How I got Leopard, Tiger & Vista to share drives

First some background:
I have a Mac Mini Core Duo (10.5) & Parallels with XP, Powerbook (G4) both with 10.5; a G5 Quad with 10.4.10 & a dual Core Powerbook with 10.4.10, a Vista PC and a Ubuntu PC all connected with an Airport Extreme 1Gb (Powerbooks wireless, the rest Ethernet).
I was having a devil of a time getting Vista shares to show up on the Leopard systems. I first corrected the workgroup issue (created new Network Location with the proper workgroup specified in 10.5), but the Vista shares ONLY showed up on the 10.5 systems when I had Parallels running XP.
The fix for me was to change the Vista machine's NetBIOS setting to use NetBIOS over TCP/IP. Now, all machines can see all others, mount shared drives and Parallels does not have to be running XP.
Easiest (low-tech) way to change Vista is to do a search on NetBIOS using Vista Help, then:
1. Click on the Open Network settings link in the help results. This will open the LAN Connections settings;
2. Right-click on the Ethernet icon, select Properties (accept if you are running the protection software in Vista),
3. Click on the IPv4 TCP/IP stack.
4. Click on Advanced...
5. Then click on the WINS tab at the top.
The default is for Vista to use the DHCP server NetBIOS information; Change this to Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP.
It worked for me, YMMV...
Cheers and good luck!

You know what? It worked. I had the same problem with vista.

Need step-by-step guide on how to connect Leopard and Vista

Hi,
I have a desktop mac with Leopard and a PC notebook with VISTA. The Leopard has 2 network connections, the first is connected to my DSL router, the second is connected to the VISTA notebook.
What do I need to do to be able to:
1) share the Internet connection
2) access files from VISTA and Leopard?
Could you explain it as if you would to a 10-year old please? I'm really having trouble with this.

Ok. There are two ways to approach this.
1. Buy a router, and connect both machines to the router. File sharing will be a breeze, and Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) won't be necessary.
2. Attempt to connect the machines to each other via ICS. I suspect that File Sharing will not work well in this configuration, but we can test that after trying.
_*Choice 1. Buy a router*_ ($50-$60 in Australia for a Wireless G router with 4 ethernet ports)
Plug the router into the ZyXEL modem.
Configure the router to connect.
Plug both Mac's into the router.
File sharing will work as soon as you enable it on both Macs (and in Vista).
_*Choice 2. Use ICS*_
The trick here is that you are using two Ethernet connections on your PowerMac. I have used ICS for an Ethernet connected computer sharing via Airport, but never with both. (Do you have an Airport card in your PowerMac?)
There are risks to using an Ethernet connection at both ends of the configuration (it can muck around with some ISPs networks!).
Here goes:
1. Disconnect the two computers.
2. Open System Preferences on the PowerMac and click on sharing. Then click on Internet Sharing.
3. "Share your computer using:" Select built-in Ethernet
4. "To computers using:" Select Ethernet.
5. Reconnect the two computers.
On your MacBook:
1. Start with Leopard, and open System Preferences -> Network. What do you see?
2. Can you browse the net? If this works, then it should work for Vista too.
3. Can you see the PowerMac on the SHARED devices in a Finder window?
3. Restart into Vista. The network should work immediately.
Report back! If we have managed to get this far, then we will have a go at the file sharing.

If I bought Leopard and it failed how can I get Tiger back?

I am thinking of getting Leopard but people seem to have problems getting it running. I have an iMac Intel Core 2 Duo made last September, It's in great condition and I have an external drive, I'm wondering what will happen if Leopard screws up and I want to get Tiger back, since it came pre-installed on my iMac I don't have a disk, same goes for my iLife 06 applications. I have backed them up onto my external harddrive and I think that should work. How would I get Tiger (and possibly other applications) back if Leopard screws them up. Remember I have no discs, they came pre-installed.
Thanks a lot,
Michael

I wonder under what circumstances you bought your iMac that you don't have the original disks?
Did you look in the box?

Before I install snow leopard, I tried to move tiger into the external harddrive. My mac says it can't do because it is the OS X. So I installed snow leopard without removing tiger. After that, my computer often freezes. How can I remove tiger?

When you installed Snow Leopard, Tiger was replaced, leaving your programs and files intact.
What is causing your freezing problem is unknown, you can take Kappy's advice and remove everything, but you lose your files and free iLife programs that came with Tiger/new machine.
The 10.6.3 disk you "upgraded" with has the full 10.6.3 on it, but no free iLife suit, so a erase and install will remove what you already have installed.
You can try to locate your problem without the erase and install method by running through this list of fixes.
Step by Step to fix your Mac
But before you do anything, backup your personal data off the machine to a extenal drive and disconnect.
Most commonly used backup methods
Because if you have to follow Kappy's advice and wipe and install 10.6 fresh, it will cure your problem in nearly 99% of cases, but you have to rebuild everything. All programs and files.
How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
If this is all too much for you, then STOP and call a local PC/Mac service or competant friend to assist you.
Yuo might need to install more RAM into the machine to make 10.6 run better as well.

How can I get Tiger to install (boot) on 2007 Intel Mini ?

{continued from deleted thread]
Just bought brand new MB138LLA (labeled mid-2007) last week ('full warranty", (allegedly) "dual bootable")
Was purchased solely to be able to dual boot - either in Tiger or Leopard
Supposedly this model is capable of booting in 10.4.10 - IF had (received) the correct install disk.
Came with 2 install disks for 10.5.4 (2008)
w/ 10.5.4 pre-installed (updated online to 10.5.7 as of 8/3/09)
Disk 1 is labeled
AHT version 3A152
Disk version 1.1
27691-6304-A
Disk 2 labeled
disk version 1.0
2Z691-6249-A
Neither will launch/load from C-Boot, but does appear after 'normal' boot
I do not see any copy/memtion of Tiger (10.4.10) in the optional installation folder
How can I install Tiger on this 2007-model machine?
Is there a ANY version of Tiger (10.4.10 I'm told) that I can get to install on this machine
(then update online later)
per
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411updateintel.html
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html

Just talked with Apple Support - AGAIN
Finally got some one who understood that this particular model WAS supposed to ship with 10.4.10 (as I had determined PRIOR to the selection/purchase). Not only are they sending a CPU (serial number) specific install set for 10.4.10 but volutarially included expedited shipping at no charge (I didn't ask, suppose their way of an apology for the past week of nightmares and BOGUS information). Now that's the Apple "Support" I recall from decades past.
SO, YES, I can (and will) boot from Tiger on this CPU - and can do so either from an Internal drive partition or from GTP format Firewire RAID array.
All those claiming that such a feat is an impossibly have not researched the specifics of this model thoroughly.
Problem solved (in theory, waiting on disks)

Upgrading from Tiger to Leopard on and external (FireWire) drive...

Hi all,
I'm pretty sure this has been discussed somewhere on the www but after several hours of research, I'm embarrassed to admit I'm ready to call it quits (unless someone more tech savvy than I can help <:o)
I've been running my OS on a WD 500GB FireWire for the past couple of years. Switched to it shortly after realizing that the 80GB HD on my MacBook was insufficient for my needs.
Now I'm getting ready to upgrade from Tiger to Leopard and I've got some issues. Most importantly, when I launch the installer and it requires me to restart my system, I do so through both methods (holding down the "option" key to start up using the external HD and also by just allowing a normal boot under the old drive). In neither situation do I ever get the option to select where I'd like to install the new OS. In fact, when I allow the normal start without the "option" key being pressed, I don't even get to see the option to begin an installation. When I hold down the "option" key, I get the Mac OS X Install DVD screen (directory on the DVD), but it never gets to the point where I can start the installation.
I'm at a loss and getting a little frustrated (which has been my problem since I started with Macs--been a long time PC user and I'm always looking for the difficult way of doing things--so I'm probably just being PC-stupid as usual >;o)
Any assistance with getting me on the path to continued righteousness would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much in advance!

PS: Despite the fact that I'm PC-literate and Mac-stupid, I've managed to convince almost a dozen people to switch to Mac, simply because I'm hooked and love how the Mac community sticks together and helps one another (and also because I can't stand the Microsoft kingdom!!! <:o)

Insert the Leopard DVD in the optical drive and restart the computer. After the chime press and hold down the "C" key until the dark gray Apple logo appears on the screen. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.
When the menubar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your startup drive's entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Continue with the installation process until you reach the point where you must select a Target drive. Select your Target drive then click on the Options button in the lower left corner of the dialog.
Select the Archive and Install option.
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
Your target drive must have repaired OK when you repaired it. Otherwise do not continue.
You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

Step 3: Boot your PC with the burned CD/DVD or USB disc to reset windows password.
You need to insert the Created CD/DVD or USB drive into the optional drive of the locked computer and reboot it.
Tips: It your computer still boots from hard drive Windows OS, it's necessary for you to change your COMS or BIOS settings to make it boot from CD/DVD or USB drive. If you don’t know how to set it, you may visit the official website: http://www.resetwindowspassword.net or contact the computer manufacture.
The computer boots from CD/DVD or USB drive, then

How I got 48.11gb FREE on my MBA SSD.

Got the MBA today and i am LOVING IT.
Here's how I got 48gb free -- and my reasoning behind it...
1. I followed everything in this article -- http://guides.macrumors.com/CompleteSteps_to_Perform_a_Clean_OS_X_Reinstall_on_Your_MacBookAir. I remote installed using my old PBG4's drive. It took about 1.5 hours. The short install time was most likely due to the fact that there was very little to install!
In the article, for Step #10, *I unchecked everything*.
For the bundled apps, my reasoning was as follows: I don't need official help documents (200 mb) b/c these are all online... iWeb is worthless... iMovie and iDVD are similarly pointless on a computer w/no DVD drive (and I've never used them once since they came out)... Garageband might be useful to musicians but that I am not... iPhoto -- while nice to have -- has largely served as a conduit to get my pictures up into Picasa. Photo editing and viewing has all gone online these days. I'll most likely need at least the Picasa Uploader in the future, but I'm going to hold off on iPhoto for as long as I can. (However, I'll miss using the trackpad to rotate and zoom in on pics using iPhoto.)
When and if I ever need these apps, I can remote install them using Disc 1.
Note: during the install, I didn't need to insert the second disc b/c I unchecked XCode, which I don't need.
2. As the article suggest, I also manually deleted the voice files in the System folder.
3. I then bought a license for xSlimmer and dumped all of my apps and utilities into it, freeing up about 700 more mb. I was hesitant to do this so I backed up all of my apps (a feature of the program) to an external hard drive. Obviously, the backup can't stay on the MBA -- I need the space!
Note: Despite my hesitations on app instability, 90% of what was slimmed came from Mail, iTunes, Address Book, etc, apps that still have 17 useless languages even IF you chose to ditch all languages besides English in Step #10 of the MacRumors article.
4. I deleted Chess... If I ever need to play it, I'll play online -- w/other people as it was meant to be played!
*5. That puts me at 48.11gb!*
6. My philosophy going forward -- and the entire reason I bought the MBA -- is to be as online and web app-dependent as possible. That's where the future lies and part of the reason I bought into the MBA philosophy (while an expensive one) is b/c I believe in this trend. I'm an advocate of an online existence and as such, I'm going to try to live in such a manner.
Future apps I'll most likely dump -- Mail, which I don't think I've even opened in a year... iCal, which I only keep b/c I sync my Google Calendars to iCal and then to my iPhone... Dictionary, which is inferior to more complete online dictionaries... Stickies, iChat, Time Machine -- again, these are all cutesy apps, but realistically, the first two are now done better online (meebo, gChat, facebook) and for the latter, I don't see the point of being a zealous backup fiend if I have nothing to backup in the first place! (Although, I've done just fine w/SuperDuper the past 2 years.)
7. For my iTunes library, which is over 200gb, I bought a Western Digital 320gb Passport on eBay for ~ $100 and plan to listen to music w/the external connected while at home.
While on the go, I'm pretty good w/the 16gb on my iPhone.
Also, music is now so 2.0 I enjoy discovering and hearing music through services like last.fm and Pandora. (If iTunes were ever to become more of a social network and be more open, they could really have something, but I think Songbird might have already beat them to it...)
8. Future apps I'll most likely install -- Scrivener, iWork, Camino (a second browser is always nice), VLC, xTorrent.
9. I also plan and hope to one day upgrade the 64gb to a 128. This AnandTech article -- http://www.anandtech.com/mac/showdoc.aspx?i=3226 -- is the single best review I've read of the MBA. It leads me to believe by the end of the year, upgrading to a 128gb might be possible.
Sorry for the long post. I just though I'd share some thoughts w/everyone.
- david

Thank you!
I haven't read all of your post yet but from what I have read I believe we are in agreement. I have copied it into my notes on the MacBook Air. When I get $ together and get my MBA I will definitely be going back and studying your post in detail.
Thanks again!

Hp officejet pro 8000 a809 installed locally on vista business with driver 8.12.2008cant share to xp

My customer has a HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809 installed locally on Vista Business with driver 8.12.2008 He wants to share this for use on the XP PC but after installation on XP and trying to go into printer properties the message comes up "The HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809 Series' printer driver is not installed on this computer. etc etc Do you want to install the driver now? It doesnt matter if you go through the installation process or not, when you try and print a test page you get "Test page failed to print. Would you like to troubleshoot etc"
I have tried installing the XP drivers locally AND on the Vista PC but with no luck. On the shared tab under "additional drivers" there are only Vista drivers listed.
Any advice gratefully received.

Depending on the model of the unit it may not be wireless. if it says A809n then it is a wireless model, but the A809a model is not. http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01659070.pdf Here is the manual for that unit in case you need it.

How to get bass redirection/Vista Ultimate x64/Audigy 2

This is how I got 2. sound working again (no CMSS "double"-stereo so far, which would be 4., but at least it sounds right now) on Vista x64 and an Audigy 2 ZS.
First of all, get rid of anything creative driver related (in my case, the January Beta), reboot. It should not know both the Gameport and the Soundcard. Then, run the installer with the "No driver for the Gameport found" window open. Install the Audio Console, don't reboot yet, open the Gameport window, say "look for a driver online etc." which should result in some "This inf is for Win98 and up" error. Ok, reboot. The Gameport will not work, no matter what you do ...
Go to the Audioconsole, select 5., insert your original Audigy 2ZS driver CD. Open "Audio\SpkSet", right-click the "setup.exe" and select run in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP2. Then, right-click and "Run as administrator". Should take looong (a few minutes), but it installs the Speaker Settings. You can run them from Start Menu->Creative->Speaker Settings, enable bass redirection, done. Didn't work with the beta drivers here because the speaker setting installer complained about no matching hardware found.
Note, the drivers are still WDM based (i.e., actually XP x64 drivers) and not UAA based, so the XP software finds the same hooks. Curious when a /real/ Vista driver will appear (i.e., not WDM based). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Driver_Model & http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uni'versal_Audio_Architecture
Sound quality is a bit lower than on XP (it sounds as if the amplifier has some problems, when I have some bass the rest becomes quieter, which didn't happen on XP, and I have the feeling there is some high-frequency noise floating around ... couldn't equalize it yet), but I have no hickups or scratches.Message Edited by Audigy2ZSUser on 03-0-20070:5 AM

And exactly why don't you simplay use the audio console 2.40.09 which works perfectly with bass redir on vista32 and 64?

How I got the .4181 OS finally installed and running stable

Hi folks,
after a very long night shift, I am "proud" to announce that my Z10 is now running stable in 4181 without any missing functionalities. (even phone calls seem to work properly :-) )
Interested in how I got there, then just read on:
IMPORTANT:
If not already done, BACKUP ALL DATA on Your Z10 device, You´ll surely need this Backup! :-)
After the everlasting security wipe, which I tried to interrupt several times, by pulling the battery (and the SIM) out, it finally stopped and showed me the connect to PC icon on the screen of the Z10.
So I connected my Z10 and restored the factory FW using the BlackBerry Link Software, WITHOUT having the SIM inserted.
After the first initial setup, I looked for SW Updates, but (and of course) none was presented, due to the missing SIM, so I continued to do some basic setups and "testing" the bare system. All went fine.
After that, I reinserted my SIM, powered the Z10 up and tried to copy the previous backup back onto the Z10, which was (another of course and obviously) not possible, due to mismatching SW-Releases.
So with the SIM inserted, connected to a WiFi and my mobile carrier, I once again checked for updates and voila, .4181 was available, this time having 359MB.
(--> BlackBerry just seems to provide the "basic emergency" OS, all further updates and releases are distributed through Your individual mobile carrier)
I initiated that download, went to bed to get at least a few hours of sleep and when I woke up, I did, what the display on the Z10 wanted: Restart the device.
The then following boot sequence was fast and smooth, reaching the 100% in just under two minutes, no freeze, no hangers, no being stuck.
There I had my bare device on which I could copy my previously carried out backup again in no time!
Of course I had to reenter the some passwords and the SMS were gone, but looking at the last days, I think this is the biggest progress of it all ;-))
THIS is how I did it. Of course I know that I defied against some of the most important rules and therefore I can and will not give You any guarantees that this "solution" will work unlimited, but considering my high level of frustration and how angry I was, these measures seemed legit to me and I can tell, they just worked fine! ;-)
the steps in summary:
- Backup all Data
- do a Security Swipe
- extract SIM
- reset to factory presets using BlackBerry Link
- re insert SIM
- look for provider updates
- install
- copy previous backup to device
- don´t worry
- be happy
PS: Don´t panic, if it takes longer or if nothing seems to happen. What I burnt mostly the last days, where minutes, hours and days
Thumbs up and fingers crossed. I hope this might help You aswell!
If it does, feel free to like this "solution" :-)
Paddy

Sorry for not being detailed enough.
I have Vista: Ultimate 32 bit edition. Everything works the stereo the 5. surround sound but the main things I did notice is that alot of the options like the crystalizer and various options wouldn't save. They would definately work just when I went into creative console to adjust some more they all went back to the default settings even though they worked and were changed earlier.
Whilst playing Call of Duty 2 it wouldn't use the EAX, I haven't tried other games . I would recommend staying with XP as of right now if you have uninstalled Vista and wait for proper drivers , there is no guarantee the way I installed or explained how to fix will work for you. Just as others before have gotten things to work with different steps to install they did not work for you, so mine not work for you. If you still have Vista installed then why not give my simple step a shot in my first post.

I had iLife pre-installed on my aluminium Macbook 2009 with OSX Leopard on it. My hard drive broke but got most of the info off it and just installed snow Leopard on to a new drive and then downloaded and installed Mountain Lion over it. Now I don't have iLife anymore. How do I get it back?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Mac OS X doesn't come with iLife applications, so you have to install them manually after installing Mac OS X.
Insert the Applications disc or Mac OS X Install Disc 2 DVD and install iLfe applications. Then, open  > Software Update, and install the latest update. If you want, you can purchase iMovie, GarageBand and iPhoto in the App Store, so you will get the most recent version

How do I install Tiger on a Mini

I have a 2009 Mac Mini which came with Leopard, I have upgraded to Snow Leopard and am very unhappy with this OS. Can and if so how do I install Tiger?
I have tried inserting the Tiger install disc and everything freezes up!

Phooey! I was afraid of that.
I'm afraid my wife and I are getting old and set in our ways. The loss of the "Home" folder in he Dock, the new appearance of Safari and Google, and many of the "new" features expanded our learning curve beyond it's limits. My wife is legally blind and uses a 37" display with magnification and voice-over. Navigating a new screen has been very difficult. Besides, I can not find a feature in Leopard or Snow Leopard that makes a change worthwhile.
I may have to dig out her eMac!

How do I install Tiger on a 2nd Internal Drive?

As nice as some of Leopard's features are, it's too bug ridden for me in its current state. It lives on my primary drive, and I would like to do a fresh install of Tiger (retail) on my second internal drive. How would I go about accomplishing this? Should I press C when booting with the Tiger disc in the drive? I'm assuming that I'll be able to access all my files and applications on the Leopard drive when done. Is that a safe assumption?

So, when I boot off the install DVD it will give me the choice as to which drive to install to? I will remember the clone thing for the next OS release, that's for sure...
