MPD16 MAC OS 10.5.6 Leopard

HI
I have a MPD16 but it isnt able to synchronize with my macbook which is running 10.5.6 Leopard
Having the AKAI's mac utility software downloaded and installed, the software doesn't seem to run at all (jus the icon showing, no windows popping up)
Are there any solutions?
I think there are quite a lot of MPD16 users out there scratching their head trying to figure out a solution.
MPD16 seems to work on Windows and Mac OS Tiger
Are Apple and AKAI going to fix the solution?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I would contact Akai. They have software which indicates it is 10.3.9 PowerPC, and 10.4.4 Intel and 10.4.4 PowerPC compatible (on their website where it says Universal, that means at least compatible with 10.4.4). If you have an Intel Mac, you get full native Windows support with a variety of virtualization engines, including Apple's own Boot Camp which is 10.5 compatible. See my FAQ* on virtualization:

Back on January 2008, an article on this forum says a driver will come for Leopard:
http://www.bigbluelounge.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=41815&start=0
I would Google MPD16 and Leopard 10.5 and see what you come up with.

    I have lost my installation disk for my mac book pro running Snow Leopard 10.6." Where can I replace it?"

    You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.

    I want to upgrade my 2007 Mac desktop to 10.5 Leopard. I am currently running on 10.4.11. When I put the leopard disk into the drive all it does is make a weird noise and then spits the disk right back out. It doesn't do this with any other discs, only this software. Is it still possible to update this computer?

    Yes. Try Amazon.
    Before you do upgrade to Snow Leopard, make sure your Mac meets the requirements.

    Make sure the disc you tried using doesn't have any fingerprints or smudges on it. The optical drive can't read the disk otherwise.
    If your Mac won't read the disc, might be a good idea to rule out any problems with the startup disk BEFORE trying to upgrade the system.

  • Can anyone please tell me which version of Photoshop Elements will download easily and run with mac 10.5.8 Snow Leopard?

    I posted a question which was: Can anyone please tell me which version of Photoshop Elements will work with Mac 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.  Then this window popped up saying mark this discussion with as a question and this window.  I have no idea how this works. It already is a question and if I need to emphasize that, how does this window that looks like a Word editing window, help me do that?Downloading, Installing, Setting Up

    You asked the question in the title area instead of the area where the body of your posting is intended to be.  No fault of yours - they need to make the form clearer.
    Check the system requirements for the various versions of Photoshop Elements and see which suits your system.  Adobe only sells the most recent versions of their software, so if you need an older version you will need to find a vendor for it.

  • I want to upgrade my Imac from tiger 10.4.11 to Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard. What is the best way to do this.

    I have just purchased an iphone 4 and it needs me to have the latest itunes on my computer.  I have not upgraded by computer for some time and thought this is probably the time to do it. My computer is an imac intel with Tiger 10.4.11. I want to upgrade my Imac from tiger 10.4.11 to Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard or higher.  What is the best way to do this?  Appreciate any help as I am out of practice. I used to be an old hand at this, but things have moved on since I didn't upgrade or use my computer as much!

    The best way, really the only way, is to purchase Snow Leopard.
    Online (UK): http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Elsewhere: call the phone number in the Apple Online Store.
    Apple's price is $19.99, £14.00, €18.
    Snow Leopard is not available to download from any legitimate source.
    Once you install Snow Leopard, upgrade iTunes to version 10.7 or the latest, iTunes 11.
    iTunes 10.6.3 is the last version of iTunes to support Mac computers with Mac OS X 10.5.8 with either Intel or PowerPC processors, but since you have an Intel iMac, the best solution is to purchase Snow Leopard. Leopard is no longer available from Apple and prices from aftermarket vendors can be unreasonably high.

  • Should I upgrade Intel Core Duo 1 Mac Mini (2006) to Snow Leopard?

    Okay I have a 80 GB Apple Mac Mini with Intel Core Duo 1 proccessor that shipped with Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.7) currently running 10.4.11 that I want to upgrade to either Leopard or Snow Leopard in a few months just in time for Christmas which I acquired in September 2006. It was the first Mac Mini model to include Apple's Front Row software and shipped with an Apple Remote (I know Macs don't ship with Apple Remotes anymore you have to buy them separately) and am now pondering an update. I've heard some things about Snow Leopard not working so well with older Macs even Intel based Macs that are only 32 bit.
    Thing is I just got a new MacBook Pro that shipped with Snow Leopard and it seems to run fine on the MacBook Pro except for the fact a few applications I wanted to install wouldn't work with Snow Leopard like Google Desktop for Mac so was wondering if I should update the Mac Mini also to Snow Leopard. I do not particularly like how Apple removed the transcoding features to export video from one format to another in QuickTime X that was available to QuickTime 7 Pro users (actually reinstalled QuickTime 7 Pro on my new MacBook Pro so I can still use that despite QuickTime X being installed) but like Expose integrated with the Dock Menu that's new in Snow Leopard and features like Cover Flow built into the Finder (available also in Leopard along with Spaces) so if I update the Mac Mini should I update to Snow Leopard or Leopard?
    This is a 2nd generation Mac Mini (the 1st generation had PowerPC chips) with Mac OS X Tiger and I've heard some negative news about upgrading Mac Mini to Snow Leopard so I want to get some more feedback on whether or not its worth it. The Mac Mini came with iLife and iWork 06 versions but updated iWork to iWork 08 Family Pack. Still have iLife 06 though and am still running iTunes 8.2.1 on the Mac Mini.
    I use this computer as my main system for syncing with iPods (I have a 5th gen video iPod and a 2nd gen iPod Touch that I sync with the iTunes Library on my Mac Mini which includes videos purchased earlier from iTunes Store and music purchases as well as TV purchases) so don't want to risk messing up the system with a Snow Leopard update if it is going to cause problems doing so. If Snow Leopard is not good for the Mac Mini will just update to Leopard and stick with Mac OS 10.5 Leopard on this system.

    I upgraded my mac mini 1.5GHz core solo to a Core 2 Duo 1.8Ghz in order to run most of SL's 64 bit stuff. I bought a pulled Core 2 Duo from ebay for $29 and it took about 1.5 hours to do the switch.
    The main downside with the 2nd gen Mac Mini is the kernel cannot run in 64 bit mode due to a 32 bit controller that cannot be upgraded. Yet, booting into 32 bit kernel is SL's default setting and as you may have read in articles when SL came out, relying on a 32 bit kernel does not slow down use of 64 bit apps. I maxed RAM to this mac mini's 2 Gig limit years ago which is a good thing for you to do too.
    I am happy to report the upgraded Mac Mini runs much faster than originally thanks to the 2 gig of RAM and the Core 2 Duo chip. Installing SL made it run faster still and consumption of memory for apps is lower (smaller pipeline requirements with faster CPU), and about 14 GIG of HDD space was recovered since I did not reinstall Xcode tools. I can now encode 1.5 hour long video files that used to take overnight processing time. CPU runs hotter, up to 89ºC, but usually run only about 10º higher on average than before while fan rev's not noticeably more than before between 1500 to 1800.
    If you are not comfortable to upgrade the CPU, I think you will still find some benefit to SL for $25. Alternatively you could sell your Mac Mini on ebay (these 2nd gen model are popular for those want to do the upgrade) and use the proceeds to buy a refurbished current gen Mac Mini.

  • 10.4 Tiger Unlimited - Upgrade to - Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard 10-Client License

    Can I just upgrade my current 10.4 Tiger Server Unlimited to Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Server 10-Client License?
    I have many email lists, and websites on m current server, but I only have six clients that are named.
    What would I have to watch out for?
    The only modifications were to change SpamAssasin so that the settings could be easily upgraded.
    Is there something that could return my 10.4 server to it's standard state, and then, just upgrade?
    Could I just reinstall 10.4, then upgrade all the 10.4 steps to 10.4.10, then upgrade to 10.5?

    +There are two aspects here. Technical and License. If you have only 6 concurrent file sharing users, then the 10-client license will work fine.+
    I have only six concurrent users. I was just concerned about upgrading from one to the other.
    +Not knowing what modifications you may have made it is hard to tell. Personally I prefer to setup servers from scratch between major version changes.+
    I am sorry. The only modification was to shift from ClamAV to FreshClam.
    +What services are you running on your server?+
    The services I have running are;

  • My client does not able to join Mac OS Server 10.6 Leopard Snow - kGotAuthe

    I am currently running Mac OS Server 10.6 Leopard Snow running on my Mac Mini.
    Have recently upgraded from previous version of Mac OS Server 10.5
    I wanted to connect a client computer (does not matter my Mac Pro or my Mac Book - same results) to the server.

    "The server 10.0.1.2 offers Address boek, iChat, Mail... etc.. The I am selecting "Set Up Services",
    Type in my name and password. and press continue.
    Then I am getting the following message: "Joining the server 10.0.1.2 failed: kGotAuthenticationFailure"

    Look forward to any response.

  • Buying Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard

    Hello,
    I am not sure this is the right place to place the question.
    As soon as Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard comes out I am buying a Macbook with this new software. The problem is that I have my beloved imac g5 with Mac OS X Tiger, but I want to update it to Leopard.
    The question: "Can I buy an extension (like you do when you buy iwork08 for family use) for my imac when I buy the new Macbook with Mac OS X Leopard?"
    I would really appreciate your help and/or suggestions. It really would be a big blow to my pocket if I had to buy a whole new program for just one computer. I will be buying iwork 08 for the two.
    Thanks!

    Since Apple's upgrade policy has not been announced, if there is any, no one here can answer your question truthfully. http://www.apple.com/macosx/ has everything that is known about Leopard to the general public. Until that changes with official upgrade information, you'll have to just wait.
    Secondly Amazon already is offering preorder on the Family version of Leopard.
    Whether or not Leopard will work on your iMac G5 no one yet knows for sure.
    Historically though the disks that came with one Mac model can't be used on a different Mac model of different name or vintage. Whether that changes here, no one knows.
    Historically Macs can only run the operating system available at the time they are available, and newer operating systems up to the point the hardware can no longer handle the extras the new operating system offers. So if you wait until Leopard comes out to buy a MacBook, and your third party software has not been tested on the final release of Leopard, you may find incompatibilities. If you must get Leopard, get your new machine once you know that it is compatible with Leopard, but comes with Tiger, if you know all your software is compatible with Intel version of Tiger, or wait until all your third party software you depend on has been tested with the final release of Leopard as it ships and not just the developer preview. Since Leopard has not yet been released, nor have its compatible machines been announced you'd still be guessing when making such a plan.

  • Easiest way to upgrade from Apple Mac OS X 10.5, Leopard to Mountain Lion or Lion without buying Snow Leopard?

    I have a 2009 Macbook Pro with Apple Mac OS X 10.5, Leopard on it and I'm starting to get annoyed with the fact that some stuff is not compatible with this OSX anymore. I would like to be able to upgrade to Mountain Lion or Lion but without having to fork out £15 on Snow Leopard when it won't get used, or should I upgrade to Snow Leopard and not bother about upgrading to Lion or Mountain Lion.
    Thanks in advance
    Matt

    You have to get Snow Leopard first.
    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    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 at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
    You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (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:

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Install Failed

    Trying to upgrade a Power Mac Dual G5 from Mac OS X Tiger to Leopard 10.5. When I try to install the Leopard Disc, I keep getting an "Install Failed" message. This is what is said:
    Install Failed
    Mac OS X could not be installed on your computer
    The source media you are installing from is damaged. Try installing from a different copy of the source media or contact the manufacturer for a replacement.
    Click restart to restart your computer and try installing again.
    Now, I've used this disc once before for an upgrade on a laptop and worked fine, just started to fail when used on the G5. The disc is not scratched, nor looks damaged. Not sure why it's saying damaged? Any insightful knowledge would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    The install disks I have are the ones he got with his Mac Mini. Are there different install disks for iMacs? On the disks themselves, it says "for Mac computers."
    Do I have to buy an OS which is specifically for iMac?
    The discs that came with his computer have only the necessary software pieces needed to run his computer--it lacks the drivers that would be needed run your iMac. (In addition, installing the same copy of the OS on two computers would be a violation of the license, even if it worked.)
    You need to buy a retail version of Leopard or Snow Leopard. Since your iMac has an intel processor, you can buy the cheaper Snow Leopard ($29) from the "Store" tab at the top of this page or anywhere that sells Mac software.

    AFAIK, there's no app that'll clone the Mac and PC volumes so you can restore them. System Image Utility.app or Deploy Studio for Mac and Ghost for PC are needed. See these for starters:
