Logging out behaviour after installing leopard

I believe that before I installed the Leopard upgrade when I would log out of one account on my machine and nothing was running, the system would just log off the account without prompting me and return the to the login screen.
After installing Leopard it seems to me that whether or not something is running the OS prompts me if I want to close all applications and continue logging out.
Is this a new behaviour of Leopard or is there something running in the background that I don't know about?
thanks

To be honest, I can't be completely certain how things were in Tiger since I have always used ⌥⇧⌘Q to log out immediately (assuming there aren't any unsaved changes), but the existence of both options suggests to me that the dialogue was always there. Maybe the wording was different, but I don't think the behaviour has changed...

Problem with chess after installing Leopard

The other week I did an Archive and Install of Leopard on my MacBookPro running Tiger. Several applications failed to work following the install and this has been solved by downloading new versions. Although chess seems to be more problematic. Every time I launch chess I just get a message saying that chess has unexpectedly quit. However this behaviour is starting to become expectable. I have read other posts reporting similar problems after installing Leopard however they are able to play a couple of moves before it quits. For me chess does not even launch.
I have tried trashing the preference file, creating and using a new user account, and copying chess from another computer. The copied application just states that I can not use chess with this version of OSX.
Does anyone have any ideas as I really do not want to have to reinstall Leopard just for a application I only use when very bored (which is surprisingly often).
Thanks for any help you can give.
Chuck

Thanks for pointing out that app. Very useful indeed.
I have deleted my copy of chess and reinstalled a new copy from the OSX Leopard install disk and it still fails to launch.
Any other ideas?

Only showing wallpaper after installing Leopard

After installing leopard, I log in and I see my hard drive and applications for about 5 seconds and then everything disappears. I hooked it up to another Mac with firewire and checked to see if ApplicationEnhancer.bundle was there and it isn't. The other login on my computer works. Please help!

So, you're implying that the other account is not an admin account, but not saying. Then, I'm unsure if this will work. Anyway, log into the good, nonadmin account, select System Preferences->Accounts->click on the lock, enter the admin username/password combo if an authentication window pops up. If that works, then create a new admin user account with a unique username/password combo, click on the lock, and log out and into the new account. If that works, report back.

My external drive went dead after installing Leopard

Hey guys
I'm very bummed out, my external HD went dead after installing Leopard on my Dual 2.3 GHz PowerPC G5. It was working perfectly fine before, had not a single problem with it but now, I've just lost all my work. I tried Disk Utility from the disc with no luck, it gave tons of errors and it say it couldn't be repaired. Now, it doesn't show up at all. Every single time I connect it I get a message saying the disk I inserted is not readable by the computer. This is a 200GB Maxtor external drive. Is there anything I can do to fix it? Any hardcore Software to retrieve my files? I'd appreciate if anyone can help me with this.
Thank you in advance

Movies are currently a one time download. Because of this, it is your responsibility to back them up so when something like this happens, you can simply copy them over the new drive.
You can't download them again with purchasing once again.

ITunes keeps unexpectedly quitting after installing Leopard

After installing Leopard, iTunes keeps unexpectedly quitting? I've tried recreating the iTunes library with no help.

i had the same problem. finally i found out what was going wrong. it was the digi core audio extension that messed up my itunes. so if you are using pro-tools you should have a look into this possibility.
if not you might want to try and remove any non-apple audio extension and see what happens. don't trash them as you might be able to pin point the problem to only one extension.

Error Messages After Installing Leopard 2

After installing Leopard from the Install DVD, I used Software Update to update to 10.5.1, and updated QuickTime, etc. I also ran Cocktail, the Leopard edition. The Hard Drive checked out OK. When I ran Repair Permissions in Disk Utility, I got a number of error messages. One set starts like this: "Warning SUID file "System/Library/Private Frameworks/DiskManagement.framework/Versions/A/Resources/DiskManagementTool" has been modified and will not be repaired."
There are a number of messages like this. What shall I do?

Download and install this update, even though you've already updated.

Can't get past setup assistant after installing leopard...

i am having trouble getting past the setup assistant after installing leopard on my other computer which is a 1.25 ghz G4 desktop. Everything seems to be going fine then the setup assistant comes up and i go through the exercise of filling it out and at the end it says click on done and then you can use the computer. unfortunately it goes right back into the setup assistant like i had never gone there before. it is in some kind of loop. would it be wise to reinstall leopard? if so, does it know that it was installed already and rewrite over the first install? or is there something else i may try. i tried resetting the PRAM and some other things recommended but nothing seems to work. any help will be appreciated.
thanks in advance...

mr_magicman,
I can imagine how frustrating this must be for you. It sounds like you went for the (default) Upgrade option.
Okay, how about trying this:
1. With the *OS X 10.5 Install Disk 1* still in the bay, Restart your computer. Without access to menus, you'll have to use the power switch to turn it off. +[Alternatively, if you do have access to menus, select the Restart command (in the Apple menu) — always the preferred method.]+
2. If you're using the power switch method, here, wait about 10 - 15 seconds then depress the power switch again for about 5 full seconds (or until you hear the computer come back to life). +[Alternatively, if you had selected the Restart command in Step 1, the computer will start up again on its own.]+ *Either way, as the computer starts up, press and keep pressing, the Mouse until the disk ejects.* By the way, if you're using a Mighty Mouse with a left and right option, press down on the left side only. Hopefully this will get you out of the loop caused by your Install DVD remaining in the drive.
Finally, to be fair to you, I must tell you that there's a more suitable Forum for your particular kind of problem, viz., *Installation and Setup* (http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1219) I recommend you check out the questions/answers in that Forum in case your question has already been asked and answered.
PS. If you do re-post your question in that Forum, don't forget to mention whether or not you internal hard disk has been backed up.
GOOD LUCK!
Bill

Problems hotsynching addresses after installing Leopard

I've had no problem synching my Tungsten E2 before, but after installing Leopard on my MacBook, the addresses are no longer synching either from my Mac to my handheld or vice versa. The calendar seems to be synching just fine. There's nothing wrong with my conduit setting and the messages tell me the synch "has worked" but obviously it hasn't--there's no changes in either address book. I have addresses both on the computer and the handheld now which don't exist on the other, so I don't want to do a complete override.
I called Palm Tech support and plunked down my $14.95 and the woman there could only tell me to check my conduit settings, something I had already done. No help there.
Also, there are some addresses that are more up to date and correct on one device or on the computer and I can't figure out how to compare the two so I can choose the most recent changes to be the "master."
I'd love any help you can give me. the first problem, obviously is more pressing!
Thanks, Laura
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

Same here with a Centro/ palm phone from Verizon. It's picking up the phone numbers, but leaving nothing for the addresses. It was working fine with synching both addresses and numbers, but it seems like after the latest update, it dropped the addresses. Will be searching other forums for an answer. Using a MacBook Pro with 10.5.5. (Although registering for this forum I could only chose 10.4 as my operating system. Come on Palm... you do know Apple has released a new OS, don't you?)

Why would hard disc crash after installing Leopard?

Shortly after installing Leopard on my Macbook, my hard drive crashed. I replaced the hard drive but the installation would not then complete because of an input/ output error (according to the log). The DVD installation disc is OK according to First Aid and there are no marks on the surface of the disc. The DVD drive appears to read other discs OK according toe First Aid.
Why would the hard drive crash and why will Leopard not install?

You could also check the connections to the new HD. Even if the connectors appear to be fully inserted, check for physical problems such as impacted pins, (ones that are bent or pushed back into the connector body) which won't make full contact. Check also for signs of sharp bending in the connector ribbon which may indicate a damaged or broken core.

Sites I visit most often won't work immediately after installing Leopard

Immediately after installing Leopard the three sites I visit most often won't pull up at all. They just show an error as if the MacBook isn't connected to the internet.
Other sites pull up fine.
These three sites I am trying to visit pull up fine on other computers.
These three sites won't work regardless of what wireless network I'm on.
The problem is exactly the same between Firefox and Safair.
What suggestions do you have or where can I start?
Thanks a ton guys

Figured it out. I have a program called SelfControl that helps block sites that you find yourself killing a lot of time on. Well after the update it appears that it was somehow activated and thus wouldn't allow those sites to come through. Unique problem.
All fixed now.

Loop when loading after installing leopard

After installing leopard, my computer is not loading properly.
I can log in, the dock opens but then a window pops up saying "None of your preferred networks are available", displaying other networks; however the spinning coloured wheel appears and I am unable to advance from here.
The dock however works OK, and I can open dashboard (but cant use widgets). Finder is also not yet open, but if I click on it on the dock its light turns on (it "opens") and the top bar opens up, showing standard menu options and the spotlight icon. However after this it also freezes (spinning wheel again).
I suspect there is a problem (loop?) loading AirPort, which is blocking other apps and Finder. The computer gets stuck. I already tried "fix permissions" and "fix disc" using utilities, and I tried logging in safe mode, but it freezes immediately after the dock shows, not even showing the top bar, even before the point it freezes in normal mode.
Does anyone know how I can get around this?
(I can also access my HD using networking if I am connected by cable).

I am having the exact same issue on my G5. It's been sitting there hung up on "none of your preferred networks are available" for 30 minutes now. I repaired permissions before installing, and I'm able to boot from the CD and re-check them - everything's OK. Anyone have any suggestions?

Disk permissions problem after installing Leopard

Hi!
I performed a Repair Permissions after installing Leopard. Firstly, I noticed that this procedure took a lot longer than before the upgrade. I also received the following error messages -

What does all this mean? How can I fix it?
Thanks.

You suggest I reinstall all of Leopard and then update to 10.5.1?
No. Download and install the standalone 10.51 updater without reinstalling the entire OS.
I found 2 Remote Desktop updates (Client and Admin) - version 3.2. Are these for Leopard?
Use the client version.
How will this help my problem?
Those are status messages. You don't have a problem.

Mistakenly canceled import of old mail after installing Leopard

The first time I opened Mail after installing Leopard, it began automatically populating with my old emails. I mistakenly hit cancel and now cannot figure out how to continue the process or find the old emails. I only see new mail and mailboxes in home/library/mail. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I agree that this could be the issue. But the problem is, Mail will not let me do anything about it. It gives me the dialog over and over because it is trying to do some background IMAP task (that it is unable to do) but does not stop trying to do it long enough for me to, say go into the preferences to change my account settings.
I can access the IMAP account from my web mail so this issue is something corrupted in Mail that it thinks it should be able to access but can't. If you catch my meaning.
Cheers,
Dan

After installing Leopard, my G4 will no longer boot in OS 9.22. (Classic still works, but I need it to boot in OS 9.) Any clues about what the Leopard installer might have done to my machine that rendered OS 9 boot unusable? What can I do to fix it?

After installing Leopard, my G4 will no longer boot in OS 9.22.
(Classic still works, but I need it to boot in OS 9.)
Any clues about what the Leopard installer might have done to my machine that rendered OS 9 boot unusable? (And what can I do to fix it?)
Details:
G4 Gigabit Ethernet
Boot ROM version: 4.2.8fl
Accelerator card added: 1.6 MHz
1.5 Gig Ram
I have erased the partition that had Leopard installed on it.
I zapped the pram.
In Open Firmware, I "reset-nvram", and then "reset-all"
I tried to reinstall G4 FW Update 4.2.8, but that must be done when booted from OS 9, and of course, that's the problem: it won't boot into 9.
I tried restarting from 9.2.1 DVD.
I tried restarting from an external firewire drive containing OS 9.2.2.
I tried moving a fresh OS 9.2.2 system folder into an empty partition on an internal hard drive. (Partition was created WITH OS 9 drivers installed.)
All attempts to boot into OS 9 give me the same results - grey screen - no spinning beach ball, no icons or logos - just a blank grey screen.
This machine still works fine in OS 10.3 and 10.4, and it worked fine for many years booting into OS 9, until I installed Leopard, and I haven't been able to boot into OS 9 since then, although I have done considerable research online and tried many things.
I have since learned that this machine does not support Leopard - 10.5. Fine, but how did it break 9.2.2?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks for checking in, BDAQua.
Problem solved.
In the docs that came with my Powerlogix accelerator card, I found this sentence buried:
"If you reset the PRAM, the NVRAM code for OS9 compatibility is cleared, so you will have to boot from the Firmawre Update CD and perform this process again in order to boot in OS9."
The "process" it's referring to is the process of setting up the NVRAM for booting into OS9 from the CD.
Fortunately, I was able to find the disk, and it worked as expected. I can now, once again boot into OS9.
Conclusion: My (unadvised) attempt to load Leopard on this old machine apparently reset the PRAM on the accelerator card and cleared the NVRAM code for OS9 boot. Although I did attempt to reset the NVRAM via Open Firmware, it did not reset it on the accelerator card.
So, thank you BDAQua, for your "Ah yes" . . . that's all I needed to steer me in the right direction.
Gratefully,
tupester

Why Mac Help doesn't work after installing Leopard?

After installing Leopard Mac Help shows a untitled window and after few seconds it disappear.

Actually no. I'm working on the same environment before installing Leopard. No firewall...but I'm working from China where a massive Great Firewall is controlled by the government. That case I shouldn't be the only one.
