Leopard 5 user lincence with new iMac?

I am getting ready to buy a new iMac, and I assume the OS disk that comes with it can not be installed on more than one computer. I also have a MBP that came shipped with Tiger, and would like to have the same OS on both of them.
Can the OS disk that comes shipped with a new iMac be used to update a second computer?
If not, does Mac give the option of upgrading to have the 5 user license shipped with a new computer?
If neither of these are an option, is there a less expensive upgrade I can use on my MBP instead of buying the full $129 OS?
Thanks for any info.

    please help me out in this matter.

    How did you change your user name?
    resetpassword wouldn't have done it. If you managed to create a new user, then your data is still in the old account.

    I've tried removing Office 2011 completely and re-installing to no avail.

    Unfortunately, my experience with Office is that somethoping will get corrupted in your account that prevents it from running. I have never figured out  what exactly needs to be removed to make it work again.

  • Using new trackpad with new iMac

    Using new trackpad with new iMac, but can't seem to get the "touch function" to work. I still have to press firmly and click on the trackpad to get response. The videos show "touch" while I  "firm press and click."  Checked speed, cleaned it, and reset. No luck?? Ideas? Even took back to Best Buy and seemed to work with their display...

    Assuming you are talking about tap to click, you would need to enable it. It is disabled by default. Go to settings and choose trackpad settings. Navigate to "Point and Click" tab and enable "Tap to Click".

  • Synching iPhone and iPad with new iMac - former pc user

    I'm trying to determine to most efficient way to set up iTunes and synching of my iPhone 4 and iPad on my new iMac. I am finally moving away from using a pc and am facing the issue of trying to preserve all the content on my devices as I set up the iMac. I'm ditching the old oc iTunes library. The iMac will br the primary (and only) iTunes library going forward.
    I realize I'll need to manually transfer mp3 files from the pc to the iMac (those ripped from CDs and not purchased on iTunes) and re-establish the library. But how do I avoid losing all the aps and music I purchased on my old pc as I set up the iMac iTunes?
    I'm also interested in saving the contacts I've built on my iPhone - using that as the basis for my iMac contacts.
    I have no intention of using the pc again -- fully realize you cannot synch to two iTunes libraries.
    Any suggestions on how to begin to minimize hassle and minimize any file loss is much appreciated!

    Should try by copying the itunes folder from your pc to your iMac. That should work.

  • Using iGlobe speakers with newer iMac

    I am so happy with may new iMac, but I thind maybe the speakers that came with my old iGlobe 700 Mhz were better than the internal ones in the nex one. However they have some strange plug that doesn't fit with the contact for earphones. Does anybody know if there is some connector out there that I can use?

    Hello, 
    The reason it has a proprietary connector is that it was a very high powered port and it a user inadvertently connected another set of standard speakers they would almost certainly be damaged.
    I've seen Pro Speakers on ebay where someone has cut off the proprietary connector and attached a standard 3.5mm jack. This works but the speakers are then very very quiet. The only real solution is either a new pair of speakers or there was an adaptor made by Griffin called the iFire:
    http://www.welovemacs.com/ifire.html
    However it's no longer made and it's second-hand value is pretty high.
    I too was fairly disappointed with the sound of the new Aluminium iMac compared to the iMac G4 with Pro Speakers although actually I've been living with it for eight months now. I did look at the LaCie Firewire speakers because they don't need a separate power supply but haven't been sure enough to spend my money yet!

  • Severe issues with new iMac. Do I need firmware update?

    I purchased a new iMac at the end of September 2007. It still had Tiger on it and ran fine. I upgraded to Leopard at it's release and have had some problems ever since BUT THEY ARE GETTING WORSE.
    I did a complete erase and install this past weekend but problems remain. I have to do a force shutdown with the power button sometimes and then things run slowly. I use Disk Warrior and rebuild the drive and also repair permissions and things seem to run fine for awhile. THEN the problems start again.
    I know there is to be a Leopard update soon. Should I wait and see if that solves the issues? I also know there was a firmware update for the new iMac in the fall. When I did my erase and re-install this past weekend, I didn't do that update UNLESS it's already in the 10.5.1 update. Should I do it now?
    I also recently got a LaCie 250 gig firewire hard drive. Sometimes it does not mount; but I've ran Disk Warrior and repaired permission on it also and no errors are reported. (I also have a 60 gb FireLite. It did not mount once; but mostly it's the LaCie that fails to mount ... but not always. 75% of the time it mounts fine.)
    I just don't know what the problem is. I am very frustrated. I have NEVER had trouble like this with a Mac in all the years I've had one. I know one things for sure. I will NEVER again buy a new machine or operating system until they've been out at least six months
    Any knowledgeable suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks so much.

    My problems are: 1)Sometimies when I try to restart the computer, I get either a spinning beach ball or a blue screen and nothing else. OR sometimes it does re-start but keeps the other spinning circular thingie going. In either case, I have to push the power button for a few secons causing it to shut down hard. On the other hand, sometimes it behaves normally.
    Other problems include slowness, such as finder windows opening very slowly or files showing up in finder windows very slowly.
    I don't notice that this happens with any particular program. It seems sporadic. Sometimes the computer runs fine and then all of a sudden, the issues reappear.
    I have used Disk Utility, Disk Warrior, repaired permission, etc. All the programs report that the discs are fine (the internal disc, the LaCie drive and the FireLite drive.) I did a complete erase and re-install. I have not used a hardware test disc. (I suppose there is one with the original restore discs; but I am using Leopard now so I'm not sure how that works. That was Tiger.)
    I have suspected a lot of things. I stopped iDisk automatic mounting & syncing. I stopped syncing altogther. I've turned off Spaces and Time Machine. I don't let any programs load automatically except the bare minimum. I'm just very frustrated.
    I did hear there was a firmware update in early November but 10.5.1 was released after that; and I have done all the software updates so I don't know if I need to do the firmware update. (This machine is one of the new thin aluminum iMacs introduced in August. I got mine in September.)

  • Will Apple discount Leopard if I buy a new iMac today??

    I think with the delay of Leopard, Apple should offer some incentive for people to get off the fence that want to buy an iMac. We know that the release date for Leopard will be sometime in October. So, why would I buy an iMac today, then spend the $125-$200 price to upgrade?
    Anybody have any idea how this will work? Apple store telling me I'd have to pay full price, which I think is BS.

    I'm in the same boat as you, just ready to buy a new iMac but pondering waiting for Leopard. In one of these forums somewhere, though, earlier this week I read a post that made a lot of sense to me. I really don't want to have Leopard ".0" version. Historically, the first major releases have had quite a few glitches and gotchas, and who knows how third-party software compatibility will be at first.
    I think I'd be much happier running the now very mature 10.4.10 for a while and let braver souls work with the initial Leopard releases. So my plan is now to go ahead and buy a 24" iMac, perhaps as early as today. And then, when I need to, I'll upgrade to Leopard once it's mature. I just want to use the apps, not experiment with them.
    Good luck with your decision.

  • Migration Assistant Problems with new iMac

    I just bought a new iMac. Used firewire to connect to old iMac running 10.5.8. Followed instructions to reboot old iMac holding down the "T". Receiving this error on new iMac: "There are no versions of Mac OSX available on your old mac. You can only transfer information from a mac that has OSX installed." This is obviously not correct. How can I get my new iMac to recognize the old iMac and transfer the data? Thanks

    I actually chose option 1 as I was migrating from another mac. I'll try option 2. Another question: Does the fact that I'm migrating from an older G3 (circa 2003) affect the migration?
    it could. it should still work though. such migration works ok for most people but but you may have compatibility problems afterward due to differences in architecture and OS versions (what do you have on the G3? 10.3?). I would suggest you choose to migrate your user data only. don't migrate applications. many won't work in snow leopard and can lead to conflicts. also, see this link on potential issues you may face
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=435350&tstart=0
    that link suggest doing manual migration.
    I would still try using migration assistant first. if that gives you problems you can always do wipe and install and migrate manually.

  • 1st Generation iPod (5GB) not working with new iMac

    Hi,
    i have the Problem, that my 1st generation iPod is not detected by my new imac (20'' 2,4 Ghz). When i plug in the firewire cable, nothing happens. DiscUtility sees no disc at all.
    But when i plug in the iPod "behind" another Firewire disc (acting as a fw-hub), the iPod ist detected within a second, and everything works fine.
    I just wanted to know if someone else is having this Problem, or if someone else has a working iPod 1.Gen on the new iMac.
    Thanks
    Joerg

    Hi JvdL,
    I am one with a 1st gen iPod (Windows, 10GB).
    But I have no problems with it and I also don't have a last gen. iMac.
    However, in the iPod Forum http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=151 and in the iTunes Forum http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=149&start=0#threads there are quite some threads with similar problems.
    Sorry

  • IPod no longer works with Older iMac (works with new iMac)

    Hi all:
    First off sorry about the cross post but I got no response to this question in the other forum. Hoping for help from this group. Thanks!!!!
    I have an iMac Duo (20" 2.0Ghz) running 10.4.8 and iTunes 7.0.1 which recognizes my 5g (and my wife's 4g) no problem. However when I attach either of them to my G3 (G3 500 MHz) running 10.2.8 (iTunes 6.0.5) they are not recognized.
    I believe that the 5G won't work because the G3 does not have USB 2. However, I do not understand why the 4G does not work.
    The 4G worked with the G3 for about 2 years. I have not tried to attach it to the G3 since we bought new computers (iMac for me, MacBook Pro for her) until today. I wanted to use it to transfer some files from the G3 to the new iMac.
    I have tried forcing the 4G into disk mode and connecting it to the G3 but that did not help (I tried this with the 5G also).
    I am using a USB cable with the 5G and a firewire cable with the 4G.
    According to software update all of the computers are 100% current.
    Thanks for any and all help!
    Gary

    I'm no geek but I can say that my 5G video iPod works just fine with my B&W G3 (450Mhz processor), which I am pretty sure only has USB 1. My G3 is running iTunes 7 and OS 10.4.5. Updating may solve your problem.

  • Problems with new iMac and Adobe Creative Suite 2

    Just wondering if anyone can help me out. I am a Graphic Design student and just bought Adobe Creative Suite2. I installed it on my new iMac, and it wouldn't open InDesign or Photoshop although I had no problems with Acrobat and Illustrator. A pop-up window stated that the program "unexpectedly quit". I have uninstalled and reinstalled three times and was on hold with Adobe Tech Support for three hours until I finally gave up. If anyone knows what's going on I would appreciate it!

    I dragged the installer from the install disk to my desktop and was more successful in installing problem CS2 apps. Make sure to update everything as well. Some times it takes a restart to get the finickiness out of PS.

  • Logitech Pro 4000 not working with new Imac 24"

    Just migrated from a G4 to the new Imac 24"
    Cannot get the Logitech Pro 4000 to work with new mac.
    Contacted Logitech and they said
    "please note that the QuickCam Pro 4000 currently only supports up to Mac OS X 10.2.6"
    However,the cam DID work ,even under 10.4.8 with the old G4...
    Any ideas people..
    Thanks!

    Your nwe iMac is Intel based, which is why the old driver failed/ You could try the driver from IOXperts. They do not mention Intel support, but they do list your camera, and have a free trial.
