OSX Leopard 10.5.6 - Build 9G55 vs. 9G66

Hello people.
The latest DVD of Leopard included in the recent 'Boxed Set':
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB997?mco=MzA3MDgxNQ
Apparently has a different build number (9G66) from the 10.5.6 update found on the Apple Website (9G55).
Any ideas what the differences are? I'm assuming updates for new Intel hardware?
Cheers. R.

The 9G66 build shows the newer economical light bulb on the energy saver icon even on older macs.
A clean install from this release brings also some explanatory pdf files into the default documents and downloads stack placed in the dock.

IPod Touch not being recognised on newly-installed OSX Leopard (10.5.4)

I have an iPod Touch (software version 2.0.2) which is not being recognised in OSX Leopard (version 10.5.4) which I just loaded onto the Powerbook G4. It was recognised under OSX 10.4, although the iPod Touch didn't launch iTunes when it was connected. It was only recognised after iTunes was launched.
I have read some previous posts about iPod Touch not being recognised. One of the recommendations is to reinstall the entire iTunes package. It this must be done to sort the problem, will all of the music in iTunes be lost?
Note my daughter's iPod, when connected, launches iTunes and is recognised.
Help, please.

Hi,
Reinstalling iTunes *will not* erase your music library.
As a matter of course I do, and in fact Apple recommend that you back up your music library, there is an option to do this under "File" in iTunes. It is really quite sensible to have your purchased and other music files saved elsewhere as well as on your main hard drive, it can save a lot of time and hassle.
Good luck,
Dud.

OSX Leopard in the new Mac Mini

Hello, I need a support for a question.
I can install mac osx leopard in the new Mac Mini.
My mac is the last versión of Mac Mini Server with OSX LION Server.
How I can install Mac Osx Leopard, the compatibilities with OSX LION are very bad with my programs.
this can be done in the new Mac Mini?

Hola.
My mac mini is the version 5.3 of mid of the 2011.
Music hardware is working me a little better now, I think it has strengthened the stability and gives no error messages.
I afraid that I have become later unstable again .
But now it works perfectly.
The new mac mini 5.x never can works with Leopard?
Also I am interesting for the version of Lion Golden Master, but I think that is for developers only?
You have a page of Golden Master in apple.com?
Thanks
Regards from barcelona.

Time Machine backup on OSX Leopard Server, no user logged in

Hi
I'd like to use Time Machine to do backups of a Mini running OSX Leopard Server. It has a TimeCapsule connected, which it backs up to fine, at the moment.
However, I've been wondering, if it still backs up, if no user is logged in? I've been reading a few old tips about making removable drives not dismount, when no user is logged in by adding/modifying a key in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/autodiskmount.plist, setting AutomountDisksWithoutUserLogin to true.
Is this still nescessary?
Is TimeMachine actually running when no user is logged in?
Is it a good idea to set the key, if my users homedirs is on a removable drive too?
If TimeMachine is NOT the way to do it, which way is the best/smartest?
Best regards
Nicolai

How do I uninstall snow leopard and re-install OSX leopard?

How do I uninstall snow leopard and re-install OSX leopard?

Sorry to hear that, Snow Leopard runs as fast or faster than either Tiger and Leopard did on my Jan 2006 Early Intel iMac on 2GB of RAM?
Before you blame Snow Leopard, run the Extended Apple Hardware Test and check the SMART status of your Hard Drive to make sure that you do not have another problem.

Wipe and install OSX Leopard without the disk

Hi everyone,
I need to wipe my iMac and reinstall OS X Leopard. I have the install disks, but my CD drive doesn't work and can't read the disk.
Is there a way for me to wipe and install OSX Leopard without the disk?
Thanks.

You can turn the 2011 iMac into a Firewire Optical drive.
Put the Leo Install Disc into the 2011 iMac, boot the 2011 iMac while holding t key to put it into FW Target Disk Mode, with a FW cable connect the the 2, boot older one holding Alt key, choose the Leo Install Disc to boot from.

I had iLife pre-installed on my aluminium Macbook 2009 with OSX Leopard on it. My hard drive broke but got most of the info off it and just installed snow Leopard on to a new drive and then downloaded and installed Mountain Lion over it. Now I don't have iLife anymore. How do I get it back?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Mac OS X doesn't come with iLife applications, so you have to install them manually after installing Mac OS X.
Insert the Applications disc or Mac OS X Install Disc 2 DVD and install iLfe applications. Then, open  > Software Update, and install the latest update. If you want, you can purchase iMovie, GarageBand and iPhoto in the App Store, so you will get the most recent version

Hi, I want to downgrade from OSX LEOPARD to OSX TIGER but I have a few questions regarding this. My iMac is originally from 2007 it came preloaded with tiger. I have original install tiger discs version 10.4.10. Is it safe to downgrade or not please help

Hi, I want to downgrade from OSX LEOPARD to OSX TIGER but I have a few questions regarding this. My iMac is originally from Sep 2007 it came preloaded with tiger. I have original install (2) tiger discs version 10.4.10. I want to know if it is safe and what are the necessary steps to do so. Also by downgrading im wondering if a lot of apps nowadays support tiger for example I have photoshop version 5 and 4 these are very important to me. One last question does anyone know of any reliable virus protection for mac that doesnt slow down your computer? because I have read that a lot of them do so. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it! Here are the specs for my iMac

iMac

iMac7,1
Processor Name:
Intel Core 2 Duo

Most of the time a perception of general slow performance is the result of installing third party junk alleged to speed up, "clean" or "optimize" your Mac, or to look for viruses that don't exist. Ideally you would know what you installed so you can uninstall it, but if you don't know or aren't sure there are techniques such as Safe Mode and creating a temporary user account to confirm that suspicion.
If you open Activity Monitor it may show a process, or processes, that occupy a lot of your system's time.
Slowness confined solely to web browser activity is often the result of an inexorable progress toward websites that demand ever more processor-intensive tasks. If your slow performance is strictly limited to web browsing, you might try disabling Flash by either uninstalling it, or use utilities such as ClickToFlash that allow you to control what Flash content gets loaded. Flash in itself is not inherently evil, but there is nothing to stop websites or the advertisers who pay for them from writing horrible Flash code that can do everything from hogging 100% of your CPU's time to causing random crashes. You can watch Activity Monitor as in the above to correlate these troublesome web pages with performance degradation.
You are correct; if your computer shipped with Tiger you may certainly revert to it. I forgot that Tiger was shipping on new Macs as recently as five years ago. To downgrade it would be necessary to completely erase your hard disk and boot with the Tiger installation DVD, followed by installing it anew. Such drastic measures are not necessary and you are unlikely to be satisfied with the results anyway.
Assuming your system is free of third party parasitic junk attached to OS X in an ill-conceived attempt to improve upon it, that your hard disk drive is sound and the boot volume has enough free space to work with, by far the best performance-enhancing improvement would be to add more memory. Buy as much as your computer can use and that you can afford. 2 GB is not that much any more.

Adobe AIR 2.0.3 Installer does not work in Firefox 3.6.8 (win7/osx leopard) via badge installer

Using the Air installer feature of the Air App Badge installer from http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/air_badge_install.html
does not work in Firefox 3.6.8 on both windows 7 and osx leopard 10.5.8.
seems to be still functional in firefox windows xp and osx snow leopard 10.6.3
To reproduce. without having air installed on your windows7 or osx leopard machine, go to http://www.tweetdeck.com/desktop/ and click on the "Download" button to begin air install. the "Yes" and "No" buttons are unresponsive. Air will fail to install.

Migrating users from SBS 2003 to OSX leopard Server

Hello All,
We are preparing to migrate away from SBS2003 to an OSX server setup.
Currently all clients are mac with a few bootcamped PC's onto the macintosh hardware.
We will be using kerio to migrate the mail off from exchange.
My question is if there is a way to move the current users home folders on SBS to the mac server ala replication, i heard you could make the mac server a DC and then demote it to standalone ? is this possible or does everything have to be 'built from scratch' im assuming of course EVERYTHING is reliant on OSX leopard servers DNS being setup correctly from the get go.
Any help / tips/ cavaets / would be a huge help.

Cant access iTunes Store on G4 running OSX Leopard

I can't access iTunes Store on G4 running OSX Leopard. It's telling me I need Safari 4.0.3 in order to have access to iTunes and I have the latest version.

try if this helps:
download iTunes from here http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and run the installer over your existing installation.
you can also try to run the 10.5.8 combo updater (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1058comboupdate .html) to see if that fixes your issue. be sure to repair permissions prior to and after installing the combo.
when done, check software again for any updates offered.

Can't install osx leopard on my "new" hdd

I'm tring to install osx leopard on my g4. when I select my new 200gb ide hdd installer told me I have to initialize volume first. I go to disk utility and do it creating a new volume journaled etc. and it seems ok. I aldo use repair and test button and everything seems ok (no error on verification).
but when I come back I still can't install: installation starts but stop after 1 minute and I get an error message like "unable to install on this volume, try using disk utility".
I have replaced hdd with the old 80gb and installation started with no errors. so the problem is the new hdd? I formatted it on windows in ntfs with no errors, also disk utility format it with no error... any ideas?
thanks

you do not mention this, but when you installed the HD into your Mac, did set the jumpers on the back to master or cable select (I can't remember which one at the moment) It can't be set to be a slave drive.
If it's to be a bootable drive, it has to be set for either Master or Cable Select.
Also, did you re-format the drive in the Mac as an HFS+ extended journaled format?
Just covering the bases here.

Looks like I've got the same issue, only with Flash Player 9 Silent installer on Mac OSX Leopard. Did you find a workaround?

Itunes quit unexpectedly after installing osx leopard

I have just installed OSX Leopard and now itunes 7.5 refuses its service. i have re-installed it several times, deleted all plists and database files. i also removed the whole itunes folder from my music folder and re-installed itunes hoping that i could at least get it to work again and re-import all my music but nothing worked so far. i rang apple support but they couldn't really help either. i searched the forum in hope of any solution and tried the recommendations i came across here but nada!
funny enough, i did a fresh installation on this mac but an upgrade on my macbook pro. and despite several warnings not to upgrade the previous system everything works just fine there..

I basically scanned both my libraries (the user one and the general one, located on your startupdisc) manually for anything that had to do with digidesign and threw it out because i am not using it anymore. be careful about what you throw out and if you are using time machine make sure you update it before you start throwing out extensions etc...
many items in the libraries don't show up in spotlight under leopard anymore, i don't know why that is and it only makes some peoples' life more difficult.
it's interesting what kind of weird remains you can find in your library, almost like going through grandma's attic...
Viel Erfolg!
