Tiger AB Archive not importing with Leopard AB.

I have my address book backed up as an archive under Tiger, now I am on Leopard and I want to import my contacts, I use the import Address Book Archive from the Menu Bar, it asks if it is OK to replace all my current contacts, I click Yes, and... nothing happens!
Anyone have any idea what the problem may be? I am using a totally clean install of Leopard, hence the need to import an Archive.
Thanks,
Anil.

I have the same problem, the import of my Tiger Address Book file won't work.
I initially started out from an Archive & Install of Leopard, and dragged the /Application Support/Address Book/ folder from the archive to the correct location on the new install.
Nothing showed up in Address Book. I then grabbed an AB export/backup I had from Tiger and tried to import that - again nothing worked.
Here's what Console tells me:
*05/11/07 13.25.06 Address Book[8769] The NSManagedObject with ID:0x3d9a80 <x-coredata://6F0B0E0D-CF51-4D98-A5FB-CAB9A9BD67B6/ABCDCustomProperty/p1> has been invalidated.*
*05/11/07 13.25.15 AddressBookManager[8808] Records in database: 2*
*05/11/07 13.25.15 AddressBookManager[8808] Records in metadata: 1*
*05/11/07 13.25.15 AddressBookManager[8808] Records without metadata: {(*
"A2C25347-DAA6-4465-90CF-506AAA4B3E98:ABPerson"
Is this an indicator that a record or entry in my old Address Book is not compatible with Leopard perhaps?
I've heard many others have the same problem, has anyone found a fix for this? I did of course try to restart AB, even restarted my MacBook Pro but nothing.

IPhoto install NOT included with Leopard

Here's the scenario: Purchased an iMac 24" (2.8GHhz) a couple of weeks ago. Got it home and fired it up only to be confronted with Tiger as an OS. There were three Leopard Install Discs provided with the machine so (after much head scratching as to which method of install to choose) I did a clean install. All fine, except it was 10.5.0 and needed lots and lots of Software Updates to get up to speed.
At the same time (in the Mac Store Milton Keynes, UK) I purchased a separate copy of Leopard to bring my G4 17" Laptop in line with the shiny new iMac. I was running Tiger 10.4.9 on the lappy. I ran Carbon Copy Clone (just in case) on the laptop before doing a clean install of Leopard 10.5.1 from the purchased disc.
All pretty straightforward so far.
My main reason for upgrading the laptop was to ensure both machines could run iPhoto 08 (or whatever the latest number is).
When I plugged in (to the iMac) my external Lacie Rugged drive, which holds my Tiger iPhoto Library, Leopard told me that if I opened this in iPhoto 08 I would no longer be able to access it through any earlier versions - thanks Apple!
So, you can imagine my surprise when, after a successful install on the laptop, I came to launch iPhoto only to find it isn't there. A quick look at the (most excellent) Mac Forums provided me with the answer - iLife 08 and it's various components are NOT included with Leopard - thanks again Apple.
A ha, I thought. I'll simply use the 'Everything Else' discs that came with the iMac and install iLife from there.
Pop in the disc, choose 'Install other components' packet... Nope - Message come up - Cannot install this software on this computer. Oops.
Latest thought is (and this eventually leads to the question, bear with me)...
On the Laptop - Go back to the original Tiger install discs and see if there's an option to install iLife 06 components only. Then go back to the Leopard Discs and see if they will then allow for an upgrade rather than an install from scratch.
Question really is, I guess, does anyone else have a suggestion? Other than go out and buy a copy of iLife 08! Just trying not to overspend on Apple products that surely should be included in the Leopard install. I don't recall EVER having to pay for additional Apple software through any of the upgrade paths in the past.

Hi there
I used Pacifist OSX package extractor. Take the Leo install disc that came with your new Mac, install Pacifist on the computer you want iphoto installed and extract iphoto. I quote from the manufacturers (charlessoft.com) website:
"Pacifist is an essential utility that allows you to extract certain files from Apple's bundled installer packages. For exmaple, if you need to reinstall iDVD, the only Apple-sanctioned choice is to restore your entire system. Using Pacifist, you can extract just the iDVD application.
Even if you think you'll never use it, you should download Pacifist - I guarantee that someday, someway, you'll want to get at just one file out of an installation bundle. As soon as you do, register Pacifist, as it will have just easily paid for itself in time saved!"
I did it that way and it worked flawlessly. Hope this helps.

Tried updating firefox but it is not compatible with leopard op. If I try to re-install the older version will my bookmarks still be there?

Tried updating firefox but it is not compatible with leopard op. If I try to re-install the older version will my bookmarks still be there?

Current Firefox versions require a Mac with an Intel processor and OS X 10.6.
Firefox 16 is the last version that runs on Intel Mac OS X 10.5.
You would have to update to OS X 10.6 to be able to use current Firefox releases.
Last Firefox for Mac OS X 10.5:

FCP not working with Leopard

Every time I try and launch FCP5 Studio 2 it gives me the "This application Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly." Anyone have a solution to this? Anyone else experienced this?
Do I just have to wait for an update?

Having same problem with FCP v 6.0.1 and tried the FCP Rescue 6..... Also does not work with Leopard.
I am just about to try this proceedure.
Delete the User Preferences
You can resolve many issues by restoring Final Cut Pro back to its original settings. This will not impact your project files, but you should verify your Scratch Disk location setting after doing this. To reset your Final Cut Pro user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences—the tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
Remove the “com.apple.finalcutpro.plist” file from the Preferences folder.
Remove the “Final Cut Pro User Data” folder from the Preferences folder.
Will report shortly.

ITunes cannot get CD track names for CDs that were not imported with iTunes

I have a number of WAV files and MP3 files that already have album information. I would like to erase that information and have it replaced using the "Get CD Track Names" function, but keep receiving an error message of "iTunes cannot get CD track names for CDs that were not imported with iTunes." Is there some way to strip the previous information and replace it with information that iTunes receives with the "Get CD Track Names" function?

Programs like itunes use characteristics of the CD such as track duration and sequence to identify CDs. Potentially this could be modified in a very small manner (maybe even a millisecond) in converting to a different format so maybe itunes doesn't even want to try getting the information for other formats.
You can certainly replace whatever information you wish by "get info" on a single or multiple selection of files and entering the data by hand.

Key words (metadata) created in Adobe Bridge not searchable with Leopard

I archive a LOT of photos on my computer. I had tagged countless keywords into my thousands of photos. I could search for the keywords in Finder and life was great. I had upgraded to Leopard and my keywords disappeared! I have reverted back to Tiger after other issues. My power source failed and I was having bluetooth and ethernet issues.
Now with Tiger back, my keywords have reappeared. Will they once again disappear if I load Leopard again?

You can try, but I am guessing that the metadata importer used by Spotlight that Adobe wrote for Bridge isn't compatible with Leopard.

Help! Still can't import with Leopard and LR 1.3

I still can't import off my CF card since upgrading to Leopard. I still get the same message I got with LR 1.2:
"Could not copy a file to the requested location. (2)
_DLL6859.NEF
_DLL6860.NEF"
does anyone know why this might be? The import dialogue still opens automatically when I insert the card, and I can see the images in the preview pane of the import dialogue, so I don't think it's the card reader. I've double-checked all my paths and they are the same as they were with Tiger. I've got plenty of free space on my storage drive. I tried copying the files off the card onto my desktop and it won't import from there either. please help, I've been without LR for weeks and waited patiently for the upgrade but it's still not importing. Any and all assistance accepted!
Thanks!
Dave

well guess what folks. after several conversations with adobe, and one with apple, we figured out that it is a permissions problem on the second, internal storage drive that I use to store my photos. the LR folks say it's an apple issue and....you guessed it....the apple folks say it's an adobe issue. I suspect it's an apple issue. It was never a problem until I upgraded to leopard. And, I found the solution in the apple forums, with the help of a user there. I just had to go into the storage drive and click "ignore permissions" and presto, LR is working again (or at least import is. I haven't put it through it's full paces yet.)
wish I didn't wait until 1.3 came out to figure this out! but i figured it was a compatibility problem and I should give adobe a chance to update for leopard. Now, of course, I have a 500GB internal storage drive that nobody needs permission to mess with, but at least I have my main photo app back.....
Here's another lesson from this: hours on the phone with adobe and apple tech support, three separate techies, serial numbers verified someplace in India.......and the answer came from a user forum. Bravo!

Osascript for remote login does not work with Leopard

We are testing Leopard on one computer in our labs. The only problem so far is that the osascript that we use to remote login to the computers stopped working (although it works fine on the Tiger machines):
osascript <<EndOfMyScript
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "public"
keystroke tab
delay 0.5
keystroke return
keystroke tab
delay 0.5
keystroke return
keystroke return
end tell
EndOfMyScript
This is a public account with no user password. I've read the discussion below, but have not been able to tweak the command so that it works with Leopard. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I'm having a similar problem - the script below works with my G5 iMacs running 10.4.9 but not the Intel iMacs running 10.4.8. It almost works - the username and password appear in the right boxes, so I run around the room pressing the Return key.
# This script when used with ASR Send UNIX command will login workstations at the LoginWindow.
# The script assumes that the cursor is focused in the Name field.
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke "username"'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke tab'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to delay 0.5'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke "password"'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to delay 0.5'; \

ATI Radeon 9600 Mac & PC Edition will not work with leopard

When I installed a new ATI Radeon 9600 Mac & PC Edition, 256MB; my Dual 2 GHz G5 (June 2004) will not allow me to drive my Apple Cinema Display while running under leopard, (neither 10.5.1 or 10.5.2 with Leopard Graphics Update).
The mac starts up as usual and gets to the white screen with Apple logo -then the progress ring eventually stalls. The mouse pointer becomes visible and can be moved freely around this screen.
I can connect from other macs on the network and navigate files, but screen sharing results in an all black window.
The Radeon 9600 works fine if I start up the mac with the Tiger installation disk.
I have tried every suggestion that I could find on these boards and elsewhere: zapped the pram, reset the SMU, installed older ATI Drivers, etc...
Of course the G5 is far out of warranty. I've been running Leopard since the day it shipped - so that's out of warranty now, and there is little help to be found on the ATI/AMD website. I'm afraid I'll have to return the card before Apple releases another graphics update.
The stock graphics card that came with this mac is the nVIDIA 64MB GeForce FX 5200 - but it's having trouble keeping up with Leopard's demands - my isight barely works, most special effects in iChat and PhotoBooth are unusable, and of course I'm not given the option to use a transparent menu bar,
I am really good at swapping video cards in the G5 now - but I'm so frustrated.
Does anyone else have any suggestions?
thanks

AE not working with Leopard and fed up

It happened a while ago, and set it up again, and again, again.
It all stated after upgrading to Leopard
Today I was about to listen to some music through AE, and once again it didn't work. I had the green light on, it shows as connected in my router setup page. I have change internet suppliers a couple of month ago and have brand new router, but it was happening with my previous router too. In fact in the last 5 months I have used 4 different router, all branded. Airport Utility couldn't find AE.
Today I spend more than 2h simply trying to set it up again.
It took 4 or 5 hard reset before Airport Utility finally found the AE.
When I clicked on continue, 9 time out of 10 I got
Base Station Error
Airport Utility was unable to find Apple wireless device
while it is was obliviously showing before
and back to hard reset.
If I connect an ethernet cable I get the self-addressed IP trouble, but strangely I have managed to set up AE only when the ethernet cable was connected, but the set-up was through WIFI, as it asked me to switch network.
I tried to switch off the firewall with no success either.
I looked at my local wireless networks using iStumber, and once again find some new network with the same channel as mine, so I changed mine to a channel not used. I did this a month ago already.
As I said some how after 2h of wasted time etc, I finally managed to get it going, and started to listen to some radio with Airfoil. After about an hour of listening, it when dead again.
Airport Utility doesn't find the device any more, like at the start of the day. iTunes doesn't make it available, my green light is on, my router shows it as connected, and of course I cannot print any more.
I am getting really fed up. It has been working ok for a couple of years with Tiger, but with Leopard it just works when either it wants.
After all these are Apple products, are not cheap, and don't work.
All are with last firmware, last upgrade etc..
Please tell me why all this is happening, why there isn't any fixes. We are 10.5.6 more than 18 month after launch of Leopard, with snow leopard about to become available. Is it because I am using a non intel machine?
Many thanks

Reading over your message, I am a little unclear about how far along you are in sharing your LightRoom setup with the Laptop. I am going to assume that right now Lightroom and the pictures are both on the PC and on an internal Hard Drive. And except for the scary message you had at the beginning of changing to ver 1.2, everything is working ok. Yes?
What I'd do is wait until you get the external drive up and working. Once you are satisfied that the system works ok, and you have tested it with whatever diagnostic software you use, you are ready to start moving your images to the new drive.
Do a good backup of your images to your backup drive.
Move them to the hard drive from within Lightroom: Use the '+' symbol in the heading of the Folders panel to tell LR to add a new folder from the external drive to the LR folders panel, and then drag and drop the folders already in LR over to their new home.
This way the LR Catalog will always know where the files are.
Then when you are sure that all the image files are on the external drive and LR sees them all and everything is working correctly, exit from LR and copy the catalog file over there.
I used to use windows systems, although I converted to Mac a few years ago. You should be able to double-click on that catalog file that is on the external drive and it should start Lightroom and you should be good to go.
I just used the word "should" three times meaning I'm not really positive about that last step; if I'm wrong I hope someone on a PC will post a correction.
Once it is working OK on the PC with the external drive Load LR on the Laptop.
Best Wishes!

Airport Extreme and Express not working with Leopard

Both Exreme and Express appeared on Disk Utilty as "green" and worked with Tiger, after I installed new OS Leopard neither appears and cannot connect wirelessly.
What's up? TOM

Although the Upgrade path is touted as the "simplest" if may be the most troublesome if your Mac had a lot of third-party applications running on it prior to upgrading. Unfortunately, it's too early to offer much advise on what may have gone wrong with your AirPort connectivity. My guess, at this time, is that you may have some corrupted AirPort configuration files in your System folder.
Do you, by chance, have a clone backup of your previous disk? If so, it might be worth the trouble to return your Mac to its previous configuration, and then, try upgrading using the "Archive and Install" method. This will ensure a "clean" copy of Leopard, and just transition your user settings as appropriate. You may also want to post in the new Leopard Discussions area as well.

Printer Drivers Not Working with Leopard

I downloaded the Oki C5150n driver for Intel Macs and they don't work properly with Leopard. I need to use the bypass feed, but the drop down menu to choose the paper source only drops partway down not allowing any choices.
This is only happening with CS and CS3. The printer works fine with MS Office.
I have the Oki driver on my Macbook Pro and it works fine, but I'm running Tiger on the Macbook Pro.
Any Help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

Same issues here...same setup. This has been an intermittent issue for some time now. My latest incident was when power was lost during one of the big snow storms. Print jobs hang when going trough Time Capsule (wired or wireless) but are fine if plugged into computers USB port. I have resolved this issue before by following similar steps outlined above, but the solution seem to be hit or miss.

Disk Utility not compatible with Leopard

Disk Utility does not work.
When I run "Repair Permissions", all errors are unable to be fixed.
The same error messages appear when starting up with the Leopard DVD (pressing "C" during start) via the Disk Utility from the menu.
Now, I am stuck because iTunes will not import anything.
Please help!

Alright, then that's okay.
I managed to solve the mystery of the iTunes files.
It turns out that although the file extensions were the same (.AIFF), I had inadvertently selected Apple/SGI 32 bit (float) = not compatible.
The solution was to select Apple/SGI16 bit (PCM) = compatible with iTunes.
Now how will we be able to rely on Disk Utilities when it reports false information?

Will not install with Leopard

I just migrated from an older iMac G4 to a newer iMac 2GHz
Intel Core Duo. To my chagrin I then discovered that Director MX
2004 would not work on an Intel machine. So... I upgraded to
Director 11. After all the hassle of proving (once again) that I am
an academic, I received the confirmation and link so that I could
download and install the new version. Alas...! When I run the
installer, it says: "This software cannot be installed because the
file system of the OS volume is not supported." WHAT? Director 11
won't install on Mac OS 10.5.2 (Leopard), but it will on Win-doze
Vista???
HELP! I need Director! It is the prime piece of software that
I use to create programs for my classes!

SujaiS: I found the problem! My hard disk was formatted
"journaled (case-sensitive)". After searching through lots of
discussions and support files, I learned that apparently several
Adobe applications will not run with that format.
I therefore had to boot from my Leopard install disk, erase
and reformat the hard disk as only "journaled' (NOT
"case-sensitive"), reinstall Leopard, then restore the contents of
the hard drive from my Time Machine backup. I have since managed to
install Director 11 just fine. It has shown some odd bugs, however.
For example, a cast member with text (using an embedded font) now
shows an exclamation mark on a following line... but there IS no
exclamation mark to delete, let alone a following line! Weird! I
tried changing to another embedded font, and the program crashed.
Hmmmm.
At any rate, I would suggest that Adobe needs to specify for
Director 11, under Mac system requirements, that "case-sensitive"
formatted hard disks will NOT work. That is a simple warning to
include. Adobe is obviously aware of that incompatibility, since it
mentions it under forums and technical issues for other programs.
Shouldn't they list that system requirement from the get-go?
Thanks for your suggestions!

Narration audio is not importing with PPTX

Using PPT 2013 and Cap 7.0.1.237, importing a PPTX is not importing the audio narration. I've tested with and without High Fidelity and Slide Duration checked. Is this still a known issue? What else can I check? Thanks.

Does the video clip have any audio when it is opened into the viewer from the browser? What are the exact item properties of the video clip you're talking about?
