Leopard and processor/NAP/CHUD settings/m-audio 410
I've got a G5 DP with the infamous white noise problem coming through my speakers that was only fixed after downloading the chud tools and disabling the NAP settings - does anyone know if I'll have the same issues if I install Leopard? Want to upgrade but don't want to waste my money if the noise comes back and I can't get it to work. Also, I'm using an m-audio firewire 410 that doesn't have drivers yet; has anyone used the Tiger drivers with success on Leopard? Hoping that Leopard will fix intermittent problems; system locking up, etc., that have plauged me for years...
Thanks!
This sounds perfect. I'm on a pretty chirpy G5! However, this going to sound really silly but where can I find the pref pane you mentioned. I've looked for the path you gave and I don't have a /developer directory. I've looked on my Leopard install disk and I can't see it there either. I then looked in the optional installs on the Leopard disk for something that might make sense...but sorry nothing looked right. I've also used spotlight to search for lots of things like 'developer' and 'Processor.prePane' but no luck.
Any help would be great - sorry to be such a noob!
Cheers,
James

Mail, Snow Leopard and iCloud mail server settings
If I use the iCloud suggested settings as per:
ENTERING iCLOUD MAIL SERVER SETTINGS IN SNOW LEOPARD
as per Roger Wilmut's suggestions - http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html,
will all my other incoming and outgoing mail accounts still work as usual?
ThanksWhatever you enter in your settings for your iCloud mail account, they will not affect any other mail account you have set up in your mail application.

I have an OS X 10.6.6 MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard) and i am trying to format my whole hard drive (back to factory settings) from the original CD.
Can someone please give instructions?Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
To restore the MacBook Pro to factory settings:
1. Make a backup of your files because everything will be erased.
2. Insert the Snow Leopard disc and press the C key while your Mac is starting to start from the DVD.
3. Go to Utilities menu > Disk Utility, select Macintosh HD on the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the disk.
4. Close Disk Utility and install Mac OS X -
I used Roxio VHS to DVD for Mac (have iMac with Snow Leopard) and the audio does not synch with the video when playing in iMovie. Any suggestions to fix?
Thanks for the reply. I tried playing with detaching the audio in iMovie, but with 20+ hours of video to correct, it would take too long. After 28 hours, Corel/Roxio tech support replied that it is a known bitrate mismatch problem and they have no real fix. I strongly suggest not to buy this product.

My early (white plastic) 2006 imac freezes. I'm running Snow Leopard and have formatted and reinstalled the software 3 or 4 times. Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac4,1
Processor Name: Intel Core Duo
Processor Speed: 2 GHz
Until I installed the SMC FanControl application my screen would "break up" into strange patterns and then would eventually freeze. Please help.If you are trying to upgrade using a gray-faced OS X disk from another system, that won't work, as those disks are locked to the system types they are delivered with. You'll need to drop the $29 on a retail copy of Snow Leopard, which is available from the Apple online store. Note Snow Leopard requires 1GB minimum, and you may want at least 2GB for better performance.

I have paid and downloaded LION and want to update my IMAC, can i just run install and it keep photos settings etc from Snow Leopard or is a full reinstall with wiped hard drive, anyone have any experience of this and do i need to run a backup beforehand?
Always backup your important data before upgrading to a new Mac OS X.
Lion doesn't erase the drive but better to be safe than sorry.
And run Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities). Verify and if necessary repair the startup disk before upgrading.
Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
Before upgrading read here > Lion upgrade questions and answers: Apple Support Communities
And here > What applications are not compatible with Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion"? What upgrade or substitute options are available for common incompatible applications? @ EveryMac.com -
Help my MAC OS X disc doesn't allow me to restore factory settings it just installs snow leopard and remains on my original user account?
You need to erase the disk first. From the 'Utilities' menu on the Install disk choose' Disk Utility; use this to erase the disk, then install the system plus (if it's the original install disk) any bundled applications.
I'm going to state the perfectly obvious just to be on the safe side: 'Erase disk' does exactly that - everything on the disk will be gone. -
I want to install a new internal hard drive for my Macbook (13in, Late 2009) and restore to factory settings. However, I want to keep my Mac OS X Snow Leopard., which I downloaded from the app store. How can I restore computer with the updated OS?
What I did on our two computers was partition the hard drive so that both Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion can be used on the computers. This allowed me to be able to retain/use older applications and games on the Snow Leopard partition. This will allow you to do a clean install of Mountain Lion on the newly created partition. The Mountain Lion installer has a button that allows you to select another drive so you don't install it over Snow Leopard. I cleverly name one partition Snow Leopard and the other one Mountain Lion so I wouldn't confuse the two (I never claimed to be smart).
To partition, you need to have sufficient free hard drive space (I suggest 50 GB minimum). Boot off the Snow Leopard DVD or the disks that came with the computer and use Disk Utility to partition your hard drive into two partitions. If you plan to make Mountain Lion your primary OS, then you can reduce the size of the Snow Leopard partition so most of the free hard drive space is available for Mountain Lion. While booted off the disk, you can install Snow Leopard on the partition you want it on.
Restart and download Mountain Lion, remembering to select the correct partition before installing. I would make a copy of the installer and move it out of the Applications folder because the installer self destructs.
After getting all that sorted out, I found that while booted in Mountain Lion I could access the Snow Leopard partition. That allowed me to drag files and applications from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. Applications that won't work with Mountain Lion will be grayed out with a slash through them. -
I have two partitions on my internal hard drive - one is running Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and the other is running Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. Mail (5.0) is set up and runs perfectly on the Lion partition and I have not used Mail (4.5) yet on my Snow Leopard partition. I want to know if I can read, download, and save mail into the same user Library folder (probably the Lion user library) from both partitions...
You usually set up your mail accounts on a specific e-mail client programs such as Mail in OS X and Mail on an iPad, which will access the same remote mail server to have your messages show up on each device. Mailboxes can be synced in this way between two devices.
An alternative is to use the same remote application such as Gmail to access that service from multiple devices, so a dedicated e-mail client like Mail is not needed, but the availability of these depends on the e-mail service being used. -

How do I partition my MacBook Pro so I can keep Snow Leopard and also install Mountain Lion?
I want to install the latest OS, but I already know that I will lose a lot of my software unless I can partition the hard drive and have two "bootable" drives.
How do I retain everything I have, partition the drive, then reloa the software I own according to which OS it will work under?msmedia wrote:
I do not currently own OS X ML.
I am currently running OS X (10.6.8 Snow Leopard) on my MacBook Pro. It has a 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor. I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but many of my software titles will not operate with ML and I cannot afford to replace some of them (Adobe Creative Suite, for e.g.)
After I back-up my HD and then partition the HD, how do I use the back-up to reinstall what I want to the SL partition, and then place the rest on the ML partition.
I have not done what you want to do, so can only offer some general thoughts in support. Take value from the following where you can. No guarantees.
If it was me, I would use a disk clone utility (e.g. Carbon Copy Cloner) to image the existing Snow Leopard disk to an external drive. Then verify that the external drive would boot and run Snow Leopard normally.
I would then purchase and download the Mountain Lion upgrade installer, but not run it. Use Lion Diskmaker to make a bootable USB stick, and perform a clean install of Mountain Lion, replacing the Snow Leopard on your MBP. This way, you make absolutely certain that no third-party drivers or other SL cruft remains to make Mountain Lion unstable. Update to latest ML point release. Fix permissions. Let TimeMachine make a full backup of your ML installation to a different external drive. Then turn of Time Machine.
In Disk Utility, use the + sign at the bottom of the ML partition to add another GUID, HFS+ Journaled partition for Snow Leopard. Resize to taste. Name it differently from your ML partition. Exhale.
Now ideally, you would like to reverse the external clone and put it back into the new SL partition. Then fix permissions. And demonstrate that you can boot into individually stable OS X installations. This would save you alot of work. Resist copying your home directory into ML just yet.
If you cannot successfully achieve the preceding paragraph, you will be faced with a full SL and application reinstall.
The ~/Library contents for SL and ML are sufficiently different that you do not want to mix them. You may want to salvage Safari bookmarks.plist. And, ML created folders in the home directory may have different permissions or ACL settings than in SL. So, my rule of thumb would be to copy folders that you created in SL, and only the contents of matching named OS created folders such as Music, Pictures, Downloads, etc.
For each operating system, you probably want the Time Machine settings to exclude the opposite OS X partition. If you use the same host name in Sharing prefs, then you will mix SL and ML backups on the same Time Machine back up drive. If you use different host names, they will be distinct folders in the Time Machine backups.backupdb and allow discrete restores per host. You may also want to gag Spotlight from indexing the opposite OS X partition. -
Snow Leopard and Motion 4 even work together.
Upgraded to snow leopard last week and every application in Final Cut Studio 3 works great except Motion 4 which crashes on the launch. I did download the latest prosupport pkg as well. I re-installed FCS2 and the upgrade FCS3 and still will not launch Motion 4. Anyone know a work around or what to do ... thanks in advance.

Safari-Leopard: Quicktime Videos from Web Pages - GARBLED AUDIO
OK, so here is the problem:
1. I am using (the new) Leopard, and all updates have been downloaded and installed successfully.
2. In Safari, when an (embedded) video is present, the video appears perfect. However, the audio is garbled, and unintelligible. This is true for EVERY video I've tried to view on a webpage.
3. I've saved a few videos as Quicktimes to my desktop, and opened directly with Quicktime. The same problem occurs, without fail - GARBLED AUDIO
4. The most recent "test" was a Quicktime using the AAC, H.264 Codec.
5. It seems as if I have installed all of the appropriate plug-ins, but can't be sure of this.
So it seems as if this might indeed be a Quicktime problem, and not a Safari problem, but thought I would post here in case others are having similar issues. I will make the same post in the Quicktime forum as well.
What is the solution?!?!?!??
rwHi Robert
A number of Quicktime/Safari issues have surfaced with Leopard. Here's one example.
Have you looked at your Audio settings in your System Preferences>Quicktime>Advanced>Mime settings panel? In my panel, everything is selected except for Sound Designer II. Might be helpful to uncheck the Audio setting, select "done", then go back to the panel and select it again. Close the panel and try an audio in Safari again.
In your response here, please provide a link to your thread in the Quicktime forum. While Apple discourages posting the same issue in multiple forums, I think in this case the issue may be more Quicktime related than specific to Safari. So good to cover both bases.

Shes slow! Tiger or leopard and whats acl?
HI sorry guys but im not very techy so i dont know if ill explain myself properly here but here are my powerbooks details first anyway.
Shes about 3 years old.
Model Name: PowerBook G4 15"
Model Identifier: PowerBook5,6
Processor Name: PowerPC G4 (1.5)
Processor Speed: 1.67 GHz
Number Of CPUs: 1
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 512 MB
Bus Speed: 167 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.9.1f3
System Memory
Free: fluctuates between 85 and 95 MB
Wired: circ 96MB
Active: circ 256MB
Inactive: Circ 68MB
Used: Circ 421MB
Supposedly overall ive 20 GB free.
Dont know if ye need all that but anyway my problems are as follows.
Everything from programs opening to scrolling down or even highlighting a menu is painfully slow.Im seeing the beach ball constantly.
I cant open anything while burning a disc.
I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard recently hoping it would help milder versions of these problems but its just become worse. Should i just go back to Tiger?
Ive run Disk Utility and usually it comes up with a few things that it fixes but today it came up with a list a mile long filled with lines of
ACL found but not expected on "System/Library/User Template/da.lproj/Library/Audio".
ACL found but not expected on "System/Library/User Template/ko.lproj/Library/Fonts".
ACL found but not expected on "System/Library/User Template/zh_TW.lproj/Public".
ACL found but not expected on "Applications/Utilities".
ACL found but not expected on "Applications".
for example. Someone said i could have a virus! Is that possible on a mac?!
Any advice would be great!
Thanks guys.
Gemma.Hi, Gemma. You can ignore all the ACL messages, according to this Apple article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US
It has nothing to do with a virus.
Your computer (which is Aluminum, not Titanium) has the bare minimum RAM for Leopard, and that's hard on performance. If you had performance issues while you were still running Tiger, upgrading to Leopard (which requires twice as much RAM) was not the way to resolve them.
Have a look at these two FAQ articles and try the tips provided in them:

Whenever I use iChat the video locks up on me. I can no longer send or receive video. The audio continues to work however. I have to force quit iChat to quit the application. The person I am chatting with has a new iMac also with Leopard and it works just fine.
I have done the following things which I found on the discussion forums (in no particular order) none of which has helped:
1. Made sure internet sharing is off
2. Bypassed my Linksys router and went direct to my DSL Modem.
3. Used a video camera instead of the iSight.
4. All updates for the tower have been installed
5. Checked Firewall settings- made sure it was set to allow all
6. Changed streaming settings in Quicktime
7. Changed Firewire ports the camera is on.
8. Disconnected other Firewire devices
The incoming and outgoing video just freezes. It does not matter if any other applications are running or not. Other network items such as Safari continues to work fine.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
DavidiChat Freeze:
I just sent my daughter-in-law a brand new Aluminum iMac 2.0 GHz, OS X 10.5.0. When she tried to use iChat (ver. 4) she got the identical iChat freeze failure you and others have described:
About 15 - 30 seconds after establishing a video iChat connection the iChat video freezes and she can no longer send or receive video. The audio continues to work however. She has to force quit iChat to quit the program.
I was convinced it was a Leopard issue until I saw this “iChat Freeze” topic at:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1164081&tstart=0
where the same failure sequence happened under OS X 10.4.10 except that instead of freezing iChat (ver 3) generated a connection failure report.
This makes me suspect there may be two problems: a video freeze due to an ISP/router bandwidth limiter issue; and an iChat freeze due to a Leopard bug.
Her current ISP/Router (AT&T/2WIRE) lets her video iChat work okay on her old eMac OS X 10.4.10.
She plans to update to OS X 10.5.1 but we suspect that won’t help.
On the chance her router doesn’t trust her new high-speed Mac, she’ll try reducing the Bandwidth Limits in iChat’s preferences and see if that helps. She’ll also check the Statistics and Error Log in iChat’s Connection Doctor.
In the meantime any leads to fixing the problem would be appreciated.

Leopard and Adobe Photoshop CS2 problems...
I've been reading the posts about Leopard and CS2 problems and have to say that I'm confused. A great many of you have had issues from the very beginning as soon as you upgraded to Leopard. I did not. I use a VERY basic set-up without third party plugins and suspect that to be why I had no problems. At least until now... I looked back through my documents to be sure, and my Photoshop was working beautifully through the first week of January. Somewhere between then and now there had to be an update from Apple that broke Photoshop. I haven't changed any settings since it last worked, and there certainly haven't been any updates from the greedy buggers over at Adobe because they don't support CS2 anymore apparently. What could Apple have updated that might have accidently corrupted my Photoshop?? I don't really feel it could be anything else, but who knows... Does anyone have any ideas? I would hate to have to downgrade to OS 10.4 just to use my Photoshop and I certainly can't afford to shell out the extra $$ for CS3.
I appreciate any light you guys can shed on the topic...
StanActually the 10.5.2 update does seem to have improved things for me with Photoshop CS1. I can now actually type entries into the little boxes for things like crop and brush sizes. The File Browser is still prone to crashing the application though, and there is still some weirdness with opening files by a drag and drop onto the app icon in the Dock. But nothing got worse, and several annoyances disappeared.
One thing to try is to create a brand new admin test user, with no additions (that includes not adding fonts), log into the new account and see if Photoshop will work there.
And speaking of fonts, do you have Linotype's Font Explorer installed? If so, did you get the new updater for it? Some people who use Font Explorer were having a lot of problems after the 10.5.2 update, including Photoshop failure to launch, that were fixed with the Font Explorer update.
