Is Perian safe to use on MAC OSX Leopard 10.5.6?

Will I screw up any Apple application, etc... by installing Perian?

Thanks...Do you have to un-install it if you update MAC OSX or QuickTime in case of issues?
No.

I work for a mobile network operator and although this isn't something we support anyway, we would usually stumble across something like this when customers call us for advice prior to contacting the manufacturer for support, yet this hasn't been a call driver so I'd imagine this is isolated... (either that or not many people have updated their device and set up the wireless sync lol)...
Hey Apple! Any ideas? :-)

Trying to use Imovie to create a movie using a Mac OSX 10.6.7, 3.2 g Intel core. Using clips from my Sony CRX 150 and need to remove sound in order to add music to the movie. HEELLLP!

OK, I 'm attempting my first movie here using this Mac OSX Snow Leopard with IMovie. I have clips I created from an 8mm Movie projector copied on my Sony CRX 150 and the sound of the projector is all over these clips and I have no idea how to remove that before adding music. So far this has been great and this is my first bump in the road. Also I notice tho, that the icon for my camcorder has disappeared from the desktop and looks like I'm gonna have trouble "ejecting" it in order to shut things down!!! HELLLLP!

Thanks. I tested it out and you were correct. I loaded 2 .dv movies from my external HD back onto my internal HD, and got them re-imported into iMovie, took a few short clips from each of the 2 iMovie events and pasted them into a new project in the Project Browser. Then I deleted these 2 "source clips" from my internal HD, closed iMovie and then re-opened it and found that iMovie would NOT export the smaller clips for a "highlights" .4mv movie without the "source clips" being available.
I read your link on Quicktime. It talks about mostly trimming, which is what I did with each iMovie event before I took each one as a project to export as a smaller .4mv file. But if I use Quicktime (do I need QT Pro or basic), what advantage is it to me to use QT over iMovie (I must admit I am a novice at iMovie and have never used QT or QT Pro as a tool)? Will it then convert any edits I make to a .m4v movie or do I need iMovie to do that?
Does QT allow trimming multiple segments out of a movie during one edit session, or can you only do 1 at a time? By that I mean that, for example, when I use Sonys Picture Motion Browser for my .mts movies, you can only set one Start and one End point for each edit/trim you do: it does not allow you to set multiple Start Stop points like iMovie allows in its Event or Project browser. You can only do one "trim" at a time, save it and then reopen to do another trim. not very useful.

1. Cd wont eject, tried everything. 2 Item is being used by Mac osx.

Just before my cd refused to eject I ended up with two folders that have what I would call a biohazard logo on them (Three evenly parted triangles with all the points in the center). The cd that's stuck can be ejected from the desktop n finder, but won't dislodge from computer. So the computer thinks I keep putting it back in. There's another file with the same name as the cd in the tray. That item is apparently being used by Mac osx, and I can't do anything with it. This is all quite bizarre. Everything else works like lightning (downloads, apps, uploads etc.)

MBP running Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.8 cannot get past login screen even in safe boot

Help! I have a Macbook Pro purchased in 2009, running Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.8 which froze while running Adobe Illustrator. On reboot, it won't allow me to go past the login screen. I tried starting up from the disc, running disk verification and repair and repairing disk permissions, and trying to start up in safe boot, all to no avail. When the login screen comes up it gives the name of my hard drive with a (2) after it, which seems strange. Any suggestions short of reinstalling the system software? I don't want to lose my applications/data!

I am a novice mac user. Again my mac is getting slower by the day and i dont know how to increase its overall performance. Is there any simple software that can boost overall performance or will I have to reformat my MBP? I have a 200gb HD with 50 gb free and 4 gb of ram.
Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
Launch the Activity Monitor utility. Pull down the list near the top and set it to "All Processes". Click on the "CPU" column heading to put the highest CPU consumers at the top. Also click on the "CPU" tab in the lower part of the window to check the value for "% Idle". If that value is much above zero, check the other categories for signs of resource problems. If nothing there points to a possible problem, launch the Console utility and look for messages that might suggest a problem. If you see messages that you have trouble interpreting, post them here and someone should be able to help.

Compatibility issues with Mac OSX Leopard 10.5 and Word 2004 11.6.3 on G5 PowerMac?

Are there compatibility issues with Mac OSX Leopard V. 10.5 and Word 2004 11.6.3 when installed on a PowerMac G5? I understand the Leopard upgrade is okay on the later Intel Mac, but what about my G5 PowerPC Mac?

I do not use Microsoft Excel much but when i do use it it works fine on my G5. my powerbook has excel to but sometimes freezes on the powerbook. but not the G5 so give it a try you can always uninstall it if it does not work good

Mac OSX Leopard

My daughter was wondering if she could download Mac OSX Leopard on her HP Laptop that i bought her this christmas. So I was wondering if someone could answer this question.

She honestly only wants it for Photobooth, iChat and Garageband...
She's a musician...
By the way do anyone know of a program similar to either of these?
That's three probrams, not 2 and Photobooth and Garageband come with a new Mac, not with Leopard.
Tell her to buy a new MacBook then she will have all of that and more and will still be able to use all her Windows programs.

How do i install Mac OSX Leopard on other drive

how do i install Mac OSX Leopard on a drive other than my Snow Leopard computer? I need to access old files that will not open with new OS.

Simple. When you get the prompt to install Snow Leopard on your existing computer you will see a button that says "change destination disk..." or words to that effect.
You can select any mounted volume. If that volume already has a later version of OS X installed, you will need to erase it first using Disk Utility.

CF8 on Mac OSX Leopard

Hi All
Got my new Macbook Pro (OSX version 10.5.2), need to setup
CF8.... I tried installing CF8 using the Mac's Apache Web Server
and ran into configuration issues. Ran out of time, so I
uninstalled and tried to install CF8 using CF's built in web server
(and run from port 8500). I got the same result - I couldn't run CF
because it wouldn't start, couldn't bring up
http://127.0.0.1:8500/cfide/administrator/index.cfm
Does anyone have a straight forward path of installing CF8 on
the Mac OSX Leopard? I have uninstalled CF and don't want to move
forward until I get a warm and fuzzy from someone who's already
done this.... anyone?
Thanks in advance,
Rich

Good news! Adobe has released ColdFusion 8.01, which among
many other
fixes and enhancements, supports Leopard!
You can get it by downloading the Developers Edition now.

Dreamweaver CS3 and Mac OSX Leopard 10.5

I did an Erase and Install of Mac OSX Leopard 10.5... so it's
a clean install.
I installed the Adobe Web Premium software (full, not
upgrade).
Dreamweaver has been CRASH city. Try to merge some tables...
crash. Try to copy past a graphic from one page to another...
crash. Try to connect to a MySQL database.... crash. Trying to work
on a website I must have had 10 crashes in the last hour.
Is there an upgrade needed to CS3 to work correctly on
Leopard?

David thanks so very much!!!
After hours of looking for a solution i went into the
following folders
Mac HD/Users/[user]/Library/Application
Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver 9/Configuration
Mac HD/Users/[user]/Library/Application
Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver 9/configuration-1
removed the files as you said above
MacFileCache[random_numbers].dat
and hey presto, restarted Dreamweaver and it loaded, but for
one time only, then the problem started again where it would tell
me there is an ftp error and cannot connect to the remote host,
then when i clicked ok, it would tell me there as an eror trying to
load an empty document.
My problems started after upgrading leopard MacOSX 10.5.
However, it seems that this problem is persistant everytime i
restart Dreamweaver, do you know how i can permanantly solve this
and why its being caused?
Thanks
Derek

Can someone tell me how to make my screen full size with Safari ? I am using a Mac osx 10.6.8.

Can someone tell me how to make my screen full size on my Mac OSX 10.6.8. using safari. I know this is a simple question. I have always had it on full screen and recently had it worked on remotely and now I can't get the screen back to full size. I appreciate any advise you can offer. Thank you

from the BetterTouchTool blog, older versions can be obtained using these links:
The last 64bit Snow Leopard (10.6 ) version (v 0.939 ) can be downloaded here
<http://bettertouchtool.net/btt0.939.zip>
If you are using an older 32bit Mac you’ll have to use this version: 0.785

Installing Mac OSX Leopard Server 10.6 on a Mac Air

Hi
Im trying to install Mac OSX Server 10.6 on a Mac Air which have Lion developer preview 4 on it, i try to install from
a .dmg file thats stored in the downloads folder when it runs it give me a message "resturt to begin installation" with a
restart button, i click it and then computer restarts and nothing happens why ?
also the server file is big 7 GB so i failed to burn it on dvd or copy to external hard disk and install from there

You will want to use a external double-layer (DL) DVD disk that you've recorded, or use an external disk configured to boot the distro.
Also make a full backup of your boot disk before you load this, as there is no "downgrade" option to get back to whatever version of Snow Leopard client you might be using on the box.
Please (also) read the HT4313 support article.
And for completeness...
This particular configuration isn't supported by Apple.
Mac OS X Server doesn't "like" DHCP addressing, and that can be common on portables.

Can i Install Mac OSX Leopard 10.5 /10.6 ?

Hello guys,
I've bought about 3 weeks ago an iPhone 3G. Since i have my iPhone i like to produce software for the iPhone with the developers kit from apple. But i have one problem. I have an Acer Aspire notebook with:
4GB memory
Intel Processor (2,2 GHZ)
Ati Videocard
Windows Vista Premium
Can i Install Mac OSX on this notebook ? Maybe with dual boot.
Best Regards,
Theodoor de Wit

A slightly different perspective from what others have already posted:
Even assuming there were no licensing/legal problems with this & you could somehow successfully hack the OS & SDK to install & run on your Acer, would you really want to try to use that as a development platform for iPhone apps? It would be like trying to build a sturdy house on an uncertain foundation: you would never know if or when the whole thing might collapse or how to tell if the fault was in what you built or not.
If you want to develop for the iPhone, invest in a Mac. If you are any good at it, judging from the success stories you could quickly & easily make back the cost of that investment & much more. Even if you don't, you will have a very well made & supported computer running what is arguably the most stable & user-friendly OS on the planet.
