Leopard Box Set question

With the boxed set, is it just the three peices of software: 10.5.6, iLife, and iWork seperately? I mean, there is no option on the 10.5.6 dvd to choose additional installs that would then ask for disk 2 and 3??

They are individual ...

  • Up Grade from Tiger 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard (Box Set)

    I have a two part Question:
    Do I have to do a full install or can I perform a partial install and not to up grade to snow leopard using the Box Set. I read stories the snow Leopard up grade is having issues with certain older programs (i.e. Photo shop, Word etc...) Is this true?
    I assume the best method to install would be a Clean and Install or is there another way that it's done? The reason I need to up grade is because of my new modem -Airport Extreme, which requires Leopard.
    Thank for your insight..

    [Here is a thread describing a successful upgrade install from Tiger to Sno.|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2185421&tstart=125] And, here are my thoughts about moving from Tiger to Sno. I recommend that you use the upgrade method if your Tiger install is a very good one. Otherwise, I would do an erase and install. The backup process I would use in either case is described below.
    Your Mac must meet [these general requirements|http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html]. I would not upgrade to SL unless I had an external drive with a bootable clone of my internal-drive boot volume on it. I think that there is enough risk upgrading to SL that such conservatism is warranted. I would not use time machine for an installation backup; I don't trust it enough. If you do not like SL, then you can restore your internal using the clone. In doing an upgrade install, the clone is your data backup and fail-safe device. You can clone with Disk Utility, SuperDuper, or Carbon Copy Cloner. If you do an erase and install, then the clone also is your migration medium.
    An upgrade install is performed by installing over your existing installation from the desktop or having started from your SL DVD. Doing so requires you to have a GUID partition. To proceed, start the installer, choose your language, start Disk Utility, make sure your partition is GUID, quit disk utility if it is and continue your installation. All your data, users settings, and apps will be present after your upgrade, except that incompatible programs will be archived in the Incompatible Software folder. It the partition is not GUID, then you will have to do an erase and install.
    If you do an erase and install, then make sure your partition is GUID as described above. After you install, then you will be able to use set up assistant to migrate you data, apps, users, and settings to your new SL install. Also, if you have to make your partition GUID, then your drive will automatically be erased Mac extended (journaled). Finally, post back if you choose to do an erase and install. I have more info to provide.
    You probably will want to install at least two of the optional install items on your Sno DVD, Rosetta and QT7. You can install either from the Optional Install Items folder on your on SL install DVD.
    Leave your Ethernet cable, if any, in place when installing, but unplug all peripherals except those needed to install.

  • Where is the Snow Leopard box set?

    When I check the Apple Online Store all I can see is the Leopard to Snow Leopard upgrade pack, it says if I want to upgrade from Tiger that I must buy the box set but I can't see it.  Any ideas?
    Also, if I have two MacBooks on Leopard which Snow Leopard pack should I purchase to upgrade them both?  Would I have to buy iLife separately or could I still use the old iLife that came with the MacBooks?
    Thank you for your advice!

    Find one at amazon.
    Snow Leopard is certainly a very good, solid OS, and I am not entirely sure about Lion yet.

  • Snow Leopard Box Set vs standalone box

    Is the SL DVD itself in the Box Set (which includes DVD's for iLife and iWork) the same as the single DVD SL box?

    and the box set still has iWork 09, right..but, iLife '11
    Just trying to make sure I Have what I need, since it is being reported Lion is going all Mac App Store..

  • How can I upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard wihout violating EULA while Mac Box Set is no longer available?

    I use my original Tiger bought with MacBook Pro. But now so many applications do not support Tiger, so I decided to upgrade to SL.
    But required by Apple way to do this with Mac Box Set seems to be impossible. Mac Box Set is no longer available from Apple.
    Is upgrading using Snow Leopard disc, which is still in Apple Store, ok?
    I will be gratefull for help.

    The Mac Box Set includes Mac OS X Snow Leopard, iLife ’09 and iWork ’09. If you just use the SL installer, you don't get the additional apps.

  • I have os 10.4. Why do I need the mac box set to upgrade to snow leopard?

    I have os 10.4. Why do I need the mac box set to upgrade to snow leopard? What happens if I upgrade with just a 10.6 upgrade?

    No iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, Garageband, but I can pinch those off the 10.4 installer disk using Pacifist.
    You can usually get those from the original grey installer discs that came with your Mac without bothering with Pacifist. Look for an 'installed bundled software' or similarly named item on one of those discs, generally the #1 disc. Run that & the original versions of those apps that were bundled with your Mac will be installed. Software Update will let you know if there is an update you can download for them (but of course that won't include an upgrade to a more recent major version, which you would have to buy separately).

  • Can't upgrade to snow leopard from tiger with mac box set

    i have a macbook that runs 10.4.11. and this happened like last yr i think. i was going to upgrade it to snow leopard, and so i went to the store and bought the mac box set, the one costs $196. and here comes the trouble, no matter what i did, it couldn't be properly upgraded. like when it shows the window that says it is upgrading, it just tell you some errors occurred and then it couldn't proceed. so ever since i just continued using 10.4.11.
    now i kind want to upgrade it again but im afraid that sth wrong is gonna happen again. so what should i do?? (b4 i upgraded, i erased everything in my mac, but still...)
    the funny thing is, once i actually brought my macbook into the store and tried to upgrade in front f the technician, and it failed. later on they told me that i need to increase its memory from 1GB to 2GB, and i did so. but still........T.T

    Hi, do you remember any of the exact wording of the errors?
    Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Report any errors it has.
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • Mac Box Set: Leopard at 9$?

    Hi,
    I'd like to buy iLife and iWork '09, and I see that there is Mac Box Set at 169$ (9$ more than iWork+iLife).
    I already have Leopard. What can i do with the new copy of Leopard? Because is interesting to buy it at 9$, but is interesting if useful
    Bye

    The box set will contain a Leopard install disk that installs version 10.5.6 directly. So your "extra" $9 buys you the convenience of not having to run software update to get back to 10.5.6 should you ever need to reinstall Leopard on your Mac. (Depending on the age of the Leopard installer disk you already own, it will install anything from 10.5 on up -- if a retail disk, it will be 10.5, 10.5.1, or 10.5.4; if a model specific disk, it could be almost any version; & if an upgrade or "drop-in" disk, you would have to install Tiger first.)

  • Can I Install Snow Leopard over Tiger, without the Mac Box Set?

    I've just spoken to an Apple advisor in Canada and he told me that I could buy the Snow Leopard CD and install it on my MacBook that has Tiger, and I wouldn't need to buy the Mac Box Set.  He said that since the Mac Box Set isn't available anymore Apple put the full software on the CD instead of just the upgrade.
    However I get a contradictory information on the Apple website.
    What is true?

  • Snow Leopard Single User Box Set

    Currently I have three accounts on my iMac: 1 for me and my wife, and 1 each for my two boys. Would I be able to do the same if I upgrade with Snow Leopard Single User Box Set or do I need to buy the family pack?
    Thank you.

    Hi hawsink: The box set is only required when upgrading separate computers. It isn't required when upgrading a single computer.
    Hope this helps

  • Updating from Tiger to Snow Leopard without buying the Mac Box Set

    Is it possible to update from Tiger to Snow Leopard without buying the Mac Box Set? My sister already has iLife 09 so I could borrow it and simply buy Snow Leopard. Is that possible or would it still violate the licensing agreement?

    Did you read item C from the license link you posted (underline was added for emphasis)?
    Leopard Upgrade Licenses. If you have purchased an Upgrade for Mac OS X Leopard license, then subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you are granted a limited non-exclusive license to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-branded computer _as long as that computer has a properly licensed copy of Mac OS X Leopard already installed on it._ If you have purchased a Family Pack Upgrade for Mac OS X Leopard license, then subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you are granted a limited non-exclusive license to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on up to a maximum of five (5) Apple-branded computers at a time as long as those computers are located in the same household (as defined above), are used by persons who occupy that same household, and each such computer has a properly licensed copy of Mac OS X Leopard already installed on it. The Family Pack Upgrade for Mac OS X Leopard License does not extend to business or commercial users.
    The OP asked about using the upgrade (and, obviously, try to avoid buying the box set) to move from OS X 10.4 to OS X 10.6. I mentioned the license agreement to allow the OP to make their own decision.

  • Safari Image turns to Tiny Blue Box with Question Mark

    Hi all,
    I get tiny blue question mark a lot in Safari.
    Many Website where i visit almost everyday, the images appear as "tiny blue box with question marks". My Firefox also fails to load the images and had the same problem with "tiny blue box with question marks". Before every site work fine. I have been searching through Google and many others search for almost 12 hrs for a solution to solve this problem but none of it really works out. Basically, I have tried everything, I just can't find and still not able to fix this issue in Safari and Firefox.
    Is this a Safari 3.0.4/Firefox 2.0.0.9 problem, or is there some setting on my Mac wrong or is it a new virus recently?
    If anyone has any solution to solve this problem, an very much appreciated...
    CK Lee (From Thailand)

    Hi guys, I am also in Bangkok and working (I use the term loosely) with True. Like you, the images have not been loading over the weekend and I have been trying to track this down. I went through all the motions of restarting, clearing caches, etc., but that was no good.
    On Saturday morning, I went into my office where I have access to another network (I don't usually use it as it is a bit flaky), but when I tried that, the images did load.
    Back at home, I tried again and the blue squares reappeared. I checked some of my own web pages which also had the squares, but only selectively (images in the same directory were OK; those that were accessed via internal links were not). Using FTP I checked the website: images were all OK as were the links on the pages themselves.
    As an experiment, I uploaded one image. When I tried the page again, the image appeared. I then uploaded both of the affected directories and the pages were back to normal after a couple of reloads. What this indicates to me is that the cache, either at True or upstream, has a problem.
    I do think however that it is True as the other server I used would also access the CAT caches and they seemed OK.
    A series of notes to the True helpdesk might jolt them into some action on Monday morning after they have had their starter coffee. I have had some success in the past with [email protected]
    All the best.

  • Craigsphone app pictures are blue boxes with question marks?

    When I use the Craigsphone app for my iPhone, the images are now blue boxes with question marks.  The pictures used to show up fine, but now don't.  Is there a setting somewhere I need to change and if so, where is it?  I've been through my phone and can't figure it out.  I've also restarted and restored my phone and that hasn't worked.
    Thanks in advance!

    I am also running into this problem. net every picture doesn't show though, just maybe three quarters worth.

  • Blue boxes with question mark

    Hello, sometimes when I open up mail messages or web pages I get little blue boxes with question marks where there should be images? What am I doing wrong? Is there a setting I'm missing? Thanks!!

    I have the same problem. I tried refreshing the email but it doesn't work. I'm able to see the images on my iPhone. Maybe my internet connection is causing it. It began happening a month ago but I haven't changed anything with my internet nor notice any difference in anything else I do internet wise.
