Thank You All!  An Optional install question...?

Thanks everyone for your advise before I upgraded my daughters macBook from Tiger to Snow Leopard. The install was flawless after a nervous start. For over an hour and two trys the computer could not read the install disk...but a quick call to Apple and some keyboard commands it finally recognized the DVD and took off, her HD even picked up about 5 gigs! At the start of the install is the folder for optional/extra install stuff...What are they? Thanks, Bill

I can't remember exactly what is in the Optional Installs, but double-clicking will present you with a list of items to check or uncheck. I seem to remember Rosetta, Quicktime 7, languages, printers.
From [MacInTouch's Snow Leopard FAQ|http://www.macintouch.com/specialreports/snowleopard/slfaq.html]:
…including Rosetta, QuickTime 7, extra language translations, the full package of printer drivers, and iPod support. It also enables you to reinstall individual programs that are part of the system installation, including Mail, Safari, iTunes, iCal, and others.

  • Thank you all for the responses. By process of elimination, I think the problem is the connection to the express in between the extreme and dock. I bought another express and tried it at dock, no luck, I then replaced new express where the one is between

    I have an airport extreme and express setup. My extreme is in my 2nd floor office with windows facing the water. My dock is about 250 ft away down a very steep hill. I have the express about 100 ft down the hill in an electrical waterproof box attached to a tree as high as I could install. The signal is weak and I'm thinking I might have to buy another express. Any thoughts on the best setup for me. I ultimately want to control speakers(hard wired in) down at the dock with my iphone. I have a receiver coming with airplay built in.
    Thank you all for the responses. By process of elimination, I think the problem is the connection to the express in between the extreme and dock. I bought another express and tried it at dock, no luck, I then replaced new express where the one is between extreme and dock, no better. I unplugged the express between extreme and dock and there was no difference. So I believe I am connecting to the airport express or extreme that is inside the house. Again because when i approach express that is halfway I reconnect. so if you can understand my chaos, I believe the express in between is not really connecting to the extreme inside my house. Yes, No? So I need to know how to know if the express half way down the hill is getting the connection from the the extreme in the house. This is wearing me out!!!!!

    You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
    You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
    As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
    An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it.

  • How can i put our app in the app store? we dont know nothing about that, thank you all

  • Thank you all, and goodbye for now

    Well, one of my prayers was answered. My friend literally gave me his old iMac. It's the semi-spherical one with the "lampshade" flatscreen monitor. I feel like I've entered a new dimension. 800 MHz, 60 GB Hard Drive, 1 GB SDRAM, and Tiger. I can actually run two apps. at once
    Thank you all for your help. I mean it. I'll now be next door in the Tiger cage.
    Allan

    Time does move on........
    You will like Tiger, I have it on the 17" (am still learning all it can do, the wife and grandkids use it more then I do). This Panther and I are like two peas in a pod, we seem to know what the other will do before they do... a good OSX for what I do on the 15". Tiger still surprises me with what it can do (as did Panther at first), but I'm sure we will get to know each other with enough interaction. As you will too with Tiger... so, ENJOY yourself and have FUN!

  • Suddenly: "F12" opens Dashboard, NO vol control, but low background noice; multiple instances of items in dropdown menus; "frames" appearing all over the place.  Corrupt OS, HD failing, or virus??? 10.5.8 OS MacBook.  Thank you, all!!!

    a couple of weeks ago, suddenly:
    "F12" now opens Dashboard, NO vol control, but low background noice sounds like a radio broadcast yet it's hardly audible; F10, F11, F12 not responding as Volume control keys;
    multiple instances of items in dropdown menus in Safari and Mail;
    black "frames" appearing all over the place in Safari and Mail.
    corrupt OS, HD failing, or virus???
    10.5.8 OS MacBook. 
    Thank you, all!!!

    black frames showing up on the desktop, too; like when Mail minimizes to the Dock, a black frame shows up outlining where Mail was on the desktop ...
    has anyone ever seen anything like this ... ever ???
    Thank you, all.

  • My entries for serial number, apple id, and passwords are rejected.  I need serious help.  Thank you all.

    On my IMac using Yosemite 10, I cannot find any of my passwords.  When I enter information that is mine, I see it's not valid.  Cannot seem to get help anywhere.  I don't know my keychain password so cannot find my lost passwords.  Any help you all can give me will be so very appreciated.  I am a little old 80 year old Apple user who is out of her depth trying to fix the problems.  Thank you all and hurry.

    Cannot seem to get help anywhere.
    Where did you seek help from?  If your iMac is still under warranty and/or you have AppleCare, you can call Apple tech support.  Since you have an iMac, a tech will come to your home to troubleshoot if it cannot be done over the phone.
    I don't know my keychain password so cannot find my lost passwords.
    Finder>Go>Utilities>Keychain Access.app.  You do not need a password.
    Anybody else has access to your comp?

    Serial#s you will need to set up new ones.

  • Need Help A.S.A.P. - Thank you all

    Hi everyone, I'm back with yet another question and sorry if I'm not too clear but I'll do my best. I had a videographer shot a 2 minute clip with the Canon XH A1. I've asked how he shot and he stated that he did not change any of the default settings. First question is does anyone know the default settings for the Canon A1? I've imported it as a 1080i60 with a frame rate of 29.97. Not sure if thats right but I gave it a shot. Second thing, he wants me to export him an anamorphic dv with a 720x480 and a 16x9 widescreen. He also mentioned something about if I can make it an apple dv (not sure what that means).
    Can anyone help me out with this situation? How can I export using final cut studio 2 and compressor. Do I have to change the sequence options in my final cut studio 2 before I export? I have changed some of the sequence options as I need to so I can deal with HD footage so if you need to know more specifics, I can give you all the details to the best of my ability.
    Thank you and God bless
    Jason

    The "default settings" typically means the settings that were last used for that camcorder. Basically, it means that it could be anything. If you have access to the camera, turn it on and go through the menus to see what those settings were/are. Once you've found out how it was shot, you'll know how to capture. If you don't have access to the camera, chastise the camera operator severely until he blushes with embarrassment for being such a schmuck. Then tell him to provide you with the information that he should have supplied in the first place. Lastly, never, ever use that camera operator again.

    1) are you sure a reset holding the reset button will not delete my data?
    Absolutely sure.. There is no connection at all.. reset is only the router side of the TC.
    For the hard disk to be erased you need to access the airport utility disk page.. request erase and confirm the operation.
    2) I can access to time capsule by ethernet but I am not able to input the corret setting by myself
    Thank you again
    I am uncertain why if you have access you cannot change settings.. but that is why you reset things so any of those problems should be fixed.
    Here is the Apple info on reset.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3728
    And here is the quote from the horse's mouth so to speak.
    Factory default reset: Perform this reset if you wish to repurpose the AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule and want to remove all personal profiles and settings first. This reset resets the device to its state when you first purchased it. Data stored on internal or external hard drives connected to the device will not be erased. If you choose, you may manually erase the hard drive using AirPort Utility.

  • I NEED HELP TO KNOW HOW CAN I EJECT A CD FROM CD DRIVER ON MINI MAC  OX10.5.8 BECAUSE IT SEEMS BLOCKED THERE AND BY FINDR COULD'NT BE EJECTED; THANK YOU ALL

  • Thank you All, I wish you the best.

    Just wanted to say thank you to all the good folks in this forum that have helped me and I wish you all the very best. It has been my pleasure to participate and exchange ideas, wish it could go on, but I don't believe it will. I am at a point in my life where freedom of expression is too precious for me to give up, I have always strived to be fair, concise and above all behave like a gentleman. I never written anything that I was ashamed of, did my best to be civil and never offend while expressing my opinion.
    Unfortunately I do not conform to the guidelines, so again my friends best wishes to all, maybe one day we will have the phone that works and a company that cares about their customers.
    Take care.

    yes, this was the problem, thank you very much, I now can show the presentation to my client.

It took a new modem and new RAM but it works great! I thought maybe my borad was a lemon but everything is working great and blazing fast! Thank you guys so much!

    Hello everyone, I am an electrical engineer, I am working on voice control of electric instuments, I like to use siri alication of "Apple", who can help me, thank you all

    If you mean that you want to license and obtain the programming code to Siri from Apple so that you can use it in your own devices, that will almost certainly not be possible. Apple almost never licenses their exclusive technologies to others. You can try writing their corporate office:
    http://www.apple.com/contact/
    and inquiring, but I would wager that you will not even receive a reply, much less have Apple be interested in licensing the Siri technology to you. You may have better luck talking to Nuance about their voice recognition technology:
    http://www.nuance.com/for-partners/index.htm
    If that's not what you mean, please post back and clarify.
