OSX tiger 10.4.11 dont listing/ login OD account.....

Hi,
I have a OSX Server 10.6.4 and 10.4.11 Tiger.
I make de Open Directory Service, in Server Only One user for testing.
Setting Up user Home Directory. etc.
I binding Tiger client, and the LDAP connection seems, good....connecting...asks directory admin password, etc.
I restart, tiger.
The OD account login is not required....
I see the server, Workgroup Manager and the computer is listing in the computer tab....I try setting "Login" options, but this not help for.
I don't no what is the bad setting, or everything.
Please help!!!

Core Duo won't work for beyond 10.6.8.
If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.
You need to get 10.6 & update to 10.6.8 first to be able to buy it from the App Store & download it.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
It's been pulled from the online store, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard, but quick, call before it's gone!
Call Apple 1-800-MY-APPLE
Lion/101.7 System requirements
    •    x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
    •    At least 2GB of memory, I say 6 GB
    •    Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
    •    At least 4GB of disk space for downloading, I say 50 GB.
Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.

  • Old Applications & files won't open in OSX-Tiger/Classic

    [post moved from other forum]
    I finished my Powerbook's hardware upgrade with success yesterday(with thanks to JPL, Sig, A_Brody and other's great advice). System is now Powerbook G3 400 Firewire with 512mbRam, new 40GB HDD, and OS-X Tiger. However...
    I can't seem to get the older Applications or their files to open. I get the error message:
    "There is no default application specified to open the document Appleworks 6"
    and/or
    "Could not be opened because the application that created it could not be found--- could not find a translation extension with appropriate translators"
    The upgrade/update procedure included...
    ===Back-up all files on the old 10GB HDD to an external USB drive.
    ===Remove old and replace w/new 40GB HDD, also install new 512MB PC-133 RAM module in lower slot.
    ===booted from old OS CD and ran Hard drive set-up utility with two partitions, one 30GB the other 10GB.
    ===Install OS 9.0.4 from that original Apple software CD onto the first 30GB partition.
    ===Onto same partition, ran OS-9 Update 9.1.0, then 9.2.1, then fireware update 4.1.8f5, then Update 9.2.1
    ===Installed OS-X Tiger onto the first 30GB partition
    ===Moved all backed-up files from the external USB drive onto the second 10GB partition.
    I have tried running the old applications in both OS-X Classic mode and also after changing the "Start-up Disk" to the smaller partition (which should be a clone of how the original Hard drive was set-up i.e. folder structure etc.)
    I'm quite surprised that when re-booting to the smaller partiton, that although it looks just like my system prior to upgrading, the apps don't run and the files don't open those older apps that created them. I assumed that the smaller Partition--and booting to it--would be the same as if the original Hard drive was still in the powerbook.
    When I get those error messages above, I have followed the "Choose Application" button thru to where I could choose the application. I follow to the "Applications (Mac OS 9" folder to where the actual APPLEWORKS 6 app (for exmaple) is located, but it is greyed out and can't be selected. BTW later I did copy all of the contents of the original "Applications" folder from the backed-up HDD into the OSX "Applications Mac OS 9" folder. Also note, the apps in that folder are listed as KIND "Unix Executable File". The files (in this case AppleWorks files) are also listed as that file KIND.
    ===In the OSX's System Preferences/System/Classic/Advanced tab, I have tried the REBUILD DESKTOP procedure--with no effected change. I know I read elsewhere in discussions that there was a procedure to re-boot with a certain keyboard held-key combo that allows to re-build desktop upon booting?? I don't remember the keyboard combo. And,not certain how that procedure is different.
    ===In the change Start-Up disc Utility, I now see four Systems to choose from...
    Mac OSX 10.4 on New 30GB HD
    Mac OS 9.2.2 on New 30GB HD
    Mac OS on Old 10GB HD (that's the smaller partition),
    Mac OS 9.2.2 on New 30GB HD
    Network Start-up
    Both the second and forth choice will boot-up to OS 9.2, but as mentioned the apps won't run and files won't open
    I'm guessing the reason the third choice won't boot (it reverts back to OSX Tiger when I try) is because that original System copy is OS 9.0.4 (backed-up prior to running the OS-9.1 and 9.2.1, 9.2.2 updates.). Also note, when in OS 9.2.2 when I go into that Utility... Apple/Control Panels/Startup Disk it doesn't list the old OS on the smaller partition. BTW could I now run/perform the OS-9 updates to bring that System on the smaller HD partition up to OS-9.2.2 with out causing problems (and maybe providing solutions?)
    I wonder...
    ??? Why would I be having to choose which application would open an application---wouldn't an app open on its own (Unix Executable File")
    ??? When I moved the orig HD back-ups on the external USB drive I noticed a file with some kind of PC icon was being created within the folder. Currently I see that the file is now displayed as FINDER.DAT. Does this file relate to the error that refers to "appropriate translators"? Could the Apple Macintosh files being backed-up onto an external USB drive that may not have been formated as Apple HFS type be causing a problem?
    ??? Why wouldn't the smaller 10GB partition with the old HDD back-up copy moved to it not function like the original Hard drive? Particularly when I choose to boot to its SYSTEM w/Start-up Disc? BTW when I choose that route, the powerbook just boots to OSX Tiger.
    THANKS for any replies, you all have been a great help with the challenges of upgrading...
    MSG-PWRBkG3
    PS:
    Sorry for the long post. But, I have included as much up-front details as possible to assist in your replies. I also want to help others reading this thread later on as to what (correct or incorrect) procedures were followed... to help them see how these in-compatibility scenerios would be similiar to their situations... leading to solutions for all.

    Thank you for including as much detail as you did. It makes it much easier to troubleshoot this type of issue. What I'll do is basically follow along with the procedure you used and point out where you (unknowingly) ran into problems.
    "Back-up all files on the old 10GB HDD to an external USB drive."
    Okay, I'm betting that this external USB drive was formatted as PC-Exchange/Windows format. Since this type of disk format doesn't have native support for the special "Mac" information about files (such as resource forks and HFS metadata like file type and creator codes), when Mac OS writes files to these disks, it needs to use a special method. When you copy the files from OS 9, OS 9 adds special "FINDER.DAT" files and also stores the resource-fork-parts of the original files inside a "RESOURCE.FRK" folder on the disk. My FAQ goes into more detail about this. When, from OS 9, you look at the files you just copied to the PC-formatted disk, and they appear identical to the files on your original 10 GB hard drive, that is in fact a complete illusion. The files as they exist on the PC-formatted disk are very different from what they appear. When you hook it up to your OS 9 Mac, the files appear fine, and you can copy them and have them work just like the original files did. If, on the other hand, you hook this PC-formatted hard drive up to your OS X Mac, it looks at the files in a completely different way. If you copy the files off of this disk from OS X, most of the files won't be usable.
    "Remove old and replace w/new 40GB HDD, also install new 512MB PC-133 RAM module in lower slot."
    "booted from old OS CD and ran Hard drive set-up utility with two partitions, one 30GB the other 10GB."
    "Install OS 9.0.4 from that original Apple software CD onto the first 30GB partition."
    "Onto same partition, ran OS-9 Update 9.1.0, then 9.2.1, then fireware update 4.1.8f5, then Update 9.2.1"
    "Installed OS-X Tiger onto the first 30GB partition"
    "Moved all backed-up files from the external USB drive onto the second 10GB partition."
    If you did this from OS X, you will run into problems, whereas if you do this from OS 9, you'll be okay. The reason for this, as I mentioned above, is that OS X doesn't know how to "see" the files in the same way that OS 9 does.
    This is what I would do. Make sure you still have the PC-formatted drive with the files you backed up from OS 9. Reboot into one of your versions of OS 9 that works properly. Hook up the external USB drive, and the files on it should appear properly and function properly. Now copy the files over onto your local hard drive and they should work properly as well. The files that you copied over from OS X won't be useful and can be deleted. Then reboot into OS X and you should be all set.
    Hope this helps....

  • MAC OSx Tiger loses connection info

    I am running a newly installed Mac OSx Tiger OS on my G5 and have setup Oracle Calendar to connect to the server. The connection is maintained for as long as I have Oracle Calendar open. When I close it, Oracle Calendar reverts to a "new installation" state forgetting the settings just made. Is this a problem/bug with Oracle Calendar or with Tiger? Is there a work around? This is not a problem with other clients (e.g. Windows XP).

    Hi
    This is not happening on my G4 Powerbook with Tiger. I had Oracle Calendar installed before I upgraded -- not sure if that is relevant. I would look in your home directory in Library/Preferences and pull out any Oracle related preferences and start again. Other than that you could try using Disk Utility in /Applications/Utilities to repair permissions. Finallly if thats no good create a new User in System Preferences/Users and login in as that user and install -- if that works then you know there is some problem with your particular user setup.

  • Mac mini OSX Tiger 10.4.11 Upgrade options?

    Dear All,
    I am confused.
    I have a mac mini 1.1 Intel Core Duo 1.83GHz with 2 GB RAM. (which i bought June 2007 and upgraded)
    Its currently running OSX Tiger 10.4.11.
    I have lost the original disks that shipped with the mac and I want to erase and install the OS so it like its brand new again. Over the years I have installed loads of rubbish programs etc and just want to back up itunes and iphoto and start from new.
    Is it possible to just buy the latest OS Mountain Lion on disk for about £15 and perform an erase and install?
    What confuses me is: someone mentioned that i have to purchase each of the OSs (so 10.5, 10.6 and so on) this seems a bit extreme as I dont want to upgrade, but install fresh.
    Any advice is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

  • Installation Problems: OSX Tiger

    Hi all,
    I have a G4 iMac, I had 10.3.9 Panther on there, and I was starting to have some issues with space and computer running slow, and just recently my Quicktime7Pro just stopped working all together. SO... I got myself a 250GB LaCie Disk external HD and OSX Tiger.
    I took all my files and made backups of them on the external hd, then I ejected it, turned its power off and unplugged it and everything else that was unecessary. I then put in my OSX Tiger Install DVD. It's brand new, I just bought it yesterday!!! (2/28/07 @ 10am) I put it in and the system loaded. It said it was finished and it was going to restart. The computer shut down, and restarted and came to the loading screen, the bar went 100% filled and then it came to a blue screen.
    THIS IS WHERE I'M HAVING PROBLEMS!!! The top right corner will have the mouse cursor fade in, the "umbrella" will spin, then back to mouse, and fade out. Then it will change to a more of a greener/lighter blue and will have the lines "sun ray" loader. Then back to the normal blue (more cyan) and the cursor will fade in, umbrella, fade out etc. Over and over again. It won't go anywhere. I read the OSX Tiger booklet. I put the DVD back in (YES! it is retail!). I held C down. Waited. I chose the startup disk I wanted, and the computer froze. I had to shut it down and reboot. I followed the same steps, except this time it worked, but took me back to this mysterious blue>lightblue>blue>lightblue screen of death! I just wanted to start with a fresh HD on my iMac with Tiger, and now I can't even use my computer.
    I read this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=818804
    And s/he had similar problems. I just could really use some guidance here. I don't know how I'm ever going to be able to use my computer again, and I really don't have the $ to take it to a shop and get charged $200 for someone to install software that I could've done with a little bit of help.
    All help is definately welcome, and more than appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hi mace510,
    first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
    Did you buy the disks from the Apple Store? Are they black or gray? Did you follow this procedure: 10.4 Tiger Upgrade: Decision tree+checklist? It shows which steps you could have taken to ensure a successfull upgrade. Please go through the list and tell us which points you did NOT cover. It might help to diagnose the problem.

  • Logging into OSX Tiger from Vista

    I can log into Tiger from my Win2000 machine, but I'm having trouble logging into OSX Tiger from Vista.
    I got 1/2 way in using the login format:
    Computername@login_name
    And pass
    - so it shows all Tiger drives - but then could not open a drive...
    Any Ideas how to login in?

    Had the same problem with Vista and OS X 10.2.8 and 10.4.8 sometime ago and found this solution somewhere in a forum:
    If any of you are having problems with Vista logon to NAS devices running Samba, try:
    Run secpol.msc (type it in the Vista start menu search field)
    Go to: Local Policies > Security Options
    Find “Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level”
    Change Setting from “Send NTLMv2 response only”
    to
    “Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated”
    Vista defaults to only send the more secure NTLMv2 protocol, which these NAS devices / Samba do not support.
    Hope this helps - worked for me....

  • Going from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 5 and Mac OSX Tiger

    Hello,
    I currently have one of the first Intel Mac Book Pro's running OSX Tiger.  I also have a 3GS running ios 4.1 which I'm about to upgrade to the iPhone 5.
    What is the best way to back-up/transfer my contacts/txt's/etc from my 3GS to my 5?  I can't run the latest version of iTunes and eventually this year I will upgrade to a new iMac which would solve the problem...but for now I would like to transfer all my data over.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    The problem with that is my current iphone is running ios 4.1 and my laptop is running tiger so I don't have icloud.  Without upgrading to snow leopard and then to lion/mountian lion to get icloud is there any other option?

  • MPEG2 codec not working in Final Cut Pro on Mac OSX Tiger

    We have been using the File-export-Quicktime Conversion-MPEG2 codec for exporting of files from Final Cut Pro to DVD Studio Pro. On the new mac system that was just bought, the option does not show up.
    Currently the system is running Quicktime Pro 7.1.2/ FCP 5 and DVD Studio Pro 4 and it is a new mac system running Mac OSX Tiger.
    This problem has happened before on a mac running on an older system, but that was solved by reinstalling FCP and then DVD Studio pro and making sure that the QT Pro was of the latest version.
    Right now, we have reinstalled everything the same way, tried installing DVD Studio Pro after, we have also done a full software update of the software over the net.
    The codec is still not working, all the macs in the office are supposed to be upgraded to Mac osx tiger, but right now we can't do so, cos then we wouldn't be able to burn any DVDs.
    Please help, thanks.

    The installation of QT 7 is the culprit behind the missing MPEG-2 Export Component. But during upgrades, it doesn't always get rid of the file ... probably what happened on your older system when you upgraded to QT 7 or Tiger. Either the new system came with QT 7 preinstalled, therefore not including the Export Component, or if it was upgraded, the upgrade missed it.

  • Unable to load OSX Tiger after powercut during software update

    My Imac G5 (purchased September 2005), running OSX Tiger, was in the middle of a software update when we had a powercut. Now, when you turn it on, it gets as far as the blue screen with the grey Mac OSX box and status bar (after the grey screen with the spinning dial), but no further. The status bar does not move and I cannot get it to safe boot. If I hold down the shift key after the start up tone, then the fans come on and it takes a little longer to go past the initial grey screen, but once again stops when you get to the blue screen and status bar. Also, my install discs have disappeared off the face of the planet. Help!

    Boot it from your install CD/DVD...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.

  • 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 
    Model Name:
    iMac
      Model Identifier:
    iMac7,1
      Processor Name:
    Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed:
    2 GHz

    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.

  • I have a unwrapped copy of Mac OSX Tiger and i don't know what to do with it

    Hey everyone,
    So i don't have a Macpowerbook and i have a copy of mac osx tiger. It was originally my mom's dad's. How ever he has passed away and my mom's mom wants us to sell the osx tiger. What should i do?

    If it is a grey colored disc then it is machine specific and only useful to somebody who has the machine model for which it was made.  If it is black then it is a retail install disc.
    2 years ago you could have sold a retail disc at a premium price.  Now I am not so sure.  Tiger is now 4th generation behind Lion, Snow Leopard and Leopard.  Apple stopped supporting Tiger years ago and fewer and fewer other software packages are being issued that still run on Tiger.  Firefox stopped supporting Tiger, Flash (used on just about every web site out there) is no longer being updated, etc.  I think the writing is on the wall.  One of my favorite web sites that uses Flash stopped working for me yesterday.
    A machine specific disc is really handy for somebody who has that machine and completely useless to anybody who doesn't.
    The best thing to do is go on e-bay and see what is actually being paid (not asked) for Tiger, remembering to make sure it matches the copy you have.  If you do decide to sell it, make sure you tell the purchaser exactly which model disc it is.  We've seen many people on here who bought a disc only to find it wouldn't install on their computer.

    Tiger install DVDs are in short supply. Tiger is no longer available at the Apple Store but is still available for $129 by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753). For other sources, do a Google search for MA453Z/A and M9639Z/A . Also look on eBay. Be sure & buy a retail version (black with silver X) and not a model specific version (gray).

    that will alert me when I recieve new pop3 mail? I
    used to use AIM for this in windows
    The built in email program does sound an alert for new messages.
    2. Anyone know of a good (free, again) IRC client?
    iChat works well.
    3. I noticed earlier that my screen was flickering,
    it seems to have subsided for now, but is that normal
    to encounter in a new display? It wasn't really bad
    flicker, but I could see it.
    No idea.
    4. I leave my desktops on 24/7x365, will that be a
    problem with this iMac? Display shuts off of course
    after 30 mins
    You could set the iMac to go to sleep after non use. My Macs are
    always sleeping when not in use, waking them up takes seconds.
    Unlike windoze, never knew if it would be locked up or not.
    5. Should I get the extended warranty? I'm usually
    against them, but I am expecting this computer to
    last me at least 3 years (for $1300 it better!)
    before I upgrade, as I got that much out of a Dell
    and from what I understand, Mac's do not age nearly
    as fast as Windows pc's.
    It is well worth the cost. Never know what might happen. Also
    it is good insurance for future upgrades. I traded in my G4 tower
    purchased two years ago for 75% of what I paid for it. Apple care
    transfers, giving the buyer the remainder of your warranty.
    Thank you for any help,

    I am not able to load the os 9 on my osx, the cd that I got when I bought the mini mac...I have tiger installed....it tells me that there is nothing to install...but I don't have it on the prefrences- 9 - ......thank you...

    Hi Barak,
    Unlike the previous versions of OSX, Tiger doesn't automatically install Classic . However, it is still available- you just need to load it from the installation disk.

  • Put osx tiger on a CD from DVD

    hi i have the os tiger DVD and i need to some how put it on a Cd so i can boot it into my ibook that only has a CD drive please help

    Much easier:
    Get yourself a external DVD Firewire drive and push the ALT key after pressing the power button. Then select the OSX Tiger Install DVD when Startup manager shows up.
    Or: Use the FireWire target disk mode if you or a friend owns a Apple Notebook or desktop with a DVD drive.
