Leopard and Mixed OS Issues

I have recently installed Leopard on two of our workstations. The first issue was not being able to access my Windows Workgroup so I could print to a Windows based RIP and printer. It is grayed out like there is no workgroup on the network but other older OS's can see it. Still have not resolved this. We could print from 10.4 with no problem so I am sure this is an Apple problem.
The second thing is saving files to our server. It is running Windows 2000 Server. I created a new folder on the server and when I went to another machine to open or print it said I did not have enough permissions to access. I had to copy the file to another server to be able to see it and print. The icon it places on the folder is either a red circle with a minus sign or what looks like a belt around the folder. This seems very strange. We never had issues such as this until Leopard. Well, we did have file name length issues with 10.4 but nothing like this. Again, I'm sure this is an Apple problem.
I swear I will never again jump on the new OS bandwagon so quickly again. Now I will write this 10,000 times to punish myself.

Any folder I create from the Leopard workstation on our PC file server is not accessible from other workstations. It says I do not have enough permissions to access. This is surely not normal as I never had this problem with any other OS install I have ever done. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to resolve this issue? Now I have to go to another workstation running an older OS and create my folders. While this is not a big deal it still needs to be addressed.

  • Leopard and its install issues

    Late last night I decided against my better judgement to install onto my main studio computer. I had a week of previous Leopard screw-ups on a dual 1.2 mirror G4 but finally managed to get a working Tiger back onto the G4 and a working Leopard on a different hard drive. On both drives I had to install my apps. I do not trust Leopard -yet. On my 17inch Intel, I had absolutely no problems. So after a month of so I decided to go ahead and install Leopard onto my main computer. I started up on the install DVD, ran permissions to repair any issues, I made a disk image of my hard drive, then did an Archive & Install and did check the box to keep my apps, networking, email etc. However, about 1/2 way thru the install, the install failed saying it was due to faulty media. Mind you I am extremely careful with all media. It suggested I try again, but it would not restart on the DVD so I tried one more time and the DVD mounted and I was able to install. But all my settings, all my apps were in a previous folder and I could find no way to move them over. I am now in the process of wiping the hard drive and rebuilding from the Disk Image. I bought a new Leopard disk and as soon as it is finished rebuilding I am "THINKING" of trying again. So the questions are this. What when wrong in the first place, why did it go wrong? Should I even think of trying to install Leopard again since this OS is obviously not ready for prime time, due to the many non-installer issues on the entire discussion site? The primary reason I was going to "go for it" was due to the enhanced speed it provided- yes it does do that! It is just the installation problems are such that make most users turn away. I am not a novice at this, I consult to other photographers, and I have been an Apple user since 1988 thru thick and thin. Right now Apple maybe making money hand over fist, but their Leopard OS installation is a hit or miss I'd rather miss completely

    Try this method: Boot the Leopard DVD into install mode then after setting language open Disk Utility and partition an external firewire drive. Assuming you would not mind having any type problem on that drive with the disc. Either install Leopard on that firewire partition or restart to Tiger, your choice.
    Any way once booted into either Leopard on the firewire drive or Tiger probably on your main computer then launch Disk Utility, load the Leopard DVD to the desktop. Use the restore function and drag the Leopard OSX portion of the DVD to "source" and the firewire partition as the destination. Should restore in 30 mins. Then once done you can boot into that Leopard partition to install Leopard on the G4 by passing the DVD problems. Make sure you use APM as your partition mapping, find that under options button before partition of the firewire drive. DO NOT use the restore function for the Leopard DVD while it is boot install mode.

  • Snow leopard and cd-r issues

    I have been trying to burn some songs from iTunes to a CD-R.  I have a large pkg of these that I had no issue with before but neither my iMac or my MBP are accepting these now.  I know the drive is fine and the info is not corrupted as I burned the info to a DVD+R fine.  According to Apple's documentation it will read/write to + and - R cd's and dvds.  The iMac wants to freeze up and the MPB spits it out like it tastes bad.

    I've had these cd's for awhile and there was never an issue before.  Now in the middle of the package - they are all bad?
    That's certainly possible.
    As a brody says, if you're experiencing problems on two different machines, the media is a likely cause. The CD-Rs which were working before may have come from a different batch, even from a different manufacturer. It all depends on how the package was put together. (And keep in mind that counterfeits are not exactly unknown.)
    You have to understand that there are a (relatively) small number of manufacturers who produce optical discs for the many brands displayed on the label. So "TDK" on the label doesn't really tell you all that much. If it works how you described -- basically, first half of the spindle all good, second half all bad -- you need to, (a) check the ATIP codes, and, (b) compare very closely the good and the bad CD-Rs for consistent differences, eg, the style and values of the batch numbers (if any) printed on the hub or inner ring.

  • Fresh install of Leopard and CS3 Install issues...

    I'm sorry to beat a dead horse, but I've done a bunch of searches and can't seem to get a definitive as to why CS3 won't run... specifically Illustrator and InDesign. Here's the backstory...
    I have a G5 Dual 2.0 (with 4mb ram). When running Tiger, CS3 works fine. I wanted to upgrade to Leopard, so I backed up my drive to an external drive. Did the complete nuke to install Leopard. Updated Leopard to the latest update, whilst fixing permission along the way. I did the install of CS3, and then the updates. Now, InDesign crashes on launch, and Illustrator will open... sometimes, but it will then crash when a new document is created, an existing file is double-clicked, etc.
    I have run the clean deinstall procedure and tried to install again... same results.
    Suggestions please! I want to use Leopard but at this rate I might not be able to.
    Thanks,
    Michael

    Hey thanx for the replies Buko and Neil. I went back through my notes and I did install in the correct order CS3 then CS4. So much going on it is a good thing that I made notes, too much multi-tasking. Anyway, I guess I should correct myself and say that I installed CS3 then CS4 with no problems. I began to launch the various apps and found that AE CS3 and SB CS3 were not recognized, the CS4 versions were okay. They both had the NO symbol (circle with diagonal line) and would give an error when I tried to launch. The error was something along the lines of "software is not supported by this architecture". At first I thought it may be something with the sound settings or perhaps some minor glitch with the OS because I did not receive any warnings during installation. I ran the OS updater until it said I was up to date then started working on the Adobe updates. I never got an update for the two apps in question so I did a manual update on AE CS3 only to get the warning that the updater could not find the app. This got me thinking about uninstalling everything so I popped in the CS3 install cd and took a look at "reinstall" feature which listed AE and SB as not currently installed. I ran the installer for each app and after a lot of disk swapping between CS3 and CS4 it worked. All is well again.
    Now some may ask why did I put myself through all of this torture? This is for a classroom environment and we are offering training on both versions of the Adobe software. This is still easier than reimaging all of the class machines each time the class changes. I am looking forward to playing around with Time Machine to see if and how I can implement it into my workflow.
    Neil, I figured that I would not be able to install Tiger but I was hoping. I have ghost images of previous builds that would make my life a lot easier if they would work. I actually got the image onto the new iMac but performance was flakey.
    Thanx again for the input. I hope that my experiences can help someone else. Any questions feel free to email me.

  • M1536DNF Duplex garbled mess, Lion, Snow Leopard and Win 7

    I've had my M1536DNF for about a year now, everything has been fine, great printer, no issues whatsoever until recently.
    I attempted to print some flight information, set it for 2 sided and thought nothing of it, went over to collect print job, the sides facing me are fine, the back side was almost entirely horizontal lines, some text did print top and bottom though. Exactly the same result on second attempt. As I was going away, I didn't have time to mess with it so I printed single sided and promptly forgot about it. This was with a Mac OSX Lion.
    Month or so later, my partner was trying to print a document from her Win 7 laptop, same issues, multiple attempts and nothing useful on the back side. Transferred the files to another Mac - Snow Leopard and still same issues.
    I've re-booted the printer, cleaned the printer, downloaded new drivers (which are not available for Lion yet so I don't know how this thing is working at all). Nothing seems to get it up and running again properly. Has something died on my printer or is this a software issue. I'm guessing hardware as the issue is 100% reproduceable from multiple machines, multiple operating systems.
    At no point have I seen an error from the printer or print utility.

    Scratch all of that. The issue is Chrome - the beta print panel seems to destroy the duplex side.
    Turn it off with these instructions.

  • Continuing font encoding and tag issues with snow leopard and CS4oI

    I am looking for help with a font handling issue with snow leopard and cs4 Indesign. Despite numerous calls and hours on the phone neither Apple nor Adobe has been helpful. I have had this issue open with Adobe since oct 5 but they remain totally unresponsive to date. I need to be able to use Type 1 fonts and do the following , export a pdf from Indesign with the following attributes: 1) xml tags for stories and objects. 2) have the fonts encoded as ansi and embedded.
    Some additional information  - exporting to ps is not an option as it destroys the xml tags. and doesn't guarantee that the fonts won't become CID or some other odd encoding.
    As it stands now,
    Leopard (10.5.8) and CS3 creates ansi encoded fonts with xml tags.
    Leopard (10.5.8) and CS4 creates ansi encoded fonts with xml tags.
    Snow leopard and CS3 creates ansi encoded fonts and xml tags
    Snow leopard and CS4 creates custom subsetted fonts and some xml tags.
    If any one has any advice on how to force specific font encodings from CS4 pdf exports so that i can preserve the tags and get the correct fonts I would be grateful.

    The font encoding is not a function of the OS version, but rather of how a font is internally encoded and the content you are representing with the font.
    If you are seeing a difference between MacOS 10.5 and 10.6 with the same Adobe software, it probably has something to do with use of a system font that is somehow different from one version of the OS to another. InDesign does not use any of the OS' font handling software.
    Assuming that the fonts are embedded, subset or not, what is your issue with whether a font is ANSI-encoded, custom-encoded, or CID-encoded? It should make no difference for purposes of workflow beyond InDesign for software that adheres to the PDF specification (including all versions of PDF from 1.3 and up to 1.7 plus ISO 32000-1 PDF and all versions of PDF/X and PDF/A).
    Neither InDesign or any other Adobe application provides user choices for the encoding since it shouldn't make a difference. The encodings chosen by Adobe's core technology components are for a combination of optimization and to support proper text search, copy, etc.

  • Snow Leopard and Exchange 2007 Configuration Issues

    I know this topic may have been covered in here previously but I have yet to find a solution.
    Here is the background. Our CEO has a Mac Book and two weekends ago he updated to Snow Leopard and now wants to use the Mail client on his Mac rather than OWA to get his email. We have Exchange 2007 (I am the Admin) and have all the latest patches and Roll Ups installed. We run OWA without issue and have 10 iPhones working perfectly (i realized they use different technology to sync). I enabled EWS by following this link http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb201695.aspx and this is the actual command i used:
    Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -identity exchaname\EWS* -externalurl https://webmail.domain.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx -BasicAuthentication:$True
    Seems to have run properly and there are no errors reported.
    Now when I go to connect using the Mac it does not Auto Discover and I must enter manually. I enter what i think it needed and its not working. On the Account Information Tab I have the following:
    Description: generic name
    Email Address: [email protected]
    Full Name: The Person's Name
    Internal Server: webmail.domain.com *Not sure what should be here
    External Server: Webmail.domain.com *Again not sure if this is correct
    Username: AD user name Also tried domain\username
    Password: AD password
    Ougoing Mail Server: not sure what should be here
    Next is the Mailbox behavior Tab:
    Did not change anything
    Advanced Tab:
    Internal Server Path: EWS/Exchange.asmx
    Port:80 SSL unchecked
    External Server: EWS/Exchange.asmx
    Port: 80 SSL unchecked
    I get no connections and I am sure somehting is not correct in the above but I am lost and new to Exchange as it is. Also new to Mac's
    Help Please

    We are already using webmail.domain.com for our OWA URL, well actually it is webmail.domain.com\OWA. Would I need one for the EWS & Autodiscover to use webmail.domian.com\ews?
    We have rules in the firewall for Exchange and OWA. Would we need another for this?

  • Leopard and External Hard Drive Issues

    I have a 1.5TB Maxtor One Touch which was working with Leopard and Time Machine. It is set up as RAID 750 GB. I have backups from TM as well as some video on the Maxtor. Recently it decided to stop working on the iMac as well as a 12" G4 Powerbook. At first I thought it was a problem with the Maxtor but am now wondering if it could be a problem with Leopard/Maxtor...?
    I can get the drive to show in disk utility but no volume and no icon on the desktop. Does anyone have any ideas??

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.

  • Latest Leopard and LR 1.3.1 back-up issue. Thoughts please.

    Hi All,
    Running the latest Leopard and LR 1.3.1.
    Transition to 1.3.1 went smoothly (or so it seams) But backing-up seems to be an issue.
    Upon opening LR and trying to back-up, I get a dialog box that states "Lightroom is unable to back-up catalog, do you wish to continue?". If I continue, it does open up fine and appears to be fully operational. I have tried the 'Optimizing Library', but still behaves the same.
    FYI, this on a new MacBook Pro Intel machine, and the file was originally created on a Power PC G4 machine. If that should make a difference, not sure.
    Thanks in advance, for any suggestions.
    Sol

    Try the following with Lightroom off, select the folder enclosing your catalog file, hit apple-I, disclose the sharing/permissions tab, hit the little padlock right bottom, make sure the permissions for your account are set to read&write. Then click on the little popup on the bottom (might look grey but it is still active) that has a little gear and a triangle and do "apply to enclosed items". On Tiger it is just a click box I think but it works the same. Now run Lightroom and see if this solves the problem

  • Snow Leopard and NAS QNAP TS-459 possible permission issues?

    I am running an art department and we have been using a NAS box as our server which has worked out well for us prior to installing Snow Leopard and our 2 new imacs.
    Since installing we have run into the following issues:
    1. If a user has recently worked on a file, saved, etc., that user or another user cannot move or rename the parent folder into another location on the server. The contents of the folder can be moved or altered, but not the parent folder (with all its contents)
    2. If the file has been left for several hours, or the user has shut down the folder(parent file) can be moved.
    3. sometimes however, we cannot rename a folder regardless of who or when it was created... we will get an error message similar to the following: You don’t have permission to rename the item “xxx”.
    4. The renaming/moving issues are also sporadic, there seems to be a bigger problem when the server(NAS) is under a lot of use.
    We have had to copy the files to our desktops, throw out the file on the server and then refile in its new destination.
    Can you shed some light

    The account that's is not working is the MAIN account created with Lion, after upgrading from the AWESOME Snow Leopard...
    So I need to understand one thing, I need to do a backup, then I open the new admin account (not main) I created and migrate everything over there??? And then delete the old main account?
    Note: The new admin account I created seems to work without issues, I just started few of the programs that were not working (in the main account) and they start without error messages.

  • I tried copying a photo and pasting it in another event/group within iPhoto but the paste feature doesn't work.  This wasn't an issue with both Leopard and Snow Leopard.  Do you have any solutions or tips?

    I bought a new MacBook Pro with OsX Lion as operating system.  I use iPhoto a lot and when I tried copying a photo then pasting it to another event/group, the 'paste' feature doesn't work.  This wasn't the case with Leopard and Snow Leopard where the 'paste' feature worked.  What I did was to paste the photo first to the desktop before transferring it to the new event/group.  I brought my Mac to the Apple store where I bought it and the technicians were themselves surprised that the 'paste' feature didn't work.  Chalked it up to glitches in the Lion os.  So how do we fix this?  I just find it absurd that a feature that used to work in Snow Leopard has been disabled in Lion, and the user still has to undergo an additional step to make it work, when new technology is supposed to make things easier for users. 
    Also, hasn't anyone noticed that it takes longer for the computer to boot upon opening? 

    Instead of copy and paste drag the photo to the new event. Or flag it and use the add flagged photos to selected event command

  • External HDD Issues with Snow Leopard and Time Machine

    Hello,
    I have a 1TB WD 10EADS External HDD, and it had some files on it. I connected it the other day to an iMac I recently upgraded to 10.6, and wanted to do a complete time machine backup of the computer to it (250GB HDD). I copied the files off the external HDD I needed and then Time Machine needed to format it as it was a FAT32 drive. This went successfully, and I started the Time Machine backup. This went quite slowly and failed after ~2.5GB or so. I restarted and tried again to no avail upon which Time Machine told me I should reformat it in Disk Utility. So I did, and to no avail.
    I tried this a number of times and sometimes when doing a reformat I was told that the drive could not be unmounted. I tried manually copying files to the disk which started to work but then failed promptly with error (-36) and the message "The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in “ [Program/File Name]” can't be read or written." I upgraded to 10.6.1 also to no avail. I even repaired permissions and the disk, and booted Disk Utility from the Snow Leopard disc and formatted that to no avail.
    I have read this is an I/O error and can be associated with bad drives, but as I stated before, the drive worked perfectly until Time Machine formatted it. I took the HDD to another Mac running 10.6, and it told me it had a POSIX error. I did some googling and found that if I format it under a Windows machine, and then reformat under the mac it might work.
    What I want to know is, is this a 10.6 error or has the HDD decided to go kaput after Time Machine formatting it?
    Thanks for your help

    Time Machine backup failed. I think it's a glitch with the computer, not the HDD. Going to zero out the drive now.
    Any other suggestions on how I might bypass this error to get data onto the Disk eg. transfer over to another computer, so I can reformat the computer and install Snow Leopard from scratch? The whole purpose of doing this time Machine backup was to get all the files off the computer to perform a clean install of Snow Leopard.
    I assume you're positive the TM disk has both the correct *Partition Map Scheme* (GUID) and Format (Mac OS Extended (journaled), but not case-sensitive)? One of them being wrong is the most common cause of a first TM backup failing.
    Did you do either a +*Verify Disk+* (not permissions) or a +*Repair Disk+* (not permissions) on your internal HD, or only your TM drive? The message you got could be a result of a problem on either one.
    Other options are to make a "bootable clone" via CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper. CCC is donationware, SD has a free version that will do it. If you do that, boot from it, and be sure everything works before erasing your internal HD. Google them.
    Note that there are many, many reports of problems here with WD drives, and that some of them are not bootable.
    I would not upgrade without backups (Murphy was an optimist!), but is there a reason you want to erase your HD? It's not required, and rarely does any good. The normal install will simply install Snow Leopard and remove Leopard. Your apps, data, etc., won't be touched.

  • Any known compatibility issues with snow leopard and cs3 creative suite

    have leopard and want to upgrade to snow leopard..but am worried about any conflicts with photoshop cs3 and  fireworks cs3?  Does anyone use this version and have problems?

    The extracts below are from http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    I couldn't see any mention of a CS3 version of Fireworks.
    Anecdotal information is variable; some seem to have no problems, others found CS3 unusable, so it's difficult to be categorical for you. Certainly Adobe only consider CS4 and above to be fully compatible.

    Hi!!
    I just received my first Macbook yesterday and have been having the exact same problem as you with internet connection. This morning I browsed Apple´s support website and found an article that addresses wireless connection and I really think it may help. I haven´t tried it yet because I don´t have my MBP here with me but it´s so simple I believe you should give it a try!
    Below is a copy of the article that I found
    : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2098
    If that one specifically doesn´t help, there are other helpful articles in this page: http://www.apple.com/support/airport/
    I really hope that helps, I know how frustrating it is not being able to stay connected! Best regards,

    AirPort Express: Difficulty joining third-party network that is using WEP
    Last Modified: October 21, 2008
    Article: TS2098
    Old Article: 300153
    Symptoms
    Joining the network of some third-party wireless access points requires a little special treatment when the network is protected by Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), an older wireless security protocol.
    Products Affected
    AirPort Express Base Station
    Resolution
    First be sure that the third-party access point is not restricting clients based on MAC addresses (sometimes called an access control list), and be sure that the base station has the latest version of firmware that's available from the manufacturer's website.
    Next, beware that WEP passwords can take either a plain language or hexadecimal form, as described in joining an encrypted wireless network. You might be able to avoid password issues entirely by changing the password of the WEP-protected network to a better format.
    Using that information, you should try connecting an AirPort-enabled computer to the WEP network to verify what will be required. If you have to enter a hexadecimal value to get the computer on the network, the same will be true for AirPort Express.
    Confirm that you are running Mac OS X 10.4 or later or you have the AirPort 4.0.1 update installed. Open AirPort Utility, and go through the steps to set up AirPort Express to join your existing network. When you get to the page where you select the wireless network the AirPort Express is to join, you will see two password entry fields. If a hexadecimal password was required to get your AirPort-enabled computer on the network, use the same hex code here, but add a "$" in front of it.
    So if your hex value is "6170706c65", you would enter "$6170706c65".
    Finish the steps in the Assistant. Once the AirPort Express has had a minute or so to restart, it should join the network and once it finishes rebooting (allow up to a minute) it should join the existing wireless network, as indicated by its status light.
