Stripping Leopard installer of intel binaries - can it be done?

Hello,
Got PB G4 1.67 and Quad G5.. My question is if it is possible to use xslimmer or some other utility to completely strip the installer dvd of all INTEL binaries and just make it a pure PowerPC dvd installer? Someone told me that it can be done, but its tedious.

No. The DVD is read-only. Just use XSlimmer or similar utility. Faster and easier.

    How much is it to upgrade form Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and can it be done in one hit?

    Run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    You should now see the App Store icon, and you now need to set up your account:

    To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:

    You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

  • Can I use my Macbook Leopard Installation DVD's on my iMac?

    Ok so I bought a new macbook yesterday and it has leopard. Can I use the leopard installation dvd's that it came with on my intel imac? Is this possible, or will the leopard installation dvd's not allow this?
    Cheers!

    The disks that come with the computer are only usable on that computer. The 10.5 upgrade disk may work on other machines but doing so would be in violation of the license which is for one computer. If you want to install on multiple machines you can get a five user "Family Pack" for $199

  • How can I create a disk image of snow leopard installer disk from my Imac which runs it?

    how can I create a disk image of snow leopard installer disk from my Imac which runs it? It came without DVD installer, and I want to make a copy of it's OS installer but can't find out how.

    You need to have the disc in order to create disk image of snow leopard installer disc. What did your machine ship with? If something later than SL, then why? If earlier, then you can buy the SL installer disc and make the disk image.

  • After installing Leopard, my G4 will no longer boot in OS 9.22. (Classic still works, but I need it to boot in OS 9.)  Any clues about what the Leopard installer might have done to my machine that rendered OS 9 boot unusable? What can I do to fix it?

    After installing Leopard, my G4 will no longer boot in OS 9.22.
    (Classic still works, but I need it to boot in OS 9.)
    Any clues about what the Leopard installer might have done to my machine that rendered OS 9 boot unusable? (And what can I do to fix it?)
    Details:
    G4 Gigabit Ethernet
    Boot ROM version: 4.2.8fl
    Accelerator card added: 1.6 MHz
    1.5 Gig Ram
    I have erased the partition that had Leopard installed on it.
    I zapped the pram.
    In Open Firmware, I "reset-nvram", and then "reset-all"
    I tried to reinstall G4 FW Update 4.2.8, but that must be done when booted from OS 9, and of course, that's the problem: it won't boot into 9.
    I tried restarting from 9.2.1 DVD.
    I tried restarting from an external firewire drive containing OS 9.2.2.
    I tried moving a fresh OS 9.2.2 system folder into an empty partition on an internal hard drive. (Partition was created WITH OS 9 drivers installed.)
    All attempts to boot into OS 9 give me the same results - grey screen - no spinning beach ball, no icons or logos - just a blank grey screen.
    This machine still works fine in OS 10.3 and 10.4, and it worked fine for many years booting into OS 9, until I installed Leopard, and I haven't been able to boot into OS 9 since then, although I have done considerable research online and tried many things.
    I have since learned that this machine does not support Leopard - 10.5. Fine, but how did it break 9.2.2?
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for checking in, BDAQua.
    Problem solved.
    In the docs that came with my Powerlogix accelerator card, I found this sentence buried:
    "If you reset the PRAM, the NVRAM code for OS9 compatibility is cleared, so you will have to boot from the Firmawre Update CD and perform this process again in order to boot in OS9."
    The "process" it's referring to is the process of setting up the NVRAM for booting into OS9 from the CD.
    Fortunately, I was able to find the disk, and it worked as expected. I can now, once again boot into OS9.
    Conclusion: My (unadvised) attempt to load Leopard on this old machine apparently reset the PRAM on the accelerator card and cleared the NVRAM code for OS9 boot. Although I did attempt to reset the NVRAM via Open Firmware, it did not reset it on the accelerator card.
    So, thank you BDAQua, for your "Ah yes" . . . that's all I needed to steer me in the right direction.
    Gratefully,

  • I have lost my installation disk for my mac book pro running Snow Leopard 10.6." Where can I replace it?"

    I have lost my installation disk for my mac book pro running Snow Leopard 10.6." Where can I replace it?"

    You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.

  • I have an old powerPC G4. dual 867 512 MB. my optical drive is having trouble reading my leopard installer.  I was going to try to use remote install but i don't have a network where I can connect both the mac and the windows laptop.  any suggestions?

    I'm just trying to revive my old PowerPC G4/ dual 867MHz 512MB.  Unfortunately I am unable to install from disc since my optical drive, although still working, is somehow not able to read the leopard installer.  I wanted to try the remote install option but have limited resources and don't have a network where I can have both the Mac desktop and windows laptop communicate.  I read somewhere that I can use a crossover cable to connect the two directly.  I'm still trying to see if I can get an external DVD-ROM as another option.  Any suggestions?

    Your Mac doesn't need a crossover cable, it auto-switches...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2274
    But I have no idea how that will help you install from a Windows computer.
    If you get an external DVD drive it needs to be Firewire & Mac bootable.

  • Have an Intel 2.4 Core 2 Duo Imac, just updated to Snow Leopard 10.6.3. Can it handle 10.6.8? Can it handle anything later than that?

    Have an Intel 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Imac, just updated to Snow Leopard 10.6.3. Can it be updated to Snow Leopard 10.6.8?

    If you have 10.6.3 installed then you meet the requirements for 10.6.8. It is a free update via Software Update.
    Seeing that you have a Mid-2007 iMac, if your computer has at least 2 GB of RAM (4 GB recommended) you can install Mountain Lion.

  • Can't see external drive after Leopard installation

    Hi there, i hope i'm i the right place! I have just installed Leopard on my Intel iMac 1.83ghz, 2gb ram, 160gb HD and it no longer sees my external Maxtor One Tough 3 HD. Disk utility says it doesn't recognise it. I have checked the Seagate site for a Leopard update for Intel Macs but nothing yet.
    Any ideas anybody?
    Cheers

    Apparently turning off the password security on the drive from a 10.4 machine has fixed it for at least some people w/this symptom.

  • Intel iMac's HD not recognized by Leopard Installer

    I am trying to install Leopard on an Intel iMac dual core 1.8 MHz, 2 GB RAM. It seems to be running Tiger 10.4.11 just fine. I have successfully updated both a MacPro and MacBook Pro with the same DVD disc. When I start the install process, I get as far as the screen to select my iMac's internal HD and it never appears. If open Leopard's Disk Utility, it sees the HD icon, but not the volume. When I reboot from the Tiger install, the Disk Utility sees it verifies the HD and all permissions are fine.
    There's plenty of space left on the HD (90+ GB) out of 240 GB. I am stumped. Suggestions welcome.

    Hi! See if THIS helps. Tom

  • OS X 10.5 Leopard - Installation error message "No software to install"

    Hello,
    I am trying to upgrade my Intel iMac (Early 2006) from OS X 10.4.11 to Leopard OS X 10.5.
    I insert the Leopard DVD and installation begins after restarting. The DVD consistency check runs fine but as soon as installation commences a yellow exclamation mark appears on the screen and informs me that installation could not complete as there is "no software to install".
    - I have checked the DVD for scratches: No scratches.
    - I have changed the RAM: Error messages occur regardless of the RAM configuration. (I have 2 x 1Gb RAM memory sticks installed, from Kingston memory). I went back to the original iMac RAM installed (2 x 512Mb RAM sticks) and the same error message appears.
    I restart the iMac using the Startup disk and return to OS X 10.4.11.
    Any hints on how to get the Leopard installation to work?
    Thanks,
    Ben

    Success!
    I moved 21Gb of stored files from the hard drive I was trying to install Leopard on. Went from 29Gb of free space to 50Gb.
    For some reason the OS X 10.5 Leopard installation process liked this and Leopard installed.
    I thought only 9Gb of free space was required to install Leopard?
    Anyway, it worked.
    Excellent. I will be sure to bookmark this thread. One never knows when it may come in handy.
    The answer to your question is a little complicated and has been answered (approximately) elsewhere. Hopefully someone can point you at it.

  • Snow Leopard for Early Intel iMac 2006 - Worth it?

    I was curious....
    I wonder if anyone could tell me if going to Snow Leopard from Tiger on a mid 2006 Intel iMac would be worth the money and trouble. The upgrades on some of my apps are tempting, but would there be a significant difference in performance?
    I know my Mac, with its Intel Core Duo, is 32 bit. Does Snow Leopard really boost speed and performance on a a 32 bit chip, as opposed to 64?

    "I with the (mad) hatter. I prefer be as sure as I can that I don't bring any existing problems forward to a new system--especially Sno (i.e., Sno seems to generate some exceptionally hard problems to solve)."
    Hi Ghost:
    That's what good backups (clones) are for. Also if you are unsure of your 10.5 integrity, an archive
    and install will fix any problem before upgrading to Snowie. That may seam like overkill, and in some cases it may very well be. It just depends on how complex your 10.5 install is. Mine
    consisted of over 200 apps. I use my machine for web development. It just isn't practical to do
    a clean install. Spending two weeks or more (off and on) getting everything back somewhere close
    to working order is just not acceptable at all. Migration assistant leaves a lot to be desired too
    when you try to migrate a installation such as mine. It will break registration on just about every
    piece of software in sight.
    If you use your computer just to surf the 'net, chit chat, email and play songs and movies, then by
    all means do a "clean install" and migrate or reinstall the rest.

  • Leopard installation freezes

    My girlfriend bought this weekend an used Macbook (the black one) that comes with Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1g RAM, 120HD, and originaly came with Tiger.
    She bought it with leopard installed, and the seller give her the Leopard installation disk too, and I suggest her to instal Leopard again to start from zero with the Mac.
    I started the intallation again and when it was almos finished it frezzes.
    I tried again this morning and when it was arroun 40% complete, it shows a messages telling that an error ocurred during proces, because there was some foles that can not install, (volume/Macintosh HD).
    what can i do...?

    Your machine should be able to use that disc, let me think of another reason why that won't work.
    P.S. in the first 15 minutes after you post, you can click on above your post to edit your post, usually. With the high traffic due to the keynote happening this afternoon, it is possible you didn't have the opportunity to do this, and hence your double post makes sense.
