How do I change the partition scheme to use GUID partition Table.

How do I change the partition scheme to use GUID partition Table so I can get Snow Leopard to download on my 10.5 disk.
When I insert the disk it asks me to select  the disk where you want to install MAC OS X.It only give me one option the 10.5.
when I click on it it says...
"10.5" can't be used because it doesn't use the GUID Partition Table scheme.
Use Disk Utility to change the partition scheme.  Select the disk, choose the Partition tab, select the Volume Scheme and then click Options. 
I tried to do what it says and I can not find what it is saying.  This is the info about my MacBook.
Model Name: MacBook
  Model Identifier: MacBook4,1
  Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
  Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
  Number Of Processors: 1
  Total Number Of Cores: 2
  L2 Cache: 3 MB
  Memory: 4 GB
  Bus Speed: 800 MHz
  Boot ROM Version: MB41.00C1.B00
  SMC Version (system): 1.31f0
Thank you for your help!

The GUID partition option is one of three possible choices (click the "Options" button in the Partition") menu - be careful to have a full backup as changing the partition scheme will force an erasure on the disk. Take a look at this Apple support article for more complete information:
Firmware updates for Intel-based Macs require a GUID partition scheme - Apple Support
Ignore the stuff about firmware updates and just look at the changing GUID partition scheme.
Good luck - and don't forget about the full backup BEFORE making this sort of change.

  • How can i  change the column label text in a alv table display

    how can i change the column label text in a alv table display??
    A similar kinda of question was posted previuosly where the requirement was the label text was needed and following below code was given as solution :
    <i>*  declare column, settings, header object
    DATA: lr_column TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_column.
    DATA: lr_column_settings TYPE REF TO if_salv_wd_column_settings.
    DATA: lr_column_header type ref to CL_SALV_WD_COLUMN_HEADER.
    get column by specifying column name.
    lr_column = lr_column_settings->get_column( 'COLUMN_NAME1' ).
    set Header Text as null
    lr_column_header = lr_column->get_header( ).
    lr_column_header->set_text( ' ' ).</i>
    My specific requirement is i have an input field on the screen and i want reflect that value as the column label for one of the column in the alv table. I have used he above code with slight modification in the MODIFYVIEW method of the view since it is a process after input. The component gets activated without any errors but while run time i get an error stating
    <i>"The following error text was processed in the system CDV : Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible."</i>
    i have checked in debugging and the error occured at the statement :
    <i>lr_column = lr_column_settings->get_column( 'CURRENT_YEAR' ).</i>Please can you provide me an alternative for my requirement or correct me if i have done it wrong.
    Thanks,
    Suri

    I found it myself how to do it. The error says that it is not able to find the reference object i.e  it is asking us to refer to the table. The following piece of code will solve this problem. Have to implement this in WDDOMODIFYVIEW method of the view. This thing works comrades enjoy...

    hello rodale, what you're seeing is probably a side effect of firefox not being able to save certain preferences into its profile folder.
    go to ''firefox > help > troubleshooting information'', click on ''profile folder/show folder'' and close all firefox windows afterwards. a windows explorer window should open up - in there delete the file named '''user.js'''.
    in case this didn't solve the issue yet please also refer to [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].

  • How do I change the taskbar icon to use the new icon?

    I created an icon (Visual Studio 2013) that I placed on the Windows 7 taskbar a month ago. 
    I have changed the icon.  The new icon displays correctly when I place a shortcut on my desktop. 
    When I unpin the old icon, and drag the new icon to the taskbar, it displays the old icon. 
    When I run the program from the taskbar, the program displays the new icon.  However, the old icon remains on the taskbar.

    It's because they're cached.
    The cache will usually be refreshed only when you reboot.
    You can, however, force a refresh.
    Choose run, type or paste in:
    ie4uinit.exe -ClearIconCache

  • CLAF - How to just change the color-scheme of default laf of Oracle EBiz

    How to change the color scheme of the default oracle ebusiness suites laf?
    When we tried the CLAF UI, there is no option to extend the oracle-desktop.xss.
    It gives only the base-desktop (which is different from the default Oracle Ebusiness laf).
    Have anyone done this ?
    Any suggestions/help is appreciated..?

    the default LAF is Browser one and the OA personalization guide tells what we can't extend it.
    It reads so stupid what i was not able to believe it.. But seems true.
    When you need to make a simple modification and keeping the look and feel, you can't.
    I changed only one icon but you can't give blaf (even if you modify the extends property in the look and feel metadata.xml
    Had you try to copy all blafs styles in your BLAF ? (that could be a workaround even if is it not upgradable ?)
    Or, open SR ?
    Anyway, I'm interesting by an answer too.

  • I changed my gmail e-mail password. How do I change the password that Thunderbird uses to log in to gmail.

    I changed the password used to access my gmail account. Thunderbird is still using the old password to access the account. How do I change the password that Thunderbird is using. The last time this happened I ended up creating a new Thunderbird account for gmail. Creating the new Thunderbird account at least let me enter the new password. I really don't want to have three Thunderbird accounts for the same gmail account.
    Please do not respond with suggestions about using Password Manager. I do not use it and do not intend to start. I looked and none of my Thunderbird passwords are displayed there. All I want to do is change the password in Thunderbird. If Thunderbird does not have a feature allowing you to change it's passwords, one should be added.

    This is the only way.

  • How do I change the phone that Facetime uses to make calls

    We have multiple iPhones in the household and when I use Facetime from my MacBook Air to make a regular call it doesn't use my iphone to dial. How do I tell the MacBook Facetime to use my iPhone?

    Howdy angeleno,
    If I understand correctly, you have Continuity setup and you can make calls on the Mac but it goes to the wrong phone, and not to yours. That says to me that the Apple ID being used for Continuity has a phone number other than your own linked to it. Use this article to check what Apple ID is using Continutiy on your computer:
    Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
    If that is the wrong iCloud account then sign out and use the one you wish that has the phone number linked to it. 
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    Sterling

  • On a previously created form, how can I change the color scheme?

    Our business has a previously created application form that has the title of each section in a purple bar and we would like to change the color of each divider bar. How do we change this?

    You would normally make revisions to the source document (InDesign, Word, etc.), create a new PDF, and in Acrobat replace the old pages with the new. Any fields, links, bookmarks, code, etc. will be retained. The point is changing colors of things in Acrobat is not something it's intended to do.
