the extended hardware test.
this evening, i finally gave up on leopard, erased my HD and reinstalled everything from the DVDs that came with my macbook (bringing me back to 10.4.8), as leopard could not install due to the macbook crashing all the time during installation (thank you 10.5.1).
i then ran my bootable clone external harddrive using superduper (thank you for backups!) to erase the HD and clone itself on the HD.
so basically, i am back to where i was before the leopard upgrade, i.e. in 10.40.
no data loss of any kind and all applications have updated smoothly, etc.
question:
considering the hassle experienced with 10.5.1 under leopard, and now that everything is running fine, should i tempt faith with the 10.4.11 update? or wait for the next one?
i might reinstall leopard eventually, as that upgrade went smoothly. it was only the 10.5.1 that created havoc.
thank you for your thoughts =)

hi barry
and thank you for the message.
i am using a USB modem to connect to the net when in the office, as access to some websites (myspace notably) is blocked on our company network.
these USB modems and their related software proposed here in swizerland are still only compatible up to 10.4.10.
so i might hold off on the 10.4.11 upgrade or going back to leopard until all non-apple applications i use (USB modem + superduper mainly) are compatible.
for superduper, i was manually updating all important files and folders on the lacie eyternal disk, so as not to lose its bootable capacity, which would have been lost by running superduer with leopard.
worked well, but a little time consuming =)
patience is the game sometimes.

I just upgraded my older G5 from tiger to leopard and it is now at 10.5.8, I was unaware that the new system did not support the classic envoirnment and cannot access my 6.0 version of Photoshop, which I use often...how do I get P.S. up and going again?
Niel...
I installed Leopard 10.5.6 and then it upgraded to 10.5.8, when I installed it I had the old info saved to a "previous systems" folder, where most of my artwork, etc. were saved, I have a one terabyte Lacie backup that unfortunately did not work as it was intended...it saved the new info and not the old. I did look into the system preferences folder and found the classic file, of course it wouldn't launch...but I have the old G 5 startup discs and will try to do it as you stated. I will try also to move it out of the previous folders file to my hard drive and see how that works.
thank you for your time and help,

I have upgraded from tiger to leopard and seem to have lost Photoshop 7.0. Is it possible to retrieve it
Photoshop 7.0 only goes as far as 10.4.11
If you have a drive, you can put 10.4.11 on it or a partition of it
and save some money.
I am not convinced the upgrade is worth it,
but I just do simple things. -

Convert image from RGB to CMYK and back to RGB
Hey.
I wonder if anyone has experience with converting image from RGB to CMYK and back to RGB?
I had a TIF in RGB then converted to CMYK but I figured that it might be better to keep in RGB, so I converted back. I read that it supposed to cause some loss in the data, but I can't see anything on the image, it is still very huge and the 2 RGB files has the same size as well. Is there a way to compare the resolution of 2 images somehow, or how can I see what I lost through the 2 conversions?
Thanks for helpI had a TIF in RGB then converted to CMYK but I figured that it might be better to keep in RGB, so I converted back.
The original RGB data is not being restored by converting from the CMYK version, so the term "keep" seems inappropriate.
What are the actual Color Spaces (ICC profiles) involved?
Is there a way to compare the resolution of 2 images somehow, or how can I see what I lost through the 2 conversions?
How did resolution come into this?
To determine how large a portion of the image has been changed you could
• make a flattened copy of the original image
• place a flattened copy of the RGB->CMYK->RGB image on top of that and set it to Blend Mode Difference
• add an Adjustment Layer (Curves for example) to brighten the image -

I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard recently hoping it would help milder versions of these problems but its just become worse. Should i just go back to Tiger?
Ive run Disk Utility and usually it comes up with a few things that it fixes but today it came up with a list a mile long filled with lines of

for example. Someone said i could have a virus! Is that possible on a mac?!
Any advice would be great!
Thanks guys.
Gemma.Hi, Gemma. You can ignore all the ACL messages, according to this Apple article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US
It has nothing to do with a virus.
Your computer (which is Aluminum, not Titanium) has the bare minimum RAM for Leopard, and that's hard on performance. If you had performance issues while you were still running Tiger, upgrading to Leopard (which requires twice as much RAM) was not the way to resolve them.
Have a look at these two FAQ articles and try the tips provided in them:

Cant open over network from Windows to Leopard, but ok to Tiger
Hi
We have a number of Mac Pro's some running Tiger and others running Leopard. I can open any quicktime file over our network from a PC to any Tiger Mac, but not to a Leopard Mac. Why not? I can see the files I can open any other file type, just not QT. Copy the same file over to one of the Tiger Mac's and I can open it from the Windows PC. This would not be such an issue, but we are dealing with 1920x1080 uncompressed files and it is a real pain to move them.
Get Error 43: a file could not be found
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers
TonyWell outside help other than this list has solved this. Seems there is a bug in QT windows that if a QT file resides in a folder on the MAc with a name longer than 8 characters, it wont open over the network.
ie. Running QT Windows 7.5 connecting over network to a Mac running leopard.

De-installing Leopard and re-installing Tiger
After installing Leopard, my Final Cut Express won't work, so I want to de-install Leopard and Quick time 7 and re-install Tiger and earlier versions of Q Time. Do I do this?
By erasing your hard drive then reinstalling Tiger and all required updates. Be sure to backup your files first so they can be restored after the reinstallation.

How to revert from 10.5 (Leopard) to 10.4 (Tiger).
I recently upgraded from OS X 10.4 to 10.5.
I don't like 10.5 at all and want to go back to 10.4.
My setup: Dual G5, two internal disks, one external, recently installed (to take advantage of Time Machine!!!) One of the internal disks holds the OS files (now 10.5, used to be 10.4). It also holds all the users (3), the Applications folder, etc.
In a nutshell, what I think I could do is this:
• do a clean install of 10.4 on the external disk.
• Use Migration Assistant to move users from the internal disk to the new (external) installation.
• Copy the Applications folder from the internal to the new installation (I'm not sure if Migration Assistant does that).
• Copy the System 9 System Folder from the internal to the external disk.
• Re-boot from the external disk and run from it to make sure that all needed applications are running fine.
Now to get rid of 10.5 and re-install OS 10.4 on the internal disk, which is where I want it:
• Do an EraseandInstall of 10.4 on the internal disk.
• Use Migration Assistant to move all possible things (Users, maybe Applications) from the external to the new installation (on internal disk).
• Re-copy System 9's System Folder to the internal disk.
• Re=boot from the internal disk and eventually remove the (temporary) installation on the external disk, after I'm satisfied everything is running OK from the internal disk OS installation.
Does this procedure make sense?
Additional questions:
• How can I tell if I will be able to boot from an external drive? The one I have is a LaCie FireWire drive.
• Does Migration Assistant preserve all the current authorities, etc. for the various users?
• Does Migration Assistant move the Applications folder? If not, is there, generally speaking, a problem with just copying this folder (as opposed to installing the individual applications)?
Thanks! All suggestions are welcome!I'd consider installing 10.4 and OS 9 on the external disk on one partition. Clone your current setup to another partition using DiskUtility. Backup your important files to DVD's, another HD, or wherever in case the external HD becomes unreliable.
Use DiskUtility to erase the internal HD and clone the 10.4 install to the internal HD.
I'm not sure I would rely on migration assistant to move stuff from a 10.5 install to a 10.4 install. Could be asking fro troble. I'd manually move stuff (pics, music, email, etc...) from one place to the other. -
Upgrading from 1.6.8 and backing up
I have a question about upgrading from 1.6.8 to the latest Mountain Lion release on my MacBook Pro. I'm really new to this whole Apple thing (been on Windows past years) so please bear with me. I've read the "Backup now" article/tip on this website and some other articles, but I still have some questions:
I'm planning to upgrade to the latest Mountain Lion release. I want to make a full backup/clone of the current drive inside the MacBook Pro to an external drive. If the upgrade causes issues I would like to be able to simply "go back in time" using the data from the external drive and have my old version of 1.6.8 back.
Nothing more, nothing less. I just want to be sure I can quickly go back if anything problematic arises.
Can you do this with time machine or with the disk utility function, or do I need 3rd party programs like CCC etc? And how would I go about restoring, assuming for example that the upgrade causes an issue like unable to boot MacOS mountain lion. Would I reinstall MacOS from the disk I got when I bought the MacBook Pro, and from there restore the backup from the external drive? Or do you have to do something else? From the articles I read I'm not entirely sure how the restore process works if an upgrade fails or causes issues?
Again: I'm really new to how Apple handles this kind of stuff. Any help and tips appreciated.You can do that with Time Machne or one of the Cloning software programs.
I suggest doing both.
On your external drive create at least 2 partitions or more.
Make one of the partitions about 100GBs bigger then the total space used on your internal drive. That partition is for a Clone of your internal drive.
Make the second, if the leftover external space allows, twice the size of you internal drive.
And if there is more space available on the external just make a third partition with it. Format All of them Mac Extended (Journaled) with a Partition Table of GUID (That is under the Options button on the partition tab of Disk Utility) and give them all unique names so you remember what they arre for.
Clone your internal to the one partition that is 100GBs larger then the space used on the internal.
Once that is done start Time Machine, found in Sys Prefs, and selec the partition you may that is twice the size of the space used on the internal and run a Time Machine Backup. Once the backup is finished turn Off Time Machine, eject the external drive and disconnect it from the system and then Reboot your system .
Once all that is done then buy, download and install Mountain Lion to your internal drive.
If for some reason you don't care for it you will need the Original Snow Leopard Re-Install System Disc that came with your system. Boot the system from that and wipe the drive and use the Time Machine backup to Restore the system back to before you did the upgrade.
Or Boot from the external drive partition that holds the Clone and use DU to wipe the internal drive then use the cloning software program to Re-Clone the internal drive. -
AO amplitude transitions from 0 to 10V (and back to 0 again) within running VI
Hi,
I have a NI PCI-6225 multifunction DAQ that I am using for Geophysical measurements. I am applying 10V from one AO channel and measuring voltage differences with 49 AI channels. For the method I am using I must follow these steps:
1. Set voltage out = 0V
2. Take Self Potential measurements from all AI channels
3. Turn the AO channel ON with an applied voltage = 10V (1Hz square waveform)
4. Take measurements from all AI channels
5. Loop back to step # 1
At the present, I have the VI set up to apply the AO of 10V and to take measurements over time. The only thing missing is to take the Self Potential measurements while the applied voltage is at zero volts, run the VI in its current configuration, and then to start over again.
I am using the Express VI DAQ Assistant to set up all of the electrodes in the array for the applied voltage and the measured voltage and am able to do everything needed except include the applied voltage to zero for the Self Potential measurement.
I have attempted to use the DAQmx subVI's "Stop" and "Clear" (and any other combination of subVI's) to allow for the channel to be freed up within the VI, but the output channel then gives an error signal in the next cycle of the loop.
I am not sure what else to do, so any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dylan
Note: Attached is the VI in which the problem is occuring. I have this VI as a subVI within a timed loop that will execute every 60 seconds.

Is there an easy way to switch iPhone microphone input from headphones to Bluetooth and back?
When driving I plug my iPhone into the car stereo AUX jack with a cable to listen to music. To receive or make phone calls, or to use Siri, I use a Bluetooth (Jawbone) headset.
If I'm playing music out the headphone jack and then answer a call, when the call ends the music starts playing again through the Bluetooth headset, so I have to switch it back to headphones. Theoretically no big deal, since there's the little airplay icon at bottom right in most music apps. Still, I really wish it would revert to playing through the headphone jacks and I didn't have to do anything. Is that possible?
But it gets more annoying. Let's say I decide to use Siri and want to use the bluetooth. This is fine IF I plugged the headphones in before connecting Bluetooth, but for some reason it often seems to happen that it defaults to the headphone jack, especially if I've been messing with it a bit -- say I was listening to music, then received a call, then hung up, so now music plays through Bluetooth, so I hit the icon to switch music back to headphones, though sometimes this doesn't work and I have to unplug and replug in the headphones. But now usually if I want to use Siri, and I hold down the iPhone home button, or even if I hold down the jawbone button, it will often take input still from headphones.
I can't go into all the variations of this that happen, but almost every car ride there's a pain about this -- someone calls but even though I answer through my headset, the input is still from the headphone jack, and i have to scramble to get the call going through Bluetooth again. Or I have to unplug then replug the headphones after Siri use. None of this even covers something other, like dictating text or making a voice memo, something else that need simply but DOESN'T have an AirPlay-style button on bottom right like the music apps do. Really a pain.
Really wish there were some easy switch to toggle the input.
And again, really wish the music would just go back to playing where to was playing from (headphones) instead of making me switch it either via a button or through unplugging/replugging headphones.
Any solution to this?
Thanks.Sometimes you turn off your Bluetooth and then back on and it doesn't reconnect with your phone unless you go into the menu. Either way doesn't help much if someone calls you while you're driving and you realize your iPhone is stuck on headphone input.

Time machine backup from USB drive connected and backing up to Time Capsule
Hi all forum virgin here, so be gentle.
I'll get straight to it. Much net trawling hasn't resulted in a definitive answer on this which surely I'm not alone in
I have: MBP networked to TC (where TM resides) and USB drive connected.
A- I simply want to TM backup not only MBP but USB drive on network as well?
As far as I can see there is no way of selecting this and after TM back has finished the only way I can check is
to enter TM (fancy space screen view) and obviously idrive doesn't appear in finder view.
I have tried connecting to MBP and obviously TM backs it up too and I can see in Enter TM. But I need this
drive on network so a further 2 things here:-
B- when I remove from MBP and TM backs up again will it see it's not there and delete as a change?
C- will it keep in previous backups if I cycle back to that particular one?
Andy help here would be most welcomeSlymon2000 wrote:
B- when I remove from MBP and TM backs up again will it see it's not there and delete as a change?
Sooner or later, yes, as LaPastnague says. It depends on when the backups are done. The first backup of each day is kept for a month; all others are deleted after 24 hours. After a month, the first backup of the week is kept as long as there's room, and the others deleted.
Obviously not a reliable solution.
A better method might be to use a different app to back it up to the TC's internal HD, but that presents another problem. See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for an explanation and some possible workarounds.
The 3rd-party apps CarbonCopyCloner and ChronoSynch can do network backups (others probably can, too).
So you might be able to "reserve" some space on the TC's HD and use one of those apps. As LaPastnague says, though, that will be relatively slow.
If there isn't enough room on the TC's internal HD, you could get another USB drive and connect it to the TC also (via a powered USB hub) and back up to it. That will be even slower, though. -
I need to produce a triangular frequency sweep over a range of at least 1GHz. This sweep will start at 1GHz go up to 2GHz and back down to 1GHz and repeat the cycle. I need this cycle to repeat at a rate of 1KHz. The sweep must be as smooth as possible with the frequency steps being no more than say 1MHz. I have a RT controller chassis that I can install the PXI-5652 into. If I dedicate one of the processor cores to this function and reserve the second core for my data acquisition and processing do I have and chance or am I just dreaming?
Thanks,
Bruce BarnesHi Bruce,
If I interpret this correctly that you need to go from 1 GHz to 2 GHz and back to 1 GHz in 1 ms (you want to repeat this at a rate of 1 kHz) then this isn't possible with the PXI-565x series of RF Signal Generators. These have a tuning time of around 1-5 ms for one frequency step, and tuning from 1 G to 2 G in steps no greater than 1 MHz would mean at least 1000 steps.

But when I export a photo from Lightroom to Photoshop and edit it there before saving it, the photo in Lightroom is very different than what the Photoshop edit shows.
Photoshop is to the left, Lightroom to the right.Ask in the LR/ PS forums and provide details about your system, your files, your develop settings, other stuff. You need to be much more specific.
