QT 7.0.3. Pro and Tiger

Hi All,
Crossposting for a quick fix. Since upgrading to Tiger I can't play movies on Quicktime - I get a blank movie screen. But I can play a .mov from a CD. Is there a setting I need to ajust?
Thanks in advance.
Phil

You are probably missing the needed video codec. Many files (especially .avi files) use codecs that are not part of the standard QuickTime install.
Open the Movie Info window and note the codec. Do a Google search for a Mac compatible version and install what you need.

Macbook Pro and Tiger Woods

I've just loaded Tiger Woods 08. The game will not launch with the message that my video card is not compatible even though I have an ATI Radeon x1600 256Mb which the specs say is sufficient. I get a message box saying that my video card is not compatible and when i click OK, the game quits to the finder.
Anyone else have this problem or a solution?
I have a 15" macbook Pro 2.33GHz.

I'm not sure if you have bought the latest MBP with the Penryn chip installed in it or not, but I have played ut2004 for several hours with the laptop on my lap, and temperature did go a little above 72 C, which is normal and fan speed was a little below or above 5800 RPM. Unlike the Santa Rosa MBP that I had but sold later, the Penryn didn't burn my testicles

Studio Pro 1.5 and Tiger

I'm trying to burn a DVD using an old version of DVD Studio Pro (v. 1.5), but it keeps crashing whenever I try to "Build and Format Disc."
The "Build Disc" function works. I have the "VIDEO_TS" and "AUDIO_TS" folders and they play just fine on the Apple DVD Player. But I want to burn it on a disc but whenever I try it the application quits immediately.
I know I'm using an out of date version - but it's what I have...
I just recently updated to Tiger, and this is the first time I've tried creating a DVD since then. Are there compatibility problems with older versions of Studio Pro and Tiger?
I'm using an older machine as well. PowerPC G4 450mhz. I know that iDVD won't run on my machine, so I'm a little concerned about upgrading to a newer version of Studio Pro, even if I could afford it.
I have an older version of Toast (Titanium 5.2), but I've never tried burning DVD's with it. Studio Pro has always worked for me.
If I drop the VIDEO and AUDIO folders into a separate folder can I burn that directly using Apples built in CD burning tool? And will that create a DVD that will work on regular players?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
450mhz PowerPC G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I wouldn't be at all surprised if there were some compatibility issues with v1.5 and Tiger... they are several years apart and Tiger uses very different underlying architecture than earlier versions from Jaguar's era.
If you can build a disc image from v1.5 then you could burn that using Toast, but as long as Toast is recent enough to list DVD in it's output options you should be OK.
If you can only build, and have the two folders sitting there, you can still use Toast. As I recall, you need to look in the 'Other' dropdown menu in that version of Toast, and select DVD from there. You need to ensure that this is a UDF disc (I can't now remember if that was in the advanced settings for Toast or listed in that drop down), and once set you drage the Audio_TS and Video_TS folder into the Toast window. As long as the disc you create is UDF, and that those two folders are at the root of the disc, then you should be OK to create a DVD that will play in a set top player.

FINAL CUT PRO HD 4.5 AND TIGER 10.4.3

Can any of you smart people tell me if I can use Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 with Tiger 10.4.3. Unfortunately I installed Tiger before installing Final Cut 4.5. Yes, it sounds crazy, but it is a long story. I can't afford FC 5, so it has to be 4.5 for now. I heard there was only one compatibility issue with 4.5 and Tiger, something to do with Desktop Previews or something and a quick patch/fix was available for that. Can anybody help me. Thank you!!
G5 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I'm running 4.5 on 10.4 without any issues....
Most, if not all, of the difficulties come from funky Quicktime7 installations.

Have old MacBook Pro running tiger 10.4 want to save date to external hard drive and buy newer MacBook and still use same drive. Any suggestions, most WD drives say nothing about os tiger 10.4.

Have old MacBook Pro running tiger 10.4 want to save date to external hard drive and buy newer MacBook and still use same drive. Any suggestions, most WD drives say nothing about os tiger 10.4. The OS compatibility is much newer on the data. Totally confused. Not a computer person.

I haven't checked reviews recently but there's a difference between bare drives and drives with enclosures. Western Digital made some of the most reliable drives last time I checked, though the enclosures weren't all that great. It is convenient to get both in one package but I usually buy a highly rated enclosure and then put a highly rated drive in it myself. OWC sells some good enclosures but if they put a so-so drive inside of it then the package is only as good as its weakest component. If you get a package from them, ask them what drive is inside (some vendors have no idea what's inside - went to an Apple Store recently and they couldn't tell me what was inside some of their Apple brand enclosures). My first thought if buying a new drive would be to buy a OWC enclosure with a WD drive, but chek around because I may be out of date.
10 years ago Seagate was one of the best drives. Now they rate poorly in reviews.

I want to share files between my MacBook Pro and G5, I am using an AirPort

I want to share files between my MacBook Pro and G5, I am using an AirPort Extreme Base Station. I can see the MacBook Pro on the G5 and vice versa, I have file sharing turned on both, as well as Screen Sharing. I currently am sharing using Target Disk Mode, I want to know what other wireless options are available to me?
I want to have the 2 computers able to see each other and be able to share files be drag and dropping, I also have another G4 on using Tiger I want to be a part of this happy Apple sharing family. Can someone please tell me how to accomplish my goal?
Thanks in advance for reading and replying to my post,
Sebastian

The mac help is: Finder window/Help/Mac Help. It provides answers to a lot of common questions, including file sharing.
As for the ethernet cable, you can either buy another one (inexpensive and available in many places including Walmart), or just unplug it from your modem temporarily and plug it back in when you're done.
As for Target disk mode, take a look at this Apple article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
Apple online support pages are also a great way to find out how to do things.
As I mentioned, I prefer using the ethernet/file sharing method if I need to copy a lot of files; however, there is another way around if you have an external drive and just want to copy one or two files. Just plug the external into one computer, copy the file onto it, unplug, plug into the other computer and copy.

I LOADED NEW HARD DRIVE IN MY MAC PRO AND NOW I'M GETTING A GREY SCREEN!

I REMOVED MY 160GIG HARD DRIVE OUT OF MY MACBOOK PRO AND REPLACED IT WITH A 320GIG NOW WHEN I GO TO LOAD MAC OS X DISC I GET A GREY SCREEN THAT READS CAN'T FIND DRIVER! CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK THE PROBLEM IS OR WHAT I SHOULD DO NEXT.

Did the computer ship originally with a Tiger 10.4.x system, and was the Snow Leopard 10.6
disc used to upgrade the OS from 10.4 to 10.6? Or are you using a Leopard 10.5 disc?
Sometimes an error can result when reinstalling a later OS in a computer that had been
running an older computer, when the former setup had seen a firmware update. And in
a few other situations, if 10.5 was skipped, and OS 10.4 to 10.6 was the path, a few users
had noted problems later on. Since you did not note if the computer was new enough to
have shipped with Snow Leopard (thus perhaps had AppleCare plan coverage, too) these
other questions arise to find those details.
There is some conflicting (or missing information) in your posts; just enough
to see the problem may be in what you have and how you are using it.
Is the latest software version you have a full retail version of the OS X, or was it an upgrade
disc (such as the low-cost upgrade for Snow Leopard) used over an older 10.4 OS X version?
Was a firmware update performed on the computer with the other installation of this software
before you replaced the hard disk drive? Sometimes a firmware update to the logicboard may
cause a problem in later installs of an older OS X than the last one the firmware update was for.
If there were jumper pins to be set specific to use it correctly in this computer, before installing the
new hard disk drive, and if they were not set accordingly, the computer may not see an install disc
or be able to use the disc to install an OS X. Other difficulties may result, if not immediately.
There are details missing in this discussion which may pertain to the outcome.
{And I pointed out your new thread on this same topic to forum moderators, since
you already had this one with replies; as duplicate questions are often not helpful.
That was in the Tiger 10.4 discussions area.}
Good luck & happy computing!

How do I get Snow to work with MacBook Pro running Tiger?

I have a MacBook Pro running Tiger (obviously), and have been trying to get my Snow base station (a.k.a. Dual Ethernet) to work with it, but couldn't.
After hours of searching these pages, Apple Support and Google, I found this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301510
So...it seems like it can't be done. The question now is...what do I do? The Support page doesn't give me any help
Anyone have any tips?

Just to confirm, n5k, the article 301510 says, 'To administer the original AirPort Base Station (Graphite) or second-generation AirPort Base Station (Dual Ethernet) from a Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" computer, you must use AirPort Admin Utility'. It doesn't say it can't be done at all, just that that neither of the Airport Setup Assistants will work.
I'm having the same problem as you, accessing the Internet from a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.4.6 (yes, obviously) through a Snow Base Station. Now I am wondering if we will be helped by the MacBook Pro SMC (whatever that stands for) Firmware Update which I am downloading now.

Cannot Complete Installation of Vista with Mac Pro and Boot Camp

I only have one hard drive with my Mac Pro, and I partitioned the drive into two sections with boot camp and restarted with my Vista 64 bit Ultimate CD.
I have tried formatting the partition with Vista and it still gives me the dreaded error message of "windows is unable to find a system volume that meets its criteria". I've tried deleting the partition during installation, and making a new partition with Vista, reformatting, then restarting the computer. Same message.
I don't know what to do. I've tried like mad searching for topics like this one here, but every one of them deals with installing vista on a second dedicated hard drive on the Mac Pro. I only have one. How do I get this to work?
Please help if you can. I would REALLY appreciate it. I'll be watching the thread. Thank you!!

Thank you for your reply! I'll be here all night.
I have the 3GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon processors. I tried installing Vista ultimate with my 32 bit software, but I still get the same message (I own both legally, btw).
Thanks for your help.
Several things to do:
Run OS-X Disk utility and repair the disk if necessary, and file permissions.
Be sure your HD has the GUID partition scheme and if it has SMART that it's OK
Zap the PRAM
Be sure you are logged in as administrator when creating the BC partition and starting the installation of Windows from Leopard
When I installed Vista Ultimate 64-bit, I was using BootCamp beta, 1.2 or 1.3. I created the partition with BootCamp Assistant.app as you did. It's a 60GB partition that I formatted with NTFS with BC.
After starting the install in Tiger, I then simply inserted the Vista 64-bit DVD and that was it.
It just installed.
Ditto with XP-Pro on my other MBP. Zero problems with BC. It was also done with a beta, BC1.0.
I have never installed Windows using Leopard. When I updated to Leopard from Tiger nothing changed, but there seem to be more problems with Leopard and BC2.0 than there were with Tiger and the beta versions.
There are no requirements about legality until after the OS is installed, so that's a moot point.
There are some install DVDs that are in ISO format and they won't work, but it seems that yours is working but not finding a suitable volume.
You might try reformatting the BC partition with BootCamp assistant as FAt32 and seeing if that works, but you are limited to 32GB if you do that, but it would be a good test. Vista should then format it into NTFS.
Be sure that your Leopard OS is fully backed up because stuff happens when you keep fooling around with partitions.
Also look through this forum for similar problems.

I have a 1st generation MacBook Pro and I recently downloaded OS X Maverick. My iTunes will not open because it says i need a 64 bit version. Already followed the promted instructions but no luck. Any suggestions??

Oh, you do have the C2D! That's great!
I'm no technical expert, I just like to help out whenever or wherever I can so... I don't know if this can help you, but let me tell you about how I got my Snow Leopard to run in 64 bit mode. When I got my (late 2008) iMac it was running in 32 bit mode under Tiger (2.4 GHz/Core 2 Duo). I eventually upgraded to Snow Leopard & it was running in 32 bit mode (by default) w/1 GB RAM.
Somewhere along the line, I happened to watch a YouTube Video that showed how to upgrade an iMac's RAM, so I ordered two - 2GB sticks of Crucial RAM and then - under the guidance of the 14 or 15 year-old young man who posted the video on YouTube; wearing a rather fashionable static-electricity-neutralizer-wrist-strap, I removed 1GB of RAM & plugged in the 4GBs of RAM. So - boom like that, it was like I bought a brand new machine.
It was over a year later when I stumbled across a way to boot Snow Leopard into 64 bit mode. Turns out that if you boot while holding down the 6 & 4 key combo (the ones above the QWERTY keys), then the machine runs in 64 bit mode. Go figure. Now my Snow Leopard and just about all of my applications - with the ironic exception of iTunes - runs in 64 bit. iTunes seems fine though; if there's a performance bottleneck, I really can't tell.
Well, that's about it..
I hope that something I've mentioned can help you achieve your overall goal.
Finally, it's hard to jump onto a train, a large cat, or a surfboard that's already moving. But don't be surprised when someone a fraction of your age shows you how to.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
iTunes in Mac OS X Tiger is outdated. Open  > Software Update to install the latest iTunes version for Tiger.
If you need iTunes 10.7 or a newer version, you have to upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. First, check that your Mac is supported > http://support.apple.com/kb/sp575 If it is, buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
After buying Snow Leopard, make a backup of your data, insert the DVD and upgrade to Snow Leopard. After upgrading, open  > Software Update, and install the latest Snow Leopard version. Finally, run Software Update again to install iTunes 11.0.4. If you want to install iTunes 10.7 instead, download it from the Apple website > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1576

I have just bought a 2nd hand MacBook pro and need to wipe the previous owners details. How do I do that?

Hiya, so I've got this old MacBook Pro and need to wipe the admin user but have no password to work with. Can anyone tell me the easiest way to get rid of her and set myself up please? Thanks.

You will need the original Tiger installation disks. Insert the install disk, open Disk Utility from the UTILITIES menu, erase the HDD and inatall the OSX. That will create your own Apple ID. The second option is to use a retail Leopard or Snow Leopard disk instead, but they do not come with all of the applications.

Coverflow crashing Mac using ATI 9800 and Tiger

just gave my MDD dual G4 a birthday and installed an ATI 9800 pro mac edition card and moved from Panther to Tiger, however I have a problem:
first of all let me say, I have 2 monitors connected to my mac using 2 separate graphics cards, ie 1 screen per card, my other card is a PCI ATI 7000 32mb and the problem I am about to describe does not happen on the ATI 7000 card/monitor it works perfectly fine.
problem: iTunes displayed on the new 9800 pro card if I try to switch to coverflow mode my mac completely freezes, dead, requiring a reboot, however if I move iTunes over to my other monitor it works just fine which leads me to think that its a bug with the 9800 and Tiger?
needles to say I have rebuilt my iTunes library and loaded the latest drivers for my graphics cards, and OSX is bang up to date:
anyone else get this problem?

btw both monitors connected by DVI

Logic 6 and Tiger Issue

I just upgraded to tiger, from panther.. I'm still using logic pro 6, and after 3 days of erratic behaviour (long long start ups amongst other dialogue boxes), now it wont start up at all.
I also use a motu 828 mkII, and have installed the latest tiger drivers for this product, to no avail.
If anyone wants to know, i really don't think it's compatible with tiger, and although i was going to upgrade anyway as soon as i could, now i have a problem..... do i go back to panther in order to finish my tune? what a waste of time! Shame there wasnt a warning from apple..so i do it for you.

Nathan Pangburn, "Logic 6 and Tiger Issue" #3, 11:38am Oct 26, 2005 CDT
Be aware, there is one bug that I know of with Logic Pro 6.4 and 10.4. If you try to change a song's metronome settings, Logic will crash.
I think that's the only known issue.
The workaround is to create songs in 10.3 with the desired metronome settings and use them as templates in 10.4.
