Leopard upgrade restored to Tiger OS

I upgraded to 10.5 and lost some good
stuff that 10.4 was handling fine, like Classic.
Can I install Tiger on a new volume
and then use "Import my settings from another Mac"
to get my goodies back from Leopard.
Is there a way?
Thanks,
shamus

Just boot into the Tiger backup/clone you made before upgrading. If you don't have one, then you're basically up a creek since there are changes made to stuff in Leopard that don't play well with Tiger.

  • New hard drive, Leopard upgrade, restore disks needed?

    Hi
    I have a macbook which shipped with Tiger and ilife 06.
    Several months ago I upgraded to Leopard and ilife 08 - both great.
    Now I want to upgrade my hard drive to a bigger one, so I just need a bit of advice please.
    There is plenty of advice here and on the apple support site about how to upgrade your hard drive, but not when you have upgraded the OS.
    The simplest way would be to use CCC to clone it, but I want a clean install. I hope that I don't have to use the restore disks, then upgrade both OSX and ilife - that would be painful!
    Anyway, here goes.
    I have a SATA enclosure.
    What is the best way to proceed? Do I need either of the restore disks that came with the macbook, or do I just need the new Leopard and ilife (retail) upgrade disks?
    I am happy with taking the old drive out (after doing a last time machine backup - just in case!) and putting it into the external enclosure and putting the new drive in the macbook.
    Then, what is the best way to restore my data? Time machine? Migration assistant? Dragging and dropping everything? (what about preferences & settings?)
    Thanks for all your help.

    Thanks - do I need the old restore disks that came with the mac at all, or are they just Tiger, ilife 06 and a bit of free software, therefore not needed. I am a little concerned that they contain some drivers etc that i might need.
    I have retail disks of Leopard and ilife 08, bought separately.
    Thanks

  • OSX Tiger to Leopard upgrade

    My dad has a 'vintage' iMac G5 PPC which is running OSX 10.5.8 (leopard). It has steadily got worse over the years to the point now where it is crawling, and constantly displays the spinning ball.
    After trying various fixes to no avail I've decided to format the hard drive and re-install the OS, however, he only has the original system restore discs for Tiger, having upgraded to Leopard with a family upgrade disc which he no longer has. Apple wont help, other than to offer a full system disc for £££'s. I've exhaustively searched ebay for anyone selling a Leopard upgrade disc but had no luck.
    Can anyone else suggest a solution? (and he can't afford to replace the machine! )
    Many thanks in advance
    Alex

    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.
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for slow action in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport in 10.4 & below, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • How to Uninstall Leopard Upgrade and go back to Tiger

    I would like to go back to Tiger and was wondering how to uninstall the Leopard upgrade without having to do a full reformat. Is this possible? Thanks in advance!

    First, welcome to the Apple boards.
    Backup what you have because it probably contains things from the original update you want to keep - network settings, passwords, etc. A bootable clone is your best bet - and test it out.
    Then you need to format your HD (full, not quick) with the Leopard DVD and then reboot with the Tiger CD and install it. I am not sure how much you can migrate "downwards" from the Leopard backup, but some things will probably come along OK. Not sure about mail since it was converted by Leopard - will it unconvert? Don't know.
    I have read of some who tried to simply install Tiger over Leopard but the results were less than great. You can try it once you have that clone backup, because you won't be losing anything.
    I would suggest unplugging the clone during the erase and install process until you get to the migration point.

    I have a brand new Leopard based MacBook Pro that I need to revert to its previous cat form of Tiger. Would you mind walking me through it? I have Tiger disks that came with another MacBook Pro so those should have all of the machine specific items I will need. As I understand this, I start the computer from the included Leopard disk and do a full format. (I noticed that there is a new partition style named GUID Partition, is this Leopard only?) Next, I load in my Tiger disks and install from those? I do not need to do any system backups as I have no information on this computer as of yet. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks, Brian

  • Tiger to Snow Leopard upgrade fails  with buffer overflow

    I'm not sure where to proceed with the following situation:
    I have a 17" MB pro with 1GB memory and 22GB free hard drive space. I booted into the installer from the CD and stepped through the prompts without changing any options to the point where the install starts doing it's magic. Shortly after starting, the install will crash complaining about a buffer overflow during/just after the part where it's finding system files.
    I originally tried to do this with only 10GB free, but after the first failure, I did a repair disk using the Disk Utility and removed a bunch of really old files I no longer needed, which brought the available disk space to 22GB, but this did not help anything. At this point, I'm not sure what to do. I use Carbon Copy Cloner as a backup so I can do a full wipe and install, however I would prefer to avoid that as it is a lot of work to get things back.
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
    Error log follows. I cut out a lot of stuff so please let me know if that detail is needed.

    Regarding the need to buy the packaged bundle, I keep seeing folks here and elsewhere claiming that is not necessary.
    That's because they have not read, or concern themselves with the license agreement. Section 2. "Permitted License Uses and Restrictions", section C says on http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/macosx106.pdf
    It's been read forwards, backwards, and upside down. Nowhere on the packaging is there any identification of the $29 (or $49 family pack) version as only suitable as a "Leopard upgrade" version. There are vague mentions about it on Apple's online sales page and in press releases. I've read the license terms thoroughly and the only conclusion that could reasonably be conferred is that the $29 version carries a "single user" license simply because it doesn't say "family pack". There are plenty of reports that it installs over Tiger just fine.
    Granted I've read numerous reports and I installed my copy over Leopard. However - imagine someone who vaguely heard about it, walked into a store and bought a copy, thoroughly looked over the box and the license terms (within the disc), and installed it in good faith over Tiger. There is ZERO, ZIP, NADA on the package that would lead anyone to believe it is anything but a copy with a "SINGLE USER" license where the terms don't preclude installing over Tiger.
    C. 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.*
    The emphasis above is mine.
    While this may not be enforced by a software key, it is there in the license agreement on the PDF included on the CD, when you purchase the under $100 licenses, which are also called "Upgrade" on the store.
    There's an opinion that "Leopard upgrade" only applies to the "Up To Date" versions that require proof of purchase of a recent Mac computer. The reports on those installer discs are that they do in fact check for a valid Leopard installation.
    The following has the most in-depth discussion on the subject of whether or not the license allows for Snow Leopard over Tiger that I've seen so far:
    http://www.mackb.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/mac/26361/the-29-purchase-price-of-Snow-Leop ard
    This is the best description I've heard on it, from someone who identifies himself as "David Empson":
    http://www.mackb.com/Uwe/Threads/Single.aspx/mac/26361?ArtId=1j5mofd.1pw6lllbtpj dwN%25dempson%40actrix.gen.nz
    If someone walks in and buys Snow Leopard, without written notice from
    Apple that they are buying an Upgrade version which requires Leopard,
    and without discussing that point with the seller, the buyer is under no
    obligation to have researched their purchase in advance and know all of
    Apple's publicity statements from three months ago.
    They are buying it in good faith, and the contract (licence) is valid.

  • Missing Spaces and Time Machine dock icons (Tiger to Snow Leopard upgrade)

    I noticed on my MacBook (Leopard to Snow Leopard upgrade) that it has icons for Spaces and Time Machine in the dock to the left of the divider. These are missing from the dock on my iMac that I upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard. They are both System Preferences with no option for adding to the dock in the Preferences and the Preference icon in "Show All" in System Preferences is not selectable. I located them in System/Library/PreferencesPane but dragging the preference pane file to the dock doesn't work. I did a Show Package Content but did not see anything in the folder that could be dragged like an application. I can put it on the right with the stacks but is there a way to add a Preference to the dock on the application side?

    Time Machine is in your Applications folder and Spaces is in your Applications/Utilities folder. You can drag them to the dock from there.

  • Can I upgrade from osx tiger v10.4.11 to osx Snow Leopard v10.6 for 29$ ??

    I was wondering if I could upgrade from osx tiger v10.4.11 to osx Snow Leopard v10.6 for 29$ or at a lower cost than full price. I do not need to upgrade that much because 10.4.11 is so great and I hate to leave it. Paying the full price of an operating system does not make sense to me. Can I do it cheaply because I am upgrading?

    No.
    The $29 upgrade is from leopard to Snow Leopard.

  • Can I Upgrade Directly From Tiger To Snow Leopard?

    I'm operating OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger) on a pre-2008 Macbook with an Intel processor. I'd like to upgrade to Snow Leopard.
    After doing a little research, I didn't see anything on the Snow Leopard packaging or on the Apple website which clearly states this, but can I upgrade directly to Snow Leopard? The Apple Store says Tiger users must buy the Mac Box Set (which includes iLife '09 and iWork '09). I really don't want to since I don't plan to use the features of iWork and can purchase iLife '09 separately.
    Basically, my question is, can I upgrade to Snow Leopard (using a Snow Leopard upgrade @ $29) and, if so, will my prior version of iLife still function or will I be forced to upgrade to iLife '09. I'd rather pay $95 for things I know I would use, compared to $170 for extra, unused software.

    "Snow Leopard Upgrade Requirements
    Snow Leopard requires an Intel-based Mac.
    Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard users, buy the upgrade.
    Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger users, buy the Mac Box Set."
    I don't think there is any technical limitation to installing a clean 10.6 "upgrade" on a compatible machine, running either 10.4 or 10.5, however, the 10.6 license, that buyers must agree with, relies on the "honor system" for compliance.
    I am about to upgrade my black MacBook to 10.6 with the Box Set, my Intel MacBook shipped with 10.4, one of the later models not long before 10.5 came out, and as I skipped 10.5, the 10.6 Box Set seems to be the only option, even though I am not interested in iWork so much.

  • Get new restore disks if Mac shipped with 10.4.x and Leopard upgrade DVD?

    Hi,
    I am new to the forum and I have searched the topics for quite some time but have not quite found an answer so please forgive any redundancy.
    I have a 9 month old MacBook Pro which shipped with a Leopard upgrade disk. I have tried to do a clean install using the 10.4 disk and then the upgrade disk again but I keep getting an error on install saying the disk is corrupted. I think it may have been scratched.
    I am wondering if there is a way to get a Leopard restore disk without purchasing a retail Leopard? When I called Apple the lady said she did not know and they would call me back in 48 hrs. I have not heard yet and am wondering if anyone has any experience with this. Thank you very much!

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response. I have tried repartitioning and zeroing the drive and I ran my TechTools Pro drive checker (which also repairs) to make sure it was not the drive. I am sure it means the disk and not the HD as well. I was hoping not to have to buy Leopard. One would think that if Apple already gave you Leopard once they should be able to give you newer restore disks. Anyway thank you very much for your input. If there are any other ideas I am all ears. Thank you!
    Sometimes a copy of a disk is "better" than a scratched or damaged original.
    You might copy the install disk. Copying reads and rereads marginal areas on disks and sometimes results in a disk that works when the original does not.
    It's worth a try.

  • Snow Leopard Upgrade on my lap top (tiger)

    Hi
    I just upgraded my macbook (tiger OS) to snow leopard. Everything is fine until I try to access a web page thru Safari, then it tells me I am not connected to the internet. There is a excalmation mark in my Airport icon in the bar at the top. When I click on that, it tells me that airport is 'on' but then below it alerts me to no internet connection. When I click on the airport icon, the exclamation mark disappears and the icon shows a full signal, but there is still no internet connection. Then it reverts back to the exclamation mark again.
    Can anyone help?

    Ok thank you for that. If I follow your line of reasoning, then the 802.11n is an old standard that is incompatible with the new snow leopard upgrade. Why then does my imac internet connection work fine? I gave it the same upgrade as the macbook- only difference was that the imac os was leopard, not tiger.Umm, I am confused because perhaps it is not the router (as the internet connection is working fine on the imac) but a setting on the macbook, is that a possibility?

  • Full System Restore with Snow Leopard Upgrade DVD

    I'm trying to do a full system restore to go from OS 10.6.4 back to 10.6.3, can I do the full restore with the Snow Leopard Upgrade DVD, or do I need the original Installation DVD that came with my computer?
    Thanks.

  • What are all the possible upgrade paths from Tiger to Snow Leopard?

    What is are all the ways to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard?
    Can I buy the 29.00 Snow Leopard upgrade? Or is my only path forward to do the Snow Leopard box set for Tiger? I know my model isn't support but this is a question about the upgrade path from Tiger to Snow Leopard.
    Thanks in advance.
    Todd

    I have a Power PC dual 2 gig G5 running OS X 10.4.10. I know at some point that Leopard will not support the power PC platform, but I also know I probably will have one more upgrade path before my computer is no longer supported. I have not upgraded because My machine runs perfect. But I also know that a lot of my software will not run when I upgrade. Pro Tools, Maya,Mocha, various plug ins for Pro Tools. What path should I take to my final upgrade to the latest OS?
    Thanks in advance

  • Leopard Upgrade/Install Fails and Fails Miserably

    Normally, I love my Mac. It's a Dual G5 PowerMac. I've owned Macs forever. Usually, I don't have any problems. Until now.
    Here's my story:
    My HD failed the Sat. before Xmas. I had my computer backuped to an external firewire drive, so I wasn't too worried. I got two SATA drives and replaced my single internal drive with a RAID 1 pair. Autobackup now. Simple. I restored the backup to the mac and everything was running smoothly under Tiger.
    I got the Leopard Upgrade for Xmas and went to install in on New Year's day. My computer still isn't working.
    I booted it up from the DVD and let it run through the DVD check. Everything was fine. I went in and, even though I knew better, I just told the installer to upgrade the current OS folder. THat got almost all the way through when I got a rather harsh, "THERE WAS SOME ERROR INSTALLING ESPON STUFF. INSTALLATION FAILED." warning. What's odd is that I don't have an Epson printer.
    I rebooted and tried a clean install, copying over my directory and network settings. Well, that sort of worked. I got into the desktop, but my folder/network stuff hadn't copied, and many control panels would crash the "system settings" program.
    I gave up, rebooted back into Tiger from my external HD, and restored the RAID pair back to Tiger. I then tried installing Leopard again, a clean install this time. Again, I got to the "Epson" error and had to bail.
    I then restored and tried again.
    It got to about "9 minutes reamining" and sat there for several hours before I gave up and reimaged the HD. Again.
    That was this AM. I tried to install Leopard straight away with a clean install, pulling over my folders/network stuff. When I left for work, it was sitting at "14 minutes remaining..." When I got home, it's sitting at, "14 Minutes remaining..."
    I'm seriously at my wit's end here, and I'm ready to throw the install DVD at a Genius at the Genius Bar...
    What's going on and why won't Leopard install correctly on my machine?
    Thanks!

    I've read many reports that say there are problems with Leopard installing to a raid that was created with older versions of Disk Utility.
    "The only workaround was to do a fresh install of Leopard on my external FireWire HD, transfer all data using the Migration Assistant, erase the RAID and recreate it with the latest Apple RAID software, install Leopard on the new RAID, and finally transfer the data from the FireWire HD with the Migration Assistant. This took a lot of time, but it worked and Leopard is running fine on my RAID, and the machine looks as if I did a straight upgrade."
    I busted my raid apart when installing Leopard Server because of all the problems I had been reading about. It hadn't occurred to me that the raid should have to be set up with the Leopard DVD...

  • Can't Print After Snow Leopard Upgrade

    I have a home network centered around an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station. The base station is wired to a Linksys network switch which, in turn, is wired to two computers - an Apple Dual G5 running OS X 10.4.11 and a and Mac MIni which, until yesterday was running Leopard. I have an HP Laserjet P1006 connected to the USB port of the AEBS and, until yesterday, everything worked fine. Yesterday, I ran the Snow Leopard Upgrade on my Mini and now the Mini won't print to the HP over the network. If I connect the printer directly to the MIni, it works fine; as soon as I reconnect the printer to the AEBS, the Mini will no longer print. The lights on the printer will flash but nothing comes out. I have downloaded the HP Printer driver update from Apple but this didn't help. I have reset the AEBS, to no avail. The G5 running Tiger has no problems with printing. And, my daughter just got a brand-new MacBook Pro loaded with Snow Leopard from the factory and she can print to the HP over the network without any problems.
    Any ideas?

    When I upgraded iMac from Leopard to Snow Leopard 10.6 it also stopped printing wirelessly to Brother MFC6490CW.
    I thought I had this same issue with my Epson printer when wireless printing. Actually, in SL, wireless printing is very slow at least with an Epson. Takes about 5 minutes or so for wireless print to even start. When checking the printing status app, it will start out saying "printer ready." Then after a few minutes it will say "looking for printer." A few minutes later it will say "printing."
    When I go into the next room where the printer is, the green light is "flashing" letting me know that "printing" has started.
    So I guess what I am trying to say is to check the printing status app after you click "print." It's possible "Brother" is just as slow as "Epson."
