How do I do a custom re-install?

I'm searching the discussion groups but cannot find out how to reinstall just iDVD. When I bought my Mac Pro it came with OS 10.4. I subsequently purchased a full version of Leopard, OS 10.5.4.
I cloned the original OS and keep on a separate internal drive. I don't really use the cloned Tiger but keep it as a backup. I alsways boot from my Main drive which is the Leopard OS.
When I try to access iDVD I get a message saying I cannot use this version (info says it is V6.0.2).
I've read about custom or optional installs but it seems like I have to do a whole new system install.
I'm fearfull of overwriting a working system but I do want to get iDVD back.
Any help please. Thanks

Thank you Kappy. I had also posted in the iDVD group and just posted again there saying that I found the solution on line from a Ben Robison (http://benrobb.com/2007/12/01/howto-install-ilife-06-on-leopard/). As I wrote in the other group, ...I'm just annoyed with Apple for not warning people when they buy Leopard or indicating it anywhere on the box or in the instructions that they were about to lose applications they had, like iDVD. And surprised I could not find this addressed anywhere in these discussion groups.
No longer correct since you did also just provide the basic answer.
Thank you.

Imac won't let me install Final cut studio 2..it will let me install the upgrade, but it has no live type and i need it to work on my current projects. How do I get Live type back installed in iMac

I just purchased an iMac for home and went to install final cut studio 2 and it gave me an error saying something about "PowerPC" not used or something like that. Installed the studio upgrade just fine...but it has no "Live Type" which I need to work on projects I have been using in my Mac Pro at my work place. How do I get "Live Type" to install in this iMac? Downloaded Live Type upgrade but that won't update cause there's no "Live Type" in the applications.

It sounds like you have Lion installed on your new imac, although your profile says SL 10.6.8 (you may want to change this.)
If you have the Snow Leopard install disc I believe you can install "Rosetta" from the extras folder which will then, if you have the original FCS2 discs , allow you to select and install Live Type and LIve Type content only from the custom install options.
I hope this will work for you.

What is the best way to make a custom arch install cd?

Hello, before I start I should mention that I have been reading about various tools and looking at wiki articles. But I have had some trouble getting started.
What I would like is an install cd that installs the packages I choose. I'd like this to be either automatic, or allow me to select the packages I want (which are presumably on the cd), just like in the normal way of installing arch perhaps, maybe.
I'd just like a way of installing arch, the way it is set up now, with minimal hassle, no internet access, just pop the cd in and out comes archlinux with a nice desktop environment so I can give it to my mum without having to travel hundreds of miles to install it for her.
"just pop the cd in and out comes archlinux with a nice desktop environment" -Ahahahahahaha, I hear you react. Well, you know, at least I would like it to be no MORE difficult than the standard install procedure.
For example, is there no way I can just download the .pkg.tar.gz files I want, add 'em to the fracking archlinux iso I download from here, meddle about with a config file so pacman knows where to find the additional pkg.tar.gzips, and then run a script afterwards to copy a few configuration files to the relevant locations? No? Won't work?
At least, I have not discovered a way to do this yet. Please can someone get me started?
Should I maybe start HERE?
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Qui … stallation
It says it "may contain old, confusing and wrong information" -how unusual...
Larch looks pretty good, will this do what I want?
I actually think larch is definitely the answer. I'm gonna mark it solved. Even though I will probably have some trouble with it. Sorry for asking this question for the hundredth time, but, well, the forums were down yesterday (the day I was trying to do this, obviously).
Maybe I'll leave it unsolved until I get specific errors...

But that isn't what I'm trying to do. I want to learn how to build an install disc, too. It takes me a long time to get arch up and running. I would like to know how to automate it so that I end up with my own personal humble distribution.
I realize there are many alternatives to doing what I am trying to do. But there are a hundred reasons I can think of why a custom archlinux install cd made by me that goes "do you want to install y/n" and then you press y and it formats the disk, shoves the stuff on and then it works would be the best option.
This assumes, of course, that my mum can plug in the computer, monitor, mouse, keyboard and speakers, insert the disc and press y, all of which are long shots.
Anyway, I'm making some progress with larch now. I can roughly see how it's going to work, it's pretty straightforward, so it would seem.
Thanks!
Yeah I see your point. I like archiso because he has a barebone option there, and you can build it the way you like it from there. I just had trouble getting Arch to run for me, so his iso was just easier as I am very unlearned in linux, and at 63 I dont have a lot of time, or energy to learn what it seems everyone but me knows. I still have to work to earn a living, and with a limited education I may be more dense than alot of the younger folks on here, so this just made it a little easier for me. Good luck with it, I hope you get what your after.
Maybe have a look at ISOMaster too, it seems simple enough to use.

Adobe pro - print settings: How do i make a custom page size list, which i can copy to my other comp

Adobe pro - print settings: How do i make a custom page size list, which i can copy to my other computers who have adobe pro installed?

your right.. i ment acrobat pro :-)
my problem is that i use the PDF printer to export CAD drawings as PDF´s.
As it is now, there are some pre-defined page sizes in the print settings, and i know i can add custom pages manually one at a time.
What i want is to copy the list of my danish standard page sizes, and use them on my other versions of acrobat.
Its like 70 different sizes, and i have them made manually on my current computer, but i hope its possible to copy the list to other computers.
Maby its some script where i can define the sizes, and then copy to another computer. Im just not that much of a computer genius :-)
Hope i got through this without to many spelling mistakes...
Thanks for helping.

How to add a new custom paper size? I am using a HP Deskjet 1000 J 110a printer.

How to add a new custom paper size? I am using a HP Deskjet 1000 J 110a printer. I am using Windows XP home edition. The Custom option itself is not appearing in the process of selecting paper sizes in Printing preferences. I have installed this printer just today, but I bought it eight months back in Dubai. Could there be chance that since I purchased it in Dubai and I am using it in India, the software's not functioning properly.
Can you please help me with this problem immediately? Reply soon...

Hi RajeshPujara,
Please refer the link below to know the paper size supported by this printer.

How do I get my custom linux software to display at 1280x1024 on my iMac under Parallels? and stay that way when I reboot?

Interesting. Comes with? you didn't have either before? Paragon is commercial and is now v. 10.0, they were the only one keeping updated and was supporting 10.7.4. I would not enable more than one.
For writing to HFS Paragon has theirs but probably give the nod to MacDrive there.
I never do an upgrade to a new OS over the old system, I backup (clone) and format the drive with the new OS and do the install so whatever is there I know is clean and also to keep from carrying around leftovers from years and systems past.
I would assme Paragon is limited. Try their site and knowledge base?

How can i check the license file installed on the server CCM 6.1.4

Hi;
i have installed the CCM 6.1.4; and now i want to upgrade to 8.5, but i don't remenber witch type license i have uploaded ( normal or Hospitality).
how can i check the license file installed on this server???
thanks.

Hi Matthew,
I think your idea should work just fine, but you will need to work with;
[email protected]
To put together the proper license file due to this change called the "License MAC"
Customer Impact from New Licensing Procedures
Cisco Unified Communications Manager on VMware on Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers uses a different licensing model than Cisco Unified Communications Manager on an MCS server. The MAC address of the NIC card is no longer used to associate the license to the server.
Instead, the license gets associated to a license MAC, which is a 12 digit HEX value created by hashing the following parameters that you configure on the server:
•Time zone
•NTP server 1 (or "none")
•NIC speed (or "auto")
•Hostname
•IP Address (or "dhcp")
•IP Mask (or "dhcp")
•Gateway Address (or "dhcp")
•Primary DNS (or "dhcp")
•SMTP server (or "none")
•Certificate Information (Organization, Unit, Location, State, Country)
This hash of these fields is called the LICENSE MAC
Note : Once there is a change in any of the parameters that creates the License MAC, it will
give you 30 day grace period to generate a new license file for the CM based on new license
MAC.

Custom re-install of Tiger

I have default installed Tiger on my iBook, although I have since used the Monolingual programme to free up space taken by additional languages.
How much space would I save by doing a 'custom' re-instal with the intent of stripping as much as possible out (eg drivers etc)?
Is this straight forward? What would I need to re-install in addition? All my third party applications?
I have no problems other than that I am running short of hardrive space.
I have an external firewire drive with a bootable clone of my drive (using Super Duper) as backup.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Dunstan, there's no need to do a re-install to get rid of your unwanted printer drivers. Printer drivers are in the HD/Library/Printers folder. You can safely delete any named drivers that you don't have a printer for. For example, if you have a Canon, you can remove Epson, Lexmark, Hewlett Packard & Brother drivers. Epson alone takes up close to 1gb. You can even remove specific drivers from within the manufacturer's folder. For example, if you have an Epson C86 you can safely trash any other specific drivers in the Epson folder like C46, C66 etc. If, at a later date, you buy a printer whose driver you removed they can be added from your install disk, the disk that comes with the printer or downloaded.
(Sorry if any of that is too simplistic, it's a copy/paste from my standard reply to "How do I free up disk space" type questions).
The rest of the standard reply goes like this:
"For example, on my iBook, I have removed GarageBand from Applications and its Loops from HD/Library/Application Support or HD/Library/Audio. As my iBook only has a combo drive and I'm not into video editing anyway I have trashed iDVD & iMovie. (Not DVD player). I have also trashed preloaded games and World Book, and its associated files, again in Application Support.
Language support files can be removed using Monolingual. Do not remove any English language files, though. (Already dealt with.)
A word of warning: More cautious heads than mine advise against messing in the HD/Library, but if you stick to the examples above, i.e. GarageBand loops, World Book and printer drivers you will be OK.
Certainly, I have had no problems with my system after removing those examples.
Check, too, in your music folder. It is possible that you have, say, 'xyz song' in the first level of your Music folder and the same song in Music/iTunes/iTunes Library. If you are sure that you do have 'xyz song' in iTunes, it is safe to delete from 'Music'. The same principle can apply to your Pictures folder and iPhoto Library, but staying with iTunes for a moment, with iTunes open select Edit in the menu bar, then 'Show duplicate songs'. You can trash duplicates if you are sure that they are true duplicates, i.e. exact name, artist and file size.
Some excellent advice has been posted by ~JB~, with corresponding words of caution.
Dr Smoke has some advice here too.
Last but by no means least, when you have finished dumping your unwanted stuff in the trash, don't forget to empty it. You haven't regained the space until you do "
Have fun!

How to organize translation of customer developments

Hello everybody,
I am having a hard time finding documentation on how to organize translation of customer development objects. I've had a look at the articles in service.sap.com\globalization and also at the SAP Online documentation, but I am having trouble getting the overall picture.
We have a 3-tier system landscape with installed languages english, german, italian and 2 clients in every system, one primarily used by german users, one for primarily italian users. In both clients, there are development activities, so we have ojects with original language german and others italian. Is it useful to create an extra client which is solely reserved for translation? What are the alternatives and what consequences do they have on the translation process?
Anybody any experience on this topic? Where else could I find documentation on this topic?
Thank you for your help, regard, Kathrin!

Hi Kathrin,
I've never seen these transactions before (SLWA/SLWB). Every time you turn over a stone SAP presents another whole new raft of functionality that you didn't know about.
From my experience (rolled out one European solution, in the process of doing another) however, I'm not sure that use of these is really required. Maybe there is benefit but it seems a little excessive to me (after only a quick view).
By before migration, I mean before moving to the next tier in your landscape (from DEV to QA). So, one of the quality checks on all objects before they are allowed to leave the DEV system is checking to ensure that they are translated to all languages (by a native speaker for each language to check for accuracy).
Hope that helps.
Brad

Need Advice on How To / Recommended App. for Custom "Word of the Day" Screensaver

I really like the “Word of the Day” screensaver that comes with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. I would like to either 1.) customize this screensaver with my own dictionary OR 2.) identify an app that I could purchase / download which would allow me to create my own custom “Word of the Day” screensaver.
Does anyone have advice on how I can create a custom “Word of the Day” screensaver using my own dictionary?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
If you have time for just a couple more questions. The ultimate goal is have my new flash files in a version (as3) so they can be used as android, html5 and iOs products.
So would the steps be these?
Install cs6
Open SWF files that were created in as2
(I am assuming by doing this, all the assets will end up in the library which is currently not happening when I import the swf files into Flash CC)
So now I have the old swf files open in a version of flash that works in as2.
I understand that as2 is not fully convertible to as3. But assuming I want to use the assets (graphics and audio) to recreate the animations in as3 can I then save the as2 file as as3 so it would then work with AIR?
Thanks again?

How do I use a custom UserInfo with a T3Client?

This is related to my previous post, 4655. The problem is I if
use a custom implementation of the interface
weblogic.security.acl.UserInfo in a T3Client constructor, the
client fails to connect. If I use
weblogic.security.acl.DefaultUserInfoImpl, the client connects
and disconnects without any problems. How do I use a custom
UserInfo implementation with a T3Client?

How many times can a team member install Creative Cloud for teams ?

How many times can a team member install Creative Cloud for teams ?
Is it possible for one team member to install it for example on a portable mac and a desktop pc at the same time?

From the Creative Cloud FAQ at https://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html under the Purchasing and getting started section:
On how many computers can I install the software I download from Creative Cloud?
You can install the desktop applications available in Creative Cloud on your primary computer and one backup computer, as long as they are not running at the same time. You will have access to both the Mac OS and Windows versions, so if you have a Mac at home and a PC at work, for instance, you can install your applications on both.

- Import profiles (RZ10)
- Client Copy (SCC*)
- Create users (SU01)
