Installation of Apple OS X 10.5 Leopard

The installation process is problematic at best. Better heed Apple's warnings to backup all of your files. Unfortunately, I did not back up my files and lost thousands of photographs stored in iPhoto. In addition, all of my Application software, email setup and all email files, printer drivers, etc. are gone. Not sure how it happened, but my hard disk drive was invisible to the system. To complete the installation of OS X 10.5 I had to go into Disk Utilities and partition my hard disk drive. When you do that everything is wiped out! A lot of people are going to be angry with me when I tell them that their photographs are gone.

Hi Rick,
ok , I can understand you - but if these photos where so valuable to ya - why didn't you make a backup?

  • Installation Options for iMovie HD on Snow Leopard system with iLife '09

    Greetings and thank-you for contributing suggestions on what is a well worn subject. I have read many of the posts existing on this topic and am trying to nip some details.
    I have a late 2006 iMac that came with Tiger and iMovie HD which is now at version 6.0.3. When I upgraded to Snow Leopard (Boxed Set) I got iLife 09 but, as it was supposed to do, it left me iMovie HD which is what I have used. I have both sets of installation DVD's. (from the iMac and the SL upgrade)
    Today I got a new MacMini and am plotting how to get iMovie HD on it.
    I gather that I first need to remove iMovie 09 from the Mini. I do that by dragging its application bundle in finder to the trash and removing any receipt packages.
    Do I have to remove all of the iLife 09 applications or just iMovie 09?
    Then, I reinstall either all of iLife 06 from the iMac DVD or just iMovie HD. After that I can load iLife 09 from the SL DVD. That will leave the iMovie HD on the system but upgrade everything else.
    Should I run software update from iMovie HD to try to get the 6.0.3 version or download and run the upgrade image? Does it matter?
    I am good to go. Did I miss anything?
    I also have a SuperDuper clone of the iMac system. Another possibility is to boot from that and clone it to the new Mini. Does anyone think this is a better idea?
    Thanks again for the insights of your experience.

    I think the issue is that if you install iMovie 06 on a system with iMovie 09 installed, iMovie 6 has no knowledge that iMovie 09 exists. Therefore iMovie 6 installs itself in the iMovie folder in the Applications Folder and assumes anything in there is old and can be trashed.
    Apple fixed this with iMovie 6.04, but this is no longer available.
    But if you install iMovie 6 first, and iMovie 9 second, iMovie 9 knows about iMovie 6 and will move it to a folder called "iMovie - Previous Versions".
    In your case, I would uninstall iMovie 09 as you started to do, then run the migration assistant, then reinstall iMovie 09.
    It should also work to create a folder on your old system called "iMovie - Previous Versions". Drag the iMovie 6 app into this folder and verify that it works. Then do the Migration Assistant. This should work, but I hesitate to recommend it because I have not tested it. Best case, it installs and you did not even have to uninstall iMovie 09. Worst case, delete the iMovie folder and reinstall iMovie 09.
    For what its worth, I recently did a Migration Assistant from a SuperDuper clone (after a failed hard disk) that had both iMovie 09 and iMovie 6 installed, and it worked fine. But I have not tried your scenario.
    I would use Migration Assistant because then you have the correct version of Snow Leopard for your system. You may not if you use a clone. A new machine may have microcode that is not released to the general release of OSX for several months. If your Mini is a used one and at least 6 months old, a clone should work OK.

  • Need help contacting Apple customer service to order Leopard—if available

    For the last couple of days I have been unsuccessfully trying the various phone number for Apple customer service given on these board by several very helpful contributors.  I've also tried the numbers listed on the Apple web site.
    The recorded announcements say either that I have reached a texting number or a discontinued number that is no longer in service.
    Does anyone have a valid number?
    I need a leopard retail install disc for my G5 Quad and for my MDD Dual G4, just in case I should ever need Leopard.  I'm sticking with Tiger on my main boot volume, as I want occassional access to Classic.
    Thanks in advance.

    Great deal, do let us know!
    Well, well, well… I got the Leopard 10.5.6 install package from eBay-seller "Mac-Central" (link above).  This is what they do:  They take the "Mac Box Set Family Pack"—available, for instance at Amazon for $230 ( http://www.amazon.com/Mac-Box-Family-Pack-VERSION/dp/accessories/B001AMLQ6O )—which is a Mac software bundle consisting of three packages, the Leopard 10.5.6 install retail disc, iLife 09 and iWork09, and divide it into three separate items.
    What I got was the Leopard 10.5.6 install retail disc from that set.
    Of course, it does work on all my Macs, from the beige G3 tower with a Sonnet G4 processor upgrade, through my MDD Dual G4, the G5 Quad and the Intel MacBook.
    I suppose this is legal, and at least it serves my purposes.
    They include a one page note that says, in sum:
    "As advertised, this is a family pack.  This piece of software came out of a sealed Mac Box Set Family pack…
    "We guarantee that your software is a family pack and that you will get all 5 installs…
    "Also as advertised, Apple does not supply a serial number with this product.
    "If you… [want] to register… the product number on the outer retail box… MB998Z/A.
    "Thank you so much, the guys at Mac Central"
    So, that's what it is.  For US $135.99.

  • Apple hardware test for snow leopard

    I've tried booting from the snow leopard installation disk i have, i've tried holding down both D and Command+D, and neither of these key combinations work. My macbook will just boot like normal. And it's not an optical drive issue because i can hold C and get disk utility. So is the AHT even on this disk?
    Is there another way of testing the hardware or some kind of freeware i can get?

    If your Mac came with DVDs, Apple Hardware Test comes in one of these DVDs. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509 Insert the DVD that contains Apple Hardware Test, and hold the D key while your MacBook is starting. Make sure your Mac is plugged in and run an extended test.
    Apple Hardware Test is not included in the retail Mac OS X Snow Leopard disc because there are different versions for each computer

  • Does Apple Broadband Tuner work with Leopard?

    Does anyone know if this works with Leopard? I didn't want to install it if it would screw up the OS. My speed seems bottlenecked at ~5Mbps on a 30Mbps FIOS connection. My speed patched XP box gets ~2.5MB/sec on a download while Leopard gets ~500KB/sec on the same download. Apple should have tuned Leopard's networking better than this.
    Message was edited by: ch0b1ts2600

    My speeds in my leopard have not changed and have not needed to use the broadband tuner my adsl2+ connection just flies.
    That being said the broadband tuner just changes some tcp values and is not recommended for airport connections.
    The system parameters are sysctl variables that are set as follows:
    net.inet.tcp.sendspace: 131072
    net.inet.tcp.recvspace: 358400
    kern.ipc.maxsockbuf: 512000
    The package installer works.
    Once installed you can check to see if the tcp values have changed.
    in the terminal use the command
    sysctl -a
    scroll through the list of values until you find
    net.inet.tcp.sendspace: 131072
    net.inet.tcp.recvspace: 358400
    Then you can see the pkg installer did work.

  • How many Installs Can I do from a Snow Leopard Retail Disk?

    I have an old Snow Leopard Retail Disk (10.6.3) that I used a few years ago. Our Macs have mostly been upgraded to Lion since then, but we still have a 2007 iMac running Leopard and want to run some legacy third-party software. We need to upgrade that iMac from Leopard to Snow Leopard, then upgrade via system update to 10.6.8 in order to run the legacy software.
    I know we used this Snow Leopard retail disk to upgrade one computer to Snow Leopard already, and we might have used the disk to install Snow Leopard on an external hard drive as well but I'm not sure as it was a few years ago and that hard drive may have been archived and placed in storage.
    My question is, is there a limited number of installs that we can do with this disk? Do we need to first uninstall Snow Leopard from one computer before we can install it on another?

    Unlike Windows, the DVD or CD versions of the Mac OS (Snow Leopard or earlier) have no serial number, or even keep track of how many times you've installed it. It's all on the honor system of following the license you have, which as mende1 noted, is either a single computer license, or five in one household (not shared with friends or relatives).
    Lion and Mountain Lion are a bit different. Macs that came with either OS have a machine specific version (for the necessary hardware drivers) and cannot be shared, other than with a 100% identical Mac. The App Store versions are intended for Macs that were released before the respective OS's, and contain only the hardware drivers for the Mac models they are listed to support.

  • Windows 7 installation error: "Apple Mobile Device" failed to start.

    Towards end of recent iTunes software update on Windows 7, I had an installation error within starting services "Apple Mobile Device" failed to start, etc. Pressed IGNORE option. Appears to install but fails to load saying msvcr80.dll missing.
    Any ideas. The old version of iTunes now loads ok but will not connect to my iPhone 4S. It crashes when the iPhone option is clicked.

    You need to follow the instructons of tt2 in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5822086 to straighten that out.

  • Lightroom 1.3.1 Printing Problems with Apple OSX 10.5 (aka Leopard)

    Whilst the majority the majority of Leopard related print issues were addressed when Adobe updated Lightroom to 1.3.1 and printer vendors released updated drivers some issues remained and it has been left to users to establish workarounds. One such proven workaround is presented below:
    Information and text by Jason Hicking
    I've been having exactly the same issues running a nearly identical system but on a MacBook Pro with an external Eizo 24" monitor for critical work. My results also mirror yours ie slightly greener and darker prints from LR than PS.
    I've spent literally hours troubleshooting this as I own a digital imaging company that offers printing and colour management to our customers, many of whom have the same setups and same issues. Well I'm glad to say that I seem to have found a (temporary) fix. Read on and let me know your thoughts...
    If you go into the Apple ColorSync Utility (in the Utilities folder on your hard drive) then follow these steps I'm pretty sure you'll get accurate prints that match Photoshops output.
    Step 1 Open ColorSync Utility and click on the Devices button at the top of the window.
    Step 2 Click on the grey arrow to reveal the Printers list
    Step 3 Click on the grey arrow next to "EPSON Stylus Photo R2400"
    Step 4 Locate the profile that relates to the media setting that was used when you created your custom profile. For example I create most of my custom profiles for gloss or satin media using the Premium Semi Gloss media setting so in Colorsync Utility I choose "SPR2400 PremiumSemigloss"
    Step 5 Click on the arrow next the text "Current Profile:" and choose Other...
    Step 6 From the window that opens, choose the profile that you are using to print through in Lightroom, as an example I choose "R24 IlfSmGls PSG NCA" as this is the profile I made to print on Ilford Smooth Gloss and the one I'm selecting in Lightroom.
    Step 7 Click on OK to accept this change and ensure that it's actually changed in the ColorSync Utility window. If everythings OK then close Colorsync Utility and return to Lightroom.
    Step 8 Print from Lightroom, choose the exact same profile and rendering intent that you would normally, click on the Print... button, make sure the preset is set to Standard then select the matching media setting and quality settings that were used to create the profile (as you would when printing from Photoshop), remember to check that No Color Adjustment is set in this part of the driver.
    Step 9 Click on the Print button and in a minute or so you should get a print that matches your Photoshop output and more importantly matches your 'calibrated' screen.
    Step 10 Presuming this works save this setup as a template in Lightroom for future use.
    This may seem long winded in text form but it's a one time operation and I wanted to make sure that every step was included for clarity.
    What I feel is happening is that there is a double profiling issue with print stream from Lightroom to the the Epson driver (v6.12) and by selecting the identical profile in both places we are ensuring that no conversion takes place in the driver, something that simply setting "No Color Adjustment" usually achieves in Photoshop and other older applications that use a different print stream to Lightroom. Also note that even when your profiles are set this way in the Colorsync Utility there is no difference in accuracy or colour when you leave it set like this and print as usual from Photoshop.

    A Lightroom print tutorial is also provided at: http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr_13_print/lightroom_print.htm

    Well, maybe, CS3 is the only one fully compatible, but Photoshop CS and CS2 will work...mostly. There are a couple of niggling little problems, but I have been able to do what I want, one way or another, with CS1. Elements 2 is, like PS7, a dead letter in Leopard, but Elements 3 and 4 work. Of course, these older programs run in Rosetta, being non-Intel native, and so my MacPro runs them at the same speed as my old G4 dual 800. I'm looking forward to a speed boost when my Xmas upgrade to CS3 is installed.

  • Frequent problems in Apple PPC Mac with OSX Leopard 10.5.8

    Hi,
    Frequent problems in Apple PPC computers with OSX Leopard10.5.8
    I have a Imac 17icnh G5 2Ghz  512 ram (Standard not the isight)  it had a clean install of OSX 10.5
    But after running a update to 10.5.8 with update if Itunesand security etc it was about 6 updates all together.
    Now the Imac uses to much CPU for small tasks and uses84-90MB of ram for a Kernal Task.
    When I try check permissions in disk utility the CPU goes toabout 80% in something called InstallerB and wont finnsh because there is no CPU power left
    and will over heat if I left it for too long. 
    The Exact symptoms of the 10.5.8 with update my differ alittle but I have had this same problem on  about 5 PPC apple computers and in the end I sometimes
    Just down grade to the flawless Tiger 10.4.11.
    So my question is > how do I fix this problem ? Which of the Updates dose this to PPC mac’s ?  (is it itunes or securtiy)
    Is Leopard 10.5.8 just a peace of JUnk just like windows Vista was and I should alwasy use Tiger for PPC and Snow leopard for Intel.

    Hi Sam,
    Leo uses 2 to 4 times the resources of Tiger, & while 512MB is the minimum for Leo, that really crimps the OS, it isn't all that great for Tiger, though 10.4 does better with only 512MB, I'd put 2GB in it for decent performance, (if an IntelMac I'd say 4GB for the same OS).
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/3200DDR2GBP/
    Also, open Console in Utilities, look for repeating messages, you may have some 10.04 things running that fail in 10.5.
    I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 6 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Trash old Log files.
    First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
    Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
    Is Leopard 10.5.8 just a peace of JUnk just like windows Vista was and I should alwasy use Tiger for PPC and Snow leopard for Intel.
    In my opinion, OSX is headed towards Windows®, & aimed at users that only know how to Twit.
    If Tiger does everything you need, like you don't need iDevices & know how to protect yourself on the Internet without the added Security of 10.5 & associated Apps, then by all means stick with 10.4.11.
    If you want/need 10.5... max out the RAM for sure.

  • Did Apple Script change - upgraded Snow Leopard Mavericks

    I used to use below script to toggle sound output (assigned to function key) in Snow Leopard.
    Upgraded to Mavericks few weeks ago and wanted to use that script again, but keep on getting error -1728 as displayed hereafter, anyone out there to tell me what I should do to make it work in Mavericks?
    Thx,
    Laerg1
    Here's the full script:
    --This script toggles between two audio outputs in the "Sound" pane in "System Preferences.
    --USES GUI SCRIPTING - "ENABLE ASSISTIVE DEVICES" OPTION MUST BE CHECKED IN "UNIVERSAL ACCESS" PREFERENCE PANE
    --Adapted from script written by Corey Menscher for toggling outputs using Salling Erickson Clicker
    tell application "System Preferences"
        activate
    end tell
    tell application "System Events"
        tell application process "System Preferences"
            set frontmost to true
            click menu item "Sound" of menu "View" of menu bar 1
            if my wait4window("Sound") is false then return false
            tell window "Sound"
                tell tab group 1
                    tell radio button "Output"
                        click
                    end tell
                    (* You can add your own audio output descriptive text, such as "iMic USB Audio", in the next section. *)
                    if (selected of row 2 of table 1 of scroll area 1) then
                        set selected of row 1 of table 1 of scroll area 1 to true
                    else
                        set selected of row 2 of table 1 of scroll area 1 to true
                    end if
                end tell
            end tell
        end tell
    end tell
    tell application "System Preferences" to quit
    on wait4window(this_title)
        tell application "System Events"
            tell process "System Preferences"
                repeat with i from 1 to 60
                    if the name of window 1 is this_title then return true
                    delay 1
                end repeat
            end tell
        end tell
        return false
    end wait4window

    Let's double-check the amount of RAM in that machine. Click the Apple logo in the upper left corner & choose About This Mac. In the window that comes up, what's listed for RAM?
    That machine will run Snow Leopard very nicely with 2GB of RAM. For it to run Mavericks, I would upgrade it to at least 4GB or more if it can handle it.
    If I was in your position, I would run Snow Leopard for a while and see how well it serves you. If you want to upgrade, my  personal opinion would be to go to Mountain Lion, rather than Mavericks, but that is simply because I found that Mavericks slowed one of my machines to a crawl and was not pleased with the performance. Went back to Mountain Lion and it's humming along.

  • Signing native installer with Apple's Developer ID certificate

    I am trying to sign my AIR OSX application using Flash Builder's 4.6 "Export Release Build" option. For this purpose I am using Apple's "Developer ID Application" certificate to be able to install and run my app on OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion.
    After identifying correct certificates in the chain and exporting them all to p12 format (I chose "Developer ID Application", "Developer ID Certification Authority" and "Apple Root CA" within Keychain Access application on my Mac) I got the following error: "Error creating native installer file: Packaging failed. Make sure your computer time is in sync and your certificate is valid".
    Does anybody has idea how to successfully sign AIR application using Developer ID certificates?

    Yes I did. I created Apple Developer ID Application certificate on Apple's web site. I imported this to the Keychain Access by double clicking on the downloaded .cer file. I also verified I had installed Developer ID Cerification Authority and Apple Root CA certificates. Then I used codesign utility from terminal to sign all binaries inside the .app folder and the folder itself. In my case this boiled down to:
    codesign -f -v -s "Developer ID Application: Company Inc" "Install My App.app/Contents/Resources/MyApp/Contents/MacOS/MyApp"
    codesign -f -v -s "Developer ID Application: Company Inc" "Install MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/Install MyApp"
    codesign -f -v -s "Developer ID Application: Company Inc" "Install MyApp.app"

  • Repeated panics in com.apple.ATIRadeonX2000, after installing Snow Leopard

    Hi,
    now for the 4th time around, I got a kernel panic with backtraces pointing to the com.apple.ATIRadeonX2000 driver. The previous 4 times it crashed while beeing fully idle, today it crashed while I was using the box.
    The box in this case is a Mac Pro (Early 2008), with 2 ATI Radeon HD2600XT cards driving 3 displays. Everything is running on a powerfull UPS.
    In early April I reinstalled the box on a SSD drive, and at the same time I upgradeded from 10.5 to 10.6 (Snow Leopard). About two-three weeks later (12th Apr) the first crash came, and then about a month later (20th May)  again. Then 16th June, and now today, 27th June..
    Here is each panic:

    As mentioned, the only change introduced to the system is the SSD, and Snow Leopard instead of old Leopard. Before the change, I've never seen this crash a single time. A few panics maybe, but nothing related to this. I don't think blaming the SSD would be fair, if that would be the case much more random traces would be expected.
    I'd say that this is a bad bug in the com.apple.ATIRadeonX2000 module.
    Apple, any fixes for this? Update for SL or will it be addressed in Lion?
    Anyone else seen similar crashes in this scenario?

    Thanks Tom but the original post title was "Work in DTP, don't install snow leopard", but of course apple were unhappy with the title. I know the issue/problem has been discussed for months, the real problem is that it shouldn't be a problem which everyone has to find work arounds for.
    After 4 days of playing about, I've finally got flash CS4 working and Quarkxpress was also a big problem for a few months. Printer description (PPD) files which snow leopard doesn't like, but worked in tiger & leopard.....means I can't use my two A3 inkjets for proofing anymore.
    I'm just disappointed by snow leopard

  • When I try to install the new version of Flash Player on my iMac, Adobe installer rejects apple ID

    Adobe installer claims my Apple ID is incorrect when I try to install the new Flash Player.  iMac + OS Mavericks.  I have tried it many times.  Same ID works on two iPads, iTunes, etc. and on the iMac whenever it is asked for, other than with Flash Player installer.  Aggro+++++++

    OK, thanks for answering, but after reading all the instructions and help on Adobe website, it was clear that it was my OS user ID that was wanted, but that kept being rejected, too.  So today I contacted Apple support and it took a half hour to correct the problem, which was with the original ID——everything had to be reset, e.g. new ID, keychain reset, etc. and then I was able to get the new Flash Player.  It is still STRANGE to me that nowhere else did I have a problem, but it seems it was a glitch with Mavericks and my computer.
    Good to know it was not Adobe…….
    Thank you,
    Patricia
