Login "Loop" issue after upgrading to Leopard from Tiger-iBook G4

Hi Guys,
I've the same login "loop" issue as described in *Apple KB article #306965* only on an iBook G4, unfortunately the solution offered in the KB article does not help.
There is one slight variant being that the user desktop appears for a second or two after the blue screen following login before it returns (loops) to the login window. It happens on all (2) user accounts.
The interesting thing is it doesn't occur on either account when booting in 'safe mode'.
Apart from deleting these accounts and saving/transferring the data are there any other ideas, suggestions or solutions?
Regards,
BB

Did a clean install, cloned the HD with SuperDuper and then used Mig. Asst. to restore data back to the original HD. All now OK.
A & I was done in the initial upgrade from Tiger.
Cheers,
BB

  • Keyboard issues after upgrading to Leopard

    Seems there's been quite a bit of discussion about this topic already but it's been confined to laptops and I haven't seen a solution yet. I'm seeing the same problems on a desktop computer using either a wireless or USB keyboard.
    After upgrading to Leopard, my keyboard would occasionally stop responding to keystrokes. I have seen this happen on both an Apple USB keyboard and my Logitech wireless keyboard. With either keyboard, the letter and number keys would stop responding but keys like the CapsLock and Delete keys would still work. I have seen this happen when using Mac Office 2004 (Excel and Word) and Safari. With Excel, when the keyboard stops responding, if I click on a different cell, the keyboard comes back. I did update to 10.5.2 and I do have the latest version of the Logitech software but the problems still persist.
    Strangely, I have only seen this happen on my MacPro but NOT my MacBook. There is a difference on how each machine was upgraded to Leopard though. On my MacBook, I did a clean install of Leopard on a new hard drive and then migrated my docs and apps from the old drive. On my Mac Pro, I did an upgrade installation over Tiger. Fortunately, I cloned my hard drive prior to installing Leopard so going back is an option and so is doing a clean install followed by a migration which is what I did on my MacBook.
    Is there a fix for the keyboard problems? Am I going to have to downgrade back to Tiger?

    Thanks for posting this. I thought I was alone in the universe. I have the problem with my mini, which came with Leopard installed. The USB keyboard will stop working in Word or Entourage ('04) and I have to close and reopen the document to get the keyboard going again. Thankfully, my mouse still works when this happens, so I can use it to close and save.
    It seems to sometimes be triggered when I switch between applications, but I haven't been able to replicate it consistently. It is particularly bad when using find in Word. The find window will go dead and I have to close it and reopen it to do another search. (Though interestingly, I don't have to close the Word doc.)
    It's irritating.

  • LDAP issue after upgrading to SP15 from SP7 for CUP 5.3

    Hello,
    We have recently upgraded our Sandbox from SP 7 to SP15 on GRC 5.3 and Now having issues authenticating users using LDAP.
    The connections and settings are exactly same as our Dev system which in on SP7 and the connection also says successful but when we go onto the request page and type in an id it says invalid credentials.
    Am i missing something or is there a special procedure after upgrade .
    Thanks
    Uday

    Hello Frank,
    Thanks for the reply.I forgot to do it and as you said once i performed those steps it actually solved my password reset link issues as it was erroring out with 500 error and now  it is working fine .
    But to fix LDAP issue SAP has a note which says after SP13 we don't need to fill in the user path field while creating LDAP connector.
    Thanks

  • Issues after upgrading the Obiee from 10g to 11g

    Hi all,
    We have recently upgraded our rpd from 10g to 11g. And a part of Webcatlog is being upgraded. We observe issues with the upgraded reports.
    As the for the report prompts the script was taking lot of time. And the browser pop's a message either to 'stop' or 'continue'.
    The report is taking lot of time to run than the usual 10g environment. And the path BP1 is also applied for the 11g environment.
    Please suggest a troubleshoot method to overcome the issues with the upgraded reports.
    Thank you,

  • IPhoto problem after upgrading to Leopard from Panther

    I successfully (more or less) upgraded my 867 MHz G4 to Leopard from Panther earlier in the week. Now I find that every time I try to open iPhoto I get the message 'The application iPhoto quit unexpectedly.'
    I have repaired permissions, restarted the computer and run Software Update- all to no avail. Any suggestions from anyone?
    Anne

    Well thanks TD for your instant and helpful reply - looks as if I can't do anything except spend some more money for iLife as my iPhoto is version 2.0.1!!

    ====================================
    I have read about the new features in Leopard and would like to have them. At the same time I have read about dissatisfied user reviews about Leopard, mainly from non-Intel based Mac users. So I started this topic hoping to get an answer whether it is worthwhile for me to upgrade to Leopard as soon as possible, or wait til Apple releases more patches for Leopard to iron out the problems?

    Sorry about the complexity, but my purpose for the work I did, and the way I did it was to safely upgrade a nicely running Tiger installation to Leopard, with minimum downtime incase things went badly.
    The MBP internal drive that Apple uses is only 5400RPM and can't transfer data to boot the operating system or applications as fast as almost any drive in a PowerMac. Even with the ram maxed out, I was not getting all the performance from Tiger that a comparable PowerMac with the same CPU and video could get. Almost all modern PC's and Macs use 7200RPM (or faster) drives which can access and transfer data about 25% faster.
    I decided to install Leopard to an external FW800 drive. I used an external drive because I didn't want damage my perfectly good running Tiger installation on the Laptop. I used FW800 because it is presently the fasted port on the Mac that supports booting. eSATA cards are available, but none of them guarantee booting.
    I had already tested running applications from both drives by copying the WinXP hard drive file for Parallels and timing the launch from both drives. The external drive was at least 25% faster to boot Windows, and launch other large programs like Photoshop and GoLive.
    So, I bought a 500GB newerTechnology miniStack V3 FW800/USB2/eSATA drive. This covers all the bases, Mac and PC, and will be useful for many purposes over the coming years. Who knows, Apple may support booting from eSATA on my next Mac and this drive can run even faster.
    I installed Leopard to the new drive a couple of times. First, a clean install with none of my files transferred. This worked perfectly as far as all the hardware compatibility, and applications including TM worked perfectly.
    Then I installed Leopard again and imported my applications and settings. This led to a couple of problems that were fixed with a couple of software updates and I fine tuned TM to a degree.
    During the next 2 or 3 weeks, I only had to boot back to Tiger on the internal drive 3 times (out of the office).
    Once I had a seemingly nice running installation of Leopard with all the updates and Time Machine tested as working well, I decided to clone my old Tiger installation onto an older slower USB 2 drive by using SuperDuper. I booted off of the clone to make sure it was good to go and then set that drive off to the side. It will get used for other projects in a few months, so no money wasted.
    I installed Leopard onto the internal drive and imported my settings and files from the external drive. I made sure the system runs and the applications and files I need are available while out of the office.
    What I ended up with, is a significantly faster Mac when working in the office with a second monitor helping the workflow, and a fresh, tested Leopard installation running Parallels and WinXP while on the road. When I bring the laptop back in from a field visit I boot from the internal drive and run TM if there has been many changes, then reboot back onto the external drive to do my normal work. I only leave the office with this MBP a day or so a week, and do almost all of my production work at the office on the faster drive.
    Win/Win - if you need to spend money for an external drive, get the most out of it you can. In this case, I was also able to ensure that if my MBP is stolen, or hacked while in the field, my personal and financial records would not be on the Laptop.
    OK, fingers tired...

  • Upgrading to Leopard from Tiger on a G4 PowerBook

    I tried to upgrade my PowerBook G4 from Tiger to Leopard, but the install disk said that installation wasn't possible. Apparently, however, it managed to install at least part of the OS on my hard drive, because it lists 10.5 as an option when I go to the Startup Disk option.
    I'm also unable to reinstall Tiger on my hard drive, so I'm completely stuck. No OS will work for me.
    Any suggestions?

    What did the error message say, and when did it appear?

  • Upgrading to leopard from tiger help

    Im using a Macbook pro core duo with tiger OS, am I able to upgrade to Leopard OS with my Macbook Core2Duo install disks? or what can I do? I need to upgrade as soon as possible, but I dont have money actually till next month to buy a new install dvd..
    thanks for your help ^^

    Hi hujaboy;
    There was a program for those who bought their Macs during the month of Leopard's release to get it at a reduced price but that has long since expired. Now if you want Leopard you will have to purchase it.

  • Upgrading to Leopard from Tiger. Should I clean install, or is archiving ok

    I have the capability to backup up everything myself and clean install, but my only issue is...
    I'm running a couple of programs that could be...might be....cracked versions. And I'm also running my own copy of the CS3 Adobe Master Collection, which is a huge part of my work. I REALLY do not want to reinstall all these programs. Can these be backed up and copied over?
    I was going to just upgrade, but a friend of mine told me of LOADS of problems people have been having with doing that, so I need some advice on what way to do this.
    Also, I heard that if I'm going to run bootcamp, which i plan to, i have to setup it up as early as possible after I upgrade for some reason. is this true?
    -Chris

    My recommendation is to Erase and Install. It assures the lowest potential for problems. You can do an Archive and Install provided you take some precautions:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger, 4.6.2 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.
    Note that there is always the potential problem that some of your software may not be compatible with Leopard. I would check first because it's always a pain to have to go back. If I were you I would clone your current system to an external drive so if there are any problems you can simply boot from your clone and restore it.
    It's best to set up the Boot Camp partition on a drive that hasn't developed some fragmentation if the Windows partition is going to require a large chunk of the drive. However, Boot Camp will let you know if it isn't able to create the partition size you've requested, so it should not be a problem to create the partition on the drive.
    People will tell you lots of stories, but most do not understand the particulars of the individual situations. All they hear is "it didn't work" and whatever other horror story goes with it. Upgrade Installs and Archive and Installs can work and do work perfectly well provided that they are done right. Most users don't do it right. If it works they're just lucky.
    So here's the short story:
    1. Repair your hard drive and permissions.
    2. Clone your current system to an external Firewire drive.
    3. Test that the clone will boot your computer.
    4. Determine that your software is compatible. If not upgrade it or replace it.
    5. Decide which installation option you will use - Erase and Install, Archive and Install, Upgrade Install.
    6. Do the installation.
    In my opinion do not install a new operating system if your mission critical software is not compatible.

  • What to do prior to upgrading to Leopard from Tiger on an iMac G5

    So with the iphone coming and requiring 10.5 + i needed to up from my ancient tiger to leopard. I thought i'd get my parents mac mini too while i'm in the upgrade mode. I did the mac mini first so i could "test" on them in case of bad things....sure enough. errors, issues, and it said it must reformat. the cool thing was that my parents didn't really store anything on there so i went ahead with that. Now though I need to do the iMac G5 (mine), I'd really rather not have to reformat etc. but will if need be. i've copied my hd to an external and have a copy of everything (so i think).
    What else do i need to do in case or before I upgrade the OS?
    The leopard disc is 10.5.6 from the box set i got.

    Before a major upgrade:
    First: Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Second: Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    4.Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive.
    Source means the internal startup drive.
    Third: *Install the upgrade*
    For greater protection install the upgrade on the clone. If all is well then you can install the upgrade on your main drive.
    I would upgrade any third-party software for compatibility with the new OS X version prior to the upgrade.

  • + 2 hour upgrade to Leopard from Tiger on Brand New imac 20"

    Forgive my upcoming ignorance as this is my first Apple Computer and I know very little about Apple overall but I know a LOT about PCs and Windows.
    I just purchased an imac, 20" Intel 2ghz Core Duo, LAST NIGHT.
    From out of the box, to plugging in the computer and peripherals, to getting into Tiger for the first time and putting in the Leopard upgrade disk.
    Is 2+ hours normal to do this upgrade.. this upgrade took FOREVER. I've installed many operating systems on PCs, mind you I'm installing Windows but it's never taken me 2+ hours to install an Upgrade to an OS on a reasonably fast machine. I've installed / upgraded linux in less time.
    I can't believe this is normal and have some concern as to there being an Issue with the Combo Drive or something else?
    There's no lights to indicate disk activity or anything during the installation, this is something I'm quite used to in the PC world, to be able to tell if the computer is accessing the Hard Drive or the CD/DVD drive with little lights or even noise. The only noise I heard was scattered disk noises and a random spin up of the CD Drive every so often.
    The only visual indicator on the screen was the progress bar during the installation with a Time indicator that seemed to be having as much difficulty as I was in figuring how long this should take. Frequently it would jump from 1 hour 40 minutes to as much as 2 hours and 50 minutes estimating installation time.
    Any experts here have any insight on this? Is this normal? Am I missing something here... I would hate to endure another upgrade or install that will be this painful in the future.
    Thanks for your input and time on this!

    Ah yes, I remember 95, infact, I did install this version from floppy, it was 27 floppies if I remember correctly.... at least I was doing something if it took just as long, so I don't think that install was as agonizing as this. Thanks for the memories.
    C'mon though... what's up with not having any indication that the computer is doing anything at all while it's installing.... Couldn't apple make the little Apple logo on the front blink or something when there's disk activity. Seriously, I like that the Mac is quiet, but I don't like having to put my ear to the side of the case to hear if it's doing anything. If I hear the cd whiring or the disk crunching I have a good indication there's activity but through this whole process the CD only spun up in short spurts every so often.
    I was wondering if this install was recompiling kernals or doing something ... the time indicator bar as my only means to an estimated guage is very silly to me!
    I thought about that when I installed and even posted about those seemingly long times when nothing seems to be happening and cautioned the rush-hour crowd to be patient.
    I think I have an answer, but it may be stretching things: many Mac users, I have noticed don't like things like desktop items, even if it's only one or two. One did not even like the Dock and wanted it gone - not hidden as most of us set it, but gone. Finito! And for years there were only one-button mice available and no BSD under the hood. So I think this lack of information is only annoying to people like me who came recently from the PC world (and am still in it) but the Macophiles probably like those blank information-less screens. I do recall once that Apple ran an ad saying "Who cares about MHz, GHz GBs and such - it's the color (flavor?) that counts. Fortunately, Apple has come a long way from then and attracted people like myself who do care about what is under the hood.
    I suspect as more and more get involved in the BSD stuff and X11 and such, that these indicators will become more prevalent. At least I hope so.
    An obvious bug when using DU, in 10.5.1, however, is that when doing a verify, my odometer says 1 minute left for about 5 minutes and then backs up and says 13 minutes left and drops about 1 minute every few seconds. In 10.5.0 the barber pole spun for a long time with no information.
    Still, these are reasonably minor glitches and certainly not show-stoppers.
    All-in-all, I look at Leopard as a distinct improvement over Tiger in almost every area. I miss Sherlock - which is why I keep my bootable Tiger clones up-to-date and working properly.
    Interestingly, I have 3 Macs and 2 PCs and 5 Windows programs running on them.
    Contrary to what others say about Vista, I find it running quite boringly well on this MBP. It's the 64-bit version and I did have to find the network drivers on my own.

  • Can I upgrade to Leopard from Tiger OS x 10.4.11

    I am really clueless about this. Will I loose my usage of such programs as CS4, Lightroom 2, and other graphic programs. I am just not able to keep Tiger anymore, itunes has become a problem, can'tsync my ipad and so forth. Pls advise and is it simple to do?

    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store *but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753)*.
    When you upgrade the OS, do it via Archive & Install. See About the Archive and Install feature http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710 Be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings (you won't lose any passwords, etc.). Also, repair permissions before and after the install. All of you current apps will probably work, however, you may have to update some of them.

  • Looking to upgrade to Leopard from Panther; any thoughts?

    Hello to all, this is my second post, so please bear with me if it sounds silly:
    I have a late 2004 iMac Power PCG5, 20inch display, 1.8GHz, 2GB RAM, running Panther 10.3.9.
    I am looking to possibly buy a few iPhones for the wife and I and I know that system requirements are 10.4.1 or higher. Since I cannot get Tiger anymore, I need to buy Leopard.
    My computer runs smoothly, no problems, I have always kept up on software updates. Heck, we have only used like 30GB of the 160GB hard drive!
    My question(s)- has anyone experienced any problems doing this kind of jump from Panther to Leopard? Known issues? I really appreciate any and all input.... I would rather not have to buy a new computer just to simply get Leopard 10.5.
    I just would like to hear some reassurances or downsides before I spend $129 for Leopard.
    Thanks in advance,

    Drumfreak 68
    2nd post for me as well.I just installed leopard on my imac.I had the same type of concerns as you.My wife is a part time college teacher,very important I have no issues with upgrading OS. I spent 6 months reading these forums.I've learned so much.
    I upgraded to Leopard from tiger in the following manner.Every thing I did I read on these forums.
    I purchased 2 external hd. The first is a 1 TB with the plan to use as a time machine disk after transition.The 2nd was a 320g that I partioned in half.I cloned my internal hd to both external hds,using superduper {fantastic program for 27$] I installed Leopard on the 2nd partition of the 320 gig hd.I booted from and ran computer from both external tiger volumnes for about a week.I booted the computer from the Leopard partition of the 320 Ex. Hd.I ran the computer from the leopard partition for the same time frame.I ran every app, that I could think of that my family uses . I had no issues at all.When I was happy with everything,I then used superduper to clone my external leopard to my internal.I will keep my tiger clone until i am confident that I have all the files moved.

  • IPhoto won't import Nikon D70 raw files after upgrade to Leopard

    I recently upgraded to Leopard, and yesterday, I hooked my Nikon D70 up to the computer. iPhoto auto starts, and tells me that there are pictures to import. When I click the import button, iPhoto tells me that it is importing the photos, (which are in Nikon raw format) but in fact, it is not. The photos don't "flash" across the screen as they are being imported as they used to. When iPhoto thinks it is done, there are no new photos on my hard drive. A spotlight search confirms that fact.
    Jpeg photos still import just like they used to. Only raw photos don't import.
    If I manually open iPhoto, and click on file then import, I can find my cameras CF card, and highlight the photos I want to import, and iPhoto will then import raw photos. It won't import them with the simple attach the camera, one click import that I have grown used to. My D70 is a supported camera for iPhoto, and it used to work in OSX 10.4. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?
    Thanks in advance for any help offered.

    I had the same prob with my mac and my D70.
    I did an upgrade to leopard from tiger. After that, iPhoto would not import photos. The camera and pics would show up in the app, and would let me try an import, but it would come up with an error saying "20 photos were in an incompatible format and could not be imported".
    Since upgrading to Leopard, image capture wouldn't work either. App would run and then wouldn't. Would crash and error. Wouldn't import photos at all either.
    I was able to manually drag photos from my camera to the desktop and then import into iPhoto.
    iPhoto wasn't the only thing playing up on my mac (networking, file permissions, backlit keyboard, software update, ffmpeg app were all problematic), so I backed up everything I wanted to keep to an external drive and did an erase and install of Leopard. This has fixed practically every problem I had. Do the same if you can, cos it has made my mac a pleasure to use again.
