Is it Possible with Leopard?

Is it possible to run a MacMini (with no screen conected) tru screen sharing on a iMac 24" over firewire network?
if so, can we use in the Macmini a screen resolution of say... 1900 x 1200 ?

You buy a Dell Windows PC and it comes with a OEM version of Windows and you can't use that on another machine neither.
If you pay $300 for Windows 7 you can place it on any PC you want, but still only one copy.
Apple doesn't sell it's OS for any computer, they only provide it as part of the hardware they are selling.
Apple is a hardware company that also makes great software to run on that hardware as a complete package so it runs better and more reliable.
So it's a different business model, and to protect that business model so it works requires software use licenses.
If you want something that looks like OS X and is reliable, no viruses and runs on generic PC's then look at MacBuntu Linux. It's free.
I have it running here in my virtual machine program, but you can use the free VirtualBox to run the free Macbuntu right on your Windows PC until your familiar with how to dual boot your Windows machine and install it in a partition next to Windows.

Macbuntu is a OS X like theme on Ubuntu Linux, so you'll have to learn all about Linux at Ubuntu first.
You can install Ubuntu and then change it to MacBuntu as well.

Looking to upgrade to Leopard...possible with an external CD/DVD rom drive?

I bought my MacBook in May 2006, and after my AppleCare had expired, my optical drive would randomly decide whether or not it would eject the disks I would feed it. Before it started acting up, I purchased Leopard and installed it right after it came out last year. Since a lot of third party programs were not compatible with Leopard immediately, I thought I would revert back to Tiger and wait it out a bit until programs were updated to be compatible with Leopard.
In the meantime, I bought an external DVD/CD drive for $70 (Kanguru U2-DVDRW-20LS ... http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...o... ) because I didn't want to pay the $300-$400 it would cost to get my optical drive repaired. It works fine, several times a year I do a clean wipe re-install and it works just great when installing the backup disks that came with my computer initially (Tiger). When I go to install Leopard though, it won't allow me to did it. I was thinking it may have to do something with the drivers for the actual external hard drive..but I can't find any on the Kanguru website...can anyone give me any guidance? I'm pretty clueless with all of this. Thanks in advance!!
*Short version: I want to know how to get Leopard on my 2006 MacBook (which previously ran Tiger) with the Kanguru U2-DVDRW-20LS external DVD/CD drive instead of my optical drive (since it is broken).*

If the ext DVD/CD burner can read dual-layer DVDs, then you should be able to install via it. We do that with my mate's 17" iMac whose superdrive refuses to read DVDs. However, that's with a LaCie external burner. I don't know the Kanguru model.

After a week with Leopard.

The good news for me is that is mostly stable. The bad news is that it has some unreproducible quirks on my machine. To share two with you:
1. At one point, the keyboard worked for application, but not in the Finder. This meant that I couldn't perform a search or invoke Finder menus using the keyboard. Very strange. A restart solved the problem.
2. At one point, TM and the Address Book decided to go to war. When I opened the address book and the invoked Time Machine, the dock would not disappear. This mean that I couldn't cancel out of TM because the Dock was in the way. I had to hide the dock in order to cancel out of TM. A restart solved the problem.
Looks like memory is getting a little kerfluffled in Leopard. I tend to keep a lot of programs open, so I'm not sure if it is Leopard or a misbehaving application.
On the bright side, even with some quirks, Spaces for me is fantastic. I can now keep all the apps open that I use during the day without having to play hide the application. Spaces was really done right. Congrats to Apple for that one.
Even with its quirks, Leopard is usable for me. It hasn't actually crashed, caused me a data loss, etc. I'm keeping my Tiger backup around just in case I need to revert, but overall, I'm pretty happy with Leopard. Sounds like some fixes are in the works which should make Leopard even more stable.

Hi abrody,
I checked the panic log. I was very concerned because I just put new memory in and thought that there was a real possibility of a bad memory chip. On further research, I tend to think not. Here is a dump of the log:

Can MacBook with Leopard OS do two-sided printing on the Epson NX515?

I am looking to buy an all in one printer, and the Epson NX515 seems best in a number of respects, especially the fact that its ink cartridges come in separate colors, which leads to much less waste of ink. But there is one item in the Epson documentation that concerns me ... the fact that two-sided printing may not be supported by Mac. Does anyone know if the Mac Book A1181 with Leopard OS does or does not support two-sided printing?
Thank you.

Hi @Blazer5,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that you are wondering how to setup two-sided printing with your HP Envy 5532. I am happy to help!
To setup the duplex printing, I would recommend to go through this guide, Printing on Both Sides of the Paper (Duplex) for HP ENVY 5530 e-All-in-One and Deskjet Ink Advantage..., as it has instructions for both Windows and Mac. Also here are some guidelines for you to follow:
Understanding the following items can help you avoid possible problems when printing on both sides of the page.
Do not print on both sides of the following types of paper, or jams might occur:
Transparencies
Envelopes
Photo paper
Glossy paper
Paper lighter than 60 g/m2 (16 lb).
Paper heavier than 105 g/m2 (28 lb).
Several kinds of paper require a specific orientation when you print on both sides of a page. These include letterheads, preprinted paper, and paper with watermarks and pre-punched holes. The printer prints the first side of the paper first. Load the paper with top edge first and the print side down.
Also, this post, Vista / Win 7 Duplex Printing Troubleshooting Guide, by @Bob_Headrick. Might have some answers for you as well.
In the print dialog box (after selecting File, and Print), you will see a box next to two-sided printing, that can be checked or un-checked, in order to toggle in-between the two functions.
To change the print quality, you will want to go through this guide, HP ENVY 5530 e-All-in-One series and HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 4510 e-All-in-One series - Print Docum....
For future reference, here is your printer's user guide.
Hope this helps!

A few problems with Leopard running on my White iMac...

I have only found 2 problems so far with Leopard running on my iMac. First off, the most annoying one:
Sometimes, especially when switching users, the screen turns to the "gray screen of death." You know, the one with the request to restart your computer in like 4 languages and a huge picture of a power button... anyway, it is getting quite annoying and I wish I could make it stop. It has also happened when I have been dealing with moving large amounts of data, "large pictures, movies, etc.)
And now, the second problem. I was just looking up the memory left on my hard drive when I noticed something I hadn't before. my 160gb hard drive had 50gb left. not too strange there. but when I checked through all the things (apps, users, system, library, developer, etc.) in it (I simply did apple-i and checked the gb each of them took up) and after a quick add-up on my calculator widget, all the things in the hard drive added up to 50gb. so I have 50gb free, 50gb used and a 160gb hard drive. How does that work? Do I need to do something to get that extra 60gb back or is it just gone???

Canon CD Tray incompatible with Leopard?

Hi,
I'm a "happy" owner of Canon's iP4200 Pixma printer and I've occassionally used it's CD-Tray C for printing CD labels. This worked fine on my PC but ever since I got my Mac Mini with Leopard, I haven't been able to get it to work. Causal printing (even in color) works all fine, but as soon as I set up LabelPrint, pick the right tray, the right disc type and everything, it just coughs up an Error 1001 (claiming the CD isnt in the tray or the tray isnt in there) and it just pushes it out of the printer physically.
From what I've read, this is a casual problem for Mac owners, but everybody has been able to solve it by printing the actual file to PDF in the past; and then printing the PDF itself. This does not work for me, it gives me the same error (and it does the same when printing from Adobe Photoshop).
This makes me think it must be either a driver error or something in Leopard; I do have both the latest Leopard (10.5.1), the latest Canon drivers (4.8.3) and the latest LabelPrint (1.6.0)
I could print the covers over the network from a Windows notebook, but Mac-printer sharing only works with the Apple LaserWriter driver which is both slow and does not of course support any features like CD tray printing etc. Installing the printer with its correct Windows driver and trying to print over it just results in it not working; Windows printer queue is empty and so is the Mac's.
Do I have to buy another printer? And god **** it, what brand if not Canon? Is it even possible to print properly with Canon on Mac?
Thanks for any replies!
Daniel

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
See my printer FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/printersx.html
which may have some solutions for you.
Also note, printing labels for CDs is unwise. It has nothing to do with Mac or PC. Labels shorten the length of CDs. http://www.macintouch.com/cdrfailure.html covers that and much more. Basically for CDs, you should buy CDs that are prepackaged in a jewelcase, and not a spindle, and make your own jewelcase inserts or write on the jewelcase exterior the contents of the CD if you want to prolong the media life.

Need an App. uninstaller that works with Leopard.

I need to clear space on my MBP hard drive and upgrading it's internal drive is way too expensive, if you want to preserve your warranty. (Apple Stores won't do it!) I have an external drive, but I'm trying to use it as little as possible cause its a pain to carry around and set up, plugs and wires etc. So I need to find a good, Leopard compatible, application uninstaller. There are too many to choose from: Clean Sweep, CleanApp, AppZapper, Forklift etc.
What has anybody tried, and what are you happy with, and what seems to find all those pesky hidden files?
I know Leopard is an issue because most of the above apps make mention on their sites of issues they are having when working with Leopard.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, John

MacBook with Leopard question...

Hi Everyone,
I am considering buying a Macbook this week. The question is if I buy it right now will it come with Leopard and iLife08 pre-installed considering that Leopard launch is just round the corner or will I not be eligible for it. I cannot wait to buy it and must buy it this week.
If for some reason it does not have leopard installed then what do you suggest I do. I am in India where Apple support is very limited.
Thanks for your responses in advance.

Don't know the policy in India. In the US:
http://blogs.pcworld.com/staffblog/archives/005700.html
If you've bought a Mac in the past two weeks--you're in luck. Apple says you're eligible to get a copy of Leopard for a $9.95 shipping and handling fee. Ditto if you buy a Mac system today. According to Brian Croll, senior director of Mac OS X product marketing, Apple will be pushed onto PCs as soon as possible. However, if for some reason your system doesn't have it preinstalled, you'll either get the Leopard DVD dropped into the box, or you'll be able to order it for the same shipping and handling fee as users who already bought their Mac this month.

Running Office 98 or Office 2001 for the Mac with Leopard

Is it possible to run Office 98 or Office 2001 with Leopard?

Can run OS 9.2.2 along with Leopard and access the Office programs that way, and if so do you have to restart the computer to access OS 9.2.2 or can you just launch OS 9.2.2?

Web Sharing with Leopard 10.5.2 and Airport Extreme Base Station HELP!!!

Ok...I want to set up web sharing on my computer but so far my attempts have failed.
I have an intel iMac with Leopard 10.5.2 installed and I have the latest Airport extreme base station (With draft n).
I turn on web sharing, and of course it works locally but not when trying to be accessed over the internet.
Now I realize that by default my routers address wont let anyone connect to my computer over the internet.
My router has an ip of 10.0.1.1, and I assigned my computer a static ip address of 10.0.1.200.
Now in the network preferences pane and the airport category, i set my computers IP (the 10.0.1.200), I put the gateway as 255.255.255.0, the router as 10.0.1.1 and the DNS as 10.0.1.1
Now going over to the airport utility I added a new entry in the port mapping section, with port 80 (both public and private) and the IP of my machine, 10.0.1.200.
Now in theory this should work but NOOOOO.
Does anyone have the same setup? a wireless network with the new airport extreme base station and has successfully configured Web Sharing?
Thanks in advance.
Felipe

Well here is an update.
I saw an entry in apple support that said I had to change some setting in the apache folder /etc/apache2 in order to avoid getting the 403 forbidden error. I tried this and it did not work, i checked my user configuration file as well and the path to my home site directory was correct
Anyone here have a similar setup and has it working? It shouldnt be too hard to set up web sharing through a router. It has to be possible or else a lot of people would not buy a router because of this.
thanks in advance to anyone kind enough to help
Bye.

Using MYST Successfully with Leopard 10.5.2)

Greetings.
I am considering buying Myst for the first time, but have read of the many difficulties using Myst with Leopard 10.5.2 (or with any version of Leopard, for that matter).
Is it possible to have success using Myst with Leopard? If so, would any of you be so kind as to share with me the details? I haven't a clue where to start.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
I've tried several times, and I can't get it to work...
I also tried installing the updates and it still doesn't work...
This is one reason why I have a problem with mac when it updates its OS...
Prior to upgrading from Tiger to Leopard, Myst IV worked fine.
Now, It doesn't work at all. Mac should invest more in new technologies while keeping backwards compatibility...
I wouldn't buy it if I were you...

Photoshop Crashing after Loading with Leopard

Is anyone else having this problem?
Photoshop CS3 loads up fine with Leopard, but a few seconds after the tool bars appear, it crashes. I tried re-installing Photoshop, but the same thing happens.
Any suggestions?

If you use the "upgrade" option to install a new OS, there is a good likelihood of running into trouble later on. The "Archive and Install" option is the way to go.
Also:
I still advocate Repairing Permissions (with Apple's Disk Utility) before AND after any system update or upgrade, as well as before AND after installing any software that requires an installer that asks for your password.
I have seen software installations go sour because the installer did not find everything as and where it should be.
I have also seen software installations go bad because the installer did not clean up after itself properly and did not leave everything as and where it should be.
This is just my own personal opinion and practice based on my own observations. Others may disagree and that's OK. I can only base my routines and my advice to others on my own experience and conclusion. I don't pretend to know why others believe otherwise.
Repairing Permissions after the fact (i. e. not immediately before and after an install) may NOT help. Try it anyway, though.
====
Additionally, if your machine does not run 24/7 so that it runs the daily, weekly and monthly Cron Scripts in the middle of the night as intended by Apple, run Cocktail (shareware) as well.
Cron Scripts are maintenance routines designed by Apple to run on a daily, weekly and monthly basis in the middle of the night.
If you don't run them, you WILL run into trouble, sooner rather than later.
Here's an excerpt from the Apple tech doc http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107388
Mac OS X performs background maintenance tasks at certain times if the computer is not in sleep mode. If your computer is shut down or in sleep at the designated times, the maintenance does not occur. In that case, you may want or need to run these manually.
Mac OS X periodically runs background tasks that, in part, remove system files that are no longer needed. This includes purging older information from log files or deleting certain temporary items. These tasks do not run if the computer is shut down or in sleep mode. If the tasks do not run, it is possible that certain log files (such as system.log) may become very large.
Also, from: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106978
The disk activity generated by find is a normal part of file system maintenance, used for tasks such as removing invisible temporary files that are used by the system. It is scheduled to occur early in the morning at 03:15 everyday, 04:30 on Saturdays, and 05:30 on the first day of each month.
NOTE:
There have been comments to the effect that Apple "fixed" this in 10.4.2 and later versions of the OS, but I have not been able to verify this to my satisfaction. The reference in the 10.4.2 release notes are far from explicit on this subject.

If you have DiskWarrior, run it regularly too.

Syncing Palm 680 with Leopard

Has anyone successfully synced a 680 with Leopard? The Apple tech got it working yesterday but it didn't hold. Missing Sync didn't work either, and damaged enough files that I had to reload Leopard and reconstruct my programs/data. Apple says it's Palm's problem; Palm says it's Apple's problem. And Palm doesn't even have 10.5. as an option to register for this forum. Syncing worked like a charm with Tiger, but this is turning into a nightmare.
Post relates to: Treo 680 (AT&T)

After recently installing Leopard on my IMac, I could not sync my Treo 680 any longer.
The way I managed to sync it again was:
1. by changing the Desktop to version 4.2.1
2. changing on the desktop the HotSync Connection Setting to bluetooth...nc-port and choosing under Settings: fastest possible.
3. clicking on the handheld, the Hotsynch icon
And lo and behold, it syncd.

Etended Desktop Stopped Working With Leopard..

With regards to an iMac 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 with 1GB DDR SDRAM, I upgraded to Leopard (vs 10.5.2). At first, the computer would not boot up and all I got was a blue screen. I've worked through that mess, but now I have lost the option for extended desktop. When I go to System Preferences > Displays > Display Preferences, there is no arrangement tab. When I go through the help screens, I get a message that says there is no arrangement tab as the computer is not capable of doing this.
Before I upgraded to Leopard, I had no problem using extended desktop with dual monitors. Now all I get is mirrored desktop on both screens.
My question is, is it possible that there is not enough RAM to support the extended desktop and that is why it is not showing up as an option? With Leopard running and nothing else, there is less than 200 Mb of RAM left for everything else. My computer has 1 GB of RAM.

That fixed it. I did not know that my extended desktop was being provided by Screen Spanning Doctor. Once I found it on my computer and enabled it, I was able to use the arrangement tab in display preferences and everything is back to normal.
Thank you!
BTW, for anyone wondering, Screen Spanning Doctor works flawlessly with Leopard!

Is it Possible with Leopard?
