OD - Tiger to Leopard upgrade

What is the most reliable upgrade path for an OD server from Tiger to Leopard? I am reading about problems with loss of passwords and tiger and leopard incompatibilities. How much down time do I allow for? I have an existing G5 server on 10.4.11 and I want to move to a new Intel Xserve on 10.5.3.
Thanks

Hi-
The login loop is a known bug:
http://dltj.org/article/macosx-launchservices-login-loop-fix/
The other way to fix it is to Archive and Install the OS.
Same advice as I've given, but with a bit of explanation:

  • Spotlight problem after Tiger to Leopard Upgrade

    Since I upgraded my Macbook Pro 15" from Tiger to Leopard, Spotlight never worked. Initially I didn't mind too much but now I want to get it work.
    I tried all suggestions I found in this forum (see list below) to no avail.
    It seems Mac OS cannot index the system disk.
    Any Terminal command like mdutil or mdimport have no effect and return no info. As a check, I ran the same utilities on my iMac (same Leopard version, but native) and they do in fact work as expected, as well as Spotlight. Another example: mdfind works on my iMac but return nothing on my MBP.
    If I try the regular way, when I write my search string in the Spotlight window I just get nothing on my MBP.
    I tried the OnyX features for Spotlight:
    - Maintenance/Rebuild/Spotlight Index seems to do something, but in fact it does nothing useful
    - Parameters/Spotlight/Options: Enable Indexing the Startup-Disk makes an attempt to enable it and switches immediately back to disabled. No way to keep the option checked. Also removed the Font cache from OnyX as suggested in some post - null.
    Some attempts I made:
    - used Disk Utility to check the disk (no repair needed)
    - used Disk Utility to repair permissions: there are many that are always repaired... this makes me feel the problem might in fact be in the permission area. But after many repair the result is always null.
    - added the start-up disk to the Privacy area in Spotlight Prefs, and later on removed - null
    - trashed com.apple.spotlight.plist pref user prefs - a new one was created but no effect
    - removed /.Spotlight-V100 from terminal - a new one was created but no effect
    - used mdutil -E and -i on and off - I always get the message "/: Indexing and searching disabled"
    - mdimport -L or -A or -X return nothing (on my iMac they return the list of plugins, schema etc.)
    - rebooted many times also in safe mode - null
    - the problem exists also for the other user on the same MBP
    - tried OnyX as described above.
    No effect!!
    Now my question is: what can I try next ?
    I'm sure there is some parameter somewhere (some .plist ?) that can re-enable Spotlight. But which one and where ?
    Thanks in advance
    Piero

    Take a look at Spotless
    http://www.fixamac.net/software/spot2/index.php
    It deals mainly with Spotlight indexes, but it also contains some diagnostics - its description includes the following:
    Spotless will automatically find and delete the "mds-crash-state" file from selected volumes. The file may be created if the Metadata Server crashed or was unexpectedly closed during the indexing process. The presence of this file can prevent Spotlight from indexing the volume in the future.
    Spotless allows you to see exact size of the index directory on each volume.
    Spotless also includes an on/off switch for Spotlight.

  • Tiger to Leopard upgrade - will I lose my partitions?

    I've been reading through the forums and can't find anything specific to this, so...
    I'm finally going to move up to Leopard. If I weren't worried about the downtime, I'd go for a clean install. Instead, I'd like to do the archive and install, but retain as much as possible.
    My hard drive has three partitions. I had read someone claiming that they did an upgrade (I don't know how they did it) and they lost their partitions and everything in them. I'm backing them up now, but I'd like to know if this is a real concern. And if I lost my partitions, wouldn't everything on the hard drive be at risk?
    I have fresh backups, but I really don't want to go through the headache of reinstalling everything.
    I'm on a Power Mac G5 Quad running 10.4.11.
    Any other thoughts and concerns I should be aware of would be greatly appreciated.

    Fantastic! Thank you Pondini. I do use SuperDuper and I have clones on 2 separate external HDs.
    Ah, good plan!
    I had also read that Tiger and Leopard handle (or read or create) partitions differently, and so I'm worried about some conflict of some sort.
    Not that I'm aware of. If any of those partitions are MBR, for running Windoze via Boot Camp, that may be a possibility (I don't do Windoze). If nobody posts anything here, you might try the Boot Camp forum, at: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=237
    I've also read of some people's computers not being able to read or recognize their Western Digital external drives after the upgrade. One of mine is WD.
    A lot of folks seem to have trouble with WDs, others don't. Yours might not be compatible with Leopard; check with WD to see if there are updates for yours.

  • OSX Tiger to Leopard upgrade

    My dad has a 'vintage' iMac G5 PPC which is running OSX 10.5.8 (leopard). It has steadily got worse over the years to the point now where it is crawling, and constantly displays the spinning ball.
    After trying various fixes to no avail I've decided to format the hard drive and re-install the OS, however, he only has the original system restore discs for Tiger, having upgraded to Leopard with a family upgrade disc which he no longer has. Apple wont help, other than to offer a full system disc for £££'s. I've exhaustively searched ebay for anyone selling a Leopard upgrade disc but had no luck.
    Can anyone else suggest a solution? (and he can't afford to replace the machine! )
    Many thanks in advance
    Alex

    Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for slow action in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport in 10.4 & below, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • SInce Tiger to Leopard Upgrade, Print Dialog Box Is too Basic, No Options

    Since I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard recently, it seems the print dialog box for my HP printers (Officejet 8500 Pro Wireless, Photosmart 6150) is small and basic and does not offer the print options I am used to having like selecting a specific page to print instead of printing them all. Any way to restore that functionality and get back to the larger more flexible dialog box?

    Thought I did and all that did was offer different printers, but I am wrong and you are right. Blue triangle is exactly what I was looking for.

  • Still any Tiger to Leopard upgrade issues?

    For reasons far to boring to explain I purchased Leopard when it was first released (so its a vanilla 10.5.0 disc) but never was able to install. My Macbook Pro (15" 2.2) has an up too date Tiger install and finally I have time to upgrade. i know at the start there were frequent reports of people having real trouble upgrading (a friend of mine, after a week of stress did a fresh wipe and install to fix his errors) and I wanted to know if this is still the case with a 10.5.0 version?
    {I will be superdupering a backup of my current set up just in case.}
    Thanks!

    Once you've made your bootable backup/clone and tested it, see these for info on the three installation options:

  • Client Upgraded from Tiger to Leopard Can No Longer Connect to Tiger Server

    I just finished upgrading a G5 2GHz DP Powermac from Tiger to Leopard. This was an Archive and Install upgrade with importing the old settings. After verifying the account migration, including .Mac connectivity, and fixing all 3rd party software compatibilities/upgrades, I tried to connect to our Tiger 4.11 server by clicking on the server's Icon in the Shared section of the Finder Sidebar. The finder then switches to browse the the server for shares: "Connecting..." is displayed under the tool bar, with a "Share Screen..." and "Connect As..." buttons to the right.
    At this point the "Connecting..." remains displayed with the spinning circle in the bottom right of the Finder window.... spinning. This situation continues for several minutes until is seems the system gives up.
    If I click on the Path button on the Tool Bar, and go up to the Shared level, ALL the Shares on the Network are displayed, including all the Tiger Client machine shares. I can click on the triangle beside the Tiger Client's icon, and all the drives and home directories on the Mac are listed. All the client shares can be accessed without any issues. NOTE: There are no other Leopard clients on the LAN.
    Prior to the Leopard upgrade, this client could connect to the Tiger server as well. All the other clients on the LAN can access the Tiger server also.
    On the Leopard client I have tried clicking and the "Connect As..." button and using the menu "Connect to Server" and specifying the server's IP, and I get the same "Connecting..." message with a "non-connecting" result.
    I can only assume that somehow the Account Name and password are not being passed correctly. But, using "Connect As..." should resolve that. However, "Connect As..." does not give me a user/password window!
    If I check the AFP Access log on the Server, the only messages displayed are "Mounted Volume..." No messages in the error log, and no messages in the "Connections" section.
    Can anyone help me figure out why the Leopard client can not connect to the Tiger Server?
    My apologies if the description of my problem is a bit disjointed. I have been thrown into server admin and am learning "Trial by Fire".
    Any help or suggestions on how to resolve this issue will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Gary

    OK. A quick update.
    After waiting for about 10 minutes for the rotating circle in the bottom right corner to stop, I was able to click on the "Connect As..." button. It took another 10 minutes, but the Connect As window eventual popped up. I entered the Userid and Password (saving to Keychain) and was able to see all the sharepoints on the the server. I browsed all the connected drives and folders without issue.
    I then disconnected from the server. Reviewing the AFP logs on the server shows messages for the connection Login and Logout.
    I then tried to reconnect to the server, and again another 10 minutes wait, although this time the Leopard client eventually connected automatically with the proper User, as per the AFP logs confirms.
    Although, the client can now connect to the server, for it to take 10 minutes will be unacceptable to management, not to mention the end user. Tiger clients can connect in a couple seconds!
    Is there a way to reduce the Leopard login time to, say, a couple seconds, like it does with the Tiger clients?
    Again, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • How to Uninstall Leopard Upgrade and go back to Tiger

    I would like to go back to Tiger and was wondering how to uninstall the Leopard upgrade without having to do a full reformat. Is this possible? Thanks in advance!

    First, welcome to the Apple boards.
    Backup what you have because it probably contains things from the original update you want to keep - network settings, passwords, etc. A bootable clone is your best bet - and test it out.
    Then you need to format your HD (full, not quick) with the Leopard DVD and then reboot with the Tiger CD and install it. I am not sure how much you can migrate "downwards" from the Leopard backup, but some things will probably come along OK. Not sure about mail since it was converted by Leopard - will it unconvert? Don't know.
    I have read of some who tried to simply install Tiger over Leopard but the results were less than great. You can try it once you have that clone backup, because you won't be losing anything.
    I would suggest unplugging the clone during the erase and install process until you get to the migration point.

    I have a brand new Leopard based MacBook Pro that I need to revert to its previous cat form of Tiger. Would you mind walking me through it? I have Tiger disks that came with another MacBook Pro so those should have all of the machine specific items I will need. As I understand this, I start the computer from the included Leopard disk and do a full format. (I noticed that there is a new partition style named GUID Partition, is this Leopard only?) Next, I load in my Tiger disks and install from those? I do not need to do any system backups as I have no information on this computer as of yet. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks, Brian

  • Mail no longer working after upgrade Tiger to Leopard

    I know that there are some reports out there on the Internet but I can not find a solution that I trust. i upgraded from Tiger to Leopard and ever since my Mail program has completely disappeared. it is no longer in the dock, it is no longer in the applications folder and I went into the Mac Harddrive and found i. I dragged the icon on the dock and when I now start Mail the bar on top of the screen shows me that it started, but no windows come up. Under File most options are grey. i can see that all my mailboxsettings are still there. I have Entorage 2004 as my default mailprogram, but that gave never problems in the past and I use Mail for my google account. Under View in the menu almost everything is grey.
    can someone help please? thanks so much.

    In addition the article cited, if you ran 10.3 or earlier prior to upgrading to Tiger, once-upon-a-time, you might also need to remove two files with MessageSorting in their names.

  • I have recently upgraded my iBookG4 from Tiger to Leopard 10.5.8 and find my Bluetooth USB adaptor no longer connects. The Bluetooth pane says inactive. Does Leopard require  USB 2.0. I've had the adaptor for some time so may be USB 1.0

    I have recently upgraded my iBookG4 from Tiger to Leopard 10.5.8 and find my Bluetooth USB adaptor no longer connects. The Bluetooth pane says inactive. Does Leopard require  USB 2.0. I've had the adaptor for some time so may be USB 1.0

    Bluetooth icon on menu bar shows bluetooth off. When opening bluetooth preferences it shows the devices I've connected previously,( my mobile phone), and other devices I've attempted to connect but not very successfully: my iPhone and MiniMac.  The bluetooth dongle in the USB port shows a continual blue light but does not react and the iBook does not recognise that it is there. There is absolutely no reaction when I try to pair my mobile phone, which I've done successfully before upgrading to Leopard, either by the iBook or the mobile phone.
    I assumed that Tiger was not bluetooth compatible with the iPhone or MacMini running SnowLeopard and hoped by upgrading to Leopard I could achieve some file transfers between the three devices (iBook, iPhone and MacMini)

  • I upgraded my iBook G4 from 384MBytes to 640Mbytes and upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. After a few weeks the HDD failed. New Leopard install reports: "insufficient memory". I need Tiger install disks so I can install

    I upgraded my iBook G4 from 384MBytes to 640Mbytes and upgraded from Tiger to Leopard.
    After a few weeks the HDD failed. I bought a new disk, installed it and trued to install Leopard, but the  install fails reporting "insufficient memory".
    I assume the installation requires more memory than the OS actually needs to be able to run.
    I need Tiger install CD/DVD so I can install Tiger first and then upgrade to Leopard.

    Call Apple Customer Support 1-800-767-2775, provide the Serial Number and specifications of the Mac, and for a reasonable fee, they will supply a replacement set of system discs (if available).
    The discs will be for the original version of the OS that was pre-installed when the Mac was manufactured.
    You need much more RAM than that.

  • Tiger to Snow Leopard upgrade fails  with buffer overflow

    I'm not sure where to proceed with the following situation:
    I have a 17" MB pro with 1GB memory and 22GB free hard drive space. I booted into the installer from the CD and stepped through the prompts without changing any options to the point where the install starts doing it's magic. Shortly after starting, the install will crash complaining about a buffer overflow during/just after the part where it's finding system files.
    I originally tried to do this with only 10GB free, but after the first failure, I did a repair disk using the Disk Utility and removed a bunch of really old files I no longer needed, which brought the available disk space to 22GB, but this did not help anything. At this point, I'm not sure what to do. I use Carbon Copy Cloner as a backup so I can do a full wipe and install, however I would prefer to avoid that as it is a lot of work to get things back.
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
    Error log follows. I cut out a lot of stuff so please let me know if that detail is needed.

    Regarding the need to buy the packaged bundle, I keep seeing folks here and elsewhere claiming that is not necessary.
    That's because they have not read, or concern themselves with the license agreement. Section 2. "Permitted License Uses and Restrictions", section C says on http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/macosx106.pdf
    It's been read forwards, backwards, and upside down. Nowhere on the packaging is there any identification of the $29 (or $49 family pack) version as only suitable as a "Leopard upgrade" version. There are vague mentions about it on Apple's online sales page and in press releases. I've read the license terms thoroughly and the only conclusion that could reasonably be conferred is that the $29 version carries a "single user" license simply because it doesn't say "family pack". There are plenty of reports that it installs over Tiger just fine.
    Granted I've read numerous reports and I installed my copy over Leopard. However - imagine someone who vaguely heard about it, walked into a store and bought a copy, thoroughly looked over the box and the license terms (within the disc), and installed it in good faith over Tiger. There is ZERO, ZIP, NADA on the package that would lead anyone to believe it is anything but a copy with a "SINGLE USER" license where the terms don't preclude installing over Tiger.
    C. Leopard Upgrade Licenses. If you have purchased an Upgrade for Mac OS X Leopard license, then subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you are granted a limited non-exclusive license to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-branded computer as long as that computer has a properly licensed copy of *Mac OS X Leopard already installed on it.*
    The emphasis above is mine.
    While this may not be enforced by a software key, it is there in the license agreement on the PDF included on the CD, when you purchase the under $100 licenses, which are also called "Upgrade" on the store.
    There's an opinion that "Leopard upgrade" only applies to the "Up To Date" versions that require proof of purchase of a recent Mac computer. The reports on those installer discs are that they do in fact check for a valid Leopard installation.
    The following has the most in-depth discussion on the subject of whether or not the license allows for Snow Leopard over Tiger that I've seen so far:
    http://www.mackb.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/mac/26361/the-29-purchase-price-of-Snow-Leop ard
    This is the best description I've heard on it, from someone who identifies himself as "David Empson":
    http://www.mackb.com/Uwe/Threads/Single.aspx/mac/26361?ArtId=1j5mofd.1pw6lllbtpj dwN%25dempson%40actrix.gen.nz
    If someone walks in and buys Snow Leopard, without written notice from
    Apple that they are buying an Upgrade version which requires Leopard,
    and without discussing that point with the seller, the buyer is under no
    obligation to have researched their purchase in advance and know all of
    Apple's publicity statements from three months ago.
    They are buying it in good faith, and the contract (licence) is valid.

  • Do I need to backup my files when upgrading from tiger to leopard?

    Not sure if I need to backup all my files before upgrading from Tiger to Leopard (to use a Mac Box Set), have bought a Seagate 1TB FreeAgent GoFlex Home hard drive to back up on. Was told I wouldn't need a WiFi router but have now discovered I would need a dual Ethernet port to be connected to the internet and the hard drive which my Mac mini only has access for one, either the internet or the hard drive. So I ask do I really need to back up before upgrading? or can you get dual Ethernet ports?

    Only if your data has any value to you.
    If everything works perfectly, you should lose nothing.
    If anything goes wrong, it is possible to lose data.
    Personally I don't want to trust my data to everything working perfectly so I back it up.
    As to the question of dual ethernet ports, you don't need them actually. If you create a LAN with a router then the multiple ports on your router will allow you to connect to both the internet and disk at once.

    Leopard is no longer available from Apple. You need to look for a black retail install disk on eBay or Amazon, which will cost you around $200.

  • Just upgraded Tiger to Leopard.  Clarisworks not supported.   I can successfully convert CW4.0 doc's to AW6.0 doc's using MacLink Plus Deluxe but the problem is I than cannot print them or convert to PDF, either.

    Just upgraded Tiger to Leopard.  Clarisworks not supported.   I can successfully convert CW4.0 doc's to AW6.0 doc's using MacLink Plus Deluxe and then work on them but the problem is that I cannot print them.  Neither can I convert to PDF.

    If I was trying to get someone else to do my work,
    I wouldn't be posting this saying what I have said
    would I? I'm not unwilling to do the work myself.From what was stated in your OP, it seemed that you
    were.I'm sorry if it seemed that way. I don't want something for nothing. I've spent MANY hours, which I don't have, trying to work this out. I have hit a point where I don't think my expertise is going to solve the problem. That's why I've turned to some experts who might say something along the lines of, "Hey, I know what that is...you're compiling against... and on the Unix box, it's compiling against..." I was NOT looking for something like, "See the code below that fixes your problem."
    The only problem is that I don't have direct access
    to the sun unix machines I'm running the app on,
    so I can't run a profiler on it. Ah, okay. So the only knowledge you have of how it
    performs on those machines is from your instructor
    running it and then telling you how long it took?No. I can SSH into the servers and run the program from a command line. But I wouldn't be able to install any profiler programs.
    You could ask your prof to run it with -Xprof or
    -Xhprof or whatever. Or you could put in a bunch of
    timing statements to get a rough idea of which parts
    are making it take that extra 39 minute or whatever.is -Xprof a java command line option? If so, I will look into doing that. Maybe it's available on the machines at school. Thanks for that input.

Maybe you are looking for
