Lost functionality with Leopard...

Lost functionality with Leopard upgrade....
1 - AOL for Mac OS X (10.3.7) application: can't access email addresses when writing mail and can't attach files.
2 - Canon's MP Navigator (2.2.2) won't batch scan documents with MP830. Worked fine with Tiger.
3 - Can't mount USB hard drive attached to my airport extreme and when I try the extreme goes offline and I have to restart it.
How about you all. I only used 'em all the time.

I have the same problem.
After upgrade from my Mac Pro to Mac OS X Lion yesterday, the same problem happened described by danhalli.
No connection to the printer over 2101nw. The MAC gets all information if an other computer makes a connection to the print server, so the communication works, however connection cannot be established.
There was no way to fix it. complete new installation from Printer Software or wireless HP Print Server did not help.
Important: all other computer in the network are working fine with the connection manager (MAC and Microsoft PC´s)
All MAC computer are working fine with the SW 10.6.8 . The SW 10.7.2 does not work I hope it will be fixed soon. If you can not print, it takes a lot of time !!!!

IOS7 lost functionality with Ford Fiesta?

So here is the deal. My friend has a Ford Fiesta 2011. Everything was fine with her iPhone 4s when it had iOS6, however as soon as she updated to iOS7 the track selection no longers works on her steering wheel, and only works when changed from the phone itself. Any ideas how to make the phone work in full function with the car again?

I know that you have solved your problem but I found after I updated to iOS7 that my remote controls for my iPhone in my car would not work. Once I updated to iOS7.0.2, the remote controls started to work again.
I would recommend that people update to 7.0.2 if they have lost external control of their phones in their cars or other remote devices.

Recording Software No Longer Functional with Leopard

All audio editing software (which previously worked fine) on my machine no longer runs with Leopard installed. Software affected by the "upgrade" include:
-Steinberg's Cubase
-Audacity
-Ableton Live
Are there patches for this extremely aggravating glitch in Leopard?

All those apps will probably soon have updates to make them Leopard-compatible. Check developers' web sites.

Lost Bar with Leopard?

Because my four-year-old Powerbook G4 crashed and died a couple days ago, I had to get a new machine (mbp 17"). This is my first Leopard system (haven't got around to updating the desktop G5 yet).
The main difference between the new MBP and the old G4 is that I lost a bar in my Airport signal. Is it Leopard? The desktop G5 (still Tiger) still sees all the bars in my network...
At startup, software update had updates for a lot of big and little things. One was an Airport update. Was that a horrible mistake?
(Airport Utility says it's Airport Extreme v5.3)

I have not seen any published conversion tables for % Power to RSSI from Broadcom, but since those two looks like they're similar chips and assuming no major changes in microcode, let's go with it.
The cisco table in the attached pdf:

... should get you close, but I doubt it's perfect. You may be able to tell if one is different than another, but it won't be accurate enough for any real diagnostics.

My Magic Trackpad lost functionality with my iMac (Lion)

Hi--
I have been using a Magic Trackpad with my iMac (Lion 10.7.5) for over a year. This morning I find that I've lost several functions, including the double-tap + drag to select text, and now the three-finger swipe registers the same as the two-finger swipe. I know the problem is the iMac and not the trackpad itself; I tried unpairing the trackpad with the iMac and pairing it with a Mini (same OS), and all of the functions are working when paired with the Mini.
Having looked for others with similar issues, I've tried the steps of zapping the PRAM, deselecting/selecting the trackpad preferences, and looking for plist preference files that look like they are trackpad related (but didn't recognize any--am I looking in the wrong place?).
FWIW I was having problems with Time Machine just a week or two ago and performed a system software reinstall from Recovery Mode, which fixed the Time Machine issues. But I believe the trackpad was working fine until this morning--at least the click-and-drag selection b/c I use that function daily.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Okay, so I think I've figured out most of this. Many thanks to jefflogullo, whose post I found my answer on. Resetting everything on Universal Access solved most of my issues with double-tapping. Why on earth did they move it out of trackpad settings?

Isub not functioning with Leopard

I just got a MacPro and my 6 year old Harmon Kardon isub will not make a sound. Nothing helpful on thier website either. Anybody have any luck or do I need to trash it and buy something new?

Eric, Your telling me that Apple has stopped supporting USB Speakers?
They have for that speaker, i.e. iSub. Others might work.
My iSub doesn't work with 10.5.x on one of my old G4 MDDs. I does work with the other one running only 10.4.x.

IPhoto6 - after a full reistall of Snow Leopard, iphoto does not display thumbnails. I've restored from time machine, rebuilt the library and run through the rebuild thumbnails function with no success. The files are there, I just get a dotted outline.

iPhoto6 on iMac running SL - after a full reistall of Snow Leopard, iphoto does not display thumbnails. I've restored the library from time machine, rebuilt the library from iPhoto and run through the rebuild thumbnails function with no success. The files are there, I just get a dotted outline instead of the thumbnails. Does anyone have any other ideas on how to restore the thumbnails?

Try the following:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Function keys don't work on New IMac with Leopard.. very sad

We just got a New IMac with Leopard at work and my F Keys don't work at all. I have tried everything, even checking the "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys", but it doesn't work at all. I use these keys all the time. How can I fix this?

WebWolf wrote:
My Bad, I am sure I am not the only one that has done this. I had not assigned the F Keys to their function under Exposé, I thought they didn't work after I turned on the F Keys under the Keyboard & Mouse window. So, I thought I would post this to help anyone else that did this.
They now work, yea!!!!
Sometimes we solve our own problems quite well
I believe that Leopard does reset to the default F keys.

My keyboard (wired) has lost functionality on the music PLAY/PAUSE, FORWARD and BACK, and VOLUME KEYS. They do NOTHING. All else is fine. How can I reassign them correctly? (Don't see those functions listed with System Settings/Keybard shortcuts).

Crayolla,
Try doing a SMC and PRAM resets. Sometimes it takes 2-3 attempts for them to work so be a little persistent if they fail the first time.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Started with Leopard, added OS9, lost a HDD?

Hello,
The Mac I recently bought came with Leopard clean installed on the 2nd HDD, but I found out that it had previously had OS9.2.2 on the 1st HDD. Since the installation of leopard was on a completely separate drive, I figured there was little harm to install 9.2 onto the master drive.
After days of reading, I decided to proceed making sure to choose the custom installation option and clean install to the bare master drive. Fearing no data loss, I felt confident in my choice...until I tried to boot back into leopard. During the installation of 9.2.1 I did notice that I had to initialize the drive that I wanted to install to because neither of the 20Gb HDD's showed up initially.
The installation went extremely well, but I can't even pull up the second drive in 9.2.1. Having a copy of 10.1 available, I tried to boot into that cd after repeated attempts(x-key during boot, resetting pram, etc) failed. The cd tried to load a few times, but it wouldn't on it's own. I then tried to use the disc utilities on the CD when booted into 9.2.1, but it too wanted me to initialize the 2nd drive.
I'm holding back on that because I'm assuming that entails a format of the drive and I know the actual data is intact, but can't figure out the whole how to boot back into it issue. Any ideas on how to get this back up and running while still being able to boot into both OS's?
This configuration started as a 400Mhz Sawtooth, but has been upgraded with a third party 1Ghz proc. As stated, it has dual 20Gb HDD's. I have original retail version copies of 9.0, 9.2.1, and 10.1. I'm also considering picking up 10.5.4 retail either way with a leaning towards 10.4.

Hi, Pyromethious -
It sounds like the second drive (the one with Leopard) was last formatted using OSX's Disk Utility, and the option to install OS 9 drivers was not selected.If that is the case, then the drive can not be mounted by any OS 9, including when booted to an OS 9 Install CD.
Article #TA20774 - Disk Is Available in Mac OS X But Not in Mac OS 9
That article suggests a possible non-destructive remedy by using Drive Setup while booted to an OS 9 Innstall CD; this will work only if the drive once had OS 9 drivers on it. Unfortunately, even then it rarely works.
The only other solution to be able to have that drive mount when booted to OS 9 is to then re-initialize the drive; this can be done using OS 0's Drive Setup or OSX's Disk Utility. If using the latter, be sure that the option to install OS 9 drivers has been selected. In either case, this is a destructive process - all data on the drive will be erased; be sure to first back up (usually with a cloning utility) all data you don't want to lose, using another drive or disk as the recipient.
Of course, you can also do nothing, and just plan on not having that drive available when booted to OS 9.
As far as getting the machine booted to OSX again, since OS 9 can not mount the other drive, its Startup Disk control panel can not 'see' it as a choice. Try one of the following -
• Restart or boot the machine, immediately press the Option key, keep it held down. This should bring up Startup Manager, within which you should be able to select the OSX volume for booting -
Article #HT1310 - Startup Manager: How to Select a Startup Volume
• Boot the machine to your Leopard installation disk, and use its Startup Disk (in System Preferences) to select OSX on the hard drive as the boot OS.
• Holding down the X key with the OSX 10.1 disk not in the drive should also cause it to boot to OSX on its hard drive. If you find it difficult to get the OSX 10.1 disk out of the drive, try holding down the mouse button immediately after restarting or booting - that's a hardware-based instruction for the Mac to eject all removable media. You can also try pressing the eject button on the front of the Mac after restarting or booting, when the drive has been energized but before the drive has spun up and tried to read the disk.
Not sure why the machine won't boot to the OSX 10.1 install disk, unless that specific version is not supported by the CPU upgrade.

Hi,
There can be many reasons why the Login is "up the creek".
Any break in the network at your end whilst logged in will cause an issue.
A sort of discrepancy between what iChat thinks the state should be and what the server thinks.
If they don't agree the server will refuse to accept.
A Crash at the server end which does not log you out properly will also do it.
Any file at any time can be come corrupted.
Luckily with the iChat .plists they are recreated if removed with an iChat Restart.
If it were AIM you can also get your Account Suspended and this will not log you in.
(It tends to happen from Chat rooms where people notify AIM about bad behaviour (as they see it) and you have to apply to get Un-suspended).
Most of the big IM services use multiple servers.
Sometimes these go out of Sync.
In the case of AIM this happens when they remove Old unused Screen Names from people's Buddy List prior to making them available for re-registration. I am not sure if this happens at Google.
You seem to be talking about an account that has worked at Work and having new computer at home.
As I mentioned the Priority thing you have not said that it has coincided with the new computer logging in (this will kick the work Computer out of Google whether you are logged in on the Web Mail page or in iChat)
IN addition to that iChat stays partially logged in for Off Line IMs
This is done in the background by a support app called iChatAgent
If your Computer is ON but ichat is not started people can still send you Messages.
Instead of saving these on the server until you login iChat will start up.
Depending if the home Mac is effecting the Work Login it may be holding sway over your Login.
Using your girlfriend's login may have booted her Off Line where she normally uses the name/login.
The AIM Side can be specifically set to allow Multiple Logins and therefore NOT allow them. If this happens you get a warning and messages to do something about it.
You do not get these in any Jabber or Google Login as the Priority setting is supposed to take care of it.
If the Login works at the Web Mail Login and on one computer then the .plist on the work computer is the most likely issue.
There is a small chance that a Corrupt Buddy Pic (Home Folder/Library/Caches/com.apple.iChat/Pictures) may be the cause.
Set this folder to icon view and also use the Finder's View Menu > Show View Options and select icon view.
This should show all pics as their icon.
Check that all display properly.
At this point I would try a COMBO version update install of the last Update you did over what you have.
This often corrects hard to trace things

'Disk Utility has lost connection with Disk Management Tool' w/ RAID 10 set

Using 4 internal drives, I have specified the following setup for each:
2 partitions, 1 'speed' of 5 GB and 1 'data' of whatever remains.
The 4 speed partitions stripe to a single RAID volume correctly.
The 4 data partitions are used to make a RAID 10 volume as follows:
The first 2 data partitions are mirrored to make a 'data-A'
The next 2 data partitions are mirrored to make a 'data-B'
These complete correctly.
Upon attempting to strip data-A and data-B in order to finish the RAID 10 setup, Disk Utility quits with the following message:
"Disk Utility has lost connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility'.
A search here and on the nets reveals only that this message appeared in 10.3.x when attempting to repair disk permissions and had to do with a rogue iTunes support file. This is occurring on a blank system (no iTunes installed) so I don't think its the same cause.
Note that I was able to complete this setup under Tiger several times without issue, so it seems to be unique to Leopard. Does anyone know what is going on and hopefully suggest a workaround?

To answer my own issue and leave a marker here for others, I was able to successfully set up a RAID 10 partition using diskutil, indicating that the problem is Disk Utility itself and not the RAID implementation.
Disk Utility has proven itself to be bugridden (must restart frequently to get updated view of volumes; drops device names at various times; etc.) and this latest bug would seem to suggest that it should be avoided in favor of diskutil for any serious RAID construction.

Constant lock ups with Leopard!

I find myself having to hold in the power button to turn my computer off almost everyday now! I am not sure what is causing these constant lock ups! Ever since upgrading to Leopard have I noticed this. Yesterday It happened when trying to open iTunes. Today it happened when I clicked on MAIL. The icon just bounces in the dock and nothing happens. I hit FORCE QUIT and that doesn't work either.
Do I need to clear something out or get rid of something? Even when I try to restart my computer sometimes that will lock up too! The only way to get around any of these issues is to hold in the power button to turn the whole computer off, wait a few seconds and turn it back on. Once its back on, then I have full functionality out the computer again but its getting on my nerves that I have to do this all to often!
I think they are some cool features with Leopard but I am experiencing way to many bugs/problems with it to be 100% happy with it.
As I am writing this posting, I just clicked on my APPLE icon in the top left of the screen and then clicked ABOUT THIS MAC to make sure I was using the most current version, and NOTHING happened!

Try reinstalling. It sounds like you did an upgrade from an earlier version that may have been corrupt to start with. You may be able to do the following:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
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) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) 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.
