Installing Drivers from Leopard disk

I installed windows and got myself through to the os seemingly ok. I popped in the leopard disk to install the drivers. From here it goes through the autorun process alright and then restarts on its own like it should. When windows loads back up I get one of those generic error reports, and no further drivers install off the "found new hardware" wizard as its described in the boot camp installation guide. Im assuming the drivers havent successfully installed because the os is not recognizing a wireless internet connection and the apple keys (volume, eject, etc.) are not working in windows.
If anyone could help me out that would be fantastic, thanks.

Any luck with this? Seems like I'm having the same issue.

Trackpad+keyboard not responding after installing drivers from Leopard DVD

I've just installed the Windows XP (SP2) drivers from my Mac OS X DVD (10.5.2), just sitting and watching as it progressed. When the final notice appears, saying that I am to press "finish" to exit the setup, I discover that the trackpad is unresponsive and so is the keyboard (I have a 15" MacBook Pro). I tried pressing the "shut off" button on my MBP and it turned off immediately. After starting up again I tried to connect a mouse using both USB-ports with no results.
I.e., there's no response from either USB port, nothing from the trackpad and nothing from the keyboard. Please help

Yes same here. Installed new trackpad driver on 18th Dec and the trackpad has had HUGE issues - unresponsive after resuming from hibernation in Vista. Takes about 5-10 minutes to sort itself out. Horrendous!!

Removing print drivers from Leopard

is it a)advisable and b)easy to remove unwanted printe drivers from Leopard's Library folder?

The printer folder is 2.7gb big, and I only use an Epson and/or a Lexmark, so I thought I might free up space to create an eDrive for TechTool. David Pogue's useful book on Leopard says you just trash unwanted drivers, but an article I just read online at Peachpit says that this can cause printing problems so I have a twinge of nervousness

Installing Mavericks from Leopard

I have an iMac (Intel) 2012 that came with Leopard already installed. I would like to format and and install Mavericks. I have the original Leopard DVD and I ask: is it possible to install Mavericks from Leopard? How do I do that?

Check which OS you have installed. I would think a 2012 Mac would have shipped with Snow Leopard (10.6).
If you really have Leopard (10.5) you'll need to purchase the Snow Leopard DVD from the Apple Retail Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
If you have Snow Leopard, use Software Update to bring it up to 10.6.8, then open the App Store from the Apple Menu. From there, "purchase" Mavericks (it's free).
Backing up a little, if you do have Leopard installed that came with your iMac, please go to About this Mac in the Apple Menu, then click More Info...
Under the Hardware section, note what the model identifier is and post it here.
Also, you should look at what software you have installed that may not work with Mavericks.

Did custom install of iLife from Leopard disk, want to install the rest.

When I bought my macbookpro a couple of years ago, it was supposed to have Leopard but didn't, so the Apple Store gave me a Leopard install disk. I installed Leopard (not an upgrade, an actual fresh install) but I guess I did a custom installation and didn't install all of the iLife apps (like iMovie).
Now I want to install those apps, but when I get into the installation process, it looks like I may have to either archive the entire OS and reinstall or install all of the iLife apps. Is there a way to just install the uninstalled apps?
My Leopard disk is 10.5.1, but the current version on my computer is 10.5.8, I suppose due to periodic upgrades.
Thanks!

Don't boot up from your original install disc. Instead, insert it, and browse it with Finder. You should see a "optional install software" or some similar looking thing (I can't remember its exact title). That's what you want to use to install iLife without reinstalling the whole system.

Cannot install Bootcamp Drivers from imac disk #1?

Installed 10.5 on new imac 2.4 GHZ with no problems. Updated to 10.5.1. Started Boot Camp install. When directed Installed Vista Ultimate with no problem. When directed Inserted imac disk #1 to install Drivers - showed zero(0) on disk. Inserted another CD and it loaded as normal. Re-inserted imac disk 1, still 0 on disk. Disk shows up on drive. Click on disk to open - 0 on disk. Set auto run - 0 on disk. No warning notices from Vista. Vista boots normal. 10.5 boots normal. Reinserted disk in Vista - no drivers - 0 on disk. Inserted disk #1 with 10.5 running - disk has normal install applications for imac(10.4). While in Mac OS did a search on disk # 1 for "setup.exe" - nothing found. Has anyone come across anything like this??

you can use your 10.6.x DVD for your Mac Pro.
There is no direct 3.04 installer, that is needed to be installed first.

Installing OS from a disk image

Hi,
I have quite a few systems that I need to rebuild. I've burned disk images of all the apps we need, onto a FW800 drive which has really sped things up. One thing I can't figure out though, is how to install the OS from a disk image. Each of these systems are getting a fresh hard drive with no OS installed. Booting off the install DVD works fine with fresh drives, but how does one boot into a FW800 drive with a disk image of the install DVD?
I thought cmd-opt-shift-delete was the key stroke for this, but it doesn't work for these systems, can anyone help out?
These systems are a combination of Leopard and Snow Leopard and are all Mac Pro's from the 2006-2007 to the early 2009 models.
Thanks
Stuart

Cool, thanks, I was kind of thinking along those lines, but couldn't quite put my finger on it/figure it out, that makes sense, appreciate it.
Thanks again for quick reply,
Stuart

Re-Installing iCal From Software Disk

I'm trying to re-install iCal from my Leopard Disk, and I read all the discussions online that you use the "optional installs.mpkg" function. When I get to select an application to re-install, it won't let me choose anything. It's greyed out, and it says "skip" beside each application. So how can I re-install iCal?

Use Pacifist to extract it manually, and then rerun all applicable updates.

Uninstalling Fireface 400 drivers from Leopard???

Guys, I have a couple of questions for you if you can help me out. Me and my friend have recently tried to install Fireface 400 on my MacBook Pro. Manual said that we are supposed to connect interface, switch it on, than switch on computer, and that the Mac itself will recognize the interface and ask for installation of drivers. It did not happen. In fact, Leopard did not "see" it in any shape, and what I was concerned about the most is that in the System Preferences>Network section Firewire port was switched off and there was no way for us to switch it on, or at least we did not know how. Another thing...Than we installed drivers for Fireface 400 and restarted the whole thing. Fireface 400 APPEARED, but only in DEVICE section in Logic Pro Audio section. It was still not visible in system preferences. How is this possible? Now I am back home and I do not know how to uninstall fireface drivers...should I only delete the two apps that came with it or there are some more files that should be deleted in order to remove this device from system?
One more thing, is there any way to make your WHOLE MAC OS audio go through the sound card, because the sound is going through my studio monitors (via external) sound card while working under Logic, but when I play songs via iTunes or QuickTime, my integrated laptop speakers play.
Can this be fixed?
Sorry for all this writing, I really wanna know as much as possible!
Thanx in advance!

It sounds like your Fireface IS working properly, if you can select it in Logic's Sound Preferences, and if you can hear sound coming out of it through Logic.
Logic has its own Sound Preferences, which you've found, but in order to make sound go out of the Fireface from iTunes and other applications, go to System Preferences, select SOUND, and then select the Output tab and select the Fireface from the list of output devices. Then all of your Mac audio will go out of the Fireface.
When you select Firewire in Network Preferences, that is to set up a NETWORK between two computers using a firewire cable. You will NOT see Audio Interfaces or other things hooked up via Firewire here, so don't worry about that. You should never need to look here unless you're setting up a NETWORK between two computers, or setting up an internet connection. This has nothing to do with firewire devices.
If you see your Audio Device when you look at SOUND preferences in System Prefs, and when you look in DEVICES inside of Logic, then the drivers are installed correctly and the interface should work.
If you want to see anything and everything that is hooked up to your firewire or other ports, select ABOUT THIS MAC from the Apple menu top left, and then select MORE INFORMATION. When the System Profiler program comes up, select FIREWIRE from the column on the left and you should see every device that is connected.
Good Luck!

Macbook doesnt boot from leopard disk

My Macbook pro started to get very slow,
so i decided to do a fresh install,
firstly used the original disk and formatted the drive,
and left it to install,
but install failed,
cleaned the disk tried again and this time it displayed a kernel panic "restart",
the recovery disk is in poor condition so this could be causing the problem,
then i tried the leopard retail disk,
which has version 10.5.1,
the install kept restarting wouldnt even get to the apple logo,
now i dont have any other options,
sold my macbook air,
and the imac is at my parents,
only thing i have infront of me now is a hp touchsmart,
i got the image from the recovery disk on to the pc,
then tried transmac to burn back to a dl dvd but got a error half way through the process,
anyone have any ideas or solutions i can try out...

Worked it out,
for future reference this is what i did,
Download trial version of transmac,
install and then open the extracted .dmg image,
click expand and save,
then download ultraiso trial version,
click convert .dmg to iso,
once done i used the cyberlink package to burn onto a DL Dvd,
(you can also download imageburn which is free),
placed burnt dvd into the macbook pro and install process started straight away...

Installing Windows without Leopard Disk

Just wondering if there was any way I could install windows without the leopard disk. I'm at work right now and was hoping to install windows vista but my leopard disk is at home.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
If you have a copy of Windows Vista with you, you can use Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition and install Vista on it. The only point is you cannot install the necessary drivers at this time since you do not have the Leopard DVD.

IMac not booting from Leopard Disk

I have been given the task of helping out a friend who has recently inherited a 20" Aluminium iMac from some late family members. The machine has a password to get in which he doesn't know but other than that it boots as far as the login screen fine. I tried to get it to boot from my Leopard disk and it just reboots instead of launching OS X from the DVD. I've run a hardware check and everything is reported as running fine (although I did leave it doing a full one last night, so i'll post any updates if there are any). Does anyone know what might be the problem?
I've tried holding down alt and selecting the DVD, reboots as before.
I've tried holding down C, which it just reboots to after spinning up the DVD
I've tried holding down cmd,alt,shift,del but it seems to just ignore this key combination
I'm using an old white keyboard and a USB mouse as the ones that came with it are wireless.
Thanks in advance

It's quite possible that your retail Leopard DVD predates the release of the iMac and so lacks the necessary drivers for the newer hardware. Ask your friend if he got the disks that came with the iMac and if so use that disk set. If he didn't get them, identify the exact iMac model:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1758
Then you can look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1159
and see what version of Leopard came with the iMac. If your retail disk is earlier than the version that came with the iMac, it won't work. You'll need a later version of the retail disk (if available) or your friend will need to contact Apple tech support and see if he can order a replacement disk set for the iMac.
Hope this helps.

Can't install drivers from HP for laserjet 1022 printer on my new computer with Windows 7.

I have a laserjet 1022. I can't install the HP drivers provided on the HP website onto my new computer. When it asks me to connect the printer, the printer is recognized, however the message continues to say waiting for the connection. I have tried all of the suggestions listed on the forum by both HP and other individuals, including down loading the drivers from other countries. Other attempts when downloading the drivers ends up with a message saying that the download could not be completed. I have tried other USB cables and that doesn't work. I love HP products but I really need help on this one. HELP!

Day Trader

Hello DayTrader,
When you connect the printer and if the message continues to say "Waiting for Connection", please try the below step..
Go to Device Manager, ( to do so , Right click on Computer icon, Select Manage, from the left pance m click on Device Manager , which would display the Device Manager on right pane.)
There should be Yellow bang entries ( Yellow ! mark ) with printer name on it.
Right Click on each of them and select Update Driver.
Select "Browse my Computer for driver software "
Click on Browse button to point to the CD ( if you are using the CD to run the installation ) else copy the path where the drivers have been extracted if you had downloaded it. Usually it will be in folder with name starting 7z... under TEMP folder .
Then Click Next button .

Clean install of windows 7 - how to install drivers from USB memory stick?

I purchased a Toshiba Satellite C50 loaded with windows 8 but want to revert to windows 7.
I have downloaded the necessary drivers and have mounted the .exe files onto a USB pen for installation.
Before I proceed to wipe windows 8 I'd like to know - if I install 7, will my trackpad stop functioning?
If so, how do I install the relevant drivers from the USB pen?
Thanks, John

99.9% sure that W7 will identify the trackpad and install it. You just run the exe's using file explorer or Start >Run then browse. You may decide to leave the laptop as the W7 install left it but you should check Device Manager to ensure there are no unrecognised devices
