Problem with mac running tiger

So i have a macbook running tiger. i recently bought snow leopard from the apple store. i checked the requirements and i can download it. when i inserted the cd after about a minute the computer ejected it. not quite sure what to do but would lovvvve help/advise

Hold down the C key while starting the computer, of course with the disc in the drive. If it still refuses to read it you likely have a dirty or bad optical drive. Those notebook models only last a few years. Report back if the C key doesn't work and we can investigate more.

Networking problem from Mac running Leopard to Mac running Yosemite

I have a curious networking problem and I would love some suggestions about what might be causing the problem and how to cure it.
I have a PowerMac G5/1.8DP running Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard with a number of external drives attached that I use as backup for all my RAW files. These are mirrored on three drives.
When I mount the drives on my iMac desktop, running OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite, over a gigabit ethernet network, two things are happening - 1. some of the folders are invisible (although they are actually there and populated on the PowerMac) and 2. spurious, empty, folders with odd names appear on the Yosemite desktop.
I have checked on the PowerMac to see that the folders all contain files - they do - yet over the LAN they appear as empty folders with gobbledygook names. This happens on all my Macs running Yosemite so it appears to be a Yosemite problem, rather than a Leopard problem. To further reinforce that I have also checked the PowerMac from three other Macs, running Tiger and Leopard, and they can see exactly what is on the drives, with no missing folders or oddly named folders.
The images show 1. the folder as it appears on the PowerMac running OS X 10.5.8, with two folders RAW Files 26 and RAW Files 28 highlighted, 2. the same folder seen on the Yosemite desktop with two folders, RAW Files 26 and 28, missing and 3. the same folder on Yosemite with three oddly named empty folders.
I am at a loss to know how to cure it and hope that someone will be able to help.

You can never, never, never transfer any installed version of PSE on any platform. You must always install from scratch on a new machine. By trying to do so you have made more work for yourself. You will need to download and run this:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
which will not seem to do anything, but is a necessary step to break the links within the program. Then you can go around and manually remove everything related to PSE that you can find, not only from Applications, but also from your username>library>preferences and the library at the top level of your hard drive>application support>adobe. You must go to these locations manually; spotlight will not help you with this type of search.
Then you can reinstall from your original media or from the download here:

Problems with Mac OSX 10.5.2 and installing my pro tools le 7.1.1

Problems with Mac OSX 10.5.2 and installing my pro tools le 7.1.1.
My garage band & reason software don´t open anymore giving me a error messasge regarding the midi drivers in the operating system.
Please help!!!
Thanks,

Somewhere at either Macworld or here I learned that DVDSP 2, DVDSP 3 and now DVDSP 4 "internally" are major re-writes.
Support for HD among a few other items along with QT 7 which comes with Tiger means sincerely that one set of applications/OS is not going to be stable.
Personally I think of all the issues possible its DVDSP vs QT.
Unless you move to DVDSP v4 the alternative is to wipe the disk and go back to Jaguar (10.2) or perhaps Panther but avoid upgrading QT beyond 6. I advocate wiping the disk because I'n not sure an archive and install to down shift to an earlier version of the OS is possible. If it is I'd still worry about mis-matched files in all sorts of locations.

Leopard cannot see hard drive on any Mac running Tiger.

Running Leopard 10.5.2 on a Mac Pro 3GHz 4-core w/6GB RAM. I cannot connect to any hard drive / root directory on any Mac on my network running Tiger (10.4.9, .10 or .11) or OS9. Yes I have an Avid Meridian in the edit suite runing OS 9.2.2. No laughing please...
I can connect to the User folder on any Mac running Tiger but not any hard drives on any Mac running Tiger from a Mac running Leopard. The hard drive cannot be accessed from a User folder even if an alias of the Tiger drive is placed in the ~/User/Public folder.
The reverse works as usual. Any Mac running Tiger can see any hard drive on any networked Mac including Macs running Leopard.
Has anyone else encountered this issue &/or found a workaround? I spent almost 2 hours with Apple Tech Support including a system specialist. They confirmed this behavior in Leopard connected to Tiger OS Macs. Hard drives can be seen between all Macs running Leopard. It was theorized by one of the Apple techs that the behavior was engineered to encourage upgrading all Macs to Leopard. BAD idea! I requested this be reported to Apple engineering.
Tiger can see any drive on the network back to OS7. Leopard cannot see previous OS version hard drives.
TIA for replies.

I suggest that you repeat the external boot process with your MBP. If it boots the MBP, the internal SATA cable probably is faulty and should be replaced.

AD account Login problem with MAC 10.6.8

Hi All,
We have around 50 odd MAC that are connected to windows server 2008 R2. the user were logining in to these MACs using their AD account. Recently few of the random MAC did not allow the user to login using their AD account.When analyzed though the MAC shows that it has connected to the Domain and the server is active with green button it has unbind itself from the server.I had to login in as local user bind the MAC back to get this resolved.
Now the same has started happeneing for most of the MAC that we have and every morning I have login as local Admin and unbind / bind the MAC with the server. this gets reset once the user reboots or shutsdown.
Have tried with few of the below solution but nothing helped:
Solution 1:
<key>mdns_timeout</key>
<integer>2</integer>
The integer value is in seconds; changing it to at least 5 should allow the Mac OS X client to reconnect to the Active Directory domain after a network interruption. In some configurations, a larger timeout value may be required.
You can change this value by using the sudo command and a text editor to edit the preference file directly. Or you can use the Terminal command below, making sure to enter it all on a single line:
sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Set :mdns_timeout 5' /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/IPMonitor.bundle/Contents/Info.plist
Solution 2:
I have seen all of the probable solutions and tried everything and still I am getting issues with 10.6.6 and after rebooting the Mac gets unbind. Or the Mac gets Network Accounts Available even when not accessing the list of users from AD. But the thing that I have done that has solved all my issues with AD on the Macs is to uncheck the box to search on all domains. For some reason I am seeing that when the Macs have this option checked, it searches through out the forest on the same domain controller more than once, so AD stops the handshaking of the authentication.
I hope this helps like it did on our Network, since then I have not seen the Macs lose the binding or slow SMB.
If you've tried this please let us know.
TIP: Uncheck Allow Authentication from any domain for Mac AD problems
Wednesday, April 20, 2011
Steven Wells sent a fix and an explanation of problems with Macs losing their binding to Active Diretory:
Unchecking "Allow authentication from any domain in the forest" is working at our college. We have been beating our heads on this for about 2 terms, with no understanding of why it works in some places and not in others. When we found this working, our IT guy said that the Security SID is being duplicated, when it looks in other domain forest, and that is what is causing the problem. This is the first time I have found an explanation for the problem.
If you've tried this approach please let us know.
Solution 3:
Solved it. Create a file in Textedit with the name 'auto_master' (no file extension) with the following contents:
# Automounter master map
+auto_master # Use directory service
/net -hosts -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
/home auto_home -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
#/Network/Servers -fstab
/- -static
Place this in /etc/ folder
Hope this helps

TIP: a Kerberos fix for OS X 10.5 and 10.6 binding to Active directory
Friday, November 11, 2011
Mehdi Mafi forwarded a fix he found for problems with Leopard and Snow Leopard binding to Active Directory:
This was taken from Dane Riley's imaging building for DeployStudio.
With Mac OS X Leopard every Mac is now running a KDC (Kerberos Distribution Center). Basically each imaged machine is using the same security certificate and hash. Deploying a single image will deploy the same KDC to every system. This [Apple] article covers how to reset the local KDC so that each system is unique. Basically, do the following:
Launch Keychain Access
Search for com.apple.kerberos.kdc and delete all 3 items
Using Terminal type sudo rm -fr /var/db/krb5kdc
After deployment, perhaps using Apple Remote Desktop to all systems, re- establish the KDC by typing sudo /usr/libexec/configureLocalKDC
If you've tried this approach with Mac OS X 10.5, 10.6, or even Lion, please let us know. .
TIP: More on a kerberos fix for AD binding problems
Monday, November 14, 2011
Mehdi Mafi updated his Friday report about Mac OS X 10.6 problems binding to Active Directory:
You may want to add this. If the Mac keeps unbinding from AD (people can't log in to a Mac), here is how to fix it:
Unbind it from Domain
Launch Keychain Access
Search for com.apple.kerberos.kdc and delete all 3 items
Using Terminal type sudo rm -fr /var/db/krb5kdc
Re-establish the KDC by typing sudo /usr/libexec/configureLocalKDC
Bind it to domain again ( When you bind, uncheck allow authentication from any domain in the forest in: Directory Utilitiy-> Advanced Options\Administrative ) this fix the issue that sometimes it can' find AD under search space.
If you tried this please let us know.
Solution 5:
For Snow Leopard AD login issues, use upper case domain
Solution 6: for .local
To create this StartupItem, create the following directory as root:
/Library/StartupItems/FixADAuth
Then chown it to root:wheel and chmod it to 755. These must also be the owner/permissions on the two files it will contain, below:
Contents of our /Library/StartupItems/FixADAuth/FixADAuth:
#!/bin/bash
. /etc/rc.common
date > /var/log/FixADAuth.log
n=0
AuthSuccess=0
while [ $AuthSuccess != 1 ]
do
id Administrator && AuthSuccess=1 || networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet "Empty"; networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet middlewich.local; n=$(($n+1))
done
echo Authentication successful: $AuthSuccess >> /var/log/FixADAuth.log echo Operation count: $n >> /var/log/FixADAuth.log
date >> /var/log/FixADAuth.log
Contents of our /Library/StartupItems/FixADAuth/StartupParameters.plist:
Description = "Fixes Active Directory authentication issue";
Uses = ("Disks");
Obviously you'll need to change "middlewich.local" to your own domain name (and the network interface name if your connection is wireless). The script checks to see if it can see the user "Administrator" on the domain, as he's a fairly common bloke, but if you've renamed yours for security reasons then pick another one. I've also included some logging functionality for debug purposes, so you can verify how well the script is working if you need to and time it in your environment before telling the users how long to wait. The /var/log/FixADAuth.log file will contain the date/time the process started, the success variable set to 1 (just to verify), how many DNS operations were required to fix the problem, and the date/time it ended. For us the time difference is normally about +30-40 seconds with around 120-180 operations taking place. Once you're happy with the script, you can strip it down to its bare functionality if you like, like so for us:
#!/bin/bash
. /etc/rc.common
AuthSuccess=0
while [ $AuthSuccess != 1 ]
do
id Administrator && AuthSuccess=1 || networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet "Empty"; networksetup -setsearchdomains Ethernet middlewich.local
done
I hope this helps someone!
Regards

You are welcome.
But the question is 10.6 mac just like 10.6.8 , as long as its the same and works.
Yes. You can save some updates by using the combo update.

Email Problem with Mac

Hi, I am new to FIOS so I hope this is the proper board to post in. I set up 2 subaccounts for verizon.net email and configured them for my Mac Mail program. Everything worked well for about 2 days, and all of a sudden the Mail program keeps asking for my password (even though it was saved in my Mail settings) and says the the incoming mail server is offline. I've Googled this issue and see that others have posted about the same authentication error. Has anyone else here experienced - and solved - this problem? Thanks.

I am having the same problems with Mac eMail. I have two Macs, one that is running Lion and the other is running Snow Leopard. I have spent days on the phone with Apple and Verizon and they are blaming each other and neither have a solution. Have you been able to get a response? It looks like this is something that happens from time to time but never really gets fixed.
Please let me know if there has been a fix since the Mac Mail update in July? With the Union Issues Verizon doesn't have enough people to address the issues both in person ( I had a tech come to the house and he didn't know anything about software ) or on the phone. They keep kicking it back to Apple. I also have a couple iPhones and both are working fine. So this seems to be OS X specific. I've had Macs and iPhones for 3 years or more.
Just makes me think something was done to the mail servers they didn't get correct.

Problem with Mac Office Password Protection

I'm running Mac OS X 10.7.5 with MS Word for Mac 12.3.5 and MS Excel for Mac 12.3.5.
I created a Word (.docx) and an Excel (.xlsx) document on my Mac at home, both with password protection. I uploaded the documents onto Google Drive. I was able to open the documents a few times with the password on my Mac at home, and on my PC at work. However, now upon opening the docs, Word and Excel say the password is incorrect (both home MAC and work PC).
I know I'm entering the correct password. I'm 100% positive. I was able to open the docs a few times previously just a day before. Now they're completely inaccessible. My questions are:
(1) Is this a common problem with Mac for Word/Excel docs?
(2) Are there ways to recover the password (a dictionary based brute force solution is unlikely to work, as I use non-word passwords with numbers)?
(3) If this is a common problem, are there other alternatives to password protecting or encrypting Mac for Word and Excel docs that don't cause problems?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Could just be thats the way it runs on Rosetta. I called in apple to ask if I could return office '04 because I didn't want to take the chance, they were more than eager to return it for me because of the fact it would be slow/maybe have problems running in Rosetta.
I just got iWorks instead till the universal version of office comes out (which if you buy office '04 you'll have to buy the new universal version as well, or so the rep told me).

Problems with "Mac Help"

My help files, especially "Mac Help", no longer work properly since upgrading to Tiger. If I open "Mac Help", for example, the help window will pop up, but the links will not work (nothing happens when I click on them) and the search feature in help will not work either (the little gray "clock" just spins next to the help bar and nothing else ever happens). Any suggestions on this one? As I'm a relatively recent Mac convert, the help feature was something that I came to rely on. Thanks!

Hi CP,
This is a common problem with Mac Help. When it happens, try first (quit Help) deleting this folder:
Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.helpui
If Help still doesn't work, try then deleting those files:
Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpviewer.plist
Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.help.plist
(and this one if you find it):
Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpui.plist
See also this KB article for more info
- Mac OS X 10.2, 10.3: Mac Help Viewer unexpectedly quits
and this excellent X Lab FAQ
- Troubleshooting Help Viewer
It seems (not sure about that), that Help caches get easily corrupted when interrupting searches instead of patiently waiting for its internet accessings etc?
Good luck!

Your advice did not help me. I also installed 10.7.4 combo but the situation is the same.
my internet connection is ok, mail is ok, but app store after 3 resets does not recognize my ID and it says "connection is not possible". Why? I have the same problem in both my mac mini late 2009 and mac book air 2010? Is it a problem of 10.7.4 update? I have to solve this problem and how can i return to 10.7.3 if my last backup was not with 10.7.3???thank you for your kind collaboration...

Thawte Personal Email Cert - Problem with Mac Mail

Hi, I have requested a free cert from Thawte and there seems to be a problem with Mac Mail (using 2.0.7).
I am using Entourage to send a signed message from [email protected] to [email protected]
If I check mail for [email protected]
Mac Mail reports "There was a problem reading the digital signature for this message"
If I check the same account with Thunderbird, everything works fine.
Anyone else having or had problems?
-chris

Hi,
Thanks for the responses. I requested another cert and that did not help. Here is the process I used after requesting another cert.
1. Logged into www.thawte.com and requested a new cert.
2. Using Firefox, retrieved the cert.
3. In Firefox, backed up the cert to a pkcs12 file.
4. Opened Keychain and deleted the first cert.
5. Imported the pkcs12 backup file. Imported fine.
6. Open Entourage, under tools, accounts, exchange profile, security, selected the cert Thawte Freemail Member.
7. Checked all 3 options (sign, include cert, clear test signed.
8. Created a test message from Entourage to .mac account address.
9. Checked mail with Mac Mail and signature fails.
10. Check with 1.02 Thunderbird and it comes back with valid digital signature.
Next, I sent a test email to my Exchange account from Entourage and that message verifies fine. It just seems to not work when I check my email with Mac Mail.
Thanks!

Any one use an Apple MA034 external modem with PowerbookG4 running Tiger?

any one use an Apple MA034 external modem with PowerbookG4 running Tiger?

Not too common with G4 PowerBooks as they have an internal modem. I can't find Apple's sepcs but a third-party ad shows it minimally needs 10.4.3 or higher and a G-series processor. That should work.
However, the Apple version is expensive used. I googled Apple MA034 external modem and found an Amazon page that showed other compatible modems that were much cheaper.

I guess I should have asked for the "definitive" fix. I read several "fixes" but it seems no one knows if Apple has a definitive fix. Kind of like going into an Apple store and getting three different answers from three different reps. At least they are not rude and no, I don't have a problem searching the forum.

Printing/creating PDF problems with Mac OS 10.6.4 and word v.X

In my job at university I use Word 2003 (version 10) in my new iMac. Since I updated to MacOS 10.6.4 I have problems with the printing menu. That means that I can not print or convert to PDF or even generate a preview. When trying to print or obtain a preview, word freezes and I have to force quit. When trying to generate a pdf file it does, but the generated file is unreadable (it says is damaged) and word freezes again. I have played with the preferences, change user and it didn't help. I checked the Font Book and indeed they were many duplicated fonts. I sorted them out, but the problem persists. With very short files it works, but with longer ones word invariably crashes when trying to print or make a pdf. I took one long .doc file and I copied into my laptop (MacBook pro, 2008) that was running 10.6.3. I printed it and converted to pdf; no problems at all. Then, for the sake of knowledge, I updated the system to 10.4.6 and then I couldn't print or create a pdf with the very same file, so it seems that certainly the update is reponsible. So now I know cause but I can not print from any of my computers. To me convert to pdf is an important functionality so I would appreciate any help. I have some ideas: reinstall Office 2003? reinstall 10.6 from the disk (and not update)? use Time Machine to restore the system as it was before the update?
I didn't detect problems in Office 2004, or any other programs in my macs. Unfortunately, I need Office 2003 for compatibility with some other software. Thanks in advance!

I updated my MBP to 10.6.4 last night and today I was printing fine from Word 2008 (v12.2.5). I haven't used Office vX since Tiger so I cannot comment on its stability with the latest update. But I suggest that if you haven't done so already, try opening Disk Utility and running Repair Disk Permissions on the 10.6.4 partition. Once this has completed I also suggest that you reset the printing system, restart your Mac and then add your printer queues again.
*How to Reset the Printing System*
1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse (or right click if supported).
4. Click "Reset printing system ..."
5. Restart your Mac
