I want to use Panthers iCal on Leopards OS?

I upgraded to Leopard OS and hate the new iCal with a vengeance. Does any one know if I can re-install my old iCal from the original disk or will I have to install the whole Panther OS as well? I'm a bit afraid to try in case Leopard gets taken off and I have to start all over again.

AppleMan...I have the same iMac you have...i-7 16GB with a SSD....just bought it second hand and it is about 1.5 years old....it was maxed out with upgrades when the original owner bought it. It was also restored back to factory settings prior to me taking possession.
I am making home movies in iMovie 11....max length 30 minutes or less. I am totally new to this editing. I am using HD footgage filmed from my Hero GoPro 3. I am finding that the movies that I am creating are skipping, staggering, hanging up etc...usually where I had transitions. I am certain I have enough power and memory in my iMac, so what's the issue? I read one of your other posts about optimizing each event or clip to 1080p? Is this what I need to do for every clip I import? Can I do this for all the clips at once on import? I also read that I may need to export the movie to quick time for smooth playback??
Any help you can provide would be appreciated!
Sincerely,
Matt

I want to use iMovie 6 on my new MacBook Pro running Lion 10.7.5. It won't download. Can I download Snow Leopard instead and use iMovie 6 with that older OS?

I have a MacBook Pro I recently purchased 'cause my old G4 just couldn't output my video films properly. My new MacBook Pro is running 10.7.5 OS Lion. Don't like iMovie 11 and want to use iMovie 6. It won't download on Lion. Could I download Snow Leopard (deleting OS 10.7.5) and use iMovie 6 then? I saw a previous thread that said that could be done.

I want to install Snow Leopard Server on our MacPro (2.66) using Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server disks? I kept getting an error for backwards compatibility. Is this possible or do I need to purchase another copy of Snow Leopard Server?

I want to install Snow Leopard Server on our MacPro(2.66) using Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server disks? I kept getting an error for backwards compatibility. Is this possible or do I need topurchase another copy of Snow Leopard Server?

The OS disks that are shipped with a particular product
are set up so that tey will only install on that product.
It will install on any Mini of that exact vintage, but that
is all.
This is to prevent people from doing exactly what you
are trying to do. The license for OSX shipped with any
is only valid for that product. Also, Snow Leopard,
including Server, is only permitted to be run on one
computer at a time. Bottom line, unlike Lion, legally
you cannot install the same copy on multiple
computers unless some "family pack" or site license
is purchased.
Yes, you need to purchase another copy.
The copy of Snow Leopard license is here:

I have a new time capsule, want to use it in conjunction with iMac G5 and MacBook; laptop runs Snow Leopard but G5 can't install Snow Leopard, is stuck at OS 10.4.11. Am I doomed? Can anyone advise me? Thanks..

you should still be able to get a copy of Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), which should run on your G5.

Use iCloud calenders in iCal on Leopard

Hey
Is it possible to use iCloud calenders in iCal on Leopard, OS X 10.5?
This is my server settings:
https://p02-caldav.icloud.com/825681252/principal/ (I have change the number for the unic icloud id)
When I type my username and password, iCal find the account but not the calenders...
/ Fredrik

if people can get it working with 10.6, there has to be SOME method to get it working for 10.5.8.
It IS just CALDAV technology, the tech has not changed between 10.5 and 10.6, just the ical interface
has anyone had any success?
Really appreciate any help.
Note: Before posting "you can't sync ical etc in less than 10.7.2", please read the post. Yes you can. it is done using Caldav with 10.6 by finding the server address in your plist. There is NO REASON why this shouldnt be workable in 10.5.8, but I haven't been able to get it going.
Thank you any repliers in advance

Wanted to use Icloud to back up pictures and Itunes - it is running os 10.6.4. I have an original IPAD, nothing syncs without connecting. Do I need to purchase operating system updates? Wasn't sure what 10.6 Leopard is?

Snow Leopard, Mac OS X 10.6, is not iCloud compatible. You need to upgrade to Lion, Mac OS X 10.7, via a download from the app store...$29 (US), provided you had at least 10.6.6. You can upgrade to 10.6.8 for free as part of the software updated function, then go to the app store and purchase the Lion download.
When you do that, before installing Lion, make a copy of the Lion Installer from the Applications folder where it downloads to some other location, such as your Documents folder, so you have a backup copy.
For Lion you must have at least an Intel Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7, or Xenon processor, 2 GB memory though 4 GB is better and 7 GB free space on the hard drive.
As part of 10.7.2 you end up with the iCloud connection.

I am wanting to print my iCal calendar, as use it for bookings but not include entries calendar from other people who I've synced with.

GACU,
OK, now I think I understand your problem.
If it is your calendar that is being shared with other users who have been granted editing priviliges, you will not be able to exclude those events from printing.

Just bought Snow leopard 10.6.3 and upgraded my 2008 iMAC; now want to use the free upgrade to Maverick... is that possible? I read compatibility requirement of 10.6.8 or later...

Hi! Just bought Snow leopard 10.6.3 and upgraded my 2008 iMAC; now want to use the free upgrade to Mavericks like I was advised in the Apple/Switch store... is that possible? I read compatibility requirement of 10.6.8 or later...???? Thanks for any guidance!

Before installation you should back up all your data.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes (you will need the latest version in order to synch with mobile devices).
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
iCloud system requirements:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4759
If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion

Using iCloud in Snow Leopard

I have spent the better part of a morning researching how to use iCloud with Snow Leopard. I found that iCal Contacts and Mail can be synced with iCloud on Snow Leopard. There are several posts on how to accomplish this. I was sucessful in setting up my iCal to sync with other devices using iCloud on Snow Leopard.
I have tried at least a dozen times to get my Contacts to sync with iCloud and Snow Leopard after finding several posts with explicit instruction as to how to do it. However, every atempt has failed. Each of the instructions I followed were slightly diferent. I have not found one that worked. Blog posts are filled with success stories of how others have gotten it to work, but not me. I can set up Address Book with an iCloud account but when I select iCloud as my list of addresses, all I get is a message saying "no Card Selected."
I am very frustrated that I canot get this to work while others sing praise of their success.
If anyone has a definitive answer as to how to get Contacs to sync through iCloud in OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) please let me know.
Thank you.

There is no definitive answer, iCloud is not supported on Snow Leopard, so you are reduced to hacks which may or may not work.
Google for Contacts solutions, there are some, some which work, some which don't. And some that do and then don't.
If you want a supported solution then you must use Soho Organizer, it supports iCloud on Leopard through Mavericks. But it's $99

ICal on Leopard possessed by evil spirit

Is iCal on Leopard inhabited by an evil spirit? Apparently.
Why else would iCal refuse to let me do what I want IN MY OWN CALENDAR and instead try to impose its own will?
If someone sends me an invite, I get an email and click through to iCal. Now an entry is in iCal. But, there is a catch. If I want to accept the meeting but change anything about the entry (for example, give it a heading I can recognise, or fix the time of the meeting which iCal is usually getting wrong these days), iCal has decided I am not authorised to changes things IN MY OWN CALENDAR. No, the only way I can change it is to Decline the meeting (which I don't want to do, as it sends a decline message to the meeting organiser - and I am not declining).
If I want to just delete the draft calendar entry (after looking at it), iCal has decided I am not authorised to do that either - IN MY OWN CALENDAR. So I can either leave the wrong info in my diary or send a decline notice to the organiser (which I may not want to if I am not declining).
If I am in an email with an appointment mentioned, Mail now has nifty little buttons to let me create an iCal appointment for that entry. But only for the date/time iCal thinks (which is invariably wrong, due to time zones). I can't amend the date/time of an entry I am going to create IN MY OWN CALENDAR.
So, I can only conclude iCal on Leopard has been possessed by an evil spirit who wants to take over control of what I do IN MY OWN CALENDAR.
Very frustrating. This isn't what Mac software is meant to be about, surely.

G'day Lisa,
I have experienced the same frustration - and had it resolved by installing GCALDaemon (see my other post on this at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6921704#6921704).
This uses a Google Calendar as the middleman - but it works well, and enables you to edit in both places (and across ical versions). In fact you can edit your Google Calendar and have it show up on both Macs... (which stomps all over .mac calendaring).
Cheers,
Rodney

Which mail client do I use with iCal server?

I will soon have os x server, and I want to use iCal server with mail. I want to schedule meetings, etc., like Exchange. However, many people have Outlook. Some have Entourage. Will these clients with with iCal for scheduling meetings and if not which client can I use? Thank you.

Which Platform are the clients?
Apple Mail does not work directly with iCal server. The Leopard version of iCal is what is used for scheduling. Mail is not like Outlook on PC or Entourage on the Mac where email, calendering and contacts are in one application. Leopard uses Mail, iCal, Address Book to provide similar functions.
Also check out this doc
http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/iCalService_Admin_v10.5_2ndEd.pdf
Tells you all the 3rd Party client apps that work with iCal Server.

How can I connect iCloud with iCal (Snow Leopard)?

Hey
I'm using an iPhone 4 and want to sync my Calendar with iCal on my Mac (Snow Leopard) ? Is there any opportunity or it just possible for Lion?
Please help me

There are some hacks to using iCloud with Snow Leopard. One of the keys is you must use iCloud as your primary source for Contacts and Calendars. That is, when you want to make additions or changes to either your calendar or contacts you really MUST do it from the web interface to iCloud. Otherwise you may wind up with duplicates.

Do i want to use my external hard drive as a backup drive?

Please reconsider. You're missing one of the major features of Time Machine, not available elsewhere.
Here's what you'll have to do when (not if) your internal HD fails, or some other catastrophe occurs, without a full backup of your entire system:
Install OSX from your Leopard or Snow Leopard Install disc.
Go through the set-up procedure: setup your Internet connection(s), email accounts, etc., including account info, passwords, server names, etc.
Download and install the "combo" update, to get back to your current version of OSX.
If you didn't purchase your Mac with the latest iLife apps, find the disc they're on and restore them.
Find all the discs for 3rd-party apps and install them. Re-enter any purchase keys.
Find the websites for all downloaded 3rd-party apps, download and install them. Re-enter any purchase keys.
Restore whatever data you saved.
Re-enter all your preferences and settings.
Wonder what you missed, and find out the hard way . . . for months or longer.
However, if you let TM back up your entire system, there's one simple procedure to recover it to the exact state it was in at the time of any backup, even if that's a previous version of OSX. For example, any open Finder windows will reappear in exactly the same locations, with exactly the same contents. See #14 in the FAQ for details.

Safari wants to use the "login" keychain. -- Why can't Safari remember???

When I launch the Safari application, I get a dialogue box with a message indicating the following:
Safari wants to use the "login" keychain.
Please enter the keychain password.
Password:
Cancel -- OK
When I get this dialogue box, I enter the login keychain password in the Password text box, and I click the OK button. Then, Safari proceeds as normal. This is extremely annoying, because it happens almost every time that I launch Safari.
This only started to happen after I upgraded on Monday to Mac OS X Leopard version 10.5. During the Leopard upgrade, I had problems with the keychain passwords, and so I then upgraded again with the new "Login and Keychain Update 1.0". But, the problems with Safari forgetting the login keychain password continue.
The strange thing is that there is NO option in the dialogue box to indicate that Safari should REMEMBER the password. The option does NOT exist, so I can NOT click the Remember box.
I also went into the Keychain Access utility and double-checked and confirmed that my First Aid preferences were properly CHECKED for "Synchronize login keychain password with account" and also "Keep login keychain unlocked". Both of these preferences options are checked. So, I can't understand why Safari cannot remember the login keychain password?
I have this exact same problem with the Mail application, as well.
And, it looks like many many people are having the same problem -- See the following link to related discussions:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5679135&#5679135
Can anyone please help? -- When is Apple going to release a fix for this problem? -- Has anyone received any kind of acknowledgement from Apple that they are aware of this problem and that they intend to fix it?
Please help !!!

I had the same experience and found a solution.
After the upgrade, I had a login keychain (the default) and my original username keychain. Both are in the chain of keychains, but since it has a choice, Mail keeps asking you to confirm.
I moved all the entries out of username into login, deleted username, and all is well.
Note that Keychain asks for your password on EACH ITEM that it moves, which can be tedious. So I changed the keychain password to a single character, just for the duration, then changed it back to something secure.
If, on the other hand, you don't have two keychains, then I can offer no suggestion.

APPLE = Fix iCal in Leopard!!!!!

Hi,
What did Apple do to iCal in Leopard? They broke it somehow. I had hard drive failure in powerbook. Replaced Hard drive, did new install of Leopard. Then installed Palm desktop 4.2 (newest from site). Setup Palm Treo 650 conduit in isync. It will only sync the addresses, nothing in iCal. Either way is bad. From Treo to iCal, and iCal to Treo won't work. Everything IS setup correctly. I used to do this in Tiger with no problems. What did Apple do to Leopard? This needs to be corrected immediately! I do all my scheduling in iCal. It is useless to me if I can't sync it to the Treo to take with me.

My sync in Leopard was working OK until today. My Nokia E61 syncs contacts but not calendar entries as of today. Strange. iSync doesn't recognize the calendars in iCal and says "No writable calendar was found" even though iCal is open right behind it.

I want to use Panthers iCal on Leopards OS?
