Regarding the Installation of Leopard

I hear that a lot of people are having problems "upgrading to Leopard." It's much better to backup your data files, format the hard drive, and install a completely "clean" OS than to try to install the new one over top of the old one. Just make sure you backup everything you need first.

Try booting to Recovery and repairing the startup disk
OS X: About OS X Recovery
Then try again and report what happens If problems provide details.

  • Question regarding the installation of a J2EE 6.40 Add-in

    Hi all,
    I would like to install a J2EE engine on a test instance of ECC 5.0 and have a few questions regarding the installation...
    Do I have to use the MASTER CD to first install the J2EE engine (Support Package 0) and then apply the latest support packages found on the SAP Marketplace?
    Or should be able to directly install the J2EE Add-In by using the latest support packages found on the SAP Marketplace?
    Best regards,
    Xavier Vermaut

    Thanks Bhavik for your reply,
    That's what I actually thought but I get the following problem... Here's what I wrote into my customer message... I am still waiting for an answer and would like to get this solved ASAP
    Dear SAP,
    We would like to install the J2EE 6.40 Add-In on our ECC 5.0 instance
    (TST) but get the following error message at the very beginning of the
    installation
    > Cannot find an installed ABAP system, which is a prerequisite for a
    > J2EE Add-In installation. The installation cannot continue.
    We checked the installation logs (sapinst_dev.log) and found the
    following :
    > Found these instances:
    > sid: MGR, number: 00, name: DVEBMGS00, host: erpqs1a
    > sid: TST, number: 10, name: DVEBMGS10, host: erpqs1a
    Why does the installation say that it can not find any ABAP systems when
    having previously found the 2 different instances running on this
    server?
    Would this problem be related to the fact that we have two instances on
    this server?
    Please find hereunder the way we performed this installation :
    01) Download of the 4 different parts of SAP J2EE Engine 6.40 SP 10
         (Solaris 10 - Oracle)
         Part I   : SAPINST10_0-20000121.SAR         (Solaris 64)
         Part II  : CTRLORA10_0-20000121.SAR         (Solaris 64)
         Part III : J2EERTOS10_0-20000121.SAR        (Solaris 64)
         Part IV  : J2EERT10_0-10001982.SAR          (OS Independant)
    02) Extract these 4 archives into /install/J2EE_640
    03) Check Java Version and Environment Variables
    04) Check Solaris Pre-Requisites
    05) Adapt "product.xml" as specified in OSS Note 697535 (IGS)
    06) Log in as 'root'
    07) Set DISPLAY environment Variable
    08) Move to the Installation directory
          ( /install/J2EE_640/SAPINST-CD/SAPINST/UNIX/SUNOS_64 )
    09) ./sapinst
    10) In the 'Welcome to Netweaver Installation' screen, select
          => Dialog Instance Finalization
    Any idea how to get this solved?

    You cannot install OS X without using an installer DVD, and that requires a DVD drive (internal or external.) Alternatively, if you have access to another Mac and if both have Firewire ports, then you can use Target Disk Mode: Transferring files between two computers using FireWire.
    Your profile indicates you have a MacBook, but are using OS X 10.3.x which is not possible. The first MacBook model used a special Intel-only version of Tiger, 10.4.x.

    Hi, You need a HP version 8 BIOS to support the NVIDIA GTX 960.  There is a version 8 BIOS posted but it's a one way installation (no back out).  There is always some risk to installing a BIOS update. If it fails, you might have to send your PC in for service. The 460 watt power supply in your PC should have an auxiliary PCI-E 6 pin power connector available.

  • A mac question regarding the installation of the JLex scanner

    Hi
    I'm trying to run JLex on my Mac running Tiger and Java 5. I am trying to run JLex but when I try and run the program I keep getting exceptions.
    I think the problem here is with the classpath. I've been looking around online and can't seem to find directions for altering the classpath on a mac.
    The instructions for installing and running JLex aren't proving enough for me to get it to work. These instructions are:
    Written by Elliot Berk  [edited by A. Appel] [revised by C. Scott Ananian].
    Contact [email protected] with any problems relating to JLex.
    The following steps describe the compilation and usage
    of JLex.
    (1) Choose some directory that is on your CLASSPATH, where
        you install Java utilities such as JLex.  I will refer
        to this directory as "J", for example.
    (2) Make a directory "J/JLex" and put the sourcefile Main.java
        in J/JLex.
    (3) Compile Main.java as you would any Java source file:
    javac Main.java
    This should produce a number of Java class files, including Main.class,
    in the "J/JLex" directory, where "J" is in your CLASSPATH.
    (4) To run JLex with a JLex specification file,
    the usage is:
    java JLex.Main <filename>
    where <filename> is the name of the JLex
    specification file.  If java complains that
    it can't find JLex.Main, then the directory
    "J" (which contains the subdirectory "JLex"
    which contains the class files) isn't in your
    CLASSPATH; go back and read steps 1-3 more
    carefully, please.I am guessing the problem I am having here is with setting the class path on a mac. If anyone can give me some help with this I would be really grateful.

    Creating this sort of trigger, though
    - would require that the user create triggers for every table they create
    - wouldn't prevent the user from deleting or disabling the trigger, deleting rows, and then re-enabling the trigger
    If I own a table, I will always be able to delete, insert, and update rows in that table. That's one of the privileges of ownership.
    I suppose that you could grant a user CREATE ANY TABLE privileges, let them create tables in another schema, and then have DDL triggers that only grant them appropriate privileges on those new objects. The CREATE ANY TABLE privilege, though, would be a huge security hole...

    Please somebody!
    if the installation of LEOPARD goes bad
    cant i reinstall 10.4 and upgrade back to 10.4.10

    Yes, but it would be much simpler if you cloned your existing system. Then, if the install fails, you don't have to start all over.
    Use superduper and create a bootable clone on an external drive.

  • Imposible continue the installation of Snow leopard 10.6 on a 1TB external hard disk, what can I do?

    Imposible continue with the installation of Snow leopard 10.6 on a 1TB external hard disk. I did the same last year and I continued working but suddenly appeared the simbol with a folder and a question mark and I know this is a problem so I click in the format option to the hard disk and when I tried to install again Snow Leopard, 'cause I want to recover my backups with Time Machine, I couldn't continue because the installation didn't respond to the click in the Utilities option or to next step > continue . Please, What can I do? I'll wait for your answers. Thank you so much in advance.

    Hello Melophage,
    It is the original hard drive which should have been erased by the previous owner. The problem is, I cannot access it without any OS installed. Or maybe there is a bootable USB or DVD that can do it ?
    Just an indication: when I boot without CD inserted in it, it shows a grey folder icon with a questionmark like this one:
    Thank you for your help
    PS: Yes, I am interested by the replacement pair of grey installation DVDs for my model. Where can I purchase this ?

    I have a Window 7 HP laptop. I want to install Snow Leopard on an external hard drive as the memory space on my laptop is very less. I have the original snow leopard disc and I think it's a retail version . Please guide me through the installation in details. Can you also please let me know about this boot camp.

    You cannot. From a legal standpoint, the license agreement for OS X mandates that you run OS X only on Apple hardware. HP is not (yet) owned by Apple.
    From a technical standpoint, your HP laptop doesn't use EFI, but rather an early predecessor called a BIOS. Apple is the only vendor of consumer computer hardware that uses EFI; other vendors reserve EFI for use in servers.
    Secondly, Apple's operating systems support a rather limited number of configurations of video hardware and mainboard chipsets directly since they need only support those systems that they manufacture. You cannot use Windows software or drivers on OS X, so prior to installation, you would need to write your own hardware drivers for your laptop, create an OS X drive image on a Mac, and then modify that image with your drivers before putting it in the HP.
    It will be simpler (and legal), to simply purchase a used Mac. Apple's online store has refurbished MacBook Airs starting at $850 and Mac Minis for $700. If you go to e-bay or craigslist, you'll find used Macs for considerably less.

  • I have an apple emac powerpc G4 which is running 10.3.9 software. I downloaded the 10.5 leopard software. Does anyone know how to install the 10.5 without using the dvd installer? In dummy terms please?

    The only way to get 10.5 is to purchase it on CD. Such as http://www.amazon.com/Mac-OS-Leopard-10-5-10-51/dp/B0012RAVRC where is being sold for $179.99.
    If your optical drive is broken, you will either need to replace it or get an external. There is no other way.
    Why do wish to upgrade? As you can see it is going to be expensive, probably more the Mac is worth.

  • Regarding the Post Installation and SP Level

    Hi All,
    We have installed NWDI on our existing EP Dev Server.Installation was successful but regarding the post installation we are in a thinking as how best we could patch the newly installed NWDI system.
    As our EP system is on SP 11and NWDI system on sp 9,Do we need get EP and NWDI Patch level in Sync? as there would be developers working from EP and BW as well on this NWDI server.
    Here My doubt is:-
    Do the Nwdi System needs to be in the same patch level as our EP system (as it is installed on EP itself.)
    Do we need to run the Template for the Newly installed NWDI only after the Patch Upgradation?
    Kindly Advice
    Regards
    Santosh.N.G

    the patch level of EP and NWDI should be same
