NetInstall dosen't work for intel machines

When booting the machines in my lab while holding down the OPTION key, only the G5 and earlier machines are giving me the icon for NetInstall. NetInstall works great on the G5 and earlier, but dosen't work at all on any intel machine I've tried. The image is marked as "Universal" in Server Manager, and is an image from an intel MacBook.
Leopard Server 10.5.1
I have 20 new iMac's in route. I really need NetInstall to work for them. Any help would be appreciated.

You say that your NetInstall was taken from an Intel MacBook. Was its OS Leopard? If it is Leopard then you do have a bizarre problem on your hands as it is Universal. Tiger client, on the other hand, is not Universal.
How new are the target clients? Could they have been shipped with a build of Leopard newer than the one you've based this NetInstall on?

  • Does FCP HD 4.5 work on Leopard? also, is it UB for Intel machines?

    I have FCP HD 4.5 on my PPC G5 running 10.4.10
    but is this version compatible with Leopard?
    also, I'm thinking of buying a macbook pro
    is v4.5 a universal binary compatible on the new intel machines as well?
    or will it at least function well in rosetta?

    Honestly...
    If you were going to be keeping 4.5 - I'd just dedicate this machine for editing and buy a nice new mac for your fun office work.
    FC 4.5 is NOT UB and will run in rosetta... but function well?? Hard to tell...

  • Configure File Type Associations dosen't work for users

    Hi EB,
    Does anyones knows how to set the File Type Associations for users ? It works for me when i'm logged in as Admin but not as a user. When logged as user it always ask to configure the file associations when i open JDev and even with JDev open it does not set it. I tried to find an article about that but couldn't find any.
    I'm using :
    winXP SP3
    JDeveloper 11g TP4
    and i've sets all rights for autentified users on the folders and subfolders of JDeveloper.
    Thanks

    I tried going on tool>preferences>File Type .... and associate projets and source and applications files with JDev check marking "open with JDev"... it didn't worked as user... it's just not saving my settings while reopening it it's never saved... at least i've been able to associate it in my Admin account then i can go back in user account and select open file with in windows, choose JDev and check mark "always open that file with that program" only after that the association is saved in JDev... but still it open the Configuration file windows at startup with the ones i already opened with JDev checked... anyway that's not a big issue ... only that i can't save those settings by the JDev environement while logged in as a user...

  • Function recording_off dosen't work for EHP5

    Hi Expert,
           I am using function "Recording_off" in eCATT. The transport requirement for current client in SCC4 is deactived by this function. But I found there are some transaction codes like FSE2&GCL2 still need transport request when eCATT performed. But if the transport requirement is deactive by t-code SCC4, tcode like FSE2&GCL2don't any transport anymore. It is happen in EHP5 system, EHP4 system don't have this issue.
           Any clue to solve this issue?

  • @value tag dosen't work for java.math.BigInteger constants

    Is there anything I can do to get the Javadoc {@value} tag to document the value of BigInteger constants?
    I presume the issue applies to any object constants, but, BigInteger is all I need.
    Thanks for any advice.

    I apologize, I should have supplied more context....
    Here is my sample source
    package ...;
    import java.math.BigInteger;
    public class TestJavaDoc
    * TEST_STRING has value {@value}
    public static final String TEST_STRING = "IFQ Permit ";
    * TEST_BIG_INTEGER has value {@value}
    * Should also work like this {@value #TEST_BIG_INTEGER}
    * Constant ONE has a value {@value BigInteger#ONE}
    public static final BigInteger TEST_BIG_INTEGER = BigInteger.valueOf(1000);
    Here is the generated Javadoc, where you can see that @value works for a String, but fails for BigInteger....
    TEST_STRING
    public static final java.lang.String TEST_STRING
    TEST_STRING has value "IFQ Permit "
    TEST_BIG_INTEGER
    public static final java.math.BigInteger TEST_BIG_INTEGER
    TEST_BIG_INTEGER has value {@value}
    Should also work like this {@value}
    Constant ONE has a value {@value}

  • Will this hard drive work for Time Machine?

    Am I stooging over here? My son (12 years old) recommends a Seagate Expansion  1TB external hard drive. On sale for $79 from NewEgg. I order it. Plug it in to my Mac Book Pro and want to use Time Machine to back up my Macbook. The Mac says I need to initialize it. I hit OK. Disk Utility opens up. I can't see an option to initialize.
    I go to Seagate's website... no mention of OSX (Lion). Only Windows. Upon a closer look at the box it came in it says Windows is a requirement. No mention of OSX.
    Can I initialize it. Isn't a hard drive a hard drive? Do I have to return it?
    And I thought I knew what I was doing...
    Thanks,
    Markoman.

    Thanks Linc. There is a flip down Format window. The 2 OSX options are "Journaled" and "Case Sensitive, Journaled".
    What's the difference?

  • Look Ahead Lov dosen't work for SubTab layout

    Hi,
    I have developed a custom page which can have multiple tabs.
    When there is only one tab, everything works fine. Now when i try to copy a bid , which opens a new tab, and try to enter a valid value in the LOV field. I get a message saying 'Unable to fetch results. Please invoke the LOV window for search results'.
    One more Observation here is , when an invalid item is entered and tabbed out, the Lov window should open up automatically. Which doesn’t happen for the second tab. Everything works fine when there is only one tab.
    Please assist on this issue.
    Thanks

    same problem here. Has there been any update on how to fix it?

  • How does FCE upgrade work for new machines

    I currently have a iMac G4 that I use FCE 2 on. I want to upgrade to FCE 3.5 HD which I see no problem with doing. I am also thinking about upgrading my hardware to a new Intel based iMac someday. Will I be able to use the upgrade FCE 3.5 software and the serial numbers from my FCE 2 to install on the newer hardware?
    I guess I don't see why not but thought I whould ask before making the purchase.
    Thanks

  • Installing Tiger 10.4 on an intel machine

    Hi,
    I recently sold a copy of OSX 10.4 Tiger (the 5 license family pack version) to someone on ebay. The disc was the first incarnation of Tiger, bought on the day of release last year, and I sold the software as I now have upgraded all 3 of my machines to intel and therefore have the appropriate licences for individual machines.
    The problem I have is that the person I sold the disc to, says he cannot install this disc on an intel 'mac' that he has built himself and he now wants to return the software.
    I did say in my ebay description that the disc would work with intel machines-was I right in saying this? Could 10.4 be installed on a 'proper' mac and then be upgraded to 10.4.8 via the software update and everything be fine?
    The only reason I am asking this is because if I accept the software back then I will be out of pocket by £10 at least-ebay fees, shipping & paypal fees.
    Regards,
    Richard

    I did say in my ebay description that the disc would work with
    intel machines-was I right in saying this?
    You were not right. The Tiger retail install package is for PPC Macs only.
    There is no reason for Apple to provide a Tiger Universal retail install package which is required to install Tiger on an Intel or PPC Mac since all Intel Macs ship with a Tiger Intel version.
    When Leopard is introduced next spring, the Leopard retail install package will be Universal.
    The problem I have is that the person I sold the disc to, says
    he cannot install this disc on an intel 'mac' that he has built himself
    and he now wants to return the software.
    It is not possible for someone to build an Intel Mac but it is possible for someone to build an Intel PC and it is against Apple's license agreement to install OS X on anything other than a Mac.
    You should advertise your Tiger install package as a full retail install package which can be used to install Tiger on any PPC Mac that meets the minimum system requirements for Tiger.

  • Disk warrior for intel imac

    will diskwarrior 3.0.3 work with the intel mac? I have a g4 imac with tiger. I updated diskwarrior recently. I bought a new iMac and would like to know if I can use diskwarrior. will Rosetta help it along or do I have to wait til Alsoft issues an intel update?

    Presently the only disk utility that is known to work is Disk Utility (Intel version.)
    Read my tip on migrating to Intel-Macs:
    A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
    If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
    Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3 or G4 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
    Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
    Screensavers written for the PowerPC
    System Preference add-ons
    All Unsanity Haxies
    Browser and other plug-ins
    Contextual Menu Items
    Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
    Kernel extensions
    Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
    See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
    In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
    If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
    If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers. These versions are not universal binaries and will not work on Intel-Macs. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
    The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the only current choice is USB Overdrive. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
    Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior (does not work), TechTool Pro (does not work), SuperDuper (newest release works), and Drive Genius (untested) may not work properly on Intel-Macs. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.
    Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

  • Optimum external HD size -- is there a ratio for Time Machine performance.

    Due to the needs of Time Machine, I will need to purchase more external HD. I own one, a Maxtor 500G networked. Like it a lot, very reliable, not a true server but handy for everyone to use. Won't work for Time Machine, however. So, what I'd like to determine is what I should do for for each Mac in the house.
    (2) MacBooks with 160G capacity, approximately 110G in use (they're teenagers afterall)
    1 iMac w/ 500G capacity, two users (separate iPhoto, iTunes folders) and 151GB in use. Also, as there are two users with backup needs, should I partition the External in half?
    Is there a handy ratio to use from the Apple folks?

  • Lion Install does not work, says "This disk is used for Time Machine backups"

    I'm having trouble installing Lion onto my macbook pro intel core 2 duo. 
    I am backing up my computer with an external drive using TimeMachine, but i've disconnected it.  Also i'm running SL 10.6.8  
    I have a windows 7 partition that was created with boot camp.
    I've tried to make sure everything is all ready for lion but when I go to install lion it says "This disk is used for Time Machine backups" and the hard drive is grayed out.
    Same problem as this guy: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3190321?start=0&tstart=0
    I'm hearing that a file called "Backups.backupdb" is on the top level of the hard drive, but I see no such file.  I've looked at the invisible files and I cant find it.
    I've also created a bootable flash copy of the lion install but that does not work It gives me the same message "This disk is used for time Machine backups".

    "Backups.backupdb" if the file in Time Machine.  As the discussion says, you have to find that file and trash it.  Try spotlight to locate it.  If that does not work, down load OmniDiskSweeper from the Internet (free) and go through an organized search to find "Backups.backupdb".  If that takes too long or is too tedious, then if you have everything backed up, erase the HDD and start from square one.
    Ciao.
