By reading the system requirements prior to any downloading or installation.

  • Unable to bind MacBook Pro (running 10.6 - Snow Leopard ) to Windows Server 2003 domain

    Hi there, I've been working on this problem for a few hours now (and a few hours last Thursday) and don't feel I'm getting anywhere, so I'm reaching out for help....
    My organisation has just purchased a new MacBook Pro, running Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6) and as a Technical Support Engineer I have been asked to configure it for an end user.
    I am currently trying to join it to our corporate domain, which is a Windows Server 2003 domain operating at the Windows Server 2003 Native domain functional level.
    The MacBook is configured to use DHCP, and has been assigned valid IP address, DNS servers etc by the DHCP server. It can resolve all names on our network, including the names of our domain controllers. When I use nslookup to resolve the name of the domain "my_domain.local" it returns a list of DC's on the domain, which would indicate to me that name resolution is working perfectly. It is using our primary DNS server, 'Ponus' to resolve these names - Ponus is also the Domain Controller in this site.
    To attempt to join the MacBook to the domain I have created a computer account for it on the domain, in the Computers container. I have gone into System/Library/Core Services and run the Directory Utility.
    In the directory Utility I have ticked Active Directory and clicked on it to edit. The 'Forest' field is greyed out and set to 'Automatic', in the 'Domain' field I have entered my_domain.local, which is the FQDN of my domain. I click Bind and when prompted enter my Domain Admin username and password (in the 'Create Computer Account in:' field it displays correctly as CN=Computers,DC=my_domain,DC=local.)
    When I click OK I get the message: Invalid domain. An invalid Domain and Forest combination was specified. You should enter a fully qualified DNS name for the domain and forest (e.g., ads.company.com).
    I have attempted writing the domain as my_domain.local, my_domain.local., MY_DOMAIN.LOCAL and MY_DOMAIN.LOCAL. but I get the same error each time. I have checked and rechecked DNS is resolving OK, and cannot see why it cannot find the Domain and Forest from the FQDN that I am entering. Even so I tried creating records in the hosts file on the MacBook to point to the main Domain Controller at this site (Ponus) but this didn't change anything.
    I have seen a few people report the same issue online but the responses tend to fizzle out before anyone gets to the bottom of it. I have seen some indication that people with an understore (_) in their domain name, or with a .local domain name may experience issues with joining Mac hosts, however these details are very vague and if true there must be a workaround.
    If anyone could help me with this I would greatly appreciate it, I'm running out of time to complete this work and have run out of things to try.
    I have an inkling that this is due to the Mac for some reason not reading the SRV records for the DCs and LDAP in DNS, or to do with the Mac looking only at one SRV record (ie. there is one for a new DC that we haven't deployed yet), not being able to reach this and giving up, but I'm clutching at straws really with my limited knowledge of the Macs process for joining the domain.
    Many many thanks,

    Hi there,
    A simple suggestion , please make sure both MacBook Pro clock and the server clock are the same meaning the hour/Min/ sec both should match. A least difference of 3 seconds is fine.
    I had faced this problem in many place and only solution was to match the time and it will bind immediatly.

    The only observations are that the backup drive is deemed too small and the quite long list of diagnostic reports dated between  Jan 18, 2015 (which I believe is the day I upgraded to Yosemite) & today the latest Yosemite update was installed on Jan 28, 2015
    Any further assistance will be appreciated

  • I have Logic Pro 8 on my Snow leopard macbook.Can I upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    i have Logic Pro 8 on my Snow leopard macbook.Can I upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    octopi wrote:
    It's not a bug. Although Logic 8 will run under 10.7.x and 10.8.x the installer contains PPC code which simply does not run in 10.7.x, 10.8.x and 10.9. The app is fine, the installer is the issue.
    Some research on this issue has led me to the conclusion that the commonly held conception that the installer has PPC code is flatly incorrect.
    That misconception is due to the fact that the PowerPC dialog box is triggered by any attempt to launch the installer app.
    The "bug" I reference triggers this dialog box; not PPC code within the Logic Pro 8 app. 
    At the end of the day, the result is the same: the installer app will NOT work in Mt. Lion without modification.  I have been given a tip on how to make a modification that will allow an analogous program's installer app work in Mt. Lion, but since I do not have access to a copy of Logic Pro 8, I cannot test this theory.
    So, yes, the best approach is to be sure it is fully installed before the upgrade!

    While the 2011 MBP's that shipped with Lion can be made to run Snow Leopard as long as you have the appropriate installer disk for 10.6.7 or later, yours is a 2012 MBP and most likely can never be made to run Snow Leopard because the necessary hardware support drivers (e.g., USB 3.0 support) simply aren't a part of that OS.

  • Macbook Pro V10.6.6 Snow Leopard

    I have a Macbook Pro V10.6.6 Snow Leopard. It looks like the OS crashed and it's not booting anymore. It's getting stuck at grey screen. I tried lot of things (could not boot in safe mode, Disk Utility do not show upon boot, Internet Recovery is failing with -2000F error, ...). It looks like i will have to reinstall the OS. However, I do not have the CD the came with the Macbook. Where can I download it from?

    10.6 isn't available as a download.
    If you've lost the Snow Leopard DVD you can buy it again at the Apple Store.

    Hi Carolyn, thanks for your quick reply. First thing I did before posting my question was to check the system requirements for Creative Suite, both on Apple and Adobe's websites. But I am however confused about the difference between "Multicore Intel processor" vs "Core 2 Duo", and keep hearing stories about CS5 not working properly.

  • Airport not maintaining internet connection on my D-link router with Macbook Pro 5.5 with Snow leopard

    Airport keeps throwing me out of internet connection on my D-link router with Macbook Pro 5.5 with Snow leopard. Pls if anyone has a solution to this then let me know

    I'm using my PC notebook because connecting with my iMac is IMPOSSIBLE!!! If I get connected at all, it's worse than dial-up speed.
    We are wireless via a D-Link DIR-625 (new) -- but was having some problems before with a netgear. Problem much worse now. My computers are not the primary computers. My sister gets that coin toss. She is a PC user. I share with her using WPA2. When the iMac "wakes" the signal bands are strong, but when I go to a page I lose all signal strength. And several times a day I get a message indicating an error joining the network -- arghhhhh -- HELP!
    Is the problem with D-Link or Mac? Thanks for any help.

  • MacBook Pro 4/10/2011 Snow Leopard not Lion

    Hi everyone! I bought my MacBook Pro 15'' on the 4/10/2011. Why does it have Snow Leopard and not Lion? How can i get it free?

    My MBP purchased in early July 2011 has SL.  Lion came out mid/late-July 2011.
    You do not.  At best you had 30 days from purchase of your system when Lion was offered for free.
    But ... and not to say you are wrong for wanting Lion (you may need iCloud!) ...
    You may want to start by cloning (CarbonCopyClone or SuperDuper!) to an external drive.  Then upgrade that.
    This site tells you applications that will or will not work under Lion: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    There may be other "loss of functionality" that is better discovered/handled in your "test Lion" while your SL stays valid, if only temporarily.

  • HT1449 Ok. I have an '06 Macbook Pro still running on Snow Leopard 10.6.8, and iTunes 10.6.1. I did everything in this article leading up to step 14. I thought I trashed the right file, now I can't access my music which is on my external drive now. Help!

    As stated in my above Subject field. I have an older Macbook Pro and I was attempting to move my iTunes media file using this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1449
    After getting to step number 14, I "thought" I selected the correct media file to trash from my system. Now I have my correctly copied Itunes file on my external drive that can't be accessed when I reopen iTunes. How can I get iTunes to open to my new destination now? I went to iTunes > Preferences > Advanced and selected the new location then click OK, but it still won't access.
    What am I doing wrong here?

    I had the same problem and found the answer! 
    In Outlook, go to the Help menu, then Check for Updates.
    I downloaded & updated Outlook, then it upgraded my database, and everything worked out fine for me!

    Holy Moly!
    Your'e answer is really for those kids with no experience in a terminal.
    The command line is only for pro users and should no be used by any DAU. Therefore no problem at all with "rm -rf" if you have changed into the correct directory first.
    One suggetion is adding these lines to your "~/.profile"
    TERM=xterm-color
    # colors for misc things
    export TERM=xterm-color
    export GREP_OPTIONS='--color=auto' GREP_COLOR='1;32'
    export CLICOLOR=1
    # Set colors
    export LS_COLORS='di=1;36:fi=0:ln=4;34:pi=5:so=4;5:bd=5:cd=5:or=4;91:mi=4;92:ex=35:*.r b=90'
    alias rm="rm -i"
    alias cp="cp -i"
    PS1="(\u) \[\033[01;31m\]\h\[\033[01;34m\] [\w]# \[\033[00m\]"
    Than do a
    # source .profile
    at the terminal prompt in order to active the settings immediatelly.
    Now the "rm" command will always ask before deleting any file or folder.
    Unfortunately if you like to delete a folder containing other folders with several files inside you will go mad!
    One possible intermediate solution is
    # unalias rm; rm -rf ./System/Library/Caches/com.apple.*; alias rm="rm -i"
    But as mentioned before, if you have "sweaty fingers" while typing in Unix commands you should better stay away from the terminal.

  • Toneport UX2 not working with new MacBook Pro 10.6.2 Snow Leopard

    I do some casual recording using a Line 6 Toneport UX2. Previously i was recording on an older Mac Mini. Recently i upgraded to a new Macbook Pro (Snow Leopard 10.6.2)
    The new Macbook is not responding at all when i plug in my toneport, all the software for the toneport is installed.
    I think the problem is that my toneport is not compatible with an intel Mac. Is this right?
    And if it is can i fix this problem with some kind of upgrade for my toneport software(gearbox)?
    And if there is no solution can someone recomend a new audio interface for me to get? Under $200.

    I use a Toneport UX2 with my intel iMac. I never had the problem you are describing while using Gearbox with GB. However your problem sounds very similar to one I have experienced when I loaded up Line 6 Pod Farm. I discovered that when I start Pod Farm and get the message you mentioned, if I quit Pod Farm then immediately start it again, everything communicates just fine and I'm back in business. I would like to see a fix for this glitch, but for now I just start twice and then get to work.
    Give it a try! I am curious to know if you are in the same boat as me.
    As a side note, Recently Line 6 offered Pod Farm for no charge to registered owners of a Line 6 interface such as ours. You may want to check it out. It gives you some more options to play with.

  • Can MacBook Pro (Aug 2007) with Snow Leopard support A2DP headsets?

    Hi I have a MacBook Pro (Generation 3,1) bought in August 2007 (hence NOT Late 2007 model) and currently running Snow Leopard. I'm interested in getting myself a Logitech Bluetooth Wireless Headset, but it only supports devices with A2DP Bluetooth profile, namely recent iPhones, iPads and iPod touches.
    I was wondering if it could also work with my MacBook Pro in its current state and configuration? Many thanks if anyone could help.
