MacPro 8-core Leopard installed-Piece of Cake

Leopard upgrade installed fine. All my programs work fine. love it.
Thanks Apple.

So here's an update...
I tried once again reinstalling only booting without ANY audio drivers loaded. Still the same thing.
So I thought to myself: Hey, lets call the colleges in the other studios where I know they use Logic. I called 5 studios distributed over Germany (This is where Logic has it's broadest clientele. 3 of them said - "Since Logic 8 came out we had to switch to Protools. Another said" I had to switch to Digital Performer as Logic was just too slow and gave me NO performance compared to prior versions. The last one was still on Logic and as I asked him about the screen slowness he started breathing heavily. And said "This is killing me, Logic used to be so fast and now with every new version it gets slower and worse. I am tired of waiting and have already gotten quotes on a PT HD|2 system."
So it seems that I am NOT the only one thinking this is annoying. I called 5 studios who smiled at me 3 years ago when I left Logic as main DAW for PT... Today, they have or are about to switch to different DAWs.
That sums it up pretty much for - I am heading back to L7 - until I have converted my about 250 songs that I still need to produce. Then Logic will probably be removed from my CPU - unless of course they pull up some magic stunts from DAW bag of trix
Thanks to you who took the time to reply

Original 10.4 disks will no longer work on MacPro after a Leopard install

I have an Intel MacPro that shipped with 10.4. I installed 10.5 on the machine. I have a need for either a 10.4 partition or to revert back to 10.4 entirely. When I attempt to install 10.4 from the original grey disks that came with the machine I get an error that this version of Mac OS X can't be installed on this machine. Same problem with an older Intel iMac. Neither recognizes their original disks, the MacPro will boot from its original disk, but won't install, the iMac does not even recognize its original disks. Did 10.5 do something funny to the firmware? If so (or even if not) is there a way to get these machines to "accept" the software they were born with or am in in Leopard-land forever with these two machines?

Some of the ideas here appear to require a pre-made backup on an
external disk drive such as a clone; of the previous system. Good
advice going into an upgrade, even then, it may not work. But should.
Mac OS X 10.5 Help: Reverting to a previous OS X version
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/15216.html
Of course, this path is worthless; as I have read dozens of topics on
the subject and none of them appear valid in your instanc!!
Is there any chance your Mac OS X 10.5 install disc
is really only an upgrade? They aren't a full service.
{Can you Archive and Install using the 10.4 disc, but not have it booted
up in the suspect computer? - It may revert that way. Desperate maybe.}
Since their is a percentage chance of something wrong with the computer
(but maybe not) you could consider the fee to discuss the issue with an
AppleCare tech, since that is still available after it has expired. If an issue
is not resolved in a discussion and suggested cure from them, ask what
if any recourse you have; if a call-back and other followups are free, etc.
This is an odd issue. Since I've been accustomed to making backup clones
that can boot my computers from externally enclosed hard disk drive units,
that is a path I try to be ready for; manual clones and not a Time machine
or other semi-automatic device. (Though the free-running clone utilities can
backup to a schedule, too; & offer a good full drive backup to a lite-backup.)
Sorry that I do not have a workable answer to the issue of the retail disc
not being seen by the computer as a boot volume; so complicating the
idea and need for you to revert from OS X 10.5 to the original OS X 10.4.
If things get rough for me, I have backup computers; living in a small town, in
a low-population semi-remote location does that. And backup generator, too.
{Is there a way to be able to use Leopard for your purposes, in at least one
Mac? Did you upgrade over Tiger in both? Sometimes, a full new install is
a best way to upgrade, wipe everything - but have that clone.}
Best wishes & regards...
Good luck & happy computing!

Macpro dual core xeon. Why can I not download Lion even with snow leopard 10.6.8 already as sysyem?

macpro dual core xeon January 2008 Why can I not download Lion even with snow leopard 10.6.8 already as sysyem?

If you need to purchase Lion call 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. Ask for a Sales Representative. They will check your Apple ID, and email you a code and instructions. The cost is $29.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download.

Why won't snow leopard install on Mac OSX intel core duo10.5.8

Why won't Snow Leopard install on my Mac O S X 10.5.8 Intel core duo

You need a minimum 1 GB of RAM. It has to be of high quality*: http://www.macmaps.com/badram.html
You should also look over this FAQ to make sure you didn't miss anything*:
http://www.macmaps.com/upgradefaq.html
Note, in event you were interested in Lion, that Mac is not compatible with Lion unless you misidentified it. Only MacBooks with machine ID 2,1 or later can upgrade to Lion (1,1 and 1,2 are earlier). The Machine ID is in Apple menu -> About This Mac -> More Info.

I have a macbook (2006) with 10.6 snow leopard installed. Can i get EA's origin and sims. It has a Intel Core 2 Duo

I have a Macbook 2006 with 10.6 snow leopard installed. I was wondering if i could get EA's origin download and sims 3 the game? The laptop has an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor.

Unfortunately no, I have e exact same problem. Our ancient laptops are to the full extent of upgrading available for its time..., I'm trying to find an older version of origin to download to my Mac at the moment... Take my email if you want and if I come across anything ill send you the link. The only other thing I can think of is to upgrade the entire Mac software to the newest version but that includes wiping out the entire system and hard drive and locating the software disc to do that and I'm not even sure if it will process all of that information since apple conciders our laptops "vintage" there's no way to go back because they don't support the software for these older ones anymore.
Sorry.

My Macpro Intel Core Duo-running OS 10.6.8 has been crashing pretty much with everything I try to open. I find the last resort will be to boot from Snow Leopard system disc. Has anyone experienced this? I can only run Google Chrome.

In the last few days, it seems that my computer has all of a sudden caught a virus. I have never had that happened to a computer, but I have surely heard about it. I can't think of any other reason it is behaving like this. I know that Macs have been pretty much impervious to viruses, but that was before they were the majority of users.
Anyway, what is happening is, my computer keeps crashing whenever I try to open a program, app, document, folder, file, etc. I tried to boot from Drive Genius to establish the problem, but Drive Genius crashed too. I know the last ditch effort (after cleaning and maintenance of disc verification and permissions and repairs, is to reboot from the system disc.
Before I go there I was hoping someone in the community would have a suggestion to help me avoid that ultimate last resort. The tech support guy at Drive Genius told me that probably would have to be the way to go (as in reboot) and if that doesn't clear it up, it's repair time.
Thank you for your consideration in advance;
Lorain R

In the last few days, it seems that my computer has all of a sudden caught a virus.
As others have pointed out, this isn't malware. That should not be your first (or even fifty-first) thought when your Mac starts misbehaving. For more on this topic, see my Mac Malware Guide.
I know the last ditch effort (after cleaning and maintenance of disc verification and permissions and repairs, is to reboot from the system disc.
You mention "cleaning and maintenance." Have you been running utilities claiming to do those things? If so, you may be the victim of an overly-zealous cleaning job, which has removed important files and damaged your system.
If I'm understanding correctly, you're unable to open any applications at all... is that right? Do you have any backups? If you don't have backups, you're in a sticky situation, as it will be difficult to make backups in your current state, but you shouldn't try any kind of repairs without them. (Actually, you shouldn't do anything with your computer without backups, but this is especially important when something is going badly wrong.)
If you have backups, reboot from your Snow Leopard install disc. From there, first, repair the hard drive with Disk Utility. Once that is done, assuming repairs were successful, reinstall the system. You can simply reinstall it on top of your current system, and it will replace any damaged or lost system files with new copies. (You'll also need to update the system via Software Update after reinstalling.)
If you don't have backups, or if Disk Utility can't repair damage, or if the problem continues even after a reinstall, post back with those details.

Disk Full Error after Clean Leopard Install-MacPro

Reformatted drive into 2 partitions, Leopard Install, update to 10.5.7.
After Reboot disk full error-plenty of space available.

Well, we can't help without more information than that to go on...

My Snow Leopard Install Experiences

First of all, let it be known that I’m a relative newcomer to the world of Macs, having bought my first last December. However, I’ve been around computers for fifteen years and class myself as pretty sad on the geek scale and run two Windows and two Linux machines here.
With that in mind, it should be noted that I may have missed something obvious when I upgraded, or that computers really can be annoying sometimes and mileage really does vary.
I’ve got a Macbook Aluminium, upgraded to 4GB RAM and 500GB HDD. It’s been running perfectly since the day I bought it, but being a newbie I added and removed countless applications until it got pretty close to what I thought was ideal for my day to day use.
Before I upgraded to Snow Leopard, I did two backups. A block level backup with CCC, and my usual Full+Incremental backups to another external drive, again with CCC. The first drive was stashed for emergency purposes, after both were tested bootable.
*Standard Upgrade *
Went well, apart from a couple of apps that weren’t on any of the problem lists I’d looked at before the upgrade. I accepted defaults, including all the languages I’d never need, and likewise the printers.
On reboot, it was fine and everything seemed significantly faster, but putting the machine to sleep took an age; minutes in fact. Returning from sleep, ejecting external media, and connecting to wireless weren’t improved either. In fact, I’d say that returning from sleep and the wireless connection actually took longer.
Embedded Flash had the fans on my laptop kicking in within seconds, even though I’ve had to push the machine pretty hard in the past to hear the fans at all.
It just didn’t feel right at all, so safe in the knowledge that I have backups that can be quickly restored, I tried a clean install from a running machine.
*Clean Install from Desktop *
Easy, and this time I opted not to install any of the printers or extra languages. Machine absolutely flew on reboot.
However, sleep and resume problems remained. Wireless connections were sluggish and even disconnected once; not something I’m used to.
Plugged my printer in - HP C4380 - and drivers were duly downloaded and installed. Printed a test page and the drivers crashed!
Flash problems remain, even after repairing permissions on a Flash update.
Battery life was down to two hours!
Didn’t get as far as re-installing old apps or data.
At this point I was pondering going back to Leopard, but I had another couple of hours to spare, so I tried a clean install from boot.
*Clean Install from Boot *
Booted from the install CD. Deleted the existing partition and recreated and formatted.
Installed all the printers, none of the languages I didn’t need, Rosetta (NX requirement until they release V4 native).
After every major software package install, I’ve done a permissions repair and the only update that’s caused any problems is Flash.
Other than that, this is perfect. Copying my data back from the CCC backup was a piece of cake, and being a clean install meant I could be selective about what apps I put back.
No fans, no jittery Flash videos, four hour battery life, instant connections to wireless, fifteen seconds to sleep with more apps open than I care to count. No printer crashes, either network or local drivers. Machine has been running for a week without a reboot.
Today I formatted the drive containing my old Leopard block copy backup and backed up Snow Leopard.
Conclusions
 Well, none that are immediately obvious because I’m fully aware that the final solution which worked for me makes very little sense from a logical point of view.
I just wanted to share this in case there are those out there who are deeply frustrated and want to try something else before giving up and going back to Leopard.
Of course, this really is only for the people who have the time to mess about like this, and of course it’s only safe to play around if you have the backups available.
I’ve never been a fan of OS upgrades in general, but I have to say that I probably could have lived with the very first upgrade I did and researched the problems I met with or waited for fixes.
However, that I took the third option did make me wonder about a few things, and it’s also been a good learning experience.
As we say in the UK, this is just my two bob’s worth, and I certainly wouldn’t advocate taking this approach unless you have time, patience, and more time. Particularly in light of the fact that the third options being such a massive improvement makes no immediate sense whatsoever.
Unless you know otherwise...
PS: Just one annoyance for me. Those bloody icons in the expanding grids are *FAR TOO BIG*, so let’s please have the option to change them.

The big deal that I see in the 3rd install was that you wiped the drive and reformatted. Maybe the drive had issues exaggerated with the Installation of SL.
Did you ever use Boot Camp when you were playing around with installing and uninstalling apps? Some folks have found that the installer does not like HDDs which had a previous BC partition that was later removed, especially if it was not removed properly.

MacPro + 8800GT + Snow Leopard = fan noise!!

I have a MacPro Dual-Core Xeon 2.66GHz (form year 2006) and I have a Nvidia 8800GT.
When I startup from 10.5.x (Leopard) I don't have noise from the fan of the video card,
but if I startup form 10.6.x (Snow Leopard) I have a loud noise from the fan of the video card!!
what I can do!?
sorry for the bad english..
lenny

Odd, I don't hear any difference and I wonder if you installed 10.6 over 10.5.8, or clean install?
It always tends to make a slight audible noise from the fan on cold boot, that seems normal and just its way of operating. But not what I would call 'loud' and it is very short.

I want to install Yosemite onto an external hard drive, and keep Snow Leopard installed on the internal hard drive. I want to be able to boot from either system, depending upon circumstance (at least until Yosemite is stable). Is this possible?

Itunes and new Leopard install

Ok, I really wish I could go back a few days and not spend the time or money on Leopard until the powers that be get it running LOL.
Anyway, I started my Leopard install 4 days ago and just got it going (every problem listed).
I just tried to open my Itunes and get the error-
"The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes"
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. I'm getting beyond frustrated with this thing.

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

I want to buy a new Macbook pro 15", but I don't like Lion, I want Leopard installed, is there any issues with drivers or any other I should be aware of?

I want to buy a new Macbook pro 15", but I don't like Lion, I want Leopard installed, is there any issues with drivers or any other I should be aware of?

Hello, I've tried Lion from the day they released to last week I got my computer formated and with leopard again, on my iMac 24" from early 2009 2.9 Ghz core 2 duo, and I have installed 8 Gb of memory, and i have some complains about it, there are some cosmetic issues but mostly I'm concerned about issues bellow the hood, as I'm a stock trader and I depend completly from my computer's performance, let me explain:
Superficial issues:
1. They took off "spaces" and I liked it.
2. I dont use the magic mouse, I need a more accurate mouse for my charts, and it seems they built the entire OS assuming you would use the magic mouse for gestures, scroll, etc to try to mimic in some way the Ipad and Iphone functions, but what if you arent using it like me?
3. I never used that little rocket icon that makes all your apps appear and that could be one of the "improvements on Lion", at first sight it looks nice and slick, but if you try to use it and make it part of your daily use, you would find it is useless, it is a pain to try to arrange it the way you like it, so I rather use the spotlight to search for my apps, its faster.
Now the MOST important, 'performance':
1. It completly suffocate my computers hardware Leopard much more lighter, beggining from the start up that taked almost 1/3 or twice the time, and I think Lion has some bugs bellow the hood, i was doing my normal stuff, some apps running and everything, and suddenly I started to feel the computer a little slow, safari taking forever to open the pages for example, and I opened the activity monitor to see what was going on, and it was there, I was using 4 or 5 gb from my memory, and CPU making insane peaks, and Im using 2.46 gb as im writing it doing exactly the same stuff, (but Im happily using Leopard now), and it wasnt once, as i told before, I used lion since the day they released it and happened several times until it drove me nutts. But leopard not problem in that regard at all, Never.
hope this helps, and hope some apple guys read that because lion resulted in a big disappointment for me.

Want to Upgrade my MacPro (Dual Core) 2.66 Ghz to a SSD

Hi,
I would like to upgrade my current MacPro (Dual Core) 2.66Ghz computer that has a 250GB HD to a possible 256 SSD or bigger. Are they compatible? I dont know if this matters or not but I also have 10gb of RAMM.

Once you install the SSD do the following. First, prepare the new SSD:
Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Next, clone your existing drive to the SSD (assuming the SSD is 256 GBs this will work.)
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the SSD. Source means the startup drive.
Now, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the SSD's disk icon then click on the arrow button below the icon. This will boot the computer from the SSD if all is well.
If it boots successfully then open Startup Disk preferences, select the SSD, then click on the Restart button which will restart from the SSD.

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.
