I have recently upgraded my iBookG4 from Tiger to Leopard 10.5.8 and find my Bluetooth USB adaptor no longer connects. The Bluetooth pane says inactive. Does Leopard require  USB 2.0. I've had the adaptor for some time so may be USB 1.0

Bluetooth icon on menu bar shows bluetooth off. When opening bluetooth preferences it shows the devices I've connected previously,( my mobile phone), and other devices I've attempted to connect but not very successfully: my iPhone and MiniMac.  The bluetooth dongle in the USB port shows a continual blue light but does not react and the iBook does not recognise that it is there. There is absolutely no reaction when I try to pair my mobile phone, which I've done successfully before upgrading to Leopard, either by the iBook or the mobile phone.
I assumed that Tiger was not bluetooth compatible with the iPhone or MacMini running SnowLeopard and hoped by upgrading to Leopard I could achieve some file transfers between the three devices (iBook, iPhone and MacMini)

  • I have recently upgraded my firmware to ios 5 on my iphone 3gs and now i cant access my photos from my computer

    i have recently upgraded my my iphone 3gs to ios 5.0.1 and now my computer doesnt recognise it as a camera. is there any way i can access my photos stored on my phone from my computer? i also dont have wifi so i cant use the icloud option.

    Hi Amy,
    I have exactly the same problem. Before the update to 5.0.1 whenever I connected my 3GS to my MacBook Image Capture used to open. Now nothing happens. When I opened Image Capture or iPhoto, either program recognized my device as the iPhone, but no pictures showed up on the screen. 
    I emailed the photo's from the iPhone to myself and that worked OK.
    Have no idea why the computer doesn't recognize the iPhone as a camera anymore.
    You haven't had any answers on your question, so no solution yet.
    Hope someone can help us.

  • How to stop the process for some time

    I want to stop the process for some time can any one give the package or keyword or example for the same
    For suppose two programs A and B.. .B will run based on output of A. What i need is... When A is executed the process will stop for 5mins then B has to execute...

    You can use signals with DBMS_ALERT to "wake up" a procedure.
    Procedure A is something like this:
    DBMS_ALERT.REGISTER('B_FINISHED');
    do logic...
    when finished - send a signal
    DBMS_ALERT.SIGNAL('A_FINISHED','B you can start');
    now wait until B is finished
    DBMS_ALERT.WAITANY(...)
    continue logic hereAnd Procedure B is
    DBMS_ALERT.REGISTER('A_FINISHED');
    wait for a to finish
    DBMS_ALERT.WAITANY(...);
    do logic...
    when finished, signal A it can continue
    DBMS_ALERT.SIGNAL('B_FINISHED','A can continue');This is useful if u they need to wait for each other within the code. if they just need to wait - call B from A.
    Hope this helps.

  • I have recently upgraded my laptop from Vista to Windows 7. All my music is on a windows file, how do I move it to i tunes library

    I have recently upgraded my laptop operating system from Vista to Windows 7. i tunes is asking me to sync my i pod, because it is recognising the Vista laptop and not the Windows 7. All my music has gone from i tunes library but it is all stored in Windows music folder(s). How can I move it all to my i tunes library?

    So your iTunes library is now empty after the upgrade?
    Simply drag the one folder (containing all of your music) into your new empty iTunes library or choose File -> Add to Library in iTunes.
    Otherwise, if they aren't all in one folder, you'll have to drag each seperate one into iTunes.

    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • I recently upgraded my computer from windows vista to windows 7 ultimate and now i have to delete all the data in my iphone?

    i have an iphone 3gs. i recently uprgaded my computer which ment it went from windows vista to windows 7 ultimate.I want to add new music from my computer to my iphone but it says i have to restore it and loose my itunes content. If i do that will i loose everything including texts and contacts? Help ! im so confused because im using the same computer as the first time!

    The iPhone "thinks" it's a new iTunes libarary because your computer has a new operating system.  As long as all your music and other media is on your computer, you will be fine.  The iPhone will be erased because it "thinks" it's a new iTunes library, and the "new library" (which is actually your unchanged data) will be put back on.

  • I lived in the uk for some time and set up my itunes while I was there. Upon moving bnack I managed to get all my music back however after my mot recent iphone update, I lost some of my songs from the uk. Not all of them. HELP!

    I lived in the uk and have now lost some of the music I purchased there. Not all of the music. I still have reciept numbers. Can I get it back?

    try changing your appleID to whatever you were using when you were acessing the UK store.  Then try to re-download the purchased music.  I am not sure if re-downloading music works from the UK store, however.  It might be US only.  If this is the case, you will need to contact iTunes support.

  • Upgrading mac mini from tiger to leopard with broken DVD drive (long)

    bonjour.
    I have a macmini (1.42PPC) with a broken DVD drive running tiger on which i would like to install leopard (from scratch). I have a retail DVD of leopard, and a macbook. Other equipment includes a PSP and an 8Gb memory stick duo, usb cables, a 40Gb ipod with firewire cable. Wireless keyboard and mouse.
    I've created a bootable image of my leopard DVD onto the 8Gb memory stick in the PSP using the macbook. I can plug the PSP into the macbook and the memory stick mounts as the leopard install DVD. I run InstallOSX and i'm prompted to reboot. Upon rebooting, my macbook boots from the memory stick in the PSP attached via USB and the language option menu of the install process appears. So far so good. I shutdown the macbook.
    I then take my bootable image of my leopard DVD and plug it into the macmini. It automounts, i run InstallOSX and i'm prompted to reboot and the macmini restarts.
    Unfortunately, the macmini reboots from it's internal HDD, and not the memory stick attached via USB so the installation fails.
    Is there a way i can force the macmini to boot or reboot from the USB drive? I only have a wireless keyboard. Does the macmini in fact support booting from a USB device at all?
    I don't know much about the firmware shipped with the macmini, and can not access it during startup to take a look as i have a wireless keyboard. Can i access the firmware from the booted macmini to change the boot device, like i can with a Sun Solaris box (eeprom)
    Could there be another solution that wouldn't involve playing with the firmware?
    I don't have the option of buying additional equipement.
    Any thoughts on this problem would be welcome.
    best wishes
    jack
    ps. I added (long) to topic subject, not to phish, but to save others' time, as it's quite a long and boring post

    thanks for your advice, however this is all but impossible as i have a wireless keyboard which doesn't permit me boot into anything but the OS, as the keyboard and bluetooth drivers don't load early enough in the boot process.
    however, i did find a firewire cable, so this is what i did:
    booted the macmini in target mode and added a 10Gb partition to it from the macbook, onto which i restored the leopard DVD image
    booted the mac mini normally, and it mounted my new partition. I just ran the install from there et voila

  • Firefox shuts down of its own accord when I haven't touched the pc for some time, usually overnight.

    As above. When I restart Firefox it always opens in the same position on the monitor and the same size window even though that wasn't the last position/size as when I left it.
    This is not a crash, it just disappears.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • UPGRADING from TIGER to LEOPARD causes audio plug ins scan WAVES PROBLEMS

    I have upgraded my G5 from Tiger to Leopard and am now running 10.5.8. I am using LOGIC PRO 8 and have upgraded that to 8.0.2. When i open LOGIC PRO and it starts to scan the audio plug ins-it causes a problem that sends me to PACE-the Interlok site for my WAVES-it says this:
    IMPORTANT!
    If you're running Mac OS X 10.5 or above and your software keeps driving you back to this site, even after installing the latest extensions, then you need to update your software, not the extensions. Contact the publisher of the software you're trying to use regarding a 10.5 compatible update. Please don't contact PACE. Only the publisher of your software can resolve this issue.
    SO-i downloaded their latest extension and i keep getting brought back to their site. My software IS updated -from 8 to 8.0.2

  • What will I lose when upgrading from Tiger to Leopard

    I am relatively new to Macs and am concerned about what I will lost if we upgrade out Mac mini server from Tiger to leopard. There was a time when new Apple computers were not backward compatible, certainly Microsoft upgrades always have issues. Thus I have fear for performing an upgrade from Tiger to Leopard on our server without knowing what we are in for.
    I looked at some of the discussion threads here and elsewhere. I see a lot of minutiae but none that would be an issue to me. Then again, no one seems to put out a publication (including/especially Apple) that say here are the possible drawbacks.
    I guess our biggest concern in our existing data. Are there any types of document formats that we will no longer be able to read?
    I assume Office, Photoshop and those types of programs will be fine as surely the publishers have issues the necessary updates. Is that correct?
    Are there any mainstream issues that could come as a surprise to us and present serious problems?
    Thank you,
    Robert

    I guess our biggest concern in our existing data. Are there any types of >>document formats that we will no longer be able to read?
    Only if the applications which open those documents run in Classic.
    And only if you do not have another program that can open them.
    for example, Filemaker...I used FM5 (classic app)...OSX versions of FM were both overkill for my needs and cost prohibitive, so I never upgraded.
    Lost access to all those files.
    Fortunately, I was able to download a demo of FM9, open the files, export them to XLS format, then open them in either excel or numbers. Of course, lost the database functionality, embedded images were no longer there, and calculated fields failed, but at least the data fields converted.
    The issue in photoshop, from what I understand, is saving to a network drive.
    (possible file corruption)
    Save locally, then copy to a network drive, and pshop should work fine.
    Are you already on Intel, or are you on PPC? you may find some other quirks if you are also upgrading to an Intel based system.
    Things like QT and browser plugins that are not Universal binaries.

  • Mail: From Tiger to Leopard

    I am upgrading my computer from Tiger to Leopard (via a clean install) and would like to transfer all of my Tiger Mail messages/attachments/addresses/etc. to the Mail on Leopard.
    What's the simplest way to do so? Is there a way to export my messages and then important them into Leopard's Mail after the installation?
    Thank you.

    This depends on how you plan to upgrade from Tiger to Leopard. If you literally use the Upgrade install option, then your mail will be imported automatically as soon as you open Mail for the first time.
    If you are installing Leopard via Erase and Install then you can import your old mailboxes from your backups using Mail's import option. Open Mail, select Mail Help from the Help menu and search for "import" to get the instructions.
    If you install Leopard using Archive and Install and use the option to preserve users and network preferences, then your old data will be transferred into the new Leopard installation. Mail will import the data when you open it for the first time.
    The above also applies generally to Address Book and iCal data. You can also transfer the data manually from a backup:
    Folders You Can Move to Your new Mac
    From the Home folder copy the contents of Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites.
    In your /Home/Library/ folder:
    /Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
    Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
    /Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)
    /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
    /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
    If you want cookies:

  • I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and have recently upgraded to Mountain Lion. Now airport utility won't work with my base station so I bought a Time Capsule. For the life of me I can't make the substitution work and only see a blinking amber light.

    I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and have recently upgraded to Mountain Lion. Now airport utility won't work with my base station so I bought a Time Capsule. For the life of me I can't make the substitution work and only see a blinking amber light. Can anyone who has made this change offer some advice?

    The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
    1)  I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access.  But do I have to  change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
    Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
    So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
    2)  Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
    N.Korean hackers.
    [Edit] Whoops-- one more question:  I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it.  What do I need to do?
    You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
    Look at Q3 here.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
    Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together.
