Tiger for 2 Macs

Hey Guys,
I wonder: if I need to install Tiger on 2 Macs, do I need the family pack? The other license mode is single user, right?
Greetings

wow, that's what I call a quick answer. Thanks

10.4 tiger for mac book

Hi does any know were I can buy or download 10.4 tiger for mac book? thanks

What model MacBook do you have?
The first MacBook model came with OS 10.4.6 preinstalled. Some later models came with OS 10.4.8 preinstalled. A regular retail OS 10.4 installer may not work.
Some MacBooks came with OS 10.5.x preinstalled and won't run OS 10.4.x.

Printer Driver for HP Photosmart 7520 for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and 10.3 and 10.5

I just purchased a new HP Photosmart 7520 printer. One of my Macs at home is an iMac G5 that is running Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. It connects to the HP printer via Wi-Fi. HP does not provide drivers for Mac OS 10.4 for the Photosmart 7520 printer. I tried all sorts of old HP drivers and finally found one that worked, so I figured I would post here to help out anyone else who is trying to solve the same problem. The driver download you need is the OS 10.4 driver for the Photosmart C7250 All-In-One printer. Here is the link to the download page:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-55650-2 &cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=219&product=3382185&sw_lang=
After downloading and installing the drivers, I ran the HP Printer Setup Utility. It was not able to detect my printer. I had to go to System Preferences on my Mac and add the printer manually in the Print & Fax control panel. The Print & Fax control panel was not able to auto-select the correct driver to use, so I selected "HP" from the "Print Using" drop-down list, and then selected "HP Photosmart D7400 Series" from the "Model" list. That worked for me. Good luck!
According to the driver download page, this driver will work for Mac OS X v10.3.9, v10.4 and v10.5

Thank you very much, I just bought this printer without paying attention to the compatibility of my Imac. Thanks to you, I just install it without too much difficulty. Thank you again.
Merci beaucoup, je viens d'acheter cette imprimante sans faire attention à la compatibilité de mon Imac. Grace à vous, je viens de l'installer sans trop de difficulté. Encore merci.

Apple releases Java update for Mac OS X Tiger

Apple released J2SE 5.0 Release 4 on Tuesday, an update for Mac OS X 10.4.5 Tiger users. According to notes provided with the update the release delivers improved reliability and compatibility for the Java 2 Platform Standard Edition 5.0. With today's release J2SE 5.0 becomes the preferred Java version, superseding Java 1.4.2. Apple notes that Java 1.4.2 is still installed on the machine, but applications will run with J2SE 5.0 unless they specifically request Java 1.4.2. The update is available as a download from Apple's Web site
or via the Software Update mechanism in Mac OS X.

When I go to the DOWNLOADS Section of the Apple Support page and find the Java update, I see "(PPC)" next to it. Does that mean anything?

TV for Mac triggering Tiger kernel panics

I picked up a "TV For Mac" 800E USB HD video device yesterday, and since I started using it, I've had 4 kernel panics. The kernel panic seems to indicate the crash was in the USB subsystem. I get an IODMACommand error every time.
A lot of other people are seeing the same problem. The company, Elgato, is not much help in solving this issue.
The video recorder works great, except for the crashing.
Does anyone else see this? Any solutions besides just not using the device?
Does anyone know of a video recording device (I use it for cable TV and HD digital broadcast TV) that might work without the gray-screen-of-death problem?
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

This problem was eventually fixed with an update from Elgato software.
However, they say it is actually bugs in the MacOS USB subsystem, but hopefully they won't show again.
Also, the device appears to work fine in Leopard as well now.

N95 Software Updater for Mac OS X Tiger and Leopar...

Hi Guys,
I am posting this in preparation for potentially migrating from a Windows PC to a Mac.
I have just got an N95 on T-Mobile, which is fully up to date. Currently, at the moment I have a laptop running Windows XP but I am considering moving to a Max OX Leopard MacBook in a couple of months and I wondering whether there is a "Software Updater" application for Mac OS X?
I am very interested to gain a full understanding of the Mac OS X compatibility. So I'd be very interested to hear anything.
Many thanks in advance.
Neil

i haven't been a windows user since 1998.
and i dont blame nokia at all for not providing a mac tool to update firmware on our phones.
have you ever updated the firmware on ANYTHING before? no? let me give you the run-down:
1. motherboards. they used to provide DOS boot floppies to update motherboard bios, but these days it's invariably a windows gui tool. yeah - when that change happened all i could think was "PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE dont bluescreen on me"!!!. but, thats the world today - so if you want to update the bios on your linux box, you'd better have a windows drive to boot from.
2. DVD/CD drives. again, windows gui tools - but with a higher percentage of exceptions. in some RARE cases you can even do it from linux.
3. mobile phones. well? i've never had a phone before with firmware updates even AVAILABLE. it used to be that you could tell a good motherboard manufacturer from a bad one by looking for firmware updates to its top 3 models. if there were only a few, and only for the first year, that company sucked (think Biostar). if they had ongoing support, frequent and adding features worth wanting over several years, that was a good company (think Asus). so where does that leave us? Nokia provides ongoing firmware updates. THANK YOU NOKIA FOR CARING ENOUGH TO DO IT.
yes. thank's are in order - not complaints. they dont sell windows. they dont sell macosx. they dont sell desktop operating systems at all. they sell phones. phones that have software. they provide ongoing support for these phones in the form of firmware updates. they give these updates freely and ensure that for a large portion of their user base that these updates can be installed from home with well tested code. for the rest of us? either take your phone to a nokia service center (i think the closest one to me is a 9 hour drive) or use a windows box. OR JUST KEEP YOUR OLD FIRMWARE, hell nokia isn't compelled to provide new firmware in the first place. the fast that they do is nice, but your phone does what-it-says-on-the-tin. you don't need to use windows at all if you dont want, you just cant update your firmware.
i am so sick of hearing the same tired complaints that "we'll never forgive you nokia" and "you make me switch to a competitor". its all **bleep**. you bought your nokia phone because of the features listed on the box. they are good features. the phone has these features, just as promised. use them and rejoice.
hrmph.

DivX "for Mac" and Safari -- anyone get it to work on Snow Leopard?

Pardon me for the length of this post -- it's just a very involved question to which DivX has no answers, and I've literally wasted this entire week trying to get the so-called DivX "Bundle for Mac" to work, with absolutely no joy.
27" iMac Core 2 Duo 3.06 GHz, 12 GB RAM, OS X 10.6.7
Safari (v. 5.0.5 [6533.21.1])
Safari Extensions:
DivX HiQ 2.1.1.94
DivX Plus Web Player HTML5 <video> 2.1.1.94
As anyone who has used YouTube in the past year or however long this option has been available, many videos, under the regular YouTube control bar at the bottom of the video window, have an additional option: DivX HiQ, with a blue "play" button with black arrow, and in white text on black, the message "Press play for higher quality video." EVERY SINGLE time, until yesterday (about which more anon) I've selected DivX HiQ, the YouTube screen turns into the gray DivX Plus player window for a few seconds, sometimes I get a brief "Buffering…" message (sometimes not)* (see below), then a window pops up telling me "DivX Plus Web Player could not download the video, please check your internet connection." (screen shots on request).
I have DL'd AND installed -- several times over the past few days -- DivX for Mac, version 7.3 (right up-to-date as of 11-30-10 -- great support for the Mac OS), with little or no success or noticeable results. Finally, yesterday, it somehow (I thought) installed correctly: at least instead of nothing whatsoever happening after the install, this time I was whisked magically away to <<http://www.divx.com/en/software/download/installed/mac?os=mac>> where I was rather breathlessly informed "Congratulations! You can now enjoy the highest quality digital video | divx.com." Well, this was something new -- this was the first time I'd ever gotten this far. Then I was shown many movies, promising new marvels:
The first movie informed me "You have successfully installed DivX software." This WAS something new. Then it told me about the "DivX Plus Web Player… Now Featuring: DivX HiQ… Boost web video quality and performance… … Look for the DivX HiQ Button on your favorite video sites… see better quality and performance with a simple click… Try it out on your favorite sites… YouTube. Vimeo. And more.
Then I played the NEXT movie, all about the DivX Plus Player, and here I TRULY saw something I'd never seen before: *a DivX Plus Player window, that actually said " Connecting… Buffering: … " and then -- mirabile dictu! -- an actual video began to play, and actually continued to play, with no stops, fits, or error windows, right up until the end. This WAS something new under the sun. It continued, extolling the manifold virtues of "DivX to go," which was of no use to me. The next video was about the DivX Plus Codec Pack, and the video told me about the wonderful things DivX could do in Windows 7, if I was brain-dead enough to USE Windows 7. Useless info, but that video, too, opened up the way I believe the *HiQ videos are supposed to open up in YouTube, for example: "Connecting… Buffering: …," and then actually opening and playing. BTW, I hate to sound like a troglodytic Luddite, but I have no idea what "MKV" video is.
The final video, which ALSO opened up the way I believe the *HiQ videos are supposed to open up in YouTube, for example: "Connecting… Buffering: …," spoke to me about the manifold joys of DivX Plus converter, which ALSO requires the DivX Player application, and since the DivX Player application (v.7.2 (build 10_0_0_184, Copyright © 2006-2009 DivX, Inc.), which, I was given to understand, was actually a PART of the DivX software I had finally "successfully installed" (according to divx.com's delirious greeting), has never worked, none of what all these videos talked about was going to do me much good. HOW has it never worked, you ask? It has never worked in this way: I click on the DivX Player app icon, the DivX Player window opens, and the Mac OS beach ball spins merrily away, and spins, and spins, and spins -- at this point, I usually go to the kitchen for another cup of the strengthening coffee and the hopefully headache-reducing ibuprofen. When I come back, the beach ball is still spinning, so, resignedly, I go to the "Force Quit" command, where, invariably, I see the message "DivX Player not responding," and, resignedly, I force quit it. Again. This scenario has occurred without variation every single time I've tried to open the DivX Player application. It has never actually opened correctly, it has always shown up in the "Force Quit" window with the comment "DivX Player not responding," and I have always had to Force Quit it.
Now Here's what may be termed the icing on the cake: fairly well buried in the "DivX for Mac" install package is a pdf "read me." Among many other fables is THIS whopper:
"For online video tutorials visit the following URL in your web browser: http://go.divx.com/mac/tutorials"
I did just that, and though the link works, there IS no page on the DivX site for "Mac tutorials." When you click on the link, you get redirected to "http://support.divx.com/faq/view/supportFAQen100/video_tutorials_main." Except for a video tutorial under "DivX Converter_ -- for which I have no use -- entitled "How To Edit Your DivX Converter for Mac Output Settings," and these two: "How To Export To DivX In Final Cut Pro for Mac," and "How To Export To DivX Using QuickTime On A Mac" -- neither of which do me the slightest bit of good, since A) I don't use, nor can I afford, Final Cut Pro, and B) what good would it to to export ANYTHING to DivX when the DivX Player for Mac does not, and has never, done anything but hang until Force Quitted?
A brief digression on that very subject of "hanging:" there's a little section in the obscure "DivX for Mac" pdf that reads:
"5. Known issues
Network connection is lost during download
A lost network connection in the middle of a download may hang the DivX Player For Mac. If this occurs, you may 'Force Quit' the DivX Player For Mac by simultaneously clicking command-option-escape and selecting the application from the list or by right-clicking the icon in the dock and selecting 'Force Quit.' You may then resume the download by re-launching the DivX Player, selecting 'Download Manager” from the File menu and clicking 'Resume.'"
Wonderful advice, if I could ever get to the point where I was actually downloading something, but since MY particular edition of DivX Player for Mac saves me all that bother by hanging immediately upon launch, DivX has very kindly saved me the trouble of having to go through all that "Force Quit" - "Resume" nonsense. Of course, I never get to download anything or use the DivX Player on YouTube or anywhere else, so that's a bit of a downside.
So back to the putative "Mac tutorials" on the non-existent "http://go.divx.com/mac/tutorials" page: other than the three totally non-germane examples I cited above, there is nothing that I can find on the re-direct page (http://support.divx.com/faq/view/supportFAQen100/video_tutorials_main) that is the least concerned with the usage or behavior of any component of DivX on a Macintosh computer. That's certainly not uncommon, but for a company that purports to sell products that actually work on the Mac OS X platform, EVERYTHING about the DivX site is so totally Windows-centric, one would be inclined to believe that DivX is not even aware the Mac OS X platform exists. For example, here's the list of tutorials under "DivX 101 - Learn How" on the page that, according to the DivX for Mac Read Me, was supposed to solve all my problems with running DivX on a Mac:
Featured Video Tutorials
How to register your PS3 for DivX VOD playback
How do I make DivX player my default video player?
How to register your DivX Certified device with the DivX Plus Player
How to stream DivX Plus HD (MKV) files to your Xbox 360
How to use the DivX Plus Converter
Featured Text Guides
DivX Plus Converter for Windows User Guide
DivX Plus Player for Windows User Guide
DivX Codec 5.x User Guide
DivX Codec 6 and Virtual Dub Guide
It's wonderful that DivX has tutorials dealing with XBox360 and PS3, but the Mac seems to have been lost in the shuffle -- I think, from an aesthetic point, the guy in the sideways hat and the emphasis on animé and "blow 'em up" games in what few tutorials are actually there pretty much sums up DivX's idea of their market focus. Maybe they're right, but if this "free" version, that so far I have not been able to get to work as advertised on my 27" iMac, is supposed to entice any Mac user into forking over even the piddling $20.00 for the "Pro" version, the "free" version isn't DivX any "gotta have it" favors.
Now for the final mystery: I have two Safari -- v5.0.5 (6533.21.1) -- extensions from DivX:
1. DivX HiQ 2.1.1.94, which is supposed to allow you to watch videos on YouTube, Vimeo, etc. in the DivX Player for Mac, but refuses to work when enabled: EVERY SINGLE time I've selected DivX HiQ, the YouTube screen turns into the gray DivX player window for a few seconds, then an error window pops up that says "DivX Plus Web Player could not download the video, please check your internet connection."
2. DivX Plus Web Player HTML5 <video> 2.1.1.94, the little blurb in the Safari Extensions window for which says "Increase performance and video formats for your HTML5 <video>
Clicking on the "by DivX, Inc." link in the Safari Extensions window of either of these extensions takes me to http://www.divx.com/en/software/divx-plus/web-player
"High-quality video shouldn’t stop at your browser. DivX Plus® Web Player gives you the best web video performance around, even on sites using Flash®. The latest feature, DivX HiQ™ beta, lets you replace the default Flash player on popular sites for improved performance. Of course you can still watch stunning DivX® and DivX Plus HD (MKV) videos right in your browser, and even enjoy MKV features like multiple audio tracks, subtitles and 5.1 channel AAC audio."
That's all well and good, but, not when it doesn't work. I don't know what the story is with these Safari Extensions: a manual (unfortunately the only way you can do it), category by category search of Apple's "Safari Extensions Gallery" turns up NO information about these extensions, neither does -- as far as I can tell -- a search of the DivX site. Am I supposed to use BOTH extensions? Neither? One or the other? Which? So far, if I use them, I get the HiQ option in YouTube (and elsewhere), but when I click on it, I get the error message above, and the window reverts to the usual plain old YouTube window. If I disable the DivX Safari extensions, I don't even get the HiQ option.
Has ANYONE gotten the DivX for Mac Bundle v7.1, or even the DivX Plus Web Player for Mac, v2.1.1, to actually work on a Mac running OS X 10.6.7?
If so, PLEASE tell me how you got it to work.
I'd gladly for over the 20 bucks for this product if it actually worked, but not until it does.
Bart Brown

Well, I can start banging my head against the brick wall again.
"I have never knowingly come across Divx in any shape or form. YouTube uses either Flash or HTML5."
I don't understand how you can make that statement, considering the discussion you participated in at:

Hi,
Thanks for your answer. After some more experimenting, i finally got it to work ... However, not every embedded DivX movie will play.
I just deleted another codec in the Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime folder. (One of the codecs mentioned on http://perian.org/#support was still in the folder). Before I had only deleted the files whose name has "DivX" in it.
I did NOT install the DivX Web Player plugin.
Now some DivX videos play, some don't... So maybe I should re-install the DivX Web Plugin? But the Web Plugin never worked for me ... If I re-install it, won't I go back to where I started?

Re: DivX Web Player and Safari

It could be that your previous DivX player was out of date.
As Perian says, you need both.
First, I certainly wish you (or my search of Apple Discussions, which, inexplicably, did not turn up this discussion) had referred me to this discussion before -- it would have saved a LOT of time.
Now, to your reply to Philippe Pauwels: "As Perian says, you need both." Both WHAT, exactly?
From the initial release of Perian 0.5, September 29, 2006, to the latest release, Perian 1.2.2 - Tuesday, April 13, 2011, there is not a single mention of DivX in the entire 2006 to 2011 version history. The only information on the Perian support page regarding DivX is the paragraph that states, in part, "Please consider removing obsolete QuickTime Components: ...DivX, DivX Decoder..."
Can you please tell me what you mean by "Perian says, you need both," in regard to putative DivX Extensions, Plug-Ins, Components, whatever?
Finally, on July 12, 2009, you posted, in a reply to martin Alper, a list of "the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear/play pretty much everything that the net can throw at you." Taking into consideration that it's 2 years later and most versions have newer updates -- including Mac OS X itself -- some items are no longer among us, and some NEW ones have shown up. could you please update or comment on this list, for the benefit of all sufferers?
Thank you very much,
Bart Brown
Your list as of July 12, 2009, taking into consideration your wise caveat that "nothing in life carries a guarantee!:
The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3 and 4, QT 7.4.x, 7.5.x and 7.6 and OS 10.4.11 and 10.5.7.
Download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 11.1 for Mac from:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/15540
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlas h
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
It is suggested that you first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
You should also ensure that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2009-001 (and for Tiger only, 2009-002). (N.B. Security Updates require both a restart and a permission repair.)
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
There is an additional 'fix' you could try if you are having problems with Flash and Quicktime, depending on which type of Mac you have:
On Intel Macs, make sure that you are not running Safari in Rosetta. You can check this, and change it, in the Get Info window.
On PPC Macs, go to the Hard Disk/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and drag the file 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' to the desktop. Quit and restart Safari. If things have improved you can trash that file. If they haven't put it back, as the lack of this plug-in can cause QT content in some widgets to cease functioning.
And there is an additional kid on the block: SilverLight. Microsoft has created their own version of what a replacement for Flash could be. You can read more about it here:
http://silverlight.net/
So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards) if you are using a PPC Mac. Version 2 only works with Intel Macs:
http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/
Recommendation: Close all applications before installing any of the above, repair permissions, reboot, and repair permissions again.
Thanks again

PS: You wrote "It is a pity you chose a camera that produces video in that format! As you have discovered it is incompatible with iMovie."

Paste not working properly in DW for Mac

Ok, here's a gripe which has long irritated me, but which is so minor I've not bothered posting about it before now because by the time I fight my way through the Adobe site, login to the fora, type and post a message, I fixed the problem manually, but it's got to the stage where it's got my goat.
I'm using DW 9 (CS3) under Mac OS/X Tiger (10.4), but the problem's occurred in previous versions of DW. Basically, I can't paste anything but bare text into design view. It doesn't matter from which application I've copied, even bare text in a web page, hitting Cmd-V does zip. I have to go into Paste Special and choose Text Only - all other options do bubkes. I can go into Code View and paste which of course just drops in unformatted text. This is a real PITA in situations like now, where I've got to go through 3 pages worth of academic references manually inserting carriage returns then formatting text as bold and italic. Is this a known 'issue' with DW for Mac? There's nothing wrong with the DW prefs that I can see, and I've been using this damn software for the best part of a decade so it's not as if I'm a newbie, though my Mac usage is relatively recent (last couple of years).
I've got to say that DW on the Mac, as you guys across the Pond say, sucks bigtime. It's memory usage is less than optimal (activity meter sometimes hits near 100% processor usage if DW's working), it's often keyboard-abusingly slow, and there are so many little 'idiosyncrasies' that irritate that it would take pages to outline them all. The irritations are so minor that it's not worth posting about them usually (getting to this stage has cost me 15 minutes, in which time I could have added all the CRs in my ref list), but it does grate that hundreds of dollars worth of bloatware grinds along on what is pretty much a top of the range machine (Macbook Pro). Luckily I'm not paying for the software - my employer is, otherwise I'd be really narked. I only use it on account of the site management capabilities which aren't duplicated AFAIK in any Open Source software.
Ok, that's that off my chest. Back to basic sodding text editing that I shouldn't have to do...

PS: Are you sure you've stuffed your pages with enough JS code, Adobe? Clunky ain't the word for some of the pages on this site...

Just to add another gripe about DW for Mac, it hangs and/or crashes on a regular basis. For example, I've just now asked it to open a small (8kb) XML file and it's gone into a funk with the old spinning disk, which I'll have to force quit. No big, but not what you'd expect of a 'premium' product.

Too Late for Mac OS Extended Journaled??

Hi guys! So i got a another firewire HD, 250GB by acomdata. It's formatted under FAT 32 for both windows and mac, after after reading several posts, it's best to format it under mac os extended. the problem is I already put about 30 GB of files on it. Is it too late for me to reformat it? do i have to remove all the files, then do it? If someone can provide step by step instructions that won't harm my files, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

You understand that if you reformat the drive for Mac OS Extended that you will no longer be able to use the drive on a PC?
If you do reformat the drive you need to do so as follows:
1a (If this is the startup drive.) Boot from your OS X Installer Disk. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu if using Tiger.) Be sure to use the installer disk for the version of OS X you intend to install.
1b (If this is a non-startup volume or external drive.) Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.

Mail for Mac on new hard drive won't import Mail from old hd

I recently installed an additional hard drive (running Tiger), but I kept my old one (running Panther), too, to use as a backup.
After resolving a few snags, the data and apps transferred over OK, but two days ago I (very foolishly) tried to make a change in the name I use as Administrator (or at least that's what I meant to do), and all the apps on my new hard drive forgot their passwords, preferences, etc.
What a pain!
I'll eventually get all the preferences, etc., set; but Mail on the new hd also lost everything--addresses, trash, sent messages; and that's got me baffled.
My old hd still has Mail on it (including addresses, etc.), but I haven't been able to import data from it to Mail on the new hd.
In the new Mail, under the File menu, when I choose "Import Mailboxes" and select the button for Mail for Mac OS X, then navigate to Mail on my old hd, it's faint and can't be selected.
Suggestions of any kind would really be appreciated. (And from now on, I'll just live with my name being misspelled as Administrator!)
Thanks a lot,

Richard,
Welcome to the Discussions.
When trying to import a pre-Tiger mailbox created with Mail, use type "Other", instead of type OSX.
However, if you can replace any copy of the Mail folder on your Tiger drive, and any com.apple.mail.plist in the Preferences folder of your Tiger drive with copies from your Panther drive, Mail will open to say it is ready to import Mailboxes, and will then convert all the mailboxes at once.
However when finished, you will need to check for leftover files, that can become problematic, and to check to see if full conversion took place. See:

Not able to post a new topic to Discussions Safari Safari for Mac

Hi, I'm new to Apple Discussions, but not new to posting to forums.
Currently I'm not able to post to Discussions>Safari>Safari for Mac. I can login, view all post threads, create and save a draft, preview the draft, but cannot post the draft to Discussions>Safari>Safari for Mac.
However I am able to post to a different category; Discussions>Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger>Using Mac OS X Tiger. See posting "This is a test. Please do not reply to this post".
When I try to post to Discussions>Safari>Safari for Mac I get pushed to another web link and system message as follows;
http://discussions.info.apple.com/backsoon/discussionstempaway.html
We're sorry, Apple Discussions is temporarily unavailable. We'll be back soon.
Until then, please visit http://www.apple.com/support
Currently when I open the category Discussions>Safari>Safari for Mac, I see an error message that reads;
Error
An error in the system has occured. Please contact the system administrator if the problem persists.
I have searched for a link to "contact the system administrator", but cannot find it.
I get around the Safari for Mac category error message by clicking on 'next' and it then displays the current threads.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is a bonus issue I'd like to resolve asap, to get to my original issue with Safari 4.1 crashing.
Thanks to those who can help!

You're Welcome cuzindave!
That's odd. It was OK before but when I checked again it was down and now it's back.

You can buy the Leopard 10.5 DVD at the Apple on-line store for $129 http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC094Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA&mco=MzgzMjcyOA or from most any local computer retail store or a web store. Your Mac far exceeds the minimum requirements to run Leopard.
If you are currently running classic applications when booted in Tiger 10.4, you will not be able to run classic applications when booted in Leopard 10.5.
