System Image Utility not seeing Source Images.

Ok, so I've got 10.6 server running on a New MacPro. It runs amazingly, and I love it.
Trying to create a NetInstall service to deploy a bunch of Macs. Everything I've read says that I'll need an image of the Install, or a mounted disk that I need to create an image of. I have tried both of these scenarios and I cant seem to get anything to show up in the Sources section of System Image Utility.
I created my custom image on an Intel MacBook Pro, and it boots without any problem. I restarted the MBPro in target disk mode, connected it to the MacPro, and created a "New Image From Disk...." in disk utility, and still it does not show up in System Image Utility.
A stock Mac OS X install DVD in the drive shows up in the sources section, without any issue, but I really need to be able to install a customized build of the image.
So, here's my questions:
1) Can I create and deploy a custom 10.5 image from 10.6 server / System Image Utility II?
2) If so, How, or what am I doing wrong?
Desperate for help!
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

I talked to Apple Support. It seems that 10.6 server can serve out 10.5< images, however each NetInstall image needs to be created with the corresponding version of System Image Utility. That is to say, if you want to create a 10.5 image to be deployed on SnowLeopard Server, you have to install 10.5.7 Server tools on a partition running 10.5, and create the image from there, then move the .nbi folder from that machine to the 10.6 server.
Trying it now, but it seems to be working already.
Thanks Apple Care guy!

When I have video clips on my timeline, they do not play in the monitor screen. I hear the sound track but can not see the image. To test if my new files are somehow the problem, I went back and used video files that I used successfully a year ago, and they no longer play in the monitor window. I hear the sound track, but do not see any video. Have I changed some setting that controls video playback in the monitor window?

Thanks for the follow up.
Missing in this equation were the version of Premiere Elements that you were using and the computer operating system on which it was running. But...
The deed is done. But.....Until now and after you went ahead and moved to version 12, we now learn what version of Premiere Elements you were using. We still do not know the computer operating system involved.
You just said Premiere Elements 10. Premiere Elements 10 is hit by a serious known display issue if the computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card. In this issue, the only remedy is to roll back the driver version to about May 2013. The description of the problem and how to do the roll back are described in one of the Announcements at the top of this forum. What video card/graphics card does your computer use?
On another front, Adobe will be releasing a new version of Premiere Elements any day now. No one but Adobe knows the feature set for the new version. That type of information is announced at the moment of release of the new version.
So the remedy to the problem that you presented in this thread could have been...
1. Rolling back the NVIDIA GeForce driver version to about May 2013 if possible (Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit, may not be possible)
2. Move to another version of Premiere Elements (which you did)
I offer the above for consideration so that you can review your decisions. We are pleased to learn that Premiere Elements 12/12.1 works for you.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions and ask for clarifications, but remember that the answers are in the details.

I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

Pre 2010 Macs not seeing netboot images hosted on 10.6.7 server

I'm having an interesting issue where any pre-2010 Mac will not see available images hosted on OS 10.6.7 Server. Anything later than mid-2010 has no issues and sees all of the available boot images when option booting. Does anyone have any insight as to why this might be happening. I'm still searching but not having any luck.

Just a shot in the dark but is it possible you have enabled some kind of filtering under Netboot/Settings/Filters? My box to enable is unchecked.
Thanks

Disk Image could not be opened: image not recognized

So I downloaded the free student versions of both Maya and Maya LT from the autodesk website. It took a little while to download the .dmgs, but once I got them, I couldn't run them. Every time I double click them the disk image mounter tells me "Disk Image could not be opened: Image not recognized." Why? What am I doing wrong? I could have sworn I downloaded the mac version of each program, could that have something to do with it?

benchristianson,
perhaps both of your downloaded disk images were only partially downloaded?

System Image Utility not working on Intel Macs?

I have a client who has the following problem:-
We are still not able to create a Net Install image of a full system setup.
Master Clone Mac - Intel iMac 17", 10.4.10, 40Gb partition 17Gb Used.
System Image Utility v10.4.10 on Another Intel iMac, 10.4.10, over 100 Gb storage for image
I get loads of errors and the final image is less than 2Gb when created.
Have just managed to create a 10.4.4 image (system only). But this is far from what we need it to do. Any ideas?

There is an inherent issue with creating images from 10.4.9 or later... see <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=929625&tstart=0>.
But it sounds as if your client has bigger problems. More information about the errors reported will be needed to offer any real help.

Disk Utility: Restore Failure-Source image needs to be scanned for restore.

Hello guys,
I have a .dmg (source image) that I have created from a DVD by myself (read-only format).
I am trying to restore it to a destination and a Restore Failure notification pops-up as follow:
"Restore Failure
Could not find any scan information. The source image needs to be imagescanned/scanned for restore"
I am quite new to Mac. Half of the time, I don't really know what I am doing - but just relying on the 'Help Menu', some research for guides on the internet and most of all read-on most of the posting here in the Apple Forum for what I want to do or might have encountered. Lastly to hopefully also speak the Mac language. For example - What's a disk image? What a .dmg? What's a source image? and etc. ~Lost~
So for this case, I am totally lost as I can't seems to understand what does the Restore Failure notification mean at all as I quote above. What does it mean by the Source image needs to be imagescanned/scanned for restore? What do I do from there? How do I scanned my source image? Is there a steps that I miss out while creating .dmg from the DVD?
Could not find any scan information? What scan information? Where do I go to asked for scan information?
I am so lost that I don't even know the right question to ask or begin with.
I know what I want to do and believe it can be done with Mac. But I just doesn't seems to understand the concept of how it really works yet but to just follow blindly throughout the guides.
So please help me if possible.
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards,
Jon Gan

Hi,
If you open Disk Utility, select the Image in the disk util sidebar, and click on Images > Scan for restore... in the menu bar, it will take care of it for you. After that you can perform a restore as you were trying to do.
They do this so that disk util can verify your data after the restore to make sure it copied exactly.

[SOLVED] 2010.05 images do not ´see´ my CDROM after initial boot.

Hi, all.
I was pleased to see the new release images of 2010.05 appearing. I thought i´d try a fresh install, but on my 800mhz machine, the installer could not see the IDE CDROM on the second part of the booting process. I get the Arch menu and then when the installer looks for the CDROM to install Arch, it waits for 30 seconds and then can´t find it. Obviously the CD is readable because it booted initially. I´m guessing that whichever modules are loaded for this bit of the install, it hasn´t loaded the one I need. I can confirm that the latest cut of Debian Squeeze does not have this problem.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Chris.

There are a few IDE controllers that are not supported properly yet by the new Linux libata subsystem. In old images, we offered an option to use the old "ide" subsystem instead of libata, support for that has been removed.
However, I doubt that you have one of the very few controllers that still don't work with libata. There is no way to tell unless you provide more details about your hardware - specifically, the mainboard chipset and/or ide controller.
A stupid, yet possible workaround: Write the image to USB too. Boot from the CD and have the USB inserted at the same time. It will start booting from the CD, but mount the file system from the USB afterwards and keep running from there.

Lightroom CC Import sees CF Card in reader but does not see any images, cannot import anything

I have installed Lightroom CC. It seems to work but if I connect a card reader with a CF card, while Lightroom sees the card, it sees no images. I have to copy the files to a hard disk and import from there. How do I fix this annoying problem?

Hi drchevalier,
You mean, you are able to import those files, if moved to hard drive but not able to view them when importing directly from the CF Card? Please attach a screenshot.
If so, might be an issue with the card. Did you try reformatting the card in the camera itself and check? If not, might want to try that.
Also, make sure your camera is in the Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras list. Else, you might not see it in Lr.

EDIT: Sorry, did not see your reply. Glad to hear that the issue got resolved.

Why does Image Capture not see my scanners?

I have two multi-function printers - a Canon MF4350d and a HP Officejet J4550 - both connected to my iMac and both printing properly. But when
I open Image Capture it does not see either device. How do I get my scanners functional?

Check this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5540452?start=0&tstart=0
It would seem there are updated drivers for (some) HP scanners. Doesn't appear to be the case for Canon.

Desktop can not see all images in aperture project

When trying to change the background picture desktop lists my aperture projects but only displays a subset (5 of 114) of the images in one project. Also have 2 of 8, 152 of 152, and 0 of 12 in different projects.

It's possible you don't have Previews for the "missing" images (Aperture shares the Preview, not the full image).
What happens if you update every image in the Project's Preview?
To update all the JPEG previews in a project
In the Library inspector, Control-click the project whose JPEG previews you want to update, then choose Update Previews from the shortcut menu.
