Leopard vs Leopard Server

I'm interested in learning Mac Server and Mac development. I have a G5 iMac with OS 10.5.8 installed, but I didn't get the OS installation disk with the computer (used off of eBay). Therefore, I need the disk to install the developer tools (Xcode, etc.) and for a backup, and I thought the server edition would be an attractive option IF it includes the developer tools. Does it? How about the other desktop apps? Thanks, Rick

Except for the various additional tools required for operating a server, OS X Server is the same as OS X and includes XCode Tools.
However, I don't think Apple sells Leopard Server any longer. You would have to call AppleCare to find out if copies are available for sale. The price would be expensive as the server edition is around $500.00. The client version, however, is $129.00

Possible to change color depth for Leopard's VNC server?

I think it is very nice to include vnc server right into Leopard. But one problem, it seems it will only accept connection from clients when it is set to use full colors. This is painfully slow over WAN, any way to change the requirement from the server end?

Possible to change color depth for Leopard's VNC server?
Yes you can modify your screen sharing application so that you can adjust the colour depth. However you need to issue a command in the terminal to get this to work.

Leopard Software Update Server + Client

Hello,
Now I have to use Mac OS X Tiger Server Software Update Server and OSX Tiger Client.
After installing OS X Tiger Server software update, I turned on the server and on apdaty do I download and have been prepared. OS X Tiger has found his client software update server, and everything worked.
Now I have OS X Leopard and Leopard Server Client.
Purely installed server and client purely installed. The server is running the server software update is downloaded updates. Leopard Client still download updates from the Internet and not from the local network and I do not know where the error. Why in the older version of all work without interference with the terminal and not now? Can someone please help me set the software update server to the client computers may not have anything set up and found this site automatically.
Thank you
I apologize for my incorrect English

The Tiger systems must have some form of customization. SWU is not an auto-discover service. If you have one of the Tiger systems still available, enter both of these commands and report the results:
defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate
defaults read /Users/<adminusername>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate
Does either of the results return the custom CatalogURL value? If not, then look in NetInfo Manager and look at your MCX values. There may have been a managed preference set for all systems. However, if Tiger systems are not bound that this is not possible unless an niutil command was run to insert the value.
Also, keep in mind that if your Leopard systems are not bound to OD, and you have Apple Remote Desktop, you can use a Send Unix command and hit all of your systems in a matter of seconds. It is really rather trivial.
Also, were your Tiger machines imaged from a DMG or a NetInstall Server? It is possible that the SWU custom address was set in the master image. This is why it appears to "just work."

Sharepoint migration across to Leopard 10.5 server

I'm currently running an Xserve Dual G5 and Apple 3.7 TB RAID which contains all the sharepoints etc. It's currently running 10.4.10 and am about to upgrade it to Leopard 10.5 server. My question is: Are the sharepoints retained in the upgrade, or do I have to re-configure quite a complex sharepoint setup? I hope this not the case, surely apple wouldn't be that destructive in a upgrade path. I can't seem to find any clear answer to this question.
Any answers would be much appreciated.

Yes, it's entirely possible. Check the logs for your user's connection - it may indicate whether the problem is one of authentication (authentication failed messages) or network (no activity at all).

Leopard or Leopard Server??

I have a question on if I should use Leopard or Leopard Server. Here's the situation:
This is for my house, which is 100% Mac based. We have 4 adults and 1 child all of whom have their own Mac laptop. Two of the adults have a desktop Mac as well. Three of the adults have iPhones, and there is one iPod touch as well. We have an Apple TV in the living room, and two Xbox 360's as well as a PS3.
Currently we have a spare Linux laptop acting as a media server feeding the PS3 and X360's, and the Apple TV is fed by my iMac from a dedicated user account. All the computers are authorized in my iTunes account so media can be freely moved between them. Content comes from iTunes, my own DVD ripping and various "online sources".
My goal is to end up with a central media store to house all the content that can then be played back by all the devices. I have the media encoding side handled by Handbrake and it works well, so this is more of a where to put the files/control access issue. My second goal is to have a central Software Update repository as its getting annoying downloading 768MB updates 5 times.
I recently acquired a 20" iMac G5 1.83GHz with 2GB RAM. I think this machine will be fine for handling the server duties. So my main question is should I use Leopard or Leopard Server, and why? Of course, if there any other suggestions to the setup, I'm all ears as we all like to tinker around here.
I look forward to hearing some ideas on this, as I assume I'm fairly far to the extreme side of using our Macs. lol.

I personally use a Mac mini running retail Mac OS X Leopard. I use it as a backup server, EyeTV capture system, runs my Dynamic DNS updating utility, etc.... Once I configured it with Screen Sharing enabled, I removed the keyboard, Mouse, and Monitor and manage it totally from my MacBook via Screen Sharing.
A Retail Mac OS X Leopard installation is allowed to have up to 10 clients for things like file sharing.
What Mac OS X Server gives you is a server management interface that makes it easy to setup a mail server, DNS server, VPN server, an unlimited number of clients, etc...
But I do not need all those things, so a retail Mac OS X Leopard system is more than good enough for me.

Can I install Mac OS X Leopard (not the server version) on a Xserve?

Hi all.
Can I install Mac OS X Leopard (not the server version) on a Xserve and run BootCamp (to use Windows), and other Mac applications like FileMaker, Toast, iWork, e.g.?
Thanks in advance.

Can I install Mac OS X Leopard (not the server version) on a Xserve
Yes, but some functions may not work as intended. See here for some information; all Mac OS X 10.5 installations are universal binary.
and run BootCamp (to use Windows)
Probably not. Use a program such as Parallels Desktop.
and other Mac applications like FileMaker, Toast, iWork, e.g.?
Yes.

Moving your mail, saved mail and all other things from Leopard to Leopard??

I Have a MBP and just bought a iMac, both with leopard on them and I am having the hardest time trying to find a simple way to just bring what I have over in the mail program that comes with leopard to my iMac. There has to be a way to just bring that over to my new mail program. I can get the account settings, I just cannot get all the emails in the inbox or the folders that I have created. They have to be somewhere??? Please help if you can.
Thanks
Mike

I'm having the same trouble however I'm trying to do it from Leopard client to Server. This seems to be more difficult. In the past when I've moved from one mac to another, I simply copy my userfolder/Library over to the new machine and it all comes over nicely.
This does not happen on a Server. If anybody else can make any suggestions. I've got tons of saved mail on my old mac that I need to keep.

Macbook 2006 upgrade to Leopard, Snow Leopard, or Lion?

I own a white Macbook pro 2006 core 2 duo OS x 10.4 tiger. More than anything, I want to update this computer. Is there any possible way to upgrade to leopard, snow leopard, or lion?

You can upgrade from 10.4 to10.6 with no problems. Any program that runs under 10.4 will run under 10.6. You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any Power PC applications http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/ I recently upgraded an older Core Duo MacBook (1,1) from 10.4 to 10.6. If you only want iPhoto or other single apps from iLife '11 you can get them from the App Store after you've upgraded to 10.6.6. iPhoto, iMovie or Garage Bandfor $15 each and Pages, Keynote or Numbers from iWork '09 for $20 each.
You can order a Snow Leopard10.6 install disk for $29 as long as you have at least1gb of RAM and 5gb offree space on your hard drive. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
A 10.5 Leopard disk willrun you over $100
Once you are at 10.6.8 you can buy Lion from the App Store if you have at least a model 2,1 MacBook. Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly. Also Lion doesn't run any PowerPC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. WhenSystem Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need an application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With10.7 Lion Apple dropped support for Power PC applications.

Mountain Lion won't install on 10.7.4. Suggestion from Apple is to completely erase harddisk and install Leopard Snow Leopard Mountain Lion. Is there no other way to install Mountain Lion

Mountain Lion won't install on 10.7.4. Suggestion from Apple is to completely erase the harddisk and install Leopard > Snow Leopard > Mountain Lion.
Is there no other way to install Mountain Lion?

I tried and failed for several hours to install Mountain Lion, and was repeatedly getting the "Recovery System" cannot be created error. I tried all the tricks: resizing the drive partition, booting from an external boot drive, all to no avail. After reading other users struggling with the same issue, I had determined it to be a boot camp drive error. However, I didn't want to have to erase and begin anew when I came upon a possible solution. I had long ago renamed my boot camp drive with a "." (".windows" for me) in order to avoid having the partition show up on my desktop. So, I boot into windows and renamed the c: drive without the "." ("windows"), and reboot into os x. The install then went off without a hitch. I hope this will be helpful for others struggling with this issue that may have renamed their boot camp drives in a similar manner.

Leopard to Leopard Network Shares Not Working

I see numerous threads about Leopard shares and Windows. However, I do not see any threads about issues with Leopard to Leopard shares. I have three Macs in the house and one Windows XP box. The Windows XP box works perfectly fine seeing and sharing with all the Leopard machines. The issue is, my PPC Mac mini, C2D MacBook Pro, and C2D MacBook are not playing nice with each other.
Here is the setup:
PPC Mac Mini running Leopard has a FW External Drive connected to it and is connected wired.
C2D MacBook and C2D MacBook Pro are connected via airport on a 2Wire Gateway/Router my ISP provides.
I setup to share specific folders on the internal Mac mini HD and the root FW drive connected to it. When trying to connect on either MacBook or MacBook Pro, I do not have permissions for the users setup on the PPC Mac mini. When I go back to check the settings on the Mac mini, Leopard is not keeping all of the shared folder settings and I have to continually re-add them only to have the same thing happen again.
Am I losing my mind or is this a major bug with Leopard? Is there any way to successfully share out drives to individual users on the network?

Same issue; I share my Documents folder and everyone can see the folders below it but have NO access ot most of the sub folders (the minus symbol). The one exception is a folder "Civilization IV Demo";
Permissions:
Documents (MAIN FOLDER):
tpfannes(ME) read and write
everyone read and write
Sub folders (sub folders under Documents)
Civilization IV Demo (works):
tpfannes(ME) read and write
everyone read only
staff read only
Data Folder (No workie)
tpfannes(ME) read and write
everyone no access
I did a erase and install with Leopard and restored the files from a backup using Apples Backup utility.
I could probably get to a terminal window and modify permissiosn these via. chmod but I'm not all that comfortable with that.
Any ideas????

How can i run snow leopard and leopard in my mac?

how can i run snow leopard and leopard in my mac?

First, your Mac model must be able to run Leopard. Second, you would have to partition your hard drive to create a second volume then install Leopard on the new volume using a Leopard installer DVD.

Anyone using a mini as a Leopard-Snow Leopard dual boot?

I have Leopard (10.5.8) and Snow Leopard (10.6.4) installed on my mini for dual booting, and when I reboot from Snow Leopard into Leopard, the video card output is completely distorted. I have to restart a second time in Leopard to resolve this.
Anyone else using a Leopard-Snow Leopard mini and are you having/not having display problems?
Note this might be specific to Snow Leopard 10.6.4.

A strange thing happened. When using Snow Leopard, I opened the desktop folder for the Leopard volume in icon view and moved some of the icons around.
Then when I rebooted into Leopard the display problem didn't happen (although there was still some weirdness with the blue screen being chopped up during bootup). I found all the icons on my Leopard desktop were de-arranged. I started manually rearranging them and then did "Clean Up Selection" on some, and the display problem suddenly occurred.
So this is looking like it might be something to do with the DS_Store file. My theory:
1. Snow Leopard does something to the video ROM that either:
— A. requires some new DS_Store format, or
— B. is just buggy with certain complex DS_Store data (note that I have ~100 icons on the Leopard desktop, carefully arranged and colored)
2. When I rearranged the icons in Snow Leopard, this either:
— A. wrote a Snow Leopard-style DS_Store file for the Leopard desktop, or
— B. just wrote a simpler DS_Store file that didn't have the problem complex data
3. Then back in Leopard when I fiddled with the icons, this wrote a new DS_Store file (either older Leopard format, or just more complex)
4. The video card was still in "Snow Leopard mode" at this point as I hadn't rebooted Leopard a second time, so the desktop display went distorted as soon as the new DS_Store file went into effect.
5. For some reason Leopard will write over the bad/new settings Snow Leopard writes to the video ROM, but only on the second restart.

How do I upgrade to snow leopard from leopard if I don't have the Mac App Store?

How do I upgrade to snow leopard from leopard if I don't have the Mac App Store?

It has never been on the MAS. It's never been a download anywhere (except, maybe, as a pirated version on a torrent, which, along with being "free," will probably bring along some nice malware.) It has always been a DVD, which may be possible to obtain by calling Apple and asking for Phone Sales. Should stlll only be $29.

Upgrade from 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard without Leopard?

I'm trying to upgrade from OS X 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard. (At this point it's been such a headache that I don't even care about Lion.) If I've read correctly, I need to first upgrade to OS X 10.5 Leopard. The only problem is that I can't seem to find it anywhere on the Apple site. I even searched for the Mac Box Set that included Leopard, Snow Leopard, and iLife and can't find it either. I went to an Apple store today and they didn't even Snow Leopard on the shelf. Anyone know how I can get from 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard? Do I still need to go to Leopard first? I tried looking at the requirements/tech specs for the Snow Leopard install disc in the online store, but that link takes me straight to the tech specs for Lion. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,
If I've read correctly, I need to first upgrade to OS X 10.5 Leopard.
You read correctly, but that info isn't correct, if your Mac can hadle 10.6 then the $29 Disc will install on 10.4.x...
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
It looks like they do still have Snow Leopard:

If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.
