Upgrading to leopard- stops after language selection

Well, I'm on my uncle's G5 imac, and I said I would update his OS (he is currently running 10.4.11) to 10.5.5, so we booted up the disk, and after the language selection, it tells us that we cannot install this OS.
It says the error occured when creating a file called asav, whatever that is.
If anyone wants to know more, has had this problem, or knows the solution, please help!
thank you...

You don't need a patch you need to purchase a Leopard upgrade. You can get them from Apple or one of their resellers such as Amazon. Once you have the Upgrad DVD then you can upgrade your Uncle's machine. The link below is for Apple's UK store:

Itues 11. How do you make Podcasts play continuously. Right now they stop after each selection

In iTunes 11 my podcasts stop after each selection. How do I play them continuosly as I was able to in iTunes 10?

I second this motion of shenannigans.
Upon updating to iTunes 11 I was unpleasantly surprised by the fact that my podcast smartlists no longer played continuously.
So,
Dear Apple, perhaps you want to fix the section on your website describing how to use a smartlist for continuity of podcast play, because it is not working as described http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/.
and yes, I too would like to know what's going on and how to fix it.

10.3.9 to 10.4 upgrade, hanging after language selection on initial setup

xserve was on 10.3.9. i ran the 10.4 upgrade dvd. server rebooted and gave me the language selection dialog. i selected 'english' and continued. 'welcome to os x' window appears momentarily with blue progress bar which finishes. this window disappears and then the screen is all blue with a spinning wheel that goes on forever.
i rebooted and tried again. same result.
i booted from install dvd. repaired permissions. renamed /Library/StartupItems folder to 'StartupItemsDisabled'.
rebooted and same result.
now the installed dvd will only let me do an 'erase and install' which i'd prefer not to do. this server is hosting a filemaker pro server installation.
any suggestions?
thanks!

Hi
You could also try target disk moding the XServe to another mac that has a DVD drive and try from there. Make sure you have a fallback position before trying this as Daddy has already suggested if the disk is bad you might get it installed but subsequently have boot problems with your Xserve.

Having trouble upgrading to Leopard......

First off, sorry if this seems like a stupid or obvious question.
I'm currently running Panther and am trying to upgrade to Leopard but after I insert the CD and restart it goes to a dark gray screen and then I get that spinning pin wheel and it just stays like that. I did read where it takes around 15-30 minutes to get to the install screen but the last time I did it I let it sit for over an hour before I quit.
Can somebody help me out? Thanks.

Try resetting your PRAM.
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
Also try booting holding the C key after you reset the PRAM instead of having the instal disc do the restart. If you get to the instal screen, run the Disc Utility and repair permissions.
Good Luck

Screen flicker stops after Leopard upgrade...

I have been suffering from the dreaded screen flicker affliction for about 3 months now on my Nov. 07 MB c2d. I upgraded to Leopard yesterday, without any issues at all by the way, and my screen appears completely normal with no flicker at all. Hopefully this will last.
Is it possible Tiger was the cause of the flicker and not the inverter like so many had theorized?
In any case, there may be hope for all those afflicted with that annoying problem...:)

Brand new MacBook Pro with Leopard and brand new 23 inch cinema display… I just saw some very noticeable screen flicker on the desktop picture. It was most noticeable when I had lots of windows open and could only see about an inch or so of the desktop at the top. It lasted maybe 5–10 minutes and stopped.

Airtunes stops working after upgrade to Leopard

I have a 12" G4 and my wife has a Macbook. We've used airtunes/airport express connected to a netgear wireless router for years to play music over our stereo system. Ever since upgrading to Leopard, our airtunes has ceased to function. The airport express unit flashes its yellow light and it is not detected by the airport utility. Our internet continues to function fine through the netgear router.
I've searched forums all over the web and have not found any solution to this issue. Many people seem to have variations of the same problem, whether it's compatibility with Front Row or just a wireless network in general. I've updated software, set my firewall to allow all incoming apps, etc. The only other solution i've heard is to delete a kext file from the extensions folder, but that doesn't work either.
Does anyone know if there is a fix to this or is Apple abandoning this hardware?
Thanks, any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Found a work-around at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6594544&#6594544
Woot!

Quicktime AVI files stop working after upgrade to leopard

i have a white 2.0 13" macbook - ran tiger, upgraded to leopard - when i pulled my info off the external - any video file that ended in .AVI basically crashes the finder - this includes trying to play them from the external drive it self - oddly all of my files were locked, which i did not do -and time machine says i cant use my simple tech drive as a backup because i do not have access to a certain file - are these problems related?- everything worked perfect in my macbook pro - anyone know anything about this?

I did un - lock them, one by one, when i plugged in my new macbook into my external, most of the library and a bunch of other random files were locked from the previous back up i did from my old computer - now when drag over any file ending in .AVI to the new macbook, they crash the finder and do not open - every other file type worked fine as far as i can tell- very odd. These AVI files are just short video files that quicktime used to play on my old machines - they come out of my digital camera - quicktime made itself the default player for them and worked great on three other macs i have owned ,which all ran leopard - its so confusing!!!!!!!! - is there a codec or a plug in maybe? - did i install leopard wrong?

SCCM stops at "Set Up Windows" Language Selection Screen

This is my scenario:
1. I'm Using SCCM 2012 R2 w/MDT2013 to deploy Windows 7x64 image that contains 4 languages already injected into the .wim file.
2. The UDI is configured so that users can choose language, time, keyboard and time zone.
3. The image deploys fine but always stops at "Setup Up Windows" phase and prompts for an manual input from the user to choose a " language" even though the language was already selected at the beginning of the UDI sequence. Can anyone
help explain why this is occurring and more importantly how to fix it? I've searched through many forum but none with the exact problem I'm having. Once I choose the language again, it continues and the deployment is successful but I would like to avoid this
from occurring as it never had in the past. I noticed this behavior since we upgraded to SCCM R2.
Many Thanks!

I use this as my unattended.xml as I have 2 languages in our Win7 x64 deployment to stop the language prompt screen, there may be extra stuff in there as I never tried to trim it after I got it sorted.

Can't find emails after upgrade to Leopard

I've recently upgraded to Leopard from Panther. Once the upgrade was complete, I started up Mail to check my emails, and was greeted with a message asking me if I wanted to import my old emails. As it was getting late, I declined, figuring I'd do it the next day. On starting up Mail the next day, I didn't get the import message, and Mail started downloading emails from one of my POP servers, which I managed to stop after 4 messages had hit my Inbox.
I've now imported all the old emails from my other POP servers from the folders within each "POP-*username@popserver*" folder in /Library/Mail/, but the folder for the POP server that I had downloaded the 4 emails from now only has those 4 .emlx files in the /INBOX.mbox/Messages folder, rather than the several hundred that would have been in it prior to upgrading.
Is there anything I can do to get them back? Thanks in advance.

Jim:
Larry is correct. Look at the disks that came with the computer with Pacifist to locate, extract and install iPhoto. If you can't find it then contact Apple with your purchase number in hand and tell them you need the software disk for the iLife 08 applications.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Motion screen is completely black after upgrading to Leopard

Hi,
I have opened IDVD for the first time after upgrading to Leopard and it does not work correctly anymore.
The motion screen is in black and does not show anything (while you can hear the sound of the theme selected)
This happens with already created projects and new projects
All since upgraded to Leopard
It is possible to see a movie in an already created project, if you are able to go through the menuscreens and select the movie without actually seeing anything. Than the movie is shown correctly.
I work with the latest version of Leopard and IDVD, all on a macbook
Hope you can help !!
Thanks a lot

Bluetooth Mighty Mouse keeps freezing after upgrading to Leopard

My bluetooth mighty mouse has frequent, intermittent freezes (which appear to be a loss of sync to the iMac) after upgrading to Leopard (now 10.5.1) from 10.4.11 on my iMac 24" alum body. This mouse was rock solid on my iMac running Tiger. Luckily I do have a corded mouse which I've been forced to use the past week or so.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks.

I was just trying to help my Dad with the same exact issue (Mighty Mouse stops working on waking from sleep & trying to open bluetooth prefs at that point causes the system to lock up. Have to hold down power button to reboot)
Oddly I have Leopard on my iMac 2.16 Core 2 Duo and have no issues with my Mighty Mouse.
Hopefully someone comes up with an answer .... My Dad is 80 and just bought a new Powerbook and Mighty Mouse. It's hard to explain why the mouse doesn't work.

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.

Keyboard issues after upgrading to Leopard

Seems there's been quite a bit of discussion about this topic already but it's been confined to laptops and I haven't seen a solution yet. I'm seeing the same problems on a desktop computer using either a wireless or USB keyboard.
After upgrading to Leopard, my keyboard would occasionally stop responding to keystrokes. I have seen this happen on both an Apple USB keyboard and my Logitech wireless keyboard. With either keyboard, the letter and number keys would stop responding but keys like the CapsLock and Delete keys would still work. I have seen this happen when using Mac Office 2004 (Excel and Word) and Safari. With Excel, when the keyboard stops responding, if I click on a different cell, the keyboard comes back. I did update to 10.5.2 and I do have the latest version of the Logitech software but the problems still persist.
Strangely, I have only seen this happen on my MacPro but NOT my MacBook. There is a difference on how each machine was upgraded to Leopard though. On my MacBook, I did a clean install of Leopard on a new hard drive and then migrated my docs and apps from the old drive. On my Mac Pro, I did an upgrade installation over Tiger. Fortunately, I cloned my hard drive prior to installing Leopard so going back is an option and so is doing a clean install followed by a migration which is what I did on my MacBook.
Is there a fix for the keyboard problems? Am I going to have to downgrade back to Tiger?

Thanks for posting this. I thought I was alone in the universe. I have the problem with my mini, which came with Leopard installed. The USB keyboard will stop working in Word or Entourage ('04) and I have to close and reopen the document to get the keyboard going again. Thankfully, my mouse still works when this happens, so I can use it to close and save.
It seems to sometimes be triggered when I switch between applications, but I haven't been able to replicate it consistently. It is particularly bad when using find in Word. The find window will go dead and I have to close it and reopen it to do another search. (Though interestingly, I don't have to close the Word doc.)
It's irritating.

Can't get past language selection with Leopard Install disk

My 1 year old Intel Mac Mini, which had been running 10.5.4 without problems suddenly froze up. The mouse was still active but I couldn't click anything. I turned the system off with the power button. When I restarted it got as far as the login screen, but clicking the user didn't do anything. I was able to log in using safe mode (hold down shift when starting). I ran the disc utility, repaired permissions and verified the disc. Seemed OK, but still the same behavior (freeze at login screen) when I try to boot normally.
I tried booting from the Leopard install disk. When it reached the language selection page there were some strange-looking horizontal lines in the display. Clicking the "proceed" button caused a copy of the button's graphic to appear at the top of the page and nothing else happened. Very puzzling, since I had upgraded OS X using that same disc.
I have a Superduper backup from a couple of weeks ago. It won't boot up normally either. Any ideas? Unfortunately, I'm 2 weeks out of warranty!
Thanks,
jwstex

I would probably start looking at the ram to see if it's worked loose or a board has gone bad (rare, but it happens).
Make sure no external drives or other unnecessary connections.
If the ram doesn't fix the problem, then you could also Zap the PRAM by holding down the Command + Option + P + R keys during boot up. Hold down the keys until the Mac goes through 3 startup chimes, then just release the keys and continue to boot normally. Check your clock settings if it boots.

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.
