MSN mail not compatible with Leopard?

Is it true that I can't retrieve or send any mail through the Leopard e-mail from my MSN mail account? I just bought the iPhone and I can't do it from there either. I have the accounts set up but it always gives me an error message "pop3.email.msn.com server connection failed". Do I really need to change my e-mail in order to use this feature?

POP access to your hotmail (or windows live mail) is only a very recent happening that microsoft let out. Follow the instructions [here|http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=157589] to access it through mail. Or you can you a plugin for mail called [HTTPMail|http://www.automagic-software.com/downloads.php] which will let you access it as well.

Tried updating firefox but it is not compatible with leopard op. If I try to re-install the older version will my bookmarks still be there?

Current Firefox versions require a Mac with an Intel processor and OS X 10.6.
Firefox 16 is the last version that runs on Intel Mac OS X 10.5.
You would have to update to OS X 10.6 to be able to use current Firefox releases.
Last Firefox for Mac OS X 10.5:

Device Central CS3 NOT compatible with Leopard

I just upgraded to OS X Leopard and Device Central CS3 is no
longer usable. OS X says it is "not supported on this
architecture," as if the machine was PowerPC (it is an Intel
MacBook Pro). All the Adobe support docs says DC is compatible so I
don't know how to resolve this situation.

CS3 device central is fully compatible with Leopard ...for me its running fine

Disk Utility not compatible with Leopard

Disk Utility does not work.
When I run "Repair Permissions", all errors are unable to be fixed.
The same error messages appear when starting up with the Leopard DVD (pressing "C" during start) via the Disk Utility from the menu.
Now, I am stuck because iTunes will not import anything.
Please help!

Alright, then that's okay.
I managed to solve the mystery of the iTunes files.
It turns out that although the file extensions were the same (.AIFF), I had inadvertently selected Apple/SGI 32 bit (float) = not compatible.
The solution was to select Apple/SGI16 bit (PCM) = compatible with iTunes.
Now how will we be able to rely on Disk Utilities when it reports false information?

Can't open Itunes. Update states system not compatible with leopard 10.5.8

I was trying to sync music to my Iphone through my Computer, Mac 0S X Leopard version 10.5.8. Couldn't open iTunes. There was a update for iTunes and I downloaded it but before it could be loaded to my computer, it said my operating system needed to be 10.6.8. Where and what should I be looking for to update iTunes on my computer?
Greg

Greg,
If you can update your computer to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 that would be the smartest thing to do. Otherwise you can restore an earlier version of iTunes from your Time Machine backup. You can purchase Snow Leopard from Apple's online store for $20 and then use the 10.6.8 Combo Update to get the most up-to-date version of SL. You can find that download at:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Before doing ANY update make sure you have have backed up your system using Time Machine or create a bootable clone onto an external HD using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner.

Tiger AB Archive not importing with Leopard AB.

I have my address book backed up as an archive under Tiger, now I am on Leopard and I want to import my contacts, I use the import Address Book Archive from the Menu Bar, it asks if it is OK to replace all my current contacts, I click Yes, and... nothing happens!
Anyone have any idea what the problem may be? I am using a totally clean install of Leopard, hence the need to import an Archive.
Thanks,
Anil.

I have the same problem, the import of my Tiger Address Book file won't work.
I initially started out from an Archive & Install of Leopard, and dragged the /Application Support/Address Book/ folder from the archive to the correct location on the new install.
Nothing showed up in Address Book. I then grabbed an AB export/backup I had from Tiger and tried to import that - again nothing worked.
Here's what Console tells me:
*05/11/07 13.25.06 Address Book[8769] The NSManagedObject with ID:0x3d9a80 <x-coredata://6F0B0E0D-CF51-4D98-A5FB-CAB9A9BD67B6/ABCDCustomProperty/p1> has been invalidated.*
*05/11/07 13.25.15 AddressBookManager[8808] Records in database: 2*
*05/11/07 13.25.15 AddressBookManager[8808] Records in metadata: 1*
*05/11/07 13.25.15 AddressBookManager[8808] Records without metadata: {(*
"A2C25347-DAA6-4465-90CF-506AAA4B3E98:ABPerson"
Is this an indicator that a record or entry in my old Address Book is not compatible with Leopard perhaps?
I've heard many others have the same problem, has anyone found a fix for this? I did of course try to restart AB, even restarted my MacBook Pro but nothing.

Seagate/Maxtor not compatible with TimeMachine

The Seagate/Maxtor OneTouch III hard drives are not compatible with Leopard's TimeMachine. The drives have a built-in sleep timer that puts them into a non-recoverable sleep after a certain amount of time. I was told by the Seagate/Maxtor Customer support that this setting could be changed with provided SW but only on non-Leopard machines. Otherwise, their only solution is to keep Mac from ever going to sleep or to disconnect all cables from the drive before the Mac is put to sleep or turned off.
If the drive goest to sleep (Mac will pop a warning that a "device was unmounted improperly) the only way to start it is to turn off the drive, pull the DC connector out, unplug the firewire connector (a must!) and then reconnect everything and turn on the power switch.
They refuse to warn the buyers through a sticker on a box, etc. They also refuse to fix their product or refund the money.
Other Seagate/Maxtor drives may have similar problems.

Yep! I own the OneTouch III Turbo. It has two 500Gb drives inside and a hardware RAID controller to select between RAID-0 striped drives vs. RAID-1 mirrored drives. I've noticed that the utility to control the drive's RAID configuration (among other things) will launch, but not work correctly, under Leopard.
I phoned them waaaay back when and they didn't know what the problem was. Now they've figured out that their software doesn't work under Leopard, posted a message to their support forums to the effect, and claim their "working on it". It's been 3 months.... not a peep out of them.
They act as though Leopard just came out so they couldn't possibly be expected to have this working. Apparently they are unaware of the Apple Developer Connection which anyone can join and allows early access to software... even Leopard. ADC members had Leopard builds ages ago. Apparently Seagate/Maxtor chose not to take advantage.
It is not ok for a backup solution vendor to not support major OS upgrades that we all saw coming more than a year back. Nor respond to it when it arrives, nor post any information for customers who only just bought the drive and don't know why it wont work. We're all in the dark.
I've learned through this experience and realize now that Seagate/Maxtor cannot be relied upon. I'll be buying my drives from someone else from now on.

Mail app deleted and reinstall wont open, says not compatible with OSX

i accindetally deleted my mail app and emptied the trash, when I tried to reinstall from the startup disk, it installs but wont open, saying that the version of mail is not compatible with the version of OSX (10.5.8)

The Combo updater of Leopard 10.5.8 can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
There is no downloadable version of Mail.app - it comes with the operating system i.e. on your install disks.

Mail Reinstall Not Compatible With 10.6.8

I reinstalled Mail from my Snow Leopard installation DVD and now i get a message saying that the current version (4.2) is not compatible with 10.6.8. I tried running the software update utility but it did not find an update for me. Is there any way to get the latest version of Mail for 10.6.8?
Thanks

Nor can I. Something you did or did not do is at the root of your problem. I have no idea what that is because I don't know what actually preceded this. I've had this happen many times with different applications and have never had a complication fixing it.
I can only suggest doing the following in hope this will work for you.
1. Move the Mail application to the Trash (do not Empty.)
2. Boot from the Snow Leopard DVD then:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
3. Reinstall Snow Leopard:
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Go to the Applications folder and verify there is a new Mail program installed, but do not attempt to run it.
4. Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
5. Open Software Update and install any additional updates shown.
This will take some time to accomplish, but hopefully will return you to normal.

I was using OS Snow Leopard and on 8/1/13 I downloaded Mountain Lion. Then I found out it was not compatible with my HP Printer (HP Photosmart C5580 all-in-one) so I called Apple support and the tech told me to erase the hard drive instead of going in the time machine. Well I did that and then it took about three hours three days a week for about three weeks on the phone with an apple tech to get all my stuff back on my computer. I have had trouble with my printer (won't do the scan anymore and wasn't printing on my DVDs. Also the computer keeps freezing up when it is in the sleep mode, etc.
When I tried to list my problem on this forum it lists your OS at the bottom and mine had Mountain Lion listed as what I was using so apparently it didn't erase it. Want to know how to get Mountain Lion off and put my Snow Leopard on so things start working right.

Go to the  menu/About This Mac - what OS version shows there?
Do a backup, preferably 2 separate ones on 2 separate drives.
Revert to a Previous OS X
Revert to Snow Leopard
If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience.

Hello:
You need to contact "epost." The issue is not an Apple issue....the epost software needs, I assume, to be updated.

Hello royalaqua,
I do think you should ask yourself if upgrading to Lion is the right course to take.
Snow Leopard is an excellent OS and Lion has literally been frozen out after barely a year. Remember too that some of your apps may not work with Lion (those that have Rosetta, for example) so that could mean more new purchases. Plus you may need to uprate your RAM too.

How can I find Lion to download it to my Mac Boook/ It is the white plastic model and is now running Snow Leopard. It has 4 GB of Ram but this computer is not compatible with MOuntain Lion. I cannot find Lion anywhere.

How can I find Lion to download it to my Mac Book? It has Snow Leopard and 4GB RAM but it the white plastic model and is not compatible with Mountain Lion. I have been told by the Genius Bar that it will handle Lion.

That underpowered model is better left on 10.6.8 for performance reasons, also the fact that it's dated and 10.7 will likely require you to buy alll new software to replace the PPC based software your currently using.
If you insist, then call Apple via phone and they will sell you 10.7 Lion and provide a link to download it.
My 2¢ is to save up for a new machine, as that one is about to kick the bucket, they only last about 4.5 years or so depending upon use/enviroment.
If your having problems with 10.6.8, perhaps some of the links here can assist, 10.6 is faster than 10.7 in fresh install tests.
Why is my computer slow?

E-mailed File "The project is not compatible with the current version of Premiere Elements"

I have Version 12 on a PC.
My friend has Version 12 on a MAC.
E-mailed him a file.
He could not open, and a message box popped up: "The project is not compatible with the current version of Premiere Elements".
Could someone kindly asssit, this does not make sense as to why it is not opening, since both computers are using the same version.
Thank you,
Ben

As said, you cannot open a Premiere Elements 12 Windows project file (named project.prel) in Premiere Elements 12 Mac. And vice versa.
Details
Given that your source is imported into a Premiere Elements 12 Windows project and placed on its Timeline for edit. That Timeline content cannot get out of the program without export. Export choices are found in the Publish+Share section of the program.
In your case, you want to take the Timeline content of Premiere Elements 12 Windows and export it to a format with which Premiere Elements 12 Mac supports (look at .mov or .mp4). In this regard, in Premiere Elements 12 Windows look at Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD and one of its .mp4 presets or Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime and one of its .mov presets (suggested H.264 video codec).
Those exports will be saved to the computer hard drive of the Windows computer. Then email the .mov or .mp4 file (beforehand, check the
email carrier's specification for that). Depending on the circumstances, you could transfer the file to a USB Flash Drive for the sharing.
Remember, sharing the .mov and .mp4 involves "whole" video. Depending on the edits, the video may need to be cut by the receipent. You are not dealing with the project file. The story would be different if this sharing and editing is done from Premiere Elements Windows to Premiere Elements Windows. And, if that were the case, then you would have to assure that the source media of the project traveled with the project file. (See Project Archiver feature of the program.)
That is a rough sketch of the situation. I can fine tune the details further if necessary.
Please review and consider.
Thanks.
