How to use Leopard Install disk as bootup disk?

I have not tried this, but exactly how is the original Leopard Install disk used as a bootup disk? Is there a way to exactly duplicate this disk in case the original becomes unusable?
Thanks

To duplicate the disc you will need a dual-layer DVD-R and a Mac with a DL burner (check System Profile to assure you have a compatible optical drive.)
Duplicate a CD or DVD
1. Insert the DVD/CD;
2. Open Disk Utility, and select the DVD/CD from the left side list (select the DVD/CD icon on top);
3. from the DU File menu select New | Disk Image from Disk 1;
4. Choose to format the disk image as DVD/CD Master, name the disk image and click Save;
5. When the .cdr file is finished select it with mouse and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info and check the box to lock the file;
6. Choose the .cdr file from the left side list, click Burn, and insert a new, blank DVD or CD.
It is also possible to create a bootable partition on an external drive that functions exactly as the DVD. You need an external drive partitioned using the GUID partition scheme and formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) You would then clone the DVD to the partition on the external drive as follows:
How to Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the external volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
5. Select the external volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Insert the OS X Installer DVD into the optical drive and wait for it to mount on the Desktop.
7. Select the OS X Installer DVD from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
8. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.

Repair Disk & Repair Permissions Using Leopard Install Disk NOT WORKING!!

I start up from my Leopard disk and click the Mac OS Partition in disk utility and two things go wrong...
Firstly, when I click either verify or repair permissions the progress bar stays as the moving angled lines forever (haven't tried leaving it for more than five minutes though).
Secondly, when I verify my disk it says everything appears to be okay, but when I try and repair the disk it says "The disk Macintosh HD cannot be unmounted" so I am unable to repair my disk. Are these fixable issues or is it a Leopard thing?

UPDATE: I let Repair Permissions run for a good twenty minutes and it worked, just took a long time, this in turn fixed my Repair Disk problem, so I'm all set.

How to use Boot Camp without an operating disk

Purchased my iMac and received an upgrade to Snow Leapord a week later. Have upgraded several times and now have Lion operating system. Have never received an operating system disc.
Used Boot Camp to partition for PC programs. Boot Camp does not work properly without "insert operating system disc" being completed.
Any one have an idea as to how to get a functioning partition without the operating system disc ??

I suspect that you're asking about an OSX installation disc, not a Windows disc.
There could be one of two issues here.
If Boot Camp is asking for an installation disc BEFORE it's able to partition the drive, it's asking for your Windows installation disc. You should have one if you purchased Windows. You need to purchase Windows to use Boot Camp. I recommend buying the full version of Windows Home or Pro, not the upgrade version -- the upgrade is difficult to install for non-experts.
If you're looking for an OSX installation disc, and, like me, you upgraded to Lion through the app store, you will have to go through a back-door process in order to create this disc. Here's an article on this. http://www.macworld.com/article/161069/2011/07/make_a_bootable_lion_installer.ht ml (I can't guarantee it works. I made a disc like this because I thought I needed it to reload from a Time Machine backup, but it turns out that Lion doesn't require the disc for this, so I never used it.)
When I installed Boot Camp and Windows, I didn't need the OSX installation disc. I'm not sure why you would, in this process. It should only ask for your Windows disc.
If for some reason you downloaded Windows from Microsoft instead of buying a package with a disc, you need to download the ISO version and burn it to a DVD. See this article on downloading the ISO: http://www.mydigitallife.info/windows-7-iso-x86-and-x64-official-direct-download -links-ultimate-professional-and-home-premium/ (Make sure you choose the ISO that matches the version you bought).
Here's instructions on burning an ISO with Disk Utility: http://lifehacker.com/251758/mac-tip--how-to-burn-an-iso-or-dmg-file-to-disc And this thread on burning a Windows DVD in OSX: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2039118?start=0&tstart=0 (Summary: you can use Disk Utility to burn the ISO, but choose a slow burn speed)
Lots to read but that should hopefully help.

I do not know how to use i dvd to burn a disk

I would like to make a copy of some of my dvd movies that I have and I do not know where to start. How do I import the movie to the computer and then burn it to a new disk? Thanks for any help I can get. I am new to mac and it has been a rough change for me. I am having trouble with a few of the features on this computer that were sale point when I bought it.

I would like to make a copy of some of my dvd movies
that I have and I do not know where to start.
iDVD is for creating new DVDs with your digital movie clips from something like iMovie.
iDVD ISN'T a disk copying application.
If the DVDs you have are not commercial copy-protected DVDs you can use Apple's Disk Utility to copy them. See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42724 How to copy previously-burned DVD-R video discs
If the DVDs have your home movies on them, and you want to bring them in to iMovie for editing, you can use something like DVDxDV from http://www.dvdxdv.com/DVDxDV.overview.htm to extract the movies from the DVDs.

How to use old Time Capsule als external disk

I just bought a new 3TB TC. I want to use the old one as an external disk and I also have some files on there I want to use. the new 3TBTC connected nicely, but the old TC on ethernet cable is not recognized by Mac Pro.
How do i connect the old TC to Mac Pro to use as occasional external disk?
thanx
Frank

Factory reset the old TC.. plug it by ethernet into the network.. straight into the new TC is the obvious place.
The Mac should then be able to find it.. if not I can suggest how to do it manually in full isolation from the network.
Airtport Utility can't find Airport Time Capsule on either of my 2009 Macs

How to use application builder to generate installation disk without compiling the the support files?

Hello,
What I am trying to do is to use LV application builder generating an installation disk without compiling the support files. I mean:
the support fils like the help files are located on a different directory , for example, installation disk is D drive, help file directory is: D:\Help\..., not compiled in the installation Data set.
So, when the installation disk is running, it only copy this directory file into the destiny directory. Of course, we can write a different bat file to do this. However, beside this method, is there any way, like using LV application builder to do this without writing a batch file. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

For LabVIEW 7.1, this can be done in a few short steps. First, add your help file as a support file in the Application Builder. Then go to the Installer tab, choose to create an installer and click on the Files button at the bottom. From this dialog (shown below), you can specify the destination for each component in your install package. If you have added your help file as a support file, it will show up in the Files in Installation list. Click on your help file to highlight it. You can now choose where to install the file to by specifying an installation destination and a subdirectory. The default subdirectory is called data, but if you want to change that, just type in a new subdirectory name as I have done below:
Hope this helps!

Gutenprint - how to use to install a printer?

The instructions in the supplied doc and the instructions in the apple docs here do not match the dialogues I am being offered.
Presumably updates have superceded the docs.
I can see the PSC 1300, but I cannot see how to assign Gutenprint to it (which I have installed).
Help?
Anthony

To add a USB printer, Tiger (OS X 10.4.x) users should open the Printer Setup Utility and click on the Add icon at the top of the Printer List window. A new window will open. In that window, click the Default Browser icon at the top left. Highlight your printer in the section below. Use the "Print Using" pop-up menu near the bottom of the window to select the correct PPD for your printer and click Add.

How to use iTunes installed in PC as video converter

I just got new ipad & understood that video format other than .mov & .mp4 will not play in Ipads. Somewhere I read that the iTunes software installed in my windows PC can do the conversion job from avi to mp4 format, so that after that it can be synced from PC to Ipad through iTunes.
Based on above suggestion, I tried to import the avi file into my iTunes library of PC from PC D-Drive. But it doesn't happen and I didn't get any errro too.
It just looks blank... Need your support to conver the avi files to mp4 using itunes and appreciate your help.

In I tunes, connect the pad, and pull up the movies tab. Move whatever video you want into that library, either by dragging, or include the library in I tunes.
Then at the top of I tunes, click on advanced tab. One of the choices is 'create I pad version'. I think you need to have the specific file checked. When I did this it took several of my old avi snippets, and created new files that synced and played on the pad.
This will not deal will all files, and you may need a different converter. I am am Mac guy, so my converter won't work for you, but there are plenty of pc based converters lying around.
To get the video to show up in iTunes, try the advanced tab, then sync.

How to use Time Machine to backup a disk image

I have my iPhoto libray in a disk image in the shared folder so that it can be shared by two user accounts. Is there a way to use Time Machine to backup the mounted image? I don't want to backup the entire disk image file every time there is a change in iPhoto (over 200GB!). I'd like to just backup the changes, but so far, it doesn't seem to work?

There is no way to back up a mounted, writable disk image with Time Machine. If you want to keep data on a disk image, the best option is to convert it to a sparsebundle, which consists of many small files instead of one big file. It will be backed up much more efficiently, but only when not mounted.

How to use iMovie with an External Hard DIsk

This seems to be a common question for the obvious reason that Movie folders rapidly become too large for the main HD, especially on a laptop, or if you want to use the same Movies folder on two Macs (eg iMac and MBP). Searching Apple Support and the forum comes up with some rather complicated answers. I think I have found a very simple one, which seems to work. So I'm posting this as an answer rather than a question, but any comments/problems humbly accepted.
Copy your movies folder from your home folder to the external drive (and preferably, for back-up reasons, to another drive too), then delete the movies folder in your home folder.
Make an alias of the new Movies folder, and copy it back to your home folder. If you were now to try to open iMovie, it wouldn't work, so now comes the important bit that I discovered by trial and error. Quit iMovie (if open), and rename the alias from "Movies alias" to just "Movies". Re-open iMovie, and bingo, all your events and projects appear!
I've tried it and created a new project and it all seems to work.
One word of caution - if you are relying on Time Machine as your sole backup, I don't think TM will automatically back up the contents of the aliased folder, so you need to set it up to do so, or make other arrangements for backing up.
Is it really this easy?

You can use an external by creating the exact folders called "iMovie Events" and "iMovie Projects". They must be on the top directory ( ie, WD500/iMovie Events/) in order for iMovie to find them.
Be warned. I believe Time Machine is messing with the source path names. If you use Time Machine, it may cause you to lose linkage to source clips.

How to use installed agent?

Hi all,
   EM: 12.1.0.2
   Host: RedHat 6.3 64 bits
   DB: 11.2.0.3
   I have installed successfully the Grid Control 12c on HOST01. I suppose that the installation install all the Grid control 12c binaries and an agent in the host where the repository database is. What i want to know is how to use that installed agent to monitor the repository database? I tried to manually add a target to host HOST01, but an error appears to me saying that an agent is already installed on the machine. How to use that agent to monitor my repository database?
Thanks in advance.

You can discover (add) the repository database target to start monitoring it using the following steps:
- Navigate to Setup > Add Target > Add Targets Manually
- From the Add Targets Manually page, select Add Non-Host Targets Using Guided Process
- From the Target Types drop-down list, select Oracle Database, Listener and Automatic Storage Management
- Click Add Using Guided Discovery
- From the Add Database Instance Target: Specify Host page, select the host where the repository resides, and click Continue
- Follow the process to discover the repository database

Big problem with plain blue screen on boot (not related to Leopard install)

Hi - eventually I have worked out how to post to this forum!
I have had a major disaster with my iMac this weekend. It began with a lock-up when I was working happily away in Blender. I got a beachball and the machine froze. I had ssh set up so I tried to go in from my iBook to kill a few processes to try to get it back on track, but without success, so eventually I had to hold down the power button to power off the machine.
When I tried to reboot, I got the grey screen and the spinning wheel, then a plain blue screen with no mouse, no beachball and the machine just seemed to stop. I could hear the CPU going like the clappers and was able to ssh in again and check top to see what was going on, and the WindowServer(?) process was maxed out at 100%. I wasn't able to kill it and again nothing happened and on a further reboot I just had a plain blue screen.
I have since spent a few hours trying various things to sort this out, so far to no avail.
- Single User mode, fsck -fy: reports everything fine, no change
- Reset PRAM, no change
- Tried booting off my backup Firewire drive (SuperDuper) but it won't boot to it, same blue screen hang
- Ran Disk Utility from Leopard Install DVD - permissions, checked disk, etc - no change
- Ran DiskWarrior in Target Disk mode from iBook, no change
- Ran Tech Tool Deluxe, no change
- Removed RAM (not third party), put it back in, no change
- Reinstalled Leopard using Archive & Install, no change
- Reinstalled Leopard again, using Erase & Install, no change
- I think I'm running out of options.
I'd have been on the phone to Apple by now but it's Sunday tomorrow and a Bank Holiday in the UK tomorrow so it will be Tuesday at the earliest, and I know I'm going to be frustrated by having to go through all this with them again!
A weird thing is - I CAN get logged in in Safe Mode now and again, and when I do, the mouse pointer has a small, almost transparent rectangular graphic attached that follows the pointer around. Barely perceptible but it's there - it looks like a Leopard icon for a txt file but barely visible. Has anyone ever seen anything like this?? It really feels like something has corrupted, but with a totally clean OS install, is that possible?
As it stands, I'm sure this is a hardware issue but I'm not sure. I had a couple of power outages lately which I suspect are behind this.
I'd be really grateful for anyone's thoughts on this - it's been a really frustrating couple of days.
Cheers.

As far as I can see, resetting the power manager on this model of iMac involves resetting the SMC, which is unplugging all cables for 15 seconds, plugging back in and powering up. Tried that too, same result. In terms of third party software, nothing. Clean Leopard install is the lot.

How do I erase my hard drive? My initial operating system was Snow Leopard but I have upgraded to Mavericks OS. My Snow Leopard install disk ejects when I try and use it.

Do a backup, preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Reformat the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the OS.
