To update PB os tiger to leopard
Could I update my Tiger osx4.11 to Leopard in order to use Printer Samsung M2070W, also to download Adobe Acrobate Reeder 9
Yes. Buy a retail Mac OS X 10.5 DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay.

Can't find mails anymore after update from Tiger to Leopard
I've just updated my IMac from Tiger to Leopard (OSX 10.5.6).
After opening the Mail program I just see the menu bar (no window for the postbox).
When I open the postbox via the menu bar, the box is just empty. Are my mails gone? Where can I find or restore them?
Thanks for help,
VanilliaLet's force an overall reindexing via the removal of the Envelope Index. Note the special instructions when forcing the reindexing of IMAP or Exchange accounts in the following:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/3.0/en/14019.html
This will force the reindexing of all the POP mailboxes and all On My Mac mailboxes. With regard to any IMAP accounts if you have any, the practical result of this action of removing the account folder, is that with the IMAP account still set up in the Preferences, Mail will connect to the IMAP server and create a new account folder, and while doing so will index the messages in the mailbox folders of the IMAP accounts on the server.
Keep me posted.

Can anyone tell me how to find what OS I'm using on the Mac?
Tiger or Leopard?
Also, how do I update from 10.6.8 to the latest version?Go to the Apple menu and select "About This Mac". You will get a window similar to this one -
You current OS X version number will be shown as I've marked.
OS X 10.4.x is Tiger, 10.5.x is Leopard, 10.6.x is Snow Leopard, 10.7.x is Lion, and 10.8.x is Mountain Lion.
Whether or not you can go to the latest OS X version depends upon your hardware -
You will need to purchase the retail set for the OS X version you want; there is no pint in getting and installing any intermediate versions. Once the retail version has been installed, you can update it to the latest release for that version via download updater. -
Update question - Tiger to Leopard
Hi all,
I'm posting a message on behalf of my parents who run a graphic design business. Their office has two Macs that were upgraded to Leopard from two retail DVDs quite a while ago now. However, for a while they've also had their own MacBook Pro for partly personal, partly business use. This was an end-of-the-line model, and so still had Tiger, even though it was new.
Now, I know in the business environment, each Mac needs its own Leopard DVD. One of their Mac desktops is broken and there are no plans to repair it. I want to update their MacBook Pro from Tiger to Leopard using one of their Leopard retail DVDs.
I'm aware that technically they'd have to pay to repair the broken Mac just to uninstall it's Leopard, but as it's broken and won't be fixed, that's not so much my concern. My question is, is there any form of registering once the OS is installed? Or could you, if for example you owned lots of Macs, buy the appropriate number of Leopard DVDs so you have all the licenses, but use just one DVD to install it on all of them? I wouldn't want to do anything against the license agreement if a DVD is 'tied' to a Mac after installing the update for it.
Apologies for the long-winded post! Responses greatly appreciated! (And apologies if this is a bit of a no-brainer!) I'm hoping to do this for them this evening.
Don't mind the models listed below - they're my personal Macs.Ed85 wrote:
Hi there!
Thank you all for your responses! Much appreciated : )
It is pretty much as I thought, although I'm confused since my parents told me they're pretty sure the third party Mac support company they use registered things over the phone, but I'll ask them again since they might be the confused ones.
I know you can just pop in the DVD and you have a nice upgraded OS within an hour or two, but would you recommend backing up their files first on a DVD or something? I know the DVD just replaces the OS and nothing else (I wouldn't be doing a clean install to wipe the HD) but just to be sure.
Geez, isn't it funny how, even though I've used Macs for ages through university, STILL these little questions crop up in my head - polluted from having previously used that convoluted Windows haha. Ah well - hopefully time will heal it!
They may have registered the computer, but the OS X DVDs have no serial numbers to enter or any real way of tracking the license for the DVD. You definitely want to backup the data just in case something goes wrong. Ideally, you'd have a bootable backup, created using CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper! which you could use in case the upgrade goes horribly wrong.

Updating to Tiger or Leopard on iBook G4
I have an ibook G4 800 MHz that's currently running on panther 10.3.9. I need to update to a new operating system as i got an ipod nano for christmas that doesn't work on 10.3. I am not sure whether to get Tiger or Leopard and am not sure where to get them from.
I am reluctant to spend too much on a new operating system as my computer is quite old and may not last that long anyway.
any advice on which operating system to go for and where to get it (particularly tiger as apple no longer stock it) and how much it is worth spending would be greatly appreciated.You haven't given the full specification of your computer, especially the amount of Ram, but if it is a 800mhz G4 like mine I am posting from, it will only go as far as Tiger officially. Check this for Tiger system requirements
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1514
With only 256mb ram it would be rather slow though, and make sure you have enough space free on the hard drive. With 640mb ram my iBook gives a reasonably pleasant performance, but I don't use it for many intensive tasks. You might get Tiger from ebay but make sure you get the general upgrade disk with the X on it and not one that came as a restore disc with a particular model of a computer: if they come from an Intel Mac they would not work at all and even restore discs from a power pc computer would have issues, so check carefully with the vendor it's a generic disk before parting with money.
Remember to back up EVERYTHING before you even attempt to upgrade. -
I am getting blocks of black, vertical broken lines to right of cursor, around applications on desktop and over text on internet. I recently updated from OS X Tiger to Leopard on my G5 powermac. Can anyone advise how to get rid of the blocks of lines?
What graphics card is installed?
Have you looked inside to see if the interior is dusty?
Is the graphics card dusty?
If equipped, is the fan on the graphics card turning?
Leopard uses the graphics card harder than Tiger, so weakness in the graphics card is more easily shown. -
I upgraded my non-intel Powerbook G4 from Tiger to Leopard and then to 10.5.8. While reinstalling my files, I dragged the 10.4.11 Stickies app onto the desktop from my backup. Somehow, I got confused when the computer asked if I wanted to replace the old version with the newer version. I think the computer saw the dragged old applicaton as the new one that came in Leopard. Obviously I made the wrong choice and lost the Leopard Stickies. They came off of the dock and also are not located in Applications on the HD. The old copy from the Tiger backup can't be opened.
How can I get the Leopard Stickies back?? All I can think is to reload Leopard and I can't face that right now. Any ideas as to how to get them back relatively painlessly?Search these discussions for "pacifist" and you should find a link to a utility that will allow you to extract the application from the installer.

Client Upgraded from Tiger to Leopard Can No Longer Connect to Tiger Server
I just finished upgrading a G5 2GHz DP Powermac from Tiger to Leopard. This was an Archive and Install upgrade with importing the old settings. After verifying the account migration, including .Mac connectivity, and fixing all 3rd party software compatibilities/upgrades, I tried to connect to our Tiger 4.11 server by clicking on the server's Icon in the Shared section of the Finder Sidebar. The finder then switches to browse the the server for shares: "Connecting..." is displayed under the tool bar, with a "Share Screen..." and "Connect As..." buttons to the right.
At this point the "Connecting..." remains displayed with the spinning circle in the bottom right of the Finder window.... spinning. This situation continues for several minutes until is seems the system gives up.
If I click on the Path button on the Tool Bar, and go up to the Shared level, ALL the Shares on the Network are displayed, including all the Tiger Client machine shares. I can click on the triangle beside the Tiger Client's icon, and all the drives and home directories on the Mac are listed. All the client shares can be accessed without any issues. NOTE: There are no other Leopard clients on the LAN.
Prior to the Leopard upgrade, this client could connect to the Tiger server as well. All the other clients on the LAN can access the Tiger server also.
On the Leopard client I have tried clicking and the "Connect As..." button and using the menu "Connect to Server" and specifying the server's IP, and I get the same "Connecting..." message with a "non-connecting" result.
I can only assume that somehow the Account Name and password are not being passed correctly. But, using "Connect As..." should resolve that. However, "Connect As..." does not give me a user/password window!
If I check the AFP Access log on the Server, the only messages displayed are "Mounted Volume..." No messages in the error log, and no messages in the "Connections" section.
Can anyone help me figure out why the Leopard client can not connect to the Tiger Server?
My apologies if the description of my problem is a bit disjointed. I have been thrown into server admin and am learning "Trial by Fire".
Any help or suggestions on how to resolve this issue will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Gary
Message was edited by: Gary SumlakOK. A quick update.
After waiting for about 10 minutes for the rotating circle in the bottom right corner to stop, I was able to click on the "Connect As..." button. It took another 10 minutes, but the Connect As window eventual popped up. I entered the Userid and Password (saving to Keychain) and was able to see all the sharepoints on the the server. I browsed all the connected drives and folders without issue.
I then disconnected from the server. Reviewing the AFP logs on the server shows messages for the connection Login and Logout.
I then tried to reconnect to the server, and again another 10 minutes wait, although this time the Leopard client eventually connected automatically with the proper User, as per the AFP logs confirms.
Although, the client can now connect to the server, for it to take 10 minutes will be unacceptable to management, not to mention the end user. Tiger clients can connect in a couple seconds!
Is there a way to reduce the Leopard login time to, say, a couple seconds, like it does with the Tiger clients?
Again, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I don't have a dual-layer drive, can I install Tiger or Leopard?
Disclaimer: Apple does not necessarily endorse any suggestions, solutions, or third-party software products that may be mentioned in the topic below. Apple encourages you to first seek a solution at Apple Support. The following links are provided as is, with no guarantee of the effectiveness or reliability of the information. Apple does not guarantee that these links will be maintained or functional at any given time. Use the information below at your own discretion.
Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, and Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard come on what appear to be larger than 4.7 GB discs. This does not mean you need a dual layer drive to install them. Some Macs capable of installing Tiger or Leopard came with a built-in CD-RW, or CD-ROM drive. For those a compatible Firewire DVD drive for booting Mac OS X can work instead of replacing the internal drive. Tiger also came in a limited edition Media Exchange Program CD installer package, which you may be able to find in the open market. The limitation for each is dependant on other hardware:
1. If your Mac shipped new with no Firewire, you may be able to install Tiger a special third party addon software known as XPostFacto.
2. If your Mac shipped new with less than 867 Mhz built-in processor (including dual processor 800 MHz or less), you may be able to install Leopard with a special third party addon software known as Leopard Assist.
3. If your Mac shipped with a processor upgrade card installed, and #2 is true, a firmware update may be available from the processor upgrade card vendor that allows Leopard's installation.
4. Tiger needs at least 256 MB of RAM.
Leopard needs at least 512 MB of RAM.
If you have a lot of dashboard widgets, you may need to increase RAM to improve performance on either operating system. The RAM needs to follow Apple's specs to ensure smooth operation. Only get RAM with a lifetime warranty.
5. Officially you need for Tiger:
"At least 3 GB of free disk space; 4 GB if you install the XCode 2 Developer Tools" from: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1514
And officially for Leopard you need:
"9 GB of available disk space or more" from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3759
However, I would add to that if your hard drive doesn't have at least 15% of the drive free in addition to that, you may experience significant slowing down in the operating system function. This number has been arbitrarily discovered by many users.
6. When installing Tiger or Leopard, if your machine shipped with Panther (10.3) or earlier, be sure to get the retail Tiger or retail Leopard.
The Tiger installer is a san serif gray and white X with a spotlight on the center of the X on a black background.
The Leopard installer is a san serif black and gray X on a pink galaxy centered on a black background.

Hi a brody,
Maybe it's my training that states to focus on what we can do, but I'd suggest changing the double negatives to positives. Let me know as that does leave out the "if and only if" implication of the "can't" statements which you may want to keep.

After Tiger to Leopard conversion shared user folders stopped working
Hi,
Today i updated our mailserver to leopard. This server is also the OD master. Directly updated to 10.5.1 to have the latest bugfixes. Most things seem to work ok, but somehow our shared folders are not visible anymore. Checked the rights on them with cyradm and those are still good. When opening the account in thunderbird i can see the boxes but i cannot select them (can chose to subscribe / unsubscribe though). Has anybody else experienced this or know the answer to this problem?
Best regards,
Eelcosince i am testing leopard server with tiger and leopard clients i just noticed this problem seems somehow related to mail 3.1 accessing IMAP ACLs differently to mail 2.x, as tiger client to leopard server works fine in picking up shared imap folders.
result: atm assigning ACLs individually seems to be the only way to share imap folders... ;0(
any ideas on how to make group ACLs work again would be highly appreciated.

List of sysctl add/del/changes between Tiger and Leopard
I've ran a quick diff between the sysctl values in Tiger and Leopard. Note: This is from two different macbook's, so some values may be changed due to hardware.
This should give folks an idea as to what buffer sizes, performance tweaks, etc. have been added.
If you're real bored, I guess you could revert everything network related back to Tiger values ... but, yeah, good luck with that. You may break more than you fix.
Most of these you can lookup on-line or in the kernel source to see what they do. Sometime in the next week or so I'll add descriptions if you don't have a network background or src code background.

I believe I'm having the same issue. I'm using Mail.app in 10.5 with a gmail account (IMAP). The issues is that in Tiger we had the IMAP option in the account settings "Advanced" tab to: "Automatically synchronize changed mailboxes." This option appears to be missing, and even more, does not happen in Leopard. What this means is that changes to folders (other than one's that you explicitly open/synchronize manually, will not shows updates in Leopard.
This is especially annoying with the "All Mail" (Archive) folder for Gmail IMAP in Leopard. In order to ensure that your "All Mail" is always up to date, you have to manually open it (to initiate a sync). Otherwise it does not auto update like it does in Tiger.
Thanks,

Mail app on Tiger and Leopard no longer bring in mail from non-apple servers
My husband's computers use Tiger and Leopard (10.5.8) to access his email on the Mail program. His mail is from Comcast and uses the Comcast server, not apple or iCloud. His mail suddenly stopped working a couple of days ago.....as it did on one of my machines that still uses Tiger. He had not done any updates that could have broken the software. He does not have iCloud except on his phone and he doesn't even have a .mac address. There is no reason for the comcast server to not be able to be accessed by Mail app.
He did finally update everything that needed it and it still does not work. Why would Apple's change over to iCloud break email access from other servers and how can we fix it. He really doesn't want to do his mail on Comcast's web site as it's slow and awkward.
Thanks for any help you all can offer.
PaulaThank you for answering.
I know it shouldn't have been able to stop those accounts from working on the Mail app but it did.Out of 4 machines, 3 stopped working at the same time. The 4th is on Snow Leopard and continues to get my Comcast mail. But the one Tiger machine and 2 Leopard machines no longer access any mail from any server. Shouldn't be possible, but it happened.
I don't want to delete accounts because I don't want to lose the old email in the different folders on there and the software is acting so bizarrely, I know the mail would be lost.
I checked all the settings and compared them to the one on Snow Leopard that still works. The settings are all the same. The only difference is the OS.
And to make things more frustrating, I found that several entries in my Contacts book were either deleted or scrambled with phone numbers for person A in the entry for say, person C. I mean it's a real mess and this all happened after I got a notice from Apple that they were shutting down all their mobile me stuff and sending everything to iCloud. Syncing is obviously a mess now and I don't even want my stuff sync'd there. My husband has never even signed up for iCloud but since he has an iTunes account, thus an Apple acct, they appear to have automatically put him on iCloud too. And....mail quit working unless he gets it on his iPad or iPhone.
We're fed up with Apple's insistence on total control of it's customers' previously working equipment. We have no desire to upgrade to Lion or it's next iteration. We have been happy with what we have and asked only that it continue to just WORK.
It's become a rotten Apple in the past few years. We've been with them a long time but we're watching other companies closely for something that will do what we need without the draconian control.
I have a feeling the only way to "fix" Mail.app is to upgrade to Lion and we won't be doing that.
Thanks again. -
Need to Upgrade current Mac OS 10.3.9 - Tiger or Leopard
I am looking for advice - Need to update Mac OS x. Should I go with Tiger or Leopard? I have read several negative issues about Leopard not being ready for 'prime time'. Want to have a seamless upgrade with minimum downtime. Plus, read that Leopard doesnt have I-Photo and I-DVD so have to purchase I-Life-
The retail version of OS X Tiger and Leopard do not include iLife. It is bundled with the restore disks when you buy a new Mac. If you have an older version of iLife you can install it on Leopard or Tiger by inserting the restore disk and click 'install bundled software'. You may want to buy iLIfe '08 for maximum compatibility and new features. (I'm guessing your version if iLife is quite old).
I'd personally recommend Leopard as it's the latest and greatest, although you should upgrade your RAM as 512mb is the bare minimum.
I also recommend you use the 'erase+install' option as people generally don't have many issues installing OS X this way. (Compared to an upgrade install for example). -
