Mac OS X v10.5.4 Leopard retail not working with 2 GHz Power G5

Hi I recently purchased Mac OS X v10.5.4 Leopard retail for my G5 and wouldn't work. I reinstalled the old operating platform and then reinstalled the Leopard. It installed almost the same as before. Several programs - like itunes- don't work. The computer won't go to sleep so i have to shut it down. And several commands cause the computer to make this rapid humming sound.
I installed the Mac OSX disc and it doesn't work. My mac is making repetitive humming noises now and most of the programs won't work including itunes. When I click on it, it just tells me itunes is not available. I tried the install over again and nothing works.
Please help
Thanks in advance

You must also add RAM memory to your Mac for smooth performance. 512MB RAM memory is a joke. Please add at least 512MB of RAM or you will have a very unstable machine. 2GB of RAM is even better and it will really breathe in some fresh air into that old horse.
I have 3GB of RAM and it's a rocket and super stable. Putting in a better graphics card also does no harm and it will noticeably speed up that machine. OS 10.5 Leopard is tough on G4 and G5 based computers. Leopard demands a lot of processing and graphics power from the computer because it is very advanced and chock-full of new features.

  • Leopard may not work with Avid Media Composer.

    I am about to purchase a new iMac for the purpose of using Avid Media Composer for editing as opposed to Final Cut Pro.
    Unfortunately, Avid is not providing any tech support for those who use the new Leopard operating system on their Macs, they are only providing support who still use Tiger 10.4.10. To make matters more complicated, Apple already has Leopard installed on the computers they're selling, whether they're new or refurbished.
    Is there any way to get Tiger installed on the computers that already have Leopard installed? Also, are there any Avid users who have had no problem installing them on their Leopard computers?

    You can probably install Tiger on a Mac Pro if you buy it today and can locate the media, but it won't be supported.
    You're in a bit of a pinch... if you'd asked this question a month ago I'd have told you to buy IMMEDIATELY but it wasn't exactly a secret that Leopard was on the way
    Avid will eventually support Leopard but they'll take their time. They might also try to push a Windows box on you.

  • Mac mini not working with logitech h130 headset's microphone

    Hi,
    I have a mac mini (late 2014) model that appears to not work with my headset's microphone, my headset is a logitech h130 that works perfectly with all other devices that I have (which are not apple), please fix! ASAP

    Assuming that the headset has two 3.5 mm plugs you need one of these to combine the headphone and jack into one 3.5 mm plug

  • Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard V Windows OS!

    Hi i am sick of windows, but as i only just got this pc through a rental agreement with a local retailer, and i cant change it and get a Mac. I was wondering if Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard is able to be installed on my pc? i have a Toshiba P300 PSPCCA 1tb hdd, 4 gb ram, 512mb ATI Radeon Mobility HD, Intel core 2 duo T9950, with Windows Vista as the current OS. Am i able to format my hdd and install Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard? or not? hope i can cos i really am sick of windows!

    Since you can't change your hardware your only option is to get an alternative operating system for it. Mac OS X only runs on Apple hardware, but you could try one of the many Linux distributions out there if you don't want to use Windows. They're free and can be installed side by side with Windoze. Ubuntu would be a good start: http://www.ubuntu.com/

    PS: I would not use a Win-PC anymore, even if I get payed for it...

  • Mac OS X v10.5.6 Leopard

    I want to buy and install the iLife'09, but read that I need to upgrade to Mac OS X v10.5.6 Leopard. When I did a search on the Apple store site, all that came up is Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and
    Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Family Pack (?) I don't think I can go directly from Tiger to Snow Leopard, so what are my options? Also, I see that some are having problems with Leopard. Have these been ironed out? I only want to upgrade so I can get the new iMovie in iLIfe'09. Is it worth the trouble?

    I don't think I can go directly from Tiger to Snow Leopard
    You can, except your computer (G5) won't run Snow Leopard (requires Intel Mac).
    For Leopard, try calling Apple Support (not Sales). It used to be that when Leopard first came out you could still get Tiger through Support, not Sales. Maybe the same applies to Leopard.
    Also, I see that some are having problems with Leopard. Have these been ironed out?
    A somewhat sweeping statement. What issues specifically?
    Is it worth the trouble?
    Ah, as a Tiger user you got me on that one.

    No can do I'm afraid.

    It's to do with licensing. If you read the EULA that comes with OSX it tells you about those restrictions.

  • Is Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard 32 or 64bit?

    I'm coming from a PC background. Is the Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard a 32bit or 64bit OS? Does Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard have a memory limitation? For example, the 32bit Windows OS will only see up to 3GB of RAM. Does the Mac OS has something like that?

    Mac OS X has no memory limit inherant to the operating system itself.
    However, DVD Player, and Front Row are two applications within Mac OS X that are not 64 bit.
    64 bit is not enabled by default, though if you add memory to a Mac, it will address all of it as long as the Mac's specs allow it.
    A key sequence of the 6 and 4 key force the machine to start in 64 bit mode.
    Some non-64 bit applications will unexpectedly quit in 64 bit mode.
    Some can be forced to run in 64 bit or 32 bit mode via their Finder (think Windows Explorer) File menu -> Get Info window attribute after single clicking them in the Finder.
    To learn more about 64 bit enabling on Macs, see this article:

  • 21.5 Inch iMac Stuck on grey Loading screen (spinning grey loading circle)...Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard

    I installed Windows XP via bootcamp around 10months ago, around that time, i noticed that my Snow leopard OS had not been working, everytime i rebooted my Mac(starting in Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard) it would show a apple logo, then a loading 'bar' then the loading bar would disappear, then a grey spinning loading 'circle' would stay there, ive left it over night and it would still be spinning..
    When i boot in windows XP, i can still see the Snow leopards files via bootcamp(looking at the the bootcamp drive) but i cant actually use snow leopard, and that was one of the reasons i bought a mac.
    Ive tried many solutions but nothings happened i really nead help:(
    thanks.

    You will need to start your computer with the original DVD that shipped with the system. Then launch disk utility to repair your hard drive.

  • Upgrading to new Mac OS X v10.5.4 Leopard? Is it worth it?

    Hello,
    I'm wondering if would be advisable or even possible to upgrade my os to the new Mac OS X v10.5.4 Leopard. I seem to come across issues where I can add new software as they require OS 10.4 or higher. My PC configuration is as follows:
    Machine Model: iMac G5
    CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (3.0)
    Number Of CPUs: 1
    CPU Speed: 1.8 GHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
    Memory: 512 MB
    Bus Speed: 600 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: 5.2.2f2
    GeForce FX 5200
    Hard disk: 80 GB
    System Version: Mac OS X 10.3.9 (7W98)
    Kernel Version: Darwin 7.9.0
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    Regards,
    Kash

    If you need to use software that requires it, then sure, use it. Your iMac is very capable, but there are just two caveats:
    - Buy more memory, perhaps another 512MB or 1GB, all those whizzy new features and functionality will require memory to run. Memory's never been cheaper.
    - You're going to lose the use of Classic, so any software you currently use that requires OS9 or Classic to run (or to install, even if there is an OSX patch later) will cease to work.
    And maybe one more caveat, there's just a lot of other older software that is broken by Leopard (OSX 10.5). A search with Google will find a wealth of information of any issues with a software package and Leopard, it's been out for a year, so there will also be patches or upgrades available for most.

  • I upgraded Safari in my Mac (10.6.8 Leopard) but the new version does not work with my system so that I now have not a working browser. How can I solve the problem and/or install back my previous Safari version?

    I have upgraded Safari in my Mac, but the new Safari does not work with my system. So I find myself without any working browser. How can I solve this problem and/or install my previous Safari version?

    Reinstall Safari 5.1.10 for OS X 10.6.8: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1569. Might do the trick.
    But, frankly, I don't think that simply reinstalling the old Safari will work because of all the peripheral, under the hood changes that happen when you upgrade from one version of Safari to another. Reinstalling 5.1.10 may be insufficient to turn back the clock. (This is the moment where a Time Machine or another form of full backup would save your bacon.)
    While you're getting a copy of Safari 5.1.10, get a copy of Firefox (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/desktop/), too, so that you have an alternate browser to use as you're sorting matters.

  • M-Audio MIDISPORT UNO USB Not Working With Snow Leopard

    My Snow Leopard installation worked fine except until I plugged in my MacBook to my Casio Privia with the M=Audio MIDISPORT UNO USB cable to run GarageBand. I'm getting a MIDI error which states it can't work with the latest operating system. It doesn't surprise me though for all the software and hardware driver updates that have to catch up to such a new OSX 10.6. I went to the M-Audio site to download the latest driver, but the drivers only were compatible with OSX10.5.8.
    This is an alert at the site
    Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Support Coming Soon
    Avid/M-Audio working closely with Apple to offer support for OS X 10.6
    Avid/M-Audio is pleased to hear that Apple has released Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. We’ve been working closely with Apple to bring Snow Leopard support to the M-Audio® product line, as well as the Pro Tools® product line and extended product families. We ask that all existing Mac users please wait to upgrade until we officially announce Snow Leopard support. Stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks.
    This is a bit of a concern, because I need to get GarageBand running again with the MIDI hook ups. Is there a work around anyone knows about to get MIDI working with Snow Leopard.
    Thanks Steve

    I ran into a similar problem. I discovered one thing which may help you out though. It works OK with my Yamaha P200 keyboard but it does not work with my Yamaha NP30 keyboard. I looked at the MIDI stream and the only difference seems to be that the NP30 sends a continuous stream of MIDI clock, whereas the P200 does not. My theory is that this clock stream is somehow confusing the driver. I can't seem to disable the MIDI clock on my NP30 but if your Privia has the ability to disable MIDI clock, then it may be worth a try as it will probably fix the problem until they come out with the proper drivers.
