Leopard 10.5.2 update

I did the 10.5.2 software update on my iBook G4 and when I restarted there just the 'blue screen of death'. Ran the Leopard install disk but first aid said there was nothing wrong. I reinstalled using the 'previous system' option and it was fine running on 10.5. I then did the software update again as I thought the download might have got corrupted. Back to the blue screen again. First aid says nothing wrong. Managed to start it up by holding down the apple and option key but that only worked once. Managed to restart a couple of times by holding down the apple, option and the P and R keys but now it won't restart again at all. I'm going to reinstall and go back to 10.5. Surely Apple must be aware of these problems? There's something definitely wrong with the 10.5.2 update, judging by the amount of comments in discussions. Does anybody have a solution? Does it mean I can never update my software again? Surely not.

That sounds pretty strange. "Blue Screen Of Death" is more of a Windows thing - on that platform the blue screen indicates a fatal crash state (it's the equivalent of a Kernel Panic on a Mac). The blue screen you're probably seeing is something that is a normal but usually brief part of the bootup process. After the initial startup/gray screen, the Mac should go blue for a moment before your desktop appears. And from what you're describing, it sounds like your computer may be hanging/freezing at that point in the booting process.
The first question I'd ask is, how much time did you give it? When I installed 10.5.2 it needed to clear the boot caches, which meant sitting on one screen for several minutes before the machine appeared to restart again. There wasn't any reassuring dialog box on the screen (an "everything's fine, we're just clearing the boot cache" message would have been nice), I remember getting a bit worried and being tempted to get involved for fear my machine had locked up. I let it go, though, and after a while it wound up working.
I'll guess the process would take forever on your machine as well (we're both on G4's). My first recommendation is to try it again, and give the process a full ten minutes (mine was more than five but less than ten). If that's not working, then I recommend going to the downloads page and downloading/installing the Combo Updater for 10.5.2. It's a beefier download (weighing in at around 350MB), but it's a complete set of all the files necessary for the patch and it's more likely to run smoothly.
Good luck!

If you have your old system backed up then erase the drive and restore your backup. If you don't have a backup then backup your entire Home folder. Erase the drive and install Snow Leopard after which you can restore your Home folder from the backup.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
Or you can:
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
     computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
     screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.3 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.3 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Update (Combo).

I have a canon multifunction printer that used to work with snow leopard but since I updated to mountain lion it stoped working. How do I make it work again?

This problem is not unheard of when upgrading from Snow Leopard. It is usually solved by completely deleting the existing printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan, and adding it again.

Problems with Leopard Graphics 1.0 update!!!!

hi ppl..i've instal the Leopard Graphics 1.0 update... and i have problems with it!
my dock is very slow, the finder crashes...what do i do??
please some help!!

It is strange indeed. So many people have these same issues and yet not a single word from Apple. Something is really wrong with this Leopard Graphics Update 1.0
People are reporting all kinds of problems, but mostly we see these slow-downs... even typing does not respond as it should. There was a huge delay in between typing and characters appearing on the screen. Moving your windows on the desktop also gets jumpy and not smooth as it was before. Crazy things were happening while I had it installed.
So I reinstalled my Leopard completely (since you can't uninstall these updates like on Windows) and reinstalled it from the scratch. Did all updates except this Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 and all problems went away. Same situation on my work machine (new aluminum iMac, 20", 2 Gb RAM).
My advice is - do not download this update, simply ignore it and your machine will work perfectly fine. Until Apple addresses this issue I am staying away from it...

Entourage crashed after loading Snow Leopard 10.6.7 update

I installed the Snow Leopard 10.6.7 update yesterday and immediately Entourage would no longer function properly. None of the folders (inbox, sent, drafts, etc) are visible and the options at the top of the screen do not work. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

I had a similar problem and solved it.
Mac book (2010) 10.6.8, Printer: Xerox Phaser 8560.
It started when I did a printer driver update.
I'd print and then it would take 1-2 minutes just to get a print dialog box. -Frustrating.
My console had some strange msgs about printer not authenticating and job not responding.
So I deleted the printer, created it again using bonjour to find it, and changed the driver from the auto-selected driver(my printer model) to Generic PostScript.
Now speed is back to immediate and it is printing fine.
I suspect the manufacturer's driver is engaing something that is not compatible with the system.

Yes, provided your computer meets the system requirements and you have updated Snow Leopard to 10.6.8:
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.

I would also read this:
Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.
As an alternative to the above you can try using Lion DiskMaker 2.0 that automates the process.

Do I need to update my Leopard to Snow Leopard before I can update to LION?

Do I need to update my Leopard to Snow Leopard before I can update to LION?

Yes you do. You can get Snow Leopard at an Apple Store, or online: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
Snow Leopard retail disk will load Version 10.6.3, and you'll need to update it to 10.6.8 (this is just one update, you don't need to go to 10.6.4, 10.6.5, etc.). Go to  > Software Update to update.
Then you should have the Mac App Store, which is where you go to download the Lion installer.

Frequent problems with PPC mac's with OSX Leopard 10.5.8 updates.

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 noCPU power left.
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.
Sam

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.

Photoshop CS2 file corruption with Leopard 10.5.3 update

In addition to the network server corruption issue being experienced by everyone with CS3 and OS X 10.5.3, since Wednesday (and the 10.5.3 update) my CS2 version 9 Photoshop files are turned into corrupted, flattened Mexican rug files when I save to my own G5 pre-Intel hard drive. This is specifically happening when I save files to my hard drive and then shut down the computer minutes later. When I restart minutes later, the files saved just prior to shutdown are flattened and corrupted into a very colorful, horizontally banded Mexican rug. Which would be nice if I was designing Mexican rugs, but I'm not. Files saved during the day with no shutdown appear to be okay.
This has happened twice since Wednesday.
Please note that my Photoshop "save" is completed BEFORE I shut down, by several minutes.
Also, in both cases, an application was hanging and wouldn't force quit, which initiated my shutting down. First it was iTunes, then it was Mail. So I can't figure out if this is Photoshop, iTunes (it wouldn't force quit once), OS X, or a combination. But the only thing I can do is shut down the power.
Does anyone know if this is an Apple thing or an Adobe thing? I wonder if this is one of the "issues for which there is no resolution" that Adobe says can happen using CS2 on Leopard. Or part of the Leopard update. Or both cooperating together.
Anybody have any solutions to this, other than going back to 10.5.2 (or Tiger) ? I've been backing up multiple copies of files at different times of the day in different places. I don't know what else to do. Can't work much longer with corruption over my head. Leopard has been one long big headache.
I have 2.5 GB of RAM, 96 GB of free disk space, NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL.

The problem, as I see it, is; "which comes first - the chicken or the egg?" To explain, I am currently operating on an iMac G5, running OS X 10.3.9...... and I have Adobe Creative Suite 2 Preminum installed on my computer. Okay now my question..or rather questions (plural) are; #1 If I upgrade my operating system to OS X 10.4. (Tiger) is Adobe CS2 (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, etc) compatible with OS X 10.4?
* Okay let's supposed the answer to #1 is; "yes - it's compatible.....CS2 will run fine on OS X 10.4
#2 Next question - Will Adobe CS2 run (without any problems) if I were to upgrade to OS X 10.5 (Leopard)? I believe, from what I have been reading the answer to this is; "No, Adobe CS2 is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.5". Okay let's say that I would then have to plunk the bucks and upgrade to Adobe CS3. On to the next and final question........
#3 Okay if I were to upgrade my OS to OS X 10.5 what do I upgrade first??? The operating system (which is not compatible with Adobe CS2 or the Adobe CS3 suite (which is not compatible with my present OS (OS 10.3.9)??? I have found nothing at either Adobe or Apple web sites which addresses this specific issue. I guess it's just like people - when your systems and software become outdated, the **** with you.
Like I said; Which comes first - the chicken or the egg?
PS: from what I have read on this thread it appears that people really don't read what someone is saying.....you (LoobyDooby) were taking about CS2 and suddenly everyone else stated taking about CS3. It's like tech support........you ask about "apples" and they tell you that "oranges" are not in season.......huh???

Snow leopard 10.6.2 Update

Updated yesterday on my MBP 13", the brightness seems different. e.g. the level it is set on seems brighter/duller than before?
might just be me and my eyes going funny 0_o..

The same thing happened to me! My computer came with Snow Leopard (it's the 13" Macbook Pro) and after installing the upgrade from 10.6.1 to 10.6.2 I noticed that the brightness decreased dramatically. I don't think it has anything to do with gamma as I tried to adjust that and it didn't really make that big a difference. I have now increased the brightness but I still think there might be something wrong with my laptop because I don't know if the update could decrease the brightness levels as they were the default levels, I hadn't changed them... It would seem strange somehow... I did install the update when I didn't have the computer connected to a power source, could that have caused this? Could installing the update again help? Or could I uninstall it somehow? This is my first Mac so I'm rather clueless about everything...

Degraded VGA output following Snow Leopard 10.6 software updates

IN the last two weeks I have accepted all Snow Leopard updates. Since installing these updates, the VGA output to a Data Projector and a VGA monitor have degraded, lost colour resolution and gained a red filter effect. I have tested this failure on an updated 3 year old iBook, same problem, and on a 1 year old MacBook Pro - same problem and on my 2008 MacBook Pro. The common link is that all 3 machines have taken all updates issued up to Friday 16th April. But on my MacPro, I have not installed any updates in more than 6 weeks and the problem does not occur when the MacPro signal is sent to the same data projector used with the laptops. Further, a friend has tried their family IBook that has not had any recent 10.6 updates and it works without a problem. There appears to be a problem in recent updates that degrades the VGA signal. Has anyone else had a problem with a post update laptop on a Data Projector and get the same problem, but does not get this problem on a pre- update laptop. The updates were only released in the last 4 weeks.? Warren

Thank you to those of you who have provided support for this problem. I have spoken to the Apple Technical people who have read this thread and expressed concern that it was so repeatable. I think that's there way of saying it may be a software problem I think.
I promised to try one more test for them. Yesterday I received my brand new model MacBookPro 15" i7 processor running the 500Gig 7200 HDD(oh so very nice). This has come with the latest 10.6.3 etc. Took all the instal upgrades. Connected it to the same data projector that 3 of the 5 other machines we have tested, and the same problem exists.
Remember 3 of the 5 have been upgraded to 10.6.3. and the two that still work are running 10.6.2 or lower. There is clearly a software issue now, and I am hopeful the technician I spoke to yesterday is monitoring this thread and will pick up this message. I have a case number so I will call them (when I can find where I wrote it down) next week.
From your feedback folks this is consistent with what you have been seeing also. I also notice in another discussion forum on this site, there is a reported "screen" dimming when connected to a VGA screen. I suspect this is the same problem.
Apple - over to you, I think you have a bug in 10.6.3 (patch and full install)

On Leopard after running software update computer freezes during restart

Hi All,
I hope I am posting this in the right place. I have installed Leopard (brand new installation with formating the HD before install). It went lovely. Migrate all of my accounts and settings form my other HD. BTW that other HD was upgraded to Leopard they the upgrade feature of Leopard instal and had the same problem that I'm going to describe here. After installation was complete, I worked on my computer just fine for a few hours, restarted it a few time an it worked great. I've installed software updates (iTunes 7.5 QT7.3 etc...) at this point when my system requested a restart and I click "restart" button, the computer tried to restart and froze at the point when the screen went black but the tower never restarted. In fact after about a minute of system being frozen, all of the fans in the tower went blowing full force.
Now, here is the history. I've done the Leopard upgrade on my system HD a week before this happened and after downloading this software update had the same problem. Can not restart at all. The computer works fine for about 1 day and after that the system starts to slow down a lot.
I called Apple, they didn't know what that was. Went to Apple store, they check the hardware and... It's good. Was advised to reinstall the Leopard on "clean" HD with brand new installation rather then update. I did all this yesterday on my 2nd HD and as I've said above, it worked just fine until I've installed this update.
So, my question to you all. Did anyone else experienced this type of problem?
I'm still on hold wanting for Apple tech support to try and resolve this with them. I was just hoping that some of you may know this and may have a fix/advise for me.
Thank you in advance for your help

Same thing happened to me and I get the same error message. These are the programs that don't work

SQL Developer Not Connecting After Mac Snow Leopard 10.6.3 Update

I installed Oracle 10g on a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.2 as described in here . All worked fine until after updating Snow Leopard last night with to 10.6.3. First I started getting an Insecure Startup Item Disabled message which I solved with the reply to my message at the Apple forums here . That took care of the first issue but now when attempting to connect with SQL Developer, I receive several errors messages in the log most of which point to the source o.jdevimpl.db.adapter.DefaultContextWrapper with a message starting with "Failed to create naming Context for db connections at url: file:/Users... I assume this is some sort of Jave error perhaps related to the Snow Leopard upgrade. However, I have absolutely no clue how to deal with it. I'm a student taking my first database class so the install of Oracle pushed me to my system knowledge limits.
Any help would be appreciated!!

After some poking around on a several forums, I found a suggestion to reapply the OS X update by using the combo install package. That seemed to do the trick. I can now see and connect to my DB.
