Leopard not seeing Tiger on one machine

Hi this is dead weird.
I have upgraded my MBP tp leopard. On our network whether airport or ethernet I can see and mount 2 Tiger computers but not a third. they have exactly the same network settings I can see.
All the tiget macs can see each other.
any ideas?

For the third one that can't be seen, try connecting it the first time using the IP address. So in Finder's menu, Go -> Connect to Server. Instead of browsing, enter the IP address for that Mac where it says Server Address. Click Connect.
Since you say you can connect fine between all the Tiger Macs, I assume they all have File Sharing enabled *and started* in System Preferences Sharing pane.

I have a new time capsule (replace my old time capsule). I want to erase my old one. My computer does not see the old one anymore, how do I connect it (the old TC is not connected to modem)

I have a new time capsule (replace my old time capsule). I want to erase my old one. My computer does not see the old one anymore, how do I connect it (the old TC is not connected to modem). I want to erase it and then use it as either a second hard drive (sired/sirelesly?) or as a hard drive/bridge. So,
1. why doesn't my cmputer see the old TC
2 once i have solved that, how do I erase the old one
3. Can I use the old one as a supplemental hard drive
     a. wired?
     b. wirelessly?
4. Can I use the old one as a range extender?
I know .. a lot of questions but I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

1. Because it is either the same IP as the new one or hidden by being plugged in as a second router.
To access it, isolate one computer from the existing network and plug it directly by ethernet to a lan port of the TC. Use the erase function in the TC to remove all the content of the hard disk.
Then go to the internet tab, connection sharing and select off bridged. You can then reconnect the TC to the network.. and the computer as well. The TC will act as bridged device.. getting IP from the main router and should then appear correctly in Airport utility.
2. I covered in 1. But you just go in airport utility manual setup. disk, and you will see the erase function. You can also set it to bridge and leave the erase until you put it back in the network.. but be careful you erase the right one.
3. You can use the old TC via wired or wireless.. although I would always stick to wired connection if possible. Speed on wireless is 10x worse than wired.
Also note the reliability goes down dramatically after 2 years.. a series 1 3 years old or more is ebay fodder unless you want to repair it. Do not trust vital data to it.. when it dies you will have issues recovering it.
4. Yes, all apple routers will function as wireless extenders. when you do that the ethernet ports turn off so it becomes a purely wireless device.. strange apple decision on what you want to use your TC for.

Jabber 4.4 "Graphics card or driver not supported" error on one machine but not another.

Hi, I looked at the KB document but the email link on it no longer works.
I have two end-users using Jabber 4.4 on identical machines, same specs, same driver build and OS image. One gets the "Graphics card or driver not supported" error, the other does not.
We have two DellOptiPlex 7010's,
Both had 2 instances of AMD Radeon HD 7470 - they are dual monitor machines.
In both cases the driver version 8.922.0.0, Driver Date 12/6/2011. This is the latest Dell has on their website.
On one machine when I run a fresh install for Jabber for TelePresence 4.4 it works fine. But on another the user first gets
"supportabilitytest.exe has stopped working
A oriblem cause the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program."
Then when that's closed out we get:
"Graphics card or driver not supported!
New features in this version of Jabber Video are not supported by your computer's graphics driver.
Update to the newest graphics driver available and run Jabber Video again."
I can't believe it's just a matter of upgrading the drivers because in this case one machine with identical drivers works.
I appreciate any insights, thanks !

Hi ksouthall,
It sounds like the openGL supported version did not install on the one that is failing. There isn't much we can do regarding that error. Best practice is to always upgrade to the latest manufacturer's available driver. Client requirements are below.
Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit), Vista, or XP (SP 2 or newer), with OpenGL 1.2 or newer.
For 720p HD video calls, Intel Core2Duo @ 1.2GHz or better.
For VGA video calls, Intel Atom @ 1.6GHz or better.
Webcam, built-in or external. You need an HD webcam if you want other callers to see you in HD.
Broadband Internet connection with a recommended bandwidth of 768kbps upstream and downstream. You need about 1.2Mbps upstream and downstream for 720p HD video calls.
Regards,
Jason

Leopard not seeing Windows shares on a home network - one solution

I have a small home network with a MacBook Pro, MacMini and a PC connected by Ethernet and a MacBook and a Powerbook connecting remotely. Recently upgraded to Leopard and initially could see the PC in the sharing tab of the sidebar of the Finder window. This then disappeared and was not fixed by the 10.5.1 update.
I spent hours messing around and now seem to have fixed the problem to the extent that the PC now shows up in the sharing tab spontaneously and this survives a restart.
First I looked at the workgroup issue in the WINS tab of the advanced settings in the Network preference pane. This wouldn’t ‘stick’ and the solution (posted elsewhere) is to duplicate the location setting, delete the old one and then use the new duplicated one, then you can enter a workgroup name and it will stick. The Mac doesn’t seem to detect a workgroup and I only found what the workgroup name was later. There was a greyed out NetBios name for my mac however. I also made sure that SMB sharing was enabled in the options dialog box in the sharing pane, (if you disable AFP sharing and close the window with SMB enabled the message in the sharing pane then says ‘Windows sharing enabled’ if both AFP and SMB are enabled then Windows sharing is not mentioned)
I intermittently tried to connect to server on smb://192.168 etc. and I kept getting a connection failed dialog box.
Still getting nowhere, so went to the PC to have a look at that. Found the correct workgroup name by searching the help for “computer, name” and this directed me to find the computer and workgroup names. I went back to the Mac and put in the workgroup name but still no joy. Went back to the PC and looked at ‘my network places’ and sure enough the public folder on my mac appeared and if I put a file into it I could open it on the PC.
I then looked at the firewall settings on the PC (I’m using BitDefender 2008 total security) and set the Mac to be a trusted computer on the network. Went back to the mac and tried connecting via the connect to server dialog box and this worked!!! I was asked for my windows password and having put this in the shared folders on the PC appeared. The PC appeared in the sidebar with a generic icon and the IP address (192.168.etc) next to it instead of the computer name. However, after I ejected the PC to see if I could connect again, it suddenly popped up again spontaneously in the sidebar with the usual PC-type computer name, i.e. a name followed by a random seeming alphanumeric string. If I select the PC in the sidebar and then click on the ‘connect as…’ button in the Finder window the shared folders appear.
As I say this ability to see the PC has now survived a restart so fingers crossed. I can't say which bits of the above were the important ones but it did seem to work.
Maybe this might help others
Cheers
Iain

I recently installed Leopard and just today wanted to connect to one of my Windows machines. After a Google search and some forum browsing I did the following:
- System Prefs > Network > Ethernet > Advanced... > WINS > Workgroup
- entered my Workgroup name (WORKGROUP)
- clicked "Ok" then "Apply"
- Restarted
- Apple Key + "K" smb://192.168.1.1
- Authentication box appeared; I typed in my creditials
- Then I noticed that the finder sidebar had populated the "shared" section with my Workgroup computers (all two of them). Not sure if it was populated after the restart but sure it wasn't there before.
- Just restarted and the "Shared" section is still populated with the Windows workgroup machines.
I'm very glad this is working as I have the "no WiFi" bug.

Running Snow Leopard but need Tiger for ONE application... Possible?

Hello all... I currently have an intel Macbook Pro which is about 3.5 yrs old. My OS is Snow Leopard 10.6.4 and I love it.. however, I also need to use an old version of Avid Xpress Pro which recommends running 10.4.6-10.4.8 (Tiger). This is the only application that I have that requires this OS... Unfortunately, I need the app for now.
My question is this:
Can I partition (or by any other means) a portion of my Mac for Tiger 10.4.8 and the rest for Snow Leopard?
If so how do I go about it?
Many thanks!!

Having the original disks does not matter... the question is, what did your Mac _ship with_? If it shipped with Tiger, then you can certainly partition and install Tiger on a second partition. Of course, if it were me, I would probably just buy an external drive and install Tiger on that, but that's just personal preference. If you choose to partition, just make sure you've got a good set of backups. You should be able to do it without erasing, but should not gamble your data on it going off without a hitch.
OTOH, if your Mac shipped with something other than Tiger, you simply cannot run Tiger on it. See:

AirPort Extreme not seeing USB HD, time machine failure

I can't see my USB HD that I have connected to my base station. It works fine if I connect the HD directly to my computer. I have the drive sectioned into 2 partitions. One is formatted as MacOSX Extended (Journaled) for backing up my MacBook Pro via Time Machine, and the other is formatted at MS-DOS FAT32 so I can use it to transfer files between my Macs and my Windows machine. Everything was working fine for a while. Then my MacBook Pro couldn't find the HD connected to the base station. The only drive that would come up was the MS-DOS partition. I get a blinking amber light on my base station now with an alert that the disk needs repair and to connect it directly to the computer to repair it. If I disconnect the HD the light turn back to green. I re-partitioned the external hard drive and re-connected it to my base station. Now my Airport icon doesn't appear at all in the left sidebar. I re-formatted and re-connected the drive a couple different times. I tried formatting the drives differently, not partitioning the drive, etc. and nothing seems to work. I can't get the HD to show up again if it's connected to the base station, although if I connect it directly to my computer everything is fine. Therefore, I'm guessing it's not actually a problem with the HD, it's a problem with the base station reading the HD. I really want to set this up with 2 partitions so I can use part of it to back up my laptop via time machine. That was actually the whole point of purchasing the 500GB HD. The HD is a 500GB SimpleTech. Does anyone out there have any help or suggestions????? :-S

Oh cool. That's interesting. I'm going to reformat my entire external HD as MacOS Extended and use it all as extra storage then.
One more question. If I got a time capsule, then I actually wouldn't need my Airport Extreme base station right? So I could set up a time capsule in place of the Extreme and still attach my 500GB external to the Capsule as a network storage device. Correct? So it's another thing to buy, but I would gain a lot of extra storage space and I would have something I could rely on for backup.

Migration assistant will not see my old Time Machine Disk

Just in the process of abandoning our trusty old G5 running Leopard for a new iMac with Lion.
I have everything backed up on Time Machine from the G5 and need to migrate iTunes as it is the sync center for a family of iPhones, iPods and iPads. So has all of the things bought from the iTunes store.
Migration Assistant refuses to see the Time Machine disk. It shows up on the desktop, so I know it is connected.
Any clues?
Everything I am reading in the threads does not give me confidence that the files on Time Machine will be able to be moved.
thanks
Terri

Those are your backups. Migration Assistant shows the name of the disk and system that were backed-up, not the disk they're on. It will not show the disk you're running from.
See the tan box in Using Migration Assistant on Lion.

Itunes and Airport admin do not see AE on one computer, but do on other

I have a network that is connected to the internet via a Linksys router. I have set up the Airport Express to redistribute the signal via WDS. I have a Mac desktop connected to the network and it can see the AE in the Airport Admin, and it can broadcast music via iTunes to the stereo attached to the AE.
However, my Powerbook that is also attached to this network cannot "see" the AE via the Airport Admin or iTunes. In the admin I can manually connect to the AE by typing in the AE's local IP address.
I know there have been other threads on this, and I have read them all and tried the suggestions. I have connected the AE directly to the Powerbook with an ethernet cable and it still does not show up. I have changed the AE's name and rebooted the computer and AE multiple times. Still nothing.
If anyone has more advice, please let me know. This is very odd and frustrating. I do not understand why one computer can see the thing, but the other one cannot.
Thanks,
Bryan

Okay, this really has me baffled... When I woke up this morning and looked at my laptop, the AE appeared in the Admin Utility and as a speaker selection in iTunes. When I tried to select the AE as an audio output in iTunes the application just did not respond. I closed and restarted iTunes and the output selector was no longer there, and when I checked the Admin Utility the AE was no longer in the list.
I decided to not worry about it for now.
So then I logged into my work network via my VPN client. While attached to the VPN I clicked over to iTunes and, lo and behold, the selector is back and the AE is available for audio output. Once again, if I try to select the AE as the output, iTunes does not respond to the selection. The AE is also visible in the Admin Utility while connected to the VPN as well. If I log off of the VPN, the AE disappears from iTunes and the Admin Utility.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bryan

Leopard Not Seeing Correct Permissions on Files on Leopard Server

File on OS X 10.4 server has the following permissions:
owner abc read & write
group abc read & write
everyone read only
If I connect to the server via AFP from a client running OS X 10.4 with user xyz that's in group abc, that client shows these permissions correctly (via Finder get info).
If I connect to the server via AFP from a client running OS X 10.5 with user xyz that's in group abc, the client shows the following permissions (via Finder get info):
You have custom access
(unknown) read & Write
staff read only
everyone read only
If I disable ACLs on the OS X 10.5 client (fsaclctl -d), it shows the same permissions as the OS X 10.4 client.
I verified that the file on the server does not have an ACLs attached.
Any suggestions as to why this is happening? Thanks!

Hi - for anyone to help you, you'll need to tell us:
• what version of system software is your server running?
• You say you have to change permissions - is this when you try to upload? Is this when you try to open the file on the laptop - or when you try to open the file on the server itself?

Change Leopard to display Tiger's dock.

Dear members:
This is probably a minor issue for most but I have found the new dock on Leopard to be quite annoying. I really prefer to work with the dock in Tiger.
Although I have already upgrade the office computers to Leopard my home computer is still running Tiger. Due to need to install a few applications that are only available for Leopard (not for Tiger) I will have to upgrade my home computer also.
Is there a way (either using Leopard features or third party applications) to change the dock so that it looks the same way it does in Tiger ?
Thank you in advance for your help and responses.
Joseph Chamberlain

you can easily modify the look of the dock in leopard but it won't look exactly like it did in Tiger. see this link for lots of custom docks instructions on how to apply them
http://www.leoparddocks.com/index.php
You can also use [Liteicon|http://www.freemacsoft.net/LiteIcon> or [candybar|http://www.panic.com/candybar> to apply new docks.
if you don't like the 3d dock look you can make it look 2d with [Tinkertool|http://www.bresink.com/osx/TinkerTool.html].

Decktop 6.2, HotSync not see Bluetooth as Connections option, Vista 64-bit

I got a new Dell Studio XPS with Vista Home Premium 64-bit and discovered that I could not perform a USB sync with my Treo 755p (Verizon). Since bluetooth sync was recommended, I purchased an IOGear Bluetooth 2.0 USB Micro Adapter (GBU421) and allowed Windows to discover the device. When prompted by Windows to insert the disk to install the driver, I went to the IOGear website and downloaded the most recent software (WIDCOMM bluetooth software version 5.5.0.4400 released 03/11/09 for Windows XP & Vista, 32 & 64-bit). Prior to installing this software, I had done a "clean" uninstall of all Palm files as directed in these forums and did a restart of the computer. I installed the bluetooth software & configured it to be "discoverable" and did another restart. Finally, I downloaded Palm Desktop 6.2, installed it and restarted the computer again. However, HotSync Manager does not see Bluetooth as one of the Connection options. My Treo 755p does "see" the computer when configuring bluetooth. Is there any hope that I may be able to sync this computer with my 755p or am I forced to look for a different smartphone? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

bonz1973: It worked! I am so relieved & happy after so many hours of frustration. I want to thank you so much for your reference to messages #353 & #354 on "Vista 64 Hotsync solution found!" I want to share some of my experience that may help someone else. My comments are in [ ] and take off of those from edwardek.
1. Installed Palm v4.2 [I found that I did not need to do this]
2. Installed Palm v6.2
3. Installed Palm Outlook 2007 [ didn't do this part either since I use Outlook 2003]
4. Installed Bluetooth apps
5. Inserted the ... dongle in the USB port #6
[edwardek claims that he needed to use USB port #6 but my computer does not have a USB port #6. Instead it divides the many USB ports into Hubs. What' more important is that some software sets up the Bluetooth to transmit on a COM port. Mine was COM3. To see how your adapter software installed your Bluetooth devise, check the Device Manager in the Control Panel. It does list "Bluetooth Devices" where you can find the Device, right click, choose Properties, and see which USB port the Bluetooth adapter is in. However Device Manager also listed my Bluetooth under "Network adapters" and "Ports (COM & LPT)" which is important because I had to configure HotSync using Serical port COM3. I think it depends on the Bluetooth software you get.]
6. In your PC tray (at the bottom of your PC display), Right Click Hotsync Manager and select "Settings" [Yes, you need to configure your computer's HotSync method.]
7. Wait a long time (2 minutes) and the Hotsynch Manager window will be displayed. In that window click "Connection" and when the window opens click "USB" (a checkmark will then appear), then click COM (a checkmark will appear), under this you'll see a pick list drop-down menu showing all the ports. Select COM6.
[I didn't have to wait at all for HotSync to display. Yes, check both USB and Serial connections and at this point a dialog box showed the Serial connection was COM3, matching what was in Device Manager. I suspect that some software actually creates a Bluetooth option that shows up in the Connections list like the instructions from PALM specify. My software didn't set up the Bluetooth device is this way and so I was totally frustrated by not finding Bluetooth on the Connections list.]
8. Next set up your Bluetooth application and make sure it is paired with your Treo (I'm assuming everyone knows how to do this but in essence you make sure the Bluetooth application sees your Treo (your name) and that your Treo sees your PC (the PC name). [Before this step you have to configure your Treo so Bluetooth is ON and VISIBLE and you can see your computer as a Device. I had a shortcut to my Bluetooth software in the PC Tray beside the HotSync icon. Once I had the Connections set for USB and Serial in step 7 and the Treo set up to be Visible, the computer saw my Treo using the name I had given the Treo.]
9. From your Treo start the HotSynch, then on your Bluetooth application (Bluesoleil) right click on the Treo device and select connect. You should then see that the 2 devices are connected and the exchange begins. [Yes, start the HotSynch from your Treo.]
It worked for me and hope this helps you sync your Treo and your Vista 64-bit. Thanks for everyone's input and help.

Snow Leopard OS will not "see" older Leopard Time Machine back-ups

I upgraded to OSX Snow Leopard from Leopard using a new hard drive (I wanted a bigger drive so it was actually a fresh install rather than an upgrade). OSX SL could see Time Machine back-ups from the Leopard system initially (before performing an OSX SL back-up). Now that the OSX TL back-up is completed, the previous Leopard back-ups cannot be seen by Time Machine. Any ideas on how/if I can get it to see them (as I could before I did a full back-up)?
I can see them on the drive, but just can't get to them via Time Machine.
Thanks!

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
Yes, Time Machine normally only shows you the backups for the Mac you're on.
You need the +*Browse . . .+* option. See #17 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

My iMac with Leopard does not see Vista PCs on the network

My iMac with Leopard cannot see any of my Vista PCs on my network. I have an older G5 iMac (tiger) and the Leopard system see that one just fine. My older G5 sees my Leopard mac and all of the Vista computers. I just want the Leopard mac to see the Vista computers. Please help.

I'm having the same problem. It was literally working one minute and not the next. I also had this issue with my MBP but it was never resolved. I can ping the vista machine but not connect to the folder structure. This is really annoying because my vista machine is acting as a server and I need to remote desktop from the iMac to the windows machine.
Any ideas people?
