Migrating back from leopard 10.5.x back to tiger 10.4.11

Hi there,
KDX server transfers are failing on leopard 10.5.x and therefore I need to migrate back to tiger 10.4.11. Could somebody please send me appropriate directions on how to safely migrate from 10.5.x back to 10.4.11?
Cheers,
Noah

First make a full backup of your current system.
The only (semi) automatic downgrade option is an [archive and install|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710?viewlocale=en_US] of Tiger over your current leopard system. You won't be able to preserve your user and network settings if you do this. Your old system and and your old home folder will be preserved in the "Previous systems" folder at the top level of your hard drive.
Use this [link|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107297].
Keep in mind that archive and install downgrade is not recommended by apple and I've seen reports of some people having problems with it. Therefore, having a full backup of your current system is essential.

    I need to go back to Panther restore discs that came with my imac G5. There are too many important apps that just are not compatable with Leopard ie. Creative suite 2, Freehand MX. I can not print to high res PDF. Nothing happens and I do not have time to wait for all new programs to arrive. As a matter of fact I don't even think there is a leopard freehand verision. Will my restore CD's give me the option to erase and install. Yes I have several firewire drives with my system backed up.
    I believe the proper way is to use your Leopard DVD to erase the HD. I would perform a full erase (include freespace), then boot, holding down the "C" key and install Panther. However, at this point you should seriously consider Tiger. I am presuming your PowerBook is a PPC (non-Intel) OS. The commercial Tiger CDs will install on your system. I upgraded my G5 from Panther, which it came with, to Tiger when it came out. Tiger is far superior to Panther.

  • Back from abroad and timezone not back to local

    Hi there
    Just back from a short trip from Netherlands to USA New York. Timesetting on automatic. Back home...:
    iPhone automatically back to NL time but the IPad refuses. I have to turn the automatic setting update time through network off. It keeps getting stick at New York time zone when I put It back to automatic. Never happend before on other trips to different time zones. Already tried reset and sync with the Mac. And latest iOS installed
    Anyone knowing this problem?

    When you get to the States, if you will be in an area with an Apple store for a couple days, call and ask about reserving an unlocked iPhone, it takes a couple days to get it in the store from what I understand.
    The current MBP 15" models are 2.2 and 2.4 GHz i7 machines.  There is a 17" with 2.5 GHz i7.
    The difference, in addition to the slightly faster cpu, is:
    2.2 GHz - Radeon HD 6750 M with 512 MB VRAM
    2.4 GHz - Radeon HD 6770 M with 1 GB VRAM
    Both have the same hard drive, 750 GB 5400 rpm, both have the same primary graphics - Intel 3000.
    So the difference is in the discrete grapics processor, important for heavy video work, heavy gaming...but will drain the battery a lot faster.
    You can get all the details on any Mac computer by going to http://www.everymac.com and click on the model and then scroll down to the exact machine of interest.

  • Migrating wiki from Leopard Server (10.5) to Lion Server

    Is there any way to migrate Wiki Server data from Leopard Server (i.e. 10.5 not 10.6) to Lion Server without upgrading to Snow Leopard first. I'm happy to set up everything else afresh but I've migrated wiki data before and it was a nightmare.
    The situation we'll soon be in is needing to migrate wiki data on a PowerPC mac running Leopard Server to a new Power Mac pre-installed with Lion Server.

    From: http://images.apple.com/macosx/server/docs/Upgrading_and_Migrating_v10.7.pdf
    Need to set up Lion Server first, then:
    Copy the wiki data located in /Library/Collaboration/ by default or in the location specified in Server Admin on the v10.5.8 or later server to a local volume Lion Server can access.
    Use the following steps to manually migrate your Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later server’s Wiki data to Lion Server.
    If you are migrating a v10.5.8 wiki server’s data, make sure Lion Server is bound to the same Open Directory master as the v10.5.8 server, so the ACLs for wikis can convert. If not, wikis are only readable or writeable by admins, and ACLs must be reset.
    To migrate wiki data:
    1 Start Wiki service in the Server app.
    2 Enter the following command.
    sudo wikiadmin migrate -r /path/to/collaboration/folder

  • No Print Settings when printing from Leopard to a shared Epson on Tiger

    I don't know if this is related to the printing problems in Aperture before Security Update 2008-002 v1.1 but I am still experiencing a missing "Print Settings" menu when printing from MacOS X 10.5.2 (Intel) to an Epson 4800 shared on a Mac (PowerPC) running Tiger. The printer is connected by FireWire.
    I tried sharing the printer from a Mac running Leopard and the menu shows fine and printing is perfect. When printing from Leopard directly to the printer everything is okay too.
    Should the Mac sharing the printer run the same system as the Macs printing to it? (pretty impossible in any company) or is this a persisting bug.
    Thanks for your help.

    I solved this. At least for me. After spending an hour on the phone with Epson, they said it was Apple's problem. After spending an hour on the phone with Apple, they said it was Epson's problem. Sound familiar? Anyway I searched around the net for answers and I've found something that has worked. I downloaded this program: Gutenprint Uninstaller from this site http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3 and ran it on both computers. That got rid of any old gimp or guten drivers. Then from the same site I downloaded this package of drivers Gutenprint 5.1.7 and installed it on both computers. On the Tiger computer I added my printer (Epson 1400) selecting the gutenprint driver as its driver. Now my Leopard can see the printer settings and I can choose the type of paper, print quality, etc. These are all found in the printer interface window under "printer features". Hope this works for you. I'm happy again.

  • Getting Tiger back from Leopard

    Hi, I've just bought a new G5 Imac 2.4Ghz with a view to running Pro Tools for music production. I realise that Pro Tools is currently not compatible with Leopard and so was planning to revert it back to Tiger ASAP. This seems to be harder than anticipated due to the fact that no drop in disk was provided with the computer. According to Apple the computer was originally shipped with Tiger and has been upgraded along the way so presumably I should be able to get Tiger back! Anyone any ideas on how I can go about doing this?
    Cheers
    Rik

    Hi rik_g;
    Since the generic Tiger DVD is PPC only you can't use that to get Tiger on you Intel iMac. This leaves you as the only alternative to use the hardware specific Tiger DVD for the 2.4 GHz Intel iMac. I think it is going to be extremely difficult to find them.
    Why pray tell do you wish to return to tiger?

  • Back arrow does not work with SQL Server Reporting Services Reports. When one pages back from a sub report the back action appears to skip moving to the previous step. IE 8 works fine?

    I have a SSRS report that has a parameter driven drop down list to select a catagory for a report to run a summary for the category in Report Manager. When the report runs there are links to a sub report with more detailed information about the category summary. Firefox runs everything correctly up to this point.
    When I try to back arrow from the sub report Firefox skips the summary report page and reverts to the initial page where the sub category can be selected to run the summary report.
    Can you help? IE8 works well with this but has severe spped issues with reports that contain multiple selection parameters. Firefox handles the multiple parameters very fast but has the page back issue.

    I had to reboot my iphone.  I now need to download my last back up from the cloud - how do I do this?

    All of  your apps should be in iTunes on the computer, simply sync them back.
    If they are not, go into the purchase history and download them again.

    Was it backed up ?   If it was - restore from backup (of course, everything else will be restored too).
    If it wasn't - you have no way to get it.

  • Downgrading from Snow Leopard back to leopard?

    IVE HAD IT!! lol. This operating system has sooo many flaws so far. Is it possible to downgrade back to leopard from snow leopard?

    If you do an erase and install, then, yes, you will have to reinstall everything with two major exceptions. If you make a bootable clone of your Sno install on an external drive, then you can migrate your user, settings, data, and apps from the clone. However, it looks like you have a troubled Sno install. So, I think you would be asking for trouble is you migrate anything but your data. Still, you might take a chance on migrating your apps. I might try if reinstalling them would be a huge undertaking. Essentially the same comments apply if you have a TM backup, although sometimes TM won't restore from a backup made under one system to a different system. I wouldn't take a chance on using TM under the circumstances.

  • When I use migration assistant to move all my data from my Macbook Air to my Pro, it uses the last full back up not the last partial back up. The last full backup is two months old though. Both machines are running Mountain Lion. How do I get my latest 1

    Hi
    I need to move my data from a time capsule that backuped my Macbook Air (which has been destroyed by liquid damage) to my Macbook Pro. The Air and the Pro both run Mountain Lion and I have a clean installation on the Macbook Pro.
    I used Migration Assitant to move the data across but while I have back ups of my Air up to 24 hours before it was destroyed, the migration assistant only wishes to migrate data from the last full back up that it finds which is 2 months old.
    Please can you advise how I can restore the latest data to my Macbook Pro.
    Many thanks.

    please let me know the linksys device model number you are using ..

  • I have updated my mac from snow leopard to mountain lion 3 days back. I had some important data in my library folder and it got overwritten. Is there any way i can get the data back from my snow leopard library folder?

    I have updated my mac from snow leopard to mountain lion 3 days back. I had some important data in my library folder and it got overwritten. Is there any way i can get the data back from my snow leopard library folder?
    I tried mackeeper to recover files but it could not. Any other way any one has tried to recover a system library folder after OS upgrade?

    No, it doesn't store a clone. You would have needed to make one with either SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner.
    If the files were in your ~/Library folder then they may still be there. As I said, you can access it by
    going to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library". I wouldn't think an upgrade would overwrite anything in ~/Library.
    If you have a Time Machine backup you may also be able to use that to retrieve them.

    Suggest you try the password for the Macbook, not the previous one.

    Local Mac shop said to hold down "c" after inserting disk to get "disk utility" to come up in order to wipe hard drive.  I can't seem to get it to do this.

    This W7 was purchased for using Fusion, as others did - per reviews from amazon.  The technician today called their contact at VMWare - Fusion not officially for use with Lion - even though I read at the VMWare support site that others have made it work.  Apparently my setup doesn't work. 
    Do you know how to do the proceedure for bringing up the disk utility when starting the disk?
    BTW, some of the windows applications I want to continue using are Incredimail, Calendarscope, Stamps.com and a few others I have used over many years.  What do you use for email and calendar?
    Wow, sounds like another reason to not use MS Windows.
    Regarding your Disk Utility question, please elablorate I'm not sure what you're trying to do. Disk Utilty is just that...a utility, it's something most users never have to use especially on a new computer. Let me know what you're trying to do there before I give you some instructions.
    As for as your Windows apps I would recommend using Mail and iCal, both come as part of OS X and are very robust tools. Don't discount the software built right into OS X it's very robust and powerful not all like the bloatware most Windows boxes ship with. Stamps.com well I'd look for another alternative. It's clear they don't support OS X which makes me a little suspicious that they're so behind the times. 
    Also if you have not been exposed to these links before I'd strongly recommend bookmarking them and using them. They're extermely useful!

    There is your problem. DVDs that ship with a Mac are machine specific. You will need to purchase a retail copy of the DVD $29.
