NeoOffice wont work in Leopard

The program appears in its menu bar, but all options are dead. You cannot even exit without using the force quit under the apple menu. Any attempts to open a document only results in a blank screen.

A re-install of NeoOffice did the trick. Apparently there is something in 10.5 that just doesn't quite pickup the old apps.

Fire wire isight wont work with leopard

I have a g4 power book and since i updated to Leopard my isight camera wont work with ichat or any other application, it wont recognize the camera. Does this mean its incompatible? How can i fix the issue?

Welcome to Apple Discussions, gavz
It is compatible.
Try the suggestions in How to test your (external) iSight to ensure it is functional.

Hard drive wont work on leopard after using mountain lion

My current imac at home runs on 10.5.8 which i think is Leopard.
I have been using an external hard drive for over a year with my mac. A few days ago i decided to use my hard drive on my work imac which runs on the new Mountain Lion operating system.
I have since then tried using my external hard drive on my own imac and it does not appear on my desktop or in finder.
I have used disk utility to try repair and mount but neither worked.
My brother has a macbook pro running on snow leopard, i tried plugging it into his which appeared with the following message;
To use this disk, connect it to a Mac with Mac OSX v10.7 or later installed.
Can anyone help with this issue?

I remember when i used the hard drive on my work computer i created an encryption in order to stop others from viewing my files while i was away from my desk. Could this have something to do with the fact I cannot use the hard drive on my home imac?
Could be. I've never encrypted a disk, so don't know if that's affecting things. Try unencrypting it, copying the data elsewhere, erasing & reformatting, and restoring the data.
I have been wanting to upgrade to mountain lion for a while but unforunately i cannot download the app store to do so. If there was any way of upgrading i think that might solve the problem.
Don't know if upgrading will solve the problem, but suspect not. Do note that you have to upgrade to Snow Leopard before Lion/ML.

About 3 hrs work in total ...... thankyou Microsoft.

Parallels wont work after leopard install

I recently installed the Leopard update. I have been running parallels on my mac but ever since I installed the upgrade I cannot get my windows xp to work. I can switch over but when I open it none of the windows programs will open. HELP!!!

I had this same problem. Parallels wouldn't boot, instead it bounced and then gave me an error message. Yesterday, I tried to go to Parallels support but it was broken. Today, I just opened up Parallels and it worked. Go figure. I have build 4128 from 9 June 2007. Parallels support is saying they are in the process of integrating their centers.
For an explanation of upgrading to build 5584 go to:

Have fun and try not to spend too much time using that Windows junk.

Eject button wont work after leopard install

Once i installed leopard my eject button stopped working on my G5. I have to restart the computer for it to work. Is there anyway to get it to work without having to restart it every time? Should i reinstall Leopard because im missing iphoto and a couple other programs since the first install so i dont know if im missing more?

just a thought .... Leopard uses the "soft" eject feature which requires you to hold down the eject for a second before the tray will open. Helps when you accidentally hit it.
i-Life, i.e., iPhoto,iWeb,iMovie, Garageband, doesn't come with Leopard, you now have to purchase these separate. Unless you buy an Apple computer.
Hope this helps

Recently purchased Sim City 4, wont work on Snow Leopard because it requires 'Rosetta'.

Through research i've discovered Rosetta only works with 10.2.8. Having downloaded the installation of 10.2, i've tried partitioning an SD to install it on, but it wont work. What else can i do? I've searched long & hard to get this game on Mac OS

Ignorance is a sin on this forum punishable by the rants of those seriously ego-maniacal members.
While patience is a virtue, and to give is divine; let's take a deep breath and see if we can understand your problem and deal with a solution.
You want to run Sim City 4 on your modern day Intel Mac. It was written for the PowerPC G4 era Macs running OS X 10.2.8 or better. During the TIger-era, OS X 10.4, Apple switched from the PowerPC CPU platform to Intel and in a sweepingly brilliant move, licensed technology that they utilized under the name of Rosetta, to transparently run PowerPC software on Intel Macs. This transition was successfully completed with few hiccups!
After approximately five years of allowing PPC apps to run in Rosetta (and due to Apple's license to continue to incorporate Rosetta into future versions of OS X expiring), with the introduction of Lion, OS X 10.7, it no longer incorporates Rosetta or the ability to natively run PowerPC applications. Intel Tiger and Leopard versions of OS X automatically install Rosetta, but in Snow Leopard it is an optional install.
Your best bet at this point is: insert the Snow Leopard Install DVD, go to Options and select and install Rosetta.
While I am not sure if Sim City 4 will run on Snow Leopard, I did find this caution in Wikipedia:
Intel Macintoshes
The game has major flaws when operating on computers by Apple using Intel processors. Aspyr released a beta of a patch to fix the problems in 2007, but the patch was never finalized and many bugs remain. Some have a serious impact on playability,[19] including frequent crashes if a city exceeds 95,000 population, flawed display of the water surface, frequent blurring or replacement of objects with random other objects, and an inability to significantly accelerate the vehicle in driving mode that prevents many gameplay features from being unlocked.
Good luck!

QT Pro wont work when updating to Snow Leopard

Both Snow Leopard 10.6.2
On my iMac I have QT and and older version (PRO) and all is fine.
ON my laptop I have QT and and older version (PRO?) and Pro wont work - I Get Message
saying "Can't use this version this (you have QT player 7.0.4)
How do can I get my old pro version working? Can I DL it separately and then key in my regis numbers?
Frankly I prefer Pro over the new SNL version of QT
PS Dont have old instal disk with my laptop

Can't use this version this (you have QT player 7.0.4)
The only QT 7 version currently compatible with Snow Leopard is v7.6.3 which is found in the extras package on the Snow Leopard installation disc. (Assuming it was not already installed in your "Utilities" folder if QT 7 Pro was already active on your platform when you installed Snow Leopard.)

Built in Isight wont work with IChat

I have the New Macbook and i have used Ichat Video before but now it wont work, i get this message:this computer dose not support video conferencing
anyone help?

Adequate.
The Upload is acceptable.
iChat will fail at 50kbps (In Video chats with a message)
The Lowest Spec Apple Suggests for 1-1 Video is 100kbps
The lowest Apple Spec for 3 and 4 way Video chats is 384k but I have done passable ones at 256k.
If System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming is left at Automatic in Leopard iChat reads this as 384k (it should be set to 1.5Mbps and iChat restarted if Changed)
Have you tested at different times ?
IS that the Best speed with the service you have ?
Is that speed near what they say they are selling you ?
The Speeds you quote should not get you the Too Slow Info message.
Is that Internet Connection shared with other computers ?
Were you doing a download ?
Both will effect the amount of the Speed (called Bandwidth) that you get.
Think of a Freeway as you enter a city in rush hour. It might be a road you can do the national speed Limit but you may not be able to go that fast due to other traffic.

Hi,
I would try a Safe Boot first. (This will take longer than a normal Boot and you will need to Restart afterwards).
If it were an older OS I would also suggest going to System Preferences > Displays and making sure the display is set to Millions. (My MacBook Pro does not have this option in Snow Leopard so I did presume Snow Leopard does not have it).
With some laptops there have been some issues with the cable up the back of the screen pulling loose with regular and frequent use of the lid, but this will not apply to you based on your specs. (it does take time to appear and is also somewhat rare). However it seems enough contact with the camera can make it appear in System Profiler and power it on but not give a pic.
If a Safe Boot does not work I would also try a PRAM reset.
Shut down the computer.
Restart it holding down Apple/CMD (or ⌘)+ALT( ⌥)+P+R Keys until you have heard three Start Up Bongs.
This is actually "less" destructive in that it clears less memory items than Safe Boot but they are different enough to warrant trying.
Do you have an older version of iGlasses installed ?
The one for Leopard does not work for Snow Leopard.
Do you have Web Browser open ?
This may point to Google Video Chat Plug-in and Flash Conflict. It would be rare to allow another app to access the camera even if not displayiong a Pic.
(Chrome Installs the Plug-in as does the standalone download).
Knowing what "any application" exactly you are trying might help us pin it down.
Any additional downloaded apps that can use the camera ?
Do you happen to have something balck in front of the camera ?

Garage band wont work, need to install midi or audio drivers?

tried backing up my comp to install OSX leopard but failed. now garage band wont work! I keep getting this message...also want to know if its possible to upgrade to osx leopard with a 4th gen macbook that runs osx 10.4.11
*garageband has detected a possible conflict between one or more third party midi or audio drivers.*
Be sure to install the latest drivers for all audio and MIDI equipment connected to your computer. For instructions on removing older drivers, consult the manufacturers' documentation.

Im having the same problem, I upgraded my IMAC and was using tiger and I upgraded it to MAC 10.5.7, now GarageBand wont work saying my midi and audio drivers arent correct. My Reason 4.0 wont start either saying the same thing failed to open the midi library. My Protools works fine but I dont know how to update the audio and midi drivers that it matches the software I uploaded. I also went to the audio midi set up and it read, Audio MIDI Setup was unable to launch the MIDI Server. This means that you will be unable to view or edit your MIDI configurations.
Improperly written MIDI drivers can prevent the MIDI Server from launching successfully. If you have recently installed a new MIDI driver, try uninstalling it and then relaunching Audio MIDI Setup. If Audio MIDI Setup works correctly after that, then please contact the driver's manufacturer for further support.

Eject button wont work

well ever since i upgraded from Panther to Leopard my eject button wont work. i have to restart my whole computer for it to work and that gets tedious after a while. when you first turn on the the G5 it doesnt work no matter how long you hold the button down, unless you restart it so can anyone help?

Yea, having to hold the button for second or two right? Unless i restart the computer that doesnt work and i could hold the eject button down for days without a thing happening. I did the menu eject and that doesnt work either.

New iMac and iDVD just wont work!

All,
Just got a new iMac and iDVD just wont work, from creating a new project, or opening an old one, or trying to share from iMovie (HD)
If I try to do anything nothing seems to happen and when I close the program a window does appear and from there it just freezes.
Have deleted and reinstalled iDVD, repaired permissions, all up to date in my on software updates...any ideas?
Thanks
Zara

*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
iDVD pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/ zzzzzzzzzz
or
Macintosh HD/Users/Your log-in//Library/Application Support/iDVD/Installed Themes/ zzzzzzzzzz
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.
If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
iDVD updated ?
Apple Codec updated ?
Start a New Clean project - or delete project assets
No of Colors - must be set to millions
EdinSF writes that, The 10.6.3 update with an Open GL fix seems to have taken care of the problem.

External isight wont work with imac g4

Hello,
I recently purchased a second hand isight camera using ebay.
I have an older imac g4 and the isight wont work with it at all.
I have scoured the forums on this topic and looked through all of EZ Jim's suggestions but I think my problem is a little bit different.
I'll explain exactly what happens and my troubleshooting so far...
The imac G4 is powered off, I plug in the external isight via firewire 400
The imac boots up into leopard 10.5.8 (using leopard assist)
In system profiler the isight is listed under the firewire tab.
( I can post system profiler info on this if its needed)
When I turn on the camera ichat launches, but then in the video tab it says no camera is connected.
Photobooth just has the no camera sign, but interestingly when ichat is opened photobooth says "camera off"
sometimes photobooth even lets me click the photo button, it counts down but then it doesnt take a picture... obviously!
Skype doesnt work.
I have an imac 24" running snow leopard 10.6.6 .... that also detects the camera but it won't work with any application such as skype or ichat.
I have tried (on my G4) unplugging my usb bluetooth module but nothing changes.
My G4 is connected via ethernet to an external router.
The firewire cable seems ok, I dont have any other firewire devices, but if it was a problem with the BUS or the cable then im guessing it wouldnt show in system profiler.
I am thinking the camera is probably damaged, but before I start a paypal enquiry I would like to see if it is just my computer or a setting i need to change.
(oh I used the application isight updater in core services but the install button is greyed out)
Any help would be amazing!!
Thanks!!!

Well, about all you can do would be to try a different and known good
FireWire cable, as a replacement for what may be a defective FW400
cable that came with the iSight camera. The cable can be defective
with one bad wire, yet sometimes appear available to the computer.
• How to Troubleshoot iSight (note external vs internal)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2090
• iMac G5 (iSight), & Intel-based iMac: Using External video camera:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2819
If you know of someone with an older Mac without a built-in iSight
camera, to test that one on, this may be an OK idea. Not sure if you
could get any traction by taking the camera to an Apple Specialist
and ask if they could check it out for you; that may also cost you.
{And since your computer does not officially support Leopard 10.5,
the other avenues of support would probably not be open to you.
At least not with the old iMac G4 and an unsupported 10.5 install.}
I have an external iSight camera which was included with my G4 Mini
1.5GHz model, and that appeared to work OK with 10.5.8 at one point.
But I really have no need for it, since I don't use photobooth & so on.
And haven't tried that with my iMac G4 computers at all. No need to.
With a computer not equipped with an iSight camera, the Leopard 10.5
installation should still support the eventual addition of one; even if the
computer itself appears to not officially support a Leopard 10.5 install.
(You refer to Leopard Assist, a means to install in slower CPU Macs.)
The FW cable is about the most easy to consider at this point.
In the course of a year, I've found good replacement cables at
several places, even those at thrift stores in perfect shape, work
and I use them for FW external hard disk drives, primarily. To have
spares is nearly always a good idea. Test & keep known good ones.
I'm not certain how the external iSight FW camera may work on
a newer Intel-based 24" iMac with a built-in iSight camera, too.
Does your 24" computer have FireWire 400+800 ports? Can you
choose an external iSight camera and ignore the built-in one?
These secondary topics have probably been discussed in the other
forum area for Intel-based iMac computer models; if you chose to
try & use that camera with a model computer with one built-in...
• Apple - Support - Discussions: for Intel-based iMac
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=189
There is a possibility, if never tried and the iMac G4 computer was
acquired second-hand, that the FW port within it may be band; but
the cable is the first item since it is cheapest, in troubleshooting.
So, anyway, the hour is late here (1AM) so hopefully the matter
can be resolved with a known-good replacement FW400 cable.
You should not have to restart the iMac G4 (800?) model in order
to get a FireWire item to be recognized. It should appear in the
System Profiler's list under FireWire, such as things normally do.
Of course, the camera could be defective as well. Been some
time since they were available on sale, new from Apple...
You could ask around to find out if there is a way to use that
external iSight camera with your newer Intel-based 24" Mac
by someone having it ignore its own built-in camera; in a
way as to not affect its normal operation, that is.
Good luck & happy computing!
