Leopard wont install - Software version issue

So a family asked to install Leopard onto a Macbook. It was running the highest software on Tiger possible. I think it was 10.4.4. Not to sure on that. I tried to install, it stopped said it didnt find high enough software level and that it required 10.4.*
I checked the computer it was exactly on the level it said required for the installation.
What can I do?

The DropIn Leopard disc will only work on Macs that shipped new October 8 to October 26, 2007.
The gray Leopard disc will only work with the Mac that it shipped with.
To upgrade your Mac to Leopard, you'll need Leopard retail which looks like * and does not say Upgrade, DropIn, or OEM.
Any further questions, which do not help Mxf solve their problems should be posted as a new topic at the link below:

You'll get a wider audience and won't confuse Mxf with solutions that don't apply to them.

Trying backup and install software version 7.0 Bundle 2416

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
RIM is constantly changing, due to many many reasons (some of which are licensing), the compatible PIMs for the Desktop Software. I've no idea what prior version supported CardScan, but the current KB regarding compatibility is here:
KB12268Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Software for Windows for synchronization
You can find some older versions of the Desktop Software in this archive:

Good luck!

Leopard wont install

Hi, I have a friend who works in retail and he got me a copy of Leopard last night. So I tried to install it last night, and everything was working fine up until after the installation process was complete and it asked me to restart. So I did and my computer never booted up, it just stayed on the grey screen with the apple logo for 30 minutes. I tried restarting over and over again but nothing changed.
I have a G5 iMac, with about 200 GBs of free space, 2GB of RAM, and had 10.4.10 installed. Why wont my computer boot up? Thanks in advance.

I'm strongly suspicious about this.
First off Leopard is not his to "give" without payment (if that's what he did). It is licensed software.
Secondly, if it doesn't look anything like http://www.apple.com/macosx/ logo on the disk, I suspect it is an illegal rip off some source of an older copy, and your friend basically installed what is a beta version of the software, and why it won't boot.
Have your friend fix the situation, since he was the one who wanted to install it before its time. It is not available for release until tomorrow.
Something doesn't sound right. Visit http://www.apple.com/legal/ if you suspect any foul play.

Leopard wont install at all!

I had no problem with my PowerBook, but my iMc just wont have it. "OSX cannot be installed on this computer". is the error message. Software up to date, 15 Gs spare space and nothing non-apple conected. Help! Any ideas.
Colin

Your previous post states:
+"I partitioned the disk( GUID partition table) and installed leopard."+
Therein lies your problem. You cannot install 10.5 on a GUID partition on a PPC Mac (or, at least you can't boot from one). You are using the wrong partition type. You need to use an "APM" partition on a PPC Mac and a GUID partition on an Intel Mac.

IDVD wont open-- software update issues

Im having issues with the iDVD application. I click it open, and it bounces on the dock, but then it freezes. I cant open an existing DVD project directly, or through opening the application first. I thought it might need a software updated (its version 6.0.4) but when I downloaded the new version (7) the software package said there wasnt an eligible application found.
Help?
I need to burn a project
(And I'm on Macbook)

Hi
Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
• Program miss-match: iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match: iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match: iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
iDVD pref file resides: Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named: com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.

New 5th generation ipod wont install software and is now stuck in recovery mode

I just received a 32 GB iPod touch 5th generation for Christmas today. I installed the newest version of itunes, backed up my former iPod to the computer and then plugged in the new one to add the software and restore it from the back up. After the 3 hours of installing the software was almost done it said an unknown error ocurred. Now my new iPod is stuck in recovery mode and won't get past restoring the iPod. I have tried to go through it several times now. I really want to get this working, but I don't know what to do anymore.

The problem is that it stops restoring. I go throught the recovery stage to restore it and not even a quarter of the way through it comes up with the message that an unknown error has occured. Every time i connect it to iTunes it tells me that it has detected an iPod in recovery mode.

Installing Upgrade version issues

I installed Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro upgrade version on my computer last year. I had an old versin of Acrobat 6.0 standard that was previously loaded. That computer died a horrible death last week and I had to finally buy a new one to replace it. The issue is the newer Acrobat 9 will not install unless there is an older version present. I tried to install the old Acrobat 6 but Windows 7 Home Premium gives me error messages stating it is not compatible. Any suggestions on how to get Acrobat 9 installed? Thanks

The answer is likely very much the same as here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/943303?tstart=0. I also shortly explained how to manually add those registry keys not so long ago, but this forum is so noisy/ busy, I can't seem to find my own posts again... If you do a little digging, they should turn up.

I got this automated updated from BB which installed Software Version 6.0 Bundle 2342 yesterday. Now I am facing following issues

The backup file size was 900KB with earlier version and it has been increased to 3700KB after this software version installation
Can anyone please help is this

My assumption is that since you're not on the Verizon network currently and you don't have access to the network, you can't OTA the update.
And since you don't have the USB data cable, you won't be able to connect your phone to your computer to update. My best suggestion... Get a data cable. There should be someplace nearby you in Germany where you can get an inexpensive data cable.
Then go about backing up your phone with the desktop manager and then update via the DM as well.
No, you can't be on TV.
Yes, this camera is heavy..
Go bother the reporter...I'm busy!!

Problems With iPhone after updating to Software Version 1.0.1

I recently installed software version 1.0.1 and my iphone has had problems ever since. problems i have noticed is that when you press the lock button it takes about 2 seconds to respond, the same goes for when i try to unlock the phone. I have also noticed that when im making a call the screen freezes. I have tried restarting it through itunes and it still gives me problems...

I would recommend doing a reset of the iPhone, and perhaps a restore. If it continues to do that, call Apple for support.
