OK to use 10.5 installations on different Model Identifiers in same family?

Hi All,
Can I install 10.5 on a G5 (ie, Model Identifier PowerMac11,2), but then remove the hard drive and use it without issues in a different G5, (ie, Model Identifier PowerMac7,3)?
We've made an image using a G5 PowerMac11,2 and used this image to restore onto other PowerMac11,2's without issues. But will this same image work OK on other PowerMac G5's, or do we have to create a new, separate image for each Model Identifier so all drivers, kernel extensions, etc work properly?
Thanks for any insight you might have.

Hiya, and sorry to jump in there.
Whilst - purely technically speaking - there should be no reason that Leopard should cause issues on older Macs such as G5's. Maybe, I was unlucky, but I, like a fair few others did in fact have quite a few issues:

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1917122&tstart=15
Now, I am all in favour of moving on from older to newer technologies, but I (personally) think, that the processor in older Macs, whilst diligently performing well until Tiger, may find it hard to cope with Leopard, the stepping stone to Snow Leopard http://www.apple.com/macosx/snowleopard/
Apart from that, you cannot run Boot Camp (I think, photobooth and some other apps are also affected) on an older "Power PC" processor architecture. You'd need virtual PC for that.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can use 2 or more Apple Tv's in different locations in the same house. You can even use them at the same time and watch the same content on each or choose different content.

  • Bug with using 2 certificates on a different port on the same machine

    There seems to be an issue with using secure connection to the same web location but on a different port.
    It is slightly difficult to recreate exactly but very often when one of the connections has been negotiated and the (self-signed) certificate added to Firefox when connecting to the same URL but placing a different port in the browser I get the error...
    (Error code: sec_error_bad_signature)
    It appears to get in a muddle as to which certificate should be used for which port. They have both been downloaded and the port number appears to be available in the certificate selection process but an error occurs nonetheless.

    I belive you can, I think my friends Apple TV is connected to their internet via an Ethernet cable, and we use Airplay sometimes using our iPads that are connected to the same network via WiFi. It should work as long as they are both connected to the same network. However, I don't have an Apple TV of my own, so don't take this as a solid answer.

  • Using an InCopy package with different versions of the same InDesign file

    Hi,
    I head up the studio for a London based design agency. We are looking into using InCopy with one of our clients (who will be off-site). In particular this will be working on Annual Reports.
    As an example the issue I am coming up against is the following:
    So far I imagine that we would have our InDesign file and create an InCopy package of all the stories to send to our client. With the content size of these type of documents it may be several days before we receive anything back. In the time between it is inevitable that we will need to carry out design changes. With our current workflow this would involve saving a new version of the InDesign file. When we receive the original InCopy package back from our client we may be working on a version 1..2..3,etc of the InDdesign layout. BUT the InCopy package wants to link to the original file we made the InCopy package from. Is there a way to link the InCopy package into our new InDesign file.
    Many Thanks

    You could try renaming the new file with the old name but I don't think
    that's that's going to be a recipe for success.
    Other than that, you're using a very dangerous workflow. Everything here
    is designed to revolve around a single InDesign file with however many
    assignments or packages there are.

  •  Ps installation on two different boot volumes of same machine?   Ps 11.0.2 Mac PPC  and then...

    Hello, I'm new to this forum.
    My goal here is to have two different Photoshop 11.0.2 installations on two different boot volumes of one and the same Power Mac (PPC) G5 Quad, one being a Tiger 10.4.11 system and the other one a Leopard 10.5.8 system, for the purpose of installing two different modalities of the same Epson Photo Stylus 2200 printer, one with the printer set to use the photo black ink cartridge for luster and glossy papers, and the other one using the matte blank ink.
    This is because I prefer to simply change the startup disk when switching inks rather than having to delete and re-add the necessary printers.  (This particular printer does not support ink cartridge switching under any version of Mac OS X.)
    Photoshop is currently only used on this one machine.  Obviously this intended scheme fits well within the EULA conditions.
    My three questions are:
    (a) whether there is any technical issue I have failed to consider,
    (b) whether each copy of Photoshop on the same machine will have to be activated separately (in other words, is the activation tied to the CPU or to the boot volume drive?), and
    (c) if the answer to the latter question is yes, whether this will count as one or two activations for purposes of later installing a single instance of the Photoshop 13.x ("CS6") upgrade on an Intel- MacBook, since obviously C6 will not run on my PPC Mac.  Again in sum, will I be able to continue to run Photoshop 11.0.2 on two different volumes of the same PPC machine and the Photoshop 13.x upgrade on the laptop?
    As further explanation, I would use Photoshop 13.x on the Mac-Intel laptop only in order to run ACR 7.x, but would keep my PPC G5 Quad as my photo editing and printing machine running Photoshop 11.0.2, since an upgrade of my desktop machine to a comparably powerful Mac Pro is simply not an option for both financial and technical reasons (the Classic environment is essential).
    Any and all input and guidance will be appreciated.

  • Using a localization in a different country

    Hi experts,
    I am trying to implement EA-PS (Public Sector) to a country which doesn't have any localization.
    However,  knowing that are several similarities (legislation, reporting, procedures,...) with this one (LOCPTFM – Portugal), is it possible to use Portugal localization in a different country?
    Best regards,
    Pedro Barreiros

    Hi Eli,
    Thank you for your quick answer.
    At OSS note we found a way to instal the Add-on:
    "2.b)  Download
    The software is available on SAP Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/SWDC
    -> Download
    -> Installations & Upgrades
    -> Country-specific Add-ons
    -> SAP ERP ES-PS-LOCPT
    -> SAP ERP ES-PS-LOCPT 617
    -> Installation & Upgrade"
    but we can´t find the path/file.
    About this subject, SAP has told us :
    "After checking with Product Manager,  I´m sorry i can not provide you other answer but t he LOCPTFM Add-On is restricted to Public Sector Portugal only .
    In addition you should join an online community and knowledge repository for global exchange of ideas and technical knowledge around my SAP ERP for Public Sector.
    There you can create or find on-line discussion about this topic and more. To access the Public Sector entire Ecosystem,just go directly to: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/forum?forumID=260".
    Is there any mandatory requisite to fullfil?

    HI Team, Recently One week back I bought a new iphone 5 from India. They have given me a used mobile which has a different IMEI number when compared to the IMEI number present on the box. Please let me know how to proceed further

    When you went back to the place where you purchased this phone, & asked them, what did they say?
    No one here can help you with this, nor can/will Apple. You need to take this up with whoever you purchased this phone from.

  • Using two facts of two different star schemas and conformed dimensions

    Hi,
    I've been working as developer and database designer for years and I'm new to Business Objects. Some people says you can not use two facts of two different star schemas in the same query because of conformed dimensions and loop problems in BO.
    For example I have a CUSTOMER_SALE_fACT table containing customer_id and date_id as FK, and some other business metrics about sales. And there is another fact table CUSTOMER_CAMPAIGN_FACT which also contains customer_id and date_id as FK, and some  other business metrics about customer campaigns. SO I have two stars like below:
    DIM_TIME -- SALE_FACT -- DIM_CUSTOMER
    DIM_TIME -- CAMPAIGN_FACT -- DIM_CUSTOMER
    Business metrics are loaded into fact tables and facts can be used together along conformed dimensions . This is one of the fundamentals of the dimensional modeling. Is it really impossible to use SALE_FACT and CAMPAIGN_FACT together? If the answer is No, what is the solution?
    Saying "you cannot do that because of loops" is very interesting.
    Thank you..

    When you join two facts together with a common dimension you have created what is called a "chasm trap" which leads to invalid results because of the way SQL is processed. The query rows are first retrieved and then aggregated. Since sales fact and campaign fact have no direct relationship, the rows coming from either side can end up as a product join.
    Suppose a customer has 3 sales fact rows and 2 campaign fact rows. The result set will have six rows before any aggregation is performed. That would mean that sales measures are doubled and campaign measures are tripled.
    You can report on them together, using multiple SQL passes, but you can't query them together. Does that distinction make sense?

  • Can two peeps use iChat with different accounts on the same computer?

    What do I do to REMOVE an old AIM account and replace it with a new account in IChat?
    Can two peeps use iChat with different accounts in the same computer?
    (Actually, two people share a laptop, but one of us cannot use her AIM account cuz mine is in iChat already... And, when traveling, I have the computer - and I would like to use iChat on the computer...)

    In iChat 4 you can have more than one AIM Valid name logged in at once.
    AIM valid = AIM, @mac.com or a MobileMe name.
    What you are then stuck with is that iChat is linked to one Buddy Picture and The one Mac User Account's Address Book which may or may not have Full Names, emails details, or a Nickname in iChat 4 linked to the Screen Names.
    Whilst it does let you both log in whilst using one Mac User Account there are drawbacks about who uses the keyboard and reading meesages from the other persons Buddies.

  • We have 3 devices used by 3 different people under the same Apple ID, how do I stop getting my daughters texts, both sent and received?

    We have 3 devices used by 3 different people under the same Apple ID, how do I stop receiving my daughters texts? Both sent and received.

    When you use the same Apple ID on 3 devices it means you are all using the same (email, imessaging, calendar etc).  Since iCloud (MobileMe) is designed to be shared across all devices included Macs, it means all devices setup with the same ID will have access to the information.
    Text messaging is relevant only to the number you are texting.  This is done through your telecom companys lines and not on Apples.
    If you do not want to have others be able to read any of your information then it is best you each have your own account.

    I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered
    Go here > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
    Hope that helps
