Netinstall Leopard Installer DVD with iLife 08

Has anyone been able to use the leopard installer dvd and ilife 08 installer dvd to create a netinstall image to update machines through netboot?
I am trying now, but the iLife install never installs! I'm not sure why, but I can get other packages I made to install. Same for most of the updates from apple. I want to install them, but they don't.
Any help appreciated.

Hi Grand, I maybe able to provide some light to your situation:
I too just bought my iMac recently and due to its shipment, the iMac comes installed with Mac OS 10.4 Tiger with iLife 08, that all comes in the Install DVDs that came with the iMac. In it is also an Upgrade Leopard DVD 10.5, this is just the Leopard Upgrade.
You have to upgrade to Leopard using this Upgrade DVD and then you will get Leopard and also iLife 08, which was already previously installed. My initial mistake when I open up my iMac was to immediately do a total Erase and Install of my iMac with the Leopard Upgrade DVD, then I realized it was an upgrade and because I did an Erase and Install, iLife 08 was "wiped off". (iLife 08 was in fact pre-installed together with the Tiger OS) so later I had to again erase and install Tiger, then just choose the Upgrade option in the Leopard DVD.
Maybe yours is the same case as I am??
Cheers

  • Upgrade HDD using Time Machine, but no Snow Leopard DVD, only Leopard installation DVD = kernel error on startup

    Hi guys and girls.
    Background
    I have a MacBook Pro (March 2009 vintage).  It was loaded with OS X Leopard on a 250GB HDD.  When Snow Leopard was released, I upgraded using a DVD bought from Apple.  In time, I added an external USB HDD to use for Time Machine Backups.  I am now, however, knocking up against the capacity limit of the original hard drive.
    Given the above, plus the fact that I no longer appear to have the Snow Leopard DVD (upgrade version I believe) - what is the recommended way to get back to my old setup (files, OS, settings etc), but with my new, larger HDD?
    So far I have tried:
    1. Formatting new HDD as Mac OS Extended (journaled), GUID partition having booted using my original (Leopard) installation DVD.  I then selected the latest Time Machine (Snow Leopard) backup.  After a couple of hours of restoring from that backup, the system restarted, but had kernel errors on bootup.
    2. As above, but when formatting, chose to zero all data.  This had the same end result.
    Questions:
    1. Are the kernel errors I'm experiencing due to the mismatch of booting off Leopard and restoring a Snow Leopard backup?
    2. Would finding my (or even a) Snow Leopard upgrade DVD help?  If so, how?
    3. What am I doing wrong generally?  I do like to try to understand these things!
    4. As above, what is the recommended way of doing what I'm trying to do, given the limitations of release DVDs etc.
    Many thanks

    Simplest thing would be to buy the retail SL installation disc ($20 USD) and use it to do the migration. There might be an issue trying to use a SL TM version with Leopard.

  • Update Leopard Installation DVD

    Hi All!
    I was a Windows User and Administrator for a long time, and with Windows Installation Disks I could update then to some Service Pack.
    I was wondering if it's possible to do with Leopard Installation DVD, if I could update it to 10.5.5 for example, so I wouldn't need to update it after install.
    Thanks!
    Tercio

    I'm not sure what you mean?
    You can actually download the updates from Software Update without automatically installing them.
    You can then save them on your Hard Drive or copy them onto a CD/DVD for use later.
    It's very useful if you ever have to reset your computer to its factory condition as you can just get the updates off the CD/DVD instead of downloading them again.
    You can choose "Download Only" from the Software Update menu.

  • Can I use my Macbook Leopard Installation DVD's on my iMac?

    Ok so I bought a new macbook yesterday and it has leopard. Can I use the leopard installation dvd's that it came with on my intel imac? Is this possible, or will the leopard installation dvd's not allow this?
    Cheers!

    The disks that come with the computer are only usable on that computer. The 10.5 upgrade disk may work on other machines but doing so would be in violation of the license which is for one computer. If you want to install on multiple machines you can get a five user "Family Pack" for $199

  • Slipstreaming 10.5.x updates into leopard installation dvd

    How is it possible to slipstream updates into a leopard installation DVD?
    For example, how can one integrate the recently released 10.5.1 update into a 10.5 installation DVD? If this is possible, the installation could be more efficient, because it's not necessary to update afterwards everything from scratch.
    I've been searching the internet, but apparently there isn't any information about this, which has been common practice with service packs for windows.

    @My White Dog, I repeat: First installing files and then replacing them afterwards isn't very efficient isn't it?
    @Core, if Slipy (not spelled as Slippy) could integrate these files into one, it would have been possible at least.

  • Trouble booting from Leopard installation DVD

    I'm having some trouble booting from the Leopard installation DVD, I was wondering if anyone here could help.
    I want to reset my administrator password since OS X does not seem to be accepting it, and I heard that the best way to do this would be to boot from a Mac OS X installation DVD or CD and change some settings. When I start up my computer with the Leopard DVD in the drive, I hold down the 'C' key after the chime, and continue to hold it until the spinning gear appears.
    From there, the spinning gear stays on the screen, and nothing happens. I've heard that it takes a while for the screen to come up, but I let it sit for over three hours and nothing happened. I also tried holding the Option key at startup and selecting the DVD, but the same thing happened. The DVD is in good shape and has no deep scratches, and it appears right away in the OS itself. I can't access the installer from the OS since it asks for my Administrator password, which it does not seem to be accepting. I also tried another solution to the Administrator password problem that involved typing some commands in Single User mode, but that did not help either.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    what exactly did you try to do in single user mode?

  • Custom Leopard boot DVD with third party apps

    I am trying to create an boot DVD single layer of Leopard in order to boot from another source than the Macintosh HD and use third party applications to do some maintenance on my new mac.
    How can we create a boot image to be burned on a DVD with extra third party apps on it which will be available after having booted from that DVD. For example, I might want to add a few extra application like iDefrag, TechTool, etc... I do want to have the choice of putting what I want and not use their boot disk utilities to create the DVD.
    I could not find anything regarding add such third party apps, but I do not how to create a slimmed down version of Leopard that fits on a single layer instead of a dual layer like my original.

    Thanks,

    Ok then if I follow these instruction to create a clone on iPod (http://lifehacker.com/338574/install-leopard-with-your-ipod), then removed the extra stuff, could I add a few apps or I will still be stuck with the installation interface of Leopard when I boot from this?
    I know coriolis CDMaker can do a quick bootable DVD of Leopard with its apps on it, but it is pretty customised to their application and only see their app, no options to browse through the content of the bootable DVD.

  • Backup of Leopard Install DVD with disk utility

    I'm in the process of saving a disk image from the Leopard Install DVD, but I'd like to be sure I did it right by selecting the Leopard Install partition on the sidebar in Disk Utility, rather than the drive itself. I did so because when I tried it with the drive itself it offered a default name as the name of my dvd drive "Matshita" rather than anything specific to the disk.
    I'd also like to be sure the windows drivers are there, so before I waste an hour burning and tossing the result, the question is do I select the drive or the partition to image?

    Run the disk utility and select the disk and then select New Image. You will create and image on your desktop.
    I used cdr rather than dmg.
    I also used Toast8 to burn the image to a DVD
    Be sure you are using a dual-layer DVD and your burner supports it.
    I successfully burned a backup this way, and yes, it does contain the Windows drivers as well as Leopard.

  • Mac intel pro won't recognize snow leopard installation dvd

    i have a dual-core intel xeon with 6 GB memory. the dvd player reads all cds and dvds except when i insert the cd to install snow leopard, it ejects the disk. this is the second disk as i exchanged for a new one at apple store (where it was recognized on the computer there) any ideas, i really want to get going on CS5. helllllp (presently running version 10.4.11

    Most likely it's a hardware problem: meaning the media drive ("dvd player" is the name of the movie playing software in Applications) is either dirty or defective. A reasonable first step would be to blow canned air through the drive. If that doesn't solve the problem, then try a recommended-by-Apple media drive cleaning kit. Also test the 10.6 installer disc on another media drive to see if "any" media drives can detect it.
    Report back on results, please.

  • OS X Leopard installation hangs with about 24 mins left! Please help!

    I was prepping my iMac (Intel) for resale, so after backing up my data, I booted up with the Mac OS X Installation Disc (1 of 2). Before proceeding with the installation I went to Disk Utilities and ran a 7-pass erase of my HD. After erasure was complete I started the install and it froze with "About 24 minutes" remaining time in the screen, when I moved the mouse about I got the "spinning beach ball" for a while. Nothing happpens. It has been stuck like that for about 3 hours now.
    What are my options? Any help would be most appreciated!

    Make sure the install disk is very clean. My iMac is very picky, smudges and scratches are fatal to a good read. Do these resets as well:
    As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...
    You are now in a perfect position to do a
    SMC RESET
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.
    PRAM RESET
    Zap the PRAM
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • Snow Leopard Installation Problems with Bridge

    I just installed Snow Leopard, after having the CS4 Suite with Bridge CS4 previously installed. When I tried to open Bridge after the insallatin of Snow Leopard, I got four error messages in succession, one right after the other when hitting "ok":
    1. PiPL Endian Swap Error
    Please Update PALoadMacPlugins.ccp with prop.
    Unable to Swap PiPLprop 'ms32"   øms325 §'
    2. PiPL Endian Swap Error
    Please Update PALoadMacPlugins.ccp with prop.
    3. PiPL Endian Swap Error

    Unable to Swap PiPLprop 'ms32"   øms325 §'
    4. PiPL Endian Swap Error
    Please Update PALoadMacPlugins.ccp with prop.
    After that, the program opens normally. I re-installed Bridge CS2, which works, but when I tried to use the update for Bridge CS4, it wouldn't allow me to put it in. On the installation disc for CS4, the place to select Bridge for installation was grayed out.

    I didn't get any fix advice.
    When I reinstalled CS4 I didn't install the any of the bonus packs/updates and haven't had the problem.
    I also had (for other reasons) to do a complete reinstall of my system software, which may be why it's fixed.  I'm afraid to install the bonus pack and find out, in any case.

  • Does anyone know where to obtain snow leopard installation dvd?

    I recently went to apple store and asked if they sell the snow leopard dvd installation, but they said it should be available on the apple website. However i could not find the installer... does anyone knows where to buy? (not from ebay and amazon). Also, if you guys have one, could you guys gladly offer me one?:)

    If you need to purchase Snow Leopard, you can still purchase a copy from Apple's online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.] Ask for a Sales Representative.
    Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
    Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
    Snow Leopard from eBay
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
    If you need to purchase Lion call 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. Ask for a Sales Representative. They will check your Apple ID, and email you a code and instructions.  The cost is $29.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download.

  • Snow leopard installation dvd keeps ejecting on Mac Mini

    HI,
    I have a Mac Mini, 1.83ghz, intel core duo, 2gb 667mhz DDR2 SDRAM running OS Leopard 10.5.8.
    Im trying to install snow leopard from the dvd onto the mac and it keeps ejecting it.
    It wont even mount on the desktop, can anyone help?
    Ive restarted holding the 'c' key but it still ejects the dvd. The dvd doesnt look damaged or scratched either and have disconnected all my peripherals as well.
    Cheers Pete

    Pete,
    This may sound so simple but it may be the problem.  Unplug your USB keyboard and just plug in your mouse.  Then insert the DVD.  If it stays in, you have a sticky key on the keyboard.  Cleaning your keyboard may be all that it takes.
    Otherwise, your optical drive is not recognizing the platter and you have more serious issues.  Rule out the easy and obvious first.
    Jim~

  • Cannot reset Root password from Leopard installation DVD

    User installed Leopard with the Upgrade option, and discovered his administrator user account had been reset to standard, as described in
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306876
    However, when the user tried to follow the instructions for the password reset utility, he discovered that the User account selection pull-down was grayed out. So he cannot select the Root user, or any user account to reset the password.
    All user account have been set to standard and there appears to be no Root user.
    What next?
