HT1338 My computer will run on 10.5 and is currently on 10.4.11. Where can I obtain this reference release? 10.6 is beyond the spec of the machine.
I have inherited a 2005 IMAC G5 which will run on 10.5 Leopard but not 10.6 Snow Leopard. For my purposes it is still a serviceable bit of kit but it runs on 10.4.11 presently. I have upgraded the memory to 2.5GB but cannot seem to locate a copy of 10.5 anywhere. Does anyone know where I can obtain a legitimate reference upgrade from? Many thanks.
Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
MB022Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Installation and Setup Guide
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/leopard_install-setup.pdf
After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
The DVD should look like this
Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

I haven't used my computer in a month, so when I turned it on, I saw it was running slow. The circle that is used to load the page kept coming up and it took sometime for things to load up. I tried to go Into safe mode, and it worked, but I know your limited on what you can do in that world. I also tried to repair the disk but it kept giving me an error message. How can I resolve this problem?
Time Machine is a back up you have to set up to back up before there is a problem like a hard drive failure.
It is possible to recover files from a failed drive, but it is an expensive proposition.
There is a faint hope that an app like Disk Warrior or TechTool Pro might repair the drive. You could try making an appointment at an Apple store and ask a technician there to take a look... the diagnosis will not cost you.

Is anyone else having this problem? I rely on my computer heavily for work and school and this is just not acceptable! After paying $125 for a brand new battery I would have never expected these problems.
I'm sure that if you search hard enough, you'll find someone else who has had a similar problem, but that does not mean that it is remotely normal or common. Apple definitely needs to replace the machine, but don't be afraid that the same thing will happen with the new one.
Of course, that's assuming that this wasn't a case of user error. It's hard to understand how it could be, but in my years of tech support, I've learned to never discount such possibilities. I've seen people do things like forceably shove plugs into the wrong ports, seemingly oblivious to the fact that it doesn't fit and insistent that it should. -

You may try to buy elsewhere. You may come across offers of new and unopened box sets, and used ones. There is quite a number of rules concerning the legality of taking over Adobe software from others, in some cases requiring a licence transfer. -
Computer freezing run assist for airport and isp is failed
computer freezing run assist for airport and isp is failed. Go thru assist me and then it will reconnect the isp... I reset my 2wire thinking that would help but no.
Without more information, it's hard to tell what's wrong... Obliviously something has changed in your environment, if it has been working just fine before. Still, I'd do some testing, step by step with psexec (running under system account like the TS engine),
add some logging on all of the steps and try to solve the problem that way. You really, really should consider using app model with single script (with your own logging) to deploy your application. If you don't know why it has to use AD account for installation,
I'd contact the vendor and ask, that's just silly way for an installer to work, or have you even tried does it work with system account? You could also use procmon to actually see what's happening under the hood when the installer runs (with the Ad account
and with SYSTEM account).... -

My iPad 2 will no longer Sync with iTunes on my computer. It tells me to Restore which I don't want to do as I may lose valuable information from my iPad. My wife's iPad 2 and my ipod still Sync OK. How can I overcome this?
Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
$19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard. -

I just upgraded my 2008 macbook pro to OS X Maverick from Snow Leopard but my computer is running a bit buggy and slow. How do I downgrade back down to snow leopard?
You would reinstall 10.6 using your installation DVD.
Out of curiosity, how much RAM do you have? Recent versions of OS X really shine with 4GB or more.

change the line ending to LF so this script will run properly on Mac and Unix. Some testsuites were breaking because this script was not executing properly on mac

Modified Paths:
flex/sdk/branches/4.x/bin/fontswfOn reflection, it seems much easier/safer to do something like this instead...
When running in Arch, but viewing a partition with another installation's data on it, do directory listings like this:
ls -l | FILTER
where FILTER is a script that pulls out the Arch-announced users and groups, converts them to numeric if necessary (according to Arch's understanding), and then stuffs back in what the other installation thinks are the symbols corresponding to those numbers. This was easy enough to do, and doesn't risk breaking anything.
Marking as SOLVED, but I'd still welcome feedback about the different ways different distributions understand the groups I cited. It's very hard to track this info down. -

Advance warning - Mail worked fine.
I had fits with the last link I posted. At first it worked fine, then all of a sudden, it quit working. I now have iCloud - iCal syncing, but iCal is read only. Not a real big deal since you can log onto iCloud using Safari and post a new event.
I finally gave up on Address Book because it kept creating multiple contacts, which if you tried to merge or delete the multiple contacts, the contacts were deleted. It also worked at first and then stopped working as it should. -

<Edited by Host>You can upgrade to Mountain Lion
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?

I recently purchased Aperture from App store and this was running fine until I upgraded to Mountain Lion. Now when I start Aperture it asks me for a Serial Number . Where can I find this as it was a download and I have no packaging?
I also have this problem! Mine is also not from the App Store. I had purchased Aperture 1, then upgrades for both version 2 and version 3. It's annoying as it is, but I also have to enter my previous serial number as well since it was an upgrade.
Following this thread in the hopes that someone will have a solution.
