Leopard 10.5.6 won't install, help please

I have a Powermac G5 1.8 ghz dual processor running OSX 10.4.11. In light of the fact Snow Leopard won't run on Powermac g% I decided to purchase one of the few remaining OSX Leopard 10.5.6 Family Packs off Amazon.co.uk.
When I insert the Leopard install disc after a few moments of reading the install DVD the screen prompts you to restart your system with the disc still installed. On boot up all I seem to get is a white screen with the Apple logo, with no further progression possible beyond this point. (It is as though the system is struggling to read the DVD).
Please can anyone offer any suggestions or do I need a product return due to a faulty disc.

How long are you letting it sit in that state? A few minutes? An hour or more?

I'd try giving my optical drive's lens a cleaning first.

Hey martinzg!
I have a couple of suggestions for you regarding this issue. First, here is an article about resuming your interrupted downloads from the Mac App Store:

If you are still unable to get the games to download after attempting to resume the interrupted download, you may need to report an issue with your purchases:

ITunes won't install. PLEASE. HELP. URGENT.

iTunes won't install. My PC got reformatted. Now, I can't install iTunes. I've been trying to install it for like 3 months now, then it still won't. I've tried to remove it completely, following the guidelines Apple has given. AND ALMOST EVERYTHING.
Then the other day, I was really really happy that I got it installed, I removed AVG Anti-virus from the PC and turned off ThreatFire. I thought that was the end of my problem, then yesterday, when I opened iTunes it won't work again! So I tried to re-install it, following every guideline. Still, it won't install! In the installing process, around "Registering iTunes automation server", I ALWAYS get the message "Some of its required files are missing. Please re-install."
I REALLY DO NEED YOUR HELP.

Describe what happens when you try to open iTunes - do you see anything? If there is an error message give it in full.
If there is no error message open the task manager (ctrl alt del) and look on the processes tab, do you see iTunes.exe there and does it stay there.
Try opening Quicktime - does that work normally, iTunes cannot work if QUicktime doesn't. If it doesn't work, describe what happens and give any error message.

Hi,
I have had the exact same problem. My girlfirend got me a nano for Xmas. I have finally got it working tonight.
I can't take credit for this as some other clever sausage suggested it on here. I'm looking for his entry so I can thank him as it has worked for me. Have a look at the following link from Microsoft.com:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060
I would check that the symptoms it describes are applicable to your computer.
I have had amajor stress but wanted to pass it on as I know how frustrating it is. After 4 weeks I have finally got it working.
I hope it works for you too.
Chris.

Okay ... so it's not one of the cases of bodged up ACLs on the Apple folder in Common Files. (That's been underlying a few of the recalcitrant E7W5s.

Clean install help please.

I am in the middle of giving my macbook a clean install and the second install disc has stopped working 9 min's from completion and ejected out. I have tried to install again, Clean the disc and still same problem. Is there a way of reversing this clean install or do i have to wait until i get a new second disc to continue with the process.
Any help would be greatly accepted thanks.

Hi macboy,
you can re-do clean install but opt out most of the application like iMovie, iDVD, iWeb, and iPhoto.
try to opt out one by one, if it will said that you will need second disk during installation ,then opt out couple more, or install the essential system first (all in disk #1) and after that, insert disk 1 again and choose install software bundled only, and install the application one at a time.
Then if you come accroes the application that won't installed , just cancel and re-install that using your nes second disk.
Good Luck.

Install Help PLEASE :-)

Help!~ My windows 8 refresh deleted my adobe, and now it won't install - I get error 1935

If by "adobe" you mean "Adobe Reader", you can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

Where does the App store download files to?
I am having loads of problems with App store on my iMac running 10.6.7, my MacBook is fine and working as it should, but my iMac is a total disaster. It started with Update buttons appearing on the Purchases tab, which you cannot update because of the "log into the account" error and I tried all the methods outlined on the forum, none of which worked. I ended up trashing the offending apps and re-installing them. My only problem now is Garageband. It has gone. Every time I open the App store it asks me to install it, which I do, waiting 5 minutes sometimes whilst it downloads. Then nothing, it just won't install. Is there any files I should delete from the old install? It has me stumped. Any ideas?

Try a Spotlight search for Garageband. If it appears under Applications double click on it to start it, close the intro page, then on the top menu click on Garageband and then About and see what version it is.
The download you get when you are notified of a software update is a delta update as it only includes what is needed to move you from 10.6.6 to 10.6.7. The combo update contains all of the updates since the start, hence it can move you from 10.6.0 to 10.6.7, or anything in between. It is also why it is much larger than a delta update file. To my knowledge it does not contain any new updates for Garageband or anything else. It is always a good thing to try if you have problems after an OS update and some people will only manually install the combo update.
You might also want to try booting from your OS X disk and repairing permissions on your disk (there are also many different opinions on this, but it won't hurt anything).
Let us know how you get on.

IPod Nano 6th gen won't sync - help please!

I lost my iTunes and all my music when my laptop died, but managed somehow to get it all back onto my new laptop - none of my music is purchased though iTunes but downloaded separately or from CDs. However when I sync my iPod it doesn't actually change anything or add new songs from my iTunes, and playlists on my iPod do not appear in my iTunes. Help please! I've tried manually managing my music and syncing but that doesn't work either, and when I plugging it into my computer it says on the iPod screen that its syncing but it doesn't show that it is in iTunes.

Depending on how you add content to your iPod, have you seen this article?

Snow Leopard Installation Disk Ejects - won't install

A brand new Snow Leopard Installation disk would not be read in a MacBook Pro 15" so I just thought I'd share my solution.
This installation disk was readable on every Mac that I tried except the one that I wanted to install Snow Leopard onto, which, by the way, could read other CDs and DVDs.
I ran TechTool just to eliminate any problem it may be able to handle.
The solution was to clean the DVD with a little dish soap and water and to blot it dry with a lint-free cloth. Once I was sure that the disk was totally dry I attempted the installation again and it worked.

Hans, will that Pioneer cause problems with this Tiger app? One comment I read on one forum said that non-Apple disk drives have to be disabled to run Tiger, so I wonder if that would solve this problem. I appreciate all the time you've given me to help solve this problem. Like most projects, a lot more is involved that appears at first.

XP Home OEM won't install - help!

I created the partition OK, then put in the Windows disk (XP Home OEM, newly purchased, with all stickers and security holograms etc).
It goes to a DOS-like screen, says it is loading lots of drivers, then says it is starting Windows.
The next screen looks a bit like the top part of the first illustration in the Boot Camp guide, but with three options; 'Return' to install Windows, 'R' to repair, and 'F3' to exit without installing.
I press return, then nothing happens for a minute or two, then the disk spins down to silence, and then there is no response to pressing any of the three options.
In the end I had to power down, and reboot back to MacOS.
Am I getting something wrong? Is there a problem with using OEM XP disks?
What have other people done to make them load correctly?

I tried erasing and recreating the partition, but got the same result when I tried to install XP.
It's almost as if the computer is not getting 'hearing' anything from the (wired) USB keyboard (which is plugged directly into the computer).
I'm really getting very depressed about all this. Disappointment seems to be the name of the game with this new Mac Mini. I have already had to replace most of my peripherals due to lack of drivers/incompatibility, and it still won't 'see' my mini-dv camcorder.
Being able to boot into Windows was one of the ways I justified this purchase.
Please, can anyone suggest something else I can try?

Snow Leopard and aftermarket HDD (won't install on WD3200)

I figured this out last night and thought I would post a word of caution. I have a Macbook with a WDC WD3200BEVT HDD. I had originally cloned my stock HDD to it and therefore never needed to go through a real install routine. When I tried installing SL last night, I got the restart and, when it asked me where to install SL, the option screen was blank! I checked disk utilities and only saw the DVD drive; the HD wasn't showing up at all. Called Apple support who tried a number of different things (check SMART status; GUID formatted; etc) to no avail until I remembered that this was not the 'stock' HDD. I then put it into a firewire enclosure and ran the install which was successful. The HDD is back in place and all is working well.
A word of caution, the install took one hour (over FW400) and the computer was unresponsive for at least 20 minutes of that (blank screen, no light on front, little to no HDD activity). I almost turned it off 2-3 times but gave it time in the end which was the right thing to do. Just wanted this info out there for anyone else with an upgraded HDD. I can confirm others with this same drive are having the same issues (via macrumors).

Again, you need to install the Lion Server Admin tools when you are using Lion or Lion Server as your platform, and these tools can administer Lion Server as well as recent Snow Leopard Server configurations.
If you want to use Screen Sharing (or if you're using older SL or Leopard or earlier), then that too is an option.
Or run a VM and guests with the tool version(s) required.
Mac OS X Server Admin Tools 10.7.3 (DL1488)
This cross-version compatibility is (was?) documented by Apple, but I don't immediately see that detail in the current release notes. I am using these tools to manage a mix of 10.7.2, 10.7.3 and 10.6.8 servers from Lion client boxes.

Flash won't install - HELP!!

Hi All,
I'm running Windows Vista and had some trouble the other day
with Adobe Flash - so I disabled it in the add-on tab. Then I
rebooted and reinstalled it. Supposedly, it reinstalled
successfully and was now listed as enabled in the add-on tab.
Except it really isn't installed. For some reason, no flash works
in IE. I'm not having the same trouble in Firefox. I ran the
Registry corrector from Microsoft but no luck there either.
Any help you could give would be greatlly appreciated. Thank
you in advance.
Best regards,
Mara

Hi Spring,
It is possible the flash player plugin/activeX is not
enabled. This is a method stated in an earlier post.
Go to Tools -> Manage Add-ons -> Enable or Disable
Add-ons...
In the Show drop down box, select "Add-ons that run without
permissions" or "Add-ons currently loaded in Internet Explorer."
Check to see if there is a "Shockwave ActiveX Control" or
"Shockwave Flash Object" by Adobe Systems Incorporated. If there
is, check both of them to see if they are enabled. Check
http://www.2advanced.com and
see if it's working. Post back to let us know if that worked.
