Upgrade RAM before/after upgrading to Leopard

I am new to Mac and I recently bought a Intel iMac running Tiger. I have the standard 1GB RAM that came with the computer but I plan to upgrade to 4GB RAM. Should I upgrade my RAM before or after I upgrade to Leopard?

I did it after the upgrade and it worked fine. Just make sure you buy your memory as a matched set.

  • Strange behaviors on MacBook Pro before & after installing Snow Leopard

    I am not sure if this is even a Snow Leopard issue. We have a MacBook Pro that up until recently had been running Tiger. A problem developed whereby we could not access the iTunes store. A message that the store was "not available at this time" came up repeatedly while at the same time another computer was able to make connections with it. In addition, when Firefox was opened, a prompt appeared to drag the Firefox icon to the applications folder. Even after this was done, the same prompt would appear during subsequent sessions.
    We updated the OS to Snow Leopard, and the iTunes store problem was resolved. However, there are some other unusual things going on with other applications.
    1. When Photobooth is opened, we get this message: "There is no connected camera."
    2. When we open any of the Office applications, we are greeted with: "To open Microsoft Word (or Excel, PowerPoint, etc.), you need to install Rosetta."
    3. The above-described issue with Firefox still occurs frequently. Even though Firefox is located in the Applications folder, there is now a volume named Firefox on the desktop. We can't get rid of it.
    We don't know for sure if the Photobooth and Office issues were present right before the Snow Leopard installation, but they had worked properly in the past.
    One thing we did do is a verify and repair of permissions. There were MANY that needed to be repaired.
    In addition, right around the time SL was installed, the computer was frequently shutting off without warning. The mouse was also operating erratically. It was found that the battery needed to be replaced, as the existing one was expanding and was actually disrupting the operation of the mouse pad. Could this battery have been the source of these problems?
    What are the next steps we should take?

    I suppose your expanding battery problem could have caused some or all of these problems, but most of them sound like software issues.
    If I were you I'd try a few things:
    1. boot from your snow leopard install disk and repair your startup disk with disk utility.
    2. repeat the repairs until no repairs are reported (the toilet paper principle).
    3. repair permissions again.
    4. if the problems persist, trash the preferences files for the misbehaving apps.
    5. if the problems persist, delete the misbehaving apps and reinstall them.
    6. it the shutoffs persist, try a PMU reset.
    7. a PRAM reset would probably be a good idea too.
    8. if none of that works, archive and reinstall.
    there is a freeware utility called applejack that will also do most of this.
    Details on all of these will be readily available with a google search.

  • Crazy problems after upgrading to Leopard.  Can you help?

    I have a PowerMac G5, 1.8 dual processors. It came with 256MB of RAM, which I removed and replaced with 2GB of Crucial RAM soon after purchasing the computer nearly four years ago. I added a 250GB Maxtor hard drive to the 60GB original two years ago. I used the Maxtor drive for storage. Everything ran perfectly before Leopard and iLife ’08 installation.
    Prior to installation, I cleaned off the 250GB Maxtor hard drive, and then installed Leopard to it using only the installation instructions on the disk. (FYI, I bought both programs from a local Apple store.) When prompted, I had it bring over the software and files from the original hard drive. My idea was to clean off the original, 60GB hard drive, and use it for storage. Due to problems galore, I have not done that.
    When I waken my computer from an all-night Sleep mode, the following happens:
    iWeb ’08 will load, but I cannot save anything to it.
    Safari will load and immediately freeze.
    Firefox will not load because it reports that it is already open.
    Entourage will open initially, but then report it cannot open virtually any functions.
    Word for Mac will open, but nothing can be saved.
    iPhoto will open, but it cannot be used.
    This is how it goes for every program—none are useable.
    Though I attempt to use the Force Quit option, programs will not close. I am forced to do a hard quit—holding down the power button until the computer powers off. Upon reboot, all programs work fine. The trouble seems to occur after going into Sleep mode.
    Just now I used the Disk Utility program, which upon completion, reported the following:
    Verify permissions for “Whopper” (the name of the 250GB hard drive)
    ACL found but not expected on “Library.”
    Permissions verification complete
    Repairing permissions for “Whopper”
    ACL found but not expected on “Library.”
    Permissions repair complete
    I am now running a test on the RAM, using Rember, as suggested in another thread. –All tests passed.
    So, there you have it.
    Suggestions?

    You're not kidding, are you? Can I choose door number 2? To say that I'm disappointed and disillusioned would be insufficient. I've done precisely what I learned at a local Apple Store.
    Sorry, I'm not kidding. But it isn't that big a deal. You are probably just frustrated and disillusioned based on your experiences with your flaky install. Try to remember how you felt about upgrading to Leopard before. That optimism is still warranted, with a little effort.
    I'm sure Apple's official instructions work fine 99% of the time, but there is no way that Apple or anyone can guarantee an automatic upgrade. That is why Apple always says to have a good backup before any upgrade.
    Would you translate what you instructed me to do? I don't know how to re-partition my original drive, nor do I know how to do a default MacOS X installation. It reads like I'm going to get a virtually naked machine, with none of the settings or files from before. Is that correct?
    Yes. That is correct. You start with a naked drive and install everything from scratch. Your machine will be "as if" it came from the factory with Leopard installed.
    You can boot off of the Leopard install DVD and run Disk Utility from the Tools? menu and delete partition on your "Whopper" drive. Then, return to the installer and just accept all the defaults. You don't have to worry about "upgrade install" vs. "archive & install". This will give you a fresh system.
    Is it possible to wipe-out what I have done on the newer hard drive (250GB), and go back to the original 60GB drive? Is it possible to start again, or are the files on that drive now converted to the new? Does that make sense?
    It would be ideal if you could throw away everything on the new drive. You can always copy off any new or modified files and restore those later. It sounds like you haven't been able to do much on Leopard anyway. It also sounds like you still have your 60 GB original, pre-leopard backup, which is a very good thing.
    There may be some people who will tell you to do an "Archive and Install" to install a new 10.5. That will probably work too. You will have to resist the temptation to go into the archived area and just start copying files back. That would likely put you right back where you started. The same goes for any of the "migration" tools. For all I know, they work great 99% of the time. I've never tried them and I've had problems 0% of the time. The reason I always recommend a re-partition is because it guarantees you have a factory install. It makes restoring more difficult, but I consider that to be a good thing.
    Here is my recommendation:
    1) Make sure you have a backup of your current boot drive
    2) Boot from from install DVD
    3) Use Disk Utility to re-partition boot drive
    4) Reinstall MacOS X using default options
    5) Reinstall any applications
    6) Setup user environment the way you want
    7) Copy over your old user and data files into a quarantined location.
    8) While maintaining backups of your new preferences and settings files, selectively restore your old files. These are things like your old Address book, your old Mail folder, and 3rd party application preferences files that contain license codes, etc.
    Step 1-5 will take a couple of hours. Step 6, 7, and 8 may take a few days to get sorted out the way you want.

  • Recently Upgraded to leopard on 1.5ghz powerbook 1.5gb ram

    hi
    i upgraded to leopard a couple of months ago which caused problems when i did archive and install. there were some bugs with Mail that would not quit. so them i did a clean install and now slowly adding the software needed.
    everything seems to run ok except a speed issue. viewing videos have become quite slow even low quality videos on you tube. watching videos on a file offline is also very slow. i have also added more ram to 1.5gb as before it was 756mb.
    has anyone gone backward to Tiger after upgrading to leopard because of having an old machine? sometimes i am tempted, but i have made backups with Time Machine already and file transfering has become a chore with large film files!
    what can i do to improve the performance of this machine? should i downgrade?
    i like some of the smaller new features of leopard, and it would be a shame to lose that as already it hase been useful in my work.
    what should i do?

    Hi,
    How much free disk space is there?
    To check how much free space is available on your startup disk:
    1. In Finder™, select your startup disk's icon. For most users, this is Macintosh HD.
    2. Press the Command-I keyboard combination.
    3. The Get Info window for your startup disk will open. In the General pane, the Capacity, Available (free space), and space Used on your startup disk will be displayed there.
    Go here and make sure your PBook specs meet the minimum requirements to run Leopard.
    And keep in mind, Leopard requiress 9GB of free disk space.

  • Final Cut Studio license invalid after upgrading to Leopard?

    Hello,
    After upgrading to Leopard 10.5.1, Final Cut Studio v5.1.4 and its companion apps like DVD Studio 4 do not recognize my FC Studio License as valid. I input the license key and it says:
    "Licensing Error
    This application cannot continue because the licensing data is corrupt."
    I am a licensed user via the FC Studio Crossgrade since 2006 and all has been fine with Tiger before Leopard.
    I have used Disk Utility to "repair permissions". I have removed the FC files from the Preferences folder to give it a clean start.
    PERHAPS A HINT?:
    So I tried to re-install FC Studio 5.1 from the FC Install DVD and I get this message after inputting the key:
    "Alert
    Licensing Error: The license file will not be written to disk because the user does not have enough privileges."
    I have Administrator privileges on this account and I even tried to install it as 'root' and the same error occurs.
    Is there a file that I need to change permissions on?
    THANKS for any help here! And happy holidays.
    Bonafide

    Hi,
    Unfortunately there is also an issue with installing FCS2 on a brand new installation with Leopard and this licensing error.
    "Alert Licensing Error: The license file will not be written to disk because the user does not have enough privileges."
    This also occurs, apparently, that if you are logged in with an Active Directory user with Admin privileges it still will not let you install the product keys.
    This is much the same as a problem with Adobe CS3 products, only the updates work when you are logged in with a local admin - not an Active Directory Admin.
    Both these problems are really really annoying for those on corporate networks - such as myself.
    For my problem, I had to log out as my AD account, login as a local admin and then install the software. .

  • After upgrading to Leopard on iMac, I cannot login.

    I have gotten my iMac barely yesterday. It came with the Leopard Software Upgrade on CD. Before I installed the Leopard, I had turned it on to see if it works and it did. Right away, I installed the Leopard and it said that everything was successfully installed. It asked me to reboot so I did. The login screen came up and I put in my password but for some reason it won't let me log in. When I click "Login," the screen goes blank for a second and goes right back to the login screen. I tried with a made up password to see if my password was the problem but the login screen shakes to inform me that my password is wrong. So I've figured out that my login password and everything is correct, but it keeps taking me to the login page and won't let me into the desktop. How do I fix this?

    You can also change your login password by starting up from the Leopard DVD, and selecting the option in the menu bar to change your password. When you reboot, you can then use the new/changed/corrected password.
    After you get back to your Desktop in Leopard, be sure to open System Preferences, select Security pane, FileVault, and set your Master Password. Be careful NOT to turn on FileVault unintentionally, as it will immediately start encrypting your account, which will slow down everything as it consumes CPU cycles encrypting your hard disk. If you forget your password, or if your encrypted account becomes damaged, you'll lose EVERYTHING in your account. The Master Password is used, among other things, to reset user passwords when you can't remember them, so you don't have to resort to the DVD.

  • What's the best way to backup before upgrading to Leopard?

    I'm preparing to move to Leopard from 10.4.11 and need a little help backing up. I want to do a clean install, so I want as good a backup as I can get to my external firewire disk. The external drive is about the same size as my internal drive, and I am about half full.
    My first thought was to use an rsync like solution and create a bootable backup. How cool is that? But it appears there are some issues with rsync, and those issues appear to have changed over time. My current version of rsync is 2.6.3, and it comes from samba.org. My guess is that is the default for 10.4.11, at least I don't remember changing it.
    So now I look at rsyncX version 2.1. It wants to replace my existing rsync and the documentation I found didn't reference a version of rsync as current as mine. In addition, rsyncX does not exist in the Apple support world. That bothers me a bit. I just as soon stay away from the SuperDuper, Carbon Copy Cloner, etc., because they are way more than I need.
    All this gets me to thinking that I might be better off just backing up user files. Currently my backup procedure is to occasionally back up user home folders. This is strictly a manual process, no scheduling required. KISS method usually works best for me.
    It appears to me that when I copy home folders to the external drive, they are then available to any user connected to the drive. The current user becomes the owner of all files on the external drive with full read write privileges. Is this true?
    So, I'm not looking for a backup solution, I'm looking to safely upgrade to Leopard. Time Machine will become my backup solution on Leopard, if I don't stick with my current solution.
    Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

    Although certainly not the only option available the safest way to clone is to use the Restore option of Disk Utility. However, alternatives include the current versions of several backup utilities that provide cloning alternatives:
    Recommended Backup Software
    My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
    2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
    3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
    4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
    5. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware - 3.1 is a Universal Binary)
    6. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
    7. Data Backup (Commercial)
    Before cloning do the following:
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • What can I do to restore good wifi reception after upgrading Snow Leopard

    My situation is similar to what is described by others, but different enough that I thought starting a new thread might help.  I upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard (10.6.3) in January.  All was good.  As new upgrades came out I conscientiously updated my software.  Then about 4-6 weeks ago I noticed that I could not get wireless in some areas of my house, further from my router, where I used to able to get fine reception, and where other computers in the house still worked fine.  The other computers are a MacBook Pro (running 10.6.8 but now just updated to Lion) and an iBook G4 (10.4.11).  I also noticed that when I streamed video it was choppy, even if I used an ethernet cable.
    I decided to reinstall from the CD (10.6.3) and that worked; all internet was back to normal.  Then I updated to 10.6.8.  Problem came back immediately. Reinstalled 10.6.3 and all was normal.  Upgraded to 10.6.4 still normal.  Updated to 10.6.5 problem back.  Went back to 10.6.3 and back to normal.
    I have tried repairing permissions and some of the other suggestions I have found here, but nothing works.  The only way to get decent wifi reception throughout my house is to go back to the CD and reinstall.   I see lots of people saying that after upgrading to later versions of Snow Leopard they lose wireless, but no one says they just lose wireless at greater distances from the router.  I am using a Westell 327W ADSL modem router (802.11g) and I am connecting to the internet on Verizon DSL. 
    I would like to upgrade to Lion but I heard that this does not help with the Wifi issues others have reported, so would like to get this sorted out before upgrading.
    Please help.

    The solution given by Tenortim fixed my problem.  Thank you Tenortim

    It is a little difficult.  You have to be able to use Terminal to do step 3.  Fortunately, my son was able to explain some of the details.  The rest is straightforward. 
    I wish Apple would not include the new firmware without making sure it worked.  I suppose if I upgrade to Lion, which I would like to do, I will have to go through the process again.  For now I will stick with 10.6.8 and the Airport driver from 10.6.4, since that is working great.

  • Stuck in a "loop" at the login window after upgrading to Leopard

    I bought a new iMac Oct 26. It contained Tiger, and included a disk for installing Leopard. I easily got the machine up and running using Tiger, but last night I attempted to install Leopard. When the installation was complete, I tried to get it running. A screen asking for my password came up. I keyed that in and hit logon. Back came the screen asking for the password. To make long story short, I tried everything I could last night, and then called Apple Support this morning. Took quite a while, but I was back in business this afternoon. The technician who helped me sent me the email copied below describing the solution. Perhaps it will help someone else? Romelle

    Mac OS X 10.5, iMac (Late 2007): Stuck in a "loop" at the login window after upgrading to Leopard
    Issue or symptom
    After installing Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard on a 20-inch or 24-inch iMac (Late 2007) computer, you may not be able to log in at the login window. Your login name and password are apparently accepted, but after a blue screen appears for a few seconds, the login window reappears instead of your desktop.
    Products affected
    20-inch or 24-inch iMac (Late 2007) computer with 2.0, 2.4, or 2.8 GHz processors
    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
    Solution
    If Leopard is installed
    Start up from the Leopard Install DVD and perform an Archive and Install installation (and select Preserve Users and Network Settings).
    After the Archive and Install is complete, you should be able to successfully log in. Use Software Update to install any other updates.
    Important: Install the iMac Software Update 1.3 for Leopard after the Archive and Install is complete.
    If Leopard is not yet installed
    If you have not yet installed Leopard on your 20-inch or 24-inch aluminum iMac computer with a 2.0, 2.4, or 2.8 GHz processor running Mac OS X 10.4.x, but previously installed the iMac Software Update 1.2, you should install the iMac Software Update 1.2.1 (Tiger) or later, before installing Leopard.
    Thank you,
    Apple

    If Leopard came pre-installed and this is a new machne, then the disks that came in the box should let you archive install preserving users & network settings. The disks have a grey label, and if you get more than one use disk #1 for this procedure.
    Hold down the "option" (also known as "alt" on the new keyboards) key when starting up with disk #1 in the optical drive. Select the install disk icon on the grey screen and click the arrow. Then when you get to the "select destination pane, click the options button after selecting your hard drive as the destination. In options A& I preserving should be checked by default, if not, select them. Click "ok" to dismiss the options pane, then run the installation.
    If this does not work for you, call apple support. They want everything to work. Be patient, they are real busy these days.

  • I recently upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard and I noticed that I have more capacity available on the Macintosh HD. I checked my files and applications and they are still on my computer. Can capacity on the HD change after an OS upgrade?

    I recently upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard on my MacBook and I noticed that I have more capacity on the Macintosh HD than before the upgrade. I checked my files and applications and they are still on my computer and nothing appears to be missing. Before the upgrade I had around 111 GB capacity with around 10.50 GB available on the Mac HD but now after the upgrade I have 119 GB capacity and 20.92 GB available. Can capacity on the HD change after an OS upgrade?

    No, but the upgrade removed unneeded PowerPC code and changed the way free space is determined.

  • All printers disappeared after upgrade to Leopard

    I made an upgrade to Leopard and all my production printers just disspeared under System preferences - print and fax.
    It wasn't a big thing to reinstall 4 print drivers. Well, that is, not yet known what happened to my CS3's Acrobat 7's PDF printer yet. For the 3 others Xerox production RIPs, I just redid the install.
    What I did is to use the new WINDOWS printer connector and this is great! It took me like 10 secs to set each of them. So easy and great improvements inside the printer installation. I've used the Xerox and Roland sites' PPD and there we go... all connected.
    Great improvements but too bad they all dissapear after upgrade...

    Hello Mac Experts,
    I recently upgraded from Tiger to Leopard and I too am having this same issue. After my upgrade was completed, I checked my printers and noticed that all my network printers were gone. I have never perform an OS X upgrade before and this is my first attempt, although the upgrade was successful but I was a bit surprised that all the network printers that I have were gone.
    For those us either in a small SOHO this is no big deal, however, if you're in a big environment where you have a lot of machines this would be a big problem and would create a lot of unnecessary work and time wasted.
    Have any of you Mac experts perform an upgrade from Panther to Tiger? If so, did you loose all your network printers that you have configured in System Preferences > Print & Fax
    Could this be a bug in Leopard????

  • IPhoto Library Not Found after Upgrade to Leopard

    I was running the newest iPhoto under Tiger and I just upgraded to Leopard. I tried to open iPhoto and a message said, "iPhoto library not found." It was there before I upgraded from Tiger. I mostly use Adobe Bridge so I didn't have much in iPhoto but I'm curious to see why the library disappeared and whether it can be restored. I looked all around on the hard disk and didn't see the iPhoto library anywhere. Thanks.

    Yes, it must have been upgrade and install because I followed the defaults. The iPhoto library was in the Pictures folder in Tiger and I never moved it. After the upgrade to Leopard, it was gone--it is no longer in my Pictures folder, nor does it seem to be anywhere else. I didn't touch it--the upgrade made it disappear. Why did that happen? What can be done about it? Thanks very much.

  • Lost mail after upgrade to Leopard OS X 10.5.1

    I upgraded to Leopard 10.5.1 from Panther 10.3.x. Everything opened as before except all the mail in all my folders between March 2006 and the date of the upgrade. Bookmarks, applications, address books, files, settings, desktop, etc. Absolutely everything is exactly as before, but all my saved mail is gone.
    Apple support (phone) wasn't much help, except to tell me that I should have done an "Archive Install". It would have been nice to know that ahead of time...there's nothing in the booklet that came with the software to suggest that, or warn you to do that. All it tells you to do is load the disc and click "Install". I'm not a techie, but a 60 year old barely computer literate soul who's very frustrated.
    Given that all the mail before 2006 is still there, I have a feeling that the missing stuff is lurking somewhere. Apple suggested looking in Library>Mail>Messages, but it wasn't there.
    Any help out there? Thanks.

    Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
    This is a problem of incomplete and flawed conversion of mailboxes that changed in structure after 10.3.x. Most people encountered the problem converting from 10.3 to 10.4, but converting from 10.3 to 10.5 has all the same issues. Typically the data is not really lost, but considerable work must be sometimes be done to recover full functionality. Read the discussions at the following links, that while written for conversion to 10.4 and Mail 2.x, and nearly the same for your path:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=413196
    and
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2685531&#2685531
    The primary thing is to look for mbox files of size within xxxx.mbox folders, and not lose them before checking for what has successfully been converted into Messages folders within xxxx.mbox folders.

  • After upgrading to Leopard, my PowerBook G4 "powers off" by itself

    Can anyone please help me with this?
    I upgraded to Leopard 2 weeks ago. And I've been experiencing issues that weren't there when I was on Tiger. It used to be totally stable. Now...
    Since the upgrade, when it's running on battery (the battery was totally fine before) the computer will just "power off" even when there's still a full charge on the battery -- and even when I'm in the middle of working on something. It won't even go to sleep. Just turns off. I have done all the usual checks (removing battery, resetting it, etc etc -- also disk repair permissions, too)...
    And when I power it back on, the "time & date" is set back to 1969 (default setting?)
    I went through Apple Support; one person said to replace the battery -- another said it was an issue with the Leopard software, and that I had to do a clean install. Not sure what to do? Please advise!

    A properly maintained Apple notebook battery is designed to retain up to 80 percent of its original capacity after 300 full charge and discharge cycles.

    That's 300 and you are at 1120!
    It does seem that your main battery has come to the end of its life cycle.
    My battery reads as follows:
    Charge Information:
    Charge remaining (mAh): 6208
    Fully charged: No
    Charging: No
    Full charge capacity (mAh): 6836
    Health Information:
    Cycle count: 7
    Condition: Good
    Battery Installed: Yes
    Amperage (mA): 0
    Voltage (mV): 12242
    The problem is simply a battery that can no longer hold its charge.

  • No sound on one account after upgrade to Leopard

    Hi,
    i just upgraded to Leopard. All seems almost fine apart from one fact.
    Basically it is the fact that I now do not have sound one of the accounts which are set-up. It works fine for my account, i.e. I am able to watch the videos and listend to the webradio's as before. But for some strange reason the same videos
    and webradio's do not work for my wife's account (we have Flip4Mac installed).
    any idea how i get the sound back for my wife's account ?
    Any help highly appreciated
    Many thanks in advance
    L.

    Will try that.
    Many thanks for your help.
    Another question though....would you happen to have an idea why when I listen to a webradio it keeps putting it into the buffer, i.e. after a certain period it starts all over again at the same time when i started to liste (i.e. agein the same U2 Song and the ones thereafter, the same 2pm news again despite the fact it is now 2.30h etc etc)
    any clue how I get the stream to work rather and putting it into memory/buffering ?
    Many thanks for your help and
    best regards
