Leaopard 10.5.1 - can't work with the os x install cd - please help

Hey guys...
I have a Power Mac G5 Dual. I want to re-install my settings, specific files and so on... I don't want to delete everything and re-install. I want to keep my current user, with it's programs, folders and so on.. I know that you're to use the os x cd, and press special under the installation and choose something where you still can keep your user..... However I can't do that: every time I restart my Power Mac and it starts of from the Cd, I choose a language but when i press next, it says: cannot opdate to v10.5 on your computer..
Why does it say that? I just want to keep my user, but not delete and re-installl everything!!
Help please : )

Welcome to the Apple forums:
If you are trying to do a standard update to Leopard and you are already running Leopard, you have to choose the archive and install. The standard upgrade is only from Tiger or lower to Leopard.
After the language screen, at the lower left, I believe, is an "Options" button. Click it and select archive and install.
This should keep all your present settings, but I would caution you that you shuold NOT do anything unless you have a full backup of your present system.
You did not specify why you want to reinstall Leopard. Maybe you do not need to do a complete reinstall if you would post your problems.
Again, don't do anything unless you have a current backup either with TM or CarbonCopy.

Internet doesn't work with Killer Ethernet driver installed! PLEASE HELP!

Hi guys,
First of all I might as well start off by saying that I recently upgraded my system to a new build, and so bought some new parts. The motherboard I chose was a MSI z87 gd65 gaming and by gosh is it good to look at, my only problem is that when I install the driver of the disc is that the Killer Ethernet driver doesn't allow me to get internet access (but I am connected to my router).
I have reset windows, reinstalled the driver, restarted my pc, made the bios default and it still persists not to work! I am not sure if it doesn't won't to work with windows 8 because I had to boot from the installation cd. I can't update to windows 8.1 either because I don't have the internet connect/access Nd I can't get another driver because of the same reason!
Has anyone else come across this issue?

Remove Killer driver and suite using >>Killer Cleaner<<. After reboot just install pure drivers: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=174229.0

Go to the Map mode in your iDVD project and make sure the blue bin at the left is empty. That's where you drag slideshows to if you want the DVD to open immediately to that slideshow and bypass the menu.

If there is an item in there drag it out.

I have LabView but I do not have the Calibration and Configuration Palette,and I could not download it, how can I download it or if i cannot,can I work with the NI-DAQ Calibration_1200?

I have read in a tutorial for the board 1200 that I can calibrate it with the Calibration and Configuration Palette in LabVIEW, but I do not have them and I could not download it to access its libraries, so I can only download the NI-DAQ software,What's my best choice and if it is to download the palette with its libraries, how can download it with them?I'd appreciate your answers

If you wish to use your 1200 device in LabVIEW, you must download and install NI-DAQ. When you install NI-DAQ, it will ask you if you would like to install support for LabVIEW. By installing this support, you will then have access to the DAQ pallette in LabVIEW. The DAQ pallette requires that you have NI-DAQ installed.
For more information on installing and using your device, you can refer to the DAQ Quick Start Guide. You can download it from:

Just upgraded from a PC to a iMAC, will the PC code work with the Mac to install PSE12 ?

I will be picking up my new iMAC tomorrow and would like to know if the serial number from my PC version of PSE 12 will work with the iMac ?? I am the original owner of PSE 12
and I'd hate waste more money on something that I don't have to do... and i really can't afford to buy the new version of PSE...
Please let me know ASAP.....
thanks,
WT(ted) Sommer

It depends on the type of your purchase. If you bought the boxed version then it must have come with medias for PCs as well as MACs. If this is so then YES your serial number will work with either systems.
If, however, you bought a download version from Adobe website, or your boxed version did not come with both medias then the answer is NO. the serial in this case won't work with MAC version.
Hope this clarifies the current situation as known to us here.
Good luck.

What should i do to get all of those 4 at the same time?
Please let me know..Thank you!
First, be aware that Numbers is not MS Excel, and Excel is not Numbers. Features available in one of these two applications are not necessarily available in the other.
LINEST in Numbers works somewhat differently from what you describe. The function is well described in the "iWork Formulas and Functions Help" document, available through the Help menu.
I'd start there, with a search for LINEST.

HT201358 Can ARD3 work with the Active Directory setup on a Windows machine and without the need of Open Directory

We need the 'Golden Triangle' setup to work with ARD3 running on a Mac server with client Mac details retrieved from a Windows Active Directory. In this system, the ARD3 will be used to install packages from a Mac OS X server, where the client Mac list is gathered directly from a Windows Active Directory, which is already in place.
So, please guide me whether Apple Remote Desktop 3 is capable of getting client machine details from an Active Directory without the need of re-creating the client Mac list in the Mac server running ARD3.
If ARD3 can not be used in this case, do you recommend any other tools that can resolve our issue.
Thank you in advance.
Sudheesh.

ARD cannot directly obtain client information from Active Directory, no. It may be possible to create a script that would get such information and be able to put it into ARD, but I wouldn't begin to know how to write such a script. You may also be able to bind your OS X Server to ARD and create groups there. This article is obsolete for 10.6 or later but may provide some clues as to how to proceed:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24276
There are a number of third-party systems that can manage Macs that may be able to draw information from AD, such as Casper, LANDesk, and others. Which if any would meet your needs depends on many factors including how many devices you need to manage, whether you're looking for a cross-platform tool, your budget, etc. This is a difficult issue to address in a forum like this since there are so many variables to be considered.

Can wpg_docload work with the embedded plsql gateway?

Hi,
Looking at all the sample code with wpg_docload.download_file. Put the following in a plsql region, but it does not work. Is it due to my running with the embedded plsql gateway, rather than http server and mod_plsql?
Here's the code. The file exists and is a small 213-byte file.
declare lob_loc bfile;
v_length integer;
fname varchar2(100) := 'x.txt';
begin
lob_loc := bfilename('CELFILES_9906', fname);
v_length := dbms_lob.getlength(lob_loc);
owa_util.mime_header('text/plain', false);
htp.p('Content-length: ' || v_length);
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' || fname || '"');
-- close the headers
owa_util.http_header_close;
-- download the BLOB
wpg_docload.download_file( Lob_loc );
end;
It returns:
"HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error Server: Oracle XML DB/Oracle Database Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 X-DB-Content-length: 213 Transfer-Encoding: chunked Transfer-Encoding: chunked"
The filesize is correct and if I comment out the call to wpg_docload.download_file I see:
"Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-length: 213 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="x.txt""
Thanks.

Hi,
Tried simply doing the grant, but it did not work. Aside from having a bit of trouble with the loadblobfromfile (had to enumerate all 5 parameters) and also having to specifically do a dbms_lob.open, it worked!
Here's the final code that worked:
declare
lob_loc bfile;
v_length integer;
fname varchar2(100) := 'x.txt';
l_blob blob;
des_offset number := 1;
src_offset number := 1;
begin
lob_loc := bfilename('CELFILES_9906', fname);
v_length := dbms_lob.getlength(lob_loc);
DBMS_LOB.createtemporary(l_blob, FALSE);
dbms_lob.open(lob_loc, dbms_lob.lob_readonly);
DBMS_LOB.LOADBLOBFROMFILE(
dest_lob=>l_blob,
src_bfile=>lob_loc,
amount=>v_length,
dest_offset=>des_offset,
src_offset=>src_offset);
owa_util.mime_header('text/plain', false);
htp.p('Content-length: ' || v_length);
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' || fname || '"');
-- close the headers
owa_util.http_header_close;
-- download the BLOB
wpg_docload.download_file( l_blob );
DBMS_LOB.freetemporary(l_blob);
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
DBMS_LOB.freetemporary(l_blob);
RAISE;
end;
Thanks Udo.

Working with Video and Audio...Please help (i am not a coder!)

Hey all. I am currently working on a project in Flash (CS3
action 2.0)
It is an animation and it includes a layer mask of a TV
screen, which shows a precut quicktime movie on the screen.
I am working with multiple scenes (11 to be exact) they are
all my different cut points.
The animation consists of 1st scene- VO (voice over) and BG
SFX. When I hit Apple+Enter this part plays sync'd up correctly.
However as the scenes progress on the sound gets out of whack.
Scene 2 consists of the quicktime movie (Video and Audio)
mask playing on the screen. All sound heard is a part of the .mov.
For this one the timing is also good.
Here is where it gets fluky. The next scene consists of a VO
and BG SFX. (and only those things) However, at this point of the
movie i hear the sound of the next .mov i have embedded in the file
(from scene 3). This is all happening well before that scene even
shows up in the preview.
I hope i explained it as clearly as possible. Anyone have any
ideas?! I would greatly appreciate it!
btw- i have set the frame rate to 29fps to match that of the
quicktime movies that are embedded.

Hi Brian, I don't mean to nit-pick but this is an
actionscript 3 forum, so you'd probably have better luck with the
general forum for non-AS3 questions.
There could be a couple of things that are causing a problem,
its hard to say without actually having your project on hand.
It almost sounds like your movie is taking longer to load, if
thats the case you could simply start the audio a little later in
the time line to sync it up.
I know you don't want coding solutions but you can probably
have flash "wait" for the movie to begin playing, and have that act
as the starting point for the audio.

HT4757 I have a canon power shot G6 that no longer works with my iMac??? Please help

Up until 2 months ago my Canon Power Shot G6 has always worked with my IMac. However, my system no longer recognizes the camera upon connecting via usb. Why?
What should I do?

Oh my God thank you so much. I spent the last week trying to figure this **** thing out and that's all it took. Sometimes the most simple explanation is all that's required but last looked at. Thank you for pointing out the obvious. I kinda wish Linksys would've pointed that out to me when I exchanged a total of 25 e-mails with them. Oh well. Thank you again. I am so grateful.

Photoshop CS6 not working with new version of Yosemite. Please help!

When I was running Mavericks on my Macbook pro 15" Intel i7,everything seemed to be working completely fine. Now when I try to run Photoshop CS6 on Yosemite, the program keeps on crashing and giving me an error. Please help!

Sometimes the Yosemite upgrade breaks the install. You may have to uninstall and reinstall CS6, and do so as an administrator.
