SLOW logins and account switching after upgrade from Tiger to 10.5.6?

Just bought and installed 10.5.6 as part of the MacBoxSet and had no problems installing the software. But when I tried to login, it took forever and still takes between 3 & 5 minutes to login in at boot-up or to change accounts. Gave up on trying to use fast switching. It just stalls everything. Most software seems to be running fine now. Did have some issues with "MAIL," but seem to have overcome those by deleting preferences.
Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated. THANKS ! !

  • ITunes Not Recognizing my iPod Touch after Upgrading from Tiger to Leopard

    After upgrading from Tiger (10.4.x) to Leopard (10.5.0=>10.5.6), my iPod Touch is no longer recognized by iTunes 8.0.2. The iPod Touch no longer appears in iTunes' "source list" (left side pane in iTunes' GUI).
    Immediately prior to that upgrade, my iPod Touch was working great with Tiger (10.4.x). iTunes 8.0.2 recognized it (listed it in sources) and always synchronized with it successfully.''
    My iPod Touch is also not shown in the Finder. However, it does show up as recognized in iPhoto.
    Any ideas on how to get the iPod recognized again in iTunes under Leopard?

    Thanks to a posting by Jim in a different Apple Discussions (forum), my problem is now resolved. Read on for the details.
    iPods & Finder. Some other postings incorrectly lead me to believe that the iPod would show up in the "Finder". Jim's posting set me straight on this.
    iTunes Not Recognizing iPod Touch. Prior to Jim's posting, I had already read the article that Jim referenced (to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service per article "http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747").
    Prior to Jim's posting, I had also read other articles in various "Apple Discussions" (forums) that suggested this recognition problem could be resolved by uninstalling/re-installing iTunes 8.0.2. Some implied that you could just re-install iTunes 8.0.2 right over the currently installed one without bothering to uninstall it.
    Based on those postings, I "gambled" last night and simply downloaded and re-installed iTunes 8.0.2 (without uninstalling it first). I noticed during the installation that the Apple Mobile Device agent was also re-installed. Well, my gamble paid off! After the installation (and a reboot?), iTunes onces again RECOGNIZED my iPod Touch.

  • SSO and Portal down after upgrade from AS 10.1.2.0.2 to 10.1.2.3

    SSO and Portal is down after upgrade from AS 10.1.2.0.2 to 10.1.2.3. All others are running fine. Any similiar experience and solution?
    Thanks.

  • I have a big problem with Lion and PGP. After upgrading from snow leopard to lion I cannot access my PGP drive which was generated under snow leopard. PGP does not start but gives a notion that lion cannot work with my PGP version. Solution?

    After upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion I cannot access a PGP drive which was generated under snow leopard. PGP does not start. When I try to start I just receive a message that Lion cannot work with PGP. How can I now access important and confifential informatio which I have stored in PGP (snow leopard). Do I have to move back to snow leopard. If so, how can I do this? 

    If you have this product,

    you have to go back to Snow Leopard.
    To re-install SL, back up your home directory, format and re-install.

  • Sent Mail folder empty after upgrading from Tiger to Leopard

    Hi,
    Many thanks in advance for your attention.
    Writing for a friend:
    This is for their PowerPC G5. Running OS 10.5. Mail - version 3.
    When they upgraded from Tiger to Leopard (not an Erase and Install), their Sent Mail folder in Mail was empty of any sent mail.
    However, I can see they have sent mail in their Home/Library/Mail folder.
    How to I get Sent Mail in Mail to see this?
    (Drag and drop does not seem to work. I tried to drag and drop one saved mail from the Home Library/Mail folder into the Sent Mail folder in Mail and it didn't take).
    They have only one email account.
    Thank you,
    - Ross

    Lonnie, thanks
    Mailbox behaviors set up exactly as you describe, "Store sent messages on server" is checked and "Delete" set "Never".
    Rebuild doesn't really help.
    I use Kerio 6.0.6 mail server, with IMAP (143) for incoming and SMTP (25) for sending.
    And it works already like four or five years without problems.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks a lot.

  • Did you need to reinstall FCS after upgrading from Tiger to Leopard?

    Need to upgrade from Tiger to Leopard mid FCP/Motion3 project and without FCS2 discs handy...I can't access them til after the project deadline.
    I've read in a KB article that 'most' of the apps are ok after the upgrade-what's your experience?

    Don't even think about it unless
    #1 You MUST have a new OS to complete the project (i.e. new plug-in only works in 10.5)
    AND
    #2 You'll have a lot of extra time on your hands to reinstall everything when FCS doesn't quite work the way you need it to.
    Of course you're familiar with the recommendation to clone your system before ANY upgrade.

  • Can't play long voice memo after upgrading from Tiger OS to Snow Leopard OS

    I have a voice memo that's 1.5 hrs long saved on my computer that I used to be able to play in iTunes & Quicktime, but ever since I upgraded from Tiger OS to Snow Leopard OS, the file will not play anymore. I tried installing quicktime 7 from the snow leopard optional installs but the file still didn't play. I also installed the VLC player which opened the file, but only played 7 minutes of it. When I try to open the file in quicktime it says that it can't play the file and that it is not a movie file, but my file is saved as a ".mov" file. Does anyone know how I can get the file to play again?

  • No 'Line input' option in sound prefs after upgrading from Tiger to Leopard

    I have connected guitars and mics using Garageband 3 without a problem, until upgrading from Tiger to Leopard 10.5.8.
    I'm not getting sound from the guitar apart from feedback when I plug it in to the audio line-in port on my iMac G5.
    I have read many of the questions and comments in the relevant forums all pointing to selecting the line-in option of the input tab in the sound preferences window.
    I only have the 'internal mic' appearing in that window now.
    I've checked that the cables are working correctly on a guitar amp and are fine.
    So not sure why I don't get the 'Line-in' option anymore.
    Are there any patches/updates to cure this problem, or would updating to Garageband 9 cure the problem?
    Thanks,
    Mick

    Yes, checked the 'Audio MIDI Setup' utility and can select Line-in from there.
    All working fine now!
    Thanks very much for your help.

  • Mail problems, slow browsing and Facebook problems after upgrading to Mountain Lion

    Hi !
    I have a 27” iMac from late 2009 which started acting really strange after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
    Before that everything works fine but now Mail does not work, will not send replies or add attachments and browsing has become so slow that it usually times out. Another strange problem is Facebook messages which does not work at all (cannot read nor send(.
    I have Lenovo laptop connected to the same network so I can benchmark and browsing works just fine on that aswell as FB messages.
    Anybody got a solution to this other than using the iMac for offline use only ?

    Hi !
    I booted both the modem and router but it did not help. Then I tried using the iMac on wireless and now it works so must be something in my D-Link router.
    Thanks for pointing me to the right direction !

  • Photoshop CS6 issue with shortcuts and my keyboard after upgrade from CS5

    I recently upgraded from CS5 Extended to CS6 Extended on my Mac (Mavericks), but installed it in English instead of German this time. I transferred most of my presets just fine, but none of the keyboard shortcuts were working. All I got was an unequal sign for all shortcuts and even manually changing them didn't get them to work. I found a few discussions about this issue and ended up adding a German keyboard, as I am always on the Romaji setting of my Kotoeri (Japanese) keyboard. That seemed to solve the issue, but only if I change to the German keyboard before opening Photoshop. Shortcuts don't work in CS5 anymore either unless I do. Sometimes the shortcuts also stop working a while after I change back to the Kotoeri keyboard.
    Now I would like to know if there is any way to get around this issue. Isn't there a way to get my shortcuts working again without constantly having to change keyboards? I much prefer the Kotoeri one since the icon for the German keyboard in my menu bar looks extremely obnoxious, in my opinion. It's mostly a cosmetic thing to me, but I would love to get everything back to the way it was before.
    I'd much appreciate any advice or help.

    I am having a similar problem. Just upgraded to Apple Yosemite and all none of my keyboard shortcuts are working in a clean install of Photoshop CS6. Every menu item has some form of the ≠ sign. I've trashed the .plist file, rebuilt permissions, etc. Even basic keyboard commands, like Command-N for NEW or Command-Q for QUIT do not work. In fact, many don't show up in the menu at all. I don't have this issue in InDesign CS6 or Illustrator CS6. Every once in awhile, maybe 1 time out of 20, menus and keyboard shortcuts work properly, but I can't find any pattern.

  • Missing accounts after upgrade from Tiger to Leopard

    I upgraded from 10.4.11 to 10.5.6 today and in Mail, all but one of my accounts and their associated inboxes are missing. I've installed the recent Mail fix file (10.5.6). All my stored old e-mails are there. I can't see any of my other e-mail addresses or any e-mails that are in them.
    I have a .mac account with 2 additional .mac mail addresses and also 3 POP accounts. In the Inbox, the only e-mail that shows up is that for my main .mac account. I've deleted the mail.plist file and re-imported the mailboxes and they still don't show up.
    Can anyone help?

  • A different way to deal with "unknown" user after upgrade from Tiger.

    It's a known issue that doing upgrade and install or archive and install from Tiger to Leopard, produces a lot of folders with "unknown" group in their "get info" panel. This has to do with a different group structure in Tiger and Leopard.
    In Tiger, every user has their own private group with the same name as the username. That group is set to be user's primary group.
    In leopard, every new user with an account is a member of the group staff (gid=20) which is not present in Tiger. Leopard doesn't fully understand Tiger's private group structure, hence the "unknown" group. This causes various problems such as Finder crashes when trying to change the permissions and ownership in the get info window.
    Apple's proposed way of dealing with this is described [here|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307128].
    However, this method doesn't change the existing group structure and doesn't resolve all the problems.
    I'd like to suggest a different way of dealing with it.
    1. create a new admin user (if you don't have one already), log out of your primary account and log into the new one.
    2. enter the following in terminal:
    *sudo dscl . delete /users/"username"*
    where username is the short name of the user on the main account (not the one you are currently logged into).
    This will delete that user.
    3. Log out/in.
    4. go to system preferences->accounts and create a new user with the name and short name exactly as the one you've deleted in step 2.
    You'll be get a popup saying that a home directory by this name already exists and asking if you want to use it. Say "Yes".
    That's it. Your main user will be recreated using the native group structure of Leopard with gid=20(staff). Permissions on your home directory will be reset with correct group and ownership.
    I tested the process on my powerbook after an upgrade and install from Tiger to leopard and it worked without a hitch.
    I like this method better than Apple's because it completely gets rid of Tiger's group structure which was creating all the confusion. The only downside as far as I can see is that you might have to manually change the group ownership on some files belonging to the main user that sit outside your home directory.
    I would appreciate any comments on this.

    hmm, I confess, I did this before installing 10.5.2 so i can't say for sure. However, I've dealt with a few people (see e.g. this [thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7012957]) who are running 10.5.2 and still have this issue. I don't know what if anything 10.5.2 did about this but I'm quite sure that it didn't change the group structure inherited from Tiger.

  • Problem in Mail 4.2 after upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard

    After the OS upgrade and software updates I realize that both my gmail and my hotmail accounts are not accessible from Mail 4.2. Furthermore, whenever I open Mail 4.2 there is not any windows pop up. And there is no option to add a mail account. This is driving me crazy in the last a couple of weeks.

    Not sure what you mean by no window pop ups. However, as for adding accounts, click on "Mail" in the menubar, select 'preferences...' click on 'accounts' on left side bottom corner click on the '+' sign to add account.

  • After upgrading from tiger to snow leopard i get you need to restart computer when i get done with something

    After upgrading my operating system, after being on different pages for sometime, i get a shaded that comes down and says i need to restart my computer then tells me to send in error report when it reboots....what do i do

    This is called a Kernel panic.
    See here for possible solutions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3742
    Did you do anything else apart from ungrading OS?
    Did you add memory?
    Bad or not well seated memory modules are often a cause of kernel panic

  • VPN Server broken with Windows after upgrade from Tiger.

    Hey there
    I use Tiger 10.4 Server on a PowerMac G4.
    It has two network interfaces, one public facing with it's own static IP, and the other internal facing.
    The VPN service works perfectly, and allows people to connect via L2TP and assignes them an IP on the internal facing subnet, and allows OS X and Windows clients to connect.
    However after upgrading to Leopard, only Mac clients can connect, all the Windows clients connect, and although they get an IP and are able to ping destinations, attempts to connect to these destinations (some of which are web apps on port 80, others are file servers running Samba), they just sit waiting for ever.
    I've experimented with this problem, and it appears to be a problem with MTU and packet fragmentation, however these settings appear to be the same between Tiger, which worked, and Leopard which does not work.
    Does anyone have any experience with the new VPN Server in Leopard, and can offer me any advice on how to fix this problem? I'm currently downgraded to Tiger again until a fix can be found.

    I had the same issue, among others, but I finally got everything to work eventually. It seems that if the IP range of the client connecting to VPN is in the same range of the server LAN, there will be connectivity issues, whether it be pcs and/or macs not being able to connect. The following set up got my VPN services working:
    1. Get DNS and Open Directory working properly. When I did an upgrade, the Server Admin updated my zone files with a curious extra space, which killed DNS. For example, I had the name server as ns.company.private., but in the files it would say ns. company.private everywhere! I've been reading about various bugs in upgrading DNS, so I think it's best just to start DNS from scratch. But if you are upgrading, the following thread expalins how to go about setting up DNS and Open Directory: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5957209&#5957209
    2. Once you have Open directory users and dns working properly, then set up VPN. Give a unique IP range to the internal network (192.168.7.1/24) that other networks will not emulate. If you use 192.168.1.1, you will likely run into issues. You can always test this method out by changing the IP range from a remote location and trying to get in this way instead of changing the server. Also, be aware that if you use Gateway Assistant within NAT, it will automatically give you a 192.168.1.1/24 range, at least that's been my experience, and this always killed VPN for me. I would set up NAT manually to avoid problems.
    3. Ensure that the DNS information under the Client Information tab is correct. For my server I have 192.168.9.1 as the nameserver, and company.private as the search domain. Then set up routing tables. Mine are 192.168.0.0:255.255.0.0 private and 0.0.0.0:0.0.0.0 public.
    Also, when you restart the server, stop and restart VPN services, as there is some talk about the Tiger bug still being around, where VPN services are messed up upon startup. This all worked for me and a couple others that had similar server set ups. Hopefully this will work for you.
