Images for multiple types of Apple

Hi,
Is it possible to make one image, and use that on different Intel Mac's? I want to setup an Image on a Mac Mini en use that same image on a couple of Mac Pro's and some iMac's.
Michiel

Generally speaking, the answer is yes. Currently, you may run into trouble because there are many different builds of 10.5.6, some with specific hardware support, especially since the release of the new Minis, Mac Pros, and iMacs. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1159 for details. The trick is understanding which models you have. Find the most recent and build your image on that machine. That image should work across all models, regardless of x86 or PPC. One area that is tricky right now is the energy saver preference panel. Only the Mac Book Pros come with the support for switching graphics cards. If you have these models, you will need to either base your build on the laptop or do a post deploy restore of the machine specific prefs panel.
If you run into trouble with recognizing hardware, just touch the Extensions folder. On the next reboot, the extensions cache will be rebuilt.
Hope this helps

  • Building an image for multiple types of Macs...

    I need to build images for iMac G3 500's, iMac G4's, eMacs, & 400 Mhz G4 Towers. My question is this...
    Using OS 10.3 or 10.4, can I build an image on one of these machines that will have all of the appropriate drivers, software, etc. to distribute to all of them? Or... are there specific items installed during the OS install for some machines and not others?

    Contradictory evidence exists whether or not you can really build one unique image for use for all of those machines. One interesting factor here is you say 10.3 or 10.4. Those operating systems can not really be run from one image simultaneously.
    In addition, some G4 400 Mhz towers are incapable of target disk mode or being used as the source for a migration assistant transfer. These two articles tell you which those are:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58418
    Assuming you have license for Mac OS X for all the machines there, I suggest building a by model base of a partition you can import to each machine from several external hard drives.
    The migration assistant after installing Mac OS X on a specific machine can help simplify how many partitions you need to create:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25773
    You just install the operating system and it will import data using the migration assistant.
    Now the migration assistant will import data from a 10.3 machine to a 10.4 machine, but you can't do vice versa.

  • One image for multiple Intel Macs

    I am trying to find some reference to creating one universal NetInstall image so that older Intel based portable Macs will work with newer portable Macs.
    In the past we've been using a 10.5 retail image and update it as Apple updates come out. However, I notice using this image on the newer Macs with multi-touch creates some weird glitches.
    The computer is functional, but an example would be, open Sys Prefs, click on Keyboard and Mouse, then when you click Trackpad, the animated video should show the finger(s) moving in the gestures for the correct command.
    Anyone know of a place for best practices to create a universal NetInstall image so that I don't have to deal with multiple architectures for different installs? Any help would be appreciated.

    best practice is to use the latest and greatest mac youve got for building the master image. however occassionally theres an odd glitch because of differences between the mac used for building the master image and the mac its restored to.
    i rarely build on the latest and greatest mac ive got instead i use the mac that the image is going to be restored to. for this method i need to build many images however the chance of encountering an odd glitch is reduced.

  • Changing The Preview Image for File Types

    Is there any way for me to change the image that shows up as the preview for file types? For example, I use OpenOffice and all my .doc files show up as blank pages of paper, which I don't like. I've tried to change this to no avail, from using the "Get Info" window to within the program itself. Any help?

    If you have an image that you want to use, do a Get Info on it, select the image at the top of the box and then copy from the Edit menu. Then on your OpenOffice document do a Get Info and paste the image into the little image icon at the top of the Get Info box.

  • How Do I put in the same image for multiple songs on iTunes

    Thanks.

    Yes.
    Select multiple songs, get info and paste the artwork.

  • Program to organize/edit images for multiple computers

    Hi!
    I have an image bank I need to organize and share with multiple computers at work. Right now, it's all sitting on an external drive where all the image files are in folders. I'd love to use Lightroom, but I understand it only works for one computer??
    I would appreciate anykind of guidance and advice.
    Thanks in advance!

    Lightroom is a single-user application. Multiple user access on a network is not supported.
    Daminion is a true multi-user application, supporting networked access. (This is not an endorsement of any kind, as I have never used it, I simply state that is has the feature you are looking for)

  • Disk image for multiple restore . . .

    I have more than a few units (same type) to restore to os x 10.4.11.
    I've setup one unit that I want to create a disk image of to restore onto all the units.
    Using disk utility:
    create an image form the "Disk"?
    or from the "Volume"?
    My thoughts where that selecting the volume my miss some hidden files vs selecting the disk ?
    What's the correct way to do this and why?

    would one way not be bootable?
    No.
    seems like both ways work to ensure multiple unit restores from one image?
    Those are different in that one stores only the specified partition and the other stores the whole drive; the bootability information is stored at the partition level.

  • I keep getting the same preview image for multiple photos

    In my iPhoto Library and some of my folders the same preview image is showing for many of my images. When I enlarge or export those images or folders the correct image shows. Any ideas what is messing with the preview?
    Thanks.

    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

  • Creating search state to search for multiple types

    Hi,
    I am creating a search field where an user can type any word and it will search for it in three different types of assets.
    As of now, I am creating three diff search states and adding corresponding constraint to them.
    Is this the right way to do OR is there any work around where I can create only one search state and add three diff constrains for these diff asset types.
    Any guidance will be really appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Nelash Jindal

    Have you explored the integrated lucene search functionality? Basically you can allow lucene to index the asset types you want to search in and create a search form that queries the index. The internal search in the contributor UI is using the same method.
    Check the developers guide page: 857 Public Site Search, this could be used for your purpose as well... On the authoring environment all asset types are already enabled to be indexed.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,

  • Implementing Comparable for multiple types

    I am currently refactoring some legacy code to make use of Java 5's generics, and I ran into a problem.
    Foo extends Parent and implements Comparable. Bar is a sibling of Foo and does not implement Comparable. Now, in the legacy code, Foo is Comparable to both Foo and Bar, and in order to use generics, I have to specify a single class or use wild cards with "extends". I know I could resolve this problem by using <? extends Parent>, but I am reluctant to do this, because Foo and Bar also have about 30 other siblings.
    Is there anyway that I can use generics and only let the two classes, Foo and Bar be Comparable to Foo?

    I quite don't get what the legacy code does. If Bar does not implement comparable, how is Foo comparable to Bar? I think, this quite violates the rules for implementing Comparable.
    You don't have to implement an additional class, though, but might work with an interface, which both Foo and Bar implement and which extends Comparable on the interface.
    Maybe I should give an abstract example on my confusing statement. :)
    interface FooBar extends Comparable<FooBar> { ...}
    class Foo implements FooBar { ... }
    class Bar implements FooBar { ... }
