Lost iSight - Ethernet - Bluetooth after Leopard install

Hi,
I installed Leopard - erase and install, in an iMac 1.83, 17 early 2006. After installation seemingly no problems with the installation iSight no longer works, built in ethernet doesn't seem to work and Bluetooth is flaky, sometime bluetooth works sometimes not.
With iSight, try to use Photo Booth and I get a black window with a picture of a camera with a slash through the camera.
With Ethernet using DHCP is self assigned an 169 ... number, so I set it to manuel and assigned a IP to it. But then Airport stopped working and lights on router don't light for the ethernet cable, and yes set to no conflicting IP.
I restarted a few times, installed all the software updates, re-installed Leopard all to no avail.
iMac Passed All ASD test.
Worked fine with Tiger
I'm at a lost so Any ideas welcomed.
TIA, Bill...

Welcome to Apple Discussions, hytan
hytan is giving you good help on resetting the hardware.
About as close as you can come to an iSight "driver" is the "QuickTimeUSBVDCDigitizer.component" file. That file should be in your GF's Mac's Hard Disk / System / Library / QuickTime folder. Look manually because Spotlight will not find this file. If the file is there, reinstallation is not needed.
If it is NOT there, you will need to restore the file to its correct location in order for your built-in iSight (or any other USB camera) to work.
To "reinstall" the file, drag a copy of the file into the correct folder location and restart your Mac. That is all there is to it.
You can use a copy of the QuickTimeUSBVDCDigitizer.component file from another Leopard Mac or from your Time Machine or other backup.
If you do not have a backup or other Mac, make a backup ASAP and use Pacifist to extract QuickTimeUSBVDCDigitizer.component from your Leopard Install disk. Instructions for Pacifist are here.
(I have seen a web page that offers a download of the QuickTimeUSBVDCDigitizer.component file, but it is labeled for Mac OS 10.4.10. I am always suspicious of non-Apple sources for System files on my Mac. Moreover, even if this file is as advertised, I do not know whether the download is a safe substitute for you. Therefore, I suggest the Pacifist alternative.)
If the file is where it should be but your built-in iSight is still not working, you will need to consider the hardware possibilities. If reset won't bring it back, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

Lost Aperture serial number after Leopard install

Installed Leopard yesterday with Archive and Install option.
Went to run Aperture today, got prompt for serial number and, unfortunately, I cannot find the paper copy to re-enter it. Last update to Aperture puts it at 1.5.6. Can the file with the serial number be found somewhere in the Previous System folder? A number of Apple products, Aperture among them, are empty folders in the Application Folder in Previous System.
My Aperture Library is in the Pictures folder of my boot disk, and plainly shows. Selecting that file does start Aperture, which then prompts for the serial number.

The updater is looking for the app in the Applications folder. It must be there, not renamed and not in a subfolder. Can you post a small picture/screen shot of your Applications folder where Aperture is?
If you aren't presented with the update automatiacally in SW Update, then that suggests that you don't have the app in the right place/or named right. This is a problem for some folks everytime there is an update - they renamed it or moved it and forgot they did that. If you download the manual update from the apple support pages, it won't update either unless it finds it in the right place - the same place the auto update is looking for it actually.
And I was referring to being able to drag a file into this directory:
/Library/Application Support/ProApps/
That is the folder that must have the right permissions. If you can't drag into it, the app won't be able to save the serial file there.

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.

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.

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?!!?!?!!??!)

Help! External HD data lost after Leopard install!

After a quirky install of Leopard that included an error message for the install DVD itself, it seems that installation has been completed and this was confirmed by Apple CS. This install was on an iMac. Apple said to disregard the error message. It "appears" to have installed, but has been quirky on not shutting down when directed, and also not ejecting disks. No prior problems whatsoever with this machine -- before Leopard yesterday morning.
BUT, the external hard drive (Western Digital 80 GB) that was connected to the iMac comes up empty after the install. That's right, EMPTY! Critical client data gone! The only item on the disk is that dark gray icon with a yellow "exec" in the upper left corner (a Unix Executable File apparently).
Efforts to assess/fix External HD issue:
1. Disk utility reveals an error-free disk with no data (both permissions and disk repair). Same problem-free assessment by disk utility for the newly Leoparded machine, too.
2. Western Digital diagnostic says all ok with disk -- ran on another machine.
3. No data when connected to Leopard MacBook or other iMac running Tiger or other iMac in Windows mode.
4. Phone consult with ESS Data Recovery Specialist -- they think Leopard might have formatted the external. Note that the external didn't show up as an install option.
5. ESS Specialist recommended trying DataRescue by www.prosofteng.com.
My observations related to other related forum topics:
1. This issue appears different as others seem to have had luck plugging their external HDs into other machines with data recovery success.
2. This issue appears different as there is no discernable error with the external HD hardware itself.
3. The external seems to have been formatted by Leopard. Haven't seen anyone talk about this.
PLEASE HELP me figure out next steps:
1. Should I try Data Rescue on the external HD?
2. Is Disk Warrior different from Data Rescue -- better, worse, different? How? I heard DW is not compatible with Leopard but can be used when booting from the DW disk?
3. Should I used a data recovery service? After one of the above (DR/DW)? What is the best service to use in terms of effectiveness and price?
4. For the iMac...
a. Does it make sense to do an archive an install to make sure any issues with the quirky install
of Leopard are cleaned up?
b. I've noticed that I might also try a reboot in safe mode and then run disk utility again, or to
reboot in C.
c. The only 3rd party software on the iMac is flip-4-mac (.wmv compatibility in Quicktime).
Should I delete it?
Thanks for your help. I hope I've laid this out so to be useful to others with similar/dissimilar issues.

Hi sillynuggins-
Greetings and welcome to the Apple boards
I have read that you should disconnect all peripherals such as hard drives before doing an update and now I suppose I know one reason why.
1,2 and 3: DataRescue is a different program than DiskWarrior. DR is what you need here. DR will be way cheaper, in orders of magnitude, than a data recovery service.
4. An archive and install does make sense. Definitely remove flip-4-mac beforehand just to make sure.

"To Do" Items lost after Leopard install!

After I installed 10.5, on my Macbook,
all of my "to do" items (from the To Do
window) have vanished!
I would be eternally grateful if anyone
could help me get them back!
----->Ron Mann

I fully recovered my "to-do" list as follows :
In ICAL I imported Ical files ( found in users/library/application support/ ical/ sources) named corestorage.ics and dated the time of my OX update.
I imported to a new calendar and named it corestorage.
Once I imported all the files, and restored all my to-do items,
I changed the calendar name of the to-do items , then
deleted the corestorage calendar.
All I can say is that this worked for me... and man, what a relief...

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.

I was given advice to re-install these programs, but that ended up deleting iPhoto, which is another issue I am now dealing with. I tried re-installing iLife09 from the receipt file but it told me that I must have Mac OS 10.5.5 or higher, I have 10.6:
This is really bugging me, not sure what to do. Everything was working fine up until the Snow Leopard install. I also do not have the entire computer backed up anywhere, just my music and important documents so using Time Machine isn't an option unfortunately.
Please help!

IMO, you have only one realistic option if you want to try to fix things as they stand (ignoring iPhoto) (i.e., without doing and erase and install and having an original iLife install DVD). Try a repair install of Sno by installing Sno over Sno as in an upgrade install. Such an install, while usually very safe, still is an install so be appropriated backed up if you proceed. You will need to reinstall the 10.6.2 combo updater.
If this approach does not work, then I think that you have lost the iLife apps unless you have a related original install DVD. If you do, then you can do an erase and install of Sno and reinstall the iLife apps.
Another possibility is to do an archive and install. Generally speaking, such an install is not very likely to yield an acceptable installation. Under your circumstances, I would say their is only a tiny probability that you would end up with a decent install.

How did my desktop appear on another computer after Leopard install?

I have a Mac G5 connected by ethernet to a cable company. I bought a MacBook for Chicago which is 2,000 miles away. After upgrading my G5 with Leopard I physically took the Leopard CD to Chicago and installed it on my MacBook in Chicago where I have wireless (router) After the install, my desktop was duplicated on this MacBook from the G5 in California. I never had these two computers connected, nor have I ever done a file sharing manipulation between these two computers.
One of the files on the desk top on my MacBook, when opened reveals all my files just like the one in CA except I can't open any of them because the program cannot be found. That is not suprising at all because I never installed any of these programs.
One program did open and can be used however and that is PhotoShop which I use lot on my G5. I never installed that program on my MacBook.
How did this stuff get on my MacBook? I believe there is a bug in the Leopard CD that performs all the functions I could do manually to get this desk top to duplicate.
What do you say?

Lizard33, Welcome to the discussion area!
Do you have a .Mac account? If so you are probably seeing the new Leopard "Back to My Mac" feature in operation.

HP LaserJet 1000 problem after Leopard install

Anyone else have a problem printing after the Leopard install?
My printer and driver was recognized but I can't print. When I watch the print queue it say there are errors and fails.
Since HP never made a driver for this printer, I was using a Zenographics driver that worked great. That is, until I upgraded.
I unplugged the USB and power cords, and removed the printer from System Preferences. After plugging everything back in and adding the printer again, the printer seemed like it wanted to print, but still didn't work.
Please help.

Thank you for your answers. I was hoping someone would reply.
HP LJ 1000 is a great printer and I figured a few people had to have one. It is unfortunate as this printer hardly ever needed the toner changed, and I used it as my main printer. I swear I only changed toner four times in the last five years!
I looked everywhere for a driver and found nothing. HP said they had no updated driver for the Mac (as they told me a year ago, too) and they were not going to create one.
My final solution was to give up my printer to a good neighbor for $50 for her pc.
I researched printers from the Apple store and decided to go with the very Mac friendly HP Laserjet 1022:
http://store.apple.com/AppleStore/WebObjects/EducationIndividualCustom.woa/94340 03/wa/PSLID?mco=CC919B84&fnode=home/shopmac/macaccessories/printers&nplm=TC976LL/A&wosid=gG2dihO9R0Mg29v6f901bEeWNf2
Hopefully it will be a good printer. After returning the new toner I bought for the LJ1000, I thought Staples would have it in stock. However, after trying three different stores, it seems the best way to get a Mac-friendly printer is to go online.
I hope I helped you out as well.
Again, thank you.

Hard Drives locked after Leopard Install

Since this only happened after I installed Leopard, I figured here would be a good place. My apologies if it is not.
The root ( /Volumes/Entreri/ and /Volumes/Akira ) are now read only. All folders and files within them have correct permissions.
History: For a long time now, I've promised myself that one day, I was going to wipe my main drive, Ishii, and do OSX RIGHT. Ever since I had initial permissions problems since I upgraded my systems from OS9 to OSX, I ran my system (a Dual 1 Ghz Quicksilver G4) as root. Cringe away. I was young, and my attitude was that my dang computer was not going to tell me what I could, and could not delete (and trust me, after the initial switch and for years beyond, OSX still gave me plenty of those problems).
But I grew older and knew it was time to just run as an admin user, and not root. When Leopard was released, I figured it would be time to wipe my system HD (Ishii) totally clean, install OSX 10.5 and run as a normal user "sean."
Install goes fine. The finder pops up and I start to make what I assume are my first mistakes of my new life as an admin user. I get info on Entreri and Akira, and see their permissions are set to rwrwr-. **** no I say. The Everyone group (for some reason...) needs to have write access!! I change the permissions to rwrwrw and "apply to all enclosed items." It works! "Awesome," I thought, "all my permissions problems have been fixed!" I do that to both my Aux drives.
Then I get info on the system drive, Ryoko, and see the same thing... and I change it, and I hit apply to all enclosed items. About 30 seconds after a little voice in my head nags: "Why would you need to do that? The drive was wiped fresh- every file in there has the permissions OSX set for it.."
But it was in process- and I've learned not to interrupt OSX doing file changes.
As I'm sure you can guess, OSX starts behaving strangely after that. I restart off the Leopard disk, and use the disk utility to Repair Disk Permissions. Due to the number of files I idiotically changed, that takes 4 hours.
Now OSX runs fine.. but my Aux drives, Entreri and Akira, have their root directories locked.
•Getting info on the hard drive makes it look like everything's fine.
•Changing the permissions from rwrwrw to rwrwrw just to try and do something doesn't do anything.
•Applying to enclosed items run, but the root directory is still locked.
•Ignoring ownership on the volume doesn't change the locked root folder.
•FileXaminer can't seem to do anything either.
•Attempting to change the permissions in the terminal results in a Operation not permitted error.
•Permissions as reported from terminal: drwxrwxrwx@ 25 root admin 918 Dec 8 14:15 Entreri
•I ran as root, to see if I could fix the problem, but it's the same thing all over.
•When booting from leopard and running disk utility, the hard drive's are still appearing as locked- nothing is wrong with the drives. I was thinking about reinstalling, but if the installer disk sees the drives as locked, I doubted that would make an issue.
Entreri: 500 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.9
Akira: 80 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.6 (4 years old or so)
Ryoko: 80 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.6
Any help would be appreciated. I fully know I screwed up.

Same here, I have 3 extra internal drives and they now show a lock graphic on the desktop icons. If I try and write any files to the drives I get a prompt stating the drive cannot be modified. I'm given an option to Authenticate with my password, but I then get a message that says I don't have sufficient access privileges. I just updated through Software Update but didn't pay attention to what was being patched. I'm guessing a security update screwed this up. I really need my drives because I use them for media production and I have a serious deadline...come on Apple, test things out before sending updates!

Canon MP 600 Printer not working after Leopard Install

I installed the Leopard OS and now my Canon MP 600 printer that purchased at the MAC store with my Mac in Aug of this year. It was working properly prior to the Leopard install. I tried re-installing the printer drivers, but no change. I can see my MP 600 as the only printer available. I am also unable to even print a 'test' page. When I run the Network Diagnostics everything is fine, but no printing.
Any suggestions?

I tried this. I also tried updating the CUPS config file as was noted elsewhere. The printer is a total no-show on Leopard.
It is being served by an older G4 whose only job is to serve the printer.
On Tiger it would just *be there* to print to. All the Panther computers see it as a "shared printer" in the printer box.
In Leopard.... not a &^^&% thing.
Not happy.

Are you using a gimp driver? I had the same issue and gimp was the cause. I went to the Canon website and found the driver I needed. After the install and restart all was well. In fact, when I opened Print Utility, I saw that the system had already defaulted to the new Canon driver. Here's the Canon link...

ISight not working after Leopard installation - 1st Generation MacBook

My iSight is no longer working on my 1G MacBook after Leopard clean installation. Does anyone have this problem?

What problem are other people having? My iSight also failed, but it's the strangest problem I've ever had with my Mac. It will turn on and stay on when it should, but the image is dark to start out with and fades to black.
Other people are mentioning systems not recognizing the camera at all. Is this the case across the board or is anyone experiencing what I mentioned here?

Photoshop CS3 Crashes After Leopard Install

I tried upgrading to Leopard years ago from Tiger but downgraded back because of this same issue. I know I need to upgrade my system so I just installed Leopard again and again the same issue with Photoshop CS3 arises. After the install I am unable to open Photoshop, it just crashes. I imagine someone has to have an answer to this by now. Please help!
Thanks.
