How to clone and install Leopard?

Every time I update my OS to the latest version I seem to always have issues. Recently someone suggested that I clone my hard drive first then install the new OS. I am about to buy a certain application that will clone my hard drive but am confused on how I go about making it work.
I understand that I copy the contents of my hard drive to an external hard drive (the clone) via SuperDuper. Do a test to make sure the computer starts up from the external drive. After that checks out do I go through the process of installing Leopard or do I erase everything on the system drive, then install Leopard. When do I drag the "cloned" files back over so that everything is how I had it originally?
This is why I am confused!

Whatever you use, SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner, you follow the instructions and clone/duplicate what's on your internal HD onto the external HD. Then, you select the clone via System Preferences->Startup Disk->click restart. That boots the machine with the clone. If it looks and acts like the original, then you can update/upgrade either the original or the clone with the latest version of Leopard, which you indicate that you're running, so I'm a bit confused by what you're wanting to do. You don't drag cloned files anywhere. Strongly recommend that you read the documentation before doing anything.

How can I format an HD with System 10.4 and install Leopard Snow?

How can I format an HD with System 10.4 and install Leopard Snow?

You need to partion the hard drive using Disk Utility. On one partition install 10.4. On the other 10.6. As a note I trust you are doing this on a MBP and not a PPC Mac because 10.6 won't install.

Erase and install Leopard - how do I get my iWeb pages back?

Because of an issue with Photoshop CS3 I had to "erase and install" Leopard. I did backup all my files except the iWeb site... the site is still online but I can not see the pages anymore in iWeb. Does anyone know how to fix this?

iWeb does not have an "import" function whereby your published HTML could be used to rebuild your site.
The best you could do is manually retrieve your site's "content" (images, text, mp3s, etc.) from its published location. If you published to .Mac, your site's content will be on your iDisk -- accessed via the Finder > Go > iDisk > My iDisk > Web > Sites > ...
If you published elsewhere, your site's content may be accessible (downloadable) via your FTP program.
You can also display your site in a web browser and drag & drop images from there to your Desktop. Also in Safari, for example, you can do View > View Source to see your text and perhaps copy & paste it.

Format HDD and Install Leopard Again.

Hello,
I have a macbook C2D with 2GB of RAM and a 320 GB HDD.I have around 15 GB media in my iTunes.
Now I want to format my Hard disk completely and install leopard as a fresh copy.
How do I go about this?I also want to back up all my content and then restore them once I install Leopard again.
I still have the 120 GB HDD which I originally got with my MB and also an enclosure.
Please advice the procedure to follow.
Thanks

SuperDuper! is not a bit copier -- it is file based for safety & does not copy certain files to the clone.
Likewise, Setup/Migration Assistant does not do a bit-level copy. The assistant allows you to select which user account(s) to migrate & if you want to transfer applications, files and folders, or your Library folder. You can also choose whether or not you want to use your old network, time zone, and sharing settings.
I recommend one additional step in addition to what macjack provided: before doing the install, use the "Partition" tab of Disk Utility (available from the "Utilities" menu of the Installer disk) to reformat the drive. (One partition is the usual choice.) An Erase & Install does not format the drive, which includes rewriting the partition scheme information & partition(s) used for that. The extra step is quick & the only way to completely format the drive.
Note: make sure you choose the "GUID Partition Table" with the "Options..." button if you want the standard partition scheme for an Intel Mac.

Need help removing Snow Leopard and Installing Leopard

Snow Leopard was a waste of time and money. Time I could have used for much more productive work.
How can I remove snow leopard and reinstall leopard. I have the installation disc for Leopard. Can I simply install it over the top of snow leopard?
That would solve my problem for one machine (the iMac) but how do I go back to leopard if I don't have the disk? I suppose there is dmg somewhere but I haven't looked so I apologize in advance if the answer is obvious.

Insert leopard install disk-select install.
It will wipe the drive and install Leopard-all data will be gone.
You must have a legitimate, legal copy of leopard.
If you backed up the leopard dvd, you would have to burn it or figure a way to do a network install.

How to get and install the new MSI Bluetooth Software Package 1.4.3.3.

How to get and install the new MSI Bluetooth Software Package 1.4.3.3.
This little FAQ will only cover the new version of MSI Bluetooth Software Package.
First thing too do is unistall any older version of the MSI Bluetooth Software.
Do this through the Add/Remove program applet in your control panel.
There seams too be only through Live update you could get the new version of MSI Bluetooth Software Package.
If you can't see any enter for MSI Bluetooth Software in the Live driver section of Live update then you have too enter the following too your registry.
Create following code in Notepad and save it as MSILD.reg, then run the file.
;-->Code start
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MSI\Drivers\MSI Bluetooth Software]
"DrvSetup"="1"
"Version"="1.4.2.10"
;-->Code end
Rerun the Live update and hopefully you will now see a entry for MSI Bluetooth Software in Live driver section.
Install the new version of MSI Bluetooth Software and reboot your computer. Even if the setup program doesnt told you too doit.
After rebooting the computer you will see the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar. If it's Red then try too start the Bluetooth services by right click on the try icon and the only alternetiv there is.
If the Bluetooth services is asking for a valid licens.dat then you should do the following.
Surf to Jon's Bluetooth guide http://www.jonsguides.com./bluetooth/prepare.html and download the patcher from the link there.
Unzip the the patcher and then run the BTWPatcher.exe program.
Now the Bluetooth services will start and you will bee able too configure your own settings for the Bluetooth services.
If nothing of this work you could try the complete Bluetooth solution at Jon's gudie and install the IBM version of the same program. I havent test this solution and will not do soo.

I have the MS-6968 device and i want to use driver 1.4.x or 3.0.x. I found the driver 1.4.2.10 but i cannot find any WIDCOMMSecurity code.
So, can anyone give me a link for BTWPatcher.exe???
It cannot be found here (Jon's Bluetooth ) anymore.
Thanks

Mountain Lion won't install on 10.7.4. Suggestion from Apple is to completely erase harddisk and install Leopard Snow Leopard Mountain Lion. Is there no other way to install Mountain Lion

Mountain Lion won't install on 10.7.4. Suggestion from Apple is to completely erase the harddisk and install Leopard > Snow Leopard > Mountain Lion.
Is there no other way to install Mountain Lion?

I tried and failed for several hours to install Mountain Lion, and was repeatedly getting the "Recovery System" cannot be created error. I tried all the tricks: resizing the drive partition, booting from an external boot drive, all to no avail. After reading other users struggling with the same issue, I had determined it to be a boot camp drive error. However, I didn't want to have to erase and begin anew when I came upon a possible solution. I had long ago renamed my boot camp drive with a "." (".windows" for me) in order to avoid having the partition show up on my desktop. So, I boot into windows and renamed the c: drive without the "." ("windows"), and reboot into os x. The install then went off without a hitch. I hope this will be helpful for others struggling with this issue that may have renamed their boot camp drives in a similar manner.

How to create and install a toolbar to a browser using java

Hi all,
Can any one guide me about how to create and install toolbar to a browser using java ??
please any one help me about this,i am not getting any idea about this..
Thanks and Regards

I doubt you can. Those browser toolbars are done by implementing to an API provided by the browser. That API, I don't believe, is provided via Java. But of course, that would be entirely up to the browser, not Java.

How to Deinstall And Install OEM again

hi Experts,
Can somebody pls explain me how to deinstall and install OEM. ????
I can not view any options in OEM. it referes a incorret machine name.

DBMS Direct ,
As u mentioned emca didn't work for me.
when I issued the command it gave me the following ...
Oracle@DB1 $ emca -deconfig dbcontrol db -repos drop
Incorrect usage:
oracle.sysman.emcp.EMConfigAssistant [options] [list of parameters]
Options:
-a :configure for an ASM database
-b :configure for automatic backup
-c :configure a cluster database
-e <node> :remove a node from the cluster
-f <file> :specify the file name that contains parameter values
-h :help
-m :configure EM for a central agent
-n <node> :add a new node to the cluster
-r :skip creation of repository schema
-s :silent mode (no user prompts
-x <db> :deletion of a SID or DB
-RMI_PORT <port> :specify the RMI port for DB Control
-JMS_PORT <port> :specify the JMS port for DB Control
-AGENT_PORT <port> :specify the EM agent port
-DBCONSOLE_HTTP_PORT <port> :specify the DB Control HTTP port
The script will prompt for any required data that is not specified in a configuration file. The script always prompts for all required passwords. If you use a configuration file, the file may contain any of the following specifications, as shown, with the specified values correctly filled in:
And there is more to this msg.
So I think manually droping sysman would work.
So issuing only
drop user sysman cascade;
whould be enough ??? or do I have to do anything else ????
And after that how do I recreate it ....???
Is it using ,
emca -deconfig dbcontrol db -repos create.
or using some other way ????
