Install isight 1.03 with Leopard (10.5.4) OS ???

I have a NIB iSight camera which came with 1.02 software. The video works fine but the audio does not. It appears that I need to update the firmware in the iSight camera to 1.03 but the updater on the Apple support sight does not work with either 10.5.4 or 10.4.X software (the oldest that I have). Is there an easy work around here or do I have to go on the hunt for a Mac with 10.3 on it to do this update.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Phil

Thanks for the tip I have been searching for hours to fix this problem and installing the firmware has fixed for me but as you found there was no updater for Leopard until I found your post.

ISight on MacBook with Leopard 10.5.1 does not work

I just installed Leopard on an iBook, G4 and iSight completely doesn't work.
I have an external iSight. I tried a new 1.3 iSight download but it didn't work with an iBook.
Does Apple know about this?

Welcome to Apple Discussions, Thomas Steffens
You can use the suggestions in How to test your iSight to ensure it is functional to check out your external iSight.
If your problem persists after that, and if you have not already used the 10.5.1 download updater, repair permissions, download and apply the Mac OS X 10.5.1 Update, repair permissions again after the restart that completes the update, and try iSight again.
You can assure that Apple knows about your problem by submitting Mac OS X Feedback or contacting Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider about your problem.

Install Screen Spanning Doctor with Leopard?

I have an iBook G4 (1.33 GHz PowerPC with 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM) running Leopard. I just bought an external monitor and would like to do screen spanning.
There is one way to install Screen Spanning Doctor that I know will work (boot iBook in Panther off an external Firewire drive, install the hack, then boot it into Leopard off the internal drive), but I don't want to do this if I don't have to.
Has anyone tried to install Screen Spanning Doctor (for the first time) on a machine running Leopard? If so, did it work? Thanks.

Try posting in one of the Leopard forums, probably the Using Leopard forum. You are more likely to have folk familiar with what you are attempting look at your post.

Will Windows install on an external with Leopard?

Hi,
I'm looking to purchase a firewire external hd to put Mac OS X Leopard on, but I want to know whether the external will be considered the 'internal drive' by Boot Camp. Any ideas?

Shame. I wanted to do the same as the OP and even went as far as installing 10.5 on an external drive only to discover that Boot Camp wouldn't let me partition it. I'm still not convinced that the latest version of 10.5 has ironed out all the Creative Suite issues so I'm still running 10.4 on my internal drive. Is there any particular reason why Boot Camp won't partition an external drive and are there any plans in the pipeline to change this?

IDVD version incompatible with Leopard?

Purchased Leopard OS and installed it in my Mac mini. Had no installation problems and all software updates installed with no grief. Leopard upgraded iLife components to v 5.x and they all appear to work except iDVD. The Leopard installation disk seems to have installed a version incompatible with Leopard OS. "You cannot use this version of the application iDVD with this version of Mac OS X."
Any suggestions on how to make iDVD work? Yes, I know that I am the last one on the block to update to Leopard. I really am an old-timer and buying a new Mac is not an option. I didn't spot a post on this subject but if I missed it please direct me to it.

There is the assumption that Apple applications would not be made obsolete by upgrading the OS. e.g. Even AppleWorks which is no longer supported by Apple still works with Leopard OS.
Aaaah, the hidden costs of upgrades...
You can right click and get info on the program itself and you should be able to determine if your version should work with Leopard. My iDVD is v7.0.4 Only version 6 or 7 are compatible with Leopard.
Appleworks has many versions, but if I google: leopard appleworks problems - I get way too many hits to feel good about continuing to work with it. Pages seems to be able to be able to open .cwk files and they need to be converted.
A lot of people think that iLife is free, but it's actually part of the purchase price for the computer. Some people want to try installing iLife 09 on the older OS and come across the same issue in reverse because 09 requires Leopard.
In addition, iMovie 09 doesn't work on PPC Mac's even if they are running Leopard.
Apple's price for iLife 09 is $79 and they had a bundle for both Leopard and iLife for $169 but it's too late for you to get the bundle.
If there is any easy (inexpensive) way to get iDVD to work on my Mac mini, please let me know.
Amazon has iLife '09 on sale for $56.49

Isight not working with skype and tokbox after snow leopard upgrade

Recently, I upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard. After the upgrade, I found that my built-in iSight camera wasn't recognized on TokBox. On Skype, it said that the iSight camera was in use by another application (however no other applications were running). The iSight is working with iChat, so I don't know what is wrong... everything was fine when I was using Tiger!

Okay, so I restarted my computer and that didn't work.
Then, I went through the suggestions from the link you posted. I found that the iSight works in iChat and Photobooth; however, it does not work in iMovie HD (exactly the same in both user accounts on my computer). Just like before, the iSight is "in use by another application" in Skype on both user accounts.
I reset the SMC, but it didn't seem to help anything. Everything was acting the same as before I reset it.
I also noticed that my iTunes and my iMovie won't open; they both quit unexpectedly every time I try to open them. This happens in both user accounts as well.
Okay, so it will be simplest to work your issues in steps. We will start with iMovie.
Use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions. Then reinstall iMovie HD 6. Repair permissions again after the installer finishes.
If the version of iMovie HD 6 in your iLife '06 DVD is not "6.0.3", download and install the update:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL319
If you need to do this update, repair permissions again after the update is finished.
Test the reinstalled iMovie HD 6 to see if it works in more than one user account and post back the results.

Firewire iSight not working with 3rd party software on Leopard

I just installed OSX Leopard and not able to use firewire isight on any program other than ichat. I use 3rd party software for video conferencing (educational setting) and need an external iSight so as to position the camera on larger groups. Anyone have any suggestions?

My external iSight is working fine with QuickTime Pro, iMovie, Photo Booth (v2).
If http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93240 does not get things working, and especially if your problem is only with your 3rd party app, contact the developer to see if there are known issues with Leopard.

Installing Tiger on a Macbook Pro that came only with Leopard

Hi guys,
Any ideas on how to install Tiger onto a Macbook Pro that came preloaded with Leopard, and only has a Leopard disc?
I've got a refurbished Macbook Pro recently. Realised that one of my application doesn't work, Capture One Pro. Visited Phase One's website and they said it only supports 3.9 and above at the time it was released, which makes it 10.4.10.
Systems in the story below: Macbook Pro Core Cuo. Macbook Pro C2D (new set), Mac Pro, iMac Core 2 Duo
Here's what I've tried
1. I've an original disk that came with my MBP CD. When I try to boot from that disk on my MBP C2D, it gives me the crash screen -> "please hold the power for secs to restart".
2. I've tried installing Tiger onto my iMac and did a harddisk clone via Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) to my MBP CD. Tiger was able to run on my MBP CD fine.
3. Then I tried using CCC to clone it over to my MBP C2D. It doesn't work. Shows me the crash screen.
4. I've tried installing Tiger on my Mac Pro. Used CCC to clone over the disk image to MBP C2D. Doesn't work too. Crash screen.
5. Created disk images of Tiger with Disk Utility on iMac, Mac Pro. Tried to restore using the iMac, Mac Pro disk images of Tiger. Doesn't work. Shows me the crash screen.
6. Updated Tiger to 10.4.11 on my Mac Pro. Created disk image using Disk Utility. Restored MBP C2D with it. Crash screen on load.
I'm out of ideas and Apple Support won't open until Monday.
It seems that this MBP C2D is set on not installing Tiger, no matter what. Wonder if getting hold of a Tiger retail disc will do the trick?

You can install tiger onto a MacBook Pro up to version 3,1.
Run System Profiler and under hardware:

I have got tiger installed onto this MacBookPro which is the latest 4,1 model, but you require the latest Tiger disk (which the Apple Genius had in my case), but the volume, brightness and trackpad gestures do not work! Everything else is fine.

Tried updating firefox but it is not compatible with leopard op. If I try to re-install the older version will my bookmarks still be there?

Tried updating firefox but it is not compatible with leopard op. If I try to re-install the older version will my bookmarks still be there?

Current Firefox versions require a Mac with an Intel processor and OS X 10.6.
Firefox 16 is the last version that runs on Intel Mac OS X 10.5.
You would have to update to OS X 10.6 to be able to use current Firefox releases.

How to install a clean install with leopard upgrade DVD!

Does somebody know how to do an clean install with a Leopard upgrade DVD?
I bought my MacBook for 1 week ago, and them said that i would get leopard sent later. And when i get it, its a upgrade cd that i cant install only leopard on my ny frsh hard-drive. *** apple?

First, there is no such thing as a "clean install" option in OS X. But the "cleanest" install is to start with a reformatted drive (using Disk Utility's "Partition" tab), followed by an install of the OS that will be cleansed of any traces of OS or file system corruption. (The "unclean" options, "Upgrade" & "Archive & Install" won't be possible, & the erase part of "Erase & Install" is at this point redundant.)
However, if you use Setup Assistant (which runs after rebooting) or Migration Assistant to bring over copies of old system components, applications, & settings, you may be reintroducing something "unclean" from the old versions.
This said, if your up-to-date disk is just an updater (nobody seems to know yet), you can do a "cleanest possible" install by following the above with your original Tiger Installer disk, letting it reboot & not importing anything during setup, & then following the instructions supplied with the up-to-date disk to upgrade. At this point, you may want to clone the startup disk for future reference, before adding back in your apps & user files by whatever method(s) you chose.

Have you seen this type of problem before? I think it could be a serious issue for anyone in a similar position.
No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
• I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?

Network issues with Leopard fresh install

I have an iBook that I was running Leopard on with no issues yesterday. It is no longer my main computer, so I wanted to wipe everything and start from scratch with a fresh install of Leopard. The install went smoothly. I did an Erase & Install setup from a Leopard Upgrade disc (but already had Leopard on my system so upgrade verified OK). When I booted up for the first time, it appeared everything was working normally.
I went online, downloaded a couple pieces of software I frequently use, and then started to set things up. This is when I ran into issues. I could browse the web without a problem. I could set up email with POP access, but not IMAP. AIM with Adium connects just fine. Tweetie won't connect. Dropbox won't connect. It's like some ports are being blocked, but others aren't, and I can't figure out why.
I have tried/verified:
OSX firewall is off
Restarted router/cable several times
iBook is in router's DMZ- outside of router firewall
Repaired permissions
Reset PRAM
Anyone have any suggestions or other troubleshooting ideas?

Here are the steps to selling*:
http://www.macmaps.com/selling.html
Mac Pros that shipped with Leopard should install from the Mac Pro labelled discs. Those that came with pre-Leopard, you should still include the Mac Pro discs, though if you desire to install Leopard on them, you should also include the Leopard discs that are retail. Leopard retail looks like * and do not say Upgrade, DropIn, or OEM.
