Retruning a mac with tiger to welcome video and removing profile...

I wish to return my mini to its original state as I have sold it, however every time i reinstall Tiger it maintains my profile, any help appreciated.

Perform an Erase and Restore from the computer's original disks, press the eject key or mouse button upon restart, and then press the Command and S keys. Type 'shutdown -h now' into the prompt without the quote marks; this will shut the computer off.

Can I use migration assistant from a mac with leopard to a mac with tiger?

My old mac was upgraded to leopard, (don't ask me why), and I just got a new mac with tiger, although I ordered leopard up to date. Can I use migration assistant to move stuff from the old mac with leopard to the new mac with tiger, or do I have to wait until I get the copy of leopard? Plus, if I move files over now- like through email and/or network connection, and then when I get leopard and archive and install, what happens to my files?

That is correct. You'll need either an ethernet cable or a firwire cable and a firewire to thunderbolt adapter to connect the two macs together. Here's info on Migration/Setup assistant

Copying from a Time Machine backup to a Mac with Tiger

I've got a Time Machine Backup of my MBP, which is running Leopard (obviously). I'd like to grab all of the files (recursively) from the latest TM backup of my "Documents" directory onto another Mac with Tiger.
From the command line (on the Tiger machine with the TM firewire backup drive connected), I've tried:
sudo cp -RL /Volumes/Daily/Backups.backupdb/My MacBook Pro/Latest/Macintosh HD/Users/sbrown/Documents/* ~/Documents
However, it does not follow the hard links. How can I get it to follow whatever links it needs to to give me a complete set of the files in the Documents folder?

Confirmed best practice (after hours with AppleCare)--will allow you to create a comprehensive backup of whatever you need from a former TM backup, without traversing aliases or needing to keep a Leopard install around after the initial step.
You DO need to have Leopard still installed, just once. Simply boot into Leopard, navigate to your backup volume and go to Latest--> in the Backup DB. This is your entire system as it most recently appeared. If you have enough hard drive space on your TM volume, you can copy every folder here to the root level of the same TM volume. This would ensure a complete, up-to-date and Tiger-visible backup at the root level. However, you can also just copy the folders you need--to the same root level of the TM backup--and the OS will break all the hardlinks and create normal (duplicate) files in the new location.
This is good because it bypasses your likely-small internal hard drive (which, if you're on a Powerbook, is a precious commodity). It just makes a dupe of your most recent backup. The other method (Show Original) won't let you get the entire drive state back easily. It requires manual lookup of every file you think you need, then a reboot into Leopard if you need another. This method lets you create a working archive.
Hope that helps...

Hi Klaus,

Below it is script ..... Java is not installed.
Below that is more script .... Launch Java installer.
Below that is further script .... Please reopen this preference panel after you have installed Java

OK I just transitioned to MacMail, iCal, and Mac address book. Goodbye Outlook, It was great for 18 years and painful for the last year. Microsoft is losing share with subpar software development.

As long as it meets the minimum technical specifications, although the more above the minimum you have, the better the experience.

My project is set up with "rotation" menu intro, video, and then "rotation" on end, however, when you put DVD disc in DVD player, menu does not come up on front end, it goes straight to the video. Is there some step I am missing?

Open your iDVD project and go into the Map mode. Made sure the autostart bin on the left is empty.

If you find a video in that bin remove it, save the project as a disk image and check the disk image with DVD Player. Then you can burn the disk image to disk with Disk Utilitiy at 4x for optimal burning.

Resetting a new Mac to play the Welcome video at first launch

I just bought a refurbished MacBook Air to give as a present and I wanted to go ahead and get it charged and updated to iLife 11. Now (if it's possible) I would like to reset the MacBook so that when it is unwrapped the recipient (who has never owned a Mac) can have the "Welcome" experience that you get with a new Mac. Is that something I can do or not?

Not sure if this works with new versions of mac OSX, but take a look here:

HT1338 Older Mac running Tiger 10.4.11. and Flash no longer works. Upgraded version installed and left me without any Flash support at all??

I recently attempted to upload the latest FLASH PLAYER. My older Mac (G4) works wonderfully as a desktop computer, so I NEED a flash player
badly, but now it says that Adobe no longer supports older Mac Power PCs! What's up with that?? Some of the best and most desirable computers
ever made are of no interest to Adobe?
I there a work-around to eliminate the need for Adobe's Flash Player?? Another Flash version......can you say Macromedia? HELP

You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 is for Snow Leopard onwards.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.
But possibly that only works with Leopard.

Upgrading Mac OS Tiger 10.4.11 and price

I received my MAC from a friend of a friend and so I'm not registered as the owner, is it still possible to upgrade it to the newest MAC with intel? (I want to work on Final Cut Pro 7)
Also how much would it cost me approximately?

Hi eddyberzak, and a warm welcome to the forum!
I take it that is a G5!?
The latest OS you can run on a G5 is 10.5.8
Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
* Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
minimum system requirements
* 512MB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
* DVD drive for installation
* 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
You have to call Apple & ask for a Product Specialist to get it.
And that won't run FCP7 or even FCP6, I think FCP5 was the last one for PPC Macs.

I'm using Mac OSX Tiger 10.4.11 and can't seem to find a version that is compatible

Please help me find the correct link to download a version that will work on my Mac OSX Tiger 10.4.11. The links from the forums take me to a page that doesn't exist. Help me, I'm desperate.

TenFourFox is for only for ppc mac, not intel mac, like slindquist's mac.
http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/ReleaseNotes1006
see : http://caminobrowser.org/
if you like to think about it, the latest '''but unsupported''' firefox for your mac is 3.6.28

thank you
