The Whine Is back After Leopard Install

I cant believe what I am hearing ! The mosquito-like whine is back after installing Leopard on my MBP 17.
Anyone else getting this ?

Yeah, i think some of you are right. Leopard does run cooler as compared to Tiger.
But i just can't imagine, why does Apple re-create a problem that they have already solved in Tiger!?
I'm getting tired of the tiny mosquito noise. Does anyone know whether can i bring my Macbook to Apple for a fix (or exchange..) ?

Fan problem after Leopard install

PowerMac Dual G5 - after Leopard install, fan between hard drive and optical drive revved up like the computer was going to blast off, faster and faster until I powered down by holding down the power button. Leopard seems to be working fine, but with the fan continuing to go at high speed at all times. I've tried reboot, reinstall, pull plug for a few minutes, remove CMOS battery, and zap PRAM, all to no avail. I haven't put the panel cover back on yet, and that may work, but I won't have time to mess with it for a few days and hope for some insight before I try that.Ideas?

Problem went away. Must have been a ghost in the machine.

After Leopard install I have 2 volumes of equal size

After Leopard install I have 2 volumes of equal size. One has Leopard and the other has Tiger. How can I delete, remove, or get rid of the volume with Tiger on it? As I have upgraded to Leopard how can tell which one I have, i.e., 10.5 or 10.5.X?
Thanks for your help.

For some reason the Leopard installer kept your old Tiger partition instead of deleting it. It's probably your fault, but that doesn't matter...
Before you do this, back up any data you still want from the Tiger partition. Also rename it to something that will differentiate it from your other volume(s?). Also back up your Leopard partition before any of this.
Take your Leopard install disk, pop it in, reboot while holding C (or just click Install Leopard), choose a language, then from the menubar click Utilities, then Disk Utility. Once there, click your hard drive (not your Leopard or Tiger volumes) in the sidebar, go to the Partition tab on the right, click your Tiger volume's square (NOT YOUR LEOPARD VOLUME!!!), click the minus sign under that little graph, and click Partition. Then once that's done, drag the little resize line thingy on the bottom-left of your Leopard volume's square so that it fills up the entire area there.
If you can't make the Leopard volume take up the entire drive, you'll have to wipe the entire hard drive and restore from a backup. Yes, you will have to unless you're okay with having less space then you can. (Why can't GParted resize HFS+?!?! WHY?!!?!?!!??!)

Kodak 5500 - cannot print after Leopard install

Just want to throw this printer into the list of printers that do not work after Leopard install. I get a raster stream error. I have reinstalled Kodak software; deleted and readded printer, etc, etc,. Still now printing. Scanning works fine though!

Much to my surprise, I received a reply from Kodak a mere few hours after emailing them on Sunday morning. They advised me that a new version of their all-in-one printer software (1.2.0 Release 3) for Leopard will be available on the web on Monday, October 29th.

HP LaserJet 1000 problem after Leopard install

Anyone else have a problem printing after the Leopard install?
My printer and driver was recognized but I can't print. When I watch the print queue it say there are errors and fails.
Since HP never made a driver for this printer, I was using a Zenographics driver that worked great. That is, until I upgraded.
I unplugged the USB and power cords, and removed the printer from System Preferences. After plugging everything back in and adding the printer again, the printer seemed like it wanted to print, but still didn't work.
Please help.

Thank you for your answers. I was hoping someone would reply.
HP LJ 1000 is a great printer and I figured a few people had to have one. It is unfortunate as this printer hardly ever needed the toner changed, and I used it as my main printer. I swear I only changed toner four times in the last five years!
I looked everywhere for a driver and found nothing. HP said they had no updated driver for the Mac (as they told me a year ago, too) and they were not going to create one.
My final solution was to give up my printer to a good neighbor for $50 for her pc.
I researched printers from the Apple store and decided to go with the very Mac friendly HP Laserjet 1022:
http://store.apple.com/AppleStore/WebObjects/EducationIndividualCustom.woa/94340 03/wa/PSLID?mco=CC919B84&fnode=home/shopmac/macaccessories/printers&nplm=TC976LL/A&wosid=gG2dihO9R0Mg29v6f901bEeWNf2
Hopefully it will be a good printer. After returning the new toner I bought for the LJ1000, I thought Staples would have it in stock. However, after trying three different stores, it seems the best way to get a Mac-friendly printer is to go online.
I hope I helped you out as well.
Again, thank you.

Lost iSight - Ethernet - Bluetooth after Leopard install

Hi,
I installed Leopard - erase and install, in an iMac 1.83, 17 early 2006. After installation seemingly no problems with the installation iSight no longer works, built in ethernet doesn't seem to work and Bluetooth is flaky, sometime bluetooth works sometimes not.
With iSight, try to use Photo Booth and I get a black window with a picture of a camera with a slash through the camera.
With Ethernet using DHCP is self assigned an 169 ... number, so I set it to manuel and assigned a IP to it. But then Airport stopped working and lights on router don't light for the ethernet cable, and yes set to no conflicting IP.
I restarted a few times, installed all the software updates, re-installed Leopard all to no avail.
iMac Passed All ASD test.
Worked fine with Tiger
I'm at a lost so Any ideas welcomed.
TIA, Bill...

Welcome to Apple Discussions, hytan
hytan is giving you good help on resetting the hardware.
About as close as you can come to an iSight "driver" is the "QuickTimeUSBVDCDigitizer.component" file. That file should be in your GF's Mac's Hard Disk / System / Library / QuickTime folder. Look manually because Spotlight will not find this file. If the file is there, reinstallation is not needed.
If it is NOT there, you will need to restore the file to its correct location in order for your built-in iSight (or any other USB camera) to work.
To "reinstall" the file, drag a copy of the file into the correct folder location and restart your Mac. That is all there is to it.
You can use a copy of the QuickTimeUSBVDCDigitizer.component file from another Leopard Mac or from your Time Machine or other backup.
If you do not have a backup or other Mac, make a backup ASAP and use Pacifist to extract QuickTimeUSBVDCDigitizer.component from your Leopard Install disk. Instructions for Pacifist are here.
(I have seen a web page that offers a download of the QuickTimeUSBVDCDigitizer.component file, but it is labeled for Mac OS 10.4.10. I am always suspicious of non-Apple sources for System files on my Mac. Moreover, even if this file is as advertised, I do not know whether the download is a safe substitute for you. Therefore, I suggest the Pacifist alternative.)
If the file is where it should be but your built-in iSight is still not working, you will need to consider the hardware possibilities. If reset won't bring it back, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

Absolutely nothing will mount after leopard install

hey everyone. ive seen that this has been brought up a few times but i dont think ive read an answer to solve the problem.
when i installed leopard on dec.28 nothing since then will mount. no digital camera, no hard drive, no ipod, etc. nothing will mount. i have no idea what to do and would love some idea, so if anyone does have a solution, i would love it. thank you.

I've installed Leopard over 50 times on the same Mac Pro. Each install repeated the same way except one. Re-start got me to the purple screen and nothing would mount. I re-started after a while and everything was back to normal. I had to disconnect the firewire drive I used to make all my Leopard installs. It was a firewire drive which I had low confidence in and was testing it out to see if problems occurred which did.
Was your install similar. A device external attached?

PPC G5 system hangs after Leopard Install

Well I had been monitoring things with the new OSx for awhile before installing. I had upgraded my Macbook Pro (Intel first Gen model) and my newer Intel MacMini with no issues. So after using both of these machines for quite awhile, and with the release of 10.5.2, I decided to upgrade my PPC G5 from Tiger to Leopard.
Everything seemed to go fine. I installed all possible updates and have used several apps with no problems, such as Adobe PS and Dreamweaver, etc. But now I am starting to notice a serious problem.
Every time my system either goes into Screensaver mode or sleep, when I try and bring it back it is frozen. All I get is the beachball and the only thing to do is a hard shut down with the power button. My system never did anything like this under Tiger.
Has anyone experienced a system hang like this?

Do you have any external drives (especially Maxtor or Maxtor OneTouch Drives)?
I know on Tiger I had this same problem and it turned out that there was a problem between the Mac's Firewire drivers and Maxtor OneTouch drives. Maxtor had a patch that fixed the problem on Tiger, but I'm not sure if the patch is needed also for Leopard. Not sure if Maxtor drive support is continuing since Seagate bought them.
I'm currently having a problem on Leopard with hangs (not specifically the same as yours). I'm wondering if it is again a problem with compatibility between Leopard and the Maxtor drives.

Battery is dead after Leopard Install? Dies in 5 minutes...

I updated to Leopard yesterday and everything is great- except- when I first got this laptop it didn't have the infamous battery update installed. The battery health was something like 20% or less, and it lasted maybe 20 minutes if I dimmed the screen. If I didn't dim the screen the computer would just turn off after 10 or so minutes- even though I would never get a low battery warning. And the computer would say 75% in the menu bar- but after it shut off the battery would blink the last light (0%). And when I plugged it back in and turned it on, the battery would be completely dead (0%) in the menu bar. Then after about 10-15 minutes on the charger the computer would return to 99% or 100% charged. So I did the update finally- and battery health increased to like 95% or something. Then it would last a good 2 hours or so with dimmed screen etc. When I upgraded, now the battery health is 10%, and the computer lasts only a few minutes on battery life...maybe 5? then it shuts off. When it does the first shut off if you press the button on the battery it will show almost full (all but the last light on) but if you try to start the computer again it will make it to the grey apple screen then turn off again- press the battery button again and it blinks the lowest light (0%). This is really frustrating to me- the laptop dies if I carry it from one end of the house to the other....
Any ideas?

Same here too!

Hard Drives locked after Leopard Install

Since this only happened after I installed Leopard, I figured here would be a good place. My apologies if it is not.
The root ( /Volumes/Entreri/ and /Volumes/Akira ) are now read only. All folders and files within them have correct permissions.
History: For a long time now, I've promised myself that one day, I was going to wipe my main drive, Ishii, and do OSX RIGHT. Ever since I had initial permissions problems since I upgraded my systems from OS9 to OSX, I ran my system (a Dual 1 Ghz Quicksilver G4) as root. Cringe away. I was young, and my attitude was that my dang computer was not going to tell me what I could, and could not delete (and trust me, after the initial switch and for years beyond, OSX still gave me plenty of those problems).
But I grew older and knew it was time to just run as an admin user, and not root. When Leopard was released, I figured it would be time to wipe my system HD (Ishii) totally clean, install OSX 10.5 and run as a normal user "sean."
Install goes fine. The finder pops up and I start to make what I assume are my first mistakes of my new life as an admin user. I get info on Entreri and Akira, and see their permissions are set to rwrwr-. **** no I say. The Everyone group (for some reason...) needs to have write access!! I change the permissions to rwrwrw and "apply to all enclosed items." It works! "Awesome," I thought, "all my permissions problems have been fixed!" I do that to both my Aux drives.
Then I get info on the system drive, Ryoko, and see the same thing... and I change it, and I hit apply to all enclosed items. About 30 seconds after a little voice in my head nags: "Why would you need to do that? The drive was wiped fresh- every file in there has the permissions OSX set for it.."
But it was in process- and I've learned not to interrupt OSX doing file changes.
As I'm sure you can guess, OSX starts behaving strangely after that. I restart off the Leopard disk, and use the disk utility to Repair Disk Permissions. Due to the number of files I idiotically changed, that takes 4 hours.
Now OSX runs fine.. but my Aux drives, Entreri and Akira, have their root directories locked.
•Getting info on the hard drive makes it look like everything's fine.
•Changing the permissions from rwrwrw to rwrwrw just to try and do something doesn't do anything.
•Applying to enclosed items run, but the root directory is still locked.
•Ignoring ownership on the volume doesn't change the locked root folder.
•FileXaminer can't seem to do anything either.
•Attempting to change the permissions in the terminal results in a Operation not permitted error.
•Permissions as reported from terminal: drwxrwxrwx@ 25 root admin 918 Dec 8 14:15 Entreri
•I ran as root, to see if I could fix the problem, but it's the same thing all over.
•When booting from leopard and running disk utility, the hard drive's are still appearing as locked- nothing is wrong with the drives. I was thinking about reinstalling, but if the installer disk sees the drives as locked, I doubted that would make an issue.
Entreri: 500 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.9
Akira: 80 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.6 (4 years old or so)
Ryoko: 80 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.6
Any help would be appreciated. I fully know I screwed up.

Same here, I have 3 extra internal drives and they now show a lock graphic on the desktop icons. If I try and write any files to the drives I get a prompt stating the drive cannot be modified. I'm given an option to Authenticate with my password, but I then get a message that says I don't have sufficient access privileges. I just updated through Software Update but didn't pay attention to what was being patched. I'm guessing a security update screwed this up. I really need my drives because I use them for media production and I have a serious deadline...come on Apple, test things out before sending updates!

Canon MP 600 Printer not working after Leopard Install

I installed the Leopard OS and now my Canon MP 600 printer that purchased at the MAC store with my Mac in Aug of this year. It was working properly prior to the Leopard install. I tried re-installing the printer drivers, but no change. I can see my MP 600 as the only printer available. I am also unable to even print a 'test' page. When I run the Network Diagnostics everything is fine, but no printing.
Any suggestions?

I tried this. I also tried updating the CUPS config file as was noted elsewhere. The printer is a total no-show on Leopard.
It is being served by an older G4 whose only job is to serve the printer.
On Tiger it would just *be there* to print to. All the Panther computers see it as a "shared printer" in the printer box.
In Leopard.... not a &^^&% thing.
Not happy.

Are you using a gimp driver? I had the same issue and gimp was the cause. I went to the Canon website and found the driver I needed. After the install and restart all was well. In fact, when I opened Print Utility, I saw that the system had already defaulted to the new Canon driver. Here's the Canon link...

Where have the CS2 filters gone after leopard upgrade?

I have CS2 on a Powerbook G4 1.5Ghz operating on Leopard 10.5.7. The Powerbook was previously my brothers so I inherited all the software on it. CS2 was reinstalled after a recent upgrade from Tiger to Leopard.
Since then, I have had only 5 filter options in Photoshop - Blur, Noise, Pixelate, Sharp and Stylize.
I have searched everywhere for the files on the system, in case they were accidently moved, despite the fact I never mess around with the system folders.
I have been able to add plugins by placing them in MacintoshHD> Adobe> Plugins> CS2> File Formats. The plugin then appears in Photoshop.
Also, I noticed that when I go to Applications> Adobe creative suite> Adobe Photoshop CS2, there is no "plugins" file (like there is for Illustrator outline the filter options).
Im really missing the basic filters I used to have especially the halftone and its options.
I have searched this forum and notice someone had the same problem, but the suggested solutions have not helped me. I neither have a backup copy of CS2 or the original disk. The CS2 software is an educational package (from UCLA).
Would anyone have any advice on how I can get the basic filters back?
Many thanks!

Well excuse me sir for having a hand-me-down-mac.
Call the FBI!
You should not be so quick with your accusations.
FYI, my family had 2macs. One with CS, the other with CS2. Both macs were upgraded to Leopard, then the computers were swapped around as I preferenced Photoshop CS2. Adobe have never mentioned anything about "pirated software" - in fact were most helpful when I rang them and they re-activated CS2 - consider your statement as "idiotic".
I should report you for abuse.

OS X 10.4.9 The Whine Is Back

The whine has reappeared on my MBP after the update. Its a high pitched electrical sound from the area near the power connector.

Are you sure it wasn't back before then? I had the whine on a MBP 15 inch (which Apple finally repaired this last July) so I'm pretty familiar with it. I ordered a MPB 17 recently - and, b/c of an order mix-up, Apple sent two. One came with a very subtle whine. I sent that back and kept the "good" one...however about three weeks ago (mid 10.4.8) I noticed the whine had returned. VERY quiet compared to the prior whine I had - a lot of people had trouble hearing that (according to reports)...even more would have trouble hearing this.
Long story, short...I noticed my whine had returned several weeks ago - though it probably returned some time before I finally noticed it. After updates, people tend to take a good look at their system, "checking in" to it a little closer. Perhaps that was the case with yorus?

After Leopard install Mac OSX Setup Assistant is in a constant loop

I have a friend who I persuaded to switch to mac a few years ago and he recently installed Leopard without much success on his second mac (it was fine on his macbook pro 2.13ghz), a Power PC G5 1.8ghz - 1.25 gb ram. When I had a look at it it appears to be stuck in Mac OSX Setup Assistant mode - i.e. when you put the info in and the Screen says "enjoy your computer" or whatever it just comes back to the same Setup page. (What's weird is can't get to the end unless it has an internet signal - wireless at his place and ethernet at mine)
I'm guessing something went wrong during installation as when I restart with the Leopard disc in and hold "c" Leopard install launches but only shows drivers and some languages need to be installed. I copied all important files via target mode and it shows that the Computer is "10.5". I'm guessing the full installation was interrupted. There doesn't appear to be a way to do a complete re-install. I ran Tech-Tool and Disk Warrior to rebuild and verify permissions etc. No joy!
I'd like to do a full re-install of Leopard but I can't. As I have all important info backed up I guess I might have to completely wipe the disc and install Leopard on the blank disc - should this be okay as I've never done that before?
Any other suggestions appreciated.

If I press go back ...it just goes back to the Welcome screen.
I should mention that if I try and select anything that needs to be opened in a window from the Apple menu nothing opens up. For example if I choose System Preferences it will show System Preferences in the top menu but no window will open.
