Long start up time after Leopard install on MacBook Pro...

Hi, I just bought a MacBook Pro recently and upgraded it to Leopard
But ever since then, every time I start it up it takes over a minute to load everything
On Tiger, it would only take at most 20 seconds
It would just stay on some blue screen for a while, about 30 or 45 seconds before completely starting up.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? I used a clean install of Leopard

Hi, I'm having the same problem. My MacBook Pro is new and came with the Leopard 10.5. It's taking 2 min to reestart. I've already tried to reinstall the system with "erase and install", but it did not help. Even the first time after reinstalling the restart is already slow.
Have anybody heard anything about how to fix it?
Thanks a lot.

Problem booting Arch after first install on MacBook Pro

Hi all,
I've spent the past month intermittently trying to install Arch on an old MacBook Pro with a broken screen running in clamshell mode (I've reformatted, clean installed OSX, and run pacstrap around 20 times now). I was originally trying to install Debian, but the Arch Wiki was so good that I switched. The issue has been the same anyway.
Every time I try to install, I get stuck at the bootloader stage, where I need to make the installation bootable. It doesn't matter what bootloader method I use, since I've tried:
Boot from /boot partition with GRUB
Boot from separate HFS+ GRUB partition
Boot from Apple EFI System Partition (ESP) with GRUB
Boot with rEFInd
Boot with rEFInd installed to the ESP
Arch itself works fine, but when I go to boot from rEFInd's autodetected vmlinuz-linux from 128MiB ext2 partition, I get the same error message I've gotten with every other configuration:
:: running early hook [udev]
:: running hook [udev]

You are being dropped to a recovery shell
[etc.]
When the Arch .iso live CD boots, it gets the first uhci_hcd errors, and then just moves on with:
:: hook [memdisk]
:: hook [archiso]
[etc.]
Here are the contents of my refind.conf file (/boot/efi/ESP/refind/refind.conf) (I omit all the standard comments):
timeout 0
scan_all_linux_kernels
[The example menu entries - all disabled]
menuentry "Arch Linux" {
icon /EFI/refind/icons/os_arch.icns
"Arch Boot"
loader /vmlinuz-linux
initrd /initramfs-linux.img
options "root=/dev/sda7 rw rootfstype=ext4"
And my refind_linux.conf (/boot/refind-linux.conf):
"Boot with standard options" "ro root=2b121a89-aeb9-430a-8e6c-a05b79f08427"
"Boot to single-user mode" "ro root=2b121a89-aeb9-430a-8e6c-a05b79f08427 single"
"Boot with minimal options" "ro root=2b121a89-aeb9-430a-8e6c-a05b79f08427"
My custom menu entry for Arch doesn't work either (I'm still researching exactly why). I've been quite confused by different posts all over by different people on how to configure the manual refind.conf stanzas. I also tried a direct to root menu entry, where I tried the files as /boot/vmlinuz-linux, etc.
The error I always get here is the same:
Starting vmlinuz-linux
Using load options "[same as above]"
Invalid loader file!
Error: Not Found while loading vmlinuz-linux
I've installed GRUB as well, just to be sure. Although I haven't moved it to any other partitions or 'blessed' it in OS X. (I have blessed the HFS+/EFI partitions when I used GRUB.)
Just FYI, I've used the following pages as guides:
My primary guide: Cody Littlewood's installation procedure for a MacBook Pro
The Arch Wiki MacBook Page, which was useful but a bit confusing and self-referential on the Bootloader section
The rEFInd website, by Rod Smith. I've read it fairly extensively (including an interesting comparison of SodaStream flavours)
A Gentoo Wiki page with a rEFInd example
The LFS GRUB chapter, and surrounding material
And I've largely read the Arch Wiki Beginners' Guide, Bootloaders page, GRUB page, GRUB EFI examples page, UEFI page and EFI Stub Loader page.
There have been others, but it's been a while since I read them. I've been trying to make this work for a while.
I've also looked at some other posts on similar subjects:
A post on the Arch Linux subreddit matching my (previous; with GRUB) situation, but not fixing my problem
An Arch forum post, of which there have been others, but google seems to have changed my search results.
EFI-Booting Ubuntu on a Mac, by Rod Smith
The Debian MacBook Pro page
A post about booting Debian without rEFIt
Again, there are more, but I can't find them all just now.
I've looked EVERYWHERE for a solution.
My question is, does anyone have any ideas on how I might make my computer bootable?
Almost forgot; I've run
mkinitcpio -p linux
successfully (I get the two driver warnings that seem to be standard).

I use gummiboot, i don't know if its stuff on Mac. I think that ou should try another bootloader!
And why do you mounted two point on /boot?
/boot and /boot/efi?
Are you sure you're using uefi, my fstab looks just like his with the boot and efi partition. I'm pretty sure that's how the wiki says to set it up. That's the fstab for a laptop with uefi if it helps you out. I had problems with grub btw, so I had to set up gummiboot

Facebook games won't work after Maverick install on MacBook Pro

I just installed Maverick on my MacBook Pro, it is a mid 2009 model. Ever since when I get on Facebook with Firefox, Chrome, or Safari, I can"t get any of the games to load. Everything worked just fine last night before the install, but now I am at a loss as what to do to fix this problem, short of wiping the HD and starting back over in Snow Leopard.

After re-installing my MacBook Pro hard drive, I lost my Firefox/Mozilla 'top banner' (red ,yellow and orange in color) and with it my ability to down load via a small tab located top right on it's bar. How do I get this function back??

Recently I found it necessary to re-install my entire operating system, and I lost my ability to down load streaming videos. I am an artist almost 70 yrs. old, and am not very computer proficient which is why I purchased a MacBook Pro. I used Firefox/Mozilla to do downloading because it was easy. When I brought my system back up I found that the top 'Firefox banner' had changed from red, orange and yellow in color to shades of gray. With this change found that I no longer had the download 'tab' to click on to initiate downloads (located top right on the Firefox top section).
I've tried re-installing Firefox and Antbar download helper but am still not able to download. How do I get the download capability back again???? ......roxor999

Your storage device is probably faulty. It would be helpful if you indicated the EXACT model/year MBP that you have.
Ciao.

Commercial Leopard install on Macbook Pro

I have a Macbook Pro 15". I hae a commercial copy of Leopard that I have used on several different computers. When I try and install it on the Macbook Pro it ejects the DVD during the boot up process. It mounts on the desktop and allows me to restart from the DVD. But will not allow me to run the installer.
Any ideas why this is happening?

Good. It would be helpful in the future to clarify that upfront and get it out of the way.
Which MBP model do you have and on the Leopard installer which Leopard version does it say is on the DVD? If the version on the installer DVD is 10.5, then if your MBP is a fairly recent model it may require 10.5.1 or 10.5.2. If so then the Leopard installer will not work. Instead you will have to use the original installer disc that came with the computer.
If the above is not relevant, then there may be a problem with the installer disc or the optical drive. See if the installer disc mounts on the Desktop and if its contents are visible. If so then you might try burning a copy of the DVD (you'll need a dual-layer DVD-R disc and the MBP must have a Superdrive that burns dual-layer discs.) Then see if you can install from the copy. Use the following procedure to duplicate the disc:
<font "size=+1">Duplicate a CD or DVD
1. Insert the DVD/CD;
2. Open Disk Utility, and select the DVD/CD from the left side list (select the DVD/CD icon on top);
3. from the DU File menu select New | Disk Image from Disk 1;
4. Choose to format the disk image as DVD/CD Master, name the disk image and click Save;
5. When the .cdr file is finished select it with mouse and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info and check the box to lock the file;
6. Choose the .cdr file from the left side list, click Burn, and insert a new, blank DVD or CD.

"Office 2004 cannot start" error message after leopard install.

I have upgraded only 1 of my systems to Leopard. My notebook and Mac Mini are both running OS X 10.4.11. I purchased a Student and Teacher edition of Office 2004:Mac in June 2004 and have installed it on my iMac (now upgraded to OS X 10.5.1) as well as the other two systems. The Tiger systems can both be running Office without any problems, however, when I attempt to open any Office app. on my iMac I get the following message ... 'Microsoft Office 2004 cannot start because Microsoft Office is already in use. An office program is being used by (husband's name). Your installation exceeds ....blah blah'. I have checked the microsoft.public.mac.office newsgroup and it seems that where others experience this problem it is because they have duplicated one of their product id's. That is not the case with me. Each of my 3 versions of office has a different ID. I did an 'Erase and Install' when I installed Leopard so I did a fresh install of Office 2004 on my iMac. This install generated a different product ID from the original one (which I made a note of). However, I don't know how to change the product ID back to the original one or if, in fact, this is what is causing me to get the message.
Can anyone help me - this is driving me crazy??
Cheers
Tricia

FYI, the +product ID+ is different from the unique +CD key+, or serial number, (the long string of capital letters and numbers, separated by hyphens) which each installation requires. So the fact that the install, as you put it, "generated a different product ID from the original one," doesn't matter: it still sees the two installations as having the same serial number, and therefore not permitted.
Fortunately the answer is simple. First, uninstall Office 2004 completely from your iMac using the "Remove Office" tool you'll find in "Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Additional Tools," then reinstall it, being sure to use a different CD key this time. Since you just bought the student and teacher edition, which comes with three licenses and three discrete CD keys, you should be all set!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Shut down from safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

MacBook Pro Won't Start up after leopard Install

I installed leopard on my MacBook Pro 2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo. Well at the end during the restarting phase it took forever to restart and my power was running out so not sure if it restarted or batt went dead. After recharging i turned on mac and wont boot up past the apple with dots hovering it. Don't know much about macs so if you could help it would be appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple boards:
You installed Leopard on battery power? That's a real big no no. A very risky gamble at best.
If your battery died during install, you may well have totally hosed the system.
After recharging i turned on mac and wont boot up past the apple with dots hovering it. Don't know much about macs so if you could help it would be appreciated.
See if you can boot into the Leopard DVD (hold down "C" on boot) and after the language screen, on the top left will be a menu. Select Utilities, run Disk Utility and repair your HD and permissions.
See if that gets you somewhere.

Hi Neill
Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/PubSub.framework/Versions/A/PubSub
Per the above, your computer is missing a critical OS X file. Do you have another machine with OS X Leopard installed? If you do, I'll give instructions for copying that file from one machine to another.
If not:
If you have another browser installed, such as Firefox, download and run the 10.5.1 Update. If you don't have access to another browser, I suggest you pay a visit to an Apple Store or a certified Apple Tech location to assist you with these suggestions.
After the Install/restart of the Update, "repair permissions" etc. Do not use the computer while the update is running. Restart Safari. (you might get lucky if the update adds the file to your system).
If no go, then I suggest reinstalling the OS using the Archive and Install method.

Before Leopard 4 hard drives, after leopard install, now only shows 3 hds

I have a Mac Pro with four internal 400 GB SATA drives. Before I installed it I had four drives. Now after I have installed it, I only have three. Apple system profiler still shows four drives, but only three show on my desktop. They are all formatted Journaled HFS+.
What gives? Does anyone know how to get my missing drive back.

This just in from Gizmodo...
The bad news is, we have discovered a Leopard-related issue that may very well throw a monkey wrench into your Time Machine. Anyone trying to use Time Machine with a previously PC-formatted drive could be at risk. The good news is, there is an easy—albeit none-too-obvious—fix. Here's the dilly-o:
After I upgraded my MacBook Pro to OS X Leopard, the first thing I did was grab a brand-new Maxtor USB drive and format it to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) using Disk Utility, just like I had countless times before. As soon as I erased the disk, Time Machine popped up as promised, and asked if it could use the disk for backup. I said yes, and was on my merry way. Only I wasn't.
Time Machine ran for a bit, and then crapped out after about 10GB. I went into Disk Utility and saw that although the partition was formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled), the volume itself still said FAT32. I clicked Erase to reformat the drive, and got the format failure error you see above.
I tried this with FAT-formatted drives from Seagate, Iomega and HP as well. Each time I saw the same thing. I could reformat the partition to Mac OS Extended (Journaled), and Time Machine would recognize it. Get Info would say that it was formatted correctly. But Disk Utility showed that the volume was formatted for PC. Inevitably, if the Time Machine backup was greater than 10GB, there were problems. Worst of all, if I dared try to format the volume for Mac, I would get the dreaded error, and the disk would be temporarily unmountable.
Not only did I vary drives, but I tested the problem on various systems too. I tried it booting from the Leopard DVD, with the same results. Ditto when I tried it using my wife's Leopard-upgraded MacBook Pro. (Yes, his n' hers MBPs. You can insert your "awwww" here.) The end result was that I couldn't break the FAT grip on these **** drives.
I made some calls, I talked to some people, and eventually here was the solution: you wipe the **** out of the drive by creating new and different partitions. So, do not head to the Erase tab in Disk Utility to prep a PC-formatted drive for Time Machine. Instead:
• Go to the Partition tab. Create two partitions. Under Options, select GUID Partition Table (what you would use to make a Mac OS boot disk) and click OK then Apply.
• Once your partitions are in place, do it again, reverting back to just one partition, but still keeping the GUID Partition Table option. Click OK and Apply again, and at this point you should be cool.
• To be safe, you can then go to Erase and set formatting for Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then format it once and for all. But when you get there, you will probably see that your volume is already formatted in the right way.
Using this method, I have gotten all of the disks to work just fine with Time Machine, and I don't anticipate any problems in the future.
OK, I know, quite a bit of nerdiness coming from one dude this late at night. But I wanted to get out there and tell you about the problem I encountered, in case you are having the same troubles, or plan on getting there sooner or later. Also, this solution is actually a workaround of sorts. My hope is that Apple can update Disk Utility with a stronger form of disk erasing that doesn't require so many manual steps, but if I am missing something obvious, I'd love to hear it. Please share any troubles you've had, or any better solutions you've cooked up.
Special thanks to Dorian and Ken!
I will try this and post back.

Fan problem after Leopard install

PowerMac Dual G5 - after Leopard install, fan between hard drive and optical drive revved up like the computer was going to blast off, faster and faster until I powered down by holding down the power button. Leopard seems to be working fine, but with the fan continuing to go at high speed at all times. I've tried reboot, reinstall, pull plug for a few minutes, remove CMOS battery, and zap PRAM, all to no avail. I haven't put the panel cover back on yet, and that may work, but I won't have time to mess with it for a few days and hope for some insight before I try that.Ideas?

Problem went away. Must have been a ghost in the machine.

Hello, Pete.
Here is an article I would recommend going through when an iPod is not recognized by iTunes or the computer.

Usually the resolution is updating the Apple Mobile Device Driver. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

Blue screen only after leopard install. HELP!!!!

Here is what I did. I installed Leopard on my MacBook Pro and it booted perfectly. I did the upgrade option so I wouldn't lose my editing and graphics software. I decided to upgrade my Dual 867 MDD, which has a Sonnettech 1.67 processor for mirrored drive door macs. This is where the **** has come in. For the first attempt, I installed the upgrade on the system drive with was only an 80gig drive with 14 gigs left. After I came back in from letting the install go overnight, my computer monitor only showed a blue screen and the mouse arrow. i can move the mouse arrow around which is a good sign. I got frustrated and then took out the 80 gig system drive and replaced it with a carbon copy backup drive of 10.4.11. This replacement drive is a 120gig 7200 rpm PATA drive. I then installed Leopard on that drive, got the success checkmark at the end and rebooted. Again, the blue screen came back with a functional arrow. My only guess is that the low end ATI card (the original that came with the Dual 867's) is somehow flipped or reversed, preventing me from accessing the dock and system functions. I don't know of a keystroke that will flip them. Why would the mouse be functional and nothing else? The card has a HDMI port, albeit one of the older ones that is rounded and not square. At this point, I"m stuck on blue screen with roving mouse.I also could not get the install CD to eject, even when holding the eject key during the restart. I finally got it out. After a third reboot, I got the dreaded error message of death stating to restart. Any suggestions?

where can i get migration assistant? will carbon copy not do? my situation is worse now. i don't know why i forgot to go with archive and install and chose upgrade. life is **** for my g4 now. the new situation is that if i choose archive and install or the clean install option, there is an error message at the end saying the install failed and that there is an error with the disc. I have also seen an error message saying the install failed due to not finding the oxford dictionary something. on top of that, i can't reboot into OS9 because leopord alters or deletes an important extension that the sonnettech processor needs. they sent me the new file and once i overcome these failed install issues i can add that new file. oh well. wonder how vista installs are going?

Kodak 5500 - cannot print after Leopard install

Just want to throw this printer into the list of printers that do not work after Leopard install. I get a raster stream error. I have reinstalled Kodak software; deleted and readded printer, etc, etc,. Still now printing. Scanning works fine though!

Much to my surprise, I received a reply from Kodak a mere few hours after emailing them on Sunday morning. They advised me that a new version of their all-in-one printer software (1.2.0 Release 3) for Leopard will be available on the web on Monday, October 29th.

After Leopard install I have 2 volumes of equal size

After Leopard install I have 2 volumes of equal size. One has Leopard and the other has Tiger. How can I delete, remove, or get rid of the volume with Tiger on it? As I have upgraded to Leopard how can tell which one I have, i.e., 10.5 or 10.5.X?
Thanks for your help.

For some reason the Leopard installer kept your old Tiger partition instead of deleting it. It's probably your fault, but that doesn't matter...
Before you do this, back up any data you still want from the Tiger partition. Also rename it to something that will differentiate it from your other volume(s?). Also back up your Leopard partition before any of this.
Take your Leopard install disk, pop it in, reboot while holding C (or just click Install Leopard), choose a language, then from the menubar click Utilities, then Disk Utility. Once there, click your hard drive (not your Leopard or Tiger volumes) in the sidebar, go to the Partition tab on the right, click your Tiger volume's square (NOT YOUR LEOPARD VOLUME!!!), click the minus sign under that little graph, and click Partition. Then once that's done, drag the little resize line thingy on the bottom-left of your Leopard volume's square so that it fills up the entire area there.
If you can't make the Leopard volume take up the entire drive, you'll have to wipe the entire hard drive and restore from a backup. Yes, you will have to unless you're okay with having less space then you can. (Why can't GParted resize HFS+?!?! WHY?!!?!?!!??!)

Long start up time after Leopard install on MacBook Pro...
