Problems installing lightroom 4 on mac running leopard osx 10.5.8

When I insert disc, I can open the disc, showing the lightroom 4 package, and the readme file. When I double click the package, nothing happens. When I open the installer, and click on the disc for lightroom 4, nothing happens. Help?

Well, the upshot is that my husbnd is the proud owner of a new macbook. Lightroom wasn't the first thing he hasn't been able to upgrade, so this was just the excuse he needed ;-). We got a good deal on a demo of last year's model.

Problem installing Silverlight on Mac running Yosemite 10.10.2

I've been using a streaming service successfully last year and re-signed up today. When I tried to pick a video I was presented with a window indicating I needed to install silverlight and it provided a link. To make a long story short I've tried
installing silverlight (using the stream service's link which was the Microsoft download page) and using it with Firefox and Safari and get to response from the streaming site. Checking Activity Monitor all that appears installed is Silverlight
preferences. When I click on 'Microsoft Silverlight.app all it shows is a 52 bit alias. Each subsequent install I first removed EVERY file related to silverlight. I'm stumped. Thanks.

Hi,
Please make sure you are running a Silverlight-compatible operating system, browser:

Opening PageMaker files on a Mac running Leopard

What program can be used to open windows pagemaker files on a Mac running Leopard?

None. You'll need to install Windows on your Mac.

WIndows XP/Vista can not recognize shared folder on Mac running Leopard

Hi,
I have problem with sharing file from my Mac running Leopard to my Windows machine (running XP and Vista). I follow the instruction on this website. http://lifehacker.com/software/mac-os-x-leopard/leopard-simplifies-networking-31 7033.php
My Windows machine 'see' the Mac. When i double-click or press enter on the Mac comp icon on my windows machine, I do not get any confirm box to enter username and password. Instead, I am allowed to view the content which is empty ( although I enabled some shared folder on my Mac)
Any suggestion to solve the problem pls .

If your Mac Pro has FileVault on, your Windows XP machine will not be able to access the files, as FileVault disables SMB and printer sharing for Windows XP clients.
In case FileVault is not on, you could try temporarily disabling the Windows firewall and the anivirus and/or internet security suite on the WinPC, and see whether it can access the files on your Mac Pro.
Good Luck.

I have a 27" desktop mac running with OSX 10.6.8. The bluetooth keyboard started not typing when some of the keys are pressed. Plugged in a wired keyboard, started doing the same thing. Now the cursor moves but cannot select anything. Suggestions?

Can I run OS 10.6.x in Paralleles installed on a Mac running OS 10.7.2?

Can I run OS 10.6.x in Paralleles installed on a Mac running OS 10.7.2?
This question is related to my need to continuing using Quicken 2005, which is not supported by OS 10 7.2. If I could load Mac OS 10.6.8 into Parallels and run Quicken 2006 in an emulated version of Mac OS, I could then run 10.7.2 and move onto iCloud. I've looked at a couple of altehrnaftves to Quicken 2005 but none are as comprehensive as Quicken.

Hi John,
That is an interesting question, to which I don't know the answer. You might try it on a separate drive or partition and see how it works. I run Snow and Lion but on separate partitions on my internal HDD. If you try it please let us know how it works.

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:

Two Macs Running Leopard Backing up to External HD, ONE BIG PROBLEM...

Hi Folks,
Hoping you can help me out. I have an intel imac and a PPC PBG4 both running leopard. I bought a 500gb hd to use TM to back up to. I connected the PBG4 directly via firewire 400 and did my first backup and it worked fine. I then was disconnected the PBG4 and connected the imac via firewire 800 to do a back up, it worked fine. Then was told I could keep the imac connected and back up the PBG4 via my network by mounting the drive from the imac. But the tranfer rate was misrable slow and in fact I came up with an error message stating it lost the connection to the drive and so I decided this wasn't the best option. But I am not wondering what is the best option. I am a newbie to macs, so I might be missing something small that could make a big difference in the transfer rate. Will I really be stuck mounting and unmounting the drive and connecting and disconnecting cables??? please help

If you're just running a cat5 cable from the Ethernet jack on one machine to the other, it won't work. You'll need a crossover cable. Then you'll need to make sure each Ethernet interface has a unique address on the same network, which must be different from the network you're on via wireless, by the way. Or you could just buy yourself a cheap hub (same rule applies to the network addresses.
You shouldn't have problems with what you want to do due to partitioning or anything else based on what you describe. The problem is the wireless network that's being used by who knows how many devices. If someone maxes out the bandwidth for a second while a backup is running, TM (and many other things) will choke.

I am trying to install lightroom 5 and I have OSX 10.6.8 and it says it cannot install because i need OSX 10.7 (edited)

I purchases PS Lightroom 5 yesterday and i am trying to install it on my MAC but I have OSX 10.6.8 and it says I need 10.7 to install it. Did I waste my money or is there anything I can do?

You need Mac OS X v10.7, v10.8, v10.9, or v10.10 to install Lightroom 5.
Find complete system requirement for Lightroom 5 below.

Despite English selected, I get "There was a problem installing Lightroom..." while installing 5.3

Found the announcement and KB-article [1] + other posts on the topic, but my problem is slithgly off;
I see in the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 5.3 12-30-2013.log that the MSI issue happens:
Install MSI payload failed with error: 1624 - Error applying transforms.
Third party payload installer Adobe_Lightroom_x64.msi failed with exit code: 1624
My Adobe Creative Cloud app has "English (International)" set as the app language, though.
Any hope for me to complete the upgrade?

Got excellent help from Dilip on Adobe chat!
Trick was roughtly;
Sign out of and close CC
Empty temp folder (run -> %temp%)
Sign back in to CC
Restart LR-install, it will fail again. Don't touch
In temp-folder, search for sub-folder called Lightroom_5_CCM_LS1_win6, with the file Adobe_Lightroom_x64.msi in it.
Execute install from mentioned file - that works (should work, and did for me) OK
Sign out and close CC
Sign back in -> now Lightroom 5.3 is listed as installed and up to date!
Thanks a lot, Dilip!

Installing Lightroom to Macs without deactivating LR from 2 old computers.

Hi, I have 2 old PCs (broken and inaccessible) with Lightroom installed. I have 2 new Macs that I'd like to install Lightroom. Can anyone help me what to do so I don't go over the 2 install limits? Thanks in advance.

Ned, thank you very much for the quick response. And non-geek me, your answer made my life so much easier. I did install Lightroom on my new Mac and is now running. Thank you from Bangkok!

Problems installing Lightroom 4.4 on Windows 7 Ultimat 64bit

Hi everyone,
I have probplems installing Lightroom 4.4 on Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and hope somebody can help me.
By the way: Lightromm 4.3 is still working fine.
Installation fails with the meassage
"Fehler beim Lesen von Datei: C:\Users\Markus\AppData\Local\Temp\{F7E7AEA5-5112-4244-B427-EC75DV1036A}\Adobe_Lightroom_ x64.msi. Überprüfen Sie, ob die Datei existiert und ob Sie darauf zugreifen können."

The file exists and I have access...
Any suggestions?

I was finally able to uninstall CS4 - it takes forever - and reinstall the original CS4 master suite on Windows 7. Then I used the help menu update tool to update directly from 4.0 - a download 930 MBs - that took a long time too - there must have been a huge number of folks downloading from Adobe last night. This morning, the updates worked and the 4.1 update is working smoothly with AVCHD and HDV and other functions all working.
Thanks everyone. As far as back up goes, I back up everything on separate drives. So if I'm currently working on a project, I'll have all the footage and project files duplicated on a separate drive. And, if it's a huge job, I may get paranoid and triple back it up
As far as backing up the system drive on my production machine - there's not much to back up - nothing other than CS4 and other plugins - in fact, I'll intentionally do a clean re-install once every 6 months or at least once a year just to humor myself.
But my test machine - now I have a deconstructionist approach - I'll try to break it just so I can then see what it takes to fix it!
